Chapter 428: Under the Ruler

The girl in her arms was covered with a layer of blood all over her body, and her consciousness finally sank into a slumber until now, but her body was still warm, and she slowly rose and fell with her breathing......

Qiu Bai pinched her wrist for the first time to check her pulse, and only after repeatedly confirming that she was only exhausted and did not suffer any fatal injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could withdraw his hand, a white light suddenly appeared in front of him.

The expressions of the others present did not change.

So only he could clearly see that the long transparent clouds and smoke that came out of her body were hidden in the rain and mist, spinning and going straight up into the sky.

The morning sun dipped in bright gold and ushered in the whole dawn.

Before the bright gold of Xirui, together with the wind and rain, gradually faded away, an old and low air sound came from afar.

"Piano Master, don't come unharmed......"

Qiubai was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly tightened. He subconsciously looked up at the sky, but there was only the cloud that had completely dissipated......

*

In early autumn, Daqi had another state capital.

Linlang can also be regarded as a more intuitive appreciation of the eldest princess's ability.

Some people seem to have been born to interpret a certain word, and Murong Lingyao is a genius in this art of war.

In the past, he led the army for many years and has rich experience. Innate plus acquired, the double buffs are stacked.

So it was not the prince who followed the emperor to fight in all directions, but this powerful princess. Probably it is precisely this that although she is a woman, she will still be feared like those princes and need to go to the fiefdom......

At the same time, the Imperial City.

There was silence in front of Shoukang Palace, and the concubines and imperial doctors knelt on the ground. All of them bowed their heads and looked solemn, and they didn't even dare to come out.

In the middle room, Ji Huirong was lying on the soft couch, and an oil lamp the size of a bean was burning on the desk, which was very faint and swaying.

She has not been an astute person in her life, her adoptive parents loved her when she was young, and her biological parents were indebted. After entering the palace, Concubine Cen took care of her, and the first emperor was also very accommodating to her.

But now that his life has come to an end, there is a kind of detached peace and kindness, but his eyes are always staring at the door.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is coming soon." After many years of changes, it was still Shen Lanyi who sat in front of her.

"Gui."

The Queen Mother raised her hand weakly, and Mama Gui, who had always been steady next to her, but was silently wiping her tears at the moment, immediately understood, and immediately stepped forward with a small box covered with brocade.

The box is exquisite, with a gold phoenix flying and singing in the morning sun. Just looking at it like this, it is already precious and majestic, and you can imagine what kind of rare things are in the box.

When Aunt Gui knelt down and respectfully presented the things, Shen Lanyi was slightly stunned.

"The Queen Mother?"

"This was supposed to be yours, but it's too late now......" Ji Huirong personally handed the phoenix seal into her hand, and her fingertips trembled a little weakly.

"Good boy, the mourning family knows that Shen'er is sorry for you, but Shen'er ...... Shen'er is the emperor, from the outside, it seems that what the emperor says is nothing, but the emperor can't think about anything......"

When Ji Huirong said this, his eyes couldn't help but be a little foggy.

This is what the first emperor told her about at the beginning, the first emperor drank very well and rarely got drunk. But on the day General He died in battle, he was so drunk that he cried, and the cat went to sleep on the table in her palace for the night......

"The mourning family knows that no matter how much they say, this injury is an injury. Therefore, the mourning family does not dare to ask you to forgive Shen'er, but this phoenix seal hopes that you can accept it...... Whether it is a debt or a compensation, it is for Chen'er, Lan Yi continues to move forward. ”

Shen Lanyi didn't say anything, just took the presentation plate with both hands, and solemnly bowed to the Queen Mother, which was the first time she saw Ji Huirong after she entered the Prince's Mansion.

……

When Murong Linshen came, his footsteps paused as if he was evasive outside the palace, as if he didn't push open the door, he didn't have to face anything.

But in the end, he still walked in, when he entered the door, Shen Lanyi was holding the phoenix seal and withdrawing, only bent his knees halfway through, and the two continued to pass by in a hurry.

Ji Huirong looked at it silently, and only sighed lightly.

"Even the queen mother...... Are you going to leave your sons now? ”

The emperor's expression still did not fluctuate or lose his temper much, and the mask that seemed to be glued to his face for many years had been integrated into his flesh and blood.

It's just that the words tremble with an imperceptible lightness, and it is rare to show a weak state.

"Shen'er ......"

Ji Huirong stretched out his hand and patted him tightly holding his hand, his eyes were soft, "Do you remember what your father said?" ”

"A monarch is destined to be lonely."

Murong Lin answered in a deep and deep tone, his tone was mocking but firm, "The dragon chair can only sit for one person, so the way of the emperor is destined to be only walked by Erchen to the end, and no one will accompany him." ”

When he chose to take over Daqi, his father repeatedly warned and asked if he really thought about it and carried the people on his back.

"People have a lifespan, this is the common way. But the queen mother is the most relieved to be you...... Si'er is open-minded, and he has friends and Linlang, but you are different. ”

Ji Huirong looked at him, as if through the court clothes and crown that symbolized the identity of the emperor, he could discern the soul that still belonged to his son.

"Since you became the prince and the emperor, you have become more and more strange, and the less you are like yourself. Sometimes even the queen mother can't tell the difference...... Are you really happy or falsely happy...... Shen'er, the emperor's crown is too heavy. ”

She struggled to prop up her body a little, gently brushed away the hanging beads on Murong Linshen's face, and finally clearly revealed that familiar face.

"The queen mother is afraid that after the queen mother leaves, you will really be alone. Though your father told you that no one should be fully believed. But Shen'er, Si'er is your sibling...... His heart is always clean......"

The Queen Mother is half confessing and half consoling.

"So, the queen mother hopes that if you are unhappy in the future, you don't have to say anything, even if it's just to find Si'er to drink tea......"

"The Queen Mother."

Murong Lin bowed her head gently, so that she could see herself clearly, and said word by word, "Erchen has never doubted the fourth emperor brother. ”

Even if you can't believe it all, you definitely don't doubt it.

There is a difference in age between him and Qiubai, after the death of Concubine Cen, when Qiubai was succeeded to the knees of the Queen Mother, he was already the crown prince, and he was running around one after another in one bloodless battle after another.

At that time, although the little boy with a low sense of existence was not familiar with him, he would always silently help him to press the rice paper full of black characters under the ruler......

In this way, I want to try to repay the kindness.

"That's good, that's good......"

As if it was an important matter, the Queen Mother's eyes gradually faded, but she turned her head to look outside the palace gate, "Si'er...... Haven't come back yet? ”

Murong Linshen half-knelt on the side of the couch, Meiyu was rarely tired and hurt, and replied in a low voice, "Si'er, he has already entered Beijing, and he will be here soon, the queen mother, wait, let's accompany my son-in-law more......"
