In the early morning of the next day, Mu Qianli finished washing up, changed into a golden-brown uniform, and pushed open the door. Su Yetao was wearing a simple dress today, a slim dark blue shirt with a silver armor around her waist, and she had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Mu Qianli coming out, his fine eyelashes trembled slightly, he took a step back respectfully, and buried his head in worship: "My lord." He has always been a cold person, so his face is always calm and serious.

"Let's go." Mu Qianli straightened his sleeves, looked up at Su Yetao and comforted him, "Don't worry, this king will definitely persuade Yuzhi."

"Yes, thank you, my lord." Su Yetao thanked again with downcast eyes, then turned around and walked outside the palace with Mu Qianli and Jin Chao.

Jin Chao stared at Su Yetao's back, looked sideways at Mu Qianli, turned his head slightly, and asked in a low voice near Mu Qianli's ear: "My lord, you asked me to make an appointment with A Yuan yesterday, do you still want to go?"

"Let's go tomorrow." Mu Qianli shook his head, and quickened his pace: "The matter of Yuzhi is important today."

When they arrived at the palace, they went straight to Su Yuzhi's Ningxiang Palace. Su Yuzhi had been going in and out since Mu Youfang's death. Ningxiang Palace felt that the surroundings were depressed, and the feeling of guilt in his heart was a little heavier.

Dust had already fallen on the door of the palace, and several palace servants were searching quietly in the corridor with brooms. When they heard footsteps and saw Mu Qianli, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed to salute: "The Regent .”

Mu Qianli waved his hand to signal them to get up, Su Yetao was still leading the way, Mu Qianli and Jinchao walked to a hall door, Su Yetao raised his hand and paused in front of the door, then put his hand on the door and pushed it away the heavy door.

The inside of the hall was not bright or dark, a few curtains of tulle were rippling in the breeze, and the clear light came in from the round window on the side, making everything in the hall present a quiet and simple atmosphere.

And there was a woman sitting in front of the round window, the purple-blue skirt on her body was hanging down from the couch she was sitting on to the ground.She was holding an embroidery plate in her hand, and she was pinching the needle and sewing carefully one by one. Suddenly, she felt that the light in front of her eyes had dimmed a little, and she couldn't help but look up. When she saw someone coming, her hands that were embroidering trembled. , a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually became moist, like peach blossoms stained with rain.

"My lord!" After so many years, Su Yuzhi saw Mu Qianli again, and she couldn't believe it for a while. With tears in her eyes and excitement, she eagerly stood up from the couch and walked to Mu Qianli's side in a few steps. But he did not forget the etiquette, leaned over and said: "Yuzhi pays homage to the prince."

"Yuzhi, you don't have to be polite to me." Seeing Su Yuzhi leaning over, Mu Qianli quickly reached out to help her up. Seeing her old friend again, he was also excited and happy, and said with gratitude: "Yuzhi, this king wants to Thank you, without you, this king would not have returned to Beijing so soon."

"The prince is kind to Yuzhi, and Yuzhi should repay it." Su Yuzhi took Mu Qianli to the couch and sat down, picked up the teapot on the small table beside him and poured a cup of tea for Mu Qianli, handed it to him, and turned his eyes to look at his younger brother. After taking a look, he looked back at Mu Qianli and said, "The lord must have heard from Ye Tao that I want to go to the Taimiao to practice."

"This king is here today for this purpose, Yuzhi." Mu Qianli put down his teacup, sighed softly and said, "Now that everything is settled, you are a meritorious person, why don't you stay in the palace and be with us."

Su Yuzhi turned his eyes, sighed, and looked out the window: "Yuzhi has been in the palace for many years, and she is used to seeing battles in the palace. Now she just wants to go to the Taimiao and cultivate her character quietly. Your lord, don't persuade me."

"But you sacrificed yourself for this king, dedicated for many years, and this king has not yet repaid." Mu Qianli heard Yuzhi's words, and said in his heart, it was a pity that he was too late to repay Lanying, but now he can't even repay Yuzhi's kindness.

Hearing this, Yuzhi shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Yuzhi said earlier that the prince need not be ashamed of me, you took me and my younger brother, and now you bring Ye Tao by your side and reuse him, Yuzhi is really grateful It's just that Yuzhi doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, and I hope the prince won't force it."

Mu Qianli was speechless for a while, but Su Yuzhi turned to look at Su Yetao, beckoning, Su Yetao walked up knowingly, Su Yuzhi reached out and patted his shoulder, and then looked at Mu Qianli to Su Yetao Instructed: "A Tao, you must protect the prince with all your heart in the future, and don't let him get hurt in the slightest. This is my sister's entrustment to you."

"Yes." Su Yetao lowered her head obediently.Yuzhi rubbed his hair lightly, then turned her head to look at Mu Qianli with a smile.A cool breeze blew in from the round window, and the hall was quiet.

Under Yu Yang, Mu Qianli watched Su Yetao take Su Yuzhi's carriage away from the palace gradually on the palace street. Standing behind Mu Qianli, he couldn't help sighing, turned his head inadvertently, but saw Mu Qianli There was a layer of sadness on his face. This was the only time in the past two years that he saw his most real emotions on Mu Qianli's face. For a moment, he seemed to be back in front of his father's coffin five years ago. , a lost and helpless teenager.

But now it is no longer five years ago, the true feelings only stayed on Mu Qianli's face for a moment, and then was buried by Mu Qianli again. With his deep eyes, he looked forward sharply, and suddenly moved his footsteps , walked in the direction outside the palace, with neither sad nor happy tone: "Let's go, let's go see Lan Ying."

Mo Lanying's tomb is at the foot of a hill outside the imperial city, where dozens of miles of peach blossoms are planted, but, in this season, only sparse leaves and black branches are left of the gorgeous peach blossoms. The low grave became more and more desolate, Mu Qianli got off his horse, the wind blew up the veil on his clothes, he walked to Mo Lanying's grave, stood quietly, his eyes fell on the engraved Mo Lanying's name for a long time On the tombstone, I don't know what I am thinking about.

It was not until a long time later that the setting sun in the sky was almost hidden in the mountains, and he turned around, took the jug from Jinchao's hand, leaned over and placed it in front of Mo Lanying's tomb, knelt down on his knees, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Lanying!" Britain."

He suddenly remembered that when he was young, General Chen Chen Bing, who tried his best to save his life and finally died in the desert. It turned out that he had been in debt to others since then, but he was young at that time, and he didn't know how much he owed him. People lost their lives for him.

He felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, tearing his chest apart, causing bursts of pain. If it was possible, he really wanted to, really wanted to go back to his childhood, he was the most worry-free in the capital under the grace of his parents. Carefree little prince.But, I can't go back, those who died along the way can never come back...

In the past few days, Mu Qianli once again stood on the city wall of the imperial palace, and what he saw was a vast and boundless country. He finally, finally stood at the pinnacle of power, but he was also burdened with shackles.

Under the palace wall, Gu Shibai was riding on a steed, looking up at the man standing on the wall, he got off his horse, and walked quickly towards the man. Clothes, Mu Qianli looked sideways at the person who came, and there was a look of indifference in his deep eyes: "You are here..." He seemed to have expected his arrival.

After saying this, he looked in the direction of the distant mountains calmly, and recalled the past: "I used to not understand why Kuduo was not allowed to be free even though he was a king. Now, I finally understand."

"Ah Qian..." Gu Shibai called out involuntarily, his voice becoming a little hoarse in the wind.

"I plan to take back the military power from Hui and Qi." Mu Qianli interrupted him, turned his head, looked at him calmly, and looked at him with some sadness: "You and I are destined to let go of the past, from now on... "He walked down and walked to his side: "You and I are only monarchs and ministers."

"Just be a monarch and a minister?" Gu Shibai said silently, and suddenly snorted: "How could I not know, between you and me..." Across thousands of mountains and thousands of miles?But one day, I will fill up all the valleys, cross mountains and ridges, and come to your side again, he said silently in his heart, bowing down respectfully with fists folded: "I obey the order, from today onwards, you and I will only be monarchs and ministers." , you guard the country, and the minister guards you."
