Chang Anqing

Under Li Sui's instruction, Jiu Ge's "report" before his death naturally spread throughout the court. Although there was no evidence, people gradually believed it after thinking about it. After all, the emperor's family was ruthless. For the sake of the supreme position, there are many stories of killing fathers and sons, and brothers killing each other.But if this is the case, when this matter falls into the eyes of the Qingliu veterans headed by the prince and Taifu Lu Zhou, it is undoubtedly disregarding ethics and the laws of nature. Therefore, the veterans were so angry that they all jointly wrote a letter to Yang Chongyuan. Following the old system of the previous dynasty, the princes were required to go to the fief and not stay in Gyeonggi for a long time.

On this day, Li Sui and Baoying came out of Empress Li's Lizheng Hall, and they blurted out, "How is Erlang doing now?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying's eyes became slightly complicated, and when Li Sui was surprised, she heard her reply: "Now the residual poison in the body has been cleaned up, and the complexion is much better. No matter how well you rest and recuperate for a few days, you will recover—"

Li Sui couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but saw that Baoying's expression was still not very good: "Since it's healed, why are you still so preoccupied?"

Baoying looked sideways at Li Sui, paused, and then said in a low voice: "It's just that Erlang feels guilty about Jiu Ge, and has been slumped in his heart. These days are not as good as before. Said that he should not work hard in the future, otherwise he might hurt his body, but now even A Niang can't comfort him—"

Hearing Baoying's words, Li Sui now understood that Yang Yanren was kind, Jiu Ge's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and now he might take all the responsibility on himself.And another reason is that Yang Che and Yang Zhao, brothers and sisters who have grown up since they were young, actually want their own lives for the sake of the crown prince. This is probably a cruel reality that he doesn't even want to think about. .

"Go and see him."

Hearing what Li Sui said, Baoying nodded happily, and the two went to the East Palace together.

As soon as you enter the inner hall, if there is a seemingly nonexistent medicinal fragrance carrying the fragrance of flowers refreshing your heart, you can see Yang Yan sitting under the window wearing a thin shirt in the quiet hall. Although he holds a book in his hand, his eyes are staring at him Book in a daze.

Li Sui and Baoying looked at each other silently, and Yang Yan didn't come back to his senses until he walked up to him. When he got closer, Li Sui saw a dried hibiscus flower in the scroll in Yang Yan's hand Suddenly, Li Sui remembered that after her marriage with Yang Yan was abandoned, Yang Yan fell seriously ill, and it was like this that she and Baoying came together, seeing Yang Yan as a hibiscus falling with the wind. .

"Erro."

Hearing Li Sui's soft reminder, Yang Yan's hands trembled slightly, and when he raised his head to meet Li Sui's gaze, he managed to raise a smile on his lips, but said in a soft and ethereal tone, "You're here."

"Fang came from my aunt and came to see you."

Seeing Yang Yan's smile, which was uglier than crying, Li Sui didn't poke it, but sat down naturally and said, "I haven't played chess with you for a long time, why don't we talk about two games?"

Seeing Li Sui's interest, Yang Yan naturally agreed, and in a blink of an eye, the two confronted each other on the chessboard accompanied by Baoying.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon after playing a few games of chess. Looking at the clear chess board, Yang Yan said helplessly with a smile: "Your chess moves are as decisive as your temper. It seems that I missed a move after all."

Seeing that Yang Yan conceded defeat again, Li Sui threw back the chess piece in his hand, only to realize that Baoying had left with someone at some point.

"It's not that you can't beat me today, it's just that your heart is not here."

Watching Li Sui lower his head and pick up the chess pieces one by one, making a slight sound, Yang Yan became more silent, his lips moved but he couldn't say anything.

"sorry."

After a long time, when he heard Yang Yan say these two words, Li Sui paused in his hands, but when he looked up, he saw Yang Yan avoiding his gaze, and his expression was more guilty.

"You didn't apologize to me."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Yang Yan lowered his eyes.

That's right, Ah Man and him have only a brother-sister relationship and friendship with him from the beginning to the end. In the past, it was just his wishful thinking and he was obsessed with it, but he never wanted to hurt Jiu Ge.

"You're right, I'm sorry, it should be Jiu Ge."

"Also, Baoying."

Hearing the depression in Yang Yan's words, Li Sui finally stopped his movements, looked up at him and said, "There is no right or wrong when it comes to feelings, why do you have to take everything into your own hands—"

"If it wasn't for me that day—"

"Erlang, do you know where you went wrong?"

Before Yang Yan could finish speaking, Li Sui interrupted him. Seeing him looking at him unexpectedly, Li Sui couldn't help but frowned and sighed, and then said: "Your fault is that you don't defend yourself. Your fault is that you trust others too easily. On the day Jiuge was punished by your aunt, did you know that someone gave you a love potion in your Langao Courtyard? Did you know that someone used the incident of Baoying to provoke you to argue with your uncle and intercede for the Chen royal family, which angered the emperor? Do you know that others are using the sky to attack you and try to shake your position as the crown prince?"

Looking at Yang Yan who was approaching, his expression gradually changed with his words. In the endless silence, Yang Yan's face was paler than ever before. His lips parted and closed, and it took a long time to make a sound, but he trembled uncontrollably.

"You mean, there's been people trying to kill me all along—"

Seeing Li Sui's serious expression, Yang Yan's shoulders gradually dropped. At this moment, he knew what kind of crisis he had lived in, and he was like a trapped animal in a cage, who was designed to be deceived but didn't know it.

"who is it?"

Yang Yan tried hard to get Li Sui to respond to him, but when he met Li Sui's self-evident gaze, he couldn't understand.

"Erlang, from the moment you were born in the Yang family as the eldest son, you were doomed to endless disputes, which cannot be avoided. In this world, it is not just that you treat others leniently and get equal responses from others. In the position of the crown prince, one should know that this position seems to be noble, with one person under ten thousand, but it is always under the covetousness of others. More people will die in the endless conspiracy battles like Jiuge."

Looking at Yang Yan's pale face, although Li Sui knew everything was cruel, it was time for him to speak out. Now that the battle for the heir apparent has intensified, Yang Chongyuan's mind was unclear, and he never sided with the East Palace for a moment. , if Yang Yan is not awakened, she is afraid that the past will reappear.

"Why did this happen, why did we end up like this—"

Yang Yan murmured a laugh, but it was full of bitterness and pain: "I never wanted this seat, I just want my family to be safe and sound, brothers and sisters are as close as ever, as long as this is enough——"

"Jiro!"

Yang Yan's words were interrupted by Li Sui's serious words, and when he looked up, he saw Li Sui's urgency: "Are you still deceiving yourself? The waste who fell from the position of the East Palace in the history books Don’t you know the ending of the crown prince? Do you want Baoying and her mother clan, as well as the entire Li family and Zhao Yi to die for you without a place to die?”

As soon as these words came out, it was almost deafening, and Yang Yan was completely stunned there, unable to speak again.

"Now you have already been tightly bound together with the Li family, Zhao Yi, and even the prince and the prince. Everyone is prosperous and everyone is hurt. There has never been peace in the dispute between the princes. They will not let you go, so they will not let you go." You will let us go, if you want to be worthy of everyone and never let the tragedy of Jiuge repeat, you should sit firmly in this seat until the end."

Speaking of this, Li Sui stood up and looked at Yang Yandao: "Erlang, you know, what I said today is not shocking. In the past, my aunt, me, and the entire Li family could deal with everything for you, but I couldn't deal with it for you forever. After all, the responsibility is on your shoulders, you should be responsible for them, right?"

After finishing speaking, Li Sui got up and walked out of the hall, leaving Yang Yan sitting quietly on the spot alone.

When he came out and saw Baoying with a worried face, Li Sui only patted her hand to comfort her: "I've said everything I need to say, I hope he can understand."

After leaving the hall, Li Sui looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the corridor, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.

From the beginning to the end, she was very clear that Yang Yan was not a qualified emperor.

However, the general trend of the world is in the Yang family, and Yang Chongyuan's power and prestige cannot be ignored. She had no choice in the past, and she could not drag the entire Li family and Zhao Yi to compete with Yang Chongyuan for her own selfishness, so when the Yang family is in charge of the world, At that moment, she knew that only the benevolent Yang Yan came to power to save the Li family and Zhao Yi.

Although Yang Che has the blood of the Li family, he has inherited Yang Chongyuan's ruthlessness and suspicion. If he is in power, he has nothing to abandon for the sake of power.

And Yang Zhao is even more secretive and cunning. If he comes to power, the Li family will be doomed.

Only Yang Yan, who is in power, will give the Li family all the trust, and most importantly, only she knows that she never forgot the death of sister-in-law, and never forgot her oath.

Compared with supporting anyone, it is better to support Yang Yan, which is more beneficial to his control of power in the future.

And when that time comes, even if she keeps Yang Yan and Baoying away from disputes, she will definitely keep them safe and smooth for the rest of their lives.
