They all say I'm a tyrant

late episode

After the first snowfall, the imperial city, which had been silent all night, gradually woke up.White snow can be seen everywhere, and the palace people who woke up early stepped on it with deep and shallow footprints.It's almost winter, the sky is freezing, and the dripping water turns into ice. Almost everyone is trying their best to wrap up their robes tightly, and they don't want to stay outside for a moment longer.

Chi Che was only wearing a padded robe, he didn't notice the cold wind blowing on his body, he was wearing a long sword, and his back was straight.

"The lower officials are bound to meet the Holy One today, why did Director Gao hide it and not report it, but what is there to hide?"

"It's not that our family concealed it and didn't report it, but that His Majesty has an order first, and no foreign ministers are allowed to enter. Does your lord want to resist the order?"

The noise came from the courtyard and fell into his ears clearly, causing Chi Che to frown. Holding the hilt of the long sword in his right hand, he rushed into the inner courtyard just waiting for Gao Yong's order.But contrary to his expectations, Gao Yong seemed to prefer to continue arguing with these foreign ministers rather than alert the imperial guards.

During the stalemate, the sound of hasty footsteps came, Chi Che turned his head and saw Lin Xiu, Princess of Lechang leading a palace attendant straight to Changle Palace.Chi Che bowed and saluted Princess Lechang, felt the other party's eyes fall on him, and turned away without stopping at all.Chi Che stared at Princess Lechang's back for a while, then slowly lowered his eyes.

Something must have happened between Changle Palace.

Not to mention a few foreign ministers, even he, the chief of the imperial guards, did not see the Holy Majesty for a few days. He only said that the little princess was sick, and no one was allowed to approach the main hall without His Majesty's order, so as not to disturb the Holy Majesty.Although it sounds reasonable, if you think about it carefully, there are really many doubts.

But now, even Princess Lechang, who was obsessed with Buddhism and hadn't been out for more than half a year, unexpectedly came out of the palace.

"General," the voice of the guard beside him disturbed Chi Che, and he raised his head along the way, "What's the matter?"

"There seems to be a dispute in the inner court. Shall we go in and have a look, lest those foreign ministers disturb Sheng Jia just now, and turn around and drag us down instead?"

Chi Che stood in front of the door, glanced inside, and shook his head lightly: "You are not allowed to enter until you have received the oracle."

The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes."

Having said that, Chi Che was restless all day long, he had an intuition that something happened in Changle Palace, and more importantly, it must be related to that person.Fortunately, he is usually unsmiling, but he can't see anything unusual.

At night, the moon and stars are thin, and the hustle and bustle of the day, whether it is chaos or chaos, is completely silent.A figure flashed across the dimly lit place, and quickly disappeared without a trace. When it reappeared, it was already outside the imperial city.

Chi Che followed Lin Ce when he was young, and most of all he kept his duty and was meticulous.But after getting to know that person, he would always do such things that violated the palace rules, and even violated the etiquette.He shuttled across the roof, climbed over the high courtyard wall, and came to Youfu again.

It was late at night, and everyone in the Youfu also fell asleep one after another. Only one study room revealed the glowing candlelight. Chi Che stopped outside the window. His tall figure was reflected on the window paper. He knew that the people in the room must have seen it clearly. Clearly, but did not hide his meaning.

It has been a long time since he came to this courtyard.Calculating carefully, it should have started when there was a mistress in this courtyard a few months ago, or before that, he had a dispute with that person.

He originally thought that he could obey that person in everything, and only hoped that he could get what he wanted, but he didn't expect that what that person wanted was something that he couldn't give even if he devoted his life to it.

Chi Che closed his eyes, all kinds of thoughts flooded his mind.

The next moment, the window in front of him suddenly opened from the inside, and a handsome figure stood in front of the window, his gaze fell on him, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "It's freezing outside, what are you doing standing there? My mansion is not an imperial city, so I dare not use the head of the imperial guards to protect the safety." After speaking, he took a step back and left the window open, "Come in."

Chi Che glanced at the thin robe on his body, frowned, jumped into the room after hesitating, and closed the window behind him.

You Li had already returned to the desk and sat down. Looking up, he found that Chi Che was still standing by the window with a nervous expression on his face, raising his eyebrows slightly: "I'm the only one here, and she never comes here on weekdays, so you don't have to That look."

Chi Che's eyes fell on his face, and he felt mixed feelings for a moment.The person in front of him still looks like a teenager, but he is no longer as innocent and innocent as when we first met.Occasionally, Chi Che couldn't help thinking, when did You Li become what he is today, or if he didn't know him from the beginning.

Chi Che is looking at You Li, and You Li also looks back at him.After a long time, he picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip, then slowly said: "Didn't we finish talking that day, and guard Chi said that he didn't want to be with people like me, so why did he come again in the middle of the night?" I'm coming up to the house."

Chi Che clenched his fingers, bit his lower lip: "You are responsible for the changes in Changle Palace?"

You Li squinted his eyes, and smiled softly: "Oh? What happened in Changle Palace?"

Chi Che's expression froze, and he finally shook his head: "You don't have to try to find out anything from me. It is because I don't know anything that I thought of asking you. Although I stay outside the palace gate every day, I don’t know more than you about what’s going on in the palace.”

You Li tilted his head, looked at Chi Che with a half-smile, and finally picked up the teacup and took a sip: "I really don't understand what's so good about that man, why are you one or two, Stand by him."

"I don't stand on anyone's side. It's just that I am a courtier, so I must be loyal to the emperor, love the country, and keep my duty. A gentleman does something and does not do it. You are familiar with poetry and books, and you should understand this truth better than me." Chi Che lightly Sighing softly, "I don't understand, you obviously, have enjoyed the wealth and glory that most people in this world can't see in this life, why you still..."

"I made it very clear to you that day," You Li smiled, "Most people in this world live a mediocre life. In their eyes, eating enough and clothing warm is the top priority. They see I don’t have higher glory and wealth, so I don’t have more extravagant expectations. And I, because I have seen it before, I know that people in this world are different. Only when I sit in the highest position can I do whatever I want .”

"So, what did you do to the Holy One?"

"I didn't do anything," You Li said casually, "I just thanked the Lord for the reward a few days ago, and sent some pastries to the palace. However, it is very difficult to install people in Changle Palace. After all, the guards are not willing to help I—so I don't know now whether the pastry got into his mouth, so I had to find a few people to help me find out..." He tapped his fingers on the desk twice as he spoke, "But it's still true. Useless trash, didn't find out anything, but was horrified." After speaking, he let out a disdainful chuckle.

Chi Che lowered his head and looked at his fingers. After a long while, he slowly raised his head to look at You Li: "I know I can't convince you. You've been planning for a long time, so naturally you won't change your mind because of me. It's just that the Southwest War is over. When the day comes to an end, General You will return sooner or later, when the time comes, how do you plan to explain to him?" Chi Che let out a soft sigh, "It's not that you don't know his relationship with the Holy One, but you still want to seek it. Your Majesty's throne, and even poisoning His Majesty, how do you plan to face General You at that time? You keep admiring him and respecting him, but what kind of situation do you put him in?"

"My uncle has a great talent, but he has been confused for so many years because of that person. When I get rid of that person, my uncle will wake up." You Li chuckled, "The secret letter that person sent to the southwest has been sent by me. Although the war in the southwest has come to an end, it will take more than a month for my uncle to return to the capital. By then, everything in the capital will be cleaned up. What uncle can see is only what I want I showed him. As long as that person is gone, I will always have a way to convince my uncle to make this world my home. "

Speaking of this, You Li suddenly took a look at Chi Che: "Or, the guard Chi is loyal to the king and serving the country, so he plans to tell my uncle the truth when he returns, so that our uncle and nephew will turn against each other?"

Chi Che's throat was choked, he clenched his fists, looked back at You Li, and shook his head gently after a while: "I won't do that."

He has no way to abandon his principles and bottom line and stand in the same camp as You Li, and help him do things that violate the etiquette. Similarly, he has no way to completely stand on the opposite side of You Li, and put You Li in a situation of eternal doom.

After he learned about You Li's ambition that day, he had two paths before him, either ignore it and perish together with You Li, or resolutely sever ties with You Li and completely stand on the side of his family, country and world, and even one day in the future. The day turned against it.

Unfortunately, he didn't do it.

This may be his retribution.

Chi Che got up slowly, stood in front of the desk, looked down at You Li who was sitting inside, all kinds of emotions flashed through his eyes, and finally he just said slowly: "Even General You can't let you stop, I It's useless to say anything else. Since this is the case, we can only go here." After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to You Li, "I can't wish you success, but I can only wish you peace."

You Li leaned on the back of the chair, raised his chin slightly, looked at Chi Che without blinking, and finally smiled softly: "That's thanks to the guard Chi."

Chi Che took one last look at You Li, stretched out his hand to open the window, and disappeared into the vast night.

You Li stood in front of the open window for a long time before stretching out his hand and slowly closing the window.

Chi Che walked quickly in the night, and didn't stop until he saw the majestic palace wall.He casually climbed onto a roof and sat on it for a long time looking at the imperial city not far away.

When he was young, he was sent to King Han's mansion to protect King Han's safety. Later, King Han stood out among the many descendants of the former emperor and became the emperor, and finally became the lord of the world.And he has also changed from the soft-spoken guard of the Han Palace to the leader of the imperial guards. For several years, he has been dedicated to guarding the safety of the imperial city, and even more so, the safety of the current emperor is regarded as the most important thing.

But he never imagined that one day, someone would poison the Holy Spirit from under his nose.What was even more unexpected was that he would know who the murderer was, but he would have nothing to do with him.

From the moment he realized that he was thinking about Yu Li, he knew that it was impossible for him and Yu Li.Although he knew that men and men could be together in this world, this kind of thing would not happen to him.Not to mention the obstacles of status, the most important thing is that he likes that person without a little bit of himself in his heart.

But he still couldn't help himself.

If You Li is always that innocent young master, as long as he goes to You Mansion, he can meet him, as long as he can occasionally drink tea and enjoy flowers together as in the past, and ride horses out of the city together.Even if You Li will marry a wife and have children sooner or later, as long as his life can be safe and smooth, and he will be happy without any worries. If Chi Che guards this deep affection and looks at him from afar, he will feel that this life has no regrets.

But why...

Chi Che didn't know if this was a trick of fortune.

He closed his eyes slightly, reached into his bosom, took out a kit, held the kit firmly in his palm, and let out a soft sigh.

That was the only thing in his body that was related to that person, and it was also the only private thought that he had known that person for so long—that day he watched You Li write this poem with his own eyes, and put it in the folder he wanted to give to him. In Miss Sun's letter, it was quietly stolen out like a ghost possessed.

He carried this kit with him all day long, but he clearly understood that, like his feelings, this kit would never be revealed.

Morning light gradually appeared in the sky, Chi Che regained consciousness from the memory, and put the kit back into his arms.He stood up and looked at the palace wall not far away.It will be dawn, and he should go back.No matter what happened in the Changle Palace, and no matter whether You Li could realize his long-cherished wish in the end, he still wanted to return to the deep palace.

He hesitated until today, and there is no way to turn back.

Chi Che let out a soft sigh in the night sky, and jumped into the palace wall.
