Qu clear as promised

In these years, he has come back to do good deeds in order to wish him good knowledge, and he has seldom used real punishment and torture, but he still couldn't hold back his anger to this group of officials that day: "What qualifications do you mediocre officials who sit on their own to save the country? The reputation of your hero is judged!"

"Without the empress, you would have been ruined long ago! How could you have the opportunity to gossip in front of me with a black gauze hat! In the future, if you hear any rumors about the empress' reputation, I will blame you all , twisted their tongues and assigned them to the southwestern frontier as refugees for generations to come."

All the officials were so frightened that they screamed for mercy.

Liang Hui was furious, and these wine bags and food bags were also used to point fingers at the bright moon he was looking up at. Each of them was fined a hundred floggings and displayed at the city gate to make an example.

Zhu Zhiyi was silent, and said almost self-abuse: "But has the emperor thought about it? They are right. The emperor should be regarded as a pedantic minister. The minister is originally a person who sticks to the rules and has a boring temper. After a long time, you will lose your temper." will know."

"People's words are terrible, the emperor punished the officials of the court, and blocked the mouth of the world?" He liked Liang Hui, but he couldn't see Liang Hui being roasted in rumors and rumors, and became a joke of the world.He wanted him to be famous for his meritorious deeds, and he wanted him to sit in the Ming Hall with peace of mind.

Liang Hui was almost about to be laughed out of anger, took a deep breath, locked the opponent's eyes firmly, and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Zhiyi, I don't care about my name!"

"Don't say that nothing really happened to you, even if something really happened, I would never mind!"

"That will only make me admire you more, love you, respect you, and pity you. You are a victim, you are forced to be helpless, and you are bearing these humiliations and suffering these pains for the people of Daliang. Everyone in Liang Zimin's family should give you three kowtows and nine obeisances in gratitude, including me!"

"Those who imprisoned and enslaved you, I will not let go. I will accompany you to heal your wounds bit by bit, and ten times, a hundred times, a million times will still be on those people."

Liang Hui grabbed his wide sleeves almost bewilderedly and pleadingly, but he didn't dare to play any more tricks, and offered all his patience and sincerity: "Tell me if you have any worries about Qinggui, character, identity, heirs, reputation, Poison Gu, tell me, I will do my best to solve it, I will never let go, Zhu Qinggui."

Zhu Zhiyi's heart beat violently, and there was a burst of soreness. The pain clearly seeped into his internal organs. He couldn't help but want to respond to Liang Hui, and even couldn't help reaching out to hug him. Seeing Liang Hui's pain, his whole heart was shaken. twisted in one place.

Whatever Liang Hui wanted, he wanted to give, to treat him well, to hug him, but reason and principles were like rough reins holding him tightly, tearing him in half, making him so tortured that he couldn't breathe angry.

Zhu Zhiyi concealed the wetness in her eyes, clenched her trembling hands into fists, and said deliberately: "The emperor always said that the ministers were stubborn, old-fashioned, and didn't know how to adapt. The ministers see that the emperor is stubborn and does not do what he wants. Maybe you have thought about it?" But, in fact, you don't like me that much, what you like is the emotions, guilt, illusions and self-movement you created because of waiting for the past three years—"

"Zhu Zhiyi!" No matter how good-tempered Liang Hui was, he couldn't hear his belittling his friendship like this, his expression was obviously hurt, and his voice lowered, "You really hurt my heart by saying that, you really Do you think so?"

"Aren't I clear about my affection and my obsession? You don't need me or my love, but don't question it." He was silent for a moment, and said, "I beg you, I'm really serious if you say that. uncomfortable."

A heart seemed to be crushed hard. Zhu Zhiyi couldn't see Liang Hui's pain, and also hated his soft heart and indecision. He didn't know how to make Liang Hui retreat, so he could only ruthlessly say, "It's true that this is the case. Thinking about it, there are even more heart-wrenching ministers who didn't tell the emperor, does the emperor dare to listen?"

Liang Hui stared at him intently, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Zhu Zhiyi looked into his eyes and said very softly and word by word: "Does the emperor know what the minister is thinking at a certain moment when he can't wait for rescue for a long time and can't hold on?"

"I'm wondering if the emperor really wants to find me."

Liang Hui's complexion turned pale in an instant.

He knew that he had zero credibility with Zhu Zhiyi, but he never thought that he had become so cruel and utilitarian in the other party's heart—killing the donkey, hiding the bird, looking for people with half-truths, and even taking the opportunity Get rid of this hero who has made great achievements.

If it were someone else, Liang Hui might really do it. The overall situation has been settled, and people who know too many of his secrets and are no longer valuable will disappear in this riot without anyone noticing.

But the other party was Zhu Zhiyi, Zhu Zhiyi whose hands and feet were frozen and he had to dig three feet to search.

Anyone in this world can think of him that way, except Zhu Zhiyi.

A bloody smell surged into his throat, and it took Liang Hui a long time to barely make a sound, which was extremely hoarse: "I didn't, although you might not believe it, but I really didn't experience this from the beginning to the end. thoughts."

Zhu Zhiyi forced herself to be a cruel executioner and cut off his thoughts with her own hands: "I know that the emperor didn't, and I just couldn't hold on at that time. It would be better to think this way."

"The minister said that human nature is the most vulnerable to scrutiny, let alone you and I in such a position."

"Look, not only you will doubt me, but I will also doubt you."

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Zhu Zhiyi, who was raped and deprived of his official career when he was young, is full of instinctive guard and defensiveness towards the Tian family. Later, he also ended up in a miserable whereabouts of a three-foot grave with no one to bury him.

"Your Majesty should know best. In this position, if the ruler and ministers are like this, father and son are like this, and brothers are like this, husband and wife will not be spared. The emperor and ministers will not live forever, and the couple will not be able to have their heads white. Didn't the Emperor say that the ministers can do whatever they want? That minister's just this one request...cough cough cough..." He started to cough again after talking too much.

Liang Hui hurriedly handed him water, picked up the blanket that fell from his knees and covered him. Zhu Zhiyi's joints, muscles and bones were all injured, and he couldn't get into the wind.

Seeing Liang Hui half-kneeling on the ground and not getting up, Zhu Zhiyi was shocked: "What are you doing?! Get up quickly."

Liang Hui stuffed his cold hands into the blanket, and raised his face: "Qinggui, listen to me, I understand everything you said today, and I also listened to it. I know there are still many problems between us. Like mountains and seas, I understand your worries, your precautions, and your embarrassment. I really understand. If I were you and escaped death, I would never trust someone like Liang Junting again. , he's self-righteous, he's got a lot of bad marks—"

"I'm not this—"

"Listen to me first,"

"I'm not being angry, and I'm not asking for your pity by retreating. I will never play tricks with you again. From now on, there is only honesty between us. No, from now on, I will have no reservations about you. To be honest, you don’t have to be honest with me, you can keep your emotions and secrets, no matter whether you decide to be a husband and wife or a monarch and minister with me in the end.”

Zhu Zhiyi put his hands on his shoulders and wanted to pull him up, but Liang Hui immediately clenched his hands behind his back, like pulling a life-saving straw.

"I won't force you either, and I won't do anything that will put you under pressure or burden. I will listen to you, okay? I thought it was too simple before, and it must have made it difficult for you."

He lowered his head, pressed his face against the back of Zhu Zhiyi's hand, and rubbed it slowly, hiding the bottomless paranoia and abyss in his eyes.

After no longer sticking to her own narrow grief, Liang Hui gradually understood Zhu Zhiyi's thoughts.

After Zhu Zhiyi endured this great disaster, he still had to deal with someone he didn't like. He was full of enthusiasm and sincerely wanted to bring all the good things in this world to Zhu Zhiyi, but he didn't consider Zhu Zhiyi. Whether it is really necessary, whether it is acceptable or not.

Only time will prove his change, Liang Hui has a lot of patience, "Is this good, if you want to leave, at least wait until the poisonous Gu is completely cleared."

"Yu private, I'm really worried about you moving out of the palace to recuperate. I want to take care of you personally, and the imperial doctor can be there at any time; Yu Gong, you are a great hero, and I, as the king of a country, can't treat you like this. It’s time for the official to kneel at the palace gate again and speak out against me, don’t you think?”

Liang Hui knew that Zhu Zhiyi was someone who would never affect official affairs because of personal affairs. As long as he was still in this position for a day, he would not only be Liang Hui's husband, but also Liang Hui's queen. He might not stay because of Liang Hui. But it will definitely not leave for the time being because of the beam.

Zhu Zhiyi stared at him with red eyes, Liang Hui had an unusually stubborn calmness, and after speaking, he was unreservedly frank with him and did not tell a single lie: "Yes, I have selfish intentions, and I want to pursue him during this period of time. You, I know you think we are not suitable, but all the incompatibility is because we don't like it enough. I think my affection can stand the test."

"But it's my business for me to pursue you. You... don't feel burdened, just get to know me again, okay? If you still don't like me and don't change your mind when your poisonous Gu is completely cleared, I will respect it." Your decision will never be entangled."

Zhu Zhiyi said in her heart that there is no dislike for you, I already like you very much, I like you so much that my heart beats violently when I see you, I like you so much that I miss you very much, and my heart is uneasy, I like you so much that I have an unprecedented possessive desire and extreme, He likes it so much that even he feels terrified, but he has his own reasons, so I don't know if Liang Hui can understand.

Seeing that he was silent, Liang Hui said again: "Anyway, the initiative is always in your hands, so you can just treat it as... a delay in leaving the palace for a while, okay?" He tried to make it as easy as going out for a walk .

"No matter what the result is at that time, I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and will never get entangled. Whether you will be my queen or not, I will always reserve the position of the chief of the cabinet for you."

Zhu Zhiyi lowered her head and supported him with both hands: "Get up first, don't your knees hurt?"

Liang Hui pretended to raise his eyebrows relaxedly: "Will Qing Gui also feel sorry for me?"

"Why bother, Your Majesty."

"Because I like you. I like you so much," Liang Hui answered quickly, laughing at himself: "It's hard to like anyone else until I like it so much in my life. I won't be reconciled if I don't give it a try."

He turned to Zhu Zhiyi, his eyes were deep and quiet, making one's heart skip a beat: "Qinggui, you know what I want, what I like, and you never let go of it."

"Just be a bodhisattva once more and show kindness, just as if you want me to give up."
