The emperor retired from the court, and Huo Tianxiu followed him to the imperial study. General Zhao and the Marquis waited inside early in the morning.
The two of them came every day these days, and the young officials who served them became familiar. They had already prepared tea and snacks. When they saw the emperor coming, they were ready to pick up meals.
Duke Li called the little official and pointed to Huo Tianxiu: "add another breakfast."
The little official replied and retreated.
Duke Li took two tight steps and pushed open the door of the imperial study. Hou ye and old general Zhao got up and saluted. The emperor waved his hand slightly tired.
The four sat down again. General Zhao and Huo Tianxiu both looked at the Marquis and pointed to him.
The Marquis sipped his tea. Although he had thought about this for a long time, it was still really hard to open. He muttered for a long time and said, "the Emperor didn't sleep all night?"
The angry old general Zhao and Huo Tianxiu immediately showed their contempt, and such a nonsense popped up for a long time.
"If you know, stop talking nonsense and say something." The emperor glanced at the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on the marquis.
Originally, the Marquis and General Zhao really only wanted to comfort the Emperor today. When they entered the palace, there was news that the emperor guarded Yirou's body and refused to place it overnight. Now Yirou's body is still lying on the couch in Ci'an palace. What should we do.
At present, although it is autumn, the weather is still hot and tight. I'm afraid the smell will be bad if it is dried like this.
Although all the officials heard the news, no one dared to speak out in the court. This time, even the speech officials shut up. After all, the emperor's move is more affectionate. At this time, he is in mourning and can't express his remonstrance.
"Emperor, it's time to place Princess Yirou's body." The Marquis bit his teeth and said it directly.
"Placement?" The emperor sneered. The smile was self mocking, and there was a layer of helplessness on his face: "where to place?"
"Naturally, I entered the imperial mausoleum." The Marquis looked at old general Zhao and Huo Tianxiu. The emperor took her back to Ci'an palace. Now that she's red, where else can she be buried in addition to the imperial mausoleum?
"But Yirou, she doesn't want to enter the imperial mausoleum..." the emperor raised his head, closed his eyes, and put his right hand in front of his forehead.
The three looked at each other and didn't want to enter the imperial mausoleum?
"That..." Huo Tianxiu just said a word. The emperor's eyes suddenly opened with a 'pop', and the cup he picked up fell. Huo Tianxiu couldn't say what he had in his mouth anymore. The broken cup just hit Duke Li's feet who had just come in to deliver breakfast. He was so scared that he stood at the door and knelt down on his knees in an instant.
Huo Tianxiu's expression is extremely innocent. He hasn't said anything yet
For some reason, the emperor suddenly became angry. The Marquis gently kicked Duke Li's calf, winked and asked him to go out first.
Duke Li bowed his head with gratitude and retreated silently on his knees.
The emperor's complexion was iron and blue. Yu Guanghui caught a glimpse of Duke Li retreating. The Marquis was afraid that Duke Li would be angry. Then he stepped into the emperor's vision and took two steps: "old general Zhao is old and can't stand your shock."
Hou Gonggang said he was safe, and he was solidly kicked by old general Zhao on his ass.
The Marquis turned to look at Huo Tianxiu. Originally, Huo Tianxiu was standing behind him. At this time, he had already flashed aside. The Marquis glared at Huo Tianyin and Yang strange airway: "Huo Tidu is worthy of being born as a bodyguard, and his skill is still so agile."
Huo Tianxiu rolled his eyes: "your mouth is still so eloquent after more than ten years."
The Marquis stepped forward and pointed to him: "it's not your mouth that provoked the emperor's Dragon Yan's anger."
……
"Did I open my mouth?" Huo Tianxiu rolled his sleeve, one hand on his waist, the other pointing to himself, and then walked towards the marquis.
Seeing this, the Marquis immediately retreated and directly retreated behind the emperor. He took another cup of tea and handed it to him. He attached it to his ear and said, "emperor, you see, Huo Tianxiu wants to hit him and continue to hit Ya in front of you."
The emperor held a cup of tea in one hand, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows. He looked at Huo Tianxiu and Hou Ye. The anger that was about to pour out could not be spread out for no reason.
He threw the tea lamp heavily on the table and snorted coldly, "is that enough?"
The Marquis stood behind the emperor and silently compared with Huo Tianxiu: "is it enough?"
"You!" Huo Tianxiu was angry and came out. He found that as soon as the Marquis shrunk his head, he pointed his finger on the emperor's forehead, and he hurried back to his hand.
Although the Emperor didn't see it, he heard Huo Tianxiu's deafening word "you", turned his head and looked at him.
Fortunately, the Marquis played and made trouble. He was still in a degree in his heart. He opened his mouth in time and asked the emperor, "but Princess Yirou still has a wish?"
"She wants to be buried with Du Hanfei." The spirit that the emperor had just held had dissipated, and now he felt more tired. Although his look was still unhappy, his tone was not much angry.
The three people in the imperial study understood why the emperor suddenly became so angry. They thought Yirou would ask the emperor to bypass Du Kun and Du Ming's life with death. Unexpectedly, she asked for the same acupoint of death.
I don't know whether the emperor is angry with her for neglecting her identity, or that she misses Du Hanfei wholeheartedly until she dies, or both, but I don't know which is deeper.
But what they didn't expect was that there was a third reason. She led the hidden pain in the emperor's heart.
All those who knew the pain disappeared, which became the emperor's secret.
For a long time, the emperor has always seemed ruthless, amorous and amorous, but when he suffered the pain, he chose to ignore, ignore and forget.
However, Yirou's death, however, bloody opened his dusty scar, which made the past events he dared not recall in recent years float in front of him.
The emperor went to the window of the imperial study and looked at the mountain for the first time
Have you ever regretted these years?
The Emperor didn't dare to ask himself such a question. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the mountains towering into the clouds.
Do you still blame me these years?
The remaining three people looked at the emperor's rapidly changing face and couldn't decide what plan he was going to make. Old general Zhao and Huo Tianxiu had a tacit understanding. They pounded on both sides of the Duke and motioned him to come forward.
Hou Ye waved his hand again and again. Huo Tianxiu lifted him up and pushed him, and sent him directly.
The Marquis stumbled. In the end, he woke the emperor from his memory and turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at him.
The Marquis smiled, scolded his mother in his heart, but said: "emperor, whether you want to fulfill Princess Yirou's wishes or not, her body can't stay in Ci'an palace. If you haven't made up your mind, you might as well send it to the ice cellar of Dali temple first..."
