After the salted fish is married

The dust settles

There were several futons under the dragon chair, and Emperor Pingyuan chose one to sit on.After just walking a few steps, he was already out of breath, and his complexion turned slightly pale.On the other side, the Queen Mother sat tremblingly beside Emperor Pingyuan.

In fact, Yan Xining hadn't seen the Queen Mother a few times, the last time she saw the Queen Mother was on her birthday.Compared with that time, the queen mother is much older.Now she was sitting crookedly beside Emperor Pingyuan, and she no longer had the prestige she had when she refused them to meet her.

Ye Linfeng walked forward slowly, he looked up and down Emperor Pingyuan with his arms around his chest.Emperor Pingyuan looked up and said with a smile: "How can you use such a face? I still like to see your face before."

Ye Linfeng didn't say a word, he sat down beside Ji Song with his eyes downcast.

Emperor Pingyuan gently swept the faces of the three people in front of him one by one, and after a while he smiled: "That's great." Then he stretched out his hand to Ye Linfeng: "Come on."

Ye Linfeng frowned: "Do you know why I'm here?"

Emperor Pingyuan smiled and said, "I can probably guess it."

Ye Linfeng frowned even tighter: "You don't want to say something?"

Emperor Pingyuan put his hands down and put them on his knees: "There is nothing to say."

Ji Song looked at Emperor Pingyuan inquiringly, but the more he looked, the more he felt that he had never known his father.Not only Ji Song felt this way, even Yan Xining felt the same way, Emperor Pingyuan was too complicated, he showed only one side in front of everyone.

Ye Linfeng sneered: "Since you have nothing to say, let me ask. Let me ask you, have you ever loved Hongmei?"

Emperor Pingyuan said calmly: "She is the love of my life."

Hearing this, Ji Song felt mixed feelings.Since he is the love of his life, why would he be willing to hurt her?How could he have the heart to let her be buried in the sea of ​​flames?

Ye Linfeng was also silent when he heard the words, and after a while, his voice slowed down a bit: "Do you regret it later?"

Emperor Pingyuan didn't speak, he looked at Ye Linfeng quietly.This made Ye Linfeng a little discouraged, he really hated Ji Duo so much, this person never reveals his heart, he just likes to make people guess.

Up to now, he has relied on the collected evidence to piece together the truth of the year, and trying to get the truth out of Emperor Pingyuan's mouth is more difficult than reaching the sky.Forget it, what's the point of pursuing right and wrong now?

Ye Linfeng sighed softly and asked the next question: "Do you have any guilt towards me, Hongmei, and Shence disciples?"

A gleam of pain flashed in Emperor Pingyuan's eyes, he turned his gaze to look outside the Jinluan Hall, the sun was rising outside the hall and there was peace.Just when everyone thought he would continue to remain silent, Emperor Pingyuan spoke up, and he firmly said: "Jiangshan Sheji is the most important thing."

Hearing this, the queen mother on one side shook suddenly, fear and fear flashed in her eyes, and the picture of more than 20 years ago could not help but appear in her mind.

The warm sun in March shone on her body, making people feel lazy and unmotivated. At that time, she was still a pure imperial concubine, and she was lying on the brocade steps to take a nap with her youngest son, Ji Feng.At this time, the eunuch's communication voice came from outside the door: "Prince Rui is here—"

Ever since the eldest son, Ji Duo, was conferred the title of Prince Rui and left the palace to build a mansion, if it was another prince, he would only visit the palace once or twice a month to visit his mother and concubine, while Ji Duo would come to visit Concubine Chun every now and then.This gave Concubine Chun enough face, when she heard the eunuch's message, she got up and went out to greet her: "Is my son here?"

After saluting, Prince Rui asked, "Is Feng'er all right today?"

Ji Duo is a good brother, as long as he enters the palace, he will bring some new things to the young son.Concubine Chun smiled and said, "Okay, I was still talking about you just now. I just fell asleep now."

Prince Rui said slowly: "Son, go and see him." As he spoke, he strode towards Ji Feng's bed.

Not long after, Ji Feng's wailing sound was heard from the bed, Concubine Chun ran to the bed in a panic, and saw Ji Feng struggling fiercely on the bed bleeding from seven holes.Concubine Chun's tears fell on the spot, she knelt by the bed and didn't know what to do, she could only shout: "Emperor physician, imperial physician!"

However, the maid eunuch in the courtyard was nowhere to be seen, Concubine Chun held Ji Duo's hand in fear and begged: "Pingyuan, hurry up! Save Feng'er!"

However, when she saw Ji Duo's face clearly, she let go of her hand in horror.

Ji Duo was expressionless, his eyes were indifferent and looked down on Ji Feng who was struggling.

Ji Feng struggled for a while and then died, Concubine Chun covered her mouth in horror and burst into tears.At this time, she heard Ji Duo's voice, looked up, and saw Ji Duo turned his head calmly: "Mother, the royal blood should not be confused, not everyone can believe in Ji."

"Let's not take this as an example, you know?"

Obviously Ji Duo just said this in the most ordinary tone, but it made her forget her sadness and become terrified.At that moment, her hair stood on end, as if she knew her son for the first time.

From that day on, Concubine Chun knew one thing: her eldest son would become the emperor of Chu Liao.Such a city, such means, other princes can't match.

It was also from that day that she began to be afraid of her children.As soon as she saw Emperor Pingyuan's face, she would think of that day when he quietly watched Ji Feng dying.

Later, Ji Duo really became the new emperor and changed the name of the country to Pingyuan, and she also became the most honorable woman in the harem.But as soon as Emperor Pingyuan approached her, she would unconsciously be afraid.The more filial the emperor was to her, the more frightened she became, and she could only cooperate with him stiffly.

The fear in the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed past, and it was too late for everyone to catch it.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Linfeng didn't want to say anything anymore.He took out a red bottle from his sleeve, put the bottle on the ground and pushed it towards Emperor Pingyuan: "There are two medicines in it that can seal the throat when it sees blood. You can choose to take it or not."

Emperor Pingyuan picked up the bottle and stroked the smooth outer wall: "I am interested, thank you."

Hearing this thank you, Ye Linfeng felt particularly harsh.In his imagination, he should be happy at this moment, but now he feels depressed and uncomfortable, and just wants to scold people violently: "You really have nothing to say?!"

Emperor Pingyuan held the bottle and thought for a moment: "Yes."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Song: "My son, stand up."

Hearing this, Ji Song stood up from the futon, and Emperor Pingyuan narrowed his eyes again and ordered, "Walk around twice to show Father."

Ji Song walked down the steps in silence, and after walking around twice, he returned to Emperor Pingyuan again.Emperor Pingyuan struggled to get up. He bent down and touched Ji Song's knees and thighs, praising him while touching: "What strong and powerful legs, my son Rong Chuan will definitely be able to walk farther than the father."

Looking at Emperor Pingyuan's gray hair, Ji Song's heart softened and his nose astringent.He didn't want to explore or think anymore. Emperor Pingyuan made thousands of mistakes, but he was really kind to him.As a prince, it is a kind of luck to enjoy such paternal love.

Emperor Pingyuan was indeed old, just getting up made him out of breath.After a while, he slumped on the futon again, this time he took a long time to calm down.

He said gently to Ji Song: "Last time a young man pushed your face into the palace, father said a few words to him, so I won't explain them here one by one, let Xining tell you when you go back. This time, Royal Father has to tell you something between our father and son."

Hearing this, Yan Xining subconsciously got up.Can he listen to the conversation between the two emperors?

However, as soon as he moved, he was stopped by Emperor Pingyuan: "You can also listen to it, after all, you and Qingzhu are the two closest people in Rong Chuan's life in this world."

Ye Linfeng's eyes were complicated, Ji Duo was really good at calculating people's hearts. At this time, he still didn't forget to remind himself: You are Ji Song's uncle, if you don't stay and help Ji Song, he will be so lonely in this world.

Emperor Pingyuan said slowly: "I've heard about Xiao Liu's matter, you did the right thing."

Ji Song didn't expect to hide Ji Ying's matter from Emperor Pingyuan, who has so many eyeliners in Chiling Army, let alone in Liangzhou.After Ji Yin changed her name, she was active in Pingchang City, and someone would always see her.Now Emperor Pingyuan gave Ji Ying a gold medal to save her from death. Since then, there will be no six princesses in the world who are close to each other, only Ji Ying, an ordinary citizen from Liangzhou.

Ji Song cupped his hands: "I'm on behalf of Xiao Liu, thank you, Father."

Emperor Pingyuan smiled slightly, and he waved his hand: "The way of being a king, the Taifu and I have already told you too much, I think you don't want to listen to it anymore, after you ascend the throne..."

Ji Song pursed his lips and said dryly, "Father, my son will not be the emperor you imagined in this life." He couldn't do what Emperor Pingyuan did for the sake of Chu Liao and not for the sake of morality.He is upright and willful, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he cannot achieve the precise check and balance like his father did.

Emperor Pingyuan smiled deeper: "You have become what I imagined, my son Rong Chuan will be a good emperor. What I want to say is, after you ascend the throne, do whatever you want, don't be like your father , think twice before doing anything."

Although it was just a very ordinary tone, Yan Xining read the deep helplessness of Emperor Pingyuan in this sentence.After more than [-] years in power, he tried his best to be a good emperor.However, the so-called good is only achieved after a compromise with all parties, and it is far from reaching the level he wants.

Ji Song's eyes were slightly red, he cupped his hands and solemnly said: "I obey."

Emperor Pingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yan Xining: "Xining is a good boy, you have a good time with him, don't let him down." He didn't live a good life, and hope his children can live well.

Yan Xining saluted respectfully: "Thank you, father."

After talking for a while, Emperor Pingyuan was exhausted.He leaned back and put the porcelain bottle into his sleeve with shaking hands: "I can't die yet, don't worry, I will give you an explanation when the matter is settled."

Ye Linfeng's eyes were already red, and he turned his head stubbornly to look at the side of the dragon chair: "You can choose not to eat."

Emperor Pingyuan chuckled: "Of course I have to eat. After so many years, I should choose one for myself." The throne is a right, but also a responsibility.The burden of Chu Liao has been heavy on his shoulders all these years, and finally the day has come for handing it over.

He looked at the three people on the opposite side again, and then waved his hands: "Go back, I'm tired."

The sun was shining brightly outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the industrious palace people were trying to wash away the blood left by the mutiny.If she hadn't personally experienced that horrible mutiny, Yan Xining would think this is a good place.At this moment, he turned his head to look at the majestic palace, filled with emotion in his heart.

Only a place with such vicissitudes can cultivate a man of foresight and foresight like Emperor Pingyuan, right?Compared with Emperor Pingyuan, he is a layman.He still wants to go back to his small yard, bask in the sun quietly, and cook delicious food.

When Xu Shi turned his head too fast, Yan Xining suddenly felt that his vision was distorted.He looked at Ji Song and Ye Linfeng, who were walking out of the square with sullen faces and complex expressions.

Yan Xining took two steps forward and then stopped. The sunlight in front of him seemed to have turned a strange yellow color, and the palace walls and ground drills were mixed together, making him a little sick.

Ji Song keenly sensed that something was wrong, but Ah Ning didn't seem to follow.Turning his head to look, he saw Yan Xining's complexion was snow-white and his body was crumbling.

Ji Song's pupils shrank: "A-Ning!"

Yan Xining's body softened and fell backwards, the sky and Ji Song's face gradually dimmed, and finally turned into boundless black.
