After the death of Emperor Rui, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, known as 'Emperor Feng', and changed the name of the country to 'Chao'.

A little Wenchen objected, only saying that the name of the 'Chaoyang Princess' was the same as the national name, and the title of the princess should be set or changed to avoid collision.

Ziyu didn't move when she heard this, and only said in private that the word 'chao' was originally taken from the princess, but it was not that the princess respected the country, but that the country was proud of the princess.

The ministers were stunned, and they all said in their hearts that the new emperor had a lot of love for the princess, but they were afraid of Emperor Feng's courage, and the matter was so finalized that no one discussed it anymore.

Although the name of this country is set casually, Emperor Feng is resolute in his actions.

He had already figured out who the prince's remnants were, and captured them all.

It's just that he didn't kill as many as the previous monarchs, but gave him generous treatment and took the sages and capable people for his own use.

Yu Guoshi talked to Zi Yuqing once. The national teacher thought that Emperor Feng should not be so merciful, and should strangle the rest of the party and their families to avoid future troubles.

Ziyu said lightly: "I don't treat them out of kindness, but for the sake of stability in the future." ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Guoshi frowned.

"National teacher, even the thinnest strangulation will slip through the net. At that time, not only will I lose my reputation as a tyrant, but I will also worry every day that the heirs of the remnants of the party will one day seek revenge. On the contrary, I left them in their place, and even if they wanted to turn against me one day, their every move would be under my nose, and it was better to guard against the light than the dark. Moreover, they and the former prince are also simply involved in interests, I keep their salaries and treatment unchanged, there is no change for them, and I have avoided the infamy of 'anti-thief', and if you are a national teacher, will you still do it against the wind?"

Yu Guoshi was silent, Emperor Feng's reason was unheard of by him, but it was all reasonable.

After a long time, he smiled: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and most of these remaining parties are brave and strategic, they are the pillars of the country, and it is a blessing for the country to have a good monarch!"

Ziyu smiled faintly, still warm as jade, making people feel calm.

At night, Li Wei and Concubine Hua went to the 'Zhaoyue Palace' for dinner. After Ziyu succeeded to the throne, this was his sleeping place.

The depths of winter have passed, but the weather is still cold. Ziyu ordered people to prepare a few more stoves in the temple, and extinguished the incense. He always remembered that he was afraid of the cold and did not like the smell of spices.

After the meal, Li Wei sat aside with a medical book and flipped through it, taking a grape and throwing it into his mouth from time to time.

Ziyu put on her regular clothes, sat on the side and didn't say anything, just took a pen and ink, and circled it on tomorrow morning's deliberations.

The behavior of the two people was the same as before, but Hua Mo was a little restrained.

Now is different from the past, Ziyu is the monarch of this future country after all, and she is no longer a child she grew up with, she thinks that every word and deed must be reasonable.

Holding the book in his hand, he was reluctant to put it down, so the grapes ate into his mouth without peeling them.

Ziyu finished what she was doing, looked at her with a smile, put down the pen in her hand and went to help her.

He did this kind of idle work very meticulously, and the expression on his face became more and more relaxed, as if he was doing what he loved to do.

After eating, Li Wei finally found that the grapes lacked the sourness of the skin.

She poked her head out from behind the book, looked at Ziyu and smiled, and after getting her brother's response, she began to concentrate on the medical book in her hand again.

A maidservant girl was terrified and wanted to come to help, but Ziyu immediately shook her head.

Hua Mo pushed down her worries slightly, and made a look, intending to tell her not to let Emperor Feng bother with these trivial things.

I don't know what to worry about, she has been taken care of by Ziyu since she was a child, and she really doesn't understand what her mother wants to express.

Ziyu understood first, and he said lightly: "The name of Emperor Feng is only external. I don't want you to have any constraints. Everything I did was done out of my own wishes, and I have reached the position where I am now, and no one can force me to do anything. ”

Hua Mo immediately withdrew his hand and stopped stopping him.

After all, it's not a bad thing that Fontican treats them so kindly.

After yawning, Hua Mo whispered: "It's not too early, let's go back early! Don't disturb Emperor Feng's rest." ”

Li frowned and looked at the swaying dead branches outside the window, and muttered softly: "That new house has everything, it's just very cold, I should be so cold that I can't sleep when I go back now." ”

Ziyu listened carefully, and he said softly, "Then you can stay in the side hall here today to rest! When I'm free tomorrow, I'll help you choose a better dormitory. ”

Liwu's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to look at his mother's face.

Hua Mo was very embarrassed and wanted to refuse.

Ziyu took in their demeanor, and without waiting for Hua Mo to refute, she said: "That's it, I'll take you to the side hall!"

His tone was firm, but he had a full monarchical demeanor, and Hua Mo was not disobedient, so he had to accept it.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind blew the window lattice.

Sorrow was asleep beside Hua Mao, but she couldn't sleep.

Even if she is ruthless, Rui Di is also her only husband, and in the midnight dream, recalling the past with him, Hua Mo feels lonely and uncomfortable.

Once this thought came to mind, she couldn't stop, so she simply put on her clothes and walked to the outer room.

There was no palm lamp, and the moonlight outside the window could be faintly seen, and the wind seemed to have suddenly stopped.

Hua Mo felt bored, so she wanted to go to the courtyard for a walk.

The palace people waiting at the door immediately saluted.

Hua Mo raised his hand and made a silent gesture, and said softly: "I'll just walk around, you don't have to follow." The princess fell asleep, closed the doors and windows, and carefully let her catch a cold. ”

The palace people bowed their heads and stood quietly at the door according to their words.

Hua Mo walked in the moonlight, until she felt a little soreness in her calves, and then she realized that she had walked into the garden.

She sat down under a tree to rest, the garden was very close, but through the fence she could faintly hear the whispers of someone nearby.

She was shocked, she wanted to leave but couldn't take a step.

She tried to steady her mind, trying to hear the conversation clearly, because the two voices were very familiar, one was Emperor Feng and the other was Mo Yi.

Mo Yi asked, "How do you know that I'm here and here?"

Ziyu replied, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, I thought that you should come to see me once." This place is close to my temple, and the sound of your flute disturbs my mood quite a bit, didn't you specifically call me here?"

Mo Yi bowed: "Although it was deliberate, I didn't think you would go to the appointment." I think you should know in your heart what I'm going to talk to you about. ”

Ziyu pursed her lips and was silent, her eyes covered with dark clouds.

After a long time, Mo Yi sighed and said, "You are her brother." ”

"So what?" Ziyu's tone contained some playful emotion.

Mo Yi said calmly: "It's really nothing. Just keep the distance you deserve, it's always better for her. ”

"This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you! Now that I am a monarch, I have the strength to protect her. I don't care what kind of bond you have with your previous life, but those so-called cares are enough. If you're really good for her, leave her quickly!" Ziyu was slightly angry.

Hua Mo sighed in her heart, in her previous life, worrying, taking care of... What are those?

For a long time, Mo Yi didn't speak.

He looked up at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, even though he had spiritual power to protect his body, he still felt a little cold.

"Good. Mo Yi finally spoke, but there was a hint of imperceptible depression and hoarseness.

"Forgive me for not sending !!," Ziyu said in a deep voice, then turned to leave.

The footsteps were getting farther away, but Hua Mo was still trembling slightly.

After a long time, the moon-white robe stopped in front of her, and his low voice rang in his ears: "You heard it all..."

Hua Mo raised her head, and she cried at some point.

She asked Mo Yi hatefully: "You knew I was here early in the morning, did you deliberately let me listen?"

"I've wanted to be honest with you for a long time, but I'm sorry for you. ”

Hua Mo closed his eyes with tears in his eyes, never expecting him to admit it so cruelly.

She had heard folk legends and knew that immortals could be reincarnated.

"Mo Yi, tell me! What am I? Am you the pawn to protect your worries?"

"Yes. He still admitted.

Hua Mo bit her lower lip heavily, as if she didn't want to believe it: "Why did you choose me? The most favored is obviously Concubine Yan..."

"Because the tree is so windy, I originally wanted her to be more stable. ”

Hua Mo finally despaired, she chuckled lowly twice, and her voice was strange: "Mo Yi, if you didn't choose me at the beginning? Am I as miserable as Concubine Yan now?"

Mo Yi didn't explain, but his expression was bitter.

Hua Mo smiled again: "How ridiculous is my life? When someone pities me, in the end they still take advantage of it! All the friendship is wrong, I think I should go and accompany the first emperor!"

After speaking, she stood up tremblingly and walked forward in a trance.

Life is really like a play, and the gains and losses are usually not broken until the last moment.

One moment I thought the spring breeze was proud, but the next second I was defeated.

On the second day, I woke up from my worries, and I couldn't find Hua Mo on the bed.

She went out of the door and saw a circle of palace people at the entrance of Ziyu's dormitory.

Li Wei pushed aside the crowd and squeezed in, only to see Hua Mo kneeling there, refusing to get up.

left the worry and helped her, but Hua Mo didn't say a word, and refused to even look at her.

Ziyu walked out, and Li Wei immediately stepped forward to ask, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Ziyu said softly: "She knelt here before dawn, begging for something. ”

"What do you ask for, why don't you want my mother?"

"What your mother asks is to live forever in front of your father's mausoleum, pray for him, and never return. ”

She shook her head at the sorrowful words, she understood her mother's feelings for her father, and knew that this was far from that step.

She knelt beside Hua Mao, shook her arm and pleaded: "Mother, you speak! Is there anyone threatening you? Don't be afraid, tell Worry !!."

After a while, Hua Mo slowly turned her head to look at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "No one is persecuting me, I'm just tired and want to be alone to be quiet." ”

Hua Mao's eyes were scarlet, and there was no sparkle in his eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

After a pause in his heart, he immediately whispered: "Then the mother will go there first, and when you have rested enough, Worry will come to pick you up." ”

Hua Mo smiled wryly, and said in a strange voice: "Thank you Princess Chaoyang for your success, but Hua Mo has no effect, and I hope for my future life, don't see each other again..."

As soon as the words fell, she stood up and shook a few times, but she tried her best to block the hand that was about to help her.

When she raised her eyes, she happened to see the new shoots on the dead trees in the garden, and she calculated that early spring was coming, but her heart would be immersed in bitter water forever, and she would never wake up again...
