Entering August. The day is getting hotter and hotter, and the acquaintance of Daming Palace is annoying, and the little eunuchs are busy sticking bamboo poles.

However, the prison, which does not belong to the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, only accepts the emperor's orders and holds special prisoners, is very shady.

I didn't even hear the sound of cicadas, and the bloody breath in the depths of the chain door made people panic.

In such a ghostly place, Li Jingxiao, the king of Yue, sat down in front of a cell slowly, took out a letterhead in his arms, and handed it in through the iron fence.

"The letter that Miss Araden brought to you. ”

Sitting in the prison are the former imperial concubines, King Zhao and Li Jingpei, but now he is defeated, but he is just a prisoner who is in danger.

Because the final verdict has not yet come down, there is a last bit of scruples, and the officials in the prison are not difficult for Li Jingpei, the surroundings are still clean, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and they are not tortured.

In addition, he sat on his knees, straightened his back, and his face covered with green stubble did not have any extra waves, and he was as calm as an old monk who had settled down.

However, as soon as he heard the word "green dragonfly", he immediately pounced on the lice and grabbed the letterhead: "How is her? How is the king's child? What are you doing with her?"

How about three in a row, cold with a tentative pout, and not polite to this king of Yue who is in the limelight.

Li Jingxiao didn't mind, rubbed his wrist and said: "This king just took you into custody, and the final verdict still has to wait for your father, so before this, no one dared to be too presumptuous to you, so your daughters and dependents were all detained in King Zhao's mansion on the spot, and they had no worries about food and clothing." The king said hello, no one dared to slack off, and sent the imperial doctor to ask for a safe pulse for the green dragonfly, and the child in the belly was fine. ”

Li Jingpei was silent for a long time, and then lowered his head: "Thank you." ”

"You don't have to worry about her, she's so much better than you think. Li Jingxiao smiled and continued, "Since you were imprisoned in the prison, she forcibly broke out of the Zhao Mansion to see me, and actually moved out of the relationship of the Xin Mansion, asking this king to spare your life." I didn't realize that she was such a tough girl. ”

Li Jingpei was slightly startled, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at King Yue, his eyes were a little red.

Li Jingxiao also looked at Li Jingpei seriously and sighed lightly: "She is sincere." ”

"Not bad. So, I'm not negative. Li Jingpei took a deep breath and secretly clenched his fists, "I know, I was too ridiculous in the past, I did foolish things, and I couldn't stand many people, including Pei Yanzhen." But after meeting the dragonfly, I wanted to have the courage to ask God for forgiveness. ”

Li Jingpei paused, his tone was a little unstable, and the corners of his eyes were a little sparkling: "I want to live again for the rest of my life." ”

"Brother Dare to love the emperor for the first half of his life, all of them lived in vain?" Li Jingxiao smiled.

Li Jingpei was stunned. The face of the mother prince Yi suddenly crossed in his mind, always so beautiful, so noble, but so untouchable.

In the first half of her life, she was her son, but she couldn't get back a "Pei'er".

He never knew his mother, only the queen mother, and the tentacles were all cold phoenix crowns.

He used to live to wait for this "Pei'er", but now, what he wants to wait for is a "husband" and a "father".

He finally has it, and he is willing to wait again, and spend the rest of his life waiting, another woman.

Li Jingpei shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "What I said is funny, isn't it? But do you believe it, when you meet someone, at that moment, you will rewrite the rest of your life." ”

"I believe it. Without any hesitation, Li Jingxiao immediately replied, but after saying this answer, his eyes were also a little unstable, "This king envies you, envy the imperial brother, envy you and the green dragonfly......"

Li Jingpei smiled, without any impurities, revealing a circle of big white teeth, as if he was still the little prince who did not eat the suffering of the world and only ran around the queen all day long.

"Fourth, I once fought against you, do you complain?" Li Jingpei said softly.

"Resentment? That king won you, locked you up, and robbed you of all your future and wealth, don't you complain about me so much that your heart is blocked?" Li Jingxiao smiled loudly, with a little joke, "You really don't worry, I will go to my father's emperor, how to deal with you?"

"Win or lose, there is nothing to say. At the beginning of raising the army, no, I was born in Daming Palace, and I expected it. Li Jingpei tugged at the corners of her mouth, and her eyebrows were fainted, "If you want to kill me, please take care of yourself." Just spare the dragonfly and my future child, and I will pray for you in the underworld. ”

Li Jingxiao squinted slightly: "Brother Huang, you and I have no reason to fight each other, but we have been carried by everyone in the bureau to get to this point." ”

Li Jingpei looked out of the only iron window, a star of the summer sun, stabbing his eyes, he didn't close his eyes: "The throne, power, and merit are not as good as a smile from the queen mother, and the queen mother is happy, so I will take it for her." It's just this reason, no one in the world believes it, so I'm tired of it. ”

What people in the bureau believe is only the word profit, and there is absolutely no true feelings.

People in the world only have one meritorious deed, and there is no sincerity.

So Li Jingxiao lightly opened the topic, because there was no solution, so there was no need to answer: "The queen guards the gate of Chang'an for this king, and when Wang Jian is arrested in the end, she will use it wisely." At that time, the merits and demerits were offset, and the king would keep her safe. So you can rest assured. ”

"In this case, can I ask for more?" Li Jingpei still looked at the little copper-spotted sun, and said absurdly, "Pei Yanzhen, my former princess, I let her go, allowed her to remarry, and promised her protection in the name of King Zhao." It's a pity that I'm in this situation, I just wish I wouldn't implicate her. It's that I'm sorry for her, but I'm ashamed. ”

"You don't have to worry about this. This king will replace you and give Pei Yanzhen protection. Li Jingxiao responded without hesitation, "This king admires her courage for her divorce of you, and respects her, and will keep her safe." ”

In this way, there is no need to worry. ”

Li Jingpei smiled faintly, Xu stared at the sun outside the window for a long time, and tears finally came down.

Rolling down silently, unable to distinguish joy and sorrow, but unprovoked makes people feel lost, this unselectable fate.

He worked hard all his life, and he never thought of becoming a prince.

It's the son, it's the husband, it's the father, and finally, it's just being himself.

Li Jingpei quietly wiped away the tears, bowed to Li Jingxiao, it was a bow between his hands and feet, and his back bent silently.

"Thank you for coming to see me at last. The brotherhood of this life is gone. In the next life, I just want to be a common man, know how to do crafts, open a shop, and there is a ginkgo tree in front of the shop. My mother and I live together, my mother is long-lived, I met the green dragonfly, she smiled very good, and a pair of children, no disease and no disaster. I will take them to Chang'an to play, point to Daming Palace, and tell them that the dragon with the tip of the glazed tile is called a kiss. ”

There was a moment of silence in the prison.

I could faintly hear the wind blowing through the deep palace, the glazed tile tips of the beasts, and the golden bells ringing.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound, and a cloth bag was placed in front of Li Jingpei, and the cloth bag was loosened, and four things could be seen inside.

A volume of royal decrees, the red seal is "the secret of the king of Yue". A book of Ding, the ink seal is still new. A small basket with some silver in it. There is also a handful of Sijing fruits.

Dried longan, dried lychee, dried peach and shelled peanuts are said to be blessed with prosperity and prosperity.

Marry. This is a gift from the people to congratulate their marriage.

The fireworks of the world, the love and righteousness of the world, bloom to the end at this moment.

Li Jingpei was stunned. I could only hear Li Jingxiao's voice coming slowly, a little unreal, as if it was the first time he knew this younger brother.

"Whatever you say about the next life, it's all ready for you...... Take the green dragonfly away, and I wish you all a long life...... By the way, I also told the queen about this secret order, and she asked me to tell you...... Plant a ginkgo tree in front of the door, and one day, she'll find ......."

A gentle breeze blew from outside the iron window, sending bursts of lotus incense.

It is obviously a prison separating life and death, but it seems to be blooming all over the place.

"Fourth brother!"

Li Jingpei came to his senses, raised his head and wanted to call that man, this was the first time he had called him like this, if the people, the most ordinary brothers, are the best sons.

However, all that answered him was the muffled sound of the heavens' doors opening and closing.

The sound seemed to hit his heart hard, and he laughed, laughing so much that tears came down.
