Break the line

Miss you! "

Li Zui put his hands on the emperor's shoulders: "Ping An, you are 15 years old, you are an adult, you are the emperor, I am the princess, we have inherited the blood of the royal family, and we have our own responsibility to support the people. Go on your behalf." Pope, it is my responsibility, there is no right or wrong, only should or should not, understand?"

The emperor nodded vigorously: "Sister, I understand, this is the sacrifice that the emperor talked about, sacrificing the near for the far greater, you believe me, one day in the future, if there is a need for me to sacrifice, I will definitely die." No excuses!"

"Shut up!" Li Zui's expression rarely changed, and the little emperor was so frightened that he forgot to choke up.

She forced the emperor to look up at herself: "Li Shou, remember, if you don't encounter difficulties or want something, your first reaction is to sacrifice others, those near you, in exchange for self-righteous people far away. You are the real sinner! You are the emperor, what you want to do is to strengthen the country and keep the people safe, and keep the world peaceful. I am the princess, and what I want to do is to go to the pope to practice as a representative of the royal family. These are what we should do matter!"

The emperor finally calmed down, pursed his lips, listened, and remembered, this might be the last time my sister educated herself in this life.

"Be responsible and make a difference, instead of one-sidedly sacrificing the weak nearby in exchange for the unattainable and self-righteous greatness. You are the emperor and the master of the world. Only when you cherish every common people can you truly enjoy the world."

Li Zui sighed: "Don't be like King Xiande, he has been sacrificing others in self-righteousness all his life in exchange for the so-called righteousness. In the end, his whole life is just absurd, and everyone betrays relatives."

Hmmm, the little emperor nodded with tears in his eyes: "Sister, I will not sacrifice others easily, nor will I sacrifice myself easily, but I will try my best to be a good emperor and protect the people around me and the people in the world. I, I will not Learn from Uncle Emperor!"

Li Zui looked at the frail little boy, Chang An was born noble, but had a bad fate, and what awaited him in the future was even more difficult, but he was a good boy, kind, open-minded, and brave.Maybe this is the last farewell, she hugged the emperor and patted his back desperately, if only I could cure you, even if it cost my life!

"Sister, can you talk to Cheng Qi alone?" The little emperor asked tentatively, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Li Zui came out and cupped his hands, "Can I have a conversation with the two of you alone?"

Cheng Qi and Fan Yu hurriedly returned their salutes: "It's my honor."

Li Zui led Cheng Qi into the conservatory in the garden. Just as he stood still, Cheng Qi suddenly restrained the incongruous smile on his face, and bowed respectfully. Li Zui was not surprised, she never He thinks that Cheng Qi is a dude, who can manage his relative Cheng like an iron bucket when his father is thousands of miles away.It's just that Cheng Qi's following words startled her: "Chen Cheng Qi has admired the princess for a long time, and has asked for a marriage. The princess will get married after returning to Beijing from the Pope's training!"

Li Zui looked at Cheng Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and poked his forehead: "Cheng Qi, wake up? I'm going to the Pope, and I probably won't be able to come back."

"I understand."

"Then you are not married?"

"The aunt of the minister is stupid. I am sorry for the princess for making such a bad plan. The minister can only use the marriage of the minister to remind her that no matter what method she uses in the future, she must think about bringing you back. cut off."

Li Zui patted Cheng Qi's shoulder: "Ah Qi, before we were eight years old, we grew up together in the palace."

"Jialan, you haven't called me Aqi for eight years."

The two precocious playmates finally broke through the barriers that could not be broken, and sat down to chat.

"Ah Qi, thank you for thinking of saving me in this way." Li Zui was finally moved, look, her friend is still there.

"However, don't do this. Don't say you admire because of guilt. I think you have already told His Majesty, so don't mention it again. I have my mission, my ambition, my destiny, and in my destiny You will always be my most precious friend."

Cheng Qi looked at Li Zui's burning gaze: "The most precious, friend?"

"Um!"

The two bowed to say goodbye. This trip is high and the road is far away, and it may be difficult to see each other again in this life.

Leading Cheng Qi back to the hall, Li Zui took Fan Yu into the garden again. Under Yuan Lan, there was a long silence: "Fan Yu, the matter about your great-grandmother...I..."

"You don't need to say too much, the princess. I grew up reading sage books in the palace. I know right from wrong. My great-grandmother committed a serious crime."

"Yes, we all grew up together in the palace since we were young, but it's a pity that it's still like this today."

"Did they embarrass you? Ask Cheng Qi to help you, and the emperor will not anger you because of your great-grandmother."

"What happened can't be taken back, and the prejudices that have been formed will always be there. They think that the Fan family is crooked, and that I am a relative of a criminal. They are all facts."

Li Zui didn't know how to go on, the case of Blood Moon Stone, after the death of Mrs. Fan, Fan Yu was bullied in the accompanying reading, you can't say he is right, the family and the individual are both prosperous and damaged Yes, but you can't say he was wrong, after all, from the beginning to the end, Fan Yu, who lived in the palace all the year round, didn't know that his great-grandmother robbed Yueji for him.

Sometimes, some grievances have to be endured as much as some honors.

"Jialan, don't worry, I don't need to talk to them, time and facts will tell the world, what kind of person I am, I am not just the great-grandson of the criminal Mrs. Fan, I am still myself, Fan Yu."

Li Zui was glad that Fan Yu had always been reticent, but she saw clearly, she patted Fan Yu's shoulder, and the two returned to the hall.

Finally, at the moment of parting, Li Zui bowed deeply in front of the three of them, wishing us to break through the wind and waves, and when we meet again at that time, all disasters will disappear and the world will be peaceful!

Cheng Qi playfully added a sentence: "Shoot the eagles and catch the deer, and ride the forest!"

"Run on the forest!"

"it is good!"

After seeing off the three of them, Li Zui went back to the inner room, sat quietly, guarding a candle, she was waiting for someone, she believed that she would definitely come, time passed by, it was almost midnight, there were footsteps outside the door, One person pushed the door and entered.

"Mother, you are here."

Chapter 25

"Well, you always come too late." The mother sat on the side of her bed, so close to each other that when she lowered her head, her hair brushed against her face, softly carrying the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus , still a little itchy.

Mother held her down: "Don't get up, you have to go on the road tomorrow, lie down for a while."

The mother and daughter faced each other quietly and remained silent for a long time.

"Your name doesn't mean that at all." Mother finally raised her head. Through the open window, today's moon is thin. Many years ago, when she was Miss Chao, she often went in and out of the palace. Grandmother Concubine Chao Taifei had nothing at her knees, so she took Huan Huan's knees to study and play with the third elder brother and the prince's senior brother. At her early ten years old, she didn't have so many taboos.At the beginning of autumn of that year, the dining room brought the best crabs, each of which was the size of a bowl, full of yellow fat. It happened that the third brother finally got his father's nod to go to Shaping Academy, which he had dreamed of, despite her chattering and clamoring. Going nonsense, the prince brother who had been silent all this time suddenly proposed: "In the evening, I have prepared a table of crab feasts as a farewell farewell." So, it was also such a first-quarter moon night, the waiters were waved away, and the three sat around the table Next to him, the third brother raised his wine glass: "The crabs in the palace are fat and fat!" He is always so careless, and in his father's words, he is not polite enough. Fortunately, the prince and senior brother don't mind. Perhaps, he is missing someone who doesn't kowtow to salute Just talk to him. "Buyu, actually, I too..." Halfway through the crown prince's words, Chao Buyu drank the wine in his glass and sighed in admiration. What he said in a low voice could not be heard a foot away, but she heard it.

"Your Highness, everyone has their own destiny. You were born to inherit the great rule and rule the world. My idea of ​​freedom is just a game of libertines. There are elder brothers and younger sisters in the family, so I am allowed to go out." Nonsense. You can't, so don't think about it, let alone increase your troubles."

"It's too much trouble?" Senior Prince Prince drank the wine in one gulp, played with the wine in his hand, muttered to himself, and smiled.

Chao Buyu looked at his younger sister with the most tender eyes in the world, and said, "Bu Yu has wind in his blood, wandering around the world, the only one who can't let go is my little sister. For more than ten years, we have protected her so well that we always I'm worried that she will be at her husband's house in the future..."

The prince showed her a doting smile: "Xiaobing was born to be cherished, inside and outside the palace, in heaven and on earth, I will definitely protect her well, trust me."

This was probably the last time that the third brother believed in the prince. A few years later, the Chao family became the paving stone for the imperial power. So he ran to the middle of Sichuan and became a merchant. The first emperor wrote a letter of recruitment to the middle of Shu every year, but he didn't receive a single word of reply until his death.

"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise your glass to invite the bright moon, and you will form three people. You will meet each other when you wake up, and you will be separated when you are drunk. You will be ruthless forever, and you will meet each other forever." The delicious crab feast In the end, the third elder brother recited a drinking poem of the predecessors, and the prince was also very excited, and wrote it down with splashes of ink. Only the little Chao Bing remembered a little sadness of that night, thought twice, and the three of them For wine, there is no more in this life.

"So, my name is not a crime of guilt?" Li Zuidang started to do it, this name that had oppressed her for almost her whole life seemed to be turning around.

"No, at least not entirely. Jialan, I
