The admiration in these words is more than a hint.Liu Zao smiled, with a bit of disapproval on his face, "How can we understand when we meet suddenly? The so-called admiration is mostly because I have completed this person in my mind."

Li Lin was angry and full of grievances. She looked at Liu Zao and said, "I have served Your Majesty for several years, and the understanding I have gained over the years is not completed in my mind?" She knelt down, bowed her head and said, "I admire Your Majesty."

Xie Yi was not very surprised when she heard this, but her heart was still tight, and she immediately looked at Liu Zao.Liu Zao showed no sign of anger, nor was she moved. She just looked down at Li Lin indifferently. She didn't know what she was thinking, her face was almost expressionless, and her eyes were also very indifferent.

After a long time, Li Lin knelt until her knees hurt. Liu Zaofang seemed to wake up suddenly, smiled at herself, and bent over to help her up.

She helped her personally, Li Lin was overjoyed, her eyes sparkled, and she called slowly, "Your Majesty."

Liu Zao smiled at her and said, "Go back."

Li Lin was naturally reluctant to hear her chasing her away, but the emperor said again, "Go back." Li Lin had no choice but to leave.

After she left, Liu Zao didn't move for a long time, she raised her head slightly and looked at the sky, the sky was blue, dotted with a few rays of rosy clouds just before dusk.Liu Zao looked a little fascinated, she was surrounded by the loneliness that she had nowhere to talk about and the indifference that she didn't want anyone to approach.

Xie Yi had the heart to retreat, and wanted to leave this place and come to see the emperor again tomorrow.She took a step back, but unexpectedly stepped on a dead branch, which made a snapping sound.

Liu Zao noticed it, and immediately looked to this side, and asked, "Who is it!"

Xie Yi was suddenly in a dilemma.

Chapter 101

In the corner of the garden, apart from Liu Zao, several attendants are nearby.It's too late to go.It is even more inappropriate to go out. As a subject, it is not appropriate to hide in the dark and peep at the lord, not to mention it is the emperor's secret affair.Needless to say, Xie Yi also didn't want Liu Zao to know that she saw the scene where others poured out their love for her.

Hu Ao glanced at the emperor, took a step towards the bushes, and said loudly, "Who is disturbing Shengjia, come out soon!"

Xie Yi couldn't help but sighed softly, and was about to go out when Liu Zao said, "You all go down."

All the attendants promised in unison, and then there was the sound of several people leaving together.

When Liu Zao walked over, she stretched out her hand and parted the covered branches and leaves. Xie Yi stabilized her mind and gave a salute, "I've seen Your Majesty."

Liu Zao looked at her, smiled, and said, "I knew it was you."

Xie Yi straightened up and said, "I'll come and see Your Majesty."

Liu Zao nodded, "Alright, you can walk around with me."

Once the attendants left, they never recalled them.On both sides of the path, the path is lined with vegetation, deep and quiet.Liu Zao walked in front, Xie Yi followed beside her.The two were silent all the way.

After walking all the way to a pavilion, and then walking down, it was getting dark, Liu Zao stopped, and was about to say that she had gone back, when Xie Yi asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Liu Zao was not surprised by Xie Yi's question, and said, "I can't tell." Thinking that San Yue hadn't summoned Mr. Xie, his face showed shame, and said, "I have some things that I can't figure out. I summoned Mr. Xie, probably because Depressed with me, I never bothered to thank you."

She spoke very politely, but also extremely alienated, Xie Yi was worried when she heard it, and said, "Your Majesty and I, do you want to share the trouble or not?"

"That's not what I meant." Liu Zao said, she turned sideways, her back was facing the sunset, her face was hidden in the darkness, and she looked even more alienated and strange, "Just spend some more time with me, when I understand it, it will be fine."

Xie Yi wanted to ask the emperor what was the problem, but knew that even if she asked, she would not answer.Liu Zao looked at Xie Yi, smiled, and said, "Go back."

These words are exactly the same as what Li Lin said just now.Xie Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable, and said, "Li Lin poured out her love to His Majesty, and I heard it."

Liu Zao's expression faded, "Oh. Whether it's the forehead band she mentioned, or the occasional encounter outside the palace, I can't remember."

Xie Yi asked again, "Why didn't Your Majesty refuse directly?" Just now His Majesty personally helped Li Lin up, and let her leave first, without agreeing or refusing.

Liu Zao looked at Xie Yi, Xie Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but still looked at her.Liu Zao was silent for a moment, his eyes were full of thoughts, Xie Yi didn't know what she was thinking, but he never urged her, and waited patiently.

Liu Zao observed her expression carefully, as if she was confirming something. After a while, she shook her head with a smile, and asked directly, "Thank you for caring about this matter. Is it because I am jealous, I don't want others to covet me, or I am worried about Li Lin?" Leading me down, worrying that I will be distracted from other affairs and slack off the government?"

She actually asked such a question, Xie Yi was startled, and looked at Liu Zao in disbelief.Liu Zao also turned his face sideways, not daring to look into her eyes.

Xie Yi bit her lower lip, and asked softly, "Are you complaining that what I said would leave you?"

Even if it wasn't true, Liu Zao's heart still ached when she heard the word "Leave", as if being stabbed suddenly by a sharp needle, the pain made her chest shiver.However, after the severe pain, there was an endless emptiness.Liu Zao shook his head, "I don't blame you, it's not the first time you want to leave me behind."

Last time, if it wasn't for the sudden death of her grandmother, she and Xiang Xie would probably have separated from each other long ago and would never see each other again.

"What's more, I know that what you said to leave is mostly a warning to me, so that I will rein in the precipice and stop messing around." Liu Zao said softly, there was really no resentment in her tone, she just said quietly, "I also know , You value government affairs, fear that I will go astray, it is also for my own good, you don’t want to see me incompetent and reviled by all people, in the end, it is all for me.”

She said it all, Xie Yi couldn't even explain.

Liu Zao glanced at her, her eyes were gentle and quiet, with an indelible depression, she walked slowly to the side, stopped in front of the apricot tree by the pavilion, and said, "I just think, It's not very interesting. You and I guard each other secretly. What's the difference between us and aunts and nephews, and monarchs and ministers? If we never had love, we would still be separated by some distance, in the same dynasty, in the same country, caring for each other, and Respect, and we can get along to grow old."

She hesitated.Xie Yi suddenly felt dizzy, she clenched her fists tightly, inserted her nails deeply into the palm of her hand, and used the pain to force herself to stabilize her mind.

Liu Zao said again, "I quietly held a wedding for us in Jiaofang Palace, but what does it mean? You and I are still far away from others, and the middle palace of the big man is still hanging in vain. Is it just a moment of joy? , when the joy is over, are they still occupying empty couches?" After she finished speaking, apology appeared in her eyes, and she said to Xie Yi, "It must have been very helpless to thank you at that time? It was just for my happiness, to accompany me to perform Going on, maybe that wedding, in the eyes of Prime Minister Xie, is no different from children's house wine, and it may be a little ridiculous."

"No..." Xie Yi hurriedly said.

Liu Zao shook her head and interrupted her, "There's no need to talk about it." She sighed, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "After all, Mr. Xie will trouble you with me. But you don't have to worry about Mr. Xie. After a while, I will I figured it out naturally."

Confiding all the thoughts in his heart is like stripping himself clean for others to comment on.Liu Zao felt even more embarrassed, and she didn't want to stay in front of Xie Yi any longer, so she said, "I'll go back to the announcement room first," and walked away.

After walking more than ten steps, Liu Zao still couldn't calm down her mind. She was very confused, only thinking about how Xie Xianghui would look at her, and whether she had ever taken her affection seriously.

After she said these words, Prime Minister Xie might take the opportunity to separate from her.

She cares so much about her reputation, her world, and the common people.Naturally, the advantages of their separation outweigh the disadvantages, and they will no longer have to worry about her reputation being tarnished by becoming a queen.

Liu Zao still couldn't help turning her head back, Xie Yi was still standing there, her eyes were actually red.Liu Zao was ecstatic for a moment.Xie Xiang has her in his heart.As soon as this idea came out, she seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water.

Xie Xiang naturally has her in his heart, and she has always cared about her.But she doesn't necessarily care about the affection between them.

Liu Zao looked indifferent, turned around and walked away, walking faster.

Xie Yi watched her walk away until there was no one left, then Fang slowly moved towards the outside of the palace.

Along the way, I can't stop meeting palace people.The prime minister is the head of a country and often enters the palace. The palace people naturally know her. When they see her, they retreat to the side of the road and bow to salute.Xie Yi knew that if she made a disrespectful act, it would not take three days for everyone to know about it, and the ministers would all wonder if she had a rift with the emperor in the palace, and guess what major event happened to make the prime minister connect with her demeanor I can't care less.

She had no choice but to maintain her appearance and behave as usual, even her walking speed should not be abnormal.She carried it all the way out of the palace gate, and the driver was already waiting.The attendant stepped forward, the driver opened the door, Xie Yi walked into the car and sat upright.

The car door was closed from the outside, most of the light was blocked, and the car was dimmed.Xie Yi's straight back finally bent down, she closed her eyes, endured for a moment, tears still rolled down the corners of her eyes.
