Chapter 112 3
Li Yuanji looked straight at me with a proud smile, as if laughing at me for being an inadvertently an accomplice. I was the one who contributed to their plan, and if I talked about Zhang Meiyi, she would definitely deny it, and then I would ask for trouble. I was really embarrassed. I gritted my teeth and said nothing. Li Shimin pulled me behind him from the side and said to Li Yuanji, "It's right to work for the people. My father punished me so much, which is also a favor for me."
Li Yuanji retreated with a smile and said, "Then the second brother will prepare well, and the younger brother will leave."
Li Yuanji left and threw down his long footprints in the snow. I felt uncomfortable and lowered my head and didn't say anything. Li Shimin hugged me gently, and I couldn't help crying. He patted me on the back and comforted me softly: "Don't think too much. No matter what you do or what I do, their purpose will not change.
With tears in my eyes, I nodded gently. He turned around and mentioned the pot of Mengding tea and tasted it. He nodded and praised my tea-making skills. I watched him be distracted, and his sadness and guilt were stimulated. He looked at my sad eyes and sighed, holding the teacup and smiling lightly.
"Yi Ran, you haven't tasted tea with me once." He made two cups of hot tea and held one for me. I stared at the steaming teapot on the desk, and then at the teacup waiting to be picked up in his hand, and reached out. I don't want this Mengding tea to become a farewell tea.
Probably he was worried about Li Shimin, afraid that he would suddenly make an excuse to go. At night, Li Yuan's imperial edict was suppressed. When receiving the imperial edict, the people in the temple were shocked by the sudden news. Everyone knew that the south was now poor with heavy snow, which was really not a good place. At this time, only Li Shimin and I looked calm. He received the imperial edict and sat in the main hall to say a few words before leaving.
He asked Princess Qin to take care of the inside and outside of Chengqian Hall and asked Concubine Yang to help. He said a few words of instructions to Wei, Yan Jingwen, Wenizi and Muyan, but he didn't talk to me. I was reluctant to give up. I looked up at him, and he was also turning his eyes to me. During this time, his eyes flowed, and thousands of words turned into a bitter smile.
In the morning of the second day, Li Shimin set off. I'm in a bad mood. Although it was the coldest when the snow bloomed, I still insisted on walking outside the hall. There was no sun on this day, the sky was cloudy, and the snow on the ground was slow but cold. I sucked the cold air and my stomach was also cold.
A figure came from the front road. I looked up and saw that it was Li Jiancheng. He smiled at me and didn't mean to go out. He came to me.
I called the maid behind me, and Li Jiancheng walked slowly beside me. The palace people on the road did not dare to look up for fear of something bad. Now I am Zhaoxun of Chengqian Hall. He is the prince of the East Palace. There were some rumors between us in the palace. These people dare not peep at us and are afraid of losing their lives.
And it must not be as simple for him to find me. We walked to an empty garden, and I stood without saying anything, just waiting for him to speak first. His eyes were from shallow to deep, and he suddenly stepped forward and held my hand in the palm of his hand. I hurried to take it back, but he grasped it tightly with strength. I said solemnly, "Prince, I am now a member of Chengqian Hall!"
Li Jiancheng smiled reluctantly and his eyes were extremely firm: "So what? I gave it to him, but I regret it."
I was a little angry, and I said angrily, "Do you know the consequences of these words being heard today?"
Li Jiancheng said, "I'm not afraid." You're not afraid, I'm afraid! Do you know that I'm afraid that he will know that I'll see you again. I'm afraid that he will be disappointed in me. I'm afraid that he won't believe me. I took his words and said indignantly, indicating how worried and angry I was. The loss spread from his eyes, which was very sad. He looked stiff. He never saw me so angry and impatient. I felt guilty and avoided his sad eyes. As if he had immersed all the words in his chest, he asked, "Have you ever been moved by me?"
This should be what he wants to know most. In fact, I have secretly answered him several times, but he doesn't want to believe it. He is willing to deceive himself. Although I feel too guilty about him and make myself feel uncomfortable, this time I must also tell the truth: "In the past, I was once moved by you, and I thought it would be good to live with you. It's just a pity that I can't tolerate your betrayal at all. Maybe this is just an excuse for me to leave you, and I was just with you with a purpose. I feel differently about him. I tolerate him, forgive him, fear him leave, and want to get to know him. Although it's painful, I just love him without hesitation!"
Li Jiancheng has let go of my hand and gradually faded the light in his eyes, and his sadness flashed: "The moth flies to the fire... In this way, you are too wronged yourself."
I shook my head with a smile: "I never feel wronged. When I was with him, I was really happy and painful, so I felt that life was the most real.
Li Jiancheng looked at me and was a little depressed: "It's only when I think of him that you laugh the most. I have never seen such a comfortable smile from you. Suddenly, the pain came out, and he smiled with tears, "Do you know that I'm saving you?"
I smiled dumbly, glanced at him disdainfully, and turned to look at the camellia that was yellowed by the snow in the cold wind. If you think I'm greedy and afraid of death and hide behind you, I don't deserve you; if I follow other men, I don't deserve you. I'm his man, with life and death. I stroked the snow on the petals. If something happened to Li Shimin, I would not forgive everything Li Jiancheng put on.
Li Jiancheng turned to stand in front of me, separated by a cold black tea flower. I didn't go to see him, but I still stroked the camellia on the branch slowly, and then I heard a firm sentence: "I won't let you die!" Remember, when I get the throne, you are mine!"
He took off the black tea flower from the branch and pinched it between his fingers and resolutely left. I finally dragged down the disdainful face and watched him walk away silently. I was afraid that I would be too sad and the more he would not let go, but I was still wrong. No matter what I did, I could not change the decision in his heart. So is Li Shimin.
Since then, I have felt bad in my heart, and I was restless when I returned to the hall. Qin Shubao followed Li Shimin to the south, and I could only call someone to find Xue Wanjun.
"General Xue, do you think His Royal Highness the King of Qin has great kindness to you?" Xue Wantong came, and I asked him that his younger brother Xue Wanche in the East Palace was really a big obstacle.
Xue Wanjun replied without hesitation: "The last general is loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Qin and has no two hearts!"
I asked again, "I believe you have understood the relationship between Chengqian Hall and the East Palace. If one day you want to draw your brother Xue Wanche, what will you do?"
This question is too cruel, but I have to ask. Xue Wanjun paused his look and lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Do your best to live up to your brothers, worthy of your Highness."
It seems that the two of them expected to know that there would be such a situation, so they had promised each other for a long time. I was much more suspicious. I was afraid that he would misunderstand that Li Shimin suspected him. I explained, "Today's question is all my own idea. The reason is that I want General Xue to do Chengqian Hall a favor." Xue Wanjun raised his eyes and listened with his fists. I whispered to him, "Secretly observe the movement of the East Palace and return immediately if you feel abnormal. Although this is a decision I made alone, I will bear it for any accidents!"
Xue Wanjun moved on his face. Obviously, he knew my worries. He hugged his fist and said, "This matter is about Chengqian Hall, and he will do his best at the end. Mo Zhaoxun doesn't have to worry about secular opinions, and the last general will admire your courage and caution.
I felt calm in my heart, and I nod with a smile and saw him leave.
The next day, Xue Wanjun asked to see him. I retreated from the people in the hall and waited for him to speak. He took out an envelope from his sleeve and gave it to me, which said: Tian Ce Mansion.
It turned out that Xue Wanjun secretly found someone in the East Palace who was about to leave the palace, and he felt suspicious and followed him. At that time, it was already evening. The man got off his horse and looked for a nearby inn to stay. Xue Wanjun took advantage of this to secretly search for this letter to Luoyang Tiance Mansion.
I opened the envelope and said in the letter with Li Shimin's signature that the court was dissatisfied with him and he had to fight back. Now Tiance Mansion recruits officials, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Hongfu, Chai Shao, Luo Shixin and others gathered troops against the DPRK to help seize power.
It is true that Li Shimin wants to get the highest position, but he will not seize the position in this way at this time. Isn't it frivolous and stupid? Moreover, the notes written are only three or four points, which clearly means that someone pretends to mess up the Tiance Mansion and the world in the Tiance Mansion. And the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the East Palace where this letter came out.
Donggong has planned everything since he asked Zhang Meiyi to come to me. If Li Yuan severely punished Li Shimin and transferred his power to his ministers because of Princess Pingyang's letter, this would be a conspiracy. If not, let Li Shimin leave the palace. The snow disaster in the south is very serious. It would be their luck if Li Shimin could suffer a misfortune in this snow disaster. In addition, he messed up his Tiance Mansion in Luoyang and faked his order to oppose the court. In this way, not only Li Shimin was damaged, but also the forces behind him and Li Yuan's trust will be blown out in one fell swoop!
What a multi-measure, such a stone-stone bird!
Thinking carefully, it was not yet dawn outside the window. I folded the letter and handed it to Xue Wanjun: "They should not have found that the letter was lost. Please send it back quickly."
When reading the letter before, Xue Wanjun had guessed one or two from my look and asked doubtfully, "It's not easy to rob this letter, and it's not a good thing. Why do you send it to Tiance Mansion?"
I explained: "If you don't send it there, no news from Tiance Mansion will make Donggong suspicious, so I will think of another way. The fact that we uncovered this plan does not mean that we can uncover the following plan one after another. If you can't take risks, then make a plan.
"Do you want to make a plan?" Xue Wanjun muttered and gradually became happy, "Mo Zhaoxun came up with a good idea?"
"make fakes." I turned around with a smile and stood at the desk and began to study ink. I often practice writing, and I don't want to use it at this time. Now my words are seven or eight similar to Li Shimin. I dropped a few lines of words on the letter paper with Li Shimin's signature and stuffed it into another envelope and handed it to Xue Wanjun. "If the letter is sent half a day, all problems will be solved."
This time, I will not only let Li Shimin get through this pass safely, but also let the East Palace show his feet and learn a lesson. I am from Chengqian Hall, so I must think about Chengqian Hall. I want those people to know that I want to fight with Chengqian Hall, not just Li Shimin. If I have the ability, I will convince everyone here!
