The three of them chatted about the past with each other, and it was dawn when a few pots of wine bottomed out. Li Chengqian didn't eat either, and left the Hou Mansion staggeringly.

After Cai Cong washed up, he went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of porridge, squatted at the door of the kitchen and drank it in a big gulp, which frightened everyone in the kitchen, when did Master Hou squat in this kind of place and eat?

It didn't take long for Chu Yao to walk briskly, and when she saw her brother not only squatting and drinking porridge, but also a bowl of pickles on the ground, she felt like she was going crazy.

"Brother, why are you squatting here and eating?"

Chu Yao walked over and asked with a wrinkled nose, Cai Cong looked at Chu Yao fixedly, drank all the porridge in the bowl with a snort, and said to Chu Yao: "Brother squatted here and thought about the problem, the smell is a little unpleasant, but his brain is much clearer." ”

"What do you think? Don't look for a place where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, look for this smelly place. Chu Yao covered her nose and stood a little farther away, she really couldn't stand the smell of being pampered.

"Me! Thinking about sacrificing one person's happiness to save another person's life is not worth it. ”

Cai Cong got up and walked towards Chu Yao, he couldn't stand the smell now, Chu Yao didn't think about it and said: "Then it depends on what the relationship between the two is, and it also depends on whether that person is willing, no one is qualified to sacrifice others to fulfill himself, this is what you said, I think the reason is universal." ”

"What if that person is an elder who has watched her grow up? Excellent for her. Cai Cong walked in front and said in a daze, his eyes full of struggle.

"Then you must save it! There is a way to be filial piety first, happiness is something to be fought for, whether you can win it is one thing, but saving people can not be delayed. ”

Chu Yao walked behind and said innocently, but she already had a feeling of uncertainty in her heart, she had never talked to her about such a topic since she was a child.

Cai Congmeng turned to look at her and asked, "You are not young anymore, do you have someone you like now?" ”

Chu Yao's face immediately turned red, rubbing her skirt and whispering, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" People are still young and don't want to get married. ”

"If that brother is in charge and marries you to Li Chengqian, are you willing?" Cai Cong didn't dare to look at Chu Yao, and in the end, he still couldn't let his sister marry freely.

"Do you have to get married? I treat him as an older brother, and I have never been involved in the love of men and women. ”

Chu Yao's eyes were already red, and he asked Cai Cong in a trembling voice. The morning sun was warm, but her heart was more frightened than ever.

"If you marry, you can save the queen's mother, the mother is now in danger, only if you marry can you fight for a glimmer of life. If you don't want to get married, forget all the things your brother said to you today, and don't mention it to anyone in this life, remember that it's anyone. My brother is also confused about what to do, so it's up to you to decide for yourself. ”

Cai Cong had already thought of a solution when he came out of the palace, but this solution made him very uncomfortable.

"How so...... What happened to the mother? Did the three of you drink all night last night because of something wrong with your mother? ”

Chu Yao asked anxiously, she was unprecedentedly frightened, and she wanted to refuse to marry when she opened her mouth, but thinking of the queen's kindness to herself, she couldn't say anything.

"If there is no change, Niangniang will not live this year, God wants Niangniang to die, she has broken a hand, and she has narrowly escaped death many times. This matter is too complicated, to put it simply, letting Niangniang personally officiate the wedding for you and Chengqian is the first step, and countless things need to be done to make Niangniang live for a long time. I haven't mentioned it to anyone, so it's okay if you don't agree, and no one will accuse you. ”

Cai Cong said very calmly, but his heart was full of guilt, he knew best what kind of person his sister was, no one accused her, and she would suffer from her heart.

"I ...... I don't know what to do. Brother, what should I do? I don't want to get married, but I don't want my mother to die. ”

Chu Yao asked Cai Cong with tears in her eyes, she didn't know what was wrong, she was obviously here to see her brother, why did she suddenly have to make such a difficult choice?

"Brother doesn't want to embarrass you, but you have to make a choice, time waits for no one."

Cai Cong said bitterly, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, you always have to make a decision.

"Is there really no other way?"

Chu Yao asked strugglingly, she had been looking forward to beautiful love, but now it was all about to be shattered.

"The world is safe and perfect? If there is a way, why is my brother so embarrassed? ”

Cai Cong said bitterly, in his opinion, the palace is a cemetery, and entering the palace is full of intrigue, even if you don't want to provoke right and wrong, you will be involved in right and wrong, that is where a good girl should stay.

"I, I do, I can't watch my mother have an accident."

Chu Yao said with a crying voice, she didn't know what was going on, but if she wanted her to watch the queen mother have an accident, she couldn't do it.

"Then you follow me into the palace to see the queen mother, tell the mother about this method, and let the mother give up the idea of suicide."

Cai Cong reluctantly showed a smile and said to Chu Yao, Chu Yao raised her head and looked at her brother in surprise, she really couldn't imagine that someone as powerful as the queen mother would have the idea of committing suicide.

The brother and sister hurriedly entered the palace, and there were still people near the Lizheng Hall who were killed by the cane, this time Li Shimin watched outside the Lizheng Palace, Chu Yao was startled when she saw so many people being killed by the cane, she even saw that two concubines were being stripped of their clothes and were also being tortured, that was a more favored concubine!

"Don't think about it at this time, what are you bringing Yaoyao for? What if you scare her? Hurry back. ”

Li Shimin angrily scolded Cai Cong, he was already anxious at this time, and Cai Cong also brought Chu Yao to add chaos.

"The minister has already found a way, so the minister brought Yaoyao to invite the queen mother and the prince to marry Yaoyao, and ask the mother to preside over the wedding in person."

Cai Cong looked at Li Shimin with a 'smile' on his face, Li Lao Er glanced at Chu Yao in surprise, he quickly caught the most critical eye, it was not Chu Yao and Li Chengqian who wanted to get married, but the queen gave the marriage and personally presided over the wedding.

"You said that Yaoyao and Chengqian can save their mother if they get married?"

"This is just the first step, no matter how many things have changed before the minister and His Majesty, it has nothing to do with Niangniang, so the minister thinks he should try to change the trajectory of Niangniang's life, didn't the ministry say that there are floods in the two lakes area? After the mother organizes the wedding for the two of them, they can go to the two lakes for disaster relief in person, what do you think? ”

Li Shimin pulled Cai Cong into the corner and asked in a whisper, Cai Cong also said his guess, if two people with different fates collided together, maybe they could save the eldest grandson.

"There's no other way to do it now, just let it go!" Li Shimin was also helpless, looking at his eldest grandson like this every day, he was anxious. Since Cai Cong has a way, he can only let him do it.

The two of them took off the ornaments on their bodies and walked into the Lizheng Palace, Chu Yao only felt that he had walked into a world of separation, and the dignified Lizheng Hall had actually become like this, there was cotton cloth everywhere, not to mention trees, and not even a single grass could be seen.
