The Queen had also been the king of a country for nearly twenty years. After thinking about it for a moment, she understood the profound meaning of Liu Dashao's words.
The Queen raised her slender hand to signal to the sisters, then she walked to Young Master Liu's side and stopped beside her.
Turning her head slightly and glancing at Young Master Liu, who was looking quietly at the flower garden in front of her with a complicated look on her face, the Queen squatted down holding the hem of Yun Yanshang's skirt.
"Heartless."
Hearing the Queen greeting him, Young Master Liu came back to his senses and lowered his head to look at the Queen squatting next to the flower garden.
"Um?"
"If you have no conscience, it is inevitable for something like this to happen.
It is not just the current Dalong New Dynasty that such a thing will happen.
The same was true for the Great Dragon, the Jin Kingdom, and the Turkic Royal Court in the past.
There are over a hundred people, all kinds of people.
There are white people and black people in the world, how can they all be good people?
You were the one who told Wanyuan about this truth at the beginning.
How come now, you have forgotten it?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard the Queen's words of persuasion, he squinted his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then sighed heavily.
"Yes, I told you this truth back then, Wanyan, but why have I forgotten it now?
Perhaps, this is the so-called obsession with the authorities, and it will be clear to those on the lookout.”
The Queen raised her head and glanced at Young Master Liu. Seeing that his expression had improved, she smiled slightly and stretched out her hands.
Under Young Master Liu's surprised gaze, the Queen leaned against Liu's waist and first pulled off a withered flower from the flower bed, then stood up and walked to the side, pulling off the branches and leaves of a four-season green.
The Queen raised her hands with a smile, casually compared the two flowers and plants in her hands, raised her lotus feet and walked in front of Young Master Liu.
"Heartless, na!"
Young Master Liu noticed the Queen's seemingly thoughtful gaze, took a puff of the dry cigarette in his hand, and silently looked at the two flowers and plants in her hand.
After quietly staring at the two flowers and plants in the Queen's hands for a long time, Liu Mingzhi vaguely understood the profound meaning of the Queen's move.
The Queen saw Young Master Liu's look of enlightenment, and her stunning face suddenly revealed a smile as charming as a flower.
"Heartless, it seems you have understood what Wan Yan wants to express."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and blew out the light smoke in his mouth, looking at the queen and nodded gently.
"I understand, I understand. However, my husband's heart is still somewhat difficult to calm down.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye since my husband established the new dynasty.
In the past six years or so, as my husband, I have always advocated benevolent governance and have never engaged in any harsh governance.
When it comes to court officials, a husband should be as tolerant as possible, as much as possible.
Husband can say with conscience, I am not unkind to them!
However, something like this still happened.
What if, it was just corruption and bribery that happened.
Although my husband is angry, he will not be so angry.
However, they actually committed the abominable act of bending the law for personal gain and disregarding human life.
Such evil behavior has completely touched the bottom line of my husband's heart.
If you don't kill such evil deeds, it won't make the people angry, and if you don't kill, it won't calm people's hearts.
If you don't kill, the anger in your husband's heart will never go away."
Listening to Young Master Liu's murderous tone, the Queen pursed her lips and shook her head a few times, frowning and sighing.
"Yes, you are heartless and you have indeed treated them badly.
It’s a pity that people’s hearts are as deep as the ocean, and the ravines are difficult to level!”
Liu Mingzhi took a long puff of dry cigarette, leaned over and knocked out the burnt ashes on the soles of his feet.
Young Master Liu straightened his body, raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace with deep eyes.
"Officials from the state capital below have appeared and disappointed my husband.
I just don’t know if among the civil and military officials above the court, there are some people who have disappointed my husband!”
The Queen followed Young Master Liu's gaze and looked in the direction of the palace. She narrowed her eyes for a long time and handed the two flowers and plants in her hand to him with a faint smile.
"Whether or not, it doesn't matter.
Today's flowers have withered, but next year new flowers will bloom.
As long as there are evergreens in the garden.
A garden is still a garden.
The flowers that wither every year are no longer bright and pleasing to the eye.
However, as long as the owner of the garden doesn't like it, they will become worthless in an instant.
Even, it will completely disappear in the entire garden.
But Sijiqing is different. They are evergreen trees that embellish the entire garden.
It is also the backbone supporting the garden.
So what if the flowers are bright? They are just more beautiful flesh and blood.
As long as the backbone of the garden remains, the garden will not fall.
but……"
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze from looking at the palace, and looked calmly at the queen standing next to him.
"But what?"
The Queen turned her waist and scanned the flower garden for a week. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and she breathed a sigh of relief, then she casually stuffed the branches and leaves of Sijiqing into Young Master Liu's palm.
"However, these four-season greens in our garden seem to be a bit old after so many years.
Wanyan thinks that in a year or two, it will be time to replace them."
As the Queen spoke, she looked at the branches and leaves of Sijiqing in Young Master Liu's hand with a smile, and gestured with her lips.
"You're heartless, it's been too long.
After all, the branches and leaves of the Four Seasons Green no longer look as lush as before.
What do you think is the reason for this?"
After listening to the Queen's words, Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and looked at the branches and leaves of Sijiqing in his hand, then turned his head and glanced at the flower bed a few steps away.
After a long time, Young Master Liu looked back at the branches and leaves in his hand, and turned them around a few times with a chuckle.
“The deeper the roots are, the denser they become.
The branches and leaves seem not as lush as before, but they are also stronger."
"So, should I change it or not?"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a long time with his brow furrowed, then flicked the branches and leaves in his hand into the flowerbed a few steps away.
"After all, after raising her for so many years, I have some feelings for her.
I rashly replaced it with a new batch of flowers and plants, which made my husband feel a little uncomfortable."
"Wanyuan feels the same way in her heart. After growing flowers and plants for so many years, she naturally has feelings for them.
However, no matter how emotional you are, there is one thing you have to consider.
That is, there are only so many nutrients in the garden.
As time goes by, their foundations become denser and denser.
If this continues, it will be difficult for other flowers to absorb nutrients.
Without enough nutrients, how can new flowers grow into evergreen trees that last all year round?"
To be continued...
