After Tuoba Zhen's defeat, the direction of the court began to shift towards Tuoba Yu again.
Countless courtiers rushed to send him gifts, fearing that they would not be able to get in touch with the future emperor in time.
Tuobayu was happy in his heart, but his face was indifferent.
In his opinion, what he was today was all due to his own efforts.
In fact, it had nothing to do with these ministers who were following their influence.
However, one person is an exception.
Therefore, he specially set up a banquet in Wangjiang Tower to entertain Prime Minister Li and his daughter.
In the luxuriously furnished private room, Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you don't have to be so polite.
It's my blessing to be able to serve you."
Tuoyu Yu smiled slightly.
This old fox sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers from beginning to end.
On the surface, he showed kindness to him, but privately he never wanted to get involved in any fight, for fear of being implicated, if not for Li Weiyang's sake. , he wouldn’t even look at him twice.
"Prime Minister Li, you're welcome.
Father's imperial edict has not yet been issued, and I am not the future crown prince yet."
"Hey, no one knows what His Highness said now.
This is all a done deal, right, Weiyang," Li Xiaoran said, looking at Li Weiyang with a smile.
Li Weiyang held the wine glass in her hand and just smiled lightly, noncommittally.
Tuobayu looked at Li Weiyang, his affection was hidden under the dark pool, but the faint light seemed to have a deep meaning.
"Why are you so absent-minded?
His Highness is hosting a banquet in person.
This is a rare opportunity."
Li Xiaoran was displeased, and his tone seemed to blame her for not knowing how to praise.
Li Weiyang's black eyes stared at Tuoba Yu for a moment, and said with a smile but not a smile: "Do you mind, Your Highness?"
"Of course I don't mind.
I believe that the princess will always be on my side."
Tuobayu said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran saw that there seemed to be a strange emotion flowing between the two of them, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this was really a bad fate.
If Li Weiyang had been willing to give in and marry Tuoyu Yu according to his words, then now, let alone a little princess, she would already have the status of a queen.
If Li Weiyang becomes the queen, the Li family will also prosper.
Although it is now the home of the prime minister, it is still far away from the powerful ministers.
He was unwilling to give in.
It would be great if he could go further and further.
Li Changle, who still had a chance, was ruined.
Li Minzhi was still a child, and all hope of revitalizing the family lay with Li Weiyang.
She made a wrong step in the past.
She was too young and ignorant, and did not know the power of it.
Now everyone can see Tuobayu's thoughts on her.
If Li Weiyang can be the queen, Princess Pingting has already taken her.
But it is extremely simple to strive for more benefits for the Li family.
Before Li Xiaoran came today, he had given explicit hints, but Li Weiyang deliberately pretended not to understand and completely ignored his words.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
He doesn't want to trade his daughter for wealth, but since he is the head of the Li family, he must act in the interests of the family.
Even if Li Weiyang is unwilling, he must force her to do so.
As a woman, as long as you become someone else's family, everything will be fine.

No matter how smart or powerful a woman is, they are all the same.
Li Xiaoran thought like this and took the initiative to toast Tuoba Yu: "Come on, have another drink."
Tuobayu saw the change in the expression in Li Xiaoran's eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Prime Minister Li invites you first."
The two of them pushed cups and changed cups, but Li Weiyang was obviously absent-minded and didn't pay attention to their movements at all.
She looked across the courtyard to the plum blossom tree in the yard outside.
The snow was like cotton wool, falling on the plum blossoms one after another, but it could not hide the bright red color, which looked gorgeous and attractive.
She couldn't help but think of that man's smiling eyes, gentle and affectionate, and her heart softened inexplicably.
Tuoyu Yu clearly saw that she was thoughtful, but she sneered in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a crisp sound from the cup and plate.
When Li Weiyang looked, it was Li Xiaoran who accidentally dropped the cup.
Half of his sleeves were wet, and a long string of water beads dripped down.
He seemed to be stunned, and laughed and said: "I was just happy for a moment, so I drank a few more glasses.
Your Highness, don't take it off."
Of course Tuobayu would not blame him and said with a smile: "Come here, change the cup for the Prime Minister."
Immediately, a maid from outside responded and came in to change Li Xiaoran's cup.
Li Weiyang glanced at them and sneered in her heart, but there was a faint smile on her face.
However, Li Xiaoran stood up unsteadily and said, "Why do I feel like my head is getting heavier and heavier?
Alas, people become useless when they get old.
This is what happens after only three or five drinks."
Tuoyu Yu seemed to be a little surprised and stood up: "Does this require sending someone to take you back first?"
Li Weiyang's eyes crossed Li Xiaoran's face several times before he smiled: "Isn't it true that my father can drink a thousand cups?"
Li Xiaoran's body suddenly swayed, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he lowered his head uncontrollably, not daring to meet her gaze: "I really drank too much today, so that's okay, I'll just go to the side room to rest for a while."
After Li Weiyang glanced at Li Xiaoran for a moment, she chuckled and said: "Father, you have really worked hard."
Li Xiaoran couldn't help but look at her in shock, almost thinking that his mind had been read.
There was an undercurrent in Tuoyu Yu's eyes, and she looked at Li Weiyang with a smile, and said, "Come here, send the Prime Minister to the next room to rest."
Li Xiaoran did not dare to look at Li Weiyang's eyes anymore and frowned slightly.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help him tie on his cloak and pick out the curtain.
Someone had already opened the oil paper umbrella to shield him from the wind and snow, and Li Xiaoran walked out of the elegant room. between.
As soon as the curtain was opened, there was a burst of winter coldness, which accidentally penetrated into my heart and pierced directly to my bones.
Li Weiyang raised her eyes and looked at the man's back.
Li Xiaoran walked slightly quickly and staggered a little, as if he had drunk too much, but he walked so fast, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him.
Li Weiyang sneered, lowered his head and played with the cup in his hand, with a hint of coolness in his voice: "For a while, I resented him very much."
Li Xiaoran always likes to sacrifice others to achieve his own wealth, but why is she destined to be sacrificed by him?
Why has he contributed anything to her as a father?
He always keeps saying that he is for the family, but the glory of the family is always It is for men to enjoy, but women are required to dedicate themselves.
If she didn't agree, he would call her ungrateful and ungrateful.
If he hadn't been Minzhi's biological father and the old lady's son, how could she have tolerated it for so long?
"What now?"
Tuobayu asked thoughtfully.
At this moment, his face was handsome, his eyes were like deep pools, and the emotions in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out at the next moment, burning everything up.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "How can people be resentful if they don't care?"
Her voice was very soft, very soft, but resolutely indifferent.
Indeed, if she never cared about this person at all, how could she be angry because of his every move?
Li Weiyang kept Li Xiaoran, but for the sake of Mrs.
Li’s repeated pleas, if he continued to be like this, he would not understand the importance of it. , use the name of her father to teach people, don't blame her for being rude to him.

Tuoyu Yu stopped asking questions and looked at Li Weiyang with a smile on his face.
There seemed to be some unknown meaning in that smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore.
It's all because of you that I can be where I am today.
Come on, pay my respects first."
One cup for you.”
Li Weiyang's eyebrows were very calm, and he did not feel the slightest excitement: "His Highness said something serious, Wei Yang did not do anything, everything is His Highness's own credit."
Since the prince was named a prince, Tuobayu's status has been very stable.
In addition, the fifth prince, the prince, and Tuoba Zhen fell one after another.
It seems that he is the only one left who is qualified to get the throne.
Everything is going so smoothly.
No wonder so many people are rushing to fawn over him.
To please, even Li Xiaoran couldn’t sit still.
Tuobayu looked at Li Weiyang and said: "You were absent-minded just now.
What were you looking at?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I'm looking at the plum blossoms outside.
Look, how gorgeous they are."
Tuoba Yu followed her line of sight, smiled slightly, and said, "It's such a pity that such a beautiful flower withers when everything revives in spring.
If you like it, I can ask someone to cultivate it specially for you."
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said: "Your Highness, there are some things that you can't keep if you want to.
Why bother?"
These words sounded far-fetched, but Tuobayu was shocked.
She almost thought that Li Weiyang had seen through his mind, and smiled reluctantly, saying: "Weiyang, sometimes I don't understand what you say.
Why?
Your sincerity is always hidden from me."
Li Weiyang glanced at him and said: "Oh, Your Highness, do you want to see my sincerity?
But, I don't know if I have it, so how can I show it to you?"
Tuobayu's smile slowly turned cold: "No, you have it.
Of course you have it.
It's just that your thoughts have been given to him, so you have never looked at me Weiyang seriously.
How am I inferior to him?
In terms of identity and status , in terms of power and intentions towards you, I dare say that no one in the world can surpass me.
I have loved you for so long, but why are you willing to be a princess in vain instead of being my emperor.
Concubine, am I going to bore you like this?"
Li Weiyang put down the cup and said with a more condensed tone: "Your Highness, I think we have already discussed this issue.
No matter how many times you ask it, my answer will be the same.
I don't like you, it's that simple. " If you don't like it, can you kill his feelings with just a simple word of dislike?
He loves her so much, but she sends him away with just such a sentence.
Tuobayu stared at her, a look slowly covering his face.
Lao Lonely: "You know, I have lost interest in everything since my mother's death, but in order to get you, I have come step by step to where I am today."
"To get me" Li Weiyang suddenly laughed as if he heard some joke.
Tuobayu frowned: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Weiyang slowly sighed and said: "No, Your Highness, you have been deceiving yourself.
You have killed so many people along the way and done so many things, not for me, but for yourself.
You You want to be the emperor.
Even though you have been refusing to admit it and have been acting insignificant, ask yourself, are you really fighting for this throne for me?"

Tuobayu's face became ugly, and his dark eyes were filled with anger: "You can not accept it, but you can't deny my intention."
Li Weiyang smiled softly and said: "If I ask you to give up the throne now, stay with me, and leave Kyoto forever, will you be willing?"
Tuobayu's heart was shocked, and a strange feeling of pain quickly emerged, but he couldn't explain what it felt like, so he subconsciously said: "Why?"
He doesn't understand that everything is under control now.
The throne is his.
As long as he ascends the throne, he will naturally no longer need King Chaoyang or Princess Pingting.
By then, he can personally deliver it to Li Weiyang in this world.
In front of everyone, which woman doesn't like such honor?
No matter how cold-hearted she is, she should know that leaving Kyoto means giving up everything she has worked so hard for.
Li Weiyang looked at him with a hint of ridicule in her smile: "Don't ask me why, just answer, will you agree?"
Tuobayu's heart sank, his body trembled, a slight chill came from his back, and he immediately said: "Weiyang, this is not necessary at all."
Li Weiyang put away her smile and said in a steady tone: "So you see, between the throne and me, what you love more is the country, so don't keep saying that you took the throne for me, I can't bear it.
Get up.
"Everyone must be responsible for their own choices.
Tuobayu looks very tough on the outside, but on the inside he is a person who is afraid of taking responsibility.
He was unwilling to take the responsibility for killing, so he kept pretending that he was not interested in the throne.
He didn't want to bear the notoriety, so he had always been his happy prince, but subconsciously turned a blind eye to everything De Concubine did.
When he was forced to do so, he used her as a shield.
In fact, he was deceiving himself and numbing all his own feelings, including guilt, resentment, and revenge.
It seems that as long as it is for her, Li Weiyang, everything he does becomes natural.
This person was so complicated that she didn't even really see through him at first, thinking that he really loved her to the extreme.
But after asking her just now, she was already sure that in his heart, the throne was simply extreme.
What's important is that he worked hard and gave everything, superficially for her, but subconsciously, it was for power and position.
After hearing these words, Tuobayu felt as if a cold wind was approaching his bones, and his heart was chilled.
He slowly approached her and said: "Li Weiyang, you said these words just because you don't love me, so You want to hurt me, hit me, even use Abandoning the throne to force me, you clearly know that I have sacrificed so much to finally be so close to it, there is no need to give up.
If you feel that the throne is hindering you and me, when I ascend the throne, I will find ways to abolish Pingting and give it to you.
Desired status" Abolish Princess Pingting and give her a title.
Li Weiyang suddenly wanted to laugh.
Look, the men actually had the same idea.
King Chaoyang was of great help to Tuobayu in his fight for the throne, so he married Princess Pingting, but he never treated her well.
He even thought about getting rid of her in the future and marrying another woman he liked.
After using it, he kicked her away mercilessly.
How is this behavior different from Tuoba Zhen?
It is exactly the same.
It is a pity that she, Li Weiyang, disdains Li Changle and will never interfere in other people's marriages.
He married Princess Pingting has to look at Shu for a long time.
If she acts affectionately in front of her, it will only make her extremely disgusted.
"Tuobayu, you keep saying that you love me.
But if you really loved me, where were you when your mother-in-law humiliated me like that?
If you really loved me, when I was framed for marriage, Where are you?
If you really love me, why would you do it for just a trivial matter?
Tuoba Yu, you should be honest with yourself.
You are fighting for the throne not for me, but because you want the throne in your heart."
Li Weiyang's eyes gradually turned cold.
Even the last bit of smile disappeared from his face.

Tuobayu sneered and said: "Weiyang, no matter what you say, I will never change myself.
I really love you, and everything I do is to get you."
Li Weiyang saw that he was stubborn and shook his head gently, saying: "Tuobayu, Princess Pingting really loves you, why can't you see her goodness and always be obsessed with me?
My appearance is not as good as hers, my background Not as good as her, not even my own My hands are stained with blood, and there is a heart that you can never warm up to.
How long will your love for me last?
If one day, you really become the emperor, there will be all kinds of things in your harem.
Beauty, for you Winning over the courtiers, you can't leave each one alone, how much thought can you give to me when the time comes.
I am different from them, I can share everything with others, only my husband, I will not share it with anyone. , I finally let go of the baggage of the past and can truly come out, but if you insist on letting me go back to that hopeless life, I will not be your canary.
Since you said you love me, So, can you let me go?"
Everyone is selfish, and the beautiful and desired things are always in their hands in every possible way.
Even if it means death, he won't let go.
But if you really like someone, shouldn't you make him happy?
Just like Sun Yanjun, no matter what she does, she does it to make the person she loves happy.
She can do anything for his smile.
If Tuobayu really loves her, why can't he let her go?
Tuobayu looked at her, a sad look slowly appeared in his eyes: "Do you think I haven't tried it?
Do you know that after the death of my mother-in-law, I suddenly became the target of public criticism, and how many people stared at me.
Looking for my fault.
But I have endured it.
Whenever I can’t endure it, I will tell myself that as long as I endure it, you will come to me one day.”
Li Weiyang looked at him and sighed.
Although Tuobayu was reluctant to part with the throne, his feelings for her had always been true.
She didn't have to accept it, but there was no need to trample on this feeling.
This was the reason why she kept giving in, because she knew that he had never deceived her.
Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The reason why you think like this is because Concubine De has always been opposed to you being with me, and even Trying every possible means to obstruct her, ask yourself, is it true that the more she obstructs, the stronger your resistance will be?
Your love for me is not pure, it is mixed with too many things that even you can’t explain yourself.
How can I accept it?"
Tuobayu's expression became confused, and his dust-covered heart began to rise, wavering from moment to moment.
He didn't know how to answer her, he didn't know anything, what did everything she said mean?
He looked at her, her cold eyes and white face were all thoughts in his dream, he loved her, he He had always told himself that he was working hard for her, but now everything about him was completely denied by her.
It was incredible, as if the dream collapsed in an instant.
Why, he has always loved her so much.
He took a step forward, and Li Weiyang suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance on his body.
She subconsciously took a step back, but he continued to take a step forward, almost half-hugging her, and pressing her lightly on the table with an absolutely powerful gesture.
The strong fragrance of his body followed the flow of his body.
Getting closer, it became more and more intense, Li Weiyang frowned: "Tuoba Yu, what are you doing?"
Tuobayu's tone was very light: "What you said is nothing more than asking me to let go.
I want you to stay with that person, right?"
Li Weiyang opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but the refreshing smell made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
She glanced outside and subconsciously opened her mouth.
Tuobayu smiled and said, "Are you looking for that maid of yours?
I just thought of a way and transferred her away."
Li Weiyang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Tuoba Yu, I have always thought that you are a gentleman.
Although you and Tuoba Zhen are competing for the throne, you have always had a bottom line, right?
You can't do such dirty things.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Can it be done?"
Tuobayu smiled slowly, but there were a little tears in her eyes.
She was so sad, but she was too strong to break free: "Weiyang, why am I like this?
In the past, I refused to fight for the throne, Tuobayu But Bazhen regarded me as a powerful enemy; I was merciless, and the prince and queen forced my mother and concubine to death; when I had nothing, it was you who told me to be cruel, to fight, and to ignore everything.
Tsk, now I have abandoned my conscience and my own nature, but you don’t want me anymore.
Why do I refuse to give up the throne because of what you just said?
Or do you think I love you even more just to get angry with my mother and concubine?
, maybe these are true, but my feelings for you are also true.
But the reason why you don't accept me is that you like someone else, and you like that person."
All he got in exchange for all his hard work was her ruthlessness.
Before that, he felt that Li Weiyang had some feelings for him, but later he realized that she was just using him, his identity, and his ambition to become a her tools Li Weiyang, you are so smart, you are so smart that you can even plot my heart, but you don’t know how much pain I feel I know that you are using me to deal with the Jiang family and Tuoba Zhen, but I have been pretending not to know and am willing to be used by you.
I just ask you to respond to me in the slightest.
But if you don't, I won't let you go.
If you leave, it doesn't matter if I only get your hatred if I get you and possess you.
If you can't get strong love, it's better to turn it into eternal hatred.
I want to be the most important in your heart forever, surpassing Li Minde.
Li Weiyang wanted to push him away, but he increased his strength.
His eyes that had always been gentle and calm suddenly became sharp, "I know you are cautious.
If the medicine is mixed with wine and food, you will definitely find it, but if it is...
I take it with me.
The person you have been guarding against is your father.
You are afraid that he will betray you.
I fell in love with you, but you didn't expect that I would be despicable enough to drug you.
In your heart, I have never been this kind of person, right?
This is the first and only despicable thing I have done in my life. " His voice was slightly hoarse, but with a hint of low ambiguity, whispering softly in her ear.
Li Weiyang looked at him coldly.
Yes, she used him, but she made it clear that everyone got what they needed.
Now he uses such a victim face to blame her.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Didn't he get it?
Benefits, haven't you ever secretly rejoiced?
His hand had already reached out to the knot of her clothes.
Li Weiyang didn't struggle, she just stood there, her black eyes as ice-like as snow, clearly reflecting his reflection, but she seemed not to see anything.
He said softly: "Stop, I don't want you to look too ugly."
Tuobayu didn't understand what she meant.
However, Li Weiyang suddenly pushed him away.
He couldn't believe it and looked at himself sitting on the ground.
His body accidentally hooked the wine and food next to him and spilled it.
It was all over the place, even stained on his sleeves.
Li Weiyang said slowly: "Princess Pingting, you should help your Highness back.
He is drunk."
The curtain was opened, and Princess Pingting stood outside the door.
Her eyes met Tuobayu's, and she felt a little trembling for no reason.
Then, she walked over quickly and wanted to help Tuobayu, but he waved him away: "Get out."
Before Tuoyu Yu came, he had already taken the antidote, so he could resist the aroma of Ma Gu Powder.

However, Princess Pingting changed the medicine and secretly sent it to Li Weiyang.
This obviously turned into a farce.
Tuoyu Yu really couldn't imagine where Princess Pingting had such courage and dared to join forces with Li Weiyang to deal with him.
Princess Pingting's beautiful face was filled with tears: "Your Highness, you are drunk, I will help you go back."
When Tuobayu waved her away just now, his hand accidentally fell on the broken porcelain pieces, and was The cut was bloody.
But he was staring at her, and his eyes were as bright and quiet as the moonlight, but now they were full of hatred, and all that hatred was directed at Princess Pingting.
Pingting did this because she was worried that Tuobayu would be harmed.
If he really did something irreparable, Li Weiyang would not forgive him.
If the matter got serious, it would only harm Tuobayu's reputation. , obviously, it took a lot of effort for him to get to this point, is it necessary to see him Are you just watching everything he has ruined?
That's why she bribed the maid and secretly changed his medicine.
She really doesn't have any selfish intentions.
If Tuobayu likes any other woman in the world, she can endure the pain.
Let him marry her back, or even give up this position.
But Li Weiyang never liked him at all.
Such reluctance would only make things worse.
She knew that doing so might arouse his resentment, but when she really faced such a look, she was still so heartbroken that she couldn't lift her head. .
Li Weiyang glanced at the two people, shook his head, and walked out of the door.
The moment the curtain was lifted, Tuobayu looked at Li Weiyang's back and suddenly laughed out loud: "Weiyang, one day you will finally It's mine.
Even if you can refuse me, think about your mother and your brother.
Can they refuse?"
It was a threat, unabashed.
Li Weiyang raised her lips and said that love is hard to extricate, but it is different from bullying others and doing whatever they want.
If she is not strong enough, she will only be bullied and coerced.
Li Weiyang turned back to look at Tuobayu, with a completely unfamiliar, cold and decisive look: "Your Highness, our covenant has been severed, and I will no longer be your friend."
Tuobayu was stunned that she wanted to break up with him completely.
After parting ways with him, he couldn't help but stand up, but suddenly fell to the ground again.
Pingting wanted to help her with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare.
"Tuoyu Yu, you'd better remember" Li Weiyang looked into his eyes coldly, "I don't like threats.
Also, that position looks very close to you, but you will never be able to sit on it in your life.
If If you don’t believe me, let’s make a bet.”
As she said that, she smiled slightly, turned and left.
Tuobayu clenched his fist, Li Weiyang, one day, I will make you surrender.
One day, I will sit in that position.
Li Weiyang went out and saw Zhao Yue rushing over with an anxious look on her face.
She smiled and said: "No need to say it, I know everything."
Zhao Yue looked at Li Weiyang up and down and said with concern: "Miss, are you okay?"
Li Weiyang shook her head and said: "It's okay, let's go."
"Aren't you waiting, Master?"
Zhao Yue was a little surprised.
"He should be very drunk now, but he will wake up tomorrow morning."
Li Weiyang sneered and got on the carriage.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaoran saw Tuobayu in front of the imperial palace and wanted to go up to say hello.
However, Tuobayu was surrounded by a group of ministers affectionately.
He couldn't say anything at all.
Thinking of yesterday's failure, his heart A wave of anxiety.

This time at the court, the emperor summoned all the officials in Beijing to attend.
This must be to announce the candidate for the crown prince.
If Tuobayu becomes the crown prince today, it will be even harder to please Weiyang, a dead girl in the future.
It's really not enough to succeed, but more than enough to expose.
He thought like this, looking at the confident smile on Tuobayu's face, he couldn't help but be even more angry with Li Weiyang.
If the old lady hadn't taken Tan Minzhi back to her hometown to visit relatives a month ago, he would have forced the old lady to take good care of that girl.
On the dragon throne, the emperor sat majestically.
After paying homage to the emperor and his ministers, King Chaoyang stepped forward with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the position of the crown prince has been vacant now, which may shake the country's foundation.
The candidate for the crown prince should be established as soon as possible."
He is Tuobayu's father-in-law, of course.
I hope the emperor canonize the title as soon as possible and announce it to the world as soon as possible, so that his precious daughter will become a princess.
The emperor glanced at Tuobayu.
His face was very respectful, and his attitude was neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing.
However, he could not hide the determination in his eyes.
He sneered in his heart and said slowly: "I have already meant this.
Proclamation."
All civil and military officials in the dynasty knelt down to listen to the order, and the momentum was overwhelming.
The eunuch in charge of ceremony held out a volume of imperial edict.
Tuoba Yu looked at it and showed a smile.
Weiyang, have you seen it?
I will be the prince soon.
Can you reject me?
Can you resist the emperor's order and God's will?
"The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven: I ascended the throne when I was young, and it has been more than ten spring and autumn years, and I can feel the gratitude of God.
Unfortunately, as I am getting older, I am not willing to do anything about state affairs, and I fear that it will not be long.
In order to prevent the country from having a master, it will not be long.
In memory of the emergence of good heirs and talented people in the country, I established a crown prince to consolidate the foundation of the country.
The eighth son of the emperor, Tuoba Cong, is handsome, diligent in learning, talented, and of noble character.
He is worthy of my respect and will be able to inherit the throne.
Now, Tuoba Cong will be enthroned as the prince, and the princes and ministers will assist him to consolidate the government.
He was granted the title of Assistant Duke Ji Kang, and was granted the title of Young Master to the Crown Prince, to assist the Crown Prince with all his strength.
I admire this."
Everyone was completely stunned.
They looked at the Eighth Prince, who had always been inconspicuous, and Ji Kang, the elder brother of Concubine Rou, who was always taciturn in the court.
The two of them came out of the crowd and thanked the imperial edict with a smile.
People were still shouting in the huge crowd.
In shock, the hall fell into deathly silence.
King Chaoyang and Li Xiaoran were stunned when they heard the words "Emperor Bazi".
When they heard the last word, they couldn't even close their mouths.
As for Tuoba Yu, he was kneeling on the spot in shock.
The smile on his face had no time to put away.
His father would actually pass the throne to the eighth prince who had never been outstanding.
His younger brother looked at Tuoba Cong to thank him and saw With a fatherly smile on the emperor's face, Tuobayu felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He couldn't believe such a fact.
Why did this happen?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In a flash, he understood everything.
The emperor has been watching them fight with each other, but he himself has continuously withdrawn power from them.
From the power of the two hundred thousand troops to the direct dispatch of the imperial army, and even the half a million troops in the hands of Jiang Guogong, everything has been an act.
Over the years, the emperor Always doting on yourself, giving yourself hope, making yourself think that you are deeply favored by Long, making the prince and Tuoba Zhen full of jealousy, but In fact, the emperor liked himself, but the person he liked more was the Eighth Emperor.
So, he watched them fight each other, and even deliberately gave the 200,000 troops to himself to provoke all the crazy fights.
However, No matter what they did, the Eighth Emperor never participated.
He just stood aside quietly, pretending to be a weak prince, and watched quietly.
A scene from his childhood suddenly flashed through his mind.
At that time, he once saw his father holding Concubine Rou and sitting on the pavilion.
There was no maid around.
They were talking, and Concubine Rou called his father's name. , this memory is very vague, but I don’t know why, but now it emerges clearly.
He finally understood why his father suddenly neglected Concubine Rou after her murder.
He finally understood why Concubine Rou remained standing despite all the changes in the palace.
Because His Majesty's most beloved woman is Concubine Rou, and the son he most hopes to ascend to the throne is Tuoba Cong.
It's ridiculous that they are fighting desperately for it, but they are just preparing for Tuoba Cong to ascend the throne.
Keeping Tuoba Zhen alive is to use up the last bit of his value.
If he really intends to pass the throne to him, how can he let himself bear the infamy of his sibling.
His hands were already stained with blood, but his eighth emperor brother was clean and spotless from beginning to end.
He was silently learning the way of the emperor and the way of being a king.
The emperor himself relied on killing one Xue Lu ascended to the throne, but when it came to his heir, he was cared for and protected in every possible way.
Protecting everything has been foreshadowed for a long time, but I was too impatient and stupid, ignoring the haha, haha, so ridiculous, so ridiculous.
The smell of blood in my mouth was so strong that I gritted my teeth and held it in so I didn't spit it out on the spot.
In his originally chaotic mind, he suddenly remembered what Li Weiyang said yesterday.
She said that although he was very close to that position, it was a pity that he would never be able to sit on it.
It turned out that she had always known that he was a chess piece, but the person playing chess was the emperor.
No, it should be said that he thought she had won over Concubine Rou.
Now it seems that Li Weiyang’s real ally is the emperor.
Everyone stepped forward to congratulate Tuoba Cong.
No matter how surprised they were, they had to accept this fact.
Because Tuobayu no longer has a holy family, he only has the 200,000 people from Luo Kingdom's palace, and the eighth prince's sister Ninth Princess is about to marry into Luo Kingdom's palace, Luo Kingdom will not support Tuoba even if they are willing to rebel.
As for Tuoyu, this is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, in this battle to seize the direct descendants, the winner has been decided.
Tuoyuyu fell from the peak of power to the ground in an instant, and lost completely, with no room for improvement.
The world is hot and cold, and people are cold and warm.
The officials who were trying to please him all rushed forward to please the new crown prince.
Among the crowd, Tuoba Cong had a gentle smile on his face, but his sharp eyebrows were exactly the same as the emperor's.
Tuoyu Yu's heart was full of hatred.
He hated the emperor, he also hated Li Weiyang, and the person he hated even more was himself.
He wanted to force himself to restrain himself, but his eyesight turned black and his body was shaky.
Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, it turns out, you are treating me My revenge is waiting here.
Without any effort, I can taste the feeling of falling from the clouds to hell, but I can't even say a word, because all this is my own choice.
You are so cruel-hearted.
"Your Highness, you should go up and congratulate the Eighth Prince, no, it's the Crown Prince."
After all, King Chaoyang is very cunning.
The Eighth Prince has just ascended to the position of Crown Prince, and there will be opportunities in the future, so there is no need to be so anxious.

However, when he reminded Tuobayu, he saw that his face was extremely pale and frightening, and he quickly said: "Your Highness" Tuobayu finally spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Chaoyang King was extremely shocked.
However, Tuobayu covered his chest and suddenly laughed wildly.
On the carriage, Li Weiyang looked in the direction of Kyoto and sighed.
She didn't want Tuobayu to be embarrassed, although she always knew the emperor's thoughts.
In the past, Tuoba Zhen also understood the emperor's thoughts after getting rid of the prince and Tuoba Yu.
However, he chose to get rid of the eighth prince as well.
This was because his heart was cold enough and he had never been threatened by the emperor.
Father's love, so he didn't care and could plan to remove the fledgling eighth prince before the emperor appointed him a prince.
But Tuobayu didn't know how to do it.
He was too aloof and proud.
Such a personality was inextricably related to the emperor's deliberate cultivation.
The biggest difference between him and Tuoba Zhen is that he cannot withstand so many failures, nor can he withstand so many deceptions, especially from the emperor, his most respected father, who he thought truly loved him.
Just like Concubine Lian, who was favored by thousands of people, she must have never imagined that she was just a target used by the emperor to protect Concubine Rou, just like the beloved concubines who disappeared in the past.
In this world, everyone is trying their best to protect the one they love, but Tuoyuyu didn't expect that he was not the one being protected and loved.
"Miss, do we have to leave Kyoto?"
Zhao Yue asked puzzledly, "We can bring the old lady and the young master back."
Li Weiyang smiled softly and said: "The cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked.
Is this principle just for others?
His Majesty has already seen his father's actions.
He will not like this kind of half-hearted wallflower, so his Prime Minister, we have already reached the end.
Why should we be tied to him and suffer together?"
Zhao Yue was surprised and said: "Miss, are you asking the old lady to go back to her hometown to visit relatives?"
Li Weiyang slowly looked at the scenery outside the window and said: "I hope they are safe."
The old lady, Tan Shi, and Min Zhi are all her relatives, but she has always kept a distance from them, for fear that because of herself, Someone will hurt them.
But from now on, she can care about them and take care of them without worrying so much, Li Weiyang thought and couldn't help but laugh.
She had left a code for Minde, asking him to come to her after handling the matter, and she would be waiting.
Yes, so many years have passed, and there will no longer be entanglement with sadness and despair.
In front of us are ordinary and beautiful times, right?
The carriage drove for two full days before arriving at the courtyard that Li Weiyang had prepared early in the morning.
Zhao Nan said from outside: "Miss, we're here."
Li Weiyang got off the carriage and walked quickly to the other courtyard, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yue quickly followed and saw the scene in the yard.
Then, she was stunned, and then she shouted loudly: "Brother, big brother" Zhao Nan sensed something was wrong and rushed over.
When he saw the scene inside the door, he saw Bai Zhi's body and blood all over the floor.
Li Weiyang clenched her fists and walked towards the courtyard.
Bai Zhi, Mo Zhu, and Mama Luo were all the people she was most familiar with.
In the room, the old lady sat stiffly on her seat, her chest had been penetrated by a sharp knife, but Tan Shi and Min Zhi were nowhere to be seen.
Li Weiyang covered her eyes with her hands, and tears flowed silently from her fingers.
She had never cried.
No matter how painful it was, no matter how difficult the road was, she was fearless, but now she suddenly He turned around and rushed out quickly.
He opened room after room, but couldn't see Tan Shi or Min Zhi.
Those memories came back all of a sudden.
"Sister" before sending them away, Minzhi called her affectionately.
But she only glanced at him coldly, turned to Tan and said, "Mom, take good care of yourself."
Tan looked at her daughter reluctantly and said, "You really don't want to go with us?"

She shook her head, but suddenly she found that her skirt was being pulled by someone.
She lowered her head and chubby Minzhi hugged her leg.
Tan was afraid that she would be angry and quickly came to pull him, but Xiao Minzhi just held on to her skirt and burst into tears.
A big piece fell down.
Although he felt soft at that time, he refused to coax him and pushed him away gently.
However, he accidentally fell to the ground and cried loudly.
She bent down to hug him, but he suddenly stopped crying and hugged her neck hard.
His body was still twitching and tears flashed, but he didn't cry or make a fuss.
She wiped his tears.
Finally, he said cruelly: "If you cry again, my sister will never visit you again."
However, Minzhi still clung to him and refused to let go.
Tan couldn't bear to see Li Weiyang in trouble anymore, so she finally took him away.
She looked back at Weiyang with red eyes: "We are waiting for you to come."
Li Weiyang nodded and looked at the old lady on the carriage not far away.
The old lady just smiled faintly at her.
She had passed the age where she could shed tears freely, but she was still smart and wise.
When she heard Li Weiyang begging them to leave Kyoto, she knew that things were about to change.
Li Xiaoran was too stubborn.
In order to preserve the last bit of blood of the Li family, the old lady had to make a decision.
The curtain fell, and Li Weiyang could no longer see the faces of her relatives, but she thought they would see each other again soon.
She didn't expect that God would give her a fatal blow when she was happiest.
Finally finding the room, Li Weiyang pushed it away.
Tan was lying on the ground and had stopped breathing.
There was still a lingering smell of blood between the couches in the room.
There is a shawl lying half on the table.
It is brand new and embroidered with silk and bamboo.
Mrs.
Tan said that she would make a shawl for her to use in winter.
It will be very warm.
Li Weiyang was startled and stumbled unconsciously.
The threshold was so low, but it tripped her.
A little further, and it was the moment when she reached forward and her fingertips were almost touching Tan's face, but her limbs felt like they were filled with lead water and could not move.
The next moment, she fell limp to the ground, so embarrassed, so unbearable that she could not stand no matter what. stand up.
Zhao Yue also burst into tears and tried her best to help her, but for some reason, Li Weiyang seemed to have no strength at all and could not help her up at all.
Zhao Yue was horrified.
She had never seen the young lady like this.
No matter what happened, she was always so calm and calm.
But now, she seemed to be about to collapse.
"Miss" Zhao Yue called her out of fear.
Li Weiyang remained motionless, as if he had forgotten to shed tears.
Zhao Yue called Li Weiyang repeatedly, but she never spoke.
Zhao Yue's heart suddenly fell into bottomless darkness.
Did the lady At this moment, there was a sudden voice that made Li Weiyang's expression change.
"It's the cry.
It's Minzhi's cry.

Is it Zhao Yue?
Did you hear it?
It's Minzhi."
Li Weiyang suddenly stood up, as if she suddenly came to life again.
She grabbed Zhao Yue's arm and asked.
Zhao Yue was startled.
She looked around, but she didn't see the fourth young master at all: "Miss, maybe" you may have heard wrong, but she didn't dare to say this.
Li Weiyang let go of her and began to search everywhere, as if she was crazy.
Zhao Yue looked worriedly, thinking that Li Weiyang could not bear the blow.
However, in the end, Li Weiyang finally found the corner of the rockery.
She He rushed over and hugged the shivering child, "Min Zhi Min Zhi" Zhao Yue looked at it in surprise.
She glanced at Zhao Nan, and both of them had incredible looks in their eyes.
The fourth young master actually hid in the rockery.
How could this happen?
Judging from the corpses, the killers had been gone for a day and a night.
Could it be that Minzhi had been hiding here without moving at all?
Li Minzhi's small body was stained with many stains, and his big black eyes were full of tears.
The moment he saw Li Weiyang, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
He was still careful, crying softly, and hugging himself into a ball. .
Li Weiyang hugged him tightly, as if holding the most precious treasure, Minzhi, Minzhi, fortunately you are alive, thank you for being alive A drop of tears fell from her closed eyes, until the tears finally filled her face.
She only left Zhao Yue and Zhao Nan.
All other guards were sent here to protect them, but they still couldn't protect them.
Why, who exactly is it?
Who killed the old lady and her biological mother?
Thirteen rode a fast horse all the way into the manor, and rushed back like a fierce wind.
In such a hurry, he didn't even care about his injuries.
In order to assassinate Jiang Guogong, he worked hard and added countless wounds to his body, but so what, as long as he made Weiyang happy, no matter how many injuries he suffered, he could save his life and come back to see her.
Originally, he was heading all the way to Kyoto.
He wanted to go, but after he got the news, he immediately turned his horse around and headed all the way to this secret courtyard.
However, the moment he dismounted, he saw Zhao Nan kneeling on the ground.
Immediately, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.
He was more frightened than he had ever been before, and he couldn't even care about the surprise: "What happened?"
"The young lady has left with the fourth young master.
I have searched all places around here, and even went back to Kyoto to inquire, but found nothing.
No one knows where the young lady has gone."
Zhao Nan's face was full of guilt and regret.
After the accident, the young lady seemed to calm down and took care of the fourth young master wholeheartedly.
He also He thought that the young lady had accepted this fact, so he relaxed his vigilance.
He should have thought that under Li Weiyang's calm appearance, he must have been determined to find the enemy who killed the old lady and his wife.
Zhao Yue was also missing.
He must have followed him.
He is really useless.
He can't even guard such a big living person.
At this moment, Zhao Nan didn't even dare to raise his head to look at his master's face.
She's gone.

Didn't even wait for him to come back At that moment, Yuan Lie was so cold that he was trembling all over.
He knew that the man had left him and walked away, but he still couldn't bear to let go.
Slowly, he curled up the corners of his mouth and slowly showed a smile. .
He looked firmly into the unknown distance, his dark eyes were undulating, and his voice was full of tenderness: "Weiyang, I will find you, no matter where you are":
