The inner palace of the Imperial Palace.

A snow-shirted figure floated by, stopped in the pavilion, and looked at the Aoba Hall over there, deep and complex, and tapped his toes and headed towards the Aoba Hall.

In the dark room, Shan Liye stroked one of the portraits of a masked woman, and a faint sigh echoed in the empty dark room.

In that dream, the woman's loving smile was imprinted in the bottom of her heart, and no matter whether she had seen her mother with her own eyes or not, she had no regrets.

"Ye'er?"

The moment Shan Liye turned around, the person at the door of the dark room seemed to be flustered, and then, the person suddenly thought of something, and there was a moment of loss in his eyes.

She is not Ye'er, but she has a similar appearance.

The purple clothes walked into the dark room, his eyes swept around, and there was a lot of nostalgia in his eyes, and after a long while, the emperor sat down on the side of the chessboard.

Seeing the emperor sit down, Shan Liye sat on the opposite side of the chess game, she didn't notice that the emperor in front of her was overworked, and the gray hairs in his ears couldn't be counted, he was seriously ill, but he still came to the dark room of the Qingye Palace.

Inside, everything about the woman is locked.

Shan Liye suddenly raised a smile: "Your Majesty, you must like her very much." ”

Even if the person is gone, he can still make the emperor favor so far.

"Some people will never be forgotten in this life." The light purple sleeves were on the chessboard, and the pale complexion spread out a smile: "When I see you, I always feel like she is back, but she doesn't like to laugh like you, and your smile now is not as good as before. ”

"Those people think I did it." Shan Liye lowered his eyes and couldn't explain his emotions: "Does the emperor think so too?" ”

"Even if you do it, so what?"

This sentence is a bit scornful, the life and death of several people in Longyi Villa, the emperor in front of him didn't care about it, whether she killed or not, it didn't matter much to the emperor.

Shan Liye was speechless for a while.

"The grievances in the rivers and lakes are like this, you kill me, I kill you, retribution for injustice, the world is the enemy, I have worked in vain all my life, and I can't solve such troubled rivers and lakes." The Emperor sighed with hatred: "If I had the ability, she might not have died like that...... You told me that she was really killed by Long Shifeng? ”

"I'm still looking." She didn't say anything else.

"If that's the case, Long Shifeng is damned." The Emperor solemnized his tone and coughed again.

Looking at the emperor's sick face, Shan Liye sighed slightly, there were disputes in the rivers and lakes, and so did the court, she never imagined that the prince would poison the emperor, so father and son killed each other, although the poison has been resolved, but the body of the person is damaged.

"The prince rebelled, my brother is a close minister of the prince, even if he doesn't do anything, he will inevitably be involved, why would the emperor let my brother go?" She slowly lowered her eyes, looking at the endgame under her eyes, the people who should have been killed were finally changed to exile, and the emperor spared Long Jianchen's life.

"You still think he's an older brother?"

"Although there is no blood, the friendship is still there."

"I'm a little lucky." The emperor's face was calm.

She didn't know: "Rejoice in what?" ”

"If I really killed him at that time, you are afraid that you will only seek revenge from me now." The Emperor smiled: "What I said, right? ”

"The emperor laughed."

The emperor lowered his head slightly, sighed, gently picked up the chess pieces, coughed a few times, and his face was touched: "However, if something like this happened in Longyi Villa, he may not still treat you as a sister." ”

She smiled bitterly, knowing in her heart.

"Why are you here tonight?" The emperor asked.

"Seven years ago, I came to the palace, I came to this dark room." Shan Liye looked around the four walls: "I came with a teenager." ”

"At that time, there was a woman who desperately wanted to pour medicine into the young man's mouth, the young man refused, crying and begging for mercy, he called his father and the emperor to call his father, and called his mother, but the woman was indifferent, and still dragged the young man to force him to comply, and finally, the woman seemed to say something, and the young man showed a hopeless look, and suddenly stopped struggling."

The emperor was slightly stunned, his face frozen.

"Your Majesty." Shan Liye gently shouted out the prestige of the person in front of her, and the words behind her paused slightly, and after a long time, she still asked: "Do you know, what did the woman say, and why did the young man decide to die in the end?" ”

The emperor looked at him with some ridicule: "He may think that even if he doesn't die at the hands of that woman, I will kill him, no matter what, he will die." ”

"Why did the emperor kill him?" She was puzzled.

"Because, he's just like you."

Like her?

Shan Liye didn't understand.

"The only difference is that he is a prince, he can be literate and martial, and he is a very good seedling, but it's a pity that ......" The emperor lowered his expression: "He is not my son." ”

The shocking words spread, she didn't expect the emperor to tell the truth, but she didn't expect the emperor to say so directly, and she didn't expect the truth to be so shocking.

As a prince, as a prince, but not the son of the emperor, this is a shame for ordinary men, let alone an emperor?

"But the emperor didn't kill him."

Even if the truth is known.

"It stands to reason that he deserves to die." The emperor's face was a little uneasy, but he quickly slowly recovered: "When Ye'er entered the palace, she got along very well with Luo Xuan, who was four or five years old, and she seemed to like children very much. ”

Shan Liye understood.

This is the reason why the emperor did not kill.

"I promised Ye'er, I can't be untrustworthy." The Emperor shook his head and sighed: "Seven years ago, I let Luo Xuan go to Xuehu City alone, hoping that he would never come back. ”

King Yiding, easy and peaceful, is to let Luo Xuan live a stable and comfortable life, to be a clear but unreal prince, he should not interfere in things that should not be done, no matter how good he is, he will not let him contact the government again.

And Luo Xuan, as the emperor expected, never started the government and politics, nor did he care, and he created the mysterious Biluo Pavilion on the rivers and lakes incognito, occupying a place, and the identity of the prince was not a shame and burden for him.

"Does this amnesty decree that my mother mentioned to the emperor also include the prince's mother, Concubine Yu?"

If you put aside the other concubines, I am afraid that you will already be in the cold palace or given to death, but the emperor did not do that, and still kept Concubine Yu and placed her in the harem, and her grace was not broken.

"Ye'er and Concubine Yu get along, and they talk the most with Concubine Yu." The emperor raised his eyes to look at Shan Liye, he could see her thoughts, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the purple sleeve robe was raised: "I have never blamed Concubine Yu, it's not her fault, it's a long time ago, don't mention it." ”

Shan Liye knew that since ancient times, kings have been amorous, and he has been loving husband and wife for many years, and he also has affection for Concubine Yu.

The woman of the Aoba Hall is just a favorite that you can't get.

"Then why, the emperor let Luo Xuan come back?" Shan Liye couldn't help but ask after all.

"Back then, I let Luo Xuan secretly investigate Ye'er's death, and after Luo Xuan went to Xuehu City, the matter was over, but I didn't have time." The emperor raised his faint face: "Even if the crown prince has not been poisoned, I don't have time, I want to know, how did she die, but no matter how I coerce and lure, Luo Xuan refuses to investigate further." ”

The emperor now only has two sons left under his knees, and the emperor has a request for King Yiding, so he naturally lowered his figure, but let the prince misunderstand, thinking that the emperor likes King Yiding and wants to abolish the prince, so he plotted to rebel.

But she knew that the emperor was seriously ill at the moment, and the position of the prince was vacant, which would make Xiyan chaotic, even if the prince rebelled against the confinement, when the turmoil passed, it would be released again in time.

No matter how good King Yiding is, he is never in consideration.

"Now that your daughter is investigating, I don't need to interfere." The emperor said: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes will be solved by the methods of your people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Shan Liye nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing her pondering, the emperor lowered his eyelids: "I heard that your chess skills are good, before Ye'er went to the Yuanshan Temple, he left this endgame with me, can you accompany me to finish it?" ”

"Okay." As soon as he was accustomed to it, Shan Liye raised his hand, picked up the disorganized chess pieces, and then slowly asked, "My mother, why do you want to go to Yuanshan Temple?" ”

She gently rubbed the chess pieces in her hand, and her heart was also uneasy, she only knew what she said on the face, saying that she was going to pray for the child.

"Her fetal image is unstable, Bingqiong jade liquid can't work, someone told her that if you want to keep the child, only there is medicine in the Yuanshan Temple, she has only cared about the child since she entered the palace, never paid attention to me, and ignored my feelings, I was arguing with her at the time, and I was a little angry, so I was angry and let her go alone."

Speaking of that past, the emperor's hand trembled slightly: "She entered the palace, I tried to crown her as the queen, I cherished her very much, loved her, although I knew that she didn't like me, I have always forbeared, always thought that my true heart would move her, but at this time I didn't endure it anymore, so many years, I regret it, regret why I didn't accompany her, I never waited for her to come back, never saw her again, even the corpse they stopped me from seeing, and later, even the corpse was gone......"

"If I hadn't been angry, I could have protected her, wouldn't she have died like this......

Shan Liye was speechless for a long time, and when the emperor calmed down, she slowly asked: "Back then, who asked my mother to go to Yuanshan Temple?" ”。

The emperor dropped the sunspot and pronounced the name that he hated so much: "Long Shifeng." ”
