Martial Cultivator

Whether it is the Xie family, Song Lian, or the second prince, they are actually just showing their attitude, that is, the three families support the Chen Dynasty. As for whether the Chen Dynasty can win the championship, it is not really important.

Regardless of whether Chen Chao wins the championship or not, he will definitely become the hottest young man in the Liang Dynasty, so the big shots don't care about this at all.

Chen Chao didn't know that those big shots were showing their support for him with huge amounts of money. If he had known, he would have cried and shouted at them not to go to such trouble and just give him all the money.

He has been preparing for the final martial arts test these days.

After Xie Nandu won the first prize in the literary examination, he was really under pressure now. Just like the Empress said, you can't be inferior to women, right? Especially a woman he likes.

Song Lian walked into the small, low house alone today.

The woman was washing clothes in the middle of the yard. She looked at Song Lian who was carrying a bag of rice. She frowned and said with some displeasure, "Why did you buy such a big bag of rice again? Do you really want to be so open to me?"

Song Lian didn't even raise his head and said casually, "I can't finish the food from the yamen alone. If I put it over there, there will be worms. If I give it to you to eat, it's not wasted."

He had told the woman a few days ago that he was working as an errand in a certain government office. He thought he was not a big shot, just an ordinary errand with not much salary for a month. .🅆.

The woman was not too doubtful about this statement, but she was a little envious and said, "What kind of yamen is this? Why are you giving out stuff every day?"

Song Lian did not answer, but skillfully poured the rice on his shoulders into the rice vat, then poured a bowl of tea. After drinking a large bowl, he dragged a bench and sat down in the yard, taking a picture. Dusted himself off.

The woman looked up and found no second person, so she asked curiously, "Where's Mr. Chen? Why don't you see him today?"

"The boy has an exam in the past two days, and he is studying at the moment. He is also hungry for your food, and asked me to bring some back to him later."

Song Lian's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. When he told lies, he was no longer the same person as before.

After hearing this, the woman quickly stood up, put her hands on her body and wiped them with a smile on her face, complaining, "I want to eat this, why don't I come here in person? Isn't it good to eat hot food? This There’s no time.”

As she spoke, she quickly went in to wash and cook rice.

Song Lian naturally sat in front of the wooden basin and was about to start washing clothes.

The woman was inside, heard the noise outside, and said quickly, "Don't do these things. Last time you washed several clothes for me, and I lost a lot of money!"

Hearing this, Song Lian retracted his hand in a sullen voice. He, a martial artist from the other side, had never done these things before. When he washed the clothes, he naturally did not take it lightly or seriously.

"If you really can't stay idle, chop those firewood."

"good."

"By the way, there is no water left in the water tank. Help me fill it up later."

"good."

"There are some loose tiles on my house. It always leaks when it rains. If you are free, please help me take a look. It is too high and I can't climb up."

"good."

"you can

I can't say more than two sentences, why is it always the same word? "

"OK."

"Song Lian, you are such an unpleasant person."

"I don't think so."

…

…

When the Wanliu Hui was held, the Daliang Dynasty's court meetings actually never stopped for a day. The Daliang Emperor appeared at the court meetings every day. Even after the court dismissed, he never said that he had gone to the lakeside to take a look at the literary test. , Daliang Chao had prepared a lot for the Wanliu Hui, but looking at the Emperor of Daliang like this, it seemed that the Wanliu Hui was no longer an important matter.

In fact, in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, there is indeed another thing that is much more important than the current Wanliu Society.

It's the queen's body.

The Empress has always been in poor health. Countless famous doctors have come to diagnose and treat the Empress over the years, but all of them have no choice but to prescribe some precious elixirs to keep the Empress warm and healthy. Cure it completely.

Even after using the best elixir, the queen's body was still getting weaker day by day, and now it was even worse.

The Queen has been bedridden since the day before yesterday.

Today, the court has not yet dispersed. Emperor Liang interrupted the court meeting uneasily, dispersed early, and returned to the harem.

He did not ask anyone to set up the chariot, but walked alone towards the Queen's palace. Along the way, countless palace and chamberlains saw the Emperor of Liang walking by, and they knelt down silently. His Majesty the Emperor did not pay much attention to it. , and after walking alone, they came to the Queen's palace.

Standing outside the palace, he glanced at the people coming in and out of the palace. Emperor Liang's expression changed from ugly to gentle. After he smiled slightly, he slowly walked in.

It was still midsummer, but there was a lot of heat in the palace. Those ordinary talismans would not be lacking here, but in fact it was because the queen's body was extremely weak and she was in desperate need of warmth. That's why this palace is full of talismans, not to cool down, but to heat up.

Emperor Liang came to the bed and sat down slowly. Looking at the woman who had lost a lot of weight, the pain in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Feeling the difference around her, the Queen opened her eyes slightly, and found that Emperor Liang was indeed here. She glanced outside, and then said with some effort, "Your Majesty, it's not time to leave the court yet."

There was a slight anger in her voice, but it was not strong, but more helpless.

That is what helplessness means.

Emperor Liang frowned and said with some displeasure, "You are sick. I said that I would not hold court meetings and come to accompany you. You said that I was neglecting state affairs, so I have never done so. Now it is just time for the court to disperse." It’s early, do you want to say that?”

The empress said softly, "Your Majesty is the lord of the world. If you don't want to listen to me, you can do it. I can also ask your Majesty for forgiveness."

After hearing this, Emperor Liang frowned and said a little aggrievedly, "What are you talking about? I just want to spend more time with you. I spend so much time with this world, but so little with you. Now I I just want to get some time back. If you’re not happy, I won’t be like this anymore.”

After hearing this, the Queen smiled and said softly, "Now I can still say a few words. When I am gone, who can restrain Your Majesty? The Imperial Master has passed away long ago. I want to tell you about your sons." He won't listen either. As for those censors, why did your majesty care about them?"

Emperor Liang shook his head and said, "Queen, you will stay with me for many more years. Why are you talking about this?"

"Your Majesty, don't deceive yourself. Don't you know how my body is? It's just that I really don't want to die at this moment, and I don't know if I can survive until the child enters the palace again."

There was some emotion in her eyes, which was for Chen Chao.

Emperor Liang said, "If you want to see that child, just let the child enter the palace and take another look before the martial arts test begins?" .🅆.

"Forget it, I don't want to distract him. Besides, I've seen it before. If I can wait until he comes back from the martial arts test, I'll really tell you something I know."

The Empress looked at Emperor Liang and said softly, "I know that Your Majesty is not sure of his identity even now, but I can be sure that he is that child."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask why I am so sure. Some things really don't make sense."

Emperor Liang smiled and said, "Since you said so, I believe it."

The queen nodded and said in memory, "That girl was not born well. No one in the family liked her very much, and her mother hated her very much. For these things, her father had to hide in the north. The whole family , so she talked more to me. Later, I thought she had a good ending, but she didn't expect that the result was still so bad. Her life was very miserable. "

Emperor Liang did not speak.

Of course he knew those stories.

The Empress said, "I still remember the girl's appearance on the day she was brought into the house. She was timid, with fear in her eyebrows."

Thinking of that long-lost old friend, the Queen's expression became somewhat nostalgic.

Emperor Liang looked at her and said, "Sometimes I wonder, if I had never raised troops to fight that battle, would you have been free from these crimes?"

The Empress shook her head and said with a smile, "If Your Majesty had not fought that battle, the world would not be better off, and it would not be a good outcome for Your Majesty. Being deprived of your title and put under house arrest for the rest of your life is probably the best life for Your Majesty. It's just that According to the child's temper, if it is more than that, His Majesty may not be able to save his life, but the most important thing is that without His Majesty in the world, how can Daliang be where he is today? "

Emperor Liang laughed at himself, "Why am I so irreplaceable?"

The Queen was not in a hurry to speak anymore. She just looked not far away. The palace lantern in the distance had not been lit yet. She didn't know if she could still see the palace lantern being lit. Even if she could see it, she could still see it. How many days?

She recalled meeting the prince by the lakeside when she was young. The first meeting between the two was not a wonderful one.

, but the story that follows can really be regarded as a model for emperors and empresses of all generations. I am afraid that such a story has not existed before, and it will be difficult to have it in the future.

"Your Majesty, after seeing that girl, I am very satisfied. Since she also likes that child, don't let her make those meaningless choices again."

Emperor Liang looked at her and said, "Of course."

"I gave her the bracelet that my mother gave to me."

The queen smiled, she was really happy.

Emperor Liang joked, "When the eldest brother got married, I thought you were going to give her the bracelet, but it didn't happen. When the second eldest brother got married, I thought the same thing, but it still didn't happen. So I thought you were going to give her the bracelet." It belongs to the third wife, but I didn’t expect that you gave it to that girl.”

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't see how panicked the child was when I scared him. This child, no matter how calm he is, is actually a bit childish in front of the things he cares about, but he is originally I don’t have anything. I finally have a girl I like. If someone robs me, I don’t know how sad I will be.”

"Yes, so you have to put that girl firmly in his hand now."

The queen said, "Our family owes their family a lot, but this is not my reason. I just don't want him to be wronged. I don't want him to be wronged for the rest of his life like that girl."

Emperor Liang did not speak, because he could already see that the empress in front of him was very tired.

The Queen indeed felt that her eyelids were too heavy to open, so she closed her eyes slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I will sleep for a while. When the sunset is nice, I will accompany your Majesty to watch the sunset."

Emperor Liang nodded and smiled and said, "Go to sleep, I will call you later."

He stood up and covered the sleeping queen with the quilt.

Then he stood up slowly, came to the door, and looked at the sun, which was only noon.

All the palace people did not dare to make a sound here.

They all knew that His Majesty the Emperor was the most gentle when he was around the Empress, but now that the Empress was like this, it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor must be in a very bad mood at this moment.

"Call the imperial doctors, I want to see them."

Emperor Liang looked into the distance and said in a tired voice, "Dean Xuan, please come into the palace."

After saying these two sentences, Emperor Liang became a little tired and sat down on the threshold.

He looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, but what he thought about most was the woman who once sat next to him.

He had such a woman for the first half of his life, but he didn't know about it for the rest of his life.

They met when they were young and have been together for half their lives. There has never been any suspicion or anything else. The relationship between the two is completely incomprehensible to outsiders. It has nothing to do with status or anything else, only the simplest love.

He was a little sad, but couldn't cry.

He is the emperor and cannot cry in front of the world.

Emperor Liang looked at the stone steps in front of him and said softly, "How wonderful it would be if we were still young."
