In the capital, Ye Shu rode out of the city to meet Zhao Changle.

The carriage carrying her appeared on the official road, and it was the hottest time of the day. Ye Shu was sweating profusely, jumped off the horse, and opened the curtain of the car.

He had been looking for someone for a month, and he was inside.

She was drowsy and wilted by the heat.

The two looked at each other, and a sudden primitive smile crept up Ye Shuhan's face.

He stretched out his hand to the human, who had been away from home for a long time: "Xianggong will take you on horseback." ”

Zhao Changle handed him his hand.

Along the way, the men chattered endlessly, and the talk was all homely.

Before dismounting, Zhao Changle looked at him in the eyes and said, "Can you not kill Chen Zijin?" ”

Ye Shu stretched out the hand that was about to take her and crossed it on his waist, still looking young and handsome.

He said, "It's not that I'm going to kill him, it's that he deserves to die." He colluded with Tuoba Sheng to kill the first emperor, and then blamed me, disturbed Chaogang, and sought to seize the throne. Every sin was enough for him to die a hundred times......"

"I know," Zhao Changle interrupted him, "but I don't have to kill him, confine him, exile, or go to prison and be reduced to a commoner...... Anything goes. ”

The man's usual face turned cold little by little.

"Ye Shu~" Zhao Changle got off the horse and took his hand, and begged, "Please, let him go?" ”

When the Zhao Manchus were convicted, she did not intercede. Zhao Chengbi was exiled, she never pleaded, and the Zhao family declined, she didn't even mention it, but wanted to intercede for Chen Zijin. She really didn't have any feelings for that person, no wonder she couldn't find her for a month.

Ye Shu suppressed the suspicion and anger that came up, and held her hand without a trace of heat under the hot summer sun, "Go home first, you're tired." ”

After washing away the exhaustion, eating again, and resting all night, Zhao Changle didn't find a chance to speak.

Obviously, Ye Shu didn't want to let Chen Zijin go, but it wasn't long before Liqiu......

"Cui Hu-" Zhao Changle waited in the front yard, shouting from afar to stop the people who had returned to Beijing to take up their posts.

It's not the first time Cui Hu has seen Zhao Changle. He hurriedly walked over and bowed his hand: "I have seen the county lord, and the lower official is about to visit the county lord." ”

"No need to be polite," Zhao Changle motioned for him to go with him. The two of them were talking under the Yimen.

Zhao Changle looked for Cui Hu and asked for something.

"Lord Qiyu, this is probably not something that can be swayed by a few words from the lower officials," Cui Hu directly refused.

Zhao Changle looked at him: "I will find someone to join you." ”

Cui Hu: "...... Be. ”

It is impossible for him to refuse all the time, and who the county lord is looking for, Cui Hu also wants to get it.

The next day. Cui Hu glanced at Jiao Zhiming, Huang Meng, Xin Kangcheng and others who met in the mansion, and they all understood that everyone was invited by the county lord to come to Ye Shu to intercede.

Today is different from the past, Ye Shu has been promoted from the Great Sima to the regent, in fact, to put it bluntly, he is the second emperor, and he has to decide on all matters in the Chen State, and everyone will spontaneously come to the palace to wait before the court every day.

He is only one title away from that position, who dares to say anything? Everyone was expecting the others to speak first, but no one spoke, watching the morning scatter......

In the prison of Dali Temple, Zhao Changle brought things to see Chen Zijin.

He was dressed in white, with a disheveled head, and sat on a narrow bed looking at the skylight, giving only a disheartened silhouette.

Zhao Changle stood outside the cell for a long time, and did not see her until the sound of other places reminded Chen Zijin.

"Here it is," his face regained his life, as if he had waited for a long time, without grumbling, without sorrow.

Zhao Changle felt a thorn in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head to put down the food box and baggage.

Chen Zijin got up and walked over, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be sad, I deserve it, sooner or later there will be this day." ”

She shook her head, not wanting to think so, nor wanting to talk about it.

"Changle ......," he grabbed the railing with his bruised hand, lowered his voice, and asked her in general weeping, "instead of cheering up as you expected, he became a despicable and shameless person...... Will you look down on me? ”

"No," she said, her eyes moistened, holding her breath, word by word, "Changle will always stand by your side." And I, I will save you. ”

Chen Zijin couldn't hear the difference. He smiled sadly and relieved, two lines of tears spreading across his emaciated cheeks.

Heaven has been unfair to him.

Zhao Changle vowed to save him.

As soon as she walked out of the prison, the eunuch who had been waiting outside for a long time came forward to invite her into the palace—the old queen mother was gone.

Zhao Changle sighed in his heart and rushed to the palace.

The eunuch of Hanzhang Hall blocked the door and said: "I'm sorry for the county lord, the old queen mother has just left and is packing up her remains, and the county lord can't go in at this time." ”

Zhao Changle couldn't help but stop outside the hall in a hurry, and asked carefully: "How did the old queen mother go?" So suddenly. ”

The eunuch's skin and flesh did not move, "The old queen mother is crazy every day, and the imperial doctor said that she has stimulated madness, and her life will ......not be long," he covered his mouth disrespectfully, and said in a faster voice, "It's not a sudden departure." ”

This eunuch is not talking about how the old queen mother didn't have it, but he is justifying that these minions are not careless.

When these words were heard in Zhao Changle's ears, he only felt harsh.

She looked at the eunuch, "I might have gone in?" ”

The eunuch looked into the hall and told her with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't yet." ”

She can't wait any longer, this person is clearly consuming her here.

She could have slapped this person far away, but entering the hall to see the queen was not the end.

Zhao Changle went towards Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace is the palace of the current Queen of Heaven.

Before he got closer, Zhao Changle heard a burst of laughter like a copper bell, and when he looked up, Ye Shu was holding a white and tender child, and Su Tianling was teasing him by his side.

The fatherly light on Ye Shu's face was very dazzling.

Stopping her in front of the old queen mother's palace, letting her come and begging her, and then deliberately letting her see such a happy scene, is Su Tianling's purpose? Such a small trick is too superficial.

Zhao Changle looked at them without any emotion, waiting outside the hall gate until Ye Shu saw her.

"Why are you here?" Ye Shu handed the child to Su Tianling and walked towards her.

"My aunt is dead," Zhao Changle didn't walk in, watching Ye Shu stop and wrinkle his brows. She looked away at Su Tianling, "I ask the Queen Mother to go with me to meet my aunt, after all, it's not just my aunt." ”

Su Tianling's expression was as if he had just known about this. "The imperial doctor has diagnosed the pulse many times before, saying that the old queen mother has run out of oil and the lamp has dried up, and the mourning family thought that this time it was also ......" Her eyes were red, and she handed the little emperor to the grandmother beside her, "She is very wrong, and she must have the veneers that she should have, and I will send it myself." Let the regent accompany the mourning family. ”

Ye Shu took Zhao Changle's hand, which looked a little too cold, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
