"What did Yunmo tell you?" Pulling Zhao Shu all the way back to the dormitory, Zhao Shu let go of his hand and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Ji said lightly: "I didn't say anything." ”

Zhao Shu said: "Tell me, I won't harm you." ”

Zhao Ji sneered: "You won't harm me, you will harm Uncle Seven." ”

Zhao Shu said: "I won't hurt him either!" As soon as the words came out, he saw Zhao Xu's strange eyes looking at him, and his heart was suddenly cold. Zhao Shu took a deep breath and softened his tone: "I heard it from the time he said, 'The husband is not guilty and guilty', what else did he say?"

Zhao Ji obviously didn't want to say more, and said simply: "Say let me apologize to you on his behalf, and persuade me not to be estranged from my father because of his affairs, that's all." After a pause, he said, "I want to go back and rest, and my son will retire." "Turn around and leave.

"Do you think what he said is telling the truth?" Zhao Shu suddenly asked.

Zhao Ji stopped and said, "Even if it's not all right, at least I believe he has no malicious intent." Maybe my father thinks what I think is wrong, but what I see is that Uncle Seven has never harmed his father, nor has he ever enlisted powerful people to threaten his father. He's going to be bad for his father? ”

Zhao Shu sighed and said, "Close the door, I have something to say to you." "Sit down in a chair.

Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment, but still did so, and then stood still in front of Zhao Shu and said, "Father, please speak." ”

Zhao Shu organized his words and said, "It's not that I don't trust Yunmo, on the contrary, I have always been extremely relieved of him. He's eleven years younger than me, and I've watched him grow up. I don't know his temperament much better, and I don't have any reason to be wary of him. However, the mother guards him. You know what I'm going to do in this situation, right?"

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "I don't really understand." ”

Zhao Shu said: "I want to see if Yunmo has the value of letting me disobey my mother for him." She is the only person in the palace who will be on my side. If, I mean, if Yunmo and I have a conflict, then the only one who will help me fight against Yunmo is the queen mother. If I want to maintain Yunmo, I must be prepared to be abandoned by my mother, which is equivalent to cutting myself off. I confess that I was calculating him this time, but I was also tempting. If he collapses because of this, or becomes my enemy because of this, I will decisively abandon him and abolish him. But now it's different, and he's showing results that I'm happy with. ”

Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "Isn't he already out of control because of this?"

Zhao Shu sighed secretly and said, "He pretended to be at the banquet, and he probably vomited blood on purpose." He did this as a warning to me, but also a sign of weakness, to give me a step down. You don't understand now. Yunmo is too smart, smart to the point of being a little frightening. Further for the king, take a step back for the minister. At least now that he has clearly shown his willingness to be a vassal, then I don't have to risk provoking him any longer. Seeing that his son didn't seem to understand, he didn't explain too much, but said: "Do you understand? He doesn't have the intention of competing for the position, which doesn't mean that it is impossible." It is better to kill than to worry about it for a long time. ”

Zhao Ji still didn't particularly understand, and asked: "That is to say, my father didn't plan to kill the seventh uncle in the first place, and he won't hurt the seventh uncle now, right?"

Zhao Shu didn't explain too much, nodded, and said, "Yes, you just understand it like that." Also, I assure you, there is absolutely no way I will kill him. ”

Although Zhao Ji still didn't believe it, at least he didn't have Fang Cai's hostility, nodded and said, "I believe in my father." ”

Zhao Shu didn't intend to force him to fully believe in himself, seeing that he was already satisfied with his current attitude, he waved his hand and said, "You go back and rest, don't tell others what you and Brother Mo said today, and don't tell anyone what I told you." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Please rest assured that my son understands the severity." ”

Zhao Shu smiled gently and said, "Well, that's fine." Don't go to your seventh uncle again these days, and if you go to him again after a while, I won't stop you. ”

Zhao Ji hesitated, nodded in response, and bowed and retired.

————————————————————————

"Brother Huang, what choice will you make?" Zhao Qingyan flipped the pages of the book in his hand and thought secretly. As long as Zhao Shu no longer acts, a queen alone is not a cause for concern. If Zhao Shu insisted on killing himself...... That's a problem.

Lu Wei handed him the peeled oranges: "What do you want?"

Zhao Qingyan stretched out his hand to take it, put a petal in his mouth, was slightly stunned, glanced at the orange in his hand, and then asked, "How do you know that I'm thinking?"

Lu Wei took a petal of orange from his hand and put it in his mouth: "When you squint your eyes when you read the book, you are thinking about things - although your level of dual-purpose is very high, and you can also read the content of the book, but you can still see the difference if you look closely." When he threw it in his mouth, he immediately wrinkled his nose: "It's so sour!"

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "I just wanted to ask you, you won't pick this orange from my yard, right?"

Lu wept and said, "Yes, I remember that you can eat everything that grows from the fruit trees you planted. ”

Zhao Qingyan looked out the window: "There are fewer people in the palace now, and the trees are not taken care of, and all the things that bear a tree can't be eaten." "Give him back the oranges.

Lu Wei looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "You shouldn't be the time to get sick, right? Did you pretend to be yesterday or was it real?"

"Yesterday?" Zhao Qingyan thought about it for a moment and looked at him with slanted eyes, "What do you think?"

Lu Wei shook his head, stood up and put the orange on the table, and stood there with his back to Zhao Qingyan, pressing the table with one hand, and didn't turn back for a long time.

Zhao Qingyan frowned, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "Lu Xi, I have no other way to choose." ”

"Yes, you have no other way to go, so you just practice yourself like this?" Lu Wei looked down at the table, with a hint of mockery in his voice.

Zhao Qingyan defended in a low voice: "I don't have a ......"

"No?" Lu Wei turned around, leaned on the table, and looked at him lightly, "Then why are you lying outside the house?"

Zhao Qing was speechless.

Lu Wei raised his hand and grabbed his hair and tugged it, his eyes softened: "That's it, I don't have any qualifications to say you." ”

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes and sat there quietly, not making an excuse. Or rather, he really doesn't have anything to defend himself.

Lu Wei looked at him for a while, smiled bitterly and walked back to sit down: "Originally, you came to chat with you and wanted to make you feel better, but then you said so many things that shouldn't be said." ”

"Actually, I started to have nightmares a few days ago, dreaming of West Lake, dreaming of Tang Xiaoyu and Qingfeng. At most, it's not as serious as yesterday. After a while, Zhao Qingyan said in a low voice, "I know that I am about to be attacked by Zhu Yangai again, but I don't dare to say it." In any case, I will survive this banquet, and I cannot miss this long-prepared arrangement. ”

"And I didn't dare to sleep, I didn't want to face the dream that lasted so many days. I know that as long as I fall asleep, with my physical condition, I will definitely be eaten by Zhu Yanchang...... I'm afraid I won't wake up. I even wish I really hadn't woken up. Zhao Qingyan shook his head slightly, the expression in his eyes was completely covered, "I'm glad I survived it again." ”

Lu Wei raised his hand and pressed his eyes, and smiled bitterly: "Should I say congratulations?"

Zhao Qingyan's eyes were full of helplessness: "No, I don't want to hear it." After a pause, he added: "It just so happens that you don't want to say it." ”

Lu Wei showed one eye, looked at his smile, and hooked his lips slightly: "After all, there are more times when you are awake than when you are asleep, so why bother with those? As long as you can wake up every time." ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded and was silent. Although the expression is calm, the perfunctory attitude is still extremely obvious.

Lu Wei asked, "Didn't you keep saying that you could find a way to dispel the Gu poison?

Zhao Qingyan didn't answer, his pale cheeks were faintly tinged with abnormal whiteness, not only weakness, but also death. He raised his head and looked at the white window paper on the window, and the clouds were light and breezy: "Do you know what will happen if I don't have internal strength?"

Lu Xi did not answer.

Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly: "The teacher said that Biluo Mountain's internal power has accumulated toxins, and his 'dead wood rejuvenation' internal power has assimilated toxins. If the time comes, the three internal forces can be abolished at one time, and the poison of Zhu Yangai can be removed. ”

The smile was not bitter, there was no bitterness, and it was abnormally calm: "But, the internal strength is gone, what about my legs? Ten years, even if the poison in my legs is removed, how can I stand up? Without internal strength, with my crippled body and unconscious legs, I will be a waste person for a lifetime in exchange for those few years of living?"

Lu Wei comforted: "Yunmo, there will always be another way." ”

Zhao Qingyan tilted his head to look at him, and a trace of disdain flashed almost invisibly in his eyes: "Joke." ”

Lu cried: "It's not a joke, there will be a way." ”

Zhao Qingyan asked rhetorically: "Even Tang Xiaoyu hasn't found a way to detoxify, will you have it?"

"The people he cares about are all dead, are you too? He already had a certain death intention twelve years ago, what about you? are you going to give up?" Lu Wei gritted his teeth, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and his fists clenched.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and said apologetically: "I brought up the past again that shouldn't be mentioned." ”

Lu Wei rubbed his already messy hair even more: "I also said it myself, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Qingyan raised his head, and even his breathing became silent. Lu Wei lowered his head and grabbed his hair irritably, desperately expelling those bad memories, and no one spoke for a while.

"I'm not going to give up. ”

Lu Wei probably didn't hear clearly, and only after a while did he raise his head to look at him: "What did you say?"

Zhao Qingyan repeated lightly: "I said I won't give up, I won't give up until I get the answer I need." ”

Lu Wei looked at him blankly, and smiled: "That's right, this is the little prince of Qi I know." ”

Zhao Qingyan pouted: "Actually, I've always been like this." ”

Lu Wei shrugged his shoulders and coped perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, that's true." ”

looked at each other and smiled, and no one mentioned Fang Cai's unhappiness again.
