Ning Gu

At the end of autumn, the days are short, and the sound of insects gradually subsides.

Xie Wuling gradually woke up after taking the flail for a few days, the old servants of the Wang family and the young servants of the Lu family also sent a lot of precious medicinal materials for the Lord as a token of their love.

Xianzhi frowned when he heard the imperial doctor say something similar to Hu Zheye, and patiently explained it to Zhao Zuo, probably saying that it was Xie Wuling's old foundation, and he was good at life and will be raised, so there will be no serious problems.

In other words, the beautiful brother is better.

The world of children is always much simpler. They love to be close to beautiful things, and they also love everyone who can leave beautiful things behind.Ever since Xie Wuling knew that Xie Wuling was getting better, Xianzhi liked to rely on Xie Wuling to talk small things, such as what words he learned today, such as his husband is not good, and asked when Xie Wuling would teach him; there are some trivial things in life, and some unknown For example, Xianzhi's biological mother has passed away, and the current "Liang Zhuo" is not the original Liang Zhuo.

But these just passed Xie Wuling's ears, since he woke up, he was always sleepy.

Especially after he saw Zhao Zuo, either the hatchback was silent, or the hatchback was silent...

Zhao Zuo thought it was what happened that day, and broke Xie Wuling's arrogance, so he called the little slave who had been with him for more than ten years to serve him by his side.

And I mostly waited until late at night when he fell asleep before going to visit him.

Zhao Zuo was released from the palace by his father that night.It was too late, Xie Wuling should have rested, so he walked to the door of Xie Wuling's house.

Before he opened the door, he heard Xianzhi chattering and yelling incessantly in the room.

During this month, Zhao Zuo had no time to take care of Xianzhi because of the affairs of the Yongguo government.

After all, there are several books on his impeachment, although the few people Xie Wuling asked him for before helped him at this time, blowing the gale in Zhao Xiu's party and selfishness.

But before the Holy Majesty's condemnation decree came down, he made a move on Yong Guogong's mansion.

Although he obeyed Xie Wuling's mercy, he was caught by Liang Hou when he made a move.

The Liang clan has been holding on to him for the past few days, Concubine Zhen can naturally see it, so she calls him to the palace for several days in a row, giving him the opportunity to have dinner and play chess with his father.

He can't get rid of Concubine Zhen's affection, but he doesn't know if his father and emperor will receive it or not, and how much he will receive.

The only thing that could be guessed was that this winter might not be easy.

He sighed, pushed the door and went in, nodded to Xie Wuling's eyes towards the door, and said to Xianzhi in a cold voice: "It's late at night."

Xianzhi pursed his lips, and when he said it, he turned over and went to Xie Wuling's bed, lying on the inside of the bed, covered his face with a quilt, and said rascally: "Sleep, sleep, Xianzhi fell asleep."

This kind of childishness made Xie Wuling laugh, and responded with some protection: "Well, I'm asleep," and said angrily to Zhao Zuo, "Keep your voice down, don't bother him."

Only then did Xianzhi poke his eyes out from under the quilt, blinked at Xie Wuling, and then closed his eyes as if nothing had happened, Xie Wuling understood, and also pursed his lips into a smile.

Zhao Zuo had no choice but to pamper him helplessly, and then told him: "Now you can pamper him, but no one will pamper him when he enters the palace in the future."

Xie Wuling thought to himself, don't you indulge him too?Why is it that only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?

Thinking about it, he glanced at Zhao Zuo and said nothing else.

Ke Xianzhi seemed more excited, lifted the quilt again, stood up and said, "Going to the palace? Daddy, can I see my aunt?"

"Well. You will follow your aunt in a few days."

"How long will you be back?" Xianzhi looked at Zhao Zuo and then at Xie Wuling and said, "Brother beauty, Xianzhi still needs to take care of him."

"Don't worry, you've had enough fun. Daddy will pick you up and you'll come back. Your beautiful brother has his own plans." Zhao Zuo glanced away as he spoke.

In fact, he hasn't figured out where to place Xie Wuling, but Xie Wuling doesn't need his arrangements.

Xie Wuling seemed to hear something from these words, but Zhao Zuo didn't tell him a few days ago, so he wanted to stop asking, but now that Zhao Zuo mentioned it, he tentatively asked: "The wind is still biased?"

Zhao Zuo was taken aback by his question, and nodded after reacting for a while: "Yeah." He added, "But it's okay, you're good at life. Don't ask about this matter."

"Okay," Xie Wuling nodded without hesitation, and Zhao Zuo's brows relaxed with some inexplicable trust.

Xie Wuling patted Xianzhi, told him to lie down, and said softly: "There is one more thing."

"Ok?"

"Today's medicine is too bitter! Daddy, it's so bitter that the beauty brother can't hold the candy!" Xie Wuling was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Xianzhi, and it was not a small interruption.

These words provoked Zhao Zuo to come to the bed again, with a bit of urgency that Zhao Zuo didn't realize, he grabbed Xie Wuling's wrist, looking a little trembling.

Xie Wuling frowned, raised his other hand to brush his sleeve, pushed Zhao Zuo's hand, and brought his own hand back, with a forced smile in his eyes: "It's true that your candy is not sweet enough. , I didn't hold it steady. No problem, no problem."

Xianzhi didn't lie down honestly, but lay down next to Xie Wuling, and looked at Zhao Zuo with a look of understanding, as if to say, "Look, I said that the medicine is bitter, but Daddy still doesn't believe it."

Xie Wuling raised his hand and touched Xianzhi's head, his eyes were full of tenderness for a moment, very much like the person Zhao Zuo saw in Zhaoxing in the spring, Zhao Zuo's heart was startled for a moment.

This was the feeling Liang Zhuo had never given him.

Zhao Zuo was dazzled by his smile and lost his mind for a moment.A person like Xie Wuling, in about ten years, 20 years...will still be the boy playing the piano under the peach blossom tree.

Zhao Zuo left before dawn the next day. After he left, Xie Wuling got up and asked Xiao Nu to write the letter for him.

The words in the letter are full of fluffy things, Xianzhi thought he understood, but when Xianzhi grows up, he understands that the fluffy and fluffy things in the letter are all Xie Wuling using the things behind Zhaoxing to help Zhao Zuo Just do it.

However, Xie Wuling assigned the things behind Zhaoxing to different people later on. For example, Zhao Shi, the lord of Xuancheng, held the news that Zhaoxing collected from all over the world.But that's all for later.

In front of those Zhao Zuo told Xie Wuling not to care about, Xie Wuling actually helped Zhao Zuo secretly all the time when Zhao Zuo couldn't see them.

What Xianzhi remembers most clearly is the day he was sent to the palace by Zhao Zuo.

Hui Emperor Zhao Qi made several new orders, one was to execute the officials involved in the Xishan Porcelain Kiln, and the other was to deal with Zhao Zuo.

In this bright yellow, he was punished to go to the Yashan Forbidden Hall to cultivate his body and cultivate his character because of his perverse personality, pampering and coquettishness.

Suddenly there was an uproar in the temple, some people were smiling, some were frowning, and some were calm.

The phrase "Unpredictable King's heart" has been spread among the Fufeng nobles, and only these two princes left the palace, one of them won't even be able to leave the mansion, and the other was sent directly to another place.

Speaking of which, on the eve before the decree came down, Zhao Zuo glanced at the sleeping adults and children in this room, and then took the decree and left.

Before dawn the next day, Xianzhi woke up suddenly, saying that he had a nightmare and clamoring for his father.He didn't even listen to Xie Wuling's words, and it took half a morning to stop.

According to the old rules, Zhao Zuo would always have a meal with Xianzhi at noon.Watching the sun rise, Xie Wuling saw that he was finally about to take a breath, only then did he pay attention to the noises outside, and discovered the abnormality in the mansion.

At that time, he was coaxing Xianzhi to sleep, so he got up, leaned on the wall and walked out, seeing half of the Ezi Nuer waiting outside, he was instantly taken aback.

It wasn't until I explained it to Xiao Nu who was waiting by my side in the past few days that I understood the meaning.

The current "Liang Zhuo" in the mansion is the trick of Zhao Zuo and Li Daitao.In the final analysis, she was just the ezi raised by Concubine Zhen for several years, and she couldn't be the master.

According to Zhao Zuo's meaning before leaving, Xie Wuling will take care of the entire mansion.

Xie Wuling supported the door and stood there for a long time, not so much that Zhao Zuo trusted him and entrusted him, but actually wanted to imprison him.

He wanted to thank Wuling for his good life and general care, so he tied him up with the trivialities of the people in this family; he wanted to thank Wuling for not running around, so he used the trivialities of the people in this family to oppress him.

But how could Xie Wuling be restrained by him?At least regarding the matter of Zhao Congshan, Xie Wuling never thought of letting go, even if one day Zhao Zuo accepted his fate and would not fight or snatch it, he would fight for him and snatch it for him.

Because Xie Wuling couldn't forget the grandson of the jade crown who held a cup in Zhaoxing and told him about the world.

Xie Wuling pointed out a small slave to pack Xianzhi's luggage, and said that he would send Xianzhi into the palace in the afternoon, and sent "Liang Zhuo" to leave in a few days to accompany Zhao Zuo, and bring him a message to Zhao Zuo, and then dispersed everyone , just went back to the house.

Back in the house, Xie Wuling propped himself up, sat in front of the desk, held the lake pen, supported his right wrist with his left hand, and tried his best to write steadily.

I don't know how many sheets of paper were wasted, until Xianzhi woke up, and finally finished writing two letters.

Xie Wuling handed the letter to the slave who was waiting outside the door, directed one to be sent to Lingjian temple, and entrusted one to Xianzhi's wet nurse, so that she could bring it to Concubine Zhen when she entered the palace.

When Xianzhi woke up later in the morning, Xie Wuling called the little slave to bring Xianzhiwen's lunch. During this period, Xianzhi was much quieter, and he didn't make any noise for Zhao Zuo anymore. Maybe it was because Zhao Zuo's original instructions suddenly came to nothing. Xianzhi worked, maybe Xianzhi also felt that Xie Wuling around him was different from the people who treated him normally.

But when Xianzhi took a closer look, his beautiful brother seemed to be the same beautiful brother.He had lunch in front of Xie Wuling, and Xie Wuling told him that Aunt Yuan Bao's car to pick him up had been waiting for him for a long time.

After hearing this, he jumped up and rushed out of the mansion gate, Xie Wuling couldn't match his footsteps, he came slowly with the support of the little slave, stood in front of the mansion gate, stopped talking a few times.

Finally, he waved his hand at Xianzhi, then looked at the wet nurse behind Xianzhi who was protecting him, and nodded to her.Only then did the coachman get on his horse and set off.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that he got into another carriage that was parked beside the mansion at some unknown time, and told the little slave to guard the mansion carefully, and then he was gone.

On the night after Xie Wuling left, the gossip in the family started, they only said that he was facing a catastrophe, they fled separately, wrote a few letters, and they were just pretending to call for rescuers.

Of course, this conversation fell into "Liang Zhuo"'s ears before the night passed, "Liang Zhuo" frowned, not knowing how much he believed it, and finally scolded those ezi slaves, and then turned around to obey Xie Wuling's order , ready to go south to Yashan where Zhao Zuo was condemned.

And Xie Wuling, who was being talked about by those ezi slaves, was hiding himself under the black hood, stepping into the night, into a large hall in Chongque - Changming Hall.

The Changming Hall is a hall in the middle of the Chongque. The hanging ridge is decorated with swallowing beasts, which is all solemn.

However, this place is the place where the Holy Majesty sleeps, and without permission, others are not even allowed to enter the courtyard.It is the most strictly controlled place in Chongque, and it is also the place with the most secrets in Chongque.The maidservants and eunuchs serving here also issued a password-locking order.

Before Xie Wuling stepped in, he was told by the eunuch that he had to be more cautious when entering this place, after all, the people in Changming Palace were beyond the reach of Concubine Zhen.

Xie Wuling nodded, looked up at the gray cloud above his head, and let out a long sigh.

Today, Fufeng ushered in its first snow in early winter. It is said that it is bigger than in previous years. The yellow tiles seem to be covered with white, and the yard in front of the Changming Palace is no exception.

Xie Wuling took off his hood, let the eunuch lead him to the corridor, and finally stopped in the courtyard, looking at Emperor Hui who had his back turned to him.

Xie Wuling's face was pale, and before he saluted, he heard Emperor Hui speak, with a kind of deepness, and a little less steady, as if he was talking to an old friend, or to a close relative: "Are you here? Stop saluting, you and I, when did you respect etiquette?"

Xie Wuling's attitude of wanting to come to him seems to be related to the letter Xie Wuling handed over.In other words, it has something to do with Xie Wuling's master.

Xie Wuling's handwriting is inherited from his master, and he has a seven-point resemblance with his master, but Xie Wuling's temperament is wild, and his handwriting should be more flying. Trembling involuntarily.He must be more cautious in writing, it seems that he is much more restrained than before, but he is quite similar to Xie Wuling's master.

If this is the case, Xie Wuling thought that he might not be able to accept the love he gave to his master, so he bowed his knees on the snow and said: "Caomin Zhaoxing Xie Pingzhi, pay homage to my emperor."

It was these words that attracted Emperor Hui to raise his eyes, carefully sizing up the person behind him who bowed and kowtowed.

The suspicion lingered on his face for a short while, then disappeared, and he said again: "You, are you Pingzhi? Then... your master, are you alright?"

"Well." Xie Wuling raised his head and said again, "Master also wants me to greet you on his behalf."

"Him?" Emperor Hui paused for a while, then laughed, but Xie Wuling could hear a bit of self-mockery, "I'm afraid he won't greet me in this life. Child, you are lying."

Xie Wuling bit his lip, he really didn't expect that he would hit the gun.

"Tell me, what do you want," the man in the hall walked towards him, and said, "I think that Zhaoxing's people came to Chongque, and it's not just to say hello."

"Zhaoxing has always been telling stories to you. I am so young, I just want to tell a story if I have the guts."

"There is no need to tell a story, just tell it directly, I will not offend you."

I don't know if it's because the snow is too cold or what, Xie Wuling took a deep breath and said: "Zhaoxing asks for someone."

"Who?"

"Zhao Zuo."

Emperor Hui stopped when he heard the sound, and looked down at the man in green shirt who was kneeling on the snow with condescending eyes like an eagle.

This man's complexion is still pale, and his lips are bloodless. In the eyes of others, he may be a terminally ill person, but they don't know how he was made. Even though he is kneeling, he still stands upright, as if there are thousands of mountains and rivers in his chest. Supported him generally.

"The widow once said that if someone pleads with Zuo, he will be punished together. But the widow just said that he will not offend you. This... the widow does not want to hear it twice."

Xie Wuling turned a deaf ear to it, and said to himself: "Pingzhi would like to trade himself for him, Zhaoxing will bear the responsibility for ten years."

"Exchange yourself for him? He deserves what he deserves, so how can we change it?"

"This is the crime of Zhao Xing, why should it be imposed on others. How can we talk about it now..." Xie Wuling sneered on his pale face, "What should I say, you don't know?"

"presumptuous!"

"Pingzhi is presumptuous. Pingzhi wanted to take shortcuts, but now Emperor Hui, you want future generations to repeat the same mistakes?"

Seeing the undisguised shock in the man's eyes, Xie Wuling paused, and then said aggressively: "Brothers kill each other, love hides from the world, is the lonely family really widowed?"

"Okay, what a lonely family," the man seemed to be choked, and flicked his sleeves.

Emperor Hui stood in the courtyard for a long time, Xie Wuling also knelt in the courtyard for a long time, so long that Xie Wuling thought that the snow on his knees should melt, and then he heard Emperor Hui say again: "You begged for Zhaoxing? That's what happened just now The words are also what Zhaoxing said?"

Xie Wuling couldn't figure out the reason for his question, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "What Cai said just now is Ping's idea, and it has nothing to do with Zhaoxing."

"Oh? Just now I begged for someone for Zhaoxing, but now it has nothing to do with Zhaoxing, so little gentleman, after all, the person who is Zhaoxing is still me."

Xie Wuling was caught in his heart by his sudden question, but the words seemed familiar. It seemed that he had asked Liang Zhen in the Yongguo mansion at that time, but Liang Zhen's final answer was to complete the Liang family as his daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and to be the concubine. The name put aside the relationship with the Liang family and Yong Guogong.

What about Xie Wuling?

The question of what he wants, he came here for Zhao Zuo, but he took advantage of Zhao Xing and worked in Zhao Xing's name.

Seeing that Xie Wuling was silent, Emperor Hui said again: "Little Mister, let's calm down here and think about it carefully. I hope I can get a good answer from you tomorrow."

However, before tomorrow came, Xie Wuling passed out in the snow.

Xie Wuling fell into a blanket of white, in his hazy vision, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the indigo clothes corner of Xianzhi outside the unclosed door.
