Emperor Qingming said this sentence from the bottom of his heart at this time, not for no reason——
Half a month ago, he personally wrote a secret Edict and sent it to Dingnan palace in Ningyang.
Just yesterday, he received a reply from Dingnan king——
At the thought of the letter that didn't even look like it was written by Wu Jun, the emperor felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, which made his internal organs dry and painful.
He explained in detail the current situation and the difficulties faced by the imperial court with Wu Jun on the secret decree, but the old man only returned to him - since the situation is so, I hope your majesty can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to solve the difficulties.
Doesn't he know to deal with it as soon as possible?
The reason why he spread this secret message in the past is obviously to let Wu try to help him settle the chaos as soon as possible!
The old man is just pretending to be confused and waiting to see his jokes!
He had already seen that the Wu family in Ningyang, who always boasted of being superior, had never regarded him as an emperor!
At the beginning, he sent a daughter to the palace as Queen. It was also a high attitude. It seemed that he couldn't look up to his royal family. It was like great grace and condescending to agree to his marriage proposal
Since he received his reply yesterday, he has been thinking that if his second brother was sitting in his chair today, would the Wu family stand idly by?
No matter how many times he thinks about it, the answer is the same - never!
Therefore, these so-called gentry are actually the most hypocritical and hateful!
Including his queen, he has never been with him at all
In the sight, the willow twigs swayed gently, the breeze wrinkled the blue waves, and the cat slept soundly on the boulder. It was a cool and comfortable picture, but it could not calm the emperor's anger at all. Instead, it made his anger more and more prosperous, eager to find an outlet to vent.
"Stop -" emperor Qingming suddenly opened his mouth.
Hearing this command, the Dragon chariot was quickly put down smoothly.
"Your Majesty wants to get some cool?" Li Ji said with a smile. "This is really a clean place. Your majesty can go to the pavilion and sit for a while."
Emperor Qingming was noncommittal and walked slowly towards the huge stone.
Through the willow branches and leaves, the sun sprinkled bits of broken gold on the cat, making the oily and shiny fur more beautiful.
However, with the approach of emperor Qingming, under the shadow brought by his tall body, the broken gold color around the cat was covered.
At this time, Tianfu seemed to be aware of the approaching danger and suddenly jumped up vigilantly.
For a moment, the cat's hair stood up, his face began to show a fierce color, and his mouth also made an unfriendly cry.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Qingming spilled a sneer from his lips and teeth.
It's not that I haven't seen him, but it's still such a ferocious look that I'm going to rush up at any time. It's really a good cat raised by the queen!

"Catch this beast to me..." emperor Qingming's eyes were very cold, but there was a faint and strange color of excitement: "be careful. If you accidentally fall into the pool, the queen would be sad."
Li Ji was stunned when he understood the meaning of this remark.
Why did the emperor compete with a cat?
This is clearly dissatisfied with the Wu family, but it's not easy to attack, so I want to vent this dissatisfaction on the Queen's cat
Although your Majesty's pattern is not always big, it's so small... Isn't it driven crazy by many recent troubles?
Looking at the vigilant cat with a silver lock hanging around his neck, it was obvious that he was raised with his heart. He also raised two cats in private. Li Ji, who was also a cat lover, couldn't bear it. However, the emperor's orders could not be violated.
I had to order the palace people to come forward and surround the flower cat.
Behind the flower cat was the pond. Seven or eight palace people surrounded the road they could escape without leaving a gap.
A eunuch rushed up to catch the flower cat.
The cat was sharp and avoided quickly. However, at this time, a bodyguard took out the slingshot used to drive cicadas, and a flying stone hit the cat heavily on the back leg.
"Meow!"
Tianfu was frightened and hurt, making a harsh cry.
Emperor Qingming's mood was somehow more comfortable, and there was some regret - unfortunately, he didn't hit his head.
The idea just appeared, but the next moment his pupils suddenly shrunk.
The flower cat suddenly jumped up and rushed at him like crazy!
The seemingly small cat jumped like this and looked ferocious. It was frightening like a beast. Emperor Qingming subconsciously retreated, but it was still late——
The flower cat pounced on his chest, and its four claws hung tightly on his robe like sharp hooks. Its two front claws were raised and scratched at him!
Li Ji turned pale with surprise.
He has kept a cat for many years. He doesn't know that once the cat is frightened... It's another animal! Although you're not big, you can really beat you up and doubt your life!
Although he inevitably felt that the emperor deserved something, but the emperor was the emperor. Li Ji could only shout "escort!" and tried to pull the cat off.
With their joint efforts, the flower cat was "pulled out".
A group of inmates gathered around again.
In the chaos, an internal supervisor seemed to stumble over something and fell here with a "ouch".
Taking advantage of this gap, Tianfu jumped over the inner prison and ran away quickly.
The inner supervisor climbed up and sat up. The face raised was xiaochenzi's right.
"Where's the cat?"
"Seems to have run away!"
"Don't worry about cats or not... Help your majesty back and ask the imperial doctor!" Li Ji said nervously looking at his majesty, who was badly scratched.
The Qingming emperor, whose neck and jaw were scratched to see blood, was helped back to the Dragon chariot, shaking with anger.
He was beaten by a cat!
And this group of waste even let the cat run away!
He glanced at the emperor, who was very embarrassed, and Li Ji sighed at the bottom of his heart.
So, it's bad to be in a bad mood. What do you do to provoke other people's cats
Does the emperor feel that he was in a good mood before?
……
Tianfu was frightened and ran out of the imperial garden all the way, copying the deserted path and out of the dark court.
Even in the daytime, the door of the dark court is closed.
The cat found the dog hole in the corner and went in.
The door of the old courtyard in the dark court had already been damaged. Tianfu squeezed in through the gap under the door panel and came to a room with a big hole leaking from the collapse of half of the roof.
The already uninhabited house is full of moldy smell due to rain leakage. A bed and a wooden cabinet are old.
Tianfu walked around behind the wardrobe that was placed against the wall.
It was said that it was placed against the wall. Because the corner of the cabinet was against the wall, there was a gap in the middle. Tianfu was able to go down to the basement along the entrance hidden under the cabinet. When he first came back, the flower cat thought he was lucky to find the mouse nest and was ready to kill.
At the entrance was a stone ladder, on which the cat's claws stepped lightly and silently. However, the people in the secret room noticed it.
"Here you are..."
It was a husky, slow voice.
Tianfu "meow", as if in response.
In the dark, the man sat up and stretched out his hand towards it.
Tianfu ran over and rubbed his head against his hand.
The big hand picked it up in front of him and soon found the abnormality: "injured?"
Tianfu couldn't answer, and the man didn't need it to answer. For the time being, he put the cat on the blanket in front of him, moved his body, stretched out his hand, fumbled for the fire fold on the small table, and lit an oil lamp.
The narrow chamber of secrets was soon filled with light.
The man's appearance became clear.
The gray hair is loosely tied on the top of the head with an old shiny wooden hairpin. It is a gray robe. The skin color is unusually pale all year round, and even small blood filaments under the skin can be seen.
He sat there and looked at the cat's injured leg.
"Fortunately, it's not serious... Thicker skin and meat is also good." he took out a bottle of medicine from the box at the end of the couch, crushed it, pressed it on the wound of the flower cat, tore a cloth towel, wrapped it firmly, and tied a small bow at the end.
"Remember to be careful next time. I've taught you how many times. It's best to avoid seeing people..." he sighed: "it's good to have someone to support and enjoy happiness, but don't lose your guard."
Tianfu didn't know whether he understood him or not, and he gave a "meow" from time to time.
While talking, the man's hand touched its neck and skillfully opened the long-life lock.
It's a reply
Aware of something hidden inside, the man took out the note with a slight tremor of his fingers.
From the moment the flower cat walked into the secret room, he was wondering whether he would bring a reply. First, he chose to apply medicine and bandage to the cat. Of course, it was something he really wanted to do, but another important meaning in his subconscious mind was that he didn't dare to hurry to see
He is afraid of seeing bad news.
Over the years, he has experienced everything that ordinary people can't imagine. The reason why he can survive today is his responsibility for his wife and children, which has long become the only sustenance for him to live
If something really happens to his wife and children
Even if he just thought about it, he felt he couldn't face it and accept it.
But after taking out the note, his action became urgent uncontrollably.
Looking at the lamp, the man's eyes shook and rejoiced.
It's Tian'er!
When he left that year, Tian'er was more than twelve years old. He had taught the child since he was four years old. Even if the handwriting had changed after improvement, it was not difficult to find that it was written by Tian'er as long as he distinguished it with his heart!
His son is safe.
The man breathed a heavy sigh of relief and unloaded the heavy stone from his heart.
But looking at what was written on the note, I couldn't help but worry and doubt again.
Some time ago, he was indeed ordered to prepare poison. The messenger brought many requirements, colorless and tasteless, disease-free and no solution. He had to do his best
As for who the poison was used against, it was not his responsibility or even his concern.
A person who has been locked up here for 18 years can no longer be called a complete person. He has long been numb to all the so-called right and wrong outside.
The note in his hand was small, and there were few places to write. It was only a few words, which was difficult to explain in detail, and he could not distinguish too much.
But how did Tian'er find him step by step?
This must be helped by others
Looking at the flower cat lying in front of him, the man's eyes hesitated.
Human death can also be divided into two kinds.
One is physical death, and consciousness disappears from this world.
The other is his - no one knows he's still alive, and he can't appear in front of people again.
Therefore, he always felt that he had been dead for many years.
However, when his family knew that he was still alive, he seemed to suddenly live again, regain his original identity and position in the world, and have a new connection with the world... "Resurrection from death" is naturally a great joy in life.
But he would rather die forever——
It's better than now that Tian'er takes all kinds of risks for his affairs. I don't even know whether he has been used by intentional people, so he is involved in the dangerous vortex!
His use is not to add a full life talisman
If Tian'er is safe and doesn't give birth to right and wrong, it's easy to say, but if he really touches the secret he shouldn't touch
Because of these uncertainties, the man didn't know whether the letter should be answered or not.
Hesitating, suddenly the sound of the wooden cabinet being moved came from above.
The man's eyes changed. He wanted to blow out the oil lamp, but he didn't blow it. After the oil lamp is lit, there will be a smell that can't be dissipated for a moment. The more he is eager to turn off the lamp, the more he wants to cover up
So I just put away the note and picked up the medical book on one side.
"Don't make a noise..."
He whispered to the cat in front of him and hid the cat behind the couch.
Walking in was a gray haired eunuch. He was thin and not tall. At this time, he was carrying a food box in his hand.
"The light is on." the eunuch's tone was very casual.
"Well," the man looked at him with the medical book in his hand, "why did you come so early today?"
I usually come at night.
"There are other errands in the evening, and it's not easy to fake it, so we had to come earlier." the eunuch came over, bent down before the case and put out the food in the food box: "eggplant roast meat and fried chicken breast... They are still hot."
The man didn't speak. He took the bowl of rice and ate it with chopsticks.
His diet, in this dark court, should not be comparable to that of another person.
After all, someone needs him to live well and live as long as possible.
After eating, the man asked the eunuch as usual, "have you heard from my son lately?"
This is the question he asks every few days.
"Everything is fine, but I ran to the city more frequently..." the eunuch told him the news: "I met an old friend and enjoyed the wine very much."
This is the question he must answer. These messages are used to give each other medicine to prolong his life.
But to tell the truth, he didn't know whether it was true or false.
I think most of them should be true.
After all, the other party is still very useful, and his mind can be called meticulous. If he brings lies from beginning to end, he can't hide it from the other party for 18 years.
"Old friends?" Qiao Biying asked, "are you the second master of the town government?"
Although he hasn't left this secret room in recent years, he knows the general situation of Tian'er. Some are out of a father's sincere concern, while others are to distinguish whether what he hears is true or false.
"Yes, I heard that he went to the 'Pingqing Hall'..." the eunuch was used to his temptation and only answered truthfully what he knew.
The man nodded, and there was nothing strange on his face.
Tian'er often goes to the city and meets a lot with the second master of the town government
So... Will it be the town government?
