Sheng Shi Merciful Light

The night of August [-]th was slightly cool.

It was already two moons hanging high when Mu Ci returned to the palace.A round of bright moon is about to be full, hanging in the middle of the blue sky, and the dark moon is gradually full, staying in a small corner.The hidden moon is hazy, still invisible.

Stars twinkle.

Mu Ci raised her head and looked at the strange but extremely beautiful sky, no longer the shock of seeing it the first time.Because the air has not been polluted, the night sky is translucent, the stars are still shining, and the dazzling silver light spreads to the ground, covering the earth with a layer of plain brightness.

People are more alluring than night.

Mu Ci stretched his legs, and sat on a stool on the high platform of Hefeng Pavilion to watch the moon. He was still in white robes, like a fairy of the moon, and indifferently played with a Guqin he carried from Hanguang Palace, named Duyou.

The moonlight sprinkled on him, coating him with a bright halo, which was too beautiful to behold.

The temperature difference was huge at night, and the Emperor Tianshou didn't see any beauty, but only saw his son's thin and empty clothes. He untied the bright yellow cloak on his body, put it on Mu Ci carefully, and complained: "Why don't you come here with more coats?"

Mu Ci didn't respond, nor refused.

Wei Zhong arranged the dinner lightly. There were only two father and son in the pavilion, but there were three bowls and chopsticks, each with a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed with glutinous rice balls.Wei Zhong retreated with his attendants, and Mou Yu stood in the distance with folded arms, looking at the high platform.

Emperor Tianshou held his son's hand and said, "Hey, stop playing and eat. You should be hungry."

Mu Ci was not only hungry, but also tired. Although Mu Ruosong's humanoid pad made him feel more comfortable, the two-wheeled carriage still felt very bumpy, and now he was still as dizzy as if he was on a boat.I just want to vomit, don't want to eat, and have no appetite.

Seeing his son's listless expression, Emperor Tianshou couldn't help feeling distressed, so he scooped up a small glutinous rice ball with a spoon and fed it to Mu Ci: "Eat a little, take care of your own body, don't get sick again, if I had known this, I wouldn't have promised Chaoyang to take you Went to the hunting ground. Do you want to go tomorrow?"

"I'm going!" Mu Ci didn't like half-doing things, so he let go. He knew that he would continue to be hungry. He didn't need the emperor to prohibit him from going out of the palace. .

Emperor Tianshou looked at his beloved Xiao Jiulang with loving and complicated eyes.

Mou Yu has been sending people to report the situation, detailing everything.Emperor Tianshou didn't care about saving a child, but focused on the new medical skills of his family, Xiao Jiulang, and understood the value of it.He was very excited, and wanted to ask about trauma treatment again, and wanted Xiao Jiulang to organize it into "Changle Trauma Theory". If it is promoted, it will not only benefit the country but also greatly increase Jiulang's weight-this is a real military achievement. Because of Jiulang's survival, the generals in the army will be grateful to him... In time, what military power do we need to seize?

As soon as the new method of wounding countless living people came out, all the soldiers and horses in the world only listened to his call from the top.

Jiulang is always like this, if he doesn't make a move, it's enough. If he makes a move, it must be a big deal, and he is upright and neat, and the general trend of the world is at his disposal.

God, you must give me two more years, even if I don't do anything, Jiulang has his own way to make his position as stable as Mount Tai.

It's just that the body is too weak.

Seeing that his precious little son was really tired, Emperor Tianshou endured it, and planned to bring up the matter of trauma treatment in a few days.I feel relieved in my heart: this child looks indifferent, but he is a filial child, and he came back specially for his mother's birthday, and according to Mou Yu, he didn't want him to go out of the palace and encounter danger.

Actually quite caring.

I just don't know when I will truly forgive my father.

The Goddess sighed.

Xiao Jiulang is good at everything, but he has a shortcoming-too vengeful.

It would be better if he hated him, but this child didn't even hate him, he completely ignored him and treated him as a stranger. Only recently did he soften a little bit and started to get close to him.

really not easy.

Emperor Tianshou was full of emotions, and he still didn't forget to feed Mu Ci some glutinous rice balls.

After more than ten years of cellaring, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine warming on the side has released a more mellow and rich aroma, which is mixed with the strong and striking fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard, which is refreshing and intoxicating.

Mu Ci ate a few, but turned her head and refused to eat any more.Emperor Tianshou didn't force it, after all, glutinous rice is not easy to digest.He had also ordered the small kitchen of the Hehuan Hall to cook sweet-scented osmanthus porridge, which is now hanging out, and when the father and son finished their gathering, it was just warm enough to eat when they returned.

Mu Ci propped his chin with one hand, touched the jug lazily, holding the jug with one hand warmly, and filled a glass of wine for Emperor Tianshou.

Emperor Tianshou is happy, really happy.Xiao Jiulang from his family poured wine for him... The son poured wine for his father, which often happens in family meals, this is called father-son relationship.

Mu Ci also poured himself a glass, and Emperor Tianshou hurriedly stopped him: "Jiulang, you have a weak spleen and stomach, so you can't drink."

Mu Ci ignored it, put down the jug, raised her glass, sniffed at the tip of her nose, and took a sip.This wine has not been distilled, and the wine is as light as rice wine, but because it has been cellared with sweet-scented osmanthus for too long, it has a mellow and pleasant aroma.The warm wine is warm and sweet.

Mu Ci said: "It's a beautiful day, let's congratulate you."

Emperor Tianshou drank Jiulang's glass of wine, took Mu Ci's glass away, and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Stubborn Niu Er, when you get better, I'll have a few more drinks with my father."

He remembered the imperial physician's advice to Mu Ci, and completely forgot that the imperial physician told him not to drink too much alcohol. He only thought that he had a good capacity for alcohol, and a glass or two of light wine was completely fine.

This is the refusal to admit that you are old.

Mu Ci is not addicted to alcohol, today's day is very special, he doesn't want to argue with Emperor Tian Shu on trivial matters, and break up badly.He poured another cup for Tianshoudi, filled it up himself, and said, "You can do whatever you want, I won't drink it, just smell the aroma."

Seeing that Jiulang finally accepted his father's persuasion, Emperor Tianshou was so excited that he took another cup and drank it by himself... After drinking six cups, Mu Ci stopped pouring the wine: "You drink too quickly, take it easy."

Seeing his son caring about him, Emperor Tianshou's eyes were filled with moisture, and gradually blurred: "You are as kind-hearted as your mother."

Mu Ci didn't answer.

Emperor Tianshou has held back his words these days, but he doesn't know what to say, and he has no face to mention it.Now that I have talked about it, I also have the meaning of explaining to my son, but once I started the conversation, I couldn't stop it.Pointing to Duyou Guqin, he said reminiscently, "Osmanthus fragrans and Duyou are both your mother's favorite things."

People are gone, and it doesn't make sense to rely on these things to remember.

Mu Ci's expression was calm, and the qin platform was beside him. He stretched out his hand and plucked the guqin a few times indiscriminately.

Emperor Tianshou found it funny, but also felt uncomfortable. With the qualifications of his family, Xiao Jiulang, he should have been such a handsome and handsome fairy. surgery.After he got up and sat next to Mu Ci, he gently pressed that naughty hand.

The noise stopped abruptly...

"Father will teach you." Emperor Tianshou waited and saw that Xiao Jiulang did not move his hands away... This is a good sign, and finally he can fulfill his long-cherished wish of "hand in hand" teaching his son.

He was overjoyed, and surrounded Mu Ci with his whole body.The Emperor Tianshou was tall, so he could easily cover the slender boy completely, let the boy lean in his arms, stretched out his long arms, and began to play an ancient song "Feng Qiuhuang".

In ancient times, it was popular for fathers not to hold children, but now father and son cuddle closely, and the servants and imperial guards in the distance lamented that King Changle was really favored.Mou Yu's brows were tightened, and he felt that Mu Ci didn't know what he was going to do.Otherwise, according to his willful temper, he would not feel well, and he would go back to sleep after drinking, and he would not keep it and play the piano with the Emperor Tianshou.

The Emperor Tianshou taught him everything, and Mu Ci learned things quickly.He rigidly memorized every rhythm and every landing point of the emperor's fingers.Mu Ci learned to play, and even though the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" was a bit difficult, she could already pronounce it perfectly.After playing it once, Mu Ci started to play it casually again, making noise, and did not continue to practice.

Huiji, but not interested.

Emperor Tianshou sighed, he was afraid that things like playing the piano and writing would be summed up by his son as a waste of time.

"What's the name of this song?" Mu Ci asked suddenly, turning her head.

""Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", your mother's favorite song..." Tianshou Emperor thought of this song, felt a pain in his heart, touched Mu Ci's forehead with his cheek, seeking comfort, but only touched it, and Mu Ci push away.

The intimacy is not enough, and the Emperor Tianshou is not reluctant, and the spirit of alcohol is slowly coming up. He has the problem of talking too much when he drinks, so he hugged Xiao Jiulang's waist and recalled the interesting things between him and Concubine Xie Chen one by one.

Meeting for the first time, the beauty saves the hero...

The second meeting,...

Mu Ci's brows were dim, and she didn't seem to be listening attentively.He lightly plucked the strings, forming some unknown melodies, like moonlight, like running water, and the melodious sounds of the zither came out...

If there are experts who have obtained a license as a psychologist, they will find that this is some background music that some psychologists love to use to help people relax, lower their defenses, and make the conversation go smoothly.

The Emperor Tianshou babbled, he was old, he didn't remember much of what happened just now, but he remembered what happened back then more and more clearly, listening to Yi Ren's piano, drinking Yi Ren's mellow wine, holding the son Yi Ren gave him, but Yi Ren nowhere to be seen.

Things are different, everything is different...

For a moment, his sadness was uncontrollable, and he shed tears. He hugged Mu Ci tightly, and put the empty glass in front of him: "Pour me another glass."

"Use wine to relieve your sorrows and make your sorrows worse." Mu Ci said, no longer pouring wine, he didn't want the emperor to get drunk and die here.

"Use wine to drown your sorrows?" The Emperor Tianshou chuckled... "Yes, worry is even more worrying..."

"You're drunk."

"Really? Happy birthday to your mother."

Even in a technologically advanced age, the most effective veritaserum must be: wine!

The Emperor Tianshou was already drunk, and it was the right time.Mu Ci lowered her eyelids and asked softly, "You love her, why did you hurt her?"

This is the fate of the unfinished business, the short-lived experience of the star king, the answer that I want to think about.

Emperor Tianshou was silent for a long time, so long that Mu Ci thought he had fallen asleep drunk.

Emperor Tianshou suddenly said: "I don't want to hurt her, I love her, but this love hurts her."

In fact, Emperor Tianshou was ready to be questioned, but the youngest son never cared, because he never cared.

Now my son asked.

If you care about it, you will ask what happened.

Emperor Tianshou didn't want to hide it, his son suffered a lot and had the right to know what happened back then.After all, his harem is not such a beautiful and peaceful place, so he has to give his son some vigilance.

"I snatched her from someone else." Tianshoudi said.

"Back then, your mother had a happy family, with a husband and a son. I met her too late, but I couldn't let go. Man, I want what I can't get... so coincidentally, her husband died suddenly, and her son She also died, so I took her into the palace." Emperor Tianshou said about Xin Mi back then, "I thought I was the king of a country, and all the people in the world surrendered to me, so she should be mine. I have always treated her Well, she will soften one day and surrender to me."

The Emperor Tianshou laughed at himself: "But she is too stubborn. No matter how hard I try, she is always cold. No matter what I do, although she does not refuse, she never gets close, doesn't care, and doesn't smile at me. She is just a beautiful girl. A body without a soul. You are really similar to your mother, never bowing your head, never compromising, making people helpless."

Mu Ci's eyes were calm and clear: "This is not wrong."

"Yes, it's not wrong, she's right, it's my fault. I found out later that in order to please me, the Xie family sent someone to kill her husband and snatch her son as a threat, so she had no choice but to enter the palace... I caused her family to be ruined." The Emperor Tianshou smiled sadly, "How could she forgive me?"

The emperors of the Mu family all have curses, and they are doomed to love people who will always have some blunders, so that they will never be able to be lovers smoothly.

From the bits and pieces of information she got before, Mu Ci pieced together and deduced that what happened back then was a tragedy full of dog blood.

The background of the Xie family has been explained, it is only second-rate, and it is urgent to climb up.But Xie's male family is not prosperous, and there are many daughters, all of whom are beautiful.Thinking of the emperor falling in love with Xie Qi, it's just... what a chance.

But before, why Xie Qi was so beautiful, but the Xie family never thought of sending her into the palace?

One is because Xie Qi is a concubine, and there are many restrictions in the patriarchal clan. It is impossible for ordinary concubines to become the first wife, let alone climb to the high position in the harem, and the age difference is too much.When Emperor Tianshou ascended the throne and chose his concubine, the Xie family sent the eldest daughter who was 14 years old at the time, who is now Concubine Xie.Xie Qi is only seven years old.

Concubine Xie Guifei's appearance is not bad, but she can't stand with Xie Qi.Later when Xie Qi grew up, her father at that time, the patriarch of the Xie Clan, was not out of his wits, he would not get a concubine to compete with the eldest daughter who had already given birth to him, and the concubine would not be able to climb to a high position.

So Xie Qi married another young talent named Jian.

Originally, the husband and wife were harmonious, but because of an accident, the Emperor Tianshou met the time of thanks.To be honest, Xie Qi is not only beautiful, but also gentle, smart and capable, knows a lot, and has a lot of tenacity.All men are attracted to it.

Xie Qi's father back then wasn't too scumbag, and he didn't know how to use that method to force his daughter, otherwise he would have been sent to the palace.Concubine Xie, who was Concubine Xie at the time, offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and her children would be implicated.

Seeing that the revitalization of the family is in sight, why is the head of the Xie family willing to let the eldest daughter have an accident, and his hopes are shattered?

For a while, he thought about it, and in order to please the emperor, he made a foolish trick on Xie Qi.

But Mu Ci guessed that the reason inside might be more complicated than it appeared.

But no matter how many reasons for what happened back then, the ending is already like this, Mu Ci sighed: "She is my biological mother, I know, she will not forgive."

"Yeah, feelings are really strange. The more I can't get them, the more I can't let go. Later, my feelings for her became obsessions. I tried every means to make her change her mind. I did everything I could, and I couldn't do anything. I did it." The Heavenly Granted Emperor said.

Mu Ci was not surprised. The Emperor Tianshou stalked him with a stern face, and he was really not a person who would give up.

Emperor Tianshou sighed: "But she doesn't love power, doesn't love my status, and doesn't love me. I can't do anything to impress her. I even plan to take her son into the palace so that the Xie family can't threaten her." She, she won't either."

Of course not, the palace is not a good place, let alone a child of non-royal blood.

Emperor Tianshou also knew that this was a stupid move, and said: "It's stupid, isn't it? But I really can't help it. Sometimes I can't help but do things that hurt her. Of course..." Emperor Tianshou hurriedly confessed, "I've always Never touched her with a finger, I don't abuse my women."

Mental torture is enough to worry about, but Mu Ci didn't say anything.

Emperor Tianshou mentioned "abuse", he was afraid that his son would think of something bad, so he looked at his son carefully, but seeing him as if nothing happened and didn't care, he felt even more distressed, touched his son's thin shoulders, and saw Mu Ci shrink back , quickly asked: "Does the injury still hurt?"

"It's okay, it's almost done."

"Jiulang, after the chaos of the past few days passes, there are some matters that need to be dealt with, and the emperor will deal with them."

"Well," Mu Ci knew he was referring to the prince, and asked casually, "And then? What happened?"

"One day, her former husband was not dead, so he sneaked into Hanguang Palace to have a private meeting with her..."

Mu Ci: "..." In the heavily guarded imperial palace, is it so easy to enter the bedroom of the beloved concubine?Obviously framed. Hey.

"I was actually relieved. There was a feeling that this day had finally come. Then I gave her a multiple-choice question—is it me or Jian Luo?"

"Actually, you don't intend to give her a choice at all." Mu Ci said.

"Yes, she chose Jian Luo. I was so angry that I forced her to stay with Jian Luo's life, and promised to let Jian Luo go..." Emperor Tianshou kept holding Mu Ci's arms, "Seventeen Eight years ago, my throne was not very stable, and there were still opposing forces. It was a coincidence that a small-scale palace change happened at that time, and the man was killed. Your mother thought it was my order and broke with me. Sure enough, the person she loves has always been... I was so angry that I threw her into limbo."

Mu Ci: "..."

People who fall in love really lose their IQ.

Emperor Tianshou lowered his head, buried his face in the neck of his youngest son, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm so angry, but I don't really want to hurt her. I just want to scare her and let her know that she will live without my love." It was very difficult... I didn't know that she had you at the time, and I didn't know that she could be so stubborn that she would never come out after going in. If I went to see her, she would kill herself. She said she had nothing It’s worrying.”

Emperor Tianshou trembled slightly: "I dare not bet, no one can stop someone who wants to die. I'm afraid. Even if she doesn't love me, she hates me, and never sees me, I don't want her to die."

He will always remember Ah Qi's phrase "never see each other", which is simply a curse.For more than ten years, the emotional torment had burned all his vitality.Emperor Tianshou's old and haggard heart has actually been dead for many years.

"Later she became pregnant, and I found out that she had a child. Why didn't she tell? Did she dare to tell? I began to doubt, and asked her who the child belonged to, but she didn't say anything. As long as she said a word , I just believed it, even if he coaxed me, I wanted to believe it... But she just didn't say it." The misunderstanding of Emperor Tianshou deepened, and he felt that he was completely betrayed and sad, so he no longer tried to redeem it, and firmly believed in it. The child is not his own, and he has not even had the courage to take a look at it for more than ten years.

Because the child in the Lenggong is the ironclad evidence that Chiguoguo's true love was betrayed and her heart was trampled into mud. Most people would not have the courage to look at it.

Mu Ci sighed.
