After sending off Gong Ziyin, Chu Jiuge wanted to read a book quietly for a while, but at this time, a palace maid informed her that it was Lin Kaifu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asking to see her.

It has been a long time since Chu Jiuge retired from the imperial court, and he hardly ever showed his face in court. Few officials knew him, so naturally they would not come to visit him. What's more, I heard that the newly appointed ministers had just passed the imperial examination Most of the people who passed the exam were young people with high ambitions. It seemed that the first fire was going to be set on him.

"Please come in quickly."

Chu Jiuge brushed off the folds of the thin quilt on his knees, trying to maintain an elegant image, while letting the maid push him to meet the Minister of Rites in the main hall.

Lin Kaifu was still dressed in court clothes. After entering the door, he bowed in the direction of Chu Jiuge first, and reported his name and official position, "I know it's very rude to come to Weiyang Palace to meet the national teacher, but there are some things But I have to say, for fear of delaying the time, please forgive me for my rudeness."

"Lin Shangshu doesn't need to be too polite. If you have something to say, please speak up. If you can do it, I will do like a dog and a horse." As he said, Chu Jiuge ordered the maid to show Lin Kaifu a seat, but the latter declined, and was in the middle of Chu. When Jiu Ge was puzzled, Lin Kaifu actually knelt in front of him.

Chu Jiuge could afford such a big gift, so he hurriedly wanted to help him, and almost fell off the wheelchair. When the maid came to help him, he ordered the maid to help Lin Kaifu up quickly. He probably already guessed Lin Kaifu's request in his heart. point.

"Although I have not been in the court for a short time, I have been an official in the local area for some time. Regardless of this, I have been a commoner in the southern country for more than [-] years. Since I was appointed as an official of the court, I have fulfilled my duties and have never dared to make a mistake. , I came here today because I was entrusted by other officials... There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the one who has no descendants is the greatest, the king is a rare wise emperor in history, and now he is in his prime, but..."

This Lin Kaifu was nagging, Gu Zuoyou talked about him for a long time, and it was exactly as Chu Jiuge expected, the thing he came to beg him for was to ask him to blow the pillow, let him stand as a queen, let him accept a concubine, Let him fill the royal family with heirs, all of this is within his expectations.

Where in the world is there an impenetrable wall, Chu Jiuge has lived in this Weiyang Palace for so long, there will naturally be turmoil among the people, but he and Xun Sui's reputations are not bad, one is a wise king who expanded the territory, and the other is a loyal one It is a good story to spread among the people, but he will still be criticized because he is not a woman and cannot leave him an offspring.

Chu Jiuge himself knew that he was a burden to Xun Sui, and he couldn't delay him for too long, because he was afraid of leaving a stain on his name.Chu Jiuge originally thought that he would not live long, so he hoped to stay by Xie Sui's side while he was alive, and selfishly did not want him to be possessed by anyone, but he did not expect that he would be so fateful, with the poison of witchcraft in his body , There is also Mo Huaichun's wonderful hand rejuvenation.

The years he has stolen have made him more selfish, and the tenderness that Xi Sui gave him has made him want to monopolize him even more. In the early years, he might have been able to accompany his smiling face to ask for the concubine Xi Sui, but now he seems to want him life is as painful.

"Lin Shangshu doesn't need to say too much. You came here because you know what kind of identity I am staying with him. I am also a human being, and I also have emotions and desires. I love him more than you can imagine. Your request is beyond me. It's hard to bear the burden."

"However, Emperor Wen made Han Zigao his queen in the previous dynasty. Now it's a troubled time, and His Highness can only be the male favorite of Anling in Longyang. If he lives in the harem, it may affect the reputation of the King and His Highness."

Chu Jiuge didn't intend to listen to Lin Kaifu's request to persuade Zi Sui to accept the concubine, but now his words really hurt Chu Jiuge.He never disrupted the government, nor did he have any unreasonable thoughts. He just wanted to stay by his side. Could it be that even such a humble wish could not satisfy him?

The news of Lin Kaifu's previous visit would naturally spread to Xi Sui's ears. The latter was afraid that Chu Jiuge would be hurt by a few words from the Minister of Rites, so he came back from the Chaohe Palace early, intending to find out the truth.

"If the minister's words are not pleasant, I will dismiss him tomorrow."

"Don't." Chu Jiuge stopped immediately, "He is doing this for your reputation, not to mention, filling up your heirs is your top priority now, and the court doesn't know that he thinks this way, if you really dismiss him , I am afraid that I will really become a tyrant."

Speaking of this, Xi Sui asked back: "Do you also think I should concubine and have a child?"

Chu Jiuge didn't dare to look directly into Xun Sui's eyes, lowered his head, unwilling to answer, and Xun Sui knew the answer was yes.

Sui Sui was thinking about what to say to make Chu Jiuge change his mind. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the painting with brand-new handwriting on the table. After staring at it for a while, he understood the meaning. He stepped forward and squatted in front of Chu Jiuge's wheelchair. , holding his cheek so that he must look directly into his eyes.

"Listen well, Feng has been bathed in blood and nirvana, just when he regained his senses and realized that he has done so many ruthless things to Huang. For the rest of his life, Feng doesn't want Huang to suffer anymore, and hopes that his short life can be accompanied by Huang, understand? "

Gentle tone, sincere eyes.Chu Jiuge couldn't resist this temptation, and suddenly, tears were already on his breasts.

The past grievances, fears, and the joy of regaining what was lost all exploded at this moment. Chu Jiuge, who had never said a word even though he was tortured by pain, hid in his arms like a child at this moment Crying pear blossoms bring rain.

Xun Sui knew that he owed this person too much, even if he gave him his only life, it would not be enough.He never extravagantly asked for his forgiveness, nor did he think that one day, God would give him a chance to redeem his sins.But since the time is quiet at this moment, he wants to let time stop at this moment forever, no matter the age, life or death.

Chu Jiuge was tired from crying, so he leaned on Xi Sui's shoulder and fell asleep lightly. Knowing that he had never slept well, Xi Sui didn't lift him up, for fear of waking him up.The tears on Chu Jiuge's face were still wet, so he stretched out his tongue to lick away the tears for him.

It really is bitter.

Since his mother passed away, Xi Sui has never shed any tears. He even forgot what it feels like to have wet eyes. He always heard people say that tears are bitter because they are filled with the bitterness of life. If this is true, Chu Jiuge’s Tears should be tears of blood. His life was more than bitter.

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't think of any reason to stop the officials in the court. Of course he didn't want to accept a concubine. After all, he only had room for Chu Jiuge in his heart, but if he really had no descendants, Not to mention being criticized by the world, who is going to inherit the world he has conquered?

At the moment of hesitation, Hua Yilian rushed to visit with an ancient book in his pocket. He never liked to knock on the door. This palace is like an imperial kitchen. He always relies on rushing wherever he wants to go. Now he bumps into his brother Wang and Chu Jiu In the intimate scene of Song, Hua Yilian swallowed the last mouthful of bean buns in embarrassment, and turned around to leave.

Unfortunately, the panic in his heart was manifested in his actions, and he just kicked the door frame impartially. Hua Yilian clutched his legs and jumped on the spot a few times without daring to make a sound, but it still woke up Chu Jiuge. Leaving awkwardly, looking at Hua Yilian with some resentment in his eyes.

"Uh...that...how about I go out and you guys continue?"

"Fart, let go." Xun Sui got up and stretched his slightly numb legs, and tightened the coat that Chu Jiuge was wearing. The latter had just woken up from sleep, and his mind was still in a trance, squinting his eyes and sympathizing with Hua After looking in the direction of him for a long time, he asked vaguely, "What's the matter?"

Hua Yilian looked like a child who did something wrong, lowered her head and glanced at Zi Sui, walked to the latter's side, took out a warm bean bag from her pocket, poked Zi Sui with her elbow, and asked: " do you want?"

"Get out." His patience seemed to have reached its limit. If Chu Jiuge wasn't present, he would definitely have to settle the old and new vendettas on Hua Yilian's head. Now he can't wait to beat him to his knees!

Of course, Hua Yilian also knows that he just smashed a good thing. He would rather demolish ten bridges than beat a pair of mandarin ducks. , Xun Sui will definitely kill him later...

"Well, let me ask...uh..."

"Don't hesitate, you don't know what to do here?"

Hua Yilian was about to drip cold sweat, he wanted to ask Chu Jiuge if he felt anything was wrong when he was in Kunlun, but how could he say such things in front of Xi Sui?His brother Wang has been famous for pampering Chu Jiuge recently, but he is lucky to force this jealous lover to recall the painful past in front of him, why not swallow him alive?

Hua Yilian also knew that if he really felt that something was wrong, Chu Jiuge would suspect it first. He must bear some things to the end alone, so as not to let anyone feel sad about it, but he just hugged That glimmer of hope, looking forward to find some clues.

"I... I'm here to visit." This reason sounds reasonable, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

"Jiu Ge is tired, you go out and wait for me first."

It's fine if you go out, but you still have to wait for him?

Hua Yilian knew that this was his doomsday, and his prince brother was finally going to attack him, and while crying in his heart, he was thinking about how to get out.

"Don't embarrass him, he didn't do anything bad, he's just a bit greedy." When Xun Sui carried Chu Jiuge to the bed, the latter said so.

"Of course, he is also my younger brother, and I won't force him."

After Chu Jiuge settled down, Xi Sui tucked his quilt tightly, told him to rest well, and he would be back soon, so he ordered someone to call Mo Huaichun to guard him.

Hua Yilian knew that her brother Wang had really regained her senses, and that she really loved Chu Jiuge. Feelings cannot be faked. Only true feelings can impress outsiders.

Like, for example, himself.
