Spring Breeze Tea House Mansion.

With a gloomy expression, the prince slowly walked out of the corridor of the secret room, looked back deeply at the pavilion, and closed the door without emotion.

A moment later.

Taking the silk silk handed over by the waiter outside the door of the mansion, Li Baijiao slowly and meticulously wiped the blood stains on his palms.

He whispered, "What's going on over there in the East?"

Gonggong Hai handed over a silk book.

The Eastern War was bounded by Taozhi City, which stretched for thousands of miles, and the battle was fierce, with a large number of cultivators killed and injured in the Three Holy Mountains every day...... This civil war, which could not use the Red River as a help, consumed the savings of the East for a hundred years.

Liuli Mountain is very difficult to hold.

It's just as hard to get around.

The prince of the four realms holds the three realms, and apart from Lingshan, there is no better card to play.

Zhongzhou Academy and Luojia Mountain have rushed to the aid and mobilized the western border...... There is no doubt that it is an extremely stupid approach, those ghost cultivators are killing on a large scale, slaughtering living beings, specializing in delaying wars, there are glass lamps to absorb the soul, the wick reshapes the body, and the five calamities and ten tribulations under Han Yue's seat, there are almost no worries.

"Lingshan has just joined the battlefield, and Daze in the eastern realm has been attacked by the enemy, and the ghost cultivation has converged a lot. Hai Gonggong said softly: "The edict on the evacuation of the people has just been promulgated, and the deposed envoys of the cities east of the battle line are organizing the evacuation, and Zhongzhou, which is responsible for accepting refugees, will have a lot of pressure in the future. ”

Li Baijiao read the silk book in silence.

"Your Highness, tomorrow in the court, I am afraid that there will be a big backlash against this edict. Gonggong Hai knew that he was talkative, but he still mentioned it: "Those officials who coordinate the cities of Zhongzhou are ...... for refugees Very resistant. Do you really want the eastern front of Zhongzhou to open the city gate and accept the displaced people?"

Li Baijiao sat in the carriage, gently pressed the silk book with both hands, and said softly: "Do you remember the inscription on the plaque of Chenglong Palace?"

Hai Gonggong was stunned at first.

The eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "How dare the old slave forget...... The plaque of the Chenglong Hall is engraved with the four characters of Jian Ji Suiyou, which is written by His Majesty the Emperor himself. ”

"Jian Ji Suiyou. Li Baijiao smiled and said: "In the scorching tide, the plaque was broken in the battle, and the main hall reformulated a new plaque, engraved these four characters on the plaque again, and hung it in front of the hall. ”

"The order of the Son of Heaven is to inherit the iron law at the top and put the people at the bottom. ”

The thin young man sitting in the carriage had a soft, but categorical voice: "I fought with Moby Dick, those innocent homeless, who should not be harmed. ”

Haigong Gonggong was silent.

The carriage and horses were moving slowly, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

In this stagnant silence, the carriage slowly stopped, and Grandpa Hai, who was in charge of accompanying him, raised his brows, and he stared gloomily at the woman who stopped in the middle of the road.

A thin beauty, dressed in plain clothes, her face is not angry, but it makes people feel very sad, the tips of her eyebrows are three points sad, the wind blows, the robe blows, and the thin body bones protrude.

She stood in the middle of the path so bleakly and coldly, without saying a word or moving a single step.

"Suhua Niangniang...... "Father-in-law Hai said coldly: "Do you know ......"

A hand gently pressed on Grandpa Hai's shoulder.

"It doesn't matter. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled softly and said, "Suhua Niangniang, what are you doing?"

......

......

"I want to see my daughter. ”

The woman who was invited into the carriage and rode with the prince was extremely straightforward in her first sentence after getting on the train.

The crown prince shook his head.

This shake of the head is the answer.

The woman's pupils were no longer dim, so when she heard this answer, her complexion did not change, but her voice repeated it more heavily.

"I want to see ...... My daughter!"

"You can't see it. The prince also responded bluntly, "This palace can't help you." ”

"No......" Su Hua's voice became excited, she pressed Li Baijiao's shoulders with both hands, and this scene was clearly seen by Gonggong Hai outside the service car through the curtain.

The crown prince cast a stop at Gong Hai.

The eunuch suppressed his steps and accompanied the carriage and horse step by step, always on guard against this Suhua lady taking out the knife from her sleeve...... In fact, he hadn't seen Suhua Niangniang for a long time, and after the scorching tide, this Niangniang's spirit seemed to have some problems, and she closed herself in the palace wall courtyard all day long, isolated from the world.

"Qi Yu is dead. Su Hua said in a trembling voice: "...... You killed it. ”

The prince was silent.

"I'm dying too...... woman's voice was crying, "but I'm not afraid of death, I just want to see Bai Tao before I die, she is your sister after all, why is she so ruthless?"

Calm and cautious, like Li Baijiao, did not expect that there would be a scene of "stopping the car" today.

Li Baijiao said slowly: "What do you think...... I killed her?"

Dead.

Su Hua Niangniang stared at the prince.

Yes.

That's what she guessed...... That's why she stopped the car today.

"Qi Yu's death has nothing to do with me. She hanged herself. The prince said softly: "The battle between me and Moby Dick for the throne will not affect the harem...... As for your daughter, she is alive and well. ”

The woman looked confused.

She ...... Where?"

The prince shook his head and remained silent.

"Please, let me see her. The woman's hair fell, and she lamented, "When Qi Yu was in power, I did do many things to be sorry for your mother...... I am willing to be punished, and I am willing to die to atone for my sins. I beg your kindness. ”

"Suhua Niangniang. ”

The prince's voice became much more cold and divided, as if he were calling out to a stranger whom he had never met.

He pushed Su Hua's hands away and looked at the woman very indifferently.

Living in the harem, how could he suddenly "go crazy"......

He had already guessed the cause and effect of all this.

Not much has passed since the Long Table.

And the last time he entered the palace, the "distinguished guest" was Song Jinglian, who had just broken the marriage contract with Li Baitao.

The prince looked at the woman.

His own mother died very early.

When he was still young and not very sensible, he died in the palace, it was a twilight and bloody dusk, and at the end of the day's schoolwork, he pushed open the pavilion and saw the queen mother lying on the table, as if asleep.

The tea of the tea cup curled up in the mist, and the woman's demeanor was serene and dignified.

Unlike usual, no matter how much I shouted, I couldn't wake her up.

The poisoned maidservant hanged herself, and all clues came to an abrupt end...... The days that followed changed a little, the courtyard wall was overgrown with wild grass, and no one came to plough it anymore, and I pushed open the pavilion by myself, and I could no longer see that kind smile.

Growing up lonely and lonely.

The most lively place is the "East Palace" of Qi Yu Niangniang...... Li Baijiao watched his younger brother grow up little by little, showing his grandeur little by little, standing in the light.

And he could only retreat in silence, hiding in the darkness.

The hardest and most painful days...... He couldn't remember it clearly, those pains were as deep as a carving knife, but when he was young, he was ignorant, time was like flowing water, and he couldn't hold it no matter how hard he tried.

This is true of happiness, and so is pain.

When he gradually understood the meaning of "pain" and "loss", he realized that the grief left by his youth would not dissipate, and the longer the time, the deeper the scar.

He had thought more than once about making the real murderer of his mother pay......

But later.

When he really had the power, he didn't choose to do so.

"Those bronze mirrors, paper figures, and tricks in Suhua Palace have never been managed by this hall. The prince sighed and said quietly: "No matter where you got the news this time...... Hopefully there won't be another time. ”

The woman whimpered weakly, she clasped her cheeks in her hands, and said in a staccato voice, "Your Highness, I heard that my daughter is in prison...... Why can't you let me see her?"

"Someone ransomed her from prison. ”

This news should not have been told to her, but the prince still said it.

"The daughter you want to see is not here. ”

Su Hua Niangniang raised her head in confusion and looked at Li Baijiao...... Not here?

If you are not here, does it mean that you are not in the Imperial Palace, not in Tiandu City, or is it ......

"Drop-off. Li Baijiao waved his hand.

......

......

The carriage continued.

Li Baijiao closed his eyes and recalled the picture of the dark lord of the Spring Breeze Teahouse.

"Prince...... Your Highness. ”

"If you want to sit on the True Dragon Throne, you ...... now It's not enough. ”

Under the light of the crown fire, the black lotus flower burned and boiled, and finally a petal was broken and scattered, turning into nothingness, and the old man with the black lotus engraved on his forehead seemed to regain a moment of clarity.

"Not enough?"

"I climbed the Changling Tomb and broke through the fog, but I couldn't sit down...... Because that's not where you belong in the first place. After the gloom on the old man's face was broken, he looked kind and gentle, "You are not a qualified emperor yet. ”

"So what?"

Do you really want to dominate the four realms and kill all the heirs of the imperial blood?

True Dragon Throne, can you recognize yourself?

"Sitting on the throne is actually related to the strength of the emperor's blood...... Independent. The old man revealed a shocking secret, "Two thousand years ago, although the Lionheart King sat on the throne, he actually did not have imperial blood in his body. ”

Although he was shocked in his heart, his face was still calm.

"I'm still ...... What's missing?"

The black lotus flower that burns slowly in the light blooms with dazzling brilliance.

Yuan Chun spoke softly, "Your Highness, you still lack a true ...... The Emperor's Heart. ”

Emperor's Heart......

"If you want to sit on that throne, you need to be more ruthless. Heartless people, need more kindness......" The old man's voice began to tremble, the battle between light and shadow came to an end, and the shadow of the lotus petals regained the upper hand.

"Haha......" he smiled, "haha...... What kind of person does Your Highness think you are?"

There was a stab.

A puddle of blood splattered out.

In the small pavilion, the porcelain white woman's skin was splashing hot blood, and the old man who was sunk in the darkness smiling and sucking the woman's body, greedily and hungrily sucking the blood.

Li Baijiao covered his cheek with one hand.

He slowly flipped his palm, staring at the splattered blood in his palm.

"The merciful, the merciful......"

The carriage was bumpy.

The prince stared at his palm, which had already wiped off the blood.

Black Lotus Yuan Chun's question kept echoing in his heart, and he kept introspecting.

Myself...... What kind of person is it?
