Chapter 501 The storm has arrived
For half a month, Luoan has been suffering from high temperatures, as if the people in the city will be roasted on the fire before they can stop.
The people looked forward to the stars and the moon all day long, and finally at noon that day, dark clouds appeared in the sky. The originally bright sky suddenly dimmed, and a strong wind roared in, rolling up the sky. There was an inexplicable moisture in the dust, which seemed to indicate that a heavy downpour was about to come.
Those who covet the coolness have no time to rejoice, so they quicken their steps and dare not stay outside. Those who return home return home and those who collect their clothes...
The officials under the dark clouds On the road, several horses were galloping, rushing forward desperately, raising dust all over the sky.
The several gates of Luo'an City are all heavily guarded.
The city gate guard saw horses running this way from a distance, and he waved his hand to stop the people for interrogation.
Before he could say anything about ordering him to stop, the horse jumped in front of him, and then, with a whoosh, something was thrown over and fell to the ground.
Just fell at the feet of the defender.
He cursed and grabbed him, pretending to lead others to chase him. After taking a closer look, he immediately fell silent and knelt down.
At the entrance of the Yanshou Hall of Weiyang Palace, there were people waiting anxiously, pacing back and forth, looking into the distance.
Until I saw a chamberlain leading a few tired people, I immediately hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Highness, you are back."
Gongsun Xu breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the visitor.
Of course, it was just a mouthful. No one knew how he had spent the past few days in fear.
But now the dust is not really settled...
Yu Wenjue pursed his thin lips lightly, and walked across the threshold with a calm expression, and walked straight into the depths of the palace. There was no trace of anything on his face at all. mood.
As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, he saw a lot of people waiting at the door. Standing straight at the front was Queen Dugu, followed by the three princes, and several other important ministers.
He had met Empress Dugu several times. Now he did not exchange much greetings after seeing her, and only followed the chamberlain into the inner room.
When Yu Wenjue entered, Yu Wenjue was half leaning on the bed, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap.
Two imperial doctors were guarding the side.
Gongsun Xu followed Yu Wenjue with lowered eyes. He only glanced at the faces of the imperial doctors with his peripheral vision and saw that their faces were heavy. The huge inner hall was surprisingly quiet, so the sound of footsteps falling on the ground was extremely clear. .
Hearing the noise, the sleepy person opened his eyes and looked over. He seemed to be in good spirits.
Yu Wenjue came forward and bowed down: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Yu Wenjue raised his finger and pointed: "The King of Qi is not polite. You have traveled all the way, so sit down and talk."
Yu Wenjue thanked him for the kindness, straightened up and sat down as instructed.
The imperial physician saw that the emperor was in better spirits than before, so he brought some decoction over.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."
Yu Wenjuan sighed slightly and nodded in agreement.
After he took the medicine and rinsed his mouth, he started talking to Yu Wenjue again.
During this period, Yu Wenjue sat quietly with an indifferent expression, completely different from others. No matter whether it was true or false, he always asked questions and showed concern when he saw the holy face.
About the rumors about King Qi's cold temper, the imperial doctors and palace officials had long heard about it. They just thought that since they grew up in different places, their relationship was naturally as close as that of brothers who are incompatible with each other. But even if they only thought about the relationship between monarch and minister, He should also say hello, but now that the emperor is seriously ill, he behaves calmly.
Gongsun Xu was not surprised. It might not be a good thing to see the emperor suddenly become energetic.
He frowned and sighed in his heart.
Yu Wenjuan glanced at the faces of the people present, and he had an idea in his mind.
He waved his hand: "You all go down, I want to have a few words with King Qi alone."
The two imperial doctors looked at each other, then at Yu Wenhui, and then at Gongsun Xu who had already bowed and left, then He also bowed and resigned.
It was said that he was retreating, but in fact he was just standing guard at the door. The palace man carefully closed the door, blocking the queen's low voice from asking.
Suddenly there were only two of them left in the room.
Yu Wenjuan, who was leaning on the bed, stared at the person sitting quietly below for a while.
My heart is like a mirror, this cousin is cold-hearted, but I can’t blame him for all this.
Yu Wenjuan closed his eyes and calmed down before speaking: "Ajue, since the candid talk between you and me at Danxi Villa that day, I hope this is our second brotherly talk."
Yu Wenjue paused for a moment, lowered his head and said, "If your Majesty has any instructions, you may as well say so directly. I will do my best."
When Yu Wenjue saw that he insisted on treating the emperor as a minister, he no longer forced it.
"Before you came back, I always felt that I had a lot of things to entrust you, but when you really came back -"
He looked at the people who had been tired and stained by the dust all the way, and knew in his heart that he must have got the news. , so he rushed back day and night.
Yu Wenjue smiled slightly, and then said: "But I just want to say some insignificant words to you."
Yu Wenjue's face said lightly: "Your Majesty, please speak, I will listen. "
Yu Wenhui nodded slightly: "Actually, I have known you a long time ago."
Yu Wenjue was not surprised. After Yu Wenjue was established as the crown prince, Yu Wenzheng kept him in front of him and taught him step by step.
Sweat broke out on Yu Wenhui's forehead, and he paused and said: "The year I was established as the prince was when you first learned about your life experience. Aweng has always felt that he was indebted to Emperor Xiaoren."
Yu Wenjue narrowed his eyes and smiled: "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, they can only be summoned by others. Since it is his choice, he cannot blame anyone."
Yu Wenjue thought for a moment, and waited for a moment to react. , only then did he understand who the 'he' in these words was referring to, and he said: "The tomb of Emperor Xiaoren is not a tomb."
Yu Wenjue's eyes narrowed and he said nothing.
Regarding old things, Yu Wenhui didn't say much more, only picking up a few important sentences.
He was not in good spirits, so Yu Wenjue did not stay long.
As soon as the door to the inner room opened, everyone present looked over. Yu Wenjue stepped across the threshold and said a few words, and the queen took the three princes to the inner room.
Yu Wenjuan was less than 30 years old. After the death of the crown prince a few years ago, he never established a crown prince. The three current princes are not very old.
Gongsun Xu exchanged glances with several important ministers. Not to mention that Weiyang Palace had been surrounded by heavy troops, and the entire Luoan City. No one could enter or exit at will without the permission of the Holy Order, and someone was sent with a token to pass. According to legend, both West Sima Gate and South Sima Gate are under martial law.
After the arrangements were made, he lowered his head and followed the queen into the inner room.
Yu Wenjue stood alone in the outer hall.
After a while, low crying sounds were heard in the inner room behind him, accompanied by intermittent words.
It is Queen Dugu and several young princes.
Yu Wenjue went to the outer hall.
He stopped at the door, pulled it gently, and the door opened. There was thunder and wind and rain outside.
The cold wind carrying the rain just poured into the Yanshou Hall.
He stood inside the door and watched quietly.
Not long after, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, approaching from far away.
The chamberlain knelt down and spoke briefly.
Yu Wenjue glanced at the storm and was speechless, only sighing.
