Changqing Ci

The news of the dowry was spread throughout the imperial capital within half a day, and the confrontation between the officials and His Majesty did not seem to have happened a month ago.Your Majesty is about to leave the filial piety period, and the day of the big wedding is set in autumn, the cool season.

The court, which had been hotly contested a few days ago, became increasingly deserted. The little emperor could make many decisions by himself, and issued an edict to the six ministries for execution.No one in the court tried to challenge the king anymore, they withdrew Rong An and Xun Yi, and shocked many people. There were large troops stationed outside, and guards inside. The emperor held the military power firmly in his hands.

Wei Lingci never went to the court to discuss matters. The emperor's teacher is just a vacant post. Although she is a marshal in the army, but the emperor has not issued an edict to allow you to go to the court, she will not mention this matter, but hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting outside the city. It also needs to be solved urgently.

She went to the palace to discuss with the emperor. It was originally the time of Hai at night, and Xun Changqing was not feeling well these days, and there was a fixed time for going to bed.When it was time to go to bed, she was still receiving courtiers.

After stepping closer, Rihan took the initiative to welcome her in, pointed to the person sitting at the bottom of the hall, and whispered: "He has been pestering His Majesty for a long time, and advised His Majesty to let the prince out of prison."

Xun Yibai was traveling around these days, and found many courtiers, and wanted them to intercede in front of His Majesty, and let his father go; at the beginning, someone promised, and over time, His Majesty suppressed all the memorials, and even did not mention this matter in the early court, everyone just watched There is a contradiction.

His Majesty was young a few years ago, and he had to cater to King Pingnan and let him go. Now that His Majesty firmly holds the military power, how could he spare those who repeatedly contradicted her.

Furthermore, there are some rumors that in the early years, the prince kept His Majesty in the Imperial Capital as a hostage, regardless of his life or death. If it wasn't for her great fortune, she would have lost her life long ago.

There are fierce tigers and vicious wolves in the imperial capital. An unpopular little girl, if she is not careful, she will lose her life.Now that he has adopted the throne, there is no family affection to be missed.

These days, Xun Yibai felt the indifference of human feelings, which was even more difficult than being suppressed by the Shao family during the former emperor's time. The prison was heavily guarded, and he couldn't get in.How about his father, he couldn't find any news, so he couldn't be in a hurry.

When Wei Lingci entered the hall, the two were still at a stalemate, Xun Yibai knelt in the hall, her expression was slumped, not as high-spirited as before, she shook her head slightly, stepped forward and ordered someone to remove the teacup before Xun Changqing's case, Strangely: "You should go to bed, drinking tea is not easy to fall asleep."

Seeing that the person in front of her was slightly angry but unable to express herself, Xun Changqing found it interesting, she pulled the person to sit aside, put her hands on her knees, and signaled her to be calm, looked at Xun Yibai with a tone of expression. Han Liang: "You remind me of the old love, I want to ask, when the prince left me in the capital as a hostage, he abandoned me in exchange for the safety of the Pingnan Palace; now, the old things are happening again, and I kill him to stay in the Pingnan Palace Full of glory, you should be satisfied."

Abandoning pawns to save cars is a common thing on the battlefield, Xun Yibai knew it in his heart, but when he heard the kill word, the cold air on the green bricks under his knees penetrated into his skin, making him feel like winter in early summer, as if Feeling that the single clothes on his body were not enough to keep out the cold, he hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Pingnan Palace is willing to advance and retreat with father."

Although Xun Yibai is not as prudent as his brother, he is very filial to Xun Yi, Xun Changqing leaned there and said: "I have made up my mind, it is useless for my son to talk, it is better to go back to the mansion earlier, I can let you go to prison for a while." See, if you keep pestering me, I will drive you all back to the southwest."

In the end, Xun Changqing directly ordered someone to drag Xun Yibai out, and Rihan was the most excited. This person usually relies on the prestige of the Pingnan King and does not take people seriously. Today, she deserves this. He kicked forward and ordered the imperial guards to drive people out of the harem.

The moonlight was bright, she stood at the entrance of the hall and watched Xun Yibai's figure disappear, another person came hurriedly in the darkness, his footsteps were blown by the wind, and the official robe was lifted by the wind, her eyes widened in shock, Master's words It's time to come, and it's set to beg for mercy.

She hurried in to report that Xun Changqing was being pressured by Wei Lingci to wash and go to bed, when she heard that, she smiled helplessly, she might not be able to rest early tonight.She put on her coat again, and sat in the hall waiting for Tang Mo.

Wei Lingci was also dragged by her to sit there, and if she wanted to stay up late, the two of them should be together, and the husband and wife should be of the same heart.

When Tang Mo entered the hall, she didn't look sideways, didn't pay attention to Wei Ling's words, and said in the foreword: "Your Majesty, do you want to kill Xun Yi?"

The two looked at each other, and at the same time, a surprised light flashed across. Xun Changqing reluctantly let go of Wei Lingci's hand, sat up straight, and said with a friendly smile: "The crime of killing the king, Shouldn't he be killed? The Empress Dowager's decree has been issued long ago, and it is I who suppressed it hard."

"Your Majesty, you promised me a promise, and now I'm begging for mercy, I hope you let go of Xun Yi." Tang Mo spoke slowly, hopping with anger, but there was nothing she could do. Her master had always been a dead-headed person .

Things have changed, turning the original direction and returning to the original starting point.Xun Changqing stared carefully at Tang Mo's masked half face, but couldn't find out what this person was thinking.She regretted giving this person a promise, obviously Tang Mo had already prepared for it.

If she shouldn't, it's because she was slapping herself. She was confused, and Wei Lingci beside her was a little more cautious. Seeing that she didn't respond, she gently pushed her, "Your Majesty."

"Tang Mo," Xun Changqing came back to his senses, stepped down, helped Tang Mo up, and said with a slight smile, "You can let him go, but you have to give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I can't fulfill this promise. You can change it."

Tang Mo bowed and saluted, "A few years ago, Xun Yi was my friend's beloved. She had passed away long ago, and I asked my minister to take care of the prince. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. I hope His Majesty will agree."

Xun Changqing was slightly startled, a little anxious, and touched Tang Mo's arm in disgrace, and said anxiously: "Who is that good friend, really passed away?"

Her momentary trance fell into Tang Mo's eyes. The latter gently left her hand, took a step back, and said, "Princess Liu, who is a good friend of the prince, has long since passed away. When the blood collapsed, only you were left behind."

One sentence drove the young emperor into the abyss, she pursed her lips tightly, resisting the soreness in her heart, tears condensed but did not slide down, she still smiled and said: "So you and her are good friends, no wonder... no wonder... In this case, I will keep my promise and let him go home tomorrow."

Knowing that the emperor would not refuse, Tang Mo bowed again and then retreated. Her footsteps were flimsy, but she walked quickly, and she left Qianqiu Hall in the blink of an eye.

The people in the hall finally cried aloud, Rihan shook his head and closed the door of the hall.

Wei Lingci looked at the person squatting there, walked over quickly, pulled her up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said helplessly: "The world is impermanent, why should you be persistent, maybe..." She still chose to hide it. Don't tell her what you are not sure about, so as not to let her down again.

"But I just want to meet her, take a look at her, and know what she looks like." Xun Changqing buried his head in Wei Lingci's arms, crying naturally. She was happy for a long time, thinking of finding her, even if she couldn't believe her Recognize, see if she looks the same as in the dream, that's all.

Wei Lingci nodded, passed her fingertips through her hair, landed on the top of her head, and patted her comfortingly, "I know, I believe she won't blame you, now your illness has just recovered, don't worry about it anymore These things take a lot of trouble. We're going to bed, it's getting late."

She hugged her on the couch, ordered someone to bring some hot water over, took a clean cloth towel, wet it and covered her reddish eyes, reached out to caress Xun Changqing's cheeks, and said softly: " This matter should have been settled long ago, tomorrow I will help you to ask Tang Mo where is your mother's grave, if we have time, we will go and have a look, and I will honor your filial piety as a woman."

"Okay," Xun Changqing responded softly.

After the night watchmen extinguished the candles, they all retreated. They were supposed to be watching the night, but when Lord Wei came, they were no longer needed.

Xun Changqing tucked into Wei Lingci's arms obediently, neither of them spoke, Wei Lingci hugged her, patted her hair lightly with his fingertips, and passed the night in silence like this.

The next day, Aoki brought the palace servants to wake Xun Changqing to get up, but she was the one who woke up first, looked at the palace servants hanging their heads outside the tent, and motioned them to go out first, looked down at the sleeping person in her arms, gently She tapped her forehead, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go up."

"I don't want to go," Xun Chang heard Aoki's words early in the morning, she was really too lazy to get up, she turned over, turned her back to Wei Lingci, and buried herself in the quilt, like a bedridden child.

Wei Lingci lifted her quilt and said helplessly: "If you don't go, you and I slept together last night, and people outside who don't know will definitely criticize me, so that the king will not go to court early."

"It's not as serious as you said, can I get up?" Xun Changqing turned over and pressed on her body, licked her earlobe mischievously, kissed her deeply on her lips, and said with a smile: " That night was painful, why don't we try again tonight?"

She is not a hypocritical person. After what happened last night, she also let go of it. The past should be over after crying and sad.Looking at the beautiful and attractive woman beside her, she coaxed patiently: "I'm going to the morning court, you are not allowed to go anywhere today, and wait for me to come back in the bedroom."

Looking at the confident and beautiful face in front of him, Wei Lingci felt in a trance, and couldn't help but speak because of her scorching gaze. He forgot what he said just now, and answered her gently: "Yes, I will wait for you to come back, so can you come back sooner?" , wait too long, but I will leave."

Those eyes sucked her in like a whirlpool. Since she woke up, Wei Lingci's attitude has become gentler. The gentle watery eyes made Xun Changqing sink in again, unable to extricate himself. She smiled and said: "Sure. Come back earlier, it feels good to have someone waiting, Ah Ci, we will definitely join hands for a hundred years."

"That's natural, but your majesty, don't miss the morning court, and ordered to let the prince go," Wei Lingci reminded her with a smile, he got up before her, got dressed, called the palace servants, and washed her .

He replaced the palace maid himself, but when Xun Changqing saw her holding the court gown, he put down his raised hands again, glanced at the palace maid, and muttered: "I don't need you, they have them."

Seeing that she was displeased, Wei Lingci said with a smile, "Even if you and I get married, these things are what I should do. Why do you care about so much? Aoki and the others are so scared that they dare not speak."

Taking advantage of Wei Lingci approaching to change her clothes, she put her head on her shoulders, tilted her head and whispered: "But I don't want to tire you."

While talking in his mouth, his hands were restless, and he put his arms around Wei Lingci's waist, and the palace people beside him all smiled and bowed their heads. They only realized today that His Majesty will have a day of acting like a baby, but this queen-to-be is more talkative than expected , I think their life will be easier in the future.

Being hugged by her like this, Wei Lingci's heart softened to water, and he couldn't tie his belt. Hearing a slight laugh, he pushed her, "They are all laughing at you, stand up quickly, so as not to miss the hour."

Xun Changqing obediently stood up straight, and after getting dressed, he led the palace servants away, at this time Dongfang had just revealed his whites.

Since Wei Lingci agreed, he would not leave the Qianqiu Hall. After breakfast, he was reading a book in the hall, when Xianyun came from the outside, with a worried expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Xun is also sick. Heavy, I'm afraid it's just a few days, I've begged several times, I want to see you."

A few years ago, Xun Yiran liked Wei Ling's Ci, and even wanted to marry him as a concubine. Many people knew about these things; Xianyun also knew that His Majesty was jealous, so he dared to send a message to Miss in her early court.

........................

The second prince's mansion used to be prominent, but time has passed, without the care of the late emperor, even in spring, this place is still desolate.Weeds climbed up the walls, cracks were opened on the broken long pillars, and there were no servants in the mansion to serve.

Following the scent of the medicine, Wei Lingci found the main courtyard. There were a few women sitting there. Their clothes were clean, but the style was old. At a glance, they could be seen as Xun Yiran's wife. When they saw her, they all knelt down and saluted.

She glanced at it, then stepped into the inner room, the smell of medicine was mixed with damp and musty, filling the tip of her nose, after she entered, the imperial physicians there knew her and hurriedly saluted, "I will see Lord Wei."

People in the room kowtowed and saluted one after another, the sound startled the people on the couch, Xun Yiran opened his eyes with difficulty, and the dull eyes suddenly lit up, fleeting, he laughed at himself: "Now... I should call you Her Majesty the Queen."

The person lying on the bed has a dark yellow complexion, skin covered with bones, and only a shell is left. The former Mr. Pianpian has become such a ghost, Wei Lingci couldn't bear it, and said lightly: "You What are you looking for me for?"
