Ningguo Kyoto.

The backyard of Tai College.

A lone lamp, a pot of new tea, two people.

Zhong Lisu sat opposite the flower garden, his face full of melancholy.

After listening to Li Wenhan say something on the Peach Blossom Mountain in Guangling City, he rushed to Kyoto without stopping and went to the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.

However, his father, Zhong Lipo, was not at home.

No one knows where he went.

This made Zhong Lisu more and more uneasy.

He came to Tai Academy and found Hua Manting.

He took the cup of tea handed over by Hua Manting, but he didn't take a sip.

"You...... Is it Xi Wei? ”

Hua Manting smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at Zhong Lisu, and asked, "Why do you think I'm Xi Wei?" ”

"Because in March two years ago, my mother quietly went back to Guangling City, and I heard that the county lord of Yun'an was also in Guangling City at that time, and you happened to appear in Guangling City!"

Hua Manting picked up the teacup and blew it, "It doesn't matter if I'm a curtain or not,"

He raised his eyes to look at Zhong Lisu again, "Since you have come to Kyoto, I want to come to Li Wenhan to tell you something." ”

"The old man wants to know, what is your attitude now?"

Zhong Lisu sighed for three breaths, he already understood the meaning of Hua Manting's words, and also understood what Li Wenhan's vague words on Peach Blossom Mountain meant.

But there are many things he doesn't understand—

"Why did my father do that?"

"It doesn't make sense at all!"

"The relationship between father and mother is known to the world and is a legendary ......"

"Today's Dingguo Marquis Mansion is more stable than ever, even if Li Chenan is not the emperor and Xiao Wu is the emperor, it is absolutely impossible for him to do anything to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion."

"The Marquis Mansion itself does not have any dissent!"

"I just want to know, my father and he...... Why do you do this?! ”

Hua Manting sighed for three breaths, put down the teacup and looked at Zhong Lisu:

"Feelings are like peach blossoms, they are very beautiful when they are in full bloom, and they are gradually disliked when they wither, when all the petals fall to the ground, and the bare branches are left...... It no longer attracts attention, and even is disliked. ”

"So unbreakable feelings are very few, especially love!"

"And everyone has desires."

"The size of the desire is usually determined by the position or identity of the person."

"In the past, Zhongli Mansion could indeed determine the country, but now it ......"

"If suddenly a crown is placed in front of you...... You can reach out and take this crown and put it on your head, and from then on you will have supreme power and status,"

"Can you resist such a temptation?"

"How many people can be as sober as your mother?"

Zhongli was stunned, he opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

What is the greatest power in the world?

It's the imperial power!

If you have imperial power, you will have the four seas, and you will have millions of subjects!

You can put your ideals into practice!

You can easily satisfy all kinds of desires you need!

What is the strife in the world?

Isn't it for the sake of the supreme power?

If this crown is really placed in front of him, can he be indifferent?

It doesn't seem to be!

No, it certainly can't!

In this world, there is only one exception.

He is Li Chen'an!

At this moment, Hua Lao Ru asked like this, Zhong Lisu roughly understood, but he still felt ridiculous:

"What do you mean...... My father, he still wants to rebel and become emperor? ”

"He's sixty-three!"

"The Marquis Mansion of Dingguo is also a transcendent existence in Ningguo!"

"The last time Wen Shoufu also proposed to appoint his father as a general, he refused."

"How could he have the intention of becoming an emperor?"

Hua Manting kept looking at Zhong Lisu.

He was now convinced that Zhong Lisu really didn't know the origin of Zhong Li's mansion.

When Hua Manting slowly told Zhong Lisu about the cause and effect, Zhong Lisu seemed to have been struck by thunder.

He was shocked beyond measure.

His eyes widened in disbelief and he stared at Hua Manting.

“…… That's impossible! ”

Hua Manting smiled slightly, "It's really impossible, but the authorities are fascinated!" ”

"Your mother tried hard to persuade your father, but what happened?"

"Instead of turning back, your father ......"

"Hey......" Hua Manting sighed: "The old man knew too late, otherwise, how could your mother die so unwillingly!" ”

Zhongli's mind was in turmoil.

He didn't believe that Zhongli Mansion was a descendant of the Great Departure Empire.

This is ridiculous!

He couldn't believe that his father would kill his mother!

Nearly 40 years have passed since I can remember, and my father and mother have not even quarreled with each other.

How can my father do it?

"It can't be!"

"Why can't it be?"

"......" Zhong Lisu choked, and then listened to Hua Manting and said:

"In all dynasties, in order to be emperors, is it rare for fathers and sons to kill each other, and brothers to turn against each other?"

"Not uncommon!"

"No matter how loving the relationship between husband and wife is, it is difficult to resist the temptation outside."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, since you are here, the old man still asks you that sentence, you, how to choose?"

Zhong Lisu picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

He stood up and suddenly laughed: "It's been a thousand years, and there are still some bullshit descendants of the imperial family!" ”

"I have been in Guangling City for a long time, and I am used to this kind of life."

"I only hope that Li Chenan can cure my daughter's illness and that they can get married for a hundred years......"

"If Li Chenan becomes the emperor of Ningguo, this is naturally the best. But if he doesn't want to, I won't object. ”

"As for what you said about my father......"

Zhong Lisu raised his head and looked at the peach tree on the edge of the courtyard.

In this gentle night breeze, a piece of peach blossoms fell.

When I return to the Peach Blossom Villa in Guangling City, I am afraid that all the peach blossoms in the garden have withered.

"If the flower is going to fall, let it fall."

"I just hope it doesn't come out with a bad fruit!"

"Dingguo Marquis Mansion...... Since he is no longer in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, Wen Shoufu can ban it. ”

"But Zhongli Mansion, I still hope it can exist and live forever."

Hua Manting also stood up.

He also went to the peach tree and picked up the fallen peach blossoms.

"It depends on whether Li Chenan can return safely!"

Zhongli stiffened, and he understood the meaning of Hua Manting's words-

If Li Chenan dies on the Forgetfulness Stage.

If only my father was in the Forgetfulness Table.

Father is the culprit!

The crime of killing the regent is not something that can be exonerated by banning a Dingguo Prince's Mansion, and Zhongli Mansion will inevitably be affected by it.

Zhong Lisu turned around, looked at Hua Manting, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't worry about the chaos in Shuzhou?" ”

Hua Manting grinned: "If Li Chen'an dies, many people will be sad, including the old man!" ”

"If he dies, it doesn't matter if Ning Guocun is there or not, do you think anyone will care about whether Shuzhou is chaotic or not?"

Zhong Lisu retracted his gaze, and after a while, he walked up, his voice was very lonely in the night wind:

"I see."

Hua Manting looked at Zhong Lisu's lonely back and sighed.

He looked at the peach tree again.

One of his hands landed on the trunk of the peach tree, and he murmured:

"When that peach blossom falls, it means that spring will be ......"

"Yang Sixian!"

The door to the hut creaked open.

An old man with a broken arm walked out.

"Hua Lao, what do you command?"

"Help the old man send a letter to Su Muxin!"

"Also...... Go and invite Cheng Jingting to have a cup of tea, and his granddaughter Cheng Yiren is by Zhongli Qiuyang's side...... Guangling Water Division, can't mess up! ”

Yang Sixian bowed and asked:

"Flower old ...... Regent...... What if there is a real danger? ”

Hua Manting sighed three times: "The county lord of Yun'an will go crazy, and the world will be in chaos!" ”

"Wen Zhuyu sent a letter to Emperor Wu."

"Emperor Wu is not a fool, since he is back in power, he should do something."
