But the second prince looked flattered and warm:

"Ziyao, you are too kind."

"That's it, don't worry, I won't attack him in this life."

Su Ziyao knew that he didn't believe her words, but looking at his appearance, he shouldn't have done anything to the emperor.

So she didn't explain, just closed her eyes a little weakly and fell uncontrollably onto the bed.

Tired...... Tired.

Coupled with the stinging cold on her body, she almost couldn't support it.

The second prince quickly grabbed her and let her lean on his shoulder.

Then he reached out and touched her forehead.

"Hiss......"

There was no heat at all.

What's even more terrifying is that the cold air emanating from her forehead almost frostbitten his fingertips.

He immediately withdrew his hand and wrapped Su Ziyao tightly with the quilt on the bed.

But Su Ziyao couldn't feel the temperature at all.

She smiled weakly:

"Second Emperor Brother, I'm fine."

The second prince's eyes trembled slightly, and at that moment he seemed to understand that letting Su Ziyao die early was actually a good thing for her.

Since then, the second prince has brought many pastries to Su Ziyao every day.

"Host, if you eat these pastries, you may only live for a month."

The system suddenly appeared in front of Su Ziyao.

She took the pastry in her hand for a meal.

Then he took a breath of cold air and smiled:

"It turns out that eating sweet, will it speed up the effect of the medicine?"

"It's no wonder that I can only live for two months after a good year."

The system held its head: "Isn't the host surprised at all?" ”

"Doesn't the host feel pain?"

Su Ziyao stuffed the pastry into her mouth, and then curled up her body even smaller:

"It hurts, how can it not hurt, but it won't hurt for long."

The host stared at Su Ziyao without blinking:

"Why do you have to eat when it hurts? The host is such a strange person. ”

Su Ziyao smiled weakly: "Because, the more I hurt, the more relieved someone will be." ”

"In that case, Lu Shaoxuan will become the minister of state."

Only if she will definitely die, Lu Shaoxuan will be named the Minister of State.

……

A month later.

It had already darkened, and a black cloud had pressed down, making people breathless.

Inside the main hall.

The second prince took a medicine bottle in his hand and shook it for a while, and then shook it in front of Lu Shaoxuan's eyes a few times before saying:

"Do you know what it is?"

Lu Shaoxuan knelt on the ground, raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts:

"My subordinates don't know, I hope the emperor will make it clear."

The second prince played with the medicine bottle in his hand a few times, and the corner of his mouth showed a vicissitudes of life but a playful smile:

"I don't know if you heard about something recently, Ziyao is about to die."

The word death, he said it as simply as eating.

Lu Shaoxuan's eyes trembled, tears filled his eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, and took a lot of deep breaths before relieving.

After a long time, he said, "I heard about it." ”

But even so, the emperor still didn't allow him to see Su Ziyao.

Not a glance.

He had broken into the harem many times and wanted to take a look at Su Ziyao, but he was all caught by the emperor.

Because of this incident, he also offended the emperor many times.

Therefore, although he has made great contributions to the salvation of the country, he has not made any meritorious contributions to this day.

The second prince naturally saw Lu Shaoxuan's depressed appearance, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious:

"I've been making a choice, but I haven't done it well, why don't you do it for me?"

Lu Shaoxuan: "I don't know what the emperor's so-called choice is?" ”

The second prince put the medicine bottle on the table, and the porcelain bottle touched the table, making a crisp collision sound:

"Do you know what it is?"

Lu Shaoxuan: "My subordinates don't know. ”

Second Prince: "This ...... It is the antidote to save Su Ziyao. ”

Lu Shaoxuan's eyes widened instantly, his body trembled, and he couldn't even speak clearly because he was too excited:

"This ...... This...... Since the emperor has an antidote...... That...... Then the princess will live......"

Su Ziyao can live......

Lu Shaoxuan only kept repeating this sentence in his mind.

It was definitely the happiest day he's ever had.

The second prince raised his eyebrows: "You look very happy?" ”

Lu Shaoxuan was stunned.

He stared at the second prince.

Why is he not happy at all?

Instead, a melancholy look?

Don't......

Don't......

He hurriedly threw the thought behind him.

It can't be, it can't be like that.

The second prince lifted Erlang's legs: "It seems that you have guessed." ”

"It is worthy of being the military advisor that Zi Yao strongly recommended to me back then, and it really lives up to its name."

Lu Shaoxuan sat on the ground a little weakly: "Could it be ...... Is it ......?"

"Could it be the princess's poison...... Be...... It's the emperor's ......"

Second prince: "Yes, the poison on Ziyao's body was taken by me." ”

"And this pill in my hand is the antidote to save her."

"There is only one in this world."

Lu Shaoxuan's expression was a little sluggish: "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Why? ”

The second prince pouted: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Tut-tut, Lu Shaoxuan, you are so smart, why don't you guess why I did this."

Guess...... See?

Lu Shaoxuan lowered his head.

On the surface, everything Su Ziyao did was to assist the second prince to ascend to the throne.

The second prince's move is treacherous and intolerable.

Another idea can be changed.

The second prince is now the emperor, and his thoughts are naturally different from before.

Yes, he was pushed up step by step by Su Ziyao.

But since she can push him up, she can naturally push others up.

Keeping her will definitely be the demon of the second prince.

In addition, the second prince did not kill the emperor.

What if one day the emperor comes back, Su Ziyao's heart softens and puts the emperor on the throne?

The second prince will definitely fall into a situation of internal and external troubles at that time.

Coupled with various reasons, Su Ziyao ...... Had to die.

Lu Shaoxuan was as if he had been struck by lightning, his head was noisy, and there was nothing else.

His face was as white as death.

"Then what is the emperor calling his subordinates today?"

Second Prince: "In order for you to help me make a choice." ”

Lu Shaoxuan: "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

Second Prince: "I want to save her, because she is my own sister, but I am too worried to keep her." ”

"So, I'm going to give you the same hard choice."

"One, give this bottle of antidote to Su Ziyao, and then you die for her."

"Second, destroy this bottle of antidote, and then, I will make you the prime minister!"

Really...... The same difficult choice.

Hearing this, Lu Shaoxuan's body trembled even more, and he grabbed his wide sleeves, desperately trying to calm himself down.

Only by being calm can he make the wisest choice.

"If I die, Ziyao and her...... Will you be able to live? ”

The second prince raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, what I have said has never been broken." ”

With that, he leaned back on the table and gently touched his chin with his hand:

"But, Lu Shaoxuan, are you really willing to die for her?"

"You know, when a person dies, there is nothing left."

"You have endured it for so many years, and you have finally come to this point, do you really want to give up everything for a woman?"

"Don't you really regret it?"

Lu Shaoxuan's action of getting up to get the medicine bottle stiffened in place.

Don't you really regret it?

The hardships he had endured and the humiliations he had suffered were repeated in his mind over and over again.

Emotions such as pain, unwillingness, and despair hit his heart again and again.

But only when he dies can Su Ziyao live.

He...... Hopefully...... Su Ziyao can live.

That woman who is like a bright sun should live in this world.

Thinking of this, he finally got up and walked to the side of the second prince with difficulty:

"It's not about giving up everything for a woman, it's about ...... To protect what matters most in your heart. ”

"As long as she can live, her subordinates ...... The subordinates don't care about anything. ”

It's not because Su Ziyao is a woman, so he is willing to give up everything.

It's because the person he likes happens to be Su Ziyao.

So the fault is not Su Ziyao, but him.

The second prince stared at the medicine bottle with his eyes and said with a smile:

"You really don't care about anything?"

"Tut-tut, I think your blind mother who is waiting for you at home will be angry to death when she hears what you say."

"Oh, yes, and your sister."

"If you die, your sister may ...... I can't live either. ”

Lu Shaoxuan's hand that was about to touch the medicine bottle was stiffly paused.

Oh, yes.

He...... And his mother and sister are waiting for him......

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

"My sister she...... What's wrong with her? ”

The second prince finally turned his head to look at Lu Shaoxuan:

"I don't think you know yet."

"Your sister is seriously ill and needs money to treat her, and if you die, there is no need for me to continue to spend money on her treatment."

Lu Shaoxuan's body trembled, his eyes stared at the medicine bottle, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and tears were ready to fall.

He struggled for a long time, but he didn't move.

He...... You can't just watch your sister die like that......

But what about Su Ziyao?

Tears made it difficult for his eyes to see where the bottle was, and his throat seemed to be blocked by iron, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak.

What to do......

What should he do......

The second prince seems to find it very interesting:

"Didn't you just say that as long as you can save Ziyao, you don't care about anything?"

"Now it seems that there are still things that I care about."

"It's better for you to think about it the other way around, as long as Su Ziyao dies, you can get everything."

"Your sister can live, and you yourself can rise to the top and become a master."

"All the forbearance and suffering you have suffered in the past have been rewarded."

"With such a great opportunity in front of you, you can't really care about it, right?"

Lu Shaoxuan closed his eyes, and only opened them after a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand and smiled bitterly:

"The emperor is really powerful."

The second prince raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What does this mean? ”

Lu Shaoxuan wiped away his tears: "A person, if his heart is ruthless to a certain extent, then he will not be invaded." ”

Lu Shaoxuan...... Learn. ”

No wonder Su Ziyao tried her best to put the second prince on the throne.

Thinking about coming to this world, there is no one more suitable to sit in this position than the second prince.

The second prince smiled lightly, but no longer answered.

After Lu Shaoxuan personally threw the antidote into the fire and left, the people who had been hiding in the shadows walked out.

"The emperor's subordinates don't understand this very well."

Second Prince: "What don't you understand?" ”

Secret guard: "If Lu Junshi chose the princess just now, will the emperor really give Lu Junshi to the law on the spot?" ”

The second prince smiled: "No, there is no such possibility." ”

"His choice, from beginning to end, will only be this one."

Dark Guard: "Could it be that his sister is really more important than the princess?" ”

The second prince's eyes were deep: "No, in this world, there are only two of the most important in his heart." ”

"One is Su Ziyao, and the other is rights."

"I've never seen him, he is worried about Su Ziyao as much as he is worried about his sister who stays in a remote village."

"Otherwise, how could he not even know if his sister was sick or not?"

Secret Guard: "My subordinates don't understand, if that's the case, then why did Lu Junshi choose to destroy the pill because of his sister." ”

The second prince sneered and pursed his mouth:

"Where is he because of his sister, he is for the position of prime minister!"

"From the moment he came to get the antidote, I knew that he would definitely find a way to destroy the antidote."

"Ziyao's life and death, where is more important than power?"

The dark guard was startled, and then lowered his head: "The emperor is wise." ”

The second prince played with the wine glass in his hand:

"If you talk about wisdom, I think of what Ziyao said in the past."

"There is no one in this world who can walk out of the hands of power safely."

"If I can't do it, then Lu Shaoxuan will naturally not be able to do it either."

"Ziyao, she is really smart."
