Xiang Tao looked at her silently for a long time.

"Your face—

Everyone says that you look like Queen Pei, but I can't see that you look a little like her. ”

His eyes were deep, and every word hid distant jealousy: "Your face, alive, is the rebirth of Zhao Xian." ”

Is that really the case?

Pei Yaowei had never seen Zhao Xian's original face, but even if he was the main owner who had been facing that face for nearly twenty years, he didn't think so.

"Yes." Zhao Yan took a step forward and pondered: "Probably, this is also the opinion of the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." ”

“…… Mr. One Yuan? Xiang Tao frowned, not understanding why he would stand up and say such a sentence.

Looking at Princess Chu on the side again, after her eyes turned on the two of them, she silently retreated.

Zhao Pai stood by the river with his hands in his hands, and recalled: "It was here that the people of the county prince forced me into this turbulent river. ”

Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"You ......"

As if unaware of his consternation, Zhao Yan looked back at him, and continued: "With your temperament, you dared to take this step to take my life, which shows how angry I am with you.

It's just that I don't understand - are you going to kill me for your brother, for your clan, or for yourself? ”

I don't know how long it took, and the person on the other side squeezed out a difficult voice from his throat: "...... Zhao Xian? ”

Zhao Yan took off his hat and saluted him with his chin bowed, "Jiyang County Prince, it's rude." ”

"You ......"

Zhao Xian thought that after Xiang Tao knew the truth, he would either show his poison to himself, or he would be happy because of his appearance.

But Xiang Tao's reaction at the moment was greatly unexpected by him.

"That's ...... so"

"That's how it ......"

He laughed stupidly, not knowing what he was laughing at or who he was laughing at.

Zhao Yan asked, "The county prince seems to have an enlightenment?" ”

Xiang Tao thought that today, he should indeed understand.

He thought of that year, after the marriage and poisoning of Fangshi, suddenly one day, the woman who had always respected and feared him for more than ten years, suddenly changed her old ways and became close to him.

During that time, he used to regard it as the fastest time in his life, but now he thinks about it......

"She's for you."

He looked at Zhao Gang and said in a tone that couldn't be more defeated: "She is close to me because she found out that you are still alive, but you are no longer you......

So, she needs to know the reason and know what went wrong.

"Where is she?" Zhao Xian's eyes were gloomy, and he asked word by word, "What happened to her?" ”

Xiang Tao smiled weakly and told him, "She's dead." ”

This answer, Zhao Yan is not completely unprepared, but ......

Pain can never be 'prepared' to be removed.

By this time, Xiang Tao was already a little untenable.

He took a deep breath, his eyes empty, "She pretended to flatter me by my side, and while I relaxed my guard against her, she dug through my correspondence with my subordinates, knowing that I have been sending people to look for you all these years for the sake of the sentence 'I want to see people in life and corpses in death'." ”

He looked at Zhao Yan again.

"She knows everything. Not only that, but she also avenged you in her own way. ”

Xiang Tao still remembers how Xiang Tao felt when he went to Nanyuan on the night of his wedding, pushed open the door, and saw her body that had cooled down.

"I've lost a lot of people in my life, I've been powerless to do a lot of things, but I've never had a more uncomfortable moment than that moment."

He said: "She has been shrewd for so much time in her life, or for your ......"

"How did she die?"

On the way back to the dusty capital, Pei Yao pondered for a long time before he cautiously asked this sentence.

"The poison of the spotted frog."

Zhao Yan said: "She committed suicide with the poison of the colorful frog, took revenge on Xiang Tao, and fulfilled her ......"

Only...... Let him, who now knows the truth, be at a loss.

"I have been responsible for her all my life, and I have not been able to protect her well-being...... I made her suffer so much that she couldn't even use her last name...... What can I do to make amends for her? ”

Pei Yaowei looked at him in such pain, and suddenly regretted a little - regret that he insisted on dissecting the truth at the beginning.

But this regret only lasted for a moment.

"You're still in love." She said: "You give her a home and protect her well-being, and Mrs. Shen will have a spirit in the sky, and she will be at ease." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, did not speak, only took the hat in his hand and put it on his head.

When the carriage was about to reach the city gate, it suddenly stopped.

"Chaoyang?" Pei Yao lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, Wei Chaoyang looked serious, and said: "Princess, there are changes in Beijing." His Royal Highness sent a message to his subordinates to escort you to Zhaoye Temple first. ”

As soon as she heard this, Pei Yao's face changed.

"What's the 'change'? You made it clear to me. ”

"Specifically, the subordinates are not clear now." He said: "However, the subordinates speculate that it is probably related to the death of Li Bai, the commander of the Dark Guard Division the day before yesterday. ”

"What?!" Pei Yaowei was taken aback, "Li Bai is dead?" ”

The words landed, and before Wei Chaoyang could say anything, she had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of something.

That day, in Yuze Palace, when he confronted Xiao Zhu, he did deliberately separate him from Li Bai, but did Xiao Zhu kill this number one henchman who had followed him for several years just by virtue of his own words?

Li Bai ...... Really dead? ”

Wei Chaoyang bowed his head and said: "There will never be a mistake, according to the people under Mo Yan, Li Bai was secretly executed by the emperor." ”

Pei Yao closed her eyes deeply, and her heart was mixed.

"Let's go." She said: "According to His Highness's wishes, go to Zhaoye Temple." ”

Wei Chaoyang clenched his fists and led the way.

At the foot of the Fern Mountain.

Xiao Yun came in armor and stopped beside Xiao Di, "Brother, Brother Changchu sent a message that the crisis in Beijing has been removed, and the secret guards who went to attack the Chu Palace's palace have all been ambushed. As he spoke, he looked at the majestic palace on the hill, his eyes darker than the night: "It's time for us to do it." ”

After a while, I saw Xiao Di nod his head slightly.

Xiao Yun got the order, and in an instant, the blood surged, raised his arm and gave the order, leading the three thousand dead soldiers behind him to go up to Ruishan Mountain.

Outside the palace gate, Xiang Yao listened to the sound of approaching footsteps, and his brows frowned a little.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu." He stepped forward and clasped his fists and bowed, "His Royal Highness King Huai'an." ”

Xiao Di smiled and returned the salute: "The general has worked hard, so far, you can also go back to rest." ”

Xiang Yao glanced at the people behind him, and then fell on him again.

He implied a reminder, with anxiety everywhere: "I hope that His Royal Highness will make a promise, and he will not be disappointed." ”

"Nature." Xiao Di said: "The general fulfilled his promise, helped the first time he was released from the edict, relieved the danger of the siege of the Chu Palace, and contributed to my long drive into the Yuze Palace." This king will also follow the example of Ji Bu and ensure that the Zun will die a righteous life. ”

Xiang Yao took a deep breath, bowed again, and turned sideways to the side to make way for him.

When he walked outside the Anyuan Palace, Xiao Di stopped.

"Yun'er," he said, "you wait here." ”

"Brother......" Xiao Yun worried, "You can't go in alone!" Who knows if he has a backhand! ”

Xiao Di didn't say much to him, only gave him a look, full of non-negotiable beaks.

Xiao Yun stood there reluctantly, watching Xiao Di push open the door of An Yuan Palace.

Xiao sat upright on the throne and waited for him to come.

"Heh......" Looking at Xiao Di, he laughed, it was originally sarcasm, but then it turned into self-deprecation.

He stretched out his arms and said, "I was wearing this, but I was waiting for the Dark Guard to bring you here so that I could see you off." ”

However, when Xiao Di entered the hall here, when he saw his armor and his frank appearance, he knew that he still underestimated him.

"I don't want to, it's here, or I'm losing......"

Xiao Di hadn't seen Xiao Zhu for some time, and he never thought that now he had been tortured like this.

If you have to say anything, it is like an oil lamp that is about to burn dry, dark and haggard, and lifeless.

He stepped aside and sat down.

"Is that what you want?"

"Ignoring karma and karma, insisting on changing one's life against the sky, the well-being of most of his life, in exchange for the life of the emperor in the past ten years-" He asked Xiao Zhu: "Is it worth it?" ”

Xiao Chai laughed hard and said, "Of course you can say it's not worth it." ”

——In his cognition, in this world, there is only Xiao Di, and it is not worth it to be able to treat these as these.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth as if he was confused, and suddenly asked: "Third brother, do you know that I used to ...... I envy you very much. ”

After thinking about it, he corrected again: "I have always envied you. ”

Xiao Di was silent, wanting to laugh, but tried his best to hold back.

He bowed, "I know." ”

Xiao Chai also bowed his head.

"yes, you should know." He sighed, "Who among these brothers and sisters would not envy you and Princess Rongxuan......

From the middle palace, the children who really got the love of their parents and were looked down upon by the first emperor -

That's these two people.

"Pei Yaowei—"

He slowly mentioned the name, and at the same time turned his head, catching Xiao Di's gaze.

"I know she hates me," he said. I also know that what she hates most is my suspicion. But third brother, do you know...... I wasn't like that. ”

Xiao Di's eyes moved slightly.

After thinking about it, he asked, "What are you like?" ”

Xiao Chai smiled and sighed, closed his eyes and said, "I don't remember." ”

"I just remember that I used to envy you so much......

I envy you as a prince, but you can still be endowed with monstrous love and endless trust by your father.

However, suddenly one day, you, Xiao Jingze's favorite son, the son who has been regarded as his successor since birth, can abandon you without hesitation for the sake of his country. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Di's heart trembled.

Xiao Chai asked him again: "Do you know when my life changed?" ”

"It was the day I knew he had abandoned you."
