That night, the Taiji Palace, which was responsible for guarding the security of the area between the palace and the imperial city, suddenly caught fire in the lower guard courtyard where the Jin Wuwei stayed and patrolled the deacon in the palace on weekdays.

The water in the palace was a big matter, and everyone was surprised, but for some reason, there was no one to direct the fire, and several other colleagues who belonged to Jin Wuwei and Yinyi Wei in this courtyard were also stunned for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until someone shouted to put out the fire that it would set fire to the other houses, that they began to scramble to find something to fetch water in an attempt to extinguish the flames.

But the strange thing is that no matter how hard they tried, in the end, the lower bathroom was burned to the ground. It's just fortunate that because it's independent and not involved with other courtyards, it has become the biggest reason for the preservation of this lower courtyard for a while.

……

But no one cares about that.

At least Li Zhi in the Taiji Palace, and everyone around him, will not.

When Mei Niang entered the palace, it was already three o'clock.

In plain life, Mei Niang is categorically rare to see such a Li Zhi:

His black hair was unkempt, his golden crown was scattered, and he was still like a child, hiding in the shadows where no one thought he would go.

Such a Li Zhi, from the moment he ascended to the storage position, he lost his ......

After such a long time, Mei Niang always thought that he had forgotten such emotions, and the original soft and warm heart should have been lost with the decision of killing over the years......

Unexpected, really unexpected.

He remembered.

Some tears appeared in her eyes, and Mei Niang sat down beside Li Zhi gently, reaching out to hug him tightly.

Because of his height, she had always had to put her whole face on his shoulder on tiptoe.

But today......

Mei Niang looked at the man who put his head on her shoulder, and couldn't help but sobbed slightly:

Today......

Even though he is still superior to her, he needs to bury his whole face in her arms and not teach anyone to see him cry bitterly......

Isn't that him?

……

For a long, long time.

It was so long that Mei Niang thought that Li Zhi was already like a child, crying tired and asleep, but a male voice with a heavy nasal voice suddenly came from her shoulder:

"When I was a child, the fourth brother loved me the most."

Mei Niang's gaze relaxed, and her eyes were slightly hot, and then she nodded lightly and said:

"Hmm...... I know that His Royal Highness Qingque has indeed always loved the young slave the most. ”

Childish slaves.

These two words that have not been heard for a long time sound so strange and familiar to Li Zhi.

After a long time, he raised his head slightly, looked at Mei Niang and said:

"yes......

The fourth brother is indeed the most fond of the childish slave.

I have been raised by my father's side since I was a child, and my father taught me that I was always not as gentle as my mother.

Therefore, every time, I always pestered the fourth brother to ask for the queen mother......"

Li Zhi's eyes were red again, and he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes:

"I was really young then, wasn't I?

I don't understand, compared with the ignorant and ignorant me, the fourth brother, who is already mentally brilliant and calm, is even more painful......

Because I didn't understand it at the time, I didn't know what it meant for the queen mother to leave......

And he's different.

He already knows that in the future, our three brothers will no longer have their mothers to accompany them, nor will they have their mother's protection when they are in danger......"

Li Zhi pursed his lips and smiled and wept:

"But the fourth brother still told me......

The fourth brother said......

As long as he lives for a day, then I will definitely not be without pain.

When the queen mother was away, he gave me the love of the queen mother......

And that's exactly what he did. ”

Li Zhi said as he watched Mei Niang's tear-wet face slowly cry:

"No matter what is delicious, fun, or useful...... He is the first to think of me, that is, the eldest brother Chengqian, sometimes pestering people on official business, when there is something unexpected about me, he will definitely try to remind the eldest brother in every way, and make up for it afterwards......"

Thinking about this, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile lightly:

"Speaking of which, during the years that the eldest brother was here, he never forgot my birthday, but I'm afraid it's because the fourth brother will try his best every year to ask him to celebrate my birthday?"

Li Zhi's gaze gradually became sad:

"Later...... Then he had that mind...... After the eldest brother was also deposed......

I thought he wouldn't treat me the way he used to......

In the end, the Tian family, where can they be as carefree as ordinary people outside, gentle and intimate?

Besides, I'm more or less a threat to him......"

Li Zhi shook his head, his eyes painful:

"But what I never expected was ......

He loved me more than I could have imagined......

I am even more reluctant to let me be wronged......

Mei Niang...... Mei Niang...... I want my fourth brother to come back......"

Li Zhi said as he hugged Mei Niang into his arms and cried bitterly.

Mei Niang didn't persuade him, but blindly let him cry in front of him, and his tears flowed more and more, more and more......

After a while, when she saw that he was crying a little tired, Mei Niang answered:

"Jiro...... No, Lord.

You want to cry for an old man, it's too late......

But if you don't get back to business now......

I'm afraid that I have to work hard for another old man who is still alive, but it is difficult to have a way to return to heaven. ”

Li Zhi stopped crying, glared at him, and suddenly jumped up:

"You mean...... Third brother?!

How can it be?!

How could he have known the ins and outs of this so quickly!? ”

Mei Niang saw that Li Zhi was in a hurry, but her heart was relieved, and she hurriedly got up and helped him and said:

"Don't worry, Jiro, it's not like that now, so don't worry."

Li Zhi was stunned, looked at Mei Niang, and gradually calmed down after a while, gritted his teeth, and forcibly endured the grief in his heart before saying:

"You're right......

Not bad......

It's far from the time to cry......"

His gaze gradually settled, and he turned his head to look around and said:

"What about Dean?

What about Ryan? ”

Mei Niang said softly:

"De'an doesn't know at the moment, but Ryan, don't worry, Jiro, I've already ordered him to clean up the eyes and ears in the inner court."

Li Zhi understood, turned his head to look at Mei Niang, and his eyes were grateful, sad, and guilty:

"Mei Niang...... You ......"

His gaze fell on Mei Niang's lower abdomen, but Mei Niang shook her head lightly and smiled:

"Mei Niang doesn't matter, as long as Jiro can get up and protect her as soon as possible......

Well, it's not too late. ”

Li Zhi looked at her and nodded silently.

……

It's past midnight.

In the Imperial Palace.

Mei Niang was pregnant, Li Zhi couldn't watch her work so hard, so he sent her back to sleep early.

And De'an, who also returned to the driver's side, carefully reported today's events:

"I've already asked it all.

His Royal Highness King Pu did follow Lord Li Feng to Junzhou, and it was indeed Lord Li Feng who watched him enter the mansion with his own eyes.

It's just that......

No one expected that His Royal Highness would have this intention a long time ago, and he had prepared clothes and horses in secret, and when Lord Li Feng turned back to the capital, he hid in his team and followed all the way back to the original path. ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth:

"Li Feng didn't notice it all the way?"

His Royal Highness just followed Lord Li Feng out of Junzhou, and then His Highness responded by servant Qinghe, turned around the waterway, and hurried back to Beijing from another shortcut road......

I don't know it. ”

Li Zhi gritted his teeth, his eyes red as blood:

"So where is Qinghe right now?"

"Back to the Lord, the mention of this matter makes people resentful!

After Na Qinghe returned to Beijing, he went straight to Uncle Yuan's mansion......

'M afraid...... Most of the time, he has stayed by His Royal Highness King Pu's side over the years, and it was actually arranged by Uncle Yuan! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his silver teeth were about to break, and in the end he could only squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth:

"Spread my secret decree and all the secret guards, but those who capture this fang, whether they live or die, need to be brought to me!

I want to use him to sacrifice the fourth brother with blood! ”

With a "bang", Li Zhi's fist slammed heavily on the case!
