The child was heavy in his arms, and Jin Zhao couldn't help but said, "Yinyin, I never thought you could give birth to such a fat boy with such a thin body."

Cui Yinyin froze for a moment, then said in a bad mood: "Brother, what a fat boy, he is a girl."

"Huh?" Jin Zhao reacted for a moment, and Shen Li next to him answered, "Is there a brother who doesn't care about you?"

Jin Zhao hurriedly said with a smile: "It's really... this child is too heavy, the weight really doesn't look like a girl's!"

Qi Siyun, who was standing by the side, glanced at him silently, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

"I... made up so well at the time that... it was almost difficult to give birth. I didn't expect that the person who was so noisy in my belly... was a girl." Cui Yinyin also laughed.

For a moment, the people in the courtyard laughed together, harmonious and warm.

After another half month, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Shen left the court.

In Chaohe Hall, civil and military officials stood in the queue one after another, following the eunuch's long cry "The emperor is here"!The hall suddenly fell silent.

I saw Shen Ye wearing a yellow robe and a crown on his head, stepping up to the middle position step by step.

All the ministers bowed down at the right time. At this moment, they welcomed the Great Liang's new generation of emperors, and no one dared to mention the old emperor who hadn't appeared for a long time.

Shen Li left the extremely quiet palace, and heard his wind-swept cough from afar.

"Ninth brother, you are here."

Shen Li didn't say anything immediately, but walked straight in front of him.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhui had long lost his former vigor, and was weak and weak, as if he had gone through all the vicissitudes.

"Third brother...how is your body?" Shen Li stood in front of him, and said without any disturbance in his tone.

Emperor Xuanhui took off his yellow robe, and only wore a simple outer robe. His hair was gray, and a few strands fell from his temples in a mess.

He raised his eyes slowly, and laughed as if mocking himself, "Didn't you see it all?"

There are only simple decorations in the palace, tea and meals are also placed, but it seems that they have not been touched.

"Third brother was still strong before, why suddenly..."

Emperor Xuanhui: "It's not an exaggeration to say that the world is unpredictable, the previous appearance... I just pretended."

Shen Li frowned slightly, "What does third brother mean by that?"

"In order to let me be a puppet in her hands, my mother secretly gave me chronic poison long ago. It doesn't show anything on the surface, but... my body will become weaker and weaker." His tone was flat, likeIt's stating something about someone else.

"After all, you are her son, how can she do it?"

Emperor Xuanhui smiled vainly and said: "She... only has Shen Qi as a son in her heart from the beginning to the end, and I... am nothing."

"Then you can find a way to heal before you find out that she planted poison on you."

"It's too late. It's not an ordinary poison. Once it's infected...it won't be easy to quit. Why didn't I go to someone for treatment, but...the process is too long and not easy."

When Shen Li was about to say something more, Emperor Xuanhui said first: "You...why do you want to come to see me today, isn't today...the day of the crown prince's enthronement?"

"I'm done with my work over there, and I'm still idle when I'm idle." Shen Li said indifferently.

Emperor Xuanhui sighed, stared at him for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "Ninth brother, I realized... I never really understood you."

"To be honest, I thought you coveted the throne before, so I always wanted to find a way to get rid of you, but now... With your means, I believe that the crown prince is naturally no match for you, but now you let him ascend the throne smoothly.Emperor, what on earth are you thinking?"

Shen Li smiled lightly and said: "At first I had the idea of winning the throne, but in the end...the more interesting I felt, and...I found something more interesting than the throne, it seemed that the throne was even more worthless."

"you……"

"Third brother, it has become like this...do you regret it?" Shen Li asked instead.

Emperor Xuanhui: "There is nothing to regret. I have been in that position for so many years, being controlled by others all the time. My mother...is still planning on me like that, but I can't go against her blatantly.To end up with a reputation of being disloyal and unfilial, now... the dust has settled, and I can be regarded as... relieved."

"So you use everyone around you to help you get rid of the Empress Dowager... and everyone who threatens the court?"

Emperor Xuanhui didn't deny it, "Although... that child Shen Ye has hatred for me, but he is still the most suitable person to sit in that position among the princes, so let's clear the obstacles for him."

Shen Li was silent for a long time, and in the end he just said lightly: "It's getting cold, third brother...be careful to keep warm, don't get cold, let's settle down earlier."

After finishing speaking, he left the silent and desolate palace without looking back.

Emperor Xuanhui leaned helplessly on the couch, looking at the figure that was fading away, he suddenly felt... this Ninth Brother that he never got used to... the haze on his body turned into a bright halo instead, soThe halo is something he will never be able to chase.

However, as soon as Shen Li returned to the mansion, he saw a person lying quietly on the recliner in the courtyard.

The afternoon sun was very bright, he closed his eyes and looked very peaceful, but he still held a jade hairpin in his hand.

Shen Li's steps were trembling, but he still walked in that direction.

He squatted beside the man, stretched out his fingers and gently traced the unremarkable face.

"Today... everything is settled. In the future, the two of us can be together without any scruples."

The person on the recliner still didn't respond, as if he was in a deep sleep.

If you look closely, you will find that Shen Li's eyelashes are trembling slightly, and even his knuckles are turning blue and white.

He slowly pressed his cheek to his (Zhao) face, with a soft curve around his lips.

I don't know how long this posture was maintained until Gui Yun walked up to him with a letter.

"Master, this is... General Cui asked me to give it to you."

Shen Li lowered his voice and said: "Shhh, don't make noise, he can finally rest for a while."

Gui Yun's expression was a bit unbearable, but he still lowered his voice: "Before...he deliberately dismissed you, and didn't want you to..." Seeing how he left in the end, he felt sad...

"You knew about him early on..." Gui Yun's eyes flashed with surprise.

He still remembered the conversation with General Cui in the corner. After returning to the room, the master was the same, but after that...everything followed General Cui, and he had never seen such a gentle master.

Even when General Cui's memory was gradually degrading, he kept going along, and what General Cui said was what he said.

In fact, the master knew that General Cui's life was not long, but he still stayed by his side without any abnormality.

Shen Li's complexion was so pale and transparent, "Actually, we have had a relatively happy time. I still have...what's not to be satisfied with?"
