The king was wrong

It would be fine if he really got angry, it was this kind of tone that was the most tormenting.Ji Hong, a consular eunuch over [-] years old, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his smile didn't decrease but increased.

"Where did the lord say that? Your Majesty has a kind heart, and you are His Majesty's only brother. How dare this old servant disrespect you!"

After all, he has lived in this palace for so many years, what kind of person has Ji Hong never met?I am afraid that only he can suppress the current situation.

Wei Yanxi sneered: "Really? Then tell me, this king just wants to see the emperor's brother and ask some questions. What are you doing in front of this king!"

Hearing this, Ji Hong hurriedly apologized with a smile: "My lord, please calm down, no one dares to stop you from seeing your majesty, but the timing is unlucky, these days just coincided with the relapse of your old illness, and you need to rest as ordered by the imperial physician, please forgive me. "

After finishing speaking, Ji Hong turned around and glanced at the people behind him one by one, and said sharply: "What are you doing standing here? Is the prince someone you can stop? If you don't get me back, what should I do!"

His tone was quite bad, but the eunuchs and guards all showed joy, running back and forth as if they had received an amnesty order, for fear that if they ran too slowly, they would be caught and hacked into pieces.

After everyone had dispersed, Ji Hong turned around, bowed respectfully to Wei Yanxi, and said, "They are all new eunuchs who are not sensible. If you accidentally offended the prince before, the old slave will I will apologize for them here, and I hope Wang Ye Haihan."

He put on a humble posture, and Wei Yanxi was not aggressive.Even though he knew that his excuse was false, he still couldn't expose it, otherwise he would definitely be labeled as "not caring about the emperor's dragon body" tomorrow.

But even though it cannot be revealed, Wei Yanxi couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.He looked at Ji Hong coldly, to see what grandiose words he could say after sending everyone away.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hong suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed deeply three times to Wei Yanxi, and said with a serious expression: "My lord, this old servant knows what you want to say to the Holy Majesty, but this old slave has the courage to implore the lord to consider everything for the Holy Majesty. Although the Holy Majesty is the son of heaven, there are many unavoidable difficulties, and this old slave has served in the palace for decades, so I can't understand it very well."

"Your Majesty didn't inform the prince of the marriage in advance. The prince is angry, and the majesty can understand. But the prince, please believe that you are the most beloved younger brother of the majesty, and the majesty absolutely does not want to see you suffer any harm!"

His words were sincere, and Wei Yanxi hesitated when he said that.He never believed that the emperor brother would be so confused that he would sacrifice him because of the queen's words.Brother Huang has always been a rational person with a clear mind and will never do anything inexplicable.

Seeing that the coldness between Wei Yanxi's eyebrows has dissipated a lot, Ji Hong knew that what he said was on point.So he doubled down and dropped another bombshell.

"My lord," Ji Hong bowed deeply again, "The Holy Majesty also asked this old slave to bring you a sentence."

"What?"

Ji Hong took a deep breath, and said word by word: "The Holy One said, you have been wronged in the matter of bestowing the marriage, but one day he will give you an explanation, and he will teach you that today's sacrifice was in vain!"

In fact, Ji Hong's words are also a gamble, betting on how much the friendship between the emperor and the prince has been in his heart since he was a child, and whether he can sacrifice himself once for his brother.

Wei Yanxi saw that his expression was sincere and did not seem to be fake, and after weighing it in his heart, he finally chose to believe in Brother Huang this time.The coldness on his face remained undiminished, he looked at Ji Hong coldly and said: "Okay, this is what you said, this king is waiting for the emperor's brother to explain."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left Chongming Hall without looking back.

Seeing the tall and straight black figure receding away, Ji Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.He groped the ground and stood up, dusted off the hem of his clothes, and walked into the side hall of Chongming Hall.

In the side hall, a bright yellow figure stood in front of the window with the back of his hands behind his back.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head slowly, revealing a face that was [-]% similar to Wei Yanxi but obviously less hostile.

Ji Hong knelt down in front of him and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the prince has already left."

Wei Chengtian nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my honor to be able to share your worries for His Majesty. It's just that, Your Majesty, let this old slave ask me a question. You said you want to give the prince an explanation, but..."

"Do you want to ask, I have ordered him to marry a wife, what else can I say?" Wei Chengtian interrupted before Ji Hong finished speaking.

"No, the old slave dare not."

"Nothing to dare." Wei Chengtian waved his hands, looking out the window at the distant horizon.

"Yanxi is my only younger brother, so naturally I won't treat him badly. It's just that I can't play this game of chess without him. I only used him once as a last resort, and I will make up for him in the future."

"So Your Majesty is planning... to put all his eggs in one basket?"

Ji Hong asked secretly, but Wei Chengtian understood what he meant.

Glancing at the person kneeling at his feet, Wei Chengtian said coldly: "All or nothing? No, I never do anything uncertain. This game of chess started as early as the day she stepped into the back seat. She has the courage Do those shady deeds, murder the emperor's heir, and frame Zhongliang, do you really think I don't know anything? When she killed Shuran in front of Fenglai Palace, she should have thought that these accounts will always be settled. day."

Shuran, the boudoir name of the late Concubine Shu, Wei Chengtian has never called her since she was killed with a stick.Now that it was mentioned suddenly, Wei Chengtian's voice actually had a tremor that he didn't expect.

How many years have passed, but he still can't forget that gentle and delicate Jiangnan woman.At that time, in her Zhongling Temple, he was painting and she was studying ink. Every time the two of them met their eyes, she would blush with shyness, turn her eyes away, and refused to look at him as if she was angry.

That was the happiest and most comfortable time in his life, and she was the woman he wanted to spend his whole life protecting and accompanying...

Ji Hong could see the changes in Wei Chengtian. Back then, the emperor seemed to favor the empress the most, but who knew that the concubine Shu was actually the one he really cared about.Because of Concubine Shu's soft nature, the emperor specially brought the scheming Jin Zhaoyi to the bright side in order to protect her.I thought this would keep her away from the harem disputes, but in the end it actually killed her.

Wei Chengtian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no emotion inside.Who says the emperor is ruthless, but it's a pity that such affection always comes after the throne.He is an emperor, and secondly, her husband.

His dark eyes seemed to hide an endless abyss, which included the sky, the earth, the common people in the world, and all kinds of things in the world.

This is the eye of the emperor.

Nine days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not.In the past nine days, the upsurge of public opinion in Kyoto has never stopped.As big as restaurants and restaurants, as small as narrow streets and alleys, as long as there are people, you will inevitably hear the topic of King Yong's marriage.

It's just that compared to the excited people, the two authorities are surprisingly silent.Seeing that the auspicious day was approaching, the Duke's Mansion and Prince Yong's Mansion unexpectedly remained silent.There were no gifts, no congratulations, even the servants of the two mansions did what they should do every day, their faces were as usual, and there was no festive atmosphere at all.

In the Duke's Mansion, Qi Yaoqing locked herself in the Qingshui Garden every day, reading books and admiring flowers to pass the time, and didn't go to the front yard, seemingly indifferent to her marriage.

It's hard for Qi Xiaosu and Zhao Shi, one is always worried that his son will come to make trouble again, and he will not end well at that time, while the other is secretly annoyed that Qi Yaoqing has suddenly become a shrinking turtle, causing his prepared sour words to ruin his moves. nowhere to use.

On the other hand, King Yong's Mansion, although it was as silent as the Duke's Mansion, His Highness King Yong was far less calm and unrestrained than Qi Yaoqing.The servants of the whole palace have been worried recently, for fear of offending the prince.

Because of the fact that he leads troops to fight outside all the year round, the prince's majesty needless to say.In addition, he always likes to wear black clothes, which makes his whole person stern and steady, and just looking at him makes people awe-inspiring.

This is nothing at all, after all, the prince has always been like this, and everyone in the palace is used to eating cold firecrackers.The most important thing is that the prince seems very dissatisfied with this marriage. His face is sullen all day long, his eyes are sharp, and he refuses to say a word. Those eyes are so cold that they can freeze a person to death just by looking at them.

So this in disguise led to the fact that in the entire Prince Yong's mansion, except for the prince's personal guard Liang Wei, everyone else automatically kept a distance of three feet from the prince, and they would not meet if they could not meet. Who would not want to live for two more years.

But life is always going on, and the marriage is always going to happen, no matter how dissatisfied His Royal Highness King Yong is with this marriage, he still can't escape.So, seeing that the wedding was approaching, everyone in the palace began to think about what to prepare for the big wedding, but because of the low pressure surrounding the prince for a long time, no one dared to speak rashly.

But there must be a general among the dwarves, and a crane among the chickens, right?No, the first bird in his early years was pushed out like a duck on the shelves.

"Then what... my lord, you are going to get married tomorrow, this palace... at least you need to decorate it a little..."

Finally, the day before King Yong's big wedding, Liang Wei couldn't bear the urging and instigation of all the servants, and tentatively mentioned the big wedding to King Yong while he was practicing calligraphy.

"Huh?" His Highness King Yong paused for a while, snorted, and didn't look back at him, but the originally stern face seemed to become even colder.

Liang Wei was terrified by his cold snort, he swallowed with difficulty, wishing to run away immediately.But after all, the big wedding is imminent, and he is burdened with the ardent expectations of the entire palace, so he can only bite the bullet and continue: "You...the big wedding tomorrow, no matter how you say it, it is a matter of the royal family's face, it is too perfunctory... Anyway It's not good. The emperor bestows a marriage, it's a big matter, you should be more or less concerned about the emperor's face, you can't be too one-sided... alone... okay... let's go..."

"..."

As soon as Liang Wei finished speaking the last word, he felt a murderous aura rushing towards his face. He was like a small broken ship in the vast sea, which was overturned by the violent wind and waves raised by his master in an instant.

King Yong didn't move, and didn't turn his head, but this silence alone made Liang Wei feel difficult to breathe.With a heroic and tragic expression on his face, he closed his eyes, and thought to himself, why did he really agree to help those guys to ask the master's opinion for a moment, judging by his current posture, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow...

who knew...

"Well, you can figure it out."

The air-conditioning suddenly disappeared, His Royal Highness King Yong hummed lightly, dropped the brush in his hand, and walked directly past Liang Wei out of the study door.

Only Liang Wei opened his eyes in astonishment, and silently wiped the cold sweat off his brow as he watched the back of his master leaving with his hands behind his back. He was dazed for a long while, unable to believe that he escaped so easily.

His eyes moved to the inkstone, brush on the table, and the rice paper under his head, and he saw a sentence written on it:

"Osmanthus and orchid paddle, hit the sky and see the streamer, dim and embrace, look at the beauty..."

The words have not been finished yet, but Liang Wei is very clear about Wang Ye's thoughts at the moment.

Just because of the unfinished sentence——

I hope that the beauty will come to the sky.
