Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 49: Secret love

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the members of the **** party headed by Wang Yong in the **** party team, with the help of Zheng Guifei's cronies, successfully broke into the Donglin party and began to implement the plan to corrupt the Donglin party. .

At this time, with the help of Zheng Long, the minister of the household, Wang Yong, who infiltrated the interior of the household, became the clerk secretary beside Zhao Tao, the secretary of the household, after several coincidences. For the newly appointed secretary, Zhao Tao appreciates him very much. Not only is his writing ability very good, but also his ability to handle affairs is outstanding. Over time, he has become a trusted assistant to Zhao Tao, and he has also formed a deep relationship with Zhao Tao. friendship. However, this is just an illusion created by Wang Yong in order to complete Wei Zhongxian's plan to corrupt Donglin's internal party. The purpose is to first deceive the trust of Zhao Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Household, and then use Zhao Tao's power to attack the entire Ministry of Household organs. And this day was a good time for him to start. He took advantage of Zhao Tao to invite him to drink tea, and decided to let him take the brain pills when he was not paying attention, and then implement the next step.

"Brother Wang, since you have worked with me for so long, you have been doing your best and being meticulous, saving me a lot of trouble. I have always felt more at ease with you doing things by my side. In Zhao's heart, you have long been My right-hand man is also my good friend and confidant, so today, Mr. Zhao specially invited you to drink a cup of tea to express his feelings.”

The person who spoke was Zhao Tao. At this time, he and Wang Yong were kneeling on both sides of a coffee table. There were teapots, cups and several exquisite tea sets on the coffee table. After saying this, He poured Wang Yong a cup of tea and went on to say

"The name of this tea is Zhuyeqing, which is the best tea in Sichuan and Shu. This tea is as famous as Longjing in West Lake in Hangzhou, Pu'er in western Yunnan and Tieguanyin in Fujian. The effect, you try it"

Wang Yong said after taking the tea

"I don't know anything about tea art, but since Brother Zhao kindly invites me to drink tea, then I will accompany Brother Zhao to drink a few cups"

After drinking a sip of tea, Wang Yong said

"This tea is exactly as Brother Zhao said, with a sweet aftertaste, not bitter, and it is indeed a good tea"

After listening to Wang Yong's words, Zhao Tao also said after drinking a sip of tea

"It's best if you like it. It's a pity that Zhao is not good at drinking, and he doesn't like drinking very much, so he can't accompany brother Wang to talk about wine. So he can only use tea instead of wine to make brother Wang laugh."

"Where, where, Brother Zhao, you invited me to drink tea so enthusiastically today. Wang has long been grateful. How dare you make fun of Brother Zhao, you are so good at drinking? Today, we will use tea instead of wine to chat and laugh."

Then, the two clink glasses again with tea instead of wine; when Zhao Tao finished drinking a cup of tea again, he said

"Brother Wang, it's really my Zhao Tao's honor to get to know you. I didn't expect that you are not only capable of doing things, but also very interesting; it's a pity that you don't have a half-official position, but you can rest assured that as long as you can I will definitely take the opportunity to recommend you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Home Affairs"

"Brother Zhao, you are too polite. It is a great honor for me, Wang Yong, to share the facts with you. I just hope that I can stay by Brother Zhao's side forever and become Brother Zhao's right-hand man. As an official, Brother Zhao's good intentions are received by Wang."

After listening to Wang Yong's remarks, Zhao Tao laughed, and greatly appreciated his work attitude that does not seek fame and fortune, but only seeks progress

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen someone as indifferent to fame and fortune as Brother Wang, which fits the personality of our Donglin Party. Has Brother Wang thought about joining our Donglin Party?"

After listening to Zhao Tao's question, Wang Yong said with a smile

"Since I am Wang, who is by Brother Zhao's side, it is no longer important to me to join the Donglin Party"

"That's right, since you're working for me now, it really doesn't matter to you whether you join the Donglin Party or not"

After listening to Zhao Tao's words, Wang Yong looked around, looking for an opportunity for Zhao Tao to take the brain-eating insect pills. After observing for a while, he suddenly found that Zhao Tao's waist seemed to be tied something, so I asked

"Brother Zhao, what is that green thing hanging on your waist?"

"You said this!"

While talking, Zhao Tao tied the green sachet hanging around his waist and continued to say

"This is the sachet I often hang on my body. As long as I hang this thing on my body, there will be a fragrant fragrance around you, you can smell it"

Wang Yong took the sachet from Zhao Tao's hand and smelled it for a while, and a pleasant fragrance hit his nostrils instantly, he praised and said

"This sachet smells really good"

When Wang Yong finished saying this and was about to return the sachet to Zhao Tao, he deliberately threw the sachet under the coffee table by pretending to have missed it; I am embarrassed to say to Zhao Tao

"I'm sorry, my brother missed it for a while, I'll pick it up for you now"

When he was bending over to pick up the sachet that had fallen under the coffee table, Zhao Tao hurriedly stopped him

"If you don't have to work hard, let me do it"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tao bent down to pick up the sachet that had fallen under the coffee table. When he bent his head under the coffee table, Wang Yong took advantage of this time and poured the sweat medicine prepared in advance on Zhao Tao's in a teacup. When he picked up the sachet and tied it around his waist again and finished taking a sip of tea, he felt dizzy before he could speak, and then he fell asleep. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Yong took out a brain-eating worm pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Tao's mouth, and then fed him a cup of tea. After confirming that he swallowed the pill, he nodded reassuringly.

After a while, Zhao Tao finally woke up. When he woke up, he saw the surrounding darkness, and then he carefully observed the surrounding situation for a while, and then he realized that he was locked in a dungeon; Others include Liu Feng, Minister of Personnel, Matteo Ricci, Minister of Rites, Huang Wencan, Minister of War, An Liang, Minister of Work, and Han Xuan, Minister of Punishment. The same is true of the high-ranking officials who are imprisoned here with him

"Who locked me here, stand up for me quickly"

When he finished saying this, Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting in front of him and drinking with Wang Yong in the cell, answered him

"It's me, Wei Zhongxian, who is the one who shuts you down"

At this time, Zhao Tao noticed Wang Yong sitting next to Wei Zhongxian, so he yelled

"Wang Yong, you villain, you are ungrateful, you can't die, and Zhao Tao treats you like this, but you collude with this dog **** to harm me, it is despicable. I will kill you when I go out. You bastard"

Listening to Zhao Tao's scolding, Wang Yong stood up from the seat and sneered

"Hahaha, do you think you still have your life to get out of this cell? You can't protect yourself now, and you have no right to kill me; yes, you have given me a lot of favors, I originally It is a pity that our **** party and your Donglin party are at odds with each other. If you don’t get rid of your Donglin party, how will our **** party control the court in the future, and the reason why I approach you is to gain your trust and implement it. Our **** party corrupts the plans within your Donglin party, as for your kindness to me! You can use it to feed the dog"

After saying this, Wang Yong laughed wildly in front of Zhao Tao, and returned to his seat after laughing. At this time, Wei Zhongxian spoke

"Do you know why I'm imprisoning you, the ministers, here? It's because of the emperor's will"

After hearing this, Zhao Tao's face was shocked, and he completely understood what Wei Zhongxian said; he raised his head and looked up at the dark sky in the dungeon, and sneered

"I can't believe that this dazed monarch still hasn't given up and still stubbornly believes that our constitutional monarchy is depriving him of his power and trying to usurp the throne of a certain dynasty, so he will use the **** party formed by you shameless eunuchs to take back his power, It's just too absurd and ridiculous"

After listening to Zhao Tao's words, Wei Zhongxian said with a gloomy smile

"Zhao Shangshu is really smart, he actually guessed it right away, but it seems too late for you to find out now, because all of you Shangshu adults have become my puppets under Wei Zhongxian's hands"

What Wei Zhongxian said was not so important to Zhao Tao at this time, because he had long been disheartened by today's slanderous and incompetent Wanli Emperor, even if he did Wei Zhongxian's puppet, its final outcome is the same for him, nothing more than a victim of imperial power and the struggle for interests, so he sneered again

"Hahaha, I never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would really come to its end. With such a faint-hearted monarch and you all who only want to control the government, and do not take the benefit of the world as their duty at all, I am the Ming Dynasty. I'm destined not to escape the fate of perishing, it seems that God really wants to destroy me."

Zhao Tao's lament from the heart, in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, seemed so pale and powerless. He squinted at Zhao Tao, who bowed his head and felt sorry and distressed for the fate of the Ming Dynasty. full of contempt and ridicule

"Don't be pretentious here, pretending to be benevolent and righteous, this Ming Dynasty is originally the emperor, and the emperor should have supreme power; and you Donglin party people use the name of the constitutional monarchy to control the emperor's power. It's completely empty, changing the system of the imperial court at will, what is your intention, we are just taking back what he should have for the emperor"

After he finished speaking, he told Zhao Tao about the brain-eating insect pills

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, you have all taken the brain-eating insect pills, and the insects have now parasitized in your brains; if you don't take the antidote I give you regularly, within three hours your The brain will corrode these parasites, and then you will die ugly. Although this brain-eating insect pill is not poisonous, it can make life worse than death; but if you can obey our eunuchs from now on order, and even join our **** party, I can not only prevent you from suffering like this, I will even give you the antidote to cut off the root of the brain-eating insect pill, the so-called person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, you must think clearly"

"You want us from the Donglin Party to serve you gang of dog slaves. You are just wishful thinking. Our Donglin Party people have never been greedy for life and fear of death. What can a mere brain-eating insect pill do for me?"

Listening to Zhao Tao's words, Huang Wencan, An Liang, Han Xuan, and Liu Feng all responded together

"That's right, we won't be at the mercy of you jerk"

"Our Donglin Party is a group of men with strong bones and will never give in to you neutered dogs"

"We will not cooperate with you even if we die"

"We will never give in"

Facing the five of them who would rather die than surrender, Wei Zhongxian shook his head at them contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain and contempt

"Okay, you want to be a hero so much, right? After three hours, I see how long you can survive"

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian glanced at Matteo Ricci, the Minister of Rites, who had been silent just now, then walked towards him in a gentle manner and said with a smile

"Mr. Matteo Ricci, don't worry, I didn't let my subordinates poison you, because you are different from them, you are neither from the Donglin party nor Chinese, I will never embarrass you; It's the fight between our eunuchs and Donglinists that has nothing to do with you, and you are just a foreign missionary, so I don't want to hurt innocent people because of the fight between the two parties, I can let go now You, but you have to pay for letting go, because you have to promise me a condition"

Ricci raised his head and glanced sideways at Wei Zhongxian who was standing in front of him and asked simply

"What conditions?"

Wei Zhongxian replied with a smile on his face

"That is, from now on, you are not allowed to promote and introduce your Westerners' bizarre foreign stuff in our country, and you are not allowed to promote your Westerners' so-called democratic ideology to deceive people and cause Our people in Daming no longer respect the imperial power, no longer respect the emperor, and stop your so-called educational reform cause"

Ricci refused to succumb to Wei Zhongxian's arrogance and categorically rejected all the conditions proposed by Wei Zhongxian

"No, this is absolutely not allowed, Mr. Wei, you must never do this, you are going against the trend of historical development and will make your country rest on its laurels and lag behind other countries. Your people need freedom, Your politics needs democracy"

But in Wei Zhongxian's mind, freedom and democracy and the destiny of the country are far less than the interests of imperial power in his eyes

"Mr. Matteo Ricci, you must know that you are just a missionary and have no right to interfere in the ideological education of our country. Our emperor's rule over the human world is indeed the mandate of heaven. What he wants is absolute rule over the human world. The emperor of our country is the emperor, and the interests of the imperial power are paramount. I hope Mr. Matteo Ricci will stop meddling in his own affairs in the future. If Mr. Ricci will go his own way again, I will let you taste the taste of brain-eating insects like them.”

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he turned around and left the cell; three hours later, he came back here again, and watched the five ministers in the tragic state of being tortured by brain-eating insect pills, revealing a trace of aftermath. , feel an angry smirk

"How? Do you want to obey our **** now? If you obey, we will give you the antidote, and if you don't obey, you will die."

Affected by this kind of pain and torture worse than death, the five Shangshu adults finally compromised; although the Donglin party members are all hard bones, they can't bear the physical torture and torture

"Master Wei, please give me the antidote, Zhao Tao is willing to submit to the eunuch"

While convulsing, Zhao Tao endured the severe pain caused by the brain-eating insects in his brain with difficulty, squeezed out the little remaining consciousness and pleaded with Wei Zhongxian to compromise. And the other four senior ministers also begged Wei Zhongxian to give them the antidote in a pleading tone.

"Liu Feng is also willing to submit to the eunuchs, please let Mrs Wei let us go"

"I, An Liang, decided to swear allegiance to the eunuchs from now on. I have no second thoughts. Please Lord Wei give us the antidote"

"Han Xuan is also willing to submit"

"I am also willing to submit to Huang Wencan"

Seeing that they were so weak and desperate when they were tortured by the brain-eating insects, Wei Zhongxian was even more proud, and he didn't forget to ridicule them when he was proud

"Hahaha, they all say that you Donglin party members are a group of tough guys. It turned out to be nothing more than that. You have compromised so quickly. In my opinion, you are just a group of rats without weakness and incompetence. A group of weak and weak scholars; but since you are willing to submit, I will definitely not treat you badly"

After speaking, he asked the little eunuchs under him to give them the antidote respectively. But Matteo Ricci, who witnessed the tortured fingers of the brain-eating insect pills with his own eyes and the horrific state the victim showed, was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, and he shouted angrily to Wei Zhongxian

"You devil, how can you treat your own people like this"

Wei Zhongxian walked up to him again and whispered

"In our country, it is necessary to be so cruel when dealing with disobedient minions like them. From tomorrow, you will leave the Forbidden City quietly for me, or I will make your end like theirs"

After finishing speaking, Wei Zhongxian once again said to him that in his eyes, these four rats who could not stand torture and fear death

"From tomorrow onwards, you have to do things for me honestly, and don't tell other people what happened today. If a half sentence is leaked, I will not only make your life worse than death, but also make it worse for you. Your family is suffering the same with you.”

On the second day, Zhao Tao and the other five ministers were working in the palace as usual, and they dared not disclose what happened yesterday to anyone. But Matteo Ricci succumbed to Wei Zhongxian's arrogance and was forced to take the initiative to resign to Gu Xiancheng and left the Forbidden City. The moment he rode out of the Forbidden City, he looked back at the gate of the Forbidden City, looking reluctantly, because after all, he had been working here for six years, and he seemed so unfamiliar with everything here. yet familiar.

At this time, he only now feels that inside the gate of the Forbidden City, there is a world that has long been isolated from the world, a group of people who only have the desire for power in their hearts, and don't know how to make their own country. Become a powerful fool.

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, then rode his horse without looking back and left the Forbidden City, back to the residence that Emperor Wanli arranged for him in the capital, and single-mindedly completed the record of his book "Notes on China" The following are some of the things he experienced in the six years he served as the Minister of Rites in China, and also recorded in detail the birth of the constitutional monarchy system, and the content and structure of this perfect political system.

A few years later, his book caused a sensation in almost the whole of Europe, and received a lot of attention. The constitutional monarchy system recorded in it was imitated by an island country in Europe, and the island country realized it through this system. The bourgeois revolution and the industrial revolution, and the continuous colonization and expansion of warships on the earth, became the country with the largest control area in the history of the world. This country was later the British Empire.

In the imperial garden, a beautiful and beautiful music melody swept through every corner of the place with the autumn wind, so that the flowers, trees, birds and insects here can feel the music expressed in an instant. The meaning of life; This piece of "Spirit of All Things" composed by Wu Ruoyun and Emperor Wanli is a classic score written by court musician Zhang Yi recently through his feelings about the meaning and perception of life. Taking advantage of this sudden Yaxing, Emperor Wanli invited Wu Ruoyun to play this classic work in the imperial garden. However, when the music of "The Spirit of All Things" was halfway through, Wu Ruoyun thought of something, so she stopped playing; when she put down the pipa and stopped playing, Emperor Wanli was also forced to After he stopped, he put down the Yuxiao in his hand and looked at Wu Ruoyun in front of him with confusion

"Miss Wu, what's the matter with you? Why did you suddenly stop playing? This "Spirit of All Things" is a classic piece of music. I really want to see what this piece of music will look like when it's played out, why? You don't want to play with me anymore"

Wu Ruoyun replied expressionlessly

"Your Majesty, Ruoyun has something in his heart that he wants to tell the Emperor, but he has never had the chance to say it, because he is afraid that the Emperor will be furious when he hears it"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Emperor Wanli decided to let her finish what she wanted to say first

"Miss Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it, I won't blame you"

"Ruoyun wants to lift the one-month period with the emperor"

As soon as Wu Ruoyun said this, Emperor Wanli's face suddenly changed greatly

"What did you say?"

Wu Ruoyun decided to explain it directly to Emperor Wanli

"Your Majesty, Ruoyun has already figured it out recently. Ruoyun and the Emperor are people from two different worlds, and they are destined to never be together. The only person Ruoyun loves in this life is Chang Lingyun, and the Emperor and Concubine Zheng Guifei are the only ones who love each other. The two of them are a perfect match. Concubine Zheng loves the emperor so much, and the emperor should not let her down. This one-month deadline is meaningless to me and the emperor. Since Ruoyun already has a heart in his heart, don't say a single one. Yue, even if Ruoyun's heart has been waiting for decades, it only belongs to Chang Lingyun, and the emperor's heart actually wants Ruoyun's heart the most, so Ruoyun feels that the emperor does not need to do anything for Ruoyun. Yun is a waste of time; not to mention that the emperor has the love of Concubine Zheng Guifei, Ruoyun is willing to leave this opportunity to the concubine Zheng Guifei, because only in this way will the emperor be happy"

Wu Ruoyun's words are reasonable, but no matter how reasonable these words are, it is difficult to erase the infatuation in Wanli Emperor's heart for her

"Miss Wu, can't you still understand my feelings for you? Yes, I really want to get your heart, but what I care about most is being able to spend more time with you, I know it's impossible for me I have your heart, but as long as you can get along well with me for more than a month, I will be satisfied."

"But Ruoyun feels that what the emperor did to the noble concubine is really unfair, and Ruoyun doesn't want to intervene between the emperor and the noble concubine. Originally, the emperor and the noble concubine were a loving couple, why did you hurt the noble concubine because of me? Niangniang's true love for the emperor"

"Yes, the imperial concubine does have a deep affection for me, but I don't like her at all now. Since I saw you, I can't control the love for you in my heart. Do I just want to be with someone I like in my heart? Is it wrong to get along with people for a while?"

"The emperor is right to do this, but please think about it for Ruoyun, the emperor and the concubine should have been a natural couple, but it was because of me that the emperor and the concubine couldn't love each other, let alone Ruoyun. The fiancee of the Prime Minister, if this were to let the people of the Ming Dynasty know what they would think of me, they would think that I, Wu Ruoyun, was not a womanist, a slutty and slutty woman, and such an infamy is justified. I can't bear it. So Ruoyun begged the emperor to take back this month's time limit and let Ruoyun go home and wait for my fiancé Chang Lingyun's return"

"Could it be that Miss Wu, do you really want to regret it? You promised me that you would spend more than a month with me"

"That's right, Ruoyun did promise the emperor at the beginning, but Ruoyun has thought about it carefully recently, and feels that this promise is not only unfair to the imperial concubine, but also unfair to the emperor. Treat the emperor with sincerity, and it is impossible for the emperor to get Ruoyun's heart. This promise is meaningless to Ruoyun and the emperor, and it may affect Ruoyun's reputation, so I also ask the emperor to take back his life."

After finishing speaking, Wu Ruoyun left the Imperial Garden without looking back, leaving Emperor Wanli alone in a daze.

However, just after Wu Ruoyun left the Imperial Garden, Gu Xiancheng and Zuo Guangdou led two teams of imperial guards from the palace into the Imperial Garden and did the stupidest thing for both of them; When the two of them led two teams of janissaries into the imperial garden aggressively, they surrounded Emperor Wanli privately in the middle.

"Gu Xiancheng, what are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"

Gu Xiancheng said in a low voice with a gloomy face

"Your Majesty, you held such a lavish wedding in the palace just for the marriage of a **** and a palace maid yesterday. By doing so, you have violated my "Da Ming Law" which prohibits wasting silver taels and embezzling public funds. , it is said that the emperor violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, now ask the emperor to accompany us to the council hall to be tried"

After a short while, Emperor Wanli was brought to the Council Chamber by Gu Xiancheng. After being tried by the Senate and the House of Representatives, he decided to punish the Emperor Wanli for extravagance and misappropriation of public funds and put him under house arrest in the Taimiao Temple for a month.

When Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue learned that Emperor Wanli was imprisoned in Taimiao again, they were filled with guilt, because he never expected that the emperor would be arrested by Donglin party members for their wedding Privately imprisoned. With a heart of guilt, they saw Emperor Wanli who was imprisoned here again in the Taimiao Temple; after seeing Emperor Wanli, Wei Zhongxian bowed his head apologetically and said to Emperor Wanli

"Your Majesty, the servants really deserve to die. The emperor should not be placed under house arrest by the Donglin party because of the servant's marriage. The servants are really guilty and deserve to die"

The Wanli Emperor turned his head to one side and looked straight ahead with a dull gaze

"Since the matter has come to this point, I have nothing to say. I can't blame you, Wei Zhongxian, for this. If you want to blame me, I can blame myself for being useless. Do whatever you want in the palace"

At this time, Ke Yinyue said to Emperor Wanli

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my Wei Lang will find a way to save the Emperor"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian used his hands to hold the hands of Emperor Wanli and added that

"Yinyue is right, don't worry, Your Majesty, the minions must have a way to let you out"

At this time, Wu Ruoyun also already knew the news that Emperor Wanli was imprisoned in the Taimiao Temple. Out of the little pity she still had for Emperor Wanli, she decided to visit Emperor Wanli in the Taimiao tonight.

In the evening, when she had dinner at Concubine Zheng's place and drank the so-called black soup for beauty and beauty that Concubine Zheng asked her to drink every night, she set off from Concubine Zheng's bedroom, Walking on the way to the Taimiao Temple.

When she was walking on the road, she suddenly encountered Haining, the commander of the Jinyiweidu commander who was patrolling the palace. When Haining met Wu Ruoyun, she quickly greeted her politely

"Miss Wu, where are you going when it's so late?"

Wu Ruoyun replied with a smile

"Ah, it's Lord Hai, I heard today that the emperor was imprisoned in the Tai Temple, so I want to see the emperor"

"Then do you know the way to the Taimiao Temple?"

"Well, of course I know that, but now it's dark, I'm afraid I can't see clearly"

"Then why don't you do it like this, I'm just going to patrol the Taimiao Temple, why don't I take you to the Taimiao Temple"

After listening to Haining's words, Wu Ruoyun thought that the route in the palace was so complicated, not to mention that he was really not familiar with the route in the palace, so he agreed with Haining's suggestion. She nodded slightly and replied

"Well, let's go then"

Haining has always had a secret crush on Wu Ruoyun. Since she entered the palace with Chang Lingyun six years ago, he has unknowingly been deeply attracted by Wu Ruoyun's beauty. He watched Wu Ruoyun but never had the chance to approach her, and never dared to confess to her. Because he felt that his status was low, and he was not qualified to love someone as noble as her. More importantly, he knew in his heart that her heart would always belong to Chang Lingyun alone, so he could only put his heart towards him. This love of hers is firmly buried in the bottom of her heart. On the way to the Taimiao together, the two didn't say a word. When the two of them arrived at the gate of the Taimiao, Wu Ruoyun said to Haining with a smile

"Master Hai, thank you for taking me here in person. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have known this was the Taimiao Temple"

After listening to Wu Ruoyun's words, Haining replied

"Miss Wu is too polite. Haining is very happy to help Miss Wu. The road in the palace is indeed a bit difficult to find. If Miss Wu has other routes that are unclear in the future, she can always ask for help."

"Well, okay, goodbye Mr. Hai"

"Goodbye"

When Wu Ruoyun walked into the main entrance of Chaotai Temple without looking back, Haining took out the hairpin he had been carrying around for six years from his sleeve.

This hairpin is the hairpin that Wu Ruoyun accidentally dropped to the ground when she first entered the palace. Although it is not worth a lot of money, it is very important to her, because this hairpin is a Chang Lingyun gave it to her.

She had searched for this hairpin many times in the palace but could not find it anyway. In desperation, she stopped looking for this hairpin, and over time she forgot it, but let her What I didn't expect was that this hairpin was always in Haining's hands. When Haining picked up this hairpin, he didn't return it to Wu Ruoyun, but kept it by his side, whenever he thought about it. As long as he thinks of Wu Ruoyun, he will take out this hairpin and look carefully and touch it, as if Wu Ruoyun is standing beside him at this moment. Today, he decided to return the hairpin to its original owner

"Miss Wu, please stay"

Wu Ruoyun quickly turned around and asked after hearing Haining's shouting behind her

"Master Hai, what else is there?"

Haining handed her hairpin in front of her and said

"You dropped this hairpin on the ground a long time ago. I never had a chance to give it to you. Now I finally found a chance to give it to you. Take it back"

Wu Ruoyun took the hairpin in Haining's hand and looked at it. She was surprised to find that this was the lost hairpin that Brother Lingyun gave her six years ago! So she gratefully looked at Haining who picked up her hairpin and said excitedly

"I've been looking for this hairpin for six years. I didn't expect Mr. Hai to be so caring and keep it for me for six years. Thank you so much"

"You're welcome, Miss Wu, it's getting late, you should hurry up and see the emperor"

"Hmm"

Wu Ruoyun looked at Haining's figure and nodded for a while, then walked into the Taimiao without looking back. And Haining stared at her back, still so attached and infatuated
