Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

The two looked at each other, Qi Chu's face was faintly anxious, and Xie Fan's expression was quite gloomy.

Xie Fan circled him on the bed, Qi Chu couldn't get out of bed for the time being, the two stared at each other for a while, Qi Chu knew that if he didn't agree to Xie Fan right now, he might not be able to leave today.

He didn't know what Xie Fan meant, and he was so persistent in wanting to talk to him, he thought there was nothing to talk about between them.

But he understands that Xie Fan is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal. If he does not agree to him, he is now living in the Grand Master's Mansion, and he will definitely come to harass him every day. Why don't he simply explain everything to Xie Fan today? , save him from entanglement in the future.

Thinking of this, Qi Chu said: "If I promise to talk to you once, you have to promise me that you will never pester me again in the future!"

Xie Fan fell silent.

Qi Chu turned his face away and said, "Since you don't agree, then we have nothing to talk about."

Xie Fan secretly clenched his fist in the armhole, feeling a little helpless... He seemed to feel that the feeling of powerlessness in childhood had come back, no, this feeling of powerlessness was even worse... After all, he could overcome the powerlessness of childhood by changing To be strong enough to change the status quo, but now he is strong enough to trample the world under his feet, but he can't do anything to the person in front of him... He has overcome obstacles all the way to this day, originally thought he was already strong enough to be invulnerable to water and fire, but this person in front of him, with a look in his eyes It can make him feel pain, incompetence, grievance...all the extra emotions that he thought he would never have.

The longing for the past two years day and night has settled on him, making him seem to have an emotional empathy with his majesty, otherwise why would he suffer even more when the person in front of him is sad and disturbed.

Xie Yu stared at Qi Chu's side face for a long while, and finally retreated. He pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Qi Chu turned his face and said: "What do you want to say today, you can say everything clearly."

Looking at his indifferent face, Xie Fan felt a dull pain in his heart, and there was some regret in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the misunderstanding between us is too deep."

Qi Chu ignored him.

Xie Yu said again: "It is true that I asked Wen Lin to do the poisoning...but it was not for your death, but for the Queen Mother."

Xie Yu glanced carefully at Qi Chu's face, as if he was afraid that he would be angry if he plotted against the Queen Mother.

Seeing that Qi Chu was still cold, he continued: "In that peach forest earlier, you mentioned Ningguo Hou Xuanyan in your words, and you must have known that Ningguohou was not born to Diji Roujia, but the Queen Mother and Na Ling. Xiaodao Changsheng's evil son?"

Qi Chu didn't say a word, and Xie Yan only regarded him as acquiescing, so he continued to explain: "...Poisoning is not about wanting your life, and letting other people replace you..."

He wants to say that no one can replace you.

But he knew in his heart that even if he said it now, His Majesty would not believe it at all, and would only think that he was eloquent.

Xie Yan tried not to mix his own personal feelings with his own words, he said, "That period was the Empress Dowager's delivery period, and you were poisoned so that I could live in the palace in the name of a servant..."

He looked into Qi Chu's eyes while talking, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about whether what he said was credible.

Xie Yu continued to explain: "If the empress dowager didn't catch her personal stolen goods on the day of her delivery, she would never admit that Xuan Yan was born by her."

His majesty finally spoke: "The queen mother and the Dong family have always been close to you, why did you turn against the queen mother?"

Xie Yu sneered, and suddenly thought of something, he glanced at Qi Chu, smiled instantly, lowered his eyebrows and explained patiently: "You never like to manage the government, so naturally you don't know, the Dong family and I are just to compete with the other four. The superficial allies of the assistant ministers, after the four assistant ministers left the court one after another, the rift between me and the Dong family has already appeared. Duke Bo Yuan has long been dissatisfied with me being superior to him. The last time I was assassinated in the Dong residence, it was They colluded with the Southern Dynasty in an attempt to put me to death...Since the Dong family has taken action against me, I am determined not to sit still...The Dong family is just a bunch of idiots and nothing to be afraid of, but they have their backs against the Queen Mother and cannot move easily. In order to get rid of the Dong family smoothly , I can only hold the empress dowager's son hostage, so that when I deal with the Dong family, the empress dowager will naturally be wary and won't interfere."

"That scoundrel is just a pawn for me to hold the Queen Mother hostage. I never thought of letting him replace you, let alone replacing you myself..." Xie Yu took a deep look at Qi Chu and said, "Or , Ever since you appeared, I have never thought of replacing you."

Qi Chu was startled, the meaning in Xie Fan's words must be what he thought, he couldn't help but look up at Xie Fan.

Xie Yu said clearly: "I knew earlier that you are not your original majesty." Then he added, "I am the first teacher of Emperor Yu Ling, and I am afraid that I spend more time with him than the Queen Mother and the first emperor. Quiet, suspicious, gloomy and cowardly, even if he gets married, his temperament cannot change so much."

Qi Chu said: "Then why didn't you expose me?"

Xie Yu's eyes were deep, and he lowered his head slightly to focus on him. His black pupils seemed to contain only Qi Chu, and he said in a deep voice: "At first I didn't know your origin, so I didn't dare to act rashly, but later... I I have selfish intentions and want you to stay with me all the time. At that time, I thought that you just need to be a carefree majesty, and I will do things for you that you don’t like. Jing Shengshi."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Chu's lips, he looked at Xie Fan coldly, and said, "You don't want the throne anymore?"

Xie Fan slightly staggered his eyes, he didn't want to see His Majesty look at him with such eyes, he looked at the embroidery patterns on the quilt, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I didn't want to be emperor at first, I just wanted to become stronger, and later I thought that only the Son of Heaven in this world can truly realize the ideals in his heart... and later, you are gone..."

When he mentioned the three words you left, his voice was as soft as a sigh, and he continued with a gloomy expression, "The throne is at your fingertips... But the loss in my heart is greater than the happiness, no, I am not happy at all... Maybe it is your leaving Let me finally realize what you mean to me..."

"In the past two years, I have always thought of you...I could not have come to Nanchao this time, but I have searched for Dayu in the past two years and have not heard of you. Zhou Boshen said that you might have come to Nanchao, so I came to Nanchao to look for you ..."

"That day at the banquet in the Southern Dynasty, I saw you in the crowd at a glance, and I felt a surge of ecstasy in my heart..." Xie Yan smiled at him, as if he was really happy. I immediately miss those days when we used to eat together."

Qi Chu said: "It's only been two days since I came to Nanchao, and your most confidant subordinate He Guang came to assassinate me. How can I believe that all this is not your order?"

Xie Yu smiled wryly and said: "It's all a trick of fate. Originally, I asked He Guang to follow you, but he didn't do well and made a big oolong... I punished him to come to Nanchao Jiankang to take over the hidden stake here. How could he think of him?" To be able to meet you here... Heguang's pursuit of you was not at my behest, but... I didn't kill Boren, but Heguang did assassinate you for me. Now, he has committed suicide gone."

Qi Chu said with a smile: "He Guang has been with you for so many years, for an outsider like me, you will kill if you say so?"

For a moment, Xie Yu thought about whether he should lie to the little emperor and say something nice: "Hitting you is like hurting myself, and He Guang deserves death."

But he remembered the scorching eyes of Ri Heguang when he committed suicide that day. Although he made his own way, he was loyal to him from the beginning to the end.A loyal subordinate should not be his tool to please others.

Xie Chen finally chose to confess: "I have to admit, if he just assassinated you, I wouldn't kill him, Heguang was cultivated by me, but... what I need is an obedient subordinate, not a An overreacher who makes decisions for the master without authorization, if he makes decisions without authorization and disrupts my plan, he can shirk responsibility by saying that he is for me, and over time, everyone will follow him, how can my instructions be effectively implemented?"

Seeing that Qi Chu didn't speak, Xie Yu thought that he felt that he was too cruel, so he couldn't help defending himself: "The combination of leniency and strictness is the art of imperial servants. Some mistakes can be forgiven, but once some mistakes are made, they must not be tolerated." .”

Qi Chu nodded, and said: "Of course I can't say how the grand master will control him. It's just..." he said, "He Guang thought you were good and did something you can't forgive, but why didn't you?"

He looked up at Xie Fan, his eyes burning: "You keep saying that you want to share the country with me, but have you ever asked me what I think? Put away your self-impression! The country is not worth nostalgia for me. This emperor is just a puppet, ministers are strong and masters are weak, if one day you don't want to share the country with me, how should I deal with myself at that time, the grand master is familiar with poetry and books, have you ever seen the emperor of the previous dynasty die well after the change of dynasty What? Besides, I don't care much about being an emperor, I just like living a free life."

Xie Yu pursed his lips, and said: "When we return to the Northern Dynasty, if you want to go out to play, you can go..." Suddenly, he saw Qi Chu smiling, that kind of helpless smile, so he stopped talking , did not go on.

Qi Chu looked at him and said, "Don't you understand? Freedom is not about going in and out or playing freely with the permission of others, but that my life is up to me. For example, if I don't want to be an emperor, I don't have to."

Xie Fan seemed a little depressed, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Qi Chu said: "You are also free, you can do whatever you want!... If you apologized for poisoning today, then I accept your apology, and we will treat it as if we don't know each other from now on."

Xie Yu stood up, looked down at Qi Chu for a while, his eyes were full of reluctance and pain, but finally he turned and left without saying a word.

Qi Chu looked at the back of him going out, feeling mixed feelings for a moment, not knowing how to describe each feeling.

From then on, he and Xie Yu will return to the bridge, return to the way...

Not long after Xie Yu left, Tangning walked in, saw Qi Chu lazily lying on the bed, and asked, "Why, did you argue with Xie Yu again?"

Qi Chu shook his head and said, "No, he promised not to pester me anymore..."

Tangning laughed and said, "This is not a happy event, so why do you look unhappy?"

Qi Chu turned over and lay down on the inside, with his back to Tangning, he said, "No."

Yuan Bao has always looked like he doesn't care about anything. When he was hunted down by Xie Yan's subordinates before, he should eat and play, and never wronged himself, but now he is so dull and lifeless. appearance?

During these days, Tangning saw Xie Fan's hostility towards him and Yuan Bao's possessiveness in her eyes. She originally thought that Yuan Bao had no such intentions towards Xie Fan, but seeing his dejected look now, she knew that Xie Fan was behind him. The heart is not without weight...

Seeing this situation, Tangning suddenly didn't feel so deeply guilty about the fact that she wanted to match Xie Fan and Qi Chu...
