Gathering away from the wilderness.

Perhaps it is because of the reason why it is in the valley, it is colder here than outside.

Especially on this autumn rainy night.

So, Lin Xueer ignited the charcoal sent by Xiao Wu and carried the charcoal basin to the second floor of the main building.

This is Zhongli Ruoshui in this boudoir.

The boudoir is very spacious. One side facing the window is a tea table carved from pear blossoms and wood, and two people sit in front of the tea table.

One is Zhongli Ruoshui.

The other one is Fan Taohua!

At this moment, Fan Taohua looked at Zhongli Ruoshui with a kind face and asked, "The weather is getting colder, why not close the window?"

The windows on three sides of the boudoir are all open.

There is autumn rain entering the window and autumn wind passing through the hall, so it becomes a little colder.

Zhongli Ruoshui poured a cup of tea for grandma, handed it over, and smiled slightly, "It was originally closed, I opened it all."

Fan Taohua's gray eyebrows slightly raised, "Why?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shyly lowered his head, "Because the window is open, the light outside will be brighter...it can guide him back."

Fan Taohua took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, picked up the teacup, pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes to Zhongli Ruoshui, "Didn't you tell him?"

"Grandma thought you would tell him."

Zhongli Ruoshui pursed her lips and raised her eyes toward the window.

"I wanted to tell him, but I couldn't say it when I got to my mouth."

"I, I probably hope that such a wonderful day can last a few more days."

Fan Taohua took a sip of tea, got up, turned around, and looked out the window.

Outside the window is the Yunshui Mountains.

However, the Yunshui Mountains were hidden in the night at this time and could not be seen.

"Since that's the case, why didn't you go to the literary world to see him for a second?"

Zhongli Ruoshui felt a sudden shock. She looked up at Fan Taohua's back in horror, and hesitated for a moment before asking: "So... he really has to die tonight?"

Fan Taohua turned around and sat opposite Zhongli Ruoshui again.

Her expression became serious, and even the originally kind light in her eyes was sharper.

"If your disease is still saved, grandma will never let him die for you!"

"But... Ruoshui, you already know your situation. Grandma is thinking, since you are going to be a boy in front of the Bodhisattva, why should he, Li Chen'an, still live in this world?"

Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Fan Taohua's gaze and kept it going. After ten breaths, she asked, "So, in your eyes, he is really a chess piece?"

"Duke Cheng invited him to the mansion and said he wanted to recommend him to the court as an official. Is this fake?"

"When His Highness saw him, he invited him to have lunch together. He said so many words to admire him, is it also false?"

"Even Mr. Changsun of the Imperial City Department sends him out personally, is this fake?"

Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly stood up and his eyes condensed, "No wonder his mother has never caused trouble for him these days. By the way, you called Zhou Huairen to the Hou Mansion. I think you have obtained the method of making his magical artifact, so he lost the meaning of existence and could give up?"

Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly laughed, but this smile was even colder than the autumn rain outside the window.

"I'm dead, I've accepted my fate!"

"But I love him deeply!"

"So I hope he can live happily!"

"Life for me!"

"For me, the changes in this world and the beauty of these four seasons."

"I thought you would definitely help him, but I never expected... You would even regard him as a pawn, or an abandoned piece!"

"Since he is going to die tonight, why should I live until dawn?"

Zhongli Ruoshui turned around and left.

Fan Taohua frowned and said, "Stop!"

Zhongli Ruoshui stopped and Fan Taohua's voice came from behind:

"If Li Chenan really helps destroy the Yulong Club headquarters tonight, do you know what will happen to Kyoto tomorrow morning?"

"The matter of Zhongli's family moving to Shuzhou has only been halfway through, and it will take three to five years!"

"So, the overall situation now is the stability of Kyoto, and both sides maintain restraint!"

"Ji Tai knows the layout of Zhongli's home in Shuzhou, but he has not stopped him. Do you know why?"

Of course, Zhongli Ruoshui did not answer, and Fan Taohua didn't expect her to answer, and said again:

"Because in Ji Tailai and Zhongli's mansion went to Shuzhou, it would be easier for him to support the second prince ascend the throne to the emperor!"

"While Shuzhou is remote and bitter and cold, that place is not important to Ji Tai or the second prince."

"So Ji Tai is waiting for the past few years, waiting for all the people in the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto to leave."

"What he needs is a Ningguo that is smoothly handed over to the second prince, rather than the Ningguo that has been riddled with holes after years of war!"

"So, this balance cannot be broken now!"

Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly turned around, "So for the sake of what you call the overall situation and the interests of Zhongli's mansion, should Li Chenan die?"

"Since you think so, why not say it earlier?"

"If you said it earlier, I wouldn't have allowed him to come to Kyoto. He wouldn't have participated in all the messy things of you. Why would he lose his life now!"

"He is facing the students of Yue alone for you!"

"It was for you that he promised to stay in Kyoto and even enter the temple!"

"This is my fault!"

"I trust you too much."

"And you... are no longer the grandma I once had my own opinion in my heart!"

Zhongli Ruoshui turned around and took steps, but did not stop.

She walked out of the room, hurriedly took a lantern and went downstairs.

A gust of wind passed, and her eyes suddenly turned black and the lantern in her hand slid from her hands.

But he did not fall to the ground, but was caught by someone.

This is an old man.

He is Sikong Bao!

He carried Zhongli Ruoshui to the second floor, placed it on the bed, and carefully covered it with a quilt, then stood in front of Fan Taohua.

"Li Chen'an, is he the son of Princess Yun'an?"

"……no!"

"Since the Treasure Pavilion in the palace has those two medicines, since those two medicines can last for two or three years, with your nature, you should rob it even if you go to rob it. If you really rob it, even if the emperor knows, he will not do anything to you."

"But why didn't you grab it?"

"I am old, as Ruoshui said, I am no longer the Fan Taohua who has his own opinions!"

Fan Taohua seems to have become much older at this moment.

Her body was a little hunched.

The spirit on her face was also a little depressed.

She slowly walked to the tea table and slowly sat down with her hands.

"Zhongli Mansion... In Zhongli Mansion, I have 63 descendants, many servants who are dependent on Zhongli Mansion, and 30,000 Shenwu Army soldiers who are loyal to Zhongli Mansion."

"I'm not chasing my life, but... I hope all of these people can live, including you."

The old man looked at Fan Taohua carefully and suddenly grinned, "You are indeed old!"

"Wen Zhuoyu is right."

Fan Taohua looked up and asked, "What did he say?"

"He said... you put down the sword you are best at, but you use the scheming you are not good at. Therefore, Li Chen'an's death... is really a bit unfair!"

"He also said that Li Chenan would not die tonight."

“Why?”

"Because there are still people who don't want him to die, such as... Changsun Jinghong!"
