The next morning, the imperial edict was passed to Liluoyuan.
The eunuchs announced the imperial edict to read out: “In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that the seventh prince was particularly filial and kind-hearted, and specially appointed the seventh prince Gu Qingchen as King Xiao. After he became an adult, he went to the fiefdom to serve the country. In addition, the seventh prince was given to move to Xuanyang Hall to serve the people and the others.”
Qingchen kowtowed heavily, answered the order, and a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xuanyang Hall was the closest room to the Yangxin Hall where the emperor lived.
Yan Zhi was disappointed, and had no choice but to bow his head and shouted long live.
Yan Zhi looked at the imperial edict with golden light in Qingchen’s hand, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
I seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the state I had originally expected, and the road had begun to go astray. Yanzhi, who liked to have everything firmly grasped in his hands, was already much worse by Qingchen.
Yan Zhi thought about his current life. He didn’t like the feeling of emotions following others. He is getting more and more confused now and doesn’t know what to do.
Leave Qingchen and find a way to escape from the deep palace and fly away from now on? Then the sea is wide and the birds can swim, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and life is so happy and comfortable.
But since I had agreed to Qingchen to share weal and woe with him and protect him, and have been together in the cold mountains for three years, many feelings have long been born. These feelings are like tough silks in lotus roots, cut off and still implicate, and are like messes, which are endless, and still chaotic. How could he bear this? How to act decisively?
Alas, Yan Zhi sighed deeply, his expression was sad and confused.
Qingchen respectfully held the imperial edict, and after the eunuchs and their group left, they walked hard towards Yanzhi, who was out of the divine world.
Yanzhi raised his head and looked at him with a doubtful expression.
Qingchen pretended to be hesitant, and finally made up his mind to say: “Yanzhi, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no chance to change it. I want to stay in the palace again, and I am tired every day to deal with these jackals, tigers and leopards, like walking on thin ice, and every step of the heart.”
“But” Qingchen said here, with a look of pain and his eyes were already a little congested, but he still said stubbornly: “But Yanzhi is different. I know, Yanzhi, you have a great world in your heart, very strategy and means,
He is also low-key and does not show his sharpness. If you think, you have already climbed to the position of the chief prison for so many years in the palace, right? It means that your ambition is not limited to this cage-like deep palace. I know that you are in the world and yearn for freedom.”
“But, you have had many opportunities to realize your thoughts, but you have repeatedly forced yourself to change your thoughts for me, give up your freedom for me, accompany me to endure hardships, and walk with me through risks and difficulties. Now you have finally endured those three years and can stay away from the imperial city, but you are forced to stay here. The old things happen again, and I have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight, otherwise I can only choose to do it.At the slaughter of others. ”
“But. “Qingchen’s emotions are already very fluctuating, and his voice is fragile. But Yanzhi, you are different. You don’t have to accompany me anymore. I was stubborn and ignorant back then and I must force you to pull you into the water. Now… now I understand a lot of truths and understand a lot of things. I can deal with these alone. I can no longer implicate you and drag you to realize your dreams. If you want to leave, I will ask the Interior Office for an edict to send you out of the palace, leave here openly and live the life you want. “
“And I…” Qingchen reluctantly pulled out a bright smile, “I can do it alone, don’t worry. “
Yanzhi looked at him and couldn’t speak for a long time.
He is so sensible at such a young age, and it makes people feel distressed.
He is still so young, and he must still need his own careful assistance to grow up, but he still thinks about his mood and is willing to let him go.
Such Qingchen will be Yan Zhisheng’s weakness.
Forget it, Yan Zhi shook his head and sighed bitterly. In life, it is meaningful to have a weakness, so protect him well.
Anyway, he still has time to wait for him to grow up.
Yan Zhi smiled and patted his shoulder, and said knowingly: “Qingchen should not think like this. Yan Zhi is very good with you. Yan Zhi will never leave you when you need Yanzhi. “
When Qingchen heard this, he raised his head in surprise, and could not hide his joy between his eyebrows and eyes: “Really? Yanzhi, are you really willing to stay? “
Yan Zhi saw that he was happy, and he smiled from the bottom of his heart, “Yeah. “
Qingchen looked at Yanzhi, and was really happy. He was willing to stay. He was happy that he did not abandon him and go away like those people.
At the same time, he secretly hated himself in his heart. How could he use such means to deceive Yanzhi, and how could he use his kindness to tie him up?
However, he really gave Yanzhi a chance, an opportunity to realize his ideas, but he refused.
Then in this case, let us help each other and move forward firmly in this crisis-ridden palace. When he, Gu Qingchen, succeeded in reaching the high position one day, and had the right, he would treat Yanzhi well and give him peace of mind for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this in his heart, Qingchen’s fist was clenched tightly.
He must fight out a world.
The news that the emperor gave Qingchen’s title quickly spread throughout the palace, from the government and the country.
