Sir, I can do it!

Li Kui bid farewell to Mr. Yu in a trance, and walked slowly along the palace wall.

The trend of the times, should do something.

Is Mr. Yu telling him that this is his chance?But the crown prince should belong to the sixth emperor's younger brother.

He caressed the palace wall made of blood with his hands, and under his feet was the bluestone road that had been deposited for a hundred years.Every path above is a story.The weather-beaten bluestone and red walls not only tell of the change of dynasties, but also show the cruel battles like beasts in this high palace city.

He didn't want to fight, but the husband told him he could.

Li Qi slowly calmed down, and looked in the direction of the main hall with complicated expressions.He knew in his heart that competing for that seat did not represent power, but a responsibility.

He didn't dare to think about leaving his name in history, but he might be able to be a wise king that is beneficial to the country.

Li Qi squeezed his fist and decided to wait and see.

Before he knew it, he had come to the end, he lowered his head and turned a corner, when a gust of wind blew, a silk handkerchief fluttered by the wind, just falling on his face.The smell on the silk handkerchief made him so familiar that he couldn't help taking it with his hands.

Zhang Bao, who was waiting by his side, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Your Highness, this thing of unknown origin should be lost soon."

Li Kui was thinking where he had smelled this smell before, and he couldn't help coming back to his senses when he heard Zhang Bao's words, he unfolded the silk handkerchief and looked at it, but saw a stream of clear spring embroidered with sky blue embroidery thread on the corner of the silk handkerchief, Take a closer look, there is a small word 'bamboo' in the corner.

Li Qi couldn't help but feel his heart move, he folded the silk handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.Zhang Bao wanted to persuade him again, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a little eunuch walking quickly with a panicked expression, looking around as he walked, as if he was looking for something.

Zhang Bao coughed, and shouted: "Which palace is so ignorant of the rules, His Royal Highness is here, why don't you quickly avoid it."

The inner eunuch panicked, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "The slave is innocent, Your Highness, please spare the slave."

Li Kui took a few steps forward, looked down at the inner eunuch, and said, "Raise your head."

The eunuch trembled, "I dare not."

"My Highness does not blame you."

Only then did the inner eunuch tremblingly raise his head, but his eyes were lowered all the time, not daring to look directly at Li Qi.

Li Kui's eyes fell on the red mole on the inner prison's eyebrow, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you on duty at Qingzhu Garden?"

The inner eunuch lowered his head at a loss, and answered in a trembling voice, 'Yes. '

Li Qi stared at him and asked: "Just now I saw you looking anxious, looking around, what did you lose?"

The inner warden quickly waved his hands: "No, nothing was lost."

Li Qi said slowly: "You will be punished with a stick if you lie to the master in the palace." He looked at the thin body of the inner eunuch, and said mercilessly, "Can you bear it?"

The inner eunuch trembled all over, his face pale.

Li Qi stared at him for a while, then retracted his eyes and said coldly: "My Highness has always been generous, and today I will spare your life. But my Highness remembers you."

Zhang Bao also took a special look at the inner eunuch, and remembered this person in his heart, and immediately called a clever inner eunuch to Qingzhuyuan to inquire after returning to the palace.

Ever since Mrs. Wei entered the palace to meet Wei Shuning that day, she seemed to have finally let go of the anger in her heart. She became more and more peaceful, but her body was also at its extreme.Doctor Chen revealed that it was time to prepare for the funeral.The atmosphere in Yongning Palace was quite stagnant.

Chang Le and Li Pei seemed to be extremely sensitive, they stayed in Yongning Palace all day long, never leaving Wei Shuning.

Wei Shuning looked lovingly at the children around her, her eyes were slightly red.

Chang Le held Wei Shuning's cold hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't the queen mother always thinking about Chang Le's marriage? The emperor has already appointed the son of the Wang family in Yuanzhou. Chang Le took a look at the Wang family's son from a distance. He is a very handsome man." .”

Li Pei muttered: "You are handsome, but you lack masculinity. You are far worse than my little uncle."

Wei Shuning and Chang Le looked at Li Pei quite speechlessly.

Nanny Gui also said: "The Wang family is a big family, Mr. Wang has made great contributions to the Weinan incident, and the Wang family is afraid that it will go up to a higher level."

Wei Shuning shook his head and said: "Changle will have to pass the age of marriage, and after marriage, you will live in the princess mansion. No matter how beautiful the Wang family is, you will live your own life behind closed doors, let's talk about our Wei family in Xiangzhou Not inferior to Wang's."

She looked at Chang Le whose facial features became more and more like her own, and sighed: "It's a pity that the queen mother can't wait to see you get married."

Chang Le's eyelashes filled with tears: "Mother..."

Wei Shuning waved his hand weakly: "Don't comfort the queen mother, the queen mother has already felt it, I seem to see mother calling me."

Gui Momo's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly winked at Little Mozi.Little Mozi wiped away his tears and hurried to Xuanming Palace.

In a daze, Wei Shuning seemed to have returned to her childhood, when her mother was still there.

Her mother is a gentle woman, always smiling at her softly, making beautiful clothes for her, and there are many beautiful pearl flowers.She likes to hold her in her arms, and then say: "Ning'er wants to be a beautiful girl, and when she grows up, she will marry a good man."

"Anyone like Dad?"

Mother's cheeks turned red, like the red clouds in the sky.She said, "As long as Ning'er likes it, that's fine."

Changle and Li Pei were taken away by the fan at some point, and Nanny Gui had been waiting by the bed.

Li Huai glanced at her several times, but she still remained motionless.

Li Huai sighed and said, "Nurse Gui, I want to be alone with Shuning for a while."

Since the birth of the sixth prince, Li Huai seldom came to Yongning Palace, and even when he did, he kept a cold face.It has been a long time since he spoke to the palace people in such a calm tone as today.

Nanny Gui sneaked a glance, and saw that there was a look of sadness in his eyes, which did not seem to be fake.Think about how the former emperor liked the queen very much.Even if he has been cold for many years, when he is dying, his heart will always soften.

Besides, the Queen has already run out of fuel, so are you afraid of what Li Huai will do.Not to mention that the princess and the sixth prince are still in the palace, they always rely on the emperor.If Li Huai could be made to show more sympathy for the princess and prince, life in the palace would be easier in the future.Even if the Hou's Mansion is powerful, but this is the palace after all, it is impossible to guard against, beyond reach.

Nanny Gui thought a lot for a moment, but her face remained calm, she blessed her body and said: "The old slave is waiting outside the hall."

After Nanny Gui stepped back, the hall fell into deathly silence again.

Wei Shuning seemed to have sensed something, she slowly opened her eyes, and familiar eyebrows broke into her sight, making her a little confused who was in front of her.

Sitting by the bed, Li Huai took Wei Shuning's hand and held it. What he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and it hurt so hot.

"You are here. Is it spring? I seem to smell the fragrance of peach blossoms."

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes gradually softened.

In my memory, her parents often took her and her younger brother to visit Taoshan.At that time, it was the time when the peach blossoms were in full bloom in spring. The peach blossoms were all over the mountains and fields, and when the wind blew, the petals would fall with the wind.

Wei Shuning walked through the peach trees in a lotus root pink dress, and shouted with a smile: "Mother, look, the petals are falling all over the ground, like snow."

Chu smiled and said, "Ning'er, run slowly and fall carefully."

Wei Shuning waved her little hands while running: "No, no, dad will protect me."

Wei Ru smiled and lifted Wei Shuning over his head, and said proudly: "Which peach branch is your favorite, dad will break it for you. Let's take it back to arrange flowers later."

Wei Shuning patted her hands and said with a smile: "Choose a few more branches and give them back to grandma. It's so pitiful that grandma couldn't come together."

Seeing her sister riding on her father's neck, Wei Xuan hurriedly grabbed Wei Ru's leg and shouted: "Father, father, eldest sister has been riding for a long time, and Xuan'er wants to ride a big horse too."

Wei Ru glared at him: "My sister is a girl, why don't you play a little longer."

Aggrieved, Wei Xuan wiped her tears and turned to complain to Mrs. Chu.

Wei Shuning is a good older sister, seeing her younger brother crying, she hurriedly slid off Wei Ru's shoulder and handed her a peach blossom: "Hey, crying is not a hero."

Wei Xuan took the peach blossom coyly, puffed up her chest and said, "I didn't cry, I want to become a hero like my father."

Wei Shuning silently cast her eyes on the remaining tears on Wei Xuan's face, watching him without speaking.

Wei Xuan blushed all of a sudden, and ran away holding the peach blossom.

The servants found a space and spread felt cloth, and laid out the food and drink one by one.The siblings were not hungry yet, so they ran to play nearby.

Wei Shuning was squatting on the ground to collect beautiful small stones, when suddenly a seven or eight-year-old boy came over from behind the tree, stared straight at Wei Shuning and asked: "You say that someone who can cry is not a hero? "

Wei Shuning was taken aback by his question, blinked and said: "You heard that, I coaxed my younger brother." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head to pick up stones.

The young boy grabbed Wei Shuning's wrist without giving up, and said, "You said it. It's not a hero who can cry. I won't cry anymore. If others bully me, I will bully them back and make them cry. In this way, I will cry." Isn't that a great hero?"

Wei Shuning struggled a bit, her eye circles were slightly red: "You scratched me."

The little boy let go of his palm, and saw that the girl's white and tender wrist was red, and couldn't help being a little annoyed.

Wei Shuning ran away when he let go of his hand, and when the little boy came back to his senses and wanted to ask her name, the girl had already run away, and he only had time to pick up a stone that the girl dropped... …

Nanny Gui was still young at that time, she was Wei Shuning's personal maid.Originally, she wanted to block an older child walking by, but seeing that the young lady was clever, she didn't mind her own business and just watched from the sidelines.Wei Shuning ran towards her and said, "Aunt Gui, there are no more beautiful rocks here, let's go play in front."

Nanny Gui smiled and said hello: "Miss, Madam will go to Huguo Temple to deliver Buddhist scriptures for the old lady later, we will go back later."

Wei Shuning nodded obediently.

"It's so dark..." Wei Shuning's eyes lost their luster.

Li Huai looked at the flickering candle and said, "The candle is about to burn out, I'll go change the candle, it won't be dark anytime soon."

Li Huai flicked the candle wick, replaced it with a candle, walked back to the bed, and asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Wei Shuning nodded with some difficulty, and now she seemed to see who the person in front of her eyes was again, and said, "I'm leaving."

Li Huai suddenly felt sore eyes.He thought about it, and it seemed that he came here to ask Shu Ning a word when she was dying. Regarding Li Pei, this was always a thorn in his heart.But the words turned into: "There is something I never told you."

"what's up?"

Li Huai choked, and said with a smile: "When I was a child in Taoshan, did a rude young man who wanted to be a hero scratch you."

Wei Shuning curled the corners of her mouth, her consciousness had already begun to slacken, she said: "Peach blossoms are beautiful... Did you hear that?"... The bell of Huguo Temple rang.
