Liu Nian stubbornly closed his mouth and didn't say a word.

Li Qi persuaded: "After so many years, what else can't be said?" King An has already entered the ground, and everything is a foregone conclusion. ”

I only heard Liu Nian laugh suddenly

"Maybe it's as you guessed."

Zhao Zhen stood behind the wall and tilted his ears vigilantly when he heard him say this.

Li Qi persuaded Liu Nian: "We don't plan to take your life ourselves, we just want to cooperate with you." ”

Hearing only a cold snort, Liu Nian said: "Let me see my wife and children, I will say what I know!" ”

Li Qi took out a juanpa from his sleeve and said, "You can't see the people, but I can guarantee that they are all safe and sound, this is your wife's new embroidery, and you should recognize her embroiderer." ”

Liu Nian looked at the handkerchief and smiled bitterly:

"I knew you wouldn't let me see them."

"There's no way, there are a lot of people, just in case."

Li Qi slapped the fan in his hand a few times: "I believe you also know in your heart that it may not be a good thing for your wife and children to really meet." ”

Liu Nian sighed, as smart as he certainly knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

"It's okay to say it, but you may not find out......"

Li Qi waited quietly for him to tell the truth.

Liu Nian said: "There is indeed one thing that I have not told anyone for so many years. ”

Zhao Zhen, who was separated by a wall, was also a little nervous when he heard this, and he didn't dare to come out.

Liu Nian said: "One day many years ago, I saw a letter written by a courtier to King An in the study, and later King An entered the room and scolded me, put away and burned the letter. ”

"What is written in the letter?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask him.

Liu Nian said: "At that time, I only saw the last sentence. ”

"Don't sell it, say, write something."

"It is written: Yu has been in the dynasty for many years, and he is fine."

Hearing this, Li Qi was shocked.

I...... In the DPRK for many years......

King Rong's mansion.

At this time, King Rong came to Yuanshu with a bowl of medicine.

In a calm tone, he said, "Son, drink it and you'll be fine." ”

Yuan Shu was still wrapped in the quilt, motionless and looked sideways at the incense burner on the case, which was spreading with wisps of green smoke.

For the past few days, he has been lying down like this.

Every time I think of that thrilling moment, I can't help but be afraid, if Li Lin hadn't appeared at that time, he would have been crushed and covered with blood if he finally fell from exhaustion......

As soon as Yuan Shu thought of having a black hand behind him, a chill surged through his body, and it seemed that the whole world was full of danger......

Before this, he had always thought that all the open and secret battles had nothing to do with him.

For a long time, although he was competitive and competitive, he never thought that he would have such an encounter, and it happened so suddenly that he seemed to figure out a lot of things at once, but his sense of security was not left at all.

Looking at his stunned expression, King Rong knew that he had been thinking crankily for the past few days.

Persuaded: "People, I am most afraid of thinking too much...... In fact, there is no need to think about many things, let's just do our best. ”

Yuanshu muttered, "Father, aren't you already indisputable?" Why is this happening? ”

When King Rong heard him say this suddenly, he gently put the medicine on the couch, and his tone was a little sad:

"There are some things that cannot be avoided, and my father has seen a lot. You've grown up now, and you're going to be the king of the county......"

"When you become the king of the county, are these things gone?!"

Yuanshu interrupted his father's teaching.

Over the years, although Yuanshu has been willful, he has always loved his father. But at this moment, his tone did not look like he was facing the elders, as if his mood had changed greatly in just a few days.

King Rong has always been a tolerant father.

In the court, when other princes and nobles were still following their father's love and teaching their sons, he always supported and encouraged Yuanshu.

Since he was a child, he has treated Yuanshu as a little adult, probably because he has had a deep estrangement from his father who is the emperor since he was a child, and after Yuanshu was born, he has been trying to create a peaceful atmosphere, and never uses his identity to restrain and suppress his son.

This is also his enlightenment, father and son should be the closest relationship in the world, the continuation of life.

It is this most primitive concept of family affection that makes King Rong the most humane prince among many nobles, and he is also famous for his good temper.

In this extraordinary period, King Rong wanted to try to enlighten him with some big truths, but at this time he found that there were too many truths that he had already talked about before.

Yuan Shu has obviously resisted, and those who bother will only backfire.

"Son!"

King Rong straightened his clothes, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Although I am also frightened when such a thing happens, I am fair to say that it is strange......

Yuanshu's eyes moved, and he looked at his father.

King Rong continued, "There are some things I don't want to tell you so bluntly, but I know that you will see sooner or later. ”

King Rong said: "Every time the throne changes, anything can happen, even if you think you have nothing to do with this matter, but you will inevitably become someone else's target in the court...... A lot of times, you don't even know who is hurting you. ”

Yuanshu looked at his father quietly, he didn't expect him to suddenly say this to himself.

King Rong went on to say, "It's just because you are in it or your neighbor is in it, or you stand in the way of somebody, or you can create a way for some......"

Yuan Shu was thoughtful and seemed to be very focused, looking at his father intently, he had never told him so bluntly about the affairs of the court.

King Rong patted him: "I know that this time it really scared you, and I also know that this matter was originally aimed at me." ”

"Father's ......"

Yuanshu's voice was a little afraid, and asked, "But you have always had no quarrel with the world, who wants to do this?!" ”

Seeing that Yuanshu's tone was worried, King Rong felt a little emotional in his heart, and he touched Yuanshu's head: "Maybe it's this throne." ”

"But isn't the prince already determined to be one of the third and sixth uncles?" Yuan Shu asked.

King Rong shook his head: "There are always variables before you see it, and the affairs of the imperial court ...... The water is too deep, and the matter is complicated, and you don't understand it yet. ”

Yuanshu's eyes suddenly turned a little red, and he lowered his head to resist the urge to cry.

"So...... Are they going to take care of us? ”

King Rong knew that saying this to him was too negative.

"I also guess about this matter, no one knows what the truth is." King Rong said.

Yuanshu bit his lip.

"Don't be afraid!" His father then comforted him

Yuanshu asked in a low voice, "...... In other words, even the imperial grandfather ...... Is it also powerless? ”

King Rong did not answer directly, and said, "This kind of thing, your imperial grandfather has also experienced it. ”

He turned his head to look out the window.

"Back then, your imperial grandfather had a total of six brothers, and later he died, he was sick, and now he is the living brother of the same generation - only King Rui!"

Speaking of this, King Rong suddenly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

Quickly changed the conversation and said: "Speaking of which, this is the helplessness of being a prince and grandson, don't lose your mind!" Your father will support you in everything. ”

Yuanshu looked at his father and nodded like he had done when he was a child, he held his father's generous palm, and suddenly felt a lot of security.

My father is a mountain behind me.

But can my father protect him for the rest of his life?

A trace of sadness suddenly rose in Yuanshu's heart, and he looked at the faint wrinkles in the corners of his father's eyes,

Yes, there will always be a day when my father will grow old......

Outside the capital pass.

Li Lin and Yuan Biao were galloping on horseback.

A team of fast horses quickly followed behind and shouted: "Li Lin dismount!" Receive the Holy Decree! ”

Li Lin and Yuan Biao reined in at the same time, and saw that they were all dressed in palace, which was a little surprised.

"What will be the decree at this time?"

Yuan Biao thought it was strange.

Li Lin reined in his horse and looked at those people.

The man in charge of issuing the decree: "Dismount quickly!" ”

The two men disembarked from their horses and immediately heard the contents of the decree.

"Li Lin saved the emperor and grandson at a critical moment, his merits outweighed his faults, and he was specially exempted from the crime of exile, so how to decide for himself!"

It turned out that it was because of this incident that Li Lin subconsciously glanced at his senior brother, and Yuan Biao looked calm.

He didn't know what happened to Yuanshu at all.

When Li Lin sent Lu Lu back, he told him that there was some accident at Yuanshu's birthday banquet, but he did not elaborate on the details.

Yuan Biao saw the injury on her hand and didn't ask much.

Now that I have heard this holy decree, I instantly know the general situation in my heart, which is a big deal...... It's not as simple as Li Lin said.

The palace man handed the holy decree to Li Lin and said, "Li Lin, you are already innocent. ”

Li Lin kowtowed.

The messenger did not bother to mingle with their decision, saying, "I have already sent the decree, and the rest is up to you." ”

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and got on the horse, and went back to the palace to resume his life.

Li Lin held the holy decree and looked at Yuan Biao again.

She didn't expect things to take another turn, obviously she had already made up her mind to go to the border and never come back, but when she held the holy decree in her hand, she hesitated a little.

"Didn't you say you just sent a guide?" Yuan asked.

"It's really not a big deal, it's just that Yuan Shu fell from the upper floor and happened to be saved by me."

Li Lin said.

Of course, Yuan Biao saw her thoughts and asked her, "Are you going to leave or stay?" ”

Li Lin thought for a while and whispered, "I listen to my senior brother." ”

Yuan Ao's serious expression was a little smiling: "You will still listen to me?" What if I insist on letting you go back to the border with me? ”

"This ......"

Li Lin lowered his head slightly, what Senior Brother said was right, she was hesitating.

Originally, the capital didn't have much nostalgia for her, but I don't know why, there seemed to be an invisible thread pulling her heart.

Yuan Wei saw the look of guilt on Li Lin's face.

"I also said that there was just a small accident at the banquet, and I'm afraid this matter is much more serious than I imagined."

Li Lin lowered her head, and she couldn't be sure whether this incident was an accident or a conspiracy.

The teacher once warned them to be a sergeant marching and arranging a formation, aiming to defend the territory and defend the country, and they were not allowed to participate in any court affairs!

Even if Li Lin had a premonition, she didn't plan to pay attention to it, and through this imprisonment, she had already seen a little bit of the complexity of the court.

On the contrary, it is Yuan Biao, who is particularly sensitive to these.

Yuan Biao looked at the gradually desolate avenue in the distance, and seemed to have made a great struggle, and said to Li Lin:

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

Li Lin saw her senior brother's expression, and suddenly felt a little timid in her heart, she had been afraid of her senior brother's strictness since she was a child, and felt that there was an invisible sense of oppression.

Yuan Biao stood on the side of the avenue, and Li Lin stood in front of him, two heads lower than him.

Yuan Biao said: "You know, now the emperor wants to choose the prince, so the struggle is more serious in secret. ”

Li Lin nodded.

Everyone knows this situation.

Li Lin was curious why he suddenly said this, and said: "These things are too far away from us after all, and they have nothing to do with us. ”

"Nope."

Yuan Biao didn't pay attention to what Li Lin said at all, and said slowly: "Actually...... There are traitors in the court. ”

Li Lin looked at his senior brother with wide eyes, she didn't quite understand what he meant.

Asari has ...... Traitor?

Why did Senior Brother suddenly say that?

"That's what the teacher said." Yuan Biao said.

Li Lin looked up at the serious Yuan Biao.

Yuan Biao continued: "The teacher told me that the court seems to be peaceful, but some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I guess what happened this time is just the beginning......

Li Lin was about to say something, but Yuan Biao blocked what she was about to say, and then said:

"So why don't I want you to stay in the capital so much, because soon, a storm will be inevitable."

"But...... Who would have such guts? Li Lin asked him.

Yuan Biao shook his head and said, "It's because I don't know who it is that the teacher is more worried." ”

Li Lin also found it incredible.

Now that the court is calm, the emperor is in good health, and everything in the court is in order, who would have such a great ability to stir up the heavens and the earth?

Yuan Biao looked at the gloomy sky: "I don't know the specifics, I just heard from the teacher that he spontaneously asked for orders to guard the border pass, just because he noticed the abnormality in the court, so he found an opportunity to stay away from the court struggle." ”

Sun Chengxian only mentioned these words to Yuan Biao, and never told Li Lin.

To make today's Li Lin sound, it is simply incredible.

She couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she thought of the sharpened wooden stakes under her when Yuan Shu fell from Taibai Building.

Yuan Biao said: "Now let you choose, do you want to go back to the frontier with me, or stay in the capital?" ”

Li Lin looked at his brother's expressionless face and didn't know how to answer.

"I ......"

She couldn't say the rest of the story.

Yuan Biao looked at the wind and sand on the distant avenue, and looked a little depressed.

In a deep voice, he said, "In that case, why don't I help you make a choice." ”

Li Lin looked at his senior brother nervously.

Yuan Biao said: "Stay in the capital." ”

Li Lin looked at him in surprise, she thought he would force her to go to the border gate.

Yuan Biao said: "I know that no matter what they have done, you are reluctant to give up your family, and now the teacher does not let me tell you I have also said it out of the ordinary, I don't want you to be a waste person in the capital, since you are curious about these, go and find out who that person is!" ”

With that, he walked quickly to the horse, flew up and took the reins of the horse.

Turning his head to Li Lin, he said, "I'll go back to the teacher to report to you, if you can't stay in the capital, you can go back to the border at any time, and the teacher and I will wait for you!" ”

After saying that, he rode away, his black back was strong and powerful, raising the yellow wind and sand around him.

Li Lin stood there blankly watching the back of his senior brother in the distance.

All of this, happening peaks and loops!
