Chapter 47: Discussion (I)
"I don't believe it! You're talking nonsense!" the dragon pushed him away, holding his head, "I didn't hear anything!"
Ge Xuan's heart ached.
When he first came up with the idea for the emperor to settle the status of an innocent minister, he thought that there would be such a day, but he still had the mentality of luck.
Unexpectedly, there was really no impermeable wall in the world, and he finally waited for this day.
The world said that he was wise, but they did not know that he was also faithful. A wise man knows how to live a long life, but a faithful man cannot choose to live long.
For the sake of the emperor, he can only admit the crime of deception.
Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, and the love between him and Huanglong can only end here.
"I just pitied him for a while, so I found an identity for him, not to mention that I committed the crime of defrauding the king, I also admitted it. Let's go. Didn't you always want to marry me? Now it's just right, Ge Xuan won't be pestering you Huanglong. ”
"Ge Xuan!"
The phoenix dragon shouted, and Ge Xuan just let his heart ache and don't turn his head away, silent.
"How can you say that?" Phoenix Dragon choked up, angry and sad in his heart, "I Phoenix Dragon didn't marry you, but I didn't give you anything? Do we still lack a name? Why do you do such a risky thing, don't you think about me at all?"
“......”
"Brother Xuan, you can't leave me. Huanglong was scared, he saw the determination on Ge Xuan's face, and his eyes flashed in panic, "Big deal, I'll marry you." Do not confess this sin of deceit. ”
Ge Xuan's eyelids jumped suddenly, he almost couldn't hold on. I have been looking forward to it for so many years, but I didn't expect that in the end, Huanglong was still willing to compromise for him. Isn't my greatest wish to be able to tie the knot with him?
However, there is no turning back after all.
"Long'er, what's the use of talking about this now?" Ge Xuan glanced at him in embarrassment, "At the beginning, I begged you to marry me, but you didn't want to, but now I'm a guilty body, and you actually say that you want to marry me?"
"No," Phoenix Dragon argued, "not so...... Brother Xuan, I have always loved you very much, please, you can't die, otherwise Long'er won't be able to live. ”
Ge Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and finally he couldn't be ruthless, and sighed a long and heavy breath, "Long'er, the matter has reached this point irreparably. You'd better forget about me. ”
"No!" Phoenix Dragon glared at him, "How can you do this to me? You only have the north in your eyes, only the emperor! You are now willing to sacrifice yourself for the emperor, heh, I will never believe that you are a bully, I don't believe that the emperor does not know, I ......"
"Phoenix Dragon!"
The phoenix dragon was shocked and looked at Ge Xuan in disbelief, "You, what did you call me?"
It was too late for Ge Xuan to change his words, he sighed, "If you talk nonsense again, you really want to be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks with me!"
Phoenix Dragon sneered, "That's good. ”
"Dragon!" called Ge Xuan earnestly. Although Huanglong should not, he did not speak out again.
Ge Xuan looked at him and said gently: "The husband is the emperor's humerus, and he was ready to die for him a long time ago. And, if it weren't for this, I would have died sooner or later because of my brilliant brain. ”
"Now that he can die for the emperor, he has to think about it. He will definitely take special care of you in the future. Long'er, I've loved you all my life, you must live well......"
"I don't listen! You said it lightly, why don't you die for me, and you can live well?" said Huanglong and stood up, "Since you want to die, I can't control you, I can only control myself, you can do it yourself." ”
Ge Xuan heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him, "Long'er, what do you mean, what are you going to do?"
Huanglong stopped his steps and looked at him coldly, "I don't care if you are bent on death, so you don't care how I play with fire." ”
What the?
Play with fire**?
Ge Xuan was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Long'er!
But the sound floated in the cell, and the figure of the phoenix dragon never stopped until it disappeared.
Ge Xuan's back was cold, and he only felt that something bad was about to happen. With the ability of the phoenix dragon, if he wanted to do something, he was afraid that the entire northern kingdom would tremble. He's the richest man in the North!
And he has become a prisoner, and he can't save him and protect him.
Don't do anything stupid, Dragon.
"Prime Minister. ”
Just when Ge Xuan was at a loss, someone behind him suddenly called out to him.
You know, he is facing the only door in the cell, and there are only two people in the room just now, he and Huanglong, so who is it?
He jerked around, "Who?"
The man who bumped into Ge Xuan's eyes was a pale, sturdy but tired man. His face was expressionless, like a sculpture, standing motionless looking at Ge Xuan, and it seemed to be a gust of air, as if he would catch a breeze when he raised his hand.
Ge Xuan was still horrified by his sudden appearance, and felt that his face was abrupt and his face sank, "Who are you?"
The man saluted slightly, "I've seen the prime minister, and I'm in the shadow, it's the emperor who sent me to find you." ”
Ge Xuan was stunned, hearing that it was sent by the emperor, and he felt a little down-to-earth and comforted in his heart. But thinking of the way the man appeared, he still suppressed the fear in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "You ...... just now"
Jueying was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Ge Xuan's eyes moving around himself and the wall, he suddenly understood something, and was a little embarrassed, and said, "Jueying offended the prime minister! Please punish the Prime Minister!"
"Uh, there's no need...... Ge Xuan raised his hand weakly, as if he was afraid that the other party would take the blame for himself. But after thinking about it, he has been imprisoned here, and the position of prime minister will inevitably be cut because of this, so how can he now be just an ordinary person who can do some kung fu - even a criminal - how can he deserve the compliments of others?
frowned sadly, "I'm no longer the prime minister." You don't have to be formal. ”
A trace of pity flashed slightly on Jueying's indifferent face, "Prime Minister, you are the emperor and the northern country, and you have done your best, the emperor is thinking about it." ”
Suddenly, something poured into Ge Xuan's heart, with a trace of warmth, but also with blood and tears, this "reading" was to require him Ge Xuan to fulfill it with his life.
"Hmm. Ge Xuan lowered his head, was it really impossible to escape death?
Dragon's ......
"This time, the prime minister needs to be punished, but the emperor will do his best to save your life, so call me in advance to let you know, the emperor will not treat you badly......"
"Survival?" Ge Xuan raised his head and stared at the shadow.
The shadow is faint and desolate, because for such a crime of deceitful king, it is more painful to live than to die.
"Prime Minister, that's all the emperor can do, ...... you"
"I know. It's not bad if you're still alive. Ge Xuan lowered his eyes and whispered to himself comfortingly.
Jueying doesn't know how to comfort him, he himself has become a ghost or a ghost for the sake of the emperor, and if he wants to be seen by others, he also needs to lose his true yuan, and he is lonely and lonely. The emperor won't understand, and he doesn't want the emperor to understand. Even if the emperor understands, he can't change anything, because he still has the rivers and mountains of the north in front of him, and everyone can't help himself.
He understands, and the prime minister must understand.
Now that you understand, it is natural that everything you say is superfluous.
"Then, Prime Minister, is there anything else you need the emperor to help you do?"
Ge Xuan was stunned and shook his head, but the words of Phoenix Dragon Fang Cai suddenly sounded in his ears, and he immediately met the lifeless eyes of the Absolute Shadow, "There is only one thing!"
"Well, Prime Minister, you say. ”
"My Phoenix Dragon, you must take good care of him if you ask the emperor. Looking at him during this time, I was afraid that he would do something stupid. Please, that's all I have to ask. ”
Ge Xuan's tone was almost begging, and Jueying couldn't help but be moved, and nodded solemnly.
"The prime minister is relieved. ”
Hearing this, Ge Xuan was relieved, and his breathing was no longer cramped. Death is like home, and that's it.
"Is there any better advice for that than for the uninjured ministers?" the Jeepage asked tentatively, looking at him.
Ge Xuan suddenly looked at him vigilantly, "Who are you?" The reason why he asked this question was because he deeply understood that the emperor would never ask him about this - the emperor had his own plan in his heart, that is, he would never hand over the innocent ministers, and he would never let him go back to Ji Kang. Since the emperor had a plan in his heart, how could he ask him, a person who must hold the opposite opinion?
Jueying's face showed a bitter expression, "Prime Minister...... I am, Moon Chenghuan. ”
Moon Chenghuan!
Ge Xuan's head buzzed, "What are you talking about? Didn't Wen Chenghuan die when he signed the no-injury contract? Your face doesn't look like it!"
Juying remembered that after his death, his out-of-body soul went through thousands of lightning slashes, and finally arrived at the emperor in a flutter, only to realize that he had failed to complete the no-injury deed, and had become a kind of ghost called a "crippled minister", not even a human.
pursed his lips bitterly, "Has the prime minister ever heard of the crippled minister?"
Ge Xuan was stunned, he read a lot of books, he knew astronomy, he knew geography, he also browsed all the books in the emperor's study, the so-called "crippled minister", he thought about it, something in the depths of his memory was hooked, so that his eyes were suddenly startled, "Is there really such a thing?"
The Shadow bowed slightly.
"Then you ......" Ge Xuan swept over his body, "How can I see it?" Ge Xuan remembered that the crippled minister was a wisp of soul that only the emperor could see.
"What the prime minister saw was a phantom of my true qi condensed. Jueying said faintly with his eyes lowered.
Ge Xuan's heart was shocked, "Isn't that a great loss to you?"
"Yes. Therefore, please tell me how to deal with the uninjured ministers. We are all for the emperor and the northern country, so the prime minister will not want to cause the northern kingdom to fall into war and chaos because of one person, right?" Jueying looked at Ge Xuan sincerely, "The emperor is confused, but we as courtiers can't help but see clearly. ”
"But," Ge Xuan looked embarrassed, "after all, that's the emperor's only unharmed minister......
Jueying's heart trembled, and he poked the pain again.
Ge Xuan seemed to be surprised by something, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, "Shadow ......"
"He's not harmless anymore. Jueying suddenly raised his eyes and said firmly.
