The Rebirth Of The General Who Always Sees Himself As A Replacement

Fu Yi reached out to embrace Mu Zhiming, not letting him fall to the ground. After confirming that he was fainted and would not wake up for a while, Fu Yi tidied up his crumpled clothes, took a deep breath to calm down, and then pretended to be flustered. With a look of embarrassment, he hugged Mu Zhiming horizontally and strode towards Fengyi Palace.

Leaving Meiyuan, Fu Yi ran into Fu Ji'an at the gate of Fengyi Palace.

Fu Ji'an originally wanted to salute and greet, but when he saw Mu Zhiming who was unconscious in Fu Yi's arms, he was astonished, and stepped over to ask: "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Fu Yi was annoyed: "It's all my fault, General Gu was mentioned."

Fu Jian understood immediately: "Brother Huang, did you tell Brother Mu about General Gu's death?"

Fu Yi nodded: "I thought that Li Zhu knew that General Gu had died in battle, and that's why he mentioned this matter, but when he heard about it, Li Zhu was overwhelmed with grief and passed out."

It was rare for Fu Ji'an to get angry with Fu Yi, and he said in a displeased voice: "Brother Huang, you are really confused! Let alone the fact that Father has suppressed this matter for half a month, and if Brother Mu really knew about this matter, how could the Mu family be in such a mess?" Peaceful and peaceful, how could he come to the palace banquet today."

Fu Yi asked back: "Knowing that the general has died in battle, why didn't you tell him? Li Zhu will know about this sooner or later, can you keep it from him for the rest of your life?"

The noise outside attracted the maidservant of Fengyi Palace to inquire. After Mu Qingwan knew that Mu Zhiming had passed out, she was shocked. She immediately had Mu Zhiming placed on the Luohan soft couch in the outer hall, and then ordered people to go to the palace. The hospital invites the imperial physician.

A young imperial physician hurried over, asked why, took out a pulse pillow to feel Mu Zhiming's pulse, Fu Yi stared at it calmly, in case the imperial physician checked Mu Zhiming's side neck.

After the imperial physician checked the pulse, he said to Mu Qingwan: "If you go back to the empress, Lord Hou should be restless because he usually has trouble sleeping and eating, and suddenly heard the shocking news, his qi and blood went retrograde, and he fainted due to excessive sadness."

Mu Qingwan asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

Imperial Physician: "Weichen prescribes a medicine to soothe the nerves, let Hou Ye take it first, then Hou Ye should wake up soon, but Hou Ye is suffering from a heart disease, and the heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine."

Mu Qingwan sighed for a long time, and asked the imperial physician to write a prescription.

There is a wave of unrest here, and the Ministry of Rites sent people to Fengyi Palace to invite a few people to the banquet at an auspicious time.

Mu Qingwan looked at Mu Zhiming who was lying on the couch worriedly: "Ke Li Zhu he..."

Fu Ji'an suggested: "Let Xiaoyan and the imperial physician take care of it first."

Mu Qingwan sighed: "It has to be like this, Xiaoyan, you have to take good care of Xuan Ninghou."

Xiaoyan quickly responded: "Empress, don't worry."

Mu Qingwan guarded Mu Zhiming for a while, and didn't get up until the Ministry of Rites sent someone to urge her again. She wanted to call Fu Ji'an and Fu Yi to go to the Taiping Palace to have a banquet together, but when she looked up, she was surprised to find that the two of them were together gone.

Xiaoyan said: "Empress, just now King Su said that he had gone to prepare a congratulatory gift, he just left for a while, His Royal Highness Xian also left in a hurry."

Mu Qingwan murmured: "Is that so..."

For some reason, in a trance, she seemed to see a few years ago, the three of them were still young, laughing and playing around her, all innocent and carefree. It was the middle of winter and it was snowing outside Fengyi Palace. The winter plum is buried, and the cold wind is biting, but the Fengyi Palace is warm, peaceful and lively.

Now that I come to my senses, this huge Fengyi Palace is really deserted.

In the Hall of Peace, the auspicious time has come, and the palace banquet begins.

The queen's birthday ceremony this time is kept simple, and only the royal family, concubines, and the queen's relative, Duke Yan, will participate in the palace banquet.

The emperor sits on the right seat behind the nine-story golden steps that symbolize imperial power in the center of the Taiping Hall, and on the right is the seat of Empress Mu Qingwan.

This palace banquet was guarded by the forbidden army, and there were guards standing guard inside the gate of the palace. The commander of the forbidden army, Xiang Rushan, stood outside the Taiping Hall, looking worried and restless.

And inside the hall, it still looks like a joyful scene.

In the past, on queen's birthdays, the queen never sat with the emperor, but today only the royal family members attended the banquet. The emperor specially asked the Ministry of Rites to let Mu Qingwan sit with him, which shows his favor to her.

The atmosphere of the banquet was quite relaxed and happy. The concubines, princes and princesses served wine and offered congratulatory messages, wishing the queen good luck and prosperity. The young princes and princesses were sweet-mouthed, singing poems and making fun, which provoked Mu Qingwan Smiling straight, the emperor was delighted to see her smiling happily, patted her shoulders, and then rewarded several princes and princesses for her.

When everyone finished speaking the congratulatory speeches, gave the congratulatory gifts, and was about to taste the delicacies and watch the singing, dancing and playing music, one person stood up slowly and stood on the vermilion brocade carpet embroidered with longevity characters in the center of the hall. All eyes were on him for a while. .

Fu Yi's eyes were calm, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking in front of his eyes, he could not change his expression. He knelt down to salute, and after getting up, he said slowly: "I have a congratulatory gift, which I want to dedicate to the empress."

"Oh?" The emperor spoke first, "What's the congratulatory gift?"

Fu Yi picked up an exquisite box inlaid with gold leaf jewelry about half an arm's length from the seat, held it in both hands, and looked at Mu Qingwan.

The eunuch stepped forward in small steps, wanting to take the box and send it to the queen.

But Fu Yi took half a step back, and retracted his hands, avoiding the eunuch's hand that was about to take the box.

Fu Yi said calmly: "This box can only be considered a congratulatory gift if I open it myself in front of the Empress."

Hearing this, the princes and nobles sitting at the banquet were curious about what would be in this box, and whispered to each other.

The emperor was displeased, and said in a deep voice, "If you offer a congratulatory gift, you will offer a congratulatory gift. Why are you pretending to be mysterious?"

Seeing that the emperor was faintly angry and intended to blame Fu Yi, Mu Qingwan quickly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Su grew up in Fengyi Palace and regarded me as his mother, so he prepared unusual congratulatory gifts. It is not surprising that there are some rules."

The emperor slapped the table and said angrily: "Is he a person who can set the rules? When he comes to the table, is he going to walk up the nine golden steps? Is this something that a prince can set foot on?"

The emperor's face was displeased, and the banquet was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Everyone held their breath and pursed their lips, not daring to make a sound.

In fact, today is a family banquet, so there is no need to deliberately emphasize rules and status.

But since the emperor was poisoned by the deposed prince Fu Qi and the former queen, he has become sensitive, suspicious and irritable.

This is also the reason why he has never established a prince again.

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Mu Qingwan didn't bow her head in fear like the others. She immediately got up, bowed and knelt in front of the emperor, "Please calm down, your majesty. It's my concubine who didn't think about it. It's really wrong to let His Royal Highness King Su go up the nine golden steps." Sure, the ministers and concubines are willing to be punished, but King Su is so kind to prepare a gift, so he asked the emperor to allow the ministers and concubines to come to the center of the hall to accept this congratulatory gift."

Thinking that today is her birthday, the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart, waved his hands, and agreed to her proposal.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yi said: "The Empress is a body of a thousand pieces of gold. It is inappropriate to step down from a high position in order to receive a congratulatory gift. The Emperor thinks it is inappropriate for me to step on the nine golden steps. I can kneel up."

Suddenly, the entire hall was in an uproar, and even Mu Qingwan was surprised.

Fu Ji'an frowned, staring closely at the suitcase in Fu Yi's hand, as if he wanted to see what Fu Yi meant, he wanted to get up but couldn't get up, he seemed very entangled.

Mu Qingwan said: "His Royal Highness King Su doesn't need to do this." After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor: "It's good for the concubine to go to the center of the hall."

"No." The emperor said suddenly, "You are my empress and my wife, one person is below ten thousand, your status is so honorable, you shouldn't walk down these nine golden steps, let him kneel up."

Mu Qingwan was uneasy: "But... for King Su, this is really condescending."

Do you want so many eyes to watch King Su kneel down and offer gifts?

The emperor: "You are his empress mother, the kindness of nurturing is beyond heaven, let him kneel down, why condescend to say it, well, there is no need to say more."

After getting permission from the emperor, Fu Yi calmly walked up to the nine golden steps, then straightened his back and knelt down heavily on both knees.

He held the box in front of his eyes with both hands, without looking sideways, raised his knees and then lowered them, just like this, one golden step after another, kneeling up.

As soon as Fu Yi reached the high platform, Mu Qingwan immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Mu Qingwan smiled at Fu Yi: "Yi'er, what kind of congratulatory gift is it that makes it so mysterious, quickly take it out and let everyone see it."

Fu Yi: "Open it and have a look."

He spoke in such a low voice that only Mu Qingwan could hear him.

Mu Qingwan nodded, put her slender hands on the top of the box, and slowly opened it.

The box was only presented in front of Mu Qingwan, and the princes and nobles in the palace couldn't see what was in the box, they only saw the corners of Mu Qingwan's smiling mouth bit by bit, her eyes were gradually filled with astonishment and bewilderment.

The emperor's gaze was blocked by Mu Qingwan's back, and he also couldn't see the contents of the suitcase. He couldn't even see Mu Qingwan's eyes, and he only felt that the two of them had been facing each other for a long time.

Mu Qingwan's voice trembled: "Yi'er, this is... this is?"

Fu Yi was still very calm: "I'm sorry, this congratulatory gift was delivered too late."

Fu Ji'an in the hall suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly.

At this moment, Fu Yi held the dagger in the suitcase, stepped sideways in front of the emperor, and stabbed the dagger into the emperor's chest without hesitation!

Warm blood splashed on Fu Yi's wrists, cheeks, and chest. He was so calm that it made people feel creepy. Regardless of Man Dian screaming like crazy, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it in again. He stabbed nine times in a row. In the chest of the emperor who stared wide-eyed and couldn't even say a word.

Fu Yi had imagined this moment countless times.

He thought his hands would shake.

After all, this is patricide, which is a heinous act. It is rumored that after death, he will enter the [-]th hell and suffer torture such as blood pools and icebergs.

But he didn't.

Probably because at the age of five, he was stabbed with a needle secretly by a psychopathic eunuch, and he never regarded the person in front of him as his father.

Anyway, the emperor must never regard him as his own child.

"Yi'er!!!"

The first person to rush over was not the guard of the imperial army, but Mu Qingwan.

She grabbed Fu Yi's wrist, trembling like a sieve, but still trying to stop him: "Yi'er, stop, stop quickly, what are you doing, why, how did this happen."

Fu Yi let go of the dagger, and stopped stabbing the dying corpse in front of him. He withdrew his hands to avoid Mu Qingwan, and said calmly: "There is blood, don't get it on you."

Afterwards, Fu Yi, whose face was still stained with blood, turned around. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples. He looked at the chaotic hall and said four words calmly.

"Your Majesty, please pass away."
