Tang Anan murmured in a low voice, closed his eyes, opened his mouth several times, and then asked: "You...you have no intention of...me... anymore?"
Li Xia looked at her and said, "Look, you still can't forget the past, but I said, I have forgotten."
"Forgot? It's so light...you..."
Tang Anan raised his head and looked at Li Xia's face, his beautiful eyes unblinking.
She seemed to have lost some of her expectations, her eyes dimmed, she stepped forward, reached out and touched Li Xia's face, and then his neck...
Finally, when Li Xia picked her up and placed her on the couch, tears fell from her eyes.
Li Xia then stopped to understand her belt.
Tang Anan cried for a long time and sobbed: "I... what I thought... was not like this..."
Li Xia knew that she was not in the right state, but was stuck in a state of compromise.
"You want to be sincere?"
Tang Anan was stunned for a moment, tears kept coming, and he bit his lips hard, but finally nodded.
"I am a prostitute...the last thing...the last thing I should want..."
"How many beautiful people these days who come from a bad background are living in the world? It's not your fault."
Tang An An cried more and more.
She didn't want Li Xia to see her cry, so she turned around.
She cried because she once had his sincerity but lost it.
Tonight, she was finally sure that she had completely lost his sincerity.
"You...you like Nian'er...not just...to make me angry?"
"No, I like Nian'er, not only because she saved me, she is girly, she is beautiful, or for other reasons, I can't explain, I think she is real, and I can easily face her."
"And me?"
"You are really beautiful even on the back of your head, but for me it is too delicate and unreal. It is very awkward and uncomfortable for us to face each other."
These words were a bit hurtful, and Tang Anan was speechless for a moment.
Li Xia stood up, wiped the nosebleed with a handkerchief, and said: "I have never been a gentleman, and I am also very lecherous. If you are willing, we can continue. I really miss you tonight, but you have to consider
clear.
I want to be happy because I know that even if I get tired of sex in the future and listen to her talk about things, I will feel comfortable accompanying her. I will always go to accompany her. Because 'Li Langjun' originally came from her.
Her words were very vague and she had only one appearance. It was only after she met me that she became clear about me.
You are different. You are too clear to 'Li Langjun' and too clear to me, Taimohu. You and I are not comfortable getting along with each other. We will have one encounter tonight, one encounter tomorrow night, even many encounters. But if you have this kind of discomfort, you will stay with me forever.
You will end up alone in the empty boudoir. I didn't consider this in the past, because I was too messy. But the world is different, and people value innocence. This matter has a lot to do with your destiny, so you must consider it carefully."
Tang Anan didn't understand, but he understood it.
She looked at Li Xia for a long time and wanted to ask, "Then can you let me understand you clearly?"
With an aggrieved and coquettish tone, she knew she should ask that question in order to save him.
Mother Hu taught her in Fenglianlou.
But she didn't want to use what Hu's mother had taught her to deal with Li Xia, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Li Xia said: "I speak bluntly, I'm sorry. It's just that you have thought about what you want. For now, all I can say is that it doesn't matter if I support you for the rest of my life."
Tang Anan's fingertips trembled.
"You...will you support me forever?"
"keep your word."
Li Xia sat down by the couch and played with the handkerchief used to wipe the nosebleed.
He really wanted to do it. If he wanted to deceive Tang Anan, it wouldn't be difficult to say a few nice words.
But she is too lazy to coax, so she will promise as much as she can, if she thinks...
Tang Anan got up, cried, said a blessing, and ran away.
Li Xia shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and blew out the candle.
"Why bother?"
~~
After a while, there was a sound of pushing the door open, and the door was closed again.
In the moonlight, I saw the slender figure of a girl approaching.
Then, she stood on the couch, raised her feet and pushed Li Xia.
"Why are you bullying my girl? She's crying. You're so evil... I tell you, Nian'er is not afraid of you. At worst, you can beat Nian'er to death, but you are not allowed to bully my girl."
Li Xia took Nian'er down in one fell swoop.
"Don't worry, just listen to me and coax you."
"How can I be like you? I know I'm trying to coax people, but can I still listen to you?"
"..."
After a long time, Nian'er whispered something.
"Well, the girl said Nian'er should accompany...accompany..."
"It doesn't matter what she said. What about Nian'er's feelings?"
"I won't tell you. It's not like you don't know..."
~~
The moon sets and the sun rises.
Quanjiu stood up, sat down, combed his hair and dressed up in front of the bronze mirror.
After a long time, the gloom and sadness in her eyes were covered by her, and she regained her dignity and tranquility.
This just started a new day.
It was nothing more than helping Prince Rong's Mansion next door entertain the family members who came to express their condolences.
After a while, Quan Yongjian came over and said, "I can't figure out what Mr. Jia meant by his words yesterday."
"He won't let us investigate anymore." Quan Jiu whispered, "I'm not sure, but that's what Mr. Jia probably meant."
"What do you mean?" Quan Yongjian was completely puzzled.
Quan didn't answer for a long time, and said dullly: "Just don't check."
She felt the meaning behind Jia Sidao's words.
——If Li Xia did this, Zhao Yu must be involved. Otherwise, what is the explanation for Wei Guansun's ghost? How did the murderer get behind Zhao Yurui? Don't investigate, unless you want your unmarried husband-in-law to be found
Losing the position of prince is now the best result for everyone. It is useless no matter how convinced you are that it is Li Xia.
"But Mr. Jia is still investigating?" Quan Yongjian asked again.
Quanjiu was silent for a while and said, "Xiang Jia has his own purpose."
"What?"
Quan Jiu wished he could not say it directly, "Because the husband I am about to marry is a big fool. Jia Sidao wants to control him. Even we have been controlled by Jia Sidao. Didn't you see the look in his eyes that looked at everything yesterday?"
Are you here?"
She could only look at Quan Yongjian calmly and said: "Little sister, I kindly ask my brother to drink less in the future, so as not to hurt his brain, okay?"
Quan Yongjian was furious, and after a moment he whispered again: "You said it, the next person Li Xia wants to kill is me."
"If I had known today, why would my brother want to kill him in the first place?"
"You think I want to? My cousin asked me to do it!"
"Prince Rong has passed away."
"So!" Quan Yongjian said anxiously: "If you want me to listen to you, you should give me an idea! My cousin is gone, what should I do?"
"Brother, do you understand? Then why ask me what Mr. Jia's purpose is?"
Quan Yongjian was stunned and suddenly realized, "He wants us to listen to him? So he said, 'We are all relatives'?"
"Isn't it awesome? He has already made plans to deal with the Zhan Shi in Prince Zhong's Mansion." Quan Jiu said to himself: "This is a power struggle in the court. One step counts ten steps."
"What about Li Xia?"
"Li Xia can also count ten steps in one step. He is only so old and has returned to Lin'an for the first time..."
Quan Yongjian said: "I mean, what should I do if Li Xia wants to kill me?"
Quan Jiu said: "Jia Xiang said that he will not let such tragedies happen again."
"what for?"
"Jia Xiang will help his brother secretly kill Li Xia, and the official family will not blame his brother for this."
"It's me again?! What if I can't kill you anymore?"
No answer for a long time.
Jia Sidao said some words that her brother could not understand, but she could.
If Li Xia really colluded with Zhao Yu and failed to kill Li Xia, then she could only ask for the details and expose Li Xia in front of Zhao Yu...
After sitting for a while, a maid came in a hurry.
"Da Lang, Li Xia, the envoy of Sichuan Province, came to Prince Rong's Mansion to express his condolences. Princess Qian has invited her."
Quan Yongjian's face suddenly froze...
~~
Quan Jiu walked up to the high platform, looked down at the hem of her skirt, and felt that she looked very beautiful even in this plain outfit.
Looking up, I saw a figure walking through the front yard of Prince Rong's Mansion.
The whole courtyard was filled with relatives of the emperor, but Li Xia still stood out from the crowd.
Although they were far apart, Quan Jiu still seemed to be able to see her eldest brother's timidity and Li Xia's majestic appearance.
Until dusk, when the guests had dispersed, Quanjiu still stood there...
"You came here? I'm tired, so I can't find you." Quan Yongjian strode up to catch up, panting, but his expression was much more relaxed, and said: "Do you know what Li Xia said? He said that King Zhong is of His Majesty's blood. It is appropriate to establish him as a prince, establish the foundation of the country as early as possible, and also say that the Quan family is your majesty's closest relative!"
"Yeah?"
"I have a personal grudge with him." Quan Yongjian said happily: "He said that King Rong was in the immortal class and gave him the elixir as a great kindness and virtue. He will repay his kindness."
Quanjiu asked: "Brother's letter?"
"Why don't I believe it?" Quan Yongjian smiled resolutely, "Everything is the Holy Will, do you understand? The Holy Will lies with King Zhong, and Li Xia cannot violate the Holy Will. What he does is based on this. Have you found out? Those who refused to carry out the Holy Will are gone. You little girl is short-sighted and cannot guess His Majesty's thoughts. I was almost deceived by you."
"My little sister thinks that Li Xia's intention is that sooner or later he will pay back those few knife blows his brother made on him."
"Will I still believe you? Can I trust you?" Quan Yongjian smiled, raised his hand and pointed at Quan Jiu's nose, and said in a firm tone: "That's enough for you, don't tell me what to do anymore."
Quanjiu listened to the footsteps gradually disappearing and closed his eyes.
The family asked her to marry Zhao Fu, but she had no choice but to agree, so she decided that from now on she would be a mother to the world, and she worked hard to do it.
But her intuition told her that Li Xia had already killed the family's biggest backer, Prince Rong. Sooner or later he would pull her fiancé from the throne, and sooner or later he would chop her brother to death... destroying all her future.
She had foreseen all this.
This also made her think that she was so powerful that she could succeed King Rong and become Li Xia's enemy.
But then, Jia Sidao came to express his condolences and said a few words; Li Xia came to express his condolences and said a few words... which shattered her self-confidence.
They taught her that the power field was not something she could play with yet.
"You are just a bargaining chip for marriage, you just need to marry that fool, put it there. In Jia Sidao's eyes, you are a tool used to control Zhao Fu; in Li Xia's eyes, you are nothing. All they need is A few words can make you powerless. You are just a vase in the imperial struggle. You don’t need your will or your intelligence. You can only be placed by others..."
~~
Jia Sidao kept his word and asked Shicaitang to send several books to the family from time to time. The mixed notes recorded Li Xia's whereabouts.
Quan Yongjian dealt with it every time.
He believed what Li Xia said and believed that Li Xia would firmly stand on the side of the emperor's bloodline.
Quanjiu didn't believe it, but she had nothing to do.
She could only use this information to observe Li Xia. He spent most of his time hiding in the house, and occasionally went out just to travel with his beloved concubine.
Quan Jiu has realized that Li Xia is waiting to regain power.
Sure enough, half a month later...
"Sister Ninth, the shopkeeper of Shicaitang sent me this book."
Quanjiu opened it and saw the note inside.
"The Mongolian captives were in the southwest, and Li Xia was summoned to the palace..."
