Soon after the people in the palace left, Guizhen Residence welcomed two more visitors that Liang Cheng couldn't avoid.

Li Duqiu, the general of the protector of the country, was eight feet long, his face was cold, and his majesty was hidden, and at this moment, a pair of cold star-like eyes were firmly locked on Liang Cheng's body.

And the Nine Emperor Prince Liang Ji staggered one shoulder and sat beside Li Duqiu, squeezing his eyebrows at Liang Cheng, "Uncle took the first step and hurried back to the Eastern Capital, before he changed his clothes, he came to see you when he returned to his father after entering the palace, fortunately, I waited in advance, pestering my uncle to bring me over, brother, you are a monk, I can't see you every day." ”

Liang Cheng lowered his eyes, the previous Emperor Ming Yuan moved too fast, maybe there was Empress Li's concealment, and his uncle was far away at the border, or he didn't want to believe that his father would really want his life, until in the end, he was completely isolated and helpless.

At that time, just three days before he died, several Conglong guards suddenly poured in, and without waiting for the two to react, they smashed An Xiping's knees on the spot, removed his chin, and carried him to the courtyard, while he was firmly held down, watching An Xiping being killed by a live cane.

Since his rebirth, he has often dreamed of An Xiping's appearance before he died, his face was pale, he was covered with cold sweat, but his eyes were looking at him with a smile, and his pale lips were lifted from his chin, and he opened his mouth to him with difficulty.

"Your Highness, don't cry......"

He really hated at that moment, hated that he was negligent in practicing on weekdays, so he couldn't move under the suppression of the two Cong Long Wei.

Afterwards, the envoy from Long Wei dropped a sentence "An Xiping colluded with outsiders, and the saint ordered the cane to be killed", and looked at him condescendingly, and said: "Your Highness is still staying in the palace in peace and security, and if you make people secretly spread the news again, it will no longer be the people around Your Highness who will suffer." ”

Liang Cheng did not let An Xiping pass the news outside the palace, and when he heard that his father only cut off his ears and eyes as a punishment, his heart was even more sad, and he only felt that he had nothing to love.

It's just that I dreamed a lot about that scene, and I thought about it carefully, and I actually remembered An Xiping's last mouth shape, which seemed to be "be careful of the Nine Emperor Princes", and then thought of Meng Liujun who had said before his death that the Nine Emperor Princes were not pure-hearted, and at this time, seeing his younger brother, who he had always loved, showing such a playful and innocent appearance, his heart was a little uncertain.

Why did An Xiping ask him to be careful of the Nine Emperor Princes, and from the commander of Long Wei to say that An Xiping was passing the news to the outside world, then to whom did he pass it on? What kind of secret is hidden in An Xiping's death?

But now there is no way to verify......

Liang Ji has been sticking to him since he was a child, especially remembering that he was punished by his father when he missed the target due to lack of arm strength, and Liang Ji, who was still shaky when he walked, held his fingers that were bleeding from the bowstring, exhaling and blowing, and wrinkled his face with tears, as if it hurt more than him, this brotherhood was not alienated by the dislike of the queen mother, even if as he grew older, Liang Ji gradually calmed down in front of people, and there was no gap between the two.

He didn't want to believe that Liang Ji would frame him, after all, the friendship in his brother's eyes didn't seem to be fake, and besides, the other party was an immature son, how could he be hypocritical, but he could not show any flaws?

But Liang Cheng couldn't turn a blind eye to An Xiping's cause of death, he was unstable for a while, so he had to avoid Liang Ji's aggrieved gaze, and said: "You are also going to grow up, you can't jump out like before, and the queen mother will rely on you in the future." ”

"Brother, don't grow up, brother, you are still vulgar, anyway, this snow is falling." Liang Ji climbed up to Liang Cheng from the futon and grabbed the corner of his sleeve.

"The holy decree has been given, so don't say such childish words again in the future." Liang Cheng's arm moved slightly, but he was not sure enough, nor was he ruthless enough, so he didn't avoid it.

Liang Ji pursed his lips and wanted to say something, at this time Li Duqiu, who had not spoken, snorted coldly, Liang Ji was suddenly silent, let go of his brother's sleeves, clasped his hands on his knees, and sat beside Liang Cheng with his eyes and nose.

At this time, An Xiping came in to serve tea for the three of them, Liang Cheng took it, and poured a cup for Li Duqiu, "This is the unique plum queen snow bud in the temple, which is the tea before the rain every spring, only the most tender sharp buds of each tea tree are picked, and it is also the time when the plum blossoms are gone, uncle...... Please also ask the donor to taste one or two. ”

Li Duqiu is a person who fought out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, one look can stop the child from crying at night, seeing that Liang Cheng didn't even shout "uncle", he looked like he had escaped from the red dust and cut off the karma, and he couldn't help but burst out of two sparks in his eyes, "A layman, such a good tea has reached the mouth of a contemptible person, and it is not as good as a cow chewing peonies." ”

Liang Cheng's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, but he still sent the teacup to Li Duqiu, and said with a smile: "It's the poor monk's appearance, tea is tea, whether it's good or bad, the so-called appearance, but the world's good reputation is just a reputation." ”

"So if you don't say it right, it's not right, but it's also because you have realized all your fame and power, and you can break through all sentient beings?"

Liang Cheng knew very well that his uncle looked like a cold-faced Hades, but in fact, he was the most righteous and chivalrous, and he was brave, how could he sit idly by and ignore him when he saw that he was a monk?

It's just that today, since he has become a monk, with his past identity, he naturally has to be far away from the temple, and he must no longer have anything to do with the imperial court, especially since the Buddha's dream, Emperor Ming Yuan named him the protector of the country, which is already too sharp.

Liang Cheng's heart was astringent, he was going to make his uncle sad and disappointed, he turned to Liang Ji and said: "You go to the courtyard to play, your uncle and I have something to say, Xiping, you take the Nine Emperor Princes to the courtyard to appreciate the white plum." ”

Although Liang Ji was a little pampered in front of his brother, he was still sensible in the end, so he obediently followed An Xiping out.

Until the two of them drifted apart, Liang Cheng got straight to the point and said: "Uncle, I can't be this prince......"

"Why can't you do it," Li Duqiu's tone was cold, looking at Liang Cheng's eyes, but they were full of concern, "You are the concubine of the middle palace, and there is the Li family behind you, you have been smart since you were a child, and you have both talent and morality, how can this prince not do it?" ”

As if thinking of something, Li Duqiu's eyes sank, and he said, "Did your queen mother say something to you?" ”

This time it was Liang Cheng's turn to be puzzled, "The queen mother has no ...... for me"

"I already know about your body." Li Duqiu interrupted Liang Cheng, "The queen has been alienating you, she is too confused, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

After the shock, Liang Cheng only felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by a cotton ball, and a wave of surging sourness surged in his heart, it turned out that there was really someone, after knowing his secret, he still treated him as usual, and he could know his uncle's intentions, and it was not in vain to be reborn.

Liang Cheng lowered his head, his long eyelashes avoided the water in his eyes, and his fingers clenched tightly in his sleeves, for fear that he would lose his temper, "Uncle...... I don't complain about the queen mother, the palace is intrigued, the queen mother is not easy, my body, and in the position of the target, can be given at any time to give people a handle, then not only the queen mother, even the Li family, will also be implicated, if I want to give up the palace safely, and can not implicate others, except for the monk, there is no other way. ”

"Besides, I don't like court fighting, and it's a blessing for me to leave strife."
