His Royal Highness the King of Chu has never been a person who is good at changing his mind.

According to the words of the first emperor, he is even a rare person in the royal family who admits death, no matter who or what he does, once he is identified, most of them will be for a lifetime.

In the past, Xiao Di didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his temperament, but when facing Qin Libei, he felt guilty.

Qin Libei waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for an answer, and when he was about to open his mouth to urge, he suddenly thought of it - silence itself is the answer.

The gusts of cold wind seemed to be exploiting the loopholes, only blowing into people's hearts, and he smiled bitterly twice, as if mocking and sighing: "Your Highness...... You've never changed! ”

Eight years ago, eight years later, they also focused on personal feelings and disregarded justice.

Looking at the hatred and helplessness in Qin Libei's eyes, Xiao Di couldn't bear it in his heart.

He wanted to tell Qin Libei: Back then, Gu Duwu plotted to kill Pei Yaoge, which involved Qin's death, you think you know more than others, you think you know the whole truth, but in fact, it is far less.

And it's precisely the ones you don't know that matter.

"I told you eight years ago that the gates of the Shogunate will always be open to you. Today, the king will add another sentence-" He said solemnly: "If you must seek justice for your cause, this king's life is here, and you can take it at any time." ”

"Your Highness is really?" Qin Libei was about to laugh angrily at him, "You say this because you expect me not to do this, right?" ”

Xiao Di wanted to explain, and when he said this, he did think so. But this explanation also seems to be very weak.

After pondering for a moment, he sighed lightly and reminded, "Gu Duwu is dead. ”

Yes, he died, died of illness, and before he died, he even had his title restored.

A sinner who designed to murder two important ministers of the court ended up like this.

"Gu Duwu died comfortably, behind him, the wind Gu family, the scenery is still the same." Qin Libei said coldly.

He said: "Your Highness, back then, you tried to protect the Gu clan, perhaps in order to preserve your power when you lost your position. I have complained about you, but for your long-term, I admit it and endure it. But it's been eight years now, and today's you, even if you don't have the Gu family, are still enough to fight against the dust. Are you still unwilling to give my brother and Yao Ge justice? ”

After a long time, Xiao Di turned sideways, no longer looked at him, and only said in a low voice: "This justice, this king can't afford to pay it back." ”

Qin Libei's heart was shocked.

What can't you afford it? You just don't want to pay it back. He thought.

"Is it because of Empress Renyi?" After a while, he suddenly asked: "Do you hate her, because Pei Yaoge is her own brother, are you willing to ignore justice?" ”

Xiao Di's hand behind him was clenched into a fist, and when he arrived, he didn't answer Qin Libei's words.

“…… I understand. Qin Libei took two steps back, bowed solemnly to him and said, "Your Highness, this is the last time the minister will disturb you, and the minister will never ask this question again." ”

You have to protect the Gu family, okay, for the sake of knowing the grace of my youth, I will swallow this hatred and never mention it again.

Only, this is also the last time, I give in for you.

He said: "The gate of the shogunate of the king of Chu, Libei has no chance in this life, I hope that in the next life, there will be a chance to serve the monarch as the lord, and then ...... I wish that there would be only kindness between me and my lord. ”

With that, he turned away and never looked back.

Xiao Di stood alone for a long time before returning to the tent.

After entering the account, he walked directly to the bookcase, trying to sort out the half of the books he received, but when he looked at it, he saw a note pressed under the paperweight.

Xiao Di was suspicious, vigilantly picked up the note, and called the guards outside the tent to ask who had come to the big tent when he was away.

"Zhang Tinghou, the Duke of Jiyang County also sent someone to come...... Oh, and Mr. Yiyuan also came with his daughter. ”

Gu Zijun, Xiang Tao's person, Mr. Yiyuan's father and daughter?

Xiao Di sent the person down, and while opening the note, he thought that none of these three groups of people would leave a note on his case.

At this moment, he only felt strange in his heart, but after seeing the small characters on the note, His Royal Highness the King of Chu trembled all over, and his feet were unstable.

The note reads: The dove occupies the magpie's nest, and the princess of Chu today is actually the princess of the past.

In just one sentence, the meaning is too easy to understand. Xiao Di turned these sixteen words over and over again and repeated them in his heart several times, his consciousness seemed to be scattered by this note in an instant, and he didn't know how long it took before he gathered back again.

…… Is this really what you understand?

Is this true, or is it fake?

This...... Could it be true?

Who left this note?

Countless questions poured out like a spring, making him dizzy, giving him a headache, making him rejoice just now, but he didn't dare to rejoice.

“…… Come...... Come! ”

The guards, who had just gone out, heard these two shouts at first glance, and thought that something was wrong, so they immediately carried the red tassel gun inside, but when they looked around, there was still only one person in the entire big tent, His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"What does Your Highness command?"

His Royal Highness the King of Chu had red eyes, and the blood all over his body seemed to be cold again, and then it was a little hotter again. He stood up and said, "Chuan Wei Chaoyang, set off immediately and return to Beijing!" ”

Dust, the palace of the king of Chu.

Instant Yu just received a letter sent back by His Royal Highness the King of Chu for 800 miles, thinking that there was something urgent, but she didn't want to, the letter asked her about the princess's current situation, and the second was to ask her to take care of the princess.

Instant Rain pouted reluctantly, put the letter away, and then instructed the porter, prepared the carriage and horses, and planned to go to Zhaoye Temple to see the master.

"Sister!"

She had just sent away the messenger, and Qingchen jumped out of nowhere, and with an astonishing call, she almost didn't scare the instant rain out of her soul.

"You girl...... Instant Yu turned around, rubbed her heart, and complained helplessly: "Why don't you know how to be quiet!" In broad daylight, I should be the hell! ”

Qingchen grinned, leaned over and took her hand: "Sister Instant Rain, don't be so serious, in this case, Your Highness is right." But your temperament is not much better than mine, so don't laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps! ”

Instant Rain rolled her eyes, and was about to roll up her arms and sleeves to clean her up.

The two laughed for a while, and Qingchen got to the point: "Sister, I just heard that you are going to Zhaoye Temple to see the princess, take me with you, I haven't seen the princess for a few days!" ”

"Think?"

Qingchen nodded like pounded garlic.

Instant Yu snorted and teased her along the way: "Either you go, I won't go." ”

Qingchen thought about it, but felt that it was feasible: "It's also possible!" Anyway, my sister has so many things to do all day long, and I am tired of tossing and turning, I am a busy person who has nothing to do, and I can share your worries, but I can't ask for it! ”

Instant Yu smiled: "You are really beating snakes with sticks, and whatever words come to your mouth once, you can listen to them thousands of times!" ”

"Oh, I only have such a few strengths, I don't show it on weekdays, do you still keep it for the New Year!" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, so she asked, "By the way, my sister has been staying in the house for a while, why don't you go to the other garden often?" As she spoke, she looked around and asked sneakily, "Is the guest gone?" ”

Instant rain snorted, and said in her heart, it really made her guess.

A few days ago, Mr. Lou said that he had something to do, and he wanted to leave for a while, and he would come back before the end of the work division in the palace of the king of Chu.

Fortunately, His Highness did not say anything at the time. It's just that now that the palace master is about to leave, there is no news from Mr. Lou...... At this moment, when Qingchen mentioned it, Instant Rain was also worried in his heart.

"That's it, let's talk about it then......" she muttered to herself, and then she was relieved, and asked Qingchen to go back and prepare, "Set off in half an hour, if you are slow, I won't wait for you!" ”

Qingchen clapped her hands happily, called her good sister twice, and ran back to clean up.

Instant Rain looked at her back, shook her head and smiled. On the way back to the room, he saw Li Lone.

On the pavilion bridge, Li Lin sat on the railing, looking deeply at the direction of the edict.

Instant Rain hesitated for a long time, but finally failed to walk behind him without being able to turn a blind eye.

"Cousin," she said, stepping into the pavilion bridge, "it's cold in winter, what are you doing here alone?" ”

Li Lin glanced at her for a while, and then withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "The eyeliner of the edict only came out." ”

"The emperor is going to do something to Jiang Yi today."

Instant Rain's heart moved.

This means that if Li Lin doesn't make a move, today will be Jiang Yi's death?

"How?" she asked. ”

Li Lin sneered very lightly and said, "Poisoning, and then lying about violent death, the old method is not new." ”

"Then ...... you" she frowned, and seemed to be a little nervous as she asked, "You've already decided?" ”

"Hmm."

“…… Don't save? ”

Li Xiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"I don't know why my brother gave me this." He said, "Maybe Jiang Yi's life, he also has a hard time choosing between staying or not, so ...... I left the choice to me. ”

"I hope I live up to him."

Instant Rain felt that His Highness probably didn't think so.

Jiang Yi has no special significance to His Royal Highness, what is really meaningful to His Royal Highness is Li Lone.

She was silent for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Childe, can I ask, why didn't you save it?" ”

Li Lin turned her head to look at her, and in the face of his gaze, she asked again: "Is it for Guohou?" ”

No, Li Xiao was silent for a moment, but he shook his head.

"I can't talk about it." He said: "Since he recognized Xiao Zhu, this is the path he has chosen, he is planning for the Lord, running for the Lord, and fighting for the Lord, all of which are his duty." ”

"The ministers live for the Lord, and they must die for the Lord. Start and finish, what do I have to meddle in. ”
