Silently, safely, Li Zhi stood there quietly, quietly listening to her questioning.

He was speechless.

Mei Niang saw that he didn't reply, but she burst into tears, and it was difficult to stop: "It seems that ...... Jiro wasn't going to say anything for himself......"

“…… As I said, you don't have to worry about these things, and you don't have to worry about them. ”

After all, Li Zhi still made a sound, but his voice was as light as air and as cool as water.

Not cold.

Really, his voice, really not cold. All along, his voice will never be cold, always so gentle and moderate, so kind as ever.

But for some reason, this time, Mei Niang couldn't help but tremble all over her body - after hearing his voice, she couldn't help but tremble......

Because it was a voice she had never heard before.

It's so clear and almost cold.

She had never heard such a voice, Li Zhi.

After a long time, she slowly turned her head sideways and looked at Li Zhi, her eyes were already full of tears, her red lips moved, and she seemed to be crying and laughing: "...... Seemingly...... Jiro had already made up his mind. ”

Li Zhi was silent and no longer spoken.

Mei Niang looked at him, raised her eyebrows, smiled with tears, and continued to ask with a disappointed face: "So...... Has the will been made? ”

“…… In any case, it is a fact that he was involved in rebellion. Huaiying has already paid off this point, you can see it at a glance, and I don't need to say more. ”

After all, Mei Niang, who still couldn't face such a gaze, Li Zhi took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at her with pity, stretched out his hand, and wiped the tears on her face with his sleeve.

Mei Niang did not refuse his intimacy, but just opened her eyes and looked directly into his eyes, until she saw the deepest shadow, and then asked softly:

"Jiro, if there is someone in this world, there is such a person who can play people like Di Renjie like chess pieces in the palm of his hand...... Who will it be? ”

Li Zhi stopped looking at her, lowered his eyelids, and looked at the little snow lion sleeping on the embroidered blanket at his feet.

Mei Niang also followed him, slowly lowered her gaze, stared at the snow-colored fox stupidly, and after a while, she suddenly bent down and reached out to pick it up and put it in her arms and stroked it, and said softly:

"Yes, too...... It's Mei Niang who is too confused. I always forget that dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes...... After all, he is the son of the dragon species, so how docile and lovely he seems to be, how can he lack claws to defend himself? ”

Mei Niang shook her head, wept, sighed, and turned to walk towards the depths of the palace:

"It's me who is stupid...... It's me who is so stupid...... It's me......

It's silly......"

Li Zhi stood in place, staring blankly at her slightly staggering red-clothed figure, slowly, slowly sinking into the deep darkness, blending into the surroundings......

Never again.

Take a deep breath.

Li Zhi closed his eyes, opened them again, and called softly: "Minghe." ”

"What does the Lord command?"

Minghe took a step forward, looking at Li Zhi's somewhat solemn expression, for some reason, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, but it was not good to say more and do more.

As a subordinate, he can only say this one sentence.

Li Zhi didn't mean to look at him at all, but replied calmly:

"Spread my will, the queen mother has worked hard for many days, and her health is not safe, from now on, all outsiders in the Lizheng Palace, and all princes and princes who want to enter to ask for peace must be edicted by me. Anyone ......"

Li Zhi paused, and then said softly and firmly: "Anyone who intends to disturb the queen's recuperation will be dealt with by the palace law!" ”

Minghe's heart tightened - this ......

"Do you have to order it?"

“…… Get...... Order! ”

After hesitating for a moment, Minghe finally made the choice to believe in Li Zhi, and his eyes resolutely responded!

The fifth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a good time to be in Duanyang.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining, like the Taiji Palace of the Nine Heavens Wonderland, in front of the Taiji Palace, on the side of the Jinshui Bridge.

Di Renjie stood by the bridge, looking up at the huge plaque in the Taiji Hall, his eyes were full of confusion, full of puzzlement, full of confusion......

Why?

Why?

Why?

He was clear in his words and cautious in his words......

Why is there still such a will?

He looked ahead in a daze, and suddenly turned around and walked towards the Zuo Yanming Gate on the side.

But after a few steps he stopped again, letting the beads of sweat roll from his forehead and the cold of his vest: he forgot ......

The queen mother, as early as the day before yesterday, was grounded in disguise.

At this moment, the Lizheng Palace, don't say that he is a small young eunuch of Dali Temple. It is the biological son of the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, and without the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, he is not allowed to enter easily.

Why?

Why is this time in the first place?

He was thinking, thinking, and the steps under his feet began to take another step - he still had to go to see the queen mother. At least this time, he had to figure out, in the end, what was ......

In the process of being sent out to investigate the rebellion case...... What the hell is going on in this Tai Chi Palace.

Why is this the case?

That's Uncle Yuan!

That's the emperor's uncle!

That's the eldest grandson Wuji!

He......

Is the case of rebellion really true?

How can it be!

And is it with the abolished prince he pulled down at the beginning, the current King of Liang? Or is it related to his extremely inconspicuous two kings?

How could it be!

Regardless of anything else, just say that he has always been on guard against King Qi's attitude...... How could he be on the same path with them and seek the same game?!

What's more, this old man has always regarded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the treasure in his heart and painstakingly trained him! How could it be that because of two uncompetitive princes, two children whom he didn't like very much from the beginning, he would do such a thing that endangered his beloved protégé!

How could he!

Di Renjie couldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it. Clenching his fists tightly, he gritted his teeth and walked to the door of the pious man.

But from a distance, he saw Li Zhi's jade chariot, which was coming out of there, and in a startled way, he looked left and right, quickly flashed behind a huge pillar, turned his head sideways, and waited for the emperor to drive away.

After a while, he probed out, and after seeing that there was no one left and right, he turned around and walked a few steps in the direction of the Qianhua Gate, but hesitated, stopped, looked left and right, only thought for a moment, then turned around again, and walked in the direction of the Yeyouting.

A moment later.

Taiji Palace, the apse of the political hall.

Mei Niang was dressed in plain clothes, her hair was untied, her clothes were slightly messy, she calmly only looked at the brochure in her hand, and was quietly in a daze.

Minghe on one side was a little uneasy, glanced at the bowl of porridge on the couch next to him, and couldn't help but whisper: "Niangniang, you haven't gotten a drop of rice since you got up in the morning, and at this time, you should also eat a little bit - like this, don't eat or drink every day, Niangniang, forgive Ming and say more, that's not to be angry with the Lord, it's to destroy your own body, and hurt the hearts of His Royal Highness the Prince and the two little Highnesses!" ”

"Let it go! Hongu doesn't have much appetite right now. When you want to eat, you don't have to ask, you will eat it. ”

Mei Niang said lightly, then told Minghe to shut up helplessly, and only said in a low voice after a while: "That Niangniang, why don't you take a sip ......?"

"Hongu doesn't feel thirsty, and he doesn't feel hungry."

Mei Niang repeated, her tone was calm as usual, but Minghe had to stop, silent, and stood in place.

Yes.

He now knows what happened, why Li Zhi gave this grounding order, and why Mei Niang was so desperate......

But......

So what?

Di Renjie stopped, stood in the sun, and looked at everything with sweat.

One moment cold, one moment hot.

The sweat was obviously hot when it came out, but I don't know why, as soon as it came out, it was so cold that it was stinging.

How, exactly? What to do?

What to do?

He stood still, dazedly pinching the thick fold in his sleeve.
