In the middle of the palace is the Taihe Hall where King Qin went to court and handled daily government affairs.

Ninety-nine white stone steps are made of a boulder. The center of the staircase is parted by a giant carving, and a dragon holds a large sun in one claw.

The Taihe Hall sits on the stone platform high on the ground, and the golden tile and red pillar are extraordinary, like an emperor looking down on all beings.

Under the guidance of an old eunuch with a kind face, Zhang Xiao soon came to the imperial study.

The eunuch bowed and retreated, and Zhang Xiao pushed the door in, and saw a figure crouched on the bookcase to review the folds, and a wisp of pale in his low-hanging black hair was so dazzling.

Zhang Xiao felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, he knew that this was just the instinctive reaction of this body, but he also secretly made up his mind to take care of his father for the original Li Yitian.

Hearing the sound, the figure raised his head, and King Qin's originally majestic face was full of kindness the moment he saw the comer, and there was also a trace of imperceptible distress hidden in it: "Tian'er, are you here?"

Zhang Xiao saluted according to his memory and got up and replied: "The son is not filial, this time he insisted on going his own way to worry his father, and the son will never do something similar in the future."

Qi Qi father, the son's body is no longer harmed, but between life and death, it seems to have a big dream, experienced many strange things, the child's behavior may be a little different from before, and I hope the father will forgive me. ”

Li Ye saw that Li Yitian's speech and demeanor were normal, and most of his hanging heart had already been put down, and as for what Li Yitian said and behaved, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

He was even more pleased that Li Yitian knew to consider the feelings of his parents and thought that the child had grown up, and he had to say that he had pity for the hearts of parents all over the world.

Li Ye waved his sleeves and instructed Zhang Xiao: "Go and see your queen mother, don't worry about disturbing her rest." I don't know if you're awake, her dream heart is also hanging. ”

After Zhang Xiao left, a black shadow flashed into the imperial study, the black shadow was a black-clothed masked man, his voice was hoarse, he couldn't tell how old he was, but there was a sharp glow in his exposed eyes, obviously his cultivation was not low.

The man in black knelt down on one knee to Li Ye: "Your Majesty, the prince seems to be a little wrong, the minister just followed the prince all the way, and leaked a little breath of himself during the process." A martial arts genius like the second prince should not be unaware, and the prince's cultivation is afraid that it will be ......."

Li Ye's face suddenly lost the kindness he had at the beginning, and he said with a gloomy face: "Are you sure that the emperor's martial arts are no longer there?"

The man in black bowed: "The minister is sure." ”

Li Ye's face changed uncertainly, and he said for a long time: "I thought that Tian'er noticed that I wanted to make Jin'er the prince, so he would take this risky strategy to increase his bargaining chips." I don't want such a thing to happen, causing my Daqin to lose a general in vain. ”

The man in black was silent, the monarch had already revealed the intention of appointing the eldest prince as the prince, not that the second prince was not good enough, but that the family surnamed Mi behind the mother concubine of the eldest prince Li Jin was extremely powerful.

The patriarch surnamed Mi Cheng'an was a thoughtful person, and took the initiative to cut the flesh and sue for peace with the King of Qin and handed over most of the clan's power, which triggered the first purge of the Qin State to everyone in the clan. And the quid pro quo proposed by Mi Cheng'an to Li Ye, the king of Qin, was that if Li Jin had the posture of an emperor, the king of Qin must appoint Li Ye as the prince.

In fact, the original Li Yitian also wanted to take a risk because he heard the news, add some chips for himself, and wait for the future, but after all, he lost his life together. This is the fake "Li Yitian" at this time.

Zhang Xiao came out of the imperial study and came to the Qifeng Palace where the queen lived, and after explaining the intention, the palace maid hurriedly entered the palace to report. Within a few minutes, Zhang Xiao saw a middle-aged beautiful woman running out barefoot, with tears on her beautiful face.

She rushed out and hugged Zhang Xiao: "Son, you finally woke up! If you can't wake up, how can your mother live!"

Being held in the arms of a strange and familiar woman, Zhang Xiao was embarrassed, and after listening to the words of the perfect woman, her body involuntarily hugged her: "Queen Mother, the son is not filial, which makes you worried." ”

The queen looked at him with a look of disgust: "Didn't my mother tell you that between our mother and son, it would be good if you just called me mother?" I like to hear you call me mother, what is the queen mother, and there are no outsiders here. ”

Zhang Xiao sweated in his heart, he didn't expect that he would have such a queen mother.

Originally, Zhang Xiao just wanted to report his safety and leave, so that the queen could rest for a while.

As a result, the queen grabbed him and didn't let go, starting from Li Yitian's childhood, saying that after half an hour, his body couldn't hold it and fell asleep before he was helped into the palace by the palace maid, for fear that Zhang Xiao would forget her.

This had to make Zhang Xiao once again feel sorry for his parents in the world, and the pots he carried were all left over from his evil previous life.

After reporting safety to everyone, Zhang Xiao finally returned to his mansion. After he sat down, he hurriedly poured a cup of herbal tea into his mouth, and it was so easy to sweat when wearing ancient clothes.

Then Zhang Xiao asked Shao Xue'er, who was standing on the sidelines, "Xue'er, then, can you get me something to eat?" ”

Shao Xue'er said with a smile: "Your Highness, the meal has already been prepared when Your Highness goes to the palace, please wait for a while, and Xue'er will serve you food." ”

After a while, a series of brightly colored dishes were served, the dishes not only had a good appearance and fragrance, but also made Zhang Xiao secretly feel that this life was in vain.

Look at the dishes on the table, the nourishing medicinal soup made by the three-year-old rooster stewed with a century-old ginseng, the nameless slices of meat that chew and make the mouth feel fragrant, and the palm-sized small silver fish that is boneless and thornless, delicious and delicate...... Zhang Xiao, who ate this meal, was addicted.

Shao Xue'er on the side was dumbfounded, His Royal Highness the prince, we understand that the food is delicious, but don't you use chopsticks to eat?

After eating, Zhang Xiao quickly entered the sage mode, and calmly ordered in Shao Xue'er's "stunned" gaze: "Don't lose the unfinished dishes, I will continue to eat tomorrow morning."

Later, I can send the bath soup into my room, and I don't need to wait.

In addition, tonight I went to the back garden to be alone, and no one was allowed to enter the back garden. With that, he slipped away alone.

After washing, Zhang Xiao lay alone in the back garden, looking at the stars in the sky, recalling the past of his previous life, and missing his distant parents, relatives, and friends.

Something suddenly broke into his mind, it seemed to be illusory and reality, and the loneliness of a person wandering in another world was a darkness that could never be eliminated.

The pervasive loneliness shattered the young man's fragile defenses in the night.

Zhang Xiao slowly curled up his body, and said silently in his heart: "Goodbye Mom and Dad, you must be well, goodbye my friend, you have to take care." I'm going to try to survive here. ”
