In the imperial city, in the imperial study, stepping on the white jade-like masonry floor, Liu Bonan walked in slowly.

In today's imperial study, unlike in the past, the emperor who had been sitting by the bookcase was gone, and in its place was a screen blocking it. On the other side of the imperial study, there was an ordinary round table.

After the round table, the emperor sat quietly, holding a wine glass in his hand, squeezing it gently, his face unchanged. Seeing Liu Bonan come in, he raised his eyelids and looked over. Whispered, "Sit ......"

Liu Bonan did not salute as respectfully as before this time, he looked at the scene in front of him, and felt that there was a feeling of being lost for a long time, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his hand, smiled, and said, "Isn't it familiar?" ”

After asking, seeing that Liu Bonan's face was full of doubts, but he didn't speak, he continued, "In the past, you and I always sat and drank each other like this, but since I ascended the throne, there has never been such a thing......

Liu Bonan nodded: "The identity is different, naturally it can't be the same as before, now you are the king, I am the minister, it is a fact that cannot be changed, and it is impossible to return to the previous state of being a friend......

"There are no outsiders now, do you mind?" The emperor's face was a little disappointed and frustrated: "Can't you really go back?" There are gains and losses in life, the more power I have, but I feel that I have lost more, and the happiness I used to have seemed to be getting farther and farther away from me......"

Everything the emperor said today came from the heart, of course Liu Bonan could hear it, and his expression made Liu Bonan also relax. Liu Bo walked south to the round table and sat down.

"The Emperor's ......"

As soon as Liu Bonan's words came out, the emperor raised his hand: "There are no monarchs and ministers today." Bernan, I still want to hear you call me Fifth Brother......"

"Fifth brother?" Liu Bonan shook his head: "This time is different from the past, even if we can sit together, it is impossible to be like before, besides, when I called the fifth brother, you and I were still young, and since you became the king, I have changed my voice to call you the prince......"

"Yes...... the emperor sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this today, let's have a good drink, no one has been drunk with me for a long time......"

Liu Bonan looked at the dishes on the table that no longer had a trace of heat, and said softly: "The dishes are already cold......

"Hmm!" The emperor nodded: "I thought you came sooner, and you prepared earlier." However, this is fine, in the past, we did not eat cold dishes......"

This time, the emperor did not say anything more, but raised his glass and drank it with his head up. When the glass was finished, he raised it in front of him and poured it down. Then, he raised his other hand and motioned to Liu Bonan.

Liu Bonan looked at the wine glass that was already full in front of him, shook his head gently, raised the wine glass, drank it all, and then picked up the wine bottle in front of him.

Remove the lid of the pot, raise your head and "gurgle" and drink the whole pot of wine.

The emperor stared at him, his eyes showed a little surprise, he looked down at the wine jug in front of him that had not been touched, his face was blue and white, he stood up and froze there, and after a while, he sat down slowly, smiled bitterly, and said, "I blocked all my words." ”

Liu Bonan burped, his somewhat indifferent face showed a hint of ruddy, he stood up for a moment, and sure enough, his whole body was weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

He shook his head: "Actually, you don't need to do this, as long as you say a word, Bernan's life will always be yours." ”

The Emperor lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then straightened up, the words had come to this point, and there was no point in drinking the wine any further, he put the glass upside down on the table, and slowly left the chair.

The moment his body left, his temperament had changed, he was no longer the former prince at the wine table, and he was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty again. His voice also became less emotional.

"Do you have any other wishes?"

After the emperor asked this sentence, Liu Bonan already knew his fate, in fact, from the moment he entered the door, he already knew something after seeing the wine glass in front of him, but there were still some illusions in his heart.

This time, the emperor's words undoubtedly shattered this illusion. Completely disappointed and the medicine in the wine, Liu Bonan's face was a little ugly, he held the table with one hand, leaned back on the chair, raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and remembered Yue Shao'an's words in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid should scold again. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid.

Strange to say, at this moment, the first thing he thought of was him, and at the same time, the figures of Liu Zongyan, Liu Ruyan, and Han Moer flashed from their minds in turn.

In the end, Liu Bonan slowly opened his mouth: "My wish is gone, it's just that there are two people who can't rest assured, my father is old, and the emperor will let him resign for retirement." As for Yue Shao'an, a stunned boy, he may do some radical behavior, and I hope that the emperor will tolerate him a little ...... then."

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Liu Bonan a few times, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes, originally, Liu Zongyan and Liu Bonan, the father and son, were not in harmony.

The emperor also knew the reason, he thought that it would be difficult for the two of them to be reconciled in this life, but when the two were in the most danger, they both thought of each other.

This emotion may seem a little strange to say, but it is quite profound.

The emperor looked at Liu Bonan, and now he was more and more suspicious of his decision, and the loyalty of the Liu family and his son had been fully demonstrated.

Liu Bonan could have left, with his martial arts, he already knew that there was a problem with the wine, and if he wanted to leave, the people here under the emperor might not be able to keep him.

But he still chose to drink all the wine, and the emperor was a little heartbroken, I don't know if this is considered a self-destruction of the Great Wall? It's a pity that it's too late for him to turn back now.

Liu Zongyan was poisoned to death by himself, even if Liu Bonan doesn't know it now, but he will know it after all, at that time, can he still believe in his loyalty?

The emperor's thoughts were uncertain, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes, he heard Liu Bonan's words in his ears, but now he can't do anything but his wishes, Liu Zongyan is dead, this is already an irretrievable fact.

As for Yue Shao'an, the emperor hasn't figured out what to do yet, he just hopes that Yue Shao'an won't make it too difficult for him to do it when the time comes. Liu Bonan is his brother-in-law, and so is himself, he will never do too much.

After thinking for a long time, the emperor said to Liu Bonan: "Yue Shao'an is still in the north, he can't come back for a while, you can rest assured......"

With that, he walked out of the imperial study, and with a wave of his hand, several people hiding outside the door quickly rushed into the room.
