His tone was light, as if he was not talking about his own business, but about someone else.

Ye Zhao was stunned, hooked his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's all over, it's all your father's fault, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

The boy's eyebrows and eyes were calm, and he couldn't see any emotion.

The more this happened, the more Yezhao felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention the things he was hiding from her, judging by his performance, it was impossible for him not to mind his mother's death.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Master, sometimes I often wonder if I shouldn't have come to this world. ”

If he hadn't been born, the mother concubine would not have been infamous for giving birth to a calamity, and she would always be Emperor Suzaku's favorite wife, and she would not be disliked, grounded, or dead.

He will not meet the master, he will not have such a mind, and he will want to ......

Lu Zhizhou lowered his head and didn't continue, but his eyes gradually dimmed.

"How can you think that?" Ye Zhao pursed his lips, "You weren't born, but the concubines who compete with you for favor will still find ways to harm her, and the character of the Vermilion Bird Emperor, he can't always be single-minded ......"

Even if there is no matter of Lu Zhizhou, Emperor Vermilion Bird will be tired of Lu Zhizhou's mother under the passage of time.

And at that time, it was impossible for the concubines of the harem to keep their hands......

"Her tragedy is that she married the Vermilion Bird Emperor and was trapped in the deep palace, instead of giving birth to you." Ye Zhao patted him on the back, "You don't have to blame yourself, she doesn't want to be unhappy to see you in the Spirit of Heaven." ”

"Okay."

Lu Zhizhou responded, and his expression was much soothed.

Ye Zhao looked at the silent old man on the bed, and had new doubts.

Emperor Vermilion Bird is dead, and Lu Zhizhou has mastered the overall situation again, is he ...... Going to succeed to the throne?

If he succeeds to the throne, how can he follow her back?

Ye Zhao was inexplicably a little lost in her heart, she shook her head, forcing herself to abandon that little thought.

"You are about to succeed to the throne, and I am very happy to be a teacher." Ye Zhao pulled out a smile, "It's just that the teacher hasn't thought about what to give you for the time being, and the congratulatory gift will be postponed for a while." ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhizhou looked at her in surprise.

"Master, you misunderstood." He shook his head, "The disciple just wants to finish this matter, so he will go back with you, as for the throne ......"

When he said this, the words suddenly stopped.

Ye Zhao looked at him suspiciously.

If he doesn't succeed to the throne, how will he succeed him?

Although the Xuanling Continent respects the strong and does not discriminate against women, there seems to be no precedent for women to succeed to the throne in the Vermilion Bird Country.

Doubts are doubts, Ye Zhao still believes in Lu Zhizhou's ability to deal with affairs.

Lu Zhizhou didn't explain again, but said: "The disciple has his own arrangements. ”

Ye Zhao nodded, seeing that his face was much better, and asked, "Now...... Can you let go as a teacher? ”

The two of them had just been holding their hands, and Ye Zhao could also feel his body temperature rising.

Seeing him bow, Ye Zhao let go of his hand.

The time was almost up, Lu Zhizhou adjusted his face, with grief in his eyes, Ye Zhao followed behind him, watched him open the door, and said sadly: "Father...... Death! ”

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult for Ye Zhao to connect the person in front of him with Lu Zhizhou, who had choked Emperor Vermilion Bird to death.

Outside, there was a group of concubines and princesses kneeling and sobbing, as well as a group of eunuchs and maidservants, all of whom bowed their heads and wept, as for whether they were sincere or not, I am afraid only they themselves knew.

……

By the time the funeral matters were finalized, it was already the third watch.

Ye Zhao's cultivation is high, but it has no effect, but Lu Zhizhou is very sleepy.

He has always had a strong mental strength, maybe he has been tired recently, and he is a little tired after slackening?

Ye Zhao watched Lu Zhizhou fall asleep, and he didn't relax, at first, the father-in-law Li who was outside the palace suddenly reported that the eldest princess was here.

The eldest princess?

Ye Zhao got up and gave Gonggong Li a look to make his voice quieter.

"Your Highness has already fallen asleep, please come back tomorrow for the eldest princess." Her eyebrows were slightly cold, "Gonggong Li, you are not a stupid person. ”

This Gonggong Li has followed Emperor Vermilion Bird for so many years, and it is impossible to have no vision at all.

Lu Zhizhou was already sleepy until he fell asleep, and at this hour, Gonggong Li actually came to report.

Whoever has a brain, he will not come back to report it, but should refuse the eldest princess.

"This ......" Gonggong Li hesitated, "The eldest princess came to visit late at night, and the slave ...... The slave is afraid that the eldest princess has something extremely important to say......"

Ye Zhao sneered: "Gonggong Li, you didn't even ask clearly, this is the report?" ”

She stood barefoot, her fiery red skirt spread on the floor, her bright face full of mockery.

Gonggong Li knelt on the ground, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "The slave is too eager, please forgive the girl, and the slave will go out to return to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

He didn't know Ye Zhao's identity, but Lu Zhizhou had been holding his hand, and he was also brought in to see Emperor Vermilion Bird, if Lu Zhizhou succeeded to the throne, this girl would definitely be the mother of a country in the future.

He couldn't afford to offend, but he was somewhat unwilling in his heart.

It's just a fox and a fake tiger, relying on Lu Zhizhou to suppress him!

Gonggong Li dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and went out again with a smile on his face.

Yoaki narrowed his eyes.

It seems that even if Lu Zhizhou does not succeed to the throne, she must get rid of this person.

She walked back to the bed, thought for a moment, and when she didn't know where to go, a high-pitched female voice suddenly sounded not far away—

"This palace must see the eldest prince, the stakes are very high at this time, and he can't help it!"

Yoshaki frowned.

This Grandpa Li ......

She had allowed the eldest princess to break in—she had even warned him.

As soon as Ye Zhao turned around, he met a pair of angry eyes, the woman was gorgeously dressed, her appearance was somewhat similar to Lu Zhizhou, and she crossed her hands on her waist domineeringly: "You are the woman brought back by the eldest prince?"

This is the eldest princess?

Ye Zhao was not timid: "Yes." ”

"Bold, before you become the queen, you are so rude, you don't know how to salute when you see this palace!" The eldest princess was angry and pointed at her, "This palace must call the eldest prince to call the shots!" ”

"Oh." Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness can try." ”

She's the one who likes to watch people jump on their feet.

What's more, she really wants to see how Lu Zhizhou is going to clean her up.

"You!" The eldest princess gritted her teeth, "Come on, drag this person out, let her learn how to speak!" ”

As soon as she came back, she heard the bad news of His Majesty's death, and that's it, the heir to the throne who was just picked up, the eldest prince, actually brought back an unidentified woman.

How can a despicable woman ascend to the back seat?!

The eldest princess raised her chin: "You kneel down and beg the palace now, and then leave the eldest prince, the palace can spare your life!" ”
