As soon as the door was closed, it was more than an hour, and the guests dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only the newlyweds who had not yet married and the restless subordinates. No one knew what was going on, but everyone knew that the feast was over.

Li Zongzhi stood by the window and didn't speak, and Meng Changlong and Bai Geyue were just waiting there, not knowing why, they didn't dare to make a mistake. They don't know what the emperor suddenly came for, since they were placed under house arrest here, the emperor has hardly come, today is the wedding day of Qin Chi in Mohan Nangong, the emperor did not hesitate to interrupt the wedding and call the two of them away, this kind of behavior alone makes people sit on pins and needles, speculation is difficult to settle.

I don't know how long it has been, it seems that even the air in the room has condensed, Li Zongzhi finally took a long breath and turned around, and did not look at the two of them, but walked to the table step by step and sat down.

"I still remember that when I was five years old, my aunt brought Bai Yan into Beijing. ”

Hearing him suddenly talk about the past, Bai Geyue was shocked, and involuntarily glanced at Meng Changlong, and then walked to the table and picked up the teapot simmering on the small stove.

"It's too long, concubine, I don't remember it very well. She lowered her eyebrows and poured the tea carefully, but there was still water spilling out of the teacup, staining the pear wood square table. Li Zongzhi took the cup without moving, took a sip, put it in his hand, and fell silent again.

That waiting is torment, Bai Geyue and Meng Changlong glanced at each other, and picked up the teapot again, but Li Zongzhi clasped his fingertips and blocked the cup noodles.

"Your Majesty!" The warm tea almost poured into Li Zongzhi's hand, Bai Geyue shouted, but he didn't speak, only clasped the mouth of the cup, and went back and forth.

"If the emperor has something to say, you might as well say it directly. Meng Changlong knew that the emperor definitely had something to do today, and it might still be something very important and something that needed to be considered. He is a military general, and he can't understand the tricks of Wenchen to guess the king's heart, and he only knows that he can discuss it when he has something to say. Bai Geyue was thoughtful, and as soon as she heard the emperor's words, she knew that it was wrong, but it was too late to stop the Hou Ye, so she had to stand aside with a secret sigh.

Li Zongzhi lowered his head and thought about it, then suddenly got up and smiled at Bai Geyue, and said, "Auntie doesn't remember, I seem to remember some." ”

After he finished speaking, he paced back to the window, only stretched out his hand and pushed, reflecting the spring color of the garden.

"I remember that I knew that my aunt was coming, so I secretly climbed the rockery with Baicha, wanting to follow my aunt out of the palace. It's a pity that he was discovered by the little eunuch, and when he pulled, Bai Cha stumbled and fell, Bai Yan was standing next to the rockery at the time, and it was he who blocked the force of the fall for Bai Cha, but he hit his elbow and cut a long wound. ”

"No wonder, Yan'er also said that it was caused by falling while playing in the Imperial Garden, and it turned out that there was such a play. Bai Geyue really didn't know about this, Bai Yan at that time was not Bai Yan, but Bai Yan.

When Yan'er came back, she said that she had fallen, and Bai Geyue didn't care about it, the wound was on the elbow, and there was a big scar.

Thinking of the past, Bai Geyue couldn't help but feel sad, and her mind turned, but she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yes, right here, such a long wound should have left a big scar. Li Zongzhi tilted his head and looked at his elbows, which made Bai Geyue tremble, and he couldn't help but clench his hands.

"Yes, yes, the scar is still on Yan'er's elbow. Bai Geyue's voice trembled slightly, and Meng Changlong listened to the two of them going back and forth, and suddenly became uneasy.

What's wrong with the emperor today? Did he just come over to talk about this? Why did he suddenly mention Yan'er? Could it be that Yan'er has a whereabout? Countless questions turned around in his heart, and he wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, Meng Changlong's face was slightly red, and he throbbed.

"Your Majesty—"

"Master Hou!"

His words were still in his mouth, and Bai Geyue had already interrupted with a loud shout. Li Zongzhi suddenly looked up at Bai Geyue, and said with a sneer: "Auntie is really a person, I respect you as my aunt, and I am the sister of the Queen Mother's mother, so I have repeatedly tolerated it, but unfortunately you don't seem to take me in your eyes at all, do you think I am still the yellow-mouthed child at the beginning, let you say that it is convenient and round!"

"The emperor is serious!" Bai Geyue knelt heavily on her knees, but her body was still straight: "The concubine doesn't know what he did to make the emperor so angry, although Bai Yan didn't say goodbye, but he didn't rebel against the emperor's heart, as soon as the Hou Ye was loyal to the Great Jin, the concubine was happy to stay in peace, and there was no transgression, if the emperor came to Xingshi today to ask for the crime, he would give a name, otherwise the concubine and the Hou Ye would really be unclear!"

"Okay! You want a name, right?!" Li Zongzhi grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground: "I'll give it to you." ”

A piece of paper fell to the ground, Bai Geyue bent down to pick it up, and after only one glance, it was like cold water pouring on the top, and it was completely cold.

"Madam?" Meng Changlong saw that something was wrong, took out the letterhead from Bai Geyue's hand and looked at it, his body suddenly stiffened, he swayed two steps, and knelt on the ground with a "snap".

"A man is about to die, but his words are good. The life of the Xuandao people is not long in coming, and I ordered the people to look for him for so long, and it is time to make an end to this matter!"

"Your Majesty!" Bai Geyue's body trembled involuntarily, she knelt forward two steps, and one bowed down in front of Li Zongzhi: "One person's words——"

"Meng Baiyan is in the palace now! Auntie, is this still trying to quibble for him? Otherwise, we will take him out now to see how he has hidden from the people of the world to sit in the position of this little marquis!" Li Zongzhi shouted angrily, Bai Geyue raised her head in surprise when she heard that, and after meeting Li Zongzhi's eyes, her body went weak and fell to the ground.

"Madam!" Meng Changlong rushed over and hugged her, seeing that her eyes were full of tears, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Master Hou, Yan'er...... He's back...... Came back......"

In such a situation, if he comes back, it will be really more auspicious! The emperor's family has always valued the bloodline the most, and he hid from everyone to put a child of unknown origin in the position of the hereditary little marquis, and now it is known by the emperor, no matter how serious Bai Yan is, it is a capital crime-

No!

No, no!

It wasn't he who made this decision in the first place, so how could he be made to bear this mistake!

"Your Majesty—" Bai Geyue pushed Meng Changlong away and knocked in front of Li Zongzhi again: "All this is not Bai Yan's fault, he was just a child at the time, he was only eight years old! I chose this path for him, I lost my son and grieved, so I deceived him, and when he lost his memory, I recognized him as his son, I told him that I was his mother, I gave him the identity of the little marquis, and gave him a home that did not belong to him, he didn't know it from beginning to end, he didn't know it at all!"

"What nonsense! Do you think I will still believe your words after you have deceived me? I still remember the burning words in my aunt's mouth when the Wu clan tried to prove his identity in the court! Now it seems that it was really a joke, you have played with so many ministers in the court, but you still want me to believe any word you say now? Tell you, I don't believe it, don't believe a word!"

"Your Majesty, the minister can testify that all this is what Weichen and his wife meant. Yan'er really didn't know anything, he still thought that we were his biological father and mother, the emperor, the minister is willing to guarantee with his life, and he also hopes that the emperor will open up the Internet, and the minister is willing to bear all the consequences!" Meng Changlong slammed his forehead on the ground, crying blood, and the words were true. This is the desperate heart of parents for their children when the crisis comes, and they would rather be crushed to pieces than protect their children!

Li Zongzhi looked at him coldly, in addition to anger in his heart, there was also an inexplicable sense of jealousy.

That's it! When they wanted to expose Meng Baiyan's identity before the ministers, they did not hesitate to give up Chengle's million troops, and gave up the glory and wealth they once had, just like now, desperately protecting Meng Baiyan's thoughtfulness. At the beginning, it was because they needed to get back their troops, so now, what qualifications do they have to negotiate with them now.

"Even now, you are still so stubborn!"

"No, we're just begging the emperor to keep Yan'er alive. Bai Geyue's forehead was already oozing blood, but she still kept knocking down: "Yan'er, he really doesn't know anything, although he is not the real little marquis, but he has never disgraced the reputation of the royal family and the Hou Mansion! He threw his blood for the emperor and for the country of the Great Jin Dynasty, everything he did was worthy of his status and identity! The emperor, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, even if he is just a civilian, he can't erase his heart to protect the emperor." If he can give up everything and leave, it means that he is not greedy for glory, as long as the emperor lets him go, no matter where he goes, as long as he is alive. The emperor, the emperor ......"

That sentence hit people's hearts, even wood would be moved, Li Zongzhi stood silently for a long time, closed his eyes, and raised his head.

"The town where they stayed had changed, Flawless was nowhere to be found, and Bai Yan was brought back by Baili. I can let him live, but I can't let him live as a little marquis anymore. Although Li Zongzhi's words were very light, they made Meng Changlong and Bai Geyue hopeful.

"I will allow you to see him once, but after that, his whereabouts can no longer be found, if I know that there are no more people to pursue his whereabouts, I will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! After Li Zongzhi finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and Bai Geyue knelt on the spot in despair, and cried bitterly the moment the door was slammed.

Yan'er, all this is my mother's fault, it's my mother's fault! If it weren't for my mother's selfishness, even if you just take it with you to be a righteous son, you can get everything with your ability, but you can't go back, you can't go back......

"Madam...... Meng Changlong stretched out his hand and gently brushed the messy hair in front of Bai Geyue's forehead, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go see Yan'er, our child, come back......"
