Huayang Pavilion in Zichen Hall has always been the place where He Ye lives, and now it has also become his temporary forbidden place, which is guarded by the Xiao Guard Zuo Lang General himself, but in the end there is still a Jiang Yuan left around the King of Jin, since the King of Jin was banned from the dormitory two days ago, this loyal chamberlain knows that the general trend has gone, and he is anxious, at this time he no longer expects the master to succeed to the throne logically, and is full of worry that the Queen Mother will come here to cut the grass and eradicate the roots after stabilizing the overall situation.

However, although Jiang Yu was anxious, he still conscientiously carried out the instructions of the King of Jin, and prevented Zuo Lang from openly entering the house to monitor: "The Jin King has always been impatient, if Lang will be too disrespectful, I am afraid that there will be conflicts, and the current situation is urgent, in order to determine the overall situation, it is better not to make side dishes." ”

Zuo Lang will have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he was originally unwilling to obey the eunuch envoys in the district, but he was still a little afraid of the notorious His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so he specially asked Dou Fu'an, Dou Fu'an knew that Jiang Yu was "his own person", and he did not doubt that he would have two hearts, and knew that the Queen Mother did not plan to turn her face with He Ye for the time being, but she did not care about these subtleties: "As long as the King of Jin is strictly prevented from leaving the forbidden place." ”

Therefore, at this time, Lu Li received the order to come here, Zuo Lang checked the token, but did not follow in, and Jiang Yuan, who was guarding the outer hall of the dormitory, heard the "squeak" of the door, and at that moment he almost thought that the executioner pushed the door in, almost desperate, until he saw through the dim light that it was Xue Luli, the living man, and he was slightly relieved - although it is not sure whether this is friend or foe, but after all, he is only a civil official, and it is unlikely that he will take on such a bloody task as giving death, neither for death, maybe things will still turn around.

The dark and dreary hall also made Lu Li's mood a little more worried, in fact, he was not familiar with the heart of King Jin, and he was not fully sure that he could really persuade this compromise, but he thought that this opportunity was that Liu Guifei did not hesitate to exchange her life for it, and he witnessed the appearance of Eleven Niang crying bitterly earlier, he didn't need any communication with her at all, and he already understood that he resolutely could not waste this good opportunity and let Guifei die in vain.

Different from the more open Son of Heaven's dormitory, although Huayang Pavilion is not so empty, but because of the unburned charcoal pillar at this time, even the copper furnace brazier is not set up, and there is no lamp and candle brilliance, and there is only one candle in the entire outer hall, which is lonely and swaying on the knee case, and there seems to be a cold surging in the unpredictable gloom.

Lu Li took a deep breath, and it was easy to restrain this daunting and gloomy feeling, and explained his intention to Jiang Yuan.

"Squire, please come in, the king is in the inner hall." Jiang Yu kindly handed over the only candlelight, obviously he had no intention of following in.

Although this dormitory is called a pavilion, but because it is built on the left wing of the Son of Heaven's dormitory, although it is tired of the top layer, it can not live in the upper floor, and there is only a carved door leaf between the inner hall and the outer hall, and it is not like the other place where the veil hangs down the brocade tent and ten times, so the flickering moonlight can shine through the window, Lu Li almost at a glance can distinguish the figure sitting cross-legged in front of the window, motionless as if the old monk is in a fixed state, when holding the candlelight closer, the long eyebrows and cold eyes gradually emerge from the darkness, He Ye and the young man with blood-red eyes wandering around two days ago were like two people, calm and abnormal, but on the contrary, his bones were sharp and sharp, as if an ancient cold sword had just been unsheathed after being frozen for many years, and he saw blood when he moved.

He Ye didn't seem surprised by Lu Li's arrival, he just watched motionlessly.

The candle was placed on the knee table, and Lu Li sat down when he saw it, raised his eyes and looked at He Ye for a few breaths, before he said, "The saint has died." ”

He saw He Ye suddenly close his eyes, the fist on his lap was clenched, his cheeks were tight, obviously trying his best to restrain his emotions, and after being silent for a while, he finally opened his eyes again, his sorrow floated in the air, and he sank into the dark ink in an instant, and spoke, his voice was astringent and hoarse, like an old man, no young man should have a clear light: "I saw a fire in the northwest direction earlier, could it be a concubine ......?"

"The concubine burned the palace and committed suicide."

He Ye's fist on his knee protruded again, but this time he suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly, but it was obviously not a smile: "I haven't burned the palace to commit suicide now, should I be protected by Xue Shilang?" If Xue Shilang is really the queen mother's internal response, where the fire is soaring, there should be no shortage of this Huayang Pavilion. ”

"The concubine was not killed, she really survived." Lu Li saw that He Ye was not like thunder, but unexpectedly calm, but he had great confidence in the responsibility on his shoulders, and at this time he no longer hid a lot, and quickly explained the situation in the palace and outside the palace in a few days, the only thing that was not explained was that many of the events were actually expected and planned by Eleven Niang.

"So, did my brother really leave a testament to pass on He Er?" He Ye was still calm, and his eyes were close to Lu Li.

Lu Li did not avoid it: "The king should know that the reason why the saint has this decision is also a last resort, is to save the king's life." ”

"The concubine's self-immolation is also to keep me safe, in fact, Sister Ah is not so desperate, she is just a concubine in the deep palace, if she doesn't collect the national seal, the queen mother doesn't have to coerce her, even if the situation is difficult in the future, but there is no worry about her life." He Ye lifted the corners of his lips again: "How many people died with hatred in vain, in exchange for me to survive?" ”

"No one expected that the concubine would be so resolute, but even if the concubine chooses to protect herself, because the king of Ruyang is ambitious, the queen mother will not harm the king in a short period of time, but after the concubine's self-immolation incident, it is obvious that the king's peace time will be prolonged, and if the response is appropriate, it can even temporarily win the trust of the queen mother, so that she can be more relieved, so that it will be more beneficial to the king in the future." Lu Li knew that he didn't have much time to comfort He Ye not to be too guilty, in fact, he didn't plan to waste his lips and tongue on comfort, the situation was already like this, if He Ye still chose that desperate path because of his guilt and anxiety, it would definitely not be Jiang Gongbu's Emperor Star, and it was impossible to hope that he would be able to set aside the chaos in the future and resist the danger of destroying the country.

He Ye really smiled lightly this time, and his eyes finally ducked: "If I preach the true testament of my brother in front of the clan, the queen mother will have no way out, and she will be killed, otherwise there will only be a defeat, and people will only consider the pros and cons when there is still room for them, and they will have scruples, so this is not my life and death, this is related to the survival of the clan, the Great Zhou Dynasty, if I act impulsively and cause both sides to lose, I will be a sinner of the Great Zhou, and I will have no face to face the undead of my brother and sister after death?" ”

Lu Li saw that he was finally quite sober, and for some reason his heart was slightly relieved: "Even if the king declares to the clans that the saint has ordered the throne to pass on the throne, forcing the queen mother to make a desperate bet and accuse the king and the concubine of colluding and rebelling, the king of Ruyang will also be happy to see the king and the queen mother fighting each other, trying to make a profit, but as long as the queen mother is forced into a desperate situation, how can she be willing to let the king of Ruyang succeed?" Even if you know that the bloodbath of the clan will lead to turmoil in the future, you must kill them all, it is good to say that as long as the king acts impulsively, it will inevitably lead to both defeats, and the one who reaps the benefits is not even the queen mother, for the new Turks, for the Northern Liao! ”

"Xue Shilang, why are you helping me?"

After another moment of silence, He Ye asked.

I'm not trying to help you, so where can I say why? It's just that she wants to help you, and no matter what choice she makes, I will go to the soup and fight the fire, regardless of the reason, He Ye, I only hope that you will not fail her in the future, and don't be like He Yan, foolish and cowardly.

But of course, Lu Li couldn't confess these words to King Jin at this time, and bowed respectfully: "The Jingzhao Xue clan will never help to abuse. ”

Sleeping with the enemy? He Ye's eyes were gloomy, wasn't he, the living king of Hades, more like Shang than the Queen Mother? Yes, the girl's gift to Jiang Gong Shi seems to advocate that Shang and Qin are not as cruel and unreasonable as those contained in the history books? Jing Zhao Xue and Jing Zhao Liu were originally in-laws, so maybe they also had an unworldly view......

Now, I really feel the weight of responsibility on my shoulders, and I can no longer be willful or rebellious!

He Ye got up, raised his hand and patted Lu Li's shoulder: "Xue Xuanzhi, I, He Ye, promise you......"
