"Don't tell me, this is what you really think!"
Rong Changan captured everything about Yan Li's expression.
"You don't have to look at me like this, I'm just like this! If you think I'm hateful, you can pick up your sword, kill me here, and then throw it to the disaster victims. Say, this is the one who has no conscience." Empress, I killed her to vent my anger for you!"
Rong Changan seemed to have heard the clank of the sword in the scabbard.
"Hmph," Yan Li snorted coldly, "I won't kill you... but I will kill other people!"
"Who?" Rong Changan asked.
Yan Li's eyes seemed to be on fire, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"I want to investigate the corrupt officials in this state and county and bring them to justice!"
As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave.
The man standing in front of Rong Changan, with a wide robe and long sleeves, elegant and handsome, is the dream lover of many women! Such a man, how could she be willing to let him be trapped in a cocoon!
"Yan Li, wait!"
Although he hated Chang'an, when he heard her words, his footsteps stopped involuntarily, as if they had taken root.
"Why, what can I teach you?"
Yan Li's words were very alienated, and Rong Chang'an felt a little suffocated in his chest. In fact, she did these things not only for herself, but also for him! But he regarded her as an evil person!
Rong Chang'an stood up, brushed his white beige clothes, walked slowly, and came to Yan Li, looking at him with affectionate eyes.
"You can't punish those officials!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Li trembled slightly, and cast a cold glance at Rong Changan. Between her eyebrows, between the corners of her mouth, he couldn't see anything evil. Why is her heart so vicious? Actually shielding corrupt officials!
"Give me a reason..." Yan Li squeezed out these few words from between his teeth.
Rong Chang'an said: "Didn't I already tell you in Fengming Palace the day before?"
Yan Li remembered that Rong Changan said that Li Hai sent the two of them out on purpose to test their loyalty to the Li Dynasty. But being loyal is one thing, sympathizing with the victims and punishing corrupt officials is another.
"You said it, so what? What is the relationship between the two?"
Rong Chang'an smiled coldly, without her help, how could this man with such a superficial appearance but such a humble city mansion have captured Li Hai's world! Thinking that she would die because of him later, she couldn't help frowning.
The past and the past flooded into his mind, tears welled up in the corners of Rong Chang'an's eyes.
When Yan Li saw it, his eyes shone with a strange light, and he didn't know why Rong Chang'an was crying.
Rong Changan calmed down his emotions, waved his sleeves, and let Taohong walk out of the yard.
In the quiet courtyard, under the watery moonlight, there were only the two of them left.
"I want to ask you something..."
Yan Li felt that the current Rong Changan was a bit puzzling: "What are you talking about?"
"Do you want to take back the country that originally belonged to you, or continue to be the censor of the Li Dynasty? Like a dog, be ordered around by him? Even pay your life for it?"
Rong Changan's words are mysterious again and again.
Whenever his identity is exposed, Yan Li always has a sense of failure. How did Rong Changan know the identity of his former prince? Could she be a prophet
"About my identity, who have you told?"
Rong Changan saw tension, fear, and anger in Yan Li's eyes, and she expressed her contempt for Yan Li's behavior.
"Since you are the prince of the previous dynasty, you should show the aura of the prince of the previous dynasty, timidly, what kind of words!"
With a whoosh, Yan Li's face was only a short distance away from Rong Chang'an, and the sword in his hand let out a roar of dragons and tigers.
"Don't force me! Tell me, who have you mentioned to?"
In order to hide his identity as the crown prince, he has endured until today. If Rong Changan tells the truth, he will definitely die. In order to protect myself, sometimes I have to kill people I don't want to kill, including the person in my heart!
"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone." Rong Changan seemed to predict that Yan Li would not kill her, with a calm and relaxed expression on his face, staring at him with eyes like deep pools, "We are on the same rope now. Grasshopper, it won't do me any good if I expose your identity. We need to be in the same boat."
Yan Li was skeptical: "Up until now, I still don't know what you are for? Now that you are the lord of the six palaces, and you have the most elite troops in the country, the emperor should be afraid of you. I have a common cause with you." target?"
for what? For the shame of the past, for the three thousand soldiers who died! But these words cannot be said to Yan Li.
"I am the queen now, but many people in the palace are still threatening my status, so I must have a backer, and you are my backer."
The reason was a bit far-fetched, but he was willing to believe her.
"Follow what you just said!"
Rong Changan took a few steps and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Yan Li could see her profile, which was as beautiful as a moon.
"The reason why the emperor let us out is to test whether we have ambitions and whether we want him in our hearts. You have heard the saying that those who have made great achievements overshadow the master are in danger? If the emperor hears that you are doing everything possible to relieve the disaster and rescue the people outside , the people are grateful to you, and the mountain calls you a thousand years old, or even a long live, will the emperor be happy when he hears it?"
Yan Li was stunned: Why didn't he think of this! If the people only had Yan Li in their hearts, or only Empress Rong Changan, but no Emperor Li Hai, Li Hai would definitely have suspicions about the two of them, and life would be very difficult in the future. A companion is like a tiger, if he is not careful, Li Hai will find an excuse to kill them.
How could he not understand such a simple truth!
Just because he only has the people in his heart!
Now he understands why Rong Changan deliberately rode a tall horse past the victims today. The more people hate her, the safer she will be in the palace.
Rong Changan is too complicated, what exactly is her brain made of? How can you know so many things
She is terrible!
"Do you understand what I mean now?" Rong Changan said with his back to Yan Li.
Yan Li nodded: "Understood!"
Rong Changan looked back suddenly, looking at him expectantly: "Do you know what to do now? Do you still want to punish corrupt officials?"
This brings us back to the question that Rong Changan asked him before: Do we want to continue dormant and get back the country that belongs to us, or do we want to be a good official to help the victims and be suspected by the emperor
Yan Li frowned, his face showing a painful tangle.
"Tell me when you've figured it out."
Rong Chang'an's vermilion lips parted slightly, facing the outside of the small courtyard: "Tao Hong..."
"Don't think about it!"
Rong Changan turned his head and saw that Yan Li's gaze was so determined, and his chin was so resolute.
