Zheshu

Chapter 64 Dust
The emperor was resting on the warm couch, and the person standing beside him was Ji Rui.

When Ji Rui saw Shen Qing, he looked at the scars on her face and frowned slightly. Then he looked at Ji Wuhuan, who was still as cold as before.

"Father, we're here." Ji Rui said.

The emperor slowly opened his eyes at this moment, and when he saw the two of them, he suddenly laughed, and pointed to the seat beside him: "Sit."

Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuhuan, saw him nodding, and then sat down with him.

"You are Shen Qing." The emperor said.

Shen Qing's palms were slightly tight, he didn't call himself Princess Dayan or Princess Huainan, but called her by her real name.

Ji Wuhuan grabbed her hand, stood up together with her, looked at the emperor, and said lightly, "This is my concubine."

The emperor looked at Ji Wuhuan protecting the calf, smiled, and didn't say anything, he just sent the other people out of the room, and then sat up with Ji Rui's support.

"I've heard of Meiyun Pavilion, which specializes in intelligence collection, and kills people if necessary." The emperor laughed.

Shen Qing didn't speak, just looked at the emperor with pale hair and his tired and lifeless eyes, knowing that his life was not long.

The emperor knew that Shen Qing's reticence was the default, but he didn't intend to pursue it any further. He just took out a letter.

"Do you still remember your parents?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Shen Qing shook her head, she had already forgotten her former home, before Xuanyuanli said she was from Great Wei, but she could not recall any memory of being in Great Wei, only occasionally when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, she glimpsed a few figures, But he couldn't remember what the person in the dream looked like.

Ji Wuhuan remembered what the emperor had said before, about the Shen family, an orphan from the previous dynasty, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, I will take care of your own household affairs."

The emperor smiled and glanced at him: "You can protect your weaknesses." After that, he asked Ji Rui to bring tea, and he stopped the cough that was about to come: "The Shen family, an orphan from the previous dynasty, is the general's mansion. Men and women, all of them are capable ministers capable of literature and martial arts, but later they were unwilling to stay and serve me, so they all returned to the mountains, and I have not found them so far."

Shen Qing's complexion also sank a little when she heard the words, she didn't know where she came from, did the emperor mean that she came from the former Shen family?
The emperor didn't stop, but seemed to be trapped in his own memories, and told about the past: "The mistress of the Shen family was the only princess in the previous dynasty, so the Shen family is not only extremely capable, but also has a noble status. And I also appreciate that pride and loyalty." After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan, and his eyes were full of emotion: "It's just that I never thought that you would become husband and wife. It's ridiculous."

"What the emperor means is that I am the daughter of the Shen family, while Wu Huan is..." Shen Qing paused, everyone knew about this, but no one wanted to say it.

Ji Rui lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but the emperor smiled and said, "I have been tortured for so many years, I have a lot of power, but I don't have anyone close enough to share it with."

Ji Wuhuan's face was gloomy, and she seemed unwilling to talk about this topic.

"Is the emperor calling the minister here just to say these things?" Ji Wuhuan's words seemed a bit rude, but he knew the emperor would not be angry.

The emperor looked at him, smiled, and put down the teacup in his hand: "Wu Huan, chat with me for a while, not to punish you."

The emperor's tone was somewhat helpless, but Ji Wuhuan's attitude towards him was very complicated. If it wasn't for him, why would he have lived so hard for so many years, like the residue after the flames burned? If it wasn't for Qing'er, he would think Sooner or later he will be reduced to a soulless killing machine, without knowing what love is.

"I think the fourth prince has already entered the palace to report Xuanyuanli's escape. If the emperor is fine, go back and have a look." Ji Wuhuan didn't want to stay any longer, and pulled Shen Qing to turn around to leave, but the emperor hurriedly said: "etc……"

Ji Wuhuan stopped, and the emperor asked Ji Rui to come forward and give Shen Qing a gold medal.

"This is what I want to give to the Shen family, but they left before I took it out. Since the Shen family is still there, I will give it to you." The emperor looked at the two people who were carrying each other, and laughed softly. road.

Shen Qing looked at the gold medal that Ji Rui brought over, could it be that the emperor had already expected what the empress would do tomorrow?

She turned around and looked at the emperor: "Since the emperor knows my identity, why does he let me go?"

The emperor smiled slightly: "Because of being confused for a while, it is a good thing to exchange Dayan and Wei for a period of peace, even if they are preparing and planning, but where can my princes go? "

Shen Qing turned to look at Ji Wuhuan sideways, saw that his expression was slightly relaxed, and raised his hand to take the gold medal: "Since I am from the Shen family, even if I take this token, I will not thank the emperor much." She was an orphan from the previous dynasty, so she definitely had no reason to thank the current monarch, but by mistake, she married and fell in love with the prince of the current princess.

"You don't need to thank me, it's just that you are a little girl. It's rare to understand my intentions. It's really rare." The more the emperor looked at Shen Qing, the more satisfied he was. Let him be satisfied, the most important thing is that Wu Huan likes him.

"You don't have to worry about the eldest princess. I'm old, and she's old too, so I'm bound to do some stupid things, and I'll deal with them," the emperor said.

Ji Wuhuan knew what the emperor meant when he said 'will deal with'. He would not only deal with the eldest princess, but also Yuan Song who was corrupt and bribed, and the good-for-nothing Yang Zhao. no longer exists.

He didn't say anything, he pulled Shen Qing and left together.

When we came out of the yard, it was already dark.

The snow began to fall again, the dead trees beside the road were covered with white snow, and the roofs and courtyard walls became even more white.

"Let's go." Shen Qing suddenly took Ji Wuhuan's hand and said.

Ji Wuhuan was slightly taken aback, looked at the smile on Shen Qing's face, nodded, and the two walked together slowly in the narrow but bright alley, Yuan Ye led the carriage and followed slowly behind the old man .

"I remember when I was young, I liked to play in the snow. I often took Su Qiu and Xia Rao to play snowball fights together. The snow fell into the collar of the back of my neck, and my whole body was shivering with cold." Shen Qing said with a smile, recalling the past, She is always happy.

Ji Wuhuan looked down at her crooked eyes, and smiled, "I've never played before." His childhood was only beating, scolding and calculating, and later he lived a hard life in the military camp.

Shen Qing bent down, took a hand of snow, and gave it to him: "Knead it into a snow ball by yourself."

Ji Wuhuan was slightly taken aback, looking at the pure white snow, he hesitated.

Shen Qing smiled: "It's not cold."

Ji Wuhuan looked into her shining eyes, like stars in a snowy night, extremely beautiful.

He stretched out his hand to catch the snow, followed Shen Qing's example and slowly kneaded it into a ball of snow, saying: "Who are you throwing at?"

The corners of Shen Qing's mouth were raised, and his eyes signaled Yuan Ye who was following behind with nothing to do. Ji Wuhuan pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and looked directly at Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye was taken aback for a moment, looking at the two men who were staring at him solemnly, he asked timidly, "What's the matter? I didn't lead the horse to disturb you?" frightened.

Shen Qing couldn't help laughing, and threw the snow in his hand directly towards him, and Ji Wuhuan also took the opportunity to throw it out.

Yuan also understood that it was a snowball fight, so he started to make snowballs excitedly. Although it was a two-on-two match, Ji Wuhuan's assistant was Shen Qing, and his assistant was a horse. In the end, he was defeated badly. Not reconciled to the end.

Standing in the yard, Ji Rui heard the laughter outside, his eyes were full of longing.In the past, Shen Qing always invited him to play together, the deep palace was really too lonely.

Through the window, the emperor looked at Ji Rui who had already chased to the door but stopped, smiled, and looked at the father-in-law beside him: "You said that my son didn't have a good life, isn't it my son? , really come here for a bad name? Was it stolen?"

The father-in-law hurriedly knelt down and dared not speak.

Seeing this, the emperor just smiled, looked at the scenery outside and muttered to himself: "The snow is getting bigger and bigger. After this winter, the next year will be a harvest year. Our national strength can be doubled again, okay, Good!" After the emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the soft cushion again, Ji Rui still didn't come back, preferring to stand in the yard, watching the freedom of falling snowflakes, feeling their freedom, in the red eyes, flashing A strange light came out.

The emperor's actions were really fast. When Ji Wuhuan and his wife returned to the Huainan Palace, even though it was already dark, the old lady was still waiting in the front hall, and the third master's family came with them, because none of them expected The disaster came so quickly.

The third master was still muttering: "What are you guys doing in such a panic, something happened to the second brother, I'm still here, I can still bear it."

"What do you take!" The old lady lost her good temper, and looked at the fat face of the third master and became angry: "For so many years, you have only known about cockfighting and running dogs, what else do you know besides these?"

The third master curled his lips: "You will always know."

The old lady didn't argue with him, and when she saw Ji Wuhuan came back, she still maintained her aloofness in front of Ji Wuhuan, maintaining her dignity.

Ji Wuhuan entered the front hall, only glanced at the few people indifferently, and said: "The old lady and the third master came here late at night, I don't know why?"

"What's the matter? Don't you know?" The old lady asked immediately.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, a little displeased: "Your Highness is busy with official duties, should you know everything according to what the old lady wants?"

"You...you are presumptuous!" The old lady couldn't help saying angrily when Shen Qing saw that she was both rude and dared to talk back.

Ji Wuhuan stood directly in front of Shen Qing, and looked at the old lady indifferently: "In this prince's palace, it is said that the princess is presumptuous, do you still think this is the Sumu Palace?"

"You—!" The old lady was told by Ji Wuhuan, so she simply stood up and pointed at him: "You are unfilial, I am your grandmother, how dare you talk to me like that, you white-eyed wolf!"

Ji Wuhuan raised her thin lips coldly: "When you burned my mother to death, you were no longer my grandmother. Someone, please get them all out!"

The guards of the palace swarmed in, and they were immediately frightened.

The old lady still had her neck stuck, while the third master turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Wu Huan, don't worry, we are here this time to ask for your help."

The third lady stood on one side with eyes lowered and did not speak. At this moment, the old lady is still putting on a good face, and is still treating Ji Wuhuan and this powerful princess as a three-year-old child. It is already considered merciful by them to be treated like this , if you don't give up, whether you can go out safely today will be a problem.

"Mother, please tell Wuhuan carefully, there are some things he doesn't know..." The third lady still reminded her, but the old lady seemed to be in trouble with someone, and she stared at Ji Wuhuan as before: "I raised you up, and this is how you repay me? Haha, the world-famous God of War, King Huainan, is really a shameless murderer, bastard!"

As soon as the old lady finished her last word, Shen Qing said in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you throw them all out for me!" She used throwing instead of asking, but she hoped to throw them all out sooner. Throwing these people out will prevent them from hurting Ji Wuhuan again and again.

No joy, no joy, when they gave him this name, they didn't regard him as a relative, but now they come to call him a white-eyed wolf, what a joke!
After Shen Qing finished speaking, the attendants stepped forward and grabbed the old lady and the third master and lifted them up.

The third lady glanced at Shen Qing gratefully and quickly left. Shen Qing turned to look at Ji Wuhuan, thinking that he would be angry, but unexpectedly, he was sad, like a child, even if he was sad, he would not be angry. Endure, refused to say a word.

"It's all right." Shen Qing took his hand, trying to make him happy just now, but as soon as he came back, all the warmth was disturbed by that family.

Ji Wuhuan's throat moved slightly, and seeing Shen Qing's concerned eyes, he held her in his arms: "I'm a murderer, a bastard..." His tone was inferior and cowardly, the last time Shen Qing saw him In this way, when Yuan Song and his father dealt with him together, only those relatives he cared about could hurt him like this.

"You are not, you are the God of War, the welfare of the people of Wei, my blessing, my only love." Shen Qing said softly, but she felt so sorry for him that she wished to kill the old lady, a selfish and mean old lady.

Ji Wuhuan hugged her tightly, calming down his mood slowly, as long as she was there, all his discomforts would fade away quickly, and he would no longer torture him.

Shen Qing also felt his calm emotions, and smiled softly: "I'm tired, but after walking for a day, my legs are sore."

Ji Wuhuan looked at her who was acting up for no reason, smiled lightly, raised her arms and picked her up horizontally, and went to the room.

The old lady of the majestic and dignified government was thrown into the snow like this, and she was in a terrible state.She felt that her complexion was torn apart, and she was so angry that she yelled at the door regardless of her demeanor, completely losing the demeanor of the dignified and wealthy old lady.

The third master got up, scratched his head and looked at the old lady: "Mother, what should I do, big brother?"

The old lady gritted her teeth angrily when she thought of her son Yuan Song who was suddenly rushed in and taken away by the officers and soldiers: "Ji Wuhuan, you are so ruthless, you will be punished sooner or later, you'd better be burned like your mother... "

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Qiu took a basin of cold water and burst out, making her drenched all over.

"If you don't leave, I'll pour diesel oil. It's worth the life of my lowly servant in exchange for the life of your dignified and dignified lord and wife." Although Su Qiu has a calm temper, she can't help but look at them all the way. They can still be allowed to continue playing tricks here!

The third lady looked at the old lady whose hair was loose and drooping on her face, and looked at her unbelievable expression. In fact, she wanted to laugh a little bit, but she tried her best to hold back and stepped back without speaking.

Yuan Ning'er wanted to sell a good one and handed over a handkerchief, but the old lady roughly opened it.

The old lady stared at Suqiu, she was so angry that she didn't dare to say another word, she got into the carriage and went back, she was going to invite the second master, but she didn't believe that Ji Wuhuan dared not listen!
When Yuan Shuang heard the news, Shi Lianqiao told her that at this time Lianqiao was sitting in Liu Qing's arms feeding fresh fruits, and said in a regretful tone: "Tsk tsk, you don't know the scene at that time. , the old lady almost fainted from crying, but no one paid attention to him at all, so she could only watch helplessly as the old man was taken away."

Yuan Shuang was so angry that he tore Lian Qiao: "You bastard, you damn thing..."

Lian Qiao is not easy to be bullied, she raised her hand and pushed Yuan Shuang to the ground, seeing that she was about to get up again, she kicked her hard in the stomach again: "Miss, this is not Su Mu Gongfu, you If you touch a single hair of my hair in the future, I will beat you to death!"

"Don't you dare, how can I say you are the young lady! You are a lowly maid, why are you arguing with me!" Yuan Shuang was almost desperate, she didn't care who Liu Qing liked more, but she wanted to fight for this decency, she was once the No. A talented girl, none of the dignitaries wants to marry her, but now she is being compared to a lowly girl, how can she bear it.

"Young Madam?" Lian Qiao smiled sarcastically, turned her head and looked at the drunk Liu Qing pretending to be coquettish: "Young Master, she said she is Young Madam."

Liu Qing looked at Yuan Shuang in a daze, looked at her broken left hand, and said contemptuously: "Ugly things, don't you know that if you marry, you will be a wife and you will be a concubine, let alone you who send it to your door by yourself?" You are here, my mother said, you are the most shameless whore in the brothel, and you still want the dignity of the young lady? My son rewards you with a bite of food and you are grateful!"

Yuan Shuang's eyes were red with hatred, but she was more helpless.

"Although my father has been imprisoned, I am still the eldest granddaughter of Duke Sumu's mansion, and my elder brother is still the king of Huainan. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of retribution one day!" Yuan Shuang said hoarsely.

Liu Qing didn't care, but Lian Qiao frowned, thinking of a plan: "My lord, why don't we keep her here forever, how about raising her like a dog?"

When Liu Qing heard it, it was interesting to drink loudly: "The most talented woman in the capital is raised by me like a dog, good, good!"

Yuan Shuang tensed up all over. It seemed that all the poisonous schemes to kill Shen Qing were useless. She only had remorse in her heart, but it was remorse why she didn't kill Lian Qiao and everyone...

No one knew about Yuan Shuang, let alone cared about it, because Duke Sumu was busy fishing out Yuan Song, while Shen Qing and Ji Wuhuan were about to enter the palace. It can be settled.

When Shen Qing left, she took the weird Nie Sheng with her. Nie Sheng's son died, because he was too eager to go out and was burned to death by the sun.

The carriage wobbled, making people very tired. Shen Qing felt that he was always sleepy these days, and his headaches became more and more frequent.

She fell asleep in Ji Wuhuan's arms, dreaming of herself when she was a child. She was wearing pink clothes, a little ball, playing in the woods, but she didn't notice the wolf behind her that was about to devour her.It was Xuanyuanli who saved her, so from then on, she stayed by his side, accompanied him to protect him, and helped him love him...

She dreamed of the blood scene in Meiyun Pavilion again, and Xuanyuanli ordered to kill Wushe.

"Qing'er..." Just when Shen Qing was about to fall into her own nightmare again, Ji Wuhuan's voice came, like a gust of cool wind, which immediately dispelled all the boredom and murderous aura in the dream, and woke her up.

"What's wrong?" Ji Wuhuan asked her as he lifted her up, turned to hug her.

Shen Qing shook her head: "Nightmare."

Ji Wuhuan hugged her: "In the future, if you have nightmares, you will dream of me. I will protect you."

Shen Qing smiled, raised her head and met his serious eyes: "You have to dream, and you have to come to protect me in my dream, isn't it very tiring?"

Ji Wuhuan smiled lightly and kissed her on the lips: "It's only tiring when one is dreaming, but two are not."

After hearing this, Shen Qing rolled her eyes and laughed.

The carriage didn't know how long it had been going, and finally stopped. Even though Ji Wuhuan got off the carriage, Shen Qing also saw Nie Sheng following behind.

Nie Sheng seemed to have turned his head white overnight, his eyes were sad, and he stared blankly ahead, as if he was insane.

"Let's go." Ji Wuhuan took Shen Qing's hand. Since the emperor has everything in his hands and arrested people before they entered the palace, the queen should have prepared everything.

The corridors of the palace are still long and narrow. After the wind and snow raged all night last night, it has stopped today.

The queen had already been waiting in the imperial garden, and a man wrapped in a cloak sat next to her.

When the queen saw Nie Sheng, she was a little surprised, but quickly restrained herself. Before several people came over, she turned to look at the man in the cloak: "Go back and rest."

Normally, he would go back, but this time he didn't: "Mother, my son wants to talk to King Huainan." King Huainan traveled all over the world and fought countless battles. He is a great hero and the object of his admiration.The history of the father is too far away, but Ji Wuhuan's is not, his is close at hand, and it will happen at any time.

"Prince!" The queen was a little angry, but the eldest prince stood up, looked at the oncoming person, and said with a smile, "Prince Huainan."

Ji Wuhuan paused slightly, stopped Shen Qing behind her, and saluted on the spot.

"Don't be too polite, come here, I want to ask you, have you ever been to the desert? It is said in the book that the desert is full of yellow sand, desolate and lonely, is it true?" The eldest prince began to chatter and ask him what he kept in his heart. His complexion is getting darker and darker.

"Okay!" The Empress seemed to be unable to bear it, and after she scolded her, she softened her tone: "Your Majesty, you can visit these places yourself in the future, you don't need to ask others, just go back."

"Mother, you have been saying this for more than 30 years. When is it?" The eldest prince's tone darkened, but he didn't mean to disobey the queen any more. The woman smiled lightly: "Is she your princess?"

Ji Wuhuan's palms were slightly tight and she didn't answer.

The eldest prince looked at Shen Qing and looked back, and smiled back. He didn't like so many women he sent to Ji Wuhuan, but he actually liked this. Why don't you catch her and let Ji Wuhuan stay in front of her for the rest of her life? , Tell him about the magical and interesting things outside.

As soon as the eldest prince left, the queen said coldly: "Ji Wuhuan, you are so brave!"
