The Miracle Doctor’s Two-Faced Toddler

   Chapter 436 [V292] His Daughter (Second)

Nanzhao's situation has been frequent in recent days. First, the female monarch was embarrassed in public and lost her face. Then the sacred objects were stolen, the female monarch neglected her duty, and then it was revealed that her consort was the king of Zhou Yan, all of which made the monarch feel deeply. tired.

   What's even more tired is that the daughter he raised by himself has become such a ruthless and ruthless person, and he abolished her daughter's position as a queen.

   Doesn't he feel heartache?

   Of course it hurts!

  As a monarch, he can’t have only children’s private affairs in his heart.

   He has to think about the world first.

   He does not consider himself an impeccable monarch. He also made many mistakes when he was young, but he understands the right and wrong.

   However, it is precisely because of understanding that my heart is even more bitter.

   In order to avoid the disturbance of the courtiers and the palace of the female prince, he took the queen out of the palace and lived in the house he bought.

  Xiao Diji is the Queen's flesh and blood, and the matter of dethroning her cannot be hidden from the Queen. After the Queen heard the news, she did not blame him, but sat in the room and washed her face in tears.

The monarch    felt that he was out of breath.

   In the afternoon, he got on the carriage and went to the Gu Palace.

   Gu Palace is as famous as the National Master Palace, and they are also called the two peak forces of Nanzhao. The difference is that the Gu Palace is located in a corner, and the National Teacher Palace is closer to the monarch.

   But only the monarch himself understands that in his heart, there is no distinction between the Gu Palace and the National Master Palace, and even after the death of the old national teacher, the only person who can trust him is the old Confucius in the Gu Palace.

   Lao Kong Gu is many years older than the monarch, and has reached the age of old age.

   He has not asked about world affairs for a long time, and he will stay at the Gu Palace to retire with peace of mind.

   He has a secluded courtyard. During the day, someone will come to clean it and prepare his meals for the day. In addition, he is the only one in the courtyard.

   His body is still strong, his ears are sharp and his eyesight is clear, and he is not worried about falling.

When the    king came to see him, he was plowing in the backyard.

   "This kind of thing, leave it to the servants to do it, the dignified Gu Palace, can I still eat a piece of food without you?"

  The monarch stepped forward as he spoke, stretched out his hand to pick up the **** in his hand, and helped him back along the way.

  Kong Gu smiled, handed him the hoe, and let it go.

   His hands were full of silt, fearing to stain the dragon body of the king.

   Kong Gu smiled and waved his hand, signaling the monarch to go first.

  The monarch did not insist on helping him. He took the **** and walked out of the backyard. He put the **** in the corner, and did not forget to look back at Old Kong Gu who was walking slowly.

  Old Kong Gu is getting old in the end, and his pace is not as steady as the young man. He walked extremely slowly and staggered slightly.

   He walked to the water tank, stretched out his skinny hand, grabbed the water ladle hanging on the branch, filled half a bucket of water, washed his hands carefully, and then invited the monarch to his tea room.

  The tea room has large windows and bright light.

  There is no extra furniture in the tea room, only a cabinet against the wall and a low table in the center.

  The floor was clean and spotless.

  The two took off their shoes and stepped into the tea room.

  Kong Gu walked to the front of the cabinet, opened the door, took out a cushion and handed it to the monarch.

  He doesn't often entertain guests here, there is only one cushion, which he usually sits on.

  The monarch took the mat and sat down opposite him.

  Old Kong Gu supported the short case with both hands and sat down slowly.

The monarch    sighed when he saw that he was a little overwhelmed and said, "Does the servant still come here for cleaning and cooking? Don't you leave someone by your side to serve you on weekdays?"

   Kong Gu didn't like to drink hot tea when he was a child, and the tea he had here was cold.

   He picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of herbal tea for the monarch, and said in an old but breathless voice, "I can still walk, and when I can't move, ask someone to take care of me."

   This is not the first time that the monarch persuaded him, and the answers he got were never fresh.

  The monarch then stopped talking.

Kong Gu took out a food box from the short case, and opened it slowly with his inflexible hands: "Your Majesty is lucky, someone just sent a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes this morning, I remember that Your Majesty loved it when I was young. I don't know if I like it now or not."

   "I won't eat it now," said the king.

  When he got old, the imperial doctor would not let him touch sweets. He thought about it a few years ago, but now he has given up.

   "Ah, you seem to have said it last time, your memory is not good." Old Kong Gu took a piece and ate it with great interest.

  The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is soft and glutinous, and it melts in the mouth. He likes it very much.

  The monarch drank tea slowly.

   Neither of them spoke.

   But not embarrassed.

   The monarch felt a long-lost peace in his heart.

   After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Kong Gu asked the monarch, "Has Your Majesty's mind gone?"

  The monarch has come and gone, and sometimes he can be liberated without saying a word, but today, he shook his head: "Not yet."

  Old Kong Gu stretched out his arm and said, "What's new in the Imperial Capital recently?"

The monarch lowered his eyes, and said with difficulty after a long while: "I have no children in my life, I accept this life, to protect Nanzhao's luck, I also accept my own flesh and blood to send out of Nanzhao, but why do children raised with heart still be disappoint me?"

   Kong Gu took a sip of tea: "This one is disappointing, isn't there another one? Wait until that one disappoints you too, and then act like this desperate look."

  "..." I can't answer you like this.

  The king sighed and said: "The old national teacher had a prophecy, 'Nanzhao's qi will be exhausted, good fortune and bad luck will be born, seeking fortune and avoiding evil, or there may be a turning point,' now it seems that it is really just 'or maybe'."

   Kong Gu didn't answer.

The monarch    didn't really want to ask for advice when he came to him.

   Sit quietly for a while.

The monarch    said: "Gu always asks me to find the child back then?"

   Kong Gu took a sip of tea: "I can't find it."

  The monarch has a meal.

   heard Old Kong Gu say again: "Let's see if I can invite you back."

   Monarch frowned, just as what was going to happen, Kong Gu opened his mouth with a sigh rather than a sigh: "People are not plants, how can they be ruthless? Hearts are full of flesh. You didn't want her at the beginning, but now you expect her to want you?"

  "..." Can you stop choking people like this when you keep talking?

The monarch    said coldly, "I didn't say I would recognize her!"

   "Oh." Old Kong Gu took another sip of tea.

   At this point in the conversation, the monarch finally felt a little embarrassed, but it was only him who was embarrassed. A man of Old Kong Gu's age was no longer disturbed by the world, and he was very comfortable.

   The monarch's heart was a little blocked: "She grew up in the countryside, who knows what she will look like, and I have a nephew from the side, who is no worse than Di Ji."

   Lao Kong Gu went on to drink tea.

   The monarch sat upright and said, "She is the fate of the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, will I bring this little disaster star back to bring disaster to the common people?"

   Kong Gu said: "Your Majesty is not a Lonely Star, and I have not seen His Majesty have many sons and more blessings."

  Really, I'm really going to be **** off by this old guy...

Old Kong Gu said again: "The old national teacher said back then that good fortune and misfortune are born, Your Majesty must not forget, that misfortune and misfortune depend on, fortune and misfortune lie in, the secrets of heaven are beyond what you and I can understand. Since this The one who brings blessings fails to bring blessings to the common people, so how can His Majesty determine that the one who is in trouble will bring disaster to the world?"

   The monarch could not say a word.

When he sent the infant Emperor Ji out of Nanzhao, he was opposed by many courtiers. Niudan was the most violent one. He said that the world was in chaos, he came to make peace, and there was going to be a war. Blame what a swaddle doll does.

   He didn't listen to Niudan.

   Old Kong Gu didn't stop him, but his eyes clearly didn't agree with him.

   But after that, Kong Gu seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and he never mentioned it until he abdicated. He thought that Kong Gu had forgotten about the child long ago.

   "Have you always remembered her?" the monarch asked, "Do you also think that I did something wrong back then?"

   Mr. Kong Gu didn't answer him, but said: "Before the old national teacher died, he came to see me in the old palace of Gu. Does your majesty know what he said to me?"

"What did he say?"

   "He said two words."

   "What word?" asked the king.

   "Strange." Kong Gu said.

"strangeness?"

   Kong Gu nodded: "Yes, it's just weird, but what is he wondering about, he didn't say anything."

The    monarch fell into contemplation.

   Kong Gu's old words changed the point: "The child grew up in the folk, I am afraid that he has suffered a lot, and his parents don't want her."

   For more than 30 years, the monarch doesn't remember what the child looked like, and he doesn't even remember whether he held her when she was born.

   But he remembered that snow.

  Nanzhao never snows.

  The night she was sent away, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky.

   Concubine Yun cried and said, please send it away later, the child will freeze to death on a heavy snow day.

   The child looked at him with wide, curious eyes.

   Xu did not know that he was about to be abandoned.

   I thought I was going out to play, and my calves kicked very hard.

   He turned around.

  The palace door closed coldly.

   Outside the palace gate, the child's heart-wrenching cry was heard.

   He never looked back once.
