[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

"Oh!" Tan Muqiu threw the handkerchief suddenly, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to miss it early."

Zhao Qingming didn't react when he heard the words, but just stood aside and looked at the other party calmly.Feeling the other party's gaze, Tan Muqiu felt a little guilty for no reason, and didn't dare to look back for a while, so he had to turn his head away.

After a long silence, Zhao Qingming picked up the handkerchief and asked, "Why?"

Tan Muqiu's thoughts changed sharply, and he guessed that the other party's question was not about his own such-and-such thing last night, but about arson, so he coughed lightly and said, "I took something, and I didn't want others to find out, so I let it go." Set fire."

Thinking of this, Tan Muqiu suddenly touched his pocket, realized that he had changed his clothes, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Qingming.The other party still stared at him with a blank face, without saying a word.

"Give me the things." Tan Muqiu said without arrogance.In the past, when he got along with Zhao Qingming, he always behaved in his own way, but if Zhao Qingming lost his temper, he would naturally restrain himself a lot. This way of getting along has become a tacit understanding between the two.

Zhao Qingming seemed to turn a deaf ear, and still looked at Tan Muqiu coldly with no expression on his face.

Tan Muqiu sighed, had to put the matter aside first, and then explained: "Last night... King Ning An went to the Qin Mansion."

Zhao Qingming's face changed, remembering that Tan Muqiu threatened him not to go to the Qin Mansion yesterday, so it was because of this?

"There is a very important thing in the mansion, I don't want it to fall into other people's hands." Tan Muqiu said, "I didn't want to set fire to it, but after drinking too much, I thought it was just a house, and I kept it for others to remember. It’s better to set it on fire.”

Zhao Qingming's face became even more ugly.

Seeing the other party's face, Qin Muqiu felt a little sorry for a moment, and said, "I accidentally passed out last night, and I didn't intend to burn myself to death." Seeing the other party's expression softened, he continued: "Thanks to you Act in time, or I will become a roast goose."

Zhao Qingming was silent for a moment, and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Tan Muqiu was taken aback, and said, "Didn't I already tell you, what I told was the truth." After speaking, he looked at the other party cautiously and said, "You should know where that thing is, right?"

Zhao Qingming's face darkened, and he took out an exquisite purse from his arms and handed it to the other party. The other party looked happy, and after receiving the purse, Zhao Qingming said, "Why didn't you tell me who you are?"

Tan Muqiu's hand holding the purse froze in the air, looking at the other party in surprise, his heart skipped a beat.From the eyes of the other party, he instantly judged that the other party knew his identity.

"I... Didn't I already tell you, don't you believe me?" Tan Muqiu tried to argue.

Zhao Qingming's face turned ugly again, and he suddenly sighed.

Tan Muqiu looked at him carefully, for fear that he would pursue him to the end, but it seemed that the other party didn't intend to ask any more, but he felt a little disappointed.I don't know when it started, Tan Muqiu didn't seem to want to keep hiding his identity from the other party.

He also knew in his heart that sooner or later he couldn't hide it.

Zhao Qingming knows himself too well.

However, the longer some things are kept secret, the harder it is to tell.

"I asked Duan Wu to go to Rong An with my token, and said that you have been unwell for the past few days, and you will be exempted from the morning." Zhao Qingming changed the subject.

Qin Muqiu answered absent-mindedly. He had inexplicable trust in the other party, so naturally he would not question the other party's arrangement.And he was still troubled by what happened just now, although the other party didn't ask, they already knew each other well.

Zhao Qingming washed the handkerchief in the water basin, put it on the wooden stand beside him, and picked up the water basin to go out.

Taking off Li Yu's mask and facing Zhao Qingming, Tan Muqiu suddenly felt that he was beaten back to his original shape and turned into that 14-year-old boy again. He said in a strange way: "I'm sorry."

Zhao Qingming's back froze, he stopped in place for a moment, and finally went out without turning around.

After a while, Zhao Qingming came in with breakfast, and the two sat opposite each other across the low table.

Zhao Qingming broke half of the cake and gave it to the other party, and the other party took a bite. For a moment, both of them had an illusion, as if they had returned to the scene of eating together when they were teenagers.

"When did you recognize me?" Tan Muqiu asked.

"I couldn't believe it before, but after you lied to me by making up Wu Feng's identity, I was sure it was you. If it were your servant, it would be impossible for me to treat me like you do." Zhao Qingming said.

"How will I treat you?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Zhao Qingming sighed and said: "Since I was a child, you have treated me differently from others. With your temperament, you probably treat everyone like this, but no one in this world will treat me like you .”

Tan Muqiu obviously didn't understand what the other party said, and still looked at him blankly.

"I have been cold-tempered since I was a child. No matter whether it is the Dragon Boat Festival or other people of the same age, they don't like to get close to me. Later, when I entered the East Palace and became a general of the Yulin Army, they wanted to detour and leave when they saw me." Zhao Qingming Road.

"I never thought you were cold-tempered." Tan Muqiu said.

"That's natural, because you are different from others." Zhao Qingming said.

Qin Muqiu suddenly realized when he heard the words, he was used to being casual, but he never thought, if he really was Wu Feng, a small follower, how could he order Zhao Qingming casually, and he was leading the horse and eating and playing with him.Thinking of Shangwai's attitude towards Zhao Qingming before, it doesn't seem to be particularly close, so he can be regarded as someone who grew up with him at any rate.

Looking at Zhao Qingming, Tan Muqiu suddenly felt a little guilty.I have always blamed the other party for what happened back then, and since I came to Zhongdu, I have been lying to the other party. I didn't expect the other party to recognize him, but I have been holding back.

"I..." Tan Muqiu, who had been silent for a long time, was about to speak when Zhao Qingming covered his mouth with his hand.He looked at the other party in surprise, and saw the other party frowned and glanced towards the direction of the roof.

Zhao Qingming glanced at Tan Muqiu, let go of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to the saber on the table, like a soldier ready to fight at any time.

Tan Muqiu held his breath nervously, watching Zhao Qingming's eyes move from the direction of the roof to the door, where a vague black figure appeared.

"Your Majesty." A slightly hoarse voice said.

Qin Muqiu was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Qingming, who whispered, "It's Xuan Yiwei."

He suddenly realized, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the queen is about to give birth, should you do what you told me last time?" Xuan Qi outside the door asked in a non-warm voice.

Tan Muqiu was stunned, not knowing how to answer.He has been in the palace for so long, but he didn't know that the queen was pregnant all the time, and the queen gave birth, what orders did Li Yue give Xuanyi Qilin?

"Let him in." Tan Muqiu said to Zhao Qingming.

Zhao Qingming hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and let Xuan Qi in.

After Xuan Qi entered the door, he didn't express any surprise at Zhao Qingming's existence, and knelt down on one knee, waiting for Tan Muqiu to ask questions.

Tan Muqiu glanced at Zhao Qingming distractedly, saw the other party's face was calm, and felt a little relieved, then turned to Xuan Qi and asked, "In your opinion, should that matter be done?"

Xuan Qi was surprised when he heard the words, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he looked up at Zhao Qingming.Zhao Qingming said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is asking you something."

"I... I dare not speak nonsense." Xuan Qi said.

"General Zhao is not an outsider. If I ask you something, you just say, forgive you for your innocence." Tan Muqiu said.

Xuan Qi finally took a breath when he heard the words, and said: "The child belongs to His Majesty, and it is up to His Majesty to decide whether to keep it or not. However, this is His Majesty's only child."

Qin Muqiu frowned when he heard this, and thought, Li Yu is too cruel, he even wants his own child's life?Or, is that not his child?If it's the latter, I'm afraid it's time to kill him long ago, and he's either reluctant to do so or has other scruples.

Li Yu is his own younger brother, so this child can also be regarded as his own nephew.Besides, this body of mine now belongs to Li Yu, and the blood flowing from that child's body is the same as the blood flowing from this body of mine.

"Let's keep it for now." Tan Muqiu said.Xuan Qi responded hurriedly when he heard the words, and seemed to be relieved, after all, killing the emperor's child with his own hands is still very risky.

"The tasks assigned by His Majesty to the ministers have been completed, I wonder if His Majesty has any new orders?" Xuan Qi asked.

Tan Muqiu's thoughts turned sharply, he took out the purse from his bosom, and then took out a token-like thing from the purse, handed the purse to Xuan Qi and said, "Go and check the material of this purse, where is the embroidered text?" A year is more prevalent."

Then he pointed to a glazed bead on the purse and said: "Plus, this glazed bead is a tribute from the subject, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out the year."

"Yes." Xuan Qi took the purse and resigned.

Tan Muqiu looked at the breakfast on the table and lost his appetite.

"You shouldn't be attached to the past." Zhao Qingming said lightly.

Tan Muqiu glanced at the other party and said, "You know everything?"

"I don't know." Zhao Qingming said: "Sometimes, the more you know, the more disappointed you are. It's better to be clean than knowing nothing."

Tan Muqiu snorted coldly and said: "It was like this back then. I was sent to Beijiang without knowing anything. And you... I'm afraid you know a lot. I didn't know anything, and I didn't feel clean. Instead, I complained in vain. For so many years."

Zhao Qingming was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the other party.

"For seven years, I have always thought that you persuaded me to go to Beijiang and join the Prince's Mansion in order to keep the Zhao family." Qin Muqiu sighed and said, "I'm so stupid."

"Back then, the prince was getting older, and he was very similar to you. If you continue to stay in the central capital..."

"I know." Tan Muqiu said, "It's a pity that I don't know until now."

If I knew it back then, I wouldn't have left Zhongdu in despair, and I wouldn't have gradually fallen in love with King Ning'an when I had nothing to rely on, but it was a pity that nothing came of it in the end.
