Gather in the wilderness.

Maybe it's because it's in the middle of a deep valley, it's colder here than outside.

Especially on this rainy autumn night.

So, Lin Xue'er ignited the charcoal sent by Xiao Wu, and came to the second floor of the main building with the charcoal basin.

This is Zhongli Ruoshui's boudoir in this other field.

The boudoir is very spacious, and there is a tea table carved from pear blossom wood on one side of the window, and two people sit in front of the tea table.

One is Zhongli Ruoshui.

The other turned out to be Fan Taohua!

At this moment, Fan Taohua looked at Zhongli Ruoshui with a kind face, and asked, "The weather is getting cooler, why don't you close the window?" ”

The windows of this boudoir are open on three sides.

There is autumn rain entering the window, and there is also autumn wind passing through the hall, so it is getting colder and colder.

Zhongli Ruoshui poured a cup of tea for his grandmother, handed it over, and smiled slightly, "It was originally closed, but I opened it." ”

Fan Taohua's gray eyebrows raised slightly, "Why?" ”

Zhongli Ruoshui hung his head shyly, "Because the window is open, the light outside will be brighter...... can guide him back. ”

Fan Taohua took a deep breath, retracted her gaze, picked up the teacup, pondered for a moment and raised her eyes to look at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Didn't tell him?" ”

"Grandma thought you were going to tell him."

Zhongli Ruoshui pursed his lips and looked out the window.

"I wanted to tell him, but, but I couldn't say it when the words came to my lips."

"I—I probably wish there were a few more days like this."

Fan Taohua took a sip of tea, got up, turned around, and looked out the window.

Outside the window is the Yunshui Mountains.

It's just that at this time, the Yunshui Mountain Range is hidden in the night and cannot be seen.

"In that case, why didn't you go to the literary world to see him more?"

Zhongli Ruoshui's heart shook violently, she looked up at Fan Taohua's back in shock, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "So...... He really has to die tonight? ”

Fan Taohua turned around and sat down opposite Zhongli Ruoshui again.

Her complexion became serious, and even the originally kind light in her eyes sharpened by two points.

"If you can still be saved from this disease, grandma will not let him die no matter what!"

"But...... Ruoshui, you already know your situation, grandma is thinking, since you are going to be a boy in front of the Bodhisattva, why does he Li Chenan still live in this world? ”

Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Fan Taohua's gaze, just kept watching, and after ten full breaths, she asked, "So, in your eyes, he is really a chess piece?" ”

"Cheng Guogong invited him to the mansion and said that he wanted to recommend him to the court as an official, is this false?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw him and invited him to lunch together, and said so many words admiring him, is it also false?"

"Even Mr. Changsun, the head of the Imperial City Division, personally sent him out, is this still fake?"

Zhongli Ruoshui stood up suddenly, his eyes stared, "No wonder my mother hasn't troubled him these days, by the way, you called Zhou Huairen to the Hou Mansion, thinking that you have obtained the method of making his artifact, so he has lost the meaning of existence, and he can give it up?" ”

Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly laughed, but this smile was colder than the autumn rain outside the window.

"I'm dead, I've resigned myself to my fate!"

"But I love him dearly!"

"So I want him to live happily!"

"Live for me!"

"For me, I have seen the changes in the world and the beauty of the four seasons."

"I thought you would help him, but I never expected it...... You even think of him as a pawn, or an outcast! ”

"If he will die tonight, why should I live until dawn?"

Zhongli Ruoshui turned away.

Fan Taohua frowned, "Stop!" ”

Zhongli Ruoshui stopped, and Fan Taohua's voice came from behind him:

"If you really help Li Chen'an eliminate the headquarters of the Fish Dragon Society tonight, do you know what will happen in Kyoto early tomorrow morning?"

"Zhong Li's move to Shuzhou is only half of the way now, and it will take three or five years!"

"Therefore, the overall situation now is the stability of Kyoto, and the restraint of both sides!"

"Ji Tai knows the layout of Zhongli's family in Shuzhou, but he hasn't stopped it, do you know why?"

Of course, Zhongli Ruoshui didn't answer, and Fan Taohua didn't want her to answer, and said:

"Because in Ji Tai's opinion, Zhongli Mansion went to Shuzhou, and it was easier for him to support the second prince to ascend the throne as the emperor!"

"And Shuzhou is remote and bitterly cold, that place is not important to Ji Tai or the second prince."

"So Ji Tai has been waiting for all these years, waiting for all the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in Kyoto to leave."

"What he needs is a Ning Kingdom that will be handed over to the second prince smoothly, not a Ning Kingdom that has been torn apart after several years of war!"

"So, this balance can't be broken now!"

Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly turned around, "So for the sake of your so-called overall situation, as well as the interests of Zhongli Mansion, you should let Li Chenan die?" ”

"Since that's what you think, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"If you had said it earlier, I would not have allowed him to come to Kyoto, and he would not have been involved in your mess, so why would he have lost his life now!"

"He's going to face the students of Yue Guo alone for you!"

"It was for you that he agreed to stay in Kyoto and even enter the temple!"

"It's my fault!"

"It's me who believes in you too much."

"And you...... is no longer the grandma with her own ideas in my heart! ”

Zhongli Ruoshui turned around, raised his steps, and did not stop any longer.

She walked out of the room, hurriedly fetched a lantern and went downstairs.

A gust of wind blew, and her eyes suddenly darkened, and the lantern in her hand slipped from her hand.

But it did not fall to the ground, but was caught by a man.

It's an old man.

He's the Sky Leopard!

He carried Zhongli Ruoshui to the second floor, put him on the bed, and carefully covered the quilt, and then stood in front of Fan Taohua.

"Li Chen'an, is it the son of the county lord of Yun'an?"

“…… No! ”

"Since the Treasure Pavilion in the palace has those two flavored medicines, since those two flavored medicines can prolong the life of Ruoshui for two or three years...... With your temperament, even if you go to grab it, you should grab it back. If you really rob it, even if the emperor knows, he won't do anything to you. ”

"But why didn't you rob it?"

"I'm old, just like Ruoshui said, I'm no longer the Fan Taohua with my own opinions!"

At this moment, Fan Taohua seems to be really much older.

Her body was a little rickety.

The spirit on her face was also a little sluggish.

She slowly walked to the teatable and sat down slowly with one hand on the teatable.

"Zhongli Mansion...... Now in Zhongli Mansion, I have sixty-three children and grandchildren, and there are many subordinates who are attached to Zhongli Mansion to live, and there are also 30,000 Shenwu soldiers who are loyal to Zhongli Mansion. ”

"I'm not sparing my life, but I'm ...... I hope all of them live, including you. ”

The old man looked at Fan Taohua carefully, and suddenly grinned, "You are really old!" ”

"Wen Boiling Rain is right."

Fan Taohua raised her head and asked, "What did he say?" ”

He said...... You put down the sword you are best at, but you used the scheming you are not good at, so Li Chen'an's death ...... It's really a bit wronged! ”

"He also said that Li Chenan was afraid that he would not die tonight."

"Why?"

"Because there are still people who don't want him to die, like ...... The eldest grandson is shocked! ”
