The Mid-Autumn Festival soon arrived, and the emperor and queen and the crown prince, Li Xian and Tang Ying ate and admired the moon on Penglai Island in Taiye Pond. The meal was eaten quite quickly, because Helan Minyue said that she was unwell and did not come out in the Pearlescent Palace, and Wu Shun was of course worried that her daughter would take care of her and did not come.

Li Zhi was worried about Minyue all night, although he didn't say it, but his worried expression was overflowing, and he toasted Wu Mei and the princes very perfunctory. And according to Tang Ying's observation, he always deliberately distanced himself from Wu Mei, I don't know if it was because he had been with Helan Minyue for a long time and had heard too much about the wind on the pillow.

The kung fu of a meal has already sent Wang Fusheng to see Helan three times. Wang Fusheng no longer shirked, and ran forward and backward very neatly, and seemed to have begun to treat Helan as a serious master. Tang Ying didn't believe that Wu Mei didn't see it, but her expression couldn't be more indifferent, so that Tang Ying couldn't guess what she was thinking.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Li Zhi hypothesized that he was not strong enough to drink and wanted to go back to Zichen Hall to rest, Wu Mei gently instructed two sentences and asked Tang Ying to send it off. Tang Ying helped the faltering Li to rule Penglai Island, and immediately let go of his arm when he got on the boat. When he saw that he was pretending to be drunk, he had to brush the folds of his robe on his legs, and bowed his head like a guilty child.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Wang Fusheng hurriedly asked: "Does the girl accompany Bixia to take a boat, or will she be sent here?" ”

Tang Ying just said: "That's it...... here"

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi also spoke at the same time, "Take a boat!" Wang Fusheng didn't know who to listen to for a while, so he had to bow over and wait for them to continue. Li Zhi pulled Tang Ying and motioned for her to get on the boat, "Ying'er, I have something important to tell you, you can take the boat with me." ”

Tang Ying saw that his expression was sincere, not like a joke, so he took his skirt and boarded the boat. Wang Fusheng silently supported the boat at the bow of the boat, Li Zhi watched the full moon in the sky come out for a while, and sighed slowly: "Do you know? To me, you are like the moon in the sky, although you can't touch it, you have always shone in my heart and make my heart yearn for it. ”

Li Zhi has always been hesitant to express his feelings for Tang Ying, she is also a little accustomed to it, and just wanted to find something to comfort him, but who knew that he suddenly said: "So, you have to believe that no matter what, my feelings for you will not change, and I will never do anything to hurt you." ”

Wang Fusheng almost threw away the oars when he heard this, and the edge of the oars slammed into the boat with a loud sound. Li Zhi was about to turn his head and blame him for being careless, but he said with a smile on his face: "The shadow girl is not strange. The emperor was overwhelmed with alcohol, and began to babble nonsense and say some sad things again. ”

Tang Ying looked at him, and then at Li Zhi, who was suddenly silent, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Rich's words seemed to imply something, which was strange in the first place, because there was almost nothing to say between them. And Wang Fusheng's behavior was even more bizarre, as if he wanted to cover up something.

Li Zhi seemed to know that he was talking too much, so he simply took Tang Ying's hand and began to sigh again, "Ying'er, you know. For me, other women are just the reflection of the moon in the water, although they are substitutes, but they can be touched after all......"

Tang Ying watched him rambling around, and quickly pondered the facts he wanted to cover up. His words just now seemed to indicate that her situation would change, and when she contacted the current situation, she quickly thought about Wu Mei's impeachment.

Is this already imminent?

Li Zhi saw that she seemed to be absent-minded for a long time, so he squeezed her hand and asked with concern: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it uncomfortable anymore? ”

Tang Ying blinked hurriedly and replied, "I'm fine." By the way, what disease did Mrs. Wei have, and it didn't matter? ”

Li Zhi said "oh", and only replied after a while: "Minyue is not a big problem, the imperial doctor said that it is good to recuperate." ”

"It's strange, she was alive and well a while ago." Tang Ying pretended to be casual and said, "I remember that her brother came to look for her a few days ago, and they were rowing together?" ”

Li Zhi embarrassedly let go of the hand holding her, and said hesitantly: "Maybe it's the wind blowing on the lake." As he spoke, the boat had already docked, and the waiting eunuch hurriedly gathered around and parked the boat.

Wang Fusheng helped Li Zhi ashore, and sent a eunuch to row Tang Ying back to Penglai Island.

Tang Ying originally wanted to secretly follow him to see what Helan Minyue was doing, but it was better to discuss it with Wu Mei first.

Wait to return to Penglai Hall with Wu Mei. She told Wu Mei about Li Zhi's abnormality and her speculation about Helan Minyue. What she didn't expect was that Wu Mei didn't show surprise at all, and seemed to know it a long time ago.

"Mei Niang. How are you prepared to respond? Tang Ying asked, "I think the emperor seems to want to be unfavorable to you." She didn't say the words after the abolition, I believe Wu Mei can guess it.

Wu Mei and the other maids took off her makeup, and then said to Tang Ying: "Although it's late, you can go to Li Chunfeng." ”

Tang Ying held his breath and said to Wu Mei: "At the current crisis, how can I abandon you?" Seeing that they are about to attack, and we don't know their specific plans yet, how can you still tell me to leave? ”

Wu Mei put down the comb in her hand, pulled her hand and said affectionately: "Ying'er, maybe you are the only person in this world who is still standing by my side." Tang Ying was also quite moved to hold her hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you." In fact, since she can defend Wu Mei in front of Li Shimin, she has already strengthened her determination to assist her.

Wu Mei gently stroked her bulging belly and said gently, "However, you really don't have to worry. I had already anticipated what they were going to do. I deliberately let them go down, not only to do it, but also to make a move, to vent thoroughly, to do it with all my might. Only in this way, after encountering failure, will the emperor completely break his mind. ”

Tang Ying looked at her in surprise, "But, what if it is self-defeating?" What if you are really scrapped? ”

Wu Mei raised her head and looked at her, her eyes were extremely determined, "If I can't deal with it, maybe it really means that I am not worthy of being a queen." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "However, I'm sure, don't worry." ”

There was an inexplicable magic in her words, which made Tang Ying very sure that she could pass this level. In fact, although the specific process is not known, history records that Shangguanyi did fail.

Wu Mei's domineering is beyond her imagination, I don't know when Wu Mei will never ask her the answers that only those "prophets" will know.

At this time, Wu Mei was already fully able to control her own destiny.

Tang Ying didn't leave the palace in the end, and spent the night with Wu Mei. Early the next morning, she dressed up early and left Penglai Palace to go to Xishan to find Li Chunfeng.

At this time, the autumn mood is already strong, and the red and yellow colors of the mountains are dyed with green leaves little by little, so the scenery in the mountains is particularly rich and beautiful. Tang Ying waited for a while to get to Xishan while walking.

Unexpectedly, at the gate of the small courtyard, which had always been deserted, there was a low-key but well-made carriage parked.

Who could be visiting so early in the morning?
