Chapter 127 Xuanwu Gate 1
This day, I lived in chaos and there were too many things I didn't understand.
At night, Li Jiancheng quickly came from the outside and said that he wanted to calm down in this hall. He said to the hall, "As long as Yunshang serves here, the rest should retreat." I know he has something to say to me, but I have been confused for a long time. When the maid of honor retreated, I still said to him first, "The stand-in you found for me... is dead!"
"I know." Li Jiancheng was not surprised and still drank a few sippings of tea. Either he heard about it earlier, or he arranged it. But that person was found to replace me. How could he be sick? If Li Shimin found that he killed her, Li Jiancheng should not be so calm. So...
I suddenly realized that I was angry with him and said, "Why did you do this? She is the person who does things for you and lives!"
Li Jiancheng said, "She must die!"
The deepening of the conflict between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng also has also my "merit". If I die, it will not only reduce the unnecessary trouble that may be caused in the future, but also Li Yuan's intention has been achieved and will no longer look at me. I'm afraid this is also the cleanest relief for me. I'm still alive when I'm dead. Li Jiancheng's trip is completely for me! It turned out that one of my freedoms was exchanged for blood.
Li Jiancheng pulled me down and said seriously, "Today I'm here to tell you that you can leave tomorrow. I have done everything I need, and I will take you out of the suburbs of Chang'an at dawn tomorrow morning.
did not remind before that today's notice seemed too hasty, perhaps because it was an escape. Since he has prepared everything, I don't think much about it. It's just that his heart suddenly gushed out of reluctance, and he felt more and more sad after Li Jiancheng's instructions. Li Jiancheng told the people of the palace that I would watch the night alone in the hall tonight, just so that I could rest quietly, but in this empty hall, far less than the hall of Chengqian Hall, which made me feel cold and full.
At dawn the next day, Li Jiancheng sent someone to take Zhou Molan and I to the back door of the palace. He was already waiting for me in front of the carriage. We didn't say anything. When he ordered to leave, I was still pretending to be a maid beside him. I sat outside the carriage with Zhou Molan with a low face, and kept scolding the sound of the eunuch whipping the horse, which was really harsh. The guard guarding the palace gate saw that it was the prince and only asked when he came back and let him go. As soon as I got outside, Li Jiancheng called me in. He motioned me to sit next to him. I only chose the cushion on the other side to sit, thinking about how to say goodbye to him.
At this time, a wooden sign moved in front of his eyes, with several deep words on it. This is the token of the Wuling Hall in the south, and the master of the hall is the old time I recognized during the war. If you can't find a stable place, you can take the token to find him first. When he sees this, he will know that he is on my side and will protect and take good care of you. Li Jiancheng held my hand and put the token in my palm, and his eyes closed. Recently, his face is not good. At this time, his eyelids seem to be very heavy, and his eyes are also a little tired.
I held his shaking arm: "Is the prince tired?"
Li Jiancheng put his hand on his forehead and said, "I'm a little tired these days."
I said, "You don't look well. I'm afraid you haven't slept well for a few nights, and you are busy with things during the day. How can you be energetic enough? Why don't you take a nap and call you when it arrives?
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "But I won't see you in the future."
I held the token he just gave me: "Do you really think so? Didn't you give me this token to pass on my message to you by your friend?
His eyes turned and hesitated, and Li Jiancheng laughed: "It's really embarrassing for you to see through this little thought."
I put away the token and said seriously, "I understand the meaning of the prince. You'd better take a break, or I'll feel uneasy."
Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and finally nodded with a smile. He raised his head and closed his eyes. After a while, his face gradually calmed down, but his eyebrows were always twisted, and the carriages and horses were bumpy, so he couldn't sleep steadily. I lifted the curtain a little and looked away. The carriage had arrived in the suburbs of Chang'an. There was a thunderstorm last night, and the road looked muddy and potholes. The carriage shook from side to side, and an oblique tilt shook the carriage severely. I grabbed the cushion to stabilize my body, and the unprepared Li Jiancheng was tilted aside by this. I quickly opened my hand to help, and Li Jiancheng also held his hand against the carriage, which saved an accident.
The eunuch who was driving obviously sensed the movement inside and quickly slowed down the car, which stabilized a little. Li Jiancheng was obviously a little annoyed by the sudden bumps, but he could not complain about the mud road after the rain. The fatigue did not dissipate. He lowered his head and leaned on my shoulder and breathed on my neck. I turned my head and looked at him. He leaned quietly with his eyes closed, and now he looked like a dependent child.
At this time, I found that there was a piece of ink paper sandwiched between the cushions, and a corner was still hidden in Li Jiancheng's sleeve. The paper was not thick. From the paper turned over, I suddenly saw the word "King of Qin" and my heart thumped. Seeing that Li Jiancheng was not awake, I quietly took the ink paper to look at it.
This is a record of the Wucheng War Report, but after a rough look, the whole text is not the specific situation of the War Report. I read every line of text doubtfully, and the more I go down, the more I am awakened. This war report carried by Li Jiancheng is a top-secret plan, and it is Li Shimin who points directly at it! Looking back on my current cause and effect, I'm afraid it has something to do with it.
I folded this war report and stuffed it into Li Jiancheng's hands. Li Jiancheng woke up from a nap and looked down at the ink paper in his hand. He was surprised for a moment. I should thank him for trusting me so much, so I lowered my guard. In this way, I'm really sinister to peek at his secret strategy. And how can he and I really let me go?
My heart suddenly cooled, and I smiled bitterly: "The prince is in a hurry to send me out, not only to completely let me die in the eyes of others, but also just in case, but also afraid that I will intervene." Li Jiancheng squeezed his lips and silently stuffed the war report into his sleeve pocket. I'm not angry, because the people I love deeply don't plan him like this, and they don't always think about their own general trend. They are all the same. But my heart is cold. After all, I can't occupy half of the place in anyone's heart. I continued bitterly, just to spit out my unhappiness: "Let Mo Xiran of Chengqian Hall die and let me leave, not only to deceive those people, but also to let me go, but also to let me go, and most importantly, for yourself. His Royal Highness is still resourceful and extremely intelligent!"
Li Jiancheng smiled and his eyes were so sad and gentle: "Really? You're not bad either. What else do you see?
I said coldly: "The news of the battle in Wucheng spread to Chang'an. It was originally an ordinary information, but you used it to suggest to the emperor that the king of Qi go to Wucheng as the marshal to reinforce the marshal of the army. I'm afraid that this secret strategy will never know."
Li Jiancheng still didn't say anything. I couldn't guess what he was thinking at this time. He asked him with a sarcastic smile, "If the prince doesn't shut his mouth, won't you be afraid of losing this top-secret plan?"
Looking at my eyes, he finally became angry. He approached me a little, and his elite eyes pressed: "So what? You're right. Mo Xiran in the palace is dead, and the real Mo Xiran has left, so I'm not afraid of anything! But since you know all this, can't you predict his result? If you don't leave, even if I love you, you will still die!"
My heart was shocked. I held his robe tightly, and my eyes were unconsciously sad: "His result... You can't do this. It's too cruel."
Li Jiancheng stroked the corners of my eyes and asked me, "No... Do you still want to go back?"
Yes, do I have to go back? Go find him? Go tell him? Mo Xiran of Chengqian Hall is dead! Hasn't it been decided? At this point, we will leave and come to an end. His face, which I didn't see three years ago, will even forget it from now on. What can he do with me now or later? But do I still want to go back? Should I go back?
The wheels are still spinning, the place is getting farther and farther away, and I am becoming more and more uncomfortable, and I have always struggled with a choice in the dilemma.
In a stupidation, Li Jiancheng grabbed my shoulder and quickly pressed a kiss on my lips, so fast that I didn't stop yet. There was sadness and reluctance in his eyes, and his deep eyes seemed to engrave me into his eyes and never fade away. He said, "Even if you are very reluctant, I really want you to be free and happy."
And my heart was so tight that I looked at him and didn't know how to speak. Freedom? Happy? No matter how beautiful the scenery is, what's the point of the loved one? But this moment will eventually come, and it will eventually come to say goodbye, and those who love, resent and shame will drift away.
"Wait a minute, stop the car." I suddenly shouted this sentence, and my eyes had not yet taken away from his eyes. He looked at me sincerely. He really wanted me to be free and happy, and no one knew whether this free happiness was the truth or a fake.
Li Jiancheng came to his senses and ordered the eunuch to stop. I said to him, "Prince, please wait a moment."
Before Li Jiancheng could answer, I turned around and got out of the carriage and scratched his heartbroken face. The mud road has dried well, and there is a faint fragrance in the wind, but I have no intention to appreciate the beautiful flowers around me and called Zhou Molan to the tree not far away.
I sighed and asked, "Zhou Molan, what do you think I should do?"
Zhou Molan thought for a moment and said frankly, "Does the villain still want to do what he wants, otherwise will he get the so-called freedom and happiness behind his own will? Mo Zhaoxun asked this question, and he must have a plan in his heart, and the villain vowed to follow him to the death!"
I suddenly smiled with shame: "Actually, I was not really good to you at the beginning, do you know?"
Zhou Molan insisted: "No matter what, Mo Zhaoxun is gentle and kind, and he is a good master. As a slave, as long as you meet a good master and do your best, you will have no regrets.
