On this day, Ah Ping came back from Chaozhong in the afternoon, and when I asked him why he was so early, he smiled and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so it is better to disperse early." The tone sounded calm, but I felt a hint of bitterness hidden in it.

didn't want to ask more about the court, so he simply changed the topic: "Have they all been arranged?" ”

He nodded, reached out and straightened my sideburns and said, "Don't worry, I've sent guards to send them all away, and they won't gather in one place and go in all directions." ”

After returning to the palace, I proposed to him to place some people, such as Xiaotong, such as Yuan'er and Yue'er's two children. Xiaotong is my younger brother, and I have made him lonely for the first half of his life, and I can no longer let him die in this palace because of me; And the two children are the people I care about the most, and they are also the people that Ah Ping is most concerned about, and I must send them away from the land of right and wrong before the last come.

He left secretly from a secret passage, and this matter must be strictly guarded, and the slightest rumor must not be revealed. It's not that I want to reverse history in this matter, but the real historical memory point is only in the main one, and the records of Emperor Jianwen can't be too different, but his sons want to come to the historical records are only one or two. As for Xiaotong, not to mention, he was not a historical figure, and his disappearance would not attract anyone's attention.

Yun Gu also asked her to leave the palace and go home, Xiaoxiao will be a doctor in the future when she belongs to the Tai Hospital, and the palace maids who usually serve me and Ah Ping I just sent them to the other palace. Because it is not his surname usurper, Zhu Di is not good at killing by nature, even if he attacks the imperial city, he will not kill all the people in the harem.

The only people I care about are Yan Qi and Uncle Mu, but I don't have to worry about it, Ah Ping directly ordered the two of them to take Yuan'er and Yue'er away respectively, and the safety of the two princes fell on their shoulders. When they received the holy decree, their eyes were extremely shocked, but they did not dare to disobey the holy decree, so they had to grit their teeth and obey the order.

Uncle Mu is a tough guy, after receiving the holy decree, he took the look on his face, and swore to the sky that he would do his best to ensure that Yue'er arrived in Rongcheng safely. When Uncle Mu retreated, Yan Qi still tightened the holy decree and refused to go down, his face showed sadness, and Ah Ping only sat indifferently at the table and drank tea from beginning to end.

Yan Qi finally couldn't help it, but he knelt heavily in front of Ah Ping with two knees, raised his head and shouted bitterly: "Childe, why can't you leave with me and Uncle Mu?" There's no point in staying. And you sent me and Uncle Mu out of the palace, what are you going to do with her? Are you waiting for Zhu Di to enter the city to martyr? ”

My heart jumped, and I was martyred...... I subconsciously turned my eyes to look at Ah Ping, was he thinking so in his heart?

In the next moment, Yan Qi's negative voice pulled back my attention: "No, it's impossible, Childe, you can't decide like this." You are reluctant to bury her with you, do you have other plans, but you have to leave me behind, you can't ......"

"Can't?" Ah Ping suddenly cut off his words, and slowly stood up from behind the table, leaned forward with his hands on the table, stared at Yan Qi's eyes, and said word by word: "You still don't know me after following me for so many years?" The emperor's father handed over the country to me, but I watched it perish in my own hands, do you think I still have the slightest chance of abandoning the city and fleeing? Xiao Qi, Yuan'er grew up under your watch, and now I will hand him over to your guard for the rest of my life, so I should be loyal to my last. ”

Hearing this, I suddenly felt sad, except for me and the children Yan Qi is the closest person to Ah Ping, he does not call himself "I", but "you and me", and he is shaking Yan Qi's stubbornness with affection.

And from Yan Qi's point of view, it is even more cruel, he originally had hatred in his heart but was buried for Ah Ping, he has lived for Ah Ping all his life, presumably there is no one in the world who is more loyal to Ah Ping than Yan Qi. Now he is asked to give up all this to live alone, and he has no choice but to put the burden of protecting the prince on his shoulders......

My nose was sour, after all, I had lived together for several years, relying on each other, like sisters and brothers.

In the end, Yan Qi still left, and when he turned around, I saw two lines of tears on his face, and when he walked to the door, he paused and whispered, "Childe, see you in the next life." After a pause, he probably wanted to say goodbye to me, but he didn't say anything.

Ah Ping didn't entrust the wrong person, Yuan'er and Uncle Mu both watched the two children grow up, and they didn't hand it over to anyone to them. And the two of them are also people who Ah Ping and I don't want to be trapped and die in the imperial city, so I took this opportunity to arrange them all.

Yuan'er and Yue'er were sent away at night, and the two children were still asleep. Yue'er is too young for me to say much to her, Yuan'er has explained something to him. I didn't send it, I just stood at the secret passage and looked at the two children with attachment, I don't know if life and death are separated, I hope they can live in a corner of this time and space even without me and Ah Ping.

With so many people sent away at once, the palace became empty. Fortunately, Ah Ping was by his side at night, and we went to bed early after eating and talking, but I was the only one left in the palace when he went to the palace during the day.

There is a palace maid named Xiaoye who specializes in preparing meals, and during the morning meal, I asked her if the emperor had an order to come back for dinner, she said no, and asked about the schedule, and replied that I am twelve today.

I only looked around after I sent her back, June 12, the last day of the day.

Ah Ping didn't come back until the evening, and when I went to untie his cloak and asked why it was so late today, he replied with a slight groan: "I beheaded Xu Zengshou." I had never heard this name before, so I couldn't help asking: "Who is Xu Zengshou?" ”

"The son of Xu Da."

I was stunned, it is impossible not to know the name of Xu Da, it is a legendary figure who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang. It stands to reason that his son's status in the Ming Dynasty is extremely lofty, but Ah Ping just said that he would behead this person. "What did he do?" I asked.

"Xu Zengshou wants to seek internal responses and sort out external enemies, but he is planning chaos and should be beheaded."

I was shocked when I heard this, Xu Zengshou wants to surrender to Zhu Di? Suddenly, I thought that Zhu Di's wife was Xu Da's eldest daughter, and I had a few encounters with him, if it weren't for Xu Miaoyun, I was afraid that I would not be able to escape from Beiping. The reason why Xu Zengshou rebelled was found, he was Zhu Di's brother-in-law, and he belonged to helping relatives in terms of behavior.

Now that he was killed by Ah Ping in front of others, I am afraid that he is also powerful to the ministers.

I didn't ask any more questions, but pulled him over for dinner, and then rubbed his back in front of the bath after dinner. After the two of them finished bathing, Ah Ping asked me if I was sleepy, I shook my head, I'm afraid I can't sleep tonight.

He smiled and said, "Since you are not sleepy, let's go for a walk."

So the two walked out of the palace gate, and also sent the palace people to accompany them, and we walked on the secluded palace road. Occasionally, when you meet a palace maid or eunuch, you will kneel down and respectfully call "the emperor, the queen's mother", and when you walk by, Ah Ping whispered: "I'm afraid it's the last time I'll hear such a name." I glanced at him, "Regret?" ”

He sneered: "What's the regret, I forced you to be this queen, and you definitely don't like it with your heart." As for me, the emperor is a shackle given to me by my grandfather, and I can't take off it, and now it's the end. ”

I didn't want the topic to be heavy at the end of the night, so I changed my perspective: "It is said that the emperor has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, what do you think of this?" ”

Ah Ping's reply was: "Have you seen any three palaces and six courtyards in me?" ”

"Didn't there be concubines in the past?"

"And where did they go?"

I couldn't help but purse the corners of my lips and smile, Ah Ping's approach in this matter was very neat, but at the time I remember that I was furious about it and had a big cold war with him. At this time, thinking about his identity and the situation at that time, I am afraid that I can't help myself.

But I may be able to back down on other things, but this one, I won't back down. After all, my education is new-age, not the ancient system of three wives and four concubines, and if there is a third or fourth person between two people, then the relationship cannot be pure. I'm going to be the only one, not the one.

However, after opening this chatterbox, he naturally wouldn't show weakness to him, and deliberately replied: "Don't you say that all the women in the harem are yours?" That's a lot of palace maids. ”

"Oh, there are indeed three palaces and six courtyards. I'll order them all to get together, count how many people there are, and see if they're qualified to compete with you. "Ah Pingsha has a good idea.

I glanced at him, "Okay, I'll pick someone out of your sight and send it to the dormitory." ”

"What about you?"

"Of course I'll have to make room for you, yes, it's good, I'll just move here."

Before I knew it, we had walked to the hut, and I had not had a chance to go back to the village of Ginkgo Biloba not long ago, and the contents had been moved here, and it must have been an empty house.

When Ah Ping pulled me into the door, he threw a sentence: "If you move here, I will come with you." ”

"And what about the one you fancied?"

"Wait outside the house."

I couldn't help but laugh, "What did you do when you chose someone else and let you wait outside the house?" ”

"Naturally, I'm waiting to serve you."

Slightly stunned, "Didn't you choose it for yourself?" How did it become a service to me? He raised his eyebrows and asked back: "There is a jealous queen here, can I choose for myself?" If you choose, you can't make a big mess in the harem. ”

I chuckled, nodded his forehead and said, "As for the harem chaos?" And where do I love to be jealous, I call sticking to principles. When you love me, don't have others, don't love me, I won't care who you find. ”

"Then I guess there is no such opportunity, you want to live alone, there is no door."
