Hearing this, Zhao Xiangling was slightly stunned.

She understood that what Li Luo said was not unreasonable, and she had also considered this issue. But as long as she is careful, she will definitely not ......

"Let me ask you, the throne and Li Che, who do you choose?" Li Luo asked.

Zhao Xiangling opened his mouth, but found that he could not answer the question.

Li Luo smiled, raised his glass and saluted her: "Look, you can't say it, because you know this answer very well in your heart." ”

The words are like needles, piercing straight into the heart, Zhao Xiangling's eyes are dim and there is no excuse. She knew that it was useless to say more, because she would indeed choose the throne without hesitation.

In fact, there is no choice at all. As an emperor, she can't ignore the world.

"Do you hate me?" Zhao Xiangling said.

"Nope." When Li Luo heard this question, he laughed lightly twice, "It's not your fault, this is your duty as an emperor." That's why I objected to Xiao Che looking for you in the first place. ”

Taking a sip of wine, Li Luo looked at the crystal wine and said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, Xiao Che said that he wanted to protect you, I just thought it was a joke, how did he participate in the imperial examination and step by step into his official career, I realized that he really planned to do this, and he had to do it." ”

"Others have been cold for ten years, in order to win the name before and after his death, and he is for a promise, a promise that has never been told to you."

"If he can give up Zuo Yuan as a national teacher, you can protect him, but what if he is the prime minister of the ruling and opposition powers? Zhao Xiangling, can you still protect him? ”

Zhao Xiangling was silent. She knew it was an unsolvable problem, but she hadn't come that far, and no one could tell.

"I can see it better than Rongyue, so I can't like you, not because of how you are, but because you are the emperor, and Xiao Che happens to like you, that's all."

Lowering his head, Zhao Xiangling bit his lip, and said after a while: "If you think we are not suitable, I can divide ......"

"Not necessarily." Li Luo stopped her words and raised his hand to rest on her shoulder, "No one knows what will happen until misfortune comes." This is his choice, and you have the right to choose, I am not you, and I will not interfere with your decision. ”

With a shallow smile, Li Luo raised his eyes and saw a bright moon in the sky: "Besides, luck and misfortune are still left to myself for evaluation after all." ”

Who can say for sure what the future holds?

"Uncle Li, I ......"

"To zero, you will be happy." Getting up, Li Luo's eyes finally loosened when he looked at Zhao Xiangling, he didn't look at her for too long, and walked away with the pot.

He will only be truly happy if you are happy. In that case, why bother?

The moonlight sprinkled on the wine glass, Zhao Xiangling raised his head and drank it all......

===

In the few days that Zhao Xiangling left the capital, a major event happened in the southern country.

Letan Khan led 3,000 light cavalry straight to the imperial city, and ordered the princess of Letan to lead 100,000 troops to stand by at the junction of the two countries.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

When he got the news, Zhao Xiangling was fighting with Li Ruiqing in the sedan chair, and when he heard that the two immediately turned over and got on the horse, he ordered the convoy to move quickly, and the two of them left first.

"This Retan Khan is very courageous, and he dares to ride three thousand horses into my imperial city." Zhao smiled and waved the reins.

Li Ruiqing rode beside her and said in a low voice: "I heard that Nachakeli is quite pleased with the princess, and now the real ruler of the kingdom is not Retan Khan, but this princess. ”

Zhao Xiangling squeezed the reins. If that's the case, it's a bit tricky. Letamb's 100,000 elite soldiers are on the frontier, and even if she urgently deploys troops now, it will be too late.

Besides, the kingdom is good at war, and when she gathers an army, at least two cities will be lost on the border.

So for the South, the best thing is not to go to war. If you want to come to Letan, you won't want to solve it by force.

For the kingdom of Aki, it is not too difficult to replace an emperor.

"I remember that you discussed with Chen Beici to bring Chalik into the capital, where is he now?"

Li Ruiqing replied: "He has already entered Beijing, and after thinking about it, I will arrange him to enter Dali Temple and temporarily serve as an idle post." ”

"Dali Temple?" Zhao Xiangling turned his head to look at him, "Without paperwork, how can you transfer him in?" ”

Dali Temple is a directly subordinate institution of the capital, and without Zhao Xiangling's jade seal, it is not allowed to raise or transfer the main figures.

Tsarik's identity is special, and he is not an object that can be arranged casually.

Li Ruiqing coughed lightly, as if he remembered something. He lowered his eyes to look at the road and said slowly: "You forgot, there was a time when the imperial seal was in my hand. ”

In the three days that Zhao Xiangling disappeared, he did hand over the imperial seal to Li Ruiqing for safekeeping. So, that's what he did at that time?

"Ahem." Zhao Xiangling restrained his smile and said with a straight face, "Li Aiqing, you are so bold!" ”

"Hmm." Li Ruiqing lowered his head slightly, and his voice was full of laughter, "The minister is indeed bold, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

There were too many things at the beginning, and the intricacies between him and Zhao Xiangling were complicated, where did he remember to tell her about it? If it weren't for Letan's arrival, he might have had to remember this man for a while.

Zhao Xiangling smiled and said, "What does Zuo Xiang think he should be guilty of? ”

"If you use the imperial seal without permission, you should be punished for the crime."

You know that. Zhao Xiangling tilted his head, saw that Li Ruiqing had no nervous look on his face, and asked, "You are not afraid of ......."

"Your Majesty wants to die, but you don't necessarily need a reason." Li Ruiqing smiled. A trumped-up crime is also a crime, besides, what does Zhao Xiangling want to kill him for?

"This capital sin can be avoided, but there is no escapability from the living sin." Zhao Xiangling stretched out his hand, tied the reins to the horseskin whip and handed it to Li Ruiqing, "Then bother Zuo Xiang to take me back to the palace." ”

Li Ruiqing took it, knowing that she was disgusted with the excuse that she was too tired to drive the horse and was unwilling to move. That's it, don't bother with her.

"Ruiqing, do you have any snacks on you?" Zhao Xiangling asked again, "I'm hungry and want to eat sugar." ”

Li Ruiqing sighed. He held the reins in both hands, and where did he give birth to a third hand to bring her food?

Zhao Xiangling saw his thoughts, stepped on his horse, jumped behind Li Ruiqing, and wrapped his neck around him to touch his collar: "Then let me see, where did you put it?" ”

"Where do you touch!" Li Ruiqing looked up and saw Zhao Xiangling standing behind him and bowing his head and smiling at him.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Zhao Xiangling pursed his lips and laughed, "My hand slips ......"

Before he finished speaking, the world was spinning for a while, and before Zhao Xiangling could react, he was pulled by Li Ruiqing's arm and taken to the horse, and was pressed to sit down honestly.

"Zhao Xiangling!" Li Ruiqing rested his chin on her shoulder, tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "You have been very arrogant recently, do you know what price you have to pay for untying my robe without permission?" ”

Zhao Xiangling heard him whisper in his ear, and always felt that his face was blown a little hot, and he couldn't help but want to stay away a little: "Li Ruiqing, do you dare to cure my crimes?" You want to rebel and fail! ”

Letting Zhao Xiangling's horse go, Li Ruiqing freed his hand to wrap around Zhao Xiangling's waist: "Of course the minister doesn't dare." ”

As he spoke, he took Zhao Xiangling into his arms and told her to avoid it: "Your Majesty is the Supreme of Kowloon, and the minister is a left minister, how dare you offend Your Majesty?" ”
