Inside the Zichen Hall, the emperor was reviewing the memorial, and it was raining heavily outside the hall, and the sound of the rain made the emperor's mood even more irritable.

He couldn't help putting down the memorial and rubbing his temples. Of course, the sound of rain was not the main reason for the emperor's irritability. What he was thinking about was Yu's proposal to the third prince. The emperor was unwilling to agree, but Cun Fang promised many benefits.

But Li Yingying's broken and disappointed eyes always flashed in the emperor's mind, which disturbed him, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to sacrifice this daughter.

With the sound of footsteps approaching, the emperor knew that it was the queen who was coming.

He raised his eyes and looked outside the door, and it was indeed the queen. It was a bit cold today because of the heavy rain, so the queen approved the cloak.

The emperor watched her gradually approaching, with a smile on his face: "Why is Wan'er here?"

The queen looked at his smiling face, but couldn't respond to him happily as usual, she felt uncomfortable.

The queen has no children, and although the prince is fostered under her knees, she is not close to her, and Li Yingying was raised by her. It is better not to be born than to be born, but now this only daughter is about to become a bargaining chip.

The queen stood by the emperor's side, and after a few times of thinking, she still said: "The emperor wants Yingying to make a marriage? Then Yuchao is not a good man in the eyes of the third prince. Can you think about it?"

Unexpectedly, the queen came here to say this, the emperor was a little unhappy: "I have made up my mind, and besides, Yingying has already agreed."

But Li Yingying had locked herself in the room for several days, and she didn't eat much of the food brought in. When the queen went to see her, she heard faint crying.

From this point of view, it was not voluntary. My daughter knew that Yingying would never agree to it under normal circumstances. Maybe she would run away from marriage or run away.

The queen stared at the emperor, "Did the emperor say something to her? That child is not so obedient. Besides, you and I both know that she has something in her heart."

The emperor looked at her, felt that this matter could not be hidden anyway, so he said: "It is because she has something in her heart that I can let her agree to this marriage."

As soon as the words fell, the queen understood the meaning in an instant, and her voice couldn't help trembling: "Is the emperor threatening her with Zhang Boyu?"

The emperor saw that she did not speak, but kept silent, perhaps because he felt that this method was too cheap.

The queen felt a little dizzy, couldn't help but leaned to the side, and finally supported the table to stabilize her body. She seemed to not know the emperor anymore, with grief in her eyes: "Don't you hate the first emperor the most? Why do you have sex with him?" Same thing!"

I don't know where the emperor's pain was hit by this sentence, he suddenly became angry: "Don't compare me with him, he is not worthy! I am doing it for the country, and he is doing it for his own selfishness!"

Seeing his furious appearance, the queen suddenly felt a little ridiculous, but in the end she still didn't laugh, she just said lightly: "My concubine is stupid, please punish me by the emperor."

This cold tone and attitude poured cold water on the emperor, he stretched out his hand to help the queen but withdrew his hand, then he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, his voice was exhausted: "That's all, Zhen You've made up your mind, go back."

The queen looked up at him, said something about the concubine's resignation, and left the Zichen Palace. She didn't look back, but lamented the changes of the years, and people are no longer what they used to be.

The rain was so heavy that the bean-sized raindrops hit the umbrella surface and shattered into countless pieces, some of which were stained on the queen's cloak. They walked all the way to the palace where Li Yingying lived.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, the door of the hall was closed tightly, and there was no light or sound in the hall.

The queen knocked on the door and said softly, "Yingying opened the door, it's me."

Suddenly there was a sound in the hall, followed by the sound of feet stepping on the floor, the queen frowned, it seemed that she was not wearing shoes.

The door of the palace was opened, and what came into view was a slovenly princess with disheveled hair, red and swollen eyes, wearing only obscene clothes.

The queen looked down again, the child was indeed not wearing shoes, it was so cold today, the floor was icy cold, the queen couldn't help but feel her heart twitch.

Li Yingying looked at the person standing at the door and squeezed out a smile: "Mother's queen."

The queen was anxious and angry at the same time. She pushed Li Yingying to sit on the bed, then knelt down to help her put on her shoes, and blamed her while putting them on: "You child, why don't you take care of yourself like this."

Looking at the only person in the palace who cared about herself, Li Yingying's nose turned sour, and she felt the pain in her heart: "Am I still my own?"

The movement of the queen's hands stopped, she stood up and sat next to Li Yingying and embraced her in her arms: "Silly boy, why don't you belong to me?"

In fact, Li Yingying had cried enough after being decadent for a few days, but now she was leaning on her mother's arms, surrounded by her body temperature, and could clearly hear her heartbeat.

"Father said that I am a princess, and my identity is different from other people. I enjoy the glory brought by this identity, and I also have to bear the responsibility of this identity."

"But I'm not reconciled. There are so many princesses, why is it me...but I think it should be me."

"I still don't agree, so he..."

The queen listened to her quietly all the time, seeing that she didn't continue, she added what was on her mind: "He threatened you with Zhang Boyu, didn't he?"

Li Yingying looked up at her without saying a word, which was equivalent to acquiescing.

The queen didn't speak either, but pulled her to the dressing table again, and combed her hair with her hands.

Li Yingying looked at herself in a mess in the bronze mirror, she just thought it was very ridiculous, she laughed after thinking about it.

"Yingying, tell the queen mother, do you want to get married?"

Li Yingying didn't speak. After a long time, she said softly, "I don't want to."

At this moment, the empress had already combed her hair, and finally chose a hairpin to insert in it. Hearing the expected answer, the empress smiled: "The empress will help you."

These words made Li Yingying's eyes widen. She turned to look at her mother and smiled wryly: "Mother, this is a matter decided by the father. I don't want to cause you trouble."

Li Yingying knew that the two of them were loving and harmonious, but her father would not let go of this kind of matter. If she brought danger to her mother because of her own reasons, even if she escaped this catastrophe, there would be no peace for the rest of her life.

This answer made the queen laugh, and she gave Li Yingying a shudder with her fingers: "Silly girl, you are my daughter, why are you in trouble? Just tell me what you really think in your heart."

Seeing whether Li Yingying was about to cry or not, the queen couldn't help but put her in her arms again: "If Yu Chao really has the sincerity to make friends, he won't care about you and whether you are not close. The major events of the two countries will not be due to some Personally."

He touched the top of Li Yingying's head, "I will arrange it, let's have a good meal now."

At this time, Wu You and Zhao Qingzi were also discussing Li Yingying's matter in Yongdinghou's mansion.

Wu You was familiar with the original work, and knew that the queen regarded Li Yingying as her own daughter. In the original work, the queen wanted to help Li Yingying escape but was found out, and the emperor put Li Yingying under house arrest.

Knowing this plot, Wu You proposed to join forces with the queen, but the second prince Yuchao is a shameless guy, so the best way is to let Li Yingying escape.

Zhao Qingzi thought the same way, but she just thought that it would not be safe to stay in the capital, so she should be sent to another place, but that girl obviously couldn't take care of herself.

Wu You watched Zhao Qingzi's face and knew that she was worried. Wu You had an idea in her heart, that is to let Zhang Boyu take her away, but the matter of A Zi's brother has not been resolved, and Wu You was afraid that she would not agree.

Wu You's hesitant expression was too obvious, Zhao Qingzi asked her: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Looking at Zhao Qingzi's face, Wu You still told Zhao Qingzi this idea.

After finishing speaking, Wu You carefully observed Zhao Qingzi's face, and found that she was not angry, but just in deep thought. Wu You was worried, and just about to say to give up this idea, Zhao Qingzi's voice came over.

"Ayou, do you think there will be a result between my brother and that silly girl?"

No need to think about it, there must be no, Wu You shook his head honestly: "No."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingzi seemed to have made up his mind: "Then do as you say."

Now Wu You was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhao Qingzi to agree so simply, the reason for all her actions in the original book was her brother.

Feeling Wu You's shock, Zhao Qingzi smiled: "Don't be surprised, I just figured it out, and more importantly... I believe in you."

Zhao Qingzi understands that Wu You knows the direction of the future, since she must not succeed, then there is no need to do useless work, but she is still a little confused.

The silly girl and Zhang Boyu left, what will happen to my brother after that?

"Azi is worried about my brother?"

Zhao Qingzi nodded, as an admission of this matter.

Seeing her looking down and thinking, Wu You said with relief: "A Zi, although I haven't known my brother for a long time, but he is not a fragile person, you are too concerned, try to relax and look again. "

Zhao Qingzi looked up at her serious look, and suddenly felt confident in his heart. Maybe it was because he cared too much, but this guy called him brother.

After Zhao Qingzi figured it out, he lay back and leaned on the back of the chair: "Who is your brother, he is my brother."

Wu You also followed Zhao Qingzi's example and lay down on the back, "Soon he will be my brother too."

You won't win by talking to thick-skinned people, Zhao Qingzi gave her a blank look, and began to make plans for the future.

At the gate of the capital, there was a carriage leaving the city in the heavy rain, and the carriage was carrying none other than Zhang Wenli and Liniang.

Liniang was wearing a black attire with her face covered. Zhang Wenli's gatekeeper lied that she was his maid, and after giving them many benefits, the two left the city smoothly.

The carriage was swaying, and Liniang sat in the corner with her eyes closed and didn't make any sound, but Zhang Wenli was restless, he chattered endlessly beside her.

Suddenly the carriage stopped with a jolt, and Zhang Wenli almost fell down. He became angry, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said loudly, "What's wrong! I almost fell to my death!"

The coachman replied: "There is someone blocking the way ahead with a knife in his hand."

Could it be that he ran into a robber, Zhang Wenli looked forward, but unfortunately it was raining too much, the man held an umbrella to hide his face.

She looks like a woman in stature, relatively short.

This stalemate is not a solution, Zhang Wenli took the lead in saying: "Dare to ask why the girl is blocking my way?"

The woman slowly raised her head, with hatred in her tone: "You are on the wrong path, I am here to correct you."

This road is indeed leading to Jinzhou, Zhang Wenli is very sure, and wants to discuss with her again, the woman continued to speak.

"Yellow Spring Road is the road you should go!"
