Lei Yue Longmen

The eldest princess was always surprised? How could the rigorous and pragmatic Li Jingxuan say such resigned words as "one step at a time", "Is this person really that important to you?"

"Yes, it's very important. She died, I? I felt that I died too, and she lived, and I? I felt that I also lived. My aunt and uncle broke through the secular prejudices and combined, and I should understand this feeling best."

"I? I'm just an idle princess. There's no need to go to the Dragon Gate. You can have the freedom to love and hate as a mortal. But you are different. You have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You should seize it. You know that when your father and the emperor helped you How much pressure have you been under as an empress dowager? Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it because of a short-term difference."

A sad smile suddenly formed on the corner of Li Jingchen's mouth, "The purpose of helping me to be the Empress Dowager is just to suppress the power of Taishi Yan's party. Now that the enemy has wiped out me, I am useless!"

"How can you think like this?" Li Pingzhu's eyes showed a trace of unbearable: "It's fine for others to think like this, how can you think like this?"

"Isn't it?" Li Jingchen said angrily.The raindrops hit the umbrella surface, crackling.The shock made both sides feel a little tinnitus.

"No!" Li Pingzhu said categorically: "I? I can tell you clearly, no! I was there at the time, and your father tried his best to pass the throne to you. The so-called suppression of the strict party established you. Only a fool would believe the rumors. If Taishi Yan’s party really had such power, why would Li Pingsu (King Xiao) be unable to bring back the exile? The truth is that your father wanted to pass the throne to you, but it was in the way Yu Dawei's rule of "If you have a son, you don't pass it on to your daughter". That's why you tried your best to fabricate the saying that the master is the youngest? It is a hundred times more difficult to become a law than it is. To eradicate the strict party, at least there will be political opponents to respond, but to abolish the ancestral rules will encounter almost "natural" opposition. Back then, Pan Suiyong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in bumping into the court It’s not like you didn’t hear the excitement. Let me ask, how can there be any reason in the world to choose the difficult? If your father didn’t really want to pass on the throne to you, he didn’t need to abandon the Mingjun demeanor at the moment of death, and bear the burden of being punished by future generations. The danger of scolding, insisting on insisting on setting you up? Your father has high hopes for you, this is absolutely unquestionable!"

The eldest princess became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally clenched her fists.

Li Jingchen looked at her calmly, and lamented: "Maybe, maybe he was really sincere at the beginning. But after 11 years, no one can guarantee that I? Will I still meet his expectations? Auntie, I? You can go now." ?"

Li Pingzhu choked for a moment, recalling what Li Pinghong had done to the East Palace in recent years, he couldn't help but refute Li Jingzhu's pessimistic argument, and sighed, "Forget it, the matter has already happened, it's useless to talk about it, let's go, let's go."

"Wait!" He suddenly stopped her again, approached her, held an umbrella in one hand, and smoothed the messy hair on her forehead with the other, and told her softly, "Remember, if it is a last resort, confess Jingchai is better than confessing yourself, you know?"

Li Jingchen's eyes froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and bowed, "Thank you, aunt."

It was getting dark, the rain was getting lighter, and a bunch of bonfires were lit in the temple.The Empress Dowager ordered four straw mats to be hung on the beams at the southeast corner, forming a circle of curtains. Yellow and orange lights leaked from the gaps in the mats. From Suo Suo's movements, one could imagine that it was her sister who was helping Cen Zhu change clothes.

This, how is this possible?The second princess was anxious and annoyed to use a branch to light the fire, and looked back at the straw mat from time to time, and she had to be always on the lookout for someone coming in at the door. She felt like she was squatting here like a watchman. windy.

Finally, the commotion over there stopped, and although Li Jingxi didn't show it on his face, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.There were two teardrops rolling down, she sniffled her nose, but she didn't expect to make a strong nasal sound, she was afraid of being heard, so she quickly bit her mouth tightly to breathe evenly, but she still couldn't help wanting to lose her breath. tears.

"Dai Jing, come here!" Li Jingchen's voice came from behind the tent.

Li Jingxi didn't want to go there, but stood up uncontrollably, and walked obediently towards the straw mat.When we arrived in front of the grass curtain, we stopped hesitantly, not knowing whether we should go in or not.

"Come in!"

Again? Her hands were faster than her brain, she lifted the straw mat, and as expected, she saw a scene behind the mat that made her nose sour.In the small space illuminated by the torch, Li Jingchen sat against the wall on one side of the straw mat, with his legs stretched together, motionless as the man's pillow.As for Cen Zhu, who had put on clean clothes, his face obviously improved after taking the medicine, but the bruise on half of his face was still there, obviously he had been hit hard before.She was covered with a thin quilt, and slept deeply with her eyelids closed. It took a long time for her chest to rise and fall, but every rise and fall brought people a reassuring force.Supported by this force, Li Jingchen changed from his previous dispirited spirit, a kind of gratitude spontaneously arose in his heart, and he looked at her lovingly with tired almond eyes, his whole aura became much gentler.

"Come here, let me see if you're injured?" Apparently Li Jingxi's embarrassment in the rain had left a deep impression on her, and she was worried that she might bump into something on the road.

The second princess pursed her lips, feeling very wronged and contradictory. She held the curtain with both hands, and pitifully did not come forward.There was a trace of sadness and guilt in Li Jingchen's eyes, he lowered his eyes, and raised them again, "Ask whatever you want, I will know everything without saying a word."

After being held back for a long time, Li Jingxi asked nonchalantly, "You...why did you give that strange man a sword?"

Li Jingchen didn't expect that she was still obsessed with the previous problem and remained silent.

"You want to provoke him to get up and kill you, and you just let Fei Chai see it, so you can kill him with the hands of Fei Chai, right?" Li Jingxi asked indignantly, "Why?"

Li Jingchen felt that the questions she asked were so sharp that she couldn't answer them calmly.With a wry smile, he explained: "In my position, sometimes I have to be ruthless and do things I don't want to do. I have nothing to say about this."

"Things you don't want to do? Do you mean killing weirdos, or framing useless people?"

"Both."

Li Jingxuan was puzzled, Li Jingxuan patted the mat next to her again, motioning for her to sit down.Li Jingxi's eyes were red, and he threw back the curtain with his hand in protest, letting it slap on his back, refusing to move forward.

Li Jingchen said helplessly: "My aunt knows about Cen Zhu's existence, which means she has caught my weakness. If I don't do something, I may be controlled by others in the future. And I didn't mean to blame Jing Chai. It’s just that he happened to be there. What? Happened, and couldn’t help but take advantage of it.”

"But, but she is an aunt! There is also good-for-nothing, he is always looking at you, what do you have to worry about? You don't know how hard aunt scolded good-for-nothing this time. Drive back to Beijing alone, in case he encounters a wolf at the foot of the mountain..." Li Jing's nose was red, and he couldn't bear to continue.

"There are only two people in this world who can make me feel at ease, one is you and the other is her." Li Jingzhuo looked at her seriously, then looked down at Cen Zhuo, and put his hand on the side of her innocent face, " As for the others, I? I used to believe it sincerely, but the results were always unsatisfactory, so I dare not believe it easily any more." Seeing her gloomy expression, Li Jingxi suddenly felt distressed and sad.

"After all, I can't live with them, and I should be blamed no matter what."

Li Jingxi's nose was sore and astringent.

Li Jingchen reached out to her for the third time, "Come here, sister, let me tell you a story."

Seeing that she should not, "Don't you want to know my story with her?"

Finally, Li Jingxi took a step forward with red eyes, and was pulled to sit beside her, and kneaded carefully from shoulder to heel until Jingxi said uncomfortably: "I? It's okay." Her There was a slight sigh of relief between the pale lips.Scratching the light blue under her eye moss with the back of his finger, he let Dai Jing lean on his shoulder, hugging her like he did when he was a child, head to head, and began to tell about the past between her and Cen Zhuo from beginning to end.

From the unpleasant acquaintance, to the passionate love, to the unexpected separation, all kinds of stories and entanglements, I told Li Jingxi almost without any concealment, except for a false pregnancy, because Dai Jing didn't like Li Zhouxuan in the first place, so I told it out Might have added to her distaste, so it wasn't mentioned.And she herself seemed to follow that dusty memory and returned to that unforgettable old time.

"At that time, we always got together less and stayed away more, and we could only see each other once in a long time. Most of the time, we spent a long time in longing. I promised her that such a day would one day be At the end, she was full of hope to wait quietly in the garden alone and take good care of our common home. Although the summer resort was always empty because of the lack of another hostess, she never tired of it. She wrote tirelessly The letter tells me what changes have taken place in the summer resort, forgiving me again and again for missing appointments for no reason, and choosing to believe in my promised future again and again. Until...until she thought that day might never come.”

Li Jingxu was surprised at first because she fell in love with a girl, but then unknowingly burst into tears, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and asked in a choked voice: "It's a pity that my sister and Hua Qing missed it, but it has nothing to do with Cen Zhuo." what relationship?"

Li Jingzhu straightened up, took her hand, dragged her to touch Cen Zhu's neck, slid along her smooth curved neck, and asked, "Did you touch anything?"

"What... what?" Li Jingxi felt that things were a little weird.

When she realized it, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she withdrew her hand in disbelief. She was stunned and her mind went blank.

"why?"

Li Jingchen saw that she seemed to be stunned, not much? Unexpectedly, he re-tightened his clothes for Cen Zhuo: "That's it, before meeting her again, I didn't know she was Cen Zhuo."

If the two princesses looked dumbfounded before, then it can only be described as a fiasco.

"This is impossible!"

She stood up abruptly, turned half a circle around the straw mat, stared straight at Cen Zhu, with a surprised and bewildered expression, retreated to the edge of the straw mat unconsciously, suddenly opened the curtain and walked out quickly.After walking a long way, there was still an indigestible "this is impossible", Li Jingchen closed his eyes tiredly, not knowing whether it was joy or sadness.

In the early morning of the next day, after the rain stopped, the eldest princess bid farewell to Li Jingchen, preparing to catch up with the former army.Just as he walked out of the tent, he saw Li Jingzhu already packing his luggage outside the temple, ready to go on the road.

She walked over unexpectedly, "You are..."

"Isn't aunt going to leave? I? As the commander in chief of suppressing the bandits, how can I be absent? We? Let's go on the road together."

Li Pingzhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about her?"

"I? I have arranged for Dai Jing to send her to a nearby border town to recuperate. If the injury improves, she will go back to Beijing!"

Li Pingzhu said with a smile: "It's so good. But, can you persevere?"

"Yes!" Li Jingchen resolutely said: "What's more, I don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb the Dragon Gate, and I don't want to disappoint so many people's expectations."

Li Pingzhu looked at her meaningfully, and slowly extended a gratified smile on his mouth, "Let's go, the sky will be sunny soon!"

Before leaving, Li Jingchen looked back at the ruined temple. There was her most beloved person inside, but she was about to leave.Suddenly there was a hot tide in his eyes, his nose was sore, he raised his whip, and before the tears flooded his eyes, he leapt away resolutely.
