Chapter 2 Life and Death

The snow gradually decreased, but the wind got bigger, whimpering, with a bone-peating chill. Even with the barrier of the carriage, Li Xian still felt cold. Even if the charcoal basin in the carriage was burning vigorously, it could not alleviate this cold, because the cold was more coming from the bottom of my heart, which was unstoppable. In the extreme cold, Li Xian's thin and weak body trembled like a sieve.

The three different lives have three different personalities - the weakness of the young Li Xian, the cautiousness and vicissitudes of the elderly Li Xian, and the outer and inner strength of the young mayor Li Sheng. It can be said that three different souls are all combined together. The conflict and entanglement are inevitable, and confusion and chaos have become Li. The best mood portrayal of this moment, the huge gap in the transformation of time and space makes Li Xian 120,000 points uncomfortable. Under the fierce psychological conflict, Li Xian is already a little confused about what is reality and what is dreamy, and the whole brain has become a mess.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Just as Li Xian's thoughts were so entangled that he was about to collapse, a few soft calls came in from outside the curtain of the car, and Shengsheng pulled Li Xian back from the edge of going crazy.

"Ah."

Li Xian raised his head blankly and answered randomly. Then he suddenly found that the walking carriage had stopped at some point. Li Xian twisted his body uneasily a few times, gritted his teeth and raised his hand, gently lifted the corner of the driving curtain, and looked out. His eyes were full of nervousness and An uneasy face.

"Your Highness, you..., ah, Your Highness, Chengtianmen has arrived, Your Highness, you see..."

Gao Mio saw that Li Xian finally appeared. His heart was relieved at first, but when he saw that Li Xian's face was frighteningly pale, he immediately tightened again, but he did not dare to ask what was going on, but he swallowed his saliva vigorously and whispered to remind him.

Arrived? Oh, here it is! Li Xian was stunned and finally remembered what the purpose of his trip was. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything at the bottom. He just nodded silently, bowed down and lifted the curtain of the car. He leaned out of the carriage. Gao Miao, who was waiting beside him, rushed forward and carefully supported him. With Li Xian's arm, he obediently waited for Li Xian to get off the carriage.

Chengtianmen is still the Chengtianmen, tall and towering. Even if it is snowy, it can't hide its magnificent posture. No matter who disappears here, it will inevitably be infuriated. But in the eyes of Li Xian, it has a different meaning, not the impulse to worship or pilgrimage. The piety is an indescribable taste. There is a bit of familiarity and intimacy, two points of negligence and confusion, but more is fear!

Fear, that's right, it's fear. It's not only because of the current confusion, but also because of doubts and worries about the future. The "previous events" of that scene surged into my mind again, which made Li Xian's thin little body shiver involuntarily, and a small face became miserable in an instant. White as snow.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Gao Mio, a little eunuch, is only thirteen years old. He entered the palace at the age of seven. Even if he was assigned to the King of Zhou, he was responsible for serving Li Xian, the king of Zhou, for six years. He has been a companion who grew up with Li Xian. He is very familiar with Li Xian's temperament. It can be said that with any small action or look of Li Xian, Gao Mio can have nothing. Exceptionally, he guessed what Li Xian was thinking in his heart, but the experience of trying the lark in the past has been inaccurate today - from early morning to now, all of Li Xian's actions were completely beyond Gao Mio's grasp. This kind of accident made Gao Mio's heart full of doubts and worries, but as a companion, Gao Miu has always kept his duty. , and did not dare to reveal anything. At this time, he saw Li Xianmu staring at Chengtianmen and staring endlessly, and did not mean to enter the palace at all. Gao Miao, who was afraid of making a mistake, had no choice but to come forward and called twice in a low voice.

"Hmm? Oh, okay, enter the palace, enter the palace."

Hearing Gao Mi's reminder, Li Xian finally came to his senses from a loss. He glanced at Gao Miu. Some of them said a few absent-mindedly, raised his feet and walked to Chengtianmen. After checking the number plate, he walked through the Taiji Hall speechlessly all the way, turned around the Liangyi Hall, entered the inner court, and walked along the Avenue of the palace to Yi. In front of the De Hall, he suddenly stopped his foot. His movements were so fierce that he almost hit Li Xian's back, which almost caught him off guard.

"Your Highness, the Empress is about to give birth today. Your Majesty and the Prince are already here. Your Highness, you see..."

Gao Yu tried his best to stop his feet and shook his body a few times. Finally, he finally maintained the balance of his body. At this time, Li Xian was stunned again, and he couldn't help laughing bitterly and hurriedly explaining.

Prenatal? Yes, today is the day when the little girl Taiping was born. Hey, Taiping, Taiping, where is Taiping? A trace of inspiration suddenly appeared in Li Xian's mind, and he had remembered what was about to happen from the chaos. He hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a bitter smile, but he didn't say anything. He just shook his head slightly, straightened his clothes, and strode to the hall...

Yide Hall has been the queen's bedroom since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Several generations of queens of the Tang Dynasty have lived here. Wu Mei Niang has moved into this hall since the beginning of November in the sixth year of Yonghui (65 A.D.). It has lasted for nearly ten years. However, because of her conspiracy to kill the queen and Xiao Shufei, there are very few Wu Mei Niang. Staying in Chang'an Taiji Palace, he encouraged Gao Zong Li Zhi to live in Luoyang for a long time. Generally speaking, he lived in Luoyang for more than nine months every year. That is, when he worshipped his ancestors during the Qingming Festival, he returned to Chang'an to live for a while. The reason why he returned to Beijing early was that Wu Mei Niang was pregnant and was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go. In June this year, he returned to the capital to wait for delivery. At this time The Empress Wu was about to be in the basin, and the hall was busy. Countless palace eunuchs came in and out, which seemed to be chaotic.

Li Xian walked all the way, and there were eunuchs bowing and asking for peace along the way. However, Li Xian was so confused that he had no intention to pay more attention to it at all. He walked into the hall by himself and saw Gao Zong Li Zhizheng, who was wearing the robe of the Ming Emperor, rubbing his hands and turning around at the junction of the front hall and the apse. His face was full of anxiety, and the prince Li Hong sat on a soft couch. The upright teenager standing next to him was Li Xian, the king of Lu. He stood under Li Xian with a famous wet nurse for the first time. He held a three-year-old child in his arms. This child was Li Xulun, the king of Yin, and Li Dan, the famous incompetent emperor Ruizong.

"I have met my father."

Although Li Xian was full of thoughts at this time, he did not dare to show anything, let alone lose his manners. He entered the hall and immediately grabbed Gao Zong Li Zhi in front of him, bowed to the end, and saw the salute loudly.

"Ah, it's Xian'er coming, no, no." Gao Zong was turning around anxiously, but as soon as he saw Li Xian arrive, he immediately showed a kind smile on his face, waved his hand kindly, called Li Xian to his side, looked at Li Xian's pale face, and said sadly, "Is Xian'er not feeling well? Why is your face so ugly? Tut, it's so cold that it's time to keep warm. Don't wait until you're really sick. It's too late.

"My father's lesson is that the child is not a big problem. Maybe it's a little cold. It's better to take a rest."

Looking at his father's amiable face, Li Xian's heart immediately surged into a strong family affection. His eyes turned red involuntarily, and he almost burst into tears. He hurriedly lowered his head and answered calmly, but the trill in his words revealed his inner excitement.

"Have you suffered from the cold? That's not easy. Come on, go, pass a bowl of ginger soup. As soon as Li Zhi heard that Li Xian was cold, he was immediately a little anxious and hurriedly shouted. The little eunuch waiting beside him took the order to go to the imperial dining room to pass the ginger soup.

"My son... Thank you for your kindness."

Listening to Li Zhi's gentle words, Li Xianqiang's tears couldn't help flowing out and choking and grateful - although Li Xian is still unable to locate his identity and status, the father-son relationship with Li Zhijian is an unchangeable fact. Li Xian, who has been a man for several generations, knows his father's character. Cowardice is really not a qualified emperor, nor a qualified good husband, and it is difficult to say that he is a qualified good father, but his love for his children is completely from sincerity, and there is no hypocrisy at all. This is rare in the deceitible emperor's family, and it can't be left by Li Xian. I feel abnormal.

"Silly child, be very polite to your father. Alas, your mother has been in it for a long time, and there hasn't been a move yet. I really can't rest assured. Alas, I hope everything goes well. That's all right, that's it. Let's go and wait with your brothers. I'll go in and have a look." Li Zhi chitulously ordered Li Xian to say a few words. He was still worried about the Empress Wu, who was waiting to give birth. He shook his sleeves and wanted to walk to the apse. However, he only took two steps, but he stopped his feet sadly and turned around anxiously.

Good man, but not a good emperor! Looking at his father's impatience, Li Xian couldn't help thinking of the historical conclusion of Gao Zong's coffin. It was inevitable that he would boo for a long time, but this was obviously not a big emotional occasion. Li Xian could only sigh secretly and drag his feet aside.

"I have met the prince brother and the sixth brother."

You can sigh with emotion in your heart, but in the face of the two brothers, Li Hong, the prince lying on the soft couch, and Li Xian, who stood proudly, Li Xian did not dare to be rude at all and politely.

"The seventh brother doesn't have to be like this. It's so cold. The seventh brother needs to be careful. Don't get sick, that's not good."

Prince Li Hong is a very easy-going person. Although he is a prince, he never puts on airss in front of his younger brothers. The only drawback is that his body is weaker. In the past few days, the snow and wind are cold, and he has suffered a cold. However, because Wu Hou is about to give birth, as a son, he can't but come here to express his concern. He can only sit on a soft couch and wait for the news. At this time, when he saw Li Xian salute himself, he immediately smiled gently and raised his hand, indicating that Li Xian did not have to be polite.

"Thank you very much for your love."

Whether in the previous life or this life, Li Xian was quite close to Li Hong. When he saw Li Hong, he smiled first, and his heart was warm. He thanked him with a smile. He stood up straight and was about to walk to Li Hong.

"Seven brother, what's wrong with you? Every time you arrive at the latest. If you don't change your tiredness, how can you do big things in the future?"

Li Xian just stood up straight, and before he could move. Li Xian, the king of Lu, stood beside him, coldly scolded him, and immediately made Li Xian chop hard...
