Mo Gu Han admitted: "So, I doubted the entire court, but I didn't doubt you. ”

"You don't suspect me, but you're on your lookout. Otherwise, if the Chang family is brought down and the paddock changes, you will not temporarily decide to change to King Chen to stay in the capital and disrupt my deployment. ”

Mo Guhan raised his eyebrows indifferently: "I am the emperor, I have never dared to listen to blind letters, except for Yuehua, I have a bottom line of trust in everyone." ”

"As an emperor, you are right to do this, and you are the wisest of all. You deliberately hide in front of the world, and when you face the Queen Mother, you are submissive, like a mediocre king without any opinions. You have always hidden a large part of your power from me to me, which makes me feel unfathomable. ”

"You and I are just opponents."

"Yes, in my eyes, you are like a cheetah, hiding your strength in the mottled trees, ready to attack. Far from holding me back, this discovery made me feel very excited, and it was a blessing in life to have a companion who could fight side by side and work well with each other, and it was also challenging to have a strong opponent. ”

"It's a pity that over the years, you have regarded me as an opponent, but I have regarded you as a confidant and friend."

Shao Ziqing put the wine glass on the long case, held the pot and sifted the wine by himself, and drank three glasses in a row before putting down the wine glass and breathing a long sigh of relief.

"How do you know my identity?"

"When I first invited you out of the mountain, I accidentally saw a puppet of Li Teng'er in your study. But at that time, it was just a glimpse, so I didn't take it to heart. Until the day you left, you and I were drunk, which reminded me of many past events between you and me, vividly in my mind, and it was like yesterday in a trance. So, I suddenly remembered.

I have always been suspicious of the fake prince in your Xiliang Prince's mansion, and I think it is a fool's eye. Besides, a genius like Shao Xiang, in the world, apart from Li Sheng, the prince of Xiliang, can there be a second choice? ”

Shao Ziqing smiled bitterly: "Leaving Xiliang, the only thing I care about is Teng'er, when you suddenly came to my hut, I was really caught off guard, and I didn't expect that you would never forget it." The first time you saw Teng'er, you said that she looked kind, which made me feel uneasy. ”

"You fled Xiliang after the palace change that year and went to my Chang'an incognito?"

Shao Ziqing nodded, with a desolate look on his face: "It was a nightmare that I would never want to mention, I didn't want to forgive his stupidity, let alone myself, every time I thought about it, I felt guilty and uncomfortable, and the pain was almost suffocating." So, I don't want to stay in Xiliang. ”

Yuehua saw that his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, his forehead was bruised, and his face was full of pain, so he couldn't help but interject and comfort: "The accident back then is not your responsibility, you don't need to feel guilty and blame yourself." ”

Shao Ziqing shook his head: "No, you don't have to comfort me, it's indeed my responsibility, if it weren't for my cowardice and cowardice, the big mistake of the year might not have happened, and my queen mother would not have died miserably." ”

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass again, and there were already faint tears in his eyes, but he quickly endured it and regained his clarity.

"Back then, my queen mother was kind to the commander of the guards who were ordered to arrest me, he had long been unaccustomed to what the demon concubine did on weekdays, and after arriving at the prince's mansion, he found an excuse to retire from the people around him, so he told me the truth about this incident in the palace.

At that time, I was just like the emperor, just a young man with strong blood, and when I heard what the commander said, my eyes were split, and I had to immediately follow him into the palace theory.

There were some faithful servants before me, who knelt on the ground and begged me not to be rash for a while. Even if there is a lot of truth, my father and the emperor listened to slander, and there was a favorite concubine in front of him, and when he entered the palace, he definitely had no good fruit to eat, so he must have given his life. They persuaded me in unison, let me stay away for a while, save my life, and only then can I have the capital to bring down the demon concubine in the future.

I was filled with righteous indignation, and after beating my chest and feeling indignant, I tried to calm myself down, because I was cowardly and greedy for a while, and I really followed their advice and went into hiding, and the one who was escorted to the palace by the commander was one of my companions, Li Lingfeng.

The two of us look similar and have similar bearings, and we often tease others. When he learned of the situation, he volunteered to enter the palace in my place to face all this.

I think you all know what happened next. My father was furious and wanted to kill Li Lingfeng immediately and arrest me into the palace. The queen mother argued with reason, and blood was splashed on the spot, so as to die.

After I knew the ins and outs of what happened in the palace outside the palace, I guessed a few suspicious points, and ordered the servants to rush forward to invite the two highly respected ministers of the court to go to the palace as soon as possible.

They had time to save Li Lingfeng's life, but they couldn't save my mother. If I hadn't been greedy for life and afraid of death and stayed outside the palace at that time, but had entered the palace to face all this with my mother, maybe things wouldn't have ended so tragically, and my mother wouldn't have lost her life. It was I who harmed the queen mother. ”

Shao Ziqing thought about the past, and his eyes became scarlet, as if covered with a layer of splashing blood, and then mixed with hot tears, he opened up in his eyes.

"What you did was not wrong," Yuehua silently persuaded again: "Even if you enter the palace, you still can't control the development of the situation, not only will you not be able to save your mother's life, but you will also take your own life." The reason why your mother willingly chose to commit suicide is nothing more than wanting to arouse your father's compassion and save your life. You can escape, at the very least, your mother is relieved when she is dying. ”

Shao Ziqing picked up the wine jug in his hand and poured it violently, and the sweet wine trickled down the corners of his lips and sprinkled on the placket. His hand holding the flask seemed to be overwhelmed, and his muscles were jumping and trembling slightly.

Later, everybody comforted me in the same way. They said, if I hadn't saved myself at the time, and plotted behind my back, I would have planned to clear my mother's name, and beheaded the demon concubine and a few traitors who colluded with each other, and now Xiliang doesn't know what the situation will be?

But I couldn't forgive myself, and after the matter came to light, I couldn't go back to the palace to face my father as the executioner, and I couldn't enjoy the wealth and power in peace on the palace where my mother died tragically. So, I left Xiliang and vowed never to go back. ”

"Therefore, in order to stabilize a few princes who are eyeing the throne, the lord of Xiliang tried every means to hide this matter, and let Li Lingfeng replace you, and have been living in seclusion in the prince's mansion, staying at home, pretending to be seriously ill."

"Not bad!" Shao Ziqing put the empty wine jug on the case: "Over the years, Li Lingfeng has been obscure in the Prince's Mansion, and he has read the policies of governing the country, just because he is afraid of being exposed to his true identity, so he has an empty stomach and does not dare to enter and leave the court. I have been wronged for so many years. ”

"Didn't the people of Xiliang know all along that my Lord Shao Xiang of Chang'an was actually the Prince of Xiliang?" Mo Guhan asked suspiciously.

Shao Ziqing shook his head solemnly: "The matter of me leaving Xiliang was originally a secret in Xiliang, and few people knew about it. My father also sent some people to secretly inquire about my news, but Xiliang and Chang'an have been fighting for many years, and they rarely exchange information, not to mention, they would never have thought that I would blatantly appear in the Chang'an court. ”

"When did they find out?"

Shao Ziqing pursed his lips: "The war between the two countries is over, and the Xiliang envoys entered Beijing to negotiate peace. ”

"So Li Teng'er immediately entered Beijing in person under the stars?"

Shao Ziqing nodded: "She came to persuade me to go back to Xiliang and told me that my father was seriously ill, and that he had realized his mistake and sincerely repented." ”

"I never understood why Li Teng'er didn't know Yuehua, but he recognized her, and took such a big risk to ask me to marry Yuehua. And it's so generous, one mouth is two cities. ”

"At that time, the world knew that you were not waiting to see the current queen, and she thought you would agree, so she made a bet. Although the queen's intermarriage is unprecedented and sounds ridiculous, but you are bent on Chang'an Sheji, and women are just a passing moment for you. I thought you would say yes. ”

"Then you didn't consider Yuehua's feelings at that time? Aren't you afraid that she will disobey her to the death? ”

Shao Ziqing shook his head slowly: "Yuehua is not an ordinary woman, she will not regard life as child's play." As long as she can follow her sister back to Xiliang, then I am willing to abandon my ambition to dominate Chang'an, return to Xiliang to succeed to the throne, and promise her a couple for the rest of her life, be my queen of Xiliang, and share the wealth and glory. ”

Yuehua sat aside, listening to the two men mention herself, but she just smiled indifferently, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and took a sip to hide the surging in her heart.

She was originally an ordinary woman, but she never thought that she would become the focus of the coup d'état between the two countries, and Shao Ziqing secretly planned so much for herself.

Mo Guhan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and he was facing Shao Ziqing as a victor from beginning to end.

"So, Li Teng'er originally offered a city in exchange for you to return to Xiliang, but after I refused, I turned to Yuehua, just so that you could promise to return to Xiliang to succeed to the throne?"

Shao Ziqing was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "I rejected Teng'er's request at that time, and I was unwilling to go back to Xiliang, and my attitude was very resolute. In my study, she accidentally found the portrait of Yuehua, knew my affection for her, and recognized that I was stranded in Chang'an because of Yuehua and was unwilling to return to China. Therefore, at the banquet of the peace talks that day, he coldly threw out those astonishing words. I didn't know beforehand. ”

Yuehua lowered her head and thought, no wonder Li Teng'er's attitude towards herself was so inexplicable. At the beginning, he was-for-tat, provoking the relationship between Mo Guhan and himself, and then coldly proposing the matter of harmony, which turned out to be for a reason, and it came from this.
