pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

Qin Ye's case was finally handed over to Hu Feng to worry about. Jing Li set off for Beijing the next day after receiving the secret letter. Qin Zheng and Bai Xiwan were also accompanying him along the way.

Regarding the matter of Bai Xiwan, Jing Li and Wei Yang also discussed it. Jing Li said lightly that if Qin Zheng was left in Yuzhou, he might be implicated. As Qin Zheng's biological mother, Bai Xiwan naturally had to follow her. Together, Wei Young saw Bai Xiwan's weak and weak Liu Fufeng, and she couldn't refuse at all, so Qin Zheng's mother and son were taken back to the capital by Jingli.

In order to be justified, Jing Li declared that Qin Zheng was his adopted son, and also recognized Bai Xiwan as his god-sister, who was called Mrs. Bai by outsiders.

On the way back to Beijing, the killer who had previously assassinated Jingli made a last-ditch effort. Although there were no casualties, Jingli's unhealed wound burst, and the road was bumpy, and there was not enough medicinal materials. The wound became inflamed, and Jingli returned to the capital. I had a high fever for several days.

As soon as the news of Jingli's illness spread to Zhaoyang Hall, Zhaohua became angry. Not only did he send five hundred soldiers to meet Jingli, this move was dissuaded by some officials in the court, but Zhaohua still ignored it, saying that , there are sages like thorns, the great fortune of the country.

Since then, it has been widely rumored in Beijing that there must be an ulterior relationship between Empress Zhaohua and Prime Minister Jing. However, the matter of sending troops to meet Jingli has not yet come to an end. Living in the palace, this move immediately makes people forget the previous rumors. It stands to reason that princesses are usually women of the royal family. Chu Huairou made everyone wonder what the queen was thinking. Some people even suspected that the queen had taken a fancy to Miss Chu's family, but due to the principles of ethics, she gave her a gimmick as a princess, but she was actually raising her as a concubine. .Some people also said that Jingli was going to die, and Zhaohua was worried that he would not have a backer in the future, so he made his calculations to the Chu family, hoping to use the power of the Chu family to stabilize the throne.

As soon as this remark came out, the wind in the court suddenly became chaotic. Naturally, the Chu family took advantage of Chu Huairou's east wind to gain a lot of glory. For a while, they were in the limelight, overwhelming the Ouyang family. Many small families also began to make small calculations. They sent their daughters to the palace one after another, but Zhaohua didn't like any of them.

On the day of Liqiu, Jingli and his party finally returned to Kyoto.

It was night, because of Jingli's injury, Weiyang and Weiyang slept in separate beds. Although Weiyang was reluctant to part with her, she also knew that she was not sleeping well, and was worried that she would crush Jingli, so she finally sent Weiyang who was about to doze off, and another unexpected guest arrived.

Jing Li slowly opened her eyes, her sickly face looked devoid of life, her lips were also pale due to the injury, "Your Majesty, you really lost your dignity by climbing the walls of your subjects' houses in the middle of the night."

Zhaohua didn't hear Jingli's soft lesson at all. Instead, he plucked Jingli's hair and said angrily, "How dare they hurt you like this!"

Jing Li forced a smile, "The journey is long, and people's hearts are fluctuating, so it's inevitable that they will be hurt."

"I will find out who it is, but have you ever hired a ghost doctor?"

With Jing Li injured like this, ordinary imperial doctors are helpless at all, and can only rely on ginseng for support.

"It's already on the way here. If His Majesty doesn't cause trouble for the minister, the injury of the minister can heal sooner."

Zhaohua froze for a moment, then smiled, "Ah, are you angry?"

Jing Li wanted to give her a blank look, but he really didn't have the energy to argue with her, "The Chu family has always been ambitious, if you recruit a male concubine, that's fine, you can leave your son to go to a relative, what can Chu Huairou do?"

"Do you also think that I should recruit a male concubine and have a son?" Zhaohua's face was dimmed by the candlelight, "You know that I hate my father to the bone, and I wish that he would have no sons or grandchildren and no successors."

Jing Li frowned and said, "Why are the common people innocent?"

If Zhaohua is really so capricious, then the government will be uneasy, the country will be in turmoil, and it will be the common people who will suffer.

"Ah, I never said that I want to be the emperor!" After finishing speaking, Zhaohua also realized that he was a little emotional, so he took the initiative to feed Jingli with the medicine on the side.

Jing Li tilted his head slightly, wanting to refuse, when he heard Zhao Hua say with a straight face, "Your Majesty Jing is so majestic, the king of my country, giving you medicine is already condescending, don't you want to resist the order. "

Looking at Zhaohua's fake serious face, Jing Li smiled unconsciously, "I didn't expect you to remember."

When Jingli first met Zhaohua, Zhaohua was being bullied by Zanhua. The little girl was holding a paper bag stubbornly in her hand, and there were scattered candied fruit on the ground. Zhaohua said that her mother was sick. Her mouth was flustered, so she stole candied fruit from the imperial dining room. Jing Li only thought that Zhaohua was a little maid, and gave her the dessert that the queen had just rewarded from the servant girl. Unexpectedly, Zhaohua would not buy it, so Jingli Just scare her away, you little court lady is so imposing, I am the daughter of Dali Temple Qing Song Pin, you don't want to reward you with a box of dim sum, you want to be punished.

Thinking of the past, Zhaohua's face softened a lot. She blew away the dregs of the medicine, and said to Jing Li: "At that time, you were very handsome. You were wearing a blue palace attire and your hair was tied into two rings. Let's say goodbye. A peach-colored bead flower, while holding a whip and saying that it wants to protect me, choked the hairpin flower to pieces, it doesn't look like me, there is a slap mark on its dirty face, it's really... embarrassing."

"You are the king of a country now, no one dares to bully you anymore."

"But, you promised me that you would protect me."

Jing Li sighed faintly, and the words he said also had a bitter taste, "Your Majesty, you are the king, the people and the courtiers are all looking up to you and relying on you, I am already tired, I just want to If you want to resign and return to your hometown as soon as possible, and take Wei Young and Aunt to live in seclusion, you still have to rely on yourself for the affairs of the middle school."

Hearing that Jing Li said that he would bring Wei Young and Fan Qing back into seclusion, Zhao Hua overturned the medicine bowl on the spot, "You mean, I'm no more important to you than Ye Wei Young who you just met a few months ago? "

Seeing the soiled quilt and the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, Jing Li frowned on the spot, "That's all for today's conversation. It's late at night, Your Majesty will go back earlier."

Zhaohua's hands hidden under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. After being silent for a while, she suddenly changed into a smile, and shouted to the door: "Feihua, I accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl, come and give me later." Your Xiangye put on a new quilt."

Then he straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened, and said to Jing Li: "I still have memorials that have not been reviewed, so I won't bother Ai Qing, Zhang Li, go back to the palace."

After Zhaohua left, Jing Li lay on the bed a little silent, and she began to reflect on whether she was wrong to support Zhaohua in the first place.

Xiangfu, Xiyuan.

"Mom, do we really live here?"

Qin Zheng looked at the luxurious room and asked Bai Xiwan in disbelief.

Bai Xiwan smiled, "Silly boy, of course, this is specially arranged for you by your adoptive father, which shows how much she loves you."

Qin Zheng nodded, touched the exquisite toy in front of him, and said, "The adoptive father is a good person, and the adoptive mother is also a good person."

Speaking of Ye Weiyang, Bai Xiwan's eyes moved slightly, like a stone sinking into the sea, and after a slight ripple, it returned to calm, "Zheng'er, you are also four years old, and ordinary people's children should also be enlightened. When your adoptive father recovers from illness After that, we went to tell him, how about asking for a wife for you?"

When it came to reading, Qin Zheng touched his head in embarrassment, showing a bit of childishness, "Mother, is it really okay for us to trouble the adoptive father so much?"

From Qin Zheng's point of view, he and Bai Xiwan were originally just oil bottles. Being able to live in the prime minister's mansion, with food to eat and clothes to cover their bodies is already the greatest luck. After being bullied in the Qin mansion, his mind has also changed. Be sensitive.

Bai Xiwan looked at Qin Zheng's cautious expression, and held him in her arms distressedly, "Zheng'er, I didn't protect you well before. Mother and your adoptive father are old acquaintances and have a good relationship. You don't have to feel guilty, benevolent."

Qin Zhengmeng nodded understandingly, and smiled sweetly, "Mom, it's nice to have a father."

Bai Xiwan had already put on new clothes, and there were all the furnishings and supplies in the room. Even if Jing Li was injured, Qin Zheng was very moved to have such a mind not to neglect their mother and son.

"Mother, let's go see foster father tomorrow." Qin Zheng raised his face and said, "I don't know how foster father is?"

The last time I saw Jingli, Jingli's clothes were covered with blood, but it was still like that, she still did not forget to protect Ye Weiyang, Bai Xiwan felt a little jealous, "Okay, I will go to see Yifu tomorrow, Zheng'er likes Yifu Father?"

Qin Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, "The kindness my adoptive father has to Zheng'er is as great as a mountain, but what Zheng'er likes most is mother."

Bai Xiwan thought it was a little funny, Qin Zheng was so thoughtful, so he didn't know if it was good or bad.

Bai Xiwan patted Qin Zheng's head, looked straight at him, and said, "Zheng'er, mother wants you to remember that from now on you must respect your adoptive father as if you were your own father, and you must not disobey him." against her."

Qin Zheng nodded, "Zheng'er will never forget the kindness of her adoptive father, Mother...how about Yuzhou?"

Bai Xiwan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Zheng'er still thinking about Qin Ye?"

Qin Zheng moved his lips, not knowing how to answer.

Bai Xiwan's eyes darkened, and she sighed, "Qin Ye's many evil deeds have implicated his entire family. We will never have to see him again. I know you are a kind-hearted child, but we don't owe the Qin family anything. In the future Xiangfu is your home."

When Qin Zheng was young, he longed for his father's love. He peeked at Qin Ye from a distance, saw him pampering Qin Hanyan in every possible way, and was very envious in his little heart, but Bai Xiwan always refused to let him see Qin Ye , repeatedly asked Qin Zheng not to have anything to do with Qin Ye, and not to treat him as a father. Qin Zheng thought that Bai Xiwan probably hated Qin Ye very much.

I heard that at the beginning, Bai Xiwan was sold to the Qin residence as a servant girl, but Qin Ye raped Bai Xiwan after getting drunk, that's how Qin Zheng came to be.

"Zheng'er doesn't want Yuzhou anymore."

"good."
