Fragrance in the wind

Chunyufeng looked back at him with icy eyes, raised his hand and waved, and the Imperial Forest Army in front of him was instructed to rush towards Zizhou.

In the chaos, with a clang, Zizhou pulled out one of the swords of the Imperial Forest Army, put it on his neck without any hesitation, raised his head and said, "Whoever dares to move again, I will kill myself on the spot."

The hall fell silent in an instant, and even a needle could be heard.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Chunyufeng walked steadily with every step, staring at the knife in his hand with extremely piercing eyes, and there was a smile on his lips, but the rigidity of that smile made the hearts of the people present tremble.Zizhou's lips trembled violently, his eyes fixed on the demon-like calm expression of the other party, and he slowly raised his hand to hold the blade in his hand. The blade was very sharp, and the blood rolled down drop by drop along the gap between his fingers .

"Your Highness...no!" Fu Zhi knelt on the ground with trembling legs.

"Xiao Zi..."

Zizhou was in a trance for a while, and suddenly heard the voice of the master, he immediately woke up, and realized the current situation again, with a sudden thought, he grasped the handle of the knife and pulled it out from Chunyu Feng's hand, the blade soaked in blood in the blink of an eye Already put it on the neck of the other party, "Please give the order of the father, let Taifu Huan go!"

Chunyufeng frowned, the injury on the palm of his hand was not serious, and even his whole heart was clenched into a ball. He looked at Zizhou with a gray face, and pulled a sad smile at him: "If you don't Let it go, maybe you will kill me!"

"Your Highness... No! Absolutely no! He is your father!" Fu Zhi kowtowed frequently in horror.

"Today I threatened my father with a sword, and I never thought that my father would let me go. Now my master and I are both waiting for a crime." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Huan Xinghong who was shocked by his actions. , said with a sad smile: "Master, let's leave here together!"

Huan Xinghong's eyes were red, his lips had a strange purple color, his whole body was like tens of thousands of ants gnawing on him, seeing Zizhou doing so for him, he felt that everything he did was worth it.

At this moment, a servant rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother..."

Before the words were finished, the Queen Mother had already barged in with a dignified expression. When she first saw the situation in front of her, she knelt down suddenly without saying anything.

"Mother, why is this?" Chunyu Feng asked with a frown.

"The Ai family knows that no matter what you do, you can't stop the emperor's decision." The queen mother looked up at the emperor's eyes, and said sadly: "But please remember that the old woman has devoted herself to raising the emperor for so many years, and leave this only one to the Huan family. blood, so that the old woman can face Quan Xia's father after she dies."

"Mother!" Chun Yufeng said in disbelief, "You should get up before we talk!"

The Empress Dowager ignored it, and prostrated herself at the Emperor's feet and said, "Over the past 20 years, the Empress Mother has never interfered with the Emperor's affairs, nor has she asked the Emperor for anything, because the Ai family knows that it is not easy to be the Emperor, so they try not to bother you. Xing Hong Although he committed a crime, it is not unforgivable, please let the emperor see him as a witness."

The queen mother's words are understood with reason and emotion, and her tone is even more sad and sad.Chunyufeng fell silent, the previous aura had already been half wiped away by the empress dowager's intimate words, Zizhou also loosened the knife in his hand a bit.

After a long while of silence, Chun Yufeng said: "I will hand over this case to Ting Wei's Mansion, and I will not interfere with the outcome of the sentence."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager quickly said gratefully: "The Ai family thanked the emperor for that."

This is the only way things have progressed to this point.Chunyufeng motioned with his eyes for Fu Zhi to help the queen mother up.After the mediation by the queen mother, the knife in Zizhou's hand fell unconsciously, and the Imperial Forest Army retreated to the dark place at some point.

But just when everyone thought that this turmoil would eventually pass, a mouthful of hot blood gushed out from the corner of Huan Xinghong's mouth.

"younger brother……"

"Master..." With a sudden change, Zizhou cried out, throwing away the knife in his hand, leaning down to see more blood pouring out of the master's mouth like a spring, and crying vaguely in a trembling voice: "Master... Here, what's going on here?"

Huan Xinghong raised his sleeve to wipe off the blood from his lips, smiled at Zizhou, and said, "Xiao Zi, don't be afraid!"

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Chunyufeng call Fuzhi to summon the imperial physician, so he said to stop him, "It's useless!" He still kept a slight smile on his face, "I took the poison, there is no cure for this poison in the world, and there is not much time left Already!"

Zizhou was stunned for a while: "Master, why are you doing this?"

Huan Xinghong's thin face was a little bit bitter, his eyes glowed with longing, "Probably because I miss Yuzhen so much, she has been walking alone for so many years, I should have gone down to accompany her long ago."

"Brother, why are you so stupid? It's been so many years, why can't you forget her." The queen mother burst into tears, and the grief of losing her siblings made her look a few years older.

"Third sister, thank you!"

"You are my younger brother, these are what I should do." The Queen Mother whimpered.

Huan Xinghong raised his trembling hand to wipe away the tears on Zizhou's cheeks, "Xiao Zi, leave him!"

As soon as these words came out, Zizhou's whole body froze like a thunderbolt.

Forcing to stabilize the disordered breath, the voice came from the throat, "You can't control that person's temperament. You can't bear the consequences of being with him... My Xiaozi is so good...it's really not worth ruining yourself On such a filthy road, you are still young... When you grow up, you will understand that there are many beautiful things waiting for you in the world, as long as you are willing to let go of those things that should have been abandoned, because they are too dirty and too heavy So much so that you can't start over with them on your back."

After hearing this, Zizhou turned his icy eyes to Chunyufeng who was facing him. His stern face was bloodless, his arms were still trembling, and there was a little panic in his eyes. What was he afraid of?

After some words came out, the Queen Mother seemed to have heard the most absurd thing in the world, and suddenly shivered, flinched involuntarily, wandered between the two with astonished eyes, and said tongue-tiedly: "You... You...you are father and son!"

At this time, Chunyufeng's neck was full of veins, and he shouted, "We are not father and son!"

"What did you say?" the Queen Mother asked in disbelief.

Chunyufeng felt that the temperature in his body was slowly losing, everything was out of his control, he suddenly realized what he would lose in the future, pointed at Huan Xinghong and said, "He is Zizhou's biological father!"

Zizhou, the queen mother was stunned on the spot.

Huan Xinghong said slowly: "I thought about taking Yuzhen away, but she insisted on this, insisted on giving birth to you, and used your life to remind her of her existence. She is using her son to take revenge on herself. Husband, she buried herself in this relationship, should she also bury you?"

"Are you really my father?" Zizhou choked up and asked.

Huan Xinghong nodded.

Zizhou cried, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Huan Xinghong raised his hand and wiped away the tears on Zizhou's face: "I only found out after you went to the battlefield, but it's not too late now."

Zizhou suddenly remembered something, biting his wrist frantically.

Huan Xinghong said sadly: "Don't hurt yourself, it's useless."

Zizhou didn't listen, and put his wrist into Huan Xinghong's mouth, "Drink it, it'll be fine, it's fine..."

Chunyufeng couldn't bear to see him hurting himself like this, and stepped forward to grab Zizhou's hand: "Zhou'er, don't do this!"

Zizhou threw Chunyufeng away violently, and shouted, "Don't worry about it!"

Chun Yufeng was stunned.

Huan Xinghong said weakly, "Xiao Zi, listen to me!"

Zizhou hugged Huan Xinghong tightly and said, "Okay, I'll listen."

"Promise father not to take revenge on others for your mother! The grievances of the previous life have nothing to do with you. Xiaozi should have her own life. This is too unfair to you, so give up!" Huan Xinghong exhausted the last bit of internal strength to support After finishing the remaining words, he was already dying, but still stubbornly said: "Promise... give up!"

The blood gradually solidified, and Huan Xinghong's voice gradually weakened.

"...Xiao Zi..., I beg you for the first time and the last time for my father... Please! Go after what you want..."

"Don't carry those...too dirty...don't trap yourself in hell, please!"

"I..." Zizhou took a deep breath and fell into a deep dilemma.

"Xiao Zi, hatred... the final result is still hatred, promise..." In the end, before he had time to say the rest, he fell into a deep sleep forever in Zizhou's arms, and all the grievances and hatreds in the world have nothing to do with him since then.

"Zhou'er!" Chunyu Feng's voice was trembling.

Zizhou quietly looked at those closed eyes, and looked at himself with deep sustenance, he bit his lip hard, as if to make himself more painful and more awake, "I promise you... Father!" He spoke very softly, as if he had never said anything.It took a long time to touch those eyes that refused to rest in peace.

"Zhou'er!" Chunyufeng's heart became more and more flustered, looking at Zizhou's unresponsive face, it seemed that only his body was left, his soul was on the edge of the cliff, he stepped forward and took Zizhou's shoulders, shaking desperately He said, trying to wake up his obsession, "Zhouer! Zhouer! I don't care about revenge or use. As long as you come back, come back to me, I will give you whatever you want! OK?"

Perhaps Chunyufeng never thought that one day he would beg someone so humblely, watching Zizhou's blank eyes leave him, and then move farther and farther away, his whole heart suddenly fell down, desperately trying to catch him, but in the end what happened? I can't catch it.

The queen mother, who had been silent all this time, said sternly at this time: "Emperor, don't be obsessed with your obsession, you are both men, so...how decent!"

"Shut up!" As soon as the words came out, Chun Yufeng was startled by his recklessness and softened his breath. He choked up and said, "Queen mother, don't talk anymore! Please don't talk anymore, I really don't want to lose him." As he spoke, he Even more uneasy, he suddenly pulled Zizhou into his arms, his arms were tight and tight, and he refused to let go even to the death.

Seeing this, the empress dowager was already shocked on the spot. She has raised the emperor for more than 20 years, and she has gone through many changes. She has never seen him become so nervous because of something. He...he actually plunged himself into the abyss.

During the stalemate, there was the sound of fighting outside, Zizhou suddenly thought of something, pushed Chunyufeng away suddenly, and ran outside in a panic.

Jian Zicong, who was wearing a black robe, was surrounded by inner palace guards, dotted with stained blood on his bloodless skin, which was very strange.

"Stop! Stop everything for me!"

Seeing that the person who gave the order was the sixth prince, the imperial guards in the inner palace stopped fighting and made way out of their own accord. Zizhou rushed forward to help Jian Zicong, who was on the verge of falling, and only after a closer look did he realize that there was a scar on his black robe. Stained with blood, at that moment he suddenly understood why Jian Zicong was always dressed in black.

He doesn't like to use swords, but there is a sword in his name, so he said, just call me A Cong; he doesn't like blood, but he lives a life of licking blood from the knife edge, so he always wears a black robe, everything It's all for that person!

Jian Zicong asked, "What about him?"

Zizhou couldn't bear to answer him, but shed tears silently.

"I know... I want to see him one last time."

"I'll help you go!"

"I can go by myself!"

With every step he took, blood would drip down with the ups and downs of his steps and land on the ground. Although the distance was very short, he seemed to have walked for as long as his whole life. When he walked into the gate of the palace, he just watched from a distance. Then, no longer approaching, he stabbed himself in the stomach with the sword in his hand, and finally fell in a pool of blood.

"A Cong...Father!" Zizhou fell to his knees suddenly, his shoulders twitched non-stop, his nasal cavity let out the sound of sobbing with the utmost patience, heart-piercing and lung-piercing.After experiencing so many life and death partings at once, he was so sad that he couldn't hold on, and when his eyes went dark, he passed out.
