"Your Majesty," Rou Fei hurriedly got up, and hurriedly came to Li Ming, reaching out to hold Li Ming's hand, "I was wrong, Saburo, I was thinking about it, but I also wanted to do it for Cheng Er, for fear of offending. Too many people, I was set up by Li Rong, I..."

"You dare to say it!" Li Ming opened her up and sat up, "You are not greedy, Rong'er can set you up?! You have a short-sighted background and a humble maidservant. If you have Shangguan Yue, you are a little calm. , The crown prince has long belonged to Cheng'er! I put you in the harem for so long and supported you for so long, have you caught Shangguanyue not at all wrong?"

Li Ming wanted to get more and more angry. He got up and took something from the side and smashed it in his head: "I will hand over to you the Supervisory Division, and I will do my best for you and Cheng'er. You bastard, you did a shit. thing!"

The fold smashed on Roufei like a cup. Roufei knelt on the ground and knocked her head desperately. When Li Ming finished smashing, Li Ming staggered back. Fulai hurriedly supported him, Li Ming panted gently, watching Kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, Li Ming finally stopped, Fulai helped him and whispered: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important."

Li Ming didn't have the energy to speak any more. He finished the fire and calmed down a little bit. Concubine Roux lay on the ground and sobbed lowly. Li Ming looked at her quietly. After a long time, he waved his hand: "Fine, go on."

"Your Majesty," Consort Rou raised her head in surprise when she heard this. Li Ming stood in front of her, looking at her quietly, his eyes were compassionate, disappointed, and so unspeakable pain and sorrow, Rou Fei suddenly realized something, she hurriedly knelt forward and stretched out her hand to pull Li Ming's clothes lay, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will listen to you in the future. I will change it. You save me. I still have use." Roufei said, tears hurriedly falling, "Your Majesty, I am Cheng'er. Mother..."

"Pull it down!"

Li Ming yelled loudly, and the attendant next to her rushed over to pull Concubine Rou. Rou Concubine dragged him tightly, and the attendant pulled her out forcibly. She struggled and rushed back halfway.

She exhausted all her strength, all her clothes were torn, and her hairpin fell to the ground. She cried and put on makeup, and her face was full of tears. The whole figure looked like a fox dog that was pressed on the ground with a knife and fork. Struggling hard for a bit of life.

Li Mingjing quietly watched the woman who rushed to her desperately, watched her clinging to her clothes, and then being forcibly dragged out. She screamed and buckled her fingers on his gold embroidered dragon vamp. , Her nails that were dyed in Dancome were broken, and she cried bitterly: "Your Highness..."

This distant address made Li Ming feel in a trance for a moment, as if he was returning to the time when he was a prince in the cold palace many years ago.

He could not help but uttered: "Stop."

Hearing this command, everyone stopped their movements, and the concubine Roufei looked up with excitement, "Your Majesty, I know you won't leave me alone. Your Majesty..."

Li Ming didn't speak, he squatted down and looked at the woman in front of him quietly.

Actually she is old.

She is no longer in her youth, and her beauty has long lost her vitality. Her eyes have long been filled with desire, as ugly as the entire court.

But this kind of ugliness, this kind of unrecognizable, only made him feel pitiful.

As pitiful as him.

He quietly stared at Concubine Rou, slowly raised his hand and placed it on Concubine Rou's face.

"San Lang," Rou Fei hurriedly raised her hand and held Li Ming's hand, tears streaming down her eyes, full of expectation, "I only have you, only you."

"But except myself," Li Ming said softly, "There is nothing left."

"Arou," Li Ming said with a low voice, "I can't care about you, don't worry," Li Ming's eyes were soft, "Cheng'er will be fine, you go."

Concubine Roux looked at Li Ming blankly: "Can't control me?"

Concubine Roum murmured, Li Ming's face was bitter: "So many people have joined hands to want you to die, and you have so many handles. You have no foundation in the court. The family ignores you and the cold people do not protect you. The world will verbally criticize you, and I cannot protect you."

"You go back and wait until the right time," Li Ming pressed his forehead against Concubine Rou's forehead, "leave a confession letter saying that the prince framed you, and you prove your innocence by death. When you die, the case will stop. In this way, Cheng'er's reputation will not be damaged."

"His Majesty?"

Consort Rou looked at Li Ming in disbelief, her voice trembling.

Li Ming showed pity: "Don't blame me, I can't help it."

"Nothing!"

Concubine Rou seemed to be finally unable to bear it, and shouted: "You are weak and incompetent, and even a woman can't protect it!"

"Xiao Rou!"

Li Ming lowered his voice and gave a few warnings.

Seeing the two quarreling, Fu Lai hurriedly asked everyone to follow him out, leaving Fei Rou and Li Ming in the hall.

Roufei laughed: "Isn't it? You are the emperor, you want to protect me, why can't you protect me? In the final analysis, it is just those people you are afraid of! You know that the queen mother is from Shangguan family, you know that your wife is People from Shangguan’s family, you know that they belong to them all up and down in the palace. They want to abolish you, and you can’t stand if they want you to climb..."

With a "pop" slap, Rou Fei was slapped to the ground before she finished her words.

Li Ming raised his finger at her, his eyes cracking: "I think I spared you because of Cheng'er's face, so you don't want to talk nonsense anymore."

"Am I talking nonsense?" Rou Fei sat on the ground and laughed, "Am I wrong? I just poke your sore spot."

Concubine Rou covered her face, turned her head to look at him, her eyes were full of sarcasm: "You forgive me, what can you do to me? It's death after all. Since you can't protect me, I will lose my life and I am afraid of you. ?"

"Believe it or not, this will destroy your son!"

"Then you renounce!" Rou Fei suddenly raised, "Are you a fool?! Are you Li Cheng'er really because he loves him? You just want to use him to contain the prince. Once you remove the Shangguan, If there is another prince in the harem, does Chenger still have a foothold?!"

"Do you think I don't know the women in your Linxing Palace, and you deliberately found a way to give birth to more sons? You think I don't know that in your heart you always feel that I was born humble and Cheng'er is unbearable? You? Think I don’t know, I’m nothing in your heart, I’m just an excuse you use to suppress the family, whether it’s Shangguanyue, or your mother’s queen, the whole court, up and down, feel that you love me and faint. But have you really loved me?"

Before Li Ming could speak, Rou Fei smiled and said, "You haven't."

"In your heart, whether I am or Cheng'er is just a means. If you want me to die today, do you think I will still be afraid of you?"

"Cheng'er is your only choice," Rou Fei smiled a little crazy, "If you want Li's to get rid of the suppression of Shangguan family, Li Ming, Cheng'er is your only choice."

"What do you mean?"

Li Ming's face instantly became cold, and Rou Fei's face smiled softly: "Your Majesty, you will never have any more sons."

Hearing this, Li Ming widened his eyes, and Concubine Roux approached him with a very soft voice: "After so many years of fighting Cong Cheng'er, you have never had a child again," Rou Fei's eyes were gentle, "You never thought about why. ?"

"Xiao Rou," Li Ming couldn't believe it, "what did you do?"

Xiao Rou did not speak. The smile in her eyes brought a long-planned madness. This silence confirmed Li Ming's conjecture. He furiously stood up and pinched Xiao Rou's neck. Pressing Xiao Rou's whole person on the ground, he clenched her neck tightly and yelled: "I want to kill you! I want to kill you bitch!"

Xiao Rou was choked by Li Ming, but she laughed out loud. Her laughter echoed in the room. It was she who was dying and the weaker, but Li Ming had the illusion that her position was reversed.

She deceived him, she hated him, she used him for so many years.

Li Ming watched as the laughter of the woman in front of him turned into a difficult call for help, watched her face turn red, watched her stretch out her hand to grab him, and lost her vitality under his hand.

I don't know why. At that moment, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw Xiao Rou when he was young in Lenggong.

She knelt on the ground, raised her head timidly, and whispered to him: "Your Highness."

He suddenly lost his strength.

After a while, Xiao Rou pushed him abruptly, and then lay on the ground, coughing violently.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Rou supported herself and stood up smiling.

She clutched her neck and said with a smile: "Why, you can't get your hands, or can't you kill me?"

"Li Ming, do you know why you are so useless in your life?"

"If you want to say ruthless, you are not ruthless enough." Xiao Rou's voice is hoarse, "if you want to say good, you are not kind enough. As a monarch, you are not kind, as a son you are not filial, as a father you are ruthless, as a husband you are unjust."

"You are obviously selfish, and you have a bit of conscience in your life. The heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner than the paper. You are a wasteful, Shangguan can also protect you from worry for the rest of your life. But you are partial and unwilling to toss for half your life. What are you tossing about?"

"You've been ridiculous and sad all your life. You have been tortured for a lifetime, and everyone betrayed their relatives, and found nothing, Li Ming," Xiao Rou smiled and turned around, full of sarcasm, "You are alone and die alone."

With that, Xiao Rou walked out of the hall.

Li Mingjing sat quietly on the high seat. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Beiyan Pagoda in the distance.

The wind chimes of the North Yan Pagoda jingled in the wind. He watched it for a long time, and finally recovered. Fu Lai walked in cautiously and saw a mess in the room. He bent down and picked up the folds on the ground. He came to Li Ming and whispered: "Your Majesty, Concubine Roux has been escorted to the execution department. Are you okay?"

Li Ming didn't speak, he lowered his head, and Fulai couldn't help but call out again: "Your Majesty?"

"Call in Xiao Wen," Li Ming raised his head and said tiredly, "I have something to tell him."

Xiao Wen is Rou Fei's nephew, Fulai paused and said respectfully: "Yes."

After Fulai responded, he couldn't help but look at Li Ming a few more times: "Your Majesty, you...but you are not feeling well? Should you declare a doctor?"

Li Ming heard him and looked up at him. Fulai was looked at by Li Ming, and his palms could not help but sweat. Li Ming looked at him for a long time and suddenly said: "When I saw you for the first time, were you? Eleven years old?"

Fulai sighed in secret, and replied respectfully: "The slave is ten years old."

"You are old." Li Ming laughed, and Fulai also laughed, "After all, it has been almost forty years."

"Fu Lai," Li Ming turned his head and looked at the Beiyan Pagoda in the distance, "If people can't grow up, it will be fine."

Fulai did not speak, and Li Ming's voice was very slow: "When I built the North Yan Pagoda, I was really happy."

At that time, he had just married Shangguanyue. He still didn't know what the family restraint was, what was the balance of the court, and what was the emperor's mind.

But forty years is too long.

Long enough for a weak girl to turn into a traitorous concubine, a bright lady into a cold and conservative queen, and a gentle prince into a weak and sad emperor.

He felt that time was like a knife. When he turned around, he couldn't recognize who was who.

Xiao Rou walked out of the hall and couldn't hold it anymore.

Her feet softened in an instant, and the maid next to her helped her and said anxiously: "Manny."

The guard stepped forward and respectfully said: "Lady Roufei, please."

Xiao Rou managed to support herself, nodded, and the maid helped her onto the carriage.

After all, she is still the mother of King Su and Hua Le, even if she is in trouble now, the Yu Wei is still there, and the guards dare not be too embarrassed.

When she arrived at the Criminal Ministry, it didn't take long before she heard hurried footsteps outside.

Xiao Rou raised her head and saw Hua Le walking over with the Xiao family members.

"Mother." When Hua Le saw Xiao Rou, her eyes reddened, Xiao Rou calmed down, and finally calmed down. She glanced at the people who came and saw that Cui Yulang was there. She paused, and then said quietly: " Go down, I'll talk to Hua Le."

Cui Yulang respectfully went down, Xiao Rou hurriedly stretched out Hua Le's hand, and said anxiously: "Are you okay? Does this matter you?"

Hua Lehong shook his head with his eyes and said, "Not yet, but I'm still in the courtroom today. I heard that you had an accident. I immediately went to find Uncle Third and looked around for people. I just came to see you now."

"Where is Cheng'er?" Xiao Rou hurriedly asked, Hua Le rarely became reliable. "My brother is okay, now in the house, mother, what should I do now?"

"Listen to me," Xiao Rou took out a token from her sleeve and handed it to Hua Le. "We have been calculated this time. Now you can't believe anyone except our Xiao family. You can't use that Cui Yulang. Don’t believe him, Su Rongqing. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it. I will give you this token."

Xiao Rou put the token in Hua Le's hands: "Cheng'er will give it to you."

"Mother!" Hua Le grabbed Xiao Rou's hand, "What should I do, tell me, what can I do to save you?"

Hua Le said, tears flowed down: "Can I marry someone? I find a powerful man to marry, I..."

"Hua Le!"

Xiao Rou shouted in a low voice. She held Hua Le's hand and took a deep breath: "Remember, don't rely on anyone at this time. Your Majesty is already dead. He can't hold it for long. You just have to do it now. Thing."

"You say."

Hua Le hurriedly said, Xiao Rou raised her hand and pulled Hua Le's hair behind her ears: "Kill Li Chuan."

Hua Le opened her eyes suddenly, and Xiao Rou's eyes were cold: "It's best to kill Li Rong. Once Li Chuan is dead, only Cheng'er is the prince. Then you will put all the responsibility on me. You are still a princess, your father. The emperor will protect you, after Cheng Er ascended the throne, you will be the princess."

Hua Le's hand holding token trembled slightly, Xiao Rou raised her hand to hold her hand, and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, Hua Le, you are my daughter, you can't lose to Shangguanyue's daughter. She can calculate. We, you have to calculate her."

"mother……"

"Only in this way," Xiao Rou said in a low voice, "you and I have a chance to survive. As long as we survive, we will win. At that time, you can trample Li Chuan and Li Rong under your feet and crush them. Wan Duan."

"There is nothing to be afraid of." Xiao Rou stared at Hua Le, "We are all a fate, what are you afraid of?"

Hua Le slowly calmed down listening to Xiao Rou's words.

She raised her eyes to Xiao Rou, looking for the belief and strength to support her from Xiao Rou's calm eyes.

Her mother was born in the cold race. She may be stupid and greedy, but she has always been like weeds, struggling to grow recklessly in this palace.

Hua Le took a deep breath and nodded, trying to calm himself down: "I understand."

Xiao Rou stared at Hua Le quietly. After a long time, she shook Hua Le's hand: "Go, mother and wait for you."

Hua Le's tears fell on Xiao Rou's hands, she staggered to stand up, tried to calm herself down, and walked out.

It was a bit cold that night, Li Rong put on clothes in the princess's mansion, re-examining the recent information from the Supervisory Department.

Shangguanya stood aside and explained briefly to Li Rong: "The officials who had problems before Shangguan's family have already been dealt with. This time Roufei couldn't catch the handle. The evidence was almost all false and the confessions were all forced out."

"So bold?"

Li Rong looked at the pages of written confessions, Shangguanya chuckles: "Concubine Rou does not have much experience in doing things in court. The harem is the place to look at your majesty’s face to eat, but the court is not. She thought it was a supervisor. Si is the same as when she ruled the harem. These confessions are flawed, and you can revise the case at any time, but how does your Highness plan?"

"Let's drag it first," Li Rong's voice was flat, "The Concubine Rou is too easy, and people like Wang Houmin will inevitably feel that their price is too high. People like Wang Houwen should be damned, so they should bring more belts in jail and wait for a drag. Half dead, let it out again."

When the two were talking, they heard the sound of footsteps outside. Li Rong and Shangguanya looked up together and watched Pei Wenxuan stepping forward. He glanced at Li Rong, walked forward, and lowered his head on Li Rong’s ears. Bian, whispered: "Your Majesty summoned Concubine Rou's nephew Xiao Wen into the palace. After Xiao Wen left, someone would leave Huajing."

Li Rong's eyes were cold, and she raised her eyes to Pei Wenxuan.

Pei Wenxuan understood Li Rong's meaning, and he nodded.

"Your Majesty can't help it."
