Bright Spring

Chi Yue also shook her head, bit her red lips lightly, and said with a blushing face, "King Gaoyang, hug me."

The tendons on Zhu Gaoxu's forehead bulged again, and he finally walked towards her slowly.

Chi Yue leaned her head softly on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear like a mantra: "I want you to remember my good, heartache and regret, so that you can always remember me today .Then I didn’t die, I still stayed in this world..."

The wind picked up again, blowing very hard amidst the light rain.The branches and leaves of the treetops are constantly shaking, and the silk grass on the roadside is floating like a waterfall in the wind.

The wind poured into the crack of the door, the sound was very loud, and the whistling sound of the wind was extremely forgetful.The white silk lining on the cloth rope, the two embroidered flowers are bright red, blown up like a sail by the wind coming in through the crack of the door, the soft fabric rippling in the wind| As rough as the waves.

……

There was a torrential rain yesterday which died down quickly, but the wind continued into this morning.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Jing Qing got up and tidied up.He put on a brand-new white silk lining, tied a white silk around his waist, and then inserted the sheathed dagger into the waist silk. He stared at himself in the bronze mirror, and calmly put the clean cloth on his face. The official uniform is worn outside, and the official uniform has just been ironed, and the straight lines of the folds are still visible.Then put on the black gauze hat and straighten it.

Jing Qing was neat and tidy, only missing a big red flower, so she dressed up like a groom.

Walking out along the corridor, Jing Qing saw his daughter standing at the door of a room, looking tired and pale, leaning on the door frame and looking at him.

"Ready? Wait for news from the old man." Jing Qing looked at her and said.

Miao Jin nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just sighed faintly.

When Jing Qing walked out of the mansion, he saw two more red letters on the gate: Traitor!

"Huh!" Jing Qing let out a sound from his nose, and when his attendant led the horse over, he got on the horse.One of the attendants was holding a staff in front, the other was leading the horse, and two people followed behind, walking towards the imperial street.

It was late spring and early summer, but it was raining and windy yesterday, and it was still chilly early in the morning.It was very early in the morning, and the light was a bit hazy when I went out, and the servant with the staff in front was carrying a lantern.

A group of people passed by the Qinhuai River, and Jing Qing saw the waves floating on the river, and the faint white mist was indistinct.The cold wind was blowing on his face, and he couldn't help reining in the horse's head slightly, looked at the river, and muttered: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Exploring the tiger's lair, entering the dragon palace, looking up to the sky, exhaling, it is complete." Baihong..."

After singing, he raised his head and let out a long sigh against the wind, then continued to walk forward.

When they came to the street, more and more officials went to court, some on horseback, some on donkeys, some in carriages, and there were dots of lanterns everywhere.Some people who live a little far away from the imperial city, in order not to be late, have to light up lanterns in the morning to see the road clearly.

Jing Qing walked all the way, and saw that most of the shops on the street had already opened.There is a stove outside the food shop on the roadside, and the steamer above it is steaming, sending all kinds of aromas all over the street.

Jing Qing felt a little hungry, thinking about death|Prisoners still have to eat before leaving, so he can't be a starving ghost.He asked his attendants to stop, gave a servant a few copper coins, and said, "I want to buy two steamed buns with mutton stuffing."

When the servant brought over the hot buns wrapped in vegetable leaves, Jing Qing felt his mouth salivate, and started to eat while sitting on the horse. He said, "If you want to eat, go buy it too. There is still a while before the court."

The servants chipped in the money, handed it to a man, and told him to go buy buns.

After Jing Qing finished eating a steamed stuffed bun, he looked up and could faintly see the double eaves of the Chengtian Gate. Holding the steamed stuffed bun, his expression gradually became serious.Quickly and quietly reached out to touch the dagger at his waist.

His face became colder and more determined.

Chapter 158

Miao Jin sat in front of the dressing table, dressed herself up, and stared at the white silk on the table in a daze.

She thought about the scene in Zhongshan yesterday, and her cheeks and ears felt hot again.At that time, I didn't feel any pain in the fog, but after that, my body is still burning with pain.Before, I never thought that I would commit myself to others like this. I always thought that chastity is more important than life.It's a bit hasty to do so, but if you were too reserved yesterday and didn't give it to him, what's the point of keeping it and going to hell?

At this moment, she misses the world even more, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.But the rumors around her really frightened her, such as twenty or so men guarding her every day, and she took off her clothes and paraded through the streets.Such torture|torture and humiliation are really better than death!

Miao Jin pondered for a moment, the Jing family must be worse than Fang Xiaoru's family.Fang Xiaoru was just scolding Yan Ni, but Jing Qing's actions must not be forgiven lightly... If the intention to assassinate the emperor can still be treated with tolerance, then won't more people want to do that in the future?The emperor must intimidate|frighten the world, to make an example!

She didn't want to leave the impression of being insulted|humiliated to King Gaoyang and the world after she died, so she simply turned her heart into ashes, who could do anything to her?

Thinking of this, Miao Jin got up to prepare firewood and oil.

... People are coming and going on the street, and many officials and followers are going to court.Jing Qing took a bite of the remaining steamed bun on horseback, and several of his followers also bought steamed stuffed buns, spitting hungrily beside them.

At this moment, a child looked at the bun shop for a while, looking pitiful, and then walked towards Jing Qing.

When the child was a few steps away from Jing Qing, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bosom, and ran towards Jing Qing!Jing Qing stared at the child, but before he could react for a while, the child had already rushed to the side of the horse, stabbed Jing Qing's waist three times with a dagger!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Jing Qing screamed three times, and immediately pressed his waist, blood was already dripping from the official robe and between his fingers, and he also fell from the horse.When the servants dropped their buns and ran towards this side, the child unexpectedly stabbed Jing Qing several times in the chest and abdomen.

Several people hurriedly held the boy down and shouted loudly: "There are assassins! Come on, there are assassins..."

"Fake benevolence, hypocrisy, traitors and treacherous ministers, everyone will be punished!" said the child with blood-red eyes.His voice was thick, and only then did people realize that the murderer was not a child at all, but an adult dwarf!

After being turned over, the dwarf shouted desperately: "Murderer, Fang Zhongyi, son of loyal minister Fang Gong!"

Jing Qing stared, with blood on his hands, pointing at the dwarf, "You...I..." But finally he didn't say a word, his face turned pale and his head was thrown to the ground.

"My lord, my lord!" The servant called Jing Qing in a panic, he was stabbed in the vitals several times, but where was there any movement?

The news spread to Jing's mansion very quickly, and the mansion burst into tears. Mrs. Jing was crying, and Miao Jin hurriedly took her slaves to bring the corpse back to the mansion. The dagger was quietly taken away.

... At this time Zhu Di was in the morning court, and when he saw the eunuch Zheng He bent over and walked under the throne with an anxious look on his face, Zhu Di beckoned.Zheng He stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Censor Jingqing was stabbed to death by Fang Xiaoru's adopted son on the way to court!"

Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, he nodded and remained silent.

It was not until the early court was over that Zhu Di called Zheng He to come and question him carefully.Zheng He said: "Your Majesty, that Fang Zhongyi is a dwarf. He was originally from Fang Xiaoru's hometown. Due to natural disasters and plagues in the village, both parents died. Fang Xiaoru adopted him as an adopted son and raised him in the house for many years. He usually taught him the morality of scriptures and taught him the morality of scriptures. Named Zhongyi..."

Zhu Di was very angry when he heard this, with a murderous look on his face.

Zheng He carefully reminded: "Fang Xiaoru has been detained, and this matter should not be his instigation. It is only because before the capital city was destroyed, Jing Qing, Fang Xiaoru, and Lian Ying agreed to commit suicide to die for the country to show their loyalty; and Lian Ying was dead, Fang Xiaoru also Refusing to surrender, only Jing Qing survived. That dwarf must have killed Jing Qing to vent his anger because of this matter."

Zhu Di said coldly: "I originally thought that Fang Xiaoru only wrote articles, but I didn't expect him to raise dead men! Killing my loyal ministers today, will he also want to kill me tomorrow?"

Zheng He was taken aback, bowed quickly and said, "This thief deserves death!"

Zhu Di said: "My minister, if you want to kill him, you can kill him? Immediately send Ji Gang an audience."

Zheng He hurriedly said: "The servants take the orders."

Zhu Di suppressed his anger, and pondered again: "There is a minister to pass the decree, to bury Jingqing generously, and to rectify his name, I want to bestow his posthumous title 'Zhonglie'."

……

Zhu Gaoxu is a vassal king, and the palace he was assigned was far away from the imperial city, so he did not go to court.It was almost noon when he heard the news that Jing Qing was stabbed to death by Fang Xiaoru's adopted son.

He was surprised at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he was immediately overjoyed!

This is true: there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!Fang Zhongyi appeared out of nowhere, and Zhu Gaoxu never knew that there was such a powerful character, and he immediately solved his troubles that he couldn't find a way to solve!

Jing Qing was not killed by Zhu Gaoxu, and had nothing to do with it, so he was not Miao Jin's murderer of his father and enemy.And once Jing Qing died, Zhu Gaoxu was busy rescuing Miao Jin, so he didn't have to do anything, because the key person in the matter no longer existed.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a burst of relief, as if he had suddenly unloaded fifty catties of armor.

He immediately wanted to raise his head and laugh out loud, but when he glanced at the servants lying upside down outside the room, he held back again. He had no choice but to suppress the joy in his heart, raised his head and took a deep breath.On the one hand, he was very happy, but on the other hand he couldn’t express it, like he couldn’t sneeze, making his mother feel a little uncomfortable; at the same time, it seemed that a woman who had had skin-to-skin contact with him opened her mouth and wanted to express it loudly, but insisted on His face was flushed from holding back, and his face seemed to be in pain, which made people feel flustered.

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the inverted room expressionlessly, dismissed Hou Hai, and walked towards the gatehouse.

When he arrived at the inner mansion, he met Yao Ji, Yao Ji glanced at him, then asked with a smile, "Why is your lord so happy?"
