Finest Servant

When he came out, Eunuch Gao carefully closed the door with Li Yi, for fear of disturbing the father and daughter who had been reunited after untold hardships.

Lin Wanrong listened to Qin Xian'er's soft sob, and couldn't help shaking her head. Today's matter is done right. I hope that their father and daughter can get along well, so that Mr. Lin and my hard work will not be in vain.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin," Eunuch Gao's voice sounded in his ear: "Someone wants to see you."

"See me? Who?!" Lin Wanrong asked in amazement. In the emperor's Qianqing Palace, there are still people who want to see me. This is a miracle.

Gao Ping nodded slightly, and said softly, "Please come with me." He took the lead, walked to the side room of the outer hall, passed through several houses, found one of them, and respectfully said: "This is the place. Now, sir, please come in."

All the rooms in the hall are bright, only this one has no trace, it is full of darkness, Lin Wanrong is puzzled, slowly pushes the door and enters, he sees an old shadow, standing quietly in front of the window, his eyes are empty. Shining faint light.

"Uncle Wei?!!" Lin Wanrong screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand: "You, why are you here?"

Old Man Wei smiled slightly and said, "Why am I not here?"

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a while, before taking a long sigh of relief, nodded and sighed: "I understand, it turns out that Uncle Wei, you are also by the emperor's side."

The old man Wei smiled slightly, with a lot of emotion in his tone: "You are right, I am indeed the steward by the emperor's side. In the past, when the emperor was still in the hidden residence, I served with him by his side, counting it. There have been three more than ten years."

Thirty years? It is indeed a miracle that a blind man has served the emperor by his side for more than 30 years, but the two masters and servants are affectionate and righteous. Lao Wei seemed to have penetrated his thoughts and smiled: "Are you thinking. How can I be a blind old man and serve the emperor for more than 30 years?"

The old man Wei is Lin Wanrong's savior. He is like a remake. Lin Wanrong is extraordinarily honest in front of him, and he doesn't hide what he thinks. He nodded and said: "I do have some doubts."

"You don't have to doubt, it's very simple to put it bluntly. More than 20 years ago, I also had a pair of healthy eyes like you." The old blind sighed faintly. Incomparable resentment and regret were hidden in his voice: "In the past, the late emperor was seriously ill, and the emperor was kind-hearted and undressed. He took care of him day and night, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and his reputation spread all over the world. It was planned to pass the throne to the emperor. However, at this most critical moment, a large number of assassins suddenly broke into the Xiangguo Temple where the late emperor was recuperating. In order to protect the late emperor, the emperor was seriously injured, and even the only prince was assassinated. , I also lost my eyes in order to protect the emperor. At the critical moment, it was fortunate that Li Tai was loyal and upright,

Only after mobilizing tens of thousands of troops and quelling the civil unrest ensured the emperor's safety. "

Talk about the past. Old Wei's tone was calm with some excitement, and Lin Wanrong was secretly shocked when he heard it. Last time, the old emperor said this matter lightly, and the words were vague, but the old man Wei said a lot, but he said a lot. It turned out that in that battle, not only Uncle Wei was stabbed blind, but even the old emperor was seriously injured, and he also lost a son. Probably the root cause of the illness after the injury. After the old emperor ascended the throne, he did not give birth to a male and a half female. He found that there was no successor in the country. No wonder he resented King Cheng to the core.

"In order to preserve the great China forever, the emperor began to select talents more than ten years ago. As the only insider among them, I accepted this important task, which is related to the future of the great China. I met you." Old Wei paused, sighed, shook his head and said, "Wanrong, I really don't know whether to praise you or scold you?"

"Uncle, if you want to scold you can scold. To be honest, my philosophy of life is different from yours. I want to be happy first, then power and wealth. If there is no happiness, I would rather not have anything." Lin Wanrong said honestly. .

"I naturally know this. I like you, and there are more or less factors in this aspect. You are open-minded, dare to think and act, think openly, and let go. The means of action are eclectic, benevolent and ruthless. It is indeed a good material to have both. At the beginning, when I saw you looking so happy, I thought you would change after learning the truth, so I didn't care. But I didn't expect you to be the same stubborn after knowing the whole story. The emperor is right You are both admiring and helpless, but I am unwilling to do so!"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Uncle, I told the emperor last time, can you find a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, not to embarrass me, nor to embarrass him?

Old Man Wei said with a wry smile, "You're a good boy at shouldering the burden. How can you think of the best of both worlds? Although, I have to thank you for letting me hang on for a few days."

"Still alive? Uncle, I don't understand." Lin Wanrong said inexplicably.

"It's just lingering." Uncle Wei sighed: "The purpose of my life is to be loyal to the emperor and choose a suitable talent for Dahua. Once I find this person, that is when I come to the end—"

"Quiet?!!" Lin Wanrong said in shock.

"I am willing." Uncle Wei smiled lightly: "The master gave me everything, and being loyal to him is my lifelong wish."

Lin Wanrong stared blankly at the blind old Wei, unable to say a word for a long time. He does not belong to this era, so it is naturally difficult to understand Lao Wei's mentality, but he respects Uncle Wei's choice. From the emperor's point of view, in order to let Dahua's legacy be passed on from generation to generation, and to keep secrets forever, the damned people must die. He shook his head helplessly. If I promised the old emperor today, then I might never see Uncle Wei again, and he felt uncomfortable.

"The princess is back. It's been a long time since I saw the emperor so happy." Lao Wei stood by the window, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Wanrong, I'm on behalf of the master, thank you."

As he said, he was about to kneel down and kowtow. Lin Wanrong hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle, aren't you going to ruin my life? You saved my life! Besides, Xian'er is my wife, old man. It's my father-in-law, let their father and daughter clear up the misunderstanding and reunite earlier, that's what I should do."

"I'm afraid the matter between you and the princess will not be so smooth." Old Wei said slowly: "If you agree to the emperor's request today, your status will change, and the emperor will arrange for you to enter the palace in a proper way. The matter with the princess, then never mention it again."

Lin Wanrong opened his mouth wide. No wonder the old emperor wanted me and Xian'er to become brothers and sisters. I don't know what Uncle Wei means when he says justifiably right? Even if you enter the court, rumors and rumors are inevitable. Who can control those old and important officials, and who can deal with King Cheng?

"No one in this world dares to underestimate the emperor. His control over the current situation, his grasp and decisiveness in major events, is absolutely incomparable to those mediocre people from King Cheng." Old Wei snorted and said slowly: "You After entering the dynasty, the emperor will arrange for you to gradually take charge of the personnel department, eliminate rebellious officials, let you be the examiner of Enke, promote the world as a scholar, and ask you to assist Li Tai and control the military power. As long as you have military power in your hand, you can control the storm. Da, your status is as stable as Mount Tai. With official power and military power, a servant like King Cheng is like meat on the chopping block, so what can I do to you?"

Old Wei was immersed in the emperor's side and was familiar with his mind. When it came to these political affairs, he was a big connoisseur. Lin Wanrong smacked his lips secretly when he heard it. According to Uncle Wei, it was really attractive. Alas, it would be great if I could marry Xian'er and play with power again. Wouldn't it be beautiful for Lao Tzu to be a happy and happy king?

"What's the matter, do you regret it?" Although Lao Wei couldn't see, he was born in serving the emperor, and he had a deep insight into human nature, and smiled slightly.

"I don't regret it." Lin Wanrong smiled: "What is yours is yours, you can get it without grabbing it. Just like Xian'er and the old man, after so many years of ups and downs, isn't it finally reunited?"

Old Man Wei nodded and sighed, with a faint smile on his face: "It's really thanks to you this time, the emperor didn't see the wrong person."

Today, Xian'er and the old emperor are reunited, and Lin Wanrong is reunited with Uncle Wei. It's really a double happiness. The fairy father and daughter talked for a long time, and the palace of the Qing Dynasty was lit until late at night, and Lin Wanrong also stayed in the palace. After talking with Uncle Wei Bingzhuye, many of the previous questions gradually became clear, and my heart was really happy. Just looking at Xian'er and the old emperor's happy family reunion, Lin Wanrong was relieved, but at the same time a little disappointed. Everyone in the world has parents, and everyone can enjoy themselves, but he is an exception. On the surface, it looks like the spring breeze is everywhere, but it is rootless. It doesn't know where to float. It is thousands of times more lonely than the monkey grandson who jumped out of the stone crevice.

There was something in his heart, and he slept until the middle of the night, but he couldn't close his eyes no matter what. The spring was cold and dew was heavy, and some faint dew had condensed outside the window. A crescent moon hung in the air, and a little bit of firefly was sprinkled down. It was an indescribable cold feeling. Putting on a long gown, he pushed open the door, and stomped out slowly. A faint cold air hit him, which made his drowsy mind suddenly sober a lot.

The old emperor's room was still not extinguished, soft voices and sobbing could be heard from time to time, Lin Wanrong could hear it clearly, it was Xian'er's voice. He couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling. This girl, reunited with her father, cried from beginning to end, not knowing whether she was too sad or too happy.

When I came out of the Qianqing Palace, I saw a yard next to it, so I walked over. The courtyard was very close to the Qianqing Palace, and it was dark. There were only a few eunuchs and palace maids on duty, taking a nap under the oil lamps.

Lin Wanrong stepped into the courtyard, only to feel a faint fragrance blowing towards his face, like orchid and musk deer, with an unusual fragrance. He felt something, looked up, saw a long picture scroll hanging in the hall, just glanced at it, and he stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning.
