There are few people who are not afraid of death. The so-called fearlessness of death is generally just the desperation when you are cornered. Li Xian is no exception. Although he has the memory of three generations, he has no intention of performing a heroic act.
The drama of dying young, being so oppressed by Wu Meiniang at this moment, the sweat on his forehead immediately rolled down involuntarily - no one in the entire Tang Dynasty understood Wu Meiniang better than Li Xian, he was a ruthless and unrighteous person to the extreme.
As a demon, there is nothing he dares not do in order to achieve his ulterior motives. In his eyes, the so-called affection between mother and son is nothing more than a joke. Li Xian himself did not dare to expect him to be very kind to him.
.
Admit his mistake? It seems very simple. It only takes one sentence. The problem is that Li Xian cannot and does not want to. Just retreating now means that there will be no burial place in the future. The retreat no longer exists, and all he can do is
Only the word "persistence" is left. Even if it may be in vain, it is still better than waiting to die without doing anything. Therefore, even though the sweat is pouring out, even though his legs and feet are shaking slightly, Li Xian still refuses
Back down easily.
"Father, emperor, mother, and sons and ministers believe that what the seventh brother said is true. The impact of Lord Shangguan's case has been too great, and the government and the public have been shocked by it. It seems that it is not appropriate to act hastily, and it is better to be more cautious." In the unbearable silence of the group, Li Xian
Finally, he couldn't hold himself still anymore, gritted his teeth, stood up from the side, and reported the report loudly.
Huh, you finally stood up. Damn it, couldn't you have done it earlier? As soon as Li Xian came forward like this, Li Xian couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart dropped to the ground - the reason why Li Xian dared
Taking the risk of standing up to confront Wu Mei Niang, it is certain that Li Xian will jump out to support him, not only because this matter involves Li Xian himself, not only because Li Xian has stated his intention to follow Li Xian, but more importantly, because
Li Xian calculated that Li Xian's upright temper would definitely explode on such occasions, and most likely he would come forward to argue, thereby diverting Empress Wu's attention. Facts have proved that Li Xian was right!
"Emperor Father, Empress Mother, and I think what the Sixth and Seventh Brothers said is very good. It is better to be more cautious after all. I would also like to ask the Emperor Father to judge." As soon as Li Xian stood up, Prince Li Hong couldn't sit still.
He didn't want to see Li Xian steal his limelight. Secondly, he was also afraid that if he didn't stand out, if Li Xian completely defected to Li Xian, he would be in big trouble in the future. Of course, he could find someone for Empress Wu.
A little trouble is in line with Li Hong's original intention, and he is happy to join in the fun.
"Well, that's right, that's right, Mei Niang, look at this..." Although Gaozong was very much in favor of his sons' proposal, he didn't have the guts to make that decision in front of Wu Mei Niang.
After much deliberation, the decision was left to Wu Meiniang's hands.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the children can care about the country. I dare not not congratulate you for it. Well, since they all think that there is something hidden in Shangguan Yi's case, they should investigate it in detail. I think it's my concubine's opinion.
Come on, let it be handed over to the Third Division for another trial. After all, it is best to find out." Wu Meiniang is a smart person. Seeing that the father and son have a tendency to work together, she will not be tough at this time.
In the end, after giving Li Xian and Li Xian a meaningful look, he smiled and agreed with Gaozong, but there was a hidden tail in his words.
"Okay, then it's settled, come here!" Gaozong obviously didn't expect Wu Meiniang to be so easy to talk to. Seeing that Wu Meiniang agreed to the request, he couldn't help but get excited, and some of them couldn't wait to stand up.
He got up, drank aloud, and Liu Fuming, the eunuch who had been waiting outside, immediately led a group of young eunuchs into the palace at a trot.
"Fuming, go and pass on my oral instructions to all officials, saying that I will issue an edict to thoroughly investigate the prison sentence and Shangguan's case. We must get to the bottom of it and let all officials disperse first. We will discuss it in detail tomorrow morning.
It’s not too late to discuss!” In high spirits, Gaozong scolded Fang Qiu, waved his hands, and spoke excitedly. Liu Mingfu and others did not dare to neglect, and hurried to carry out the order according to the order.
A catastrophe that seemed likely to cause disaster in the palace actually disappeared without a trace. Gaozong smiled, Li Hong smiled, Li Xian smiled, and Empress Wu also laughed. The atmosphere in the hall was warm.
On the ground, there is a harmonious family scene with a husband singing and his wife accompanying him, a loving father and a filial son. It can be said that it is happy and harmonious, and the relationship is harmonious. However, Li Xian cannot be happy at all, even if he has a bright smile on his face.
Incomparable, but his heart is very heavy, because Li Xian has seen the backdoor in Wu Meiniang's words, and has vaguely guessed the actions Wu Meiniang will take. It is a pity that he knows, but Li Xian does not dare to say anything.
He didn't even dare to hint at anything - although Li Xian's interruption had diverted Wu Meiniang's attention, there was absolutely no guarantee that Wu Meiniang would not have any doubts in her mind, let alone that she would not secretly
Li Xian launched an investigation. Under such circumstances, how could Li Xian dare to act recklessly? If Wu Meiniang's murderous intention was really aroused, the consequences would not be something Li Xian could afford at this time. He was worried.
, how could Li Xian have the heart to enjoy such false and boundless family happiness? When he was in the palace, his heart no longer knew where he was flying.
"Where is Yun Heng's family in Qinling Mountains? The snow embraces the blue gate and the horse can't move forward!"
In the main room of Prince Zhou's Mansion, Li Xian, dressed in a white fox fur robe, stood in front of the open window. Even though the biting cold wind blew his face flushed, he never moved, looking at the pile of snow in the courtyard with blurred eyes.
, after standing in silence for a long time, he suddenly took a long breath and chanted with emotion, which was full of loneliness, just because he missed his home. Of course, it was not the home in front of him, but Deputy Mayor Li in the future.
s home.
Seriously calculating, including the fifty-five years in the previous life, Li Xian has lived in this dynasty for a full sixty-five years, which is one more year than the thirty-year career of Vice Mayor Li in later generations.
More than twice as much, but in Li Xian's mind, the home in future generations is the real home. Although he was busy with official duties at that time, Li Xian actually had little time to take care of his family, but the warmth at home far exceeded the contentment of this life.
This is the house of the emperor who is full of intrigues and intrigues. When he thinks of his wife and twin daughters whom he will never see again, Li Xian's heart aches terribly. Tears unknowingly come out of the corners of his eyes and flow freely down his cheeks.
With.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Just as Li Xian was silently suffering, a soft call suddenly came from behind him. Then, his body sank slightly, and a tiger skin coat was draped on Li Xian's body.
"Ah, no, it's okay, I was just blinded by the wind, haha, it's okay, it's okay."
Li Xian looked sideways and realized that the maid Yan Hong had arrived behind him at some point. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and explained a few words with a forced smile.
"Your Highness, are you really okay?"
Yan Hong obviously didn't believe such a far-fetched explanation. She looked at Li Xian suspiciously and asked hesitantly.
"It's okay. Look, isn't this good for me? Just go and do your work. Just stand there for a while." Although Yan Hong is considered a close person to Li Xian, Li Xian doesn't want her to know about her. The shameless woman just said a few perfunctory words and planned to send Yan Hong away.
"Your Highness..."
Staring at Li Xian's childish little face, Yan Hong's eyes suddenly dimmed, a wave of grievance welled up in her heart, and her eye circles slowly turned red - Yan Hong had been taking care of Li Xian's daily life all this time. After more than five years of getting along day and night, Yan Hong has long regarded Li Xian as her closest person. In the past, Li Xian would not hide anything from Yan Hong. Although they were called master and servant, they were actually more like sisters. Brother, but in the past few days, Li Xian seems to have completely changed. He still looks like a young man, but it feels like it is completely different from the past. Not only does he talk less, he is even alienating everyone in the room intentionally or unintentionally. Man, this made Yan Hong extremely hurt, but she didn't understand what she had done wrong, so she could only feel aggrieved secretly. She wanted to have a good chat with Li Xian today, but she didn't expect that Li Xian was still showing such refusal. The posture of a person thousands of miles away makes Yan Hongqing embarrassed.
"Sister Yanhong, you, you are... oh, don't cry, don't cry, it's really okay." Li Xian couldn't bear to see the girl cry, and then thinking about Yanhong's caring for her in the past, he couldn't help but Some people panicked and stammered to persuade him. Unexpectedly, the more he persuaded her, the more tears would flow on Yan Hong's face, which made Li Xian feel at a loss.
"Hey, Sister Yanhong, Gu Zhen is fine, he's just worried about some trivial things about being overweight, that's all, that's it, isn't it okay that Gu just doesn't think about it anymore?"
Seeing Yan Hong in tears, Li Xian felt very reluctant to leave. Suddenly he remembered that in his previous life, when he first ascended the throne and was deposed by Wu Meiniang and sent to Fangzhou, everyone around him dispersed, only Yan Hong and Gao Miao The two never abandoned each other and walked together all the way. In the end, Yan Hong died of illness in Luling due to overwork. Before leaving, Yan Hong still worried about Li Xian's future and kept telling Li Xian to be patient and patient. The intense love seemed to be right in front of his eyes, which filled Li Xian's heart with a sense of guilt. He hurriedly approached her, stood on his heels slightly, and tried hurriedly to wipe away Yan Hong's tears with his wide sleeves, but unexpectedly, he accidentally As soon as his feet slipped, he fell into Yan Hong's arms, and he and Yan Hong fell to the bed not far away. For a moment, his arms were filled with warm fragrance, and the fragrance hit his nostrils, which actually made Li Xian feel reluctant to leave. Lazy.
"Alas."
Yan Hong didn't expect to roll into a ball with Li Xian. She was afraid of hurting Li Xian. She ignored the slight pain in her back and hurriedly straightened up to check Li Xian's condition. Unexpectedly, Zuo Feng immediately It just happened to hold Li Xian's mouth, but she felt her chest tighten, and Yan Hong couldn't help but exclaimed.
This series of commotion was really loud. Cuiliu and others who were staying outside in the Nuan Pavilion were all alerted. Five or six little maids rushed in swarm. Seeing such a fragrant scene, all the people were shocked.
The maids couldn't help but were all dumbfounded on the spot, but Yan Hong was so embarrassed that she didn't care much. She pushed Li Xian's little body away in a panic, lowered her head and pushed away everyone, and ran out of the room.
"Hehehe...it's okay, it's really okay, I just fell down." Seeing all the maids standing in the room looking at the peepshow, Li Xian was not a thin-skinned person, but he was a little embarrassed.
Not being able to stand the attention of everyone, he laughed a few times and tried to explain. Unexpectedly, the more he explained, the more obvious he became. All the maids burst out laughing.
A home is like a home if it has laughter! Seeing all the maids laughing so happily, Li Xian was so embarrassed that he just laughed loudly along with him. The gloom that had accumulated in his heart for the past few days disappeared.
"Your Highness!"
Just as the whole room was enjoying themselves, Gao Miao, who was sweating profusely, suddenly ran in from the outside. He just shouted and then paused, with a weird look on his face.
