The buildings in Hongxiuzhao are all red, which is more beautiful than hanging red lanterns inside the palace walls. This is not a solemn place. The buildings on both sides of the Xiaohuai River seem to be decorated very beautifully. This area is a different scenery in Chang'an City. Chang'an City is square and neat, and the tall walls are a symbol of majesty. Here is a gentle place in the solemn and slaughtering.

The emperor sat at the top of the living room, and Yun Hongxiu stood beside him.

When Park Sung-wan was taken in with several injuries, his eyes were no longer brave and righteous. He thought to himself that the only thing he was thankful was that this was too far from Bohai Kingdom. No matter how powerful the Emperor of Daning was, he would not be able to do anything to his family in Bohai Kingdom.

The moment he saw the emperor, he suddenly had an idea that such a person was Emperor Daning. Although he had seen him for the first time and was not sure what the emperor should look like, the emperor sitting there made him feel that it would be wrong if the emperor did not grow up like this.

"I thought the last method should be crazy, but it turned out to be so unbearable."

The emperor shook his head slightly, but the few women in Hongxiuzhao took action. Wei Lan did not move. The large inner guards lying around did not move. The more than a thousand elite imperial guards brought by Xiahou Zhi in several nearby houses did not move. These assassins fell into the net, so the emperor felt something was wrong.

"Not Ning people."

The emperor looked at the assassins, and these words shocked Park Sung-man.

Park Sung-man took a deep breath and replied: "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

The emperor did not answer, but just looked up and down at them and asked back: "Where is from Bohai Kingdom?"

Park Sung-wan felt that he had been betrayed in an instant, otherwise how could Emperor Daning know so clearly?

"I see."

The emperor said four words, which made Park Sung-wan even more confused.

The emperor seemed to have lost interest in him and looked at Yun Hongxiu: "I may not be with you for too long today. I suddenly figured out one thing."

Yun Hongxiu nodded: "Your Majesty should go and see him."

The emperor did not say who it was, nor did Yun Hongxiu say it, but this was tacit understanding, and this was also the wisdom that Yun Hongxiu could not achieve.

"The gift is in the box, and you can open it after I leave."

The emperor stood up and ordered Wei Lan as he walked: "Send the person to the Tingwei Mansion, Han Huanzhi should be back soon."

After getting out of Hongxiuzhao, the emperor got into the car. Wei Lan accompanied the guards. As the carriage and horses moved, the imperial soldiers in the nearby houses also retreated. The neatly arranged queues moved forward behind the carriage. The clanging sound of the clothes and armor shattered the beauty on both sides of the Xiaohuai River.

Grand Secretary's Office.

The emperor got off the carriage, and Wei Lan quickly walked to the door and knocked. The old butler opened the door. Seeing so many imperial guards and so many bright weapons, he was stunned. After all, he had seen a big scene, so he raised his chest: "Do you know where this is?"

Wei Lan signaled him to retreat aside: "Your Majesty is here."

The old housekeeper was so scared that he trembled and kneeled down with a plop.

Grand Secretary Mu Zhaotong was standing in the yard in a daze. A snowman was piled up in the yard. He was holding a half-piece of carrots in his hand. He seemed to think that the nose of the snowman he had peeled was not beautiful enough. After inserting it, he looked like a clown, so he frowned slightly.

The lady stood beside him, her eyes a little confused.

When the emperor came over, he suddenly felt a little sad when he saw this scene. Both of them were fathers, but different people had the same emotions. At that moment, the emperor felt the sadness in Mu Zhaotong's heart, just as he would have the same sadness when he thought of the child being stolen by someone for so many years.

"His Majesty."

The Grand Secretary was shocked to see the emperor, but did not kneel down or salute.

"The elder of the court didn't seem to have thought that I would come?"

"Your Majesty shouldn't come."

The Grand Secretary was silent for a moment and inserted a carrot into the snowman's face. Although he was not very satisfied, he was still done. The snowman's appearance was not beautiful, not because he was too old and could not make a beautiful snowman, but because the appearance of the snowman in front of him was hard and hard to recall the scene when he first made a snowman with his children.

Try to do it like the snowman that day.

"I shouldn't have come. Are the soldiers and armors, the court magistrates, or the imperial envoy who proclaimed the imperial edict?"

The emperor went straight into Mu Zhaotong's study, sat down on the chair and waited. The Grand Secretary followed in tremblingly, while the Grand Secretary's wife knelt outside the door, and the snow soon sprinkled her a layer.

"Do you want to force me to kill you?"

The emperor asked.

The Grand Secretary looked up at His Majesty's face: "Your Majesty has seen through it, and I dare not deny it, so I said that Your Majesty shouldn't come. When I get old, I fear death when I am old and are greedy for power, so I dare not die. If I don't dare to die, I will do more things that shouldn't be done."

The emperor said: "I have found so many people with three-legged skills. This is obviously not the method of you, Mu Zhaotong, nor is it the method that the old lady should have. The old lady, a man from Sang, has arranged so many things in Daning and done so much, and can still reach into the Bohai Kingdom. How could she make such a clumsy killing plan today? The old lady and her wife are asking for death, and they are probably stupid?"

Mu Zhaotong slowly knelt down: "Everything is done by the minister and has nothing to do with the insider."

"Oh."

Emperor: "When I see you two, should I develop a bit of compassion? You look like if I am not merciful, it seems that I have done something wrong."

Mu Zhaotong didn't say anything.

"From the day when I told you that I wanted to take you and the old lady to Dongjiang, you should understand that I want to give you some decentness."

"My only son died indecent."

"Um."

The emperor sneered: "From the calculation of Emperor Daning in the first year of Tiancheng, there were 261 death row prisoners, 261 death row prisoners, 196 death row prisoners, 300 death row prisoners in the third year of Tiancheng... To this day, in the past twenty years, there have been thousands of death row people executed by the Ministry of Justice. Who is decent? If I give the damn decent people, then the national law will not be decent."

Mu Zhaotong raised her head suddenly, opened her mouth, and swallowed the words back.

"Your son died unfairly, and I am not in the mood to comfort you. In the final analysis, it is because you didn't teach a good son yourself."

The Grand Secretary’s wife knelt down there and suddenly spoke: “A lot of things are actually done by the minister, and the master is the one who is unaware of them.”

“Is it important to know or not?”

After a moment of silence, the emperor said, "You are asking for death, not because of your original intention. I can see from your eyes that I am afraid of death. I am afraid that someone will tell you that if you don't die and don't recite the guilt you should bear, you may have lost more? I just can't figure out, you are still afraid of losing what you are missing, and what you are still afraid of losing... But I will not kill you. There are still a few houses in Babu Lane. Go copy books until I find out what you are afraid of."

The emperor stood up: "Now I find that you are dead. No matter how you die, you will feel decent. You don't want the decent I give you. Want to be decent?"

Mu Zhaotong seemed to be a deflated ball, and seemed to lose her vitality in an instant.

The emperor walked out of the Grand Secretary's Mansion, looked back at the yard, and looked at the snowman in the yard.

"I want to build a snowman when I return to the palace."

There is no hurry to wind and snow, no hurry to cars and horses. The wind and snowy nights in Chang'an City do not make people feel uncomfortable at all. What is difficult is the heart.

Mu Zhaotong looked back at his wife and smiled bitterly: "Many years ago, I thought about what kind of ending I would be. Sometimes I don't understand what kind of person I am. I have resisted him from the beginning, and I still don't think he is legitimate to this day, but I have worked diligently to work as a coolie for him for twenty years. Isn't it ridiculous?"

The lady replied: "Master, I am born like this."

Red sleeve trick.

Yun Hongxiu opened the box given to her by His Majesty. There was a set of clothes inside, which was only worn by noble people in the palace. Yun Hongxiu looked at the clothes and suddenly laughed. She burst into tears while smiling. She took out the clothes and rubbed them on her face. She was reluctant to let go of her hand for a long time, but in the end she put the clothes back and muttered to herself as she looked at the box: "I understand your Majesty's feelings, and I am content."

She carefully held the box up. She would treasure this outfit for the rest of her life, but she would not enter the palace.

At this moment, a woman came in outside the Hongxiuzhao door. She grabbed Park Sung-wan and others and stopped her hand, and then she stretched out her hand. The person who came in had already tapped her fingers on her neck. With this move, she was as if something was crawling into her body. Her muscles and meridians were broken in an instant. She had a few breaths and completely lost her ability to move.

Princess Zhen, who came in with Bai Lin's sword on her back, looked at Yun Hongxiu carefully, and nodded: "It's indeed a sign."

Yun Hongxiu was so smart that he leaned over and bowed: "Empress."

"It's really smart."

Concubine Zhen looked at the box in her arms: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it."

Yun Hongxiu took a deep breath: "I can't be you, Empress."

Concubine Zhen was stunned and asked, "Do you know what I do?"

"I have no skin relationship with Your Majesty to this day. I have been talking about state affairs today. For more than ten years, the woman outside the state affairs mentioned by Your Majesty and I have not been me, only you, Empress."

The nose of the princess was sore.

"Grandmaster, I won't go to the palace. I just want to persuade the empress. If there is really something wrong with the matter back then, why don't the empress tell Your Majesty directly? Because of Your Majesty's concern for the empress, and Your Majesty has never asked anything from beginning to end in the past twenty years, does the empress still understand that Your Majesty will not blame you?"

"You don't understand."

Concubine Zhen turned around: "If you enter the palace, you may understand, but fortunately you chose not to enter, and you are happy for you. You will never need to understand what the woman in the palace should think."

"The Empress is not such a plain person, why bother?"

"Why don't you enter the palace?"

Concubine Zhen stopped and looked back at Yun Hongxiu: "Speaking of this, you care more about yourself than your Majesty."

Yun Hongxiu's face changed, and then she woke up. If it was so thick that it was as strong as she expected, how could she choose not to enter the palace?

"Do you know why I say that?"

Concubine Zhen stepped out: "Because you haven't become stupid yet."

Facing the wind and snow, the precious concubine returned to the palace.

Women who care about men surpass themselves are stupid.

It’s also stupid to care about a man who cares about women surpasses himself.
