De'an looked at Li Zhi with a breathless atmosphere.

But his expression has always been calm, even silent.

He suddenly didn't understand, looked at Li Zhi blankly, and didn't speak for a while.

After a while, Mei Niang's voice sounded:

"It turns out that Uncle Yuan came prepared today...... You are going to hand over the burden of guarding the Tang Dynasty to the palace in advance...... Really?

It's just that...... Are you worried that after getting this power, the palace will change its mind, or become a true demon queen who will bring disaster to the country and the people, or if the heroines of Dongying Silla are the same, this Tang Dynasty will guard it, and it will become its own, breaking the blood of the Li family......

Therefore, it is necessary to add the name of a demon queen to the palace first, and let the palace recognize it.

In this way, if the nature of this palace is lost in the future, then there will be people from all over the world to crusade against this palace. If one day the Japanese palace breaks off the Li family's bloodline, the Tang Dynasty will change hands...... Then this palace naturally cares about its reputation, and naturally it will try to continue this Li Tang lineage in the future......

You want to add a knife to the head of the palace to protect the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the bloodline of the Li family...... Uncle Yuan, this palace never knew that you really looked at this palace like this. ”

"Niangniang, if you are a sister, then the old man will not worry. Because the old man knows that she has never had such an agitated heart since she was a child, and she doesn't care about the words of the people in the world-

Her temperament is the most indifferent and indisputable, so as long as others don't hurt what she cares about, then she doesn't care about the rest.

But you're different.

You and your sister have the same talent and wisdom, but you are also agitated by nature, and you care very much about the reputation of the Lord. So if there is such a day, you will get to that point.

So...... The old man is a despicable villain, the old man wants to take care of his nephew from childhood to adulthood, and he will risk his life to guard the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime, and impose this guarantee on you......

If you do do this in the future, someone will be able to pull you back to make a promise......"

“…… You don't care that Jiro knows? ”

"What if the Lord knows?

Even in terms of wisdom and strategy, the old man is not as good as the master.

But if the old man took out everything and made this big gamble with him and you...... Who will win?

If the old man can sacrifice the lives and reputation of countless people in his own surname and his beloved family, he will accept the constraints pressed by the old man for the sake of the lord, for the sake of His Royal Highness the prince and the princes, and for the little demons in your nature that you are not sure about......

The gambler will make this constraint in order to get the final support of the old man......

Who wins and who loses...... Can't you think of it? ”

Dean held his breath and looked at Li Zhi in shock.

Li Zhi's gaze was still firm, but it was already a little wet.

"Uncle Yuan is going to tell this palace...... If you think about it for the sake of Hongu in the future, Jiro will watch you persecute Hongu like this? ”

"The Lord has a long life, although the Lord and the old man do not want it more than the mother...... But it has become an established reality, so it is inevitable, for the sake of Niangniang herself, and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and several His Royal Highnesses, Niangniang will one day take charge of the Tang Dynasty and become a person who shares the burden side by side with the Lord, which is a certain situation.

But when that day comes, everything that Niangniang will face and the mood that she will react to can also be imagined. Therefore, for the sake of the mother, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and several highnesses, the old man must put forward such constraints......

Although the Lord doesn't seem to think like this, the Lord also knows very well that as long as the old man refuses to retreat for a day, then the mother will not be able to really stand on the court for a day.

He tried all kinds of scheming and scheming to abolish the harem concubine system, so that you could only turn your eyes to the previous dynasty; Or is it all the training and effort that you have always done to see you as a real assistant to the government......

That's all useless.

So no matter how much he doesn't want you to have this reputation, he has to let you make this choice yourself-

It is to continue to go on, to keep the happiness of him and you, as well as the happiness of him and your children, the well-being of the entire Tang Dynasty...... At the cost of being destined to bear a bad name.

Or do you want to waste this last opportunity in vain, sacrifice the old man and Yu Suiliang in vain, and you will be destined to be the last little thing that the name of the demon queen on your back can do in exchange for the momentary speed that the Lord wants......

The choice is yours, so it's up to you to decide. ”

…… Dean had almost forgotten to breathe, and could only listen quietly.

Li Zhi lowered his eyes, and the teacup he was holding in his hand had already made a slight "creaking" sound.

Silence, long silence.

It seems that tens of millions of years have passed, and it seems to be just a moment, Mei Niang's voice sounded faintly again:

"Jiro......

Wouldn't like me to take the first path. ”

"Yes."

"But...... I chose the second path, and now I ...... Nor will it be happy. It's not because I really think that I can become an auxiliary in the future...... It's because I know that Jiro doesn't want to see his loved ones die. ”

“…… Be. ”

"You forced it, it's not me, it's Jiro."

“………… Be. ”

"He knows and will hate you for a long, long time."

“……”

"But you still have to do it. Because it's exactly what you say...... Whether you and Sushira die or not is not only about my reputation, but also about Jiro's heart.

So from the very beginning, you know, I was going to choose notoriety...... Because for the sake of Jiro, you know that I will not be willing to let Yu Suiliang die, and I am not willing to let you, my own maternal uncle, who grew up caring for him, die tragically. ”

“……”

"So you're really cunning...... is worthy of the eldest grandson Wuji, he is really cunning...... Even you know that if you do this in secret and never tell me about it, then I can say that I have a reason to resent you in the future......

But you are so scheming that I can't resent. It seems that all the decision-making rights have been handed over to me, but in fact, they have already made a decision for me.

I...... There is no choice. Really? ”

This sentence, the eldest grandson Wuji did not answer.

At the same time, it was also the last sentence that Li Zhi and De'an heard in this hut.

……

It's night.

Luoyang Palace, the Palace of Eternal Life.

Li Zhi didn't come today, because Mei Niang sent a message that she wanted to stay with the children for a good night, and asked him to rest under His Royal Highness Zhenguan.

If it was in normal times, Li Zhi would naturally refuse to follow. It's not to use all kinds of petty temperaments, and to devise all kinds of methods to make Lai not leave; It is to rely on it openly and not to leave.

But today, Li Zhi didn't come, and he didn't have any objections, he just passed the word from De'an, telling her to rest for a long time.

And what about Dean......

I didn't have time to pass the word back.

Because he was kept by Mei Niang, she said that she had something to say to him.

In this way, in the side hall of the Hall of Eternal Life, she sat on the circle chair behind the desk, and he stood in front of him, facing each other, but did not look at each other.

After a while, Mei Niang suddenly spoke:

"What Ah Luo did this time, in fact, this palace is very disgusted, and even some want to dispose of him."

Dean was silent, and only listened to Mei Niang continue:

"Because Bengong knows that the reason why he wants Minghe to pass on to Bengu and not others...... It's because I know that this palace will hide this news for the sake of Jiro's nephew and uncle not to make a big fuss, and only wait until I think clearly in the future to show Jiro Wanyan. In this way, no matter how reluctant Jiro is to say what comes out of the mouth of this palace, he will believe it more or less and be willing to forgive Uncle Yuan.

But if these words come out of the mouth of Minghe......

He will redouble his resentment towards Uncle Yuan, and even the idea of belittling Uncle Yuan is uncertain......

No matter what Uncle Yuan's intentions were, he would hate Uncle Yuan for trying to make his beloved woman suffer from such infamy.

And Arrow and Shen Shu ......"

Mei Niang glanced at De'an, and said after a while:

"It's because I fancy the upright character of Minghe who is only willing to think about Hongu and Jiro everywhere, and I know that Minghe is not Ryan after all, or you...... With such a high vision, you can see who is at stake in this matter......

That's why I handed it over to him, De'an, don't you say? ”

Dean was silent, and then said lightly:

"Dean is ignorant, I really don't understand."

Mei Niang looked at him for a while, closed her eyes as if she was extremely tired, and said after a while:

"That's it...... If you don't understand, it's not necessarily a bad thing. That's it...... There's just one thing you need to tell Hongu honestly......

It's afternoon today, Jiro is in the palace and hasn't gone anywhere, right? ”

De'an sank slightly, but his face was silent:

"It is true that the Lord is not going anywhere today...... What does this mean? But is there anything Dean would do well not to know? If so......"

"Nope."

Mei Niang interrupted him gently, looked directly at his face, and repeated it again after a while:

"Nope."

Dean kept his mouth shut.

After a while, Mei Niang suddenly asked again:

"Speaking of Ah Luo and Shen Shu...... It's also time. You can find a chance to mention the two of them! I'm just afraid that Uncle Yuan or His Royal Highness King Han will ......

If the two brothers have been deliberately concealing it and keeping a low profile, not showing the slightest trace, and not doing anything, it would be fine. If they start moving......

Then sooner or later, it will be seen through.

It's time to take it. ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes and sighed:

"Don't wait until you're ruined and don't know why...... It's a pity. ”

De Anxin tightened again, and after a while, he finally bowed his head:

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Mei Niang didn't say much, just waved her hand tiredly, signaling that he could leave.

And then......

She returned to the couch and stared blankly at the two children who had to come over and sleep with the queen mother when she heard that Li Zhi was not coming tonight, and then smiled sadly, and also fell down with her clothes, hugged the two children, patted them gently, and muttered in her mouth:

"I'm sorry...... My two darlings...... It seems that the queen mother is destined to bring this notoriety...... Don't blame the queen mother, okay? ”

The child was speechless, just asleep.
