thank you + extra

It turns out that if we have the same mind, we will not feel lonely because of the temporary separation.

But Liu Zao felt lonely and missed Mr. Xie all the time. Could it be that their hearts are not connected?In the past year, they have been together less and more often. Even if they meet, they only look at each other, and they rarely even have the opportunity to say a word of affection in private, but she is not lost. Xie Xiang has her in her heart, and her heart is full of thanks. They have the same mind.

But after discussing posthumous titles, the ties between them seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. Prime Minister Xie didn't agree with what she did, and she didn't want to stop there. They ran in opposite directions and gradually drifted away.

Liu Zao looked at the corner of the main hall, there were so many memorials that could flood the Xuanshi Hall, but there was not a single name that belonged to Prime Minister Xie.She didn't come to see her, and she didn't say a word, Liu Zao couldn't help recalling Xie Yi's forbearance, and his heart ached like a knife.

"Your Majesty." It is an official of Tingwei Temple.

Liu Zao sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

"How should the two rebellious prisoners be dealt with? I implore your majesty to issue an edict."

The two rebellious prisoners are Yanjia Kuangsheng and the petty official.Liu Zao convicted them of treason on the spot.The crime of treason has implicated the three clans.Liu Zao should have blurted out, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips.In the final analysis, they were just admonishing the Lord when he went astray. If it was something else, she would not only not punish her, but would reward her.

Liu Zao was confused for a moment, but she couldn't let others see her wavering, she opened her mouth and said, "I will be detained in prison and will not be released."

The subordinate officials took the order to go.

Liu Zao lingered in the hall for half a day, changed his clothes, and went to the old house.

She has not offered incense to her grandmother for several months.

When I arrived outside the old house, I saw the prime minister's car parked outside the main entrance.I met Xie Xiang by chance.Liu Zao was overjoyed and hurried in, but when he was about to enter the main hall, he was nervous.

She slowed down her pace a little, trying to walk more steadily.

Xie Yi stood in front of the coffin with her back to the door.The incense had been inserted into the censer, and a long strand of ashes had burned out, showing that she had been here for a long time.Hearing the sound behind her, she turned and looked over.

Xie Yi's eyes were extremely pale, seeing her was neither unexpected nor pleasant, Liu Zao suddenly felt suffocated and was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Sandalwood incense curled up, incense candles were faint, and the spirit seat of the old lady seemed to be watching them.

Xie Yi raised his sleeves to salute, Liu Zao finally recovered his voice and said, "Excuse me."

Xie Yi straightened up, the two looked at each other without saying a word.Liu Zao wanted to say a thousand words, but when he was in front of Xie Yi, he became dumb again.They looked at each other for a while, Xie Yi looked back at the spiritual seat, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is talking to the old lady, and I will take my leave."

She is leaving.Liu Zao was anxious, but the words to persuade her to stay got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out.She could only nod indifferently.

Xie Yi glanced at her and walked away.

They run in opposite directions, really getting farther and farther apart.Liu Zao stood in front of the coffin in frustration, unable to even gather the strength to light a stick of incense.The grandmother not only failed to comfort her, but made her more flustered.

When they returned to the palace, it was already dark.There is food feeding in the hall, and Liu Zao sits behind the food table, looking up, it is a bit cold.The meal is delicate and rich, and Liu Zao is like chewing wax.She swallowed twice without knowing what to eat, and finally pushed the bowl away.

Seeing this, Hu Ao became very worried, fearing that the emperor would be starving, so he stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, use some more. Xie Xiangruo knows that His Majesty will deal with it hastily, and I'm afraid he will be worried again."

Hearing this, Liu Zao sat back down again, forcefully stuffing the whole bowl of rice down.Hu Ao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Liu Zao looked at the empty bowl, but seemed to have emptied his heart.

She simply walked to the pepper room.

The Jiaofang Palace has been tidied up, elegant and elegant. Although Xie Yi didn't live here, there are traces of her everywhere.Liu Zao walked to the bed where they had been lying together, bent over and stroked the quilt.

She still didn't want to back down. Instead of procrastinating, it's better to cut through the mess quickly. There will be chaos anyway. It's better to come early, while she is young, and she still has enough time to clean up the mess.

Liu Zao persuaded himself in this way, but his heart became more empty because of Xie Yi's estrangement.She glanced at the same empty bed again, and turned around resolutely to go out of the hall.

The nights before and after Zhengdan are especially cold, with heavy snowfall and howling north wind.

Liu Zao rode a horse, raised his whip repeatedly, and galloped towards the prime minister's mansion.The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed tightly, and the door had already been closed. When the door was knocked open, he was still rubbing his sleepy eyes. Seeing that it was her, he immediately lost his sleepiness, and hurriedly said: "Young one, I will report it now."

Liu Zao said, "No need." As he said that, he went to the mansion, but the gatekeeper didn't dare to stop her, so he could only worry behind him.

Liu Zao was very familiar with the way, and could find Xie Yi's bedroom with her eyes closed. She walked fast, only wanting to go to Xie Yi's side.

The door of the bedroom was closed, Liu Zao knocked lightly twice, and the maidservant who was watching the night came to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Liu Zao also lowered his voice, and replied: "Zhen."

The door opened.

Liu Zao waved his hand to let the servant girl back down.I went to the shoes and socks by myself, and went to the inner room more quietly.

The room was dark, except for a lamp on the bed.Xie Yi was lying on the bed with her back facing the outside.Liu Zao took off his outer robe, and laid down cautiously beside her.One cold and one hot, she was so excited that she shivered, and only then did she feel the bone-piercing chill all the way.She didn't dare to approach him anymore, she was afraid of freezing Xie Yi, so she lay down next to the edge of the bed.

Xie Xiang was right in front of her eyes, within reach.Her heart instantly had a place to rest, like a puppy wandering outside on a winter night, returning home, feeling warm and amiable.

Xie Yi had already woken up, she was a light sleeper, when Liu Zao knocked on the door, she woke up.

When she turned around, Liu Zao was startled, her voice was stiff, and she whispered, "You, are you awake?"

Xie Yi remained silent, opened the brocade quilt, accommodated Liu Zao in, put her hands on his lower abdomen, and clamped her feet between her calves.Liu Zao hastily declined.Her body was as cold as ice, it would definitely not feel good if the ice cubes were next to her.Xie Yi glanced at her, Liu Zao didn't dare to move immediately.

"Wake up tomorrow and go back to the palace early." Xie Yi said.

Liu Zao nodded.Xie Yi closed her eyes again.But Liu Zao knew that she would not be able to fall asleep.She waited for a while until her body warmed up before sticking to it.Xie Yi did not refuse, and let her hug her.

"Yi'er, I miss you so much." She rubbed Xie Yi's neck and confided in a low voice.

Xie Yi raised his hand and stroked her shoulder.Liu Zao felt that her hollowed out heart was filling up bit by bit.

"I have roughly calculated that it will take ten years to clean up the imperial court since the discussion of posthumous posthumous title." Liu Zao said slowly, "How many more decades do you and I have?"

"What about after the Empress? Maybe there will be a day of peace in the court?"

Liu Zao said: "Ten years later, we will stand up and have the energy to revive the court."

"Overwhelmed by water, it's hard to get back, the court is in chaos, how to revive it? Even if you really have the ability. In ten years, regardless of the instability of the court, the princes, kings and barbarians will take advantage of the situation to make trouble. Just the chaos of the court will affect Li Sheng, and suffer in the middle." What about the common people? Surrounded by traitors and sycophants, loyal and good ministers are excluded, and good ministers who die innocently are exiled. You are the emperor, so you should be righteous and benefit the world, not for your own self-interest, making the world turbulent and the people miserable. "Xie Yi's tone was not harsh, but revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

These Liu Zao naturally understand, but what about them?Should it be hidden?In front of the officials, they dare not even look at each other for a long time.

Liu Zao could hear the exhaustion in Xie Yi's words, and she finally asked, "Are you disappointed in me?"

Xie Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Liu Zao thought that she would never back down and give up, but all her persistence was defeated by Xie Yi's actions.She hugged Xie Yi tightly, hoping to gain some comfort from it.But she was still uneasy, still afraid."Will you leave me?" she asked.

Xie Yi knew that she was afraid, and knew that she was uneasy, so she still ruthlessly said, "If Your Majesty wants to do it his way, I will."

After she finished speaking, the person holding her tightly seemed to be drained of all strength. After a while, Xie Yi felt the warm moisture from her neck.

Chapter 100

Liu Zao is actually in her twenties, and she can no longer be called young, but there is always a 14-year gap between them. Xie Yi has raised her for a while, so no matter how old she grows, in Xie Yi's heart, she is still the little girl she was when she was young. Childish.

Hearing her calling Yi'er, Xie Yi was delighted, but felt that His Majesty was like a child pretending to be an adult, imitating the behavior of an adult to express affection, and felt that she was immature and cute.Admire her, love her, and never allow her to go astray.

Right now, she restrained herself from crying and shed tears silently. Xie Yi was naturally distressed and wondered if she was too harsh. After all, His Majesty's sincerity was all for her.However, state affairs are the most important thing, so she can't back down and allow Liu Zao to act recklessly.

She tentatively stroked Liu Zao's face, wiped away her tears, and comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, don't cry."

Liu Zao turned his face slightly, but he didn't show any resistance, nor did he make a sound.Her face was stained with tears, and her eyelashes were wet with tears.The room was dark, only a small lamp in front of the bed illuminated, so Xie Yi could only caress her face inch by inch, and wipe away tears inch by inch, "If Your Majesty can rein in the horse, I will never leave."
