Qilan Palace, Qiyun asked Chunzhu to build a brazier, and instructed her to invite Yilong to come to Qilan Palace. Then she ordered the people to retreat cleanly.

"Yun'er, are you cold? How did you make a brazier? Yilong stepped in and asked in surprise.

Qiyun didn't answer his question, but saluted him and said, "Thank you, Brother Yilong, my body is getting better." Today, the palace master of the Asakage Palace, Mokawa, gave me this. With that, she took out her name fold and handed it to Yilong.

Yilong opened the name fold, browsed it, and looked happy: "It is this name fold." ”

He took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, looked up and said to Qiyun, "Yun'er, I have wronged you." You drink this. ”

Qiyun didn't ask much, took the medicine bottle, raised his head and drank it, and said lightly: "Yilong, you can use these people now, but be careful and vigilant in the future, people's hearts will change." ”

Qiyun stretched out his hand to him and motioned, "Not every one of these compromised people can be used by you, I will sift through the circle again." ”

Seeing that she was sincere, Yilong did not doubt him, and returned his name to Qiyun. Qiyun held the name fold in one hand, threw out a piece of cloth with the other hand, threw it at Yilong's feet, and pointed at him sadly: "Brother Yilong, there is another thing Qiyun wants to ask you, is the thing written on this cloth true?" ”

Seeing her abnormal expression, Yilong was puzzled and picked up the cloth on the ground. At first glance, the blood on his face faded, and he instantly turned pale, and asked in surprise: "Where did this come from?" ”

Seeing him step forward, Qiyun took a few steps back, shook his name, put it on top of the brazier, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yilong, I want to listen to the truth. ”

Yilong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, and nodded sadly: "The things that Kong Ningzi and Xing Antai confessed to above are all ...... It's true. ”

"......I see," Qiyun burst into tears in an instant, and asked sadly: "They are your own brothers, and you actually designed to murder them like this?" ”

Yilong sighed, his light eyes were like snow flying on a cold night, word by word, with a somewhat desolate smile: "Yun'er, since ancient times, the royal family has not had the affection of father and son, and the righteousness of brothers. Which dynasty and which generation will not succeed in one day?

I remember that when I was four years old, my father ordered Liu Cui to assist me in guarding Jingkou to defend against Lu Xunmin's rebellion. He had always hated me, and just pushed me into the fire pit. Let me go to Jingkou and use me as a shield, in order to calm the hearts of those fighting soldiers, but once the city is broken, I will be broken into thousands of pieces. Back then, I stood in the city tower and watched countless people fighting under the city tower, fighting and shaking the sky, and the blood flowed like a river. Human life is so cheap that it is like an ant. Since then, I have known that there is no one in this world to rely on, everything can only rely on myself!

Back at the Taiwei Mansion, I was even more forbearant and hibernated. Once, Yifu pressed my head into the lake and almost killed me, but none of the passers-by stopped me, and my father only scolded Yifu for two sentences. From that day on, I swore secretly that one day I would stand at the pinnacle of power and make the people of the world bow down to me.

Since I was sensible, I have suffered both physical torture and cold eyes from others. Only the eldest sister in the family is kind and takes care of me. Also, Qiyun, you are also cautious under the fence in Liu's Mansion, and you sympathize with me, and sometimes rely on each other. Looking at Yizhen and you are the best, I can only watch silently from the side.

No one knows the hardships and pains better than me. Liu Yifu was only born a year earlier than me, so he can be arrogant and do whatever he wants. Qiyun, you say, they were all born to the same father, why are the fates of me and theirs so different? ”

"What about righteousness? Yizhen is not bad for you, either. What are you doing to him? ”

Yilong didn't answer yes or no, the warmth in his eyes faded, cold as ice, and just spit out a sentence from his lips: "Being born in the emperor's family is both his luck and his misfortune." It was his fate. ”

When Qiyun heard this, it was like being trapped in an ice cave, cold from head to toe, and said sadly: "I understand. You used me as a pawn, plotted in every possible way, and now you have everything you want, the throne, status, power. I grew up in the Liu family, and I was sheltered and cared for by you. But from then on, you and I will be divided into east and west, north and south, and the ends of the earth, and we will forget each other. After that, he handed him the name fold in his hand and said resolutely: "Here you go!" ”

Yilong took the name fold, this is what he thought about for a long time, and he held it in his hand at the moment, but his heart was hollowed out. He felt a panache in his chest, coughed violently a few times, hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, eased up, and asked speculatively, "Yun'er, will you leave me forever from now on?" ”

Qiyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously. Yilong suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a burning gaze: "If I don't want this name, will you stay?" ”

"Yilong, this name is power and freedom for you. You've been planning for so many years, how can you give up? Besides, Yifu and Yizhen died because of you, how could I stay? Although this palace is magnificent, it breathlessly breathless. You are a natural king, resolute and decisive, scheming like the sea, and you are very suitable for that position. Qiyun replied slowly, full of sadness.

Yilong came over at the Qingming level, stepped forward, grabbed Qiyun's shoulder, and said word by word: "Over the years, I have been cultivating obscurity and working hard. It's for myself, and for the day when I can actually have you......"

Qiyun resolutely interrupted him: "Brother Yilong, this is the last time Yun'er has called you like this. You are the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and you will go down in history in the future, and you will no longer be the brother Yilong who was with me when I was a child. What you want has been obtained, and the poison in my body has been cured. We don't have to dwell on it anymore, I'm going where I need to go. Elan, we ...... After that will be indefinite. ”

At this moment, Yilong understood that even if he ascended the throne as the emperor, held real power, and owned the world, there were some that he would never be able to have.

His body had been conditioned, and old illnesses rarely flare-up, but at the moment the familiar pain overflowed from the tip of his heart, seeping into his limbs little by little...... The siblings no longer have strength. His hand let go of Qiyun's shoulder, took a step back, and asked in a low voice, "Yun'er, when are you going to leave?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning." Qiyun didn't dare to look up into his eyes.

"Okay, I'll send you tomorrow." Every word that Yoshitaka squeezed out of his lips seemed to drain all his strength. Qiyun replied in a low voice, "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning." You're tired every day, and you're not in good shape...... Don't come to send it. ”

On the second day, before dawn, Qiyun packed a simple burden and tied a long silk around his waist. Out of the Qilan Palace, I saw Yilong's thin figure hidden in the dark, and on the July day, his body seemed to be cold and dewy, his face was pale, and his lips were slightly blue. It turned out that Yilong was worried that she would not say goodbye, so he waited outside the Qilan Hall for half the night.

He looked at her and whispered, "I'll give you a ride." ”

She nodded silently.

And so, he sent one ride after another.

When she was about to leave Jiankang City, she looked to the north and said, "There is no need to send it again." ”

Yilong stroked her sideburns and said softly, "When everything is done on my side, I will send someone to pick you up." You take good care of yourself, and when you come back, you can't lose a single hair. Only this time, next time, I will never let go! ”
