Dongyin

?The last chapter mentioned that Duan Hong hurt Chu Xiying because of his unresolved heartache, and was sad in the house alone.

After an unknown amount of time, the door creaked again, Duan Hong wiped away the tears in a panic, and fixed his eyes, it was Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen walked forward with his head down, and was startled when he saw the broken bowls all over the floor, but he avoided it, "Return to Your Majesty, the army is about to leave to defend."

Duan Hong nodded and said, "As far as military matters, no matter how big or small, Su Jiali should be free to handle them."

"Yes." Yang Zhen hesitated a little.

Duan Hongguan's expression was in his heart, and he didn't ask too much, "Have the two traitors been hunted down?"

Yang Zhen said, "Those two people fled towards Chen Guo with their army."

Chen Guo?Aren't those people Wei Ming's subordinates? Why did they flee to Chen Guo? Could it be that Wei Ming colluded with Liu Cun?Duan Hong frowned.When the rebels fled, they took Zheng Yu with them. He would inevitably join forces with Wei Chen for the sake of saving his life. If that happened, things would be difficult.

"Your Majesty," Yang Zhen didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "I feel that General Su is not up to the task."

"Oh?" Duan Hong stared at him in surprise, "How do you say that?" Then he said seriously, "Do you know what kind of crime is to slander a court official?"

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of slandering others." Yang Zhen knelt down on his knees and said, "Three days ago, the rebels rebelled. The number of casualties of the army increased greatly, and the rebels quickly passed through Liangcheng."

"There is such a thing?" Duan Hong was really puzzled, he was silent for a while, and said, "I believe that the Prime Minister will not misunderstand the person. I am afraid that he did it for some other reason. I will ask him to come to ask questions tomorrow morning."

"Yes..." Yang Zhen was obviously not worried, he hesitated to reveal the conversation he had with Su Jiali in the morning, and said, "It is true that General Su's Wen Tao and Wu Lue are far superior to ordinary people, but he has too many rules and many disadvantages. Your Majesty, please learn from me and choose talented people."

Duan Hong listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "Get up now"

"Your Majesty?" Yang Zhen stood up in panic, feeling very unwilling.

Seeing that he was confused, Duan Hong wanted to mention him, and sighed, "The Prime Minister has passed away. From then on, I, Dongyin, have no prime minister, only me! Do you understand?"

Yang Zhen was startled, and suddenly realized, "I'm stupid."

Duan Hong nodded, showing a little fatigue, "You go down first."

"Resignation." Yang Zhen bowed back and noticed the broken bowl on the ground. After thinking about it in his heart, he stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw Miss Biao came out physically and mentally broken. I don't know what's wrong?"

Duan Hong couldn't help but stared at him squarely, and said, "She's not at fault."

Didn't Yang Zhen know the meaning of Duan Hong's look, so he just forced his scalp and said, "My minister also said a few words to His Majesty. His Majesty was seriously injured that night. Although he met Miss Biao under the banyan tree, he was helpless. Han As the night was getting dark and the rain continued, His Majesty lost a lot of blood and urgently needed hot soup to warm himself up, but where could he find it in the wilderness? Seeing that His Majesty's life was hanging by a thread, everyone was in despair. Fortunately, Miss Biao was quick-witted and used blood instead of soup at a critical moment. When I got back to the room, my whole body was exhausted, and I kept chanting His Majesty's name. This kind of friendship is for us onlookers who see it with tears, Your Majesty..."

"Needless to say!" Duan Hong interrupted, and said bluntly, "Go down!"

"His Majesty!"

Duan Hong made a gesture, forcing him to go out.

Yang Zhen sighed in his heart, and resigned helplessly.

The room fell silent again, and Duan Hong recalled Yang Zhen's words just now, all kinds of feelings came to his heart.No wonder Chu Xiying's face was pale, why is she so stupid?

Duan Hong was upset and thought wildly for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything.Sleepiness gradually hit her, and she fell asleep without paying attention.

The dream was a vast expanse of whiteness, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Duan Hong walked in a daze. For some reason, his feet suddenly became empty, and he fell straight down.

Although the fear of falling was unforgettable, it seemed that it only lasted for a moment. Before Duan Hong could cry out, he fell onto the stone slab, but he didn't feel any pain.

It was a house, Duan Hong looked around and felt familiar.While thinking about it, a gazebo suddenly appeared in front of him.Standing in the pavilion is a woman in blue, her abdomen is slightly swollen, her temperament is blue, but there is an unresolved sadness in her brows.Is it Chu Qinglan? !

Duan Hong's gaze was fixed, she rushed forward with a stride, and suddenly found a two or three year old girl in the pavilion, the child was holding a white chess, and she looked good, the two were actually playing chess.Chu Qinglan's belly was obviously much bigger. She sat on the stone bench with a calmer expression than before.

"Aunt, it's your turn."

"Xi'er" Chu Qinglan smiled softly and said, "Come here and listen, the little guy is restless again."

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly put down the chess piece in her hand, walked to Chu Qinglan with the help of the table, listened to it for a while, and suddenly said excitedly, "Auntie, I heard, my brother is real leather."

"How do you know it's your younger brother?" Chu Qinglan was quite surprised.

"My mother said that boys make trouble, and the one in my aunt's stomach must be a younger brother."

"Really, my aunt would rather it be a girl." Chu Qinglan sighed softly, took the girl's hand, and said, "Xi'er, you have to remember that no man in this world is good."

Who is Xi'er?Could it be Chu Xiying?Duan Hong thought to himself, and when he raised his eyes to look again, the outside of the pavilion was already withered and the cold wind was blowing.

There was a man in fur clothes standing in the pavilion, his appearance was somewhat familiar, this was Chu Tianheng, Duan Hong remembered.

"Lan'er, hurry up, people from Pingnan Palace are coming soon."

"I won't go, what will you do if I go, what will your parents do?"

"I can't control that much anymore!" Chu Tianheng said, "The King Pingnan has a great reputation, so I don't think he will do anything to us."

"Big reputation, big brother, what do you think a person who raped his siblings on their wedding night can't do?" Chu Qinglan's voice was crying.

"Let's go!!"

"Daddy..."

"Miss, you've been tossing around all day, go back and rest. I'll just send this soup over."

"I'm fine," Chu Xi lingered, "Master Yang brought back some high-quality medicinal materials today, and His Majesty's medicine should also be replaced."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what I owed her in my last life!" Ying'er deliberately hummed and said to Chu Xiying, who knew that she was not angry, but instead apologized a little, and only whispered, "Miss, you are so sorry for her!" , is she treating you well? I clearly watched you come out of the room crying this noon. "

"Ying'er, don't mention the past. Not everything can be rewarded. You treat me well, have you ever thought of getting any benefits?"

"That's different, the lady is the master and I'm the servant." Ying'er muttered, "Anyway, mine belongs to the lady."

"I never treated you as a servant..." It is useless to say this to Ying'er many times, Chu Xiying sighed, "The soup is getting cold quickly, let's go there first."

"Oh..." Ying'er glanced at her timidly, picked up the dinner plate and followed behind.

The two pushed the door open and entered the room. Chu Xiying subconsciously looked at the bed, and saw half of the quilt hanging on the edge of the bed. Duan Hong was sleeping?She signaled Ying'er to keep her voice down, and walked in with light steps.

Chu Xiying walked to the bed, picked up the quilt, and went to see Duan Hong, but was startled.Duan Hong's forehead was covered with sweat, his brows were wrinkled, his breathing was uneven, and he looked very anxious.

At this time, Ying'er put away the dinner plate, and saw Chu Xiying taking Duan Hong's pulse.She looked at it curiously, and felt something was wrong, she asked Chu Xiying in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"I'm afraid I'm having a nightmare." Chu Xiying stared at Duan Hong, although he was relieved, he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing her distressed expression, Ying'er really hated iron and steel, and snorted, "She deserves to have a nightmare, ah, she deserves to be frightened."

"Ying'er..." Chu Xiying had no choice but to "go get a basin of hot water"

"Know it"

Ying'er went out unwillingly, Chu Xi sighed, and wiped the sweat on Duan Hong's forehead with his handkerchief.Unexpectedly, Duan Hong's expression became more and more anxious, and his breathing became short of breath.

"Mom, you go, go... go..."

Seeing this, "Your Majesty" Chu Xiying couldn't help shaking her shoulders lightly, but Duan Hong suddenly grabbed her wrist wound with astonishing strength.

Chu Xi lingered in pain and struggled instinctively, but Duan Hong grasped tighter and tighter.

"Hiro!"

This cry pierced Duan Hong's ears slowly and forcefully, and her eyes went dark for an instant, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw Chu Xiying's anxious face and the slender hand that had already been covered with red marks by herself.

Duan Hong hurriedly let go, struggled to sit up and looked around, heaved a sigh of relief, "So it's here."

"Are you having a nightmare?" Chu Xiying quietly covered the wound on her wrist, got up and poured half a bowl of ginseng soup to "suppress the shock first"

"I seem to be dreaming about my mother," Duan Hong sighed, took the bowl, and was about to drink, when he suddenly raised his face, "And you."

Chu Xiying just looked at her, didn't think about anything, and was just so speechless.

Duan Hong thought she didn't believe it, and continued, "Really! I also dreamed that you were playing chess in the pavilion. Mother said I was kicking her, and asked you to listen."

"..." Chu Xiying was still speechless, only looked at her for a moment, and said, "The soup is getting cold."

"You..." Duan Hong stared at her dejectedly, and looked down at the soup, which was tasteless and sullen because he put it on the table, "Why don't you believe it?"

"..."

Chu Xiying remained silent. Seeing that Duan Hong was about to get angry, he reacted and said, "I didn't say I didn't believe it."

"Really?" Duan Hong looked at her suspiciously, and then remembered the scene in his dream and said bitterly, "Damn Chen Shikang, you dare to chase and kill my mother. It seems that I am too kind to him, no, I want to send People will go back and kill him all over the house." After saying that, he wanted to call people in.

"Hong'er" Chu Xiying heard this, couldn't help but sat down and pulled her and said, "Things in dreams can't be true, why are you so hasty?"

"He is!" Duan Hong said, "If it wasn't for the fact that he is still useful, he would have been hacked to pieces!"

Chu Xiying smiled bleakly, and said, "It's not him who should be hacked into pieces."

"you!"

"Your mother's biggest regret in this life is that she did not get rid of the title of Mrs. Pingnan Wang Fulan until she died. Hong'er, can you help her?"

"I..." Duan Hong's heart was in a mess, she unconsciously picked up the half bowl of soup, hesitated for a while, but put it down and said, "It's cold, let's change to another bowl."

"Hiro?!"

Duan Hong turned his head away and said nothing.

It was Shi Ying'er who came in with hot water, saw that Duan Hong was awake, and asked, "Miss, is the hot water still available?"

"Take them all out!" Chu Xiying stared at Duan Hong, got up and said with tears in his eyes, "I thought you were just heartless and ungrateful to me..."

Chu Xiying got angry, Duan Hong looked back at her, and these words came to mind.

As expected, Duan Hong didn't relax at all, Chu Xiying was extremely disappointed, she stared at her coldly, turned around and left.Just unexpectedly, Duan Hong grabbed her hand.In an instant, Chu Xiying felt that time stood still, as if only that warm hand was left in the whole world.Feeling magnified in her heart, Chu Xiying froze and kept making excuses for Duan Hong. Her palms were sweaty, could she have some unspeakable difficulties?

"...Xi'er"

These words were as violent as a mountain torrent erupting, destroying the last embankment in Chu Xiying's heart. She turned around slowly, looked at Duan Hong with pleading eyes, and said in disbelief, "What did you call me?"

"Play chess with me"

Chu Xiying just stared at her blankly, unable to speak, the strength in her hand gradually disappeared, and Duan Hong guided her to sit down.

Ying'er moved Xiaoji over to set up the chessboard, and then Duan Hong let go of his hands to pick up the chess pieces.

Chu Xiying's expression gradually calmed down, watching Duan Hong's meticulous chess moves, his heart was still churning.Why is Duan Hong still unwilling to remove Chu Qinglan's status? Is it because her father is too kind to her, or time has made her feel that the word mother is just a word?
