There was a fighting sound all around, and the white marble railing had been stained red with blood, and the delicate pattern had changed from dignified to bewitching because of the blood-red color. Li Shimin still held Wanyan, standing on a high place, indifferently watching the people under his feet struggle, struggle, fight, and wait for the final result.

Wanyan stood beside Li Shimin, the same calmness, she had regained her original calm, she seemed to suddenly see through life and death, see through winning or losing, the reason why Li Shimin can become a generation of kings, maybe this is the reason, no matter when, only give him a chance, he can easily turn things around.

Wanyan is waiting for the final verdict, since ancient times, she has been a king and a loser, and she knows how miserable she will end. At this moment, Wanyan's ears sounded Li Shimin's cold voice: "He's working hard for you, Zhao Nan, do you love him?" ”

Wanyan looked at Li Shimin incredulously, she thought that she was hiding seamlessly, but all this had already been seen through by Li Shimin, how much Li Shimin had endured her, Wanyan didn't know, but Li Shimin's question seemed to hit Wanyan's heart, forcing her to face the heart she had been avoiding.

Li Shimin said as if laughing at himself: "Yan'er, you don't have to be so surprised, I already knew, in fact, when a man loves a woman, he is equally sensitive, he can clearly feel this woman's thinking, nothing she does can escape his eyes, and even who the woman is carrying, he can distinguish." ”

"I love you, but love is so low. I know that I am old, but you are still young, you should not belong to this palace, things have come to this point, it is I who have delayed you, I am sorry for you, but in the end, I want to know the answer, and also, have you ever loved me. ”

Li Shimin's eyes became more and more sad, and the ever-dense blood-red color could not shock his vision, and he calmly waited for the answer.

Wanyan looked at Li Shimin's side face, in the past seven years, he has indeed been old. In the past seven years, Wanyan has been by his side almost all the time, monopolizing all his favors, she watched him work hard for the country's affairs, worked hard for the people, and corrected and corrected in the dim candlelight, these Wanyan saw it in her eyes.

He is almost meticulous to Wanyan, and even small things like shushing the cold and asking for warmth are all done by himself. Wanyan was by his side, and he never felt his coldness as a high emperor, and he always warmed her with his love. But......

Wanyan often thinks that if she didn't have such a deep hatred, she might sink into his favor. But......

Wanyan looked at the figures of Zhao Nan and Tang Changyu fighting together in the distance, and said lightly: "I don't know." ”

Li Shimin didn't speak again, Wanyan didn't know, where was the direction he had been looking at, the overall situation had been decided, Wanyan knew that even if the man next to her loved her deeply, she couldn't have any more chances, he wouldn't let her live, Wanyan always forgot that he was the emperor, and the country was the biggest thing with him.

Zhao Nan is still entangled with Tang Changyu, the two of them are stabbed and shot, you come and go, no matter what you do. At first, Tang Changyu was not ruthless to Zhao Nan, but mainly defensive, but who knows, Zhao Nan's knife was sharp, as if he wanted to take Tang Changyu's life, and he pressed forward step by step.

Zhao Nan saw that Tang Changyu didn't fight back, so he intensified his efforts, as if he wanted to force him to make a move, Tang Changyu gradually felt that he could not gain momentum by only passively letting go, so he officially fought back against Zhao Nan. When the two fought, they fought like glue, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, and they couldn't distinguish the high and low in a short period of time.

This is supposed to be a protracted war, two brothers who grew up together since childhood, have been learning martial arts together since childhood, and naturally understand each other's weaknesses and strengths best, Zhao Nan felt that Tang Changyu had never slackened off practicing martial arts for so many years, and Tang Changyu also learned that Zhao Nan's martial arts had become more exquisite.

Just when the two were in full swing, Zhao Nan suddenly changed the direction of the knife, Tang Changyu saw the flaw, seized the opportunity, and took Zhao Nan down in one fell swoop. Zhao Nan smiled lightly at Tang Changyu, Tang Changyu understood that it was Zhao Nan who deliberately let him, and it was Zhao Nan who gave him the opportunity to end this absurd farce as soon as possible.

"Why are you doing this?" Tang Changyu asked. Zhao Nan didn't answer, closed his eyes, looked so unwavering, and let Tang Changyu tie him up and escort him to the emperor.

Li Shimin nodded to Tang Changyu, Zhao Nan and Wanyan exchanged glances, and the two of them looked calm, as if they had accepted their fate.

Li Shimin looked at the rebels who were still struggling below, and said loudly: "The two leaders of your rebellion are now in my hands, if you don't stop quickly, I can spare you from dying, and those who dare to disobey my orders will be killed!" ”

The people who were originally immersed in the fight seemed to have suddenly lost their strength, stopped the movements in their hands, and looked at Li Shimin, who was high up, his invincible expression, and such an authoritative kingly spirit, which shocked them. The anti-thieves, who were still struggling desperately just now, laid down their weapons one by one.

Li Shimin looked down with satisfaction, and all the developments of the matter could not escape his expectations. Li Shimin ordered: "Come on, lock up all these people who participated in the rebellion, and wait for my fate." ”

At this time, Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan actually knelt on the ground at the same time.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Nan is bewitched, please spare Zhao Nan from dying." Tang Changyu said first.

"Your Majesty, all this is Weichen's fault, it was Weichen who instigated Concubine Yan Niangniang to rebel, please ask the emperor to execute Weichen immediately, spare Niangniang's life, and give Niangniang a chance to reform herself." But Zhao Nan's own confession overturned Tang Changyu's words.

Li Shimin did not respond to the request of the two of them in the slightest, but instructed the people around him: "Put Concubine Yan and General Zhao in prison together, and wait for my fate." Also, he removed the prince Li Huan from the position of King Jiang, and put him in prison, waiting for his fate. ”

Tang Changyu watched Zhao Nan and Wanyan being taken away, there was no way, he got up and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for Zhao Nan's intention to let me, the minister would not have won so easily, and this situation would not be so easy to control in our hands, Zhao Nan really helped us, and asked the emperor to learn from it." ”

Li Shimin's face was indifferent, as if the big battle just now had not happened: "I can't see this, I can only see the result, as my imperial guard, colluding with my concubine to rebel and participate in the rebellion, this is a mortal crime." ”

Tang Changyu didn't dare to say it again, for fear that if he continued to say it, it would cause the emperor to be even more angry, but it would be even more unfavorable to Zhao Nan: "But, Your Majesty, now that the matter is only half over, the real test has not yet begun, and Li Junzhi's mysterious army has not yet appeared." ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and arranged: "You take a good rest first, send someone to guard the palace gate, I want to see, how powerful this Li Junzhi is, no wonder I felt familiar when I first saw him, now think about it, he is an old man." ”

Tang Changyu secretly thought in his heart, could it be that the emperor knew Li Junzhi's true identity, so would he just follow the vine and find out the true life experiences of Liuning and Liubin? If the emperor knew the truth, would he cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Tang Changyu was a little worried, so he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, did you know Li Junzhi before?" ”

Li Shimin nodded unobtrusively and said, "You are right, he used to be a scholar of my eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and he served by my eldest brother's side almost all the time, how could I not know him?" He used to be not surnamed Li, but Lu, but he has aged too quickly over the years, so no one came out of him in the first place. ”

"I didn't expect that after so many years, there is still such a fish that has slipped through the net, and he hasn't let it go yet, and he still holds a grudge against me."

Tang Changyu's heart sank, and sure enough...... Tang Changyu looked at Li Shimin's expression, how could it be that Li Junzhi has not let go of his hatred for so many years, and Li Shimin has also not let go of the grievances and grievances of the year, if he knew the true identity of Liuning and Liubin, then they would really die.

The emperor asked Tang Changyu to have a good rest, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment and stood guard at the city gate, nervously paying attention to the enemy's situation while thinking about Liuning's life experience. The night was already deep, Tang Changyu looked at the cold moon in the sky, thinking, I don't know how this Chinese New Year's Eve in Liuning was spent.

The darkness before dawn seemed thicker and thicker, Tang Changyu didn't dare to relax for a moment, there was no wind and grass around him, but Tang Changyu didn't dare to slack off, he had already appreciated Li Junzhi's city, and he believed that Li Junzhi could have the ability to make his army elusive.

Tang Changyu thought about how to avoid this unnecessary killing, he couldn't be sure whether Liubin was involved in Li Junzhi's rebellion plan, or what kind of help he provided to Li Junzhi, Tang Changyu naively thought that if Liubin came with troops, he could persuade him to give up, it would be a good ending.

In the cell late at night, Wanyan and Zhao Nan sat side by side, the two were speechless, but they did not feel sleepy at all. The concubine and the general, who were still high above yesterday, have been reduced to prisoners today, and in the face of an uncertain future, there is a feeling of dependence between the two.

But now in Zhao Nan's heart, thinking about Mingfu, I don't know where she went, whether she is safe now, whether she has done anything stupid, whether she is doing well.

"Today, Li Shimin asked me a question." Wanyan said suddenly.

Zhao Nan looked at Wanyan's eyes, her eyes were even deeper in this deep darkness, Zhao Nan still remembered the scene when she first saw Wanyan, at that time she danced in the city, overwhelming the crowd, attracting everyone's attention, her eyes were so clear and bright, so that Zhao Nan fell, but now, Zhao Nan can no longer see the original pair of eyes.

She's getting so complicated now.

"What?" Zhao Nan asked.
