CHAPTER XXXVI

I silently praised him in my heart, and the two returned the same way, and when they returned to the Taiji Palace, they found that the hall was still in order, and there was no panic after they left, so they also put their minds at ease.

However, looking at the pieces piled up on the desk, Li Xinghe couldn't help but have a headache again, so many estimates are going to be read at night again.

"Your Highness, let's think about how to block the mouths of the former courtiers, as far as the ministers know, they have received the news of His Majesty's disappearance, and I am afraid that tomorrow morning, the court will ask His Highness for an explanation."

Rong Cheng walked quickly to the hall, he had just received a report from his subordinates, so he informed Li Xinghe of the news.

Li Xinghe was stunned for a while, she didn't expect it to be so soon, originally she was lucky to delay for one more day, maybe Chaozong would be able to come back, but now she can't hide it.

"What will be the worst possible outcome? Li Xinghe's lips were a little pale, but he still asked with his neck stalked.

"The Abolished Emperor." Rong Cheng closed his eyes and spit out two words in his mouth, but he didn't dare to look at Li Xinghe's sad face anymore.

"Your Highness should know the importance of the king of a country, he is the dragon soul guarding Tianlan and the spiritual pillar of the people." Li Xinghe is the only one who can make a decision, and he is only admonishing.

"Hongu knows." Li Xinghe slowly sat back on the wooden chair, his eyes were a little dull, and his face was terrifyingly pale, but there was no trace of ups and downs in his tone.

Rong Cheng quietly withdrew from the hall, leaving all his time to Li Xinghe, he knew that this decision was difficult, and it was even more cruel to a highness who was only sixteen years old. But she is not only Li Chengde's sister, but also the princess of the auxiliary government of the country, and she shoulders the people of Tianlan and the fortune of the country.

That night, the candle flame in the Taiji Hall was never extinguished, and Li Xinghe sat all night, as the eldest princess, she should know what choice to make. But as the eldest sister, all her worries and remorse were crushed in this situation.

Shaking the lottery holder in front of the table, this is what I went to the astrological pavilion in the afternoon to get it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy tonight.

Pop - a bamboo stick was shaken out, Li Xinghe picked it up and signed it. Oh, she doesn't believe in fate, Chaozong said that he will come back, and he will definitely come back.

Sleepless all night, Li Xinghe's state was very poor, and his expression could not hide his tiredness, but fortunately, he had already asked Shi Ying to take his court clothes to the Taiji Hall in the early morning last night.

Early in the morning, Shi Ying entered the hall and found that his Royal Highness was sitting at the desk without moving, which startled Shi Ying.

Seeing that the person who came was Shi Ying, Li Xinghe propped up his head, and his voice was a little hoarse after not closing his eyes all night, and he said lightly,

"Let's dress up the main palace, there is still half an hour before the morning comes."

"Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while, the slaves and maids are tired for you."

Shi Ying opened the makeup she brought and said with some concern.

She is not worried, the heavy dark circles under her eyes, the tiredness on her face, and the lingering worry between her eyebrows, she looks distressed for His Highness.

"I can't rest, hurry up and dress up for the palace, don't miss the hour." Li Xinghe stood up and walked to the dresser on the side, rubbing his temples that were a little painful, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of sequelae from staying up late.

After thinking about it all night, in fact, I had already made a decision, but I was unwilling to persuade myself to accept this fact.

Shi Ying used good fat powder to cover Li Xinghe's dark circles, and used some rouge to improve his complexion, which made Li Xinghe's whole person feel energetic.

"Let's wear that dark blue court dress today, the scarlet one is not suitable for today." Li Xinghe straightened the broken hair between his sideburns, touched the cold pearl jade on the crown, and his heart was also full of coolness.

Shi Ying answered in a low voice on the side, and went to get the dark blue court clothes, thinking that something should have happened for His Royal Highness to react like this, combined with the gossip he heard a few days ago, Shi Ying's eyes suddenly widened.

It should be just a rumor, it must not be because of His Majesty's affairs, Shi Ying kept comforting herself, but her panicked pace exposed her heart.

Li Xinghe turned around to support Shi Ying's somewhat swaying body, two pairs of cold hands clasped each other, the two had read everything in each other's eyes and demeanor, but they tacitly understood it.

The tears in Shi Ying's ninja eyes, but the choked voice couldn't be hidden, and the hands holding Li Xinghe were also tightening, she couldn't imagine what kind of entanglement and sadness Li Xinghe's heart should be in this night.

"The slave and maid change the clothes of His Highness."

Li Xinghe nodded, and obediently let Shi Ying put on the court clothes, delicate like a soulless puppet doll.

After Shi Ying sorted out the jade ornament on Li Xinghe's waist, he took a few steps back, and the early dynasty was about to start.

At the moment when Li Xinghe stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly turned his head, with a shallow smile, a beautiful appearance, and a brilliant appearance.

"After the early dynasty, this palace wants to eat the sweets you made yourself, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I miss it very much."

What she misses is not the taste of sweets, but the happy and comfortable times that will never return in the Chongming Palace, the best memories buried in the depths of her memory.

After today, everything has changed, and they will never go back.

And the Li Xinghe pearl and jade that Shi Ying saw at this time shook the jade, the fragrant jade was tender and delicate and more beautiful than the flower, and the mouth was like containing Zhu Dan, and this stretched smile was even more moving.

The spring flowers are unbearable, the fate is the scenery of the moment, and the scattered stars may also be flying by fireflies. The autumn fruits only wake up the next year, and the winter snow covers the trees and grows green. The most beautiful scenery in the world is life after breaking through despair.

That is, Li Xinghe's last smile, Shi Ying still remembers it until she dies, because it is the hope that is broken after despair.

The last time I wore a vermilion court dress was when I was enshrined as the princess of the auxiliary government to protect the country, symbolizing dignity and festivity, but now this dark blue court dress is only solemn.

In the voice of the ministers chanting Chitose, Li Xinghe stepped on the white jade steps step by step and sat on the golden silk pear flower wooden chair that was only one step away from the dragon chair, his sleeves fell lightly, and he sat down steadily, full of momentum.

Although this momentum is still not comparable to Ji Zhao's group of old ministers, it is more than enough to deter the ministers, Li Xinghe raised his eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes swept back and forth at His Royal Highness's ministers, and he did not intend to take the initiative to speak.

However, after such coercion from Li Xinghe, a few courtiers couldn't stand still, and they stood up with Chao Wat in their hands to tell everyone's questions.

"Your Majesty's life and death are now uncertain, and the return date is even more unpredictable, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, I implore Your Highness to give the ministers an explanation."

As soon as he finished saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the other courtiers naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
