Chapter 42 The End of Power
The court ordered the minister to make a comprehensive rectification, and he did not go to the court for nearly nine days. In the early morning, the cloud bodyguard stood next to the dragon case, and the generals and ministers were talking about it.
"The emperor is infected with a bad disease. At present, he is not awake. The regent can't return to Beijing in time, and the country can't be ownerless for a day, so please discuss who is capable of this government to shoulder this heavy responsibility!"
As soon as the cloud bodyguard said, His Highness was as noisy as a hot pot, and soon became quiet again. At this time, one person spoke first.
"I think there is no one else to be responsible except the King of Qingyang." A civil official with a slightly aging face but still in spirit bowed gently and said slowly.
"If the King of Qingyang hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid the court would have suffered."
"I also think there is no second candidate except the King of Qingyang."
The people in the hall talked one after another. Seeing this, Zhong Qingquan took a step forward slowly to stop other people's comments, but there was some recognition in his eyes, "Let's listen to what the emperor said."
As soon as he finished his words, Qingning wore a red robe, and her eyes were silent. After shaking the bead curtain, she slowly sat down. Her charming red lips were gently raised, and the jade seal beside her hand was quietly released. "The emperor mentioned a few months ago that if he had no time to deal with the government, all the important affairs of the government would be handled by the King of Qingyang. Now the emperor is in a coma. If you don't wake up, please ask the king of Qingyang to take charge of the government for the time being, and it's not too late for the emperor to take over when he wakes up.
As soon as she finished her words, the voices of discussion in the Xuanzheng Hall came one after another. Zhong Qingquan stared at the looming eyes behind the bead curtain, and his narrow eyes seemed to be stained with her indifference, with a gentle smile, and gradually relieved.
"Who are you?" A voice remembered, as if asking everyone's doubts. Only Zhong Qingquan knew that she seemed to be Qingning.
"This palace is the queen of Qingyan, Mo Ning." Her voice was as gloomy as ever, and her firm eyes were sad. In these nine days, there was no day when she was not suffering. She didn't know that there were still a few days before her man would wake up.
Finally, she was not his Qingning, but his Mo Ning. Zhong Qingquan listened, slowly raised his head and smiled indifferently.
Hearing this answer, none of the people in the Xuanzheng Hall were not suspicious. They thought that the queen disappeared that year. It had been four years, but now it suddenly appeared again. Although it was a little abrupt, some people couldn't help but believe it when they heard this sound.
"I took the order, I hope the emperor's dragon body will recover as soon as possible, and the empress will be thousands of years old..." Zhong Qingquan's voice sounded first, and he knelt on the ground on his knees. Now, she is the first person to kneel down.
"The queen is thousands of years old, thousands of years..." On the court, everyone knelt down after Zhong Qingquan said this and willingly knelt down in front of the emperor.
The cloud bodyguard picked up the jade seal behind the bead curtain, and the bead curtain swayed. The eyes of the two finally met, looked at each other and smiled, and there was no more affection.
Zhong Qingquan took over the jade seal with both hands. Maybe this jade seal will control himself for the rest of his life. But he recognized it all. He stood up, held the jade seal in his hand, and slowly walked up the nine steps. Although it was just nine steps, he still walked for a long time. Finally, he stood in front of the dragon case, held the jade seal to his eyebrows, and closed his eyes tightly. This scene was five years late.
"Qingyang Wang Qiansui Qiansui Qiansui Qiansui..." Everyone said in unison, bowing their heads respectfully, and no one even saw the sadness and reluctance in his eyes.
Accepting the worship of civil and military officials, he just glanced gently at the woman behind the bead curtain beside him. He knew that the woman would never belong to him again, but would never belong to him.
Mo Ning's eyes were calm and she didn't say anything more. She slowly got up and walked out silently. Her heart was very small. Maybe she couldn't install a man other than her in her life. If there was a next life, would she choose again?
It's not that she doesn't love, but she feels different. She can't live without Zhong Xuanyu in her world, but she can leave Zhong Qingquan. Maybe he will always be her Qingquan brother.
She has been living in the Yangxin Hall for the past few days. Because the Fengluan Hall was burned, no one repaired it. As soon as she stepped into the Yangxin Hall, she saw a back. She was first shocked, and then became calm, "Jing'er, are you waiting for me?"
Mo Jing turned his head when he heard the words. He became thin. Even if he kept a smile, he looked so desolate. Even the exquisite jar in his arms couldn't help but evoke the pain in Mo Ning's heart. "Jing'er, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of Nuanyu."
Mo Jing shook his head gently and tightened the jar in his arms. "Sister, Jing'er is here for you this time."
"Where are you going?" Hearing what she said, Mo Ning couldn't help but panic, "Is the prime minister ready?"
"Well, I gave them some money to ask them to go back to their hometown. There are only a few elderly housekeepers downstairs looking at the house, and there will be people who will clean it up from time to time. I'm afraid that my sister will be unhappy when I see such a silent prime minister's house when she comes home, so it's better to clean it regularly. Sister Qing also I will come to my home from time to time, so I have arranged everything properly. Today, I will leave here with Nuan Yu. I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future.
A sentence can never be seen again, which evokes the sadness in Qingning's heart. The last thing she wants to hear is this sentence. She can't help but think of the past. At that time, the three of them were together every day, smiling happily. It's not like now. Even if they smile, they are not happy. "Jinger, do you hate me?"
"Sister, how can you think so? How can I hate you? I don't want to be separated from my sister. However, I have already promised that when I come back, I will find a quiet place with warm jade. My sister has taught me since I was a child that it's hard to catch up. How can I lose my words?"
Mo Ning nodded gently and was reluctant to look at Mo Jing. He gently kept Nuan Yu's waist and tightly at the same time. "Good Jinger, I understand that you are in pain now, but you are a boy. If you want to go, you can go. My sister won't keep you, just take good care of Nuan Yu for my sister.
In this familiar embrace, Mo Jing listened to her soft voice. He resisted tears, and the strength of the past disappeared in this arms, "Sister."
"Ye-huh."
"Jinger is so tired. Jinger regrets coming to this palace. Jinger regrets not showing her heart to Nuanyu earlier. Jinger regrets that she has done too much regret. Now she wants to make up for it, but she finds that it's too late. Sister, I really want to leave. At the ends of the earth, deep mountains and forests, by the mountains and lakes, there will finally be my place to settle down."
"Jing'er, remember my sister's words. My life is very short, but my life is very long. My sister will always wait for my Jing'er to come home, and she will always be."
Mo Jing listened and nodded gently. Even if everything changed, his sister has never changed...
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Zhong Qingquan didn't close his eyes for almost three days. He finally finished dealing with the long-standing backlog. When he raised his eyes, he saw Mo Ning standing in front of his eyes.
"At the time of that tribute, I knew that from the time he and I grabbed the throne, he knew that there must be trouble from the rest of the previous dynasty. He removed all the obstacles for me. After I knew it, there was no reason not to help, but I had to give up you, and he also blocked his life at the same time. If I really planned to rebel, he would not pay back. With the power of his hand, as a result, he still won the bet. Zhong Qingquan took a sip of tea and said easily. I don't know why he started. He saw Mo Ning again, and his heart was already relaxed. Maybe it was her Qingyan Emperor, Mo Ning, who made him completely relieved.
"But you didn't expect that Ning Ye would be so crazy and come up with such a bad idea?" Mo Ning said lightly, and his eyes never had a trace of color. Zhong Yu alone has been bearing such a heavy burden. What kind of courage is it that he would rather be misunderstood by the world than push others into danger. Perhaps, only such a man is worthy of her.
"It was unexpected. Even Ningcheng's ambition was a little unexpected. At first, he thought that that person would sneak into the court, but he didn't expect that he was an eunuch beside you." Zhong Qingquan's tone was gentle, and the winter wind was extremely penetrating, and he felt a little gentle.
"When will he wake up?" Mo Ning thought and looked at the clouds in the sky. She and Zhong Qingquan sat by the pond in the imperial garden. They have been so unrestrained since they were young. Whether they get dirty or not, they will always sit down without scruples, even this time, no exception.
"Do you know that he chose your sister Mo Qing to protect you. However, he can't escape the joke of fate. You came to this palace for Mo Qing. The first time he saw you, he was happy but painful. He was afraid that he could not protect you, and he was afraid that you would regret choosing this place. Can you understand? How painful his first choice was that day. Although he didn't say anything, I could see that I helped him not because he was my third brother, but because of you. On that day, I drank poisoned wine. Thanks to the antidote left by Hua Fang when he left, the momentum was also a countermeasure that had already been discussed. First, Mo Jing, then me, first Later fraud disrupted everything, but I didn't expect that Nuan Yu would become like this. He just wants a peaceful world, and then fulfill his promise to you, take you out of here, and take you to the elegant valley that belongs to you.
Hearing what he said, Mo Ning smiled gently. She once thought that Zhong Xuanyu liked her sister. She looked sideways at Zhong Qingquan and shook her head gently. "Brother Qingquan, thank you for telling me this, but I didn't see my sister's last look at my sister. I always apologize for the warm jade.
"It's not your fault. Why do you say that?"
As soon as Zhong Qingquan finished his words, Xiaoyu ran towards Mo Ning in a hurry and shouted, "Empress, Your Majesty, he is awake, and all the imperial doctors have arrived!"
She finally waited. Mo Ning stood up in a hurry and walked in the direction of Xiaoyu.
"Ning'er." Zhong Qingquan suddenly called her. She stopped and looked back at him, "I'll wait for you."
I didn't know what he was talking about. He nodded gently and left in a hurry.
Zhong Qingquan looked at her back and finally looked away. He could no longer expect that this woman would return to his side. He could only wait. In the next life, I will love you twice as much. Without Zhong Xuanyu, there is no nameless? There is nothing to cheat, only you and me.
