spring as old

Dou Hui is the old man of Emperor Gao. After Emperor Gao's palace chariot drove away, he was out of work.Emperor Ai had lofty aspirations and wanted to entrust the palace to someone he trusted. Dou Hui knew that staying would be nothing but disgusting, so he simply excused his illness and asked to resign from the palace.

He has also accumulated a lot of savings over the years, enough to buy a house in central Beijing, set up some family business, and spend his old age peacefully.In the past, he was often flattered by people around him, it was because he was a person whom Emperor Gao relied heavily on, but now that Emperor Gao has gone, no one cares about him anymore.For the past six months, I have lived comfortably.On the contrary, Princess Puyang felt that he was an old man who had served her late father, so she often sent people to greet her, and she never forgot to send New Year's gifts on New Year's Day, and she walked around like an old man in her own family.

But Dou Hui is always not at ease.

Gao Di's death was a knot in his heart.This knot is indissoluble, and he always feels that there will be troubles in the future.

After soaking in the palace for most of his life, whether it is good or evil, conspiracy or trickery, he has almost developed an intuition, which is very accurate.Gao Di was clearly murdered by someone, but who this person was and how he succeeded, Dou Hui had no idea.It stands to reason that it should be the princess line.After the death of Gotti, she benefited the most.Moreover, the imperial edict that the son-in-law took out from his sleeve was even more suspicious. He had clearly calculated this edict and prepared this imperial edict in advance, only waiting to take it out at the right time.

He was forced by emotion and situation, so he had no choice but to accompany him in this play, and let him fulfill his wish. Since then, the power of the imperial court has been vested in the eldest princess, and Emperor Ai has been completely emptied.

But Dou Hui didn't feel like it was Pu Yang's doing. Even though the eldest princess came to the throne as a woman and became the lord of the world, Dou Hui still didn't think it was like it.This is also a kind of intuition, he is by Gaodi's side, Gaodi and the fans of the authorities, he is completely out of the way, the nature of the prince and princess is more real.Xinjun is cunning and cunning, but it is not enough to attack his deeply affectionate father.And judging from his comings and goings after leaving the palace, she really didn't know about it.

Dou Hui became more and more uneasy. If she was not the mastermind, this matter would be revealed soon.Looking back on that day, the son-in-law was calm and composed, he thought that the son-in-law had discussed with the princess and made all preparations, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Dou Hui was worried for the past few days, until several servants came to his residence and passed on His Majesty's oral order, Dou Hui was relieved.The knife hangs on the neck, always afraid that it will fall, and when it does fall, it will be calm.

That's the worst.

Puyang was summoned in batches.First, I asked the imperial doctor, read the pulse case, and learned that the late emperor was in good health, and there was no danger of life.The Imperial Physician was humble and powerful, so he didn't dare to speak too much. When asked by the emperor, the Imperial Physician of Zhou boldly said: "Since Your Majesty persuaded Gao Di that time, Gao Di has taken care of him according to the minister's prescription, and his pulse has always been mild. .”

Having said this, when Dou came back, Pu Yang's expression was not very good.

The death of the first emperor was full of strangeness, some people thought it was wrong earlier, but no one dared to mention it because of a will.Pu Yang was because the late emperor was dying and Wei Xiu was present, Wei Xiu didn't tell her what was wrong.She thought at that time, if Axiu knew something about such an important matter, she would definitely not keep her mouth shut, so she also pressed the button and said nothing.

However, once things show signs of abnormality, every word of the will will be suspicious.

Dou fell back on the ground and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to be happy forever."

Pu Yang looked at him, his hair was gray, he already showed the appearance of a dragon bell, he was wearing a commoner clothes, like a kind-hearted old man.She always thought so.He served the late emperor for most of his life, and he had to have some stumbling blocks with some courtiers. She was afraid that he would be uncomfortable after working so hard for half his life, so she often sent someone to take care of him, which was regarded as her loyalty.Who knows, this loyalty is fake.

"Qing Dou, who ordered you to forge the edict?" Pu Yang asked directly, her tone was terribly calm, even though Dou Hui was already prepared, she couldn't help feeling chills.

He kowtowed heavily, and replied: "The edict was not made by the guilty minister, but the son-in-law... Your Royal Highness, the minister, and the minister, all act according to the order."

Pu Yang seemed to have been taken out of his soul suddenly, a little cold, a little sad, a little resentful, and a little tired.

She didn't even have the strength to speak, so she just waved her hand and let Dou go back out.It didn't say what to do with him, or what to do with him.

Dou Hui didn't ask any questions, and quietly withdrew.

There was no one in the hall.Pu Yang had already shunned the palace people.She didn't think Wei Xiu did it, but she still made preparations just in case.What if?If the accusation of murdering the first emperor is publicized, even if she is already the emperor, she will not be able to keep her.

It turned out that there were so many lies between them.I remember a long time ago, whenever the late Emperor summoned Wei Xiu, she would always follow her. She was always worried that her father would hurt the one she loved and defend her everywhere.

It looks ridiculous now.

What's even more ridiculous is that she still can't bring up any hatred for Wei Xiu.She lied to her, she didn't hate her, her father paid the debt, she had to accept it; she killed her father, she still couldn't hate her, it was indeed her family's fault.

But no matter how bad the late emperor was, he was also her father. She was a daughter, how would she accept it.

Pu Yang was in a daze, he didn't even notice that he was crying.She thought, where did Axiu go, why didn't she come back, she really wanted to see her with her own eyes.At this time, she still wants to be able to lean in her arms like before, even if she knows that the warm and reliable embrace is fake and cold, she is still nostalgic and still does not want to lose it.

Wei Xiu left the palace to see Jiao Yong.

On the day when King Jin rebelled, she handed over the jade pendant to Yan Huan in advance as a token, and asked him to invite Jiao Yong to surround the Prince Jin's mansion as a threat when things changed.

It's over now.Jiao Yong wants to return the jade pendant, and also asks to see her.

He did her a great favor, and she was also exposed by this matter, so instead of avoiding seeing him, it's better to go there for a while.

Jiao Yong obeyed orders without hesitation just because of a jade pendant, which shows his affection for the Zhong family.When Wei Xiu saw him, he immediately remembered the years back then.She met Jiao Yong when she was young, he was about the same age as her elder brother, he was not as good as her elder brother in terms of military skills, but her elder brother was far inferior to him in martial arts.

The two always competed, the elder brother was repeatedly defeated and fought repeatedly, Jiao Yong never gave in, and often beat his elder brother to the point where he was powerless to fight back, just like this, Wei Xiu never saw them have any quarrel, on the contrary, they became closer, as if Like brothers.

As soon as Jiao Yong saw Wei Xiu, he knew who she was.She and Zhong Qing are so much alike in life, and thanks to the fact that most people in Beijing have forgotten about the young man who lives in the border, she will not reveal her identity.

"Long time no see, brother, you're all right." Wei Xiu said with a smile.

Jiao Yong was very grateful to see his old friend, he looked at Wei Xiu for a long time, and said: "Amon." Seeing Wei Xiu nodding his head, he sighed, both happy and sad, "You are still here, Master Zhong is still there." I'm so happy to have a bloodline."

As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant from his bosom and returned it to Wei Xiu.

Wei Xiu took it, looked down, put Fang Xinxin in his arms, and said: "This time, thank you brother for your help."

Jiao Yong laughed: "Compared to the kindness of Master Zhong's teaching back then, what is this?" He sat up straight and said seriously, "What are your plans? Even though I was transferred from the Jinwu Guard, these Over the years, the army has also accumulated a lot of help. We will always have the blood of the Xiao family to pay!"

He has passed his age, but his blood is the same as when he was a teenager.Wei Xiu was a little dazed looking at it, and felt that what she said next was hard to say.

Seeing Wei Xiu's silence, Jiao Yong hurriedly asked with concern, "What's your problem?"

Wei Xiu looked at him, and said slowly: "I don't want revenge anymore."

Jiao Yong was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief, he looked at Wei Xiu for a long time, Wei Xiu let him scrutinize him without opening his mouth.His eyes were straight, from concern to contempt, Wei Xiu was full of embarrassment, and remained silent.

Finally, Jiao Yong sneered, stood up, turned around and left, and when he reached the door, he stopped and turned around to look at Wei Xiu, his sarcastic eyes sliced ​​off Wei Xiu's dignity one by one like knives.

Wei Xiu couldn't say high-sounding words, so he could only let him look down on her like this.

Jiao Yong waited for a while, but Wei Xiu did not change his words.He sneered again and again, and every sentence he said was heart-piercing: "The Zhong family is upright and upright. There has never been such a person who is greedy for wealth and power. With you in this world, I don't know if Master Zhong is under the nine springs, he may be closed. Eye?"

Wei Xiu's eyebrows twitched, she lowered her eyes to look at the place in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Jiao Yong finally gave up. Before leaving, he glanced at her with hatred and disgust: "You might as well have died back then!"

Wei Xiu sat in the teahouse for a long time, Yan Huan and A Rong looked at her worriedly, but dared not speak out.

As the sky was approaching dusk, Wei Xiu turned her head and looked out the window.Pedestrians outside the window hurried to their homes.After a day of hard work, there are parents or wives and children waiting for them at home.Knowing this, no matter how hard you work, you are willing to do it, and everyone in the world is like this.

"In your hearts, do you also see me this way?" Wei Xiu asked.

He thinks what she did has insulted Zhong's family style, and thinks that she might as well have gone with her parents back then.

Ah Rong hurriedly said, "Of course not."

Wei Xiu looked at Yan Huan, but he didn't speak. When he met her gaze, he avoided it, not daring to look directly at her.A Rong's relatives were killed when the Zhong Mansion destroyed the family, and Yan Huan's father died loyally to protect the general.They assisted Wei Xiu with all their strength, although they regarded her as their master, but they also pinned their hopes on her.

Wei Xiu smiled, feeling extremely sad.

"Forget it." She said softly.

Wei Xiu was also late when she returned to the palace.The sun fell from the west, bringing up the sunset glow all over the sky, and it was in full swing.The cool breeze blows, and the feeling of autumn is getting stronger, but Luoyang City is so bleak under the sunset.

Pu Yang was waiting for her in Hanguang Hall.

Meals have been set in the hall, as soon as she entered the hall, Pu Yang put a coat on her body and said: "It's getting cold."

Wei Xiu smiled at her: "Take care too."

The two looked at each other speechlessly, they clearly had a lot to say, but none of them managed to open their mouths.

After dinner, the two went to the study.

Wei Xiu originally wanted to wait until the Han King Teng's affairs were over before talking about her affairs, but she was already overwhelmed.The self-blame day after day made her unable to act as if nothing had happened.
