Return to the rumor

"A Wei." Tang Ci woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, which were completely black.

Rou Ke smiled and patted her head: "No matter how busy the military affairs are, you must rest, right?" Then she handed her soothing soup, "You haven't slept soundly these days, I just went into the kitchen to make it for you. "

Tang Ci took a sip, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's delicious."

In an instant, she remembered something again and asked, "Speaking of which, how did you and General Qu meet?"

Rou Ke listened to her cautious tone with a hint of taste, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's been so long, and I'm still thinking about it? I traveled all over the Central Plains just to find you, and naturally I stayed in Liangzhou for a while too." , we met by chance.”

"Then why did you pretend not to know her in front of me?"

"Before I went to Liangzhou, I wrote a letter to her and asked her to take care of her. She has worked in the military camp for many years, and she naturally behaves differently from ordinary women. She has her own thoughts and thinks that I take care of you too much. It is not good for you. Rehabilitation. So when we arrived in Liangzhou, she played a play with me, so that you can gradually walk out of a vast world without relying on others."

Tang Ci remained silent for a long time, silently finished the Anshen Soup, and looked at Rou Ke. Since the rebellion, with the help of Xu Qian and Qu Duo, she had hardly been free. Rou Ke took care of herself even more, her cheeks were thin There are many, but it is as sweet as sugar.

"Ah Wei." Rou Ke nodded lightly, motioning for her to finish speaking, "It's just around the corner to break into the letter, and then, you and I..."

The door of the room was pushed open, and the two followed the prestige, only to see Qu Duo and Xu Qiangong standing beside them, inviting out a graceful and gentle woman.

"Mother..."

Tangci couldn't believe it. She was planning with everyone how to rescue Yici, An Ning and others from Xindu a few days ago, and now, Yici actually appeared in front of her.

Yici always had a calm mind, and even though she was overjoyed at the moment, she could still hold it back. She just smiled and waved to her: "I heard from Master Xu and General Qu that your leg is healed? Walk a few steps and show your mother."

As soon as the words were finished, Tangci rushed forward and threw herself into Yici's arms.

Yici caressed her back, and laughed lightly: "There are so many people here, I should laugh at you for not growing up."

"In the eyes of the queen mother, the son should never grow up."

Yi Ci shakes her head and laughs at the long-lost coquettish words, but her eyes wander to Rou Ke, with no deep meaning.

Yici handed Tangci the wooden box entrusted to her by the emperor before his death, and said to Xu Qian and Qu Duo, "Although King Lu can forge imperial edicts and seals, the emperor's handwriting can still be read by the veteran court officials. Yes, as a woman, I don't understand these many tricks, and everything depends on the two adults."

Xu Qian and Qu Duo hurriedly bowed and bowed to each other: "You have waited for the shameful minister. The King of Lu is rebellious and innocent, so he can't ascend the throne and harm the country. The deposed prince is depressed in Suzhou. King Chen is too young to bear the heavy responsibility. The minister waits for you Do your best to assist Your Highness."

Tangci pursed her lower lip tightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly. The emperor died, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed. For a long time, the emperor had haunted her like a nightmare for more than ten years. One day the nightmare dissipated, and she really didn't know what to do.

Regarding the imperial decree and Yuxi, Tang Ci immediately conspired with Xu Qian and Qu Duo.

Yici took Rou Ke's hand, saying that she would not be sleepy after being exhausted, so she might as well go out for a walk.

The two walked to an empty courtyard with their own thoughts, Yici looked at Rou Ke intently, Rou Ke lowered her head inexplicably guilty.

"You and Ah Yue..." Yi Ci paused, "Is that the relationship between you and Ah Yue?"

Like the two big mountains on her shoulders collapsing suddenly, Rou Ke felt relieved for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know how to answer.

There was no disappointment on Yici's face, and there was no censure in her tone, she followed her persuasion: "When I was in Xindu, I already noticed that there were sporadic things that were wrong, but I didn't have time to ask you, but the two places suddenly separated. Just now when I arrived in Huzhou, Xu Qian and Qu Duo Come to pick me up, and the words are also very cryptic. Originally, the two of them are courtiers and generals, so they should not be involved in the palace, but the throne of the country is very close, and Ah Yue will be the monarch soon. For the sake of the continuation and ethics Presumptuously speaking..."

Rou Ke has always been polite, but immediately said: "Auntie, in fact, I have planned for a long time. When Ah Yue ascends the throne, I will flee to the Central Plains and find a place where she can't find me."

Yici tapped her on the head, and said amusedly: "You child, you pee like this, and you don't think about yourself in everything? I haven't finished talking, what are you anxious about?"

Rou Ke heard the words, coughed a few times, and then fell silent.

Yici stared at her for a while, then sighed: "Perhaps it is fate. Since the beginning of the dynasty, Yingzong has been fond of men, Huai Si and Di Lan, and even the late emperor, the emperor and me—our Tang family is absurd on the word 'love'." I'm used to it, at most it's nothing more than being criticized by the world. It's okay to think that there is more Ayue and less Ayue. There is no need to worry about the matter of children. Pick a few outstanding children from the clan to raise by your side, and choose a suitable one. , there is no precedent."

Rou Ke could hardly regain her senses, she was dazed for a long time before comprehending the meaning of Yi Ci's words, but she still hesitated: "Although I said so, Ah Yue's ambition is bound to leave a strong mark in history. , if there are more of me, I'm afraid this sum should be a stain."

Yici smiled lightly and patted her on the shoulder: "What is there to be afraid of? Since you want to stay with her, you will bear the notoriety of Qingshi with her. Things are always fair, and what is given to you will be taken from you." Go back and do other things, it just depends on whether you want to share the burden with her."

Without hesitation, Rou Ke nodded anxiously: "Of course I am willing!"

Yici raised her hand to touch the back of her neck, and said to her: "By chance, you and Ayue have gone through so many hardships. If you hadn't taken care of her carefully, her injuries would not have recovered gradually. Human life For half a lifetime, after the emperor left like this, I saw a lot in my heart. There are only two happy things in life, one is to live in good health, and the other is to grow old with the one I love. I only have a child like Ayue. I hope she lives comfortably and happily. In the future, she will not hold so much hatred in her heart. After returning to Xindu, after everything is over, I still think to myself that I will chant sutras and Buddha every day. You must accompany her and guard her. Let her live up to the expectations of the country and the people of the country, He Qinghaiyan."

Another house in Huzhou.

Yiyang and Lu He fled from Bianzhou to Liangzhou, disguised and disguised along the way, and finally escaped any danger.After arriving in Liangzhou, Yiyang followed Qu Duo and Xu Qian to march and fight, while Lu He and Tang Ci guided the country in the rear until they reached Huzhou. The two had already accumulated illustrious military exploits.

After staying in Huzhou for a long time, Yiyang ordered people to bring Lu He's family to Huzhou together, so that they could take care of them.

Lu He's mother's health is not very good. Every day, after finishing chores, Lu He always talks to her mother for a while, takes care of washing and daily life.Yiyang also wanted to be filial, but Lu He's mother had a deep sense of dignity and inferiority in her bones, and she was always trembling with Yiyang as if walking on thin ice. When she came and went, Yiyang was also worried about disturbing her old man's rest, so she stopped pushing.

Today was no exception. Lu He took care of his mother to rest, blew out the candles, closed the door, and saw Yiyang waiting for him under the eaves when he turned around.

She walked over, took Yiyang's hand, and went to the two's wing room, scolding: "Why are you always guarding me? It's so easy to be free, why don't you take a good rest, and you will attack the city again in a few days, If you are tired, how can you lead troops to fight?"

Yi Yang didn't take it seriously: "Wouldn't it be resting if I waited on the veranda? Should I go back and guard the empty room alone?"

Lu He laughed lightly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and sighed wistfully, "I'm going back to Xindu after a round trip, Ajin, do you think we will live in Xindu or somewhere else in the future?"

Yiyang pinched the tip of her nose: "I will live with you wherever you want, but..." Yiyang looked a little lonely, "Xindu must go back, I stayed there for many years, I also have to go back and see my father."

Lu He knew that Yiyang had complicated feelings for the emperor. He respected and cared for the emperor, but also complained that he treated Concubine Zhenshu coldly. On the day the news of the emperor's death reached her ears, she locked herself in the room without eating or drinking for two days. Today, if you don't speak up, you should be very tormented and blame yourself.

Holding her right hand harder, trying to reassure her, Lu He smiled and said, "It's all up to you."

On the first day of June in the 13th year of Chunyou, King Tang Yingkang of Lu came to the throne and changed his reign name to Guangxi.

After Emperor Guangxi came to the throne, Jiuchi Roulin ignored the war and was greedy for pleasure. He was only seen every month during the Shuowang Dynasty, and he disappeared for the rest of the day.

On the twelfth day of July in the first year of Guangxi, Liangzhou Wei and Xirong captured Xindu, Emperor Guangxi fled in a hurry, and was beheaded by unknown soldiers at Donghuamen, sighing.

On July [-]th of the first year of Yuanshuo, the imperial edict of Emperor Chunyou was promulgated to the world, and Tangci restored his clan status, ascended the throne as emperor, and changed his year to Yuanshuo. the beginning.

A tomb in the suburbs of Beijing.

Ji Buchu and his fast horse galloped and rushed there, and saw a woman with a phoenix crown and a xiapei standing in front of the tomb. When she heard the movement, she turned around and smiled sweetly: "Isn't the Khan negotiating the territory with the emperor? Why? Came here in a blink of an eye.”

Seeing Ye Qiuniang's simple and plain attire, suddenly she was wearing a fancy dress, even though the wedding dress was a little outdated, Jibu Chuhe was flustered for a moment, turned away and coughed lightly, and said: "I heard that the scenery in the suburbs of Beijing is good, I come and see."

Ye Qiuniang curled her lips and was about to speak when her footsteps swayed and she almost fell down. Jibuchu and Jianbu stepped forward to support her, and suddenly realized that her face was as pale as white paper, and dark red blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth , coughing more than.

"You...you..." Ji Buchuhe's eyes turned red anxiously, and he wanted to pick her up and go to the city to seek medical treatment.

Ye Qiuniang hooked her skirt with her fingertips, shook her head, and said with a light smile, "Na Ren told you? I wanted to leave..." Coughing a few times, she lowered her eyes to look at the old Xi clothes, "but it was dusted in the royal tomb, I want to wipe it clean, dress nicely, and go to see her..."

Ji Buchu and trembling hands wiped the blood froth at the corner of her mouth, but more and more wiped, and her body became colder and colder.

Ye Qiuniang's eyes slowly moved to the tombstone, her face was full of soft light: "At that time, the emperor betrothed me to her, and I have admired her for a long time in my heart. She never slept with me, and I didn't care much about it." , I just feel that it is good to be with her. Until one day, when she was drunk and I was helping her wash and change, she took my body, and I didn't know that she was a girl with red makeup. She is so smart A fool who has been confused all his life, still thinking about his promise to me in prison, he sewed the wedding dress and sent it along with a letter."

The story of Di Lan and Huai Si, Ye Qiuniang has told her many times, always ends here abruptly, and Ji Buchuhe asks with a sob: "I don't want to hear this-you follow me, you Central Plains masters rejuvenate!" Aren’t there many capable people and strange men?!”

Staring at the tombstone, feeling a sudden dull pain in her heart, Ye Qiuniang coughed violently for a while, closed her eyes slightly, and said to herself weakly: "She said, there is a person living in her heart, a woman, a golden branch, a jade leaf, a phoenix son and a dragon grandson. She stays with this person every day, laughing because she laughs, crying because she cries, but because she is a woman and the other person is also a woman, she is afraid that she will tarnish her reputation, and she is even more afraid of falling flowers Deliberately flowing water is ruthless, and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. When she was about to die, she finally fulfilled her wish, and the wedding dress was sewn. May I choose another lover. If I don’t dislike it, I will wear the wedding dress she sewed I worshiped heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber."

Two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and Ye Qiuniang said tremblingly: "Tell me—is she a fool? Can't she tell whether I like her or not? I...but I'm not very smart, or she hides it well." That's great. We just missed this life, and it's irreversible."

"Why is it irreversible?!" Jibu Chuhe was extremely anxious, "She is a fool, do you think you are not?! I..."

Ye Qiuniang stretched out her index finger to cover her words at the right time, she shook her head: "Lingque, you are still young, there are tens of millions of people in the world, there will always be someone who likes each other when you come and go. I have been selfish for most of my life, you today Let me do it one more time, let me go down and look for her with nothing to worry about or default on."

Her voice gradually lowered, her body no longer had any warmth, and just as the ending fell, her index finger resting on Jibuchu and her lips fell silently.

After a long time, Jibu Chuhe hugged her cold body and murmured: "There are tens of millions of people in the world. You have been obsessed with a wedding dress for many years, but have you ever found a second person you like?"

On July [-]th of the first year of Yuanshuo, Xirong and the Jin Dynasty negotiated for many days. Xirong Khan Jibu Chuhe proposed a condition to Emperor Yuanshuo—to bury Di Lan and Huai Si in the royal tomb, and Emperor Yuanshuo readily agreed. Jibu Chuhe led his troops back to Xirong, and still maintained a vassal and tribute relationship with the Jin Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty was intact and the country was continuous.
