Book with Emperor

Chapter 206
Zheng Guogong's mansion, the backyard.

As night fell and it was dark, Cen Wu's sword was blocked. The young man in a black cloak walked up to the young master, pulled down his hood, and revealed an indifferent and familiar face.

Han Zhengwei sat slumped on the ground, raised his head and stared blankly at the young man who was looking down at him from a height in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't recognize the person he had parted with a year ago.

"Yue Wentian... why are you here?"

What he wanted to ask was why you are in the capital, aren't you in Yongzhou, but when he saw the maid of the Duke's Mansion next to him who tried to kill himself, he guessed something, and his face changed drastically, "What do you want to do?"

Yue Wentian lowered his eyes to look at the people under his feet, his dark eyes could not see clearly because his back was facing the moonlight, "Long time no see."

That cool voice made Han Zhengwei shudder, and for the first time he felt fear of the young man in front of him, feeling extremely strange.

Yue Wentian saw his vigilance and fear, bent slightly and stretched out his hand towards him.Han Zhengwei paused, but still held his hand and stood up.

"This is my maid, she treats you as someone from the Duke's Mansion, she has no intention of hurting..."

"Why are you here?" Han Zhengwei interrupted him eagerly, "When did you come to the capital? What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that Lou Binghe will find you?"

He suddenly thought of something, "Does Qin Guanyue know that you are coming to the capital?"

Yue Wentian turned around slowly, "Go back to Houfu."

"cross--"

Han Zhengwei's voice stopped abruptly, followed him and grabbed his arm, "You haven't answered my question yet, what on earth are you trying to do? Do you know that this is dangerous!"

Yue Wentian looked at him faintly, "You look like a dandy but you are not stupid. You should have expected that the Houfu and I would stand on the opposite side."

Han Zhengwei froze in place.

"Go back, I won't kill you, if you still treat me as a friend, don't say anything, I'm not here to assassinate."

Yue Wentian turned around and wiped off the blood on his sword, and strode into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Cen Wu walked past Han Zhengwei, pulled out the sword from the warrior's corpse with his left hand, lifted He Sheng who was trembling, and followed silently.

Han Zhengwei looked at the corpse on the ground, gritted his teeth, and followed.

As they walked deeper into the bamboo forest, a bamboo house was revealed in front of them.

Yue Wentian's heart beat faster, and his footsteps speeded up unconsciously, but was stopped by Cen Wu behind him, "Be careful."

Yue Wentian calmed down a bit, but did not stop, "This bamboo house is consistent with... the description."

At this moment, the door of the bamboo house was pushed open, and a plain-clothed woman came out. She was startled at first, and then she saw the young man in black at the head, the soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and tears fell from his eyes. Come.

"...God?"

Zhao Shu walked forward slowly with trembling hands, tears like broken beads, "Is it my son...is it my son Tianer..."

Yue Wentian's eyes were red, and he strode forward to hold her hand, "Mother Concubine... the baby is late!"

Cen Wu knelt down, "Cen Wu has seen the princess!"

The terrified He Sheng at the side forgot his fear for a moment, widened his eyes and said, "Princess?"

Han Zhengwei who followed was shocked on the spot, "...Princess Qing? You are not..."

Didn't he die when Qingwang's mansion was full of gangsters?How could it be in Zheng Guogong's mansion?
He suddenly turned his head to look at He Sheng, who panicked and said, "I... I don't know! I don't know anything, I've never seen her before, this Uncle Zhulin never gave me anything, I don't even know who is she!"

Zheng Guogong?Han Zhengwei was taken aback, and he had a ridiculous idea of ​​hacking and treason.

Over there, Zhao Shu finally saw the only remaining youngest son after a few years, and couldn't help but think of Qingwang's mansion, his dead husband and the other two sons. , and immediately wiped away tears and asked how his son got in.

Yue Wentian didn't know how much Qin Guanyue said when he met his mother and concubine, nor did he know what Qin Guanyue's future plans were, so he only said that it was friends who helped each other.

Zhao Shu smiled with tears in his eyes, "You don't have to hide it from me, but the girl who came to see me secretly that day?"

Yue Wentian glanced at He Sheng, saw him shivering, and thought of Qin Guanyue's promise to go back to Yongzhou with him, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Well, it's her."

Zhao Shu tried his best to smile, and sighed, "Miss Mingyue is really affectionate and righteous. Back then, you just raised your hand, but now she is willing to risk her life to save me. I owe her a great favor from Qing Palace."

Yue Wentian was stunned, "...Mingyue?"

Cen Wu beside her had already changed her face, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Which Mingyue girl is the Mingyue girl that the princess is talking about?"

"Naturally, it's Miss Mingyue who Tian'er rescued from the Bailu Cliff five years ago and returned to the Palace."

Zhao Shu looked at his son in puzzlement, "After Mingyue left with her family, you were seriously ill, and you didn't mention it after that. I was afraid that you would hurt me, so I didn't mention her again. Did I guess the wrong person? But I know Seeing her holding your white jade ring..."

Yue Wentian didn't speak, but his hands trembled slightly.

"princess--"

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about these things."

He interrupted Cen Wu's questioning, calmed down, clenched his fists, drew out his sword and pointed at the bamboo forest behind him, his eyes were dark, "Seeing this, I should come out and die."

The bamboo shadow swayed, and a figure slowly came from the dark place.

When He Sheng saw the man, he immediately cried bitterly, "Uncle! You are finally here! Save me! I don't want to die, and none of this has anything to do with me!"

The coming year has passed forty, and he is exactly Zheng Guogong He Mian in brocade clothes.

He glanced at Yue Wentian, then set his eyes on Zhao Shu, his voice hoarse, "...I'm sorry, Zhao Shu, for lying to you for so long."

Zhao Shu looked calm, "I knew you were lying to me."

He Mian showed astonishment, "Then you—"

"Because Qingli said that as long as one of the Yue family is still alive, he will come to pick me up to see him, so I can't die, I still want to see me, Qingli, and my children
Zhao Shu's eyes were red, and he choked up, "I want to live, no matter what."

He Mian stared at her blankly, smiled wryly for a long time, and murmured, "I forgot, forgot that you were never a weak woman, you are so smart, how could you not see that you love him so much..."

"He Mian!"

Yue Wentian clenched the long sword in his hand, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Do you have a share in my Yue clan's hatred? How much do you know?"

He Mian's face was ashen, as if he was getting old in an instant, and he just laughed at himself when he heard this, "If I had that kind of ambition and courage, I wouldn't have agreed to divorce back then, how could I be willing to..."

Yue Wentian didn't want to listen to his wishful thinking anymore, and said coldly, "You save my concubine mother, and I will spare your life, but if you hide anything, I will slaughter the entire Duke's mansion."

He Mian's eyes trembled, and he said slowly, "I only know...that the young king's conspiracy was related to one person."

Cen Wu shook her body and took a step forward, "Who?"

He Mian looked at Yue Wentian, "You all know her."

Weird unease filled Yue Wentian's heart, and then spread into panic, like the black night above his head gradually swallowing his entire heart.

"……Who?"

"Qin Xu, Qin Guanyue."
