Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 61 Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin immediately turned from furious to shocked, and then became very sad.Regardless of whether the transaction of accepting money from magistrates and conducting business transactions with officials is true, it is true. Compared with the death of his daughter, this matter is not worth mentioning at all.
Li Mingda was still tired from the journey, when the news came, it happened not long after lunch, she changed her clothes and went to bed, ready to fall asleep.Because of her keen ears, the sound of breathing in the room can sometimes be heard, so when she really rests, she likes to send people away.
Now when Li Mingda heard the bad news from the Lizheng Hall, he was frightened. He immediately jumped off the bed and rushed to the door. When he was about to open the door, he heard footsteps coming from the Lizheng Hall. .
Aye must have sent someone to notify her.
"Is the princess still resting?"
Tian Hanshan outside the door nodded in agreement, and was about to say that he had just fallen asleep when Li Mingda cut off the conversation, "I haven't slept yet."
Tian Hanshan hurriedly opened the door, only to see his own princess with a bleak face and tears in her eyes.
Tian Hanshan lowered his eyes, wondering why, and said in a panic: "My lord, this—"
"Did something happen to Fifth Sister?" Li Mingda asked the eunuch who sent the message with red eyes.
The eunuch nodded.
Li Mingda was about to step away, but was pulled back by Tian Hanshan.
"My lord, you haven't worn your shoes yet!"
Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was standing on the ground with bare feet because he was walking in a hurry.She hurriedly turned around and sat down, let Tian Hanshan put on her shoes, then rushed to see Li Shimin, requesting to leave the palace immediately to see Princess Changle for the last time.
Li Shimin had just finished crying, and when he heard what his daughter said, he wept again, and immediately nodded in agreement, and took her to Princess Changle's mansion together.
After two sticks of incense, the father and daughter arrived at Princess Changle's mansion.
White silk has been hung up in the mansion, and funeral banners have been set up.
Changsun Wuji learned that the saint was coming, so he brought his sons Changsun Chong, Changsun Huan and others to pick him up, all of them looked sad.
Li Shimin didn't have time to care about these people's kneeling, and rushed straight into Changle Princess Li Lizhi's bedroom.He saw the pale face of his daughter lying on the bed, lifeless, tears fell down again.Li Mingda followed Li Shimin, and she was also crying, but when she stood firm and looked at Li Lizhi, Li Mingda's eyes froze slightly, and the tears stopped flowing.
Li Shimin was going to hold his daughter's hand, but when he touched it, he felt cold to the bone, telling him clearly that his fifth daughter had passed away and was lifeless.
Changsun Chong was at the side to comfort him, asking him not to stay here too long, so as not to hurt his feelings again.
"She has had an asthma attack for a few days, and I wanted to tell the saint a long time ago, but she refused to let him worry about him. Perhaps she has noticed that she is not healthy this morning, and told me that if she comes in the future, Let me try to comfort the sage, don't be sad because she is not blessed to be the daughter of a sage."
Li Shimin became more and more sad when he heard this, and after being comforted by Changsun Wuji for many times, he nodded, and followed the sensible boy's last words, and let Changsun Wuji help him out.Li Shimin talked hoarsely to Changsun Wuji about the pain of losing his daughter, recalling Li Lizhi's past that was well-behaved and sensible, he became more and more sad and unable to control himself.
Changsun Wuji was also very sad, nodded in agreement, and was full of praise for Li Lizhi.Then he helped Li Shimin go out, Changsun Huan and other brothers also followed.
Li Mingda didn't leave, she quietly looked at Li Lizhi with closed eyes on the couch, she stood there motionless, seemed to be deep in thought, seemed to be in a daze.
Chang Sunchong accompanied the saint and his father for a few steps, then noticed that Li Mingda hadn't followed, and saw that the saint was still sad, talking a lot with his father.Chang Sun Chong gave Chang Sun Huan a wink and asked him to accompany him.
Changsun Huan agreed, knowing that Jinyang hadn't come out, and expected that she would be very sad and refused to leave her sister.The elder brother is her fifth brother-in-law and the closest person to Princess Changle, so it is naturally best for his elder brother to persuade her at such a time.
Changsun Huan left immediately without thinking too much.
The eldest grandson rushed to the door, seeing that Li Mingda was still in a daze, he winked at Tian Hanshan and asked him to inform her to come out so that they could have a good chat.
Tian Hanxi followed his advice.
But Chang Sun Chong waited for a while, but he still didn't see Li Mingda intending to go out, instead he went straight to Li Lizhi's direction.
Chang Sun Chong was very nervous, rushed in and called Li Mingda.
Li Mingda frowned, and looked at Zhang Sun Chong with wide eyes.The moment Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Mingda, he looked away and looked elsewhere.
Li Mingda smelled a guilty conscience.
The tears in the corners of her eyes have not faded, and the fundus of her eyes is red.Immediately, she turned her head and continued to walk straight towards Li Lizhi. The short distance of more than ten steps was accompanied by a beating that became more and more clear.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi's motionless face, sat down beside the bed, and grabbed her wrist.
Changsun Chong's eyes became tense.
"Is the body so cold when a person is dead?" Li Mingda seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be asking Sun Chong.
"When people leave, the body will indeed feel cold." Zhang Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Li Mingda sizing up Li Lizhi, his heart became more and more lifted.
Tian Hanshan repeatedly nodded in agreement, told Li Mingda that this was indeed the case, and advised her to leave earlier, so as not to be too hurt.
Chang Sun Chong quickly agreed, "If your sister was alive, she wouldn't have the heart to see you like this."
Li Mingda slowly put down Li Lizhi's arm, but her hand didn't move away, instead she touched the mattress on the bed.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi's face again, staring very carefully.
The eldest Sun Chong became more and more flustered, and repeatedly tried to persuade Li Mingda not to be sad, "You can't be too sad, you are too sad, no matter how uncomfortable your body is, the saint's sadness will only increase. Besides, you saw how he looked just now, I'm afraid that others can't coax him, so you have to go in person."
Li Mingda turned to look at Changsun Chong, "Then what about you, why don't you be as sad as we are, so indifferent?"
When Changsun Chong heard this, he hurriedly saluted and dared not, explaining that he was actually very sad, but because he wanted to welcome the saint and the lord, he had to control his emotions.
After saying this, Chang Sun Chong was puzzled in his heart why Li Mingda made such a statement.She has always been considerate and will not deliberately use words to make things difficult and embarrass others.But today, she has been abnormal since seeing Li Lizhi, could it be...
Changsun Chong frowned.
The camouflage is likely to be perfect at the beginning, but the longer the game, the more flaws will be exposed by the guilty side.
Li Mingda has seen many flaws now, from Zhang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi.
She really wanted to open her mouth and ask her questions quickly, but in the current situation, the matter was so important that she couldn't help but speak quickly without thinking about the consequences.
Li Mingda pondered for a while with his eyes down, and then he said to look for the saint.
Chang Sun Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to lower the curtain of Li Lizhi's bed.Then the two came out one after the other, and it happened that a servant from the princess mansion came over with some basins of ice.
Li Mingda reached out and grabbed a handful in the basin, the ice cubes were cold, and immediately turned into water in his hands, "This is it?"
"It's hot, just in case..." The boy who answered didn't know whether it was appropriate to say 'corpse rotten' or 'princess rotten', so his mouth stuck, not knowing how to express it.
Li Mingda immediately understood, and turned to Chang Sun Chong, "I didn't expect you to be well prepared."
Chang Sun Chong was stunned.
Afterwards, the steward of the Princess Mansion came forward and hurriedly said: "These things are prepared by the slaves, and everything that should be thought of has been thought of. Please rest assured, the slaves will definitely do their best to handle the funeral."
"You speak sincerely." Li Mingda sighed, and then quickly walked towards where Li Shimin was.
But when Chang Sun Chong heard what she said, he felt that there was something wrong with her words.Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Mingda with more and more complicated eyes. He used to think he knew the little girl's temperament very well, but now he doesn't understand at all. It's just that he hasn't seen him for half a year, and he is even more treacherous and difficult than the mind of a saint. Measurement.
After Li Mingda went to coax Li Shimin, it really had some effect, Li Shimin's grief was halved, he sighed a few times, and wanted to take Li Mingda back to the palace.Li Mingda refused and begged Li Shimin to let her stay in the princess mansion overnight.
"I want to send her off again." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he turned his head to Changsun Wuji and sighed that his son was sensible and valued love.
Changsun Wuji nodded, naturally he was not stingy in complimenting Li Mingda.Among the saint's daughters, there are only two that Zhangsun Wuji is most optimistic about. One is Princess Changle, who has become his daughter-in-law, and the other is Princess Jinyang in front of him.On the surface, the two children seem to have a stable and gentle temperament, but Sizi has a suitable temperament, and is more lively than Li Lizhi.It's a pity that she is a little younger, if he had had the choice back then, he would have let his son be the princess.
But now that the eldest grandson's mansion has left a princess, with the glory of his eldest grandson's family, it is not impossible to give up another princess.It's just that among the sons, there is none that he thinks is suitable for Li Mingda.Changsun Huan was too naughty, and he didn't have a serious and steady look on weekdays.Although the third son, Sun Jun, is stable, he is not bad in talent and learning.It is not shameful to take it out, but there is nothing outstanding.It is not obvious everywhere, but it is mediocre.Without the talent of a general, how can he match up with Princess Jinyang and compete with other children.
Changsun Wuji looked at such a good niece in front of him, and sighed melancholy when he thought that he couldn't get it.
When Li Shimin heard this, he patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder, "You don't have to blame yourself and be too sad, Lizhi is her fate. After she is gone, she can talk to her mother underground."
When mentioning the Changsun family, Li Shimin was sad again.There is no woman in this world who is as virtuous and understanding as Changsun's, who can really approach his heart.Daughter Li Lizhi is also a very considerate and gentle beauty. When he was angry before, this girl would follow her mother's temperament and persuade him to feel at ease.But the two Xie Yuhua left him one after another because of the same illness.
Because of this, Li Shimin became even more flustered. Looking at his other daughter whom he loves most, he suddenly worried that his son would also suffer from severe asthma like her sister and mother when she turned around.
"Follow me back to the palace. You are young and not in good health. You can't stay too sad for a long time." Li Shimin said with a changed face.
Li Mingda was a little dazed, he didn't know why his father suddenly changed his attitude, he hurriedly pulled his arm, and assured him that he would be fine.
"I just have some things in my heart. I haven't had a chance to talk to Fifth Sister before. Now that she's gone, if I don't say anything, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart. After a long time, I feel more and more regretful. I will be sad." Li Mingda caught Li Shimin's weakness with a few words.
Li Shimin then sighed, finally agreed.
"Father, please leave the guards to watch me. I will be obedient." Li Mingda glanced at Chang Sun Chong defensively from the corner of his eye, and then added a word to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin agreed without thinking, and then went.
After Li Mingda sent his father away, he sent away his eldest grandson Wuji so that he would not have to worry about himself.
Changsun Wuji was still not at ease, and asked Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan to take good care of Li Mingda, so he went here.
As soon as Changsun Wuji left, Li Mingda raised his head and winked at Changsun Huan, telling him to go as he should.
Changsun Huan was so happy, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you cousin."
Then he also withdrew.
At the moment, Changsun Chong and Li Mingda are left.
Ever since Chang Sun Chong heard that Li Mingda insisted on not leaving, he had almost confirmed it in his heart, and Li Mingda had discovered the clue.So he is a little nervous facing Li Mingda now, and he hasn't felt this feeling for a long time.
Li Mingda walked towards the direction of Li Lizhi's corpse, and took a few steps. These steps made the heart of Chang Sun Chong behind him beat extremely fast.
Li Mingda paused, and turned to the garden of the Princess Mansion, chose a pavilion at random, and ordered Cheng Chubi, Tian Hanshan and others to wait ten feet away.
Li Mingda leaned against the vermilion lacquered pillar, and looked at Chang Sun Chong seriously.
Chang Sun Chong already felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he lowered his eyes halfway, ready to stop with silence.
Their cousins have been getting along since childhood, needless to say their feelings.So at this moment, for Li Mingda, he didn't feel any fear at all, he seemed to be neither humble nor overbearing, but his nervousness almost forced him to turn around and run away immediately.
However, the matter must be solved by escape, and what's more, this matter was not his idea alone.
Li Mingda calmed down for a while, but still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, tilted his neck and glared at Sun Chong angrily: "What are you guys making trouble about?"
Chang Sun Chong was stunned again, and looked at Li Mingda puzzled, "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the princess means."
"Cousin, it's about time. It's just you and me. You don't have to pretend to be with me. I can see that you know the truth. I also know that you and eldest sister are more than ten years older, have more knowledge and know more. But why do you want to do this? What is she planning? What are you planning?"
Chang Sun Chong still lowered his head halfway, as if he couldn't understand.
Li Mingda laughed angrily, "Okay, you don't understand, do you?"
After all, she strode towards Li Lizhi's room without saying a word.Cheng Chubi and Tian Hanshan hurriedly followed.Seeing this, Changsun Chong went after him.
Li Mingda told Cheng Chubi while walking, "You all wait outside the house for a while, and tonight, watch me closely."
Although Cheng Chubi didn't understand why, but seeing the princess's reaction, he knew that this matter was not simple, so he kept it in his heart and agreed immediately.
Arriving at the door of the house where Li Lizhi's body lay, Changsun rushed over quickly, blocking Li Mingda's way, with a slight warning in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"Then what are you stopping me for? Are you guilty? I want to see my Fifth Sister again. What's wrong? Is the eldest son-in-law necessary to be so nervous?"
Chang Sun Chong had never seen Li Mingda so majestic and powerful, so he let go slowly.
Li Mingda entered the room alone.
Chang Sun Chong looked at Cheng Chubi, Tian Hanshan and others who were waiting for orders outside, and was stunned for a while, then closed his eyes helplessly, knowing that the matter must not be hidden.
The four maids of Princess Changle were guarding the room. When they saw Li Mingda enter the door, they bowed their heads in salute. Their faces were slightly strange, and they became more nervous as Li Mingda got closer to Li Lizhi.
Li Mingda stood beside Li Lizhi's bed, staring at her face, "Father is gone, uncle is gone, everyone who should go is gone, I came in alone. The son-in-law of the eldest grandson is now outside the door, hesitant to enter , I don’t know if I’m afraid of me or you.”
Li Lizhi on the bed still had her eyes closed, motionless.
Li Mingda stretched out his hand to grab Li Lizhi's hand, but Bai Lu, the big maid next to him, hurriedly said: "Your lord, why bother, the person has already gone, looking at it several times, it's just adding to my sadness."
"I don't understand why she left all of a sudden." Li Mingda stopped his hand in mid-air, and finally took it away without touching Li Lizhi.
"I have been sick for a long time. This spring, I have had a sudden attack. I have never seen better. After a long time, it will naturally become more and more serious. In fact, the princess's body has not recovered for a long time. Everyone in the mansion knows the princess's condition, but it is not sudden. It's just that the sage told him to keep it secret so that he wouldn't worry about it, so it never came into the palace." Bai Lu said.
Li Mingda smiled, "Is——?"
Bai Lu was stunned, Princess Jinyang's smile obviously had another meaning, she could see it.
"So there was a plan." Li Mingda sighed.
Bai Lu was stunned again, "I don't know what your lord's words mean?"
"How long are your masters and servants going to act in front of me?" Li Mingda stood up abruptly, staring at Li Lizhi, "You dare to pretend to be dead like this, even your own biological father, brothers and sisters who are related by blood. Lie, why on earth are you?"
Bai Lu opened his mouth slightly, startled, and turned to look in Li Lizhi's direction in a panic.
Li Lizhi's expression remained the same, but then her little finger twitched.
With Bai Lu's current situation, he closed his eyes helplessly, feeling that this big secret really couldn't be kept secret.
"Fifth sister still doesn't want to wake up? Are you planning to tell Aye about this, so you open your eyes again?" Li Mingda asked coldly.
Bai Lu looked at Li Mingda defensively, then walked to his own princess, grabbed her arm, and called out "your lord" meaningfully.
Li Lizhi's eyelids moved, and then she finally opened them slowly, following the sound and looking at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda saw Li Lizhi 'alive', and his heart burned to the corner of his mouth, "Does Fifth Sister know what she is doing? You are hiding it from everyone, what are the consequences of playing fake death?"
With Bai Lu's support, Li Lizhi regained her composure, then smiled wryly, tears falling down one by one.
"Of course I know, your Fifth Sister is not a fool." Li Lizhi said hoarsely.
Li Mingda: "..."
She didn't speak, just looked at her silently, waiting for her further explanation.
"Are you the only one who discovered this? Or have you already told Aye?"
"If you tell him, I am not the only one standing in front of you at this moment." Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi with some dissatisfaction, and asked her what she was thinking to do such a heartless thing, "Do you know that Aye How sad and how many tears I shed when I learned the news of your absence. How could you lie to everyone like this, but why did you lie to everyone like this?"
Li Mingda seldom complains to others, but today she is completely resentful towards Li Lizhi.Why would she make fun of her own life and death, and play fake death in front of her dearest and dearest?This kind of irresponsible behavior made Li Mingda angry.
It was the first time for Li Lizhi to see Li Mingda throwing anger like this. She was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "It's not a joke. From today onwards, I'm not Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, nor your sister."
"Really?" Li Mingda was even angrier when he heard that she was still talking to him like this.
"Yes."
"Okay, then since you are not Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, you are not my Fifth Sister. Now that you see me, why don't you kneel down and salute me, the Imperial Princess Jinyang!" Li Mingda questioned.
"You—" Li Lizhi's complexion changed, and she was choked speechless.
"Look at you, you obviously can't let go of your identity, but you want to do such unreasonable things. Do you really see that everyone is sad for you, and only happy when you play around?"
"Si, you don't have to say such harsh words to provoke me. I did something wrong. But the matter has reached this point, what's the use of you talking about it. You have to replace me for my fraudulent death." Confidential."
"You can make up a passable reason to explain that you have been resurrected. For example, the servant girl misjudged and fainted suddenly after taking the medicine, making people mistakenly think that you have gone. No matter what the excuse is, just explain the past, and I will help you in the past. Aye, talk to me." Li Mingda quickly thought of a solution, and suggested to Li Lizhi.
"No, I don't want to go back to the past." Li Lizhi said calmly.
Li Mingda also calmed down, frowning in silence.In fact, from the moment she accompanied Li Shimin into the house to the moment she noticed Li Lizhi's heartbeat, Li Mingda knew that Li Lizhi's shocking move must have been premeditated, and she must have thought about it several times.But no matter what the reason is, in Li Mingda's opinion, Li Lizhi shouldn't leave everyone behind and just walk away.
After all, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she can solve many things just by opening her mouth. How can there be so much grievance that she can escape until she must die?
Li Mingda really didn't understand, maybe she didn't know much.
"So you are still a child, you don't understand anything when you are young." Li Lizhi sighed, and stretched out her hand for Li Ming to come to her.Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi defensively, stood where he was, and didn't want to go.
"Fifth Sister knows the seriousness of this matter, and if she wants to do this, then I don't need to say more." Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Lizhi immediately.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi panicked and told her not to leave.Seeing that Li Mingda was not stopping, she hurriedly got off the ground to pull her, and Bai Lu and others in that room also hurriedly blocked the door, not daring to let Li Mingda go out.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi, and the two sisters just stared at each other, speechless.
Bai Lu found out that his lord had never even worn shoes, he exclaimed, and rushed to fetch the shoes.
Li Mingda sighed: "When I heard the sad news of your death earlier, I was just like you. I stood on the ground with bare feet and was stunned for a long time. I couldn't stop crying. For a moment, I even wished I could go with you."
Li Lizhi was weeping, and hurriedly grabbed Li Mingda's hand, begging her to listen to his explanation.
The reason why Li Mingda didn't publicize it was to listen to this explanation, so Li Lizhi pulled him to sit by the window.
"Sister, you have experienced a lot in the past six months. You should know that being a princess is not as peaceful and smooth as the world thinks. How can you enjoy the glory and wealth and spend your days leisurely and leisurely? Surrounded by true and false , many conspiracies, many times you have to spend your whole life with someone you don’t like.”
Li Mingda was startled, and looked at Li Lizhi in amazement, then she glanced in the direction of the door, "Fifth Sister, what do you mean by that, do you mean that you and your eldest cousin treat you—"
"I have fulfilled the responsibility of continuing the future generations for their eldest grandson's family, which is already the biggest concession I have ever made." Li Li protested.
Li Mingda: "I don't understand, Fifth Sister can't live with him? Then make peace, why bother to fake death."
"He has no fault at all, and our identities are so prominent, and we are bound to attract opposition from many parties. Even if we are exhausted and exhausted, we really separated successfully. I am afraid that the trouble will be known all over the world. Can't go on any better."
Li Mingda had to admit that there was some truth in Li Lizhi's words, "Then you have been together for so many years, and you have two children, how are you doing well? It used to be fine, why suddenly..."
"It was not good before, and it has always been bad... But we tolerated each other, and out of our status and responsibilities, we had to have children step by step. Don't blame your fifth brother-in-law, he is not wrong, he has always been gentle and polite to me." Li Lizhi When mentioning those days, the bitterness on his face flooded into a sea.
"Fifth sister, are you lying to me? According to what you said, you two hate each other. But I have seen the way you look at him, and I have heard how happy you are when you talk about him... Now you tell me that you don't like him, how can I believe it. I really don't like it, when Aye made this marriage for you, how could you not even say 'no'?" Li Mingda repeatedly questioned , making the tears on Li Lizhi's face flood more and more.
Li Mingda asked Li Lizhi again: "How many people knew about your fraudulent death? The son-in-law must know about it, right?"
"There aren't many people, except him, the four of them, and you." Li Lizhi replied, "I planned to get through today, but this is the last time Aye sees me, so I don't have to appear in the The eldest grandson's mansion is gone, and he promised to cover up the matter for me afterwards. But your appearance..."
"Where are you going? Recluse?"
"Go to Jiangnan Dongdao, find a place to live near the sea, watch the sun rise and set every day, and grow old peacefully, without worrying about the troubles of the world."
"Yan'er, what about Xu'er? Do you have the heart to leave them behind and leave them alone?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Lizhi looked sad, "I'm sorry for them, but Changsun Chong has promised me that he will take good care of these two children. After I leave, he will never marry again in this life, and he has wronged those two children."
The more Li Mingda listened, the more confused she became. She felt that Li Lizhi's words were concealed, so she didn't make it clear to her.
Li Lizhi also sensed that Li Mingda was suspicious. She held Li Mingda's hand tightly and explained again: "You must be very strange. Since one of us ran away and the other didn't marry, why can't we get together and live like this? Toss and separate, even I have to give up my honorable princess status and fake death as the price. But si, life is like this sometimes, when we are together, both sides feel uncomfortable, and when we are separated, we don’t have to look at each other and care about each other like we are together , I can let it go. He no longer has to be gentle and polite to deal with my savage princess every day, and I will no longer feel angry and uncomfortable because I can see but not get it. "
Li Mingda: "I can see it but can't get it?"
Li Lizhi knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and said with a wry smile, "Fifth Sister actually didn't want to admit it to you. She chose to harm me at the beginning. Since the day Chang Sun Chong married me, he has been 'diligently' being a son-in-law. Yes, very conscientious. Greetings and greetings every day, get together with me during festivals, and even willing to accompany me to conceive, take care of me, raise children with me, and play with children when I want children.
I can't find fault with him, he walks every step so properly, but he looks at me without emotion in his eyes, his greetings are always limited to courtesy, not from the heart.In the first two years with him, I thought he looked down on me because he wanted to be angry with me. I endured it, and after a while, he would naturally forget his past and old grudges.
But no, his memory is better than anyone else, his heart is more cruel and ruthless than anyone else, even if I tried my best to give birth to two sons for him, he just treats them well sincerely, and treats me only "just right" . "
Li Mingda was startled again and again, he really did not expect the husband and wife relationship between Chang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi to be like this.But Li Lizhi's so-called 'old hatred' is probably the key.
"He is a good man. Without me, life should have been comfortable and happy. But because of me, he has been restrained and suppressed himself all these years. Now that I am caught by you, I am not afraid to show myself and tell you, you My eldest cousin has never smiled sincerely since he married me." Li Lizhi really didn't want to admit this, because once she said it, it would be equivalent to admitting her own failures over the years in disguise.For ordinary people, this may be easier, but for a princess, it is a big deal to lose face.
"You are so wronged, you should tell us, tell Aye. Aye loves you so much, no matter what, he will not let you live in such a wronged way. Even if he is the son of the eldest grandson, he is no match for our royal family. My sister has always lived to understand why she is so confused about this matter." Li Mingda held Li Lizhi's hand tightly, telling her to think carefully and not make impulsive decisions.
"I am a princess. For the past ten years, I have lived like a joke. If I continue, I will lose both sides. Why don't you take a step back and let the sea and the sky go. I don't want to trouble anyone. Si, just pretend you can't see me and let me go." Okay, let me be the Fifth Sister and beg you! Fifth Sister is not afraid to tell you, if you really reveal this matter and tell Aye, I would rather die than stay in this prison full of cages place, imprison yourself."
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi silently, and wanted to say something else.But when she just opened her mouth, Li Lizhi stood up suddenly, and was about to kneel with her as soon as she gritted her teeth.
Li Ming Dawan didn't dare to do this, he hurriedly pulled her, and explained to her that he just said such angry words because she cheated her death and heard that she didn't want to recognize her as a princess.Now that he knew that she was wronged and wanted to escape, there was no reason for Li Mingda to make things difficult for her.
She wanted to ask Li Lizhi about the details of "the past and old hatreds", but seeing that Li Lizhi was emotional and crying heartbroken, and Bai Lu beside her was also begging, Li Mingda was afraid that she would do something stupid It's not easy to ask more.
But about Wang Changshi's letter, Li Mingda asked her why.
Li Lizhi shook her head, "I don't know. Fake death today is something I discussed with your eldest cousin a long time ago. It has nothing to do with that matter. Now I can't come forward to help you ask. You can do whatever you want." Investigate, people in my mansion must not dare to do anything wrong to you."
Li Lizhi immediately begged Li Mingda to keep her secret.Immediately seeing Li Mingda hesitated, Li Lizhi burst into tears and said: "Now this is the only way to live, my good sister, if you don't make it right, my sister really has only one way to go."
"Don't do that!" Li Mingda hurriedly stopped him, and immediately confronted Li Li, "Don't leave tonight. The Princess Mansion has already been implicated and investigated, so the people entering and exiting will naturally be taken care of. If you go out now, you will definitely be betrayed."
Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly thanked Li Mingda, saying that she would stay in the Princess Mansion for a few days, and leave after the news passed.
Seeing Li Lizhi lying back on the couch, Li Mingda no longer wanted to continue chatting with him. Knowing that she didn't want to say more, he told her, "Don't use too much ice to ice your arms. easy to get sick."
Li Lizhi was very surprised, she didn't expect that she used ice to cool her arms, but Li Mingda would see through it at a glance.
Li Lizhi then covered her head and cried out feeling uncomfortable.Li Mingda understood what she meant, she didn't want to listen to her questioning.So she did as she wanted, anyway, she couldn't leave the princess mansion for the next few days.
When Li Lizhi heard Li Mingda said that he was going to leave, his expression relaxed a lot, and he repeatedly asked Li Mingda to keep it a secret.
After Li Mingda came out of the house, Bai Lu hurriedly closed the door, for fear that someone would go in and find something.
Chang Sun Chong was still outside the door, seeing Li Mingda looking at him angrily, he raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, and asked how Li Mingda was.
Li Mingda glared at him coldly, "But I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Chang Sun Chong immediately asked why, and after hearing Li Mingda's recitation of Li Lizhi's words, he sneered and didn't say much.
"What's your attitude?"
"It's nothing, I've long been used to her avoiding the serious ones."
Li Mingda was still tired from the journey, when the news came, it happened not long after lunch, she changed her clothes and went to bed, ready to fall asleep.Because of her keen ears, the sound of breathing in the room can sometimes be heard, so when she really rests, she likes to send people away.
Now when Li Mingda heard the bad news from the Lizheng Hall, he was frightened. He immediately jumped off the bed and rushed to the door. When he was about to open the door, he heard footsteps coming from the Lizheng Hall. .
Aye must have sent someone to notify her.
"Is the princess still resting?"
Tian Hanshan outside the door nodded in agreement, and was about to say that he had just fallen asleep when Li Mingda cut off the conversation, "I haven't slept yet."
Tian Hanshan hurriedly opened the door, only to see his own princess with a bleak face and tears in her eyes.
Tian Hanshan lowered his eyes, wondering why, and said in a panic: "My lord, this—"
"Did something happen to Fifth Sister?" Li Mingda asked the eunuch who sent the message with red eyes.
The eunuch nodded.
Li Mingda was about to step away, but was pulled back by Tian Hanshan.
"My lord, you haven't worn your shoes yet!"
Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was standing on the ground with bare feet because he was walking in a hurry.She hurriedly turned around and sat down, let Tian Hanshan put on her shoes, then rushed to see Li Shimin, requesting to leave the palace immediately to see Princess Changle for the last time.
Li Shimin had just finished crying, and when he heard what his daughter said, he wept again, and immediately nodded in agreement, and took her to Princess Changle's mansion together.
After two sticks of incense, the father and daughter arrived at Princess Changle's mansion.
White silk has been hung up in the mansion, and funeral banners have been set up.
Changsun Wuji learned that the saint was coming, so he brought his sons Changsun Chong, Changsun Huan and others to pick him up, all of them looked sad.
Li Shimin didn't have time to care about these people's kneeling, and rushed straight into Changle Princess Li Lizhi's bedroom.He saw the pale face of his daughter lying on the bed, lifeless, tears fell down again.Li Mingda followed Li Shimin, and she was also crying, but when she stood firm and looked at Li Lizhi, Li Mingda's eyes froze slightly, and the tears stopped flowing.
Li Shimin was going to hold his daughter's hand, but when he touched it, he felt cold to the bone, telling him clearly that his fifth daughter had passed away and was lifeless.
Changsun Chong was at the side to comfort him, asking him not to stay here too long, so as not to hurt his feelings again.
"She has had an asthma attack for a few days, and I wanted to tell the saint a long time ago, but she refused to let him worry about him. Perhaps she has noticed that she is not healthy this morning, and told me that if she comes in the future, Let me try to comfort the sage, don't be sad because she is not blessed to be the daughter of a sage."
Li Shimin became more and more sad when he heard this, and after being comforted by Changsun Wuji for many times, he nodded, and followed the sensible boy's last words, and let Changsun Wuji help him out.Li Shimin talked hoarsely to Changsun Wuji about the pain of losing his daughter, recalling Li Lizhi's past that was well-behaved and sensible, he became more and more sad and unable to control himself.
Changsun Wuji was also very sad, nodded in agreement, and was full of praise for Li Lizhi.Then he helped Li Shimin go out, Changsun Huan and other brothers also followed.
Li Mingda didn't leave, she quietly looked at Li Lizhi with closed eyes on the couch, she stood there motionless, seemed to be deep in thought, seemed to be in a daze.
Chang Sunchong accompanied the saint and his father for a few steps, then noticed that Li Mingda hadn't followed, and saw that the saint was still sad, talking a lot with his father.Chang Sun Chong gave Chang Sun Huan a wink and asked him to accompany him.
Changsun Huan agreed, knowing that Jinyang hadn't come out, and expected that she would be very sad and refused to leave her sister.The elder brother is her fifth brother-in-law and the closest person to Princess Changle, so it is naturally best for his elder brother to persuade her at such a time.
Changsun Huan left immediately without thinking too much.
The eldest grandson rushed to the door, seeing that Li Mingda was still in a daze, he winked at Tian Hanshan and asked him to inform her to come out so that they could have a good chat.
Tian Hanxi followed his advice.
But Chang Sun Chong waited for a while, but he still didn't see Li Mingda intending to go out, instead he went straight to Li Lizhi's direction.
Chang Sun Chong was very nervous, rushed in and called Li Mingda.
Li Mingda frowned, and looked at Zhang Sun Chong with wide eyes.The moment Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Mingda, he looked away and looked elsewhere.
Li Mingda smelled a guilty conscience.
The tears in the corners of her eyes have not faded, and the fundus of her eyes is red.Immediately, she turned her head and continued to walk straight towards Li Lizhi. The short distance of more than ten steps was accompanied by a beating that became more and more clear.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi's motionless face, sat down beside the bed, and grabbed her wrist.
Changsun Chong's eyes became tense.
"Is the body so cold when a person is dead?" Li Mingda seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be asking Sun Chong.
"When people leave, the body will indeed feel cold." Zhang Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Li Mingda sizing up Li Lizhi, his heart became more and more lifted.
Tian Hanshan repeatedly nodded in agreement, told Li Mingda that this was indeed the case, and advised her to leave earlier, so as not to be too hurt.
Chang Sun Chong quickly agreed, "If your sister was alive, she wouldn't have the heart to see you like this."
Li Mingda slowly put down Li Lizhi's arm, but her hand didn't move away, instead she touched the mattress on the bed.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi's face again, staring very carefully.
The eldest Sun Chong became more and more flustered, and repeatedly tried to persuade Li Mingda not to be sad, "You can't be too sad, you are too sad, no matter how uncomfortable your body is, the saint's sadness will only increase. Besides, you saw how he looked just now, I'm afraid that others can't coax him, so you have to go in person."
Li Mingda turned to look at Changsun Chong, "Then what about you, why don't you be as sad as we are, so indifferent?"
When Changsun Chong heard this, he hurriedly saluted and dared not, explaining that he was actually very sad, but because he wanted to welcome the saint and the lord, he had to control his emotions.
After saying this, Chang Sun Chong was puzzled in his heart why Li Mingda made such a statement.She has always been considerate and will not deliberately use words to make things difficult and embarrass others.But today, she has been abnormal since seeing Li Lizhi, could it be...
Changsun Chong frowned.
The camouflage is likely to be perfect at the beginning, but the longer the game, the more flaws will be exposed by the guilty side.
Li Mingda has seen many flaws now, from Zhang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi.
She really wanted to open her mouth and ask her questions quickly, but in the current situation, the matter was so important that she couldn't help but speak quickly without thinking about the consequences.
Li Mingda pondered for a while with his eyes down, and then he said to look for the saint.
Chang Sun Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to lower the curtain of Li Lizhi's bed.Then the two came out one after the other, and it happened that a servant from the princess mansion came over with some basins of ice.
Li Mingda reached out and grabbed a handful in the basin, the ice cubes were cold, and immediately turned into water in his hands, "This is it?"
"It's hot, just in case..." The boy who answered didn't know whether it was appropriate to say 'corpse rotten' or 'princess rotten', so his mouth stuck, not knowing how to express it.
Li Mingda immediately understood, and turned to Chang Sun Chong, "I didn't expect you to be well prepared."
Chang Sun Chong was stunned.
Afterwards, the steward of the Princess Mansion came forward and hurriedly said: "These things are prepared by the slaves, and everything that should be thought of has been thought of. Please rest assured, the slaves will definitely do their best to handle the funeral."
"You speak sincerely." Li Mingda sighed, and then quickly walked towards where Li Shimin was.
But when Chang Sun Chong heard what she said, he felt that there was something wrong with her words.Chang Sun Chong looked at Li Mingda with more and more complicated eyes. He used to think he knew the little girl's temperament very well, but now he doesn't understand at all. It's just that he hasn't seen him for half a year, and he is even more treacherous and difficult than the mind of a saint. Measurement.
After Li Mingda went to coax Li Shimin, it really had some effect, Li Shimin's grief was halved, he sighed a few times, and wanted to take Li Mingda back to the palace.Li Mingda refused and begged Li Shimin to let her stay in the princess mansion overnight.
"I want to send her off again." Li Mingda said.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he turned his head to Changsun Wuji and sighed that his son was sensible and valued love.
Changsun Wuji nodded, naturally he was not stingy in complimenting Li Mingda.Among the saint's daughters, there are only two that Zhangsun Wuji is most optimistic about. One is Princess Changle, who has become his daughter-in-law, and the other is Princess Jinyang in front of him.On the surface, the two children seem to have a stable and gentle temperament, but Sizi has a suitable temperament, and is more lively than Li Lizhi.It's a pity that she is a little younger, if he had had the choice back then, he would have let his son be the princess.
But now that the eldest grandson's mansion has left a princess, with the glory of his eldest grandson's family, it is not impossible to give up another princess.It's just that among the sons, there is none that he thinks is suitable for Li Mingda.Changsun Huan was too naughty, and he didn't have a serious and steady look on weekdays.Although the third son, Sun Jun, is stable, he is not bad in talent and learning.It is not shameful to take it out, but there is nothing outstanding.It is not obvious everywhere, but it is mediocre.Without the talent of a general, how can he match up with Princess Jinyang and compete with other children.
Changsun Wuji looked at such a good niece in front of him, and sighed melancholy when he thought that he couldn't get it.
When Li Shimin heard this, he patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder, "You don't have to blame yourself and be too sad, Lizhi is her fate. After she is gone, she can talk to her mother underground."
When mentioning the Changsun family, Li Shimin was sad again.There is no woman in this world who is as virtuous and understanding as Changsun's, who can really approach his heart.Daughter Li Lizhi is also a very considerate and gentle beauty. When he was angry before, this girl would follow her mother's temperament and persuade him to feel at ease.But the two Xie Yuhua left him one after another because of the same illness.
Because of this, Li Shimin became even more flustered. Looking at his other daughter whom he loves most, he suddenly worried that his son would also suffer from severe asthma like her sister and mother when she turned around.
"Follow me back to the palace. You are young and not in good health. You can't stay too sad for a long time." Li Shimin said with a changed face.
Li Mingda was a little dazed, he didn't know why his father suddenly changed his attitude, he hurriedly pulled his arm, and assured him that he would be fine.
"I just have some things in my heart. I haven't had a chance to talk to Fifth Sister before. Now that she's gone, if I don't say anything, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart. After a long time, I feel more and more regretful. I will be sad." Li Mingda caught Li Shimin's weakness with a few words.
Li Shimin then sighed, finally agreed.
"Father, please leave the guards to watch me. I will be obedient." Li Mingda glanced at Chang Sun Chong defensively from the corner of his eye, and then added a word to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin agreed without thinking, and then went.
After Li Mingda sent his father away, he sent away his eldest grandson Wuji so that he would not have to worry about himself.
Changsun Wuji was still not at ease, and asked Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan to take good care of Li Mingda, so he went here.
As soon as Changsun Wuji left, Li Mingda raised his head and winked at Changsun Huan, telling him to go as he should.
Changsun Huan was so happy, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you cousin."
Then he also withdrew.
At the moment, Changsun Chong and Li Mingda are left.
Ever since Chang Sun Chong heard that Li Mingda insisted on not leaving, he had almost confirmed it in his heart, and Li Mingda had discovered the clue.So he is a little nervous facing Li Mingda now, and he hasn't felt this feeling for a long time.
Li Mingda walked towards the direction of Li Lizhi's corpse, and took a few steps. These steps made the heart of Chang Sun Chong behind him beat extremely fast.
Li Mingda paused, and turned to the garden of the Princess Mansion, chose a pavilion at random, and ordered Cheng Chubi, Tian Hanshan and others to wait ten feet away.
Li Mingda leaned against the vermilion lacquered pillar, and looked at Chang Sun Chong seriously.
Chang Sun Chong already felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he lowered his eyes halfway, ready to stop with silence.
Their cousins have been getting along since childhood, needless to say their feelings.So at this moment, for Li Mingda, he didn't feel any fear at all, he seemed to be neither humble nor overbearing, but his nervousness almost forced him to turn around and run away immediately.
However, the matter must be solved by escape, and what's more, this matter was not his idea alone.
Li Mingda calmed down for a while, but still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, tilted his neck and glared at Sun Chong angrily: "What are you guys making trouble about?"
Chang Sun Chong was stunned again, and looked at Li Mingda puzzled, "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the princess means."
"Cousin, it's about time. It's just you and me. You don't have to pretend to be with me. I can see that you know the truth. I also know that you and eldest sister are more than ten years older, have more knowledge and know more. But why do you want to do this? What is she planning? What are you planning?"
Chang Sun Chong still lowered his head halfway, as if he couldn't understand.
Li Mingda laughed angrily, "Okay, you don't understand, do you?"
After all, she strode towards Li Lizhi's room without saying a word.Cheng Chubi and Tian Hanshan hurriedly followed.Seeing this, Changsun Chong went after him.
Li Mingda told Cheng Chubi while walking, "You all wait outside the house for a while, and tonight, watch me closely."
Although Cheng Chubi didn't understand why, but seeing the princess's reaction, he knew that this matter was not simple, so he kept it in his heart and agreed immediately.
Arriving at the door of the house where Li Lizhi's body lay, Changsun rushed over quickly, blocking Li Mingda's way, with a slight warning in his eyes: "What are you going to do?"
"Then what are you stopping me for? Are you guilty? I want to see my Fifth Sister again. What's wrong? Is the eldest son-in-law necessary to be so nervous?"
Chang Sun Chong had never seen Li Mingda so majestic and powerful, so he let go slowly.
Li Mingda entered the room alone.
Chang Sun Chong looked at Cheng Chubi, Tian Hanshan and others who were waiting for orders outside, and was stunned for a while, then closed his eyes helplessly, knowing that the matter must not be hidden.
The four maids of Princess Changle were guarding the room. When they saw Li Mingda enter the door, they bowed their heads in salute. Their faces were slightly strange, and they became more nervous as Li Mingda got closer to Li Lizhi.
Li Mingda stood beside Li Lizhi's bed, staring at her face, "Father is gone, uncle is gone, everyone who should go is gone, I came in alone. The son-in-law of the eldest grandson is now outside the door, hesitant to enter , I don’t know if I’m afraid of me or you.”
Li Lizhi on the bed still had her eyes closed, motionless.
Li Mingda stretched out his hand to grab Li Lizhi's hand, but Bai Lu, the big maid next to him, hurriedly said: "Your lord, why bother, the person has already gone, looking at it several times, it's just adding to my sadness."
"I don't understand why she left all of a sudden." Li Mingda stopped his hand in mid-air, and finally took it away without touching Li Lizhi.
"I have been sick for a long time. This spring, I have had a sudden attack. I have never seen better. After a long time, it will naturally become more and more serious. In fact, the princess's body has not recovered for a long time. Everyone in the mansion knows the princess's condition, but it is not sudden. It's just that the sage told him to keep it secret so that he wouldn't worry about it, so it never came into the palace." Bai Lu said.
Li Mingda smiled, "Is——?"
Bai Lu was stunned, Princess Jinyang's smile obviously had another meaning, she could see it.
"So there was a plan." Li Mingda sighed.
Bai Lu was stunned again, "I don't know what your lord's words mean?"
"How long are your masters and servants going to act in front of me?" Li Mingda stood up abruptly, staring at Li Lizhi, "You dare to pretend to be dead like this, even your own biological father, brothers and sisters who are related by blood. Lie, why on earth are you?"
Bai Lu opened his mouth slightly, startled, and turned to look in Li Lizhi's direction in a panic.
Li Lizhi's expression remained the same, but then her little finger twitched.
With Bai Lu's current situation, he closed his eyes helplessly, feeling that this big secret really couldn't be kept secret.
"Fifth sister still doesn't want to wake up? Are you planning to tell Aye about this, so you open your eyes again?" Li Mingda asked coldly.
Bai Lu looked at Li Mingda defensively, then walked to his own princess, grabbed her arm, and called out "your lord" meaningfully.
Li Lizhi's eyelids moved, and then she finally opened them slowly, following the sound and looking at Li Mingda.
Li Mingda saw Li Lizhi 'alive', and his heart burned to the corner of his mouth, "Does Fifth Sister know what she is doing? You are hiding it from everyone, what are the consequences of playing fake death?"
With Bai Lu's support, Li Lizhi regained her composure, then smiled wryly, tears falling down one by one.
"Of course I know, your Fifth Sister is not a fool." Li Lizhi said hoarsely.
Li Mingda: "..."
She didn't speak, just looked at her silently, waiting for her further explanation.
"Are you the only one who discovered this? Or have you already told Aye?"
"If you tell him, I am not the only one standing in front of you at this moment." Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi with some dissatisfaction, and asked her what she was thinking to do such a heartless thing, "Do you know that Aye How sad and how many tears I shed when I learned the news of your absence. How could you lie to everyone like this, but why did you lie to everyone like this?"
Li Mingda seldom complains to others, but today she is completely resentful towards Li Lizhi.Why would she make fun of her own life and death, and play fake death in front of her dearest and dearest?This kind of irresponsible behavior made Li Mingda angry.
It was the first time for Li Lizhi to see Li Mingda throwing anger like this. She was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "It's not a joke. From today onwards, I'm not Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, nor your sister."
"Really?" Li Mingda was even angrier when he heard that she was still talking to him like this.
"Yes."
"Okay, then since you are not Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle, you are not my Fifth Sister. Now that you see me, why don't you kneel down and salute me, the Imperial Princess Jinyang!" Li Mingda questioned.
"You—" Li Lizhi's complexion changed, and she was choked speechless.
"Look at you, you obviously can't let go of your identity, but you want to do such unreasonable things. Do you really see that everyone is sad for you, and only happy when you play around?"
"Si, you don't have to say such harsh words to provoke me. I did something wrong. But the matter has reached this point, what's the use of you talking about it. You have to replace me for my fraudulent death." Confidential."
"You can make up a passable reason to explain that you have been resurrected. For example, the servant girl misjudged and fainted suddenly after taking the medicine, making people mistakenly think that you have gone. No matter what the excuse is, just explain the past, and I will help you in the past. Aye, talk to me." Li Mingda quickly thought of a solution, and suggested to Li Lizhi.
"No, I don't want to go back to the past." Li Lizhi said calmly.
Li Mingda also calmed down, frowning in silence.In fact, from the moment she accompanied Li Shimin into the house to the moment she noticed Li Lizhi's heartbeat, Li Mingda knew that Li Lizhi's shocking move must have been premeditated, and she must have thought about it several times.But no matter what the reason is, in Li Mingda's opinion, Li Lizhi shouldn't leave everyone behind and just walk away.
After all, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she can solve many things just by opening her mouth. How can there be so much grievance that she can escape until she must die?
Li Mingda really didn't understand, maybe she didn't know much.
"So you are still a child, you don't understand anything when you are young." Li Lizhi sighed, and stretched out her hand for Li Ming to come to her.Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi defensively, stood where he was, and didn't want to go.
"Fifth Sister knows the seriousness of this matter, and if she wants to do this, then I don't need to say more." Li Mingda said goodbye to Li Lizhi immediately.
Seeing this, Li Lizhi panicked and told her not to leave.Seeing that Li Mingda was not stopping, she hurriedly got off the ground to pull her, and Bai Lu and others in that room also hurriedly blocked the door, not daring to let Li Mingda go out.
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi, and the two sisters just stared at each other, speechless.
Bai Lu found out that his lord had never even worn shoes, he exclaimed, and rushed to fetch the shoes.
Li Mingda sighed: "When I heard the sad news of your death earlier, I was just like you. I stood on the ground with bare feet and was stunned for a long time. I couldn't stop crying. For a moment, I even wished I could go with you."
Li Lizhi was weeping, and hurriedly grabbed Li Mingda's hand, begging her to listen to his explanation.
The reason why Li Mingda didn't publicize it was to listen to this explanation, so Li Lizhi pulled him to sit by the window.
"Sister, you have experienced a lot in the past six months. You should know that being a princess is not as peaceful and smooth as the world thinks. How can you enjoy the glory and wealth and spend your days leisurely and leisurely? Surrounded by true and false , many conspiracies, many times you have to spend your whole life with someone you don’t like.”
Li Mingda was startled, and looked at Li Lizhi in amazement, then she glanced in the direction of the door, "Fifth Sister, what do you mean by that, do you mean that you and your eldest cousin treat you—"
"I have fulfilled the responsibility of continuing the future generations for their eldest grandson's family, which is already the biggest concession I have ever made." Li Li protested.
Li Mingda: "I don't understand, Fifth Sister can't live with him? Then make peace, why bother to fake death."
"He has no fault at all, and our identities are so prominent, and we are bound to attract opposition from many parties. Even if we are exhausted and exhausted, we really separated successfully. I am afraid that the trouble will be known all over the world. Can't go on any better."
Li Mingda had to admit that there was some truth in Li Lizhi's words, "Then you have been together for so many years, and you have two children, how are you doing well? It used to be fine, why suddenly..."
"It was not good before, and it has always been bad... But we tolerated each other, and out of our status and responsibilities, we had to have children step by step. Don't blame your fifth brother-in-law, he is not wrong, he has always been gentle and polite to me." Li Lizhi When mentioning those days, the bitterness on his face flooded into a sea.
"Fifth sister, are you lying to me? According to what you said, you two hate each other. But I have seen the way you look at him, and I have heard how happy you are when you talk about him... Now you tell me that you don't like him, how can I believe it. I really don't like it, when Aye made this marriage for you, how could you not even say 'no'?" Li Mingda repeatedly questioned , making the tears on Li Lizhi's face flood more and more.
Li Mingda asked Li Lizhi again: "How many people knew about your fraudulent death? The son-in-law must know about it, right?"
"There aren't many people, except him, the four of them, and you." Li Lizhi replied, "I planned to get through today, but this is the last time Aye sees me, so I don't have to appear in the The eldest grandson's mansion is gone, and he promised to cover up the matter for me afterwards. But your appearance..."
"Where are you going? Recluse?"
"Go to Jiangnan Dongdao, find a place to live near the sea, watch the sun rise and set every day, and grow old peacefully, without worrying about the troubles of the world."
"Yan'er, what about Xu'er? Do you have the heart to leave them behind and leave them alone?" Li Mingda asked.
Li Lizhi looked sad, "I'm sorry for them, but Changsun Chong has promised me that he will take good care of these two children. After I leave, he will never marry again in this life, and he has wronged those two children."
The more Li Mingda listened, the more confused she became. She felt that Li Lizhi's words were concealed, so she didn't make it clear to her.
Li Lizhi also sensed that Li Mingda was suspicious. She held Li Mingda's hand tightly and explained again: "You must be very strange. Since one of us ran away and the other didn't marry, why can't we get together and live like this? Toss and separate, even I have to give up my honorable princess status and fake death as the price. But si, life is like this sometimes, when we are together, both sides feel uncomfortable, and when we are separated, we don’t have to look at each other and care about each other like we are together , I can let it go. He no longer has to be gentle and polite to deal with my savage princess every day, and I will no longer feel angry and uncomfortable because I can see but not get it. "
Li Mingda: "I can see it but can't get it?"
Li Lizhi knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and said with a wry smile, "Fifth Sister actually didn't want to admit it to you. She chose to harm me at the beginning. Since the day Chang Sun Chong married me, he has been 'diligently' being a son-in-law. Yes, very conscientious. Greetings and greetings every day, get together with me during festivals, and even willing to accompany me to conceive, take care of me, raise children with me, and play with children when I want children.
I can't find fault with him, he walks every step so properly, but he looks at me without emotion in his eyes, his greetings are always limited to courtesy, not from the heart.In the first two years with him, I thought he looked down on me because he wanted to be angry with me. I endured it, and after a while, he would naturally forget his past and old grudges.
But no, his memory is better than anyone else, his heart is more cruel and ruthless than anyone else, even if I tried my best to give birth to two sons for him, he just treats them well sincerely, and treats me only "just right" . "
Li Mingda was startled again and again, he really did not expect the husband and wife relationship between Chang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi to be like this.But Li Lizhi's so-called 'old hatred' is probably the key.
"He is a good man. Without me, life should have been comfortable and happy. But because of me, he has been restrained and suppressed himself all these years. Now that I am caught by you, I am not afraid to show myself and tell you, you My eldest cousin has never smiled sincerely since he married me." Li Lizhi really didn't want to admit this, because once she said it, it would be equivalent to admitting her own failures over the years in disguise.For ordinary people, this may be easier, but for a princess, it is a big deal to lose face.
"You are so wronged, you should tell us, tell Aye. Aye loves you so much, no matter what, he will not let you live in such a wronged way. Even if he is the son of the eldest grandson, he is no match for our royal family. My sister has always lived to understand why she is so confused about this matter." Li Mingda held Li Lizhi's hand tightly, telling her to think carefully and not make impulsive decisions.
"I am a princess. For the past ten years, I have lived like a joke. If I continue, I will lose both sides. Why don't you take a step back and let the sea and the sky go. I don't want to trouble anyone. Si, just pretend you can't see me and let me go." Okay, let me be the Fifth Sister and beg you! Fifth Sister is not afraid to tell you, if you really reveal this matter and tell Aye, I would rather die than stay in this prison full of cages place, imprison yourself."
Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi silently, and wanted to say something else.But when she just opened her mouth, Li Lizhi stood up suddenly, and was about to kneel with her as soon as she gritted her teeth.
Li Ming Dawan didn't dare to do this, he hurriedly pulled her, and explained to her that he just said such angry words because she cheated her death and heard that she didn't want to recognize her as a princess.Now that he knew that she was wronged and wanted to escape, there was no reason for Li Mingda to make things difficult for her.
She wanted to ask Li Lizhi about the details of "the past and old hatreds", but seeing that Li Lizhi was emotional and crying heartbroken, and Bai Lu beside her was also begging, Li Mingda was afraid that she would do something stupid It's not easy to ask more.
But about Wang Changshi's letter, Li Mingda asked her why.
Li Lizhi shook her head, "I don't know. Fake death today is something I discussed with your eldest cousin a long time ago. It has nothing to do with that matter. Now I can't come forward to help you ask. You can do whatever you want." Investigate, people in my mansion must not dare to do anything wrong to you."
Li Lizhi immediately begged Li Mingda to keep her secret.Immediately seeing Li Mingda hesitated, Li Lizhi burst into tears and said: "Now this is the only way to live, my good sister, if you don't make it right, my sister really has only one way to go."
"Don't do that!" Li Mingda hurriedly stopped him, and immediately confronted Li Li, "Don't leave tonight. The Princess Mansion has already been implicated and investigated, so the people entering and exiting will naturally be taken care of. If you go out now, you will definitely be betrayed."
Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment, and quickly thanked Li Mingda, saying that she would stay in the Princess Mansion for a few days, and leave after the news passed.
Seeing Li Lizhi lying back on the couch, Li Mingda no longer wanted to continue chatting with him. Knowing that she didn't want to say more, he told her, "Don't use too much ice to ice your arms. easy to get sick."
Li Lizhi was very surprised, she didn't expect that she used ice to cool her arms, but Li Mingda would see through it at a glance.
Li Lizhi then covered her head and cried out feeling uncomfortable.Li Mingda understood what she meant, she didn't want to listen to her questioning.So she did as she wanted, anyway, she couldn't leave the princess mansion for the next few days.
When Li Lizhi heard Li Mingda said that he was going to leave, his expression relaxed a lot, and he repeatedly asked Li Mingda to keep it a secret.
After Li Mingda came out of the house, Bai Lu hurriedly closed the door, for fear that someone would go in and find something.
Chang Sun Chong was still outside the door, seeing Li Mingda looking at him angrily, he raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, and asked how Li Mingda was.
Li Mingda glared at him coldly, "But I didn't expect you to be such a person."
Chang Sun Chong immediately asked why, and after hearing Li Mingda's recitation of Li Lizhi's words, he sneered and didn't say much.
"What's your attitude?"
"It's nothing, I've long been used to her avoiding the serious ones."
