In the Qiankun Palace, in the dead of night, the cold insects hissed.

Meng Hongyu stood quietly in the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking up at the faint crescent moon in the sky. The remnants of the cold moon are like a lonely wandering spirit, staggering forward in the sky little by little. The sparse stars in the sky, could it be Su Zirong's tearful eyes? At this moment, she is weeping with him in the sky, telling him about her lovesickness?

Meng Hongyu remembered that day, he slapped her, and she looked at him coldly with tears, it was the last eye contact between them! There is despair and stubbornness in her eyes, longing and resentment, hatred and love......

Gently closing his eyes, a crystal tear quietly slipped from the corner of Meng Hongyu's eyes! She would never forgive herself, he thought! Because, he failed her affection and banished her to the desert of love! He reneged on his oath and left her alone in despair to chew on lovesickness! He didn't protect her well and let her die unjustly! He carelessly buried her without thinking deeply about whether there was a great conspiracy behind her death......

Let the tears be dried by the cool breeze, let the throat be dry and painful, let the sorrow spread little by little, tonight, he will cry happily, think about it, read it, regret it, and then, from tomorrow, he will no longer grieve for her, only when she is still alive, but just went to a far, far away place......

"Forgive me for being involuntarily, what I owe in this life, I will pay you back in the next life......" Looking at the stars that were gradually dazzling in the night, Meng Hongyu imagined that he was looking at Su Zirong at the moment, and was muttering to her, "In the next life, I will not be the emperor, only the husband of you and Ling'er......"

Lu Yao's hoarse voice came from behind the "Emperor's ......", interrupting his boundless contemplation and burying his lovesickness for Su Zirong.

"You're back?" After sorting out his emotions in an instant, he gently turned to look at Lu Yao, there was a trace of chill and hatred in his eyes, and his tone was as cold as midwinter, "How is it?" Did the queen mother tell you not to tell me the truth about Concubine Rong's death? ”

"The emperor is wise! Sure enough, as the emperor expected, the queen mother instructed the servants not to tell you the truth. Lu Yao replied in a low voice, with a hint of distress in his tone - things were really not what Meng Hongyu expected, then, at this moment, Meng Hongyu's heart was not happy that he was like a god, but sad for his mother's cruelty!

Lu Yao remembered the scene yesterday when he told Meng Hongyu the truth he had found out-

Lu Yao gently pushed open the door of the imperial study, only to see Meng Hongyu laying paper on the desk to practice calligraphy, Meng Hongyu did not look up, but asked Lu Yao softly: "How did you check?" Why did Lin Luan help Bai Zhongming get rid of his crimes? Did the Lin family secretly collude with the Bai family? ”

Lu Yao stood quietly beside him, with a moment of hesitation in his heart, he hesitated to tell the real reason why Lin Lu'an helped Bai Zhongming get rid of his crimes. If he said it, then the emperor knew that the reason why Lin Lu'an wanted to exonerate Bai Zhongming was because Bai Rushuang helped Lin Yueyao send a jade hairpin, then he also knew that Su Zirong was killed by the Lin family's father and daughter!

If he knew that Su Zirong was unjustly killed, what would happen to his emperor? It was not easy for him to gradually accept the reality of Su Zirong's "suicide", if at this time, he told the emperor that Su Zirong was killed by Lin Yueyao, then would the emperor be furious and kill, or would he collapse in an instant with grief? - Neither of these results is what Lu Yao wants!

However, after all, Lu Yao was the imperial guard who swore allegiance to Meng Hongyu, and he knew that if he did not tell the emperor everything he had found out without concealing it, it would be a disloyalty and betrayal! Moreover, if one day, after the emperor knows that he is hiding it for the Lin family, will he also suspect that he is colluding with the Lin family?

After hesitating, Lu Yao still told Meng Hongyu everything he had found out - after all, Meng Hongyu was the supreme emperor and the ruler of the high, and the result was good or bad, and he could only make the decision!

After listening to Lu Yao's words, Meng Hongyu's right hand holding the brush froze instantly, and drops of thick black ink dripped on the snow-white rice paper, gradually blending, as if an ink lotus bloomed on the snow......

His thoughts returned to his eyes, and in the hazy moonlight, Lu Yao saw a sneer on the corner of Meng Hongyu's mouth, and after laughing, Meng Hongyu pretended to be proud and said: "In the evening, you came to tell me that the Queen Mother asked you to go to Cining Palace, and I have already guessed that she must be planning for the Lin family!" ”

Meng Hongyu finally gradually lost trust in the Queen Mother! Yes, even though Su Zirong's death was really not a conspiracy of the Queen Mother, however, after knowing the evil deeds of the Lin family's father and daughter, she actually tried to whitewash the peace for the Lin family's father and daughter! It can be seen how wholeheartedly she thinks about the Lin family!

For the sake of the Lin family, she has painstakingly planned to make the woman of the Lin family the queen for many years, but she has never considered the happiness of her son; She ignored her son's country, and allowed the Lin family to form a party to engage in favoritism, and gradually became powerful; She allowed the women of the Lin family to frame Su Zirong again and again, and turned a deaf ear to the grievances of a weak woman......

What else is he going to do with such a mother? What are you going to do? He decided that from now on, he would never trust her and rely on her again!

Under the moonlight, the chilling coldness in Meng Hongyu's eyes is the cooling after the family affection is burned out, the condensation after the outburst of anger, and the coldness after the extreme disappointment.

That coldness made Lu Yao faintly worried, so he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you ...... What are you going to do? ”

Lu Yao was really afraid that Meng Hongyu would do something earth-shattering after extreme anger and extreme disappointment! He didn't want to see him turn into a tyrannical monarch pinned down by anger, nor did he want to see him turn into a decadent king held back by disappointment.

"Don't do it." Hiding the last sneer, Meng Hongyu's tone was so calm that it seemed that nothing had happened.

Although sometimes, Meng Hongyu is an irritable and domineering man, but in the face of family and country affairs, he is far calmer than Lu Yao imagined. He is a man who knows how to prioritize and prioritize! In front of love and women, he can let sensuality dominate the mood, and he can be angry and domineering by his temperament, but in front of Jiangshan and Sheji, he is more rational than anyone else!

"Don't worry, I won't deal with anyone for the time being." Meng Hongyu opened his mouth to comfort Lu Yao, "If I deal with Lin Lu'an and Lin Yueyao with great fanfare, then won't the Queen Mother know that you have told me about this?" I won't embarrass you. ”

"The emperor thinks so thoughtfully for the slave, and the slave is grateful!" Lu Yao hurriedly knelt down to thank him - you say, when he met such a good master, how could Lu Yao follow him and protect him without giving up?
