The next afternoon.

As soon as Li Zhi woke up, he felt that his whole body was weak and weak, he opened his eyes, looked at the top of the hall for a while, and then called out in a voice: "Mei Niang......"

Qinghe, who was watching him napping on the side, immediately jumped up, ran to the couch to take a look, and then turned his head and called out: "Go and invite Niangniang!" Go and please the mother! ”

Not long after, Mei Niang came in a hurry, stepped forward to shake his hand, sat on the edge of the couch, bent down with a smile, reached out and gently stroked his hair: "Is Zhilang okay?" ”

"It's okay...... It's a little better than the other day......"

Li Zhi smiled slightly, with a hint of tiredness under some blue eye sockets. Mei Niang felt heartbroken, but she couldn't say anything, just smiled again: "That's good...... Yesterday, Hong'er asked Mei Niang, can she come to see her father again! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, his ink-like eyes only stared at Mei Niang for a while, and then he patted the back of her hand lightly with some guilt: "These days, it's really hard for you." ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes, but shook her head and said nothing, just lay down slowly, beside him, lying in her clothes, letting the back of his hand slowly rub her cheeks.

“…… Let's let him grind a little more! ”

Li Zhi finally opened his mouth, and slowly opened his mouth: "Over the years, he has followed me, and he has always been too lazy to become a man, and he has not been too lazy to forget himself, he was originally the prince of the Tang Dynasty." It's time for him to remember it. ”

Mei Niang's eyes were red, but she smiled for a while: "Jiro, he's still young." How can a small thing with baby teeth remember its responsibilities? ”

Li Zhi shook his head with a smile, looked at the top of the hall, and said lightly for a while: "I didn't want to...... But right now, in such a situation, my body is very good. To settle the situation, you also need someone to help. Who else is more suitable than him, and who will not have their own selfishness and goals? ”

Mei Niang didn't speak, just silently leaned her ears on his chest, listening to his weak heartbeat, but finally calm and full of heartbeat.

Slowly, my heart settled down. The tiredness that had accumulated over the past few days came up in an instant.

"Jiro ......"

Muttering like a dream, she read his name.

"If you want to sleep, just sleep...... I'll be with you. ”

Li Zhi smiled, stretched out his hand and put her face in front of his shoulder, and moved it even more, and then suddenly he felt that he could laugh too-

Once upon a time, how much he hated this feeling of powerlessness. Can ...... now Later...... I'm afraid he's going to get used to this feeling of powerlessness.

Thankfully, it's still in time.

He told himself softly.

It's still too late.

Mei Niang hummed, and fell asleep with peace of mind, and the subtle and soft breath became calm and stable slowly, slowly. Li Zhi felt such stability, but his heart couldn't help but feel slightly sour-

If one day, she will no longer be able to rely on herself like this......

Until then...... How could she sleep so peacefully?

It's night.

Li Zhi woke up again.

This time, Mei Niang was not around. Empty, he panicked for no reason.

After trying, he tried to sit up, but he was so shocked that he was lying on the couch on one side, lying down in his clothes, in order to prepare for Qinghe, who was waiting, to jump up, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Lord! How can the Lord be ......?"

"It doesn't matter."

Shaking his hand, Li Zhi gasped heavily, closed his eyes, and let the feeling of detachment caused by excessive force flow from his body for a while, before he opened his eyes and looked at the front hall of his eyes: "Mei Niang......"

"Niangniang is still in the front hall...... The Lord is going to invite the mother......"

"No, I don't have to...... Just take a look. ”

Li Zhi closed his eyes again, rested for a while, and said softly.

Qinghe looked at Li Zhi's disgraced face, opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated, finally sighed and put on his clothes, helped him, and slowly walked to the front hall.

Li Zhi stopped in the shadow of His Royal Highness, looked up, and looked at Mei Niang, who was sitting on a phoenix throne, wearing plain clothes, her hair in a bun and pulling it casually, and her eyes calmly reviewed the sparse Mei Niang.

In a trance, he seemed to see the sister Wu who was sitting in the library pavilion and reading the scriptures with him. Stupidly, stupidly looking at Mei Niang like this, for a long time, he hooked the corners of his lips slightly, endured a breath that he wanted to spit out, waved his hand, and motioned for Qinghe to help him back to the hall.

After sitting back on the couch and resting for a long time, Li Zhi rubbed his head, half-sat up straight, and beckoned Qinghe to come forward: "You passed on my words, and you found an opportunity tomorrow to go to Huaiying to enter the palace to see me." Remember, be careful in this matter and don't teach the mother to know. Don't even teach your uncle to know. ”

Qinghe was stunned: "Master Di? But Lord, you ...... now"

"Go."

Li Zhi closed his eyes and said a word, but his expression was so calm that Qinghe's heart trembled, and he immediately claimed that it was, turned around and walked out to arrange.

After a short time, he came back and saluted Li Zhi: "Lord, it has been arranged." The news spread outside the palace. ”

"Okay, there's one more thing."

Li Zhi was relieved again, and nodded: "Chuande Award, tomorrow afternoon, I will also come to see me." But to stagger the timing with Huaiying. ”

"Yes."

"Uncle has been messing around with handwriting for the past two days?"

Li Zhi paused, smoothed out, and then asked.

"The lord has instructed Ouyang Tong before, no matter what, the master's handwriting comes first, he just wants to say that the mother is not, and there is nowhere to say. Uncle Yuan seemed to have noticed it, so he didn't look for Ouyang Tong at all. but they are looking for someone else. ”

"As long as you don't look for Ouyang Tong, no matter who your uncle looks for, it's useless. People in the world only recognize Ouyang Tong. can only Ouyang Tong, who can prove that Mei Niang has been criticized. However, there are a few mouths in the Taiji Hall that are not tight. You can dispose of it. ”

Qinghe heard the voice, but was silent, and said for a while: "Niangniang...... It has been disposed of. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes were shining: "When?" How to dispose of it? ”

Qinghe responded, and then said carefully: "In the second half of yesterday night, the Yu sisters went to the apse to find Qinghe according to Niangniang's order. Qinghe thought about it, and it was not unreasonable for Niangniang to be worried, so he searched out all those people and handed them over to the two sisters. According to Minghe's words......"

He hesitated for a moment before he said lightly: "At this time, I am afraid that those people have already been buried in the wild fox fall." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay." That's it. ”

Qinghe was puzzled: "But Lord, you said before that these people were kept to reassure Uncle Yuan." Now the mother is doing this ......"

"When she does this, her uncle and they must follow suit. That's why I said, you must arrange for Di Li and the others to enter the palace tomorrow. Also, next, we must also keep an eye on the movements in the British government. ”

Qinghe blinked: "Is the Lord worried that the British Duke will also come to the detriment of Niangniang?" ”

"He won't ...... Because in his eyes, Mei Niang is just a good queen. But if he finds out, or makes him believe, Mei Niang really did something that the queen shouldn't do...... Then even if it is my bidding. He will also resolutely make enemies of Mei Niang. That's why I need you to keep an eye on him. Don't let your uncle have a chance and incite him. ”

Li Zhipao paused: "Now that I am in such a situation, Mei Niang's mother and son are facing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and it can be said that there is no help at all. It's already extremely difficult. If there is another originally neutral British duke at this time. I'm afraid she will really be unable to move an inch. You have to arrange it well. ”

Qinghe nodded yes, seeing that Li Zhi was tired, he couldn't help but come anxiously again.

Li Zhi didn't insist anymore, and after a sigh, he took off his coat, lay down slowly, and suddenly smiled for a while: "Qinghe." Yesterday, I promised Mei Niang a big event. ”

"Big deal?"

"That's right...... In my dreams, I vaguely remember that I had answered her, and I wanted to be by her side for the rest of my life, so that she could sleep peacefully...... Such a big promise. I can even give my mouth. It's really crazy. ”

Li Zhi said with a smile.

Qinghe was sad when he heard it, and only smiled after a while: "Then the lord is afraid that he will see him!" Qinghe always hears the master say that what this person says will definitely come true! ”

“…… I hope so...... I really can't live without her now......"

The last sentence slowly disappeared into the air, and the hall fell silent.

Qinghe looked at Li Zhi, who was sleeping on the couch in a daze, with picturesque eyebrows, suddenly inexplicably got up, jumped up, and went to tremble to probe Li Zhi's snort, and then exhaled a long breath, sat down on the ground, and unconsciously, burst into tears:

OK......

OK.

It's still there.

He's still here.
