After coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Ye Nianchen walked towards the palace gate gracefully.

This hasn't been long yet, but it happened to meet the prince Li Zhi who was hurrying towards him.

Seeing Ye Nianchen, Li Zhi was stunned at first, and then quickly measured it up and down, and saw that Ye Nianchen didn't seem to have anything, so he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Walking to the front, Ye Nianchen stopped, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the palace gate of the concubine: "You won't come to say hello to the concubine, right?" ”

"I heard that the concubine summoned you, and I was a little worried, so I came here to take a look." Li Zhi didn't hide his thoughts, and smiled rarely: "But looking at your appearance, everything is under control, and it doesn't matter if I come here this time." ”

"Your Highness can come, Nianchen is grateful in my heart, but you really shouldn't come this time, it's not good for you." Ye Nianchen received Li Zhi's affection, and it seems that Li Zhi also counted that Concubine Jiang and the Jiang family couldn't hold back her.

Li Zhi didn't care, and said: "It's nothing good or bad, I took someone to rescue you that day, and some things that should be known are already known." Let's go, I'll send you out of the palace. ”

After that, Li Zhi didn't ask Ye Nianchen and Concubine Jiang what they had said before, but directly turned around and personally sent Ye Nianchen out of the palace.

Ye Nianchen knew that what Li Zhi said was true, so he didn't postpone it and followed directly.

Li Zhi deliberately slowed down his pace, letting Ye Nianchen walk side by side with him, and the warm sunlight fell on the two of them. It makes him feel peaceful and nice.

There is a lingering luxury thought in the depths of my heart, if I can be accompanied by her like this in this life, it would be great.

"If there is no accident, in order to protect themselves, Concubine Jiang and the Jiang family will definitely speed up the pace of fighting for the throne for the second prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be fully prepared."

Along the way, Ye Nianchen took the lead in breaking the silence between the two: "And this time the corruption case is over, the emperor knows the truth, but he only took the opportunity to cut the Jiang family's strength, and he has not touched the second prince at all, which is enough to show the weight of the second prince in his heart." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not ascend the throne for a day. The throne can change at any time. The longer you stay in this storage position, the greater the danger, and please think twice! ”

"You mean, let me take advantage of the Jiang family's plot with the second child to force the palace?" Li Zhi's footsteps were slightly stunned. But it didn't stop. After only a moment's hesitation, it returned to normal. Continue to follow the previous rhythm and walk forward with Ye Nianchen.

"You are the prince of the Eight Classics, the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty. Where do you need to do those. Since some people can't wait to force the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only needs to quell the rebellion, take advantage of the situation to let the overly frightened emperor abdicate and recuperate, and be his emperor well. ”

Ye Nianchen's face was incredibly calm, as if what he said was just adding something to the meal and subtracting something.

"And then?" Li Zhi finally stopped and looked at Ye Nianchen's eyes fixedly.

At this time, they were very close to each other, so close that when they spoke, they could feel the breath of each other.

Ye Nianchen also stopped his steps, first was silent for a while, and then replied: "Then you are the new emperor of Great Wei, and you don't have to be threatened by anyone from now on, just work hard to benefit the common people." ”

"I mean you......" Li Zhi whispered, "By then, Princess Zhaohua, the Ye family, and the Jiang family have all gone to the karmic retribution they should bear according to your wishes, and even my father and the emperor have lost the rights he values the most, and all the revenge has been perfectly achieved for you." Is that the time when you will leave forever? ”

"Since Your Highness knows that I am here for this, and after doing everything I should do, I naturally have to leave." Ye Nianchen didn't have a trace of reluctance, this capital was originally just a dark and ugly cage.

Hearing this, Li Zhi smiled uncomfortably, the smile seemed to have been pulled by something, and what was hidden was only the sudden loneliness and emptiness in the depths of his heart.

"Your heart is really not ordinary ruthless, compared to the second child, should I be glad that you have not spread hatred to me?" Li Zhi asked rhetorically, he didn't want to say this, but if he doesn't say it now, maybe he won't have a chance in the future.

Ye Nianchen couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "I don't hate the second prince, and I have never spread the enmity between my mother and brother to the entire royal family. Essentially, the second prince just took the path he chose, and I just happened to run into it. ”

"What about me? What am I to you? Li Zhi looked a little excited, paused, and finally whispered: "You should know that I am really pleased with you!" Didn't you ever have the slightest interest in me, just as a partner for your cooperation? ”

Ye Nianchen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this time, Li Zhi would reveal his heart to her so directly.

For a moment, she didn't know how to speak, because it was not right to say anything at this time.

"Nianchen, what exactly do you want? Tell me okay? Seeing that Ye Nianchen didn't squeak, Li Zhi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Ye Nianchen's arm and asked, "Tell me, what should I do to keep you?" When I ascend the throne, whatever you want, whatever you ask me to do, I promise you, as long as you stay, stay! ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Ye Nianchen sighed slightly, but raised his hand and gently pulled Li Zhi's hand away: "Your Highness, why is this difficult, you should know that we are not people on the same road, this palace is where you can display your ambitions and control the world, but I am just a gorgeous cage, even if I stay, what can I do?" A woman like the crown princess is your like-minded person, so why waste your mind on me. ”

"Speaking of which, it's just that you don't have me in your heart, if it's Gu Mingyi, do you still think that this palace is just a gorgeous cage?"

Li Zhi's expression appeared rare gloomy, and he lost control in front of a woman for the first time.

He is really jealous, jealous of Gu Mingyi. Why was Gu Mingyi able to monopolize Ye Nianchen's heart, and he was also willing to do anything for her in exchange for this woman's slightest touch?

He never felt that he was worse than Gu Mingyi, and there was no man in the world that he couldn't compare, he just wanted to know what he should do in exchange for Ye Nianchen's change of heart, so that this woman could stay for him!

In this cold palace, more than 20 years have already made him accustomed to all loneliness, but the sudden appearance of such a woman warms his heart like the sun.

If it never appeared, it would be fine, but let him try the melting warmth and then return to the dead silence of coldness and loneliness, which is cruel!

"Your Highness, there is no such thing as an if." Ye Nianchen saw this. Knowing that this kind of thing is inevitable. I had to say truthfully: "Since Your Highness knows that I already belong in my heart, you shouldn't waste time on me anymore, you can't force this kind of thing, let's continue to be cooperative companions and friends." Isn't it nice? ”

"What if I say no?" Li Zhi is really a little out of his mind. One step closer again. Almost next to Ye Nianchen: "I don't need any friends, if I say that you don't stay, we won't even be able to cooperate with each other now?" ”

"You won't. While I do need your cooperation to get there, you're the real beneficiary, aren't you? ”

Ye Nianchen smiled slightly, and persuaded calmly: "Your Highness, don't be angry, you are a natural king, Jiangshan Sheji is your ambition, as for the love of children, this has nothing to do with the great emperor." Why do you have any obsession with this kind of thing, there are more women in the world who are better than me, and in the future you will definitely meet someone who is pleasing to you and you to her! ”

After that, Ye Nianchen did not stay in place any longer, and walked forward again.

Li Zhi's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't say anything for a long time, and waited until Ye Nianchen walked a long way, then he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and chased after him quickly.

"You're right, I really won't interrupt our cooperation because of gas."

Walking side by side again, Li Zhi has returned to his usual color, as he had never appeared in the previous state: "You are right, there are indeed many women who are better than you in this world, and there will be many people who are happy with me and willing to stay by my side for a long time in the future." You're right, the love of children has nothing to do with the emperor. ”

Li Zhi's words made Ye Nianchen not know how to respond, and after thinking about it, he simply didn't squeak, and walked silently like this.

Fortunately, the palace gate was in front of him, Ye Nianchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer let Li Zhi personally send it, bowed slightly, and left alone.

Li Zhi stood in place, watching Ye Nianchen leave without saying a word, until the last trace of background disappeared completely, but he never retracted his gaze for a long time.

"What is the crown prince thinking?"

The second prince, Li Yu, didn't know when he appeared next to the prince, and just like Li Zhi, he also looked at each other in the direction where Ye Nianchen had long disappeared, and his expression looked a little lonely.

Li Zhi was not surprised by Li Yu's appearance, and finally slowly withdrew his gaze in that inquiry.

"Bengong is thinking, how long has the second emperor brother followed Bengong all the way?" Li Zhi looked at Li Yu, and his eyes were already as cold as usual.

"Brother Crown Prince, you have so many attendants with you, but I haven't heard anything you say at all."

Li Yu laughed, three points serious, seven points improper: "Originally, I wanted to talk to that girl, but I never thought that the imperial brother would send it all the way to the palace gate, but he didn't give me a chance at all." ”

"What do you want her to say? Do you want to stumble on her as to Concubine Jiang? Li Zhi sneered: "Or is your mother worried that Concubine Jiang can't help her, so she specially asked you to go over to see the situation?" ”

"Brother Huang said this, as if I wished that something would have happened to her. Can't I be afraid that something will happen to her? ”

Li Yu's smile was a little colder: "Why should the imperial brother look at me because of this kind of thing, it seems that the weight of that girl in your heart is really not light, even if she knows that the person she cares about in her heart is not you, but she still maintains it like this." I really didn't see it, I didn't expect the prince's brother to be a lover, I don't know how my father would feel if he found out? ”

"You don't need to threaten the palace with this kind of thing, my father loves you, so even if you commit such a big thing, you will never really be dealt with by you, and now you are obviously still thinking about the expiration of the deadline behind closed doors, and you can still swagger in the palace!"

Li Zhi said: "But don't forget, if you want your father to abolish my prince and set you up, it's impossible, if you don't believe it, you can try!" ”

"Why do you want to provoke me, you know that this is a great crime, and you can't just button up such a hat as a rebellion."

Li Yu laughed, a little helpless: "Okay, let's stop fighting for that conscienceless girl brother, she has all her mind on Gu Mingyi, and there is nothing to do with us at all." ”

"By the way, speaking of Gu Mingyi, this reminds me of something for my imperial brother."

Li Yu turned his words around, got closer, and asked Li Zhi with a mysterious look: "A few days ago, Gu Mingyi suddenly took leave of absence and left Beijing, and I don't know what happened. ”

"Gu Mingyi left Beijing suddenly, and even his father and emperor only asked someone to pass it on, and he didn't say any reason, how could this palace know what the inside story was."

Seeing Li Yu mention Gu Mingyi, Li Zhi was extremely calm, and there were no emotional fluctuations as Li Yu thought.

"I really don't know or don't want to tell the emperor?" Li Yu didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Why do I think, what does Gu Mingyi's sudden departure from Beijing have to do with the imperial brother?" ”

"You're thinking too much! There is still something in the palace, and the royal brother should also go back to the house and close the door and confine! ”

Li Zhi ignored Li Yu's temptation, threw down his words and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Li Yu didn't say anything, just shook his head, smiled with an expression that you don't say, I know, and then didn't stay in the palace for a long time, and decisively went back to the house first, as Li Zhi said.

This person dispersed, and it didn't take long for someone to give Ye Nianchen some things before and after entering the palace and leaving the palace to the emperor who was correcting and correcting in the imperial study as much as possible.

"Long live Lord, I don't know what Concubine Jiang said to Ye Nianchen specifically, but the concubine should have wanted to take the opportunity to summon Ye Nianchen into the palace to get rid of Ye Nianchen at first, but later I didn't know what happened, the concubine was stunned that she didn't even move a single hair Ye Nianchen, and finally let her leave."

The father-in-law said cautiously: "Later, the prince hurried over, and saw Ye Nianchen outside the palace of the concubine, so he sent people directly to the palace gate. The prince and Ye Nianchen talked all the way, and it seemed that the prince seemed to care very much about Ye Nianchen, anyway, the slave had never seen the prince take the initiative to care about any woman. And ......" (To be continued.) )
