The sky was covered by dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
Sponian said: "My lord, let's find a place to avoid it. After the heavy rain, let's go again!"
Seeing Yun Qing didn't speak, Brother Rui said: "Father, no matter how urgent it is, it will be at this hour and a half!" During this time, they were on their way almost day and night. But because I took the coffin, I just passed Shengjing after so many days.
Seeing Yun Qing unmoved, Sponian hurriedly said: "The emperor, if you get sick from the rain, the empress's empress will be worried again."
Brother Rui quickly took the words: "Yes! Father, last time my mother fell ill because of me. If you care about your body so much, your mother will feel sad and sick again."
Yun Qing glanced at Brother Rui, his eyes were very dissatisfied. Fortunately, he cursed his mother, this is not a filial son. However, he still spit out two words: "Avoid the rain."
As soon as they set up the tent, it started to rain heavily.
Brother Rui took the spring water he had called and gave Yun Qing: "Father, take a drink." Since Cui Mo's death in the battle, Yun Qing has been cold and has nothing to say to Brother Rui.
"Not thirsty." Recently, Yun Qing cherished his words like gold.
Brother Rui looked at Yun Qing's face full of scum, he was both distressed and worried: "Father, I know that Uncle Cui is very sad without you. But you have to take care of your health!"
"I'm fine."
Brother Rui had a bitter face. He really didn't know how to comfort people. It would be great if Ayou was here, he must know how to comfort his father.
Walking out of the tent, Brother Rui said to Sbornian bafflingly: "My father is not a problem if it goes on like this!" Yun Qing was in a depressed mood.
"I will be fine when I return to the capital." The empress is the smartest, she must know how to unlock the emperor.
Brother Rui nodded and said: "It can only be this way." Anyway, no matter how he persuades him, it is useless, and now he can only expect his mother.
On the day Yun Qing arrived in Beijing, Yuxi took Qihao and the important officials of the court to greet him at the gate of the capital.
Seeing Yun Qing who was so skinny, Yuxi felt distressed. She knew that Yun Qing would be sad when Cui Mo was killed in battle, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
Public places are not suitable for private conversation, and Yuxi sends Cui Mo's body to Cui's house along with Yun Qing.
When Tong saw the coffin, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he rushed to hug the coffin and cried: "Master, how can you leave me and leave like this. Master, what can I do if you leave..."
Too excited, Tong fainted again. Fortunately, Yuxi ordered the imperial hospital to send the imperial doctor to stay in Cui Mansion temporarily.
Yun Qing and Yuxi gave Cui Mo incense, and then returned to the palace after three bows.
On the way back to the palace, seeing the silence in the carriage, Qi Hao couldn't help but ask Brother Rui: "A Rui, why did Dad be like this?" After losing a lot of weight, his mental condition was also very poor.
Brother Rui sighed and said, "When Uncle Cui was gone, Dad cried. Since I was little, I have never seen Dad so sad."
Yun Qing taught their brothers from an early age that men shed blood and sweat, but couldn't shed tears. Since childhood, he has never seen Yun Qing cry. So seeing Yun Qing crying, Brother Rui was shocked.
Qi Hao was silent, and said, "Would you not persuade me?" See what his father is like. He hasn't seen his father so haggard since he was sensible.
"Persuaded, but unfortunately it's useless." Exhausting his lips and tongue, what can father do if he ignores him.
After speaking, Brother Rui looked at the surprisingly quiet carriage and said: "Now I only hope that my mother can help Dad."
Qi Hao's heart was heavy.
Upon seeing this, Brother Rui rode close to Qi Hao, and said in a voice that only two of them could hear: "Big brother, Cui Weiqi secretly raised a baby, and that baby gave Cui Weiqi a pair of twins. Brother. As far as I know, no one else in the Cui family knows about this."
"Then how did you know?"
Brother Rui felt that Qi Hao's eyes were the same as his father, and he was cold and scary: "I just heard Cui Weiqi talking with him next to him." He didn't want to listen to the corner, but it was so coincidental. Ran into it.
"This is the housework of the Cui family, we don't care about it." It doesn't matter whether the concubine or the outside room has nothing to do with them.
Brother Rui is not a gossip, and there is a reason for telling Qihao about this: "Brother, the woman and two children are in the capital now. What Cui Weiqi means is to let these two children recognize their ancestors." Return to the clan, and then put a linen and filial piety for Uncle Cui! Brother, if the Tang family is unwilling to accept these two children and cause trouble, then Uncle Cui's funeral will be ugly."
Speaking of which, Rui couldn't understand Cui Weiqi's behavior. If you want to take a concubine back to your mistress, it would be better to cross the clear road. You have to do anything secretly, making the child become a room outside the table.
However, A Rui is not interested in managing Cui Weiqi's personal affairs. It is also that Cui Mo is his respected predecessor, and now he has died for the country. He hopes that his funeral can be made lively, rather than being disturbed by these messy things.
Qi Hao raised his head and glanced at Brother Rui, then nodded comfortably: "I'll take care of this."
When Cui Weiqi was reluctant to marry Liu'er for a vanity-loving woman, Qihao knew that Cui Weiqi had no self-control in femininity. Although Feng Zhiao told Du Shao later that he had changed it, Qihao didn't believe it at all. The old saying goes well, a dog can't change eating shit. No, how long has it been since then.
Qi Hao is much more transparent than Brother Rui. Without checking, he knew that the identity of this woman would definitely not be on the stage.
Brother Rui will tell Qihao about this, and he is convinced that Qihao can handle it. Now that Qi Hao's words were received, he also let go of the matter.
Inside the carriage, Yuxi held Yun Qing's left hand with both hands, and leaned his head lightly on his shoulder. As for the comforting words, not a word was said.
After returning to the palace, Yuxi asked Yun Qing to take a shower. After she took the clothes, she went in and rubbed his back.
Yun Qing did not speak, and Yuxi did not speak either. Inside the clean room, it was a bit terrible.
After a long time, Yun Qing said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't let him go." If he resisted the pressure and refused to let Cui Mo lead his troops, Cui Mo would not die.
Yuxi didn't answer this, but said, "I let Mama Bai make clear noodle soup. After the bath, let's eat it!"
"Ok Hee..."
Gently stroking a two-finger scar on his back, Yuxi said softly, "What you have to do now is to eat and then go to sleep."
Without waiting for Yun Qing to speak, Yuxi said again: "We'll talk about this when you wake up, okay?" This tone is the same as before.
Yun Qing looked at Yuxi with pleading eyes, nodded softly and said, "Okay."
The clear noodle soup made with the old hen's broth is still very delicious. Yun Qing didn't have the slightest appetite during this period, but under Yuxi's eager anticipation, he still finished a bowl of clear noodle soup.
After eating, Yun Qing said to Yuxi: "I can't sleep alone, you can sleep with me!"
Yun Qing, who originally thought he would not fall asleep, didn't expect to fall asleep soon after holding Yuxi.
Listening to the familiar snoring, Yuxi narrowed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
When Qihao and Brother Rui went to Kunning Palace, they saw that it was quiet inside, and asked Meilan in a low voice: "Dad and mother are not in Kunning Palace, did they go to Qing Palace?"
Meilan smiled and shook her head, and then said in a mosquito-like voice: "The emperor has fallen asleep with the empress."
Brother Rui asked in surprise: "Really?" During the period from Tongcheng to Beijing, Brother Rui followed Yun Qing to take care of him. Knowing that since Cui Mo's death in battle, Yun Qing slept very restlessly, even if he did not fall asleep for a long time, he would wake up again.
Meilan nodded.
Since the two are asleep, there is no need for them to wait in Kunning Palace. Brother Rui said, "Big Brother, let's go and visit my eldest sister and Changsheng!" After only half a month away from Zaozao, there was nothing to think about. He went to the princess mansion to see Changsheng first, and secondly, he wanted Zaozao to pass something to Gao Haiqiong.
"Go! I'll go another day." Yun Qing and Yuxi both fell asleep, and he had to go and squat in the Qing Palace. Now, there are no urgent matters that need Yun Qing and Yuxi to deal with. As for his ordinary things, he can call the shots.
After dark, Yun Qing woke up. With a sweep of my hand, I felt that the side was empty. Turning his head, he saw Yuxi reviewing the notes under the soft candlelight.
Yun Qing walked to Yuxi and asked, "Just deal with these things directly in the Palace of Qianqing, why bother to move here."
Putting the papers away, Yuxi said with a smile: "There was nothing wrong just now, so let them move in. It's not an urgent matter, and it won't hurt to review it tomorrow." There are many things, but none of them need to be dealt with urgently.
"Have you finished your meal?"
"Waiting for you!" After that, Yuxi called Meilan to come in: "Let's set the meal!" Yuxi waited hungry, and just ate two pieces of pastry to cushion her belly.
After a good night's sleep, Yun Qing's mood was not as heavy as before.
After dinner, Yuxi smiled and said, "Let’s go for a walk in the garden. You have not walked with me for a long time."
"good."
The imperial garden at night is just as beautiful and intoxicating. Yuxi walked among the flowers and said softly: "Herui, you said this afternoon that you shouldn't let Cui Mo lead your troops to kill the enemy."
Yun Qing was silent and said, "If Cui Mo was not allowed to lead his cavalry to fight the Donghu people head-on, he would not die."
Yuxi did not comment on this moment, but asked: "Herui, if time goes back, would you really stop Cui Mo from leading the army?"
Before Yun Qing could answer, Yuxi shook his head and said, "If time goes back, you will still agree to Cui Mo and let him lead the war."
Yun Qing rolled his throat several times, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute.
"Herui, you had no room for rejection in that situation at the time." Cui Mo forced Yun Qing into a blind spot, and he couldn't help but object.
Yun Qing did not allow Cui Mo to lead his troops to fight with the Donghu people, but to protect him. But in this way, his image will be damaged and morale will also be affected. Cui Mo must have seen this at the same time, so he forced Yun Qing to agree with him to lead the army.
