Chapter 44 Rejection Again
"Your Highness, maidservant..."
In the wing of the main courtyard of the King of Zhou, the Lin family was humming a little song to coax Shangguan Waner to sleep. Suddenly, she saw the curtain of the door moving and quickly raised her head. At this sight, Li Xian arrived, and she hurriedly got up to say hello.
"Shh..."
Li Xian was worried about disturbing Shangguan Wan'er. He quickly put up a finger, put it on his lips, and heed softly, signaled the wife of the Lin family to be quiet. He strode to the front of the bed and looked at Shangguan Waner, who had fallen asleep lovingly.
Poor child, you still can't escape the life of the orphan! Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's rosy little face, Li Xian's heart had a burst of pity and guilt - Li Xian never concealed his love for Shangguan Wan'er. Even if it was the fate of his previous life, for Li Xian, there was no substantial difference between the previous life and this life. From the bottom of his heart, Li Xian never wanted Shangguan Wan'er to receive anything. This is also the root cause of Li Xian's willingness to take the risk of crossing the gang to keep Shangguan Wan'er in the house. If it is possible, Li Xian did not want to save Shangguan Yi's life. Unfortunately, this matter is beyond the scope of Li Xian's ability. He can't and dare not prepare to fill it. Under the full circumstances, he directly bumped into Queen Wu, and even dared not remind Shangguanyi. He could only watch Shangguanyi's family die and die so inexplicably. The sense of guilt in his heart is silent, which makes Li Xian have an impulse to look up to the sky and roar.
"Your Highness."
Just as Li Xian was dumbfounded, the door curtain moved, and Gao Yu hurried into the room. At this time, Li Xian was standing in front of the couch, quickly and carefully approached and called in a low voice.
"Hmm?"
Li Xian woke up from a thousand emotions. Looking back, he saw Gao Mio's strange face. He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he said softly.
"Your Highness, the prince went and returned, saying that His Royal Highness asked you to enter the palace."
Seeing that Li Xian's face was wrong, Gao Miao did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly bowed and reported in a low voice.
narration? What the hell is going on? As soon as Li Xian heard the prince's invitation, he couldn't help but move. Although he couldn't figure out what the prince's intention was for this summoning this time, he vaguely felt that such an invitation was probably not a good thing. Did he not want to go, but he was worried about some demons coming from the prince. After all, the prince was in prison at this time. In case he was put on a small shoe, he would It's really not easy to deal with.
"You go to set the mouth wind first, and go alone for a while." Li Xian pondered for a long time, but still felt that he was not at ease, so he thought about his tone and said indifferently.
"Yes, the maidservant obeys."
Since Li Xian had issued an order, Gao Yu did not dare to ask more questions. He hurriedly answered the promise and did not mention Wang Dequan perfunctorily.
It's strange, it's definitely strange! Did he still not give up? It's possible, it's very likely! After Gao Mi left, Li Xian paced back and forth in front of the couch. After meditating and repeatedly calculating various possibilities, he had already inferred what the intention of the prince's invitation was - although the prince now has some members, he has also won the heart of an important minister in the court. However, after all, as a prince, even if he supervises the country, he must stay in the palace for a long time. There are many things. He can't do it himself. He urgently needs a helper who can help him act secretly, or a thug. Obviously, only Li Xian is the most suitable among the brothers. The reason is very simple. Those half-brothers have gone early. The prince and those brothers have no friendship at all. Since It is impossible to entrust private/secret matters. Besides, even if the prince has a heart, it will not work. After all, all, all the half-brothers are far away from home. In the government, there is no effort at all. Even if they want to help, they can't help. The younger brother Li Xulun is still small and useless, and Li Xian is not at odds with him. In this way, he has publicly announced that he has abandoned. Li Xian, who is from martial arts, has become the only helper that Li Hong can choose, and this is the root of Li Hong's persistently pulling Li Xian to him!
Things are really troublesome. It seems that it's really not good if you don't go! Although Li Xian has guessed the intention of the prince's invitation, but when it comes to the response, it is really not very good in the bottom of his heart - it is impossible to vote for him, but how to refuse is a headache for Li Xian. The refusal has proved to be impossible. Just say "no"? It was purely for himself to draw. This is not the right and right. Li Xian's head suddenly became bigger several times. After wandering around the room for a long time, he still couldn't make a decision. When he was upset, he was too lazy to think more. He stamped his feet and didn't care about the expression of the waitresses such as the Lin's wife who stood restless. He strode. Go to the front yard.
"Your Highness."
In the second entrance hall of the front yard, Gao Yu was talking nonsense with Wang Dequan. Suddenly, he found that Li Xian turned out from the inside, quickly stood up and hurriedly greeted him. At the same time, his eyes turned a few times, and inadvertently shook his head slightly, implying that he had not been able to speak from Wang Dequan's mouth.
"Prepare a car, I'm going to the palace!"
For Gao Miao's hint, although Li Xian saw it in his eyes, he did not say anything, let alone think it was strange. After all, Wang De was favored by thoughtful figures such as the prince, and he was not a simple person. Of course, since Li Xian had guessed the intention of the prince's summoning, he didn't care much about Gao Miao's incompetence. He nodded his head without hesitation, waved his hand, and ordered.
"Yes, the maidservant obeys."
Seeing that Li Xian did not mean to blame himself, Gao Mi was secretly relieved and hurried to answer the promise. After signaling to Wang Dequan, he went to arrange the relevant travel matters without mentioning it.
"Prince Wang, I'm sorry to let you run back and forth on such a hot day."
After Gao Mio left, Li Xian smiled and arched his hand to Wang Dequan, who was standing beside him, and apologized in an easy-going tone.
"I dare not, I dare not. It is a great blessing for the maidservant to serve the two Your Highnesses. It is a blessing that I have cultivated for several generations. It's too late to cherish it. How dare you to complain? Ha ha, Your Highness, please."
Wang Dequan was still worried that Li Xian would not go to the East Palace. He was very nervous. At this time, when he saw Li Xian happily going to the appointment, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After a few words of greetings with a smile, he cautiously urged him.
"Well, that's good. Let the prince guide the way."
Since he had to go early and late, Li Xian was also very straightforward. As soon as his voice fell, he brushed his sleeves and walked in the direction of the gate. Seeing this, Wang Dequan quickly trotted all the way to follow him...
Dizzy, it's a big trouble this time! The carriage had arrived outside the East Palace Gate. Li Xianfang got out of the car. He didn't have time to order Gao Mi to hand over the sign. He saw the prince Li Hong, dressed in a bright yellow robe, standing in front of the palace gate with a smile. His heart couldn't help sinking. He knew that the prince's posture of courtesy only meant one thing, that is, the prince had been cruel. Heart, Li Xian must not be allowed to be beyond his control!
"I saw the prince's brother, and the working brother came to welcome him. I was frightened."
When he saw that the prince put on such a necessary posture, Li Xian was quite worried, but no matter how uneasy he was, he could not save the gift he should see, so he rushed forward and bowed to the end to ask for his condolences.
"The seventh brother doesn't have to be like this. They are all his own brothers. Why do you have to look outside like this? Come and walk with me."
Li Hong looked at Li Xian with deep meaning, raised his hand with a smile, motioned Li Xian to avoid etiquette, and then turned his body and made a "please" gesture.
"Brother, please, prince, please."
He knew that this was sad, but at this time, Li Xian could not escape. He could only laugh with him, and also made a "please" gesture, signaling the prince to invite first.
"Hmm."
Li Hong nodded with a smile, but there was no more greeting. He raised his feet and walked slowly into the palace. When Li Xian saw this, he was half a step behind and followed him. The two brothers had their own thoughts. Although they kept talking and laughing all the way, the atmosphere was really not harmonious, which made the gap between them more obvious. A few points.
"Seventh brother, come on, sit down, hehe, my brother is weak, not as strong as the seventh brother who practices martial arts. After a few steps, he gasps tight, ashamed, ashamed."
The two brothers wandered all the way to a small pavilion near the pool in the back garden. Li Hong raised his feet and walked into the pavilion, sat down by himself. Then he waved his hand with a smile and explained it self-deprecatingly.
"Thank you, Prince, for giving me a seat."
Li Xian practiced martial arts for a day, and was disturbed by Li Hong twice in a row. At this time, he was really sleepy and didn't bother to be more polite. After thanking him, he sat down opposite Li Hong and smiled faintly, but he would never say more words, just because Li Xian knew that the prince was going to share with him. It's a card. Before he figured out the prince's bottom card, Li Xian didn't want the prince to have a bad association, so he sat down and listened respectfully to the instructions.
"This time, the old man Shangguan suffered a lot of misfortune, and he was deeply sad. He has ordered the Ministry of Ceremonies to ask for a nickname for it. In particular, the discussion has not been decided. I don't know if the seventh brother has any opinions on this?"
As soon as Li Hong saw Li Xian's posture, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but there was no indication. He just nodded thoughtfully and threw out the matter of Shangguan Yi as an introduction.
"Everything is up to the prince's brother, and the younger brother has no objection."
Although Li Xian sympathizes with Shangguan Yi's experience, he never wants to be more entangled in this matter. In Li Xian's opinion, everyone is dead, and no matter how much he tosss is empty. What's, it is not a good opportunity for Shangguan Yi to turn over the case at this time. No matter how useless it is, he refuses to pick up Li Hong's topic.
"Oh? Does the seventh brother have no idea about the cause of death of Lord Shangguan?"
Seeing that Li Xian did not take over, Li Hong refused to give up. He smiled playfully, and then his face suddenly sank, throwing out some ulterior topics. At that time, Li Xian's heart was slightly sinking, and his eyes couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring...
