Huaibi

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings, and the first suffering is life.

People in the world are only lucky when they live, and they don't know that this kind of luck is the most painful. Only after going through a lot of difficulties can they look down on the heart of life and death.And among all the mortal beings, those who look down and see through will know why they are not afraid of death.

That's why Li Qingjue is not willing to die, but not afraid of death.

He was born for Ping Huaizhen, and he can also bravely go to the sea of ​​blood for it. After some affectionate Ping Huaizhen saw it clearly, but he couldn't distinguish the life and death in his heart.

Li Qingjue had expected that for what happened today, Ping Huaizhen would definitely be angry with him.

In the dream, waves of fire rolled, and a phoenix emerged from nirvana.

Li Qingjue reached out to touch it, but before he got close to the wing feathers, he touched a piece of flames, and his hands were burnt so painfully.

He opened his eyes and woke up slowly. The room was peaceful, with no fire or phoenix. Only the son of the real dragon sat silently beside him, against the thick sunset that could not be blocked by the thin window paper, his face was as heavy as a mountain pressing down on the top, tightly wrapped around his palms.

Li Qingjue moved his fingers slightly, but he couldn't break free, and called out "Prince" in a hoarse voice.

After a while, the strength in Ping Huaizhen's hand was gradually released, and the two people's palms were already sweating.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

The abrupt words seemed to be questioning, and they fell into his ears forcefully. Li Qingjue pursed his lips and did not answer. He curled his fingers and held his knuckles, as if he refused to let go.

Ping Huaizhen didn't expect this action from him, her expression unavoidably loosened, and she didn't want to make him feel soft-hearted, she turned her head and looked away.

Li Qingjue still saw it, did not expose him, and said to him in a low and gentle voice: "Today Lianhua told me to cherish the person in front of me. Although I feel that the suffering I have experienced and the hatred I have carried Forget it, but it is always right to cherish the people in front of you.”

Ping Huaizhen has never been so angry with him: "Since you know how to cherish the person in front of you, why don't you know how to cherish yourself?"

With such a sentence, Li Qingjue refuted it back.

Li Qingjue was speechless, and looked at him, seeing that those eyes had never looked at him so angrily for many years, and he didn't know what it was like, so he sat up, moved forward, and raised his arms to hug him.

"Don't be angry, you have never been angry with me, I don't know how to coax you."

Ping Huaizhen's throat was blocked, and he could not utter half a sentence of anger.

Li Qingjue closed his eyes and hugged him, feeling that his shoulders were looser, guessing that he was not so angry, so he could tell him frankly: "I went to find Mrs. Yuan this morning, and I didn't tell you beforehand, because you never will let me go."

"you……"

"Listen to me." Li Qingjue tightened his arms. "Although I am taking risks, I am not afraid of death, but I am not seeking death. You should be as clear as I am about how the Yuan family is. I will definitely not add insult to injury and put me in a disadvantageous position. You must understand these principles, but you can’t listen to them when I tell you, I really have no other way, so I went alone.”

Everything he did was for him, and every bit of it was included. Li Qingjue sacrificed in every possible way. If he was still so depressed, he would appear to be very unreasonable.Ping Huaizhen didn't know what to say for a while, so he sighed twice, looking back, his eyes were red, and he kissed that forehead: "You know I won't listen, so don't talk about those reasons, I just want You don’t take half the risk anymore.”

"I promise you, there will be no next time." It is true that there is nothing to help in the future, Li Qingjue has done his best, and the rest of the road is nothing more than traveling with him.

Hearing the words, Ping Huaizhen felt much better, hugged him back with distress, bowed his head and kissed him again, and slowly pushed him back on the soft couch, while kissing, he did not forget to reach out to the window railing, and touched the tightly closed carved flowers Window buckles.

Messy clothes fell to the ground, and the sound of breathing in the room became more and more chaotic. Li Qingjue squeezed his arms tightly with half-closed and blurred eyes, and joy flowed through his body.

The warmth of the room didn't stop until night fell. Li Qingjue was sweating all over his body, and his arms and legs were weakly nestled against Ping Huaizhen's neck.

There are still many difficulties and obstacles in the road since then, but as before, he and Ping Huaizhen go together, and he will go to the farthest distance, and one day he will be able to climb that high platform.

Ping Huai's anger has all disappeared, and at this moment, when I think of Li Qingjue's sentence "You have never been angry with me", my heart can't help but feel soft and soft, and I bury my head on the neck with the refreshing aftertaste that has not dissipated. rub.

Li Qingjue supported the back of his head with his palm, and listened to him in a distracted state: "The mother's condition has become worse and worse recently."

"How is the queen?"

"I can't see clearly with both eyes, it's hard to guarantee that I will never..."

Li Qingjue frowned. He knew that the Queen's symptoms were caused by attacking the poison with poison at the beginning. Now that the poison has been forced into his eyes, it is no longer optimistic. Mr. Chao Ming."

"The queen mother also said the same."

Ping Huaizhen propped himself up on his elbows, looked down at him like water, his side hair slid down over his shoulders, and the ends tickled the people beneath him.Li Qingjue moved, held the bundle of hair in his hand, looked back, and said with certainty like a prophecy: "No one can take away thousands of miles of mountains and rivers from you. The queen can see it, the princess can see it, and I can see it too." arrive."

"Okay." Ping Huaizhen but only one word, when the rhyme is connected, everything can be said without saying.

Not long after, Li Qingjue changed his mind and asked again: "I just saw Mrs. Yuan this morning. You already knew about it in a day, but the Yuan family took the initiative to send someone to find you?"

"No," Ping Huaizhen smiled helplessly, "I saw Yuan Jing in Prince Ping's mansion, but the old lady acted resolutely. After saying goodbye to you, she told you everything and asked him to go to the mansion to find King Ping to negotiate. .Because of this coincidence, I knew it so quickly."

"So that's the case, the Yuan family really has a heart." Li Qingjue felt relieved and nodded to him.

"I was one step behind you." Ping Huaizhen vaguely wanted to blame him again, seeing that Li Qingjue had no choice but to stop talking, "Forget it, I'll call someone to prepare water for a bath."

Li Qingjue nodded, and waited for him to get up and pick up the clothes on the floor and walk outside, leaving half of the room quiet.

The prince stayed for a long time that night, and waited until Yueming left just like the night before, which made the loyal Jiang Chang very anxious.

Ping Huaizhen listened to the advice in his ears but felt a headache. It would be too troublesome to invite Li Qingjue to the Zhao residence every time he was looking for Li Qingjue. This person is open to the public.

But this thought had only been raised for more than a month, and suddenly something happened in the palace.

Xu said that the previous winter was extremely cold, and Emperor Hongxuan had contracted a cough since the beginning of spring. The disease persisted for a long time, but it became more and more severe.The whole imperial hospital was at a loss what to do, and one prescription after another was prescribed, but Emperor Hongxuan didn't get any better.

Emperor Hongxuan still looks majestic in front of people, but his face is haggard, his blue shadow is gone day and night, and his body is no longer what it used to be.

Ping Huaizhen knew that Emperor Hongxuan was struggling for state affairs and refused to show any signs of illness, but he did not expect him to be so ill. Until the morning of the day, he heard the cough getting worse and worse, as if he was about to get sick. He coughed out his heart and lungs before giving up.

He raised his head anxiously, and at that moment, he saw a trace of blood coughing out from the corner of Emperor Hongxuan's mouth, which stained his white and red beard.

All the civil and military officials turned pale in shock, leaned over and called out "The Emperor" in pain, Wei Ping, who was full of lead, knelt down slowly after a long time, his eyes refused to move away, staring at the fishy color fiercely, for a moment Thinking about the queen, and thinking about Emperor Hongxuan in front of him for a moment, his thoughts were chaotic.

The prince was frightened and knelt beside the dragon seat, holding a cotton kerchief in his hand to wipe off the blood stains on the corners of the emperor's lips. Those trembling hands kept shaking, so that Emperor Hongxuan couldn't bear to wait, so he personally took them and wiped off the blood. He covered his weakness for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Get up for me, why are you so flustered? I can't die yet."

None of the ministers dared to say anything, the darkness covered the area, only the rustling of the clothes could be heard one after another, all the adults stood up and still bowed their backs, looking sad.

In the silence, Ping Huaizhen regained his mind and body, clenched his hands into fists under the wide sleeves of the court clothes, and he has already understood everything very clearly.

There is no doubt that Emperor Hongxuan is approaching his twilight years. All "long live, long live" are all falsehoods. How can a mortal body escape birth, old age, sickness and death?

He has been favored by his father for many years, and has lived as the crown prince for 33 years. Although he wishes to become emperor as soon as possible to get rid of the dangers and troubles behind him, but the relationship between father and son comes first, and he does not want to be the emperor at the cost of losing his father.

However, the sky cannot be controlled by people, this is the only way, and he has to accept his fate.

The most important thing for now is whether the six princes will secretly do something when Emperor Hongxuan is ill.

The time of change is approaching, he needs to calm down and take precautions in every possible way, so as not to lose the hands of the sixth prince, not to waste many years of hard work, and make the dynasty's rebellious officials and brother killers in power, turning it into a historical event. An absurd joke.
