MTL - To Hold One’s Joy-Chapter 541 1 day outside the episode is fair
Chapter 541 Fanwai 1 day is fair
It's winter.
This is Luo Sheng's first winter in Kaiyang Palace.
It has been snowing since the morning, and the snow foam is profuse, gradually covering everything with white.
Wei Han put on a big cloak, kissed Luo Sheng on the cheek: "I'm going out."
"Put up your umbrella and be careful of slippery roads." Luo Sheng raised his hand to straighten his laces, and told him softly.
Wei Han nodded with a smile: "Understood. I'll be back when I finish my work. Let's eat sauerkraut and white meat pot tonight."
"Okay, it happens that the sauerkraut that Xiugu made a few days ago is ready to eat."
Wei Han got the right words, Qingjun's brows and eyes were full of smiles, and he pecked Luo Sheng's lips again before striding out.
Luo Sheng walked to the window, watching the man in the black cloak leave, with a smile unconsciously on his lips.
The snow outside the window was even bigger, from snow scum to light goose feathers, flying with the cold wind.
Luo Sheng was just about to leave the window when he saw the dark figure that had left his sight not long ago come back.
Why are you back?
Luo Sheng greeted him with doubts.
The door curtain was thrown open, and the cold air rushed in.
Wei Han hurriedly put down the curtain.
"Why are you back?" Luo Sheng asked.
Wei Han looked at her and was silent for a moment: "Shi Yan is back."
Hearing this, Luo Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best to maintain his composure and said, "Call him in, I'll ask about the situation."
Wei Han accompanied Luo Sheng to the Xici Room which was decorated as a study.
Shi Yan waited there, and immediately saluted the two of them.
"Is everything going well?" Luo Sheng asked.
Shi Yan smiled and said: "According to the blueprint you drew, I found it very smoothly, and the coffin was pulled back..."
Luo Sheng was a little worried: "There are two coffins, right? Don't confuse them."
"Don't worry, we will never mess up, and everything will be done according to your orders."
Luo Sheng smiled: "Thank you."
Shi Yan hurriedly shook his head: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a small honor to be able to work for the princess."
Wei Han glanced at him.
Shi Yan's heart shuddered, and he quickly stopped laughing.
"Take me to see."
Shi Yan was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Wei Han.
"Follow the princess' orders." Wei Han said lightly.
"Then you come with me." Shi Yan put away his curiosity and led Luo Sheng to look at the coffin that was transported back.
Two black-painted coffins were parked in a small courtyard.
The snow-covered eaves, the ground paved with blue bricks, and the black-painted coffin make this small courtyard cold and cold.
Luo Sheng walked over quickly, looking between the two coffins.
"Which one is Chaohua?"
Shi Yan pointed to one of the coffins and said, "This is inside."
Luo Sheng stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the black lacquered coffin.
Bearing the wind and snow, the coffin that came to the capital from Beihe was icy cold.
Luo Sheng said in his heart: Chaohua, you are finally home.
After a long time, Luo Sheng told Hongdou: "Go and call Xiu Gu, her sister is back."
Hongdou ran to the small kitchen and shouted: "Gu Xiu, the master said that your sister is back."
Sisters?
Xiuyue was startled, and followed Hongdou to the courtyard with a blank expression.
The two black lacquered coffins entered the eyes.
"Master—" Xiuyue had a vague premonition and looked at Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng smiled slightly at Xiuyue: "I heard you told the story about you and Chaohua, I asked Sanhuo to go to Beihe to bring her back."
Xiuyue's eyelids trembled slightly, and she pointed to the coffin closest to Luo Sheng and asked, "Is... this one?"
Luo Sheng nodded slightly.
Xiuyue rushed over, helping the coffin and crying bitterly.
Luo Sheng watched silently, trying his best to control his tears.
Xiuyue has an aboveboard status and can cry happily, but she can't.
Put a hand on her shoulder and pull her over.
Luo Sheng looked up at Wei Han.
"Cry when you are sad. Laugh when you are happy, and cry when you are sad. This is a natural human reaction, and there is no need for a reason."
Luo Sheng burst into tears.
Wei Han put his arm around her shoulders, feeling at ease.
That night in Beihe, Luo Er wept silently at Chao Hua's body, and he hugged her.
That was the first time he had the courage to hug the girl he liked.
How lucky he is to be able to hug her anytime now.
When she is sad, when she is happy, anytime.
The day Chaohua was buried was sunny.
Luo Sheng did not let Wei Han accompany him, and only stood with Xiuyue in front of the new grave for a long time.
Those accompanying people were sent away, including Hongdou and Kouer.
The wind passed through the forest, blowing the hem of the plain cloak.
Xiu Yuehong looked at Luo Sheng: "Master, let's go back."
Sister Chaohua finally got rid of her status as a servant of Yuxuan, left the cold Beihe, and guarded her and the princess at the nearest place.
In the future, as long as they want to miss Chaohua, they can come to see her anytime.
come to see her aboveboard.
This is wonderful, something she never dared to imagine before. After a hundred years, she will also be buried here, guarding the Princess together with Sister Chaohua.
"Well, let's go back."
Luo Sheng gathered his cloak and walked forward.
Xiuyue followed closely behind.
Hongdou rolled her eyes, pulled Kouer and murmured in a low voice: "Young lady treats Xiu Gu very well, she loves her so much."
Kuer pursed her lips: "Xiu Gu is a good cook and a nice person, the girl treats her so normal."
Hmph, anyway, she is not the number one maid, so who should be different?
Hongdou was furious: "Kuer, why are you turning your elbows out?"
She and Kerr have been friends since they were young, so how can they be unreliable at critical times.
Ke'er gave her a white look: "Why are you turning your elbows out? Xiu Gu is one of her own. Oh, it seems that Xiu Gu is going to cook braised mutton tonight."
"Really?" Hongdou swallowed, and immediately put the annoying matter of competing for the number one maid to the sky.
Luo Sheng had just returned to the mansion when someone came to report: "Princess, a letter has been delivered from the garden."
Emperor Yong'an abdicated and changed his title to King Jing, and brought his concubines including Concubine Xiao to live in Li Garden.
Luo Sheng was a little surprised when he heard the letter from Li Yuan.
After reading the letter, it turned out that it was Concubine Xiao Gui.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Sheng decided to visit this old friend.
The flowers and trees in the Li Garden are desolate and empty, and the faint crying sound drifts into my ears with the wind while walking.
There is thick snow under the feet, and no one sweeps it away in time.
"Master, be careful where you step." Kerr reminded.
Hongdou curled her lips: "You shouldn't have come to such an unlucky place."
While speaking, Concubine Xiao arrived at Concubine Xiao's residence.
The maid waiting outside the door raised the curtain.
Luo Sheng walked in, and what he saw was a woman with a dull color.
The once radiant Concubine Xiao Gui became pale and fragile like a flower that has lost water.
"Miss Luo is here." Concubine Xiao Gui stared at Luo Sheng for a moment, then spoke.
Hongdou raised her eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Our master is the princess now, don't shout."
Facing the little maid's scolding, Concubine Xiao didn't take it seriously, she just looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Miss Luo, can we talk alone?"
Luo Sheng pondered for a while, and told Hongdou and Kouer: "Go and wait outside."
The two were a little worried: "Master—"
"Go, I know it."
Hearing what Luo Sheng said, the two retreated silently.
Only Luo Sheng and Concubine Xiao were left in the house.
"Your Majesty called me, what's the matter?"
Concubine Xiao Gui laughed at herself: "At this time, why is Miss Luo calling me your mother?"
Luo Sheng said lightly: "At this time, the empress still calls me Miss Luo."
Concubine Xiao Gui hesitated, her smile cooled down: "I called Miss Luo, I just have some doubts and want to ask."
"My lady, please tell me."
"Xiu Gu...has she been with you for a long time?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Xiu Gu has always been my cook."
Concubine Xiao Gui sneered: "Miss Luo, don't play sloppy with me, I mean you already know her identity, right?"
Luo Sheng nodded slightly.
"Then I can give birth to a daughter, is it also in your plan?"
Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, and said: "It's sort of."
"As expected..." Concubine Xiao murmured.
After falling from the clouds and feeling the coldness of the world, she calmed down instead, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
It became like this, when did it start?
It started with the deposed prince.
After the prince was abolished, everything slipped into an uncontrollable abyss, and finally the dynasty changed, and the country changed hands.
Apart from the little emperor, the one who benefited the most is undoubtedly the Luo family.
The emperor's determination to abolish the crown prince was strengthened when she became pregnant.
The more Concubine Xiao thought about it, the more she hated her. As her daughter became more and more ill, her hatred reached its peak, and she had the idea that she must see Luo Sheng.
"Don't you think it's despicable?" Concubine Xiao Gui asked bitterly.
Luo Sheng asked calmly: "Your Majesty is afraid that Xiugu will help other concubines have children with herbal recipes, so you force her to drink 'plum juice', don't you think it's despicable?"
Concubine Xiao Gui's eyes were burning: "I just couldn't understand why Xiu Gu was safe and sound after drinking the plum juice?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Good people get rewarded."
"A good man is rewarded with good rewards!" Concubine Xiao Gui, who had always been calm, suddenly became excited, "What about my daughter, what's wrong with her? She was born as a princess, but now she is reduced to a bird in a cage without any freedom. , and even have no way to seek medical treatment when they are sick, they can only fend for themselves. Tell me, what is wrong with the child?"
Facing Concubine Xiao's madness, Luo Sheng remained calm: "Yes, the child is innocent."
The innocent ones are not limited to Xiao Guifei's children.
How many years ago, weren’t those babies who fled in the arms of the palace guards innocent?
"If the empress is trustworthy, I will invite the imperial physician to show the child."
Concubine Xiao Gui was taken aback, and stared at Luo Sheng suspiciously.
Luo Sheng looked frank: "The fact that the little princess came to this world is somewhat related to me. I naturally hope that she will grow up safely."
"Really?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Your Majesty, do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"
Concubine Xiao Gui stared at her blankly, and murmured: "As long as my daughter is well, then... forget it..."
Originally, she had the idea of burning everything together, even if she couldn't kill Luo Sheng, she still wanted to bite off a piece of Luo Sheng's flesh, so that she could taste the pain.
But Miss Luo said that she would let her daughter grow up safely...
Concubine Xiao was thinking about this, tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, why don't you relax. Although Li Yuan is not as magnificent as the imperial palace, it also saves a lot of trouble. More importantly, you have a daughter who is related to you by blood. If you were given a choice, would it be to be a high-ranking imperial concubine in the deep palace, or Where is the gentle and amiable mother in the garden?"
Concubine Xiao Gui pursed her lips and smiled wryly: "Miss Luo has a good tongue."
But, she was convinced.
Compared to the noble concubine in the deep palace, of course she wants to be Rou'er's mother.
The hostility in Concubine Xiao Gui's eyebrows and eyes quietly dissipated.
Luo Sheng left Liyuan, and soon sent an imperial physician to treat Concubine Xiao's daughter.
The little girl was born prematurely and was weak. She didn't suffer from any serious illness. The imperial physician came to see her every day, and the people around her took good care of her, and she soon recovered.
It's just that when the imperial physician came again, Emperor Yong'an, who had abdicated and became King Jing, was not good.
The imperial physician held Emperor Yong'an breathless after a lot of tossing, and the news quickly spread to the palace.
Luo Chen was indifferent when he got the letter.
He is clear about the truth about his return to the throne, and naturally he only has hatred for Emperor Yong'an, who is stained with blood from his family, and has no affection.
Giving that person the title of King Jing is just to successfully complete the succession of imperial power and reduce bloodshed.
But in order to block the world's discussion, we still have to express something.
Luo Chen ordered his confidants to visit on his behalf, and arranged for several imperial doctors to go.
Wei Han also received the news.
Wei Han walked into the Li Garden and came before the terminally ill Emperor Yong'an.
The once majestic emperor was lying motionless on the bed at this moment, like a fish out of water for a long time, emitting a faint stench.
Embarrassed, ugly, embarrassing.
People in the room saluted Wei Han one after another, with fear and caution.
Since moving to Liyuan, the Xindi's indifference towards this place can only be felt and understood by those who live in it. Therefore, facing King Kaiyang who is highly valued by the new emperor, of course he can only be in awe.
Once King Jing dies, they may depend on King Kaiyang to speak whether they can survive.
Seeing Wei Han, Emperor Yong'an tried to open his eyes wide and stared at him.
Wei Han slightly raised his eyebrows.
It turns out that "Brother Huang" is sober.
"You guys avoid it for a while, I have a few words with...Brother Wang."
An indifferent voice sounded, and the people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and quickly withdrew out.
The room was empty, and the strong smell of medicine filled every corner.
Wei Han looked down at Emperor Yong'an from above, and asked softly: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask why you sent people to kill my parents, and why I became the son of Concubine Shu."
Hearing this, Emperor Yong'an was speechless, his face trembling violently.
"I've been thinking about it for many years, but I can't figure it out." Wei Han looked at him with a cold expression, "Until the folks heard that you listened to the words of the national teacher and wanted to kill all the women born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Bochen year to bless Princess Changle The rumors of longevity, I suddenly had a guess—"
He paused, and said lightly: "No matter what the real purpose of killing those women is when you listen to the national teacher's words, in short, you firmly believe in the national teacher's words. Was it because of the national teacher that you did this back then?"
Emperor Yong'an's eyes suddenly widened.
He has always been sober, so Wei Han's words shocked and pained him.
It turned out that Wei Han remembered everything!
In the second year of his ascension to the throne, the eldest son died, and the situation was turbulent. The national teacher deduced that the general who could help him stabilize the country was Wei Han.
Naturally, he will put the star by his side to carefully teach, hone and train him, and at the same time give him a natural and loyal identity.
At that time, Wei Han was four years old, and the stupid son of the first emperor's concubine, Concubine Shu, was also four years old.
A young brother who is more than 30 years younger than him is simply the most suitable identity.
It's just that he planned everything, but he didn't expect Wei Han to remember what happened back then!
Seeing Emperor Yong'an's reaction, Wei Han smiled: "It seems that I guessed correctly, then I beheaded the national teacher that day, and I didn't feel wronged him."
Emperor Yong'an opened his eyes even wider, and made an unpleasant wheezing sound from his throat.
Wei Han looked at him with cold eyes: "I will never forget the revenge of killing my father and my mother. Fortunately, there is justice in the sky, and you can be blamed for what you are doing now."
God is fair, let him have a good memory.
Wei Han strode out.
Heavy and rapid breathing came from behind him, and he never looked back.
People who had retreated poured in, and the imperial physician sent by the palace also arrived, tossing around Emperor Yong'an.
Emperor Yong'an trembled suddenly after a short panting, opened his eyes and stopped breathing.
Wei Han had just returned to Kaiyang Palace when he received the news that Emperor Yong'an had passed away.
"Understood." He responded coldly, and walked to the main courtyard.
It only snowed the day before yesterday, and Luo Sheng was standing on the stone steps wearing a green cloak, smiling as he watched Hongdou and Kouer lead a group of little maids to catch the house sparrow.
Wei Han walked up to her and held her hand.
"King Jing is dead."
"Really." Luo Sheng's tone was calm, he got closer to Wei Han, and said softly, "God is fair."
Heaven has justice, let her rise from the ashes.
Wei Han hugged the people around him tightly: "Yes, God is fair."
Xu caught the sparrow, and the silver-like laughter of the little maids came over.
The two of them interlocked their fingers, watching the excitement with gusto.
Thank you book friend Ruola, you for the reward of ten thousand coins in your life, and thank you everyone who voted for the reward. See you tomorrow.
