Zhao Yan is a person, wonderful oriental literature|ioge Zhao Yan seems to be docile, but after all, she walked out of the palace, if she is really innocent, Xia Yu can't be killed and doesn't believe it.

However, it is good that Zhao Yan is present, so as not to be embarrassed when Xia Yu and Zhao Lu are alone.

"Brother Huang is so ruthless. There are so many concubines far away, and people look through the autumn water, but you don't want to say anything. There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and I see that the rain and dew are all wet, and there is no special favor at all. Zhao Yan chuckled, her eyebrows were extremely gentle.

She coughed lightly twice, tightened her clothes, and looked up with a charming smile on her plain white face, looking at Xia Yu faintly. Her eyes were so complicated that Xia Yu couldn't read the meaning in her eyes for a while.

Zhao Lu smiled, but the smile could not reach the bottom of his eyes, "There is no special favor in the harem, and the previous dynasty can be peaceful." Isn't that what the Queen Mother said? I'm just doing it! ”

Xia Yu frowned, looking at the smile on Zhao Lu's lips, the colder it became.

"Why didn't Yan'er accompany the queen mother today, but came to the Royal Garden?" Zhao Lu asked.

Zhao Yan smiled, "I just came back from my mother's place, and I didn't feel very well, so I walked around." I accidentally ran into the imperial brother and Xia Nei. Earlier, Yan'er lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion for a period of time, and she had some friendship with Xia Nei, but now that Xia Nei has entered the palace, how can I avoid it. As he spoke, he looked at Xia Yu with a smile. Xia Nei waiter. You tell me? ”

"The princess is gracious, Xia Yu is ashamed." Xia Yu Bao smiled.

Some scenes should still be said.

Although Zhao Yan is Er Yu's friend and can be regarded as a "fellow party" with Er Yu, as a princess, Xia Yu thinks that Zhao Yan should still be able to distinguish between black and white. If Zhao Yan was the kind of person who bullied the weak, and wanted to be in the Rui Wangfu that day, Er Yu would not have any scruples.

Come over quickly, as if something is important.

Zhao Yan was present. Shun didn't dare to say much, Zhao Lu had to get up and walk into the distance, and then stood next to the rockery in the distance, and Shun didn't know what he was talking about.

"When the mission leaves the palace, it must be very lively on the long street." Zhao Yan smiled lightly.

Xia Yu nodded, "It's very lively, but it's a pity that the princess can't leave the palace." ”

"I have been trapped in the palace in this life, and I will die in the palace in the future." When Zhao Yan said this, she was so calm and calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business, she still had a smile on her face, and her tone was as plain as usual, "I let myself live as calmly as possible, but you know that no matter how calm the lake is, it can't withstand the wind and waves." A small stone can cause ripples, and it can't be calm for a long time. ”

Hearing these words, Xia Yu was a little confused. What exactly is Zhao Yan talking about? I vaguely feel that there is something in the words, but you can't pick out the thorn and can't answer.

It's really unpredictable.

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't speak, Zhao Yan chuckled, "Don't you like to hear about Mr. Storyteller?" Then you should know the story of success and defeat of Xiao He. Some people are destined not to be fetted, especially when they are in a high position, once they have the fetters in their hearts, they will become a burden. Over time, a kind of stake will be formed, and no matter what you do, you will look ahead and look backwards, and you will no longer have the arbitrariness you used to have. ”

Xia Yu took a deep breath, "If the princess is here to teach me a lesson, then there is no need. I asked myself that I would not be a shackle to anyone, nor would I be a burden to anyone. Whether it's affection or kindness, I know the truth of moderation. ”

Zhao Yan shook her head, "No, you don't understand what I mean." She lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, "Then do you know why the imperial brother summoned you to the palace today?" Do you know where Uncle Huang is today? If you don't understand anything and want to mix it up, it will only be a problem for everyone. ”

She said it very gently, but the words were so sharp and piercing in Xia Yu's ears.

What is distress?

Wait, what does Zhao Yan mean? Yaba Maru.

As soon as he looked up, Zhao Lu had already come back quickly, and his face was not very good.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, then raised her lips and smiled, "I heard that the princess is not in good health, so it's better to worry less and take care of yourself." As he spoke, he grabbed an apple from the basket and took a bite as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Yan was still smiling, but this smile made Xia Yu no longer feel warm, but a little more sneering. Those beautiful eyes seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost and snow, with a cold contempt. When she looked at Zhao Lu again, it turned into a gentle smile in an instant, making people unable to see through it at all, such an elegant and calm beautiful woman.

"Say what, say so happy." Zhao Lu asked with a smile.

Zhao Yan glanced at Xia Yu, turned her head and smiled, "Brother Huang, you know that Xia Nei likes to eat grilled fish the most." During that time, I lived in Rui Wang's Mansion, and I could always smell the aroma of grilled fish in the Yangxin Pavilion. I heard that the fish in the fish pond in the Yangxin Pavilion were eaten by Xia Nei Shi, and most of them were eaten! ”

"Really?" Zhao Lu was stunned, "Why does the third brother like to eat grilled fish." It's easy, let the imperial chef give it to you at noon—"

"No need." Xia Yu replied quickly, and then smiled, "I only eat fish from Yangxin Pavilion." ”

"What, isn't Uncle Huang's fish different?" Zhao Lu was puzzled.

Xia Yu nodded, and suddenly remembered Zhao Shuo's smiling face, as well as his appearance of picking fish bones for himself.

"It's different." She said, smiling with happiness. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, Zhao Yan's words, that means-her lower lip pursed slightly, Xia Yu gathered her clothes, "It's a little cold here, let's go, it's cold." ”

Zhao Luzhen, "I will take you to the treasure house for a walk, if you like something, I will give it to you." ”

I don't know why, if I usually hear this, Xia Yu should be overjoyed. But at this moment, her mind has been hovering with Zhao Yan's words, what is burden?

didn't take two steps, she glanced back at Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan was still laughing, and the laughter made Xia Yu shiver unconsciously. The way she looked at herself, it was very cold, as if there was a cold breath that rose from the soles of her feet and quickly poured into her heart.

Xia Yu left thoughtfully, but Zhao Yan still stopped where she was.

"Princess, it's cold outside, let's go back to the palace!" Lan Zhu stepped forward and hugged Zhao Yan and walked down the steps.

Zhao Yan coughed lightly, her face was red and white for a while, and she looked weak, "I hope she can understand." ”

"The princess is not well, so she doesn't have to think about it so much. Everyone has their own lives, even if the princess has the heart to help, but if this summer rain is elm's head is not open, there is nothing to do. Lan Zhu sighed softly.

"People are knives and I am fish and meat, I can't just watch and do nothing." Zhao Yan lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes were half hanging, and she coughed lightly, and her body trembled.

Lan Zhu panicked, "Princess? ”

"It's fine." Zhao Yan gasped a few breaths, and Yuzhu on the side hurriedly handed over the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Zhao Yan eased her expression, got up lightly, and glanced at the excellent sunlight with a pale face, "When will I be free, like an ordinary person, I can walk in the sunshine unscrupulously." I really want to go out. ”

But she couldn't, not at all.

God gave her the most noble status, and also gave her endless glory and wealth, and also gave her a beautiful face, so that she could maintain a dignified and elegant calm anytime and anywhere.

Even so, her body has become the biggest failure in this life.

This crippled body cannot love what it loves, nor can it enjoy freedom.

"Princess, go back to the palace and rest!" Lanzhu whispered.

Zhao Yan nodded, "Go back!" I'm tired too! ”

dragging heavy steps, the emaciated back, as if the wind will blow will disappear into the world. There must be something to give in life, and if she can have today, she naturally has to give up something as an equivalent exchange.

Her wealth was exchanged for her life.

It's just her words, but the more Xia Yu thinks about it, the more scared she becomes. What is burden, only by becoming Zhao Laojiu's weakness and Zhao Laojiu's scruples can he be burdened. In this way, the emperor summoned her to the palace, not simply to catch up with the past, but to leave her in the palace in a premeditated way.

So where did Zhao Laojiu go?

Xia Yu thought about it, is it in Zhao Shuo's hands, there is what Zhao Lu wants most, so Zhao Lu will use her as a threat. As the storyteller said, Qin Chaozhen went to a foreign land for the sake of - she didn't dare to think about it.

Zhao Lu, is it really such a person?

But he seems to be cowardly and incompetent, specializing in woodwork, and it seems that he doesn't pay attention to the court at all. In a day like this, will he be the kind of person who plays with power tricks to beat Zhao Shuo?

Xia Yu didn't believe it, if Zhao Laojiu really cared about the sky, would he have sent someone to protect her a long time ago?

But Zhao Laojiu didn't send someone to protect her, and there seemed to be no one else except Anu, so it can be seen that Zhao Laojiu never thought that the emperor would summon her to the palace. Did you not expect it, or did you do it deliberately? Zhao Laojiu's mind was so heavy that Xia Yu couldn't figure it out.

"Why are you upset?" Zhao Lu asked, "What did the princess say to you?" ”

Xia Yu shook his head, "No, it's just that I suddenly wanted to leave the palace." ”

"Isn't it fun in the palace?" Zhao Lu frowned, looking at her with a somewhat complicated look.

Xia Yu pursed her lips and stood on the high observation deck and looked around, standing here with an unobstructed view of the palace, but—she didn't like this place, "At a glance, the boxy wall, the boxy city." I think it's more depressing than the prison of the Criminal Department, don't you think? ”

Zhao Lu was stunned, stood side by side with her, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, "I am the biggest prisoner in the world." ”

"The emperor is born with the emperor's life, and I am born with wandering, so the emperor has to guard the world, and I am destined to be home from all over the world." Xia Yu smiled faintly, looking at the golden sun in the sky, his eyebrows slightly curved.

"You mean, you leave the capital sooner or later?" Zhao Lu looked at her fixedly.

Xia Yu teased, "Big brother won't be reluctant, right?" Don't worry, even if I'm gone, I'll definitely come back to see you. It's just that when the time comes, the eldest brother can't disown me as a grass-headed brother. She punched Zhao Lu in the chest, habitually moving, and forgot that he was the emperor for a while. When she came back to her senses, her face tightened and she almost wanted to withdraw her hand, but Zhao Luyi grabbed the fist placed on her chest.

"I'm really reluctant." Zhao Lu's eyes darkened slightly, "You know, I feel very lonely. ”

Xia Yu was stunned.

Zhao Lu continued, "Look at this palace, it's mine. This world is also mine. But I can't do what I want to do, say what I want to say. In front of the courtiers, I must put on the posture of an emperor, and I have been warned from childhood to adulthood that an emperor is an emperor. There are many things that others can do, but I can't. ”

"In those years, even if I knew that there were villains in the court, those who died were my humerus, and they were my loyal ministers and good generals. But I can't save them, because if I save them, I will die. The emperor, who seems to be high, is in danger of being replaced at any time. Third brother, do you understand that fear? ”

"That's why I don't care about the government, and I like to be a carpenter. A piece of wood is in my hands, and I can make it whatever I want it to become. I felt that this was the life I wanted. ”

"The so-called supremacy of imperial power is just a shackle for me."

He took a deep breath and suddenly hugged her in his arms, "It's been a long, long time since I told anyone the truth. That's why when I first saw you and my second brother, I couldn't wait to be brothers with you. You have freedom, happiness, and affection that I can't ask for. The kind of love that can shed blood for his brother is a luxury that the emperor's family can't get in his lifetime. ”

Xia Yu was quietly held in his arms, frowning slightly.

Emperor, it's not easy to be a doctor!

The emperor still deserves to work so hard, so is the prince more tired? Zhao Shuo can get to where he is today, and it is even more shocking to think about it. He's going to be lonely, right? If it weren't for Li Huan to accompany him, how would he survive those days?

She suddenly came back to her senses, and almost struggled, her hands pressed against his chest.

But Zhao Lu whispered gloomily, "Don't look up." ”

His voice, with a slight choked voice.

She suddenly understood that he wasn't trying to hold her, he just didn't want her to see something she shouldn't see.

For example, the tears that fall for loneliness, the red eyes that are tired of the heart, and the heart that hurts me for this life. In the choked throat, rolling was the unspeakable pain of all these years.

As an emperor, there are things he can't do. Three points of illusion, three points of play, three points of laughter in tears. Leave the last point for yourself, so as not to teach you to live in vain in this life, and regret it at the bottom.

After a long time, Zhao Lu let go of her, and she was still the same.

The indifferent appearance that an emperor should have!

He smiled, a little reluctantly, "I've made you see the joke, it's been a long, long time since I've said so much to anyone." ”

"Is there no credible person around the emperor?" Xia Yu was puzzled, "Or, the emperor didn't think about trusting others at all?" ”

"I can't believe it." Zhao Lu looked at his imperial city, "Look, how many courtyards, how many minions, and how many royal forest troops are in this palace, but do you know what kind of heart they hide?" Knowing that I am the emperor, no one dares to treat me as an ordinary person. Since you don't dare, you are jealous, and since you are jealous, how can you really believe it. ”

Xia Yu was silent, this is true.

She suddenly wondered, did Zhao Lu feel something, so he said those words to confuse herself?

What Zhao Yan meant was that Zhao Lu summoned himself into the palace to let Zhao Shuo throw a rat trap, or to use her as a threat, wanting Zhao Shuo to do something that Zhao Shuo didn't want to do.

She couldn't tell what kind of thoughts the two siblings, Zhao Yan and Zhao Lu, were hiding.

However, Xia Yu affirmed one thing, Zhao Yan and Zhao Lu are definitely not the same heart.

"Doesn't the eldest brother still have a sister? The princess and the emperor are brothers and sisters. Xia Yu smiled, "Isn't it best to talk to each other between brother and sister?" My eldest brother and I are always the closest. He knew all my habits, and if I made a mistake, he would be the first to chase after me. But if someone bullies me, he's also the first to stand up and protect me. ”

Zhao Lu frowned and looked at her, "You still have a brother?" It's nice to have a sibling. ”

"Doesn't the eldest brother also have a younger sister?" Xia Yu sneered twice.

"Sister?" Zhao Lu sneered twice, but there was no follow-up. This smile is really weird, and it can be said that it has a surprising mockery. There was disdain in his eyes, and his expression was extremely cold.

Xu was aware of Xia Yu's incomprehension, and Zhao Lu continued, "Yan'er is used to accompanying the queen mother, and you also know that my queen mother is a powerful character. So I didn't dare to go to my mother, and naturally the brothers and sisters gradually drifted apart. Even though it's a younger sister, sometimes it's not as kind as the attendants around her. So this sister, don't mention it! ”

Xia Yu pouted, "It's you who are too stingy and refuse to do something for your sister." You know that I have loved to eat since I was a child, so my brother has practiced good cooking skills and specially cooked for me. If it weren't for the poverty of the family, my brother could only go to the army to supplement the family, and he would not have left me. Speaking of this, Xia Yu's eyes dimmed.

From childhood to adulthood, she caused trouble, and she let her brother carry the black pot. Now that her parents have an accident, she hasn't returned to Daizhou's capital, and she doesn't know how uncomfortable her brother's heart will be.

Zhao Lu looked at her fixedly, "What do you want to eat, the eldest brother will let the imperial dining room cook it for you." ”

"The dishes in the palace are all regular, not as delicious as outside." Xia Yu smiled, "Another day, big brother will leave the palace, let's find a nerd and go to a gathering together." How about I invite you to eat the roast duck from Quanjufang? ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Zhao Lu turned around with a smile, "But now, I invite you to eat my lunch." ”

Xia Yu followed with a smile, she wanted to see what tricks the Zhao family brothers and sisters were playing. One of them must be lying!

As everyone knows, Zhao Shuo is arranging the overall situation in the courtyard outside the city.

Li Huan and Yang Hui stood behind Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo stood with his hands in his hands, and stopped at the window, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready!" Li Huanzhen, "Just need the prince's orders, and set off immediately." ”

"The Suguo Mansion is ready to move, they have been waiting for this day for a long time." Yang Hui took a step forward, "But I suspect that Dongfang Father may not be a heart." ”

"Dongfang Yue colluded with Great Xia Taiyuan Bi, and it was bound to not let the Seven Emperors Yuan Hao return to Great Xia safely. If the Seven Emperors died in the territory of Dayan, as long as the murderer could not be found, Daxia would have enough fame as a teacher. But Dongfang Xu's mind may not be like this. Zhao Shuo's eyes were clear, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, and the Great Xia Mission must be allowed to leave Dayan safely, otherwise, everything that has been done will be wasted." ”

"Yes!" Li Huan and Yang Hui are leaving.

A man in black came out of the secret passage behind the wall, his eyes cold, "Let me go too!" ”

Zhao Shuo turned around quietly, his face was unwavering, "Have you figured it out?" Once your identity is revealed, even Wei Wei can't protect you. ”

"I've already died once, am I still afraid of death?" He sneered.

Zhao Shuo's peach blossom eyes were clear to the bone, "How easy it is to die." If you died so easily, why bother so much in the first place, why save you? ”

The man in black took a deep breath, "Only if I go, you can catch him." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo was silent.

"Lord Wang!" The man in black knelt down, "Those who have been breathing for a long time have not seen the light of day all year round, and now they should do something, otherwise how can they comfort those who died unjustly under the butcher's knife?" ”

Zhao Shuo stared at him for a long time before finally sighing lightly, "Whether it's a person or a thing, I'm bound to get it!" ”

The man in black kowtowed, "Thank you." ”

Then he got up and walked away quickly.

It's really getting more and more lively, but Zhao Shuo looked at the sky intently, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a trace of concern. That was his fetters and his weakness.

Even if he failed, he had no regrets. It's just a fate, a game, there are always winners and losers.

Lose, he still has her.

Won, and he only has her.

In fact, there is no difference at all, so winning or losing has long ceased to matter to him. What he insists on is only what he thinks is right, and he is just fulfilling his promise to someone!

The secret guard in the backyard has been prepared, Zhao Shuo is dressed in a dark robe, except for the pair of amorous peach blossom eyes, everything is covered in black, and it is difficult to distinguish his face.

"Out!" With an order, he poured out of the nest.
