Two days later, the two major assassination organizations in the rivers and lakes were destroyed, and all the people in the sect disappeared from the rivers and lakes. Regarding the assassination case, because the king did not pursue it, it was finally settled.

Manyao just stayed in the palace, and it was ten days after that. Zong Zheng Wuwu looked cold most of the time, as if that coldness had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, occasionally approaching her, but he didn't make any more excessive moves. is no longer a worry-free sect that is tempted everywhere, and getting along is actually not as difficult as she imagined.

He named the garden where she lived "Manxiang Pavilion", and every day he would play a game of chess with her, and listen to her talk about the world that he was not familiar with, he would be very quiet, even when it came to airplanes and bombs, he was unwavering, and rarely asked questions.

On the morning of this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the two sat opposite each other in the courtyard and tasted tea. The best West Lake Longjing, full of fragrance. She took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Worry-free, you ...... in the tea garden that day After ordering all the fruit teas, what are you looking for? ”

Zong Zheng Wuwu was slightly stunned, then thought about it, and said thoughtfully: "Do you know that there is a kind of tea, no, it should be...... Drink. It tastes bitter but somewhat sweet...... The color is very dark......"

Bitter and sweet, dark? "Coffee?"

"Coffee ...... Coffee......? Zong Zheng Wuwu repeated, his voice was extremely soft and slow, as if he was trying to remember something. After a long time, he nodded and said, "It seems...... It's called coffee! My mother, before she got sick, loved to drink. At that time, I ...... At four years old, I don't understand why she likes that smell. "Mother said: Bitter and sweet, like the taste of life. Even if the heart is bitter, there is still a little sweetness. And he is the sweetness of his mother's life. But now, he only feels that life is endlessly bitter.

There was a hint of imperceptible sadness in Zongzheng's carefree tone, and he rarely mentioned his mother. Manyao looked at his eyes immersed in memories, and behind the coldness was the pain of longing for memories, which made people feel distressed. I heard that Zongzheng's worry-free mother Yun Guifei was a beauty in the Kingdom of Heaven, died thirteen years ago, and had been favored in the harem for several years, and then due to civil strife in the court, the emperor accepted concubines in order to balance the court situation, so that Yun Guifei became depressed and became ill. Emperor Lin invited famous doctors all over the world, and three years later, his condition had just improved, but he died suddenly.

This man who seems to care about nothing has actually had a lot of feelings, right? That's why he likes to listen to her talk about the 21st century, as a way to comfort himself, and he hopes that his mother can leave this world and return to another world to live a good life. How much he must love his mother?! What kind of scars are hidden in his heart that makes him so cold.

"Seventh brother!" The Nine Emperors cranked the folding fan in their hands, strode towards them, and found a seat to sit at random. Seeing that Zongzheng was carefree, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Huh?!" Why didn't I speak as soon as I came? Liyue, what were you talking about, you weren't talking badly about me, were you? ”

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he chuckled silently. After living in the palace, I have often seen each other, and I have long been familiar with each other, and even simple gifts are exempted. Zongzheng drank tea without worry, but he didn't hear it.

The Nine Emperors were bored, and they were not annoyed. Slowly pouring himself a glass of water, Fang said: "Today is the day of the triumph of the Divine Imperial Army, and it is lively outside!" I heard that my father was going to crown Fu Chip as the 'Great General of the Patriotic Nation', holding three armies and ranking more than the princes. Seventh brother, it looks like you're going to enter the palace again! ”

Zong Zheng leaned back in his chair, glanced at him lazily, and said, "He was canonized, what does it have to do with me?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said: "Of course it matters, the 200,000 army was trapped and almost wiped out, if it weren't for the Seventh Brother's clever plan, how would he have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Zong Zheng snorted without worry, and said lightly: "Even without me, he can still break the formation and retreat from the enemy, defeat the Beiyi Kingdom, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and return triumphantly." ”

The Nine Emperors were stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Won't it?" If it was something he could do on his own, why did he ask the court for help? ”

Zong Zheng took a sip of tea without worry, his expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If I don't share half of the credit for him, what do you think...... When he returns victorious, can he take charge of the three armies? ”

Manyao only listened silently, and secretly said in his heart: If this is the case, the general who is rumored to be brave and unrivaled can be regarded as brave and strategic, and he can't help but know how to tactics, and he is also well versed in the art of power and strategy. In this way, not only can defeat the Beiyi country to establish immortal achievements, but also avoid the suspicion of the emperor, if the emperor has a little ambition, he will definitely grant him the power of the army, it is really a good strategy! This person is not simple! And Zongzheng is thousands of miles away, but he can see everything so thoroughly according to the change of form. If two such people become hostile one day, I don't know who will win and who will lose?

The Nine Emperor Princes are also a person who knows everything at all, he frowned, and said busily: "It turns out that Fu Chip's scheming is so deep!" Seventh brother, you have to think of a way, it's not a good thing that this military power falls into his hands, in case he has a different heart in the future......"

Zong Zheng said coldly: "Someone will worry about these things!" ”

Seeing his cold expression, the Nine Emperor Princes stopped with interest. Picked up the teacup and wanted to drink, before it was handed to his lips, his eyes inadvertently fell on the hand holding the cup, the slender and slender fingers, white as jade, and the warm yellow light reflected the pale pink nails, which looked radiant and moist, and I wanted to hold that hand in the palm of my hand to care for it. His eyes lit up, and without thinking much about it, he took her hand, leaned in to take a closer look, and exclaimed, "I just showed up today, and it turns out that Liyue's hand is so beautiful!" ”

I didn't think there was anything, after all, in the past, shaking hands was a normal etiquette. Zong Zhengwu's eyes sank, and he saw the Nine Emperor Princes approaching one by one, and his face was almost touching the woman's hand, and she didn't have the slightest intention of breaking free. He looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that the weather was a little stuffy today, which made people's hearts panic for no reason. I poured a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, and the herbal tea really had a hint of bitterness than the freshly brewed tea. He frowned, put down the cup in his hand, and unconsciously became a little heavier. He was slightly stunned and looked up at him a little strangely.

The Nine Emperors didn't seem to hear it, but still studied her hand vigorously, as if thinking about something, and suddenly said, "Huh?!" It seems that a while ago, I also saw a woman with particularly beautiful hands! Who's here...... I want to think about it......"

Man Yao was shocked in his heart, just more than two months ago, from the gate of the palace, he had praised her hand!
