Rui Di raised his head, his eyes clear.

He whispered to Ziyu: "These two edicts are handed over to you for safekeeping, and it is up to you to decide what to do with them!"

"For... Why...?" Ziyu asked in a trembling voice.

Rui Di fixed his eyes on the dragon and phoenix quilt on his body, and the dragon and phoenix were entangled, looking forward to life.

He smiled at the corner of his lips, as if he had entered a good memory.

The years are easy to pass away, and it is like a dream. The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the fire was crackling inside.

Emperor Rui sighed lightly, and said to Ziyu like an ordinary person chatting around the fireplace: "Everyone in the world thinks that being in the emperor's house and enjoying glory and wealth is really a blessing from the third generation. They don't know that for us, often the word 'love' is not available. Because of power disputes, family affection is weak, and no one can be trusted. People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and the monarch can't guess the minds of others, so he can only imagine the worst. I have only been a king for three years, and many people have already discouraged me. I thought I would never be able to get someone who was true to me in my life, but... But in the end, she was found. ”

Ziyu was stunned and asked softly, "Is Father talking about Empress Yan?"

Rui Di bowed his head: "Everyone thinks that I like her beauty, even the queen herself is afraid that she thinks so." Therefore, she treats all the concubines with good looks with her heart. The early death of your mother, I think there may be some reasons for her. ”

Ziyu thought of her mother, and she couldn't bear the joy, and sorrow came from it.

He clenched his fists and asked hatefully: "You know this, but you give her more rights and status." Finally... What the hell is it for...?"

"For the sake of sincerity. Rui Di smiled quietly, "You should know that sincerity is rare, how can I bear her, and how can I be willing to bear her?"

"Where does it come from sincerity? how does the emperor know what sincerity is..."Ziyu bit her lip and bled out.

Ruidi shook his head, but still smiled and said, "A long time ago, when I didn't have a child. One year, I was very sick, and after countless doctors diagnosed and treated, they couldn't find the crux of the problem, and there was no way. In the end, he invited the barbarian wizard to come, hoping to continue his life with witchcraft. The sorcerer told me that if I wanted to cure this disease, I needed a 'heart' that a living person would treat me. Although I lamented that this was impossible, I gathered all my concubines and asked them if they could give me their sincerity and continue my life. I will never forget the day when the apricot blossoms outside the window were very lively, but the hall was silent. Even if they really take that step for the sake of glory and wealth, how can they guarantee that their heart is the so-called 'sincerity'?"

"Ahem!" said Rui Di coughed twice, and blood coughed on the brocade quilt, staining the golden dragon's eyes red. But he didn't care, and continued, "Just as I... Just when I was disheartened, Concubine Yan suddenly took the flower scissors on the table and put them against her chest and said, "Do you want it now? If you want it now, I will dedicate my heart to Your Majesty now." ’”

Speaking of this, Rui Di even smiled at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "It's strange to say, I was sick and weak at the time, but I suddenly stood up and hugged her." Her body was warm, and her heart beat against my chest, just like my own heart, as if my previous life was a mess, and it was only then that I was truly alive. So from then on, I thought, this woman, she is willing to give me her heart, I will give her all she wants. I thought so, and I did the same, giving her rights and pampering her. And your mother, the mother of Sorrow, so many of my concubines also understood on that day that they could not compete with Concubine Yan for favor no matter what, because she was the only one who was willing to treat me with sincerity, and this sincerity was enough to make them speechless. ”

Ziyu lowered his eyes slightly, he really understood the rarity of this 'sincerity'. Although he still hated Concubine Yan at that time, he was always innocent of infatuation, and the resentment in his heart was a little less vain.

Rui Di sighed: "I myself would naturally rather die than use Concubine Yan's sincerity, I wanted to do a hundred, but the sky actually fulfilled people's wishes, I don't know if I was in a good mood, and the disease gradually improved." Then you know what happens next. I gave her the honor of being the queen and the position of the crown prince of Quan'er, and all of this was out of that heart. ”

"However, after so many years, has that true heart changed, and how do you know, father?" Ziyu said coldly.

Rui Di smiled again: "Time urges people to grow old and urges incidents." From the beginning, I didn't want that to last forever, and I didn't expect her sincerity to remain the same. All that I gave her was based on her sincerity that day. Even if my life is at the end now, I will feel that I have no regrets in this life because of that trace of warmth in my life. ”

Ziyu was silent, in the face of such a sincere heart, no matter how perfect her plan was, she would not be able to overcome her father's favoritism.

He looked at the edict in his hand, and immediately asked, "Since my father already wants to give her all of it, why did he give this edict to me for disposal?" You should understand that the best thing for me is to destroy the first one and take only the second one. ”

Rui Di calmly said to Ziyu: "Although my body is not good, my mind has been very clear recently. I thought about a lot of things and realized that my past actions were selfish and made you feel wronged. Now that I have handed over these two edicts to you, I also trust in your judgment and disposition. If you choose the second edict, I only hope that you will be kind to the queen and your brother after you become the monarch, and not hurt their lives. ”

"What if I say I can't do it?" Ziyu replied coldly.

"No, you will! you will pity me for the vain desire to repay my heart. Because you know better than anyone else that if you are an emperor, you will have to be cold-hearted, and you will never be able to see your true heart again. Rhett spoke seriously and calmly, as if he had seen the final end.

After a long time, Ziyu's rather cold eyes slowly softened.

He came closer, helped him to lie down and tucked the corners of the quilt for him.

Then, he knelt down straight, and his voice was clear and light: "The child has dreamed back recently at midnight, and he will always remember that when you were a child, you sat in the long pavilion with your mother, and she played the piano and sang, but you teased me with a rattle. I was only a year old at the time, and I remembered everything I shouldn't have remembered, so clearly..."

After the words fell, Ziyu stood up, took the medicine box and walked out.

He gently closed the door, blocking the wind and cold outside the house, but also leaving a room of loneliness.

Rhetti pursed his lips and smiled, looking back at the golden red beam.

Not only the purple jade, but even he himself remembers those scenery clearly.

Slowly, he closed his eyes, breathing calmly, as if entering a dream, but a tear quietly slipped from the corner of his eye.

In the twenty-seventh year of Weirui, December 21, the first snow, Rui Di died.

Ziyu published the edict, and Emperor Rui wrote it himself, abolishing the crown prince and enlisting the prince to inherit the national system.

The crown prince was not convinced, and led 800 soldiers with General Meng to surround the entire palace.

Ziyu took advantage of the chaos to hide, and Lu Quan's search was unsuccessful. He gathered all his concubines and relatives in front of the council hall, and wanted to capture Ziyu for the crime of tampering with the edict.

The incident happened suddenly, General Hua's assistance could not arrive immediately, and thousands of courtiers were also blocked out of the palace, and Ziyu was isolated for a while.

Li Wei and Concubine Hua were squeezed in the crowd, Concubine Hua took her hand, she wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't stop trembling.

Li Wu lowered his eyes, he was not afraid, but he was sad to think that after planning for so long, his brother still failed.

The soldiers searched the entire palace but could not find Ziyu's whereabouts, and Lu was so angry that he began to ask these relatives.

On the eaves of the house in front of the council stood many archers of the first rank, and they drew their strings to the crowd, and not one dared to flee.

Lu Quan shouted at the crowd: "If any of you dare to hide that traitorous thief, I will deal with him as well! On the contrary, if anyone knows his whereabouts, not only will I not charge him with harboring him, but I will also give him a heavy reward!"

There was a long silence, all the people hung their heads, and no one dared to speak.

Behind Lu Quan stood Empress Yan, and beside him was General Meng, who was wearing a military uniform.

He winked and whispered a few words to General Meng.

General Meng understood, he approached the crowd, stretched out his hand to pull the arm of Li Wu, and pulled it out.

Concubine Hua was frightened, she pulled away from her worries and started a dispute.

Helplessly, her strength obviously couldn't withstand the male soldiers, so she could only watch as Liwu was pulled into the field, and even the shoes on her feet broke free.

Concubine Hua sat in the snow dejectedly, feeling hopeless about life for the first time.

The commotion in the crowd immediately held its breath, and everyone did not dare to speak again. Everyone understands that Lu Quan is trying to 'set an example for chickens and monkeys'.

Ziyu raised the fox fur hood slightly slightly, with a heavy worry in her eyes.

It turned out that he did not go far, but changed his appearance and hid in the crowd. He understands that in times of crisis, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Seeing that Liwu was taken away, Ziyu was almost ready to rush forward.

It's just that General Hua should be already thinking of a way to break through, and he can't make a mistake at this moment!

It's cold and freezing, and I'm dressed in white. She stood in the middle of the field and sighed softly into her slightly stiff palm.

Her eyes were faint, as if she was enjoying the snow in the garden.

Lu Quan couldn't get used to seeing her like this, so he raised his palm and slapped it.

Five fingerprints immediately appeared on Liwu's face.

She looked at Lu Quan coldly, but she didn't say a word.

"You must know that right! Tell me, where is Ziyu!" Lu Quan said viciously.

Li Wu pursed his lips tightly, as if he had not heard of it.

"Now that the situation is in my hands, what else do you want to protect him? You know, he is charged with treason! If you insist on not saying anything, I can only correct you on the spot first!"

Li glanced at him coldly and said, "Who is this rebellion? Who is this rebellion? Who is the straw bag and who has the courage to govern the country, don't you understand it in your own heart?"

"You... You !!" Lu Quan slapped him again, and his whole face turned red with anger.

"Sorrow!!" Concubine Hua cried out in the crowd, "Prince, queen, please let Sorrow go!

Lu was unmoved, he grabbed the placket of his worries, and said hatefully: "If you obey me, I still have some family affection." In this situation, if you insist on going against the trend, don't blame me for killing my relatives with righteousness!!"

Li Wei squinted his eyes, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Don't say that my brother still has his father's edict in his hand, even if he doesn't, even if he really wants to oppose you, I will follow him!!"

Lu Quan froze, trembling and letting go of his hand, pointing at her and saying, "You... You're crazy..."

There was no sadness or fear on his face, but he looked at him coldly, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, which was terrifying.
