"One of the things my mother often says is that it is my honor to be an apprentice of a national teacher." The young man smiled, and his tone was calm, "Yes, this is my honor, and I think so too, so I keep telling myself that this is an honor that others can't ask for." ”

But there is probably no second person in the world who wants such an honor.

"Your mother...... Do you hate her? Zixi asked.

"Hate?" Duguxi raised his eyes, seeming to be a little surprised, "What is hate?" ”

Zixi was speechless.

"She is my mother, the one who gave birth to me." The young man smiled lightly, "My life was given by her, how can I hate her?" ”

Although, if given a choice, he wished he had never been in this world.

The young man didn't say this, but Zixi saw sadness in his eyes.

It is often said that it is better to die than to live.

But some people, it's true...... I really want to die immediately, or never live.

The young man narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, will you come back tomorrow night?" ”

Zixi looked at him quietly, paused, and nodded: "Come." ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled brightly: "Your Majesty will get up early tomorrow, go to bed first." ”

Zixi nodded.

There was still a lamp, and the light was faint.

The boy opened his eyes and looked quietly at the roof.

In fact, he was very happy to hear Zixi's refusal to sleep with him, because it let him know that there are still people in this world who take their feelings seriously, instead of using their feelings as bargaining chips.

For three days in a row, Zixi rested in the young man's palace.

Although Qiu Yan strictly forbids palace people to talk nonsense, but in a place like the palace, the turmoil in the harem has always affected the court situation, and the outside began to speculate whether His Majesty was planted in the hands of the second prince of Great Xia.

After all, this young man is so beautiful, and now Chu Chen is leading the troops outside, and there is no one in the harem......

All of a sudden, many thoughts came to the courtiers' hearts.

Three days later, Zixi finally signed the contract of Great Xia, stamped it with a jade seal, and recognized the marriage and alliance between the Ling Kingdom and Great Xia.

Before Prince Wu left, he saw Duguxi for the last time: "Second prince, don't forget your mission. ”

In the past two days, he drank the medicine prescribed by Zixi, and his body and bones were better, and when Dugu Zhan saw him, the young man was sitting cross-legged in the palace to make tea.

"Please tell the master that I need nine months."

Prince Wu frowned: "Nine months? ”

The boy nodded: "I can make the empress fall in love with me, but something went wrong that night before, causing Your Majesty to be a little wary of me, and I need time to resolve Your Majesty's hostility towards me." ”

After a pause, he raised his eyes: "Chu Yucang attacked Nanling, and the war could not end in a short period of time." The master went out at the end of the year, and just after April of the new year, he sent a secret letter informing the empress to collect people. ”

Prince Wu frowned, his expression deep: "Nine months is too long. ”

"It's too short a time, and I'm not sure I'll be foolproof." The young man's tone was light, "Uncle Huang, don't forget the lessons from the past. ”

Lesson.

Prince Wu's face changed, thinking of Feng Weiyu before, he said coldly: "Feng Weiyu should still be in the Lingguo prison, if there is a chance in the future, I will rescue him, after all, he is also your imperial brother." ”

Although he has become an outcast now......

"I know." The young man buried his head and skillfully scalded the purple gauze tea cup with boiling water, the heat curled up, and the picturesque eyebrows and eyes were filled, "Uncle Huang can rest assured." ”

Prince Wu nodded, and finally admonished: "Don't forget your mother's life, as well as your own life." ”
