Chapter 126 Bad News
"Let's tell you the truth. Before Yu'er set out, Ai's house looked for her. In fact, she wanted to exchange the position of queen and even the future queen to let her wholeheartedly assist you fight the country. Unexpectedly, she refused Aijia. Tong'er used to belong to someone else's things, whether it was clean or not. More or less, her heart will always leave traces of others. Although I understand that you are thinking about her with one heart, there is a Yuancan between you two, and can she share the same heart with you?
After stopping, the Empress Dowager Wei continued, "If two people don't go the same way, there will always be fate to break up. Tonger, you should have really planned for yourself earlier. For so many years, is there no woman in the world who can be your queen of Wei except Changsun Huanxuan? Now the vision of my family is getting more and more blurred. The bones of the Ai family are also getting older and older. Do you want to ask the Ai family to guard the deserted palace and watch the guard palace without a successor and die?
"Queen Mother!" Zhuo Ruitong took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions. The mother's words were basically a ciche. Even when Ning Tanger was still alive, the Empress Dowager Wei would remind him from time to time. Of course, the Empress Dowager Wei did not mean to let him establish Ning Tanger as the queen, but intended to let him find a rich and businessman. Jin, however, this time is different from the past. What the Empress Dowager Wei just said obviously showed her dissatisfaction with Huanxuan. Perhaps from the beginning, the Empress Dowager Wei did not approve of him making a decision without authorization and secretly brought Huanxuan to Weijun.
"I don't know how to explain to my mother for a while," Zhuo Ruitong tried to say in a peaceful tone, "It's the same sentence. My son has grown up now. Whether it's about state affairs or family affairs, I can naturally know what to do and what not to do. When I said this, it's not to blame my mother. I just want to ask my mother to believe in my son. Give my son some time, and he will definitely have something to tell his mother, okay?"
"Alas, hasn't my family given you time yet? In the forty-five years of Weijun, you have grown up. Even an ordinary man has already become a pair of children under his knees, but you..."
"I know my mother!" Zhuo Ruitong smiled and held one of the hands of the Empress Dowager Wei. "The mother doesn't have to worry too much about her son. On the contrary, the mother should take care of her health and take good care of her, so that she can do things without worries. In the future, the good days that belong to our mother and son will still grow old. After that, the mother will be annoyed by her son's behavior, she has to give her son a good filial piety. Thank you for your opportunity, right?
"Forget it!" The Empress Dowager Wei felt the warmth of her son's palm and said softly, "I know that I can't persuade you. Since childhood, you have always been wayward and even your father has nothing to do with you, but since you were a child, besides your mother, who has really cared about you and loved you? Once the mother is no longer alive, you are alone. How much sinister do you have to face? The mother doesn't ask for anything else. I just hope you can think more about yourself and know how to take care of yourself!"
"Well, I wrote it down!" Zhuo Ruitong thought for a moment and said, "In fact, my son can't be so desolate. Compared with Zhuo Luan's mother and son, we at least live together safely. Compared with Yuan Can and Yuan Le, at least my mother is worried about my son now. In any way, my son is many times more fortunate than them!"
"Alas, this is the sadness of being born in the royal family," the Empress Dowager Wei sighed, "So the mother prayed for Buddha day and night, and asked God to bless you to get through the crisis smoothly. You also have to fight for yourself. Don't let the mother's years of painstaking efforts in vain!"
"No!" Zhuo Ruitong clenched the hand of the Empress Dowager Wei and said firmly, "For the sake of my mother, I have to fight for our future in this troubled world!"
Leaving the clean room, Zhuo Ruitong decided to mention Ji Yu Guang in person. Even if he is not completely relieved about Ji Yu Guang, this is also an opportunity. His mother's kindness and power later may make Ji Yu Guang have no more attention to their mother and son. After all, Ji Yu Guang is highly experienced in medicine, and it coincides with frequent wars. A lot.
Zhuo Ruitong finally understood why Huanying left Baimeiyu's hairpin. Was her refusal for Yuancan, or did she disgust her in exchange for the queen? Zhuo Ruitong would rather believe that it is the latter. He knows Huanxuan. Like Changsun Taishiling, she is also easy-going on the surface and her first acquaintance is quite weak, but she is very tough and stubborn in her bones. This is what he admires her most, because if it were him, he would never like who uses power to control his choice, even if both sides The goal is the same, and the purity of the choice also involves the dignity of a person.
Of course, if Huanxuan is for Yuan Can, he can't blame her at all. God made a big joke on the three of them, so that they are destined to be entangled with each other. Unless he and Yuancan are not alive, I'm afraid it's rare to be relieved in this life. The only comforting thing is that Huanxuan seems to finally Walking out of the shadow of the past and intending to start a new life, Zhuo Ruitong even has a little hope. It would be great if Yuan Can has been disappearing like this, at least not in the critical period when his relationship with Huanxuan has just progressed.
The idea was fleeting. Zhuo Ruitong quickly came to his senses and blame himself. God, what was he was thinking about? That was his fourth brother. The fourth brother must be in a difficult situation now. If he didn't find it quickly, there would be a risk of his life. How could he hope that the fourth brother would not be found for his own selfishness?
Zhuo Ruitong clenched his fist and beat his head fiercely. While blaming himself, he accelerated his pace to the gate of the palace. Looking at his master's strange behavior, he was suspicious and tightened a few steps. "Lord, Dr. Tiji is not in a hurry for a moment. Go slowly and wait for me to drive the carriage first. , is it possible?
Zhuo Ruitong waved his hand and signaled Mei to go quickly. Mei Zheng hurriedly trotted forward to set the car. However, as soon as the two of them got into the carriage, they were about to raise their whips, and saw a fast horse running straight towards the Wei Palace. From a distance, the clothes were just short jackets for ordinary people, but it was clear that ordinary people could never have such a thing. Fast horse, it is impossible to guard the palace so rashly.
"What's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Zhuo Ruitong urged to touch the driving curtain, and then saw the fast horse. Somehow, his eyelids suddenly jumped several times, and a bad premonition hit his heart, the people of Mingsha camp!
To be precise, it is the person who is responsible for the transmission of messages in Mingsha Camp who stay at the stronghold in the city. Although the nails in the Wei Palace were pulled out one by one, the existence of the Mingsha Camp did not need to be covered up, but considering the concealment of the stronghold in the city, generally, if there was no emergency information, they were scrambling to collect the information of the day before the evening, but it was not noon at this time. The people of the Mingsha Camp ran to it in person for the first time in violation of the routine. What happened to the messenger in the palace?
The fast horse ran to him. The man turned over and got off the horse. He bowed to Zhuo Ruitong and said, "Lord, the people who went to search for the fourth brother of the Lord, a team sent back the message, saying that Mr. Qi Kang's lonely tomb had been found!"
"What!" Zhuo Ruitong stared in shock, and his hands and feet were cold. "Who, whose grave?"
"Mr. Qi Kang, this is how engraved on the simple tombstone!" The people replied, "But I don't know if the people in the grave are the Taifu of the Lord or the same name and surname. They don't dare to act rashly. Please show me!"
Zhuo Ruitong's brain was blank. For a moment, he didn't know what to ask. He instinctively wanted to get out of the car. Mei Zheng hurriedly turned around and helped him, but when Zhuo Ruitong's feet landed, he still staggered and almost fell down. "Lord, are you all right?" Mei Zheng asked with concern and held Zhuo Ruitong tightly.
Zhuo Ruitong shook his hand weakly and pushed away the scramble. He staggered for a long time before saying, "Where did you find it? Is there a trace of my fourth brother nearby?"
"To the Lord, it was found in the wilderness more than a hundred miles away from General Lan's death. There was only a wild hut of a dove man who had lived alone for many years. According to him, nearly a month ago, two lost people broke into his wild hut. Among them, the elder, the 'Mr. Qi' in the grave, was already seriously ill. When At night, he probably died before dawn. It was he and another young man who buried Mr. Qi together. Later, the young man ignored his retention and did not know where to go. He only left a horse for him. Now the horse is still in his shed." The reporter tried to describe the situation in detail. .
"Where will he go? Mr.'s death must have been a great blow to him, right?" Zhuo Ruitong muttered to himself, stopped for a long time, and raised his voice and asked, "Have you asked the nearest town to that place?"
"I have asked the Lord, but the people in the town say that they are remote towns. There are only more than 40 households in the whole town, and there is only a narrow street. From the entrance of the town to the end of the town, they can't even use a piece of incense. They haven't seen any strangers pass by for many years, let alone a Handsome young descendants.
"How is that possible?" Zhuo Ruitong couldn't help saying angrily, "In the wilderness of the four suburbs, do you mean that the king's fourth brother disappeared out of thin air?"
The messenger was stunned, "Lord, this is the situation they inquired about. However, according to the young man named Song Dahu, when the young man left his wild shed, it was late. He was worried that something would happen to the young man and tried to retain him, but the young man refused him and insisted on leaving. Song Dahu It will take nearly three hours to walk from the wild shed to the town. The subordinates estimate whether it was already late at night when the fourth brother of the Lord arrived in the town, and he did not stay much, so the people in the town did not see him?
Zhuo Ruitong twitched all over his body when he heard the words, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in his chest for no reason. He couldn't help pattinging his chest with one palm. At the same time, he clenched the sting, and stepped back a few steps and fell down next to the car. He was speechless for a long time.
