Li Chengdu looked at the grim expression on Qiao Chu's face, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, do you really want to do this?" ”

Qiao Chu glanced back at Li Chengdu, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth: "What, Li Chengdu, do you think I shouldn't treat him like this?" ”

Li Chengdu lowered his head in fear and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just feel that this hatred has made you lose your heart, and it has tormented you for many years, and the subordinates just don't want you to be driven by hatred, really do something, the master must remember, Bai Yu he ...... I can't do without you. ”

Qiao Chu slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, seemed to suppress something, for a long time, he said: "Don't worry, I will not subvert his dynasty, nor will I set his country, what my father didn't do, I won't do it." ”

Li Chengdu's face froze for a moment because of his words, and there was a faint look of worry between his eyebrows, and he pursed the corners of his lips and stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want." Qiao Chu didn't look back, just put his hands behind his back and raised his eyes to look in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Li Chengdu lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Master, I have been following your instructions for the past few days, and I have been dormant near the Sleepy Siyuan, but I was discovered by him. ”

"You!" Qiao Chu suddenly turned his head and scolded him angrily, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were scarlet, and he was afraid of Li Chengdu with a palm.

Li Chengdu knelt down in fear, pursed his lips and said, "Don't be angry, master." I think he already knew that you had entered the capital, and he had been sending people to keep an eye on you. ”

Qiao Chu flicked his sleeves, closed his eyes, and seemed to try his best to endure the face that rushed into his mind, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This time, he, he...... Did you say anything? ”

Li Chengdu looked at him and hesitated: "He said that he wants to see you." ”

A sneer overflowed from the corner of Qiao Chu's mouth, and when he opened his eyes, there was a mockery that couldn't be dissolved: "He still has the face to see me, I died from the Zhu family when I was more than ten years old, and now more than ten years have passed, he has never seen me, and now he wants to see me?" ”

Li Chengdu's face also became sad, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, he still cares about you, and you also care about him, otherwise you wouldn't ......."

"Shut up! Li Chengdu, don't think you know me, what I want to do has nothing to do with anyone! Qiao Chu hooked his lips and sneered in the boundless darkness, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, aggressive. "I'm just getting justice for my mother, just cheapening him." ”

Li Chengdu looked at Qiao Chu's side face and sighed silently, he knew that every thing Qiao Chu did was for him.

Duan Changge suddenly appeared in Zhou Yao's room, which made Zhou Yao startled.

"Master Duan is really elusive. Zhou Yao covered his aching knees on the bed, and his tone was a little resentful: "Pity me for being a civil official who has no power to restrain the chicken, but you use it as a military attaché. ”

Duan Changge sat at the table in the small hall, poured himself a cup of tea, took a leisurely sip, and said slowly: "The emperor will not kill you, the punishment is not as good as the ministers, and the emperor will not leave a truth for the people of the world." ”

When Zhou Yao heard this, he sighed lowly: "I hope my emperor can be sober up from this." ”

Duan Changge held the teacup for a moment, and seemed to shake his head helplessly, without words.

"Lord Duan just came tonight to see if I'm in good condition?" Zhou Yao looked at him sideways, with some suspicion in his eyes.

Duan Changge chuckled and said, "Of course not. ”

He put down the teacup, looked at Zhou Yao and said in a deep voice: "After today, Lord Zhou doesn't have to ask for his life to overturn the case for Bai Jingxuan's case." ”

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment, and said a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

Duan Changge smiled, walked slowly to the window, looked at the bright moon above his head, and said softly: "Now that my goal has been achieved, Lord Zhou's task will naturally be over." ”

Zhou Yao couldn't figure it out at the moment when he heard this, if it wasn't for a thorough investigation, how could the case be overturned, he frowned and said: "Lord Duan's thoughts, Zhou really can't guess it." ”

Duan Changge turned around and stared at him, hooked his lips and smiled, but explained in a rare way: "It's very simple, the emperor's heart is that he would rather kill you than overturn the case for Lord Bai, and he is the only one who can really do this." Today's admonition is just a dose of fierce medicine for the emperor, as the so-called thinking day and night, even if it is a dragon and phoenix among people like the emperor, the emperor of the world, there will always be one, two, he doesn't even dare to face people in his dreams. ”

Zhou Yao understood Duan Changge's thoughts at this moment, but he still couldn't help but be curious: "How did Lord Duan know that the Holy Lord would definitely dream of Lord Bai?" ”

Duan Changge smiled, his face was condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Then it's up to him." ”

In the Qianqing Palace, the bright yellow bed veil next to the bed hangs quietly, and the pure gold ding in the main hall burns the apricot fragrance, and the smoke is curling and filling, making people drowsy.

Emperor Yongle on the dragon bed slept very deeply, but his frowning eyebrows seemed to be locked in something, and he was not even stable in his sleep.

In his dream, Emperor Yongle saw the two people he was most reluctant to face in his life.

One is the courtier he once trusted the most, Bai Jinghang, who fell in love with a woman he shouldn't have fallen in love with and knew secrets he didn't know.

One is the woman he loves the most in this life, Qing Han, who gave birth to a child he is most reluctant to admit in this life.

Emperor Yongle was trapped in a nightmare, like being in a cage, he staggered and ran, but no matter how he couldn't escape, the white mirror and the cold followed him like a shadow, so that he had long lost the dignity of the emperor.

In the end, he seemed to be tired of running, sat on the ground, looked up at the two people in front of him, and he knew that this was his inner demon.

"I know there will come a day." Emperor Yongle gasped, with a hint of panic in his voice, but it was still so sonorous and powerful.

The white mirror hung in mid-air, his gray hair was scattered behind his head, and his eyes were the size of copper bells, just as he had not changed at all when he died.

Six years ago, before Bai Jing was buried, he ordered Ji Bangyue to secretly take him to take a look, and that glance Emperor Yongle had never forgotten in his life.

"Your Majesty, the minister's hair is all boiled for His Majesty's country, and the minister has never failed His Majesty in his life, but you and I are the monarch and minister, how did you get to this point?"

Bai Jing looked at Emperor Yongle, his eyes were full of sadness: "Those silver, I haven't touched a penny, I think Your Majesty can know the minister's thoughts, the minister just wants to leave a way for the little girl to live, and now, Your Majesty doesn't even dare to face the minister in a dream?" ”

Emperor Yongle slowly sat up from the ground, gathered his clothes, straightened his sideburns, and maintained the dignity of the emperor, he snorted lightly: "Bai Jinghang, how did I trust you in the first place, you actually had a dirty heart for Qinghan, and you knew that Qinghan was actually my ......"

Emperor Yongle paused, there were some words, he didn't even dare to say in his dreams, he flicked his sleeves and said, "How can I tolerate you!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Bai Jinghang was already in tears, and kept shaking his head and said: "Although the minister loves Qinghan, he has never had the heart to overstep, His Majesty's secret, the minister will rot in the stomach, the saint does not believe in the loyalty of the minister, but the minister lost in His Majesty's doubts!" ”

Emperor Yongle was stunned, and immediately, he shook his head and scolded angrily: "With you, that secret will be leaked one day, and I will never let this kind of thing happen." ”

"Your Majesty!" The figure of Bai Jinghang gradually began to blur in front of his eyes, but his words were still floating in his ears: "The facts are the facts, no matter how many people you kill, the facts are still there, is it, in order to cover up this fact, does Your Majesty still want to kill all the people?" ”

"So what, whoever disobeys me must die!"

Emperor Yongle is like a violent lion, as if he wants to tear apart all those who stand in his way.

He gasped, watching the person in front of him gradually turn into a woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes, his expression froze, and he felt that the heart in his chest that had been sealed for many years had a rare tremor.

"Your Majesty, are you okay after all these years?"

Qinghan's eyebrows and eyes are still so young, it seems that he is the only one who is old.

Emperor Yongle covered his heart and stared at her without saying a word, Qing Han slowly walked in front of him, stretched out his hand to support his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Qing Han misses you very much. ”

Emperor Yongle's heart was pierced by her soft words, but he still pushed her away ruthlessly, and said, "Are you thinking about me, or him?" ”

Qing Han was stunned on the ground, biting his lip and forbearing, but no matter how he endured, he couldn't help it after all, the huge tears fell and rolled down from his eyes, and he couldn't stop it, and choked up: "Your Majesty, why don't you believe me until now?" ”

Emperor Yongle turned his head, not looking at the tears in her eyes, and said coldly: "You are his wife after all, and the name is right, I am just a robber......"

"Your Majesty!"

Qing Han stepped forward and hugged his waist, and a large number of tears flowed from his clothes into his skin, like a knife, and the painful Yongle Emperor was almost unsteady on his feet.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine can't justifiably compete with you, the concubine's heart is always in Your Majesty's heart, but Your Majesty has never believed it!"

Qinghan hugged her tightly, the throbbing, just like when they first met, even after so many years, it still hasn't changed at all.

Emperor Yongle stretched out his hand tremblingly and wanted to hug the woman in his arms, but her body gradually drifted away in his arms little by little, Emperor Yongle was shocked, and tears flowed out uncontrollably: "Qing Han, Qing Han, don't leave me, don't leave me, Qing Han!" ”

"Your Majesty, let it go, the demons have tormented you for too long, Qinghan has never complained about Your Majesty, nor has he ever blamed you, when I left you, I didn't want you to fall into the devil's path for Qinghan, Your Majesty...... Qinghan only loves you, Your Majesty should know in your heart, but you don't want to believe it......"

"Cold, cold, don't, don't! I believe you! ”

Emperor Yongle sat up from the bed suddenly, his back was wet and cold with sweat, he was stunned, only to feel that his face was also cold, he raised his hand and touched it, it turned out to be his tears.

Demon in his heart, is he himself torturing himself?

Inside the house, the maid knelt on the ground again.

Emperor Yongle let himself cry silently, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and calmed himself, and said in a steady voice: "What's wrong?" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly raised his head and said, "The news just came that Lord Ji was next to the silver house, and he was also poisoned and fainted!" ”
