"Yeah, why did it get to the point where it's hard to finish step by step?" Zhong Mingwei muttered, squinting at the bronze three-legged incense burner on the window sill. After a while, he continued, "It's about King Pingxi. Of course, I have to be cautious. At that time, my father and the queen mother warned me again and again. It's just that I understand. The meaning behind their words is completely different. My father wanted to take this opportunity Clearing up all the old knowledge of King Pingxi in the court completely cut off all the foundations of King Pingxi's rebellion. He didn't care whether King Pingxi would really rebel. What he cared about was that King Pingxi would not rebel even if he wanted to. And the Queen Mother What? She was afraid that King Pingxi would be harmed by the anger of her father. But at that time, the Xu clan and King Pingxi were all thorns in his father's eyes. She was born in the Xu family and was the mother of King Pingxi. I can't get out of trouble. So I can only remind me again and again. But what good can I do. Seeing that more and more courtiers are involved, the queen mother is becoming more and more restless. I am afraid that this will continue, Ping Xi Wang’s reputation as a traitor was confirmed. Later, in order to keep King Pingxi, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Father reached a tacit agreement that the case would not affect King Pingxi. The Xu family will withdraw from the court.”
"They have different thoughts, but they don't care at all. The courtier who was implicated by the screwdriver is dead or alive, but I, a cowardly and incompetent prince, can do nothing but be obedient. I even want to be the executioner myself," said At this point, Zhong Mingwei let out a long sigh. He buried his whole face in Meiya's neck, and after a while, he opened his mouth again, "Girl, am I... particularly useless? Especially... useless? "
Meiya didn't speak, but hugged Zhong Mingwei tightly. She knew that Zhong Mingwei must be extremely uncomfortable and blamed herself to the extreme. She wanted to comfort Zhong Mingwei, but her lips trembled, but she didn't say anything. She just hugged Zhong Mingwei more tightly. tight.
What Zhong Mingwei said was right, he was indeed cowardly and incompetent, except to watch the screw-up officials become victims of the wrestling between the queen mother and the emperor, but he could do nothing, and even sent them to the execution ground himself.
Is it his fault?
Isn't it his fault?
Meiya couldn't think clearly, but hugged Zhong Mingwei even tighter.
"That year's New Year's Eve, it was this hand," Zhong Mingwei tremblingly raised his right hand, staring at the trembling right hand, his voice trembling as well, "Approved the memorandum sent by the Ministry of Punishment. , and then at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the heads of 18 officials fell to the ground, and 20 officials became prisoners, and their families were exiled to Ninggu Pagoda."
Meiya also looked at the trembling hand, and while listening to Zhong Mingwei's voice, her heart throbbed with pain, she stretched out her hand to hold the trembling hand, and while pulling that hand, she put it under the quilt again. : "Ming Wei, it's all over."
"I can't get over it," Zhong Mingwei shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "I claim to be not a gentleman, and I have blood on my hands, but I have never regretted it. I will treat people as they treat me." , I have always had a steelyard in my heart, but since that year’s New Year’s Eve, the steelyard has disappeared.”
"It's gone, then find it again," Meiya held his face, forehead against his, nose tip to his nose, and said softly, "Now you are no longer a coward Incompetent prince, you are my man, you have to become stronger, both physically and mentally, otherwise how can you be worthy of my going deep?"
"Going deeper and deeper?" Zhong Mingwei's heart felt hot, and he kissed Meiya with his lips, "Where did you learn such a good word?"
"When making dumplings that day, Sister An said that she could sing Kunqu opera. I had never heard it before, so I asked her to sing it to me, so, I learned such a word," Meiya was a little embarrassed, and kissed Kissing Zhong Mingwei, he said embarrassingly, "Is it because I said this kind of polite words, especially... very awkward?"
"Where is it awkward? It sounds very nice," Zhong Mingwei said softly, looking into Meiya's dark eyes, and said, "I will teach you whatever you want to learn in the future."
"Well, then you can sing "The Peony Pavilion"?" Meiya asked hastily, "Sister An sang very well that day, but I just remembered one sentence, the love doesn't know where it started, and as it goes deeper and deeper, the living can sing." Death, death can lead to life, I can’t remember what’s behind it.”
