Chapter 104 After All, I Let Her Down

Axiu looked at the old man with doubt and confusion on his face.

This expression made the female relatives quietly red eyes, and he didn't know why the old man asked him to kneel.

"Come here, kneel down, kowtow, and put incense sticks." The old man said again.

A Xiu subconsciously went to pull Liu Yusheng, thinking that it was the same as before, then he would go with Shengsheng.

"Brother Axiu, you go, here... I can't accompany you." Liu Yusheng pulled his hand away.

"why?"

Because here is your mother.

For some reason, the sadness in the little baby's eyes made Axiu very resistant.

He didn't know whether he was resisting that emotion or some meaning behind that emotion.

He didn't want to get down on his knees, or even approach the grave.

Mr. Liu took Liu Daliu Er to clean up the overgrown weeds around the grave.

Mrs. Liu, along with Chen Xiulan and Du Juan, placed offerings in front of the tomb bag and lit incense candles, just waiting for Ah Xiu to pass by.

In the end, he still raised his footsteps, approached step by step, and knelt down slowly in front of the grave.

A tight string in his brain trembled heavily at this moment, causing a sharp pain in his head.

His heart seemed to be covered by heavy clouds, so suppressed that he could hardly breathe.

Madam Liu sighed softly, and touched the wet soil on the grave with her hand. It's been three years, big girl, we have brought Axiu back.

In the future, the Liu family will be his home, and he will be the child of our Liu family.

You are under the Nine Springs, rest in peace.

When Axiu kowtowed and put on incense, Liu Yusheng also stepped forward and lit incense to worship.

Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu looked at each other and knelt beside A Xiu.

The cabin was burnt to ashes and nothing was left.

Later, grandma pulled out a coat that Aunt Wanrong had dropped before and erected the tomb.

If brother Axiu can be found, at least there is a place to worship.

If brother Axiu didn't find it, they would come over every year to offer some ghost paper incense candles.

She has existed in this world, at least, someone has always remembered it.

The sky was grey, and the rain that had stopped all morning began to fall again at some point.

It is thin and slender, and has a tendency to gradually become larger.

It fell on the human face, revealing a coolness.

"Okay, get up, it's time to go back." Mr. Liu spoke.

Axiu stood up, bowed his head and said nothing, his knees were covered in mud stains.

The group packed up and returned to the city. Before leaving, Chen Xiulan whispered to the grave bag, "Wanrong, don't worry, I will take care of the child on your behalf. Next year, I will bring him to see you again. When his condition improves, I will erect a monument for you with my own hands."

Very soft voice, almost covered by the drizzle.

A Xiu, who was at the end of the crowd, froze suddenly, his face turned pale, and he fell straight forward.

At the last moment of waking up, there were many screams in my ears.

At the same time, the capital, thousands of miles away, was also drizzling with continuous drizzle.

The entire imperial city was shrouded in a misty rain, depressing and deserted.

There was a sudden coughing sound in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty!" the old eunuch exclaimed, hurried forward to cheer up Emperor Hongyuan who was lying on the dragon bed, "Your Majesty, you can't be in a hurry, take care of your dragon body!"

Emperor Hongyuan waved his hand back to the eunuch, panting heavily.

After six years of lingering sickness, the man's face was sallow and thin, his body was morbid, and his sixtieth hair showed his old age.

Only those eyes, the emperor's momentum is undiminished.

"I am the master of the world, sitting on the entire Nanling, on top of my own imperial land, but I can't find the person I am looking for!" The emperor looked at the man kneeling in front of the dragon's bed. People did not dare to look at him, "Commander Wei, you say, is my ability not great enough, or my subordinates are too incompetent?"

"The crime of inferiority deserves ten thousand death! Please the emperor punish!" Wei Qing knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and the cold sweat kept falling from his forehead one by one.

As the commander of the hidden guard beside the emperor, but he has repeatedly failed in the mission, he has long lost the qualification to continue to be the commander.

"I want to kill you alive!"

Wei Qing's face turned pale in an instant, gritted his teeth, "I'm humble, accept the punishment!"

"As my hidden guard, I'm not loyal enough. I want to say betrayal, but the betrayal is not thorough enough." The emperor's voice was flat and slow, but it made the man kneeling on the ground tremble more and more violently, "I heard that you have a sister, in Concubine Shu, who has been serving by her side, has been valued in recent years, and she is very clever."

"Your Majesty!" Wei Qing suddenly raised his head, his face was ashen as death.

"My Zichen Palace is short of clever servants. I will transfer people tomorrow. I will give you one last chance. Within three months, I want good news."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! I will do my best in my humble position!" Walking out of the gate of Zichen Hall and entering the rain curtain, the rain hit him, and it was colder than the chill in Wei Qing's heart.

Your Majesty, you know everything.

Three years ago, he was one step behind to find the scene, which was intentional.

He slaughtered all the men in black present and cut off the possibility of the other party returning clues. It was he who chose to be loyal at the last moment.

It's just one infidelity, a hundred times of uselessness, this last chance is not a chance.

The emperor wanted him to write the ending for himself in this way.

When the man was found, he apologized with death, and the matter ended.

People can't be found, because of what he betrayed in the first place, and in the end, his betrayal will also go to hell with him!

"Your Majesty, Wei Qing has already betrayed the Emperor, so why give him a chance? If he betrays the Emperor again, wouldn't the Sixteenth Prince be even more dangerous..."

Emperor Hongyuan slowly closed his eyes, and let out a sigh that was almost empty, overflowing his mouth.

If he had a choice, how could he use such a person again?

It's just that Wei Qing has been chasing this clue. Compared with abandoning him and using new people, Wei Qing can get people back faster.

His time is running out.

Can't wait.

He owes too much to the girl, and he just wants to do his last best to give the child a good guarantee before he dies.

"Send Wei Zi to accompany him as Wei Qing's deputy. Find someone and bring them back to the palace immediately!"

"Yes, the servant will go now!" The old eunuch hurriedly ordered to retreat.

The emperor turned his head to look out the window, the drizzle was still falling, and it was like when she was crying, it was silent, but it could fall into the heart of people.

In the end, he failed her.

And his proudest child, hate him?

Anxiety attacked his heart, and there was another burst of uncontrollable coughing, smelling the bloody smell overflowing from his mouth, the emperor's eyes fell out of the window again, and the focus drifted far, far away.

After the Qingming Festival, another big event happened in the palace.

In recent years, Concubine Shu Gui, who has become more and more smooth in the palace, was concubine by the emperor because of a bowl of soup.

The emperor has been in bed for several years, and he has too many taboos for what he eats in his stomach. A little mistake in eating may make the emperor's condition worse and hurt the dragon's body. In that bowl of soup, there was just one seasoning that the emperor could not eat. Concubine Shu Gui was on the cusp of the storm, and she would not retreat.
