Chapter 351

At night, Xiao Que was completely awake.Xie Yizhi came in and saw Xiao Que who had just woken up and was reading the letters that had accumulated for a long time from the capital in the past few days. Except for his pale face, he didn't look like a patient just recovering from a serious illness.Couldn't help but sighed helplessly and said: "Just woke up and you're going to fight like this. You should let Liu Qingyan add more tranquilizing medicine to your medicine." Xiao Que took a light look at Xie Yizhi and said, "Three days is already the limit. "Liu Qingyan knew Xiao Que's temper, let Xiao Que obediently lie on the bed for three days and was already dead Xiao Que's bottom line, if let him lie down a little longer, Xiao Que would definitely turn his face.Seeing Xiao Que like this, Xie Yizhi sneered, and said: "You can really see it, Liu Qingyan told me that you were hit by the palm of an empty crane, and although you got your life back, at least half of it was ruined. Internal force, you..." When he said this, even Xie Yizhi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.He is also a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally knows how important internal force is to the right person, especially Xiao Que who still relies on internal force to suppress poison, losing 20% of his internal force, which means that every time Xiao Que is poisoned, he will be more dangerous A few points. "Lin Zhenfeng is dead, [-]% of the internal energy is enough for me to protect myself in the capital." Xiao Que, the person involved, is much calmer than Xie Yizhi. Killing Lin Zhenfeng will definitely have to pay a certain price, [-]% of the internal energy The price was within Xiao Que's expectation.Seeing Xiao Que's appearance where everything is being calculated, Xie Yizhi didn't know what to say, so he could only wave his sleeves and say, "Okay, you counted everything, I'm just talking too much." Seeing Xie Yizhi's appearance, Xiao Que only hooked the corners of his mouth, after all Xie Yizhi was too worried about him.Seeing that Xie Yizhi didn't say anything, Xiao Que was also silent for a while, and finally asked: "Yun Shu...what can she leave before she goes back?" Que, Xiao Que couldn't see his expression clearly, it was only a blink of an eye, Xie Yizhi soon returned to normal, looked at Xiao Que and asked, "Why didn't you ask him when Liu Qingyan was around just now?" Xiao Que touched his nose and said, "I want to ask, but you didn't see his expression when he saw me. If I hadn't been seriously injured, I would have stabbed me a few times." After all, Liu Qingyan was Fu Yunshu's senior brother, although he usually He was arguing with Fu Yunshu, but he still takes Fu Yunshu very seriously.This time, Xiao Que asked Jiang Chufeng to save Fu Yunshu and deceived everyone. Fortunately, Fu Yunshu was fine, otherwise... Xie Yizhi secretly scolded Liu Qingyan for being cunning, but he had no choice but to follow the previous words: "What can I tell you? Now Hurry up and clean up the mess in the capital and go to Ningzhou to plead guilty." The two spoke in unison, so even Xiao Que didn't notice anything wrong.Xie Yizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.On the fifth morning after Lin Zhenfeng's death, on the day when the news was about to arrive in the capital, a secret decree came from the capital, and Emperor Zhao hurriedly summoned Xiao Que to the capital when he was awake with few people.Xiao Que didn't have time to ask about Fu Yunshu anymore, the bureau in the capital had already begun to operate, even though he wanted to go to Ningzhou to chase Fu Yunshu back, but Emperor Zhao's health was not optimistic, so he had to go back to the capital to make plans.Wait another month... It's still too late.There is another point that you made Xiao Que distracted from Fu Yunshu's matter, that is, Chu Lingong is no longer good.Originally, Chu Lingong's health was already very poor, and he was imprisoned in a secret room for a period of time after being soaked in the poison of Chu Qianyin all the year round. Without Liu Qingyan's acupuncture and medicine, his body was almost exhausted. If it was not for Liu Qingyan Hanging with precious medicinal materials all the time, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on long ago.When Xiao Que arrived at Chu's house overnight, the lights were dim. Because of Chu Qianyin's betrayal, all the people in the Chu family were cleaned up. The huge courtyard was very quiet and desolate.In just half a month, Chu Linggong was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. Xiao Que thought that when he was very young in the past, he saw Chu Lingong from a distance. He was an extremely gentle middle-aged man. A man, a young man who was following him was also very gentle, saw him, and smiled at him from a distance; when we met again later, he grew into a young man, but he was already old, [-] years can change a lot of things, the only one What remained unchanged was his gentle, apologetic eyes.Although he and the Empress Dowager are the origin of all tragedies, they are not the cause of the tragedies, so Xiao Que never hated them.Because of what his mother said before she died, he has always regarded them as relatives, and has been secretly maintaining the declining Chu family all these years in the court. "Xiao... Young Master, father is calling you." Chu Chi's eyes were slightly red, he hesitated for a moment and called to Xiao Que, pulling Xiao Que back from his memory.Xiao Que took a step forward, he didn't even know Chu Lingong who had been there for a few years, and suddenly everything was sober this night.Even if Liu Qingyan didn't say anything, Xiao Que knew that this was not a good thing, it was just a flashback. "Master Hou..." Xiao Que said in a cold voice, looking at the old man lying on the bed with cloudy eyes. Chu Lingong's eyes fell on Xiao Que, seeing his tone of respect, but alienated, I don't know how to feel in my heart.If it wasn't for a single thought back then... Presumably, he should be affectionately calling him Grandpa now.Chu Lingong held his breath and waited for him to come over. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't know what to say.They were sorry for the two children Xiao Que and Chu Qianyin, but for Chu Qianyin, they carefully taught him to be an adult, and used the power of the Chu family to cover him under the wings, but it was Xiao Que—they dared not and had no ability to protect him. he.Chaoyun said that they owed the Chu family, but why didn't the Chu family owe their mother and son?He wriggled his lips, and stretched out his dry, bark-like hands in the air, as if he wanted to grab something.Xiao Que hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to hold those old hands. "Are you... are you very much like your mother?" Chu Lin said openly, but as soon as he said it, tears flowed from his cloudy eyes.That year in Chujiang, he still remembered the child—his and his wife's first child, whom his wife had never held in his arms when he was dying, and found Chujiang.It seemed that a gap had been opened in a secret that had been kept dusty for many years. He subconsciously wanted to deny the unhideable secret, but—looking at those eyes that resembled those of his dead wife, he couldn't deny it anyway.At that time, he didn't know why that person tried every means to get the Chu family to admit her background. If, at that time, he denied it, many things would have a different ending.Even though it was as cold as Xiao Que, when he saw tears streaming from the corners of the old man's eyes, he couldn't help being shocked.Facing his expectant expression, Xiao Que was silent for a while, and said to him: "When my mother was dying, let me remember that I owed the Chu family, as long as I live, I must repay the Chu family well... ..." As she spoke, her tone paused, she looked at Chu Lingong and said, "She said, you are the best brother and father in the world, and she never blamed you..." He owed his daughter all his life After hearing Xiao Que's words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "What a silly boy..." Xiao Que looked at the old man, his hands were hanging down weakly, and he didn't know what to say, because his body He was weak, so his voice was very small, Xiao Que had to lean over and stick to his mouth to listen.

Outside, Chu Chi waited anxiously. After a long time, he heard "Grandpa!" from inside, with a choked voice, Chu Chi's heart sank, and the old man on the bed hung down with worldly concerns hands.

Before he died, his face was serene. Perhaps he had waited for his whole life, and what he was waiting for was this forgiveness, and that grandpa...Although the difference in their thoughts back then caused the tragedy in the future.But their intention of setting off was good, so whether he or the Queen Mother, they could be easily forgiven.It is not they who owe the world.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Xiao Que walked out with a frosty face. In the long night, the lighted dim yellow lanterns stretched his figure very long.Inside, there was Chu Chi's suppressed sobs. In the huge Chu family, Chu Chi was the only one left in the end.

The heavy responsibility of the Chu family rests on Chu Chi's shoulders. Even though his heart is ashamed, Xiao Que knows that even for the sake of the Chu family, he has to cheer up.People live in this world, besides living for themselves, they also have to bear many, many responsibilities.

In April, at the end of spring, it's time to go back to the capital...

On the sixth day of April, Duke Lin of Chu died, and his second son, Chu Chi, wrote a letter to the emperor asking for his seal.His grandson was unfilial and colluded with Nan Di to assassinate Yong'an Hou and Zuo Xiang. Yong'an Hou was assassinated and died, and Zuo Xiang was seriously injured.

What is left in the history books is just a few words. Under these few words, how many grievances and grievances are hidden under these few words, future generations have no way to explore.

On the tenth day of April, a secret decree came from the capital, and the emperor urgently summoned Prime Minister Zuo to return to Beijing.When all the dust in Chujiang has settled, the situation in the capital will rise.

When the news of Chu Linggong's assassination and death was sent to the capital, the queen lost her composure and knocked over the cup in her hand on the ground. Ignoring the screams of the palace people, she staggered to her feet and grabbed the collar of the guard who delivered the letter and asked sharply : "You said what happened to my brother? Say it again."

"My Lord, he... was assassinated and died on the Chu River..." The queen's usually graceful face had a horrifying expression at this moment, and the queen grabbed his collar tightly, and the queen's long armor was on his face A deep cut was made, but the guard dared not dodge too much, and said in pain.

After hearing this shocking news repeatedly, if she hadn't been supported by the palace servants behind her, she would have fallen to the ground long ago, and murmured: "How...how could this be..."

Going to Chujiang, did he clearly swear to get rid of Xiao Que?Why did he have an accident in Chujiang instead?

"The brothers who went to Chujiang with Lord Hou all fell in Chujiang. The subordinates received the news of help and wanted to go to Chujiang for reinforcements, but the tower of Chujiang was closed and all the organs were released. We have nothing to do. Enter the city." The guard was originally the leader of the guards who stayed in Lincheng to meet Lin Zhenfeng, so after the news of Lin Zhenfeng's assassination on the Chu River came out, he went to the city to find out the news, and found out that Lin Zhenfeng had been assassinated Death, hurriedly sent the news to Jincheng.

He went on to say: "When the subordinates came to Chujiang, they only heard that Chu Qianyin colluded with Nandi to treason and wanted to assassinate Lord Hou and Prime Minister Zuo in Chujiang. As a result, Lord Hou was assassinated and Prime Minister Zuo was also seriously injured. When the Qianyin incident happened, Chu Lingong was also pissed to death by Chu Qianyin."

The queen slapped the table fiercely, and said: "How is that possible! How could a mere Chu Qianyin hurt my brother and Xiao Que? Xiao Que must have done it!"

Seeing the ferocious expression on the queen's face, Haitang quickly said: "Your Majesty, this servant knows that you are sad, but if someone listens to your words, it's time to make a fuss."

The reason why the empress is so sad is because she and Lin Zhenfeng are brothers and sisters, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary; She is not close, Lin's family and Lin Zhenfeng are the only things she can rely on.

Now there is only Lin Zhenfeng in the Lin family. Although Lin Cheng is her nephew, the mud cannot support the wall. It is difficult to stay in the Lin family to guard Chengdu, let alone give her any help.

Once Lin Zhenfeng died, the Lin family collapsed, and she had no hope at all.

If it wasn't for Xiao Que - thinking of that person, a cold light flashed in the Queen's eyes.He ordered Haitang to say: "Call the second prince into the palace, hurry up!"
