Lord please forgive me

Chapter 87 On Longting Mountain
Yingzhen couldn't let go of the news brought by Shuixiu for a long time.

If this is true, then the world is in great chaos, no matter how hard Emperor Li Yuanqian tries to turn the tide, it may not have any effect.
The crown prince has not yet been established, and several of his sons are entrusted outside with heavy troops, unless Li Yuanqian can recall them to the capital at the same time, but it seems impossible now,

……

A few days later, Qingwan came to see Yingzhen, with a strange expression on her face,
"Brother, there is someone outside the door begging to see him, he is from the capital,"

Ying Zhen was flipping through a book in the kiosk, when she heard this, she paused,
The only person I seem to know in the capital is Li Wen, Princess of Leling. Could it be that she has some news for me?

"Let him in,"

After a while, a person came in from the bamboo garden, his whole body was covered in a snow-white toga, with his hands in his warm sleeves, he took off his hood when he climbed up to the small pavilion,

It was a strange old man, with gray temples and a red face, with a kind smile,
"Li Fang has met Master Ying,"

Ying Zhen raised her eyebrows, she already knew who the other party was, the yin and yang aura on this person's body was uneven, and the yang qi was broken from the bottom, so it could be seen that it came from the palace.
The person who came was Li Yuanqian's personal eunuch, Li Fang, who was known as a human fox, and was the first-rank chief internal officer, Li Fang.

"Eunuch Li came to look for this deity, why?"

Li Fang's face was full of smiles, quite like a respectable old man,
"The old slave went out of Beijing first. My master wants to invite the Demon Emperor to meet him. The place is Longting Mountain. This place is [-] miles east. Counting the time, my master must be here soon. The Emperor Ying can leave now." up,"

Yingzhen didn't make a sound, she rubbed her fingers on the edge of the teacup on the stone table,

The emperor suddenly wanted to see him?Why?Shouldn't he be sitting in the capital at this time to deal with the dynasty's funeral?
Now that the personal eunuch is here in person, he can almost verify that the news of Shuixiu is absolutely correct, and there is definitely something wrong with the Human Emperor.
"Why does he want to see me?"

Li Fang didn't have that kind of high-pitched voice when he spoke, but his tone was soft and unhurried,

"The three emperors are all powerful in the world. The Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor have already met, but my lord has not seen the demeanor of the Emperor Ying. This invitation to meet is really an act of comfort."

It's not that Ying Zhen is timid, her current cultivation may be able to hide it from others, but she can't hide it from the Emperor. If she really goes to see her, will the other party see through and get rid of herself?
The risk is too great,

Yingzhen said lightly:
"It's better not to see each other than to see each other,"

Li Fang seemed to have expected that Ying Zhen would say this, and said with a smile:
"My master made a decree some time ago that the military should not fight against the noble sect. King Hejian asked troops to encircle and suppress Chu Guangnan several times, but was rejected. Emperor Ying knows my master's sincerity,"

Yingzhen's brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was being chased away, as if the Human Sovereign wanted to see her very urgently, if she didn't go, would it make people feel timid?
Now that the Human Emperor's erysipelas is filling his body, his cultivation is probably at a discount, and this is a very good time, so he probably won't take the risk of fighting him.
Of course, the premise is that he pretends to be good enough. If Li Yuanqian realizes that he can kill him very easily, Ying Zhen thought, the other party will never be stingy with his shots.

"Eunuch Li is a good lobbyist,"

"Emperor Ying has a great reputation, Li Fang is just a slave running errands for the master,"

……

Yingzhen set off with her only son without informing anyone. To him, the journey of fifteen hundred miles was only three days.
Three days later, at the foot of Longting Mountain,
Looking up, half of the mountain was covered with white snow, and there were no traces of people, only the footprints left on the snow by the passing beasts.

In the cold wind, Yingzhen trekked and climbed the mountain, her whole body restrained, only her consciousness covered the whole mountain,
Perhaps it was because the Human Emperor released his breath on purpose, Yingzhen could sense his presence and accurately judge his location.

At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and walked like a tourist on the sometimes-disappearing mountain road,
Near the top of the mountain, outside a pine forest, a man climbed on a giant pine with bare feet. His clothes were thin, but they were clean and flawless without a trace of dirt. picking pine needles,

Yingzhen stopped five feet away from him, looked over curiously,
If he hadn't been able to sense a pure and unparalleled domineering aura from the opponent, Ying Zhen would never have associated this person with the Emperor.
Li Yuanqian also looked at him, but only smiled, then raised his head to pick up the pine leaves, his face was focused and serious, like a naughty boy,

Ying Zhen looked at the other party carefully, her appearance could be regarded as unrivaled in England, and she looked like a fairy. Although she was over a hundred years old, her long hair was as black and shiny as a young man's, her face was white and beardless, and her eyebrows There is a mole in between,

In this way, it looks more like a fairy family figure floating in the dust, rather than the current emperor with all the power.

Li Yuanqian stopped picking leaves, bowed his head and counted the fluffy needles in his palm, and said softly:
"When I was young, there was a giant pine tree in the palace. I seem to remember that it came from a small country in the Northern Wilderness as a tribute. When I was young, I often climbed to the tree to pick the needles. Although it was boring, I also enjoyed it.
I still remember that there were a total of 370 pine needles on that tree, and I plucked them all bald. Those days were also the most wonderful time in my life,"

Then, he paused for a while, looked up at the sky, and let out a long sigh, as if this sigh had already explained the wastage of his life,

"When I was weak and crowned, I was involved in the battle for the throne. In fact, for me, the power of the throne is far less comfortable than that of Xiaoaojianghu. It's a pity that you were born in this emperor's family and you can't help but fight for it.

My road to enthronement can be said to be paved with flesh and blood, so I am afraid, afraid that these sons of mine will kill each other because of their rights, so since they were born, I have deliberately alienated them and never hugged them. All sentient beings regard me as the king and father, but they do not know that I have never tasted the love of father and son for a moment,

I only observe them in secret on weekdays, and want to choose a benevolent king for my great Zhou,

Hehehehe... Children who have escaped from their father's protection really grow up faster, but unfortunately, those who are soft-hearted have no ability, and those who are capable are more ruthless than I was before. How do I choose? "

Yingzhen seemed to be listening to an old father talking about his inner struggles, but he couldn't help but feel sad for the old emperor. The brother he didn't want to see slaughtered, but in fact he had already paved the road with his own hands.

Yingzhen said lightly:
"The emperor seems to have passed on the throne 20 years ago, but now it seems to be too late,"

Li Yuanqian smiled, noncommittal,
"I'm getting old, and my heart has softened. Brother Ying thinks, among my sons, who can hold Chen Ting, Qin Guang, and Ning Mu?"
