CHAPTER XXXIV

"Ruo'er!"

A soft voice sounded in my ears, and then a hand pulled me hard, and I landed in a warm embrace. The hands held me in my arms so hard that I couldn't move.

"Ruo'er, trust me! Hurry back! This is a different voice from Hao Xi, more calm and mellow.

I struggled to look up from his arms, and the rain was so heavy that it ran down his hair, and I could only see his bright eyes and the little me in them.

"Ruo'er, be obedient, I won't let you marry someone else! No one! His voice was so calm that I just felt like it was suddenly gone......

He kept wiping away tears for me and kept whispering in my ear as if I were just a child.

"Ruo'er, hurry up and go back, if you keep making trouble, the matter will be even more irreparable! Father is by no means a person who ignores things and ignores family affection, you go back first, everything will turn around! ”

I looked at him and suddenly felt that fate really treated me well, and others avoided me at such a time, but they chose to stay by my side.

"Take care of your young lady, don't let her come over again!" He whispered to Huaibi and leaned me into her arms, and then smiled at me: "Wait for me to ......"

I watched quietly as he turned away, quietly watching the dim lights of the Taihe Temple, where there was silence, but I didn't believe that he couldn't see what was happening outside......

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness is still kneeling outside the Taihe Palace, in this cold day, Your Highness is still injured, in case you ......" Wu Yunduo carefully waited beside Ling Zeyun, and immediately comforted when he saw the opportunity.

The tip of the pen paused unconsciously, the ink immediately smeared, he froze for a moment, and finally raised his head, the drizzle hit the window lattice and made a "rustling" sound, how could he not know how cold it was outside, and he thought of the wound on his son's forehead, even if the imperial doctor had just gone to bandage it, but in such a big cold rain, what effect could the bandaging be......

"Alas!" He let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt a lot of helplessness.

"Does the emperor really want Miss Su to kiss?" Wu Yunduo has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, how could he not know the emperor's intentions, but he ......

"How could I let Su Ruo go to get married, not to mention that she hasn't reached the end yet, even if she is old, I won't let her go for the sake of Qingning, it's just that Hao Xi made such a fuss in the Zhengyuan Hall that day, and there are many people in the court who are talking about it, today's trouble, if it is up to him, there will inevitably be a lot of gossip in the future!" He shook his head helplessly, and held the teacup next to him: "He's just a prince, poor Su Ruo's daughter's family, it's about to be over, if he has a bad reputation, who would dare to marry this good family in Beijing!" How can the spirit of Qingning in heaven rest in peace! ”

"The emperor is so well-intentioned, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness is still young and can't understand it." As he spoke, he glanced out the window and continued to say cautiously: "However, after kneeling for so long, I think Your Highness has figured it out, Your Highness is young and has an impulsive personality, but he values friendship the most, isn't this what the emperor values him the most?" If you ignore Miss Su, it's not him! For such a long time, the punishment is enough, and I hope that the emperor will dissipate his anger and allow His Highness to go back to recuperate. ”

"Humph!" Ling Zeyun held the cup tightly, but did not put it down, and said, "Can he really figure it out?" I don't think so! ”

"The Emperor's ......"

However, before Wu Yunduo could speak again, he heard a voice from outside the door.

The curtain of the door was gently opened by the palace maid who accompanied him, and outside the door was a kneeling eunuch.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing asks to see you!"

Ling Zeyun was stunned for a moment, turned to Wu Yunduo, and muttered to himself in confusion: "Hao Qian? What did he come to do? ”

Wu Yunduo looked confused, but he didn't dare to say anything, and said, "Isn't there something urgent in the court?" ”

Ling Zeyun hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Call him in!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yunduo immediately retreated.

"The son of the emperor greets his father!"

Ling Haoqian lifted the door curtain, slowly walked in front of Ling Zeyun, and knelt down steadily.

"Excuse me!" Ling Zeyun waved his hand slightly.

"Thank you, Father!" Ling Haoqian got up gently, and the moon-white robe floated across the delicate rosewood floor, and the silky fabric caused a slight ripple.

"Father, the son heard that the son of Xingyao Prince Mu Yan asked to marry Miss Su, and he came to ask his father for his will, Miss Su is a close friend of the son, she is still young, Xingyao is here to go to thousands of mountains and rivers, leaving her hometown, the customs are different, I am afraid that the customs are not satisfied, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled."

"You're also here to intercede for Su Ruo?" The original anger suddenly resurfaced, Ling Zeyun looked at his son deeply, in his heart, this son has been different since he was a child, he doesn't care about political affairs, he only seeks military exploits, as if he is independent of the court, and never cares about worldly things, but he didn't expect that he would be messed up for a Su Ruo.

"Yes!" How could Ling Haoqian not perceive his father's anger, however, he didn't choose to avoid it, just nodded silently.

"Do you know that this is a diplomatic relationship between the two countries, not a personal relationship!" Ling Zeyun looked at Ling Haoqian coldly and said.

"The son knows it, and he hopes that his father will be fulfilled." Ling Haoqian lifted his robe, knelt in front of him again, and spoke calmly.

"Do you know why Hao Xi is kneeling outside?"

"Erchen knows!"

"Then you still dare to come?!" Ling Zeyun pursed the corners of his lips tightly and spoke coldly.

"For Su Ruo, Erchen has no regrets!" Ling Haoqian straightened his back and looked straight at his father, without evasion.

"What a no-complaint, no regrets!" Ling Zeyun grabbed the teacup and threw it on the ground: "You brothers are all lovers!" Now that the wings are stiff, they dare to come and force me! ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" The teacup smashed on him impartially, and he frowned slightly, but he didn't dodge.

The rain became heavier and heavier, as if a crack had been opened, pouring down, Ling Haoqian knelt silently in the rain, beside him, Ling Haoxi tilted his head slightly, glanced at the second brother who also had blue lips, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word in the end......

"The Emperor's ......"

Wu Yunduo looked out the window again, and stopped talking......

It's almost the fourth watch, I don't know why, an hour ago, the fifth highness also came, stood in front of the gate of the Taihe Hall for a while, but didn't come in after all, just knelt silently beside the brothers, then the fourth highness, and finally, His Royal Highness Ruiwang. Ling Zeyun's five sons seemed to have reached some kind of consensus on this matter, and they knelt together in the cold wind and rain......

"The Emperor's ......"

"What the hell is wrong with these sons?" I don't know how long after being silent, Ling Zeyun looked at Wu Yunduo slightly, not knowing whether to ask him or himself.

"Miss Su has grown up in the palace since she was a child, studying with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness, and she is like a brother, not to mention the friendship of brother and sister with Her Third Highness. He hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "If these highnesses don't come, it won't be like what you teach them every day. ”

Ling Zeyun scolded with a smile: "You old thing will excuse them!" ”

Wu Yunduo knew at a glance that Ling Zeyun's anger had subsided, he took a few steps forward, bent down and said with a smile: "These highnesses are all righteous people, how can they die and not save them for the sake of a little resistance, not to mention that the emperor is wise, he teaches them a lot every day, and knows what to do and when not to act!" ”

"Humph!" Ling Zeyun snorted coldly: "They value love and righteousness, but they don't have long brains!" ”

"The emperor has his own decision in his heart about this matter, but several highnesses are young and don't know what the past is, so naturally they can't guess what the emperor thinks." He paused slightly, and continued: "If you analyze it according to common sense, my Tianyu and Xingyao have been friends for generations, and they have continued to be friendly for many years, since Princess Lorraine, there is no marriage between this generation of princes, and it is time!" Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that these highnesses have such concerns! ”

Ling Zeyun pondered for a long time before nodding silently and saying, "What you said makes a lot of sense!" But why did King Rui and King Jing also come to intercede? ”

"This ...... The minion is not clear, but the slave privately guessed, perhaps because His Royal Highness King Jing admired Miss Su's talent, as for His Royal Highness King Rui, it should be a deep relationship with His Royal Highness King Jing, and when he saw His Royal Highness King Jing being punished, he naturally accompanied him. ”

Ling Zeyun hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "You say, is there a ...... between Su Ruo and Hao Xi?"

"The servant heard that before the marriage of the Third Highness, the queen asked Miss Su what she meant, and Miss Su was forceful, thinking that Miss Su only has brother and sister feelings for the Third Highness, and has no other meaning." He hesitated a little and continued: "Just now, His Royal Highness was injured, Miss Su ran over, and wanted to take the initiative to ask for marriage, but was stopped by His Royal Highness King Jing, and the slave thought privately, His Royal Highness the Third Highness couldn't stop him back no matter what, His Royal Highness King Jing persuaded him in a few words, and it shouldn't be wishful thinking between the two......

Ling Zeyun was thoughtful, and finally spoke after a moment: "Why Hao Qian?" Whoever it is, why is it just Hao Qian! ”

Wu Yunduo didn't say much, stood aside silently, serving Ling Zeyun for many years, how could he not understand his intentions, Mu Qingning accompanied Su Jingxi to die on the battlefield that day, he didn't want her daughter to repeat her mistakes no matter what......
