"Can't sleep?" Zhao Ling asked, Jiang Xiaoyu beside him turned over and over, he was a little distressed, he felt that she had become strong now, and she no longer needed her own protection, and her current situation was like this, and he didn't know how to give her happiness in the future, he couldn't sleep all night, but Xiaoyu was also tossing and turning.

"Can't you sleep too?" Jiang Xiaoyu opened her eyes and asked, there was no electric light, the night was very dark and hollow, but Zhao Ling's breathing was extremely clear, she could clearly feel that he was by her side, so she felt very relieved.

She moved her body and snuggled herself into Zhao Ling's arms: "Let's talk!" ”

"Are you worried about tomorrow?" Zhao Ling put his arm around Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulders and asked.

"Not exactly!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "No matter what, I have done everything I can, I have done my best!" The so-called do your best to obey the destiny of heaven! It's just that if I fail tomorrow, it will affect so many people, and I feel very guilty and uneasy! ”

"Actually, the rest of the matter can probably be calculated!" Zhao Ling said, "With His Majesty's temper, I will agree to see you, and I have already made the last concession!" However, Your Majesty is not a person who will easily admit defeat, if your conjecture is right, Master poisoned Your Majesty, Your Majesty will see you tomorrow, I am afraid that I will want to catch you, so as to blackmail Master to hand over the antidote, tomorrow can be regarded as the final time to end, do not take it lightly, all the people who should be brought must be brought! ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I know!" ”

"Anything else on your mind?" Zhao Ling asked again.

"It's about Qiwen!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I don't know how to face Qiwen in the future, although Qiwen has been drawing a line with Changsun Chi, and because of us, she has cut off with Changsun Chi, but I can see that Qiwen still likes Changsun Chi, and if I kill her, Qiwen is sad!" Although Qiwen didn't blame me, I still felt a little sorry for her! ”

"Kill him because there's no better option!" Zhao Ling said, "As a last resort, there are too many things in this world that cannot be done, and they have to be done as a last resort!" You treat Qiwen sincerely, naturally you don't want her to be sad, but in this matter, you must both be able to come out, and the persuasion of others is just a dragonfly! ”

"Even if I want to break my head now, I'm afraid I can't think of a way, everything is waiting for tomorrow's things to pass, and I am coming up with the best of both worlds!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Xianggong, do you think I'm a ruthless person?" In fact, when I was a child, I was bullied, and I always wanted to be a bad person, in fact, I reflected that what I did didn't seem to be much different from a bad person, but I always couldn't get over it on my conscience, and I didn't even qualify to be a bad person! ”

"Who says you're a bad person?" Zhao Ling pinched Jiang Xiaoyu's shoulder, "Have you taken the initiative to harm others?" Repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with grievances, deal with those who have hurt us, return a tooth for a tooth, treat those who are good to us with the softest and most sincere feelings, and be worthy of your heart, so it is enough, why care about the definition of good and bad in the world? You know what kind of person you are, you know who you should be good to, that's all! ”

"Hearing you say that, my heart is much more open!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I am carrying too many people's lives on my body now, the truth will get rid of all this quickly, and then fly away with you!" ”

Zhao Ling hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and gently patted Jiang Xiaoyu's back: "Sleep, I'm here, I'm with you!" ”

"Hmm!"

In the night, Jiang Xiaoyu was not the only one who couldn't sleep.

Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran lit candles and walked on the verandah for a while, and saw Zhao Li in the pavilion in front, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, let the two of us come out to accompany you!" ”

"I'm in a bad mood!" Zhao Li sighed and said.

"What's going on?" Zhao Quan and Jiang Haoran sat down next to Zhao Li and asked.

"I know that my father will probably be more auspicious tomorrow!" Zhao Li sighed and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, but I don't dare to show it in front of the queen mother and everyone, I'm afraid that everyone will be careful!" In fact, no matter what, he is my father, although he has been very strict with me since he was a child, he didn't do anything to be sorry for me, I have my own ambitions, and I am afraid that he will be killed like the second brother and the third brother, so I want to strike first and betray him, but in the end he is still my father! ”

"We can understand!" Zhao Quan said, "But now that there is no turning back from the bow, this matter is no longer up to the sister-in-law, or a few of us can decide!" ”

"Of course I know this!" Zhao Li said, "But as a son of man, he helped others to assassinate his father, but there was a little bit of trouble in my heart, but no one forced me to do this, everything was my own decision!" It's just that if this matter is known to the world, even if he is the emperor in the future, he will be criticized! ”

"Actually, my sister told me!" Jiang Haoran said, "The common people actually don't care much about who is the emperor, as long as they can be fed and warmed to live a peaceful life!" And what the people know, they will always let them know if they want to know, so that no one else will know about it, and it will be covered up under a valid reason, like all secrets! ”

Zhao Quan sighed slightly, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "We never talked about these things before, have we grown up?" Is it good or bad to grow up? ”

"Of course!" Jiang Haoran said, "When I grow up, I will be free, and I will be able to do a lot of things I want to do!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Quan smiled faintly, "Big brother and sister-in-law, are they really free?" Is what they want to do now really what they want to do? ”

The three of them sighed at the same time, looking at the stars in the sky all the time, and they didn't know if the three of them would be able to talk together like this in the future! Life is always fair, you gain something, and you lose others!

The next day, Jiang Xiaoyu got up early, although he didn't sleep for long last night, but he was in good spirits today. She and Emperor Zhou agreed to negotiate in Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing, the radius is very open, and it is clear at a glance who the two sides have brought.

"You don't have to worry about me, just wait here for me to come back!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I hope what I brought back is good news!" ”

"Sister-in-law, you have to be careful!"

"Sister, you will definitely come back safely!"

Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at everyone, and took Yang Xing, Liu Xiaodong, and Zhao Qu and Zhao Qian to the place of negotiation, and Yu Sicheng took the city guards with them, as for the King of Chu, they have been loyal to the monarch all their lives, although they have betrayed Emperor Zhou at this time, but they still can't face it if they want to tear their faces with him in front of them, so they also stayed, and only a few young people went.

What they didn't expect was that Emperor Zhou would come earlier than them, he was drinking in the pavilion, and behind him was the Imperial Forest Army, waiting for him. The square circle was covered with snow, and in the harsh north wind, Emperor Zhou's self-consuming figure looked extremely lonely.

And from this Sen Sen's murderous aura, it can be seen that there should be masters around in addition to the Royal Forest Army, but I am afraid that as Zhao Ling expected, he wants to catch Jiang Xiaoyu in exchange for an antidote!

"Be careful, everyone!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "There are still masters around!" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Qian said, "I'm afraid that we all have the purpose of killing each other, who dares to take it lightly!" ”

"Wait for me here!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I'll go over and talk to him first!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu asked the others to wait not far away, and she went over to meet Emperor Zhou first.

Emperor Zhou raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu's figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intent was naturally revealed, he did not stop drinking, and said lightly: "Sit down!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu sat down silently, the man in front of her was extremely majestic, but he was also old and tired, she felt for the first time that he was not so frightening, and he was just an ordinary person.

"I didn't expect that one day, you would be able to sit opposite me!" Emperor Zhou sneered and said, "To be honest, I have never regarded you as an opponent, because you don't have this qualification, but one wrong step is wrong, a person I have never cared about has forced me into such a situation!" ”

"It's not me who has pushed you to where you are now, it's yourself!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "If it weren't for the fact that you were too suspicious, moody, and did too many chilling things, why would everyone betray you?" No one in this world is a saint, and the human heart is made of flesh! ”

"Humph! The so-called monarch and ministers have to die, this is Gangchang, a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death and turn their backs on Gangchang, what qualifications do they have to compare with saints! ”

"Have you ever trusted someone?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked, "Until now, do you still know what trust is?" If you knew what trust is, tragedy would not have happened ten years ago, and everything would have been rewritten now! ”

"I just made the wrong move by accident, and it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Emperor Zhou said coldly, "I never regret what I have done, do you think you can really win against me?" You're naïve! But I have to say, you have a good master, I still don't know how he poisoned me, if it weren't for the group of rubbish in the imperial hospital who couldn't solve the poison on my body, do you think you have the qualifications to talk to me? ”

"No matter what, I'm right in front of you right now!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "And my request is also very simple, you give it to the five princes, let the five princes share your worries and solve problems, you can be the emperor with peace of mind, and take care of your life!" ”
