Chapter 102: Brothers Meet

King Jing entered the palace to pay respects, although he didn't eat the New Year's dinner, but he remembered his mother in his heart, he expected that the emperor must have accompanied the queen mother in the morning, so he entered the palace at noon, and came to the queen mother's bedroom, the emperor was really not there, so he accompanied the queen mother to talk and sit for a while.

"Queen Mother, how is your body?" King Jing asked.

The Queen Mother took King Jing's hand, let King Jing sit beside her, and sighed: "If your brothers are reconciled, then everything will be fine for the mourning family." ”

When King Jing heard this, he smiled a little reluctantly and said, "Queen Mother, we are not bad. ”

"You say yes, the mourning family believes in you, you are older than the emperor, naturally more sensible than him, son, the most precious thing in the world is family affection, don't hurt the feelings between brothers for your own selfish desires, the country belongs to our Liu family, you should work together to govern the country well!" The Queen Mother spoke earnestly and authentically.

King Jing was silent for a moment, patted the queen mother's hand and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry, it's okay." ”

The queen mother wanted to say something, but the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

King Jing's face suddenly became cold and hard, he stood up and said, "Queen Mother, the courtiers will enter the palace to see you another day!" ”

The Queen Mother grabbed his sleeve and begged: "Just coax the queen mother, make a scene in front of the queen mother, the queen mother wants to see your brothers in harmony." ”

King Jing hesitated for a moment, then saw the emperor and King Qing walk in, his eyes fell on Mao Leyan, he was slightly stunned, and blurted out, "Why are you here?" ”

Mao Leyan also recognized him, and remembered that he vomited all over the house last night, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry last night, I didn't mean to vomit you." ”

King Jing looked at the emperor with a judgment, and although he saluted, his tone was filled with anger, "See the emperor!" Looking at his expression, Mao Leyan knew that he probably regarded her as a spy sent by the emperor, well, if you drink a drink, you will not be human on either side.

The emperor said lightly: "Coming?" You don't have to be polite, sit down! ”

"Weichen still has something to do, retire first!" He bowed again, but he was facing the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters will enter the palace another day to greet you." ”

The Queen Mother looked at him with some disappointment, "You're just coming and leaving?" What's so anxious about you? Can't you sit with your mother for a while? ”

The emperor looked at the disappointed eyes of the Queen Mother, and also glanced at King Jing, and said, "Yes, they are all here, just stay with the queen mother for a while, she has been thinking about you." ”

King Jing said in a cold tone: "Yes, obey!" With that, he continued to sit beside the Queen Mother.

The atmosphere was awkward, and there seemed to be a lot of pressure in the stagnant air, which made people a little breathless. Mao Leyan looked at King Jing, he also raised his eyebrows and looked at himself, Mao Leyan smiled apologetically, but King Jing turned his face away coldly and didn't look at her.

Mao Leyan's smile stiffened on her lips, and she remembered a famous saying: Stick a hot face to someone's cold ass. That's right, that's how she is now.

Seeing this situation, the Queen Mother secretly hurt herself, tears slipped down, she said faintly: "The women of the world are not envious of the mourning family, but the mourning family is envious of the women of the world, at least they have a harmonious family, the mourning family is a widow, the mourning family never hurts themselves because of this, but their own children, but every day as if they are pasted on the wrong door, you see that I am not pleasing to the eye, I see that you are not pleasing to the eye, just look at when the knife and gun are moved, the mourning family is also old, and you don't listen to what the mourning family says." The mourners know that if you go to war, one side will kill the other. You all crawled out in the belly of the mourning family, and the mourning family didn't want to watch you kill each other, so it was better for the mourning family to end themselves now, so that you would have no worries and fight as much as you like. With that, tears fell from his eyes, and everyone present was saddened.

The emperor was sad, why did he want his brother to turn against him? It's just that even if he wants to give up now, King Jing won't let go, but now he can only force a smile and hurriedly step forward and say, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about?" We are brothers, so naturally we don't kill each other, it's just that there are some disagreements. ”

King Jing also said: "Queen Mother, my good emperor just has a political disagreement, these issues can be communicated, maybe it will be fine after a while." He glanced at the emperor, his expression a little complicated.

The emperor also looked at him, the once close brother, now turned against him, perhaps no one wanted to see it. King Jing felt a sadness in his heart, even if he was willing to let go now, he wouldn't give up, right? Otherwise, how could his position as emperor be consolidated? How to establish the dignity of the emperor?

The Queen Mother gently wiped away her tears and asked in disbelief: "You guys, is it really just a political disagreement?" ”

"Nature is true!" The emperor and King Jing said in unison.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, showed a smile, and said, "That's good, the mourning family can finally sleep tonight, and you don't have to worry about your brother's affairs anymore!" The Queen Mother saw that Mao Leyan was also coming, and hurriedly greeted: "The doctor girl is also here?" Quick, come and sit down at the mourning house. ”

King Jing glanced at Mao Leyan in some surprise, as if he didn't expect that she was the one who cured his mother.

Mao Leyan stepped forward to salute, "See the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother good health in the new year, all her wishes come true, and all the best." ”

"Okay, good, the mourning family's favorite thing is good health, as long as they are healthy, they can continue to be with their children, and the mourning family has no other expectations in this life, just looking forward to them rebuilding the old good, just like when they were young." The Queen Mother's words were clearly not said to Mao Leyan, she was not an old fool, she naturally knew that the emperor and King Jing were lying to her, in fact, the undercurrent between the two, she had already investigated it clearly. But since the two of them could lie to her in unison, even if they did, it was a precious gift to her, a gift from their brother to her. They were willing to tell this lie together for her sake, and she took it as if it was true, and then played the family card verbally, hoping to dispel their estrangement and hostility.

The emperor and King Jing did not make a sound, secretly sad. The two brothers haven't communicated for a long time, so even if they want to reconcile in the end, they feel that the other party is unwilling to compromise.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded again: "The queen mother has arrived, Princess Qingling has arrived!" ”

King Jing was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened a little, he raised his head and looked at the door, only to see the queen and Princess Qingling walking in together, with a faint smile on her face, first saluted the queen mother, and then walked to the emperor's side and asked: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan said that you were infected with wind and cold, but you are better?" ”

The emperor nodded slightly, "Okay, the queen has a heart." ”

Mao Leyan saw the queen for the first time, she didn't expect the queen to be such a beautiful woman, she exuded a noble temperament all over her body, standing with the emperor, like a fairy in the world. A faint sadness surged in her heart, she raised her head, and before she could salute the queen, her arm was snatched away, and then she heard King Jing's soft voice: "Let's go, don't disturb the queen mother's rest." The hand on his arm wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and his attitude was intimate, changing his previous indifferent expression.

Mao Leyan was slightly stunned, looked up and saw the queen's stunned eyes, and suddenly understood something, and now, she also needs to leave here quickly, she doesn't want to see the affection of the emperor and his wife, she held King Jing's hand and smiled sweetly: "Okay, San Lang, let's go!" ”

After that, they both retired from the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and before she could ask a question, King Jing had already taken Mao Leyan's hand and left quickly.

After leaving the palace and getting into King Jing's carriage, Mao Leyan's heart had not yet recovered, and what lingered in his mind was the situation when the emperor and the queen stood together.

"The person you like is Liu Yan?" King Jing's stiff voice sounded, with a bit of disdain.

"The person you like is the Queen?" Mao Leyan replied in the same tone, she was very confused and didn't want to deal with him, but he started to provoke first, and she didn't need to give him face.

King Jing said angrily: "Nonsense! ”

"Love is love, why don't you dare to admit it?" Mao Leyan said sarcastically.

King Jing suddenly looked at her fiercely, "You get out of the car!" ”

Mao Leyan leaned to the side and said a little tiredly: "I won't get down, let me hide for a while!" ”

"You?" King Qing was about to scold angrily, but when he saw her sad expression, his heart couldn't help but soften, he turned his face, he was also a fallen person at the end of the world, why bother? He paused and said, "Where do you live?" I'll send you back. ”

Mao Leyan shook his head, "I don't want to go back, why don't I go to your house for two days." "Whether it's the emperor or King Qing, she doesn't want to face it, but in the capital, she has nowhere to go. Maybe she can go back to Zhao Zhenyu, but Zhao Zhenyu is concentrating on making secret weapons, and she doesn't want to disturb him.

"This king has no home!" King Jing said expressionlessly.

"Okay, go to your mansion or other courtyard, if it doesn't work, forget it, I'll go find an inn to stay for a few days!" Mao Leyan opened the curtain and looked at the scene outside that kept falling backwards, everything couldn't go back, she couldn't go home, the old man didn't know if he had surgery, what happened to the family after her death? She now finally understands why some unjust souls are reluctant to enter the underworld after death, preferring to stay in the world and wander around, if she can, she also wants to go back to modern times, even if she is a ghost, she must stay with her family.

King Jing looked at her and said a little coldly, "What's so good about him?" Why do you like him? ”

Mao Leyan looked at him sideways, "What's so good about the queen?" Why do you like her? ”

"If you don't answer, forget it, this king is not uncommon to know." King Jing's face turned around with a stinky face, the corners of his mouth pursed, and his expression was depressed.

"King Jing, I want to go home!" Mao Leyan said quietly.

"Then the king will send you back." King Jing said impatiently. He looked at Mao Leyan, but was shocked, Mao Leyan's bright eyes were full of tears, his mouth was flat, and he looked like he wanted to cry.

"You ......." Before he could speak, Mao Leyan suddenly hugged him and cried whining, "I want to go home, but I don't know how to go back, I don't have a home." Do you know what it feels like to not have a home? Have you ever tried the land of heaven and earth, as if you were the only one left? It's so scary, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home, Mao Xiaofang, you come out, take me home! ”

King Jing's eyes slowly dimmed, what she said, he was suffering, he had no home, no friends, no brothers, nothing at all, whether he was happy or sad, he was the only one. He unconsciously reached out and patted her back, but he didn't say anything to comfort, because he didn't know how to comfort, and he knew that even comfort was useless.
