And at the moment. The king who was praised by the people. But it is like a lifeless vine. Sick and sick in bed.

The minister just called. Tang Li woke up. When I saw the boat. in his eyes. There was a flash of light.

"Boat. You're here. He laughed. It was rare at the time.

Lian Zhou stepped forward: "Your Majesty ......"

"Don't call the emperor. Just call me Tang Li. If you like it. It's the same as Xiao Meng. Call me Ali. ”

He's so good. I didn't even care about my self-professes.

He didn't seem to have changed at all. It's still under the sunset. Pick up her pure boy. Peach blossom eyes. There is still a blooming flame.

He seems to have changed a lot. He was only in his twenties. There are some thin crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. When you laugh, there are shallow ripples. A few strands of gray hair reflecting the sideburns.

Lian Zhou sat on the chair next to Tang Li's bed. The voice was a little harsh: "Did something happen?" ”

Tang Li avoided talking about it. Smiling and looking at Lianzhou. He touched her head lovingly: "The boat is getting more and more beautiful. ”

His hands are so cold, so cold. So skinny, so skinny.

Lian Zhou pursed his lips. Can't say a word.

Then. A eunuch came in from outside. That demeanor was quite arrogant: "May I ask the emperor if he has any unfulfilled wishes." ”

Tang Li smiled miserably: "I said I want to see Xiao Meng." Uncle Meng is willing. ”

The eunuch sharpened his voice: "The emperor should change his wish." ”

"I don't have any wishes. You go out. ”

The eunuch glanced at Lian Zhou with a squinting expression. Then he smiled lightly and withdrew.

Lian Zhou frowned: "You want to see Meng Hui." Why Meng Jingru's approval. Aren't you the emperor? ”

Tang Li coughed twice. Nutation. Don't speak.

Lian Zhou looked at Tang Li's sick appearance. The temptation asked, "You all this." Is it caused by Meng Jingru? Lian Zhou sorted out the news that Meng Jingru had heard before, leaning towards the government and the opposition, and openly flouting the imperial power. He has too much power. Do you want to monopolize this country? ”

Tang Li smiled: "It's not like I didn't suspect him. Just hopefully. You can still trust him. He helped me in such a difficult time. He asked Xiao Meng to accompany me to Xuan Yin as a hostage. He had gone out of his way to support me. Just ......"

It's just that he's going to raise the butcher's knife against me eventually.

Words after the twist. He couldn't say anything.

Lian Zhou felt his heart shake violently. Just look at his pale and fragile words.

"That. Does Meng Hui know? ”

"I don't know." His expression. It's a firmness that Lianzhou has never seen before.

His eyes suddenly flashed with the bright colors of the past: "If only he knew." It must have been here a long time ago. He must have thought. I'm in the palace. Be emperor in peace. ”

Actually, Lian Zhou wanted to say. Meng Hui is this kind of person. Even if you know. It doesn't have to come.

Lian Zhou knows. Meng Hui was ambitious. Even if the emotion for Tang Li is not completely extinguished. For the sake of the country. For the sake of power. He could give up something.

The cunning rabbit died. Lackeys cooked. If you help Tang Li. Once Tang Li regained control of the country. It may not be as merciful as it is now.

She knows. A smart person like Meng Hui will make choices that are beneficial to him. It is to be shackled. Or dominate the world.

Even that person. It is a brother who has been side by side.

However, Tang Li muttered in a low voice: "I believe in Xiao Meng." Trust him. "There's no need for high-profile flaunting. It seems that Meng Hui is in his heart. It will always be as pure as it once was.

"Boat. Do you believe in Xiao Meng? ”

Lian Zhou heard this. Out of the mentality of not wanting to stimulate Tang Li. Gently "um": "Yes." He won't leave you alone. ”

Tang Li's eyes were very keen. He looked at Lianzhou and smiled palely: "I can see it." You still have a lot of prejudices against him. ”

Stunned. Noncommittal.

Tang Li's words changed. asked, "Xiaozhou." I am in your heart. What kind of existence it is. ”

Today's weather seems to be a bit overcast. The wind rattled the windows of the dormitory. Empty time. There are also two occasional echoes.

Lian Zhou said seriously: "You are the one who brought me a new life." Although I had some speculation about you at one point. But the facts still can't be changed. If it weren't for you who picked me up that day. I'm long gone. ”

"So. You're grateful to me, right? His voice was low. There seems to be a hint of a smile.

Lian Zhou nodded: "Thank you." Unsurpassed gratitude. ”

"And how much gratitude I have. There is also a lot of hatred and resentment towards Xiao Meng. Right. You will never forget the harm he did to you. Right. ”

Lian Zhou thought for a moment. Or to tell the truth: "That's right." For Meng Hui's such an inhumane move. I was never able to let go. ”

"If I say. It was Xiao Meng who asked me to rescue you. Can you be less hateful? ”

Lian Zhou smiled: "Are you defending him for something?" ”

Tang Li saw Lian Zhou with a look of disbelieving. He let out a long sigh. "It's true." Though he did not say explicitly that he would save you. But he was prompting me. ”

He continued: "Whip you. On the one hand, it was to arouse the anger of the Song family. Draw them out to get a topographic map of Xichuan. On the other hand. He's hinting at me. I get it. He turned his gaze to the wind-blown window. Secluded road. "Because before. At the time of Xuanyin. We've been whipped like that, too. So such whipping. It is the cruelest thing that Xiao Meng thinks. Because I understand that kind of suffering. So he never did that to people. ”

Lian Zhou's eyes widened slightly.

Tang Lifu looked at her: "At dusk." I'm usually at Chunsheng Pavilion. So. He chose that time. Execution of you. He doesn't really want you dead. ”

Lian Zhou suddenly pursed his lips. It's hard to describe the complexity. It's hard to think about.

She used to be in the Meng Mansion. accidentally looked at Meng Hui's back. Hideous wounds. It is the mark of the whipping.

If what Tang Li said is true. So. She just thought it was ridiculous.

She hated him for so long for that reason. He never told her. Even if. It's time to fall in love.

He is forbearant and hidden. I still thought she was smart enough to see the big picture in mind.

Whatever the mood. Anyway. Past. It's in the past. She didn't argue with Tang Li either. Then believe Meng Hui. Believe in someone you once loved. Not too much of a jerk.

Just like that later. What's the point?

The world has changed. Maybe go back to the beginning? Missed. Pick it up again. There will still be the heartbeat of the past. What was once unswerving to death?

The wind outside the window blows through the leaves. A few remnants of leaves rolled in the air. It's like a snowflake. In a fragile and quiet posture. Gradually, he fell into the emperor's bedroom. Moment. The world seems to have stopped sounding.
