Negative

Li Zhiyuan pushed open the palace door, and there was a muffled sound from the heavy door, and the sunlight outside the door shone into the house, illuminating the slightly dark room brightly.

He didn't let the light stay in the room for too long, the palace man behind him had already closed the palace door for him, blocking the sunlight and the outside world.

The black gold boot walked in silently until it stopped in front of the man whose right foot was tied by an iron chain.

I haven't seen him in January, Li Zhiying is no longer high-spirited, his clothes are still neat, but his black hair is messy, and some stubble has appeared on his chin. He thinks he is neglecting to tidy himself up in this palace.

Li Zhiyuan saw Li Zhiying's face clearly, even if he was defeated, even if he was imprisoned in this invisible palace, the ambition in his red and phoenix eyes could not completely fade away, when the brothers met, Li Zhiyuan shouted as usual, " Third brother."

Li Zhiying raised his head from the shadows, showing that sinister and romantic face, without smiling, "It's not easy to hear the words of the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty, third brother."

After the words fell, he smiled lightly, not knowing whether he was laughing at Li Zhiyuan or himself.

Li Zhiyuan came alone, no longer a majestic emperor sitting on the throne, as if he was just a younger brother chatting with his elder brother, his tone was suspicious and unwilling, "I asked myself that I have never made a relationship with the third brother, why the third brother Are you determined to put me to death?"

Li Zhiying heard this, as if he had heard a joke, he couldn't help laughing until his chest heaved, he looked at Li Zhiyuan like a fool, and after laughing enough, he sarcastically said, "Why are you still so naive when you are an emperor, Zhiyuan, you have been so naive since you were a child Being nurtured and raised, the emperor said that you are kind and affectionate, of course you will not understand the suffering of people like us."

Li Zhiyuan didn't speak, and quietly listened to Li Zhiying's narration.

"If you don't seize the throne, someone will help you fight for the throne. If you respect my brothers and sisters, someone will kill the contender for you." Li Zhiying stared coldly at the emperor's face, "Even the chess pieces I cultivated by myself , and turned against you for your own use.”

Hearing him talk about Chen Jingyu, Li Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.

"What about him, you still keep him alive?" Li Zhiying asked.

Li Zhiyuan asked back for a while, "Why is it him, why can't it be someone else?"

Li Zhiying clearly knew how much he valued Chen Jingyu, but he still disregarded his brotherhood and told the person he loved the most to hurt him the most.

"Because you trust him the most," Li Zhiying's eyes glowed with a fiery light, and the corners of his lips smiled, "It's also because he obeys my orders the most."

Li Zhiyuan gradually clenched his hands hidden in his robe.

Li Zhiying stood up slowly, the iron chain on his feet made a heavy sound, he looked straight at Li Zhiyuan, and his words were clear, "He has been with me since he was 14 years old, I rescued him from the sea of ​​suffering, I let him I learned how to hide myself, it was I who gave him a taste of being a human being, these eight years, he has obeyed me, even if he likes me, as long as I say a word, he can marry someone he doesn't like..."

Li Zhiyuan was stepped on the sore spot and grabbed Li Zhiying's collar regardless of his identity.

But Li Zhiying spoke faster and faster, "Without me, you wouldn't even get a look from him, let alone dream of marrying him, so what if you get the whole world, in my eyes, you are just a beggar Poor man hated by the one he loves."

Li Zhiyuan's eyes widened with anger, and he couldn't help the qi and blood surging in his chest, he struck Li Zhiying's left cheek with his palm, he used all his strength, Li Zhiying was beaten to the side, but he still couldn't relieve his hatred.

Li Zhiying's every word is his taboo, as if making public the fact that he took his heart out and was trampled on by others, so what about the emperor, everyone can come and laugh at him for being betrayed by the person next to him and almost dying.

If Cai Zhuo hadn't sworn to death, he would never have suspected Chen Jingyu, let alone saw Chen Jingyu stealing the Tiger Seal with his own eyes, wouldn't have believed that his respected elder brother wanted his life, and wouldn't have been pushed Take this throne.

And all of this, ridiculous to say, is all because of the word love.

Blame him for seeing the wrong person, believing in the wrong person, and loving the wrong person.

"Li Zhiying," Li Zhiyuan said angrily, "You'd better not say another word, otherwise don't blame me for cutting you into pieces."

There was blood on the corner of Li Zhiying's lips, and he looked at him provocatively, "Once I die, Chen Jingyu will always remember me in his heart. Once he sees you, he will remember that you are the murderer who killed me. He will hate you for the rest of his life. You killed the person he loved the most." He grabbed the fabric of Li Zhiyuan's chest with his backhand, already in a state of madness, "Kill me, Your Majesty."

Li Zhiyuan was furious, he pushed Li Zhiying out, looked at the crazy man with his eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't tell whether he was provoking himself on purpose.

"Third Brother, as long as you keep yourself safe, I won't kill you," Li Zhiyuan didn't want to stay any longer, he was afraid that he would stay a little longer, Li Zhiying said something that would hurt him even more, "Here, please make amends for your sins."

He turned around and walked away, and heard the people behind him laughing, they couldn't stop laughing, the laughter echoed in the palace until the palace door was tightly closed again.

-

Mingxuan Hall is located in a remote place in the palace, and few palace people usually set foot here, which is why Li Zhiyuan settled Chen Jingyu here.

Cai Zhuo was ordered by him to execute Chen Jingyu that day, but fortunately he arrived in time to stop him, and he symbolically punished Cai Zhuo with ten boards and no further investigation.

If it wasn't for Cai Zhuo, Li Zhiyuan might be the one being imprisoned today. Cai Zhuo is a great hero, and Li Zhiyuan wouldn't blame him.

In fact, Li Zhiyuan knew better than anyone else that Chen Jingyu deserved to be punished, but he also hated himself for not being able to kill Chen Jingyu.

He once gave Chen Jingyu his fiery sincerity, but now his heart is full of desolation and dripping with blood, Chen Jingyu really knows how to hurt people most thoroughly.

After dealing with the affairs of the day, what Li Zhiying said to him in the hall echoed like a revolving lantern, which made him have a splitting headache and couldn't think about it.

A hill was piled up in the middle court about Li Guomu. Sooner or later, he would marry a newcomer to consolidate his position, whether it was Prime Minister Wang's daughter or Cai Zhuo's younger sister, he felt that it made no difference.

The only person he really wanted to marry in this life was Chen Jingyu.

When he was in a trance, the palace man who followed him reminded, "Your Majesty, the Mingxuan Palace is ahead, and you have to hold the lamp to go there."

The glazed palace lanterns reflect the bright light.

He hadn't seen Chen Jingyu for a month, since he ordered the killing of the child in their womb.

Thinking of the unborn child, Li Zhiyuan closed his eyes to hide the pain, and when he opened his eyes again, it was clear.

He took the palace lantern and ordered, "You guys wait here."

The palace people didn't dare to have any objections, they looked down at the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty drifting away, for some reason, the old eunuch who had served the emperor for many years in the palace now looked at the seventh prince who had grown up from a young age, and always felt that he hadn't ascended the throne for the first time The spirit, that back is full of desolation.

The old eunuch didn't know about the entanglement between Li Zhiyuan and Chen Jingyu, so he just sighed.

-

Chen Jingyu's body has been recuperated by the imperial doctor, and he has recovered a lot, but the slippery tire is not a common ailment, and Chen Jingyu is a man, his face these days is snow-white, as if A person who is terminally ill and cannot be saved.

For this reason, the imperial doctor found a lot of prescriptions for nourishing qi and blood, and watered them every day, and finally let Chen Jingyu regain some energy.

After drinking the medicine, Chen Jingyu began to be in a trance for a long time again.

Perhaps it was Li Zhiyuan and the palace servants who ordered that the palace servants seldom talk to Chen Jingyu, and the number of times he spoke in a day could be counted on his fingers, and in the end, he simply became a mute.

At first, he would ask Li Zhiyuan when he would come. He wanted to risk his life to ask Li Zhiying's whereabouts, but after asking several times, he couldn't get a result, so he stopped asking.

The wind blew up at night, and Chen Jingyu stood by the window in only a thin shirt, looking at the waning moon in the sky with eyes like water, the ink-like night only had a faint yellow halo, it looked so desolate.

People look at the moon, but they use the moon to think about people.

Is Li Zhiyuan looking at the same crescent moon with him, what is he thinking at this moment?

Sparse conversations came to my ears again, it was the palace people who were bored and talked about the new emperor, Chen Jingyu listened quietly.

"Your Majesty is really a king. As soon as Fang ascends the throne, he will amnesty the world. I heard that this year's tax revenue has been reduced by [-]% compared to previous years."

"Isn't that right? Two days ago, I heard from my sister who was on duty in Xuanqing Palace that His Majesty has a very good temper. She accidentally broke a porcelain cup, and she never blamed her."

Chen Jingyu listened to the palace people's evaluation of Li Zhiyuan, and the corners of his lips could not help but smile. In terms of behavior, he was still exactly the same as before, but treated him differently.

"Master Chen, what are you laughing at?" The newly transferred little maid was a gossip and couldn't help but make a noise.

Chen Jingyu quickly put away the smile on his lips, he wanted to talk about Li Zhiyuan with these palace people, but when the words came to his lips, he was surprised that he was not qualified for this, so he could only say flatly, "Your Majesty is a benevolent king."

"Naturally," the little palace maid said with a smile, and then asked doubtfully, "Master Chen, are you an old acquaintance with His Majesty?"

Chen Jingyu was hit by her unintentional question.

Old acquaintances are more than just old acquaintances, they had the closest relationship, but considering that Li Zhiyuan placed him here, and specially let strangers take care of him, presumably they did not want others to know their past.

Bitterness spread from his lips and tongue, and he endured the unbearable pain and said, "It's just my honor to meet Long Yan...it's not acquaintance."

The little palace lady was about to ask, when she suddenly heard a deep voice from the unclosed door, mixed with a bit of anger, "Master Chen is right, I am indeed not familiar with Mr. Chen."

One sentence stirred up waves, and Chen Jingyu looked at the sound in horror, only to see Li Zhiyuan coming from outside the door holding a glazed palace lantern. His face was like a lotus, and only his eyes reflected frost It's so cold, it's chilling to the bone at a glance.

I don't know how long he stood outside the door and how much he listened.

The palace people were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Chen Jingyu and Li Zhiyuan looked at each other for a while, then bowed their knees to salute.

The cold ground hurt his kneecap.

Li Zhiyuan only let the palace man go out, and didn't mean to let him get up.

The door was closed tightly, and there were only two people left in the house.

Chen Jingyu lowered his head, not daring to look up into Li Zhiyuan's eyes, until Li Zhiyuan came in front of him, until Li Zhiyuan pinched his chin with his slender white hands and forced him to raise his eyes.

This time he saw clearly the anger and hatred in Li Zhiyuan's eyes.

"But I haven't seen you in a month, Chen Jingyu." Li Zhiyuan remembered Li Zhiying's words today, squeezed Chen Jingyu's jaw more and more tightly, and said words from between his teeth, "Are you so eager to draw a line with me?"

The hands pinching Chen Jingyu's chin seemed to penetrate into his heart, holding his heart tightly. Chen Jingyu looked into Li Zhiyuan's eyes, and was burned by the hatred and anger, and the corners of his eyes suddenly turned red, as if burned. The imprint he left was also engraved into Li Zhiyuan's heart.

Li Zhiyuan: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu my wife actually said that she doesn't know me well
