The rainstorm came suddenly, and it didn't stop since the evening, Jiang Zhengxin stood in the verandah, looking at the dark night that was constantly washed by the rain, and his heart was heavy.

Wei Yue was in a hurry when she left, and she had time to explain the reason to her in detail in the future, so Jiang Zhengxin only knew that he had gone to the Gu Yan Sect, and he didn't know what had happened, but from the depressed and solemn look of Wei Yue when she parted, it could be seen that this matter was not trivial, so she had been very worried, after all, the divine antlers had not been found, and Wei Yue's heart was still very fragile.

In the rainy weather, few people travel, once someone visits, it must be urgent, and in the noisy rain, the door of the house is knocked messily.

The tall man came with an oil-paper umbrella, and it was difficult to distinguish his appearance in the dark rain curtain, Jiang Zhengxin's heart instantly tightened, worried that he had brought some bad news from the north. When the others walked to the porch and put away the oil-paper umbrella, their faces were illuminated by the lights, Jiang Zhengxin saw clearly that the person who came turned out to be Luan Shu.

Luan Shu's eyes were full of worry and eagerness that could not be hidden, and he said to Jiang Zhengxin: "Miss, please go and see the regent." ”

Jiang Zhengxin had never seen Luan Shu so anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Liyuan?" ”

"The regent has locked himself up in the palace for a long time, forbidding anyone to enter."

Jiang Zhengxin's heart sank, and he immediately left the house with Luan.

The hurried horses' hooves splashed in the rain, and in the wind and rain, the carriage drove quickly into the palace.

Along the way, Jiang Zhengxin was uneasy, she had known Liyuan for so long, it was rare to see him lock himself up, the last time was when his mother died, at that time he neither spoke nor shed tears, just licked his wounds alone in a dark room......

So this time, something big must have happened.......

When the door of the temple was pushed open, the wind carried the torrential rain into the frenzy, blowing layers of curtains, and in the dark hall, Liyuan sat on the ground, and the breath around him was colder and more gloomy than the rainy night outside.

He put his hand on his forehead, his expression could not be seen in the darkness, and there was a strong sense of oppression and chill in his deep voice: "Didn't you say that no one was allowed to come in!" ”

"It's me."

“……”

Hearing Jiang Zhengxin's voice, Li Yuan didn't speak again.

Jiang Zhengxin walked to Liyuan's side and saw the edict on the ground, she knew that she wouldn't say anything if she asked Liyuan, so she picked it up and looked at it herself, and she was not afraid that it would be the crime of killing her head.

The meaning of the edict is very simple, let Liyuan abolish the emperor and sit on the throne himself.

But the meaning is very cruel, the waste is brother, and the end is cold-blooded and ruthless.

With this edict of the former emperor, Liyuan's enthronement was legitimate, and it was precisely because of this edict that Liyuan fell into a dilemma.

At this time, if he ascends the throne, even if he does not kill Liyang, he can also abdicate with the edict in his hand, and make him a prince to ensure that he has no worries for the rest of his life, but if Liyuan does not abolish the emperor now, then Liyang is likely to kill him for the stability of the throne in the future.

Therefore, the answer given by Emperor Wu of Ming to Liyuan was already in front of him - to replace it.

The reason why Emperor Ming Wu did this was because he still wanted Liyuan the most in his heart, and he did plan to pass on the throne to him, but there was an incident that made the father and son turn against each other.

Back then, Liyuan's biological mother, but also the queen of Yaoguo, couldn't bear to see Emperor Ming Wu fight for many years, trapping all the people in fire and water, risking death to persuade Emperor Ming Wu to cease the war, Emperor Ming Wu thought that the most promising Liyuan did not support him because of the queen's teaching, at that time he had already wanted to become a demon, and in anger he killed Liyuan's mother, which made Liyuan resentful of Emperor Ming Wu.

But the mistake has been made, even if Emperor Ming Wu feels remorseful, he can't undo all this, and both of them are cold and silent, and they don't apologize and make peace, so they don't release their suspicions.

Until Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty died, he failed to make Liyuan agree with his idea of expanding territory and conquering countries, so he first passed the throne to the youngest Liyuan, gave Liyuan the right to regent, and then handed over the edict to Liyuan in full view of everyone at this time, in order to force him to embark on the same path as himself, and cultivate the same ruthless heart as himself, so as to achieve the imperial hegemony of the past and the present.

After reading the edict, Jiang Zhengxin was shocked, the edict in his hand slipped down suddenly, and the sound of the jade shaft hitting the ground echoed in the silent hall, desolate and desolate.

She understood Liyuan's pain, and it would be too cruel for him to make such a choice.

It can be said that this is not only a game between father and son, but also a game between brothers, the stake is life and death, the family and the country, and the game is the most difficult to guess in the world.

Jiang Zhengxin didn't say anything, sat down beside Liyuan, and quietly accompanied him.

Liyuan has the most resolute heart, no matter what happens, he can get through, and then he is still the invincible regent in front of people, and he doesn't need any comfort at this time, all he needs is company.

Like when his mother died, Li Yuan leaned his head on Jiang Zhengxin's lap, silently watching the rain hit the window lattice, and listening to the raindrops splashing. Even though the wound had healed at that time, the imprint remained, and he always remembered that it had rained heavily when his mother died, and he stood in the rain for a long time, sadly watching the rain wash away the harsh blood little by little......

I don't know how long it took, and Li Yuandao whispered, "I want to go and stay in the rain for a while." ”

Jiang Zhengxin nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

Walking into the rain curtain, Li Yuan raised his head and let the rain hit his face.

Being in a high position, he can't express his sadness or joy to the fullest, and a rain can be regarded as a kind of catharsis. I really hope that the rain can wash away his memories like bloodstains, and help him forget all the past and the present......

It was the same night, Bing Qing was haunted by nightmares, screaming and waking up in the nightmare of the tragic death of his fellow disciples, his whole body was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't stop wheezing violently.

There was a sharp knock on the door, and it was a concerned voice outside: "Are you okay?" What happened? ”

The environment of the inn was still very unfamiliar, so he stumbled to open the door, and the moment he saw Yue Yue, the grievances came to his heart even more, and he threw himself into his arms and buried his head in that warm and safe chest.

Even if she is usually cold, after all, she is also a young woman, there is softness buried in the deepest part of her heart, and under the trouble of dreams, on the verge of emotional collapse, her thoughts become messy, and the cowardice, fear, and fear that she can't even see herself pour out at the same time, making it difficult to control her emotions.

Yu Yue was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Bing Qingjue's sudden move, and her whole body stiffened.

Fortunately, Bing Qingjue quickly regained his senses, hurriedly let go of his hand, and apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry....... I ....... my ......."

"Is it a nightmare?" Yue Yue asked.

Bing nodded lightly, thanking Yu Yue for not letting her continue, because she was embarrassed to explain the impulse at this moment.

Yue Yue was relieved to see that Bing was safe and sound, and said to her: "I'm worried that someone is coming, so come and see, you're okay, continue to sleep." ”

Before Yu Yue left, Bing called him lightly: "...... Wait a minute. ”

She opened her mouth, and she wanted to speak, and the moonlight hit that beautiful face, which was even more soft and moving. Because her hair was scattered, helpless and fragile, she was like a snow lotus staggered in the underworld, swaying in terror.

“…… I don't want to sleep, can you ....... stay...... Sit with me for a while? ”
