?After General Peng's Fa-rectification, no one in the court talked about this matter, and the fight against corruption seemed to have come to an end. After all, a big fish like General Peng was enough to serve as a warning, and the court returned to calm.It's just that Nuo Xu took leave of absence for several days in the name of the funeral, and Huai Jun was happy not to see him.And without Nuo Xu's court, without the voice of debate, everything has stabilized.

On the day after tomorrow, Huai Jun went to court early, and when he came to court, he put aside his business and went to Zhaohe Hall.At that time, Chen Pu was eating lunch under Ah Fu's watchful eye. He didn't make a fuss, just ate mouthfuls, but from his expressionless face, it could be seen that he still didn't know how to eat.

It seems that when he lost his voice, he also lost his sense of taste, not only the taste on the tip of his tongue, but also he could not feel the joy and sorrow in this world.

After Huai Jun came over, Ah Fu retreated knowingly.

He watched Chen Pu's meal intently, and when he saw that he had finished eating, he brought him a bowl of soup and said eagerly, "Pu'er, have some soup."

Chen Pu didn't even look at him, just took the bowl and drank obediently.

After he finished drinking, Ah Fu brought in the medicine at the same time.He looked at the pitch-black medicine, frowned, but still just took the bowl, closed his eyes and gulped down the medicine.

In the past, when Chen Pu saw the decoction, he would definitely avoid it, and Huai Jun had to persuade and coax him before he was willing to drink half a bowl.Although Chen Pu was drinking the medicine in silence now, Huai Jun still coaxed him softly.

"After drinking the medicine, I will recover as soon as possible. If you want to beat me and scold me, I will do whatever you want. Take care of your body obediently. I swear that I will never hurt you again, and I swear that I will treat you well in the future." Huai Jun repeated his words for many days, but Chen Pu still didn't respond.

His heart, which was numb due to Huai Jun, could no longer make any waves for Huai Jun.

Seeing him finish drinking the medicine, Huai Jun said, "Come on, Pu'er, I'll give you the medicine."

After hearing this, Chen Pu put down the bowl, walked directly to the bed, took off his pants, and then lay on the bed, with his legs slightly apart, staring blankly ahead, waiting for Huai Jun to heal his pain that was no longer so painful. Apply medicine to the wound.

From the initial resistance to the current obedience, it was just that he had lost the strength to struggle.That's what he thought, instead of wasting his efforts in vain, it's better to let Huaijun follow suit, lest he force himself again and make everyone tired.

Huai Jun rolled up his sleeves, dipped the cold plaster, gently pushed Chen Pu's buttocks away with one hand, and applied the medicine on him.At this moment, Huai Jun felt that the distance between himself and Chen Pu was the closest, but it was only physically close, and the distance between the two hearts was far away, but at least he could still touch his body.

After taking the medicine, Chen Pu couldn't turn over, so Huai Jun sat aside and chatted with him.

"Pu'er, I'll go back to Yongning Temple later." Huai Jun asked flatteringly, "Do you want to go together? We can still go for a walk."

Hearing that he could go out, Chen Pu couldn't help but widen his eyes, and looked at Huai Jun, obviously he was tempted by this proposal.But his rare bright eyes soon dimmed. He remembered that Concubine Jun would blame him for not treating Huai Jun well, and he was ashamed to see Concubine Jun, so he looked away and shook his head.

Being rejected, Huai Jun could only force a smile, and patted Chen Pu's head, comforting him and himself: "Your wound must still be hurting, we will go out to play again after you recover."

"You like Yangzhou, let's go to Yangzhou."

"We can go wherever you like."

Huai Jun suddenly chuckled, and said with ease, "Maybe we will meet Song Leyu, and then you will know that I didn't lie to you." But at the end, his expression inevitably became sad, "Pu'er, You'll forgive me then, won't you?"

After finishing speaking, he silently waited for Chen Pu's answer, but after a long time, Chen Pu neither nodded nor shook his head.

Originally, for him at this moment, he should shake his head ruthlessly, but he couldn't help thinking that if Song Leyu was really not dead, if Huaijun let him see Song Leyu before forcing him, he would definitely forgive Huaijun, but now It is too late to say all this.

It's just that he didn't shake his head, and had already given Huai Jun a glimmer of hope.

Huai Jun chatted with Chen Pu until he fell asleep, then he set off to go back to Cuiwei Palace, changed his clothes, and left the palace to Yongning Temple.It was not yet Shen Shi, and he went there an hour early, planning to see Concubine Jun first.

At that time, Master Mingxin happened to finish his lecture with his disciples. As soon as he came out of the nunnery, he saw Huai Jun and went over to say hello.

"See Your Majesty with a clear heart."

"Master, please." He lowered his voice and said, "I came to see my mother today, so there is no need to make it public."

"Your Majesty is really a filial son." Master Mingxin said sincerely, after all, Huai Jun had already welcomed Concubine Jun's tablet back to the Ancestral Temple, but he still came here from time to time.

"Master, you are laughing." Huai Jun smiled politely, and then said: "The court is too busy these days, and it is rare to have a free day, so I came to see the queen mother."

"No wonder His Majesty's complexion looks a little bad." Mingxin said with a smile: "It's a good thing for His Majesty to be concerned about the country and the people, but one must also pay attention to one's health in order to achieve long-term peace and stability."

"Thank you Master."

"Ming Xin didn't bother the Holy Majesty, so I left first."

Huai Jun stared at Ming Xin's leaving back, and suddenly a few words appeared in his mind, so he called Ming Xin, "Master, please stay." After finishing speaking, he walked up to Ming Xin and said: " Master, I counted my fate on the street before, please explain it to me, Master."

"Please say."

"The fortune-teller gave me four sentences-you must know that there is a cliff ahead, and the shore is at the back. If the leaves are not serious, the bitterness will be the end."

After Mingxin listened, he thought about it for a while, and thought to himself, there are many charlatans in this world, but if the words are insignificant, he thinks that as long as the person is not talking nonsense, he must be a genius with open eyes.

"These four sentences have simple meanings. With His Majesty's knowledge, it's not impossible to understand them. It's just that His Majesty understands the meaning but doesn't want to believe it." Ming Xin said bluntly, and then asked: "Does Your Majesty remember that a leaf falls a thousand catties?"

Huai Jun nodded numbly, but Ming Xin said half of what was on his mind, but he still didn't understand that sentence, Ye Luo is naturally light, so how could it be heavy.

"If the Holy Majesty couldn't understand those four sentences, I would have asked the mathematician at that time. If the Holy Majesty could understand it, I would ask Ming Xin again at this time, and I would be even more puzzled if I understood everything in it." Frankly speaking, Ming Xin , and told the truth in front of Huai Jun: "The Holy Majesty doesn't know whether to turn back?"

These words hit Huai Jun's heart like a horsewhip, and then he thought that Chen Pu had become like this, he had lost most of his interest in everything, no matter how happy he was, he raised his lips, but covered him. Can't help the haggard eyes.In order to get to Chen Pu, should he turn back?

No.

He immediately had an answer. After so many years of painstaking efforts, how could he just turn back?

He shook his head and thanked, "Thank you master, I won't bother you anymore."

After leaving Mingxin, he came to the western suburbs with hesitation.In fact, since he chose to accept the appointment today, he has shown his determination to continue. Why is he hesitating?

He came to Concubine Jun's grave, bowed three times, and suddenly remembered that when he had just arrived at the coronation ceremony, he met Concubine Jun, Concubine Jun said "that position can't be asked for", and then left three "Don't be persistent" Character.He didn't remember these two sentences in his heart in the past, but after he got everything, he stood in front of Concubine Jun's grave and thought clearly.

He stood there for a long time, opened his mouth after a long time, and sighed: "Mother, Pu'er is angry, I hurt him, he won't forgive me."

As soon as the words fell, a hoarse female voice came from behind: "See Your Majesty."

Huai Jun turned his head and saw that it was the Mrs. Chen whom he saw in Xiangpin Building.

He replied: "Madam Chen, we meet again."

"The women heard that the Holy Majesty was looking for the identity of Young Master Chen, so they boasted that the Holy Majesty of Haikou will definitely agree to the appointment, and please forgive me." Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the name of Young Master Chen would be mentioned again after so many years. .”

For Mrs. Chen, Huai Jun was very suspicious, but back then, all the families were murdered, Nuo Xu was young and had the protection of the late emperor, it was reasonable to escape, it is impossible that even the eldest princess who married Chen's wife could escape.

So he asked: "Madam Chen belongs to Chen Yiyun..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Chen interrupted: "Women can't compete with Young Master Chen. My first husband is a poor relative of Young Master Chen. We are in the honor of Young Master Chen, so people only call us Master Chen and Mrs. Chen."

Although Huai Jun didn't quite believe it, he still felt relieved a little, and asked, "Since Mrs. Chen is Chen Yiyun's relative, why are you willing to tell me about him?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember that the woman said that Rujun and I have known each other since we were young?" She turned to Concubine Jun's tomb with unstoppable sadness in her eyes, "Rujun and I are cousins. Later, we married one after another, but our lives were not happy. I don’t need to say anything about me. Ru Jun’s life is not good. She just married a man with a heart, but she has a good heart and never complains. I passed Young Master Chen, but I was not angry for her, so since the Holy Majesty wants to know about Young Master Chen, I think for the sake of Ru Jun, I should tell the Holy Majesty the truth no matter what."

Huai Jun asked dubiously: "Since the wife and the queen mother belong to cousins, why have I never heard from my grandfather?"

"The relationship between the Chen family and the Zheng family was not very good back then. Since I married into the Chen family, I have cut off contact with the Zheng family. It is normal that your grandfather did not mention me." Mrs. Chen chuckled lightly, but her eyes were full of sadness. , "Holy Majesty, Rujun and I are sisters in love. In front of her grave, I will not lie."

Having said this, Huai Jun couldn't continue questioning, so he turned to the main topic and asked: "Then since Madam invited me to meet, she will definitely tell everything she knows and never hide anything."

"Naturally." Mrs. Chen replied, telling the story, "Since the entire family of the Chen family was copied and beheaded, Young Master Chen has been banned in the capital. The name of Young Master Chen was not mentioned until he overturned the case for the Chen family, but the deceased was already dead. In order to save the late Emperor from being sad, everyone stopped mentioning it under the orders of Young Master Mo and Young Master Fan.

"Speaking of the matter between Young Master Chen and the late emperor, I don't know much, I just heard something from my late husband and Ru Yun..." Mrs. Chen told what she knew, while Huai Jun stood up straight and quietly listen.

The Chen family is the cousin of the former prince, so a seat has been reserved for the Chen family in the princeling party, and Chen Yiyun has been trained as the prince's right-hand man since childhood.Later, Mo Wei, Fan Wenhou, and the late emperor got acquainted with him and became close friends. Many people thought that the Chen family would switch to the sect of the late emperor who was the fourth prince at that time.

But the good times are not long after all. The first emperor and Chen Yiyun had a bad relationship. Both Mo Wei and Fan Wenhou broke up with Chen Yiyun successively, and they created a force to fight against the princelings. However, Chen Yiyun and the princelings got closer and closer, and later married She became the prince's sister of the same father and mother, the eldest princess.Becoming an in-law of the royal family, the prosperity of the Chen family was like nothing else for a while, but Chen Yiyun lost three friends.

"Why did the father and Chen Yiyun turn against each other?" Huai Jun asked sullenly. He always thought that Chen Yiyun was the person he loved the most, but he didn't expect that they would also go farther and farther, which made him think of the current situation between himself and Chen Pu.

"The civilian women don't know about this." Mrs. Chen lowered her eyes and continued: "Later, the prince committed treason and was sentenced to death, and the princelings fell. Except for General Peng and the Chen family, almost everyone was arrested. Expelled from the imperial court. Unexpectedly, when the new emperor came to the throne, the Chen family would be framed, and Young Master Chen died in prison in vain. The late emperor was furious and spent half a month to reverse the case for the Chen family. Only then can we keep it.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiyun's life experience can be considered tortuous, but it is not unusual, and Huai Jun shouldn't have any doubts, but his suspicion of Nuo Xu made him have to think through every word of Mrs. Chen's words.

After a while, he asked, "What about the eldest princess?"

"When the Chen family was framed, the eldest princess was also imprisoned. Later, when she learned of Young Master Chen's death, she also committed suicide by taking poison in prison."

Huai Jun breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, and asked directly, "Do you know Wang Wang's life experience?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Huai Jun hesitantly, and after deep thought, she nodded and said: "Back then, in order to save the young master's life, the eldest princess hugged him to me, and let me send him to the palace to be raised by Ru Jun. Kindness, the young master is not only the descendant of the Chen family, but also the blood of the eldest princess, so she keeps him by her side and educates him personally."

This young master did not reveal his identity, but they all knew that this person was Nuo Xu, Huai Jun cursed secretly in his heart--the mother's heart is beautiful, but she has a white-eyed wolf by her side.Thinking of this, Huai Jun's hatred for Nuo Xu is even more difficult to get rid of.

But leaving aside the grievances between him and Nuo Xu, what is the matter between the late emperor and Chen Yiyun?But he couldn't ask Mrs. Chen a word, and finally he said: "Thank you Mrs. Chen for coming here."

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, Ru Jun's spirit in heaven must be very pleased for you. The woman didn't say much, so she took her leave."

It was dusk when she left, and the setting sun stretched her leaving back extremely long, becoming a shadow under Concubine Jun's tombstone.

Huai Jun stared at the tombstone in a daze for a long time, slowly digesting what Mrs. Chen said, and then said goodbye to Concubine Jun, walked slowly, and left Yongning Temple. ?
