Li Yan nodded towards Xie Mingyue and strode in.

The scenery inside the Changle Palace has not changed, except that one person in the courtyard is as tall as Wei Zi, who withered and worshiped last year, but there is no conclusion on what to plant, so it is empty for the time being.

He walks in.

Li Yan felt that he should not be nervous. He had been to Changle Palace countless times before. When Li Chengqi was seriously ill, he took care of Li Chengqi at the bedside in undressed clothes. He is familiar with every plant, every tree, and every arrangement, and even with his eyes closed, he knows the location.

He shouldn't be panic, because the Changle Palace has changed owners long ago, and the current owner is a young man who was recruited by him from the feudal domain to support him as emperor, not his unfathomable elder brother who is used to playing tricks on people's hearts.

The eunuch said loudly: "Prince Xuan has arrived—"

Hearing the sound of a young man coming out quickly, Li Yan bowed his head and bowed. Before he had time to greet him, a pair of soap-colored boots appeared in front of his eyes. Standing up, "Your Majesty." He looked up along the thin figure of the young man.

Even though he had seen it before, Li Yan couldn't help but tremble when his eyes fell on the little emperor's face.

Li Chengqi also sighed in her heart.

I sigh how Li Yin looks like, even his own son will not be more similar than Li Yin.

Everyone who had any relationship with Li Zhao was shocked when they saw Li Yin's appearance, except Xie Mingyue.

Li Chengqi let go of Li Yan's arm, "My lord, please."

Only then did Li Yan take his gaze away from Li Chengqi's face.

He hadn't seen him for half a year, but he felt that Li Yin was more and more like Li Zhao, with similar looks and manners, but the resemblance was not so similar. Li Yan had never seen Li Zhao's joyful and exuberant side.

Li Zhao would not have that side either.

Li Zhao in his heart is always high above, always... out of reach.

Li Chengqi served tea, took a sip, and looked up at Li Yan.

The young Xiuxi Junxiu, Li Chengqi died when Li Yan was in his 20s, logically speaking, he should have started a family and started a business. Li Chengqi looked at him on the sickbed, perhaps because the blood relationship between the two was too weak, the emperor looked at him With the face washed by tears, he always felt that there was still a little immature childishness on his face, but it was only three years ago, and those childishness had disappeared.

Li Yan sat quietly opposite Li Chengqi, his bright eyes were like a whole piece of Kunshan jade.

Li Chengqi suddenly felt relieved to see the younger generation grow up. The word Huang Shu rolled in his mouth. Even though he was cheeky, he still couldn't say it out. He just smiled at the young man and said: "My lord."

Li Yan put down his teacup, "Your Majesty." After he finished speaking, he quietly waited for Li Chengqi's next words.

Li Chengqi lowered his head and took another sip of tea.

The prince's name is inexplicable, and Li Yan's answer disappeared in an instant. Li Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't show anything on his face.

For a moment, Li Yan expected Li Chengqi to say something.

But Li Chengqi didn't say anything.

In the Boshan furnace, the incense burns slowly.

The fragrance of smoke curls up, and the fragrance is cool in summer, but it still has a warm sweetness.

As the breeze blew through the main hall, the round wind chimes hanging on the door swayed and jingled.

There is sound, but it seems that the hall is more quiet.

It was Li Yan who broke the silence. He considered his words and said slowly, "Your Majesty, what happened outside the city today is due to my negligence and usurping the emperor. It is not a pity for me to die nine times." Even Li Yan himself didn't know why the same When the young emperor spoke, he couldn't help showing the respect and prudence he had treated Li Zhao back then. When he got to the bottom of the matter, he didn't dare to believe it, let alone think about it, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Chengqi's clear eyes reflected his cramped face.

It is impossible to get into the matter of strange power and chaos, but seeing these eyes again is enough to make him ecstatic.

Nothing is important, the important thing is that there is his reflection in these eyes.

The slightly upturned eyes were bent, almost condensed into a beautiful line, "I don't know what happened today, it's not the prince's fault, it should be a lonely person who went to the palace to admit his mistakes, and the prince was implicated, this is an innocent disaster."

Li Chengqi spoke slowly, with a natural smile, it was as if a warm spring flowed through people's hearts, she was extremely considerate and gentle.

Li Zhao is still alive.

Li Yan only felt his eyes tighten.

He knew that if he wept in front of Li Chengqi at this moment, he would probably startle the little emperor, and hurriedly asked someone to hand him the handkerchief. After that, if he wanted to enter the palace again, Li Chengqi would probably think back to today, with lingering fears in his heart, find someone Reasons to refuse.

Li Yan knew it.

So he just hangs his head.

There were ripples in the tea in his hand.

Those things that I have done that even I think are absurd and weird flashed through my mind.

is it possible?

If it was possible, then why did Li Chengqi look at him with such a calm expression, just like seeing someone he had never met before?

"I dare not." Li Yan responded.

His voice was hoarse, a reaction he couldn't restrain no matter what.

The emperor's puzzled eyes fell on him, as if he didn't understand his reaction.

Li Yan took a sip of tea, showed a very natural smile, and calmly changed the subject, "Ningzhou is famous for its smelting and casting of swords. When I came to Ningzhou, I got a sharp blade by accident. I thought that a sword is a gentleman among soldiers." , and even the leader of a hundred soldiers, who fits His Majesty's identity perfectly, so he sent it to the palace, is that sword okay for you to pick?"

The frost blade is too sharp and cold, and all the sharpness is exposed outside. When Li Chengqi picks up the frost blade, he will always have the illusion that he will be backlashed by this sword that seems to be made of ice. Even though Li Chengqi knew that its sharpness was no less than that of Shuangren, she couldn't help but prefer Qingyu case.

"I like it alone." Li Chengqi didn't ask whether Li Yan picked it well, as if answering such a question, he smiled brightly, even the best flowers in Changle Palace couldn't match his smile.

Unsurprisingly, Li Yan was stunned for a moment.

Li Chengqi really doesn't like being controlled by others, even when talking, he wants others to follow his pace.

"It's the luck of Frost Blade that His Majesty likes it," Li Yan replied as if in a panic, paused, and added: "It's also the luck of the minister."

"Gu and the first emperor, are they very similar?" The little emperor asked with a smile.

Li Yan's expression changed slightly.

Li Chengqi looked at him with interest.

Li Yan entered the court as regent when he was alive, and now he is considered to be a high-ranking and powerful man.

However, Li Chengqi talked to him a few words, but felt that he hadn't changed from before, he was still the young man who bent his bow and shot arrows in front of her, so nervous that he couldn't hold the arrow steadily.

Li Yan's archery skills are superb, and a man who can draw a hard bow should be extremely stable, but at that time he couldn't even draw a feathered arrow.

Li Chengqi found it interesting.

He sat on a high platform, surrounded by screens on three sides to shield him from the wind, and in front of him stood a large bronze cauldron the height of a person, burning hot and red, and the heat was blowing on his face.

It was just autumn, and the frail emperor was wearing black fur. The thick and dense fur collar stuck to his chin, matching his snow-white skin. Before he could open his mouth, he coughed twice, his pale face was slightly pale Hong, "Give him the lonely arrow."

Whispering around, someone quietly looked at the face of Xie Mingyue who was kneeling beside the emperor, but saw that he was sitting upright with his usual expression on his face.

It's as if you didn't hear anything, as if you didn't care about anything.

In the past, only Xie Mingyue had such honor and favor, but today it was easily given to a clan son.

Li Yan was vaguely aware of the deep meaning in this arrow, so he was terrified and honored to accept it.

Li Zhao's arrows and arrow clusters are all made of gold. Gold is soft and difficult to pierce the prey's fur, and it is only used for rituals.

But Li Yan still used this arrow.

When the squire found the arrow, it was stuck in the neck of a dying deer.

Li Chengqi was satisfied with him, so she smiled and asked Li Yan's name.

The young man knelt down on the ground, and the voice of the God King on the high platform seemed to come from the nine heavens, which was so far away and indistinct, a height that he would never be able to reach in his whole life.

He was supposed to prostrate himself on the ground, but at that moment he raised his head and raised his voice to the emperor, "My name is Li Liu."

After he finished speaking, he felt his heart beating wildly, but he didn't lower his head.

Li Chengqi turned her head to Xie Mingyue and said with a smile: "This son's youthful spirit is nothing Xie Qing has."

Xie Mingyue nodded and said, "It's not as good as a minister."

The eunuch asked loudly, "Your Majesty, which Liu?"

Li Yan replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the jade of the jade essence."

The emperor sat on the high platform, glanced casually at the young man kneeling below, and murmured: "The brilliance of the colored glaze is flowing, but it is fragile and fragile. Your arrow skills are outstanding, and you are full of vigor. It is not appropriate to use such a name."

At that moment, Li Yan couldn't even hear his own heartbeat, his ears were rumbling, and the only thing he heard was the emperor's voice.

"You are a son of the clan, so you are also Gu's younger brother," Li Chengqi said with a smile: "The emperor's crown, 旒 is the bead on the crown, would you like to change the name of Liu to 旒, and be a jade bead on the solitary crown?"

At this moment, the young man finally kowtowed deeply, "I am willing."

As time passed, the young man who was kneeling under the high platform was now sitting in front of him, just like before.

Li Yan was silent for a moment, and answered seriously and honestly, "Your Majesty is indeed like the late emperor. I look forward to the late emperor. Suddenly, I seem to see my brother."

The little emperor nodded, and was not angry when he heard Li Yan telling the truth, but asked: "Because Gu is similar to the former emperor, so the prince will try his best to support Gu as emperor?"

He looked at him with dark eyes, and there were little smiles in it.

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Yes, and no."

Li Chengqi leaned slightly, as if wondering, "Why is it both and not?"

Li Yan smiled bitterly, and he asked, "Does your majesty know that Xie Hou killed the three emperors in one day?"

Li Chengqi had heard the rumors, but she didn't know the inside story at all. Since Li Yan was willing to say it, he was also willing to hear what happened after he died.

After all, Xie Mingyue has always been a liar, allowing him to order killings in person, regardless of his reputation, but there are too few times.

Besides, it was the prince who killed him.

With Xie Mingyue's actions, she has personally placed the reputation of being a traitor and traitor on her own body.

"Those three people were all descendants of the clan's family who were close to the late emperor's blood, and they were killed one by one within two months after the funeral ceremony with the late emperor." Li Yan seemed to have an unbearable look in his eyes. In order to be disrespectful to the late emperor, there was no sadness in the big ceremony, but an attitude of overjoyed." He recalled the way Xie Mingyue said this coldly that day, "How can such an unfaithful and unfilial person be worthy of inheriting the great rule? "

Li Chengqi nodded.

It was something Xie Mingyue could say.

Xie Mingyue has always paid attention to high-sounding murders, and is famous for his success.

"Since then, everyone in the clan has been terrified." Li Yan smiled even more bitterly. The documents for questioning and beheading are the same. However, the country cannot be ruled for a day, and the ministers and others will check the genealogy before they can meet His Majesty from Anzhou."

King Ping passed away early, leaving orphans and widows in the palace. King Ping's stepmother came from a humble background and had no powerful in-laws. Suddenly someone from Beijing invited his youngest son to be the emperor. How could he not be overjoyed?

Li Chengqi was speechless for a moment.

So one of the reasons why he was able to become emperor again was because Li Yin was not of a high family background, so he could not refuse the order of Prince Xuan, and Prince Ping's mansion was far away from Beijing for many years.

The situation in Beijing is so treacherous, it is better to say that he is here to die than to be the emperor.

"Your Majesty was one of the five candidates to be elected at the time. Your Majesty has a very beautiful complexion. The ministers saw that he was five points like the former emperor. Therefore," he stopped, "Your Majesty will know everything after that."

Li Chengqi rubbed her nose and didn't know what to say for a while, "I don't know whether I should thank you sir."

The gentleman in his mouth refers to Xie Mingyue, and his attitude is casual when talking about Xie Mingyue.

Casualness is not necessarily frivolous, and people who are close to each other talk about it casually.

Li Yan was silent.

The reason why Xie Mingyue killed those three people back then may only be known to him, but probably not because of such trivial matters as etiquette.

In Li Chengqi's view, etiquette is a major issue only when it is necessary to find someone wrong.

"Sir?" There was some surprise in Li Yan's tone, and he calmed down immediately, "Xie Hou Jin's voice is so beautiful, Yue Zhiyuan Ting, in terms of character and knowledge, as your Majesty's gentleman, no one in the court can compare Xie Hou is more suitable."

Li Chengqi's beautiful black eyes looked at Li Yan with a smile, waiting for Li Yan's next words.

"However, Xie Hou has a lot of opportunities, and he needs to teach His Majesty, so let's rest here. The ministers are very worried about Xie Hou's health." If Xie Mingyue was here, he would probably smile and say at this moment. As the minister said, the prince is really considerate , "Thinking about it, given the deep relationship between His Majesty and Xie Hou, maybe there are also such hidden worries?"

The little emperor smiled, "Mr.'s temperament of striving for perfection is more clear to the lord than Gu. If I can't persuade him, how about the lord?"

He asked sincerely.

Li Yan admitted generously, "I can't persuade Xie Hou." He changed the subject, "However, if the affairs are slightly reduced, Xie Hou will be able to relax a lot."

Li Chengqi tapped the center of her eyebrows with her fingers, "Oh?" The young emperor seemed to be really worried about Xie Mingyue's body, but he still said: "Although that is the case, I really don't want to part with you sir."

Reluctant.

Will Li Zhaohui say these three words to Xie Mingyue?

If it were Li Zhao, would he be willing to endure the courtiers' stealing?

If it was Li Zhao, would he face him without showing any clues?

Li Yan pursed his thin lips into a line.

Either the person in front of him was just Li Yin and the familiarity he felt was just wishful thinking, or Li Zhao didn't trust him at all.

For Li Yan, these two results are too difficult to bear.

"I have no intention of ordering Your Majesty to change the teacher," Li Yan heard himself saying, with a submissive attitude, "I just think that if His Majesty handles the government personally," he seemed a little surprised when he saw Li Chengqi raised his eyes, "With Your Majesty, with Xie Hou, Geng and Da Zhou are both good things."
