Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

The person in front of the carriage of the Empress Dowager saw a person coming out of the Yangguang Palace aggressively like an evil star, holding a roll of brocade quilt in his hand.He took a few steps closer and took a closer look, but it was the son of the empress dowager's direct relative in the car, Prince He Rui.

The servant didn't dare to hide anything, and he didn't dare to spread the word casually, he hurriedly turned around and went to the side of the car to look for Tong Yi, and whispered to her: "Auntie, King He Rui seems to be in front."

Tong Yi couldn't help saying this, after a while in his heart, he asked: "What does it look like?"

"Look...it's weird..."

There are some weird things that can be called King He Rui, it must not be a trivial matter.Tong Yi didn't dare to make a rash decision, she nodded and told the servant to go forward: "You go back first, I will report to the Empress Dowager."

After the servant left, Tong Yi returned to the side of the carriage, and called out through the curtain: "The Empress Dowager..."

After a tiring day, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes and rested on the soft pillow when she was resting in the car.Hearing Tong Yi's call, he only responded briefly, his eyes still squinted.

Tong Yi said: "Just now there was a little eunuch at the front to pass the word, saying that King He Rui is at the front, looking at it, it seems that something is not good."

King He Rui's son is posthumous, and the Empress Dowager dotes on him the most.Hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Tong Yi hurriedly sent a message to ask someone to stop the frame, and a servant from that compartment came to fetch a footstool, Tong Yi went up to Guilan one from the left and one from the right, and helped her to go forward.The servants in the palace retreated one after another, and followed behind the Empress Dowager in an orderly manner.

When the Empress Dowager saw King He Rui, he was standing on the air vent.A slave was kneeling beside him, his clothes were stained with blood.He kowtowed firmly and pressed his forehead against the stone slab, the top of his head was so dark that he couldn't tell who it was.

The Empress Dowager was taking a panoramic view of all this, and finally turned her attention to King He Rui.He seemed to be holding a person in his arms, wrapped in a brocade quilt, only a few strands of black hair were exposed.

"As a result..." The Empress Dowager's voice was deep and her eyes were bright: "If a slave does something wrong, he will be handed over to the Punishment Division or the Violence Room. There are places to deal with people everywhere. It is not worth being a prince like you. Do it. It's a loss of face for nothing."

Murong Zhizhi bowed his head to admit his mistake, and said: "Yes, what the empress mother said is that the son fainted for a while."

"It's not worth anything." The Empress Dowager glanced at the kneeling servant. The man seemed to be seriously injured, kneeling in the ice and snow and shivering. I don't know where he was injured. There were streaks of bright red blood on his lowered head. Even though the night is dark, it is still shocking to look at the gate of the brightly lit Yangguang Palace.The Empress Dowager still looked calm, looking at Qiannon who was kneeling beside her. "Is this a slave in your Yangguang Palace?"

Qian Nong knelt beside her, heard the words and replied: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, she is from the Yangguang Palace, called Xia Shouzhong."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and spoke with Tong Yi beside her: "Shou Zhong Zun Li is a good name. Since you have such a name, you should understand the dignity and inferiority, and you should know how to share the master's worries. Now King He Rui is hurt. He and everyone else are second, let's move him out for now. Those who serve the emperor close to him cannot tolerate any mistakes. If he gets sick and angers the emperor, it will be added to the crime."

"That's exactly what you said." Tong Yi was still smiling, "I will tell you to go down now, this servant. Tell him to move him out to live, and when he recovers, he will come back to serve the emperor."

With the final word, Qiannong couldn't help but turn pale when she saw that she couldn't say a word.And that Xia Shouzhong didn't expect that he would lose money by stealing chickens, so he asked the empress dowager to speak and moved himself out.It must be known that this Yangguang Palace is the most difficult place to enter, and everyone is rushing to do things.You went out today, but within half an hour, someone will come to replace you.Like Zhang Huaxian, he went out, and His Majesty Xu remembered that he could come back.Xia Shouzhong was just a follower of Zhang Huaxian, and he only showed his face a few times. The emperor didn't remember that there was such a person as him, so he said something else.Amid severe pain in the heart and chest tightness, shortness of breath, Xia Shouzhong felt darkness in front of him, unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed slumped.

The Empress Dowager never gave Xia Shouzhong a look, and only said to King He Rui, "It's freezing cold, what are you doing standing here? If you don't want to go back to the banquet, follow me back to Shoukang Palace. It just so happens that I haven't seen you for a while. Let's talk, mother." As they spoke, they all agreed to go to prepare a car again.

Murong Zhizhi still hugged the person in his arms tightly, and said in his mouth: "It's cold, but it makes people clearer."

If not, he would not have seen through Murong Yongkuan's true face.If it wasn't for the blossoming cold snow falling on his body, he wouldn't be so sober.Perhaps now, he thought that Murong Yongkuan would not do anything to Lin Jue.

He was holding a person in his arms, it was obvious at a glance, but the Empress Dowager just didn't know, after giving these orders, she told Murong Zhizhi to go into the car without saying a word.

Murong Zhizhi got into the car with Lin Jue in his arms, and after the car door was closed, he pushed down the brocade quilt a little, revealing a red and sweaty face inside.He only woke up for a moment, but was tightly covered in the quilt again, and he didn't know how drunk he was, even though so many things happened in the middle, he still fell asleep drowsily.

"Zijing..." He murmured, raised his hand to brush away the broken hair on Lin Jue's forehead, leaned over, and kissed his sweaty forehead. "I am willing to be a prisoner for my son, and I am willing to be a prisoner for the rest."

Such a sincere and sincere sentence, such a sentence that puts himself extremely low, has to wait for Lin Jue to fall asleep before he can say it.

Back then when Lin Jue said such harsh and cold words, he felt extremely angry, but today, when they saw each other again, he felt a bitter emotion in his heart.Lin Jue didn't owe him anything at all, because he liked him so much, he could come and leave whenever he wanted.He couldn't ask Lin Jue anything in the first place.

In the end, after thinking about it seriously, being able to hold him in his arms in such a humble way, and admiring him quietly is already enough.

The carriage drove slowly towards Shoukang Palace, and when it arrived at Shoukang Palace, the snow was getting denser.A palace maid came out with an umbrella to greet her. The Empress Dowager got out of the carriage and walked side by side, saying: "The girls are tired all day, let them go to the warm pavilion to rest, don't come to me to say hello, and then hold them back." .”

Tong Yi complied, and turned to give instructions.I also heard the Empress Dowager say: "Prepare two more braziers in the East Nuan Pavilion, so that the prince can rest for a while."

Although the Empress Dowager told King He Rui to rest, Tong Yi didn't know that she wanted King He Rui to let the person in his arms go down, so that their mother and son could talk.

When Murong got the word, although he didn't hesitate, he hugged the man himself and sent him to the Nuan Pavilion himself, and then he gave up.It was Chu Gui who was ordered to wait on him. Before leaving Nuan Pavilion, Murong Zhi added another sentence: "He is a very quiet person. If he doesn't bark inside, don't go in and look around casually. It's just that he ate two more glasses of wine, I'm afraid He will be uncomfortable after a while, and he should prepare an extra cup of sober tea."

Chu Gui paid a salute, looked at his nose, nose, and heart, and said, "Yes, I will obey the prince's orders."

Only then did he feel a little relieved, and he left the Nuan Pavilion and came to the main hall.The Empress Dowager has removed the outer cloak and put it on her bun to decorate her hair. There is only a silver engraved Longevity character dotted with Cuihuasheng, which makes her look more refreshed and energetic.

Murong Zhizhi stepped forward, lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, performing a solemn ceremony.He said: "The son is guilty."

Bian Shangtong noticed that he was kneeling, turned around and took a futon, and placed it in front of his knees.He still knelt with his head bowed and did not go up.

Seeing that he didn't move, the Empress Dowager didn't say a word, she just reached out and took the rose juice on the table to eat, quietly ate half a cup, and then said: "This is good to eat, I will give it to the girls in Xinuang Pavilion One to go."

Tong Yi responded with a smile, and didn't ask anyone to go, she bowed and slowly retreated, and the servants who were waiting on her side also followed.Tong Yi has gone, and they are standing here, but it is even more impossible.

The palace servants receded like a tide, the Empress Dowager looked at a western clock in the palace, and the sound of the clock hands moving seemed to hit people's hearts.After a long time, she finally said: "You are indeed wrong, very wrong. Blame me, you spoiled me when you were a young general. Later, you were allowed to go to the battlefield and fight your way. That's why I called you... The emperor's Yangguang Palace dared to break into it, and even the people inside dared to move."

"My son admits it's not this fault."

The Empress Dowager paused, and then slowly put down the half cup of rose juice. "You want to admit, what's wrong?"

"My son has a crush on someone."

The Empress Dowager looked at him quietly and did not speak.She had been looking forward to him saying this for a long time, but now that he really said it, she was not very happy.Just because he knows that the person he likes must be someone who cannot be touched.As long as he can get close, according to his nature, he will not come to invite this sin.

The Western clock swayed, and another quarter of an hour passed slowly.The Empress Dowager said: "It's just a court lady, even if she is serving in Yangguang Palace, she is only a court lady."

It is well known that the new emperor is not good at women.Even if she is favored like a concubine Xian, she has not yet slept in bed these days after entering the palace.The Empress Dowager thought that he was doing something in Yangguang Palace, so she thought that he had taken a fancy to the servant girl in Yangguang Palace.Because he is a member of the new emperor, he can't get close.This is the worst that the Empress Dowager thought of.

Although the new emperor is her grandson, the one kneeling in front of him is her own son.Fingers can be long or short, let alone have a loving heart.The new emperor and Murong Zhizhi are placed together, so she must hold on to Murong Zhizhi first.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Murong Zhizhi raised his head.His face was calm, but there was a desperate look in his eyes. "Lin Jue, the son of Lin Hai, Minister of the Household Department, is exactly the person his son likes."

When this sound came out, the room was instantly dead silent.The Empress Dowager was going to take the handkerchief to wipe her hands, but when she heard this, she stopped, and slowly closed her fingers, and took the fine silk handkerchief out of the way.

Murong Zhizhi sternly kowtowed: "My son is guilty, it is all his fault."

The Empress Dowager said in a hoarse voice: "Since you know you made a mistake, you should correct it."

However, there was sadness on his face: "My son thought about it, but he couldn't after all. My son is incompetent... my son... can't let him go..."
