Lou Yueqing was pulled into front of a door in the side hall, inside was a slightly simple study, because the internal organs were incomplete, only a row of bookshelves and a table, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it were no longer there, because except for sprinkling and cleaning once a month, no one would come at other times, and the palace maid who cleaned was afraid that she was not dedicated, there was dust everywhere, and it looked very cold and gloomy, a little gloomy.

However, it did not affect Rong Zhi's interest, and after letting her wait at the door, Rong Zhi walked in with great interest, and got down a wooden box that was not wild and did not know on the bookshelf with some books and picture scrolls, opened it, and saw him squatting there for a while, and then, holding a pile of paper scrolls without scrolls, he walked out with a pile of paper scrolls without scrolls, and his body was more or less dusty, but he didn't care, with a faint smile on his face, and handed her the paper scroll in his hand like a treasure.

Seeing this, Lou Yueqing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and wondered: "What is this?"

Rong Zhi smiled, pretending to be mysterious: "Won't you know if you open it and see it?"

Lou Yueqing looked at him suspiciously, but she still took a paper roll and opened it slowly.

The paper has been a little yellowed and old, obviously placed for many years, this is a painting, and the painting is not grass and trees, nor mountains and rivers, but a little girl with pink makeup, wearing a small jacket, simply combing her hair, hanging a string of small forehead ornaments on her forehead, small and cute, tilting her head and holding her little face lying on the table, smiling eyebrows and eyes, clever words and smiles, beautiful eyes, this word to describe beauty is suitable for her, although she is still young, but it is not abrupt at all.

This is her ......

She still remembers that when she was a child, most of the clothes she wore were red, because she was dressed delicately and festively, but there was only black ink on this painting, and no other colors were seen, but even so, the girl's agility and delicate were very good, which shows that the person who painted this painting must have been very attentive, and the painting is also very good.

Lou Yueqing suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Rong Zhi: "This is what you painted?"

Rong Zhi bowed his head.

Lou Yueqing picked up the others and opened them to see, they were all her, but they were all different, and then stood up, or sitting, or squatting, laughing heartily, frowning, or staring angry, or sullen......

Lou Yueqing felt a burst of joy in her heart, and even the smile on her face brightened, and she was curious: "When did you draw it?"

He didn't hide it either: "After we met for the last time!"

At that time, she had not been here for a while after she had been sneaking away for a period of time, and then she had her birthday, and then she came once, and that time, she said that she could not come to see him in the future, because his father did not allow her to contact him, and he finally spoke to her for the first time in so long at that time, and asked her if she would like to be his princess when she grew up, and she said yes, and then left, and indeed never came again, he did not know if her willingness was just childish words, but he took it seriously, and in his spare time, he asked the person who took care of him to prepare some paper and pen for him, and drew these pictures, and almost every one of them, it took him half a day。

It didn't take long for her to have an accident.

Lou Yueqing's heart was overjoyed, and she said with a smile: "It turns out that you liked me so much at that time?"

He raised an eyebrow: "You only know now?"

He never hides this, the encounter with her when he was young is one of the few rays of light in his gray life, although it is just a flash in the pan, but he has always remembered, maybe the ripples at that time are not the love between men and women, at most they like it, but, since he was a child, except for her, no one or anything has never made him have a trace of joy, so he is looking forward to really marrying her back when he grows up, and protecting her well, for so many years, he thought that Xiao Tianhuang was her, and he has been paying attention to it, so Xiao Tianhuang's situation, he is very clear, but he didn't expect that she is not her。

When it is confirmed that the person he fell in love with and married when he grew up was the same person he wanted to marry when he was a child, how happy he was, how grateful he was to the favor of fate, she may not understand.

Lou Yueqing's heart was suddenly full, she didn't say anything, she stepped forward directly, hugged Rong Zhi with her arms, still holding those paintings in her hands, her eyebrows and eyes were full of happiness, eating and laughing.

She smiled silly and muttered, "That's good......"

They can live well, they can meet and love each other when they grow up, he was not married at that time, she was not married, and it is really good to live up to the promise made when they were young.

Rong Zhi also smiled and raised his hand to hug her.

After Tang Hui openly confessed his guilt in the court, the palace exploded, and it was not calm all day, but Weiyang Palace was unusually quiet, because Weiyang Palace had been ordered to seal the palace, and there were a large number of Yulin troops guarding outside, and most of the palace eunuchs who were serving inside were also sent away, only Tang Xi and the two palace people who were serving closely were still there, and Tang Hui, since she came back from the court, was like a person who had nothing to do, as before, what should she do, but there was no sadness or joy on her face, and her eyes were empty and godless, as if she had no soul.

In Tang Xi's eyes, she was so panicked.

Xiao Zhenglin came over in the evening.

Tang Hui's actions today were beyond his expectations, almost caught him off guard, and he was puzzled in his heart, he was super thick today, he had been discussing the affairs of the Tang family and her with the ministers for most of the day, and now he had to come over.

Tang Hui was not surprised when she saw him come in, her face was calm, and she only said, "Your Majesty is finally here!"

Xiao Zhenglin looked at Tang Hui sitting on the warm couch, still the same as in the morning, her face was plain and bland, her hair was like a waterfall on her head, and she was only wearing a white dress.

Xiao Zhenglin couldn't help but be in a trance, some dusty past events in his mind, I still remember the spring of that year, when he saw her in Cheng'en Temple, she was also like today, wearing plain clothes, no powder, looking simple and gentle, she just stood under the peach tree, the petals were scattered, and the slightest rain sprinkled on her, but she was motionless, so quiet, with a touch of sadness, like a picture scroll......

Now thirty years have passed, but she is the same as back then, the years have not left too many traces on her, but it has made her heart long gone.

Seeing Xiao Zhenglin staring at her in a trance, Tang Hui couldn't help but smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile, and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that it is the first time to look at your concubine with such eyes!"

Xiao Zhenglin came back to his senses violently, his face returned to normal, still so indifferent and indifferent, as if the trance just now was just Tang Hui's illusion, he stepped forward and sat on the other side.

After sitting down, Xiao Zhenglin asked lightly: "Why do you want to do this?"

Tang Hui chuckled: "Isn't Your Majesty happy? The concubine confessed her guilt, which saved Your Majesty a lot of trouble, and also provided an opportunity for Your Majesty to get rid of the Tang family, isn't this what Your Majesty has been wanting to do for so many years?"

wanted to kill her, maybe just because she hurt the daughter he cared about the most, but wanting to get rid of the Tang family, that was Xiao Zhenglin's idea when he was young, not because the Tang family was in power, nor because the Tang family blocked him, but because back then, it was the Tang family who forced the first emperor to degrade his wife to a concubine and set up the daughter of the Tang family as the queen, and as a concubine, the Empress Dowager Wen, who should have been in charge of the main palace and the world, could only be set up as Rong Guifei, and suffered all the ridicule and grievances, and therefore, Xiao Zhenglin and his brothers and sisters, who were the concubines, were reduced to concubines, and Xiao Zhengji, as the eldest prince, was calculated to be crippled because of both civil and military affairs, and lost the qualification to inherit the throne, Xiao Zhenglin's intolerance of the Tang family is an obsession buried deep in his heart, but the Tang family has a profound and far-reaching influence, he can only wait, and over the years, because of his fear of her, Xiao Zhenglin can only endure it again and again, but it does not mean that this idea has been dispelled.

Now, her confession is bound to be a dead end, and the Tang family cannot stay out of the matter, and she can be regarded as fulfilling him.

Xiao Zhenglin was noncommittal, looked at her with twisted eyebrows, and asked lightly: "What do you want when you do this?"

Risking his own life, as well as the entire family, it is impossible to ask for nothing.

Tang Hui didn't answer, but asked with a smile: "What does Your Majesty think the concubine wants?"

Xiao Zhenglin didn't speak.

Tang Hui smiled bitterly and laughed at herself: "Actually, Your Majesty has always known what the concubine wants, but Your Majesty is unwilling to give it!"

What she wants is just one of his hearts, even if it is just a little sincerity, she is very satisfied, but unfortunately what she wants, she has never been able to get it, and all she gets is the pain he gave, how sad.

Xiao Zhenglin listened to the words, his eyes were dark, and after a moment of silence, he sighed deeply: "Everything I can give you is given to you!"

Tang Hui smiled, but there were tears in her eyes, a touch of sadness overflowed, and she smiled bitterly: "What Your Majesty gave is just some extravagant things and the honor of the queen, but these have never been what I wanted, and this is just because Jing Fei didn't want it to get my turn, but I just don't understand, she doesn't want Your Majesty's heart, why is Your Majesty always unwilling to give it to me?"

She really doesn't understand, she is no worse than Jing Fei, she treats him wholeheartedly, in order to marry him, she did not hesitate to disobey her father and brother, and even disappointed her aunt and cousin who have always loved her, she almost cut off all her retreats just to be with him, but in exchange for such an ending, for so many years, even if he has a trace of pity and tenderness for her, she may not become what she is now.

Women are really pathetic, and if they are wrong, there is no turning back, especially feelings.

Xiao Zhenglin was speechless to refute, because it was undeniable that what Tang Hui said was the truth.

He wants to give the best everything to Jing Fei, only if Jing Fei doesn't care about what he doesn't need, he will get other people's turn, and even the back position, it is only after Jing Fei's 'death' that it is Tang Hui's turn to get Tang Hui, the woman who used to be his concubine, but his heart can't afford it.

In fact, he knows very well in his heart that there are so many women in his life, and he may be sorry for a lot, but the only one who can't stand it is Tang Hui.

Tang Hui saw that he was silent, and she didn't care, she never looked forward to it anyway, after thinking about it, she suddenly said to him seriously: "Your Majesty, the concubine has never asked you for anything in her life, can I ask you for something today?"

"You say!"

Tang Hui smiled and said softly: "When the concubine dies, please ask Your Majesty to cremate the body of the concubine to ashes, and wait for Your Majesty to be buried with Your Majesty after a hundred years, is it okay?"

When Xiao Zhenglin heard this, his face was shocked, and he looked at her in surprise: "You ......"

She looked at her quietly, her eyes flashed slightly, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes, and she said softly: "This is the only request of the concubine to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Zhenglin was silent, looking at her fixedly, there was some incomprehensible complexity in his eyes, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and nodded: "I will do what you wish!"

Tang Hui hooked the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Zhenglin was silent for a while, and asked lightly, "Do you have any other requirements?"

"Other requirements......" was stunned, and for a moment, she shook her head: "No more ......"

She couldn't ask for anything more from him.

Xiao Zhenglin nodded, said no more, stood up and was about to leave.

"Your Majesty!"

Tang Hui suddenly called him.

Xiao Zhenglin paused and looked back at her.

She bit her lip, looked at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked softly, "If there was no Jing Fei back then, would Your Majesty be tempted by me?"

Xiao Zhenglin looked stunned.

She stood up slowly, looked at him, her eyes were burning with tears, and said: "I never think that I am inferior to Jing Fei, in terms of appearance and talent, in terms of family background, I am not worse than her, and even for Your Majesty, I am more sincere than her, but Your Majesty is dedicated to her, and I don't care about me, I know that Your Majesty met and fell in love with her before, I lost at the beginning, I just want to know, if there was no Jing Fei back then, Your Majesty would be tempted by me, even if it was just a little ......."

In fact, she has never been a greedy person, what she wants is very simple, as long as he has a trace of warmth and sincerity for her, she will be satisfied, but she has never had it.

Xiao Zhenglin listened to this, lowered his eyes and was silent, and thought for a long time before he met her gaze with expectation and hope, and said lightly: "In this world, there has never been an if, it is me...... I'm sorry you ......."

In life, there is no chance to start over, everything is a foregone conclusion, and now, any assumptions have no meaning.

With that, he turned around and slowly left.

Tang Hui looked at Xiao Zhenglin's departing back in a daze, the expectation in her eyes dissipated like ashes, and gradually fell silent, I don't know how long it took, she suddenly sat down on the couch, curled the corners of her mouth, and smiled stupidly......

On the second day, Xiao Zhenglin issued an order, Tang Cheng's prime minister Tang Jiao was suspected of murdering the princess, confusing the royal blood, and was removed from his post and sent to prison, and ordered Xiao Yike, the king of Jin, Xiao Yishen, the king of Pingnan, and Chi Sheng, the right minister, to investigate the case with the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, it can be seen that Xiao Zhenglin attaches great importance to this matter, although the Tang clan people are not all imprisoned, but they are also all confined in the palace, and they can be arraigned at any time, and the case will be dealt with again.

And this crime is not a crime to be added, after all, everyone knows that Lou Yueqing's life and death are unknown after the accident at the Cliff of No Return, Xiao Zhenglin sent someone to look for it for nearly a year but did not find it, and then the Tang family sent the impostor back, just by virtue of this, it is impossible for the Tang family to stay out of the matter.
