Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Fourth Chongguan Anger For A Beauty (2)
"Your Highness, are you okay? Your Highness, please don't scare me, Your Highness..."
Seeing that Li Xian's face suddenly turned as white as paper, Gao Miao was really anxious. He gently shook Li Xian's body and cried out with a look of panic on his face. [bsp; "
puff!"
Li Xian's complexion turned from pale to purple, and then from purple to black. Finally, he opened his mouth, and a mouthful of dirty blood spurted out like mist, falling to the ground in a fluttering manner. It was so bright and shocking.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, someone is coming, someone is coming quickly..."
As soon as he saw Li Xian vomiting blood, Gao Miao was frightened and started crying and shouting wildly.
"No, it's okay to be alone!"
Li Xian was so excited that his inner breath was so agitated that he lost his breath. This mouthful of blood spurted out, which made him feel much better. With the "Tian Xing Gong" running at full strength, all the bruises and obstacles in his body were instantly removed.
As soon as it was swept away, his spirit immediately lifted up. Seeing Gao Miao crying in anxiety, Li Xian felt a warmth in his heart. He squeezed out a faint smile with difficulty and waved his hand to stop Gao Miao's shouting.
"Your Highness, you are vomiting blood. I will call the imperial doctor right now!"
Gao Miao looked at Li Xian and then at the large blood stains on the ground. He really couldn't feel relieved and begged with a grimace.
"No, Gu's vomiting of blood must be kept secret and must not be spread outside. Remember! Go away, Gu must live in peace and quiet."
Li Xian shook his head slightly and gave a firm instruction.
"But..." Gao Miao was about to persuade, but he saw that Li Xian's brows were already furrowed. Naturally, he did not dare to insist anymore, and bowed and said, "Yes, I obey." Then, he turned back step by step.
He exited the study, his face full of unconcealable worry.
The old thief must have done this deliberately. Damn it! This damn bitch! When he thought of what Empress Wu had done, Li Xian felt angry for a while, but he quickly calmed down, because Li Xian knew very well about blindness.
Anger cannot solve the problem at all, it can only make the already bad things worse. Now, only calmness can find a correct way to deal with it, and if you want to solve this problem, you must start from
Basically find out the true intention of Empress Wu's move.
There is no doubt that Empress Wu did not want to see Zhao Qiong marry into the Zhou Dynasty. Li Xian can be sure of this. As for why, recalling the incident in his previous life when Empress Wu used poison to kill Zhao Qiong, Li Xian has already guessed it - Zhao Qiong's previous life.
Therefore, the marriage to Li Xian was not arranged by Empress Wu personally, but by chance when Gaozong was traveling, he met Zhao Qiong who was accompanying his father, and on a whim, he decided to marry Li Xian.
This violated Empress Wu's two taboos - firstly, Gaozong did not consult Empress Wu for her opinion, which made Empress Wu dissatisfied; secondly, there were many descendants of the Zhao family, and they were all officials. This was true.
The situation that Empress Wu was least willing to see was because Empress Wu did not want her sons to have the possibility of borrowing the power of their relatives, so Empress Wu was destined not to tolerate Zhao Qiong, so it was inevitable to kill her. And the reason why she did this
This kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks is probably also due to this kind of consideration.
The root of the problem has been found, but how to deal with it is still open to debate. Obviously, Li Xian will never sit back and watch Zhao Qiong marry someone else, let alone a small Qianniu prepared, even if it is Gao Qiong.
If the emperor wanted to accept a concubine, Li Xian would never give up. There was no doubt about the fight. It was just a matter of how to fight - begging Empress Wu? Impossible! For people like Empress Wu who were ruthless and righteous, no matter how Li Xian fought,
No matter how much you beg, it will have no effect at all. As for Gaozong, you can try your best, but you can't say it directly. You have to find an appropriate time and excuse. It's a pity that time waits for no one. On Gaozong's side,
Obviously, there is little hope. In this case, there is only one option left - let Wang Yi disappear from the world!
Huh? No! There's something fishy! Li Xiangang thought of getting rid of Wang Yi, and suddenly he thought of a possibility, that is, Empress Wu was most likely using a fishing strategy, thinking that Zhao Qiong was planning to marry her to catch him.
A big fish took the bait. If Empress Wu secretly arranged for an ambush, the consequences would be disastrous!
What a vicious old thief, she actually played such a dirty trick. Hey, just wait and see, I am not a fool! The more Li Xian thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was probably true, and in his heart
The anger that had subsided could not help but surge up again. He cursed angrily and paced back and forth in the study a few times. Then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
"Someone is coming!"
Li Xian has always been a man of action. He has made up his mind and will not hesitate at all. With a flash of light in his eyes, he raised his voice and drank.
"The slave is here!"
Gao Miao was waiting worriedly outside the study. When he heard Li Xian's words, he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed into the room in panic. He first looked at Li Xian's face with concern, and then bowed and answered.
"Go, Xuan Luotong will come to see you immediately!"
Li Xian didn't explain much and gave the order straightforwardly.
"Your Highness..."
Gao Miao originally wanted to persuade Li Xian to ask the imperial doctor to check the injury first, but before he could say anything, he saw Li Xian frowning in displeasure. He did not dare to say more, so he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly left the study.
Luo Tong is not mentioned.
"Want to play? Then let's play big!"
After Gao Miao left, Li Xian stood silently for a while, then clenched his fists, smiled coldly, and murmured to himself, his words full of cruelty...
At the end of the Youshi period, the sky gradually darkened, and it was already the time to turn on the lights. The Zhao Mansion was brightly lit as usual, but it had lost all its previous warmth. The whole house was lifeless, with a faint aura of sadness flowing.
Everyone in the house, young and old, looked unhappy, and the servants coming and going were all in a hurry. Everyone looked in danger, and the sound of crying could be heard from a wing of the main courtyard.
"Don't marry, just don't marry, don't marry no matter what, wuwu, no, don't marry, mother, please go and beg daddy, the child would like to stay with his parents forever, and does not want to marry..."
After learning about Empress Wu's proposed marriage in the afternoon, Zhao Qiong was stunned. She still couldn't believe that such bad luck would befall her. All the weapons such as coquettishness and crying that were always effective in the past were lost.
As a result, no matter how much trouble she made, her usually amiable father just refused to let go. This made Zhao Qiong so heartbroken that she had to take the last resort - a hunger strike. Unfortunately, she still couldn't see the slightest sign of it.
hope.
"Oh, silly boy, there is nothing your father can do. With the Queen's decree, your father... Oh, girl, just accept your fate."
Zhao Qiong's mother, Mrs. Zhao Liu, was a very virtuous woman. She had always loved Zhao Qiong, a young girl, and she cried with her for most of the day. She tried to persuade her again and again, but after all, there was nothing new. After all, there was only one.
Reason - Yizhi!
"Mom, why did you give such a decree? Can't we not listen to it? Dad just wants to be an official and has no place to bury his daughter with him for the rest of his life. My daughter refuses to accept it!" Zhao Qiong has a very strong character. In this hurry, she naturally
He dared to say anything, but Zhao Liu's face changed drastically when he heard it.
"Girl, you're crazy. That's the Queen. How can people like us talk about it and seek death!" Zhao Qiong's words are really treasonous. If word spreads, everyone will be copied and executed.
Mrs. Zhao Liu was just an ordinary person, so how could she withstand such a fright? She quickly reached out and covered Zhao Qiong's mouth, and scolded her angrily.
"If you don't want to get married, you just don't want to get married. If dad wants to get married, he should get married himself!"
Zhao Qiong pulled Zhao Liu's hand away regardless, and replied angrily and hatefully.
"You girl!"
Mrs. Zhao Liu raised her hand anxiously and angrily, ready to strike, but in the end, she still couldn't bear to do it. In desperation, she simply ignored Zhao Qiong's crying and got up, shaking her head and sighing.
When they got to the side room, they saw Zhao Mingquan standing outside with his hands folded, listening in the corner. The old couple looked at each other, shook their heads, and walked towards the main room one after the other.
Where is he? Why didn't he come to save me? He, will he come? Yes, he should, but Keren, why hasn't he come yet? Zhao Qiong lay on the couch and cried for a while, and suddenly remembered what he saw yesterday
Li Xian couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. Sometimes he thought that Li Xian would appear, and sometimes he thought it was impossible. Under these random thoughts, he became a little crazy, sitting in a daze, silently shedding tears.
"Creak"
Just when Zhao Qiong was in a daze, there was a soft knock on the door hinge, and the little maid Zijuan rushed in through the crack of the door carrying a not too big package.
"Zicuckoo, why are you here?"
During the day, Zijuan was angered by Zhao Mingquan because she was protecting Zhao Qiong, and was driven to the outer courtyard to work as a maidservant. When she suddenly appeared, Zhao Qiong was really surprised.
"Miss, did I force you again?"
Zicuckoo tilted her head and looked at Zhao Qiong's red and swollen eyes, and sighed with pity.
"Yeah." Zhao Qiong nodded, then shook his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Ignore him, I just won't marry, let's see what he can do!"
"Alas, Miss, if you are here at home, you will have to get married if you don't want to." Zicuckoo said with a bitter look on her face and a sigh.
"That……"
Upon hearing what Zicuckoo said, Zhao Qiong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up again, as if he had an idea, but then he lowered his head in frustration.
"Miss, if you really don't want to get married, then you'd better leave quickly. I've already packed some money and belongings, which should be enough to cover your expenses for a few days. It's best to leave this house first and then make plans." Zicuckoo shook her head.
He held the package in his hand and said something of persuasion.
"Ah, this, this..."
Zhao Qiong didn't expect Zijuan to actually think of the front of her. She immediately became excited and jumped down from the couch. She seemed to be rushing out of the wing, but when she looked in the direction of the main room, she couldn't help but hesitate again.
Get up, after all, if she leaves like this, her parents will probably be responsible for all the charges of resisting and disobeying the decree. Needless to say, the consequences will be serious, but if she doesn't leave now, it will be decided early in the morning.
At that time, I was afraid that even if I wanted to leave, I would not be able to leave. I was in a dilemma and couldn't help but froze on the spot...
