Chapter 362: Let me understand a truth
Hearing that Zhong Wen was going to enter the palace to treat the emperor, Li Yan and Shu Shu's faces changed at the same time.
After seeing the miraculous effect of the "Life Creation Pill", they knew that Li Jiuye's awakening was a foregone conclusion.
However, the Wine Venerable, who had always been inseparable from Li Jiuye, did not show much joy, but frowned, with a strange look on his face.
"Sister Nangong, I want to accompany the princess sister into the palace. Zhong Wen said to Nangong Ling, "These three injured Spirit Venerables will not pose any threat for a while, and the remaining Wine Venerables, with Sister Qinglian and Feng Xi and the two Venerables here, can't make any waves if they want to, so I bother you to worry about this matter." ”
"Go ahead, and we'll take care of the rest. Nangong Ling nodded, and suddenly said inexplicably, "It's just ...... That His Majesty the Emperor may not need your treatment. ”
"What?" Zhong Wen said curiously.
"Nothing. Nangong Ling shook his head and said with a slight smile, "Go ahead, maybe I guessed wrong." ”
Zhong Wen saw that she didn't want to say more, and she didn't insist, so she made a "cooing" sound in her mouth.
The bald eagle fluttered its wings and stopped in front of him with great meekness.
"Sister Princess, go up. Zhong Wen patted the back of the carving, turned his head to Li Yiru and smiled slightly, "Let you experience the feeling of flying at high altitude." ”
"I ...... Is that okay?"
Li Yiru looked at the huge and majestic bald eagle, a little curious, and a little scared, and her pretty face showed hesitation.
"Don't look at it as vicious, it's actually very docile. Zhong Wen laughed and stroked the feathers on the neck of the bald eagle, "It won't bite." ”
The bald eagle was touched by his neck, feeling very comfortable, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, trembling slightly, like a kitten and puppy whose belly was kneaded, it looked extremely comfortable.
Seeing the bald eagle so cute, Li Yiru finally stopped hesitating, slowly approached the bald eagle, and under the guidance of Zhong Wen, turned over and jumped on the back of the eagle, and firmly grasped a handful of feathers on the eagle's neck.
"Goo!" Zhong Wen commanded again.
The bald eagle held its head high, flapped its wings violently, and "swished" into the sky, and soon hid in the clouds, never to be seen clearly.
"Beauties, I'm going, don't miss me too much!" Zhong Wen smiled and waved his hand at Thirteen Niang, Shangguan Mingyue and the others, and then kicked his feet, and jumped into the sky, chasing the bald eagle away.
Shangguan Mingyue, Thirteen Niang and Coral watched Zhong Wen's figure turn into a dot in the air, gradually drifting away, and finally disappeared without a trace, as if they were watching a hero who stepped on colorful auspicious clouds, and for a while his thoughts were different, but no one spoke.
The crown prince Li Yan still knelt on the ground, only to feel that his knees were like pins and needles, and he was in great pain, and he wanted to stand up, but he didn't dare, and he fell into a very embarrassing situation.
"Master Shu. Nangong Ling didn't pay attention to Li Yan, but turned his head to look at Shu Shushu, the secretary of the military department who was standing on the side and seemed to have been forgotten by Zhong Wen, and asked a strange word, "Which one are you loyal to?"
......
"Is this what it's like to fly in the sky?" Li Yiru clinged to the back of the bald eagle, feeling the strong wind blowing on both sides and the rapidly receding clouds, and the slightly pale pink cheeks were full of excitement.
"Are you afraid?" Zhong Wen walked in the air on the right side of the bald eagle, seemingly strolling leisurely, but the speed was comparable to that of a bird of prey.
"I was a little scared at first, but now I'm very comfortable. Li Yiru replied calmly, "I always feel that if I fly like this, I can forget all the unhappy things." ”
"What's upset about Sister Princess?" Zhong Wen grinned, "Saying it makes me happy?"
"How can there be a person like you?" Li Yiru couldn't help laughing, "poof" and said with a smile, "Do you have to build your own happiness on the unhappiness of others?"
"Isn't it?" Zhong Wen laughed, "Most people in the world are like this, they were originally miserable, but if they see others living worse than me, they suddenly feel that they are actually not bad." ”
"Why, if the people around me are sad all day long, I won't be happy. Li Yiru shook her head and expressed her disapproval, "I hope everyone is happy, and I will be happy." ”
Zhong Wen stared at Li Yiru's gentle and delicate face for a long time before he said: "In the royal family, it is really rare to be able to cultivate such a character as a princess sister. ”
"If you are born in the emperor's family, do you have to become like the eldest emperor?" Li Yiru recalled what Li Yan had done before, and couldn't help but turn pale, and said in frustration, "Is the throne really so good?
"The throne is a good thing. Zhong Wen shrugged his shoulders and replied, "When you become the emperor, you become the most powerful person in the entire empire, and everyone has to listen to you, isn't it a very cool thing?"
Li Yiru blinked a pair of beautiful big eyes, with a blank look, and couldn't understand where the cool point of being an emperor was.
Zhong Wen was about to say something more, when he suddenly looked at the palace that had appeared in front of him, and his face showed an incredible look.
"Here, let's go down. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke.
The bald eagle was extremely fast, and the distance was not far, and the destination soon appeared below the two of them.
Li Yiru glanced at Zhong Wen with a little surprise, not understanding how he knew the location of the emperor's bedroom.
"Sister Princess. Zhong Wen turned his head to look at Li Yiru, and said softly, "You wait here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
Li Yiru showed a puzzled look on her face, and the sentence "I'll go with you" hadn't come out yet, but she saw Zhong Wen's figure flashing and disappeared without a trace.
There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she met Shu Yun's surprised eyes.
......
With Zhong Wen's current cultivation, he has been able to enter and exit freely in the palace, and the "Great Law of Breathing" has been unleashed, even if he is a Lingzun boss, he may not be able to find his trace.
But in just a few breaths, he appeared in Li Jiuye's bedroom.
Without hesitation, I opened the door in front of me, and was greeted by a golden screen with exquisite workmanship and gorgeous patterns.
Bypassing the screen, two standing figures appeared in front of me.
Zhong Wen recognized at a glance that the person on the left side was dressed in golden clothes and was none other than Emperor Li Jiuye.
And standing beside the emperor was an old man with crane hair and a childish face and a red face.
Feeling that the old man was a little familiar, Zhong Wen searched carefully in his mind for a moment, and recalled that this person was Imperial Doctor Sun, who had a relationship with Prince Wu's mansion.
"You're here. ”
As if he had expected Zhong Wen to come, Li Jiuye said slowly, with a tone that had been waiting for a long time.
Li ...... Your Majesty, aren't you sick?"
Zhong Wen had already sensed Li Jiuye's breath, but when he saw him, he was still a little dazed.
"Are you here to treat me?" Li Jiuye's eyes flashed with a hint of unnaturalness.
"Yes. ”
Of course, he wouldn't say that the main purpose of coming to the imperial capital was to save Thirteen Niang, and treating Li Jiuye's illness was just a stopby.
"You have a heart. Li Jiuye said gently.
"Have you recovered?" Zhong Wen stared into his eyes and said word by word, "Or did you never fall ill at all?"
Li Jiuye was silent and did not answer.
Countless pictures flashed in Zhong Wen's mind, and at this moment, he was like an initiation, and he suddenly realized it.
"No wonder Sister Nangong told me that maybe Your Majesty doesn't need my treatment. Zhong Wen muttered, "It's no wonder that Senior Jiu and Commander Xuanyuan already knew what the prince had done before they arrived at the East Palace. ”
"Sure enough, can't you hide it from that girl from the Nangong family?" Li Jiuye's face showed approval, "Among all the people I have seen, if it comes to wisdom, there is really no one who can beat it, and that Xiao Wuru is not even worthy of lifting her shoes." ”
"Your Majesty is doing this to trick the prince into making mistakes, so that he can find an excuse to set up another prince?" Zhong Wen felt an unhappy feeling brewing and fermenting in his heart.
"Although I am dissatisfied with the prince, I am not so bored. Li Jiuye shook his head, "The source of this matter is still in Nangong girl." ”
"Oh?" Zhong Wen was stunned.
"After the rebellion in the imperial capital, I had a meeting with that girl. Li Jiuye seemed to open the conversation box and spoke eloquently, "At that time, she reminded me to pay attention to Shu Shu. ”
"I know that Nangong girl has always been very witty, since she said this, it must not be groundless, so I planted eyeliner next to Shu Shu. ”
Sure enough, after I led the troops to the battle, Shu Shu had close contacts with the prince, and even used his power to seek a lot of benefits for the prince. Li Jiuye talked to himself, regardless of whether Zhong Wen was listening or not.
"The minister's choice to take sides is nothing, although it is a little premature, but it does not make me too angry. Li Jiuye continued, "However, the development of events has greatly surprised me. ”
"The prince's temperament needs to be polished, and I deliberately let the third eunuch of the country just want to remind him and let him reflect on himself. ”
As a result, he thought that his crown prince was going to be replaced, and in a panic, he actually sent someone to kidnap Sun Lao's own grandson and coerce Sun Lao to poison me. ”
"It seems that Elder Sun is loyal to His Majesty and has not yielded. Zhong Wen glanced at Imperial Doctor Sun and said meaningfully.
"This is what the prince dislikes me the most. Li Jiuye's next words made Zhong Wen feel a chill in his heart, "As a future emperor, you can be ruthless and ruthless, but you must know how to grasp human nature. ”
"With the character of the third child, even if I want to pass the throne to him, he may not be willing to accept it, and the prince doesn't even know his brother's character, this is one of them. ”
"Needless to say, Imperial Doctor Sun is loyal to me, and what is even more ridiculous is that he didn't know that Sun Lao had three grandsons, and Sun Heng, who was kidnapped by him, was the one who was the least liked by Sun Lao, and this was the second. ”
"Shu Shu's character has always liked to be left and right, never take the initiative to stand in line, like a loach slippery and do not keep his hands, but after I showed my preference for the third child, I took the initiative to come to the prince, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has other plans, but the prince still naively thinks that it is due to his prestige, this is the third. ”
"I can't understand human nature and recognize reality again and again, so how can I trust the country to him with confidence?" Li Jiuye's eyes were full of disappointment.
"So Your Majesty will do what you want, pretend to be sick, and let the prince continue to make mistakes?" Zhong Wen asked lightly.
"Yes, I want to see how far my prince will go if I let it go, after all, the abolition of the prince is not a trivial matter, and there needs to be a good reason. Li Jiuye sighed and continued, "In addition, I am also a little curious about Shu Shu's true purpose. ”
"However, until now, I still haven't figured out what Shu Shu is making waves for, but what the prince did is really an eye-opener for me. ”
"Your Majesty, I don't understand the deceit between these royal fathers and sons, and I don't really want to understand it. Zhong Wen's voice gradually cooled.
"You don't seem happy to see that I'm not sick. Li Jiuye was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the agreement between you and me?"
"Are you talking about Thirteen Niang and Coral?" Li Jiuye suddenly realized, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "The prince will take them first, and I am quite surprised." ”
"If I don't arrive in time, will Your Majesty take action to save Thirteen Niang and Shangguan's father and daughter?" Zhong Wen looked at Li Jiuye coldly, "There is one of them, but your third princess." ”
“...... I don't want to lie to you. Li Jiuye pondered for a long time before he slowly replied, "What happened in the East Palace today, I will not intervene, the prince can continue to do whatever he wants, and I will not wake up until Shu Shu reveals his true purpose." ”
"Your Majesty has broken the agreement between you and me. At this moment, there was a raging fire burning in Zhong Wen's heart.
"It's that I can't stop you. Li Jiuye said softly, "For the stability and prosperity of Daqian, I must know who the person behind Shu Shu is, and I can't take care of it so much for a while." ”
"Does Your Majesty know what happened in the East Palace just now?" Zhong Wen suddenly asked.
"Before you arrived, I had received the news. Li Jiuye nodded, his eyes uncontrollably showing surprise, "I can't imagine that in just a few tens of days, you have grown to such a point, it's unimaginable." ”
"There are thousands of ways to find out what Shushu really means. Zhong Wen's voice carried a trace of anger and a trace of sadness, "But Your Majesty chose to sacrifice Shangguan's father and daughter, I am afraid that there may not be no intention of using the hands of the prince to seize Shengyu Commercial Bank." ”
Li Jiuye's body trembled slightly, and his complexion changed slightly.
"As for the agreement between you and me, I'm afraid that Your Majesty has not taken it to heart at all. Zhong Wen's voice became higher and higher, "In your eyes, Thirteen Niang and Coral are just two folk women from humble backgrounds, and if they are sacrificed, they will be sacrificed, and even your own daughter is just a dispensable chess piece." ”
Li Jiuye seemed to want to open his mouth to deny it, but in the end he still didn't say a word.
"I'm a lazy person, and I don't have much interest in power or money. Zhong Wen's voice suddenly calmed down, "The only thing I care about is family and friendship." ”
"I am willing to give the Shangguan family, the Nangong family and the Thirteen Niang some compensation. Li Jiuye sighed and said.
"This incident made me understand a truth. Zhong Wen didn't pay attention to him, just said to himself, "That is the emperor's ruthlessness, what I care about, in the eyes of His Majesty, is just a floating cloud." ”
"Zhong Wen ......"
"Since Your Majesty does not regard me as a friend, then I will also teach Your Majesty a truth. Zhong Wen suddenly said loudly, "Aside from friendship, in this world, whoever has the big fist has the final say!"
As he spoke, an unparalleled momentum emanated from him, instantly filling the entire room.
