"In that case, I'll go first." Sima Yuan got up and looked at Yu Ji.

"Chen Sima Yuan said goodbye."

"Stand down." Yu Ji waved her hand.

Sima Yuan glanced at Li Duge, and then left Changle Palace by himself.

"Li Aiqing, is there anything else important here?"

The fortress that Yu Ji had built herself collapsed the moment Sima Yuan left, but in front of Li Duge, she was still unwilling to show her weak side.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that the minister just wants to talk to you about." Li Duge got up and said.

Yu Ji looked at the palace maids and eunuchs beside her:

"Go down, all of you."

"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew from the dormitory one after another.

"Okay now, if there's anything, just say it." Yu Ji sat down.

Li Duge walked in front of Yu Ji:

"Your Majesty, don't embarrass Sima Yuan." The first thing Li Duge said to himself alone turned out to be this.

He really loves Sima Yuan so much, and tells himself alone, don't embarrass Sima Yuan, in his mind, is he the kind of person who goes back to hurt Sima Yuan?

"What do you mean by this, Lord Li?" Yu Ji's eyes were already glistening with tears.

"I just want to tell you, don't get along with Sima Yuan in the court or anywhere." Li Duge repeated it once.

"How can I ever feel sorry for your fiancée, who is above the court? Or in the inner palace? Have you ever seen one? ”

"I haven't seen it." Li Duge knew what Yu Ji's mood was like now.

But he didn't mean what Yu Ji thought at all, he told Yu Ji not to provoke Sima Yuan, but just wanted to tell Yu Ji to bear with it first and not to make a move in a hurry.

"Since you haven't seen it, why did you come here to say these things to me, you are slandering me." Yu Ji didn't expect Li Duge to speak to herself like this, and she was very heartbroken.

"That's not what I meant." Li Duge didn't know how to explain it now.

Yu Ji's tears couldn't be held back completely:

"You don't mean that, you're not here today to thank you, but you're still here to threaten me, right?" Yu Ji's swollen eyes already turned into anger.

"The minister just wants to tell His Majesty to be cautious in everything." After Li Duge finished speaking, he saluted and wanted to leave.

"Master Li, did I do something that made you dissatisfied? Or are you dissatisfied with my marriage to you and Sima Yuan in this court? Don't think it's grand enough? Have you wronged your fiancée? ”

Yu Ji's tears fell to the ground one by one, and then bloomed on the ground like flowers:

"That's really not what I mean." Li Duge's heart is like being separated by a knife now, but how to explain it, he can't explain it at all now.

"Please, give me a way to live."

Yu Ji raised her tear-stained face and looked at Li Duige, Li Duge's heart was like being cut by a knife, watching her loved one cry like this because of her sadness, how could she not be heartbroken.

In Yu Jide's eyes, as long as Li Duge and Sima Yuan appear together, it will be a kind of death-like torture for herself, and feelings are really something that she can't control.

"There's nothing wrong with the minister." Li Duge felt that she had better leave now, the two of them would only be sad together, maybe she wouldn't feel better if she couldn't see her.

"Stand down." Yu Ji raised her head and said.

Li Duge glanced at Yu Ji, and then left Changle Palace by himself.

Yu Ji looked at the back of Li Duge leaving, and the tears she had just controlled could no longer be controlled, she buried herself on the table and cried loudly.

Tears wet the red gauze on her body, as if blood was dripping on it, whether it was tears in her eyes or blood in her heart, Yu Ji had no strength now.

"Brother Leng, the task given to me by Her Majesty the Empress, I am finally about to complete it." Yu He said to Leng Xiao with a smile.

Leng Xiao smiled: "After completing the task, treat these people who have contributed to you." ”

"Yes, I know, I will." Yu He looked at Leng Xiao's side face, and then kept laughing.

"By the way, last time, Brother Leng suddenly left from the Lotus Perfume Pavilion, saying that there was something wrong, and I don't know how your affairs are going." Yu He asked cautiously.

In fact, smart people can see that Yu He likes Leng Xiao, and when he asks now, he just wants to know what Leng Xiao was doing that day.

"It's going well, but it's not done yet." Leng Xiao didn't say what he was doing that day.

In this way, it is a kind of protection for Xia Ye'er.

"I don't know if Brother Leng needs it, Yu He is here to help, after all, my affairs, Brother Leng also helped, otherwise, how could I be able to do the things that Her Majesty the Empress explained in such a short period of time.

Of course, Leng Xiao would not agree to let Yu He come to help: "No need, this matter is actually very simple, I will be able to finish it soon, you don't have to worry, just do your own work well." ”

"Brother Leng doesn't have to worry about it, I don't have anything to do now, so I'm very idle to earn Russians, the empress's sister is young and strong now, and she doesn't need much help from me or anything, and there is Sima Yuan and Prime Minister Sima in the court, so I'm an idler."

No matter how Yu He's words sounded, it seemed to have a taste of complaining, like a resentful woman, spitting sour water at a man. In fact, Sima Yuan has been in power for a long time, and Leng Xiao also knows this.

In the imperial court, it looks calm on the outside, but in fact, there is an undercurrent on the inside. The Sima family has been in power for a long time.

The power of the empress and the Sima family in the past dynasties will form a very strong confrontation, which is a fact that no one can change, but looking back at the past dynasties, there is no enlightened dynasty, and the power is actually in the hands of anyone except the emperor.

The person who holds the power will not be very good in the end, even if he rebels and ascends the throne one day, he will not be loved by the people and supported by the officials.

But often, the effective way for rulers to deal with these people who are unwilling to support them is to make an example of them, after all, the birth of a new dynasty is soaked in blood.

Leng Xiao had already seen through this truth, but he also knew very well that today's empress was by no means an idle person, so the Sima family would not pose too much threat to him.

"Brother Leng, what are you thinking?" Yu He saw that Leng Xiao was already distracted, so he took his hand and shook it a few times in front of his eyes.
