Gu Yuancheng's eyes froze.

"Are you angry?" He was sure.

"Nope." After I finished speaking, I walked in with my sleeves brushed up.

Gu Yuancheng stood behind me and looked at me, his emotions fluctuated slightly, but for a moment, he lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Shen Qingzhi, just because of the national boundaries of this area, do you respect me so much? How much do you remember the oath on the bridge that year!

The robe brushed up the jade stairs, and I stopped in front of the emperor's bedchamber, and a little eunuch with a raw face hurried out to welcome me in.

Forcibly suppressing this slightly floating strangeness, I followed him to Emperor Qi.

"Shen Qingzhi, Prime Minister of Qinguo, meet His Majesty Emperor Qi." I leaned down and knelt down.

There was no sound from above for a long time.

I was puzzled in my heart, but out of courtesy, I still said aloud again, "Shen Qingzhi, Prime Minister of Qinguo, meet His Majesty Emperor Qi." ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" A violent cough suddenly sounded above, and the palace maids on both sides seemed to be suddenly frightened, and after glaring at me fiercely, they hurriedly ran over with a pale face.

I couldn't help but look up in surprise.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it really scared me.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? ”

Is this still the king of Qi who I saw before with a city in his heart and a face like a spring breeze?

Lifeless, his face was as pale as snow, his whole body was already thin, and a cyan robe was worn on him, loose and baggy, and could slip off almost in the next moment.

If it weren't for the gentleness and strength of his eyes, as always, I would have thought that the person half-lying in front of me was not a living person.

Shen Qingzhi ...... Ahem...... "Blood kept pouring out of his mouth, but he just wiped it with a handkerchief, and then raised his eyes and looked at me with a smile" I remember the first time I saw you, you were too...... cough cough cough ...... At that time, I was thinking, it turned out that the young prime minister of the Qin country was really as rumored, peerless, and handsome, but in a blink of an eye, he was already a ......."

I lowered my head, unable to bear to look at his frail face any longer.

In fact, he and I both knew in our hearts that when we saw each other today, it was the last time we saw each other.

"I know what the purpose of your visit is today, and what you are close to...... Ahem...... It doesn't have to be the sixth princess, it's up to you to decide. After Emperor Qi finished speaking, he gasped slightly, and the palace maid on the side saw this and immediately handed over the teacup.

"But, Your Majesty," I was anxious, and couldn't help raising my voice, "there are no other princesses of the right age in our country, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your destiny for the sake of the relationship between the two countries for many years, and my country will give you a generous gift to thank Your Majesty for your kindness today." ”

Emperor Qi stopped drinking water, looked down at me, and after a moment, he shook his head and smiled, "Shen Xiang, it's not your mistake to be soft-hearted." ”

My face froze, but I was still reluctant to speak, but Emperor Qi had already waved my hand and ordered me to retreat.

"This step I retreated today is just for the sake of Yuancheng, I can't watch him destroy it in your hands, what should I do, you should think carefully about it."

My heart sank suddenly, and I only felt that this cold autumn mood had come to me with the gusts of breeze.

Lowering my eyes slightly, I bowed and exited the hall.

"Lord Shen Xiang, Your Majesty said, let the servant take you to meet Concubine Li." The little eunuch who welcomed me in at the beginning hurriedly ran out again, and quickly stopped me who was leaving.

Gu Yuancheng had been waiting for me outside, and when he heard such a request, he couldn't help but change his face.

"I'll go with you."

When the little eunuch heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Your Majesty is still ...... also said, you are not allowed to go, adult, you can only go with Lord Shen Xiang and the minion, big ...... My lord. Please, give the minions a way to live. ”

Gu Yuancheng's face was slightly angry, and he was about to scold him for not understanding the rules, but Chen Kun suddenly appeared, hugged his fists and saluted, "Lord Gu Xiang, the last general is ordered by His Majesty to take you to supervise the Praetorian Guard, please go with the last general." ”

His eyes turned cold for a moment, and Gu Yuancheng smiled contemptuously, "If the prime minister doesn't want to go, why wouldn't General Chen still have to use force against the prime minister?" ”

Chen Kun knows how powerful Gu Yuancheng is, and he also knows his grudge-holding temperament, if he were ordinary, he would rather have a deep friendship than offend, but with the emperor's order on his side, he was really embarrassed, so he could only put his pleading eyes on me.

To say, this is Qi Guo's own internal affairs, I am an outsider, and it is really difficult to interfere, but Gu Yuancheng is clearly embarrassed by them because of me, and I can't stand idly by, and Qi Guo has just undergone a big blood change, Gu Yuancheng is the time to consolidate his position, if it is for me to fall out with them, how should I bear this responsibility?

"His Majesty Emperor Qi's order is already very clear, Yuancheng, don't make trouble." I deliberately lowered my face, and then whispered to him, "I'll be fine, don't worry." ”

Gu Yuancheng's eyes moved, he wanted to say something to me, but I raised my hand and stopped him.

"Father-in-law, let's go."

When the little eunuch heard this, he was like a pardon, and he got up from the ground tremblingly, and he respectfully led me in the way.

When I walked past Chen Kun, I paused slightly and asked him, "Do you have any words that you need me to bring to her?" ”

Chen Kun's expression was stunned, but he just shook his head at me and didn't say anything.

I glanced at him and finally sighed. Let's do it

It turned out that he really didn't have any heart for her.

In fact, it should be like this, if there is really a moment of temptation, how can he be indifferent from the beginning of the accident to the present?

Shaking my head, I didn't pause any longer, and followed the little eunuch away.

Speaking of which, although Concubine Li was not really the biological daughter of Emperor Qi of the previous dynasty, she never admitted that the real owner of the Qilin jade pendant was her, but in the end, she took out the Qilin jade pendant, internally and externally, Emperor Qi could not directly order her to be executed.

Of course, even if you are still alive for the time being, the situation must not be as good as it once was.

Passing through a rather desolate path, I followed the little eunuch, walked around and around, turning and turning, until at last I saw Concubine Li, whose feet were chained to a pillar in the depths of the dead wood.

Her appearance was very haggard, and the clothes that should have been gorgeous had lost their former soft light, but Emperor Qi did not act ruthlessly, although she was locked, there was no injury on her body.

As soon as we took two steps closer, she spotted the clue, and she looked up at us, staring at me with somewhat distracted eyes.

"Pavilion Master......"

I sighed in my heart.

"Concubine Li, Your Majesty has asked Lord Shen Xiang and the servants to come and see you." The little eunuch stepped forward and raised his voice.

Concubine Li was stunned for a while before she took her eyes off her body.

Laughing at herself slightly, she lowered her eyes, "I just said, how could he come to see me......"

Looking at her sad and lonely appearance, I was moved, but I had nothing to say.

For an infatuated woman, who can say more?

"Why are you here?" She suddenly put away the look on her face and looked up at me, "What about Chen Kun?" Shouldn't he have come to see me one last time? ”

I didn't know what to say, so I could only say, "His Majesty Emperor Qi has an order to let him take Gu Xiang to supervise the soldiers, and he will ...... for a while. I'm afraid I can't get here. ”

"Heh," she smiled, "is it true that men's affection is like this?" Are you like to play with women's hearts? ”

There was a slight thorn in my heart, and my eyes were cold.

"Don't forget, Niangniang, you are not sincere to General Chen, how can you count his sin against you? Besides, the matter of feelings, it has always been your love and my willingness, it is you who are willing to be a knife in Bai Wuxin's hand, Bai Wuxin has ever said that he likes you? In the end, it's just that you're cocooning yourself and taking the blame on yourself. ”

I said it coldly and ruthlessly, but Concubine Li laughed when she heard it.

She laughed and shed tears at the same time, "Shen Xiang, Shen Xiang, a man like you, don't you know what love is?" ”

With such clear rules and evidence, how can there be a word "love", such a soft and lingering thing?

If you use it too deeply, it will always hurt people.

I looked at her with a moment of confusion in my heart.

I don't understand, if you have no self for the sake of feelings, is this really "love"? Is there love, you have to be a moth to the fire like her, I don't know the destiny of heaven, I can only pity myself?

Everyone has a time when they are desperate for love, but is it really worth burying their whole life with this little love?

What's more, Bai Wuxin never took her to heart at all.

"Concubine Li, this is given to you by Your Majesty." Seeing that I had nothing to say to Concubine Li, the little eunuch took out a small purple porcelain vase from his bosom and held it up to her on his knees...... But what are the unfulfilled wishes? Your Majesty has said that he will do his best to meet your needs. ”

Concubine Li looked concerned, glanced at the porcelain vase in the little eunuch's hand as if mockingly, and reached out to take it very simply.

"You go back and tell Your Majesty that he takes good care of his body, he is a good king."

The little eunuch lowered his head and answered.

Concubine Li didn't say anything more, opened the small porcelain bottle, raised her head and drank it.

"You...... I don't want to know Bai Wuxin...... "I couldn't help but step forward, but Concubine Keli shook her head at me.

She clenched the porcelain vase in her hand and leaned quietly against the pillar behind her.

I watched her slowly close her eyes, and then the porcelain vase she was holding in her hand fell from mid-air, and with a "bang", it fell into a broken flower.

"Did His Majesty Emperor Qi say how to bury her?" I asked the little eunuch out loud.

The little eunuch lowered his head and replied, "It was General Chen who pleaded with His Majesty, saying that he would bury him with the gift of the eldest princess." ”

I was surprised, then shook my head and smiled.

"You're a good person, and you're probably going to be on top of people in the future, right?"

The little eunuch didn't speak, but just got up and sent me out of here respectfully.
