Bright moon out of Tianshan

When Xiao Jian heard this, he was so startled that he almost jumped up, Lin Zaichun heard the conversation between the two, followed him out of the cabin, and said: "Mr. Come to me, I've been on the Qinhuai River for the past few days."

Xiao Jian said: "Thank you so much." He hurriedly bid farewell to him and went ashore.

That Xiaofu pulled him to a place where no one was around, and said: "My son told me that you can't go back to the Grand Master's Mansion, or you will be detained, but you can't do anything, so let me go to my son and worry about it." .” Pulling him away in a hurry.

At dusk, two important ministers in the court took the imperial decree, led the guards and commander Meng Xin and others, ransacked Grand Master Xiao's house, and the people in the Grand Master's mansion became a mess.Except for Xiao Jian who was not found, the rest were taken to a courtyard and put under custody, and all the property and houses were sealed.Xiao Run hadn't finished his dinner when he was overturned by the wolfish Ouchi guards and dragged into the palace.He had been an official for many years, he knew that it was useless to cry out for grievances at this moment, so he kept silent, stumbling along the way, and saw that he had arrived outside the emperor's bedroom, but was told to wait outside the palace.

Xiao Run had no choice but to kneel respectfully outside the hall, his heart was full of surprises, his back was aching and his thoughts were rising and falling, when suddenly a figure came up to him, and said with a soft smile, "Grand Master Xiao?"

Xiao Run raised his head and saw that it was the second prince, Linfen Wang Gaoze. His appearance was very upright, but he smelled of rouge and wine, and his face was playful and frivolous. Xiao Run hurriedly said: "I have seen the Second Highness."

Gao Ze laughed.He said in a low voice: "I heard that your daughter is so capable that she even drugged the emperor! Hehehe, but this is really a good idea. Didn't the evil son of my family come out of drugging? It's impenetrable, but who can hide this shit?"

He just talked nonsense here, Xiao Run was terrified, he didn't know what medicine Xiao Rong had given the emperor, and he didn't dare to ask the second highness who was not upright, but he didn't speak, Gao Ze saw him silent and sneered He said twice, and said: "Wait until I go and do my filial piety!" Shi Shiran entered the palace door, saw Emperor Xuwen who was lying in bed unconscious, suddenly his face fell down, and he said in tears: "Father, you What's the matter! Erchen was busy with official duties outside, and rushed back when he heard the news, how can you tell Erchen to live like this!"

Gao Zhi was still in a coma, and the third prince Wuyang Wang Gaohuai lived in the palace, so he came early and sat by Gao Zhi's bed, with long eyelashes hanging down, as if he didn't hear his noise.Gao Ze rushed to the bed, looked east and west, and said after a while: "Third brother, what's wrong with Father?"

Gao Huai stood up and greeted him, saying, "I'm sick."

Gao Ze said: "Third Brother, Brother Dahuang is fighting in Southern Shu. I am in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs. I have always been busy with affairs and live in the palace outside. Only you have been in the palace, and now the emperor has become like this. You sent me away with the word 'sick'? Are you sending passers-by on the street? How did the father get sick, can you tell me in detail?"

Gao Huai said: "I don't understand medical theory, you can ask the imperial physician." The old imperial physician approached one, trembling, and was about to explain, Gao Ze waved his hand impatiently, and said: "I'm tired of hearing your old ways! Third brother, or Tell me."

Gao Huai bowed his head and remained silent, stretching out his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose indistinctly, and after a while he said: "It's just sick." Gao Ze came back from the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Households with a smell of powder all over his body, which made his face turn pale, and for a while I wanted to vomit for a while, but I had to endure it.During the stalemate, Gao Zhi slowly opened his eyes again, glanced at Gao Ze, and said weakly: "You should go out, the noise made me flustered!"

Seeing his father wake up, Gao Huai picked up the ginseng soup on the small table beside him, tasted it, and handed it to Gao Zhi's lips.

Gao Ze looked at the old emperor's face, and could only say: "Then I won't bother my father, my son will leave, and my father must take care of himself." He kowtowed and withdrew, and when he reached Xiao Run who was kneeling outside the hall , Fu bent down again and said in a low voice: "It turns out that the syndrome of prolapse is such a complexion, it's interesting, it's interesting."

Xiao Run trembled, and thought: "Taking Yang?" Watching the Second Highness wander away, but a eunuch came out to pass him in, Xiao Run hurriedly walked all the way into the hall, the room was full of strong smell of medicine, choking He almost lost his breath.

He raised his head slightly, and saw that Emperor Xuwen was lying on his huge dragon bed, his face was gray and weak, and he was clearly terminally ill.Sitting on a chair beside the bed was a young man of around 23 or [-] years old, wearing a moon-white satin robe, his long black hair tied up with a blue ribbon, his eyes were clear and handsome, his face was cold and gloomy, and he held a warm hand tightly with one hand. Emperor Wen placed his hand beside the bed, seeing Xiao Run coming in, raised his eyelids for a look, then lowered them.

Xiao Run paused for a moment and said: "The guilty minister kowtowed to the emperor, is the emperor not in good health?"

Gao Zhi suddenly sneered, and said: "Yes, I'm not in good health, very much! If Huai'er hadn't rushed over and used her internal strength to keep me breathing, I'm afraid I would have died right now!"

Xiao Run's heart was beating wildly, and he glanced at the young man quietly. It turned out to be the third prince Wuyang Wang Gaohuai. He only heard that he had been studying behind closed doors for more than ten years, but few people had seen his true face. As rumored, it is very similar to Gao Ban.

Gao Zhi suddenly raised his voice and said: "Xiao Run! It's all thanks to your good daughter!

Xiao Run was shocked, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I don't know that little girl of the guilty minister... what did she do to make the emperor so angry. Can the emperor see the old minister's poor face and forgive her this time?"

Gao Zhi said: "Forgive her? I want to forgive her, but I don't know if I have this life or not? She actually drugged me...and drugged me...and I almost lost my life!" Angry, Suddenly he coughed heavily and was out of breath.Scared the court ladies, eunuchs, and imperial doctors who were standing by the bed, they moved forward together, Gao Zhi waved his hands indiscriminately and said, "Go away! Go away! A bunch of useless things!"

Gao Huai quickly stood up and said in a low voice, "Father, don't be angry." Holding Gao Zhi's hand with his right hand, his left hand went around to caress his back. He came over and said: "You should go and ask your good daughter, I don't want to talk to you! My life is going to be delivered to her! I was going to execute him immediately, but thinking about it, you are also a You have worked hard, so I will ask you to come and see her one last time."

Xiao Run thought quickly in his heart that if he really drugged the emperor, it would be a great crime to punish the nine clans. Fearing that he would never have the chance to come and speak, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the guilty minister will go now, right away. But The criminal minister has something to ask, the little girl is stubborn, it is the criminal minister who can't teach well, but since she has served the emperor for so many years, can her life be spared? If you want to die, let the criminal minister replace her... Let her die, and please the emperor!"

Emperor Xuwen had a bad temper, and hated people who begged for mercy, but Xiao Run had been a grand master for so many years, and he made great contributions in the Southern Chu War, so now he begged, the emperor had to think carefully.While thinking about it, Xiao Run saw that he was silent, and then boldly said: "Please the emperor fulfill the heart of my parents."

Emperor Xuwen murmured: "Parents' heart?"

He slowly raised his head to look at Gao Huai, but Gao Huai was also looking at him, his dark eyes were wide open, clean and clear, but expressionless, then he narrowed his eyes and lowered his head again.Gao Zhi sighed and said: "What is the heart of parents? It depends on whether it is rare for children. I am also a father! Well, in front of the third emperor today, I will fulfill the love of your parents. Xin, you go, just wait over there."

Xiao Run said: "Thank you, Lord Long En." He kowtowed his head, then turned his body slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Third Prince." He has been an official for many years, and he is extremely vigilant, feeling that the meaning of Emperor Xu Wen's words is faintly In order to please the silent Third Highness, he also thanked the Third Highness by the way.Then he went out of the hall to see his daughter.

The palace where Xiao Rong lives is called Yuhua Palace, and it has been imprisoned and guarded by the big inner guards at this time, Xiao Rong smashed things all over the ground in the main hall, and scattered them all over the place. Run came in, tears streaming down his face suddenly, he jumped up and said: "Dad, Dad, for your own future, you sent your daughter to this dark place, where you suffered all kinds of humiliation and torture! My daughter would rather die than stay here any longer! I can't take it anymore!"

Xiao Run wished he could go up and cover her mouth, but now that Xiao Ronggui is a noble concubine, how could he easily disobey her?I had to persuade him: "What are you making trouble about? The emperor said you gave him medicine, what medicine did you give him?"

Xiao Rong blushed for a while, and suddenly sneered and said: "Aphrodisiac, what's the matter? He hasn't spoiled his daughter once in several years, and when he is called to bed, he just beats his back and squeezes his legs! So and so, daughter When will there be a prince? If this continues, will there still be a place for my daughter in this palace?"

Xiao Run asked in surprise, "Aphrodisiac?"

Xiao Rong then sneered: "Yes, aphrodisiacs! It's aphrodisiacs! I didn't expect His Majesty to be so useless, and he passed out after only three times, hmph!"

Xiao Run's old face turned red and turned pale, and he almost fainted, he said: "Are you crazy? You gave the holy... medicine? You are the death penalty of the nine clans! What crime did I do, why did I raise you like this A daughter?"

Xiao Rong exclaimed: "Why can't I prescribe medicine? Why? Didn't Empress Jingcheng prescribe medicine for the emperor back then to give birth to the third prince today. Why can't I prescribe the medicine when she is able to do so?" Xiao Run He asked anxiously: "Who told you the old things about the emperor and empress? This is a big taboo in our Eastern Qi Dynasty. What are you talking about?"

Xiao Rongdao: "I didn't yell nonsense, the second prince told me! He also said that I was useless and couldn't win his father's heart, and said that Queen Jingcheng didn't want to be seen by the emperor back then. A prince, just... um" suddenly stopped, but the old father rushed up and covered his mouth.Hearing Xiao Run tremblingly said: "Don't mention Empress Jingcheng again, child, don't mention it, you have been fooled by the second prince! Now that things are up to now, even if you don't want to live anymore, think more about Tiantian and Yaoyao, he You two are still young!"

Xiao Rong heard him mention Tiantian and Yaoyao, and remembered something, stretched out his hand to brush his hand away, and said: "Tiantian got married today, I was locked up, and I can't go out of the palace to see, how is it?"

Xiao Run said: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, let's talk about it later. I don't know how the Holy Dragon will manifest, alas!"

Xiao Rong said: "Hmph! What else can I do? Dad, I won't survive this time anyway, so I'll just say it happily! The emperor said that he dotes on me, but he is deceiving others. In his heart, he has never forgotten his queen! He I kept that third prince as a treasure in my own palace. I originally told the emperor that I wanted to give Yaoyao to the third prince, but what did that kid say? He said he would never want anyone from our Xiao family! Look at him The way he is favored, if he becomes emperor in the future, will we still have to live with him in the future?"

Xiao Run sighed and said: "This is something that cannot be forced, why are you angry about it?"

Xiao Rong was angry, his almond eyes widened, and his complaints flowed like the water of the Yellow River, out of control: "Can I not be angry? What happened to our Xiao family? Back then, my brother and you worked hard to open the city of Jinling." The gate let their monarchs and ministers enter the city, and my elder brother died for it. When he opened the city gate, no one in the Eastern Qi Dynasty said we were second ministers. In the past two years, everyone has been upright and noble. You! Do you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge? Do you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey? This is getting worse every year, who will take you seriously? The head of the harem, this post has been refused to me until now! The first prince is not in the capital, so that’s all. The second prince laughed glibly when he saw me, and the third prince had seen his daughter before, and didn’t even say hello. I passed away with a sullen face. If I wait for the emperor to return to heaven, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be buried with him!"

Xiao Run went up to cover her mouth again, and said: "I really spoiled you! I really spoiled you. It's not enough for you to do evil yourself. Do you have to drag the whole family to die with you?"

Xiao Rong stretched out his arms to hug him, pear blossoms were crying in a mess, Xiao Run saw that she was insane, so he could only comfort her with words, and told her not to talk nonsense, Xiao Rong nodded indiscriminately, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not. did not hear it.

At this time, the chief eunuch in the palace brought a jug of wine over, and said: "His Majesty's decree, give Grand Master Xiao a jug of imperial wine."

Xiao Rong asked in surprise: "What? Royal wine? Is it poisonous wine? What I did myself, I will bear it myself, what does it have to do with my father?" He rushed up and was about to drop the wine pot, and was caught by two big insiders. The guards rushed up and held down firmly, Xiao Rong struggled, her long hair was messy, how could she have the demeanor of a noble concubine?Xiao Run looked back at her, and said: "Son, a big mistake has been made, and someone has to bear it. Daddy is willing to bear it for you. Compared with what you have done, the emperor's treatment like this is already the most tolerant. You live anyway. Going down, I have already lost my son, and I can’t live without a daughter.” Stretching out his hand to get the wine tremblingly, Xiao Rong exclaimed in shock: “Father! Daddy!” The shrill voice spread far away, but the jade tower palace is as deep as the sea , This kind of drama has been staged so much that people who hear it don't even have to jump their eyelids, and they don't even bark at the night owl on the tree.
