Zhou Muzhi was just six years old when he came to the imperial city with his father. His father was transferred back to the capital from a bitter cold land and traveled all the way. He set off in late autumn. When he arrived at the imperial city, it was already early winter, and heavy snow fell. He peered out of the carriage. He raised his head and looked at the strange scene outside the window with some curiosity.
Deserted and lively coexist, noisy and lonely, the clean and empty imperial city is fundamentally different from the backcountry where he grew up. He looked at this new place cautiously and curiously, a little scared and a little expectant at the same time.
"Does it look good?" My father seemed to smile when he saw that he was looking seriously. His voice was as gentle as jade, with a touch of unpredictable sadness, "Back then, your mother and I also met here."
His mother died in childbirth, and he actually had no memory of her. It was just that every time his father mentioned his mother, she was frightened, and her eyes were full of haze. It was so scary that he hesitated. Suddenly, just as he was about to turn around, his father held his hand.
"Do you like it here, Mu Zhi?"
He hesitated slightly, but out of childish nature, he nodded and said crisply: "I like it."
The place where he was born is a truly remote country, and he has never seen lanterns during festivals. But in this city, there are lanterns hanging high on the treetops along the streets, and the aroma of shortbread mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers lingers in his nose.
"Since Mu Zhi likes it, let's live here for the rest of our lives."
His father's voice was obviously very gentle, but it made him feel inexplicably cold. When he was young, he thought it might be his misunderstanding, but later he realized that children's feelings are the most sensitive.
He didn't know at that time that his father actually didn't like this imperial city, but was greedy for the power and wealth in the city. He thought that his father was still the talented man who was famous all over the world, the glorious man who served the country well as the world said. The people never submit to the powerful champion.
¡ª¡ªHis father was Zhou Fulin, a talented man who once won three yuan in a row, came first in the Jinluan Palace, was the first person at the Qionglin Banquet, and was admired by scholars and scholars!
He was once very proud of his father, so he did not panic when His Majesty personally selected him into the palace to be the prince's companion. He thought that His Majesty valued his father and felt that like father, like son, he was chosen to enter the palace.
Fortunately, he has been studying poetry and books assiduously. Even if he does enter the palace, he will not lose his father's face.
On the day when the decree was handed down, his father's face was ashen and he paced back and forth in the study. At night, he personally brought a bowl of medicine to him and fed him to drink it. The medicine was very bitter and so unpleasant that he almost vomited it out. In the end, he almost vomited it out. The whole bowl was poured down.
As expected, he had a high fever that night and his body was itching unbearably. His father held him and comforted him over and over again: "Mu Zhi, it's okay. Daddy is doing this for your own good. A place like the palace that eats people is not where you should be." Go ahead, just be obedient and get through it, don¡¯t be afraid"
Later, the doctor diagnosed that he had contracted smallpox. Going to the palace to study with him might harm the prince. His father originally thought that he could escape the disaster. Unexpectedly, His Majesty sent an imperial edict to send an imperial physician to treat him. After the imperial physician left, his father fell down. Everything that can be thrown has a gloomy look in his eyes.
In the middle of the night, half asleep, he seemed to see his father sitting beside his bed, touching his face, his palms cold and trembling.
He said: "How can I be worthy of your mother"
The sadness in that tone made his heart ache. He tried to recall his mother, but his memory was blank. His mother left too early, and he couldn't remember anything at all.
After all, he still could not escape the fate of entering the palace as a companion. One month later in the autumn, he was led into the palace by the chamberlain, and met the emperor in Qinzheng Palace. He touched his forehead on the cold jade ground and recited the words he had already memorized. Long words, waiting for the emperor's decision.
The emperor read the memorial with his jaw raised, and only glanced at him with his peripheral vision. For a long time, he smiled as if carelessly. The emperor's smile was very elegant, kind and noble, distant and majestic. It was not scary to look at, but he remembered His father gave instructions before leaving, his eyes averted for a moment, his body slowly started to tremble, and he looked shrinking and cowardly.
The emperor didn't know if he was a little disappointed. He spoke after a long time. First he asked about his health with concern, then praised his father, and finally said after careful consideration: "During the period when Mr. Zhou is ill, the palace has to choose a companion." The dust has almost settled, I think only An'er has not chosen a reading companion due to illness, what do you think, Aiqing?"
The emperor¡¯s words are the imperial edict, what else can others say?
When his father led him out of the Qinzheng Palace, he seemed to be relieved: "Fortunately, it's not the Third Highness."
He didn¡¯t know who His Highness the Third Highness was at that time, and it was rare to see his father like this.The meaning is to save Concubine Shu's life.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand His Majesty. He knew that Concubine Shu was ruthless and even killed his eldest son with his own hands, but why did he still protect her at all costs? He couldn't understand the love of an emperor, just like he couldn't understand why he was It was the same as falling on Li Yunan.
The whole world belongs to His Majesty, but he only worked so hard to protect the woman who killed his son. The royal family is really a group of lunatics, with too many secrets and too many ulterior secrets.
When he thought about all this, he was on the way into the mountain. The newly built Qingxin Temple was a place of long-term confinement prepared by His Majesty for him, far away from the imperial city, where he would never hear the bells ringing or the food being eaten.
His Majesty had imprisoned him for three full years before that. His father was demoted to a minor official because of his corruption. Zhou Muzhi died in that assassination because of his loyalty to protect his master. He is Li Yunhong, wearing a false mask all year round. Li Yunhong.
One morning four years later, the child said that an old friend was visiting. He was practicing alchemy at the time. Hearing this, he was startled: "Where did I get this old friend from?"
"Old friend, he doesn't even have a past, where did he come from?"
"So I'm not an old friend in your heart, so what am I?"
The slender palm fell in front of him, and the familiar voice in his ear almost made his heart stop. It was a long time before he dared to look back. The young man in front of him lost his youthfulness and looked at him with a warm smile, his eyes filled with awe. Sparse sunshine.
"Mu Zhi, you're fine."
During these four long years, the second prince and the queen died of illness one after another. Concubine Shu was never allowed to become a queen because of her relatives, but she finally dominated the palace with one hand.
And the sixth prince, who had always lived in seclusion, finally began to show his talents, which was quite popular with His Majesty. A month ago, King Feng Qing granted him the fiefdom of Huainan, and he will be far away from the imperial city in the near future.
While thinking about this, he walked with Li Yunan on the mountain. After many years, they were no longer the childish children they were before. They were silent for a long time before Li Yunan spoke first.
"I treated you well in the first place because of Lord Zhou's power in the court. I actually knew what the second emperor brother was planning during that time at the Imperial Academy, but I still got involved myself. My mother-in-law was poisoned when she gave birth to me. My mother's family is far away in Huainan, and she has no one to rely on in the court, so she can only live in seclusion and act in a low profile."
"On the day of the Lantern Festival, I also deliberately let you hear those words. Mr. Zhou is close to the second emperor brother, so I have to remind you, hoping that you can send a message to him and let him consider it more. I have treated you well in the past. I¡¯m lying to you, it¡¯s all just an act.¡±
He listened very seriously but did not answer. After a long time, he began to talk about himself: "My father was once a famous talent all over the world. He met my mother that year when he was rushing to take the exam, and he married my mother when he was the top scholar in high school. , but when my mother was pregnant with me, she was demoted to a remote village because she offended the powerful because of her uprightness. Later, my mother died due to lack of medical treatment and medication during childbirth, but my father could only watch from the side and was helpless. From then on, my mother died. Shi vowed not to fall to this level again, he began to be greedy for power and wealth, and climbed back to the imperial city step by step."
"I have actually known for a long time that he is secretly attached to the second prince. My father once sent me a message asking me to keep an eye on you. He has already paved the way for me. I only need to become the second prince's confidant in the future, and then I can rise to the top.
"I have been the queen's wife from the beginning. When uncle Guo was chasing you and me, he actually had no intention of killing me. This is why I haven't died after being chopped with so many knives."
"So, I also lied to you back then." He turned around and smiled at the people around him, as if something was slowly loosening the shackles of the long-term imprisonment. In front of him, there was a bright moon, a clear breeze, and a clear sky: "We are even. .¡±
"It's even" Li Yunan was slightly startled, "Then why did you risk your life to protect me back then?"
The person in front of him had glaring eyes, but he did not give him the answer he wanted. He just smiled casually: "I just made a batch of Qi Nourishing Pills two days ago. It seems to be somewhat beneficial to your natural physical weakness. How about it? ?Want to give it a try?"
The man on the other side replied not to be outdone: "Two days ago, I sponsored Mr. Zhou to go to Xingyang, Qingzhou. There is a letter from home here. Do you want to read it or not?"
The moon on the mountain is like a hook, and the mist is hazy. For a moment, it is impossible to tell the truth from falsehood.
¡°Perhaps, everything in this world is actually half-truth and half-lie.
