I write a eulogy every day for the person beside my pillow

The next day, in Prince Ning's mansion, Xiao Luan was playing chess with Li Li.

At the end of the game, Li Li narrowly won with his son-in-law. He looked relaxed and took a sip of the unique tea from Prince Ning's Mansion.

Xiao Luan didn't care about the winners or losers of the half, and ordered someone to clean up the chessboard and replace it with pastries.

Just when a civet cat rushed into the pavilion, the civet cat ran and jumped up and was as light as a swallow. It didn't look like a fat Yuhuan domesticated, but it seemed to have entered the garden of Prince Ning's mansion from outside.

The civet cat was not afraid of strangers at all, following the scent of the pastry, it grabbed Xiao Lun's leg and jumped onto his lap.

"I heard that His Majesty disposed of a guard last night." Xiao Lie made a hook shape with his index finger and touched the civet cat's chin, and the civet cat narrowed its eyes comfortably.

Li Li suddenly smiled, as bright as the spring in the garden, "Does Ning Wang want to know how I killed that man? He said something wrong, and I ordered someone to cut him into a stick and put him in an urn. Hanging his life with ginseng soup, but he was so useless, he died after only two hours."

His descriptions are vivid and immersive, even the bones are cold.

Xiao Luan put down his teasing hand and looked at Li Li quietly.

The civet cat realized that no one was waiting for it, so it squatted on Xiao Lun's lap, washed his face for a while, and groomed his hair for a while. His paws drew silk threads out of Xiao Lun's expensive clothes, very arrogant.

Li Li was excited, and his smile deepened, "I looked through the records and found that there were people with tenacious vitality who could live for half a year after being tortured like this. King Ning, how long do you think it would last if it were you?"

Xiao Luan took a sip of tea calmly, "As long as Li'er says."

Then, Xiao Luan pinched a small piece of pastry, and gave it to the civet cat who was peeping at the table, eager to try it, and spread out his palm to feed it.

Probably because Xiao Lue's answer was too obviously perfunctory, Li Li suddenly felt lifeless, and the tea was also tasteless and tasteless, so he couldn't drink it.

Li Li snorted coldly, dropped his teacup, and looked like he was going to throw his sleeves and leave.

Xiao Luan grabbed his sleeve.

Xiao Luan said softly: "I will go to the palace to accompany you tonight."

Li Li pulled back his sleeves and said with a sneer, "You can enter the palace after you kill the people you told me about first."

After Li Li left, Xiao Luan fed the civet cat for a while.

The civet cat ate a small piece of pastry, and licked Xiao Pun's palm, not wanting to leave. Seeing the civet cat approaching him, Xiao Pun reached out to touch its belly.

Who knew that the raccoon cat turned ruthless, raised its paw and gave Xiao Luan a slap, jumped a few heights and then ran away without a trace.

"Little heartless." Xiao Lue cursed with a smile, but he didn't know if he was scolding the civet cat, or someone who ran away after taking advantage of him.

Not long after, a man with an unusual figure and appearance, but with quite light steps, knelt down in front of Xiao Luan silently.

"Tell me everything you have seen and heard, in every detail."

After a cup of tea, Xiao Lian tapped his fingertips on the table, "So he forgave Shen Zhaoyi, but killed Concubine Fu who came to make a report. He just ordered someone to kill that guard, and didn't torture him."

"What this subordinate said dare not be false. If it wasn't for what the guard said last, the emperor would even have planned to let the two of them go."

"Shen Zhaoyi is hard to come by, so it's okay to keep it, but that concubine Fu was killed too late, and the forces behind him have long been impatient to connect with each other." Xiao Lue shook his head helplessly, "His heart is cruel, and when he puts it on a woman, he always It will be greatly discounted."

"Master, do you want to send your subordinates to investigate the recent actions of the Liu and Huang clans?"

"No, just keep an eye on Li Li, don't let him notice, and don't let him take a step out of sight."

"As ordered."

Xiao Luan was the only one left in the gazebo again. He looked up at the garden, and the civet cat that scratched his paw ran back again, heartlessly pawing at the earthworms and bugs in the soil among the flowers, and breathed at them with its teeth and paws. .

Xiao Lu's thoughts drifted away, as if he suddenly thought of something, he burst out laughing.

Regarding the Shen Zhaoyi incident, Li Li kept his mouth shut, and finally the rumors still leaked out of the palace.

Only Li Li, Toad Palace, and Concubine Fu heard the words that caused Guard Mo's death, and Concubine Fu was no longer there.

Shen Zhaoyi watched her lover become a ghost under the sword with her own eyes, she was mentally disturbed, and no one would believe what she said in nonsense.

In front of the world, it was Shen Zhaoyi who had an affair with the guards. Li Li did not punish Shen Zhaoyi, but instead bestowed the death of Concubine Fu whom he loved before.

There are different opinions. One says that Li Li is really a lunatic and has a sick mind; the other says that Li Li actually loves Shen Zhaoyi. He couldn't kill her no matter what, but Li Li couldn't forgive Shen Zhaoyi, so he had no choice but to stop stepping into the harem.

The latter statement is more lingering and sentimental, and it is widely circulated among the women's standards in Beijing and China.

In short, no matter what the reason was, Li Li did not enter the harem again, and there was no other woman in the harem who could talk to Li Li like Concubine Fu.

In March, the last hurdle of the imperial examination-the palace examination was over, and the number one scholar, Tanhua, second place and Jinshi were selected.

In the past six months, Li Li killed many ministers, and many official positions were vacated in the court.

However, the imperial examinations are still the same as usual. Candidates are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Deng Ming, the speech official who was killed by Li Lizhang, once said that Li Li's indiscriminate killing would chill the hearts of scholars all over the world, and no one who is well-educated would dare to enter the court as an official.

It seems that the hearts of scholars in this world are getting colder and warmer faster.

The palace examination is to select the top three. Generally, the emperor personally writes the examination questions, and finally selects the number one scholar, second place and Tanhua.

Li Li was always lacking in interest in things other than killing people, so Yue Qingbai had full authority over the imperial examination.

After Yue Qingbai selected the people, he wrote the list and rankings into a memorial, and presented it to Li Li from the Toad Palace.

Li Li had no objection to the person selected by Yue Qingbai, and Zhubi agreed.

Xiao Lian happened to be present, glanced at the names of the top three on the memorial, and said to Li Li: "These three are capable of doing things, Your Majesty should see them."

Li Like gave a dispensable "hmm", but couldn't tell whether he meant to agree or not.

Xiao Huan stepped forward, stopped behind the chair where Li Li was sitting, let his head rest on his abdomen, and gently pressed his head.

With his eyes closed, Li Li said lazily and briefly, "See you." His voice was like a satisfied cat.

Xiao Luan laughed behind his back, "Your Majesty is very easy to coax sometimes."

Li Li raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and took out a list that he had drawn up earlier from the case, "Prince Ning may be too idle, so let's settle them for me."

Seeing the list, Xiao Luan paused for a moment, "Your Majesty will really give you difficult questions."

"King Ning is unwilling?"

"If I fail, I will die."

Li Li gritted his teeth, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Pian sighed and said, "Li'er, if you want to be the emperor of the Lan Dynasty for a long time, these people can be killed after a few years."

Li Li didn't answer. Once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it.

Xiao Luan hooked Li Li's chin, raised it up, and gently kneaded Li Li's lips with his fingers.

Li Li's eyes were closed tightly, and his eyelashes kept trembling.

Suddenly, Xiao Lun's fingers pried open Li Li's teeth, stirring back and forth, chasing the soft tongue in his mouth.

Li Li wanted to struggle, but Xiao Lue firmly held down his shoulder.

It wasn't until saliva overflowed from the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and his eyes were wet with physical tears, that Xiao Luan let Li Li go.

Li Li couldn't help coughing a few times, and stared at Xiao Luan with resentful eyes.

Xiao Lue was high above, a huge shadow oppressed Li Li, his eyes were deep, his voice was slightly hoarse, but his expression was colder than ever, "Li'er, I will only teach you once, will you know it?"

He meant something, how could Li Li not understand.

After a long time, Li Li gave birth to a lonely smile, "...I will."
