After sending off Mrs. Shao, Second Master Cui sat in place for a long, long time, and I don't know how long it took before he stood up and walked to the corridor, looking at the trees outside that had gradually sprouted buds and smiled slowly.

It's been so long.

He exhaled deeply, and rarely went to the Zhou Palace's mansion to meet Princess Zhou.

Hearing that it was said that the second master Cui was coming, Princess Zhou herself was a little shocked, and couldn't help but ask her husband: "The prince is not wrong, right?" Second brother, he's coming? ”

Since the accident at home, Princess Zhou has gone away with Second Master Cui because she doesn't like the philistine and sharpness of Second Mrs. Cui, and she has always remembered that Second Mrs. Cui's mother's family was not saved when she saw death.

It was also the second master Cui who was stubborn, and he was afraid that the second lady Cui would go to Princess Zhou and King Zhou to do things in the name of the Cui family, so she took the initiative to distance herself from the Zhou Palace.

Princess Zhou has not thought of a way, but after so many years, little has been achieved, and the relationship between the two sides has not only not gone further, but has become more estranged.

Second Master Cui took the initiative to come to her, it was the first time in so many years, and she was really a little curious.

King Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's true!" People finally come over, you go and ask. ”

After speaking, he was still a little uneasy, and coughed and advised: "He is different from his brother-in-law, he has a withdrawn temperament, which is inevitable, it has been really difficult for him all these years, and he is willing to take the initiative to get close, you don't have to worry about anything else, anyway, after a while, Minglou will get married, and it is inevitable to contact the Cui family, you can talk to him well." ”

King Zhou specially told him so, that is his brother, where does Princess Zhou not remember? When even a little choked up with disgust: "Look at what the prince said, can I not feel sorry for my second brother?" I know it all. ”

When the brother and sister met, they didn't hug their heads and cry as they imagined, but they were speechless for a while.

It was Princess Zhou who blushed her eyes first and called out to the second brother softly.

Second Master Cui tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, nodded, and wanted to say something pleasant, but he couldn't.

He paused for a moment before asking softly, "It's been good lately, haven't you?" ”

In fact, of course, the second master Cui is concerned about the Zhou Palace, and he also knows that King Lu has planted a big heel this time, compared to it, the King of Zhou, who is safe and guarded, is particularly cute, so now Emperor Yongchang asked him to replace himself to worship his ancestors and go to Taimiao to worship his ancestors.

With such good signs, the courtiers naturally knew what to do.

If King Zhou is good, Princess Zhou will naturally not be bad, after all, everyone knows that King Zhou is very fond of the princess.

Seeing Princess Zhou nodding her head with difficulty, Second Master Cui pursed his lips: "Okay, if you are doing well, I will be relieved." ”

He is obviously not very old, only three years older than King Zhou, but he looks more than ten years older than King Zhou, if you don't know, you have to think that he is the eldest brother of the Cui family.

Seeing his restrained and taciturn appearance, Princess Zhou finally couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell with a snap: "Second brother! It's been so many years, the eldest brother has been dead for so many years, and the sister-in-law has been dead for so many years, you"

She couldn't say any more for a moment.

Second Master Cui's face was also a little ugly.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Yes, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have been dead for so many years." ”

As he spoke, his hands together with some uneasiness, his fists clenched.

The room was quiet, and Princess Zhou finally couldn't help crying: "Second brother! How long are you going to torture yourself? It's not your fault that your second sister-in-law died! What could you have done at that time? In order to save the eldest brother and sister-in-law, in order to save the prince, and in order to save the people in the war, you will propose to Lu Ziqian to marry the daughter of the transfer envoy, and you are also forced! We all understand, why don't you understand?! ”

She really couldn't control it.

Over the years, the second master Cui has not been close to the clan, and he has gone far away from her.

Everyone thought she was cold to Second Master Cui.

But in fact, it was Second Master Cui himself who was punishing himself.

Princess Zhou felt uncomfortable every time she thought of her brother having worked so hard and carrying such a big psychological burden.

She only has two older brothers.

The eldest brother is dead, and she is left with only the second brother.

But the second brother has lived like a walking dead for so many years.

A few years ago, it was still a little lively, but it may still be supported by one breath.

But after Tao Yuan and Lu Ziqian colluded to frame Master Cui and the crown prince was exposed, he finally couldn't hold on.

Second Mrs. Cui is his enemy, not his benefactor at all.

But he gave up his wife in order to marry this enemy.

Of course, he knew these big truths, and of course he knew that he really wanted to save his brother and the people, but those pains were also real.

When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he often dreamed of his wife and dreamed that she was crying in the middle of the night.

I dreamed that she was crying and asked herself, have you ever thought about her with the child.

Second Master Cui closed his eyes painfully: "Little sister, I can't help it, as soon as I close my eyes, I think of her, she was already six months pregnant, you were a mother, the nurse said, if she is born, the child will already be able to live. For so many years, I thought I would marry that slut for the sake of the interests of my family and country, but what was the result?! As a result, I was just an insignificant person, and people thought I was a fool and just played tricks on me! But I, I gave up on Ran'er and the child in my belly! I'm damned! I'm damned! ”

He cried like a child.

Princess Zhou never thought that the manifestation of pain would be so concrete, and when she saw the wrinkles on Er Master Cui's face, she was shocked that it was not only wrinkles.

The hair on Er Cui's head has turned gray by half.

It can be seen what kind of suffering and pain he has suffered over the years.

Princess Zhou couldn't help crying, and rushed over and grabbed his hand: "Second brother, second brother!" I know that you are bitter in your heart, and the second sister-in-law also knows, and the second sister-in-law will also understand you! For so many years, you have never forgotten her for a day, never! The second sister-in-law will definitely forgive you! ”

was so tired, Second Master Cui exhaled deeply, and touched Princess Zhou's hair a little heavily: "I know, I know, don't be sad." The eldest brother has loved you the most since he was a child, and your two sisters-in-law also love you the most, you have to take care of yourself, do you know? ”

He hadn't expressed this for so many years, but now he finally came to King Zhou's mansion, but when he said such a thing, Princess Zhou didn't feel happy, she only felt uneasy and ominous in her heart, and couldn't help but look at him: "Second brother, what do you want to say?" You, don't be confused. (End of chapter)
