Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

With the arrest of King Wei Mao of Xiang, the sensational assassination of the prince was temporarily brought to an end. Wei Zhao also returned Tuoba Xianhan to Wei Chongrong, and asked him to return to Qingjia, so he didn't have to part ways with Huo Yingying.

Although Wei Chongrong has been in correspondence with Wei Zhao, many things are inconvenient to say in the letter. Besides, Yujing and Qingjia are separated by thousands of miles, and it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, so I can only say one thing. Presumably, all the details have been omitted.

Therefore, when Wei Chongrong saw Tuoba Xianhan, he had a lot to ask him. He didn't even give him a chance to say hello to Huo Yingying, so he dragged him to the study, leaving Jun Hua and Huo Yingying looking at each other.

Wu Liuliu's eyes rolled, and Junhua asked Huo Yingying, "Sister Huo, do we want to go over?" Wei Chongrong and Tuoba Xianhan should have something they couldn't hear.

Huo Yingying blinked and nodded lightly, "Why not? Of course I want it." After leaving Yujing for more than a month, she was always frightened. Xianhan finally came, and she still couldn't see whether he was fat or not. After losing weight, the whole person was taken away by Wei Chongrong.

Jun Hua and Huo Yingying are both actionists. They will do whatever they want without delaying. The two exchanged glances, and then moved lightly towards Wei Chongrong's study, intending to understand the content of their conversation.

Outside the study, Junhua and Huo Yingying had a small dispute over where to hide. Junhua felt that the roof was more open, and even if he was discovered, he could escape in time. Huo Yingying felt that the next room was safer and could hear it more clearly.

Before they could agree, Wei Chongrong coughed lightly in the room and said calmly, "Huaixi, Yingying, since you are here, why don't you come in?" Where to hide and eavesdrop, are they kidding him?

Hearing Wei Chongrong say this, Junhua was rude and pushed the door directly into the house: "You didn't say we could enter?"

Wei Chongrong rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said angrily, "I didn't say you were not allowed to come here, right?"

Huo Yingying wisely did not say a word, reducing her sense of existence. She quietly moved to Tuoba Xianhan's side and looked at his face carefully. big difference.

Tuoba Xianhan looked at Huo Yingying and hooked her lips, with a shallow smile in her eyes, looking like she was in a good mood.

Wei Chongrong sat on the chair behind the desk, he pulled Junhua's hand, let him sit on the armrest, and continued the previous topic: "Xianhan, are you sure that you haven't noticed anything unusual about King Zhao? "

Tuoba Xianhan nodded with a very serious expression: "It's true that there is no way to return to the eldest son. King Zhao is on a temporary post in the Ministry of Rites. Apart from going to the Ministry of Rites every day to do errands, he stays in the palace, rarely dealing with courtiers, and not very much. Love interacting with people."

"How could this be?" Wei Chongrong said to himself while holding Junhua's hand and playing in his hand: "Is he not in contact with anyone? Including the people from the Yue Guo Gongfu?" Princess Zhao It is from the government of the Yue Kingdom, and it is the same for people from the Shangguan family who have something to do with it.

Tuoba Xianhan shook his head, with a hint of doubt on his face: "In the month and a half that my subordinates followed Zhao Wang's mansion, I have never seen Zhao Wang and the people of Yue Guo's government meet in private, but it is Zhao Wangfei, who will be there every three days. I love going back to my mother's house. However, the relationship between King Zhao and Princess Zhao is very bad. They sleep in separate rooms at night, and even during the day, they rarely see each other. Once they see each other, they will easily quarrel. Small things can become a fuse, a very standard pair of grudges."

"Is that so?" Wei Chongrong was ashamed, whether it was a girl from the Shangguan family who was not suitable for marrying into the royal family.

In the previous life, Weiyang's queen, Shangguanyan, was also the daughter of Shangguanxuan, and the younger sister of the current Princess Zhao, Shangguanjuan. She and Weiyang also had a rough time, causing the palace to be restless for a moment. After being knocked down, Wei Yang was abolished.

It's just that Wei Yang and Shangguan Yan can't get along, which is understandable in Wei Chongrong's view. Shangguanxuan dominates the government and overtakes Weiyang. Weiyang hates Wu and Wu. He will definitely not like his daughter to be the queen, and he will not hope that Shangguanyan will give birth to a direct son who will inherit the throne in the future.

But there is no such reason for Wei Lan and Shangguan Huan. Shangguanxuan is a very conscientious person, he knows what to do under what circumstances, he was a powerful minister in the Taiping Dynasty, but in the Tai'an Dynasty, he is Wei Ming's most admired minister.

Regardless of whether Wei Lan has the ambition to be in the position or not, having a father-in-law like Shangguanxuan who is in the heart of the emperor is a good help. He really doesn't like Shangguanyan, so it's not impossible to offer someone up and take another concubine, why bother Don't get along with your own princess.

Tuoba Xianhan thought for a while, and then added: "Although Zhao Wang and his wife love to quarrel, they are not as quarrelsome as the common people in the market. leave."

Wei Chongrong frowned and didn't speak, Huo Yingying suddenly interjected: "So it's said that they are the prince and the princess, which is not like us, we can cut each other with a knife if we disagree with each other." In her tone, it was revealed that Some inexplicable appreciation.

Hearing that, Junhua was inspired, he couldn't help thinking, and thought about what it would be like to quarrel with Wei Chongrong. In the end, they came to the conclusion that they couldn't quarrel at all, because Wei Chongrong wouldn't quarrel with him, and when he got angry again, he just ignored him.

Wei Chongrong pondered for a moment and asked, "Xianhan, after you leave the capital, will the father of King Zhao continue to send people to watch?"

Tuoba Xianhan nodded and said: "Of course there is, the lord has always been very worried about King Zhao. In addition, the lord asked me to tell Shizi, please make preparations for returning to Beijing as soon as possible, the Marquis of Wuan will come to celebrate Jia soon. ."

Wei Chongrong was puzzled and said blankly, "Why is this? Father and King didn't mention it before."

Tuoba Xianhan cupped his hands and said: "The queen mother is old and her health is not good. After experiencing the assassination of the prince, she was hit hard and became worse and worse. The prince is very worried..."

Wei Chongrong had an epiphany: "I understand." The prince died. He was a peer and was stationed at the border, so it was excusable that he could not return to Beijing. The queen mother is different. That is his grandmother. He has to rush back no matter what. Instead of panicking temporarily, it is better to prepare in advance.

The Empress Dowager is over seventy years old, aging and physical decline are inevitable. Wei Xuan is her eldest grandson. She has been loved by her since childhood. Now walking in front of her, her grief is no less than Wei Ming and Jun Feili. With Kanno's age there, it's really hard to say what the outcome will be.

Half a month later, Huo Qingyang arrived in Qingjia. He didn't come alone, he also brought Huo Qingyue and Huo Feifei.

Wei Chongrong was stunned and said for a while, "Marquis of Wu'an, what's your father's intention?" Compared with Yujing, Qingjia's conditions are worlds apart. His little sister has been bred and eaten since she was a child. Zhao sent here.

Huo Qingyang's face seemed a little heavy, and after a moment of concentration, he pondered: "His Royal Highness is worried that Yujing is about to change, so..."

"Yujing has changed? What happened?" Wei Chongrong frowned, and extended his hands to Huo Feifei.

She hadn't seen her for nearly two years. Huo Feifei didn't remember her brother for a long time. She stared at Wei Chongrong, turned around abruptly, and hugged Huo Qingyang's neck tightly. A little sad, what a conscienceless little thing.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and asked with trembling lips, "Is it the royal uncle..."

The empress dowager died, although it was a national mourning, but it had no impact on the country. An accident that made Wei Zhao feel that Qingjia was safer than Yujing would never be related to the empress dowager. If something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

Huo Qingyang nodded silently: "His Majesty's physical condition can only be said to be average. He has been busy with state affairs for the past few years, and he has never slack off. Fortunately, the Crown Prince is capable and has been sharing government affairs for His Majesty. The Prince was assassinated and the initiator was another of His Majesty. One of the sons, the extent of his blows can be imagined. Then, the Queen Mother was seriously ill and may die at any time. Her Majesty is the most filial person, and several blows are added together... King Lu Wang Neijun saw His Majesty's pulse and said yes If you can’t relax your mind any longer, it’s extremely dangerous…”

Wei Chongrong's brows furrowed deeply. Based on his understanding of Wei Ming's character, if the Queen Mother can't hold on, she will go in the near future. It is impossible not to be depressed. The prince is only Wei Lan.

Huo Feifei didn't know when to turn her head, seeing Wei Chongrong frowning, she stretched out her fleshy little hand and gently smoothed him out.

Looking at the little girl's carefree expression, Wei Chongrong was inexplicably envious. It would be great if people never had to grow up.

However, this thought was short-lived, and Wei Chongrong immediately remembered his vows when he was a child. He wanted to grow up quickly, and he wanted to protect his father. He calmed down and said solemnly, "In that case, I will leave tomorrow and rush back to the capital as soon as possible."

Junhua heard that Wei Chongrong was going back to Yujing, so he started packing without a word. Wherever brother Rong went, he would follow him. This was his principle. As for what he would do, that was not his focus.

Tuoba Xianhan originally planned to go back with Wei Chongrong, but Wei Chongrong left him temporarily, saying that he was to stay in Qingjia and listen to his orders at any time. Tuoba Xianhan didn't leave, so Huo Yingying didn't have to leave, and stayed behind.

On the third day after leaving Qingjia, Wei Chongrong received a funeral report from the capital, and the queen mother died.

Originally, they traveled during the day and rested at night, but the Empress Dowager has already gone, so there can be no longer delays on the way, they must travel day and night, and they must return to Yujing before the Empress Dowager's first seven days.

While Jun Hua was still taking vegetarian Yundan, he was a little overwhelmed by the rush to change horses and not people. Wei Chongrong looked at Jun Hua's pale face, and wanted Dongfang to accompany him to walk slowly, and it would not be too late to go back two days later, but Junhua refused.

Wei Chongrong was helpless, so he could only let Junhua ride with him and have a chance to rest for a while.
