poisonous woman

Chapter 292

On this day, Emperor Xiao Jing recruited Xiao Junjue into the palace, which was related to the fiefdom.

Emperor Xiao Jing held three pieces of paper on which were written Huainan, Jiangbei and Shu, these three places were chosen by Ren Xiaojunjue.

"Which one do you want?" Emperor Xiao Jing got straight to the point.

All three are rich places. Huainan is known as the throat of Zhongzhou and the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangbei is rich in materials and water sources, and it is a land of abundance. Shu is fertile and wild, and it is called the land of abundance.

Not only that, but these three places are still battlegrounds for military strategists.

Seeing Xiao Junjue staring at him blankly, Emperor Xiao Jing smiled, "Choose whatever you like, there is only so much I can do for you."

Xiao Junjue came back to his senses, his face was indifferent, "You don't have to do this for me." His eyelashes drooped, and a crow-colored shadow cast on his lower eyelid, "No matter how much you have done, whether you feel indebted or want to make up for it, My mother will never come back."

Emperor Xiao Jing felt a pain in his heart, "You still hate me? So, even if I want to pass the throne to you, you don't want it."

Xiao Junjue's picturesque eyebrows gathered into a mountain peak, "You kept saying that you were protecting my mother, but how did you protect it? Do you know how our mother and child lived in those years? We ate bran and swallowed vegetables, endured hunger and cold Where were you when she was born? Where were you when my mother was bullied by those women? If these are your so-called protection, I really disagree. Because she died in the end. "

There were tears in Xiao Junjue's eyes, as long as he thought of the inhuman treatment his mother and concubine had suffered in those years, his heart would be cut into pieces. It's not the biggest harm, it's you who hurt her the most, you ignore it, and you let her fend for herself, I know in those years, although my mother didn't say anything, she still had a glimmer of hope for you , but it took too long, that glimmer of hope turned into disappointment, and turned into despair when she was dying. Because before she died, you still didn't show up, and she left with despair."

Shallow strands of gray hair grew out of Xiao Jingdi's temples that were cut like a knife. He was only in his 40s, but he was as old as an old man.

"I'm sorry for her. I know that no matter how I compensate you, I can't make up for the harm I have done to you mother and child, but I still try my best to make up for it. I want to pass this throne to you!"

"Do you think I'm rare?" Xiao Junjue cut off his words.

Emperor Xiao Jing was suffocated, he closed his eyes slightly, and said regretfully: "I know you are not caring, but this is the greatest compensation I can give you. But I never thought that you would ask the order to leave the capital. Do you know that you have a fief prince?" , is no longer destined for the throne.”

Xiao Junjue showed an impatient look on his face, "That's because I'm tired of everything here, tired of fighting for power and profit, tired of the turmoil in the court. I just want to live in peace and stability, and be peaceful and clear." live."

Emperor Xiao Jing's expression froze for a moment, and he fixed his face on him, "Are you really tired, or is it because of some other reasons?" He paused, "I know, Rong Zhao was sent back by King Jin. From your house."

Although he didn't say anything, he obviously knew that this was an exchange between him and King Jin.

Xiao Junjue had a solemn expression, "Are you spying on me?"

"It's not that I'm watching you, but that I'm going to watch everyone in the world." Emperor Xiao Jing said deeply, "It's not that I don't know what you've done in private, but I'm neither stupid nor deaf or a family member, and I've come here like you Yes, it’s fine if you turn a blind eye.”

He suddenly looked at Xiao Junjue, with regret and disappointment in his eyes, "I always thought that you were hard-hearted and would not be moved by anything. I really never thought that you would give up for the sake of a woman. The throne. I think, maybe the marriage at that time was wrong."

But in a blink of an eye, the sharp light in his eyes slowly faded, "But there is never really right and wrong in this world, and maybe it is right."

Xiao Junjue looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

Emperor Xiao Jing looked out of the window. Under the sunshine, the palace of gold bricks and blue tiles seemed to be covered with a layer of gold veil.

This imperial palace is the richest place and a symbol of supreme power.However, it is cold here, because it is made of bones.

He grew up here since he was a child, staying in this place that looks magnificent but is actually gloomy. His heart has gradually cooled down and become icy cold over time.He has become so big on power that he can't even protect the woman he loves the most.

What Jun Jue said was right, he was the one who hurt their mother and son the most.

He keeps saying that he loves his mother, but when their mother and son are suffering, what is he doing?
He intrigues with others in the vortex of power, and he has no energy to think about their mother and son.

He fought all his life, fought all his life, and finally took all the rights in his own hands, but in the end, he would always regret his whole life, because he failed the woman he loved the most.This is what he can't make up for Xiao Jun.

Emperor Xiao Jing looked at a soaring eagle in the blue sky, and felt envious in his heart. Sometimes he didn't want to be like that eagle, flying in the sky, and go wherever he wanted.Unlike him, who was born from this place where the sky can be seen in all directions, he will also die in this place.For a lifetime, like a person living in a box, stuck here forever.

This place is not only confined to his people, but also to his heart.

If he had to choose again, he would definitely not choose to stay here again. He would break free from everything that was tied to him, and then be with his most beloved person.You can go anywhere, the sky is big and the earth is big, just like the eagle, flying endlessly.

"Leaving here, maybe this is the best choice for you. Take her away, go far away, and never come back. I bless you all." Gently closing your eyes, the two lines burst into tears.

He turned his back to Xiao Junjue, Xiao Junjue couldn't see him cry, "Choose one of these three places and go."

Maybe his back was facing, so Xiao Junjue could look at him unscrupulously.Looking at his back, Xiao Junjue felt for the first time that he was getting old.It's not as good as when he was young, his back was straight, his hair was full of white hair, and he was a little hunched, like an old man.

When he was a child, his mother and concubine always described his appearance to him, telling him how handsome and majestic his father was.

She said that his face was like a crown of jade.

She said he was tall and tall.

She said that he could kill two birds with one stone by pulling the bow and rope with both arms.

She said he had black hair, darker than a woman's hair.

She said that his handwriting is excellent, and his paintings are even better, and his paintings are so lifelike.

He is yearning, yearning to see the father emperor in the mouth of the mother and concubine. He hopes to lie on his back and feel the broadness of his father's shoulders. He hopes that he can hold his hand and teach him to draw a bow and teach him to shoot an arrow. , teach him to write, teach him to paint.

He had been looking forward to seeing him.But when he finally saw him, saw this so-called father, there was no longing in his heart, only resentment.

He hated him, he failed his concubine mother, because concubine mother never saw the man she always talked about until she died.

In these years, he never gave him a smiling face, and the number of times he called him father is also very few.Even if I called it, I just thought it was a nice name.

Because he felt that his father was already dead, and died in the fire together with his mother and concubine.

Xiao Junjue's eyes were covered with mist, and he took one of the three cards slowly.

"I've already chosen."

Emperor Xiao Jing didn't look back, he didn't want Xiao Junjue to see his tears, he tried his best to hold back his choked voice, "Okay, let's retire after the selection, I'm a little tired."

"When can I leave?" Xiao Jun looked at his back firmly, and suddenly for the first time felt that she wanted to stay longer.

Emperor Xiao Jing endured it, "Don't worry, wait until this year is over, and spend another year with me."

"Okay." Xiao Jun hesitated and said.

"How is Zhao Zhao? Still don't remember?"

"Ah."

"It's okay, it will get better. I know that she cares about you very much, and she will think of you. I asked Chang En to find some top-quality medicinal herbs and supplements, and you can take them back to her to recuperate her body. She is struggling with pregnancy now, so treat her well." She. If you have time, bring her into the palace, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"it is good."

"Okay, step back." Emperor Xiao Jing's body shook slightly, and he put his hands on the window sill.

Xiao Junjue took a deep look at him, arched his hands, he pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said: "My son will retire, father, take care of yourself."

Emperor Xiao Jing was stunned for a long time, then he turned around slowly.

"Chang En, did you hear that? He is called my father, and he is called my father." His eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, bright enough to illuminate the entire dark night sky, smiling like a child .

Chang En helped him to sit down, and his face was full of joy, "I heard it, I heard it, this old slave heard it, and the general is happy."

Emperor Xiao Jing held Chang En's arm tightly, "I know, this time he is sincere." His eyes were full of tears, and the tears flowed into the wrinkles on his face. He smiled, and the wrinkles kept the tears.

"Chang En, how many years have I been waiting, you know, how many years have I been waiting, I thought that I would never hear him call me Father Emperor sincerely in my whole life, not because of a request, not because of etiquette, but because Shout out from within."

"This old slave knows, of course this old slave knows. My Majesty's expectation for so many years has finally come true, and this old slave is also very happy for my Majesty." Chang En also burst into tears, crying and laughing at the same time.

"What land did he choose?" Emperor Xiao Jing squinted at the note in front of him.

Chang En wiped away tears, "I chose Shu."

"Shu, yes, that place is good. Let's go, after this year, let's go. Let him spend the last year with me, my last year. Cough cough..." Emperor Xiao Jing coughed loudly , Chang En hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and a red plum blossom made of blood bloomed from the snow-white handkerchief. Emperor Xiao Jing held Chang En's hand tightly, "I have done everything I can for him. The concubine mother has an explanation."
