In the cold autumn night, Dingwu sat on a chair, his legs soaked in the potion, staring at Liuli, who was skillfully inserting silver needles into the acupuncture points on his legs.

This was already one of Liuli's thousands of needle injections. When all the silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points, Liuli raised her head and glanced at Dingwu. Seeing Dingwu staring blankly at her, she smiled softly and asked, "My lord Have you felt better recently?"

Ding Wu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, I feel that my legs seem to have some strength."

"It means that the meridians have been unblocked." Liuli said with a hint of joy, "If you take more care, you will recover soon."

Ding Wu nodded slightly, and said: "I just hope to be able to mount a horse and fight like I was young again, and trample my enemies under the horse's hooves."

"Your Majesty will soon realize your wish." Liuli stood up, walked behind Dingwu, and said softly, "My Majesty, I will press the acupuncture points on your head for you."

Dingwu nodded slightly, Liuli stretched out her white jade hands, and gently pressed on Dingwu's sun point.

"Liuli, I killed Lin Yuanfang today." Ding Wu suddenly said, "Do you know why I killed him?"

Liu Li said softly: "The Holy One is a generous king, since he was killed, there is a reason to kill him."

"He wants to steal my jade seal." Ding Wu said with a light smile, "The jade seal is an important weapon of the country. Lin Yuanfang is also considered a smart person, but he made such a big mistake. Do you know why?"

Liuli said faintly: "I think Lin Yuanfang's heart was blinded by profit, and he lost his head for a while."

"No...!" Ding Wu shook his head and said, "He took the risk because he was afraid."

"Fear?"

"He thought that my empire would soon perish, so he was afraid to be buried with me." Dingwu said lightly, "It was because of his fear that he wanted to abandon me."

Liuli just sighed lightly and didn't speak.

Dingwu leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and let Liuli gently massage his acupuncture points, "Maybe it won't be long before more people will turn their backs on me and leave me, even if they don't betray relatives, but when they arrive In the end, there may not be many people by my side." He asked softly, "Liuli, if there is such a day, will you still be by my side?"

Liuli stopped her hands, pondered for a while, and finally said: "My lord, if there is such a day, even if there is only one person around the sage, that person must be a concubine."

"I'm very happy to hear you say that." Ding Wu's lips showed a gratifying smile, "As long as you are by my side, even if everyone in the world turns their backs on me, so what?"

Liuli was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "My lord, do you... regret being emperor?"

Ding Wu was startled, and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"The concubine was just asking casually." Liuli said softly, "When the Holy Majesty was still the crown prince, he didn't seem to have worked as hard as he does now. After he became the emperor, he worried day and night...!"

Ding Wu sighed softly: "This is not something I can choose. Since I am a descendant of the Xun family, I have the responsibility to bear this burden. I know this burden is very heavy. Sometimes I can't even take it. I even thought about it." Take you to drop the burden, and don't ask about these worldly affairs, but...!" Shaking his head, he said: "This country was forged with the blood of thousands of people, I have no right to throw it down, even if it is true One day I will be smashed to pieces, and I can only go until that day."

Liuli smiled wryly and said: "The Holy Majesty is a good emperor, but everything about the Qin Kingdom must be borne by the Holy Majesty. Whether it is right or wrong, it is the Holy Majesty's responsibility."

Dingwu smiled lightly, did not speak, just closed his eyes slightly, suddenly, a feeling of extreme exhaustion hit his whole body, Dingwu wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were so heavy that he could not lift them up, muttering Said to himself: "I.....I want to sleep for a while...!" Leaning back on the chair back, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Liuli walked aside and stared at Dingwu, her delicate face was as calm as water.

After a while, Liuli walked aside, took a blue cloak, put it on her body, and then walked out the door lightly, the autumn night was quite cold and dark, Liuli raised her hand and covered the hat attached to the cloak over her head, He closed the door with his hand back, and then quickly walked out of the yard.

After leaving the courtyard, the two guards outside the courtyard looked like stone statues. Liuli didn't look at them, but said indifferently: "The Holy Majesty has already gone to bed, no matter who you are, don't disturb the Holy Majesty."

The two guards bowed and said yes, then Liuli left, instead of going to the main entrance of the palace, she went around to the side entrance. After going out, there was already a very ordinary-looking carriage waiting in the alley.

The driver of the carriage was wearing a black robe all over his body, and even his head was covered by the black robe. When Liu Li got into the carriage, he shook the reins without saying a word, and the carriage left immediately.

The night was hazy, the car was rattling, turned a few streets, and the carriage finally stopped outside a house, and the main entrance of the house was guarded by soldiers. When they saw the carriage stopped in front of the door, the guards stood up immediately Picking up the spear, aiming at the carriage, seeing Liuli coming down from the carriage, the guards looked at each other, and finally one person shouted in a low voice: "This is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to approach, who are you?"

Liuli was like a green willow, she stepped forward lightly, raised a hand, and actually showed a gold medal in her hand, seeing the gold medal, the guarding soldiers' complexion changed slightly, both of them could see that it was the emperor's king's order gold medal, seeing the medal Now the emperor immediately fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty ordered me to come and ask a few questions." Liu Li's beautiful eyes were calm, and she said softly, "No one is allowed to enter without my order." Without saying much, she went straight into the courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted, Liuli walked lightly to the main entrance, there was also a guard guarding the main entrance, seeing the gold medal in Liuli's hand, she hurriedly saluted, Liuli said softly: "Open the door lock!"

The main gate was locked with an iron chain, the guard unlocked the door and pulled out the iron chain, Liu Li said softly: "By the order of the Holy Majesty, come to interrogate, and you wait outside the courtyard."

The soldier didn't dare to disobey, bowed and retreated, Liuli put away the gold medal, gently opened the door, and entered the room.

There was a single lamp in the room, hanging on the wall, it was dark and cold, and it was empty. There was no table or chair. With the dim light of the lamp, one could see a person sitting cross-legged in the corner of the room. Facing the corner of the room, sitting cross-legged, motionless, when he heard footsteps behind him, the man remained motionless.

Liuli closed the door smoothly, then lifted her hat, revealing her beautiful face, and said softly, "Commander Xuanyuan seems to like this place very much?"

Hearing Liuli's voice, the man shook his body, seemed a little surprised, turned his head, saw the graceful figure under the solitary lamp, frowned, and said in surprise, "Ma'am?" There was a clatter, but his hands and feet were locked by heavy iron chains.

Liu Li looked at Xuanyuan Shao and sighed softly: "The Xuanyuan family has devoted their allegiance to the country, but in the end the leader Xuanyuan ended up like this, it's really embarrassing."

Xuanyuan Shao stood still, looked at Liuli, but his expression was very calm, and asked: "It's midnight, but I don't know why Madam came here?" A smile appeared on his lips, "Could it be that the Holy Majesty's anger is still lingering, want to To execute Xuanyuan?"

"Commander Xuanyuan, you have committed a serious crime by blaspheming Princess Xuehua, do you think there is still hope of surviving?" Liuli's eyebrows were picturesque, "And Princess Xuehua has already confessed everything, saying that it was your intention to... ..Hey, you are a smart person, and there are some things that I don't need to say too clearly. With the testimony of Concubine Xuehua, how can you be exonerated?"

Xuanyuan Shao didn't change his face, and said: "These days, I have been thinking why Princess Xuehua would suddenly set a trap to harm me? She called me to teach her how to practice arrows. The drunkard's intention is not to drink, I have always I thought she was just unwilling to fall into the cold palace, and wanted to win over foreign ministers so that she could have a good future... She is not really a smart person, and I have already seen her intentions clearly, but when she suddenly came that day, It was beyond my expectation."

"Oh?" Liuli smiled softly, she was so glamorous, "Then Xuanyuan has been in command these days, can you think about why?"

Xuanyuan Shao sighed: "Actually, before I saw Madam, I was still thinking about it, and I didn't fully understand it, but I was close to thinking it through. Now that I see Madam, I finally understand everything."

"What do you understand?"

"I suddenly realized that the real expert might be my wife." Xuanyuan Shao stared at Liuli's blue eyes that were as misty as a dream, "At that time, Concubine Xuehua often summoned her to learn piano with her, but At the same time, I was called to teach archery. At first I just thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that if there is no accident, such a coincidence was created by Madam. In comparison, it is downright stupid, it can only be a plaything in Madam's hands."

Liuli smiled like a flower, and her voice was beautiful: "Commander Xuanyuan is too flattering, Liuli is just a weak woman, and she can't deserve such a compliment from Commander Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan Shao moved slightly, and the iron chain rattled. He stared at Liuli and asked, "So Xuanyuan suddenly understood that what happened that day was certainly not Xuanyuan's original intention, let alone the intention of Princess Xuehua. And all the coincidences It seems that all the things happened on the same day, and the Holy Majesty would suddenly arrive at the moment when the things happened, as if he had been waiting for things to happen, so everything was understood." He shook his head and said in a heavy tone: " It is the Holy One who leads all of this, and it is Madam who controls all of this."

Liuli sighed quietly: "So you have already figured it out."

"Xuanyuan has the military power in his hand, and the Holy One is uneasy. He wants to take back the military power, but he is also worried that Xuanyuan will rebel." Xuanyuan Shao sighed, "That's why he thought of finding a chance to punish Xuanyuan's crimes first. After Xuanyuan is detained, he can do it. Take back the military power of the guards, and take this opportunity to get rid of Xuanyuan, an enemy he thinks is a threat. Madam has been in contact with Concubine Xuehua for a while. Of course, Concubine Xuehua is not really learning the piano, but He wanted to use Madam to do things for her, but it's a pity that she thought she was smart, but was used by Madam instead." His expression was gloomy: "It's just that the Holy Majesty doesn't know, as long as he speaks, not to mention the military power in his hand, it's my life, and he will kill me at any time." It can be taken away, there is no need to go through so much trouble. The Xuanyuan family is loyal to the Great Qin and the Holy One, Xuanyuan would rather die than violate the family precepts and plot rebellion."
