Chapter 34 Thirty-fourth chapter Xiangxiao

When the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, a long-lost guest came to the palace of Bi Kingdom. He was once ordered to go out of Beijing and not return, and created such a legendary folk genius doctor Jiang Wanyi who "from commoner to prince and then back to commoner". And the reason for his return this time is exactly the same as last time - Xihe. It was also poisoned by "One Dream Thousand Years". Although Xi He had the onset later than Zhao Yin because she didn't drink alcohol, she took much more food after all, so the degree of limb damage was much more serious.Later, large bruises began to appear on the skin, which even spread to the face, and then began to fester and pus, looking extremely terrifying.

Therefore, Jiang Chenyu ordered someone to recall Jiang Wanyi, and gave him two choices: either, to revive her; or, to prevent the deterioration of her condition and let Xihe recover. But the days passed day by day, Xinghua all withered, and Jiang Wanyi couldn't find a way to save her. "Why? You can't cure the poison you prepared yourself?" Jiang Chenyu was so disappointed. In Baohua Palace, a thick curtain hangs over Xihe's bed, so she cannot be seen. And Jiang Wanyi who was standing beside the bed was still wearing a green shirt, but she was haggard and thinner a lot, no longer the "green shirt and jade face Dongbihou" appearance when he was an envoy to Cheng Guo.But his demeanor became more and more calm, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "When I gave her this poison that day, I said that this medicine has just been prepared and is not very mature. After taking it, the situation varies from person to person. Mrs. Xihe So this kind of festering phenomenon should be related to another kind of poison that she had suffered before. The last time the toxin was still deposited in her blood, and after merging with 'One Dream Thousand Years', it transformed into another kind of poison. It is a kind of poison. This is beyond the scope of what I can save, and time does not allow me to try more..." At this point, he lifted his robe and knelt down, "Caomin has an unfeeling request .”

"Please say." "Mrs. Xihe... is in great pain now. Although her muscles are stiff due to the poison and she cannot see the expression of pain, this festering taste is something that no living person can tolerate. The grass people are incapable and cannot be saved. She, watching her rot bit by bit, really...cannot bear it. So I beg your mother to grant her a death, so that she... can be freed soon." Jiang Wanyi paused intermittently for several times after saying this. This time, it was obviously extremely embarrassing and painful. In fact, Jiang Chenyu he said clearly understood in his heart, but... when he thought of killing Xihe, he felt 110,000 unwilling.

Although Xihe is unconscious at this time and is no different from a dead person, as long as Xihe is still lying in Baohua Palace, it seems that in this deep palace, there is an old acquaintance of hers, and there is another person who witnessed how she was. How to get to this point with bloody comrades in arms. How could she just watch such an important person disappear? ——Especially after she had already lost Ji Ying. Therefore, Jiang Chenyu hesitated again and again, but still shook his head: "No... no. You have to save her! Wan Yi, you must save her!" Jiang Wanyi kowtowed to the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if you really want Madam well, then let her go."

"No! No!" Jiang Chenyu stubbornly jumped up from the table in the outer room, rushed to him, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Senior brother, senior brother, I beg you, don't give up, don't let Xi Is He Si okay? Brother..." She is the empress at the moment, but she calls a grassroots man "senior brother", obviously trying to impress Jiang Wanyi with her old feelings, but after hearing this, Jiang Wanyi's eyes look even more sad: "If I knew today... why bother?" What about at the beginning?" Jiang Chenyu's complexion is slightly pale.That's right, when he left the imperial capital, he tried to persuade her to stop, but she was blinded by hatred and stubbornly wanted to avenge Ji Ying. What made it difficult for him was when he thought that it was Xihe who was lying on the bed and rotting little by little!

It is Xihe, the most beautiful woman in the four countries! It was Xihe who was the son's favorite during his lifetime! It was Xi He who took all the sins and left her a bright future! She couldn't accept this fact.I can't accept anything. "Senior brother! Senior brother..." She grabbed Jiang Wanyi's sleeve and cried, just like she cried while holding Ji Ying when she learned of Ji Ying's condition.The two scenes overlapped in Jiang Wanyi's mind. He sighed deeply when he saw this woman who was not a real brother and sister but had the name of a brother and sister and had experienced many things together.

Jiang Chenyu thought he was being persuaded by herself, so she looked up at him expectantly. But Jiang Wanyi slowly pulled the sleeves out of her hand, and said slowly in a gentle but firm voice: "Madam, Mrs. Xihe is like this, you still can't let go of your selfishness, really Are you really thinking about her?" Jiang Chenyu was shocked: "What, what, what?" Jiang Wanyi turned around and opened the curtain with a swipe: "She's rotting, ma'am, please take a look! She's rotting worse every day than the day before, and the abscesses flowing from her body have soaked the entire bedding , and even began to have mosquitoes and flies crawling on her body... Look, ma'am! If you really liked her, would you be willing to let her body be tortured like this? It's just because she has no consciousness and can't move, so Do you think she won't be in pain—won't be in more pain than you?"

The stench emanating from Xihe's body merged with the smell of medicine in the room, and looking at Xihe on the bed who had almost lost her human form, Jiang Chenyu couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up: "You mean to say that I Deliberately harming her? Deliberately letting her rot and deteriorating her beauty? Jiang Wanyi, you are bold, how dare you speak to Ben Gong like this! You are presumptuous!" Jiang Wanyi looked straight at him, and finally said: "Then please forgive Caomin for his incompetence, and Caomin will resign." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away slowly.

This move was undoubtedly very cruel, especially for Jiang Chenyu at this time, she stood by the bed with her mouth half open, unable to react for a long time. Jiang Wanyi didn't close the door, the wind blew in, Jiang Chenyu turned around suddenly, there was a basin and a towel on the bedside, she took off the towel and soaked it in water, wrung it dry, and then wiped the abscess on Xihe's face , gritted his teeth and said: "Xihe, they all gave up on you, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely never give up on you, they think you are dirty and smelly, it's okay, I will bathe you, I bathe you every day, you You will get better, you will definitely get better... You see, your pulse is still beating, your nose is still breathing, you are clearly still alive, how can you die just like that? That is murder! murder!"

She wiped and wiped desperately, but the pus was rubbing more and more, no matter how much she wiped, she couldn't finish it, and finally her whole face was stained. Jiang Chenyu stared blankly at the face whose facial features had been deformed. , Looking at the black and purple pus on his hand again, the fact that "Xihe is no longer good" was reflected in his brain a little later, the towel fell to the ground with a slap, and Jiang Chenyu covered it with his pus-filled hands Hold his face, then squat down—— Wept bitterly. Why once, twice, so many times, always? The more you want to keep something, the more you can't keep it.You can only watch it disappear.There is no way.What else can I have in my life?What to keep?And such a self who can't keep anything and can't solve anything, even if he gets the world, so what?

Xihe, Xihe, do you know that you are lying here, dead.It's like letting me watch the son die in front of my eyes again! Amidst Jiang Chenyu's cries, a figure slowly walked in from outside the palace.At first she thought it was Jiang Wanyi who had left and returned, so she looked up, only to find that it was Xue Cai. At this moment, Jiang Chenyu forgot that she was the queen of Bi Kingdom, and that she was actually older than the boy in front of her. She just squatted on the ground, raised her head, and cried with helpless eyes. look at him. Xue Cai looked at her condescendingly and silently for a while, with no expression on her plain white face, then, she took a step forward to the side of the bed, looking at Xi He's "spoiled" face that was so horrible, her eyes flashed A touch of very complicated emotions. Jiang Chenyu was still crying. Xue Cai looked back at her quickly, then suddenly pulled a thin blanket from the bed and covered her head. "Don't look," he said. The thin blanket fell on Jiang Chenyu's head, and then slowly slid down. After a moment of darkness, the scene in the room slowly came back into sight—— The curtains blowing constantly by the wind, the gorgeous and soft purple bedding, Xihe lying peacefully on the bed as if she was just asleep... Jiang Chenyu's heart was shocked, and she immediately realized what Xue Cai did at that moment just now. She flew forward and grabbed Xihe's wrist. After a long while, she raised her head stiffly, and saw her own reflection in Xue Cai's eyes . On the seventh day of May in the fifth year of Tubi, Mrs. Xihe passed away. Xue Cai made a decision for the indecisive Jiang Chenyu. At the moment when the blanket covered her sight, he pressed Xi He's Achilles' heel, allowing that beauty who should not have been born because she was too beautiful to finally end her miserable and painful life. After Xihe's death, Jiang Chenyu, who hadn't written for a long time, painted a portrait of her by herself. In the painting, Xihe stands among the apricot blossoms all over the sky, smiling faintly. When she was painting this portrait, Xue Cai stood behind her and watched silently. After a while, he said as if he remembered something: "Jiang Wanyi left. He just left half an hour ago. " Jiang Chenyu let out an "oh". "Aren't you going to see him off this time?" Jiang Chenyu smiled sadly.After such a dispute, how can I have the face to see him again? "Xiao Cai..." She stopped her brush, her voice was low, "Have I changed?" "Ok?" "I think... since I became a queen, no, since I decided to avenge my son, I have changed a little bit. I am used to giving orders to people, I am used to bossing people around, I am used to not being willing to obey A warning from others... I would never talk to my brother like that before. Among the few people in this world I respect, my brother is one of them, but... that day I followed the demon I insisted on forcing him, insisting on embarrassing him, and I lost my temper even if he couldn’t do it... Now that I think about it, I think it’s really scary.” Jiang Chenyu turned around with lingering fear and looked at Xue Cai, “I think I’m so scary, I, how could I have become like this? Mingming, Mingming Xihe has begun to rot, and I still stubbornly refuse to let her die. Brother is right, I... I am too selfish... At that moment, I only thought of I feel so much pain without her, but I never thought that living is the greatest torture for Xihe..." Xue Cai didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, with an incomprehensible indifference in her dark pupils, so it seemed that she was completely indifferent to her pain and confusion. But maybe, such a cold reaction was exactly what Jiang Chenyu wanted, because she actually only wanted to talk, not comfort. "I feel like I'm changing little by little, and I almost don't know myself anymore. I've never harmed anyone in my life, but in the end, I turned Zhaoyin into a living dead and robbed his world...why? Will it be like this? Does power really make people degenerate? I am so scared, I am afraid that when I look in the mirror one day, I will find that the person in the mirror has changed beyond recognition... Is this the so-called growth? Then, what will I grow up to in the end? How far? Xue Cai, I..." Xue Cai interrupted her: "You are just acting like a baby." Jiang Chenyu was stunned: "Acting like a baby?" "You chose this path at the beginning, but now you are afraid of suffering, you want to be lazy, and hope that someone will help you, solve all the things you hate, pave your way, and let you You can walk brilliantly, and you don’t need to stain your hands with blood..." Xue Cai’s childish voice, which has not yet changed, sounds a little frighteningly crisp in such an atmosphere, "It’s like Xi He helped you solve Zhao Yin, It's like I solved Xihe for you... In this way, your conscience will feel a little better, and you can use the excuse of "at least it wasn't my own hands" to paralyze yourself and comfort yourself, and feel that you are still the same as before. A girl in a boudoir who is not familiar with human affairs, has not been eroded by wind and rain, has not been polluted by the outside world, and can continue to look at the world with a naive and tolerant attitude..." Jiang Chenyu was completely stunned, unable to speak a word. "You don't want to become as cold as Zhao Yin, or even countless other emperors, but if you are not cold, you will not be able to achieve great things. This is where you are most troubled. But don't forget, Zhao Yin's demise is precisely from Because of his ruthlessness, the other ruthless emperors may not have the last laugh. Therefore, the key point is not that in order to win, one must become bad, but that no matter good or bad, one must win in the end." When Xue Cai said this, there was a slight change in his indifferent eyes. In order to conceal the change, he turned his back and stopped looking at her, and finished the second half of the sentence in a calm voice: "Jiang Chenyu, will you have the last laugh? Let time tell." If we say, He Yi's consolation is always so warm, like the sunshine in April, warming people's body, and can put all troubles and trifles aside without thinking about them.Then, Xue Cai's consolation is the steel knife, with its icy temperature and sharp edge, to remove the carrion at the fastest speed, so that new flesh can grow back from the wound. Jiang Chenyu didn't know which of the two methods she liked better, but at this moment, she felt from the bottom of her heart——that's great. When the whole world shattered in front of her eyes, and then reorganized into a completely unfamiliar appearance to her, when those people who cared and valued in her life all left her, at least fate left her with these two people. Thank you.. this is really.. wonderful.. Jiang Chenyu lowered his eyes to calm down his disturbed mood, and when he was about to thank Xue Cai, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, or rather, knocked open. The palace man stumbled in, shouting incoherently with panic and ecstasy. Jiang Chenyu didn't mind her rudeness, because she yelled: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The nobleman is about to give birth! It's about to give birth!" Before she finished shouting, Jiang Chenyu rushed out like a gust of wind. Xue Cai frowned, so she had no choice but to run out, and saw Jiang Chenyu running fast from a distance, she didn't even care about her bun being untied, or she didn't notice it at all, just so unpretentious Yandi rushed into the Jianing Palace. Xue Cai stopped, leaned on the railing and took a breath. The expression on his face became serious, as if he had a premonition of something ominous, or as if he saw something he didn't want to happen, and it finally happened... But of course Jiang Chenyu wouldn't notice the change in his expression, she was just infected by the shocking news of "my sister is going to give birth", and she was overjoyed.So when she rushed into the Jianing Palace, what she saw were the palace maids and eunuchs with worried expressions, and the imperial physician with a sad face, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Huai vigilantly: "What's wrong?" Jiang Huai bowed his knees and knelt down: "Go back to your mother, the nobleman has a difficult delivery, I'm afraid... there is a risk of life." These words were like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, pouring her from head to toe, and in an instant, her hands and feet were icy cold.Jiang Chenyu blinked her eyes stiffly, and said in a tight voice: "What did you say? Say it again?" "The nobleman's fetal position is not correct, and the premature force caused panic and timidity, so..." Jiang Chenyu never heard the next words, she took a few steps forward, looked at the shadow reflected inside through the screen and curtain, Huayue moaned weakly, Wen Po anxiously urged, and came in and out The court lady... All these things were intertwined in such a chaotic way that her vision suddenly became blurred. Jiang Chenyu shook a few times, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. Jiang Huai saw her abnormality, stepped forward to support her, and exclaimed: "Ma'am, ma'am, are you alright? You'd better go back to the palace to rest for a while... Your eye disease has flared up again? Come here, get the medicine quickly. " In response to the occasional blurred eyes, Jiang Huai prepared a potion, which came in handy at the moment, and quickly fetched it for her.After drinking the potion, Jiang Chenyu closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair to rest for a while, and when he opened them again, he finally regained clarity. Jiang Huai felt relieved: "It's good that your mother is fine, but don't let anything happen to you..." Jiang Chenyu held his hand: "Prince doctor, please save my sister!" "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister will naturally do his best... However, the current situation is critical, and the fetus is stuck in it for a long time to come out. If the delay continues, I'm afraid... If you can only save one of them, Madam, you choose..." "Master Bao!" "Prince Bao!" The two voices sounded at the same time. After Jiang Chenyu yelled "Master Bao", he heard another voice, turned his head quickly, and saw Jiang Zhong rushing over. Jiang Zhong walked into the hall, and he didn't even have time to take off his cloak, so he ordered Jiang Huai again: "Prince Bao! Doctor Jiang, no matter what method you use, the child must be born safely!" "Father!" Jiang Chenyu exclaimed, "What are you talking about? Are children more important than Huayue?" "Of course it's more important than painting the moon!" Jiang Zhong turned his head to stare at her with a serious expression, and said word by word, "The child is a phoenix-born dragon, the only blood of the current emperor, and the future heir of Tubi Jiangshan. He is much more important than Huayue!" Jiang Chenyu knew her father was cold-blooded, but he would come to meddle at such a time, which is really chilling, but the situation was critical, and she had no intention of arguing with her, so she turned around and ordered Jiang Huai: "Aijia It's the queen, follow the orders of the Ai family—Lord Bao!" "I am the head of the country, follow my orders - the prince!" "Master Bao!" "Prince Bao!" "Father!" Jiang Chenyu finally couldn't bear it, and shouted sharply, "Even if you don't take Huayue as your daughter, she will always be my dearest sister!" "I'm for you! Chen Yu!" Jiang Zhong grabbed her hand and said anxiously, "You have only been in the palace for a short time, and it is your good fortune to become the Queen of the Kingdom of Bi at such an age, but Now that the emperor is sick like that, and you have no heirs to rely on, of course you can listen to the government now, but what about in the future? If something happens to the emperor, what will you do? Chen Yu! This child is not only very important to the country of Bi It's important, and it's even more important to you!" Jiang Chenyu's heart was beating wildly. In fact, she didn't know what her father said. Although she could do whatever she wanted by relying on Zhaoyin's transformation into a living dead, it was not a long-term solution after all. Xihe's death proved that kind of After all, poison will kill people. Once Zhao Yin dies, her status as queen will also be lost. Therefore, if there is a child by her side, everything will be solved easily.But...but... "But father... There are countless possibilities and opportunities for my future. Let me use other methods to make up and save it, but Huayue... only one..." That's why she insisted on protecting the adults. Not to mention that Zhao Yin is not dead yet, even if he dies suddenly one day, it depends on man-made, she does not believe that with her ability and power, she will not be able to control the current situation, and she must leave the scene sadly. But if Huayue died here, she would be gone completely. She has watched so many people go away, those people have no choice, but this one, she can choose, she must fight for it! "Lord Bao!" She gave Jiang Huai her final order. After Jiang Huai glanced at Jiang Zhong, who looked ashen but didn't speak any more, he turned around and entered the delivery room. The ensuing hours turned into an outright torture. Huayue's groans were intermittent, so weak that it seemed that she would not be able to utter any more in the next moment, and the maids came in and out more frequently, the whole scene seemed very chaotic, which made people even more chaotic. In this way, after two full hours passed, a baby's cry announced the end of everything. Jiang Huai came out with his head covered in sweat and his clothes wet, and said in a trembling voice, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life..." Jiang Chenyu and Jiang Zhong said in unison: "Is it an adult or a child?" "Returning to the empress and the father-in-law, you gave birth to a prince, and the mother and child are safe." Jiang Chenyu suddenly felt his whole body collapsed, his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the chair. Crystal tears fell happily from the sockets of her eyes. It turned out that this time, God did not treat her cruelly again. so good... sister... so good... Half an hour later, the maids cleaned up the delivery room and led Jiang Chenyu into it.When she saw Jiang Huayue who was clearly "alive" on the bed, although her face was paper-like, Jiang Chenyu laughed sincerely from her heart, and whispered: "Sister..." Before he could say some words of congratulations, Jiang Huayue trembled. Stretching out her hand tremblingly, she hurried forward to hold it, and sat on the edge of the bed. Jiang Huayue, who was obviously very weak and had difficulty even making a sound, suddenly sat up and hugged her tightly with the strength she didn't know where it came from. Jiang Chenyu was stunned: "Sister?" "Chen Yu..." Jiang Huayue said in a very soft voice, "Thank you." "elder sister……" "Thank you! Chen Yu, thank you! Thank you! Thank you..." Jiang Huayue said thank you several times in a row, each time getting louder, and at the end, it was almost like shouting, "I... heard... thank you... " She... heard it. Although I don't know why Huayue could hear the dispute between herself and her father at such a critical juncture, but there is no doubt that this dispute made Huayue finally change back to the older sister she was familiar with.The sister who likes her, loves her, and thinks of her everywhere. Everything turns out to be back to square one. Return to the most desired state. When Jiang Chenyu came out from the Jianing Palace again, it was already the hour of the night. The stars are thin, the moon is light, the wind is clear at night, perhaps because of the joyful mood, the scenery in the palace looks extraordinarily beautiful.She took a deep breath, rubbed her sore wrists, and just wanted to go back to the bedroom, but outside the Jianing Palace, she saw Xue Cai. Xue Cai stood under a cypress tree by the road, as if he had been standing for a long time. "Why are you here?" Jiang Chenyu was a little surprised, "Aren't you going home?" It's so late. Xue Cai still looked at her expressionlessly as before.Ordinary people look at each other, usually because they are about to speak.But he is good, and people look at each other, in order to let the other party speak actively. However, Jiang Chenyu is already used to this, and if he didn't answer, she chose another topic on her own: "By the way, my sister gave birth to a boy..." "I see." Xue Cai interrupted her. That's right, he should have known the news after waiting outside for so long. "I thought of a name for the child. It's called Xinye, which means reforming the past and renewing the old, and fertile fields for thousands of miles. What do you think? As the prince of the Bi Kingdom, I hope he can lead the Bi Kingdom to become more prosperous in the future..." Xue Cai frowned: "Prince?" "Of course. I've already asked people to choose auspicious days..." Compared with Jiang Chenyu's high spirits, Xue Cai seemed more serious. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at Jiang Chen who was talking vigorously. Fish finally chose silence. "...In short, it must be done in a splendid and lively way!" Jiang Chenyu finally finished describing the longing in his heart, seeing that Xue Cai still looked like he had nothing to do with himself, a little bored, so he had to change the topic again, "Why don't you go home?" Xue Cai said lightly: "I don't want to go back." Jiang Chenyu realized that he asked a question that shouldn't be asked, and immediately fell silent. Before Ji Ying died, in addition to leaving part of his power to Xue Cai, he also gave Xue Cai his mansion.Today's Xue Cai lives in Qiaohou Mansion.Seeing things and thinking about people, a Ji Mansion without Ji Ying is just a place to eat and sleep to him, right? "Xue Cai, one day you will get what you want." Jiang Chenyu stared at his face and said sincerely, "Trust me." Xue Cai did not respond to her words. Jiang Chenyu raised her head, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and said slowly: "Just a few hours ago, I was still complaining to you, complaining that fate was harsh to me, I was so wronged and felt it was unfair. But what you said Yes, the reason why I am wronged and unfair is because I am greedy. I want something, but I refuse to pay the corresponding price. So I act like a baby, I escape, and I always hurt the people around me. If it was not for saving me If I am willing to be straightforward, Xihe will not have to be buried with me to achieve my goal; if I can endure the pain, I should let Xihe go earlier... All of this is because of me If I didn’t do it well, I would not give myself. But just now, when my sister had a difficult labor and Doctor Jiang asked me if I wanted the child or my sister, I realized..." Her gaze suddenly became hot, and she turned her head to look at Xue Cai, her eyes sparkling. "Xiao Cai, I understand! My father told me how important Xinye is to me, and it can make my future road very smooth. But why do I have to be flat? If you encounter problems, just Face it bravely, and find ways to deal with it; if you are afraid of the emperor’s death, then search for strange ways to prevent him from dying; Have you come here step by step with hard work? Anyway, it won’t be worse than it is now, so you have to look forward to a better tomorrow—I understand.” A soft expression finally appeared on Xue Cai's gloomy face. He raised the corners of his lips, as if he wanted to laugh, but his eyes were still deep. Jiang Chenyu smiled a step ahead of him, and said in a low voice: "So, you don't have to worry about the bad influence Xinye's birth will have on me. If you are worried that some officials will use him as a fuss to threaten me In terms of status, then find out those courtiers and eradicate them; if you are worried that Xinye will hate me when he learns the truth about his father, then guide him since he was a child... No matter what you are worried about, face it and challenge it , to crush it—it’s all man-made.” Xue Cai finally smiled, his eyes flickered, his facial features with red lips, white teeth, sword eyebrows and stars were indescribably beautiful. Jiang Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "When a child like you grows up, I don't know how many girls should be sad..." Xue Cai's smile sank instantly, and she glared at her: "That has nothing to do with you." "I'm worried." "You worry about yourself first." "I have nothing to worry about. I'm already married." "What is there to be proud of being a living widow?" "Although this is the truth, if you say it so bluntly, it will make me suddenly feel that my life is very unfortunate..." "You are unlucky!" "But I'm very lucky today. God heard my request and saved my sister and my little nephew..." "You're getting bored to death!" "I don't know as much as a child..." "Humph." "Humph……" On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month in the fifth year of Tubi, Jiang Guiren gave birth to Lin'er. After great joy, he personally bestowed the name Xinye and canonized him as the crown prince.Amnesty for the whole world, the whole country celebrates together. There is a word in this world, called "Heaven, Human Affairs". The way of heaven and personnel cannot be violated, which means the general trend. When I saw it in the past, I just remembered it as an ordinary idiom, and when I understood it, I left it behind.There are many idioms in the world, but there are very few idioms that people can really experience in their lives. But when Jiang Chenyu saw the request for a dictionary signed by "Jiang Zhong", the first word that came to his mind was - heaven, human affairs. After Huayue finally gave birth to Xinye and the mother and child were safe, another difficult matter that had troubled her for a long time was automatically solved in front of her, and it no longer existed. But compared to Huayue, in fact, Jiang Zhong is her knot.Because, for Jiang Huayue, Jiang Chenyu only had pity and cherishment, no matter how much Huayue envied her and resented her, it was all Huayue's unilateral feelings, Jiang Zhong was different.Jiang Chenyu has very complicated feelings for the father who raised her, raised her, cultivated her, devoted countless efforts to her and placed great hopes on her. On the one hand, she loathes his personality, as the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, since she, Jiang Chenyu, refuses to follow blindly, it is doomed that they are not fellow travelers. But on the other hand, close relatives of flesh and blood, after all, do not break up when they say they break up, and they can part ways when they say they want to part ways. Therefore, how to deal with her father has become the most troublesome thing for her.Although she also said that everything should be handled fairly, it is very difficult to actually do it, not to mention that some things cannot be completely passed after they happen—for example, Du Juan. After returning to the city, although Jiang Zhong found an opportunity to call Wei Yuheng back to the imperial capital, and Du Juan also came back with him, Jiang Zhong did not recognize this daughter after all, and Du Juan's identity was still not recognized.Originally, Jiang Chenyu was worried about this for a while, but when she went to Weifu to visit Du Juan, she found that Du Juan, who was the person involved, was thinking very openly. The reason was—— "If one more person knows about such a painful thing, one more person will suffer. I am already very unfortunate, but at least I can avoid this kind of misfortune for my mother who has always been kept in the dark and has no fault. Therefore, I I don’t know how to recognize my ancestors, and I don’t even bother to recognize my ancestors.” "So, what are you going to do in the future? Will it continue like this forever?" Du Juan looked at her with a pair of dull eyes, and finally smiled softly: "I will not stop revenge. I am here, not going anywhere, and then, I will look for every possible opportunity to bring down Jiang Zhong. Even if If I can’t take revenge, I will disgust him, make him feel guilty, give him a headache, and let him always remember—how despicable things he has done.” That is the choice of the cuckoo. Jiang Chenyu felt that she was not telling the truth, but if she asked again, she couldn't find out why, so she had to give up.Perhaps Du Juan's feelings for his father are more complicated than his own. Now, Jiang Chenyu was holding this booklet under the lamp, read it for a long time, finally raised his head, and ordered: "Xuan Youxiang." Luo Heng immediately went out to announce the decree: "The empress announces that the right minister will have an audience." After a while, Jiang Zhong walked into the study slowly: "The old minister sees the queen, a thousand years old." "Prime Minister, can you explain the reason for your resignation?" Jiang Chenyu handed the paper back to him. Jiang Zhong didn't reach out to take it, but still bowed his body and said: "Everything is as stated in the book." "The prime minister is in his prime of life, and it is a good time to serve the country. How come he is tired of disputes and wants to retire?" Jiang Zhong raised his head and stared at her. After a while, he smiled softly: "The queen is suspicious of the old minister? The queen thinks that the old minister is retreating in order to advance? Or is there another plan?" Jiang Chenyu didn't speak, but his eyes became deeper and deeper. Jiang Zhong smiled, with a lonely expression on his face, and sighed: "Queen, can you push back the others?" Jiang Chenyu pondered for a while, and ordered: "I have something to say to Prime Minister Right, you all stand down." The palace people retreated in response.The huge study room instantly became deserted.The light of the palace lanterns was not as bright as usual. When one looked at it, one could only feel that there were shadows everywhere. But in the heavy shadows, Jiang Zhong's tall and thin body looked a little stooped, and when he looked closely, there were some silver threads on his temples. Father is getting old... Jiang Chenyu suddenly discovered that during the time when she was staring at him coldly, her father was aging rapidly, it was only a year, and he seemed to be ten years older. "Chen Yu..." Under her silent sizing, Jiang Zhong said slowly, "Your mother...is about to die." "What?" Jiang Chenyu stood up in shock. "Don't worry, sit down and listen to me slowly." Jiang Chenyu sat back slowly, and couldn't help covering her chest with one hand, sensing her heart beating wildly uncontrollably. "Your mother's health has never been very good. Since last year, she has often felt headaches, but she can take a rest for a while, so she didn't take it too seriously. But last month, she had a headache again and fell into a coma. I He asked a famous doctor in the capital to treat her, and they all said that her head wind disease was already very serious, and she needed to drink Mabo soup first, and then use a sharp ax to cut the head and take out the wind saliva to cure her. But this prescription is extremely risky, and there is a slight difference. Die. So, your mother refused to heal anyway." "Why did you say such an important thing now?" Jiang Chenyu stood up again. Jiang Zhong smiled, with bitterness, embarrassment, emotion, and tolerance in his smile: "When you first came to power, your foundation was unstable, and there were many opportunities to manage every day. Your mother was afraid that you would be distracted, so she refused to let me tell you." Is it... my fault again? During this period of time, she had too many things, too many decisions, too many actions... But, so many things, so many decisions, so many actions, but none of them were related to her mother. In other words, she took care of herself, her sister, her sweetheart and even the world, but she ignored her mother alone. oh my god... my god... my god... This blow was really not small, it made Jiang Chenyu's body tremble all of a sudden, and he had to press down on the desk to support himself to barely stand. Tears flickered in Jiang Zhong's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Chen Yu, your father and I are indeed not a good person. I have been obsessed with power all my life, and even sacrificed my own daughter for the benefit of the whole family, but... I really...挚爱你的母亲。权势可以说，比我的一切都要重要；但你母亲……却是我的生命本身。你能理解吗？” 姜沉鱼拼命点头。的确，父亲一生做错了太多太多事情，但唯独对母亲，却是专一深情。 “所以……我们都做错了，不是吗？若早知你母亲大限将至，最多只能再活三年，我之前训练什么死士铲除什么异己玩弄什么权术争夺什么利益？花大把大把的时间在那些无用的事情之上，而没有好好地在家多陪陪她，还与自己的女儿怄气，弄得你母亲夹在你我之间左右为难，平添许多白头发……” 姜沉鱼的眼泪一下子流了下来，羞愧地捂住自己的脸。 “所以，我决定放下一切，剩余三年都陪在你母亲身边。她生平最引以为憾的事情就是碍于身份的缘故始终大门不出二门不迈，没能游遍天下名山，尝尽天下美食。我决定在未来的三年里，把她这个遗憾一一补上。” 姜沉鱼颤声道：“父亲……你要出门？” "Ok." “你……要带母亲一起走？一走就是三年？”姜沉鱼急了，“父亲你把母亲带走了，那我、我怎么办？” “我们会偶尔回来看你们的。” "But……" 姜仲打断她：“沉鱼，你……不是小孩子了。” 姜沉鱼一震。 姜仲凝望着她，声音温柔而哀伤：“你身上，穿的是皇后的凤袍；你桌上，搁的是图璧的玉玺……你，不是小孩子了。” “所以，我就没有陪在母亲身边的权力了么？”姜沉鱼流着眼泪问。 “沉鱼，让你母亲开心点吧。她，已经守了你十五年了，不是么？” 姜沉鱼的心沉了下去。伴随着深深哀痛一起来至心头的，是熟悉的厌恶——对自己的厌恶——她……又开始自私了…… 永远只先考虑自己的感受，所以，当父亲说要带母亲外出游玩时，第一反应就是不行，那样自己岂非就见不到母亲了？却没有站在母亲的立场想一想：她盼望能出去玩，可是盼了整整一辈子啊…… 连父亲，那个对权势在乎到可以牺牲自己女儿、无视骨肉幸福的父亲，都肯为了母亲而放下苦心经营了一辈子的权力，难道自己，号称最乖巧最孝顺最让母亲放心从来没惹她生过一次气的自己，还不如父亲么？ 姜沉鱼咬住下唇，看着面前一丈远的父亲，什么话也没有说，只是拿起书案上的玉玺，缓缓地、沉重地盖在了奏折之上。 尘埃落定。 王印鲜红如斯。 图璧六年秋，右相告老，请辞还乡。后泣允之。 越日，新相诞生，是谓冰璃公子——薛采也。
