With the unremitting persuasion of the courtiers, the emperor's edict finally came down, naming King Yang Che of Qin as the King of Luoyang, King Yang Zhen of Yue as the King of Kuaiji, and King Yang Zhao of Shu as the King of Lujiang.

On this day, when Yang Che came to the Lizheng Hall again, it was already sunset. When he walked to the front of the hall, he was not surprised to see the two familiar figures from behind. It turned out that after the incident from Jiuge,

Liu Jieyu, Yang Zhao's biological mother, took Yang Zhao to the Li Zheng Hall every day and knelt down in self-examination.

At this moment, the sky is filled with rays of light. Liu Jieyu is still wearing her hairpin and thin plain clothes, and she is lying on the ground in front of Shiji devoutly. The gentle sunset falls on her body, but she cannot separate the unignorable beauty of her body.

The light of a loving mother.

Looking at this scene, Yang Che couldn't help but laugh at himself, and his heart became colder and colder. Looking at Wulang Yang Zhao aside, for a moment, he actually envied this younger brother so much.

Even if there is no aura of direct descent, even if one is from a humble background, even if one does not have a strong maternal clan to support him, so what?

At least Wulang received the most selfless family love in the world, and at least he had a mother who would risk everything for him.

Not mixed with trade-offs, not mixed with favoritism, not mixed with interests.

And what about him?

Yang Che couldn't help but want to laugh. He raised his head and looked at the Zhengzheng Palace that had shut him out for several days. He thought about whether the lady inside, who was richly dressed and sitting on the phoenix throne, would one day be like Liu Jieyu.

Treat him like Goro?

"King of Luoyang——"

Knowing that Yang Che had come to the Lizheng Hall again, Shang Gong Yinniang quickly retreated quietly. Upon hearing her call, Yang Che gradually came back to his senses.

While Yang Che was waiting uneasily, he heard Queen Li's response. When he raised his head, he saw that Queen Li had already walked closer and stretched out her hand like a child, gesturing for him to get up.

Yinniang was not surprised by Yang Che's request, but thinking about Yang Che coming and going every day, Empress Li had always avoided seeing him. It can be seen that Empress Li was extremely angry because of Jiu Ge.

Embarrassed, but looking at Yang Che in front of her, Yin Niang finally nodded and sighed: "I will go back to report to Her Majesty the Queen. San Lang, please wait a moment."

Just when Yin Niang opened the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang with complicated emotions and was about to go out, she heard Queen Li's voice coming from behind her. As soon as these words came out, Yin Niang's pupils lit up immediately, and then she came back to her senses and said with some joy.

:"yes."

"But I want you to swear an oath, swear by what you want most in your heart, swear that you will never fight with Erlang in this life, and swear that you will be as close as before in this life."

The extreme fear sent shivers down Yang Che's spine. He knew that he would never let this happen. The current Aniang had no evidence, but was distracted by Jiu Ge's words.

The next moment, looking at the young boy in front of him kowtows to the ground, listening to every sound of touching the ground so sincerely, Queen Li squeezed the pen tightly and couldn't help but take a closer look at the thin and thin boy in front of her.

Many figures clearly have thousands of words of advice and concern stuck in their throats, but when they are spoken, they somehow become cold and distant.

When Yin Niang turned around and quietly entered the palace, she saw Empress Li still standing behind the desk, practicing calligraphy to calm her nerves. In silence, Yin Niang walked in bravely, hesitated for a long time and then cautiously said: "Your Highness, Sanlang has come to see you again.

, are currently waiting in front of the palace with Liu Jieyu and others——"

That's why she tried her best to support Erlang to rise to power, so when she saw that Erlang and Sanlang both fell in love with Aman, she resolutely married her to Zhao Yi.

"Let him come in."

He hated it. He hated it because in Empress Li's heart, he could not compare to Yang Yan after all.

"I understand. Since you have seen me today, you should go back and make preparations early."

"Auntie is willing to believe you."

"To this day, am I still unwilling to believe my son? My son and my brother grew up together, so how could he covet him and do such a cruel thing to him? All of this is just Jiu Ge's trick to use this to get rid of him.

To alienate us—"

No, that's not possible——

"I'm here to ask for an audience with my mother-in-law, and I'd like to ask Shang Gong to explain it to me on my behalf."

At this point, Yang Che's words were hoarse, and in the silent air, Queen Li felt her chest stagnate, so tight that she choked in her throat and felt a slight heat in her eyes.

After looking at Queen Li, Yin Niang lowered her head silently and walked slowly out, thinking only about how to get back.

Speaking of this, Yang Che once again looked at Empress Li almost begging and said: "Auntie——"

But Saburo, did he ever understand her painstaking efforts?

What I said today, how much is true and how much is false?

Now, even she herself doesn't know.

After the words fell, the mother in front of him was still unmoved. Yang Che lowered his eyelids sadly, and the next moment he lifted up his robe and knelt down, with his back straight, and said in a deep voice: "Aye's will has been made, my son will not die."

I will go to the fiefdom in the day. My son is not filial and will no longer be filial to my mother. I say goodbye this time. I don’t know when we will see each other again. I hope my mother will take good care of herself. Don’t forget to put on more clothes when the weather is cold. Today, my son is going to pay homage.

Don't--"

Originally, she believed that with Erlang's character, if he became emperor in the future, he would treat Sanlang well, so that she would be able to feel at ease a hundred years later. But when Jiuge said all that before his death, she was undoubtedly scared. The prince

There is only one position, and she cannot be fair in this matter.

He was afraid, so afraid that if he separated from Empress Li, he would have nothing.

What she fears most in her life is seeing her own flesh and blood killing each other.

Without his father's preference and mother's support, could he really be allowed to go to a fief and become a prison?

Auntie, have you separated from him to this extent?

At this moment, Yang Che's hands were numb, and he felt both hatred and fear in his heart.

Amidst the calm fragrance of the agarwood, Yin Niang saw that Queen Li was still unmoved, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. In the past, when she was in the Taiwei Mansion, she was so kind to her mother and her son, and her brothers and sisters were respectful.

Upon entering this palace, everything has changed unknowingly. Since Jiuge's death, the gap between the mother and son of the Tian family, Queen Li and King Luoyang, has become deeper and deeper, and I am afraid that they will never go back.

Because she didn't want to see the two brothers turn against each other for Ah Man.

Hearing these simple words, Yang Che raised his head in shock, but what he saw was the cold side face of Queen Li.

"Aniang."

He had to find a way to dispel his mother's doubts.

After entering the palace and passing through the bamboo curtain, Yang Che saw Empress Li behind the desk. Only then did he realize that he could not help but feel nervous and even guilty——

Hearing these words, Queen Li paused slightly in her writing, but only for a moment and continued to practice calligraphy as if she had not heard anything. This made Yin Niang's back tighten and she was unable to move forward or retreat for a while. After thinking about it, she finally said: "Your Highness.

, Now that the decree of the king has been issued, Sanlang will leave for the fief soon. I’m afraid I don’t know when we will see each other again——"

When he heard the call from Yin Niang, not to mention Liu Jieyu and Yang Zhao who were kneeling in front of the palace, Yang Che was also extremely surprised at this moment. When he looked up at this all-too-familiar palace, he hid his right hand in his sleeve.

I secretly clenched my fists, as if I mustered up the courage, and after a long time I took a step forward and walked in.

When Empress Li heard this call, her heart was shaken a bit. When she turned her head and looked at Yang Che, who was kneeling there with red eyes full of waiting and expectation, Yang Yan lying on the bed once again appeared in her mind.

The scene on the sick bed with uncertainty about life and death.

These next words undoubtedly knocked Yang Che back to where he was. In a daze, Yang Che's heart completely fell into the abyss. Looking at his mother who was as gentle as before, he understood deeply that they would never be able to go back.

Went.

At this moment, Yang Che's heart was colder than it had ever been before. Under his mother's expectant gaze, Yang Che slowly stretched out his right hand, met Empress Li's eyes without avoiding it, and said word by word: "My son hereby swears an oath.

, I will never covet the position of the prince in this life, and I will never compete with Erlang. If I violate this oath, I will teach my son that what he wants in this life will be fruitless, and he will not get what he wants, and what he asks for will be impossible."

After hearing this profound and heavy oath, Empress Li knew how heart-wrenching it was, but now, she had no choice but to help herself, and a tear rolled down from Empress Li's eyes.

I saw her tremblingly reaching out to touch Yang Che's cheek, her words filled with endless complexity and sadness.

"Sanlang, you and Erlang are both my mother's children. They are the flesh that fell from my body. My mother has lost your sister, and I can never lose any of you again. Do you understand my mother's painstaking efforts?"
