Yuzhou, Luoyue City.

In the huge Lanruo Palace, there was only one person, and it seemed deserted.

All the people in the hall have been dismissed by Sima Ruolan.

Even Aunt Rong is no exception.

Since Sima Ruolan was six years old, Aunt Rong has always been by her side and taken care of her.

After Sima Ruolan married Yangzhou, Aunt Rong also went to Yangzhou with her.

As Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Sima Ruolan married in Yangzhou and only brought Aunt Rong with her.

In Sima Ruolan's eyes, this Aunt Rong is closer than the Queen Mother.

Aunt Rong was guarding the door of the hall, walking back and forth anxiously, but she didn't dare to push the door in.

She knew the temper of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

She also knew that at this moment, the eldest princess needed a little space, a little time for herself to be sad.

When Sima Wende came to look for his aunt, Aunt Rong was also present.

When the young emperor lost his temper at his aunt, Aunt Rong wanted to say a few words for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

It's just that there are some things that she can do?

In addition to making Her Royal Highness the princess feel more sad, what can be changed.

After His Majesty the Emperor came to the Lan Ruo Hall angrily, he didn't even call his aunt.

He only said three words.

First of all, my father is gone, and I watched him kill himself, my good aunt, you are really married to a good family.

The second sentence, isn't the identity of the eldest princess enough?

The third sentence, from now on, I don't have you as an aunt.

After finishing speaking, Sima Ruolan was not allowed to say anything, Sima Wende flicked his sleeves and left Lan Ruodian.

Even the palace people never thought that Sima Wende would say such three sentences when he arrived at Lan Ruo Palace.

After all, Sima Ruolan is also surnamed Sima.

And Sima Ruolan at that time didn't know what to say.

Yuan Bingde left Luoyue City with Yuan Chengzhi without telling her.

It was only when she missed Yuan Chengzhi these days and sent Aunt Rong to Xiangguo Mansion to pick up Yuan Chengzhi.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Why not call her?

Originally, Sima Ruolan's heart was already extremely sad.

After marrying Yangzhou, the whole of her life was only the man named Yuan Bingde.

Later, there was a little man named Yuan Chengzhi.

There is an old folk saying that a woman who marries out is like water spilled out.

What about the eldest princess?

Yuan Bingde has never called himself a horse.

And she used to be the princess, but now, she should be called the princess.

As for the future......

Does she have a future?

Half-lying on the couch, Sima Ruolan, who was holding her cheek with one hand, had a somewhat empty look in her eyes.

At this moment, her heart is as empty as her Lan Ruo Palace.

What else can you think? It's useless to think about anything.

What could she do? She couldn't do anything.

Sima Wende's thoughts, how could she not know?

She is not afraid of death, her heart is dead, what is the point of living?

Except for Yuan Chengzhi, even if it is Yuan Bingde, she has nothing to worry about.

Tears overflowed his eyes, slid down his cheeks, dripped down the couch, and remained on his lips.

Tears are bitter.

Sima Ruolan took a long breath, her eyes slightly closed, and let the tears flow freely.

The most uncomfortable time is when it is a person crying.

The saddest thing is that I can only cry alone.

Lying on the couch and crying seriously for a long time, Sima Ruolan got up from the bed and wiped her eyes with a brocade handkerchief.

She should have cried like this, but she had never cried like this.

She has always been afraid, afraid that her current home will destroy her original home.

She was so scared that she wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry like this, she didn't even have a chance to cry.

The son is well-behaved and obedient, smart and clever.

Her husband is gentle and considerate and meticulous to her.

She had no reason to cry.

This kind of suffering, maybe only Aunt Rong can understand.

She loves Yuan Bingde, and she firmly believes that Yuan Bingde also loves her and has always loved her.

But now, this belief has been shattered.

She didn't believe that Yuan Bingde, who was so thorough, would not be able to remember that someone would send her a message.

At the moment, the only one who can make her reluctant is Yuan Chengzhi.

This is her son.

Even if his surname Yuan Chengzhi is Yuan, he still has half of the blood of the Sima clan in his body.

When Yuan Chengzhi followed her into the palace, because of Yuan Shixin's relationship, the queen mother was very displeased with this grandson.

When Yuan Chengzhi knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to the Queen Mother three times, the Queen Mother didn't even look at Yuan Chengzhi.

As for Sima Xiangle, let alone Yuan Chengzhi, even her own sister, he doesn't have a good face.

Sima Ruolan didn't expect Sima Xiangle to do anything to her, after all, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she owed Sima Xiangle.

Although that incident has nothing to do with her.

Now, Sima Xiangle ended her life in this way, and she, who is a sister, feels very painful in her heart.

She wanted to do something.

Take the sons and daughters of the Sima clan and do something for the Sima clan.

She was going to meet Yuan Shixin, her high-ranking father-in-law.

Zhu lips opened slightly, and she called softly, "Aunt Rong!"

Aunt Rong, who had been listening to the movement in the hall outside, hurriedly answered, pushed the door in, closed the door casually, and walked quickly to the couch.

Looking at Sima Ruolan's red eyes, Aunt Rong was a little distressed and said, "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

Sima Ruolan waved her hand and said, "Auntie, cry out, this palace can feel better, De'er is a smart child, he does this for my good!"

Aunt Rong was stunned for a moment, then figured out the meaning of Sima Ruolan's words, and wondered: "Your Highness, why is Your Majesty like this......?"

Speaking of this, she covered her mouth and looked back a few times.

The door is closed.

Sima Ruolan moved to the side and beckoned Aunt Rong to sit down.

Aunt Rong half-sat on the couch and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, just because the prince is so good to you, that kind of accident won't happen!"

Sima Ruolan smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "So far, what are the surprises that are not unexpected? De'er can have this heart, and I, who is an aunt, am already satisfied." Auntie, what I can't worry about the most at the moment is Zhi'er. ”

Aunt Rong took Sima Ruolan's hand and patted it gently: "Your Highness, just put your heart in your stomach, think about it, Xiao Shizi is the eldest son of the prince and the eldest grandson of Xiangye, even if there is one day in the future, His Royal Highness Xiao Shizi will not have any accidents." The most important thing at the moment is for Your Highness to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Go back to Yangzhou, what are you going back to the palace?" Sima Ruolan laughed miserably.

Seeing Sima Ruolan's life and death aspirations, Aunt Rong persuaded bitterly: "Your Highness, even if it is for the sake of His Royal Highness the little prince, you have to find a way to return to Yangzhou." ”

Hearing Aunt Rong mention Yuan Chengzhi, Sima Ruolan showed a trace of warmth on her face, sighed and said: "Zhi'er has also grown up, in the future, maybe he won't need me as a mother." ”

"Your Highness!"

Aunt Rong slipped off the couch, knelt on the ground, took Sima Ruolan's hand, and said softly: "Your Highness, no matter what, you must live well, the slave dares to ask, don't you want to see Xiao Shizi sit on that dragon chair in the future?"

Sima Ruolan glanced at Aunt Rong, there was some anger in her eyes, then she thought about it and was relieved.

Aunt Rong can say such things in front of her, which shows that in her heart, she thinks about herself.

Sighing, she pulled up Aunt Rong and said in a low voice: "Aunt Rong, don't talk nonsense about this matter, if it is heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to Zhi'er." ”

Aunt Rong got up, sat in front of Sima Ruolan and whispered, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

Sima Ruolan thought for a while and said to Aunt Rong: "Auntie, come here with your ears!"

Aunt Rong gently pressed her head over, and Sima Ruolan whispered a few words.

Her eyes widened, and Aunt Rong, who was very shocked in her heart, looked at Sima Ruolan.

Sima Ruolan nodded slightly.

Standing up, Sima Ruolan said: "Aunt Rong, let's go, drive to Xiangguo Mansion, I, who is an aunt, should also do something for De'er." ”

————————————————

After coming out of Lan Ruo Palace, Sima Wende was expressionless, and walked towards his bedroom with his sleeves flicked.

Gong Juren followed behind him, looking at the little emperor who walked in front without saying a word, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

What happened in Lan Ruodian, he still had to record it truthfully, and then he would send someone to Xiangguo Mansion.

The palace people could guess Sima Wende's intentions.

He admired Sima Wende's approach.

It's just that even he can guess it, so how could Yuan Shixin not guess it?

With a light cough, he asked, "Your Majesty, where is the dinner?"

Sima Wende was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I don't have much appetite, if you are hungry, I will give you the imperial food to eat!"

Gongjuren bowed behind Sima Wende and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important. ”

Sima Wende snorted coldly and said, "If you don't eat a meal, you won't starve to death, not to mention, the one above you can't wait for me to starve to death." ”

The palace man said in a proper manner: "Your Majesty, we are slaves, and we are just following orders." ”

"Obey?"

Sima Wende turned around suddenly, stared at the palace juren and asked, "Whose order do you listen to?" I ask you, why did you betray your father?"

Gong Juren looked at the angry emperor in front of him, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't ask me about this matter!"

"Don't ask?"

Sima Wende sneered and glanced at Gong Juren.

At this point, what else can't he say, what can't he ask?

He didn't believe it, could this group of eunuchs still keep his mouth shut?

The palace man saluted Sima Wende slightly: "Your Majesty, why bother with me as a eunuch?"

"Eunuch? I've never seen a eunuch like you. ”

Sima Wende snorted heavily and said, "Could it be that he Yuan Shixin gave you great benefits?"

Gong Juren shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo did give me some benefits, but these are not the reasons for me to betray the Emperor." Besides, for me, it's not a betrayal, but the betrayal is just what His Majesty and the Emperor think. ”

Sima Wende sneered and said disdainfully: "When you become a bitch, you still want to set up an archway in front of me?" Gong Mink Temple, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, right now I'm just a lonely person, you say it or not, in my eyes, you are all my enemies, what's the difference?"

Then he said self-deprecatingly: "What if I treat you as an enemy? ”

Gong Juren was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what you think, I just want to say one thing, because the Emperor Taishang was once deaf and unreasonable, which led to the destruction of many families, and I am one of these people. Perhaps, in His Majesty's heart, how can the life and death of those Li people be compared with the royal family? Just as we had to accept our fate, we swallowed this blood hatred into our stomachs, and lived for a long time, relying on time to slowly dilute this hatred in our hearts, and when we died, we would only sigh with emotion, this is fate, and even anger ourselves, why didn't we admit our fate back then. Your Majesty, do you think I am willing to be a eunuch? Do you think that I will have a deep hatred and hatred, but I will saddle up for the emperor?"

Seeing that Sima Wende didn't speak, the palace man continued: "Your Majesty also wants to say that it was all the ministers under him who speculated about the holy will and caused the people to complain?"

Sima Wende didn't expect the palace man to say such a thing, he wanted to fight for it on the basis of reason, not for anything else, just to fight for the little face he had left.

But he couldn't say anything.

Because he didn't pay attention.

Perhaps in the past, he could think that the emperor was the Heavenly Principle.

But now ......

Gong Juren sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. The walls of the emperor's house are too high, and some of the voices are blocked out of the walls, so you can't hear them, but this does not mean that the people outside are living in peace and contentment. ”

Sima Wende's mouth moved, and finally shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen with the presence of a national teacher." ”

Hearing Sima Wende mention Huo Xingwei, Gong Juren chuckled and said: "It is the blessing of all the people that my Great Jin can have a national teacher." Your Majesty, Weichen said something that should not be said, and what you just said is a great injustice to the national teacher. ”

Sima Wende understood the meaning of Gong Juren's words, nodded and said: "It's me who lost my words, I understand, and because of this, the national teacher was so disappointed in his father that he replaced me as the emperor, but what's the point of this?"

Gong Juren shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, these micro-ministers don't understand. ”

Sima Wende remembered what Huo Xingwei had said on the stargazing platform that night.

When the tea maker is tired, a new tea maker will appear.

Or the tea maker brews and drinks by himself.

He remembered the person who suddenly appeared in the imperial study, the person named Chen Fangzao.

It turns out that all of this is within the calculations of the national teacher.

Seeing that Sima Wende was silent, the palace man asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to have something light for dinner?"

Sima Wende remembered something and asked, "Gong Mink Temple, let me ask you, did Xiangguo mention the matter of the early dynasty?"

Gong Juren bowed his head and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo said, thinking of the pain of losing your father's father in Your Majesty, the early dynasty will be exempted in the past few days." ”

Sima Wende shook his head slightly, turned around, and walked in the direction of the dormitory, saying as he walked: "Forget it, what if you go to the early dynasty? It's not our Lord Xiangguo who has the final say? I sat on that dragon chair, but it was just a pawn of his Yuan Shixin." ”

Gong Juren did not speak.

Sima Wende suddenly smiled and said: "Gong Mink Temple, do you have to write down what I say truthfully, and then send it out to Xiangguo?"

Gong Juren said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen will only briefly describe where you went that day and who you met, as for what you said, you may not write it all, but only select some key points." ”

"Oh, what to focus on?"

Gong Juren said: "Why does Your Majesty ask knowingly, but with Your Majesty's current situation, if nothing else, there should be no point to talk about." ”

Sima Wende glanced back at the palace man, and then asked, "Without the palace maids, all the people who serve me in the palace are little eunuchs?"

Gong Juren nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After thinking about it, he continued: "Your Majesty, according to the instructions of Lord Xiangguo, except for Your Majesty's bedtime, Weichen will always follow you to serve you. ”

Sima Wende chuckled: "Could it be that I don't need protection when I go to bed?"

The palace man said: "Your Majesty is too worried, have you forgotten that the Emperor Taishang has trained a few people? Without my palace people, there will still be other people to protect Your Majesty." ”

Unexpectedly, there were people around him all the time, Sima Wende was a little worried, worried about how the person named Chen Fangzao would find a chance to talk to him.

He said that he would always follow him, and he couldn't see anyone, and he always felt less confident in his heart.

After arriving at the dormitory, the palace man whispered a few words to the little eunuch guarding the door, and then said to Sima Wende: "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to get some light meals and send them over, you go to rest first, and when the imperial food is delivered, the ministers will send it to you." ”

Sima Wende was surprised: "You don't come in?"

The palace man bowed his head and said: "The minister will not go in to disturb His Majesty's rest, I will always be at the door, Your Majesty can call me if you have something." ”

Sima Wende nodded and said, "Who is serving me inside?"

The palace is humane: "The little eunuch who has been in the palace for less than a year may be a little stupid in his hands and feet, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of it more." ”

Sima Wende shook his head and walked in.

After the dinner was delivered, Sima Wende ordered someone to put it on the table, and he did not move it.

He really couldn't eat it.

The palace people did not force it, and arranged for a few people to guard the door, and he knelt down to Sima Wende.

Sima Wende knew that Gong Juren was going back to write a diary.

It was the diary of his Sima Wende.

Only a little eunuch who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old remained in the house.

timid, they don't dare to look at him.

After going through so many things, letting such a small child serve him, Sima Wende actually had an unbearable heart.

It's just a matter of serving tea and pouring water, and he can do things like taking off his clothes and boots.

As a result, as soon as he went to untie the dragon robe himself, the little eunuch knelt down in front of him and couldn't stop shedding tears.

Sima Wende was puzzled, not in a hurry to loosen his clothes, sat on the dragon bed and asked, "What is your name? What are you crying about?"

The little eunuch with a round face touched his tears and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the little one's surname is Niu, his real name is Dandan, after entering the palace, they are all called Little Danzi, and some people call him Little Dan Gonggong." Your Majesty, are you too small and clumsy? You are a dragon, how can you do it yourself? If you let Gong Mink Temple know, the little ass will be hit by the board, and the little one is afraid of pain, so he will cry. ”

"Cow Ball?"

Sima Wende chuckled lightly and said to Niu Dandan: "Your name is very interesting, okay, don't cry, I undressed myself because I saw that you were young, you are very good, I like it very much." ”

When Niu Dandan heard this, he grinned and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will still do a good job of helping you change your clothes." ”

After speaking, he got up and began to help Sima Wende undress.

After taking off his boots and socks, Niu Dan Dan held them in his arms and stepped backwards to fetch water for His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, there was no one in the palace except Sima Wende.

Craned his neck to look at the roof a few times, and Sima Wende, who had not found any trace of Chen Fangzao, lay barefoot on the bed and sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't always sigh, it's not good, it's not good!"

Hearing someone talking around him, Sima Wende was frightened, and hurriedly got up and sat up.

Seeing that Sima Wende was full of horror, Chen Fangzao smiled and said, "Isn't Your Majesty looking for me?

Sima Wende patted his chest, calmed down and said, "Mr. Chen is really a divine dragon who can't see the beginning and the end, and you suddenly appeared like this, but I was shocked!"

Chen Fangzao smiled and said, "If it weren't for the relief of Your Majesty, I wouldn't have shown this face." ”

After speaking, Chen Fangzao's ears moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty just have a good rest, I'm leaving!"

Sima Wende only felt that the figure in front of him flashed, and Chen Fang had long disappeared without a trace.

The door opened, and Niu Dan Dan walked in with water.

——————————————————

In Wei Shuai's mansion, the lights are bright.

Everywhere there were guards patrolling everywhere.

After Jia Nanfeng arrived at Wei Tiangang's mansion, he was arranged by Wei Tiangang to rest in the room adjacent to him.

Between the two rooms, there is a room apart.

In this room, there were ten Wei Tiangang's guards.

On the other side of Wei Tiangang's room, there were also ten people hidden.

After Jia Nanfeng arrived at Wei Tiangang's mansion, Wei Tiangang directly and simply took forty guards to meet Jia Nanfeng.

In addition to the twenty guards hidden on both sides of Wei Tiangang's room, the other twenty were hidden in the front and back of Wei Tiangang's room.

The rooftops were empty.

Wei Tiangang's meaning was obvious, and Jia Nanfeng also saw Wei Tiangang's meaning.

He didn't say much, anyway, he Wei Tiangang was not interested.

He's betting on a possibility, a big possibility.

If there is no such possibility, with these forty guards alone, he can also say a few kind words in front of the new king.

It's late at night.

Yuan Xi didn't rush in, but sat on the roof of a family not far from Wei Shuai's mansion, eating steamed buns.

The buns are delicious, but I'm a little choked.

Yuan Xi sighed, careless, and forgot to bring a water bladder.

Stretching his neck and looking at the courtyard a few times, Yuan Xi rolled his eyes, turned over and fell into the courtyard.

Seeing that there was still some light in the bedroom, Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, in the end, it was a family in the city, the night was so deep, and the oil lamp was still lit.

At the time of Wang Lizhuang, in addition to the Chinese New Year, few people lit up the lights in the middle of the night.

went to the wing room and found the water tank, Yuan Xi picked up the scoop and poured most of the scoop of cold water.

After drinking, Yuan Xi took out two pennies from his arms and put them on the lid of the water tank.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Xi turned over and went to the roof again and looked at the opposite side a few times.

Just now, the husband walked through with a stick, and it was only the second watch.

He prepared for the third watch and started to act.

Lying flat on the roof, Yuan Xi looked up at the stars in the sky.

At this time, there was some movement in the room under him, Yuan Xi didn't want to hear it, but his ear power was too good.

Listening to the movement, it seemed that the husband and wife were fighting, and the two were fighting a little fiercely, the man was so tired that he was panting, and the woman was screaming when he was beaten.

It's just that this kind of call makes Yuan Xi's heart itch a little.

The body suddenly had an inexplicable impulse, which frightened Yuan Xi's heart, could it be that he also has a hobby of a big woman?

How will he face Lu Guanju in the future?

Yuan Xi hurriedly got up and exercised his skills and closed the six senses.

After his heart stopped water, Yuan Xi exhaled lightly and slowly opened his eyes.

The snoring of the man could be heard in the house below.

Yuan Xi smiled.

This is what the uncles and uncles in Zhuangzi called "fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed".

Yuan Xi thinks this is very good.

In this way, he will not be afraid of making her angry in the future.

Xiao Fei once read a sentence from the book and told him to listen.

Don't think it's a good thing that your woman isn't angry, because there's a good chance she's accommodating to you all the time.

Over time, you will get used to this accommodation.

Until finally she gets tired and doesn't love anymore!

Yuan Xi didn't want this to happen to him.

He didn't want the word accommodation to appear between him and her, and if there really was accommodation, it would mean one thing,

He doesn't love her enough!
