Mother thought there were still people in the palace who could be trusted, but with the great-grandmother here, no one could escape her surveillance and control.

In addition, Li Yao always guarded him carefully. As soon as the servants who sent the poison arrived, the great-grandmother sent someone to inform him and told him to be more careful.

His mother knew that charming spells were of no use to him, so she asked Nanchu for some poisonous insects and added them to the tea soup prepared for him today, hoping to achieve the purpose of controlling his mind.

She never forgot for a moment that she wanted to restore the glory of the Zhao family. The villains around her who were plotting evil never stopped their thoughts, and there were always people coming up with sinister tricks.

If she hadn't known that the little aunt was in trouble, I'm afraid the great-grandmother wouldn't have been willing to do it. She would have waited for an opportunity to bring new blood into the palace, just to deliberately give her mother a chance to cause trouble.

The Gu insect has been eliminated long ago. His palace, her mother, and his great-grandmother deliberately gave him the opportunity to choose. The fate of this cancer that was raised in the palace is all in his hands. When it comes to drinking that cup of tea, Still hesitated.

Mother, in his impression, was an illusory existence, but when he really wanted to take action, he finally softened his heart. Knowing that the things in the tea soup were not for his good taste, he still hesitated...

His mother may not love him, she may not care about him, she may continue to ignore his existence, but he cannot ignore the destined gift of his life.

In this life, he can only give her a canary-like life like his father, and deny her the chance to regain power in exchange for her chance to live.

Looking at Pei Xuan's ten-year-old grandson, who had to bear the conflict between country and family at the tender age of ten, Li Yao felt reluctant and sad because of his love for his family, so he paid special attention to this little grandson.

Why have the hauntings been so bad in the past few days since he came back?

It's ridiculous to say that even though the palace was not peaceful, Empress Dowager Zhao still insisted on doing evil things in the palace. I really don't know what kind of thoughts she had. Did she really hope that her biological son would give her an end?

Therefore, he can only come to cause earth-shaking, so that Queen Mother Zhao cannot be poisoned or cast poison!

He could understand Pei Xuan's behavior. Being born in an imperial family already had some choices to face, not to mention putting his erring mother to death. No matter how alienated the emotions, taking away a living life, no matter how old a person is, there would be a crime in their heart. Wow, let alone a ten-year-old child.

He could still smile in the first few days after he came back. After learning that his mother was going to bewitch him, he spent several days hiding in a deserted corner with a frown on his face and secretly sobbing. When he saw him today, he still had worries in his heart... …

Pei Xuan never thought of forcing her grandson to make a decision, but only gave him the right to choose. Whether Queen Mother Zhao lives or dies, it will not have any impact on her, but if the situation remains unchanged, when he takes charge in the future, The courtiers will definitely bring this matter up, and the little guy will have to face it sooner or later.

Li Yao pulled the thread on the big palm and attached it to the little head, giving him a solid touch and comfort, "Choosing is difficult, executing the choice is even harder. You tried your best."

How miserable it is to cry when you can't find someone's arms to cry! It's okay if you only have that hand to rely on. Chengxi buried his little face in the palm of his hand, breaking down and crying without wanting to admit the fact, and kept mumbling in his mouth.

"Don't think that I will let you get close to my great-grandmother."

"Hey -" Li Yaozhen laughed in anger, his stubborn temper was quite similar to that of Pei Xuan.

When Pei Xuan found out that he had concealed his identity as the prince, she was also unwilling to accept the fact. She wandered the world on her own because she did not want to accept the constraints of the three-generation marriage between Pei Cheng's family, and she was not willing to marry a member of the royal family and become a member of the royal family.

After rescuing her that time, he was seriously injured. Who would have thought that his father's secret guards would come looking for her at this time, and his identity would be revealed. He was in a coma and had no idea what was going on. When he woke up, he only had a picture of everything.

No letter left behind.

He understood where her anger came from, so he was filled with reluctance and did not look for her again. He also had no way to look for her with this broken body, because he was reluctant to let her future children and grandchildren surround her and not be able to reach her...

Her wish was imprinted in his heart like a root!

Knowing that she couldn't believe that the man she met after escaping from home was still a prince, and she couldn't believe that it was so easy for royal children to get to know each other, she left him in anger and returned to the Pei family, resolutely accepting her fate and marrying with full of unwillingness.

Enter Cheng's family.

He borrowed several state gifts to meet her and sent her a plain-headed cauldron that could not be found. Knowing that she had carefully cared for it for decades, he also gained some comfort.

The love at first sight when they first met is still deeply engraved in my heart. The two met in the world, but they forgot about it because he concealed his royal identity. They were already old when they met again.

Her dignified and elegant facial features no longer had the stubbornness during the day. Under the dim light of the yellow moon, she always had a rare gentle and humble smile on her face, silently looking at the moonlight in front of him.

.

What are you actually looking at?

The two of them never spoke out, so they wouldn't believe anything they said. She didn't regret it at all.

I heard a lot about her from Yatou, especially what she said about God’s will, how beautiful she is, isn’t it because she cares about her arrival?

After rescuing her that time, he was deeply hurt. Who would have thought that his father's secret guards would come looking for her at this time.

Therefore, how easy it is to see the tough-talking skills inherited from this family!

Seeing the child blowing his nose with a pull string, Li Yao was so angry that he didn't know what to do. He just kept telling himself in his heart that this was Pei Xuan's grandson...

"Child! I am a great gift that your aunt took great pains to send to her great-aunt." Li Yao used the string to hold the crying child in his arms and reminded him with a half-smile.

Although it is very embarrassing to use a maid to force the child to surrender, how long has it been since he came back? He still threatens to deny him contact with Pei Xuan. How can he swallow this tone?

"What are you talking about! Aren't they all the same person?" Chengxi jumped in anger without caring about his expression.

Think he is stupid?

Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deny that Li Yao was a special being to his great-grandmother. He had also seen one of them leaning on the railing in the palace, and the other standing on the top of the eaves at the entrance of the palace, looking at the same moonlight.

They had the same sympathy for each other in their eyes, but their love was more than polite. He didn't want to admit that what his great-grandmother looked at was not just the bright moon, but also a hint of happiness, the feeling of being lucky to see each other again in this lifetime.

heart of……

However, the great-grandmother was the only spiritual support in the entire palace that could give him comfort. When the imperial aunt was unable to enter the palace to take care of him when he was young, it was the great-grandmother who cared and protected him like a hen protecting her chicks.

Just thinking that he was Grandma's only comfort in this lonely palace, and that his only support in the palace was about to be taken away by the shadow in front of him, was he more than unwilling?

If he hadn't been reluctant to extinguish the light of joy in his great-grandmother's eyes, he would have wished he could have driven him out of the palace!
