Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 195 She Has Been Waiting For The Ending
Hualou cheated the world, and brought out a person who was about the same size as Zhou Mao from the death row prisoner, and replaced it with a human skin mask, and brought Zhou Yao out like this.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhou Wei was already dead and buried.

As for General Zhou, there is only one person left. In fact, in this scene, the most pitiful person is this old man who is over fifty years old.

It is so cruel for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person.

Zhou Wei just cultivated in the palace for a few days, and when the painting building returned to the palace, she was still the original Concubine Hui, nothing different.

Yun Xiao was still in the imperial capital, and he lived in the imperial palace. When he saw Hualou, his eyes were full of murderous intent. In fact, Hualou knew that he hated her for nailing the coffin without letting them take a look, and entering the imperial palace. After the mausoleum, it was already impossible for him to think about taking Zhou Wei's body away.

In Yanqing Palace, Dong He and Yun Xiao were sitting face to face, the chessboard in the middle was quietly placed there, and there was an unusual aura lingering around both of them.

Once, he was a prince, he was the son of a general.

Today, he is the emperor of Xiliang, and he is the crown prince of Yun Kingdom, who will be the emperor of Yun Kingdom in the future.

They look completely different, but in the eyes of Hua Lou and Zhou Wei, they have at least one thing in common, that is, fickleness and heartlessness.

This chess game continued from last night until early morning.

The painting building just got up, went out and stood in the corridor, the autumn air was crisp and sunny, but it was a bit cold, maybe because of the frost.

"When the sun is shining, I feel much better."

Ah Jiu stood behind her, slowly raised her eyes to the sky, pursed her lips, and clenched her hands tightly. She seemed to have something to say to Hualou, but she didn't know how to say it.

After Hua Lou finished saying this, he turned around slowly, and saw Ah Jiu's expression of hesitating to speak, and frowned slightly: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Ah Jiu was still in deep thought when the voice of the painting building suddenly sounded, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at the painting building.

"No, it's nothing."

Hua Lou nodded, and didn't continue to ask, because she knew that what Ah Jiu wanted to tell her must be related to herself. If it was someone else's, or a general small matter, she would not hesitate at all, so give When she was thinking, Hualou could probably guess what was going on.

At this moment, Ru Yang asked slowly: "Your Majesty, do you want to pass on breakfast? Should we wait a little longer?"

"Pass for breakfast."

As soon as she finished her words, she seemed to think of something again in her mind, she hurriedly stopped Ru Yang and asked in a deep voice: "Did Your Majesty come back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night?"

"No, Prince Heyun is still in Yanqing Palace." Ru Yang replied after a pause.

"That's good, the breakfast will be delivered to Yanqing Palace." After Hua Lou finished speaking, Ru Yang nodded and left.

Yun Xiao and Dong He were still in a stalemate when they saw the cook from the imperial dining room slowly walking into Yanqing Palace with breakfast.

Dong He frowned slightly, Li Qin was still standing behind him, and he didn't go to pass on the meal, why did he bring it here.

At this time, the figure of Hualou slowly appeared at the door: "It's breakfast, let's continue after breakfast."

Sitting there, Hualou looked at Yun Xiao quietly, and asked slowly: "Prince Yun is blaming me."

"Why did Concubine Hui say that?" Yun Xiao looked at the painting building with a calm expression, but his eyes were cold and cold.

Hua Lou slightly hooked his lips, showing a faint smile: "I have a match with Sister Zhou Wei, and I will never violate her last request, absolutely not! So I also ask Prince Yun to forgive me."

Donghe didn't speak, just quietly listening to the sparks flying between Yun Xiao and Hualou.

"I've heard about Concubine Hui's name a long time ago, it's better to be famous than to meet!" Yun Xiao's words were full of gnashing of teeth, but his face still had a gentle smile on his face.

Hualou lowered his eyes, and replied lightly: "Prince Yun was joking, no matter what, she is just a woman. Apart from being interested in feelings, she has no interest in other things. We're getting married!"

Yun Xiao's expression changed because of that big marriage sentence, and he didn't speak for a long time, Donghe hurriedly said, "Eat quickly, it's getting cold."

Listening to Donghe's words, Yun Xiao and Hualou looked at each other indifferently. The smoke of gunpowder cannot be resolved with just a few words.

After breakfast, Yun Xiao suddenly mentioned the news that he was going back, and then he told Dong He that he would take Old General Zhou with him.

Dong He was silent for a long time before saying anything, Hua Lou looked at Yun Xiao, and replied, "Prince Yun, I'm afraid Old General Zhou should agree to this matter."

"He raised me up, and now that Zhou Wei is gone, it's what I should do as a son of man to take care of him." Yun Xiao said slowly.

Hualou also believed that Donghe would not agree to Old General Zhou being taken away by Yun Xiao, even if he was an adopted son, he couldn't. To be loyal and filial, he could only be in this imperial capital, and it was impossible for him to travel long distances to Yunguo.

"Speaking of being filial and responsible for the children, of course there is nothing wrong with it, but Zhou Wei has her own ideas about this matter. Of course, the person involved is General Zhou. I will seek the opinion of the old general." Hualou said. After finishing, Yun Xiao fell into silence.

"Of course, father's opinion must be sought on this matter." Yun Xiao said lightly.

In this matter, Yun Xiao may really just want to take good care of General Zhou, but he may not follow Yun Xiao to Yun Country, he has been fighting for Xiliang all his life, and now he is over half a year old It's all over, some plots can't be changed by anything.

At this moment, Ru Yang walked in suddenly, Hua Lou frowned slightly, looking at Ru Yang's walking posture, it was obvious that something happened outside.

Hua Lou didn't ask, but Ru Yang whispered in her ear: "My Lady, there is a letter from Prince An's Mansion, she is gone."

"What?" Hualou exclaimed in surprise, making both Yun Xiao and Dong He startled slightly.

"What's wrong?" Donghe asked in a deep voice.

Hualou's eyes changed slightly: "It's okay."

"Prince Yun, I will talk to Old General Zhou about the matter, and then I will give you an answer." Dong He looked at Yun Xiao and said slowly.

Hua Lou got up, pursed his lips: "I'll go, Zhou Wei went suddenly, he must be very sad, I think it will be better if I go."

Of course Donghe agreed with what Hualou said, nodded and replied: "Well, go outside and be careful."

Because of the news of Zhou Wei's departure, Hualou's whole heart was in suspense, and he turned around and left quickly without replying to Donghe's words.

After leaving Yanqing Palace, Hua Lou looked back at Ru Yang and asked, "Who said it?"

"It's just a message." Ru Yang replied.

Hualou walked quickly: "We are going out of the palace."

Both Ajiu and Ru Yang went out of the palace with Hualou, and just when they reached the gate of the palace, they saw Donghua standing at the gate waiting for her.

"coming."

"Well, why did she leave? Did she leave a letter?" Hua Lou looked at Dong Huawen.

Donghua looked at Hualou anxiously, and reached out to pat her head slightly: "She didn't leave a letter, she should have left in the middle of the night last night."

"Her injury" Hualou is worried about Zhou Wei's injury, maybe also her heartache.

Donghua looked at her and comforted her softly: "The old general is still here, maybe she just went out for a walk to relax, and rode away with a sword, it's all right."

Hualou listened to Donghua's words, and his heart relaxed a little. In fact, Zhou Wei was able to lead the army to fight many years ago. Now he just goes out to relax, so what is there to worry about?

"Although that's what I said, it's not the same now as it was then."

"It's different, but I'm still a little worried." Hualou said slowly.

Sitting there, Hualou looked at Donghua and said slowly: "By the way, Yun Xiao will leave the imperial capital the next day, and he wants to take Old General Zhou to Yunguo."

"what?"

"He told Donghe about it this morning, and Donghe said it depends on what General Zhou wants."

"General Zhou won't follow Yun Xiao in this matter, don't worry."

"I won't leave, but should we tell him that Zhou Yao is still alive? Also, there are only a few servants in the Zhou Mansion, and he is the only one who makes the old man. Although Zhou Yao was not around before, he always knew , He still has a daughter in this world." After Hualou finished speaking, Donghua looked at her quietly, especially the last sentence, which he deeply understood.

"Let's talk about the fact that Zhou Wei is still alive after Yun Xiao leaves."

"Alright."

In the afternoon, Donghua and Hualou went to the Zhou mansion together. The people in the mansion were still the same, but when they entered the mansion, there was a feeling of desolation and bleakness, maybe because everyone was still immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate themselves.

Although there were not many people in the original Zhou Mansion, Old General Zhou was very energetic every day. He practiced martial arts and went to court. He never wasted a day and felt very energetic every day. On the rocking chair, quietly, not angry at all, it seems that after a few days of tightness, he has aged a lot.

The housekeeper in the mansion saw Hualou and Donghua, and saluted slowly, Hualou hurriedly said: "No need to be too polite, we just came to see the old general."

"Please come with me."

The butler brought the two of them to the courtyard at the back. The sun was shining brightly. General Zhou was just sitting there quietly. The butler whispered something in his ear. He turned around slowly and was about to get up to greet Hualou and Dong. Hua saluted, Hualou hurried up upon seeing this, supported him and said, "General Zhou, don't be too polite."

He looked up at Hualou and Donghua, his eyes swept over the two of them, maybe he didn't think that Hualou came to this mansion with Donghua to see him.

"The old minister has met Concubine Hui and Lord An!" His voice was old and feeble, with deep and unresolved sadness.

Hualou's heart froze slightly, and some indescribable guilt spread endlessly in his heart.

Donghua walked up to him slowly, and said in a deep voice, "General, please forgive me."

"Thank you lord and empress for visiting." General Zhou looked at the two of them talking slowly, and after finishing speaking, he looked back at the housekeeper and said, "Go make tea."

"Yes, General!" The butler left quickly.

Donghua had some things to say that were hard to say, so he walked away after saying a few polite words, Hualou sat opposite the old general, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save her."

"Who are you?" These three simple words made Hua Lou stunned. She never thought that General Zhou would ask who she was.

Looking at Hualou's stunned expression, he said in a deep voice, "If you were really Qianji, Ah Mao wouldn't trust you so much, and you wouldn't help her like this!"

Hualou looked at those sharp eyes, pursed his lips, and fell silent.

"I'm Hualou!" Hualou's heart sank, and he opened his lips and said.

Hualou watched his expression change steadily, without the slightest surprise, and was so calm and composed.

"Thinking about it, it can only be you. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't be so relieved." He seemed to be talking in a vague way, and Hua Lou didn't understand.

But even so, Hualou still had to explain why he came here.

"General, I came today because I want to ask for your opinion on something." Hua Lou looked at him and said softly.

"I know why you came here. I won't go to Yunguo, so you don't have to worry."

Hualou listened to his words, and his heart froze. They were worried and wanted to persuade him, but he had already thought of it.

"Ah Mao told me when she left. From now on, you will treat me as her, and I will treat you as my father. I will take care of your life in the future." After Hualou finished speaking, General Zhou smiled Yes, looking at Hualou, smiling kindly, Hualou always felt that there was something she couldn't see in his smile.

"Life and death are common things. I have lived to this age, and I am very open-minded! If I was afraid of losing this daughter, then I would not take her to the battlefield! Good boy, I don't need you to worry about it."

Hualou looked at him and saw that he got up slowly and walked towards the house.

And Hualou followed behind him in small steps, and when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Hualou and said, "Since you have chosen this path, tell her that there is no parent in the world. I don’t want my children to be happy!”

After speaking, he stepped into the house and closed the door.

Hualou stood at the door, his mind was still buzzing, what did he say?Hualou stood there in a daze!
When Donghua came back, he saw Hualou standing blankly at the door of the house, as if unresponsive.

After a long time, Hualou said slowly, "I see."

"What's wrong?" Donghua said as he walked up the steps slowly and helped him over the painting building.

Listening to Donghua's words, she suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Donghua's face, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a gratified smile.

"It's okay, let's go back." She said and walked out of Zhou Mansion holding Donghua's hand.

After Hualou and Donghua left, Old General Zhou was still standing by the window watching, and the old housekeeper stood behind him and said, "Master, I really didn't expect that."

"In this world, there are too many unexpected things, not just this one!" He said with a heavy sigh.

The old butler didn't know what was unexpected, so he only heard General Zhou say: "However, if it's her, I feel much more at ease."

And Hualou and Donghua walked out of the Zhou Mansion, and they walked slowly on Jinxiu Street. There was always a faint mist in Hualou's eyes, as if he wanted to cry, but he never cried out. Donghua's heart was tugged at, causing a slight pain.

"What did the old general tell you?" Donghua asked slowly.

Hua Lou looked at him and shook his head slowly, and said: "Actually, we were too worried, we were worried that he would follow Yun Xiao, but before I said it, he already knew our reason for coming; I thought that what happened to Zhou Wei would hit him too hard, but we didn't know that he had already seen all the puzzles clearly."

"Donghua, am I too stupid?"

When Hualou finished speaking, Donghua shook his head slightly, and gently pulled her into his arms. She must have remembered some past events.

"It's okay, I'm here." Donghua whispered in her ear.

Now that Shen Qingqiang and Shen Dong from the Shen family are dead, Shen Lianyi and the others are irrelevant to her.

It seems that now, the most important person is already by his side, so there is no need to look for it.

When they hugged each other, they never expected to be bumped into by Yun Xiao who came back.

Yun Xiao stood not far away, Donghua slowly let go of the painting building, took her hand and walked slowly over.

"Prince Yun is back." Donghua said indifferently.

And Yun Xiao seems to have not accepted the fact that his eyes are locked.

"So there is such a good show!" Yun Xiao looked at the painting building and said with a sarcasm.

Hua Lou curled his lips slightly: "There are many good shows that you don't know about, Yun Xiao, you can't blame me, and don't think that all your grievances over the years are caused by me!"

"But you are the one who suggested that I go to Yunguo!"

"It's me, but you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, pretending to have amnesia and forget everything here. You are the one who did all these things. You can't blame me for this."

"It's you who have left her for so many years, ignored her, and never heard from her, how can you blame me!" Hualou said in a deep voice.

Hearing these words from Hualou, Yun Xiao tightly held his hands together, yes, how could he blame her?

Seeing Yun Xiao standing there in a daze, Hualou and Donghua passed by hand in hand, not paying attention to some things.

The relationship between her and Yun Xiao is not that good, they are just acquaintances, if he treats Zhou Mao better, or if they get married, then Hualou and the others will definitely list him as one of their own.

But the fact is that he is sorry for Zhou Wei, Hualou and the others will not accuse Yun Xiao of anything, but Hualou will definitely not talk about it when arguing, so without Zhou Yao, there is nothing between them.

Zhou Wei has already left, and now there is nothing in the palace that the painting building needs to pay a lot of attention to.

Therefore, for a long period of time, Hualou did not return to the palace.

Ru Yang and Ah Jiu also lived in the palace, and the palace gradually became lively.

Hua Lou originally thought that she could live in such a safe and sound way, at least for a while, but unexpectedly, Li Qin rushed over in a panic, breaking all the peace.

Hualou looked at Li Qin who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes suddenly changed.

"Eunuch Li, why are you so flustered?" Her voice was calm and even slightly hostile.

Li Qin glanced at Donghua who was standing aside, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Madam, Your Majesty has eaten something bad today, and has been coughing up blood, and the imperial doctors are helpless, so the old servant took the liberty I came to find you, please return to the palace!"

Hualou stood on the steps, looking at the leaves blown by the breeze not far away, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and Li Qin raised his eyes and saw her faint smile recently, but that expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"Eunuch Li, get up, hasn't the Tai Hospital found out the reason?" Hualou asked in a deep voice.

"No."

"If they haven't found out the reason, then I'm sure I won't be able to either. In this way, you should go to the Su residence and find Mr. Su to enter the palace to show the emperor what's going on!" Hualou's words had already come out, If the painting building does not go back, what can Li Qin do?
"Your Majesty, your majesty kept calling your empress's name when he was in a coma. Even if you couldn't diagnose the symptoms, this old slave should ask you to go back to the palace!"

"I'll be back soon, you go and invite Mr. Su into the palace."

After Li Qin left, Donghua stood by the side of the painting building and slowly held her hand, and asked slowly, "Do you want to go back and have a look?"

"No, Su Zhi will definitely go in." After Hualou finished speaking, he turned around slowly and entered the room with Donghua.

Looking at Hualou's expression, Donghua's eyes twitched slightly, as if thinking of something, no wonder she looked so relaxed during this time, it turned out that it was only because she was waiting for the result.

What kind of result to wait for, maybe he already understood.

"Ah That's good."

But what kind of grievances does this Su Zhi have with Donghe?They don't know yet, so they wait for what will happen after Su Zhi enters the palace.

Hualou and Donghua went to Qingyan Pavilion for dinner, and they happened to meet Dongchen and Moli. Now that Zhou Wei is gone, Lu Yi is busy in the palace. Together, such a day should have been very good.

It’s just that what happened in Zhongcui Palace that day, Dongchen always felt that Hualou should not be so cruel to Yun Xiao. After all, the person is already dead, so what will happen if he takes a look at it, and it’s fine if he doesn’t let Yun Xiao see him. Don't let me see you either.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but the anger returned to anger. He slapped Hualou, and Hualou followed without saying a word. His heart was full of guilt again.

Now two stops across the street, because Donghua is standing beside Hualou, so Dongchen has to salute Donghua no matter what.

Just looking at Hualou's calm face, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Come over for dinner?" Hua Lou asked.

"Ah."

"Then what are you doing standing here? Go up." After Hua Lou finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked to the front. Dong Chen frowned slightly when he saw her actions, and Mo Li also looked at Dong Chen worriedly, only to see his expression was stern. upset.

If it was after going upstairs, it would be good for Hualou to enter their private room before, but she followed Donghua and walked into the private room next door.

Although she spoke and greeted her, she was still angry in her heart.

With such a slap, he hit it without hesitation, but Hualou thought that he would not hit it down, he thought that Hualou would fight back.
