As the sun sets, the sky is stained with a thin layer of red, and the sky in the distance is not dark, but has a bright blue.

"See the Emperor. Liang Rui knelt down on one knee in front of Wei Jingyao.

"You've come back just in time, and I have something to tell you. ”

Wei Jingyao put down the purple gold wolf pen in his hand, and went to the tea room next door with Liang Rui.

Although the layout of the tea room is small, it is better than the simple and elegant, behind the staggered Hunan bamboo curtain is a small table of yellow wood carving, and the official kiln gold-patterned lotus pot is placed on the east and west sides.

The smoker with silver and copper chisels and lotus petals bead pattern exudes curling cigarettes, and the whole tea room is full of smoke, which is quite meaningful.

"Sit down. Wei Jingyao lifted his robe and sat on the stool on the east side.

Liang Rui was stunned for a moment, stood in place, and looked at Wei Jingyao with a slightly puzzled gaze, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

"I told you to sit down, what so much nonsense. ”

Wei Jingyao picked up the wooden spoon, scooped the tea leaves into the bowl, and poured them with boiling hot water, and the whole tea room was full of fragrance.

Liang Rui sat opposite Wei Jingyao, silently watching him brew tea over and over again.

In fact, Liang Rui doesn't pay much attention to tea, it is just a tool to quench his thirst for him, and he is used to licking blood from the knife edge, and it is already a great gift to be able to drink tea.

The dark green tea is poured into the white and flawless white porcelain bowl, revealing a burst of fragrance.

"Taste it. Wei Jingyao put the tea to his mouth and took a sip gently, and suddenly felt clear and silent in his heart.

During this time, I was so busy that I didn't have time to sit down and drink tea quietly.

Liang Rui picked up the teacup and drank it all, with no superfluous look on his face.

"You've just wasted the good tea I made for you. Wei Jingyao smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know how to taste tea, but I can taste it, it's different from what I usually drink. Liang Rui said truthfully.

"Hahaha, with your words, my thoughts are not in vain. Wei Jingyao's eyebrows were like ink, and there was a warm smile on his face.

"Since you've drunk my tea, why don't you do me a favor?"

"Please ask the emperor to command. Liang Rui clenched his hands into fists.

Although he stayed by Wei Jingyao's side only because of Tian Hu's promise at the beginning, after a long time, Liang Rui was really impressed by Wei Jingyao.

"Don't be in a hurry to say yes yet, and then think about it after I'm done, because once you say yes, there's no turning back. Wei Jingyao's expression became much more serious.

Liang Rui frowned slightly, looking at Wei Jingyao with deep eyes.

"Jin Yuwei is a guard organization directly managed by the emperor and led by the emperor, and the position of Jin Yuwei is even more related to the safety of the palace and my life and death, are you willing to take on this position?"

Wei Jingyao's tone was shallow, and it seemed that he was just talking to the person in front of him about an inconsequential matter.

"I can protect the emperor's safety and protect the entire palace, but I don't want to be an official. Liang Rui's expression paused slightly, and finally shook his head.

"Why, can you tell me a reason?"

Wei Jingyao didn't force him, but chatted quietly like a friend.

"I ...... Can't do it. ”

Liang Rui has lived in the dark since he was a child, whether it is the hunger and cold when he was a child, and the humiliation he suffered, or the danger of licking blood from the knife after joining the Dragon Yin Gang.

The place where Liang Rui is located has always been the darkest corner of the world, and he is used to the darkness and adapts to the darkness.

So suddenly let him stand in the sun, and now in the golden palace, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Concubine Ying said that when you were in the Dragon Yin Gang, you were in charge of a large number of killers, and you should be familiar with this. Wei Jingyao smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Liang Rui was slightly stunned, did she mean all this?

"The armor of the Golden Feather Guard is too bright, and I am just a shadow hidden in the shadows. Liang Rui's eyes were dark.

"How do you know that a shadow can't become a human without trying, in the end, it's just a human heart. Wei Jingyao smiled indifferently.

"If you get used to the darkness, you will stay in the darkness forever, but once you enjoy the sun, you will be bathed in the sun for the rest of your life. ”

"But the shadow is worthy of hiding in a dark place where there is no sunlight, and if it is exposed, it is death. ”

This is Liang Rui's way of survival over the years, lying dormant in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to move.

So even if he likes Xie Fuyao, he has never said his thoughts, not because he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.

"Don't forget, there is no sunshine, there will be no shadow, it is based on sunlight to exist, why can't you choose to accept it now?"

Wei Jingyao's eyes were clear and clear, and he wanted to see through Liang Rui's thoughts.

"Has the emperor ever thought about it, if I fail, you and I can't afford this price. ”

Liang Rui's eyes were slightly deep, like jasper sinking at the bottom of the pool, out of reach.

"By bringing this matter up to you, I have already thought through all the outcomes. ”

Wei Jingyao knew that Liang Rui's heart had begun to waver, and he began to envision the result instead of blindly refusing.

"If you don't accept it, I'll have to choose one of their electees who is less threatening, but I'll still be under their control. Wei Jingyao continued.

"If you are willing to accept it, this palace will be under my control, even if you make a slight mistake, I can help you, the key is that you are willing to do it. ”

Liang Rui's heart was not moved, it was fake, he still remembered that when he was a child, his wish was to be a majestic leader.

But for him, who was born in a poor family, this dream is so unattainable.

At first, I thought that the person who bought me was a general in the barracks, but when I arrived, I realized that he was just a demon from hell.

He has been searching the village, looking for the children with Huigen to bring back to the Dragon's Gang, and then raise them to be emotionless killers.

I thought that after so much time, some things had been forgotten, but today he reappeared in his mind.

"You are Liang Rui, not Tianqi, since you have found your name, why don't you choose your life again......" Wei Jingyao said softly.

"Your Majesty. Liang Rui's eyes were sparkling, and his eyes became a little hot, "Weichen is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, and then die." ”

The corners of Wei Jingyao's mouth hooked slightly, maybe Liang Rui is really more suitable than A Ning, A Ning's simple mind is not suitable for the treacherous and changeable court.

Liang Rui has been in the Longyin Gang for many years, and he is used to seeing the sinister world and all kinds of life, and in this position, no one can shake him.

A-Ning, I hope that in the next life, you can be reincarnated into a rich and noble family and be an unrestrained son-in-law, so that we can become friends, not master and servant.
