It's been almost two hours, and now it's getting up and down outside, no matter how high Xiao Yike's martial arts are, no matter how good his body is, he can't bear it.

Moreover, one is kneeling and suffering outside, and the other is standing inside and feeling distressed, so why bother......

Xiao Zhenglin's face did not move, but there was vicissitudes and helplessness in his eyes, and he said: "If I don't see him, he won't get up!"

He understands best how stubborn this son is.

When Lu An heard this, his old face wrinkled: "How is that good......"

Your Majesty has made up your mind not to see Your Highness, otherwise, you wouldn't have stood here and watched for two hours in a row, obviously distressed, but still refused to see it.

Xiao Zhenglin thought about it, looked fixedly at the figure kneeling in the sunlight in the distance outside the window, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let him in!"

The scorching sun has been on his knees for two hours without moving, if he really doesn't see him, it is estimated that this child will have to kneel until tomorrow.

As soon as Xiao Yike came in, he saw Xiao Zhenglin sitting behind the imperial case, and he didn't do anything, so he directly asked: "Father, why are you doing this?"

Xiao Zhenglin looked at Xiao Yike quietly and was silent.

Xiao Yike then gritted his teeth and asked: "You obviously know that she is worry-free, it is you who have been looking for worry-free for more than ten years, why do you still join forces with Wei to deal with Chu State, why do you want to hurt her like this?"

If you don't know, it's excusable, but if you know everything, why do you know what you can't do?

He could even guess what kind of state of mind he must have been in when he received the news.

Xiao Zhenglin looked at Xiao Yike's righteous indignation, listened to his voice and asked, his face remained unchanged, he didn't answer, he just spoke slowly, and asked lightly: "You must know all about Changle?"

Xiao Yike was stunned, obviously, he didn't expect Xiao Zhenglin to suddenly mention this matter.

His face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he frowned and looked at Xiao Zhenglin: "Could it be that my father ordered to send troops to Chu State for her?"

Xiao Zhenglin was silent and did not deny it, but he did not admit it.

Yes and no.

However, Xiao Yike acquiesced, his face sank, and he immediately spoke: "Father, ......"

Xiao Zhenglin lightly interrupted Xiao Yike's words: "The matter of Changle is now known to everyone!"

Xiao Yike was stunned.

Xiao Zhenglin's sword eyebrows were tightly twisted, and his face was full of helplessness, he said: "I let people hide this matter, but it backfired, and I couldn't hide it after all, now everyone knows that Changle was abolished, and everyone knows that Changle is my favorite daughter, and now her face is ruined, and this matter is done by the regent princess of Chu State, the matter has come to this, in addition to sending troops, what reason do you let me take to solve this matter?"

Now, this matter is not just a grievance between two women, but has risen to a grievance between the two countries, and it is on the table, the regent princess of Chu disfigured Princess Liguo, not to mention, but also cut the tendons and veins to cause cripplement, which has involved the face of the royal families of the two countries, and it cannot be settled with a word.

Therefore, it was also a helpless move, of course, this was just an additional reason for him to send troops.

When Xiao Yike heard this, he sneered: "As long as my father really wants to settle this matter, there is a way, why make such a big move!"

Whether it is a hundred civil and military officials, or the people of Liguo, when did he care about their opinions?

Back then, because he cared about the wishes of his subjects, he lost his beloved daughter, and since then, he has long since stopped paying attention to the wishes of his subjects.

Therefore, Xiao Yike does not believe this reason.

Xiao Zhenglin was silent, indeed, he had a way to calm down the matter, as long as he didn't make a statement, no matter how indignant Rao Shili was the subjects of Liguo, it was useless, but silence could only cure the symptoms but not the root cause.

What he wants to do is not to whitewash the peace, but to take this opportunity to achieve the effect he wants, once and for all!

Xiao Yike suddenly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son, please ask my father to take back his fate, and while it has not been a big mistake now, please think twice, don't let things develop to the point where it is difficult to end!"

Now that the two countries have not confronted each other head-to-head, there is still room for redemption.

However, Xiao Zhenglin's attitude was resolute, and he said impatiently: "The will has been made, and it is impossible to take back the fate, you don't have to say it again!"

Xiao Yike saw that Xiao Zhenglin was unmoved, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, do you want to let Wuwu hate you for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Zhenglin's face stiffened, the hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and a touch of grief flashed in his calm eyes.

Xiao Yike looked at Xiao Zhenglin with a sad gaze, gritted his teeth and said: "Back then, you sent her away in order to appease the people, and almost let her die on the cliff, so many years, she suffered a lot, and finally survived, and finally got happiness, but you treat her like this, she is worry-free, she is the daughter you care about the most, do you want her to hate you for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Yike knows very well that once this matter really reaches the point where it can't end, it will be impossible for her to forgive her father and emperor anymore, and even make enemies of the entire Liguo.

Xiao Zhenglin lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "Since she hates me, what if she hates more?"

Xiao Yike's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he looked at his heart in disbelief: "Father!"

Xiao Zhenglin closed his eyes in pain, as if sighing: "Hate it, hate it, if it is...... She can feel more comfortable......"

Xiao Yike was shocked and looked at him fixedly: "What do you mean by this? Father, what do you want to do?"

He has always understood Xiao Zhenglin's mind best, but today, he doesn't understand what it is for......

Obviously, he knew that that was his favorite daughter, and he knew that everything he did was hurting her, but he still insisted on doing this......

If this really continues, everything will be difficult to end, the state of Chu is very kind to her, once the two countries really go to war, what she will do, it is already clear at a glance.

Speaking of which, no matter what, the most painful thing is herself after all.

Xiao Zhenglin didn't answer him, but said lightly: "Ke'er, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, step down!"

When Xiao Yike heard this, he didn't say anything about Xiao Zhenglin's words, but said coldly: "Father, you know, it's impossible for Erchen to ignore this matter, Wufu is not only your daughter, but also the sister that Erchen cares about the most, I will never allow anyone to hurt her, even if it's my father, no, since you refuse to take back your order to withdraw your troops, then Erchen can only personally stop this matter, no matter what method is used, I will definitely not let Wuwu be embarrassed!"

After saying that, he did not stop, but turned and walked out the door.

Xiao Zhenglin watched him leave and didn't stop him, but his face was not very good, and the emotions in his eyes were difficult to distinguish.

What does he want to hurt?

Not long after, Lu An, who was guarding outside, walked in quickly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin was invited to the Changxin Hall by Aunt Lin, who was beside the imperial concubine!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhenglin frowned: "You asked people to tell her?"

Lu An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how dare the old slave disturb the imperial concubine? His Royal Highness has been kneeling outside for so long, and the whole palace knows about it, how can the imperial concubine not know!"

Even if he is bold, he doesn't dare to disturb the imperial concubine, others may not know, but as Xiao Zhenglin's close attendant eunuch, he knows the emperor's character best, although the imperial concubine is not the person His Majesty loves, but she is the most important woman around Your Majesty, for so many years, no woman can get Your Majesty's good face, even the queen is deeply disgusted by Your Majesty, but only the imperial concubine has always won the respect of Your Majesty, Your Majesty once said, whoever dares to disturb the imperial concubine's recuperation without authorization will be executed!

Even the queen, who has always been against His Majesty, is very jealous of the imperial concubine and never provokes.

I still remember that a few years ago, there was a concubine, because she had such a somewhat similar face, so she was favored, and she was named a concubine in one fell swoop, and once favored the harem, and His Majesty also responded to her requests and was very indulgent, but the new favorite was spoiled, knowing that the imperial concubine was disabled, and actually broke into the Changxin Palace to offend the imperial concubine, His Majesty was furious when he learned of this, and directly ordered to enter the cold palace, and then gave a glass of wine, leaving no mercy.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhenglin's face turned slightly pale.

Returning to his usual indifference, Xiao Zhenglin said lightly: "Send someone to see, and report if there is any situation!"

"Yes!"

After Lu An retreated, only Xiao Zhenglin himself was left in the hall.

He sat there quietly, and after a long time, he picked up a few folds on the side and put pen to review.

As soon as Xiao Yike stepped out of the Qianyuan Palace, he was personally invited to the Changxin Hall by Aunt Lin.

When he arrived at the Changxin Palace, the imperial concubine was in the garden behind the Changxin Palace, sitting in a wheelchair, holding scissors to trim a small pine and cypress in front of her, very pleasant.

Xiao Yike walked in and knelt down on one knee towards the imperial concubine to say goodbye: "Erchen greets the mother concubine!"

When the imperial concubine heard the voice, she immediately asked the palace people behind her to turn her around, and when she saw Xiao Yike, her face was difficult to hide the softness, and then, she frowned: "Why do you look so haggard?

Xiao Yike pursed his lips and said, "Erchen came back from the night and didn't have time to bathe and change clothes!"

The imperial concubine looked at her with a slight reproach: "You kid is really ......" paused, she didn't train, but said helplessly: "Okay, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

The imperial concubine looked Xiao Yike up and down, and after a moment, she raised her eyebrows: "Look at your expression, it seems that you quarreled with Your Majesty just now?"

Xiao Yike pursed his lips and was silent, his face unchanged.

Seeing him like this, the imperial concubine also knew what had just happened, sighed helplessly, turned her head to look at the people behind her, and said lightly: "Stand down!"

"Yes!"

It wasn't until all the surrounding palace people retreated, and in the entire garden, only the mother and son were left, that the imperial concubine asked with a serious face: "Do you know what Changle's situation is now?"

Xiao Yike shook his head: "Erchen doesn't know!"

I've only heard of it.

The imperial concubine twisted her eyebrows and said: "The injury is extremely serious, if it weren't for King Jingyang recommending a skilled doctor to enter the palace for timely diagnosis and treatment, she is afraid that she will be paralyzed on the bed in this life, although the tendons and veins are all taken back, but when it will be healed, I don't know, even if it is cured, it will not be the past!"

Xiao Yike was obviously not in the mood to listen to this, looked at the imperial concubine and asked, "What did the mother concubine do with her son?"

He doesn't care about Changle, as long as he doesn't die, the rest, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, who is to blame for taking the blame?

The imperial concubine said helplessly: "The concubine just wants you to understand that Your Majesty has to do this as a last resort!"

In today's situation, it is not too much to say that it is difficult to ride a tiger.

This matter is already known to everyone in Liguo, no matter what Changle is, she is nominally the princess of Changle in Liguo, and she is the princess of the first queen's concubine whose status is above all the princes, but she has been mutilated to this point, and the person who mutilated her is the regent princess of Chu State, if Liguo does not pursue it, it needs a convincing enough reason, but there is no other way than to announce the scandal, but this matter cannot be announced, this is not just a scandal that confuses the royal blood, so it cannot be said unless it is absolutely necessary！

The so-called cold lips and teeth are actually the same truth.

Therefore, crusading against the State of Chu is the best way, anyway, it is just an attitude, and what is the situation of the war after that, doesn't it all depend on the situation?

Hearing this, Xiao Yike twisted his eyebrows and looked at the imperial concubine: "Mother, do you also support your father to do this?"

The imperial concubine nodded: "This matter was decided by me and His Majesty!"

Xiao Yike's face changed greatly: "What did you say?"

The imperial concubine's face was calm, and she said softly: "The matter of Changle has been spread for many days, and the subjects are boiling, these days, the ministers have played, saying that the Chu State is bullying people too much, and humiliating my Li State so far, it is really unbearable, let Your Majesty order the troops to send the Chu State, seek justice for Changle, and let the Chu State pay the price, and not only the Tang family has added fuel to the fire, because this matter has hurt the face of the Li State, even those military generals who are loyal to Your Majesty have also asked for troops, all of them are extremely excited, but Your Majesty has not expressed her position!"

"So?"

"Three days ago, Your Majesty came to Changxin Hall to dine with me, we talked for a long time, and on the second day, Your Majesty made an order!"

Xiao Yike looked at his mother concubine in disbelief, and his face was very ugly: "It was the mother concubine who persuaded my father to send troops?

The imperial concubine pursed her lips, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she said in a low voice: "This is the best way!"

Other than that, she couldn't think of any other way.

"Erchen doesn't understand ......"

The imperial concubine interrupted Xiao Yike's words: "It's not that you don't understand, but you can't be ruthless!"

Xiao Yike was stunned.

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly and said in a low voice with unknown meaning: "Actually, this is also a good opportunity, isn't it?"

Xiao Yike was silent.

Is this a good opportunity?

He didn't know.

He only knew that after this incident, no matter whether she succeeded or failed, she would not forgive them again.

The imperial concubine had a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were moist, and she said faintly: "Only if she really hates Your Majesty, hates this country, and hates everything here, she will never have the idea of coming back, as long as she doesn't come back, Your Majesty and I will rest assured, as for anything else, it doesn't matter!"

Xiao Yike was stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of the imperial concubine's words, but he ......

"But doesn't the concubine want to see her?"

Ever since I learned that she was alive, I have been looking forward to seeing her......

The imperial concubine was in a trance for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if you see it or not, the important thing is that she can live well......"

After a while, she looked ahead in a trance, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is right, there are some sins, it is enough for us to bear them, there is no need to let her bear them again, stay away from here, it is not a good thing for her!"

Perhaps, the departure of that year was not unfortunate, but another kind of favor......

Xiao Yike was silent.

That's right, there are some sins, and it is enough for them to bear them......

The imperial concubine raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yike, and said softly: "Ke'er, you should understand, the so-called lesser of two evils, the heavier of the two benefits, we can't change the fait accompli, the only thing we can do is to protect what we care about the most, and minimize the damage. But there are some injuries that cannot be avoided, and the matter has come to this point, do everything you can to keep Wuwu away from here forever, and not come back to face these sins and killings, this is the only thing My Majesty and I can do for her as parents!"

There are some truths, when you don't know, you may hate and hurt, but it's better than knowing that everything is like ashes.

No matter how strong the human heart is, when the faith is shattered and everything insisted on becomes a joke, no one can bear it, and it is better to live with hatred than to despair and never recover.

Time can dilute everything.

Xiao Yike understood these words of the imperial concubine the most, and he also knew what Xiao Zhenglin was doing this for, but, after thinking about it, he still twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The meaning of the father and the mother concubine, the sons and daughters understand, but the mother and the sons do not agree with you and the father's approach!"

The imperial concubine looked at him.

Xiao Yike said in a deep voice: "There are some things that can't be hidden, do you really think that she won't come back if you and your father do this? She will always come back here, and she will always face everything here, whether it is pain or happiness, she should bear it, you and your father may not be able to change the result if you do this!"

How stubborn she is, Xiao Yike doesn't know, even if she hates, hates the people and things here, it is impossible for her not to really come back, after all, the belief that has been adhered to for more than ten years cannot be shaken overnight.

The imperial concubine smiled lightly: "Your Majesty and I don't understand this, but there are some things that may not change anything if you do it, but if you don't do it, you really can't change anything!"

Xiao Yike's face was extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "But concubine, don't you understand? Once the two countries fight, it will be the price of bloodshed, just for this possibility, is it worth it? If you ...... in the future? How do you let Worry-Free deal with yourself?"

In this way, the two countries are at war, and all the souls and killings are the sins she will bear!

It's too heavy!

The imperial concubine was silent for a moment, and then, she smiled faintly and whispered, "So what......

Xiao Yike froze.

The imperial concubine raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yike, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but there was a faint sadness in her eyes, and she said softly: "Ke'er, do you remember?" When the disaster in the north was great, all the spearheads were pointed at Wuwu, and the people of the entire Liguo country blamed a natural disaster on a six-year-old child, and all of them forced His Majesty to execute Wuwu, and His Majesty had no choice but to send someone to send her away, and because of this, Wuwu was gone forever, for a full twelve years, life and death are unknown, although the initiator of all this is someone else, but innocent people, how can they not be accomplices?"

Xiao Yike's brows were tightly furrowed, he was silent, and the hand hanging down at his side was already twisted into a ball, trembling slightly.

The imperial concubine said: "Your Majesty has a lot of children, but between Your Majesty and them, first the monarch and the minister, then the father and son, but Worry-free is different, in Your Majesty's heart, Worry-free is just his daughter, this is not only because Worry-free was born to Jing Fei, but more importantly, among so many children, only this one daughter, let him truly experience the joy and pride of being a father, just like His Majesty himself said, this kind of deep feeling of licking calves, no less than his King's Landing stopped to point out the country!"

Xiao Yike was a little moved when he heard this.

He knows these things very well, why is he not like this?

He has so many brothers and sisters, but he cares so much about this sister, isn't it because this one sister is the only one who really depends on him and is close to him?

For his father, no matter what happened back then, worry-free is always the daughter born to him by his favorite woman, he was carried into the Qianyuan Palace from birth, all his father's love, all expectations, are all poured into this daughter, this daughter is so innocent and simple, bringing him countless joys, but it makes him feel so warm, which is the most rare and precious for him who was born in the royal family and grew up in the struggle for imperial power and calculations since he was a child, and it is precisely because of this that he especially prefers this daughter.

At that time, worry-free, so likable, putting aside their respective interests and positions, who could not like her?

"Back then, in order to appease the people, His Majesty sent away Wuwu, in exchange for a bad news, so many years, His Majesty sent so many people to secretly search, but there was no news, he told me, he always couldn't help but think, whether Wuwu is dead or alive, where is the person, whether he is fed and clothed, will he be afraid, whether he was arrested by those people and locked up in an unknown place, or is he wandering and can't find his way home...... She's still so young, just a child who doesn't understand anything, won't she be bullied outside......"

Xiao Zhenglin is a good emperor, maybe not anymore, but back then, he was definitely a good emperor who loved the people like a son, and in just a few years after becoming the emperor, the entire Liguo Haiyan River was clear, the country was rich and strong, and when he learned of the snow disaster in the north, he did not hesitate to go to check what was going on, and later caused the plague, he did not leave, but stayed there, and almost put his life there, but even so, it was just a rumor of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star without evidence, and the people of the entire Liguo country forced him to execute his daughter......

So in the past twelve years, his violent temperament and ruthless heart have not been without reason after all.

Looking at Xiao Yike, the corners of the imperial concubine's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning hung on her lips, she slowly spoke: "So, as long as we can achieve the goal we want, as long as we can be carefree, we can live well according to what Your Majesty and I expect, what is this price?"

Even if there will be retribution in the future, it has nothing to do with her.

Xiao Yike was silent for a long time, and after all, he didn't say anything, turned around, and left the Changxin Palace.

The imperial concubine didn't stop him, she made it clear what she should say.

Staring at the direction of Xiao Yike's departure, after a long time, her eyes moved slightly, she looked up, looking at the blue sky, and was in a trance.

A whisper faintly came out of her mouth: "If you knew that your insistence back then would have caused today's situation, would you regret it?"

Will it?

The news of Xiao Yike's departure from the Changxin Hall soon reached Xiao Zhenglin.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is out of the palace!"

Xiao Zhenglin paused for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Lu An: "How?"

Lu An replied in a low voice: "His Royal Highness looked calm when he left the palace, I think I figured it out!"

Xiao Zhenglin was silent for a moment before he hummed and said lightly: "Stand down!"

After speaking, I continued to review the folds, and there was nothing unusual.

Everything in the palace can't hide Tang Hui's ears and eyes, and naturally, what happened in the Qianyuan Hall and Changxin Hall today can't be hidden.

When he heard the report from his subordinates, Tang Hui was by the fish pond in Weiyang Palace, slowly sprinkling fish food to feed the fish.

Hearing the palace maid's report, she squinted her eyes, her expression was unknown, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she waved her hand and asked the palace maid to step back.

After the palace maid stepped back, she quietly stared at the koi fish wandering gracefully in the fish pond, with mixed emotions in her eyes, and then smiled meaninglessly......
