Beyond Gold and Jade [Rebirth]

In the Qianzheng Palace, the imperial doctors knelt on the ground, each trembling and sweating profusely.

Emperor Qingzong leaned on the dragon couch, his face was ashen, and he closed his eyes and said slowly: "Now everyone in the harem is very curious about my physical condition, and I also know that some of you may accept it. Money, or some benefits, in short, promised some things that should not be promised.”

The imperial doctors didn't dare to shout, their dark blue official uniforms were almost drenched with sweat.

After all, Emperor Qingzong had been emperor for more than ten years, it was because of his illness that his power was still there.

He sneered, opened his cloudy eyes, and said, "Why don't you dare? I'm about to die, so you don't take me seriously. However, I still have a sigh of relief. What should I say? What should I say?" Don't say it, weigh it in your heart first. If today's matter is leaked, I don't ask who it is, everyone present today, including relatives at home, will be buried with me."

"Your Majesty! You have been wronged! There are so many eyes and ears in the palace, even if you keep your mouth shut, it is inevitable that no one else will leak it..."

Emperor Qingzong waved his hand briefly and said, "I'm tired, let's all step down."

After leaving the gate of the palace, more than a dozen imperial doctors wrapped themselves in black cloaks and were sent to the carriage by the guards from the side door, before disappearing into the vast night.

The candles in the hall were brightly lit. Emperor Qingzong raised his hand, looked at the empty palm through the light, and laughed at himself for a long time.

It turns out that the emperor in the world, at the end of his life, just left with nothing.Even, because he is the emperor, he is even more pitiful than ordinary people. He has six princes and countless concubines, but at the end of the day, there is no one around him. His closest relatives may be looking forward to his death.

As a king, he was mediocre, as a father, several of his princes killed each other, and as a husband, he treated his wife coldly for many years, and the emperor and empress were at odds.The first emperor was right, he was not made to be an emperor, he couldn't keep Daegu's thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, the prince did not disappoint him.

His prince joined the army when he was more than ten years old. Without knowing it, it has been nearly seven years. Not only has he defended Daegu, but he has also driven the northern Tatars out of the country for hundreds of miles, approaching the frozen land on the northern border of the mainland. So far I dare not look back.

Although he failed in this life, at least he gave birth to a good son.

Before the crown prince returns, he wants to guard this dragon chair, which is the last thing he will do for his father and king.

========

The government of Yue State.

Several maidservants in pink carried food boxes and walked carefully towards Fenglou. A woman in front warned: "Be careful with your steps. There is a soup made by Mrs. Qin for the son. If you spill a drop, you don't have to eat it in the future." Stay in the mansion."

The maids responded repeatedly, since seven years ago, the Eldest Young Master had a sudden illness and the Duke's wife went crazy on the day of the funeral. Aunt Qin, who was bullied by everyone in the past, has become the aloof Mrs. Qin.

In this back house, the mother is always more valuable than the child.Once the eldest son is gone, the only concubine inherits the family business. In order to prevent outsiders from ridiculing, he has to raise his biological mother's status. However, the mother's family is the empress dowager's mother's family, and there is no movement for the time being because of Shangguan's family's face. All the servants in the mansion knew that once the eldest son inherited the title, raising his position would not be a matter of opening his mouth.

A daring servant girl said: "Mommy, our son is not too young, why can't we hear anything?"

The so-called movement refers to the matter of marrying wives and taking concubines. When she asked this question, several other people also looked at it curiously.

The woman raised her eyebrows, showing a mean smile, and said: "Your son's matter, when will you come to ask me, don't pretend that I don't know what you are thinking, ugly words first, our son is so beautiful I've never seen it before, so don't show off your pretty looks, it will dirty the eyes of the prince for nothing."

The girls looked embarrassed, but they didn't ask any more questions.

Arriving at Fenglou, a large number of tall and straight maple trees came into view. Walking along a path paved with red rocks, you will see a mahogany stilted building standing in the middle of the maple forest. It is conceivable that in late autumn, the garden is full of trees. Fiery red, as warm as a sea of ​​flames.

A young servant stood in front of the door, and the mother-in-law said: "I am ordered by Mrs. Qin to deliver soup to the son, please let me know."

The little servant bent over a little, and said, "Mother, just hand over the soup to the little one."

"Mrs. Qin told this old slave that he must see the son finish the soup with his own eyes. If I leave it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the business. Is there any inconvenience?"

The little boy showed distress, and said: "It's not really... I'll pass it on, little one."

After a while, the young man turned around, with cold sweat on his forehead, and bowed his head, "Nurse, please, sisters."

The woman frowned, and led the girls upstairs, the door of the attic room was only ajar, she knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in, but they were stunned in place.

I saw a slender and beautiful young man lying on a beauty chair, with black hair hanging down gently on the ground, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were thick and long, reflecting a curved shadow, he was fast asleep, It was clearly a beautiful face, but there was a silly smile on the corner of his lips.

The most eye-catching thing is those two bright red lips, which are stained with glistening water, and it is unknown who has picked them up.

A few people were in a daze, and suddenly noticed a sharp gaze sweeping over, their cheeks hurt, they hurriedly withdrew their gazes, and carefully presented the soup.

Mo Huaixuan opened the soup, first filled a small bowl, tasted the taste, then filled a bowl with a white porcelain cup, raised his hand and waved the servants back, those people ran downstairs as if they had been pardoned , how can I take care of any errands.

Even if they didn't recognize that face, no one would not recognize that red prince's brocade robe. It was the most beloved prince of the Holy Majesty - King Xiaoyao.

Because the sage said, my little five dragons and phoenix looks best match red.Since then, in the capital, except for red occasions, few people dared to wear red clothes at other times. Firstly, they were afraid of offending Xiaoyao Wang, and secondly, they knew that they were not as good looking as to avoid embarrassment.

The eldest son, Hua Hua, did not want to get married for two decades, but it was because of King Xiaoyao.The old lady suppressed her panic, walked out of Fenglou quickly, and went to Qin's yard.

Gu You was sleeping soundly, and saw a strange scene in his dream, it was raining heavily, he climbed the stone steps step by step, with fiery red maple forests on both sides, was blown to the ground by the wind and rain, stained the ground, his feet were very slippery, He fell several times, and the palm of his hand was cut by a stone, oozing a trace of bright red.

He clasped his hands and continued to climb up, and finally reached the top of the mountain, which was a small gazebo.He sat there with his knees hugged and waited, from day to night, from night to the next morning, until Brother Huaixuan came to him.

He hid his injured hand behind his back and smiled happily, but Brother Huaixuan was very angry and asked him what he wanted.

He said: "Wang Siqi said that Brother Xuan is waiting for You'er here, so You'er came..."

Mo Huaixuan's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you believe everything others say?"

"But...but Yu'er came here and really saw Brother Xuan..."

Gu You saw Mo Huaixuan carrying him down the mountain in his dream, his face was cold, and there were emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand. The elder brother of the prince was at the foot of the mountain and took him back to the palace.In the dream, he was not Xiaoyao Wang, but Jing Wang, and his father didn't like him, so he finally invited an imperial doctor to treat him. He suffered from the cold all night and had a fever for several days.

Sitting in front of his bed, the prince's elder brother asked him: "Xiao Wu, do you like Mo Huaixuan that much? Even if he doesn't like you, do you still want to be with him?"

He was so ill that he was confused, and said foolishly: "You'er wants to be with Brother Xuan forever."

The elder brother of the prince was silent for a long time, so long that he thought he had already left, but suddenly he heard him ask: "Do you not regret it?"

He said, "You'er doesn't regret it."

Later, she became brother Huaixuan's wife.Everyone in the Duke of Yue's mansion hated him. They said that it was because of him that the eldest son became the laughing stock of the whole capital, and the Duke of Yue's mansion became a joke.Later, many beautiful women came to the mansion and surrounded Brother Huaixuan all day long. He didn't understand why Brother Huaixuan was very indifferent to those women when he was hiding and peeping. Make out with them.

In the dream he kept crying.

Mo Huaixuan filled the soup and came to the bed, but saw Gu You burst into tears, his cheeks were wet, he felt a pain in his heart, he put the white porcelain bowl on the low table beside him, and embraced the slender body. In her arms, she whispered: "You'er, You'er, wake up."

Eyelashes trembling slightly, Gu You slowly opened her eyes, seeing Mo Huaixuan frowning and looking at her, thinking she was still in a dream, tears flowed even harder.

Mo Huaixuan wiped away his tears carefully, his heart ached to death, and he asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu You bit her lip and shook her head lightly. He would occasionally have such nightmares when he was young, but Brother Huang told him that it was all his wild imagination. Reality and dreams are opposite, so don't take it seriously. Don't tell others, otherwise others will think him even more stupid.

He didn't want Brother Huaixuan to think he was stupid, so he didn't say anything.

Mo Huaixuan didn't ask any further questions, he picked up the soup on the side, and said, "This soup tastes good, take a sip of it to suppress your shock."

Only then did Gu You realize that he was held in Mo Huaixuan's arms, and hurriedly got out of his arms.

Having such a dream, on the one hand, he felt ashamed, and on the other hand, he felt scared.He remembered very clearly that in the dream, brother Huaixuan treated him very well at first, but once he fell in love with him, he began to hate himself. He couldn't make such a mistake.

He took the spoon and ate it in small mouthfuls. Mo Huaixuan stared at his wet lips, which were plump in color, moist and attractive, but he didn't know it, and stretched out his small tongue to lick the corner of his lips. There was a fire burning, and he got up suddenly and walked to the window, and turned back when he calmed down a bit.

"You'er, has His Majesty summoned you in recent days?"

Gu You bit the jade white porcelain spoon, thought for a while, and said, "The last time was five days ago, when I was playing backgammon with my father, he laughed at me for my poor chess skills, and suddenly felt unwell, so he sent Eunuch Li to take me back home. They never found me."

Mo Huaixuan frowned slightly, and unfolded a note, which was written in an ancient language that was extremely difficult to read. The content was roughly that His Majesty's life was approaching, and it was time for the Crown Prince to return to Beijing.He can almost conclude that in the whole of Daegu, no more than ten fingers can recognize this kind of characters.

How did the person who sent this note know that he could understand it?And how did he know the secrets that even Yu'er didn't know?Whether he is an enemy or a friend.

Gu You leaned over to have a look, frowned carefully for a while, and said: "This character is not as good as mine, I can understand it."

Mo Huaixuan curled his lips and explained: "This is a script created by a dynasty named You thousands of years ago. Because it is difficult to write and read, this kind of script is gradually lost, and only a few ancient books remain."

Gu Youdao: "Ah Jin has a lot of ancient books in his family. A Jin said that if he secretly sells a few books, he can buy a big house in the most prosperous area in the west of the city." Speaking of this, his tone was faint envious.

"You'er thinks the palace is not big enough?"

Gu You shook his head, and said excitedly: "In the west of the city, the Zhenwei Restaurant is in the west of the city! If there is any new dish, you can taste it right away."

"..."

Mo Huaixuan thought about it seriously, if he started to learn cooking now, would it be too late?
