In the distance, Chu Zhao also stared at Chu Yi deeply, just like he did every time.

At this moment, a palace maid suddenly approached him while everyone was watching the fireworks, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Niangniang wants to see you."

Chu Zhao's gaze did not move a slightest, and he still looked at Chu Yi steadily.

It wasn't until the palace maid was so anxious that she wanted to speak again that he spoke: "I will never see her again in this life."

A deep voice, without a hint of emotion.

The palace maid was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Niangniang said that you will be taken to Liangzhou for exile in the near future, she, she really can't rest assured, she has something to say to His Royal Highness......

"Your Highness? I'm not Your Highness now," Chu Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said coldly, "If you don't want to die, hurry up and get out of here."

The palace maid trembled with fright, and hurriedly retreated quietly.

Only then did Chu Zhao turn his head and say to Chu Yao, who had heard the conversation between him and the palace maid all the time, "Did you see that person just now, there are still remnants of the Fan family in the palace, only by killing them all, can the palace be completely peaceful and Chu Yi be safe, do you understand?"

"I will keep an eye on this person, and I will never let her hurt Xiaoliu," Chu Yao nodded, and stopped talking, "But the fourth brother ......."

Chu Zhao looked at him and suddenly smiled slightly: "Fourth Highness, you don't have to be afraid of me anymore, I am not your fourth brother anymore."

The flames of light and fire reflected on his pale face, making his eyes warm.

Chu Yao sniffed sharply, his lips pursed into a line.

"No, you will always be my fourth brother!" For a long time, he said word by word with red eyes.

Chu Zhao closed his eyes and didn't let the tears fall.

In his mind, Chu Ye and Chu Rin's angry faces flashed before.

Only then did he realize that he was not left with nothing.

But what he has has has been given up by his own hands.

"Behind the Four Princes' Mansion, there is a tomb, if Your Highness is free, please help the grass people worship on the second day of September every year, that is ......" he said in a low voice, his tone was difficult, "Forsythia's tomb."

"I promise you," Chu Yao said, "But I'll only go for ten years, and after ten years, if the fourth brother still wants someone to worship Forsythia, he will go back to Beijing by himself!"

Chu Zhao didn't speak.

I don't know how long later, the fireworks in the sky dissipated, and he was escorted away by the people of the dark hall.

Chu Yi was a little drunk, she saw Chu Zhao leaving, and wanted to talk to him, but her vision in front of her gradually blurred.

Pillow Xue helped her to walk back, and she suddenly turned around and looked at the black back.

"Fourth Brother......

All she saw was the back, and she called softly.

Chu Zhao heard her voice, paused, and then continued without looking back.

It's good to be her fourth brother all the time.

The banquet dispersed, Xiao Yan watched the sleeping Chu Yi leave, and turned around to come to the Qianyuan Palace.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was slightly drunk, was looking up in a daze, thinking about whether he would go to Yonghua Palace to find the queen tonight, or go to Yonghua Palace to find the queen.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Gongzi asks to see you." Father-in-law Zhang suddenly spread the word.

"Xiao Yan? He has come to do something, preach."

Xiao Yan walked into the hall, saluted respectfully, and said straight to the point: "The minister came here to ask why His Majesty would ask the minister to confirm this matter after the death of the old Jin Emperor today, and why...... Believe what the minister says."

Chu Tingxiao pressed his eyebrows and said, "You saved Liuliu several times before, and you stepped forward in times of crisis, didn't you."

"But what about Wei Rudai? Wei Rudai used to be the daughter of the old Jin Emperor, and few people in Yongguo knew about this matter, why did Your Majesty ...... I knew it a long time ago." Xiao Yan asked.

He knew that Chu Tingxiao had investigated him, but from the first time Chu Tingxiao saw him in the court, his attitude was a little strange.

There was no such situation in the previous life, because in the previous life, when he was celebrating the merit, he knelt down to Chu Zhao in order to save Jiang Zhiying, and the injury worsened, which caused him to be late, and he was calculated by Xu Xiang, so he offended Yan Guo from the beginning.

But this time, Chu Tingxiao was against himself

He is very conniving, not just because of Ah Yi.

When Chu Yi mentioned his family today, a trace of uneasiness appeared in Xiao Yan's heart again.

When he was in a coma before, he had relived the events of his youth in his dreams, but some of his doubts were not only unsolved, but deepened.

Empress Zhao once reminded herself that she was pregnant, and if the child was born, she would definitely be made the crown prince, and she told Wei Rudai about this in advance.

In other words, Wei Rudai should have guessed something before Xiao Jixing rebelled, but she still chose to die with Xiao Ji'an in the rebel army, in the emperor's bedroom.

If she doesn't do it, she has to go to the rivers and lakes and break away from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom?

Chu Tingxiao looked at Xiao Yan's face, remembering Wei Rudai he had seen when he was young, he took the hangover soup brought by Zhang Gonggong and drank it, and the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated a little.

"Well, I don't have to hide anything from you now, in fact, I and your mother Wei Rudai are old acquaintances."

"Old knowledge?"

There was not much surprise in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"It seems that she did have a lot of old knowledge during the years of "wandering the rivers and lakes"."

A few years ago, Chu Feibai and Wushulou appeared, claiming to be Wei Rudai's old acquaintance, because of the strange poison in his body, so he came to try his luck.

He was just able to save Chu Feibai and take the Wudelou into his pocket.

Now, even the Emperor of Yan is her old acquaintance.

"Or, rather, not old knowledge, but ...... Helper." Chu Tingxiao said, with a little more nostalgia in his eyes.

"When I and the queen went to Beifu for disaster relief, they were assassinated by thieves on the way, and the queen was poisoned and dying, it was Wei Rudai who saved her.

I know that after your mother married Xiao Ji'an, her temperament seemed to have changed drastically and she did a lot of things to hurt you, but at least she was kind-hearted at that time, and saving the queen was equivalent to saving me.

So, even because of this kindness, I am willing to believe that you will not hurt Liuliu."

Chu Tingxiao thought of the high-spirited young ghost doctor in his memory, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I see. Dare to ask Your Majesty, when did Wei Rudai's rescue of the queen happen?"

Chu Tingxiao recalled and said, "At that time, Liuliu and Chu Yao had not yet been born, and Wei Rudai had not yet married Xiao Ji'an, so it was naturally almost twenty years ago."

Xiao Yan fell into deep thought, Wei Rudai saved the queen, that is, saved Ah Yi, who was not yet born.

But Wei Rudai twenty years ago, not even ten years old, how could she be so powerful? She is a princess, how can she become a ghost doctor?

"Ahem," Chu Tingxiao coughed, interrupting Xiao Yan's thoughts, and said earnestly, "Xiao Yan, you are still young, don't think that your mother saved me, I will be at ease with you, don't forget, you are from Yongguo."

"And oh, I am absolutely, and I will never marry Liuliu to another country!" He said categorically.

Leaving the Qianyuan Palace, Xiao Yan still repeated the last words of Chu Tingxiao in his mind.

He walked back to Mingyue Pavilion, and the shadow was already drunk alone in the courtyard, and when he saw him coming back, he hurriedly tried to stand up straight.

"Son, Childe!"

Xiao Yan said, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so there is no need to be restrained."

Jiang Zhiying humbly filled the wine cup next to him: "Childe, please, this is the apricot blossom drunk and sweet of Yan Kingdom's specialty."

Xiao Yan frowned and took a sip.

How does it seem that everyone knows that he likes to eat sweets?

"By the way, what are the customs of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Jin Kingdom?" He suddenly asked, this was the first time he had tried to understand the Jin Kingdom.

At the mention of his homeland, Jiang Zhiying suddenly wanted to cry, he rubbed his eyes and said:

"When the subordinates left the Jin Kingdom, they were too young, and they only learned martial arts since childhood, and they didn't know what customs, but the subordinates still remembered that when they were in the genus, they saw Princess Hanyan marrying the high priest and were on Chinese New Year's Eve." br>

He seemed to remember the scene of that day, and he was a little excited: "On that day, the whole city was full of fire, and the procession of gongs and drums rang from day to night, and the people were full of people, and the subordinates had never seen such a grand scene...

…」

Xiao Yan's heart moved, and he asked, "The princess with smoke you are talking about is the sister of Wei Rudai and Wei Yuanshan?"

"It's her, Princess Hanyan married the high priest, it should have been a good story at that time, but the high priest is a little old, a few years older than His Royal Highness." The shadow replied.

That's very big, Wei Yuanshan and Chu Tingxiao are the same age, older than Wei Rudai, Wei Hanyan is Wei Rudai's sister, the youngest, so calculated, the high priest may be more than ten years older than Wei Hanyan.

"A fortune teller is just a priest who is confused, how can he marry a princess, is he a prince or a champion?"

Xiao Yan said, thought of Chu Tingxiao's words again, and snorted.

He decided, didn't he just not let Ah Yi marry to another country, if he let Yongguo become Yan Kingdom, he would not have this trouble.

Jiang Zhiying thought for a moment: "The status of the high priest of the Jin Kingdom is almost comparable to that of the prime minister, and my subordinates have heard that the high priest of the past generations has to marry a royal woman, which may be some unwritten tradition."

Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something.

"Childe, what's wrong? What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Yan's face became cold, and he paused word by word: "If this is the case, is it that if there is no Wei Hanyan, marry the high priest, it is...... Wei Rudai."

It turned out that this was the reason why Wei Rudai broke away from the royal family and was willing to go to the rivers and lakes.

"The subordinates followed His Highness, and they didn't hear about it......" Jiang Zhiying's wine completely woke up, "but it is indeed possible."

"Since I heard about it, I will go and confirm whether this matter is true or not, and then go and find out why the high priests of the past generations have married royal women." Xiao Yan's phoenix eyes narrowed, feeling that he had caught something.

Jiang Zhiying nodded: "Yes, my subordinates will check immediately."

Xiao Yan raised his head, drank all the wine in the cup, and looked at the moon hanging in the night after the fireworks dispersed.

Ah Yi is right, if you are homesick, look up at the moon, the moon is the same.

However, he was not homesick.

He was thinking about how to be with his moon.

After drinking alone for a while, Xiao Yan walked back to Mingyue Pavilion and fell asleep.

In Weiyang Palace, Chu Yi had a dream for a long time.

In the dream, it was also Chinese New Year's Eve, and a family of three was standing on the platform of the tower, enjoying the night view.

Chu Yi looked back and saw that the plaque on the top of the spire of the tower read the words "Star Tower", which was probably similar to the stargazing tower of Yan Kingdom.

Among them, the boy who was being wrapped in the arms of a woman in a pale golden palace dress was wearing a thick cotton suit, wrapped like a small ball.

She was sure that this little ball was Xiao Yan.

It's just that Xiao Yan this time is younger than him in his previous dreams, he seems to be only three or four years old, and he said something in a milky voice, Chu Yi looked at him, and his heart softened a lot, but unfortunately he was just a wandering ghost, otherwise he would have poked his fleshy face.

The woman gently held him, looking at the starry sky in the distance, and in the corner of the eaves in the distance, a lantern unique to Chinese New Year's Eve was hung.

Next to their mother and son, stood a tall figure in a red dragon robe.

At this time, the woman bent down and put the boy on the ground: "Yan'er, you go over there and play by yourself for a while, the mother concubine and your father have something to say."

"Okay." The boy giggled, clutched a small wooden sword in his hand, and stumbled into the distance.

Chu Yi, who was in a wandering spirit, was forced to follow the boy until she heard the sound of the two talking behind her.

Chu Yi realized the importance of dialogue, and used all his strength to control his body and stand in the middle of the three people, trying to hear the voices of the man and the woman.

"Rudai, it's time to make a decision, it's a little later, and Yan'er will be able to remember things." The man's voice was low, much younger than Xiao Ji'an in his memory.

"Isn't there a second way? Ji'an, Yan'er is my own flesh and blood, I, how can I let him go through those ......" Wei Rudai's voice came intermittently.

"He's my own flesh and blood, too! But Rudai, for his good, only

Did he break off his feelings like this?

Tea: You're such a clever little ghost.
