"Chief, the prince has come to pick you up. Chu Buliu's voice sounded outside the door of the secret room, with a hint of echo.

"It seems that the emperor and the crown prince have reached a consensus, you should go." Lu Zhi woke up the still contemplative Yu and stretched out his hand to help her up.

"Big brother, you come with me" Yi Yu pulled Lu Zhi's sleeve, her eyes were a little pleading, ten years of captivity, this yīn cold and damp underground, she didn't want Lu Zhi to stay one more day.

Lu Zhi pulled her up, shook his head, and said, "Now is not the time. ”

Lu Zhi is a person who says the same, since he is determined to take her to Hongzhuang, he will not leave early, Yu Yu was helplessly pushed outside the wooden door by him half embraced, and Chu Buliu was waiting outside with a lantern.

"Xiaoyu, three days later, the eldest brother will be waiting for you in the south of the city. ，…

Lu Zhi raised his hand and straightened the Zhu Hai on the top of Zheng Yiyu's head, and stood in the door with his hand, not taking a step, watching Chu Buliu turn back frequently, and the Yuyu who stopped talking about it pulled up the stairs and disappeared on the last step of the steps.

Not long after, Chu Buliu turned back, saw Lu Zhi still standing by the door, smiled, bent down to pick up the heavy chain on the ground, and shook it in his hand effortlessly.

"If the prince knew that he tried his best to send people to you, so that your brothers and sisters could meet early, but you wanted to kidnap his people, I don't know if you would regret it."

"Who knows" Lu Zhi turned around and walked into the dark inner room, and replied in a faint voice underground: "Maybe it's me who regrets it." "At the darkest moment before dawn, a small group of guards stood outside the alley, a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Li Tai stood at the mouth of the alley wearing a coat of crow green sè, looking into the depths of the dark alley, and strode forward without hesitation after seeing the swaying fire in the alley.

Yi Yu lowered her head to look at the road, heard the footsteps, raised her head sluggishly, and through the light of the lantern, she saw clearly that the tall man who stopped a few steps away swept away with a sad face, pulled out the arm that was being supported, and took a few steps to meet him, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged him, the man's arms were warm and wide, she hugged him tightly, and the haqi in her mouth rose in front of him Xiōng white mist raised her head and said, "You don't have a car, right?" ”

Tay covered her cold ears and took the person into his arms again.

"1 What about the little raindrops?"

The little guy played too happily during the day, and when he entered the palace, he was sleepy and the banquet was too noisy, so Yu Yu asked Pingtong Pinghui to take her back to the East Palace to sleep, in order to avoid the wind in the Liangyi Hall tonight.

"At the General's Palace."

Yiyu was relieved of his heart, and the light rain was taken care of by Lu, and he would not cry when he woke up.

Li Tai got into the car with the jade around him, and under the escort of the guards, the carriage turned around.

In the car, Li Tai wrapped the pot-bellied jade around his lap, wrapped her hands in his palms from behind and warmed her cold fingers.

"See?"

"yes, I see."

"Happy."

It is the biggest surprise of the whole year, there are surprises and joys.

"Crying?" Li Tai tilted his head, and his mouth touched the corners of her reddened eyes, a little displeased.

"I couldn't help it."

"I'll find a way to get him out in the future, and I won't be sad for him anymore."

Listening to his ** order, Yi Yu approached his arms and exhaled lightly, "That's my eldest brother." The gaze above her head deepened, Li Tai buried the tip of his nose in her hair, avoided the topic just now, and said in a low voice: "When you are tired, close your eyes and rest, I will send you back to the Furong Garden, and I will go back to the palace to deal with some things." Yi Yu actually had a lot of things to ask Li Tai, but she couldn't ask, too many things happened this night, she was really tired, relying on him, and fell asleep after a while.

When she woke up, it was already morning, Li Tai went to the palace, she barely ate some breakfast, then drove everyone out, and stayed in the room alone to think about things.

Because there was too much movement in the palace last night, almost all the courtiers who came to congratulate the prince on his birthday were sent back to the palace by the guards with alcohol and drugs, and the news of King Wu's rebellion spread everywhere the next day, shocking the government and the opposition.

The former eldest grandson Wuji was questioned for allegedly collaborating with the enemy to murder the prince, and the king of Wu rebelled again, and overnight, most of the officials involved with the king of Wu were arrested and imprisoned.

On the second day after King Wu's rebellion, Li Shimin personally announced that he would abdicate in February next year and pass the throne to the crown prince Li Tai.

In the face of such a hasty decision, there was very little opposition from the dynasty, and everyone knew that the crown prince was a foregone conclusion that he held the military power of the three armies, had outstanding military achievements, and had no contacts in civil and martial arts.

It's just that why Li Shimin voluntarily passed on the throne after King Wu's rebellion has become a mystery in the hearts of this courtier.

Yiyu didn't expect Pingyang to come to visit her, she came back from Dingzhou, and she has been nesting in Furong Garden, not knowing that the third princess returned to Chang'an from Luoyang a month ago.

Li Shimin ordered the province to draft the edict of succession in the early morning of yesterday, the traffic outside the Furong Garden was busy, and the visitors were like carp crossing the river overnight, all of them were blocked by the iron-faced ruthless guards, Li Tai didn't have time to pay attention, and Yu Yu was not in the mood to entertain guests, but Pingyang had to be a different matter, she wanted to visit, even the guards outside the park did not dare to stop it.

Hearing the news outside, Yi Yu hurriedly changed into her regular clothes, and when she arrived at the huā hall, Pingyang was already sitting there drinking tea.

"Meet my aunt."

"Excuse me" Pingyang put down the tea, stepped forward and naturally took her hand, put it in the crook of his arm, and said: "It's warm outside today, and the palace hasn't been to the Furong Garden for a long time, so you follow me around the garden." "Okay," Yi Yu smiled, "Then I'll go with you." ”

As the two spoke, they left the huā hall side by side, followed by a group of shì women, holding the stove and tea.

"I see that your anger is not very good, is it because your body is heavy?" Pingyang asked, out of the outside, the sun was shining, and it was able to see people's faces clearly.

Yuyu mōmō stomach, eyes drooping, "I can't sleep for the past two days." ”

Pingyang looked at her, didn't say anything, and took her to walk in the direction of Fuhai Tower, after a cup of tea, the two went upstairs, leaving only Pingtong and Pinghui to serve.

Fuhai Tower is located on the west bank of the Furong Garden, is the highest point of view of the whole Imperial Garden, standing on the top floor of the third floor and looking down, you can take in the whole river surface, the distance is the neat square wall, and the sharp tower, the white wall and red tile, a glance, the heart is relaxed.

Standing on a high place, the air became fresh, and Yu Yu held on to the railing, breathing into the distance, and the melancholy on his face was dispersed by the breeze.

Pingyang also looked into the distance, and suddenly said: "When I was young, I liked to travel all over the world, make friends, I have seen a lot of strange women in my life, there are beautiful people, talented people, and kind-hearted people, but there is only one person, I respect her, this person is not the smartest, not the most beautiful, not the most kind, but she has been the leader of women in this world, the mother of the world, so that a king respects her, even if the harem beauties are 3,000, they can't take away her honor." When Yi Yu heard this, she knew that she was talking about Empress Changsun, so she pricked up her ears and listened.

"Why do you say that?" Pingyang turned his head to ask Yu Yu.

Yi Yu didn't know much about Empress Changsun, she was only lucky enough to see the appearance of the succession many years ago, and it was difficult to answer Pingyang's question, so she shook her head honestly.

"Because she knows the emperor," Pingyang sighed, "She is the woman who knows the emperor best in the world." Hearing this, Yi Yu's heart moved.

"It is said that the king is ruthless, and the king is like a tiger, the most difficult thing in the world to do is not the prime minister, not the prince, but the emperor's woman" Pingyang said earnestly: "The Son of Heaven is also a mortal, there are seven feelings and six yù, there are love and hatred, and it is a great fortune to be loved by the emperor, it is also a great misfortune, fortunately you are over all living beings, and the misfortune is that you have to think twice in your words and deeds, and if you don't check it for a while, you will affect the emperor's heart, and if it is serious, it will bring disaster to the country and the people, and it will be scolded by the world. Yi Yu's expression became serious, it wasn't for Pingyang to mention it, she had no way to imagine a queen at all, she was really clicked by her, only to find that she really had no concept of the position of the queen.

"Therefore, if you want to be a good emperor's woman, you must know him better than anyone else, know his joys and angers, understand his thoughts, and remember at all times that before he was a husband and father, he was first a monarch, and in the heart of a Ming monarch, the first thing is the people of the world." Pingyang turned his back, raised his hand and pointed at Yi Yu's heart, "You are here, can you accommodate the next emperor?" Yi Yu's heart swelled suddenly, and the place where Pingyang pointed out was like a stone pressed against her, so heavy that she felt breathless.

In the past two days since she came back from Kuixing Tower, she has been thinking about Lu Zhi's question: Li Taiken is unwilling to give up the country for her.

Pingyang's words, in one sentence, broke the fear in her heart, her love is actually extremely self-conscious, otherwise she would not insist that Li Tai only have her as a woman, but now, someone clearly told her that if she wants to be a Ming Jun, Li Tai cannot put her in the first place.

She knows that such an idea is stupid, but she also has the side of an ordinary woman, hoping to be the most important existence in the heart of her lover, not in the country, behind the people of the dawn.

Does she really have the xiōng placket of Empress Changsun to tolerate an emperor?

Looking at the beautiful river in the distance, Yu Yu hesitated.

"Master, master?" Yi Yu came back to his senses, only to find that Pingyang was gone, and went to ask the shì girl, "Where is the princess?" "It's been a long time since the princess left, it's windy here, master, you should also go downstairs, be careful about the wind and cold." Pingtong stepped forward and put the cloak on the jade shoulder.

Yi Yu glanced into the distance again, pressed thousands of thoughts under his eyebrows, and turned around: "Let's go." ”@。
