[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

The queen had just given birth, her complexion was a little pale, and there was still a faint smell of blood all over her body.Tan Muqiu walked to the bed and sat down, suddenly felt a little sympathy for the woman in front of him, maybe she didn't know that her husband was already dead.

"You... have worked hard." Tan Muqiu said such a sentence by accident.

The queen was a little surprised when she heard the words, but actually she was a little surprised when she saw Tan Muqiu holding the child.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans..." The queen hesitated to speak, and turned her eyes to the child held by the nurse, her eyes were a little red.

Seeing the other party's expression like this, Qin Muqiu was startled. So the queen knew that Li Yu didn't plan to keep this child?Immediately, he adjusted his breathing, and tried his best to make himself gentle and said: "Don't think wildly, I... will treat him well."

The queen was puzzled when she heard the words, Tan Muqiu smiled again, got up and said: "You have a good rest." Then he turned his head to the servant who was serving at the side and said, "Take care of the queen and the little prince." After saying that, he didn't want to stay any longer, hurried away.

Tan Muqiu couldn't tell what it was like to have an extra "son" for no reason.

Rong An saw that Tan Muqiu seemed a little unhappy, so he could only comfort him: "Your Majesty should be happy, anyway, the little prince's body is full of His Majesty's blood."

Tan Muqiu thought to himself, whether it was the former self or the current self, that child can be regarded as blood thicker than water with him.

He suddenly remembered what the queen mother said, and asked, "Before the queen was pregnant, were there any rumors in the palace?"

Rong An twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak.Qin Muqiu grabbed the other party's skirt and threatened him for a long time before Rong An said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty and the Empress have been married for nearly three years, and there are several empresses in the harem, but... neither the empress nor the empresses have ever conceived... So, the palace There are some rumors inside and outside the palace..."

Tan Muqiu nodded when he heard the words, and did not continue this topic.

The birth of the eldest son of the emperor can be regarded as a major event.Qin Muqiu has never been a father, nor has he witnessed a peer around him become a father, so he never thought that being a father is such a troublesome thing.

Reward one person from each palace, hold three dynasties ceremonies, and hold a full moon banquet in the future...

Tan Muqiu seized the opportunity and sighed and complained to Zhao Qingming: "It's a good thing you didn't get married and have children, it's really troublesome."

Zhao Qingming did not argue, but changed the subject and said, "The poison in your body has not been cured, and the person who poisoned you has not stopped. The more hectic you are now, the more you cannot take it lightly."

"Hey." Tan Muqiu sighed, put down the pen in his hand, casually twirled a piece of red bean cake and took a small bite: "There is no tomorrow after today, some things should be done sooner."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingming frowned and looked at the other party, then slowly walked towards the desk.

Qin Muqiu was puzzled, and stared at the other party with wide eyes, but saw the other party took the remaining half of red bean cake in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"Could you be..." Tan Muqiu didn't finish his sentence when he saw the other party put down the red bean cake and suddenly took his hand.

"You... don't do this." Tan Muqiu wanted to withdraw his hand, but the other party held it tightly.

"Don't move." Zhao Qingming pulled the opponent's hand under his nose and smelled it, then turned his head to look at the still ink on the pen holder, and said, "Do you often eat when you are critiquing papers?"

Tan Muqiu followed the other party's gaze, and immediately understood a little.The two of them looked at each other, and there was a lot of care in their hearts.

Zhao Qingming blotted the ink dry with paper, then wrapped the pen and put it away.

Tan Muqiu sighed, rubbed his brows, and said, "I don't need to go to Wanli Temple for my rest tomorrow. After you go back, send a message to Marquis Zhao and ask him to come to the palace. I have something to ask him."

Hearing the words, Zhao Qingming looked at the other party silently, and was helpless when he saw it. Tan Muqiu could only explain: "You don't know about those things. I think there must be someone who knows."

"If you want to ask more questions, I won't stop you. But... don't let my father know your identity just yet." Zhao Qingming said.

Qin Muqiu was a little puzzled when he heard the words, but he didn't ask further.

He thought to himself, those things that Zhao Qingming said he didn't know, maybe the other party knew about them, but they just didn't want to tell him.

It was a very sunny day and the weather was bright, but Rong An felt chilly all over.

That ancestor, for some reason, announced Master Zhao into the Ninghe Hall, this was the first time he had experienced it.Speaking of Master Zhao and his eldest son, General Zhao Qingming, they are indeed father and son.One of the two is in charge of the military defenses outside the capital, and the other is in charge of half of the Habayashi Army. It can be said that Li Yu has entrusted his wealth and life to the father and son.

However, Li Yu has always been indifferent to the father and son.

That ancestor, since his death, not only is not as alienated from Zhao Qingming as before, but now it seems that his attitude towards Lord Zhao is also changed, but not only for the better but also for the worse.

On the desk in front of Tan Muqiu was a stack of not-too-thick memorials.Since he sat on the dragon chair, most of the papers he approved were "discussions", and only a few trivial things he thought were innocuous, he would put "accurate" or "review".

Although this country is not his, he doesn't want to let himself neglect the government affairs.

Looking past the memorial, Tan Muqiu fell on Zhao Shuo. With a smile on his face, Tan Muqiu said, "I am very happy that the eldest son of the emperor was born. It's just..." He stared at Zhao Shuo word by word and said, "Because of the birth of the eldest son of the emperor, I am very happy." Born, I can't help but think of the deceased these days."

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, and don't overthink it." Zhao Shuo said in a serious official tone.

"I don't know if it's because of the commander of the Red Maple Battalion who died in the Battle of Guzhou. I can't help but think of Shuai Tan these days." Tan Muqiu didn't catch any information from Zhao Shuo's face, so he continued: "I I remember that in the past, Marquis Zhao and Shuai Tan were quite close, so I wanted to send you here to talk."

Zhao Shuo didn't raise his eyes to look at Tan Muqiu, and said in a deep voice, "Tan Shuai was loyal to the king and served the country, and died a worthy death."

"It's a pity that I gave birth to a rebellious son." Tan Muqiu said, then got up and left the desk...

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo looked up at Tan Muqiu, with both surprise and confusion on his face, but it was only fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure, bowing his head without saying a word.

"When the news of the death of the commander of the Red Maple Battalion came back to Zhongdu, what was Lord Zhao doing?" Tan Muqiu asked.

"The minister is in the morning court."

"Master Zhao, did you ever feel regretful?"

Zhao Shuo was silent for a moment without answering, sweat dripped from his forehead.

"I feel sad."

Zhao Shuo looked up at Qin Muqiu, with a wry smile on the other side, he couldn't judge the other side's emotions for a while, so he heard the other side said: "Master Zhao hasn't seen him for seven years, maybe he guessed that he is now look like?"

Tan Muqiu walked up to Zhao Shuo while he was talking, and there was a faint smile on his face, and he said, "I dreamed about him, that face is the same as my..."

Tan Muqiu glanced at the other party calmly, and seeing that the cold sweat was dripping from the forehead of the other party, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "I saw the Queen Mother that day, and if the eldest son of the emperor hadn't been born, I would never have had the chance to see her old man." .”

Zhao Shuo still bowed his head in silence for a long time before replying, "Some things are really hard to let go."

Qin Muqiu was slightly distracted when he heard the words, and then said: "I feel that she is very alienated from me by the old man."

Zhao Shuo still stood with his hands down, not saying a word.

"Marquis Zhao and Shuai Tan have known each other for a long time. I heard that Shuai Tan's wife was also a stunning beauty back then. Unfortunately, she passed away not long after giving birth to her first child. I think Marquis Zhao should have seen Shuai Tan back then. Ma'am?" Tan Muqiu asked.

"I have seen it before." Zhao Shuo replied.

Tan Muqiu walked slowly around the other party, and said again: "Presumably, if Mrs. Qin is alive, she should be a good mother. It's a pity, I... have never had the chance to meet."

"Your Majesty, things in the world have always been like this, and it's hard to satisfy people's wishes." Zhao Shuo said.

"Hey..." Tan Muqiu sighed, walked back to the desk, supported the corner of the desk and said, "Master Zhao, step back, I'm tired."

"Resignation." Zhao Shuo turned and left. Tan Muqiu looked at the back of the other party, but suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and blurted out: "Marquis Zhao, take care."

Zhao Shuo paused, then cupped his hands to thank him, and then left the Hall of Condensation and Harmony.

Tan Muqiu looked at the two "Strange Chronicles" placed on the desk, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, feeling a little inexplicable in his heart.

He and Li Yu are brothers.

Whether it is "Strange People" or just based on looks, there is no doubt that the father of the two is Tan Heng.What bothers Tan Muqiu now is whether he and Li Yu's mother are the same person.

He has never seen his mother since he was a child. It is said that he died shortly after giving birth.If this is the case, it means that Li Yu's mother is the current queen mother.

According to what Li Jin said that day, the other party knew that Li Yu was not from the Li family, but Tan Heng's son.Then, the first emperor must also know.Maybe it was just because he had no other children, so he had no choice but to keep Li Yue?

If this is the case, the first emperor's tolerance is really great.

However, Li Yu could stay, but Li Yu's biological father naturally couldn't.So, was someone obstructing my father's death?The first emperor was angry with his father and the empress dowager's affair, so he designed to kill him?

The Empress Dowager has been eating fast and chanting Buddha, perhaps because of this.

Tan Muqiu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.After all, this is speculation, and it is not yet time to draw conclusions.

At night, Xuan Lin entered the Ninghe Hall and knelt down on one knee.

Tan Muqiu's face was hidden in the dim candlelight, and he said, "Go and check the records of the Empress Dowager's pregnancy in those years, and I will find anyone who can take care of the Empress Dowager's pregnancy and deliver the baby."

Xuan Lin took the order and left.

Tan Muqiu picked up the red bean cake that he had just bitten halfway through, and put it back silently after a while.

The imperial palace is really a place of right and wrong, Tan Muqiu thought in his heart.
