There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 355 I'm Just Happy
This is too ridiculous.

Seeing Xia Houjue's increasingly pale face, Tang Wanning couldn't bear it and comforted him.

"Don't think about it, if you really can't bear it, why don't you visit the late emperor's cemetery after the new year?" In the blink of an eye, it has been 20 years, no matter whether you hate it or forgive it, you should go and see it after all.

Xia Houjue's eyes faintly shone with guilt. Looking back on all these years, except for the first few years, he went to see his father.

Later, he didn't even look at it, he didn't even care about his reputation of loyalty and filial piety, and he even stubbornly punished all the ministers who spoke out, just refused to go.

Xia Houjue nodded: "Yes, February 20 is the anniversary of the death of the emperor. It has been [-] years in a blink of an eye, so I should go and see it."

Tang Wanning wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly Xia Houjue continued.

"After the new year, he is usually fourteen. In another year, he will be an adult and can be enthroned."

"Yes, he will be fifteen next year. According to his age, he can get married and take charge of the government." Tang Wanning smiled.

"You can also take a good rest."

"That's right, Wanwan, you wait for me for another year, I will hand over the government affairs, and then I will abdicate and let Chang take the throne. I will accompany you on a tour of the mountains and rivers, how about traveling all over the famous mountains and rivers?"

As he spoke, he panted lightly, his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, so white that Tang Wanning's heart trembled.

"You have to worry about everything, I'll see when you can be free." Tang Wanning stroked his chest for him.

"You don't have to worry about getting married every now and then. He can find whatever he likes. You just need to hand over this beautiful river and mountain to him."

Xia Houjue had a wry smile on his cheeks: "It's true, now he no longer has to rely on anyone's influence, no longer has to look at anyone's face, and no longer has to be arranged by others to marry someone."

As long as he can always work hard to manage the country of the Great Xia Dynasty well, he can marry whatever kind of woman he likes.

The road to being an emperor is difficult, but it should be accompanied by someone close to him, just like... himself.

……

After a few heavy snowfalls, Qinghe's 20th New Year is coming soon.

On the night of New Year's Eve, when the New Year's Eve was over and the firecrackers were set off, all the royal family members, harem concubines, and even court ladies and eunuchs went to rest.

The whole palace was brightly lit, but there was only the whistling north wind in silence.

Xia Houjue looked at Tang Wanning's sweet sleeping face, then tucked the quilt up for her, and then quietly got out of the warm quilt.

A black shadow knelt outside the imperial study room. Xia Houjue casually put on a robe, gently opened the door and stood in front of the shadow.

The north wind blows at night, rolling snow particles and hitting the glazed tiles on the roof of Jinhua Hall, making a rustling sound.

The cold night is so cold, it's so cold that even the breath is white, and it's so cold that the jackdaws don't even have time to call.

Xia Houjue's face became paler. Standing in front of the man in black, he asked a faint question.

"Did you get the medicine?"

"Report to the emperor, it has been brought, please enjoy." He said and held up a brocade box.

Xia Houjue hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, reached out to take the brocade box, and observed it carefully against the snow for a while.

"Yes, this is it, very good."

"This thing is special, so I won't reward you casually. I'll just give you a stack of bank notes, so you don't need to say anything."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, the black figure hesitated for a moment, took the bank notes and kowtowed to thank him, but refused to leave for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this thing is special, you have to think twice, once you accept it, there is no room for turning back, I advise you to think again..."

"No need." Xia Houjue glared at him, turned and left with the brocade box.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The black figure trembled twice, and only kowtowed fiercely to the emperor's back, his voice was weak but full of reluctance, listening to his voice and back, who is it not the judge of the Tai Hospital?
……

This matter is actually very simple, but Xia Houjue wanted a medicine that would allow him to hang on to his life and live a healthy life again, how long it takes, even if it is only a month, it is better than standing still like this Can't sit, like a waste medicine jar that can only drink medicine.

He, Xia Houjue, considers himself not to be a bear, and even has some heroic feelings. He has been fighting all his life, and he won, winning beautifully and simply.

Therefore, he is a hero, and a hero should fight, even if he dies, he should die with great vigor and vigor, instead of living idly, just trying to procrastinate.

That's it, according to the judgment of the court, I still have two or three years to live, but if I take this medicine, I'm afraid it will only be one year.

One year is enough, as long as he looks like a normal person, he is willing to do it for one year.

I'm just sorry for Wanwan, I clearly said that I would travel with her for a few years, but in this way, I don't know how long I can accompany her.

Wanwan, my Wanwan, I will fail you in the end in my life.

……

After the new year has entered February, the spring is cold and the flowers are waiting to bloom.

Xia Houjue only said that he was not in good health, and let the prince supervise the country, while he prepared to take a good rest.

On February [-], he went to the imperial mausoleum.

The palace ladies and eunuchs guarding the mausoleum knelt down to meet them from afar. The people here were all exiled from the palace after making mistakes.

After waving everyone away, Xia Houjue came to his father's cemetery alone.

The mausoleums of the emperors are guarded by special personnel to ensure that the incense burns continuously and the sea lanterns are always bright all year round.

The court ladies and eunuchs cleaned the place spotlessly. He called people in and set up a table of wine and food, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks opposite the mausoleum.

Looking at his father who was close at hand, he sat down with a pale complexion, without saying a word, just drinking one cup at a time.

One jug of wine was poured after another, but the dishes on the table remained unchanged, and soon there was only the last glass left in the jug.

Xia Houjue stood up suddenly, walked to the tombstone with the wine glass in his hand, poured the wine down slowly, his eyes were red.

"Father, are you satisfied with the past 20 years? I said, I will definitely do it. Can you see it clearly in the sky?"

"Since I was a child, I have been better than the sixth brother in everything, but you like him the most."

"You will talk to him with a smile, you will hold him in your arms, you will let him ride on your neck, and you will pierce him with your beard stubble, but to me, you will always look indifferent, just like me Not your child."

"Am I not good enough? Or is my mother not good enough? You are too partial."

Xia Houjue suddenly smiled sarcastically: "The most ridiculous thing is that you still say something, value me, train me, value me, hehe...it's really a joke in the world."

The corners of his eyes were red, but he never shed a single tear. Even in the end, he just pointed at the tombstone bitterly.

"But you have also seen that I am more suitable to be an emperor than him. I just want them to be buried with my mother. I just can't tolerate them."

"Father, I'm just very happy, hehe..."
