Xiao Yining's face stiffened, his steps staggered, and his leg slammed the table in front of him, causing his face to turn pale in an instant—maybe there were other reasons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiao Tu turned around and looked at Xiao Yining with the support of Yu Zheng, there seemed to be a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold: "Xiao Aiqing inherited the throne, and he didn't know much about the etiquette in the palace. ”

Xiao Yining looked at Xiao Tu, only to feel that his body was as cold as ice.

There seemed to be someone whispering something around him, but he couldn't hear a word clearly, and as far as his eyes could see, he could see a pair of extremely bright, as if shining stars, but cold peach blossom eyes without a trace of emotion.

He watched Xiao Tu's mouth open and close to the right-hand woman next to her, who had been with her for several years, and then turned away without hesitation.

Xiao Yining felt that she was actually laughing, really.

She had just spoken of past kindness, and he had heard it—and they had been gracious in the past, and it made him very happy.

But why, my lips trembled, and I couldn't pull it up when I imagined it.

He froze in place, confused and unaware of who was saying what.

Someone tugged at his arm, and he looked up - oh, it was the Shuzhong Li clan that he had only met in Kyoto, and I heard that he was a very benevolent person.

Xiao Yining frowned—what did he suddenly pull me for?

He thought to himself, a little dazed.

"Lord Xiao is okay, why does his face look so ugly?"

Xiao Yining finally came back to his senses, he raised his hand and touched his face, a little suddenly, and was silent for a long time, before he whispered to Li Dechun and thanked him again, and staggered out.

At this moment, it was almost dusk, and there was only an orange-red afterglow on the horizon, reflecting the blue bricks and green tiles of the palace, showing a bit of warmth, but Xiao Yining looked at it, but only felt cold.

Penetrate deep into the bone marrow of the cold.

A fresh wind blew through the leaves, and he shivered, and suddenly became much more sober.

He remembered that a few years ago, in that little courtyard, the little girl with picturesque lips was pale and looked extremely weak—but she smiled with a very sly and beautiful smile.

At that time, she was wearing a wedding dress that had not yet had time to be changed, red, like the smoke on the horizon, extremely bright and gorgeous.

By this day, she had grown into a young girl, her body was getting thinner and thinner, her face was still exquisite, but her lips were surprisingly red, as if they were stained with blood.

She was also smiling, the corners of her mouth were extremely elegant, and her every move was perfect—but there was no emotion in her eyes.

Today, she is wearing a crown dress embroidered with a golden dragon, which is also red, as if it is soaked out of the thickest blood, extremely prosperous and extremely cold.

Xiao Yining smiled unconsciously, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and the sky was already dark.

Xiao Tu lazily sank her whole body into the soft and warm mattress, and her long inky hair spread out on the bed, making her little face more and more white and bloodless.

She closed her eyes, and when she heard Yu Zheng's light footsteps coming in, she didn't open them, and only asked casually, "How?"

Yu Zheng concisely recounted the message she had just received.

Today, the three parties of Zhennan Wang, Southwest Wang, Shuzhong, and Li came to participate in Xiaotu's enthronement ceremony at the same time, naturally not to show surrender and respect, but out of necessity.

In the past three years that Xiaotu has been a national teacher, although she has been conscientiously committed to building her future kingdom into a higher level, she has not missed the news of other forces.

Her "mayfly feather" seems to have more protection after taking the line of the imperial court, and she is more and more handy at collecting all kinds of gossip, and among the ministers in the general court, whether they are antagonists or allies, there are always some connections that do not appear on the surface, and Xiaotu uses these connections to quickly connect with the other party's senior details.

-- I have to say that the people who can still get along in the court in this troubled world always have some real skills in a certain aspect -- even corrupt officials and corrupt officials are surprisingly slippery in accumulating wealth.

First of all, it is to sow discord between Lingnan and Southwest China, so that the two can contain each other without losing and being taken advantage of by Shuzhong.

The king of the southwest is brave and unscrupulous, but the new king of Zhennan is too young - these two are not to be feared in the eyes of Xiao Tu, if he didn't want Wu Sheng to experience the feeling of losing everything, Xiao Tu would let people kill him in minutes.

Therefore, there is only one Li Dechun in Shuzhong who can enter the eyes of Xiaotu.

His reputation among the people is really good.

Unlike Xiaotu's prestige, which was brushed up after the beginning of the troubled times, the Li family in Shuzhong had a very high reputation among the people before the troubled times.

Especially in Shuzhong, almost everyone can know Li Dechun's name, and they also know what a humble gentleman this person is, gentle as jade.

The Li family was originally a big family in Shuzhong, and the virtuous emperors were basically taught by the Li family, and even the talent of the old emperor who was usurped by Xiaotu when he was young was praised by everyone.

- Although I don't know how he is crooked, this is enough to explain the status of the Li family in Shu and in the whole world.

And Li Dechun is known as the person with the most legacy of the first generation of the Li family in the past hundred years.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, speaking of Li Dechun's five rules, he was born like a moral pacesetter, and in modern times, he is a living Lei Feng!

All the compliments that describe a gentle gentleman or a talented person are used in him without any sense of disobedience - or rather, it is incredible that such a family can raise the flag of rebellion in Xiaotu's eyes.

So, when he controlled the court in his hands, Xiaotu divided more than half of his mind to investigate the Li family in Shuzhong.

However, the Li family is worthy of the Li family, except for a few dead soldiers cultivated by the Yu family, most of the others are ordinary people who were taken in the "mayfly feather" in the war and then did some training.

These people are very grateful for saving Xiaotu from despair, so they are very willing to do only a few things to find out the news.

In addition, at such a time, it would not be more noticeable to collect information as a rioter.

However, what is surprising is that the ordinary people she sent to Shuzhong would still have some news of the Li family at first, but later, the news that came out was all a praise of the Li family.

There are even several people who stayed in Shu and got rid of the "mayfly feather".

-- When Xiaotu incorporated these displaced people in the name of "pacifying the war and returning the world to stability", he had already expected that some people might not be able to help but leave, but he did not expect that these people would all defect to Shuzhong.
