Li Yuanying's figure continued to fly in Tai'an City, from the palace to the Wu Mansion not far away, she walked straight in a straight line, like a ghost floating between the rubble of the house, between the sky and the earth was gray, covering Li Yuanying's figure in a fog.

The letter sent by Yuqing was very simple, only six words: Lord Zhongtang, critically ill!

The sun has been extinguished for more than half a month, from the moment in front of the Taihe Palace, to Li Yuanying appeared in front of the Suzaku Gate with wind and rain, from the life-and-death struggle inside and outside the hundred zhang, to the cutting off of a head of Xiu Tukui, and then to this moment, the temperature wrapped in the earth was finally released, and the cold became the only tone in the world, and the blood that flowed from under Wang Siying's iron sword was solidified on the ground and formed into ice slag, as if it would never disappear.

The footsteps of the Son of Heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty were hurried, stepping on the snow without a trace, and he had already come to the Wu Mansion in a short time, and his body had already entered the Wu Mansion with a sweep.

In the hall, a faint candle light spread all over the hall, Yuqing's thin figure shuttled through it, and there was a faint sweat on his brows. Her belly was already big, ready to come out, pointy, people said, it must be a boy, it can't be wrong.

Li Yuanying unconsciously stopped, looked up at the pear tree in the yard, and vaguely saw the prototype of the fruit, but it was beaten by the severe cold, the frost fell, and it was frozen on the tip of the tree.

Behind the main mansion, there is a delicate house with three entrances and three exits, which Wu Qingyuan secretly dug by stealing beams and changing pillars, one end in the dry well of Wu Mansion, and the other end leading to the bed under the Qianqing Palace.

It's just that now the two ends of the tunnel are no longer human, and there is no previous appearance, Wu Qingyuan had climbed once the night before he killed the Lantai Domain, and Li Yuanying had also climbed on the snowy night when he went north to the Huns, black, winding, as if leading to nothingness.

Raising her head slightly, Yuqing saw Li Yuanying, at that moment she did not bow her head and salute, but straightened her body slightly, and said lightly: "Your Majesty." ”

Li Yuanying nodded: "I'm going to see Lord Zhongtang." After speaking, a strong wind blew in the hall, and Li Yuanying was gone.

Yuqing looked at the place where Li Yuanying had been standing, sighed quietly, sat down slowly, reached out and touched her stomach, her eyes and eyebrows were full of exhaustion.

Standing in front of the door, Li Yuanying raised a hand and put it down, for the elders, after the death of the Empress Dowager and Suo Bilong, only Lord Zhongtang was left to blame the Son of Heaven of the Northern Wei Dynasty without any scruples, Li Xiuce fell to the Vermilion Bird Gate, Li Yuanying killed many people, and did not regret it at all, but he did not dare to come to see Wu Changhe.

"Your Majesty, is that you?" Wu Changhyuk's voice came from the room,

Li Yuanying lowered her head and rubbed her face, and shook her lips: "Yes." ”

Pushing the door in, she stood in the corner of the room, a little overwhelmed.

The room was spotless, a small stove was lit, red briquettes baked the whole room warmly, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance to suppress the bitter smell of the decoction.

"Your Majesty, has the old minister's pear tree frozen to death?" Wu Changhe, who was lying on the bed, looked at Li Yuanying, who was a little restrained, and asked with a smile.

There was no questioning, no questioning, no other questioning, only an irrelevant sentence, Li Yuanying was stunned, and replied: "I didn't freeze to death, when the sun comes out, everything will be fine." ”

Wu Changhe talked and smiled, supporting his body and wanting to sit up, but he didn't have the strength, Li Yuanying hurriedly helped him up, and carefully put the cotton pillow behind Wu Changhe: "When you're older, don't be reckless." ”

Li Yuanying, who has not spoken calmly for a long time, has a little more gentleness and patience, and there is a little more tiredness on her face.

"It's really old, not as good as in previous years. Wu Changhe took a breath, stretched out his hand and patted his side: "Come, Your Majesty is sitting here, Yuqing's girl is careful, will take care of people, and the bed is warm." ”

Li Yuanying sat down next to Wu Changhe and tucked the corners of the quilt: "Lord Zhongtang doesn't blame me?"

"Resentment, of course resentment, in fact, I hate you in my heart for not fighting, acting recklessly, and I want to fight twice, but I don't have the strength, so it's better not to fight. Your temper has been bad since you were a child, you have a stubborn temperament, and you don't easily think that you are wrong, and you are annoyed, and I can't beat this old bone. Wu Changhe said with a smile, reaching out and holding Li Yuanying's hands: "Sure enough, this is still a pair of women's small hands, and no matter how you hide it, you can't change it." ”

Li Yuanying's eyes were red, these hands killed many people.

"It's impossible to tell right from wrong to kill this kind of thing, of course it's better not to kill or not to kill, you, it's too similar to the ancestors, once crazy, no one can pull it, I saw it back then, I can't persuade it, and now you are the same, I can't persuade it." Wu Changhe shook his head and laughed at himself: "Your Majesty, you have returned to the sky, you should know the big secret of heaven and earth, I am also very curious about this secret, but I don't want to know, if I know, it will inevitably be a big annoyance, it is better not to know." ”

"The adults in the middle hall are big-minded and open-minded. But to tell you, you probably don't understand it, you can't understand it. ”

"I like the big-minded and open-minded sentence, but I don't like to hear the latter sentence. Wu Changhe took a breath and said: "Many people think that what is in heaven is real, and everything in the world is illusory, but I think that what is in heaven is false, and what is true in the world." ”

"But the truth of the world is not what I want. Li Yuanying lowered her head and said.

"Your Majesty, if you still can't let go of the little prince's departure, and the old minister goes down to take care of him, Your Majesty won't kill, okay?" Wu Changhe's face showed a different look.

"No, no, I don't want it!" Li Yuanying shook her head and held Wu Changhyuk's hand.

"People are inherently dead, Your Majesty, national affairs, border defense and social affairs, I have said it all my life, I am too lazy to say it at the moment, and I don't want to say it, the most regrettable thing in my life is that you and Qingyuan have never tied the knot, and they have been together for a hundred years, which is the fault of my ancestors and me. If there is a chance, His Majesty can give Qingyuan a chance, just stay by His Majesty's side, he doesn't care about anything else. Wu Changhe said, stood up with difficulty, touched Li Yuanying's head, and pinched her nose: "Girl, don't be resentful, there is still hope for life." ”

He looked out of the house, as if he was looking at the pear tree for the last time, and in an instant, the fallen leaves returned to their roots and the dust settled.

The most solid pillar of Dawei is gone!

Li Yuanying hurriedly got up, held Lao Zhongtang's back with one hand, slowly put him on the bed, gently covered the quilt, opened his mouth, and wanted to cry, but he still couldn't cry.

I don't know how long I sat down, Li Yuanying got up slowly, sniffed the smell in the room, opened the door shallowly, and came to the hall.

Yuqing sat in the hall for I don't know how long, she glanced at Li Yuanying, and before she got up, Li Yuanying sat down opposite the young grandmother of the Wu family.

The four looked at each other without saying a word, and both of them saw the calm in each other's eyes, and neither could understand the deep meaning hidden in the depths of each other's eyes.

The two have known each other since childhood, Li Yuanying disguised herself as a man to ascend the throne, and the ancestor brought Yuqing into the palace, no one knows the origin of this woman, there are different opinions, and so on, but the ancestor has a good love for her, otherwise she would not have been forced into the key of the inner library into Yuqing's hands when she was young, and people began to speculate that this is the queen that the ancestor gave to His Majesty the Emperor since childhood, and the mother of the Great Wei Kingdom in the future, especially when the ancestor admitted with a smile, Yuqing's identity was unconsciously detached in the palace.

Although Yuqing's ability to do business is not as strong as Shen Ning'er, the inner treasury has basically maintained a balance of payments, which is already a feat. Yuqing has known Li Yuanying's daughter since she was a child, and the two know the meaning of their ancestors, and maintain a tacit understanding and mutual respect to a certain extent.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Li Yuanying asked, a chill in her tone.

Yuqing smiled lightly: "Should I say anything?"

"Lord Zhongtang has a bad spleen and stomach, and likes to eat hot beef, and he regularly and quantitatively on weekdays, this is the rule set by grandma before her death, and you implemented it very well, but in those masked medicinal fragrances, I smelled aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, and Wu Zhuyu four flavor medicines, these medicines are all hot medicinal materials, you are delicate, take care of people, and will not make such low-level mistakes, say, did Lord Zhongtang's body collapse you?!" Li Yuanying's words were sonorous and powerful at the end, and the tables in the hall were torn apart.

"You found out? However, these things were instructed by the little prince Li Xiuce, and I just carried out them according to his instructions. Why, hearing that the little prince was also involved, you began to hesitate and start to wonder. Yes, I know everything the little prince has done, and in places you can't imagine, it is still the path I showed the little prince. Yuqing said lightly, got up slowly, and pulled out the basket under her clothes, revealing her flat lower abdomen.

Li Yuanying was slightly surprised: "You?!"

"What's wrong with me? Li Yuanying, are you surprised? Actually, you don't need to be surprised, there are many things you don't know. My body is damaged, my body functions are destroyed, and I can't conceive in my life, and it's all because of you!" Yuqing's tone became cold, full of hatred, and stared directly at Li Yuanying: "To what extent have you cultivated at this moment?"

Li Yuanying frowned, not knowing why she suddenly asked about cultivation at this moment.

Yuqing glanced at the Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor contemptuously: "Shuanglong luck, the peak of the Divine Heaven Realm, two silver wires, two flying swords, many life-threatening battles, mixed means, stealing other people's flowers, Li Yuanying, do you think you are already the strongest person in Great Wei, hum, to tell you the truth, I Yuqing is the strongest person!"

Li Yuanying looked introspectively, and did not find the slightest abnormal breath fluctuation on Yuqing's body, the breath of ordinary people flowed, and the snow mountain qi sea was shallow, she was not a cultivator.

"You and I are not in the same position, and I have reached the realm you reached ten years ago. Li Yuanying, the ancestor trained me to be your guard, the person who protects you, as early as when I entered the palace, in order to practice, I had destroyed the foundation in my body, became a rootless person, and could not conceive, at that time I was already dead, since I always wanted to marry you as a woman, it doesn't matter if I can conceive or not. But I never thought that the old ancestor would marry me to Qingyuan. Yuqing's eyes suddenly flashed a different kind of light: "Since then, I have begun to hate you, hate everything you took from me, I know that Qingyuan likes you, but I am not afraid, the days are very long, and the time is long I can use tenderness and time to influence my husband, until he sees that there has always been a person standing beside him, silently watching him, waiting for him, but the truth, no matter how hard I try, he only has you in his eyes, and only you in his heart, even the dream words spoken in his dreams at night are calling your name." ”

Li Yuanying's face was expressionless.

"Li Yuanying, why do so many people like you, why can you be favored by everyone, and I Yuqing can only be your shadow, your chess piece, paving the foundation for everything for you, why can't I have my own life, I don't accept it, I resent, I can't wait for you to die, so I want to destroy everything around you, I won't fight with you, kill you, I won't get anything, you will still be remembered, buried in your heart, and become immortal. ”

Immortal, the Poison Sword Immortal also wanted to be immortal, not immortal, life endless, but to stay in people's hearts and not be forgotten, Li Yuanying suddenly understood this truth and understood Murong Feng.

"I thought of a lot of ways and used a lot of means, but in Qingyuan's heart, your position is always unshakable, he won't even give me a little place, I have thought about it for many years, and I finally came up with a way to completely destroy you!" The light in Yuqing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally it was like a star that kept flashing: "I will use death to frame you, so, Li Yuanying, you can't escape, you can only die!"

Yuqing laughed arbitrarily, the poison she had taken began to attack, and blood continued to spill out from her mouth and nose, like a begonia flower blooming in the night: "There is already a letter sent to Qingyuan's hands, when he received the letter, grandpa and I have already died, and the letter said that you Li Yuanying is crazy and killed many people in Tai'an City, so Qingyuan will think that the death of grandpa and me is your !!"

"Li Yuanying, do you want me to apologize to you......? Why does Yuqing apologize to you?" A trace of sickly ruddy appeared on her pale face, a mocking smile was drawn at the corner of her mouth, tears were swaying, she looked at Li Yuanhao's increasingly hazy and blurred figure, she couldn't support it anymore, and her last stubbornness and persistence collapsed, and her body collapsed: "Qingyuan, finally, finally, finally...... I totally got you, I ...... Won...... So I ...... This life...... No regrets. ”

"You do have no regrets, but you are wrong, you can hurt me and resent me, but it should not be on the premise of hurting your husband. Li Yuanying's voice sounded and reached the ears of this stubborn woman.

"Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Am I wrong? I am wrong......" Yuqing's voice became lower and lower, holding the only gift Wu Qingyuan bought for her in one hand - a hairpin, with tears in her eyes, and muttering to herself until she couldn't hear it and fell to the ground.

The dark night slowly pressed down, under the starry sky, in the cold and biting wind, she died there.
