"I want to visit the Prince Regent... Your Majesty, would you like to accompany me?" Su Li turned back to look at him, her eyes looking into his deep eyes.
"good."
Ever since Princess Mingyu fell into a lake during her wedding and died, incidents have happened one after another in the Prince Regent's Palace. Up to the Golden Palace, Concubine Jade committed suicide in public to apologize, causing a sensation in the capital. The palace's power in the court has been declining.
.
As soon as Su Li and Dongfang Ze entered the gate, they already felt that the once glorious Regent's Mansion was no longer prosperous, and there was a withered and desolate atmosphere everywhere, just like this bleak autumn, which made people feel chilly.
The huge courtyard was deathly silent, as quiet as if there was no one around.
Butler Liu carefully greeted the two of them all the way to the hall, and then went to invite Li Fengxian. A servant quickly served tea, as if he was afraid of neglecting the guests.
Nowadays, everyone in the government and the public knows that because of Yu Linglong's assassination of Princess Mingyu, there has been a rift between King Dongfang Zhuo of Jing'an and Li Fengxian. Some ministers in the court who previously supported Li Fengxian's faction seemed to be vaguely aware of some changes and no longer visited the government frequently.
Standing in the front hall, Su Li felt complicated and unspeakable in her heart. She thought that in the past, this palace was always full of welcomes and arrivals, and there were endless guests, but now, there were only herself and Dongfang Ze.
The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. But they are all villains who follow the trend and change their rudder when the wind blows.
Not long after, Li Fengxian slowly walked into the hall. Su Li almost couldn't recognize that person as the majestic regent who used to gallop on the battlefield! However, in just a few days, Li Fengxian looked much more haggard, his temples were gray and his eyes were dim, but he still held his back straight and tried his best to maintain his energy.
Su Li's throat suddenly choked up, and she couldn't say a single word of the words of comfort that had lingered in her heart for a long time.
When Li Feng first saw the two of them, he couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, the first person to see him was his long-time political enemy. But none of the people who were supposed to come to visit were seen, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it.
Dongfangze smiled and said: "I heard that the regent is in poor health. Is he feeling better now?"
Li Fengxian let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said with a bitter smile: "King Zhenning is interested, I'm much better now." He turned his eyes and saw Su Li beside him, with a face that was exactly the same as Li Su's, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart again.
"If I did anything wrong in the main hall that day, please forgive Princess Mingxi." Li Fengxian faced Su Li and bowed his hands.
Su Li was suddenly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, saying anxiously: "What is the prince trying to do? Su Li can't bear it."
. "Regardless of his official rank, age and status, Li Fengxian should not perform such a grand ceremony.
Li Fengxian's eyes dimmed and he said in a hoarse voice: "If Princess Mingxi hadn't worked so hard, Susu's matter... I'm afraid it would never be cleared up! Xijin would definitely die with his eyes open! How much shame would I have to face under this situation? See her?"
Hearing him mention Rong Xijin, Su Li couldn't help but feel twinges of pain in her heart. She didn't expect that her father had a deep love for her mother and concubine, and due to a combination of circumstances, they are now separated forever.
If the concubine gets a husband like this, she will have no regrets in this life!
After a while, she calmed down her turbulent emotions and said softly: "The prince treats the princess and the princess with sincerity. Her mother and daughter know each other well and will not have any complaints against you. At the moment, you should take care of yourself." It’s important.”
Li Fengxian was dejected, silent for a while, sighed and nodded.
Dongfang Zedao: "What the princess said is absolutely true. The regent is the pillar of the country. Only with good health can he continue to assist his father and fulfill his ambitions."
As soon as these words came out, Li Fengxian's face darkened, he couldn't help but sneered, and sighed: "I am old and now dragging my body with illness. I am afraid that in His Majesty's heart, I am no longer as good as those rising stars who are more worthy of the Holy Will." .”
Su Li's heart sank. His father's words clearly revealed his dissatisfaction. Could it be that he...had a premonition that the situation in the DPRK was about to change? In the past, my father had fought with the current emperor in battles all over the world and had made outstanding achievements. If we talk about who has the highest prestige among the officials in the court, only the regent Li Fengxian. She had also expected that because Li Su was assassinated by Yu Linglong, the royal family's face was completely ruined. Although the emperor would not do anything openly, his father's power in the court would definitely be implicated. That's why she was in a dilemma the night before the evidence to overturn the case was presented.
Although the situation was calm on the surface, there were turbulences secretly. Su Li intuitively told himself that the emperor must have a plan.
A figure flashed in my mind, Zhan Wuji! On that day, when I was moving, I met the hussar general at the city gate who had been ordered to return to Beijing. At that time, she felt a little strange. There had been no war in Sheng Kingdom in recent years, and Zhan Wuji had been stationed at the border all year round. If there were no major matters in the court, he would never return to Kyoto easily. Could it be...this is a sign of the emperor's next move.
She was thinking to herself when she heard Dongfangze say: "The words of the regent are wrong. In the past, the prince accompanied his father in the north and south, and made great contributions. He is extremely capable. When it comes to marching and fighting, and military strategies, looking at the Go, who in the court can compare with the prince?"
Li Fengxian was slightly startled and secretly glanced at Dongfang Ze.
. He has always tried his best to support Dongfang Zhuo in his fight for the crown prince's position, just because he was the daughter of the queen. In Li Fengxian's concept, he has always paid attention to the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, and only legitimate concubines are the ones who inherit the throne. Now it seems that Dongfangze, the concubine of Concubine Liang, is extremely intelligent, magnanimous, and the way he handles things is indeed far better than Dongfang Zhuo, and he is more majestic as the emperor.
In front of him was an extremely outstanding pair of beautiful women, standing side by side. He was in a daze, as if the people standing in front of him were no longer Su Li, but Li Su and Dongfang Ze. If he had been the husband chosen for Su Su, would he also be the one standing in front of him? Wouldn’t we end up in today’s desolate situation of losing a daughter and a wife
Thinking of his heartache, Li Fengxian swayed slightly and staggered back involuntarily.
Su Li and Dongfang Ze were shocked, and hurriedly supported him. Dongfang Ze immediately called his servants and sent Li Fengxian back to his room to rest. Li Fengxian knew that he had just recovered from his illness and was not in good physical strength, so he stopped being polite and said goodbye with a few words.
Looking at her father's tall back, slightly rickety, slowly disappearing outside the door, Su Li's eye sockets felt slightly hot, her father... was really old.
She has been cared for since she was a child, and now she has grown up. Facing the precarious and crisis-ridden Prince Regent's Palace, how could she sit idly by and ignore it? Sighing softly, Su Li suddenly realized that her hand was being held gently by Dongfang Ze. Su Li immediately came back to her senses, smiled at him, and said softly: "I want to see Miss Li."
Dongfangze nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked slowly towards the back garden in silence.
The back garden looked more deserted than the front yard. Dongfangze sighed: "The hozens scattered when the tree fell. The tree has not yet fallen, but the hozens have scattered completely. The current situation of the Regent's Palace is really regrettable." .”
Su Li sneered and said, "Human relationships are just that." There was a sudden movement in her heart. According to common sense, if the Regent's Palace loses power, the person who should be applauded the most is Dongfang Ze. But at the moment, he looks dejected, as if there is no limit to what he can do. With emotion, I really said this from the bottom of my heart.
Sensing Su Li's gaze, Dongfangze looked sideways and smiled: "What? Don't believe what I say? I have always admired the regent for his great talent, strategy, and extraordinary intelligence. The tiger father has no dog daughter, and even Li Su is among the women. It's a pity..."
"What a pity...she is no longer here?" Su Li smiled half-heartedly.
Dongfang Ze nodded solemnly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. He suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Of course, in my heart, you are the best."
. "
The warm breath brushed against the sensitive ear, Su Li's heart trembled, and a blush suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks. She tried to push him away, but failed.
He smiled and took her into his arms, and his thick coat wrapped the petite woman tightly. She rested her head on his warm chest, listening to the strong heartbeat, and hugged each other quietly, feeling a warm feeling in her heart. Slow flow. Basking in the warm autumn sunshine, enjoying a rare moment of silence.
The beauty in his arms had jet-black hair that exuded a faint fragrance. Dongfangze's eyes moved slightly, and he reached out to gently lift her chin. The soft and warm light shone on her jade-like skin, as if it was coated with a thin layer of golden light.
For some reason, since he was cured of the love flower poison, his concentration seemed to have deteriorated. Whenever he got close to her, it was difficult to control his desires. His desire for her seemed to have been integrated into his blood. Once the thought comes to mind, a strong impulse to possess will quickly arise.
Everything about her was so beautiful, as if she had a fatal and inescapable attraction, drawing him into the whirlpool of love.
Feeling his burning gaze, Su Li's thick and long eyelashes suddenly trembled, like a fluttering butterfly, quickly covering her clear, watery black eyes.
Her delicate red lips, exuding an intoxicating fragrance, seemed to be waiting for him to pick them up. She held her breath unconsciously, and Dongfang Ze slowly lowered his head...
Just at this moment.
"Cousin Ze?" The voice was full of surprise, like an oriole emerging from the valley, but it appeared at a very inappropriate time.
Dongfangze suddenly paused in his movements, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. He turned his head and was slightly startled, and said in surprise: "Yue'er?" He involuntarily relaxed his embrace, and the warmth suddenly left his body. Su Li's whole body felt cold, and his heart felt inexplicably. Something strange, cousin? I never heard him mention any other cousins. who is it
"Ah! I'm not dazzled, it's really you!" The owner of the voice could not hide his excitement and excitement, and ran towards the two of them. However, when he was approaching, one of them was not paying attention, and was caught by the long skirt of his skirt. He stumbled, exclaimed "Ah" and fell forward.
"Be careful!" Dongfang Ze's face changed slightly, and he quickly took a few steps forward. The other party was throwing himself into a warm and strong chest, and was hugged. He couldn't help frowning, and said with a cold face: "Such a big person, walking She stumbles around like a child. How can she look like a rich lady?"
The little girl called Yue'er raised a cute smile. Her eyebrows were delicate and charming. Her skin was as delicate as snow in a light purple shirt. Su Li's heart sank slightly. It turned out to be her.
!
Liang Ruyue, the daughter of Taiwei Liang Shichu.
"I'm so happy to see you! It's been so long and you haven't come to see me! Last time at the concubine selection banquet, you didn't have time to talk to me! Now you're blaming me! I'm disgusting!" Liang! Ru Yue pouted, hugged Dongfang Ze's waist and stamped her feet, looking like a coquettish little girl.
"I have a lot of things to do every day, how can I play with you like I did when I was a kid?"
"Humph, I won't argue with you, you have the most control! I have been unable to argue with you since I was a child!"
Dongfangze said calmly: "Why did you come to the Regent's Palace today?"
"I came to see Miss Li Yao. Her mother died and so many things happened at home. She cried like a tear all day long. It made people feel so sad. I saw her alone and came here occasionally. Sit down in the palace and chat with her!" Liang Ruyue opened her watery eyes and answered truthfully.
Now at the cusp of the storm, the ministers of the court were avoiding the regent's palace like a snake or a scorpion, for fear of harming themselves, but Liang Ruyue didn't care at all. Dongfangze sighed slightly in his heart, this girl is still so simple and straightforward in her thoughts, and she doesn't know how to avoid taboos at all.
"Ah, Princess Mingxi!" Liang Ruyue said in surprise, as if she had just seen Su Li next to Dongfang Ze.
Su Li stood aside and nodded slightly, but did not speak. All the intimate actions of the two fell into their eyes. Her expression was as usual, but her heart suddenly became confused.
Since I met him, I have never seen him so close to any woman except myself. Dongfang Ze's gesture of no rejection and slightly doting words also revealed the extraordinary relationship between the two.
Her heart suddenly moved, Liang Guifei, Liang Shichu, Liang Ruyue... I'm afraid there is a mystery that she doesn't know about.
Liang Ruyue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, took out of Dongfangze's arms, and said apologetically: "Yue'er got carried away for a moment and didn't greet the princess in time. It's really rude." Although her thoughts were straightforward, she also understood very well. Today, Su Li has risen from the concubine of the prime minister's palace when they first met to become a first-class criminal chief minister. Her status has already changed from what it used to be, and she must be treated with innumerable courtesy.
"Miss Liang, you're welcome." Su Li smiled faintly, "How can Su Li be arrogant in front of the prince?" Although Liang Ruyue's words were an apology, her attitude was very casual.
.
Dongfangze stretched out his hand to pull her over and said with a smile: "Su Su may not know yet, but Liang Ruyue, the daughter of Taiwei's mansion, is my cousin. Taiwei Liang is distantly related to my mother and concubine. You can just call her Yue'er. Go to After all, we are all a family, so we don’t need to be exposed too much.”
Su Li didn't answer and frowned secretly, a family? He really doesn't see anyone outside, and he hasn't married yet, so where can he be a family
Liang Ruyue looked at Su Li and smiled shyly, fluttering her long eyelashes, and asked curiously: "Are you here to see Miss Li?"
"Yes." Dongfang Ze nodded.
"That's a coincidence. We happened to go see Miss Li together." The unexpected meeting made Liang Ruyue happy from the bottom of her heart. She hugged his arm tightly, her big watery eyes full of attachment to Dongfang Ze.
Su Li turned her head away unnaturally, feeling a little awkward in her heart, as if she was the redundant person now.
Liang Ruyue shouted repeatedly: "Let's go, let's go see Miss Li, and then go to the night market together! I heard that there is a girl who is very good at dancing in Tianxiang Tower!" After that, she grabbed Dongfang Ze's sleeve. Just go forward.
Dongfangze frowned slightly, paused for a moment but still moved helplessly.
When the three of them walked into Yaochi Garden, Li Yao was sitting in the garden in a daze. When she saw the figures of Su Li and Liang Ruyue, she was stunned. It took a long time to wake up and quickly stood up to greet them.
"Li Yao has met Prince Zhenning, Princess Mingxi, and Miss Liang." She looked much thinner, with a touch of sadness between her brows, and her dark eyes made her skin look paler and more transparent, making her even more delicate. Pitiful.
Liang Ruyue couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She had been here several times. Although Li Yao's condition had improved, she was getting thinner day by day. Also, she suffered such a big blow one after another, even a tough man could bear it. Can't stop! Not to mention such a delicate and beautiful lady
"Oh, you're not well yet. You'd better sit down and rest. We're not outsiders here, so don't bow." Seeing her weak body shaking and still a little unsteady, Liang Ruyue hurriedly stepped forward to help her. sit down.
Again, they are not considered outsiders. This didn't sound like much, but Su Li felt it was inexplicably harsh.
Li Yao sighed softly and said apologetically: "Li Yao has behaved inappropriately. Please forgive me, Prince and Sister Su... Princess." The address she deliberately avoided was like a sharp thorn, which made Su Li feel a pain in his heart.
.
No matter how deep the relationship is, once there is a crack, it can never be repaired.
Dongfang Ze said: "Your health is important, Miss Li doesn't need to be polite." At this time, a maid was serving tea, and everyone sat down one after another. Liang Ruyue greeted Li Yao with concern, while Su Li just listened quietly.
After a while, the little girl, whose mind was not here, turned around and pulled Dongfangze to chat.
Li Yao sat next to Su Li, her body stiff, as if she looked gloomy and didn't want to talk.
Su Li's thoughts were spinning, but she finally said calmly: "Since the matter is over, Yao'er doesn't need to think about it anymore. Take care of yourself. The prince still needs you to take care of him."
As soon as he heard her calling him Yao'er, Li Yao's indifferent expression fluctuated for a moment, but was suppressed by the pain that followed. He said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Now there are only two people left in the mansion, my father and I. Yao'er should serve you wholeheartedly. But... things have changed and people have changed. My father has been heartbroken. These wounds are not lasting for just one or two days." It can be healed."
Her eyes were slightly red, and she was obviously very sad. These words were spoken of the Prince Regent, but actually they were also spoken of herself. It is obviously impossible for her to be able to let go of the pain of losing her mother.
Everyone was silent for a while. What Yu Linglong did was indeed outrageous. Just because of a jealous heart, she could set up such a vicious plan and harm innocent people. No wonder Li Fengxian couldn't accept it for a while.
"Sister Li Yao, don't worry too much. Now that the prince has only you as a relative, how could he abandon you? I'm afraid it's just a temporary sadness. When this matter slowly subsides, you can relax and everything will be fine." Seeing Li Yao crying silently, Liang Ruyue couldn't help but come to comfort her again.
Li Yao glanced at her and suppressed a bleak smile, which made Su Li's heart sting unconsciously.
Seeing that she was confused, Liang Ruyue had an idea and told Li Yao some of the prepared jokes. Perhaps she was too worried, so Li Yao always maintained a pitiful smile and did not say much.
The weather turned cold, and the warm tea quickly became cold. The maid immediately withdrew and replaced the master with new tea one by one. Liang Ruyue was talking happily to herself, but accidentally knocked over the tea bowl that the maid beside her was holding, and all the hot tea poured on Su Li's hand beside her!
