Nian Nian angrily shook off Su Junchu's hand and asked him excitedly: "Third brother, didn't you promise me not to kill Li Mo and Li Rui?" You're going to do it again! ”

Several ministers looked at each other for a while, although they had long heard that the emperor favored the queen mother, but everyone was surprised to see the queen mother so bold in front of the emperor.

Su Junchu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Nian Nian and said, "There are some things you don't understand, Nian Nian, you go back first." ”

"I'm not leaving! Unless you tell them not to kill Li Mo and Li Rui! Nian Nian said angrily.

Su Junchu frowned patiently, but did not speak. He knew that if Nian Nian became stubborn, it would be difficult to end.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you and the queen are deeply in love. However, since ancient times, the emperor has been in charge, and the most taboo thing is that women are in politics. If you want to sit firmly in the country and achieve hegemony, you must not listen to the woman's opinion. Li Mo and Li Rui are both remnants of the previous dynasty, if they don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a comeback in the future, bringing new dangers to our dynasty. Please think twice about the emperor. At this time, the old minister who had just drunk and asked Nian Nian couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to build a message for Su Junchu.

"Yes, yes, the emperor can't be merciful." Xia Qing and several other ministers also chimed in.

Nian Nian glared angrily at these ministers who were absolutely loyal in the new dynasty, and turned his pleading gaze to Su Junchu again.

Su Junchu didn't look at Nian Nian, his face was cold and solemn, and his eyes were indifferent and murderous: "Chuan Zhen's order, from today onwards, all localities and departments must work together to hunt down Li Mo and Li Rui with all their might!" ”

"Third brother!" Nian Nian shouted fiercely and painfully, looking at Su Junchu's awe-inspiring face in disbelief.

Su Junchu hugged Nian Nian tightly with his left arm, but his mouth said more clearly and coldly: "No matter what way you use, as long as you can take Li Mo and Li Rui's life, I will be rewarded!" ”

Nian Nian couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Su Junchu away with all his might, and hurriedly ran out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Along the way, Niannian's mind was in chaos. Her pace couldn't help but get faster and faster, her body seemed numb, and her brain couldn't think, she only knew how to run back mechanically.

When she returned to Nianchu Palace, Zong Hua was still standing at the door, he looked at Niannian with anger and sadness on his face in surprise, and wanted to speak but finally didn't dare to open his mouth.

Nian Nian ran into the dormitory without looking, and slammed the door shut. Then she threw herself on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and enjoyed the darkness and silence of the night with her eyes open.

She thought she would cry, but at this moment, she couldn't shed a single tear. I only feel that my heart hurts, and I am tired.

Does the emperor have feelings? Nian Nian asked herself in her heart, and she immediately replied to herself, no! No! In their hearts, there is only the throne, only the right! Whoever threatens their forces, they will not let go of any of them! Killing a person is as common for them as stepping on an ant. Terrible......

Nian Nian thought silently, although it was already spring, she felt a cool air rise from the bottom of her heart, gradually enveloping her whole body, it seemed to be colder than winter.

After a while, I heard the door be pushed open, and someone walked in, all the way to Nian Nian's bed.

Nian Nian knew that it was Su Junchu, but she didn't want to move, let alone say anything to him.

Su Junchu sat down at the head of the bed and shouted softly, "Nian Nian." ”

Nian Nian didn't make a sound. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she and Su Junchu could not be regarded as a love match, in fact, there had always been a huge gap.

Although, their relationship has become so close. Still, she felt like she couldn't really understand him. And Su Junchu can't really understand her......

"Niannian, I don't believe you're asleep now." Seeing that Nian Nian didn't speak, Su Junchu said again.

Nian Nian lifted the quilt and sat up, and said loudly: "I'm not asleep, but I'm not in the mood to say anything to you!" ”

"Listen to me, read me...... Li Mo and Li Rui, if I don't kill them, sooner or later, they will come back and kill me. As the emperor, I can't let go of anyone who threatens my country. This is the truth...... I think you should understand that too. Su Junchu said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, yes, you are the emperor now, and you will not let go of anyone who threatens your throne. So, I want to ask the emperor, if one day, my existence also affects your status, will you also kill me? Nian Nian couldn't help but sneer.

"Niannian! What are you talking nonsense? If I'm going to kill you, I might as well kill myself first! Don't you still understand how important you are to my heart? Su Junchu raised his voice.

Nian Nian walked down from the bed and said indifferently: "I don't understand many things, but I can understand that the most important thing in your heart is your throne." The emperor doesn't have to talk to me so much, I don't want to hear anything now. ”

In the past, she had fantasized about persuading Su Junchu to give up the throne and leave with her, but now, she didn't even have such thoughts.

Mourning is greater than heart death, since he was in the Heart Cultivation Hall just now, when he heard Su Junchu so determined to kill Li Mo and Li Rui, Nian Nian's heart for him died......

"Niannian, can we stop arguing about such a thing? You must know that I want to be the emperor because of you, if it wasn't for you who said to me that you want to be the queen, how could I risk the world's disapproval to seize the throne? And now that I've done that, how can I turn back when things get to where I am today? If I give up on this, then I will not be the only one who will die. and Xia Qing, who have always been by my side and loyal to me, will inevitably be implicated. Niannian, why do you only think about Li Mo and Li Rui, and don't think about it for me? Su Junchu walked up to her and said.

Nian Nian smiled faintly: "Before everyone does something wrong, maybe they will find a reason to make themselves feel at ease." And your reason is me. Then I'll tell you now, I don't want to be this queen anymore, and I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, will you let me go? ”

What does that mean? Do you want to leave me? Su Junchu's face changed, and he stared at Nian Nian tightly.

Nian Nian didn't speak, she felt that now, between her and Su Junchu, a high wall had been erected.

"Niannian, why do you have to mess with me every time because of them? Do you know that I'm the one who loves you the most? Don't be willful, okay? Forget about Li Mo and Li Rui, let's start again. Su Junchu gently hugged her and said expectantly and gently.

"I'm sorry, I can't forget. If I can forget, then I won't miss it. Nian Nian resolutely pushed away Su Junchu's hand holding her.

"Nian Nian!" Su Junchu screamed in pain, trying to hug her again.

But Nian Nian said coldly: "Please don't touch me, the emperor!" I'm tired, please go back, Your Majesty! ”

Since she came back from the Heart Cultivation Palace, Nian Nian has never called Su Junchu's third brother once, and she has always called him the emperor. Su Junchu had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't ask her to call the third brother as forcefully as he did last time.

Because, today's thoughts look ...... It's really estranged from him.

Su Junchu looked at her intently, Niannian's expression was deep and indifferent, looking like a lonely goddess of sorrow.

He couldn't see through what Nian Nian was thinking at this time? However, Nian Nian's gloomy appearance made him panic, and he strode closer to Nian Nian, wanting to hug her into his arms regardless of a single moment.

Nian Nian immediately shouted sharply: "Don't come here!" If you come, I'll go! ”

Su Junchu stopped abruptly, and his outstretched arm froze in mid-air. This voice that rejected people thousands of miles away made Su Junchu suddenly feel that this time, he seemed to be really about to lose his thoughts......

Su Xiaorou and Liu Yangfeng stayed at the Border Pass Inn for the night.

The next day, the two of them came downstairs and ate something at random, and Liu Yangfeng asked, "Where are you going?" I'll send you. ”

"I don't know......" Su Xiaorou still looked like she was in a trance.

She was thinking about Li Mo and worried about Li Rui. I don't know what will be the outcome of Li Rui's trip to the palace?

"Miss, can you please stop making such a miserable mess? Let others see it, and think I'm bullying you, okay, laugh? Liu Yangfeng looked at her, shook his head and said.

"I can't laugh." Su Xiaorou said in a low voice, not only could she not laugh, but as soon as she said this, her eyes were covered with a layer of moisture.

Seeing that Su Xiaorou was about to shed tears again, Liu Yangfeng hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I will serve you." If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, but don't cry anymore, when you cry, I get a headache. ”

Su Xiaorou bit her lip and didn't speak, and finally endured the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes.

"If you don't know where to go, then I'll give you my opinion. You go back to the capital with me first, I'm going to find Niannian, and I want to see how my brother is doing when he goes back. Brother Rui and I are sworn brothers who intersect with life and death, and now that he is going to the palace alone, I can't stand idly by. I have to think about how to help him. Liu Yangfeng said.

"The person he wants to kill is my brother, and he also misses her current husband, do you still want to help him?" Su Xiaorou said with a white face.

"Oh...... These things of yours sound really complicated...... But in any case, let's go back to the capital first. Other things will be discussed later. Liu Yangfeng said contemplatively, and took Su Xiaorou's hand again: "Let's go, Miss Xiaorou, let's go back to Beijing together." ”

Su Xiaorou obediently followed Liu Yangfeng down the street. Yes, she has nowhere to go now, and nowhere to go. Perhaps, she can only go back to the palace to find her brother and find Niannian.

The two walked side by side, silently.

Although Liu Yangfeng wanted to talk to Su Xiaorou several times, he was not interested in seeing Su Xiaorou's demeanor as if no one was there. He knew that whatever he said now might be in vain.

Just walked not far away, Su Xiaorou's body suddenly shook strongly like a lightning strike.

She froze, her eyes staring straight ahead. There...... Standing described the haggard Li Mo.

Li Mo stood not far from Liu Yangfeng and Su Xiaorou, looking at Su Xiaorou quietly.

Yesterday, when he came down the mountain, he first inquired about the coachmen. Early in the morning, they said, a beautiful girl came from the mountains, got into a carriage and left.

Li Mo waited until the coachman who sent Su Xiaorou back, he knew that Su Xiaorou had arrived in this border town, and he had rushed here that day, but he did not find Su Xiaorou.

Li Mo had almost stayed awake all night, and he was going to continue to look for Su Xiaorou here and around today. But I didn't want to, as soon as I walked to the street in the early morning, I saw Su Xiaorou walking together with a man who looked like Niannian.

Li Mo's heart was pleasantly surprised, and he didn't care to think much about who this man who was missing? Why is Su Xiaorou with him? walked over directly: "Xiaorou, I finally found you." ”

Su Xiaorou's tears fell to the ground, she didn't dare to look at Li Mo's red eyes anymore, lowered her head and said, "Mo...... You don't have to look for me, I'm just going to get you in trouble......"

"Who said that? Xiaorou, don't you know that I will be in trouble without you? Li Mo hugged her, and said to Liu Yangfeng: "I don't know this brother's surname? Thank you for taking care of Xiaorou, Xiaorou is my fiancée, and now, I'm going to take her away. ”

Liu Yangfeng looked at Li Mo who suddenly appeared, was a little stunned for a while, and said in a daze: "My name is Liu Yangfeng, but ...... Are you really Miss Xiaorou's fiancé? I can't just leave her to you, I promised my brother to take good care of her. ”

Li Mo smiled faintly: "Xiaorou, tell this friend Liu Yangfeng, what is the relationship between you and me?" ”

Su Xiaorou looked up at Li Mo, and the words that Han Qi had said to her the night before yesterday rang in her ears: Gongzi was originally the prince of the country, the future son of heaven, and he has the great strategy and lofty ambition to govern the world. But because of you, he gave up this qiē, and he followed you every day to hide in this place far from the world, living an idle life of enjoying flowers and fishing, and only talking about the wind and moon. Your elder brother Su Junchu has now usurped the throne that originally belonged to him, can you still bear to stay here and continue to drag him back? If you stay by his side, Childe will never be able to turn back to the high-spirited and proud prince he used to be.

Her heart began to cramp again, yes, she couldn't drag Li Mo down anymore. What's more, her brother has now become an opposing enemy with Li Mo.

Even if Li Mo doesn't mind, can she still be as carefree with Li Mo as before? Obviously, it's impossible......

Perhaps, she should really find someone to marry as soon as Han Qi said, so that Li Mo will completely die.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaorou broke free from Li Mo's embrace, and instead moved closer to Liu Yangfeng: "Mo ...... Liu Yangfeng is Niannian's brother, and he is also very good, I am ready to ...... Married to him. ”
