Chu Hanzhang stared at the knife in his hand, stunned for a long time, the knife light flashed, the moonlight sprinkled on the knife surface, she took the knife tremblingly, holding the sharp blade, looking up at each other.

"Zhang'er, kill me, don't you hate me, hate me? Pick up the knife in your hand, stab me, kill me! His bloodshot eyes swelled, and he looked at her with red eyes, as if there were tears in his eyes.

"Zhang'er—"

"Boom!" The blade sank into the ribs, Yuan Ke touched the wound, and the bloody hand put on her shoulder. "Zhang'er, killing people is to poke them in the heart."

Chu Hanzhang let go of the handle of the knife, "Three inches under the ribs is less than fatal, I want you to die of blood, I want to use your blood to pay tribute to my eldest brother and second brother!" ”

"Heh-" Thin lips exhaled, Yuan Ke dragged his heavy body, step by step towards her, arms open, hugging her into his arms, he used so much force that she didn't give her room to resist, his snort was close to his right ear, he said, "Dezhang'er is disgusted, I, life is better than death!" Zhang'er, Zhang... Zhang'er—"

Hit his head on his shoulders and neck, just in time for the winter wind, Chu Hanzhang helped him to fall to the ground, looking up at the moon, his eyes were empty.

"Ahh

Zhou Yiqing and Shang Lu combined to use spiritual power against them, but it was useless.

Zhou Yiqing's thin eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Shang Lu's eyes were also full of anxiety.

"Kill me!" Chu Hanzhang, who woke up from the dream, said to Zhou Yiqing and Shang Lu, "Kill me, you can also save Yuan Suyi." ”

Zhou Yiqing looked at her, pondered for a long time, and the frightened Shang Lu thought that she really planned to kill her, and asked Zhou Yiqing while casting a spell, "Broken stone, although she is not a human being now, she has not done anything bad, she is not an evil spirit, if you kill her, you will have cause and effect." ”

"No!" Chu Hanzhang, who was tormented by resentful spirits, was bent on death, "I have done bad things.

Back then, after returning to the palace with Emperor Wei Xuan, I killed many of the concubines around him, even the current Empress Dowager Ling, the child she conceived when she was ten years in Xuanwu was also killed by me. I'm guilty, I'm wrong, kill me, kill me, uphold justice, and do the right thing for heaven. Miss Zhou, I beg you, I beg you! ”

Zhou Yiqing was not misled by Chu Hanzhang, his face was calm, and he first said to Shang Lu, "I didn't want to kill her." After that, he said to Chu Hanzhang, "How many mistakes you made in your lifetime should be dealt with by your mortal emperor, I am not a human being, and I am not qualified to convict you."

Since I promised you and would take you into the palace, I would have promised you. Think about your children, meditate, and don't be controlled by demons. ”

Child? Chu Hanzhang's eyes intermittently returned to clarity, "Yes, I still have children, Jinde, Jinde, Jinde!" ”

On the seventeenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Xuanwu, fifteen-year-old Chu Hanzhang still followed Yuan Ke back to the palace, and in the Qiuhe Palace, as Yuan Ke said, the broken swing frame has been repaired, and there are a lot of fine wines from the Western Regions in the wine cellar.

The charcoal fire in the house was red, but she grabbed the cloak on her body and squatted on the ground, shivering with cold.

"Soho!" She shouted to the door.

After a while, a little maid with a raw eye came into the house with a basin of water.

She looked at the unfamiliar face, and then remembered that Su Ho had been married to Song Qi when Yuan Ke was in the south, and Song Qi was his person, and he forced himself to agree to enter the palace with her.

"Who are you?"

"Son of a maid Minghuan, please say hello to the mother." The sound is sweet, with a sweet and greasy taste of fruit. Chu Hanzhang was not disgusted by such a voice, and said with a smile, "Ming Huan? But bright and joyful Minghuan? ”

Ming Huan grinned shyly, "Back to the mother's words, it is these two words, the maid's mother thought when she gave the maid this name when she wanted the maid to be bright and happy for a long time." His Majesty also heard the meaning of the maid's name before he ordered the maidservant to serve the maid. ”

"Your Majesty is really fond of Niangniang!"

Cosset? Chu Hanzhang looked at her and smiled without saying a word.

She played with the rabbit lantern that Soho bought for her from the lantern festival on the eve of the New Year's Day, and asked, "Today, has General Song's wife entered the palace to thank her?" ”

"General Song's wife?" After Ming Huan hesitated for a while, he asked Chu Hanzhang rhetorically, "General Song's wife died of illness after giving birth to General Song's eldest son five years ago!" ”

There were still seven or eight bells hanging from the hem of the rabbit lamp, swaying in her hand, "What Bengong said is not Song Qi's original partner Wen, it is his new wife who married half a month ago, Soho." ”

Ming Huan hesitated, she said, "Niangniang, the maid really hasn't heard of General Song marrying any new lady." ”

"Didn't you?" The bell under the rabbit lamp suddenly broke the line, scattered to the ground in twos and threes, tinkling, Ming Huan hurriedly squatted down, and reached out his fingers to pick up the bells one by one.

She glanced at Chu Hanzhang secretly, although she didn't understand why this queen lady was so different from what she had heard before she came, but she was still bold and comforted her, "The maid doesn't like to inquire about the previous dynasty, maybe the Song general married a wife, but the maid didn't know."

If you really want to know, it is better to ask Your Majesty when He comes. She carefully handed the bell she picked up to Chu Hanzhang in front of her, "Or, ask your majesty's father-in-law Duoxi." ”

"Huh?" She plucked the bell in her hand, "Huh? "Yes.

Ming Huan continued, "If the mother doesn't want to disturb Your Majesty because of this trivial matter, it's okay to ask Father-in-law Duoxi." As the closest person to His Majesty, Father-in-law Taki also had the most contact with the previous dynasty. If you ask him what the servant does not know, it will be clear. ”

"Nope." She handed the bell in her hand to Ming Huan along with the rabbit lamp on the side, "Take it out and throw it away." ”

Ming Huan was holding the wooden stick of the rabbit lamp, she didn't know what to say, the queen mother looked like this lamp very much just now, but why did she suddenly want to throw it there, she didn't understand, she didn't understand.

Chu Hanzhang was stunned, and said lightly, "Take it out and throw it away." ”

"Yes!" Exactly the same command, even if Ming Huan didn't know it, she really listened to it, she picked up the rabbit lamp, turned around and left, "Niangniang!" As she reached the door, she turned suddenly.

Facing Chu Hanzhang's gaze, she asked with a smile, "Niangniang, this rabbit lamp looks so delicate, since Niangniang doesn't want it, can you give it to the maid?" The pear vortex is shallow, when she said this, she was shy and delicate, Chu Hanzhang saw it from afar, as if he saw himself in Guangyuan Building, who coveted the lamp in the building.

Ming Huan was bold and took a step forward, "The servant is a rabbit, can the servant stay behind this lamp?" ”

The time was silent, and the wind outside the house blew through the room, blowing the curtains in all directions, and she put away her obstructed sight, and said, "If you like it, take it." ”

"Son, thank you!" She rejoiced in gratitude.

Chu Hanzhang looked at her back and couldn't hide her joy, and smiled knowingly.

In the evening, Yuan Ke's Luan drove to the Qiuhe Palace, and Chu Hanzhang sat on the swing frame, motionless as if he hadn't heard. Ming Huan listened to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, and then looked at Chu Hanzhang's posture, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

But who knows, when Yuan Ke arrived, instead of blaming her, he followed with a smile on his face, flattering and wanting to sit on the swing with her.

Duoxi, who was guarding the gate of the hall, waved to Ming Huan, Ming Huan looked at Chu Hanzhang and Yuan Ke, and walked over hesitantly.

"Ming Huan greets my father-in-law."

Duoxi smiled kindly and told her, "The queen mother had a serious illness some time ago, and her body and bones are relatively weak. Don't be a little negligent, if the mother has a good one, so that His Majesty knows, he will not let you go. ”

Ming Huan smiled and nodded, sincerely saying that he would definitely take care of Niangniang.

"Father-in-law, why did the mother leave the palace some time ago!" Chu Hanzhang's departure from the palace, Yuan Ke did not deliberately conceal it, and there was a faint intention to deliberately publicize it. Yes, in the palace, there are many people who know that she left the palace, but few people know the truth.

Duoxi glanced at Ming Huan twice, and saw that her eyes were clear, simple and kind, and she really couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so she casually made up, "Specific things, we are slaves or know less, you just need to remember that our Majesty especially loves Niangniang, and what you see is more precious than your eyes, so in the future, any matter related to the queen's mother, you must send it to the Qinzheng Palace and tell Your Majesty." Do you understand? ”

Ming Huan smiled and nodded as if he didn't understand, "Ming Huan knows!" ”

Next to the swing frame, Yuan Ke asked Chu Hanzhang, "The little palace man I sent here today is still serving him wholeheartedly?" ”

Chu Hanzhang said, "Yu slave, he is quite dedicated. However, I love to laugh too much, I don't like it. ”

After Yuan Ke walked to the swing, he gently pushed her with the hemp rope in his hand, "How can you not like it?" She loves to laugh, but I remember that you loved to laugh a lot in the early years. I thought you'd be happy to send her here! ”

Chu Hanzhang pressed his foot against the ground and said coldly, "Since Your Majesty thinks I like her, then I'll try to like her." ”

Yuan Ke squatted down and brushed her upper with his broad palm, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, Zuo is just a slave, and my Zhang'er only needs to like me alone." ”

Chu Hanzhang kicked Yuan Ke's hand away, walked to the stone bench on the side, and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard on the table with his bare hands, "As usual, today, General Song should bring his wife into the palace to thank him, but for some reason, I haven't seen them yet." Does Your Majesty know? ”

Yuan Ke spread out his robe and sat down opposite her, "She won't come." The black son he was holding stopped Chu Hanzhang's white son.

When they met on a narrow road, Chu Hanzhang's Baizi fell into a situation of trapped beasts fighting, forcing her to find another way, "Your Majesty's words, why don't I understand it." Your Majesty, don't forget how I agreed to come back in the first place.

If the weight of this coercion is gone, Your Majesty, don't you worry? "Wai Wei rescued Zhao, and after a few steps, the situation on the chess side was instantly reversed by Chu Hanzhang.

"Worried?" Yuan Ke left a son, "What are you worried about?" ”

Throwing chess into the urn, Yuan Ke smiled and said, "Isn't Zhang Er already back with me?" Zhang Er thought that after entering this palace, he could still run again?

I haven't told you Zhang Er yet, in fact, from beginning to end, I know your plan. ”

Chu Hanzhang pretended to be calm and replied with a smile, "Even if Your Majesty didn't say it, I guessed it." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Ke became interested, "Let's talk about it." How did you guess it! ”

Chu Hanzhang sorted out the chess pieces that could not be completed without discipline, and said, "General Song! ”
