Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

After saying this sentence, Dong Gong couldn't help but suffocate, and lowered his head with a gloomy expression.Yinggong smiled gently at Donggong, stretched out his hand to rub the top of his head, and changed the subject: "A few days ago, the people I handed over to you, have you met?"

Quan hurriedly calmed down, and replied: "Most of them have been sorted out, thank you, Your Royal Highness, they are all good ministers who benefit the country and the people."

Ying nodded with a smile, very calm, "Well, you are indeed a smart child, and I feel much relieved when I leave it to you."

Dong Gong felt hot in his heart, and suddenly felt that the thing he was holding in his hand had added a lot of weight.During the time when he was recuperating from illness, Ying Gongxia came to visit him many times.He didn't say any words of consolation, and only gave Donggong a single volume with many names written on it.The records in it are all the ministers who are proficient in practical work and quite capable.

Before Prince Quan could be surprised, Palace Ying took out another copy, bluntly saying that it was his confidant who had been working for many years, and at this time, he would hand over all of them to Donggong and let him do his bidding.

At that time, His Majesty Donggong was still grieving about his life experience.As soon as this move came out, he was really stunned.Yinggong didn't wait for him to ask any questions, so he explained the current twists and turns in detail.

Let's talk about the exile of Mr. Genji, and his relationship with Minister Zuo is not as good as before.Some of the courtiers who originally supported the East Palace were no longer close.Although Prince Quan's current status is still stable, there is no support at first glance, and the power behind him is very empty.Such embarrassment is similar to Suzaku's situation back then.

It is really impossible to describe in words how hard His Majesty has been since he took the throne, and he has gone through hardships to get to where he is today.His Majesty Ying Palace has assisted His Majesty for many years, and the power in his hands cannot be underestimated.At this time of ups and downs, he actually handed over all his wealth to Donggong, so as to prevent Donggong from going on the path of desolation in the past and being manipulated into a useless puppet by the aristocratic family.

If it is said that the servants of Yingying Palace do not consider Prince Quan at all, it is actually not the case.He had planned this kind of entrustment for a long time, and originally planned to entrust it slowly, so there would be many opportunities for Donggong to arrange it more properly.

It's just that people can't count as good as heaven, and the opportunity for such delivery came so early.It's just that it was a matter of course, but now it seems to have the meaning of compensation, which makes people feel mixed feelings.

Suddenly receiving such a large force, Dong Gong was half surprised and half sighed.Ying Gongxia never gave him a chance to react, almost forcing him to familiarize himself with it as quickly as possible.Therefore, Prince Quan was forced into such a busy situation, and he didn't have many opportunities to continue to express his gratitude.

This matter was kept from His Majesty, and the relationship between Suzaku and Yingying has been slightly flawed recently, so they did not notice Donggong's actions.I thought it was because his heart was strong and he gradually became sensible that he escaped from the sad situation so quickly.

Under the Ying Palace, this person is direct and ruthless in his work, and mostly ignores other people's feelings in order to achieve his goals.Even when comforting others, she has a cold and direct appearance, which makes people suspect that all that tenderness is placed on one person.

It took Prince Quan a while to meet and get acquainted with the ministers on the roster, and he gradually began to get in touch with government affairs.After getting busy, he gradually forgot all his sorrows, and he took time out of his busy schedule to come to celebrate his birthday today.

Since these things were mentioned in the words, Donggong couldn't help raising some questions.Because Ying told him not to let His Majesty know about this, many questions were held back and he dared not speak.

Ying Gong frowned, listening to Dong Gong with a quiet expression.Pointing to a few of them, he said: "You don't have to see all of these people, just ask Xingping. He is leisurely all day long, so you should find something to do with him..."

His smile was shallow, and every word was full of insight, and he said it in such a casual tone.Dong Gong's nervous heart gradually calmed down, and he was fascinated by listening carefully.

"You're a smart kid. With these things, it won't be so difficult in the future. It's just that everything in the world is changeable, so you need to be more careful."

These words sounded really ominous, as if they were saying goodbye, Dong Gong couldn't help frowning.After coming like this, he felt that there was no vitality under Yingying Palace, just like being drunk and dreaming of death.The originally firm gaze also became silent and desolate.This is not a sign of great auspiciousness, except for those who are discouraged.

Thinking that His Majesty in the palace is also in the same situation, always in a daze, absent-minded.But Yingying is more like a famous sword in the dust, abandoned by the owner.

Quan naturally persuaded His Majesty, if there is a gap, it is better to make it clear.But every time it was mentioned, Suzaku always showed an ashamed expression, and Donggong was very puzzled.He also knew that it was related to the major event that just happened, but Donggong had already made a decision in his heart, and he would not change his mind for a while.However, at this time, he was caught in a dilemma, and the person who couldn't get over the torment in his heart was not Prince Quan.How he justifies himself not to blame will only make His Majesty more troubled, and he blames himself endlessly in his heart.

This trouble cannot be discussed in detail with Yinggong, if Yinggong's subordinates come forward to defend, it will only cause a deeper misunderstanding.Donggong hesitated to speak several times, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Yinggong didn't seem to see Quan's troubled expression, maybe with his current mood, he no longer has the strength to distinguish others.

At this moment today, Yinggong seems to have planned to hand over all the forces to the East Palace without reservation.Not only invited Donggong to stay, but also summoned several important confidantes.It was only when the sky was dark that I planned to stop.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, he seemed to feel that he didn't speak clearly, and wanted to say it again.Just at the beginning, Dong Gong said: "Brother Huang has told you this many times, and I have written it down."

Yingying seemed a little dazed, she was stunned, and then smiled: "Is that so, I forgot..."

This lack of energy and trance is really worrying.I just feel that my arrival on this birthday seems to exhaust all the energy of the prince.

Really couldn't bear such a bad situation, Quan finally expressed the doubts and worries in his heart: "Why did you torture yourself to such a situation, His Majesty the emperor found out that it will only hurt you even more."

Ying really didn't expect him to ask, and only replied in a low voice: "It's just...it seems that all my efforts have been exhausted, and at this moment, Mangmang feels homeless."

"Why did it come to this!" Donggong was puzzled and couldn't help raising his voice, "Brother Emperor, His Majesty has noticed everything you have done. Your Majesty and I trust you very much!"

Yinggong said nothing, only sighed deeply.After being silent for a long while, he waved to Donggong and persuaded him: "Brother Huang is fine, so you don't have to worry so much. As for Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything..."

Donggong was puzzled, muttering that he really didn't understand what the adults were thinking.Wouldn't he be willing to explain the misunderstanding clearly if he hadn't really reached the point where he had nothing to say?

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, His Majesty gave blessings in the palace.Yinggong couldn't help but show up on such a day, and was finally willing to come out of the house.Because of the depression in his heart, his complexion was not as pale as usual, and it was a little terribly pale.The gloomy color between the eyebrows can almost melt into reality, except for a pair of eyes that are very calm.Although the whole person looks depressed, he is also extremely peaceful.

Throughout the Dragon Boat Festival, he was always distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.At the end of the banquet, a little attendant came running from nowhere, bowed his waist and saluted, saying that the East Palace is invited, and there is a very important matter.When he asked what was the matter, the attendant just shook his head and didn't know.

Followed the people to the place in a hurry, but saw that it was a hidden place next to the imperial pond.I don't know how it was arranged, but it was the place where Yingying and Suzaku often met before.

This place is lush with vegetation, very lovely and pleasant.Yinggong has not been here for a long time, and for a while, I fell into the memories of the past, and my body was full of nostalgia.

At this point, he naturally understood Donggong's intentions.So he also put away his previous mentality of avoiding the world, sat down and waited peacefully.He is not a sentimental character, with his cold heart.After completing this step according to the plan, there will be great actions after this.

However, Suzaku's cold reception made Yinggong even more at a loss than he thought, and the whole person fell into a very contradictory state.

According to the previous plan, he also handed over the power in his hands to the East Palace.From the reaction of Prince Quan, the communication with the ministers was also very smooth.But at this step, His Highness became uncertain and suspicious.

He didn't know if he could really take Suzaku away as he wished, and he panicked every step he took.As a result, he was in a trance, and many things progressed very slowly due to his hesitation.

This kind of uncertainty is entrenched in his heart and cannot be resolved, and what makes Hotaru unable to move forward the most is Suzaku's hurt eyes when he looks at him.That accusation and unbelievability always hurts my heart every time I think about it.

Indulging in such eyes, Midnight Menghui felt even more chilled.Qing Gong of the Ministry of War is not as cruel as he imagined, and he cares more about Suzaku than he imagined.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, so hurried.Yinggong's mind swayed, and he turned his head quickly.I saw His Majesty rushing over anxiously with a worried face, and when he saw him, he was completely surprised——

"why you?"

Ying felt a pain in her heart, and tilted her head, "It's Quan who said... I have something important to do."

"This kid...really," Suzaku seemed to sense something wrong with his tone just now, and forced himself to laugh in a panic, "He asked someone to tell me that he accidentally fell and got hurt here, and told me to hurry up come over……"

In order to let the two imperial brothers untie their knots, His Majesty Donggong tried every means and finally came up with the most absurd and direct way.Sure enough, after bringing His Majesty here, all the messengers disappeared.Although I don't know what two people can say when they meet, it's better than hiding from each other and not even saying a word.

The two stood face to face in embarrassment, and fell silent after a few words.Yinggong looked at Suzaku's beautiful face greedily and nostalgicly, and felt that she had fallen into an unsolvable illusion.What is the reason that makes me so panic, even after many years, I still feel that this person in front of me does not belong to me.

Or why for so many years, he has always been obsessed with Suzaku alone, and can't see anything else about other people.It seems that the meaning of this life exists for him.

How long will this love last? It's a thousand years at a glance until the vicissitudes of life.Or wake up suddenly one day, and find that all the romantic affairs in the world are caused by one person wasting away, and from then on, you are both annoyed and bored.

Yingying couldn't help but ask herself again, it was worth doing so much for him.If it's worth it, why is there still such a bitter taste in my heart? Even in the current situation, I don't have a trace of satisfaction.

"I... really want to take you away..."

Hotaru heard her own trembling voice, and finally expressed her long-awaited desire.Suddenly he felt blurred and moist in front of his eyes, and he realized that he was already crying.

"Many times, I have been telling myself: Even if you don't want to, even if you use the most vicious method, regardless of your wishes, and regardless of what the court is like, I will save you from here..."

He stepped forward, and the emotions he had suppressed for many days finally collapsed.As if he had caught a piece of driftwood to save him, he hugged Suzaku tightly in his arms.

"But at the end, I realized... Even if it's just a look, I can't bear your disgust for me. As long as I think that one day, you won't talk to me again, I don't know what to do at all. "

Hotaru hugged him, and buried her tearful cheek into Suzaku's shoulder.The extreme grievance and guilt slipped down and wet Suzaku's clothes.

"But even if it's like this...Even if Suzaku hates me...I still want to be with you, I want Suzaku to only look at me..."

The scene from many years ago was repeated again. At that time, Yingying was here to ask for a unique reward in the world with an unspeakable friendship.

The anxiety and ardent expectation at that time were condensed several times in the earnest eyes of Ying Gongxia.In this strong man, the rare fragility in his life was undoubtedly exposed by one person.

Every little change made him feel uneasy, he had done so many things, he was afraid that one day he would become powerless and watch the one he loves go away.

However, he forgot.

Forgot to ask Suzaku if he would like to do something before doing something.

Only now, he reined in the precipice and stopped.Remember to turn around and ask the person who wants to hold yourself back in time.

Suzaku, do you want to go with me?

The author has something to say: Ah, I don't know what to do with this paragraph.After writing, I found that it was too obscure.

Yingying had the intention of rebelling, and forced Donggong to be emperor.But finally stopped.
