In Xuanyuanfang Si Mansion, two sycamore trees in front of the court were blown by the strong wind and their branches and leaves were swaying. Sand and stones were flying on the ground, and a heavy rain was approaching.
Although Si Weiyun is now an extreme minister, the mansion is still the same as before. In the early years of Emperor Yao's investigation, he was short-lived, and half of the four courtyards were set on fire. Emperor Hao issued a decree to give him a new house, but he wrote a letter of resignation. He only repaired it and still lived here.
Returning from the palace today, Si Weiyun was very worried. Unexpectedly, just as he entered the gate, the butler rushed to meet him and said in a low voice, "Master, Commander Wei has been waiting for you for a long time."
Wei Long March? Si Weiyun was startled when he heard the words, "Where is the man?"
"In the West Hall."
Si Wei Yunping retreated from his entourage, hurried to the study in the west hall, and saw Wei Changzheng standing in front of the window with a light armor and a sharp sword.
"Master Si!" Wei Changzheng didn't show much courtesy when he saw him, and directly cupped his hands, "There is a decree in the palace."
Si Weiyun Zhenyi wanted to kneel, but he stopped him: "No need, it's a secret decree, please read it yourself." He took out the secret decree and handed it over.
Si Weiyun took it with both hands, took it apart and took a look, the bright yellow cloud paper, the embossed cinnabar golden dragon seal, indeed came from the imperial study, and he was shocked all the way, covered in cold sweat.
Wei Changzheng waited for him to finish reading, then took out another golden lacquered letter, "From Huzhou to the east, you can reach Langzhou in at most three days. Xuanjia Tiewei is waiting outside, please take this letter with you. Be sure to pass it on to King Zhan."
Si Weiyun's heart is already clear. In recent years, the emperor has promoted poor generals, punished corruption, appointed officials, and took away the power of officials and families step by step. The Feng family already felt that there was a sharp knife in their necks, and there were dangers everywhere, and they didn't want to sit and wait for death, so they colluded with the imperial doctor to murder the emperor, in an attempt to fight back and overthrow the sky. Over the years, the lack of investigation has offended countless powerful and powerful people. How many people in the court hate him deeply. Once the official family takes power, they will definitely not let him and Du Junshu and others go. It turned out that it was a Ming derogation and a real guarantee.
At this time, the emperor is seriously ill, and the Feng family is deeply rooted in the court. If they confront him head-on, the outcome is uncertain. What's more, there are four governors outside the Feng family who control the military and political power of the sixteen states. In addition to the important state capitals near the imperial capital, there are also Wenzhou, Jizhou, Xianzhou, and Langzhou, which are in need of the Eastern Navy. On the contrary, once there is a change, King Zhan will be in danger if he is under the enemy's back and forth. The queen is trying to stabilize the Feng family by delaying the troops, and wants to ensure the smooth war in the East China Sea.
However, these are still in the second place. What shocked Si Weiyun the most was that the queen, together with Feng Yanxu and Wei Snake, entrusted the Feng family to the top of the cloud with one hand. , Secretly dispatched troops and generals, and the sword pointed directly at Feng's house. One step at a time is intertwined, what is she going to do? Faced with these, what will happen to King Zhan who holds a heavy army? Thinking of this, Si Weiyun couldn't help shivering, calmed down, and asked Wei Changzheng: "Is this the imperial decree, or the empress's decree?"
Wei Changzheng smiled, "Is it an imperial decree or a Yi decree, what's the difference? It's not too late, my lord, let's go quickly, I have to go to Lord Du's mansion."
Si Weiyun took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Please tell your mother, Si Weiyun will definitely not disgrace her life!"
It didn't know when it started to rain heavily, Qing Chen stood outside the hall, his ears were filled with the sound of rain falling rapidly.
The rain fell like a note, pouring down, splashing on the open Baishi square, and the water sprayed into pieces. The solemn and solemn Dazheng Palace was shrouded in the rain, and it was far blurred into a piece of floating gold.
Looking up, the rain was vast, and there was an endless silence between the heaven and the earth. There was no thought in my heart, and it seemed to be washed away by the rain. The soul stretches endlessly with the heavy rain, and almost merges with the world. Every drop of rain is clear, pouring into the heart, and dripping.
The cold wind blowing under the eaves made Qing Chen's clothes flutter. The rain slanted down the skirt of her clothes, but she still stood still, letting the rain splash down her hair, wet her face, and wash her eyes clear.
How many days had passed, Ye Tianling remained unconscious even after she used up all the acupuncture and medicine. Once the poison broke out, it seemed to be suppressed by his own will, and never repeated again, but his body also reached the limit it could bear.
Watching him fall asleep motionless, it was as if his soul had been hollowed out and slowly filled with fear. If... She didn't dare to think about these two words. Sitting alone in front of the couch late at night, holding his hand, she realized that she had a lot of things she wanted to say to him. She told him bit by bit, the world in her memory, the future she yearned for, the subtle sorrows and joys she hid in her heart. We met for the first time, we met again, our hearts are connected, our love is deep, and we don’t realize that it has been nearly ten years. Thousands of years have passed like water, flowers bloom and fall, day and night, how many ten years are left...
He was by her side, but he never listened to her whisper as usual, never raised the corners of his lips to smile at her, never answered her questions with such a light voice, he was only so quiet that every word she said was desolate. . But only such a remark can dispel the fear that fills her heart, so that she will not be swallowed by the darkness alone in such a silent night. So it went on and on like this, without stopping for a moment, until dawn broke and another day.
Another day, swords and swords in the open, tigers and wolves in the dark, three thousand palaces and palaces, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. A day of rain, lonely cold, powerless exhaustion, the slightest immersion into the bone marrow.
Qing Chen closed his eyes, firmly dug his fingertips into his palms, raised his eyebrows suddenly, took a big step forward, and stood directly in the rain.
"Your Majesty!" Footsteps of different severity came from behind.
Qing Chen turned back from the rain, and Mo Buping led the subordinates of Mingyilou, Wei Changzheng, Nangong Jing and other confidant generals to kneel in front of the hall. The posture is somewhat reassuring.
"What's the matter?" Qing Chen slowly wiped the cold rain off his face, and asked in a low voice as he walked in front of the corridor.
"My lord, the Eighteen Iron Guards have escorted Master Si out of the city."
"The Imperial Army of the two cities is under control, and there is no change."
"The officers and men of the Xuanjia Army are on standby, ready to be dispatched at any time."
"Every place in Sizhou has also been properly arranged."
"Okay." Qing Chen smiled to hide his haggard eyes, and Qing Chen's voice was very calm, even cold: "Don't disturb the other party, make sure that the battle in the East China Sea is safe, and be clean and tidy when you do it."
"Yes!" The short but powerful voice fell into the rain, and Mo Buping raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, is the Emperor getting better?"
Qing Chen pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and remained silent. Seeing this, Mo Buping had to say something, so he thought about it: "Should the empress make the worst plan now?"
Unexpectedly, Qing Chen suddenly raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty will be fine!" Her eyes were bloodshot, with sadness and hatred, and the bitterness was unspeakable. Mo Buping even lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, let alone say anything else, just stood silently in front of her.
Qing Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his body swayed slightly, almost unable to stand still. Suddenly, he saw Yan Xi hurried out from the inside, and when he got close, he knelt on the wet ground, so excited that even his voice was out of tune: " Empress! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is awake!"
Everyone was overjoyed, Qing Chen turned around and ran into the hall. Yan Xi followed behind, and she had never seen her walk so hastily, and she was no longer calm and graceful in her usual days. He trotted all the way, followed before the screen and suddenly stopped, bowed his head and retreated.
There were curtains in the bedroom, and the room was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, it was as quiet as late at night, the patter of rain outside was barely audible, Qing Chen could only hear his own hasty footsteps, he stopped suddenly in front of the couch, and looked behind the cloud curtain in a daze.
Ye Tianling leaned on the pillow, half-closed his eyes, his complexion was as thin as snow, and the frown between his brows was half covered by the light, light as a floating shadow, sharp as a sword's edge. He opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and when he saw her, a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips. Qing Chen knelt down beside him one step at a time, hugged him silently, pressed against his body tightly, and buried his face in the warm silk.
Ye Tianling struggled to raise his hand to touch her shoulder, and asked hoarsely, "Is it raining, why are you all soaked?"
Qing Chen's body trembled slightly, his throat was sore and unbearable, many words were stuck there, but he couldn't say a word. His hands were cold, and there was no warmth in his body. She was also as cold as a snowman, but she was trembling uncontrollably. Skin to skin, the only warmth in the hug rippling from the heart, warming each other's cold, each other's loneliness. A layer of silk tent, the square inch of the world, was so quiet that there was no sound, only the breathing of the two of them was entangled. Ye Tianling patted her on the back lightly, and smiled faintly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His voice was weak and hoarse, but it was so real in his ears. Qing Chen finally raised his head and stared at him, but with just one glance, tears fell down his lapel. Obviously couldn't stop the tears, but smiled again, the eyes were clear and clear, soft and bright like water waves, almost a lesson to others.
Ye Tianling brushed her cheeks with his fingertips, frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "I'm a mother now, and she cries and laughs like a child, not afraid of my daughter's jokes."
Qing Chen didn't argue with him, and felt that whatever he said was good, he held his hand and pressed it to his face, and said softly, "Fourth brother, do you feel better? Is there any other discomfort?" ?” While carefully checking his pulse, he became more relieved: “After these few days, the poison has weakened, and if you slowly use medicine to remove the residual poison and heal the old wound, it will be fine.”
Ye Tianling's face was full of tiredness, but his eyes were dark and bottomless, with a hint of sternness: "Mere poison, what can I do?" Among them, only disdain and arrogance can be seen. While speaking, he coughed in a low voice, but it made Qing Chen feel extremely distressed, he hurriedly turned around to take the medicine, sat in front of the couch, scooped it up gently with a jade spoon, and brought it to his lips.
The medicine was slightly bitter, but Ye Tianling didn't care. He leaned against the pillow and looked at her quietly, with a soft smile on his lips, and drank the medicine spoon by spoon. Qing Chen held the medicine cup, raised his eyes slightly, and suddenly stopped in his gaze. Time recedes, as if going back to the night many years ago, they met in the mountains for the first time, met by chance, suddenly looking back, in the dim lights, the fate of the world settled down.
At that time, she didn't know that he was Ye Tianling, and he didn't know that she was Ning Wenqing, so she just looked back at that moment, raised her eyes, and looked at each other with awe, what year is it.
If she came to this life for him, then his life is just to wait for her. Reaching out to rescue each other in the clear water pool, taking arrows from the foot of the Pingdie Mountain to heal the wounds, they have already intersected each other's lives in the dark, and it is hard to separate and hard to part.
Snow clothes without makeup, autumn eyes bright, as if the appearance will not change in a thousand years, he has seen it in the previous life in his dream, and he is destined in this life. While looking at each other, Ye Tianling smiled slightly, "Qing'er, if it wasn't for this arrow, I would have missed that mountain screen, and I would have missed you too."
The tear stains under the lamp cast a faint light on Qing Chen's face, his words made her feel sore, she said softly: "But this arrow almost made me lose you."
Ye Tianling leaned back wearily, and the smile on his lips slowly deepened: "It's just an arrow, but it's still worth it. It's a pity that the bamboo house was destroyed in the fire. When we go back, we will rebuild it for you. "
Qing Chen stretched out his hand to hold him, interlocking his fingers, there was only a softness in his heart. Ye Tianling turned his head slightly: "Where do you want to go first, the East China Sea?"
Qing Chen was stunned, "Fourth Brother?"
Ye Tianling said in a low voice: "I know, I can hear what you said these days." He stretched out his hand, and gently lifted Qing Chen's cheek, with a handsome smile on his lips, feeling slightly cold in his illness His fingers seem to be weak and weak, but the power hidden underneath, as long as he holds it with his backhand, it will change the world in Kyushu and overthrow all directions. "After the war in the East China Sea is settled down, what's the difficulty if I take you to the prosperous place of Yunhai Xianshan? As long as you think about it, as long as I'm here, there's nowhere in the world you can't go."
Qing Chen stared at him, and quietly smiled: "As long as you are here, the whole world is my home, and it's the same everywhere."
