Chapter 652: Making a Choice

However, who knows how much effort it took her to say these words.

Somehow, as she spoke, her smile faded, and her face was full of loneliness that she couldn't hide. The tears in the corners of his eyes involuntarily slid down.

A room full of people stared at the water veins with bated breath.

At this moment, Chu Tiankuo let go of Yanxiang's hand in a dejected manner. Seeing the tears in the corners of Shuimai's eyes, his heart softened.

The bits and pieces of the past and the water veins floated to my heart. He had promised her that he would marry her. She repented of her marriage, and for what, he knew very well in his heart.

It's not that she doesn't want to marry him, it's that she's afraid that he doesn't really want to marry her.

He promised Xia Wenxuan that he would let her father go, and he could do it. Why can't he make a promise to the water vein?

At first, it was because he didn't see his heart clearly and threatened to marry Shuimai, and the marriage contract was proposed by himself. He and Shui Mai are going to get married, and their marriage is well-known. Since he raised this matter himself, he has to be responsible for it to the end. A woman's chastity is more important than anything else, and how bad it is to carry the reputation of an abandoned woman.

The emperor's smile suddenly became vivid: "The girl with the water vein is really humble and vain. Whether it is in terms of appearance, character, or talent, the water vein girl is compatible with the emperor. The water vein girl and the emperor's talented woman are a match made in heaven. ”

"This marriage is up to my father." Chu Tiankuo suddenly spoke.

The emperor smiled from ear to ear: "That's good." I will choose an auspicious day for you to marry. ”

Smelling it, the heart of the smoke was dripping blood, and it seemed that I heard the sound of the heart breaking in the chest one by one.

Shui Wei lowered his head, and his heart was like ten thousand deer crashing, surprised and delighted. She remembered a dream she had before, in which she was the queen and Chu Tiankuo became the emperor.

And this dream, in its current view, is not just a dream. and it's about to become a reality. What could be more true and reliable than the words of the Emperor? The so-called king has no jokes, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opens, it is the will, who dares to resist the will and disobey it?

Moreover, this was what Chu Tiankuo willingly agreed, no one forced him, he was willing to do it. She and Chu Tiankuo split and reunited many times, and God finally arranged for them to come together.

There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it. She and Chu Tiankuo were destined to have a fate, and this time, she didn't want to push him away no matter what. Even if you don't get his heart, and if you can't get his people, you can get a name.

The people in the hall, while rejoicing for the water vein, are also worried about the cigarettes. Lan Ayayu and Chi Le thought that Yanxiang would make a lot of noise, lose his temper uncontrollably, and turn the world upside down.

However, the cigarette did not.

She already knew this kind of result. Yesterday, the senior brother personally told her that he would give Sister Shuimai a name. She can especially understand what the senior brother did just now, anyway, the emperor's desire to marry Sister Shuimai is so strong, he can't help but agree.

Morally, he had to marry Sister Shuimai. If he doesn't marry her, he will be burdened with heavy psychological baggage for the rest of his life.

However, from her personal point of view, she could not accept such a fact. But what could she do? If she makes a fuss with her, can she change anything? It will only make the emperor hate her even more, and it will only make the senior brother even more embarrassed.

The cigarette was a little distracted, and he sat in his seat. Her gaze stared at her feet in a daze, in a daze. She wished that a crack would come out of her feet and pull her into the crack, so that she would not have to suffer this nest.

Chu Tiankuo sat with Yanxiang, he reached out to pull Yanxiang's hand, but it was rare that Yanxiang did not refuse.

For Chu Tiankuo and the small movements of the incense, Shui Wei and the emperor opened a blind eye.

"You, are you alright?" Chu Tiankuo asked in a voice that couldn't be lower. Her calm reaction really made him uneasy.

Smoke Xiang looked up and pulled out a smile with difficulty, which she felt was more ugly than crying. But what does it matter? In such a situation, it is already a miracle that she can laugh. It's better to laugh than to cry.

This false smile made Chu Tiankuo stunned.

The emperor said something to everyone later, but Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang didn't hear a word.

Time passed imperceptibly, and it was time for the emperor to return to the palace. Only then did he say to Chu Tiankuo: "Emperor, go back to the palace with me." I have ordered someone to clean up the Bright Moon Palace, and you will live there in the future. In the past 24 years, I have been looking for you and missing you all the time. You have suffered a lot among the people, and I will compensate you well. ”

Chu Tiankuo smiled lightly and asked politely: "Father, the son is willing to return to the palace with you, but not today." Erchen still has some personal matters to deal with, please give Erchen three months. Three months later, Erchen must return to the palace to accompany his father Chenghuan. ”

"Three months?" The emperor asked repeatedly, his face sank, and he looked a little disappointed: "Emperor, what is it that has been done for so long?" The emperor can go back to the palace first, and send the palace people to do anything. ”

King Yong'an came over and said, "Brother Huang, my father is talking about you every day." What is more important to you than accompanying your father back to the palace? If it's not important, let's do it later, and accompany my father back to the palace first. After a pause, he added: "My father is old and needs someone to help him deal with state affairs, and the imperial brother, as the crown prince, should take on this important responsibility." ”

Hearing that they were in a hurry to let the senior brother go back to the palace, Yanxiang felt even more uncomfortable. As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and this life is like the end of the world. In the future, if she wants to see him, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Chu Tiankuo patted King Yong'an on the shoulder, and his tone was resolute: "When I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will definitely go back to the palace." Today, you will accompany your father back to the palace first. ”

The emperor seemed to be very talkative, and smiled lovingly at Chu Tiankuo: "Okay then." Since the emperor is so insistent, I will no longer force you. ”

After saying goodbye to everyone, the emperor then instructed Liu Xin: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

As soon as the emperor left, the people in the hall dispersed.

Yanxiang walked out of the gate of Dali Temple step by step with heavy steps.

She stood on the road in front of Dali Temple blankly, looking at the people coming and going in front of her, and the tears that she had held back for a long time finally fell. Those people have their own goals, they know where they want to go, what they want to do, and they know how they want to go in the future.

And what about her, what will she do in the future? The greatest sorrow of man is that he wakes up from a dream and does not know where he is going.

The case was closed, the elder brother was acquitted, and he was freed. This is a great thing, why can't she be happy? She should hate to be happy.

The eldest brother is about to go back to the palace to reunite with his father, be his crown prince, and live a life of pampering and dignity. He is also about to marry Sister Shuimai, but he has been thinking about it for a long time and gets rid of the torment in his heart. He no longer has to bear the burden of self-blame, and he no longer has to bear the infamy of being unkind.

The brilliant day of the senior brother Guan Hui is coming.

That's good, as long as she quits, everyone is relieved. It's all happy, isn't it? She was not suitable to stay in that palace and live, so it was better to give this opportunity to Sister Shuimai.

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wunan Mountain in the northwest of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, after the heavy rain, the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun has tilted westward, and the clear blue sky has disappeared. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains still maintain the freshness and coolness after the rain, just like "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn." The realm.

Wunan Mountain, a mountain full of bamboo, a boundless sea of bamboo. At the highest place on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded and elegant dwelling, all made of bamboo, divided into two layers up and down, hanging a plaque, with four big characters "Wunan Villa" written on it. There is a large yard in front of the bamboo house, and the yard is planted with exotic grasses. When the breeze blows, you can smell the aroma of flowers and plants.

"Senior brother, you have to stay a few more days when you come back this time, we haven't seen each other for two years. I heard that everyone in the rivers and lakes calls you the son of a fan. A delicate-faced girl stood in the courtyard, wearing a white dress, no fat powder, but it was fresh and refined, like a budding white lotus, only to hear the girl's voice was extremely sweet: "Your martial arts are so powerful, I have your protection, and I am no longer afraid of encountering thieves and gangsters." ”

"I don't like to listen to flattery. I usually tell you to practice martial arts diligently, but you don't practice seriously. Senior brother Chu Tiankuo gently patted the head of the cigarette with the fan in his hand, put on a straight face, and pretended to be serious: "If you meet a bad person in the future, I don't care about you." ”
