Luo Liyao heard his words, and was a little worried about Luo Yuanjing's safety, so she never stopped struggling in Luo Xizheng's arms.

Luo Xizheng was helpless, so he had to lean over and comfort her in her ear: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I must have ordered him not to hurt his life...... He won't have to worry about his life. ”

"Listening to the momentum, is he going to rush to the Temple of Heaven?" Luo Liyao wanted to look sideways at his face, but his hand gently pinched his chin and forcibly faced the ancestral spirit position in front of him, "It's ...... here."

"This is the spiritual seat of the ancestors and the ancestors." Luo Xizheng continued her words, coldly seeing that the people he had installed had surrounded Luo Yuanjing, and couldn't help but show a meaningful smile, "If he is allowed to rush up, disturb the peace of the ancestors, and even destroy the furnishings here, I am afraid that those old ministers who originally wanted to support him to keep him will feel that he deserves death." ”

"So your people will just make him unable to come up." Luo Liyao looked at the newest two of the many spiritual positions, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

The father and mother had just died, but they were fratricidal because of the ownership of the throne.

The bodies of the deceased have not yet been buried in the mausoleum, and the spiritual seat has just been prepared to be enshrined in the Shangshe Ji Temple, but they have begun to find each other's faults for these things, and they have tried their best to put each other to death.

"I can keep his life alive, but he must leave Autumnwater City." Luo Xizheng let go of the hand that was shackling her jaw, and put it directly on her waist, and the words attached to her ear seemed to whisper and seduce, "But...... Why should I keep him? ”

Luo Liyao was stunned, and her whole body stiffened.

yes, why did he agree to leave Luo Yuanjing alive?

If Luo Yuanjing's status is swapped with him, will he have a chance to survive? According to Luo Yuanjing's violent temper, naturally there is none.

So why did he have to spare Luo Yuanjing's life when he was at a disadvantage?

It is impossible for Luo Yuanjing to be truly subordinate to Luo Xizheng, so Luo Xizheng left him with a thorn in his eye, which did all kinds of harm but no benefit.

Since leaving Luo Yuanjing was not beneficial to him at all, why did he want to keep Luo Yuanjing alive?

"You...... Promised me. Luo Liyao couldn't think of any reason to convince him, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "You ......"

"I promised you that I would do it...... It's just that I also want to take the opportunity to benefit myself. Luo Xizheng's tone rose when he said this, as if he was not an emperor who was facing a rebellion against his brothers, but a son-in-law who was watching a play.

"What?" Luo Liyao could finally turn her head sideways to look at him, with undisguised surprise on her face, "Me? What benefits can I give you? ”

"In the past, there was only one Wu Yan in Qingyun Palace, but now she has passed away." Luo Xizheng glanced at Luo Yuanjing, who had gradually declined, and met her more puzzled eyes, "There will be a minister's advice soon-persuade me to start preparing for the draft after my father's funeral." ”

"After today, there are only nine days left for my father's funeral." Luo Liyao blinked, as if she had thought of the "benefits" he was talking about.

Tianqi's imperial mourning period is not long, although the world recognized that the national funeral should be three years, but it is obviously unrealistic to let the noble families and people of the country not marry for three years and not be able to hold a large banquet, so the royal family takes the day as the month, only serves the mourning for 36 days, and the people are halved to 18 days.

"I don't want to release people to the harem yet." Luo Xizheng also blinked like her, "So ......"

"Help you cope with the past?" Luo Liyao instantly understood what he meant.

"Yao'er is so smart, there must be a way, right?" Luo Xizheng smiled.

Luo Liyao: "......"

Luo Liyao: "More than this, I want to know—"

"Huh?"

"Can I turn back?"

Although Luo Xizheng had not forcibly faced her in front of the spirit position as before, he still stopped her in time every time she wanted to turn back.

"You still don't want to look back." Luo Xizheng still did not let go.

Luo Liyao was speechless, only listening to Luo Yuanjing's angry voice getting closer and closer and more out of control.

"Is the second brother already here?" Luo Liyao exhaled softly, forcing herself to calm down.

"Here we are." Luo Xizheng replied to her, "He is with Luo Yuanjing now, and he is persuading him." ”

"Can you persuade you?"

"I can't persuade him, but at least it won't make Luo Yuanjing completely lose his mind." Luo Xizheng half-forcibly pressed her on the soft futon in front of the worship, "Yao'er, you are here, don't look back." ”

Luo Liyao: "? ”

Luo Liyao was very puzzled: "Why? ”

"Obedient." Luo Xizheng patted her head and said to the side, "You are here to protect the princess." ”

Luo Liyao also wanted to look sideways when she heard this, but was held down by Luo Xizheng: "Be obedient, otherwise I promised you something...... I might regret it? ”

This is a naked threat to her.

Luo Liyao snorted lightly, but she also lowered her eyes obediently, and obediently did not look back.

Luo Xizheng seemed to have gone away, but there were still people staring at her behind her.

Luo Liyao clasped her hands together and silently closed her eyes at the ancestral spirit positions in front of her.

"Luo Xizheng! That's what you're prepared for? Luo Yuanjing was steadily grabbed by Meng Yan and Qi Guanxiu with one hand, glanced at the long sword he had dropped to the ground with hatred, and shouted at Luo Xizheng who was slowly walking towards him, "In the end, you still have to be a woman to blackmail in order to keep your throne?" ”

"Your Highness." Qi Guanxiu reminded Luo Yuanjing softly, signaling him not to say more.

Meng Yan was stunned, and quietly glanced at the figure on the Temple of Heaven not far away, with his back to everyone.

"Big brother......" Luo Yinghua turned to Luo Xizheng's still calm eyes, and her heart was even more bottomless - Luo Yuanjing thought that Luo Xizheng was threatening Luo Liyao's life, and Luo Liyao was not with him at this time, which seemed to confirm this.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Luo Yinghua suddenly had such a sentence in her heart.

Originally, it was used in Shen Chushun's "Treatise on the State" to describe the barbarians who were fierce and murderous, and had no humanity at all, and advocated that they should be exterminated instead of coexisting peacefully, because they were a group of "fierce beasts" who did not know why the etiquette and law were incorruptible, and not the "human beings" in the five countries, so "if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different." ①

Although the relationship between Luo Xizheng and Luo Liyao seems to be very good, he is not the same mother as them after all, and he has no love for growing up together since childhood - when Luo Xizheng entered the palace, he was such a cold and alienated appearance that rejected people thousands of miles away, and he would turn a blind eye to everything, and he had almost no intersection with them.

It can be said that in addition to knowing that he is not liked by his father and has a cold personality, they can be said to know nothing about Luo Xizheng.

So even if Luo Liyao had already chosen to believe that Luo Xizheng would leave Luo Yuanjing alive, Luo Yinghua still had half doubts in her heart.

Luo Xizheng waved his hand directly at him, signaling that he didn't need to say more.

"Luo Xizheng! You villain! Luo Yuanjing still had the look of anger that wanted to cut him with a thousand knives, he struggled to break free from the shackles of Meng Yan and Qi Guanxiu, but it was already the end of the crossbow, and the long sword in his hand had been confiscated.

"Since I was a child, you still scolded people like this, and there was nothing new at all." Luo Xizheng shook his head helplessly, stood still a few steps in front of him, looked around at the people who had just come out of the chaos, and said with a smile, "And even doing things is still so straightforward, I don't know how to ......be flexible."

"What exactly do you want to say? You villain! You ......"

Luo Yuanjing didn't finish speaking, but Luo Xizheng grabbed his collar.

He had never seen Luo Xizheng's eyes, that kind of ...... It was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly saw the eyes of food after it came out of the cage.

Luo Yuanjing went to the battlefield, and he was also frightened by the fierceness and ferocity in his eyes for a while.

However, it was only for a moment, and even the masked faces and Qi Guanxiu on both sides of Luo Yuanjing did not see it clearly.

"Actually...... I really had a little expectation of you before......" Luo Xizheng whispered in his ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You can repel the fierce attack of the Dongyi people on the battlefield, but you can't carry out a perfect rebellion - you say, do you deserve to be my subordinate?" ”

"You're ......!"

"In terms of correctly understanding your own strength, you are even far inferior to Yinghua." Luo Xizheng was unhurried, and even wanted to stick another knife in his heart, "Just because you are such a person and such a stupid choice...... Do you know what price they paid to keep you? ”

"You? How dare you...... How dare you——! Luo Yuanjing suddenly burst out, Meng Yan and Qi Guan Xiu were caught off guard, and he suddenly broke free, grabbed Luo Xizheng's neck with his backhand, and kept repeating these words in his mouth, "You dare to ...... How dare you...... You ——! ”

It's not that he can't finish speaking, but he was shocked by Luo Xizheng's actions and couldn't speak.

Qi Guanxiu heard a slight "click", frowned, and made a straight face, without saying anything.

Meng Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Luo Yuanjing's eyes widened in shock again.

Because Luo Xizheng reached out and grabbed his hand around his neck, it seemed to be a casual pinch, but he was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.

Although Luo Yuanjing was injured a little, his martial arts were not affected much - his martial arts could come and go freely on the Dongyi battlefield...... But Luo Yuanjing, who was so strong in force, was countered so easily by Luo Xizheng.

If you are not afraid that the enemy is incomparably strong, you are afraid that the enemy will not be revealed.

Obviously, for Luo Yuanjing, Luo Xizheng is such a hidden enemy.

"Kill all the people he brought." Luo Xizheng tilted his face slightly, turned his gaze to Qi Guanxiu, and wrote lightly, "Then clean up the blood stains as soon as possible - I don't want her to see too much blood." ”

Qi Guanxiu was stunned for a moment, and without exchanging glances with Meng Yan, he saluted Luo Xizheng and turned around to give the order.
