Luo Qingzhi listened quietly to Gao Yan talking about the past.

He said that the queen who was imprisoned by Gao Huan was actually the deceased princess of King Pingbei.

"Did my father know about it at that time?"

Luo Qingzhi asked her own question, Gao Yan was silent for a while, and finally nodded, saying, "At first, I really didn't know how to tell my master about this, and besides, I still couldn't be sure that the queen mother was the princess, so I could only arrange for them to meet."

"And then?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Yan recalled, "The master is sure that the queen mother is the princess, and then," Gao Yan paused, sighed, and continued, "The master went to confront the imperial brother."

"Did the Emperor admit it?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Yan shook his head, "They talked privately, and I don't know the result."

The sound of the rain grew louder and louder, and the raindrops hit the eaves, ticking, ticking, and striking at her heart.

"Just now, I heard Ah Mu saying Ah Mi, who is she?"

Gao Yan only paused for a second before he spoke, "Didn't you guess the answer?"

Luo Qingzhi closed her eyes and said self-deprecatingly, "No wonder, you don't like Gao Zhen so much, it turns out that he is not only the only living son of the first emperor, but also his son-in-law."

Gao Yan asked, "Ah Luo, what is your answer?"

「......」

Luo Qingzhi pushed open the door of the hall, the sound of rain became even worse, she walked to the porch, looked at the heavy rain that had become like a waterfall, smiled, and asked, "I actually have no choice at all, do I?"

Gao Yan followed behind, finally unbearable, "Ah Luo, you can have a choice, if you really don't want to, I'll send you out."

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "No, I don't have it."

After this night, Luo Qingzhi had a high fever and was confused, as if she had seen Luo Huaiyi, Gao Zhen, and even Luo Qingrou.

She finally understood why they all had to fight to protect Gao Zhen, which was both fulfillment and atonement.

On the second day, after Luo Qingzhi's fever subsided, Gao Yan's will also came down.

"Luo Qingzhi, the lord of Anning, is the princess of Anning, the regent, and is a product."

After the decree was read, the eunuch at the head put down the red porcelain vase.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's will has arrived, and the slave and maid have retired."

Luo Qingzhi nodded.

She pulled back from the left and right, picked up the porcelain vase, and looked at it for a long time.

She walked to the bed, and a pigeon flew in, and she looked at the black mark on its paws, determined that it was a pigeon from Lhofu, and removed the letterhead from its feet.

Releasing the pigeons, she slowly opened the note.

"Ah Luo, the flowers on Mo are blooming, and you can return slowly."

Luo Qingzhi looked at the note, then turned to look at the things on the desk, she smiled, "After all, I'm going to be responsible for you." :

She carefully smoothed the note, folded it up, and carefully tucked it into her sleeve.

Returning to the bookcase, he picked up the porcelain bottle without hesitation and drank the antidote.

Yuzhou

Since Luo Qingzhi left, at first, Gao Zhen just spent one hour a day waiting at the door, and later, it became two hours, and later, he simply set up tables and chairs at the door to handle official business at the door of Luofu.

"Second son," Feng Zinan couldn't stand it, walked up to his side, and said, "Estimate the time, the young master should have just received the letter, don't wait."

Gao Zhen just shook his head, "It's been ten days, and there is no news at all."

Feng Zinan comforted him, "Don't worry, what the young master promised will definitely be done."

"Let's get the news out." Gao Zhen asked.

Feng Zinan nodded, "Jinling must have received the news, rest assured."

Gao Zhen sighed, "The two-year appointment has arrived, Ah Luo, and he will never leave again."

「...... That year, you and Your Majesty?" Feng Zinan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What did you agree on?"

Gao Zhen didn't want to hide it, and explained, "

That year, when I got the news of Alo's death, I wanted nothing more than to go back to Jinling, and then His Majesty came and told me that it would only take two years, and in two years, everything would be over."

Feng Zinan said, "Do you believe Your Majesty?"

"I don't dare to say anything else, but that's Arlo, and I'm in the same mood as him." Gao Zhen said.

As the two were talking, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Gao Zhen immediately looked over, but it was not the person who was thinking about it.

"The wind is blowing." Feng Zinan said, "Let's go in."

Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, I've been waiting for ten years, and I've been waiting for two years, so I'm not afraid of this day or two."

"But." Feng Zinan said, "We should always deal with the treasures of Yaruzhuo's former dynasty and the affairs of Yizhou's soldiers and horses."

Gao Zhen grinned, "Yes, when Arlo comes back, she should always be surprised."

Qin Shu came on horseback, but his expression was not as bright as it was.

Gao Zhen asked, "There's news."

Qin Shu nodded and dismounted.

"When will you be back?" Gao Zhen asked anxiously.

"Not coming back." Qin Shu said lightly.

Gao Zhen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Qin Shu exhaled and said, "News from the capital, Your Majesty will pass the throne to the crown prince, and the master will be the auxiliary government."

"W-what." Gao Zhen's tone was calm, but his face was not good.

Qin Shu continued, "The master has been named a princess."

Gao Zhen laughed hard, "That's a good thing, my Arlo can naturally be a princess, and it's natural for the auxiliary government to be a princess, it's nothing."

Qin Shu sighed deeply, "Second son, I ask you to resign, I want to go back to Jinling."

「......」

Gao Zhen didn't answer immediately, and turned his head slightly to look at Feng Zinan, "What about you?"

Feng Zinan said calmly, "My mission is to stay by your side."

"Okay." Gao Zhen looked at Qin Shu, "You and I will go to Beijing together."

Qin Shu shook his head, "Second son, the capital, you can't go, you can't go."

Gao Zhen's question was still asked, and Qin Shu explained, "You are already a prisoner, and your portrait is pasted everywhere."

"What are the charges?" Gao Zhen asked.

Qin Shu said, "Rebellion."

Gao Zhen lowered his head, and his released palm gradually clenched into a fist.

"I'm going to ask."

Jinling Imperial City.

After a night of renovation, Luo Qingzhi's appearance had been restored, and Gao Yan called her to go to the Xianyang Palace.

"Arlo, you have read the edict of abdication."

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I've seen it."

"There may be omissions." Gao Yan asked.

"Nope."

Gao Yan nodded, "Then after the review of the Chinese book, it will be delegated to the state capitals."

Luo Qingzhi nodded.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is here." The palace people outside the hall reported.

"Come in."

Concubine Xiao Shu took the prince's hand and slowly entered the palace.

Gao Yan beckoned to the little prince, "Come, Ji'er."

Gao Ji grinned and staggered towards Gao Yan.

"Come," Gao Yan pointed at Luo Qingzhi, "Ji'er, you recognize clearly, from now on, you can only listen to your aunt alone."

Gao Ji could only babble, staring at Luo Qingzhi, and laughing.

Luo Qingzhi squatted down, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Gao Ji took her hand, "Goo, goo."
