According to the situation of the country

At the beginning, Lin Xuan only realized the huge intelligence network of the emperor's brother after he ascended the throne, and he simply underestimated its power before.When Ding Mo got in touch with him, he had already taken Su Muqing with his new plan and was about to head towards Zhou Guo.Their goal is to sneak into the mansion of Bai Kai, General Zhou.The method is also clear - Bai Kai loves beautiful women, Su Muqing is a peerless beauty, but Bai Kai is already over sixty years old.Although Lin Xuan had just ascended the throne, he knew a little about Su Muqing. Ding Mo thought it was because of her peerless beauty that he recruited Su Muqing under his command.He and Su Muqing were old acquaintances, and knowing her life experience, he felt pity for her, so he naturally didn't want her to go on this path that could not see the light.Lin Xuan ordered Ding Mo to send Su Muqing back to Zhao country, but unfortunately none of these two people listened to him... Helplessly, Lin Xuan was so angry that he took someone to stop the two who were going from Jin country to Zhou country, Lin Xuan will always remember At that time, there was a little stubbornness in Su Muqing's unlovely eyes.Lin Xuan put his horse in the middle of the tree-lined road, and said: "Mu Qing, I remember the covenant of a gentleman back then, and I have never violated it on purpose since the day I made the oath. Back then, King Yong would protect you for the rest of his life. Could it be that Emperor Jing would break his promise now? ?”

"Your Majesty, today's decision is Mu Qing's deliberate choice, and it is entirely voluntary." Facing the wind, Su Muqing once again saw clearly the person who often appeared in the dream, thinner and silent than before.She is not the princess of Mo country and cannot help him avenge her. Now she is more determined to help him, relying on her own strength to clear her father's grievances and avenge him. The collaborating letters found in the Su family were related to Bai Kai.

Even Lin Xuan explained to her all the reasons and analyzed the situation, but Su Muqing's determination was not shaken. Lin Xuan was so stuffy that his chest hurt and disappeared into the dust on the second morning on a horse.At that time, Lin Xuan couldn't figure out why Su Muqing didn't want to go back to Zhao Country with him, and continued to live a peaceful and peaceful life.Years, experience... Sometimes Lin Xuan would think of Su Muqing looking at him with a smile and saying, "Your Majesty, Mu Qing can help you share the burden in the future." At this time, Lin Xuan always felt a little stuffy in his chest and could not breathe.Every message sent from General Bai's Mansion was written by Su Muqing, and the last sentence was always, I hope you are all well.

Seeing each other now, Lin Xuan's frenzied every word comes from the many years of apologizing to Su Muqing over the years.If he had understood her intentions back then, he would have brought her back to Zhao Country no matter what he said.Lin Xuan always said that he can afford anything in his life, except love, he will not pay back.It's a pity that he lost again this time. Lin Xuan sometimes even hated his own restraint and understanding of others. If these are missing, just let someone kidnap them and take them away...

The wind and snow at night did not get smaller, but because of the silence, the sound of falling snow could be heard.Su Muqing filled Lin Xuan and Du Penglai with warm wine, and there was a slight crackling sound from the brazier in the room.Du Penglai unceremoniously picked up a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots, and praised: "It's really delicious, crispy and sweet, and the chef's skill is so good that you can eat it."

"The ancestor of today's kitchen chef is from Zhao country. Mr. Du likes it as long as he likes it. Eat more. If there is anything you want to eat, let the kitchen chef cook it and send it over." Su Muqing smiled slightly, seeing that Lin Xuan had already drank three cups in a row but couldn't finish it. With some green leafy vegetables, Su Muqing picked up a piece of grilled venison and put it in the bowl in front of Lin Xuan. When Lin Xuan looked down at the venison in the bowl, Su Muqing also picked up a piece of venison for Du Penglai.

Du Penglai was naturally short-mouthed, and seeing Lin Xuan still didn't know how to eat, he was dissatisfied and said: "I said, Mr. Li, you eat like a torture, and you don't want to make people eat happily? Even if you don't think about me, you still have to think about Miss Su, right?" Lin Xuan noticed that Su Muqing hardly brought food for herself.

Lin Xuan's face finally turned cloudy again, his own frustration and guilt are all things he needs to bear, "Mu Qing, don't patronize us, you can eat by yourself." Lin Xuan raised his glass and had another drink with Du Penglai and Su Muqing After a few cups, the atmosphere becomes warm and joyful, on this snowy winter night.

At night, everything was quiet, everyone in the manor fell asleep, Lin Xuan and Du Penglai stood in the corridor and let the fine wind and snow blow on them.Holding a dark yellow lantern in his hand, Du Penglai stood next to Lin Xuan as if emptied, not even realizing that Lin Xuan looked back at him, "Why is Mr. Du so preoccupied? I thought it was because I couldn't sleep tonight, Didn't expect you to find this."

Du Penglai sighed as he stood there, as if he had no choice but to see through the world, "The thing that tormented Mr. Li so hard to sleep is nothing more than debts that cannot be repaid. As for me...don't worry about it."

"Homesick again?" Lin Xuan looked into Du Penglai's eyes.

Du Penglai was noncommittal, just said: "What's the use of thinking, but Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about it."

"Oh? What is Mr. Du's theory?"

Du Penglai looked up at Lin Xuan and said, "You really want to know?"

Seeing Lin Xuan nodding seriously, Du Penglai rubbed his hands, and the cold wind rushed towards his face, "Mu Qing is not suitable for you, in fact, maybe you are not suitable for Mu Qing either, but she has no chance to try. "

Lin Xuan was a little surprised that Du Penglai said this for the first time, "How did Mr. Du know?"

"How do I know it's not important? The answer lies in your own heart. Have you ever thought this way?"

Lin Xuan nodded slowly and blankly. Mu Qing's feelings were too warm and deep, which made him feel unable to breathe, let alone respond.He can care about everything about her, and is willing to protect everything about her, but he can't give birth to any love for his children. It's because he loves Ji Yuejun so much that he has no extra love to share with others.

Du Penglai patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, and said earnestly: "I don't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. Not to mention Miss Su, isn't it the same for you? If you can't do it, then just don't bother me." Lin Xuan looked up at Du Penglai with some deep doubts: "Mr. Du, the understanding of feelings is in a different realm. I don't know who made Mr. have such insightful views. I will be a little curious about this person then."

"Ah--" Du Penglai seemed to yawn big without hearing it, "It's getting late, I'm really sleepy."

"Your yawn always comes at the right time, okay, go back to the house and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow." Seeing him dodging, Lin Xuan didn't ask any more questions.Since even Du Penglai didn't want to talk about it, it shouldn't be a good memory, and exposing the scars is not something Lin Xuan is willing to do.

Seeing Lin Xuan pushing the door and entering the room, Du Penglai couldn't help but hope that she would listen to what he advised Su Muqing tonight. It seemed that this had become an eternal secret between him and Su Muqing. He really didn't want such a beautiful girl to fall into the mud... A life that has not run for love is a little pale, but Su Muqing's life is full enough in Du Penglai's view.

On the second day, the wind and snow remained.

Lin Xuan didn't intend to stay any longer, it's a pity that Tianliuren couldn't stay.

Coming out of Fengxue Villa, Su Muqing kept smiling and waving at Lin Xuan, just like the first time she saw him back then.

He said goodbye to the country.

She smiled in the snow and said, good.

Winter is a difficult time for the elderly, and it is the same for the empress dowager who is aloof.Ever since he contracted the wind and cold, he was bedridden at first. After eating all kinds of precious medicinal materials, he never got better. After several days of high fever, he fell into a coma and even started talking nonsense. He only called Mo Zhiqing who was waiting by the bed as Han'er. Called Che'er, the only thing she did when she was sober was that she was determined not to let the news of her serious illness reach Lin Xuan. She was afraid that the news of her serious illness would distract her grandson on the battlefield.It was not until the third day after Lin Xuan left Fengxue Mountain Villa that he received an urgent letter sent by Mo Zhiqing, and rushed towards the capital with his bodyguards. For seven consecutive days, he only went to the post station to change horses for a short rest, Lin Xuan said Rarely did not smile again along the way.Du Penglai followed for seven days, and when he arrived in the capital, his face was pale but slightly better-looking than Lin Xuan's.

After entering the palace, Lin Xuan didn't have time to change and went straight to Anshou Palace. Mo Zhiqing saw that Lin Xuan's hair was in a loose bun, and the hem of his clothes was stained with mud, and his eyes were blue. He must have been very anxious since receiving the news.

"Where's the imperial grandmother?!" Lin Xuan asked, looking at the eunuchs and maids in the hall.

"Your majesty, don't worry." Mo Zhiqing stepped forward and took Lin Xuan's hand, "The imperial grandmother is still here."

Lin Xuan panted heavily, his eyes flushed.There was still Mo Zhiqing leading her towards the bedroom that she had visited so many times since she was a child, the familiar road seemed to be covered with thick cotton and the soles of her feet were soft.No matter how much Lin Xuan wanted to suppress the tears in his eyes, the tears did not flow out disobediently. The battlefield that once took away the dearest relatives...

Kneeling and lying in front of the bed, the familiar face on the bed is still so kind, and more and more gray hairs have been added over the years. Now Lin Xuan looks shockingly, with gray hair, wrinkled skin, old hands, the emperor's grandmother already old.Lin Xuan's eyes had long been blurred by tears, and he held the imperial grandmother's hand.The imperial doctor knelt on the ground outside the hall, and there was no way for anyone to be cured. Who can save the natural change?I just hope the emperor will not get involved.

Lin Xuan hasn't left the imperial grandmother's palace since he stepped into it. The imperial physicians all said that the empress dowager had a hard time tonight.The imperial grandmother who was in a coma did not wake up, Lin Xuan stared at the imperial grandmother's face without blinking.Mo Zhiqing was holding the ginseng soup, just like Lin Xuan, knelt in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, carefully picked up a bowl and handed it to Lin Xuan, persuading him: "The emperor will take this bowl of ginseng soup, or the emperor will fall down in the past few days... ...Who does the imperial grandmother count on more?" Lin Xuan swallowed the words as soon as he reached his mouth, picked up the bowl and drank the soup in two or three gulps.Mo Zhiqing was so skillful that she lifted the Empress Dowager up on her lap, and softly said to Lin Xuan: "Your Majesty, feed the Empress Dowager some ginseng soup."

After feeding a few spoonfuls, Lin Xuan's hands trembled slightly, no matter how careful he was, the ginseng soup would always flow out of the imperial grandmother's mouth, and she couldn't drink anything anymore.Lin Xuan blinked desperately with red eyes, bit his lip in pain and could hardly breathe, suddenly put the bowl aside and rushed to the window to inhale, and turned back after a while.At this time, Mo Zhiqing had just put down the ginseng soup bowl and the amount of ginseng soup that could be fed was getting less and less, and Mo Zhiqing's heart was also suffering from colic. The Empress Dowager has always been very kind to her and protected her in everything.

Lin Xuan picked up a towel, wet it with warm water, and carefully wiped the emperor's grandmother's face again. He was so focused that he seemed to want to engrave the kind face in front of his mind forever, and said hoarsely: "Emperor grandmother, Xuan'er is back. Don't be afraid of anything, with Xuan'er here, don't be afraid of anything..."

"Grandmother, I know you often think that one day you will go to find the grandpa you always miss, what will happen if only Xuan'er is left here, how sad he must be when Grandmother is gone, and you often think, What if Xuan'er went to the battlefield with his father, and the emperor couldn't come back like a brother, how sad you should be when you send everyone away. I often blame you for thinking too much, now... Xuan'er understands, let's send you away How sad..." Lin Xuan choked with sobs, "If the two of us must have a priority, how can I have the heart to let you be the last... go, grandma, grandma...you open your eyes and look at Xuan'er again, and then talk to me again Xuan'er talk... talk before leaving, okay? Huh... I know you are too tired in this life, can't you be with your grandson anymore? Grandmother—can't you be with your grandson for a few more years..."
