, can't understand her intention of embroidering epiphyllum; but what she said to him, he still can't forget it.

"Why embroider epiphyllum?"

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She burst into a childish smile that belonged to her, and she talked loudly, "It's just a flash in the pan, but its beauty is unforgettable for those who have seen it. At that time, I was in the audience day and night. Buddha, I have thought about how to live my life countless times. Should I live a long life or live a beautiful life? After thinking about it for a long time day and night, I saw Epiphyllum on that day, and I thought, I want to live a beautiful life.”

He couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "You don't want to live too long?"

"What's the point of living so long? Me, as long as I die, there are still people crying for me." Her laughter was pure and gentle, just like the singing of a yellow warbler.

Tuotuo opened his eyes, and the images of his childhood were superimposed in front of his eyes, which made him confused for a moment, but he calmed down immediately.He spread his palms, looked at the jade pendant he snatched from Boyan Hudu's neck last night, and smiled bitterly—because he hugged her not only for his own desire, but also for his use.

Since his cousin was banned, his uncle forbade him to get close to her and kept him on guard everywhere, and the only way he could think of to get close to her was "secret meeting".He admitted that half of the reason why he touched her was to let himself cut off all his feelings for her, and treat it as his last night's possession; he also knew that only at that time would he have the chance to touch her neck , Then steal the jade pendant without anyone noticing.

So in the end he was using her.

"I'm sorry...but I have something to do," he murmured.

Win over

The author has something to say: Baidu is the latest update, and I have been forgetting to come here to update the article recently. I am sorry that Tuotuo deliberately suppressed the memories that flowed like a frenzy, and the jade pendant in his hand unconsciously clenched even tighter.He knew that the things in his palm were unusual, and if his guess was true, the jade pendant would definitely not be a gift from King Yude, but probably entrusted to his cousin by his uncle.

According to my uncle's suspicious mind, and the results of the previous search, the whereabouts of the other half of the tiger talisman cannot be separated from the jade pendant on my cousin.Because the cousin is obedient to the uncle, and because he and the uncle have different political positions, it is natural that the uncle will choose the cousin as a pawn...

While thinking, he played with the jade pendant in his hand, and he discovered the strangeness of the jade pendant in the glowing candlelight.He brought the jade pendant closer to the fire source, and saw the engraved characters from it.He couldn't help staring at the Chinese characters on it, and muttered to himself, "It's better to break the jade than to tile it."

Would rather the jade be broken than tiled?

Before Tuotuo could understand the meaning of the engraving on the jade pendant, a servant outside suddenly rushed in, "My lord, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty personally..."

From the intermittent words and tense expressions of the servants, he could tell that the emperor had come here, and he hurriedly stood up to welcome him.It's just that before his body stood upright, a loud voice came in first, "I don't want to disturb General Tuotuo, sit down."

Tuotuo half-closed his eyes, unable to figure out why the emperor Ziye personally drove to the general's mansion.He immediately put away the jade pendant in his hand, pretending to be calm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not with Concubine Qi, but instead came to the General's Mansion to accompany the humble minister?"

"I don't have much time to joke with you." Tuo Huan had a sullen face, ignoring the Tuotuo Yu Yu, his brows were tightly frowned, recalling the scene at the Daming Palace the day before yesterday, "I'll get straight to the point. This paragraph During this time, I have not only received a letter from a Han official to the prime minister, but it should be that the prime minister abolished the imperial examination system, which made the Han officials quite critical, and the southerners are also restless, so I am afraid that civil strife will arise."

Tuotuo couldn't help raising the corners of his lips when he heard this, "The prime minister intends to rule the country with warriors, just like the emperors of the five dynasties in the past; but he didn't know that during the Tang and Wu Zhou Dynasties, the empress was popular among the people because of the imperial examination system to promote talents. The prime minister weakened the power of the Han people in this way. No wonder the Han officials wrote to the Prime Minister."

Tuo Huan quietly stared at Tuotuo's weird expression when he talked about Boyan, and couldn't help asking: "I have always wondered why General Tuotuo went against the prime minister and supported me instead? Although I threatened you, But I remember that everything you did in the past was for Mier Qishi, could it be that I was wrong?"

"Your Majesty is not wrong, but this humble official also begged for Mier." Tuotuo bluntly admitted his selfishness, which made Tuo Huan frown, but he then kowtowed and knelt down, saying like an oath: "However, Prime Minister Boyan The implementation of the anti-Han policy is inconsistent with the philosophy of the Weichen, so the Weichen cannot sit idly by. Perhaps as His Majesty said, in the past, the Weichen only wanted to settle down and protect the family, but that day through the Buddhist words of Hutuktu, the Weichen Changed my mind, I want to use my modest strength to help the Yuan Kingdom to live in peace and prosperity!"

Tuo Huan looked at the kneeling Tuotuo, and hurriedly pulled Tuotuo's arm to get him up.There was a smile on Tuo Huan's face that couldn't be hidden. After all, he had Tuotuo's real support, which meant that he was not far away from becoming the orthodox supreme under heaven. "If this is the case, I will definitely become the wise king in the eyes of the noble concubine and the general, and create a prosperous Yuan Dynasty again!"

"I believe the noble concubine will be too happy to sleep when she hears His Majesty's words."

But although the two reached a consensus, they had their own thoughts at the next moment.Tuo Huan remembered his other purpose for coming to the General's Mansion, and immediately pressed Tuotuo's shoulder, his eyes became deep and sharp, "The last thing, before I leave, I want to advise the General—I know you have old feelings for Queen Hongji Assassin , but I still want you to put an end to such unfaithful thoughts. This is for the good of you and the queen, I hope the general understands."

Tuotuo never thought that he would be persuaded by the emperor who was obsessed with the imperial concubine, he curled up his mouth, trying to hide his grief and loneliness towards his cousin, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Empress Hongji assassination is the person that the prime minister values, and the humble minister Those with different positions are the enemies of humble officials. I will never use my own desires to hinder the peace of the Yuan Kingdom, let alone betray the emperor."

"With the general's words, I feel relieved." Tuo Huan smiled like the sun in satisfaction, and he patted Tuotuo's shoulder vigorously before leaving the general's mansion and returning to the palace.

Aiyu

The author has something to say: If I remember correctly, I remember someone said that "Ai You" is a gift from God, no matter, anyway, I interpret it this way!As soon as Tuo Huan stepped out of the general's mansion, Gu Duo, who was following behind, immediately stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, those people are still following..."

"It seems that General Tuotuo is also under surveillance. Gu Duo, remember to keep one alive, and the rest must be cleared." After Tuo Huan gave Gu Duo the order, he raised his guard and raised his knife to defend himself. After all, he was no longer in that year. The cowardly brother of the emperor in Daqingdao, although he is not as strong as the imperial concubine, he is still able to deal with the basic skills of fighting the enemy.

Under the moonlight, his brown gold braided jacket gleamed, and Gu Duo and his bodyguards encircled the spies, wielding a knife, reminiscent of Xue Chan who fought on the battlefield back then.

After letting a secret agent escape, they rode back to the palace on horseback. At this time, because they couldn't figure out the emperor's intention of going out at night, Gu Duo stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, I have never understood the purpose of your meeting with General Tuotuo at night... If you I am only doing this to see General Tuotuo, forgive me for your courage, you do not value your dignity too much... After all, the prime minister is not a cheap lamp, if there is an urgent matter in the future, it is better not to go to the general's mansion, and summon General Tuotuo?"

Tuo Huan laughed in a low voice, "Of course I can also summon the general, but doing so is not as powerful as if I went to the general's mansion in person. Since the prime minister sent someone to follow me, let him know that I went to the general's mansion in a humble manner. A necessary link. I guessed that Tuotuo had the intention of betraying Boyan, but in order to confirm it, and to prevent Tuotuo from going back on his word, I had to go out of the palace and take risks."

"Your Majesty means to let the prime minister completely break with the general?" Gu Duo asked softly.

"That's right. Tutuo is the only one who won't focus on two things. After all, Tuotuo is a wise man. In terms of fighting wits, I still can't compare to him. To deal with Tuotuo, I can only act first."

***

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a fine snowfall in the early morning, and the scenery inside the palace was particularly charming because of the white snowflakes.Xinuan and Dongnuan in the harem are sunny and rainy at the same time.

The rainer is Boyan Hudu who lives in Dongnuan and is the head of the harem.She stays behind closed doors all day long, depressed.

The clear one is Qi Chengniang who was promoted to noble concubine.She was raised in the Xinuan Xingde Palace bestowed by the emperor.

The days passed quickly, and Seungniang's protruding abdomen was getting bigger and bigger every day, and it seemed that she was about to give birth at any time.Hong Dan, who was taking care of her meticulously by her side, recited Dao more than once about her abnormally large belly, but when she asked the imperial doctor, she always answered that it was not a serious problem.Cheng Niang thinks that Hong Dan is just worrying, but in fact she doesn't feel bothered, maybe it's because of her martial arts since she was a child, she can still walk freely with her pregnant belly.

On this day, Tuo Huan came to Xingde Hall with a happy brow and smiling face.Smiling like a child, he walked up to Chengniang in three steps at a time, and pulled her into his arms with open arms, "Do you miss me?"

Cheng Niang pursed her lips and smiled, but she was not as excited as Tuo Huan, "Then Your Majesty wants to be a concubine?"

"That's inevitable." Tuo Huan sat beside Cheng Niang with a grin, and regardless of her wishes, he stretched out his hand to stroke her belly, "My child, I feel happier because of you."

Chengniang has long been used to his own way of doing things, and has no dislike for his every move. On the contrary, she seems to like everything he does... She stared at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, have you thought about naming the child?" ?”

"I'll think about it..." Tuo Huan pouted, as if thinking, then changed his posture, resting his head lightly on Chengniang's belly, and asked softly, "My child, I call you Aiyouke good?"

"Aiyou?" Seungniang also softly called out this name.Suddenly, she felt the child kick her, and Tuo Huan, who was leaning on her belly, also felt it.
