Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dream Returns and Never Returns

In the evening, he looked at the wild geese covered in the glow from afar by the railing, staring straight at them flying to the sky, Zhao Lingsui saw this and knew that he had a problem and couldn't figure it out, but he still couldn't help but interrupt him: "Brother Huang, King Cai brought it."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ji couldn't care about anything, a thousand words turned into a trace of silence in the slam of his head, and the moment he looked at his eyes, it seemed that the air froze, and when he was still thinking about what to say, Zhao seemed to be busy bowing and saluting: "Your Majesty!" "Xiao Ru, I don't blame you," the emperor saluted in reverse: "Maybe I really wronged you, can you forgive me?" Zhao Ji's reaction made Zhao Lingsui startled: "Imperial Brother!" "Imperial Brother!" Zhao seemed to kneel down and salute: "Your Majesty's gift is serious, and the courtier can't afford it." The emperor hurriedly helped Zhao Ru up, his face full of guilt: "I hope that you can forget the events of these days as soon as possible, and everything is still the same as before." ā€

"Once upon a time?" the light in Zhao Yi's eyes gradually dimmed: "Once upon a time, Your Majesty was not an emperor. "Xiao Ru, is this important?" Zhao Ji turned his back and sighed lightly: "The brotherhood between you and me is no match for the barrier of identity?" you can ...... like Da Nian" Zhao Lingsui was moved when he listened: "Brother Huang!" Zhao Yi shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid I can't go back." "Why? What are you still thinking about??" Zhao Ji unconsciously grasped the railing with his hands on the railing: "Because I robbed you of what should have belonged to you?" "Brotherhood can't match the ruthless throne in the end......" "Don't dare," Zhao seemed to salute again: "Forgive the courtier's brother and ask rhetorically, which is more important, Your Majesty's seat or the courtier?"

Zhao Ji was surprised that Zhao seemed to ask such a question, but he still replied without thinking: "I have never had the intention of seizing the throne, as we all know back then, because I was appointed to the Queen Mother, the voice of opposition from the court and China could not reach the Queen Mother's words, so I never retaliated against Zhang Xianggong who opposed my succession. Zhao seemed to look at Zhao Ji, and his face fell disappointed: "But Your Majesty is a little wrong to ask, maybe Your Majesty has thought about the throne thousands of times really doesn't matter, but when the courtier wants a sincere answer, Your Majesty can't say it, for various reasons, Your Majesty actually values the throne very much, and it is more important than you imagined." ā€

"Zhao Xiang!" Zhao Lingsui really couldn't listen to it, and pointed at Zhao Qi: "The imperial brother is too kind-hearted, so he let you and Zhang Xianggong go, and only then treated your mother and concubine like a mother, if not, how can you live! Since ancient times, there have been many people who have usurped power and seized the throne without hesitating to kill thousands of people, who can rest assured that they can keep the prime minister who supports others to succeed to the throne by their side, who can treat their siblings as if they were their own mothers, who can continue to crown their brothers who are qualified to inherit the throne, and who can apologize to a suspect for an unresolved prison case.

"Danian ......" Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Lingsui with some emotion, looked at Zhao Ru again, and sighed lightly: "Danian, step aside." "But!" Zhao Lingsui was still unwilling to be for the imperial brother, but Zhao seemed to suddenly speak: "What kind of person Your Majesty wants to become is all Your Majesty's freedom, if Your Majesty becomes a cruel person, the younger brother has nothing to say." "You!" Zhao Lingsui was really angry, and said loudly: "You should go to the Queen Mother to settle the account, but it's a pity that her old man is already underground, and you are still lingering!" "Danian!" Zhao Ji gasped and tried to stay calm: "Be obedient, retreat." Zhao Lingsui was helpless, held his stomach and bowed back.

That year, Zhao Lingsui and Zhao seemed to be only twelve-year-old children, but Zhao Ji could clearly see that Zhao seemed to be no longer the child he had to take care of back then. And Zhao Lingsui has been generous and honest since he was a child, he is naturally cute and cute, he only likes to concentrate on painting, he has always ignored the world, and it has nothing to do with him who has the imperial power and who sits on the throne, he still just wants to stay by his emperor's brother and play happily together. Zhao Ji felt that Zhao seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and the New Year was getting closer and closer.

"Like, you've changed. Zhao Ji condescendingly looked outside the palace wall, when they were children, they jumped and swaggered out of the palace The scene resurfaced in front of his eyes, at that time they were active like a wild monkey, and they knew that they were wandering around all day long, and then looked at today, it was difficult not to sigh. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ru smiled and asked, "Didn't the imperial brother notice the slightest change in himself?" "I?" Zhao Ji came back to his senses, and the appearance of himself when he first succeeded to the throne two years ago flashed in front of him.

"In my opinion, you are as worthy of my respect as the Queen Mother, and I am saddened to lose my mother, and you feel very similar to my mother. ā€

"If the concubine has any difficulties in the future, just come to me, Xiao seems to be my good brother, I can let him come to see you every day......"

"Ah, chatting and forgetting that it's getting late, it's cold outside, the concubine should rest early, I often come to see you when I have time." ā€

……

"King Duan and the emperor are no longer like a person, King Duan is the real benevolent house. Zhao Ji's smile was full of loneliness, Zhao Ji's hand holding the railing was clenched into a fist, he stared at the hands and pondered for a long time, his voice was a little heavy: "I have suddenly realized, I also miss the old days, I just want to be reconciled with Qing as before, we are still good brothers who treat each other sincerely and talk about everything." Zhao Yi's eyes secretly deepened again: "It is impossible for the younger brother to call the imperial brother Xiaoduan anymore," without waiting for Zhao Ji to speak, he hurriedly said: "But the younger brother doesn't want to embarrass the imperial brother, the imperial brother is the king of a country, the younger brother can understand, the younger brother has seen His Majesty's heart, how dare he not appreciate it?"

"Xiao Yi!" Zhao Ji secretly gritted his teeth, and saluted again: "I am not the emperor in front of you!" Zhao Ji's reaction was too unexpected, Zhao seemed to kneel down in panic: "Your Majesty! Brother Chen thought that His Majesty just wanted to stabilize his brother, but he didn't expect His Majesty to be so affectionate! All the unpleasant things have been relieved, and Brother Chen is willing to give his sincerity to His Majesty!" Zhao Ji was very excited when he heard this, and hurriedly picked up Zhao Qi and pulled him into the hall.

In Zhao Ji's memory, the dusk of that day was quiet and peaceful, and the wind was extremely warm, blowing his old dreams from time to time. He seemed to be still holding the little hand that held him tightly, and there was no embarrassing silence in the simple brotherhood, jealous salutes, power calculations, and silent depression...... It seems that the clouds are light and the wind is light, the sky is high and the heart is refreshing, the city is still there, and the old people are still there.

But that day, Zhao Ru never let go of the hidden hatred, he only saw that the sky was like blood and the sun, obliquely illuminating the unforgettable pain in his heart, even if it healed, it was destined to be scarred.

"Zhao Ji, you are not good to my mother, you will only show me, otherwise how could my mother die of illness in two years, and the Empress Dowager Xiang also died of illness, and the two healthy elders can't stand your care. ā€

"You can't give up the throne that doesn't belong to you, you put the charge of rebellion on my head, the courtiers continue to admonish, you are afraid of the public's tongue to compromise, and now you are making a show to Ah Sui, you have been a good brother, and I have been a wicked person. ā€

"Your apology will be passed on as a good story, just like when you were praised for your brotherhood, and my group power has collapsed, and it is you who have harmed you. ā€

"Zhao Ji, if you attack me again, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me, and get what you have and what you don't have. If I do get there, I can do whatever it takes!"

He hated Zhao Ji, who had his back to him, and his other hand was secretly clenched into a fist at some point, and at that moment, everything really couldn't go back.

After Zhao seemed to leave, Zhao Ji was stunned, an illusion was tormenting him, or maybe it was just an intuitive reminder that he couldn't save anything after all.

The twilight sank, leaving him alone to think about the past.

"What's wrong with being just a duan king, being comfortable and chic is better than carrying a burden that doesn't belong to you and not keeping the remnants of the past dreams. He patted the railing, gritting his teeth, his hands still shaking, he was drunk in the twilight, and suddenly sneered.

"Fate makes people, and in the end, you and I lose the most precious and don't get what we really want. A teardrop quietly slid down his lonely cheeks, "In the next life, it will no longer be the emperor's family!"
