220 Cold Palace
"It turns out that he is the son of General Cui...... Liang Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "General Cui is the most trusted general under his uncle, and he is also loyal to his uncle and the court." That incident was caused by Xuan......"
As he spoke, Liang Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed and he looked at Yan Shuangfei. "Qiqi wants him to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard?"
Yan Shuangfei no longer concealed it, nodded very seriously, and said, "Brother Xuan, when you were still the prince, the Cui family was loyal to you. And that incident caused the Cui family to suffer a catastrophe. Now, God has let Minghui come to us, whether it is to appreciate his courage behind the door, or to make up for him, for Minghui, we should reuse it. ”
"Can he be trusted?" Liang Xuan paused, still a little uneasy.
Yan Shuangfei frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "Minghui's family are all loyal ministers, and they once risked their lives to assassinate Liang Ye - such a loyal and daring person, can Brother Xuan still not believe it?" ”
Liang Xuan's expression eased somewhat, he held Yan Shuangfei's hand, and chuckled: "It seems that Qiqi admires that Minghui very much, since this is the case, let him take over the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard." ”
"Really?!" Yan Shuangfei was overjoyed, with an unconcealed excitement on his face.
Liang Xuan was slightly stunned, but immediately returned to the naturalness of his face, he smiled and bowed, and his eyes did not leave Yan Shuangfei. "Qiqi, as long as you can trust it, Xuan will do it. Just because, Xuan believes in you. ”
Yan Shuangfei's smile froze, and he lowered his head as if concealing. But just as she was out of her mind, she heard Liang Xuan ask softly: "Qiqi, in your heart, is the throne important?" ”
Yan Shuangfei was stunned again, looked at Liang Xuan in astonishment, met his gentle and harmless gaze, and really didn't know what he meant by asking this question.
"Why did Brother Xuan suddenly ask this question?" Yan Shuangfei smiled coveredly, and did not answer directly.
Liang Xuan did not shake the topic because of Yan Shuangfei's deliberate evasion, he clenched Yan Shuangfei's hand tightly, and there was a little expectation in his eyes. "Qiqi, if I lay down the throne, are you willing to leave with me?"
Leave?
Yan Shuangfei's eyes flashed, but he saw that Liang Xuan's face was sincere, not like he was joking. Why did he suddenly ask such a question, did something happen? Or did he become suspicious of what had happened recently?
Yan Shuangfei's long thinking and silence made Liang Xuan can't help but smile bitterly, the strength in his hand is a little smaller, and his gaze gradually moves away from Yan Shuangfei's face.
"Hehe, it's just that 'the high place is not cold', and Xuan just mentioned it indiscriminately, which made Qiqi laugh." Without waiting for Yan Shuangfei to respond, Liang Xuan took the initiative to change the topic, as if he had just mentioned it casually.
"Nothing." Yan Shuangfei finally walked out of the thick incomprehension and suspicion, and recovered to an indifferent expression. She pursed her lips and added to the unfinished question she had just answered. "Brother Xuan, the lord of a country, is naturally hard, Qiqi understands your feelings. It's just that for the sake of the people of the world, you must be a good emperor, and you can't have the idea of wavering casually. ”
This is a response to that question, but it is not answered positively. Yan Shuangfei's heart was very confused, and she didn't know how to explain her current mood.
It is said that "the bitter sea is boundless, and the shore is the back" - the bitter sea has no boundary, how can you see the shore when you turn back? This is really a paradox.
If this was still a few months ago, Liang Xuan had not planned the "bitter meat plan" of rebellion, and said such a thing, she would definitely agree without hesitation - even if she gave up her glory and wealth, even if her future was confused, even if she wanted to deviate from her destiny, as long as he said this, she would leave with him.
It's just that time has passed, and now things are wrong. Since that time, Liang Xuan chose to let go of her hand for the sake of the throne and let her face the fear of the unknown alone, it is doomed to the end of the two of them today.
The falling flowers are independent, and the swifts fly - it turns out that this sentence has long written their story.
Fortunately, God treated her so well that she met Duan Qifeng. This time, she will never waver again.
"Brother Xuan, you haven't slept well for Qiqi's business in the past few days, so let's rest later. Qiqi didn't go back to the general's mansion for a few days, and staying in the palace for a long time was also unruly, so Qiqi retired first. As he spoke, Yan Shuangfei withdrew his hand from Liang Xuan's hand, but the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Liang Xuan's gaze was fixed on Yan Shuangfei's face again, he nodded, but said very seriously: "Qiqi, after this matter settles, you can come to the palace......"
Yan Shuangfei was stunned, she didn't know what Liang Xuan's words meant, now that Li Ying's threat to him was gone, he no longer had to worry about Li Ying's feelings, and he didn't have to endure the pressure of the Li family anymore - that is to say, her time was running out, and she had to fight quickly.
"Hmm." Putting away the surging in his heart, Yan Shuangfei pretended to be happy and nodded in response.
Liang Xuan also chuckled, didn't say anything more, just briefly told her to pay attention to safety, and sent two guards to escort Yan Shuangfei away.
Not long after Yan Shuangfei walked out of the imperial study, he dismissed the escort guards on the grounds that he wanted to walk alone in the palace, and quietly came to the cold palace where Li Ying was held.
The cold palace is really as bleak and deserted as shown on TV, although it is already autumn, but it is better than the depression of winter.
There was only one old woman over sixty years old who was responsible for guarding the cold palace, and after Yan Shuangfei identified herself to her, she opened the door and brought Yan Shuangfei in.
The layout of the room is very simple, but it is neat and clean than Yan Shuangfei imagined. The old lady looked docile and kind, presumably the environment of this cold palace was also cleaned by her. Compared with those minions in the palace who bully the good and fear the evil, and tend to be inflammatory, this old lady is much kinder, and Li Ying can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune to be able to have her to take care of her.
At the table, Li Ying sat there quietly, wiping a guqin that seemed to be made of the finest materials. Her quiet appearance was very unexpected by Yan Shuangfei.
As if he had known that Yan Shuangfei would come, Li Ying didn't look up, so he sneered and said, "Heh, you're here." ”
Yan Shuangfei was only stunned for a moment, then smiled back, sat down next to her, and nodded in response: "Well, the queen mother knows that I am coming?" ”
"I'm not a queen anymore, thanks to Mrs. Yunqi, now that I have fallen into such desolation, why should Mrs. Yunqi deliberately mock me." Li Ying wiped the guqin by herself, and her movements did not stop for a moment. She spoke lightly, but her tone was as sharp as usual.
Yan Shuangfei was not affected by her coldness, but smiled naturally. "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and in the final analysis, you have ended up in such desolation, because of whom?"
(It is expected to end at the end of the month, cover your face and ask for all kinds of flower tickets and comments~)
