Lord please be gentle

Chapter 171 85

The light is like beans, pouring the dim yellow of the room.

Duguwan was panting so hard that he could hardly straighten his waist. He lay weakly on the pile of straw, gathered his last energy, and said to Xiao Mei: "I'm worried about Xue Qihua! Jun Moxin may regard him as a strong enemy, and he is going to make him fight for him." I am buried! Please help me...save his life..."

This is the reason and purpose of Duguwan letting Xiao Mei come over!
Xiao Mei looked at this lingering man who was almost out of shape, and thought of him in the past, who was as gentle and energetic as jade, and couldn't help feeling sad.After all, she has an excellent impression of him, and once regarded him as a friend and a confidant.

After a long time, Xiao Mei responded: "I promise you! Xue Qihua will live!"

Duguwan got the answer he wanted, finally calmed down, and raised his head again, his eyes were as deep as the sea. "Thank you."

"Is there anything else you want me to do for you?" Xiao Mei asked.

Dugu Wan thought for a while and said, "Do you think I'm pitiful?"

Xiao Mei shook her head lightly, "Poor people must have something to hate!"

Duguwan smiled bitterly: "Perhaps, this is the difference between love and not love."

Whether Jun Moxin succeeds or fails, she is unique in Xiao Mei's eyes, she loves him, pities him and forgives him.As for the man she doesn't love, even if she is really pitiful, she thinks it is because there is something hateful about it.

"The only person you've ever loved is Xue Qihua!" Xiao Mei told the truth from a bystander.

Duguwan treats Duguchen like brotherhood, blood is thicker than water.But it was the purest affection for Xue Qihua, the only person he really cared about when he was dying.

However, Dugu Wan could no longer answer Xiao Mei's words.He lay quietly on the straw, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xiao Mei walked over and called him several times. "The Lonely Son! The Lonely Son!"

Duguwan no longer answered, and he would never be able to answer again.

The dungeon fell silent, a gust of wind from nowhere blew past, the bean-like oil lamp swayed, and finally extinguished slowly, leaving the room in darkness.

Xiao Mei forced herself to be calm, she took out the fire folder, lit the oil lamp again, then looked at Dugu Wan who was lying on the pile of straw, dying, and ordered: "Come here!"

The guard walked in quickly, "Princess, what are your orders?"

"General Dugu has already gone! Find someone to tidy him up, dress him neatly, and put him in a high-quality coffin. As for his funeral, I will discuss it with King Jin!"

At Xiao Mei's request, Duguwan's ashes were transported back to his hometown in Licheng for a dignified burial.At the same time, she ordered Xue Qihua to be released and let him accompany Duguwan back to Licheng in person.

When Xue Qihua was released, he learned that Yao Yao followed Xue Qihua to Bianjing, so Xiao Mei ordered her to be released together.

In this way, Xue Qihua and Yao Yao came to Bianjing to look for Duguwan, but in the end they returned to Licheng with his ashes.

On the day when Duguwan's ashes were transported back to Licheng, Xiao Mei stood on the tower to see him off, and Jun Moxin accompanied her as usual.

He left the whole matter to Xiao Mei to handle, without intervening at all.It's just that when it's time to accompany her, he will definitely show up on time.

Xiao Mei watched the short funeral procession leaving the city gate and rushing towards the road outside the city, she couldn't help sighing: "The general of the Dugu army, the eldest son of the Dugu family, passed away in such a desolate way, it's a little sad."

Jun Moxin said lightly: "Being able to send his ashes back to Licheng for burial is an extra favor to him!"

"Husband," Xiao Mei looked at the direction the team was leaving, and said with some longing, "I suddenly miss the days of living in Mount Li!"

She and Jun Moxin didn't live in Lishan for a long time, but it was really a carefree and beautiful time.There, there are picturesque scenery everywhere, no worldly troubles, and the two of them stay together day and night, staying together and flying together. They really only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

Jun Mo heard the words, but said nothing.But, for the first time in his life, Xiao Mei saw a deep pain and helplessness in his eyes.

It turns out that not being able to stay in Lishan to live a life in a paradise is not only Xiao Mei's regret, but also Jun Moxin's greatest regret and hidden pain.Xiao Mei only recalled it occasionally, and sighed with some reluctance, but Jun Moxin made a choice involuntarily.

In order to get rid of his passive position and situation, Jun Moxin could no longer live in seclusion with Xiao Mei in Mount Li. He had no choice but to return to Bianjing, the center of the power game, and climb to the pinnacle of power step by step.

Now, he has successfully replaced the Nangong and Lonely families, and has become the real power controller of the entire Tiansheng Dynasty, even better than the original regent Situ Xian.

When Situ Xian was in power, at least the Nangong family and Qi Zecheng shared the country equally with him, but now Jun Moxin is the only one.

But even though he controlled the entire Tiansheng, even if the throne was at his fingertips, Jun Moxin still held his breath, showing no hint of ferocity at all.

Xiao Mei knew that he was still waiting, waiting for the time to be more mature, waiting for the power in his hands to be greater, waiting for the power background behind him to be more stable...

This man has extraordinary patience and scheming, and he will do everything he wants to do without fail.

Of course, there is no need for Xiao Mei to worry about these things.Most of her time and energy were used to accompany their beloved daughter, Yue'er, because Jun Moxin was busy with government affairs, and he asked his wife to spend more time with his daughter, and he would come to accompany their mother and daughter whenever he had time.

After seeing off Dugu Wan, the two cuddled together on the tower, looking in the direction of Licheng, with a secret longing in their hearts, but in the end they were able to swallow that longing and longing the most.

There are nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, just think about it often.

As long as the family of three is reunited, no one can threaten their survival and safety, and they don't need to rely on anyone to live, that's enough!
*
Three years later.

Due to his weak health, Situ Huang was unable to go to court early for three consecutive months. The officials collectively appealed and demanded that a new emperor be established.

In fact, at this time, Situ Huang not only couldn't go to court early, he couldn't even get off the dragon couch.He lay paralyzed on the couch every day, lingering on his last breath, and couldn't even speak coherently.

In front of the bed, Jun Moxin read out the admonition memorial signed by all the ministers, and then put the memorial signed by more than 100 names of civil servants and generals on the side of Situ Huang's jade pillow, and said, "What decision does Your Majesty make?"

Situ Huang didn't know where the strength came from, but he was able to forcefully raise his head, his eyes shot out the ferocious look of a dying beast, and said with a sneer, "You have bribed these traitors, what else can I make!"

Jun Moxin said lightly: "Since there is nothing you can do, it's better to go with the flow, and I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing in your later years."

"I won't criticize you. If you kill me, you are a king-killing traitor!" Situ Huang gasped, pointing at Jun Moxin.

"I won't kill you, I will let you live comfortably!" Jun Moxin picked up the memorial and said calmly: "You have read the memorial, it doesn't matter whether you approve it or not, I just want to let you know!"

"You..." Situ Huang finally understood that Jun Moxin had no intention of asking for his consent at all.Whether he agrees or not, it cannot change the ending. "You...you rebellious! I was blind back then..."

"This throne is mine in the first place!" Jun Moxin glanced over sharply, and Situ Huang immediately swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking.Looking at the resentful eyes of the other party, he took out a yellowed imperial edict and threw it over. "Look carefully, you can recognize what this is!"

Situ Huang saw a yellowed imperial edict with the date, with familiar handwriting on it, stamped with a jade seal and signed the name of Emperor Tiansheng with his own hand—it was his father's handwriting!
I never thought that the first emperor would leave this edict, requesting that after Prince Po was found, he would let the crown prince abdicate and establish Prince Po as the monarch.

"This is... the imperial edict written by... the emperor's own handwriting!" Situ Huang received another serious blow, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "He actually... treats me like this!"

It turned out that in the heart of the first emperor, his son, who was established as the heir apparent, was not even half as good as the exiled prince Po.As long as Po returns, he will give up the throne.It was extremely harsh to treat him like this.

"This imperial edict was written by him himself, but I'm only showing it to you!" Jun Moxin's voice was so cold that it contained no emotion or warmth at all. "I just want you to know that I didn't take anything away from you, the throne didn't belong to you in the first place! It's just that I didn't take out this edict, I just don't want to forgive him!"

He got the throne by his own means, and he didn't want to rely on an imperial edict to get it for nothing.That way, the late Emperor Xian felt that he had made up for the debt he owed to him and the noble concubine.And he didn't intend to forgive the first emperor at all, let alone give the first emperor the opportunity to make up for him and his mother, concubine, noble concubine who died in vain.

Situ Juan no longer had any voice, and he was deprived of his last dignity and hope.After all, he is just a clown.The real king is the elder brother Jun Moxin in front of him, and he is just a temporary substitute. When the rightful lord appears, he must back down.

This is all his value in the eyes of his father - a temporary substitute!Temporarily occupying the throne for his imperial brother Po!

Smiling silently, Situ Huang lowered his head weakly and slowly closed his eyes.After being paralyzed for so long, he was almost exhausted. At this moment, all thoughts were lost, and he had no more love, so he just wanted to let go.When he arrived in the underworld, he had to find his father and ask him what he did wrong to be treated so cruelly.

But Jun Moxin stretched out his hand and injected true energy into Situ Huang's Baihui acupoint, and Situ Huang, who was on the verge of death, opened his eyes again.He looked at his unrequited expression, and said coldly: "You can't die!"

His throne was abdicated to him by Situ Huang voluntarily. If he died, wouldn't it be him who used force to deprive him of it?So, he won't let him die.

"I gave you ten years of skill, which is enough to last your life for ten years!" Jun Mo looked at Situ Huang coldly, and said coldly: "This palace of nourishing the mind will be left for you to live happily ever after. If you insist on wanting to die, no one will stop you!"

After finishing speaking, Jun Moxin picked up the memorial signed by the ministers, walked to the dragon case, picked up the ink brush, wrote a reading, and then picked up the jade seal to stamp it, and then he left with the things he wanted .

That will is still left to Situ Huang, so that he can read more when he is free, so that he will not be so aggrieved.

In the lonely and empty palace, Situ Huang burst into a burst of desperate laughter.He tore at the will frantically, trying to tear it apart.However, it seemed to be woven with special fabric, which was extremely tough, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't damage it at all.

Finally, Situ Huang understood that this edict was woven with special fabric, in order not to be destroyed deliberately by those who cared.It turned out that the father was so fond of the prince Po, and he planned everything for him.It's a pity that Po didn't bother with his kindness at all, and didn't use this edict at all.

No, this will is also useful.First used to confuse Duguwan, and then used to attack Situ Huang, Jun Moxin can be said to have not wasted at all, and made the best use of everything.

Situ Huang slumped back to his original place, wanting to die but couldn't muster the courage.Jun Moxin had seen through him a long time ago, so he generously gifted him ten years of skill to prolong his life.Because he knew that as long as there was a chance of survival, Situ Huang would never commit suicide.

Ants are still alive, let alone Situ Huang, who is cowardly and greedy.

As long as he can live, he will definitely not seek death.

It took Jun Moxin five years to let the entire Tiansheng Dynasty know that Situ Huang was a useless king.It is because of incompetence that he conforms to the will of the people.

Therefore, Jun Moxin's throne was abdicated by Situ Huang, not by him killing the king.Therefore, Situ Huang suffered a crushing defeat and would never recover, not even in public opinion.

In the following days, Situ Huang was like a living dead, eating and waiting to die in this empty palace.When his life is completely exhausted, he will be annihilated silently in this palace.At that time, people will completely forget his existence.

*
Jun Moxin ascended the throne as the emperor, canonized Xiao Mei as the queen, refused to accept concubines, and ordered an amnesty for the world.

Duguchen and Nangong Yu were also released. This was an unexpected surprise, but no one could have imagined that Jun Moxin would return the [-] Dugu soldiers to Duguchen.

Duguchen got the Dugu order, and can continue to order and dispatch [-] Dugu troops.However, he was no longer allowed to stay in Bianjing.An imperial decree was issued to send Duguchen back to his hometown in Licheng.

The time to leave was very tight, but Nangong Yu still clamored in front of the palace gate to see the empress.

"Brother Nangong, stop making trouble!" Duguchen kept persuading him, trying to pull him away: "Now that she is a queen, she is loved by thousands of people, how could she still remember you!"
"She must remember me!" Nan Gongyu insisted, he turned his head and stared at Duguchen, and shouted: "Why do you think the military power of the [-] Dugu army has returned to you!"

Duguchen's heart trembled, even though he suspected it, he still couldn't believe it.At this time, Nangong Yu's words undoubtedly revealed the truth. "It's Xiao Mei..."

"Of course it's only her! When your elder brother's ashes were transported back to Licheng for burial, Xue Qihua's life was saved because she begged for mercy in front of Jun Moxin!" Nangong Yu slowly closed his eyes, tears dripping from the corners of his eyes. "She repaid your elder brother a favor, and she also repaid me a favor!"

Xue Qihua was released because of Duguwan, and the military power was returned to Duguchen because of Nangong Yu.Because, only Duguchen, who has regained his military power, is Nangong Yu's last hope and backer.Even if Nangong Yu died of starvation, she would never return to Nangong's house.
