Yunqi Jiangxin

In the afternoon of the next day, the chief executive of Renxintang came to the palace with chief procurement officer Xiao from the inner court. The two walked on the clean and level path, talking and walking all the way.

Laisheng was still the same as every time he came here, wearing a dark cotton robe, but Director Xiao did not dare to underestimate this simple and ordinary old man. Supporting the medicinal herbs at the border, even giving out porridge and giving medicines when the previous dynasty was in turmoil, can be described as patriotic and loving.But when Huangyu founded the country, Renxintang, which reopened for business, became Huangyu's inner court drug dealer again. The emperor obviously didn't say anything, but there are so many rich people who have been named imperial merchants, which one is not rushing to take it Rare things just for His Majesty to see?

It happened that His Majesty met secretly, only this Renxintang.He even agreed to the chief executive's visit twice a year, and with such favor from the cold-hearted emperor, how could Director Xiao dare to neglect.

"Come to the chief manager, are you still used to the scene this time? The Spring Festival is coming soon, is it snowing in Ganzhou?"

Hearing Director Xiao's enthusiastic questioning, Lai Sheng nodded with a smile: "I'm used to it. It finally snowed in Ganzhou some time ago. I used to come to Jingdu occasionally. Now it's more prosperous here."

"That's right, when His Majesty was still in the north, he was wise and wise, and now he is even more able to govern the country."

"Yes!" The two of them were talking, the imperial study room arrived, Director Xiao waited outside the door after reporting, and Lai Sheng followed Eunuch An in respectfully.

Long Xiuxiu was reviewing the memorial. His complexion looked good, but there was a bandage on his left palm. Lai Sheng was surprised. Seeing that there was no outsider, he hurriedly asked with concern, "Why is Your Majesty injured?"

Long Xiu stopped writing, waved his hands and was unwilling to say anything. Seeing the expression on the face of Eunuch An, who came to Shengsheng, he also guessed a little bit, and he first explained the important things of the past six months concisely and clearly. I have sent letters through the secret guards, but this time I just made some supplements or conclusions, and there are still some things that are inconvenient to write, so I will say more carefully.

Long Xiu listened intently, nodded after listening, and said, "We need to pay more attention to things in the south."

Lai Sheng nodded and said yes, and then he handed over the burden that he had been holding in his hand just now, Mr. Xiao must have thought it was a rare treasure, but when he opened it, he found two white jade jugs, which were Long Xiu's favorite Longquan when he was in Ganzhou Every year, ten pots come out in winter, and Lai Sheng finally bought two pots, and brought them all. It is not a treasure, but it is rare but real.

Long Xiu nodded his thanks, and then Lai Sheng said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the lord is awake." Long Xiu nodded, and Lai Sheng said: "This time there are a batch of very good general medicinal materials, I hope your lord recover sooner.”

Long Xiu knew that Lai Sheng wanted to see Rong Xun, but remembering last night, he said, "If you want to see him, it's either in a few days or next time."

Lai Sheng nodded and said: "Ganzhou affairs cannot be delayed, let's do it next time." After a pause, he said: "When I was leaving for Concubine Shu, I met by chance in the Jingdu store. What the adult said to my subordinates that day, The subordinate has been feeling uneasy, and really wants to apologize in person.”

Long Xiu was taken aback, and asked what he had said, and Laisheng said the words that Rong Xun expressed his gratitude to him on behalf of the people and Zhang Bei that day. Long Xiu's face was serious after hearing this, and he said after a long time: "If you want to apologize, it should be me. You don't have to worry about it, see him next time you come."

"Yes." Laisheng knelt down, bowed slightly to Eunuch An, and withdrew.

Not long after Laisheng left, a maid came to the notification area outside the door, Eunuch An saw her nodding and looked sad, so he said to Long Xiu: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is awake, I'm afraid he is refusing to take medicine. "

Long Xiu asked him to bring the wine and walked to the bedroom.Walking along the way, the situation of last night came to mind again.

Last night, I indulged myself a few times, and it was so ruthless, Rong Xun didn't know when he touched the black jade hairpin on his head, and stabbed at his chest without thinking, if Long Xiu hadn't reacted quickly and blocked it with his palm, I'm afraid that Rong Xun will be stabbed in the heart and die in front of him.

Long Xiu was so frightened by his actions that he broke out in sweat again. When the tide of emotion subsided, he thought for a second, ignoring the sharp pain and bleeding wound on his palm, pulled out the hairpin, threw it far away, and sighed helplessly. Said: "Rong Xun, if you hate me, why don't you stab me in the heart?" He carefully inspected the position of Rong Xun's heart, and after confirming that there was no injury, he asked again: "Since everyone will escape, it is time to prepare Live well, don't you?"

Rong Xun had been bullied by him so much that his eyes were blurred with tears, and he couldn't hide the grievance in his heart. Seeing the hairpin being thrown away, he just cried and said, "It's because of me that you didn't let them go. I'm the tiger, it's me..."

Only then did Long Xiu realize that Rong Xun must have reacted, and blamed himself for the deaths of those prisoners.He sighed, wanting to explain, but also wanting to stop him altogether. He was speechless for a moment, so he could only rub him into his arms and tease him to make him fall into a deep sleep.

It's just that once he has this thought, he probably won't let himself go.

"Is it arranged over there?" He asked Eunuch Xiang An, seeing him nodding, he quickened his pace.

Just as Long Xiu was thinking about it along the way, Rong Xun was lying on the bed, thinking about how to end himself.

When he woke up again, it seemed like an incomparably long time had passed. The light passed through his sore eyelids, bringing a dazed dizziness.Rong Xun moved, feeling the clean bedding and refreshing body, the memory of falling into the abyss seemed to be just a nightmare.But those pains biting every inch of the body, shallow or deep, reminded the raging and absurdity of the previous night.

It wasn't until last night that he fully understood Long Xiu's plan. No matter how long, Long Xiu really wanted him to have no way out and imprison him here for him to fiddle with. Those prisoners of war don't have to die, but as long as the "Sixth Highness" is alive, Or reveal a little news, and those soldiers scattered all over the country will become terrifying.

He really didn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but those soldiers were not tigers.

Zhen'er came over again and brought over the hot medicine bowl, surrounded by a row of maids carrying toiletries.Rong Xun didn't want to move a single finger, so he shook his head, but saw Long Xiu walk in, with a layer of gauze wrapped around his wrist, he went to the bed and sat down, picked Rong Xun into his arms, and then Guo Zhen'er handed over the silk scarf to help Rong Xun clean his face, and took a mouthwash cup to watch Rong Xun rinse his mouth, then scooped up a spoonful of medicated porridge carefully prepared by the Imperial Dining Room, and brought it to Rong Xun's mouth.

From the beginning to the end, Rong Xun didn't struggle or resist at all. He looked at the color of the ointment faintly leaking from the gauze in Rong Xun's palm, and finally said: "Your Majesty, kill me, and save a lot of trying to prevent it."

After Long Xiu listened, he didn't say anything for a long time. He put down the spoon and glanced at Eunuch An. Eunuch An immediately understood and called the maids to come in one after another.Rong Xun didn't know what Long Xiu was up to, and he didn't care. He let him play with his clothes, shoes and socks, and then put on a heavy cloak. Not exposed.Walking outside the hall, a carriage was already waiting. Long Xiu carried him into the carriage, put him on the cushion and sat down. Not long after, the carriage set off smoothly.

"If you can't accept the consequences of doing your part, and insist on shouldering the responsibility of the country's ruin and family destruction, I can't force you." There are small windows with checkered curtains on both sides of the carriage, and Rong Xun looks out of the window The scenery gradually changed from the palace to the streets and alleys of the city, and finally heard Long Xiu speak.He looked at Rong Xun, and returned to silence after speaking every word.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and Rong Xun looked outside, it was the entrance of a temple called Fayun Temple.The end of the year is approaching, and people of all colors come and go in an endless stream. At this time, an indigo cloth soft sedan stopped at the gate of the temple not far from the carriage, and a pretty girl in a light bamboo-colored skirt jumped down. Falling into Rong Xun's line of sight, thinking about who was the daughter in the sedan chair, Rong Xun planned to look away, but the girl had already stretched out her hand to help her master out, and Rong Xun half stood up in shock for a while.

It's his sister, Changle.

Quickly adjusted his breathing, Rong Xun glanced at Long Xiu, who was not surprised, and put his face close to the edge of the window as if confirming, looking at the slightly round woman in a thick cloak, she was indeed the one he grew up watching Sister, "You said that the father knew that the country would not be far away, so he summoned all the princes and daughters and killed them with his own hands." He watched Chang Le walk into the temple supported by the girl, and said slowly.

"The year Concubine Shu passed away, I arranged for someone to go to Princess Changle's side." Long Xiu answered slowly, got up and picked him up again, got off the sedan chair, put him down at the gate of the temple, and helped him in. Walking, Rong Xun's whole body was still in a state of collapse, and he still managed to find the trace of Chang Le, and finally saw her in a corner not far away, talking with a kind-faced old monk, Long Xiu did not hesitate to support him. Instead, he was led to a small secluded room, and then went behind a screen to let him sit on an upholstered chair.

When Rong Xun saw the maid, he already thought of the girl Chang Le mentioned in his letter, and he already understood most of it in his heart. Since everything was arranged by Long Xiu, he was not in a hurry to speak, and waited quietly.Soon, the door opened with a creak, and a girl's bright voice said that she was going to add incense and arrange a carriage, and left.

Only Rong Xun, Long Xiu and Chang Le were left in the room.Chang Le obviously didn't know that there were other people in the room. She looked at the altar on one side of the inner wall of the small room, lit incense and kowtowed neatly, then took out a handkerchief and took off several tablets and slowly wiped it until one of the tablets was wiped. Before she could speak, her eyes were already red.

"Brother Jinglin, I came to see you. It's very cold today, but Dr. Liao came to check his pulse in the morning. My child and I are fine. Don't miss us."

When Rong Xun heard the word Jinglin, he was puzzled. He met that fair man on the street that day. Did he not expect him to die?

Rong Xun felt disappointed, and heard Chang Le continue to say: "I only came here two days ago, and I was supposed to come back later, but after Zhiqu said it was still colder, I might as well come to see you again today, and then stay at home, so as not to worry about you I thought so too, don't think I miss you too much."

She carefully put the tablet back to its original place, and talked about everyday things as if she was used to it. Tears streamed down her cheeks just as she spoke. Brother, I...I miss you very much...Chang Le wants to accompany you very much, but can you forgive Chang Le, Chang Le wants to raise the child and see him live happily."

Chang Le couldn't help crying anymore, Rong Xun's eyes were red and he turned his head, unable to bear to listen any longer.There was a knock on the door, and the girl whispered outside the door that the carriage was ready.Chang Le got up, lit a new incense offering, and said: "By the way, Dr. Liao came to check the pulse today, everything is fine, but it's still not sure if it's a man or a woman, but Jing Lin and I have already decided on the names. Now, if it’s a boy, it’s called Ruoxun, if it’s a girl, it’s called Qingtian, Concubine Mu, Brother Qiyun, if you feel bad, remember to entrust me with a dream..."

After speaking, he sobbed a few more times, then said goodbye reluctantly, opened the door and walked slowly.

The room became silent again, Rong Xun stood up, walked to the front of the screen, in the dim room, the memorial tablets behind the altar table caught his eyes, it was the stone mansion full of memorial tablets, densely arranged on the entire wall, he himself The ranking with the mother and concubine is also in the middle of the front row.

Thinking of Changle's cry just now, and seeing the tablets of Shi Yulou and Shi Chuanhai, Rong Xun felt a pain in his heart, so he knelt down.

Shi Yulou fought all his life, and he was not afraid of people's words, and brought the son of "evil spirit" with him. Princess Ruoshu was his mother, and Shi Yulou was the real father in Rong Xun's life.This person who never forgets to encourage him to live a good life, now he doesn't know where his soul is, and his eldest son, Shi Chuanhai, grew up with him like a real brother, and saved himself from the enemy's sword many times return.Before he died, he did not forget to tell him, "If you don't die in battle, you can live well."

Rong Xun didn't know what Shi Chuanhai knew, but when he thought of the tunnel in Tinglu Hall, when he knew nothing, Shi Chuanhai's investigation of Renxintang and Zhang Bei, and thought of him pushing himself aside and getting poisoned After his death, Rong Xun could no longer control himself, kowtowed and cried.

Long Xiu stood aside, neither stopping nor speaking, the Shi family is full of loyalty, and even his grandfather has been deeply jealous of him for many years, the death of Shi Chuanhai is both a pity for him, and it cannot be denied that he was relieved.He looked at Rong Xun's slightly trembling shoulders, and after a long time, he walked forward and lit a stick of incense.

Although you may not want to, let Rong Xun leave it to me.
