185. Dust is one
The empress is really old, and her eyes droop when she speaks, but she no longer has the sharpness she used to have.
You'an took the small cup containing the poison in front of her and splashed it directly on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my courage, I am willing to negotiate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of Your Majesty, please ask the prince to supervise the country first and then ascend the throne, whether it is Li Tang or Wu Zhou, it is always in the same vein." ”
The empress was silent for a long time, but You'an became more and more sure that she had guessed her mind. Things have developed to the point where it is absolutely impossible for the civil and military officials outside to return in vain. They supported Li Xian to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne and restore Li Tang, that is, to change the dynasty, and a generation of empresses would not become the king of the dead country, which was absolutely unacceptable to the empress.
You'an knew that it was useless to be anxious, and the empress must be weighing the pros and cons. She heard the Empress let out a long sigh: "I really didn't expect that you would be the lobbyist in the middle tonight, and you would be the only one who came. ”
The last sentence, listening to You'an's ears, suddenly felt a little sad, Princess Taiping or Shangguan Wan'er, and even Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong's conspiratorial Wu Sansi to support the throne of God, all chose to quietly avoid this night. Even she herself was willing to show up at this time, just hoping to persuade the empress to come down from the dragon chair earlier.
The empress held a scroll of holy decrees in her hand and shook it open in front of You'an: "I haven't written an edict in my own hand for many years, you let the prince come in personally and take it." ”
You'an glanced at it hurriedly, and sure enough, it was not much different from his conjecture, it was an edict ordering the prince to supervise the country. detoured such a bend in order to tell the world that the transfer of the throne to the crown prince was voluntary by the empress, and it was not the result of the prince's coercion with his troops.
The people outside the hall were already impatient, and when You'an came out, he specially asked Li Xian to put aside those ministers and talk to him alone. She knew Li Xian's temperament, and she couldn't help but persuade, it was too easy to be swayed by other people's opinions, and the ministers had one opinion for each person, so I was afraid that the matter would not be settled again.
She originally prepared a lot of words to confess to Li Xian, but as soon as she said what she meant, Li Xian nodded and agreed: "Just do what you say, before they forced her to come out today, Xiu'er said, if possible, you might as well listen to your opinion on things that are difficult to decide." ”
You'an was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, Wei Xiu'er guessed that she would definitely participate in this matter, and saw that she would still choose to support Li Tang, she was full of hatred and still didn't kill them all, thinking that she still felt that she still had this use.
Li Xian dressed up and entered the inner hall alone according to the empress's request. You'an knew that the big thing had been settled, and hurried out of the hall. She saw Li Dan in the most inconspicuous part of the crowd, and at a glance, Li Dan avoided her gaze. You'an followed his line of sight and saw Pei Shizhen sitting on the ground leaning against a big stone, the clothes on his chest were already stained with a large patch, which was bloodstained after being shot by an arrow, but it was not conspicuous on the purple clothes.
You'an walked over quickly, and before anyone got close, he just heard a soldier ask Li Dan: "What should this Pei Jun do?" It seems that although Pei Shizhen led away the hidden arrow for Li Dan, these forbidden soldiers did not intend to treat him as a meritorious person, and still guarded him with knives left and right, and did not even treat the wound on his chest.
Before Li Dan could speak, Pei Shizhen himself smiled: "For such a simple matter, do you still need to ask His Highness what he means, Zhang Yizhidu is already in a different place, and it is already a great grace that I did not die." With every word, he coughed heavily, causing more blood to spill from his chest wound.
Pei Shizhen looked up and saw You'an, smiled at her, his eyes stared at her face for a moment, his eyes were extremely soft, and the previous flamboyant obedience was gone.
In order to meet the empress, You'an has washed off the traces left by the drug on her face and restored her original appearance.
Looking at this face that he thought about day and night, Pei Shizhen only felt infinite peace in his heart, his life was already a twisted joke, but he never regretted saving her who had just been born that year. He did think about taking her with him to hell for eternity, but the moment he saw her features, he was completely relieved, and only hoped that she would be at peace, as her mother had given her.
"I will fulfill my promise to you." You'an said stiffly.
Pei Shizhen still just smiled, but didn't speak, and when he saw the familiar facial features, he was the same as before, unable to say a word.
He wanted to forget it, he was just throwing a tantrum with her, and it would be nice to know that she still remembered it in her heart.
He wanted to say that if there was an afterlife, he didn't want to be talented, he just wanted to know the best h2 in the world earlier
