Xiao Mu raised his eyes slightly and did not speak.

"I'm asking you! Have I wronged you? The moment he met those eyes, the emperor who was unable to lean on the dragon couch stiffened, and his eyes were red from too wide an eye: "Why don't you answer me?" …… Have you been blaming me all the time? ”

Xiao Mu quietly looked at the terminally ill and delirious person.

After a while, he said calmly: "In the case of King Hedong, the truth has been clarified, the real culprit has been punished, and His Majesty has returned his innocence, so how can we talk about the word wronged." ”

The prince looked at the young man who had reacted too calmly.

"Hedong Wang......" The emperor's eyes changed in confusion for a moment, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and muttered, "You mean...... Li Wen? ”

Jiang Zhengfu closed his eyes when he lowered his eyes.

The waiter on the side lowered his head and sighed helplessly in his heart.

Li Wen is the late old king of Hedong, and what Xiao Jie's envoy said was clearly his son Li Jin...... The state of a saint is no longer just a word of confusion that can be summed up.

The emperor muttered, "Li Wen is the younger brother of my mother's compatriot...... I know that he has always been at odds with you, and his son Li Jin has also been with your only son since he was a child, and he doesn't look at you right......"

Hearing the word "respect" coming out of the emperor's mouth, Xiao Mu's eyes trembled slightly almost imperceptibly.

"But every time Li Wen embarrasses you, I resolve it!" Because of his excitement, the emperor's voice gradually rose from a low mutter: "I still remember that once Jing Zhi injured Li Jin, it was I who suppressed this matter and protected Jing Zhi, so I didn't make a big fuss!" I've always been on your side, even treating you better than my blood siblings! ”

"Yes, I am still the prince, and when the position of the prince is not stable, you are by my side to protect me...... When Concubine Gao designed the assassination, you blocked the poisonous arrow for me. When I first ascended the throne, Yongyang unloaded his armor and got married, and it was still you who fought abroad to sweep away the alien races for me and stabilize the hearts of the people...... I have never denied all this! However, in all fairness, I am sincere to you and owe you ...... It's already paid off! ”

As the emperor spoke, turbid tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, he opened his dry mouth, trembled in pain and raised his finger to Xiao Mu-

"It's you, on the other hand, who have betrayed my trust...... It was you who betrayed me first, and I had to kill you! ”

"If you were really wronged, I clearly left you three days after you entered the prison, but why did you never mention that you wanted to see me during those three days? Why don't you explain it to me? ”

"Because your heart is weak...... You don't even dare to see me! ”

Xiao Mu lowered his gaze indifferently.

Is it because the man has a weak heart?

Or is that man clearly aware that there is no room for turning around, no amount of so-called explanations will be in vain, and no amount of truth can be defeated—some people want to die, and the king wants to die.

"When you were alive, you refused to explain half a sentence to me...... You're dead, and you've been in my dreams all these years, and you've never said a word to me! ”

The emperor's eyes were extremely red, and his gaze was like a knife, nailed to Xiao Mu's face: "I must answer you today, I want you to answer in person!" ”

Xiao Mu: "Your Majesty has recognized the wrong person." ”

"No...... I won't admit my mistake! Even if you turn to ashes, I will recognize you! ”

"Xiao Jie's envoy-" The prince looked at Xiao Mu, with a reminder and apology in his eyes.

Xiao Mu understood and raised his hand to salute: "The minister will retire." ”

"Hugh away!"

The emperor straightened up suddenly, and said sharply: "Shi Minhui...... I won't let you go! ”

Seeing the tall and straight figure slowly retreating, he almost lost control and dragged his weak body to struggle to catch up, because of the rapid movement, his body was uncontrollable, and he fell off the dragon couch when he lost his balance.

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

Xiao Mu stopped and looked over.

The crown prince, Jiang Zhengfu and others had already surrounded him, and the emperor's face was pale and his eyes widened, and his whole body was convulsed.

Jiang Zhengfu said solemnly: "Quickly pass on the medical officer!" ”

The emperor is like this now, the medical officer has not left the dormitory, waiting in the side hall at any time, and when he heard the summons, he quickly rushed into the inner hall with the medicine box.

After some nervous and frightening chaos, the medical officer at the head of the group had a face as pale: "Fortunately, the treatment was timely...... Your Majesty's life is safe. ”

The crown prince looked at the emperor who was struggling with wide eyes on the dragon couch, trying to sit up but couldn't do so, and even half of the corners of his mouth were crooked and salivating: "Father, the emperor, he ......"

"Your Majesty's liver is moving inside...... It is a stroke. The medical officer knelt down and replied in a trembling voice.

The prince's eyes were shocked.

Jiang Zhengfu immediately asked, "Can it be cured?" ”

"Whoever has suffered a stroke has a sudden onset...... It can only be slowed down by acupuncture...... However, Your Majesty's dragon body is too weak now, and it may not be possible to heal one day. The medical officer was relatively tactful.

Xiao Mu looked at the person on the dragon couch who was almost unable to move, and still saw that the other party's sunken eyes locked himself through everyone.

"Use all available methods to rule each other as best you can." The crown prince explained in a heavy tone: "From today onwards, you will take turns to serve your father and the emperor, so as not to make another ......."

Several medical officers said "yes" in unison.

After arranging everything, the prince left the place with heavy steps.

"My father had a stroke...... According to the teacher and Xiao Jie's meeting, how should he speak to the outside world? Out of the emperor's bedroom, the crown prince stopped, turned to the two behind him and asked.

Jiang Zhengfu didn't hurry to speak, and raised his eyes slightly to look at Xiao Mu.

"The minister thinks that it is not appropriate to be in a hurry to make it clear to the outside world." Xiao Mu said: "Now that the princes and envoys of other countries are in Beijing, and there is a war in the south, if the news of His Majesty's stroke spreads at this time, there will be many drawbacks." ”

The prince nodded thoughtfully and looked at Jiang Zhengfu: "I don't know what the teacher thinks?" ”

Although he and this teacher have had many political differences in recent years, they should and need to take into account the opinions of the other party in such external matters.

Jiang Zhengfu looked at Xiao Mu: "What the minister sees is similar to Xiao Jie's envoy." ”

As the other party said, now the envoys and princes of various countries are gathered in Beijing...... Among the princes, this person is the most threatening.

The other party was the first to say this at this time, which was a little unexpected to him.

But one sentence doesn't mean anything.

There are many people in this world who are good at disguise and scheming.

Jiang Zhengfu didn't want to let go of his guard, but the chaotic words of Emperor Fang Cai sounded in his mind-

Subsequently, what flashed in my mind was the appearance of Gu Changwu, the real murderer of the assassination of the King of Hedong and the old department of the Shi Family's army, when he committed suicide in the prison of Dali Temple that day.

Is it all a coincidence?

Jiang Zhengfu asked in a voice in his heart.

The same question also arose in the prince's heart.

"I'm wondering, although my father is increasingly unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, why...... Just recognized Xiao Jie's envoy as Shu Guogong? ”

In the middle of the night, the prince, who had finished handling everything, was lying on the bed resting, and his voice was low.

The crown princess who was sleeping with him on his side said softly: "Xu is envoy Xiao Jie, like Shu Guogong, are both military generals, and they are both people who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, so there must be some similarities in momentum...... In addition, both of them were jealous of their fathers...... Under the overlap, the father gave birth to such an illusion. ”

The prince was silent for a moment and then said, "Maybe so. ”

"Your Highness...... But do you remember the old things again? The crown princess leaned sideways and gently leaned on her husband's shoulder.

The prince did not answer, but only hugged her, falling into a long silence.

……

Although the news of the emperor's stroke paralysis was sealed in the dormitory, and the wind and grass were not noticed outside, Heng Yu still quickly learned about it.

After leaving the palace on this day, she and Xiao Mu made an appointment to meet again in Yanchun Tower-

Compared with the news that the emperor had a stroke, which was not good or bad, her attention was more focused on the matter: "You mean...... In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Jiang Zhengfu, the saint recognized you as Uncle Shi? ”

Xiao Mu nodded.

Hengyu was a little uneasy: "Then will the two of them be suspicious?" ”

Although the emperor is confused and crazy, and the fool also knows that Xiao Muju cannot be Shi Minhui, but the crown prince and Jiang Zhengfu are both careful and observant people, so it is really hard to say whether they will be suspicious because of this.

"I guess so." Xiao Mu said: "Although I may not be able to guess the 'Shi Jingzhi' for a while, I will think about it more." ”

"Once you have suspicions, you will pay more attention to your words and deeds...... Heng Yu Zhengse said: "You have known His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since childhood, he must know a lot about you, and Jiang Zhengfu has watched you grow up...... Until the whole truth is known, you must be careful. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"By the way, what is the situation in the south, is it controllable?"

The current situation affects the whole body, and Hengyu knows this well.

Xiao Mu also had an impact on this, and dissected it little by little and said to her.

The two had a long conversation in the room on the second floor, and Gu Tingnan, who was guarding outside, leaned against the fence, admiring the beautiful flower girl dancing with the sound of the pipa in the hall downstairs.

"Presumably this is what Ah Heng said, the flying dance from Tianzhu, right?" She was full of interest and urged the people on the side to look at it together: "Look at it quickly, it's really like a painting!" ”

Wang Jingyong was stunned and did not squint.

"The lady also looks like the person in the painting...... Why don't you come with me to my room for a drink? A drunken man staggered slightly towards Gu Tingnan.

Gu Tingnan leaned against the fence and turned around, moving sensitively to dodge, and when he was about to speak, the man couldn't help but laugh and pounced.

However, this time, instead of throwing the outstretched hand into the air, someone grabbed the wrist.

The pain from his wrist made the man suddenly sober up a little, and he looked at the expressionless young face with a nervous face, but it was obviously not easy to provoke: "You, what are you doing?" ”

Wang Jingyong said coldly: "If you don't want your eyes, you can dig them out, she is not a person in the building, take away your dirty hands-"

"Yes...... It's clumsy in the lower eye. ”

As soon as the man's hand was released, he made a lot of reparations and quickly left.

"Don't come here in the future."

Hearing this, Gu Tingnan looked at the person with a rather stinky face, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, anyway, every time I come, you are there." ”

Wang Jingyong's face changed several times: "...... I'm not your bodyguard! ”

"I can't afford to hire such a majestic guard."

Wang Jingyong squinted at the person who made fun of him, only to see the woman leaning on the fence with her hands casually, looking at him with a smile, and the streamers fell on her, and against the maple red skirt, her complexion became fairer, her jade neck was like fat, and the whole person seemed to be glowing.

The sound of the pipa downstairs suddenly tightened, and the sound smashed people's hearts.

Wang Jingyong raised his hand and untied his cloak and threw it at her.

Gu Tingnan caught it, hugged him in front of him and looked at him.

"Put it on...... It's not eye-catching. His voice was a little stiff, and he didn't look at her anymore.

Since this sentence, Vice General Wang has never spoken again.

It wasn't until his own general came out that he followed him out of Yanchun Tower, and the wind of late spring blew and the coolness hit his body.

Vice Admiral Wang snapped back to his senses - how did he give the cloak to the man surnamed Gu?

And the other party didn't mention that he would return it to him!

Looking back at the place where the fireworks were, I couldn't help frowning - this ghost place is a place where lights are hung, music and dances are played, rouge and wine are smoking, and when you are in it, your brain is messed up!

Sure enough, it is the rumored place where the soul eats away and eats people without spitting out bones!

……

Two days later, the Beijing division fell in a drizzle.

Jiang Zhengfu, who said that he was ill and did not go to Zhongshu Province, was recuperating at home by a servant holding an umbrella and braved the drizzle to come to Jiang Xuexi's hospital.

The servant stopped outside the courtyard, Jiang Zhengfu took the umbrella, walked slowly into the courtyard, and heard the sound of chuckling from the corridor.

When I looked up, I saw a pair of figures standing under the porch, and a woman with a cloak and an overly weak posture was stretching her hand out of the porch to catch the rain.

Seeing her with a smile on her face, a faint smile rarely appeared on Jiang Zhengfu's cold face.

He stood still for a few moments, until Yan Ming's gaze met his eyes.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, but there was no confrontation in their eyes.

"Father!"

Jiang Xuexi followed Yan Ming's line of sight and couldn't help but smile.

Following this call, Jiang Zhengfu lowered his eyes and walked over with a kind face.

After Yan Ming raised his hand to salute, he temporarily retreated elsewhere, leaving the corridor to the father and daughter.

"Recently, it has been warm and cold, and my father has to take care of his own body." Jiang Xuexi said with a smile: "My daughter let the kitchen boil medicinal food, which is a recipe prescribed by Rong Ji for you." ”

Jiang Zhengfu nodded with a smile, raised his hand and stroked his daughter's bun: "Xi'er has been in good spirits recently. ”

"Yes." Jiang Xuexi looked at him and said softly, "Daddy, thank you." ”

Jiang Zhengfu's big hand stroking his daughter's bun trembled slightly, forcibly suppressed the sourness in his eyes, and asked softly: "This rain won't be too big, after the rain stops, can Xi'er want to go out of the house for a walk?" ”

Jiang Xuexi nodded with a smile: "My daughter still wants to go to Zhuangzi outside the city, I was in a hurry to come back last time, and I couldn't bring some things back." ”

"Okay." Jiang Zhengfu smiled and nodded: "Then let's go...... Go today, return tomorrow, don't delay the church the day after tomorrow. ”

As he spoke, he looked in the direction where Yan Ming had left, and said, "Let him ...... Let Rong Ji accompany you. ”

Jiang Xuexi responded, gently grabbed one of her father's arms, leaned on his side, and said seriously: "Daddy, my daughter didn't know if she had told you before...... You're the best daddy in the world. ”

Jiang Zhengfu gently patted his daughter's thin back, and his movements were gentle and loving.

"Our former children are also the best old children in the world."

The wind passes, the clouds disperse, and the rain rests.
