[Some of the hidden guards were sent to protect you, some were sent to protect Lu Yunshu, and the rest basically followed Qingming...] Ji Yueliu was talking about Qingming, not the emperor, but Qingming is the real one The emperor...but he also said that when the emperor was attacked in Lingquan Temple, he was accompanied by only ten secret guards...

[Brother Zigui’s father is my youngest uncle, and also the youngest brother of the Supreme Emperor and his mother...] Zigui looks similar to Qingming, and is familiar with his words and deeds. If he pretends to be Qingming and treats him No one in the palace would notice... But why did he take the risk of leaving the palace?

[It was caused at that time, but it was not caused by the black gate killer. The killers who went to assassinate the emperor that day used long swords, no bows and arrows...] What happened to being shot in the shoulder by a bow and arrow?

Where did he hit that arrow again?

With his martial arts and the hidden guards around him, how could he be so seriously injured?

and many more!

that time? !

Han Tuo suddenly thought of the incident five years ago that had been fruitless.

That happened to be the time when he was missing due to an avalanche.

"Han Tuo~" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Lu Yunshu called him a few times, "Han Tuo~ what's wrong with you?"

"Well, I suddenly have something urgent to go back, so let's go first." Han Tuo was eager to go back to ask about the past, left the imperial mausoleum in a hurry, and went down the mountain.

Went to the Zhenxi army barracks stationed outside the city.

"Old Wei~Old Wei~"

Old Wei ran out upon hearing the sound, "General, aren't you in the Imperial Capital? Why are you here suddenly? Is there something urgent?"

"Do you still remember the person who replaced me at the foot of Beilu Mountain?" Han Tuo asked while grabbing his shoulder.

"You mean that incident five years ago?" Lao Wei thought for a while and said ambiguously, "Remember, at that time, we made some guesses about that person's identity, but we didn't guess who it was until the end. Is it possible, general, do you know who it is?"

"I came to you in a hurry just to confirm this matter, so please tell me the details about that person that you still remember."

"Well then, General, let me think about it carefully."

The two entered the big tent of the barracks, and Lao Wei described the details that he thought of.

"Actually, I really don't remember much about that person. At that time, we thought you were the one who was besieged, so we rushed in quickly. Before we could meet that person, that person and his hidden guards had already shot at another person. The direction has broken through, so if I really want to say something, I really can’t say anything.”

After hearing what he said, Han Tuo was a little disappointed on his face.

"However, if you think about it carefully, he seemed to be injured when he was retreating." Old Wei frowned, trying to recall the scene at that time.

"Tell me in detail." Han Tuo looked at him hurriedly.

"It's like this," Lao Wei said while recalling, "When he left at the end, the general of the Rong tribe shot an arrow at him. I think he should have been able to block it, but I don't know why. He suddenly became unstable and was shot right in the left shoulder."

"Are you sure it's the left shoulder?" Han Tuo confirmed again.

Lao Wei thought for a while, then nodded, "I'm sure."

Han Tuo stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks, Old Wei."

After speaking, he left in a hurry like the wind.

Lao Wei stood up and watched him leave, feeling a little confused.

Han Tuo left the camp and rushed back to the Imperial Capital immediately.

It turned out that he really didn't feel wrong back then, the person who saved him was Qing Ming.

For him, he did not hesitate to let his senior brother stay in the palace instead of him, and quietly ran to the northwest to find him.

Not only was he seriously injured, but he also missed an important opportunity for treatment.

Not only that, his senior brother died in that assassination instead of him.

He didn't know how deep the relationship between Qingming and Zigui was, but after thinking about it, he understood how regretful and sad it must be if his good brother who had been with him for many years died for him!

The most important thing is that at such an important time, not only did he fail to be by his side, he also didn't know what kind of pain he was suffering!

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, with a mocking smile on his lips.

What can he do now that he knows?

I have missed five years, and I am afraid that he no longer needs his care.

And what qualifications does he have, and in what capacity does he care about him?

Han Tuo couldn't help thinking dejectedly.

"Go, go, don't stand in the way here, go beg somewhere else~" Xiaoer's voice of chasing beggars caught Han Tuo's attention.

He subconsciously looked in that direction, and inadvertently saw a man and a woman coming out of it.

A short memory suddenly flashed through my mind.

That happened by chance before he left the Imperial Capital six years ago.

It seemed to be just a few days after Qingming and him met at night for the last time.

He happened to see Zigui and a woman walking out of the restaurant hand in hand.

Because that person was Zigui, he took a special look at the face of the intimate woman beside him.

It must be because of that time that he felt that Tao Jin looked a little familiar at the reception banquet. At that time, he thought it was because he had met Su Jin at the dinner party before, so he felt familiar.

Thinking about it now, it turned out to be because of that time.

Wait a minute, if he was not mistaken, Qingming's senior brother should be in a pleasing relationship with that Miss Su.

Then how could Su Jin enter the palace to marry Qingming?

Thinking about it this way, based on time, if Qingming really fell in love with his queen, why would he risk going to the northwest to find him when she was pregnant with Liujia?

Just solved one problem and now found another one.

Could there be other secrets about everything back then that he didn't know?

How many things did Qingming hide?

The more Han Tuo thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became. These messy things mixed together caused him countless problems. He really wanted to rush to the palace and bring these problems in front of that person, so that he could understand clearly. ask clearly.

Does he love him or not?

If you don't love him, why take the risk to find him in the northwest?

If you love him, why don't you tell him clearly and unilaterally cut off the relationship between them?

And why did you leave a note in that bluestone?

What do those two words mean?

……

Han Tuo returned home in a daze with countless questions.

No matter how many questions there are, he knows that he can't ask them, and he knows that if he asks, that person will not answer.

A few days later, a news suddenly came out from the capital, which caused quite a commotion in the imperial capital.

General Han Tuohan ransomed You Lan, the head of the Fangcao Pavilion, and then brought her back to the Han Mansion, and then it was reported that the Han Mansion was preparing for a marriage.

The common people are talking about that General Han wants to marry her, but doesn't he still have a wife who is pregnant with Liujia and will accompany him on the battlefield?

Ingratitude, empathy, ungratefulness... For a while, there were many discussions about Han Tuo's character.

People are speculating on what the hell is going on.

Of course, this matter also spread to the palace.

When Qing Ming heard about this, he didn't say a word, but just sat quietly for an hour, his face was almost transparent, as if he would disappear at any moment.

A few days later, Lu Yunshu and Mu Lei entered the palace together to seek an audience.

Like last time, Qingming invited them to meet in the Royal Garden.

Food and drink are ready on the table.

Qingming was sitting at the table, and when he saw them coming, he smiled slightly, "There's no need to salute, come and sit."

The palace people went down knowingly.

Immediately, there were only three of them left in the pavilion of the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, why do you seem to be thinner again?" Lu Yunshu looked at Qing Ming who was getting thinner and paler in shock, "Have you had a good rest?" He stepped forward and asked with concern.

Qingming waved his hands indifferently, "It's okay, it's all the root cause of the disease left before, and it can't be recuperated."

"The two of you came here together today, you probably have something important to tell me." Looking at the unusually harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, he guessed what they were going to say today, and Qing Ming talked about the topic without a trace lead to themselves.

He poured a glass of wine for each of them.

"Your Majesty, I...I have decided to go to Gudan with Mu Lei." Lu Yunshu mustered up the courage to finish speaking.

Mu Lei looked at the people around him tenderly, and tightly held his hand under the table.

"Do Xiang Lu and Aunt Huang know about it?"

"We plan to confess to them in a few years." After all, Lu Yunshu still didn't dare to tell them this matter so early.

Qing Ming nodded, "It's okay, after a few years, even if you don't tell them, they probably understand the relationship between you, and it would be better for them to accept you slowly."

"This is the peace treaty. Gudan and Dazhou have lived in peace for a hundred years without aggression against each other. The people of the two countries can communicate with each other." Mu Lei took out the peace treaty from his body and handed it to Qing Ming.

Qing Ming took it over and put it aside casually, "Tomorrow, I will issue a letter of credence and inform the people of Dazhou."

"In addition, I will appoint Yun Shu as the inspector of the three towns in the south of Dazhou, who will be in charge of all matters related to the business exchanges between Dazhou and Gudan. He will handle all the official affairs related to Gudan. Is that okay?" Before he said the words of refusal, he said: "Of course, I will send officials with me to help you handle various affairs, so you don't have to worry about being incompetent."

Lu Yunshu smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't blame me for arranging an official position for you. You must have a proper reason for leaving Beijing. This is the best reason."

"We understand the emperor's kindness." Mu Lei took his words and thanked Yun Shu, "So, I will do it first as a respect, and thank the emperor for fulfilling it."

After speaking, he raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

Qing Ming also picked up the cup and drank with him.

"Cough cough~" After drinking for the first time, Qing Ming coughed unaccustomed.

"Your Majesty, is your body really all right?" Lu Yunshu was a little worried.

"It's okay, it's just that I drank too much." Qing Ming waved his hands and said with a smile, "You drink too, maybe this is the last time I drink with you."

"No, I will come back every year, and then we will drink together again."

"Okay." Qing Ming readily agreed.

After sending the two away, Qingming sat blankly in the pavilion, staring blankly at the place by the lake again.

so good!Although they can't tell the world openly, they can stay together every day from now on, and they don't have to endure the pain of separation, let alone worry that the other party belongs to someone else.

The same goes for the second brother and Xiaoan.

Only he, trapped in this invisible cage day after day, watched his loved one marry a wife, have children, have his own belonging and warmth...

It's ridiculous to say that in the eyes of the other party, why is it not the same?

He should be content, at least he once had it, and even if he won't have a future, he doesn't have any regrets.

Qingming habitually showed a smile, which looked as soft as the spring breeze, but also carried the chill of early spring, not cold, but biting...

Tomorrow is the finale~
