Like close friends, Li Zhiyun and Changsun laughed while walking and chatted about their recent lives.
Li Zhiyun still mainly complained, saying that the Khitans did not abide by the rules and that God was still tormenting the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Changsun tried his best to persuade him to look away, and by the way, he told some interesting things that happened around him to soothe the emperor's mood.
After a while, Li Zhiyun stopped and felt the cool breeze.
"Mr. Guanyin, I'm glad you are with me."
"I'm just doing my best," Changsun said calmly.
Now, the relationship between her and the emperor is not that close, but it is not the estranged relationship it was at the beginning. Occasionally, when the emperor holds her hand, she does not feel so repelled. Maybe time can really dilute it, or even
Including her former husband.
But the last stubbornness in her heart still prevented her from accepting the emperor's wishes calmly. The two of them always kept a distance, and holding hands on a regular basis might be the limit.
A hint of disappointment appeared on her pretty pink face, mixed with some tangles.
Now she really doesn't know how to face the emperor's feelings. If the emperor wants her body at this time, will she refuse?
Inexplicably, she remembered this embarrassing thing.
Noticing her expression, Li Zhiyun thought she was embarrassed, so he said: "If you don't like to patrol with me, just stay in the palace next time. There is no need to force yourself."
To be honest, as there are more and more women in the harem, he likes Changsun's soul more than her skin. Of course, there is no need to question Changsun's beauty. However, Changsun brings him spiritual pleasure.
, but it is incomparable to the women in the harem.
Of course it is possible for the Queen to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. However, the Queen is also busy now. There are more women in the palace and more children, so Queen Yang has more things to do.
Concubine Yin De gave birth to a son in November of the second year of Zhenguan, named Li Chengjing. Concubine Wei Guifei gave birth to a son in the first month of the third year of Zhenguan, named Li Chengming.
In addition, one or two of the women who entered the palace through the draft were pregnant.
As far as sons are concerned, Li Zhiyun is still very capable.
Changsun shook his head and did not explain anything.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was slightly silent. He knew that his relationship with Guanyin had reached a bottleneck. If he could break through, it would grow rapidly, and even the dragon returning to its lair would not be impossible.
It's just that he doesn't know how to break through.
Going the romantic route?
no.
Changsun is a woman with a strong sense of duty. If she wants to win a smile with a fortune, it may be counterproductive.
This problem continued to bother Li Zhiyun until he returned to the palace to rest.
When Changsun brought him supper, Li Zhiyun looked at the beauty under the candlelight and suddenly figured it out.
When Yu the Great controlled floods, it was better to remove them than to block them.
Since he encountered a bottleneck, he should probably take the initiative and get through it directly.
As a result, Li Zhiyun took the rare initiative in front of Guanyin and held her in his arms.
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Changsun was a little panicked and pressed her hands against his broad and solid chest.
She had imagined this moment countless times and thought about what she would do if the emperor used force on her.
Verbal rejection?
Heartbroken?
Or, half-assed?
Until this moment came, her mind was blank, just like when she first married her husband.
At a loss.
"I don't want to wait any longer." Li Zhiyun hugged her tightly, "Whether you hate me or scold me, I don't want to wait any longer. I want an answer."
Changsun looked at him blankly.
"What answer does Your Majesty want?"
"Can you follow me wholeheartedly?" Li Zhiyun looked into her eyes and said, "Maybe I am too greedy. I want both your people and your heart, but I am the emperor and I am so greedy!"
Confessing his true feelings openly and honestly left Changsun at a loss as to what to do.
After a moment, she stopped resisting and whispered: "Your Majesty takes great care of me, and I should serve you. However, I don't know how to face Erlang when I die in the future."
At this time, she didn't want to say anything to ask the emperor to pay attention to the impact, because the emperor didn't care at all.
And she chose to reveal her true feelings.
Her heart was indeed shaken, but she still had concerns.
He had no face to see Li Shimin after his death.
At this time, mentioning Li Shimin might be a disgraceful thing. But Li Zhiyun knew very well that if he wanted Guanyin Maid to follow him willingly, Li Shimin would be an obstacle that they could not overcome.
It must be addressed head on!
"You don't have to face it. When I see my second brother after I die, I will end it with him myself!" Li Zhiyun said sonorously and forcefully.
Hearing this, Changsun remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun knew that there was still one last step to go.
He lowered his head gently and sniffed her hair.
"Guanyin Maid, I know your thoughts, and I also know your concerns. I have said that I will not force you. I can wait until you change your mind. Even if you don't agree to me in your life, I will continue to wait.
If you love someone, you should obey her.
I can wait."
After saying that, Li Zhiyun gently let go of her and said with a sad face: "Of course, if you really don't want to accompany me, then I won't force you. After a few years, I have also figured out that you and your second brother are more in love than gold.
Jian, I'm afraid...that's all, I won't say anything anymore, you can go back, I won't bother you again in the future."
After the words fell, the emperor sighed heavily like a deflated rubber ball.
Seeing the dejected look on the emperor's face, Changsun actually felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Why is this happening?
Shouldn't I be happy?
The night the two broke up, one of them was in the room waiting for the result with fear. The other fell into deep self-examination.
Looking at the dark roof, Li Zhiyun was very nervous. If she didn't come tonight, he would never have the chance to get everything she had in the future.
It would be best if she came.
At this moment, Li Zhiyun became extremely nervous.
On the other side, Changsun didn't know what was going on with him.
The emperor gave himself a chance to leave, but why was he unhappy?
Not only am I unhappy, but I feel like I have lost something.
Why?
Tossing and turning, she sat on the couch.
Carefully review every moment of getting along with the emperor.
He unabashedly covets himself, his caring love, and his last duty...
The more I think about it, the stronger the shadow of the emperor becomes.
And the figure of her former husband is becoming more and more vague.
She even couldn't remember every detail of her husband's life with her.
If the emperor leaves her, she and Li Zhi will really become orphans and widowers for the rest of their lives.
If the emperor had never taken care of her, she might not care about it, but she had felt the emperor's heart. Since the death of Li Shimin and the death of her children, she has become more and more afraid of losing.
Thinking of this, Changsun suddenly understood what he was thinking.
So, she stood up and opened the door.
"Take me to see His Majesty."
"Yes." The waiter ordered.
A moment later, in Li Zhiyun's room, Mrs. Changsun sat silently beside his couch. The servant wanted to hold the candle, but Li Zhiyun stopped and sent him away.
"Have you thought clearly?" Li Zhiyun's voice came from the darkness.
Changsun said softly: "Your Majesty, please give me three years."
"Three years?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.
"Yes, within three years, I will lead my practice and repay the love between me and Erlang. I feel guilty for him, so please give me three years to put an end to the past. I don't want to take my feelings for my late husband with me.
Your Majesty is with us, please forgive me."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was ecstatic!
He suddenly sat up and hugged her into his arms.
"Don't say three years, I can wait for thirty years."
A smile appeared at the corner of Changsun's mouth. He always accommodated himself in this way. Even if he mentioned his deceased husband in front of him, he would not blame him.
Perhaps, this is why I can't refuse him.
Li Zhiyun let go of her and asked, "Are you going to leave Chang'an to practice?"
"No, I am practicing cultivation with my hair, so I can just fast in my house." Changsun said.
"Okay, okay, okay." Li Zhiyun said: "If you need anything, just come to me at any time. I will definitely promise you."
Changsun said: "I have nothing to do with you, as long as your majesty is willing to wait."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "I have already waited for three years, so what's the point of waiting for another three years."
It has been three or four years since Takeru ascended the throne in the eighth year of his reign. He, Li Zhiyun, is willing to wait for Guanyin, and he can afford to wait!
"I can promise you to help me practice, but you must take the medicine prescribed by Sun Simiao on time. You must not be careless about your Qi disease."
"Yes, I understand."
At this moment, she found that there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
