I turned my head and asked, "So what?" Are you still complaining to me now that you regret the contract you made with me? Stop dreaming, do you think you are really the heroine of some book? It's not going to be easy. It's just that everything has an ending. ”

Yes, all is predestined for freedom.

This sentence, not long after, Zhang Yan also said it to Chang Xi. Her delicate embroidered shoes stepped on the messy Zhaoyang Palace, and she sat side by side with Chang Xi on the wide and dilapidated swing in the courtyard.

"God is doomed, if the Queen Mother dies, Sister Juan, the fate of the two of us will be completely rewritten."

"At least for sure, I'm not going to be rewritten anything."

"For what?"

Because the line of thought that Chang Xi wants to take in the future has been very clear.

What about Zhang Yan? Zhang Yan is no longer the immature child she was at that time, she is now a twenty-three big girl, calm and elegant.

Chang Xi clearly understood that if the Lu family was overthrown, Zhang Yan would also be implicated, Chang Xi knew about it, but he couldn't help her.

"Shujun, Xie Lu thanks you. Xie Lu, thank you for helping me so much, if it weren't for you to answer in the palace, I wouldn't even be able to see Liu Ying when she left, and I wouldn't have seen Gong'er. ”

"Sister Juan, I'm honest, I regret it. I sometimes think that if you had escaped from the palace and had not returned to the palace and not seen your uncle and Gong'er, maybe the result would have been better now than now...... However, I thought again, maybe if I really did that, maybe my uncle would regret it for the rest of his life and hate himself for the rest of his life. ”

Chang Xi smiled lightly, closed his eyes and leaned on the hemp rope on the swing: "Really...... I guess it'......."

There are no ifs in this world.

"Everything is coming to an end......"

Whether it is Chang Xi who is destined to be good, or Zhang Yan who is uncertain about life and death.

[Lü Pheasant actually died in August of 180 BC, eight years after Henkel. In order to match the chronological development of the whole story, the historical time is advanced by one year, to August 181 BC, seven years after Henkel. 】

[Seven years after Henkel, 181 BC, July.] 】

Lu Pheasant was seriously ill.

Chang Xi has lived in this dilapidated Zhaoyang Hall for three whole months, that is to say, she has been tortured by Lu Pheasant in these three months, and she has never met Liu Zhang.

Chang Xi has thought about many things, including his own fate, Lu Pheasant's fate, Liu Zhang's fate, and how the world will evolve.

And what should she do to make Liu Zhang wipe away her hatred for herself. There are also her daughters Wanqing, Changxi's Liu Gong and Wanqing, she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother

The overall situation of the Chaogang still looks like that, but Chang Xi had paid attention to Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's strategy before, and now it seems that it should still be effective, otherwise Lu Pheasant will not find a breakthrough when he is about to die.

Lu Pheasant's condition is so serious that she can't get out of bed, and she should also know that she will die soon. Therefore, he also made a decree and appointed Lu Chu's father, Lu Lu, the king of Zhao, as a general to lead the northern army. The southern army was led by Lü Chan, the king of Lü.

Lu Pheasant also called Lu Chan and Lu Lu to Yifeng Palace and said: "The Lu family has been crowned king, and the ministers have been indignant. The mourning family has not been around for long, and the mourning family is still not at ease to pass away. The emperor was still young, and the mourning family feared that the ministers would take the opportunity to make trouble. You must firmly control the military power in your own hands, and you must defend the palace! ”

"The Empress Dowager is relieved."

"Also, you must remember that you must not mourn your mourning family, so as not to be held back by others after leaving the important land."

Chang Xi felt more and more uneasy, and this uneasiness came from the fear that Lu Pheasant was about to die.

Until that day, Lu Pheasant sent a will, asking Chang Xi to go to Yifeng Palace.

Lu Pheasant was lying on the bed, she was a little similar to Liu Ying's eyebrows, so her pale face suddenly hit Chang Xi's heart, and the memory of Liu Ying's death was overwhelming.

Chang Xi wiped his tears, and then walked into Lu Pheasant.

"What are you crying about? Could it be...... Did you think of Ying'er? ”

Lu Pheasant's eyes did not look at Chang Xi, but they could understand her inner thoughts, which Chang Xi was accustomed to, and Lu Pheasant was terrible at this point.

"You don't know what to do, the day Liu Ying left, I was with him. It snowed so hard that day, and he said he was cold, and his hands were cold, just like you are now. ”

Chang Xi smiled, and then shook Lu Pheasant's hand: "No, his hands are much colder than yours, but I can only watch him go on so cold, I feel very cowardly." But...... You, a mother, are even worse than me, because you made him like a desperate situation, and you can give him warmth, but you don't choose the path that makes him happy. ”

Lu Pheasant didn't answer Chang Xi's next topic, she closed the corners of her wrinkled eyes: "The mourning family knows the way." When Ying'er left that day, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. At first, I thought that Ying'er had forgiven the mourning family, and he could go on the road with peace of mind, but later when the mourning family held his palm, he found that his palm was a little warm. Shujun's little hands didn't have that kind of strength, and at that time, the mourning family was still thinking absurdly, was Chang Wan's ghost back, and she was accompanying Ying'er through the last journey? It's just that I didn't expect you to die, it's just that it can be regarded as a wish of Ying'er. ”

Chang Xi grabbed Lu Pheasant's hand and clenched it fiercely, she couldn't wait to pull out a knife and kill Lu Pheasant right now.

In the past, she would have done this, but somehow, now her mood is different. Faced with an enemy, an enemy who was bound to take revenge when Chang Xi was resurrected, she didn't have the heart to think about the thoughts that let Lu Pheasant die early.

"Lu Pheasant, do you know how much I hate you? I want to hate you more, but they won't have as much as I do. You sent the two people I love the most to hell, and completely separated the people who love me the most, all you let me taste is the heart-wrenching pain of this world, you now imprison me in this golden cage, let me die with you, Lu Pheasant, I really hate you......"

When Chang Xi said this, he didn't grit his teeth like usual, but he was weak.

You get tired when you fall in love with someone, and when you hate someone, you get tired sooner or later. Even if the relationship will not change in the end, but my energy can't keep up.

Chang Xi sighed and leaned next to Lu Pheasant's bed: "You said that you are also a woman, you hurt the people around you so crazy, how do you feel in your heart?" The Empress Dowager ......"

Lu Pheasant laughed with his nose and sighed shallowly.

The current atmosphere is very ingenious, at least even when Chang Xi hated Lu Pheasant the most, she never thought that she would talk to the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty like this, without using honorific titles, neither humble nor arrogant.

Because although she was full of hatred for Lu Pheasant before, she was afraid of Lu Pheasant in her heart, and under such fear, on the other hand, she had to admit that Lu Pheasant was a woman who was also worthy of her admiration.

"The mourning family thinks that you are really similar to the mourning family, so you should understand that if you were sitting on this phoenix throne at the beginning, one person under ten thousand people, and looking at everything, would you protect the world and maintain the country like the mourning family, do you think the mourning family will not hate you? You are too similar to Mrs. Qi back then, you look charming, but it is not this that the mourning family hates you, but in the days when you and Liu Ying got along, the mourning family saw the mood of Gaozu and Mrs. Qi together, so the mourning family was even more angry. Shujun is the queen, but she is neglected, but you are your concubine, but you can please the emperor night and night...... It's like the mourning family back then. ”

"I'm not Mrs. Qi, and I'm not you."

If it is the same point, Chang Xi is the same as Mrs. Qi, he has the emperor's sincerity, and the tragic ending is the same.

And what Chang Xi has in common with Lu Pheasant is that they do whatever it takes to eradicate the obstacles in front of them! No matter who will be sacrificed or who will be hurt, I know that the road ahead of the road is bloody and blurry, but I still have to keep my temper going.

But Chang Xi turned out to be like this, after she was reborn, she began to want revenge......

When he thought of this, Chang Xi suddenly understood what Lu Pheasant had just said.

"You mean, you were once a woman who wanted to live a simple life?"

Lu Pheasant nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "The mourning family never wanted a simple life, the kind of simplicity that the mourning family wants is the mourning family in his eyes, unique." The mourning family had already identified a man at the first sight of Gaozu, and was willing to follow him to walk in all directions, willing to follow him against Xiang Yu to attack Xianyang City, and the mourning family could even sacrifice their lives as hostages. But what I didn't expect was that Gaozu had changed, he had become high, and the mourning family was no longer recognized. The left and right hands are hugging those beauties, where can the mourning family compare, and they can only take Ying'er to guard the cold palace alone. Gradually, my heart became colder, and later, my resentment became deeper and deeper...... At that time, the mourning family thought that if they couldn't get favor, at least they couldn't ruin Ying'er's future......"

This is the growth history of every harem woman, but Lu Pheasant is not a woman who should grow up in the harem and only knows how to compete for favor, she has extraordinary ambitions, so she is in power for three dynasties and listens to politics.

Chang Xi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice cooled down: "What are you telling me about this?" Do you think I'll forgive you? Even if you come down so hard, yes, I do understand you, but it doesn't mean that I can accept all your actions, at least I ...... to my beloved."
