Chapter 150: Brotherhood

"General Lou, please come here" Xiao Dezi led Lou Xiyu and walked towards the side hall of the imperial study, saying so. Copy URL visit: 7777772e766f6474772e636f6d

At this time, Lou Xiyu was no longer as decadent and blood-stained as he was in the prison, Xiao Dezi took him to take a bath in a vacant palace in the palace, changed into clean clothes, and then took him to see Mu Qingjue.

"Father-in-law, I know, the emperor is looking for me this time, what is the so-called matter" Lou Xiyu's pace was not slow, and then asked.

He didn't know what else to say between him and Mu Qingjue after experiencing this incident, the love that grew up together, and the indestructible trust at the beginning, all disappeared in this accident.

It's not that he doesn't have nostalgia, it's that Mu Qingjue didn't cherish it and listened to slander, which led to today's tragedy.

"This minion is not clear, the emperor just ordered the minion to bring the general over. Xiao Dezi said, his attitude was very respectful.

Because of the previous damnation incident, all the people in this palace were in awe of Lou Xiyu, you must know that he is a person blessed by the gods, and they will never dare to offend, if they accidentally offend the gods, I am afraid that they will be punished by heaven.

Lou Xiyu knew that she couldn't ask anything from Xiao Dezi, so she didn't say anything, just quietly followed Xiao Dezi and walked to the imperial study.

At this time, Mu Qingjue was sitting alone in the imperial study, with a table in front of him, full of exquisite wine and food, quietly waiting for Lou Xiyu's arrival.

Soon, Lou Xiyu arrived, Xiao Dezi only sent Lou Xiyu to the door, then watched Lou Xiyu go in, closed the door easily, and stood at the door, waiting for Mu Qingjue's call.

And Lou Xiyu walked in alone, saw Mu Qingjue's back, stopped for a moment, or slowly approached, came to Mu Qingjue, bowed and saluted:

"Weichen Lou cherishes the jade, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live. ”

"Zijin, why should you and I be more polite. Mu Qingjue looked at Lou Xiyu, smiled faintly, and said so.

"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the courtesy of the king and the minister cannot be abolished. Lou Xiyu responded, revealing indifference and detachment in her tone, and she no longer had the intimacy she used to be.

When Mu Qingjue heard this, the expression on his face stiffened, and the movements in his hands also stopped, and then he continued to speak: "Sit down, I am looking for you today, I have something to tell you." Zijin, just like before, have a drink with me. ”

"Wechen obeyed. Lou Xiyu replied with her hand and sat opposite Mu Qingjue respectfully.

Seeing this, Mu Qingjue sighed slightly, no matter what he said or did, it was impossible for the affection between him and Lou Xiyu to grow up together as before, and with his impulse, it disappeared completely.

"I was wrong, Zijin, this matter is my mistake. Mu Qingjue poured a glass of wine for each of himself and Lou Xiyu, and then handed one of the cups to Lou Xiyu and spoke.

Wechen was terrified. Lou Xiyu was noncommittal to Mu Qingjue's words, and she didn't have any resentment.

"I was deceived by Xiao Ling, a traitor, thinking that you and Qingchen had joined forces to deceive me, and the relationship between you and Qingchen was clear in my heart. It was I who had to send Qingchen to the Ningyue Kingdom and break you up, which caused today's tragedy, and I am sorry for you. Mu Qingjue saw that Lou Xiyu's attitude was not salty or light, so she said to herself, "If I hadn't forced Qingchen to make peace, she wouldn't have committed suicide, let alone "

At this point, Mu Qingjue suddenly paused, raised his eyes to look at Lou Xiyu, and observed the look on his face, but saw that Lou Xiyu's face was calm, and there was nothing unusual at all.

He originally wanted to say that if he hadn't forced Mu Qingchen to go to Ning Yue and kiss, Mu Qingchen would not have used suicide to resist, and he would not have died so inexplicably, allowing Ye Qingcheng's soul to take advantage of the loophole. Although up to now, he still felt a little puzzled by Ye Qingcheng's resurrection of the corpse, but other than that, he couldn't explain Mu Qingchen's sudden ability and power.

"Your Majesty, the past has passed, no one needs to dwell on it, Her Royal Highness the princess is now the queen mother of Ningyue, and she has nothing to do with Weichen. Lou Xiyu said lightly, "The past is over, and it is useless to say more." ”

This is the longest sentence that Lou Xiyu said to Mu Qingjue after he came out of the prison, but he only heard these eight words: The past is over, and it is useless to talk more.

Whether it is the relationship between Lou Xiyu and Mu Qingchen, or the brotherhood between him and himself, it has become a thing of the past, scattered in everyone's memory, but not mentioned.

"Is it really impossible to go back, between you and me, I can no longer talk by candle and night, and talk about wine" Mu Qingjue was still a little unwilling and asked.

In this incident, he seems to have lost something, not only a loyal courtier, but also a brother who is kind-hearted. In the future, the Lou family may still defend the country and fight on the battlefield, but Mu Qingjue for him is not desperate.

"The emperor is serious, since ancient times, the king is like a tiger, this sentence, Weichen has known it for a long time, so over the years, he has reined in his edge, can suppress, and even restrain the people in the family, and has never had any out-of-the-ordinary behavior, but he was still suspected by the emperor and almost caused the disaster of annihilation. Lou Xiyu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "From now on, Zi Jin will only do her own thing, Zi Jin is the general of the Tianxing Kingdom, defending the family and defending the country, guarding one side, but he is no longer the emperor's brother." ”

Lou Xiyu's attitude can be described as straightforward, no longer a brother, so he told Mu Qingjue everything, which made Mu Qingjue break his thoughts.

Many things, not a word of sorry, can be exchanged for it doesn't matter, injured people, do wrong things, always have to bear their own responsibility, with life to repay, just like now, Mu Qingjue, as the emperor, mistakenly believed the slanderous words of traitors, and forced himself to a dead end step by step.

"I see. Mu Qingjue said, "After this cup, between you and me, we are just monarchs and ministers, not brothers." ”

Lou Xiyu looked directly at Mu Qingjue's eyes, and after a long time, he picked up the wine glass and gently collided with the wine glass in Mu Qingjue's hand, making a crisp sound.

The two of them raised their glasses in unison and drank the wine in their glasses.

This glass of wine represents that the brotherhood between the two has been severed since then, and the two are just monarchs and ministers, not brothers. The past friendship was swallowed by the two of them in this glass of wine, like passing water without a trace.

"Your Majesty, the wine has been drunk, and the emperor's words must have been finished, so Weichen retired first. After Lou Xiyu finished drinking, she got up and said goodbye to Mu Qingjue.

As soon as he came back from Nanjun, he was recruited into the palace, and then Du's false accusations made him stay in the prison for so many days, and he hadn't seen his family for a long time. What's more, the Lou family has suffered a great change, although they are desperate, they will definitely feel very tired, and they need to see each other to make sure that each other is safe and sound.

"Go" Mu Qingjue was no longer able to say anything to save him, because he knew that the matter had come to this point, and it would be useless to say anything.

Lou Xiyu saw that Mu Qingjue agreed, so she turned around and left without any nostalgia. It was Mu Qingjue who was sorry for him first, he is like this now, and he has already fulfilled his benevolence and righteousness.

The door of the imperial study was opened, waking up Xiao Dezi who was in a daze outside the door, he saw Lou Xiyu come out so quickly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he just wanted to say something, but saw Lou Xiyu walking past him without squinting, his steps were getting faster and faster, and he was getting farther and farther away from the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Mu Qingjue drank another glass of wine alone, and the table full of exquisite meals did not move, and this table of meals was all what Lou Xiyu liked to eat, and it was Mu Qingjue who specially ordered the imperial dining room to make it, but unfortunately, such a small favor could not impress Lou Xiyu.

Hurriedly leaving the palace, Lou Xiyu returned to the house, the whole Lou family was reborn after the catastrophe, a new look, the people in the house accompanied the Lou family through the disaster, the affection between the master and the servant is also deeper, the head of the building commanded everyone to clean the house, welcome the new life of the Lou family.

"The general is back" Among the subordinates, I don't know who saw Lou Xiyu first, so he shouted.

Suddenly, all the people put down their work and knelt down towards Lou Xiyu, with eagerness in their eyes, as if they saw Lou Xiyu, they saw hope.

"General, you can come back" Manager Lou couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Lou Xiyu, "The old general will definitely be very happy to see you." ”

"Everyone get up, this time the Lou family has experienced life and death disasters, and I have wronged you, I Lou Xiyu, thank you here" Lou Xiyu said, bowing deeply to the people in the house.

This move made the subordinates in the house more convinced, and their loyalty to the Lou family was also more firm.

This is Lou Xiyu, who is in a high position but is not proud, as a master but no one in his eyes, always low-key and humble, always humble and gentle, no matter who he is.

"General, this can't be helped, this is to torture me and other villains," said the head of the building.

"The manager has worked hard, presumably my father is still waiting for me, and I will go and see my father first. Lou Xiyu picked up the manager of Lou, said this, and left the courtyard and headed towards the inner courtyard.

He knew that his father would usually practice calligraphy in the study at this time, except for the few days when he was tied to the execution ground, rain or shine. Practicing calligraphy and practicing skills is one of the few pastimes after General Lou retired from the battlefield.

"Master, the young master is back" The scholar at the door of the study saw Lou Xiyu, his eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly ran to the study and said to the old general Lou who was writing.

Hearing this, General Lou's hands trembled, and the pen in his hand slipped down in an instant, smashing on the snow-white paper, staining a large cloud of black ink. But he was quick on his feet, and he stepped out from behind his desk and headed for the door.

"Father, the child is unfilial, and the father suffers. As soon as Lou Xiyu entered the study, he knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Lou Zhenyuan.

"Good boy, there is no grievance for my father, my son is a good man, loyal and kind, the pride of his father and the pride of the Lou family" Lou Zhenyuan helped Lou Xiyu up, patted him on the shoulder, and then said.

Just one or two sentences made the famous veteran general on the battlefield red-eyed.

Lou Xiyu looked at her father, who had aged dozens of years overnight because of this change, and a sense of guilt arose, and her eyes were full of apologies. If it weren't for him getting too close to Xiao Yi and Luo Jin, Mu Qingjue would not have doubted him, and then fell into Xiao Ling's trap, causing the Lou family to suffer this catastrophe.
