When Li Chengqian heard that the crown princess had unbearable abdominal pain and was in a coma, his face suddenly changed, and he didn't have time to say a word to them, so he ran away as soon as he slipped away. Only Li Lizhen and Chai Lingwu were left looking at each other, standing awkwardly in the small garden outside the Lizheng Palace.

"You-"

Both of them spoke at the same time, and then they smiled with their faces hidden.

"You say first—"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and they looked at each other and laughed. Princess Changle pursed her lips and smiled, and then raised her hand to hide her face and smiled, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and her eyes were shining.

Chai Lingwu only felt that his heart was pounding, and his palms were full of sweat.

"You say, I'll listen. Princess Changle whispered, a little shy between her eyebrows.

Chai Lingwu didn't know what to say, he only moved his mouth, but he didn't make a sound. He felt more and more uncomfortable, and did not dare to look at her any longer, so he looked down at the patterns on the stone slab beneath his feet.

"I, I don't know what to say. He said hesitantly.

"So, what did you just want to say?" asked Li Lizhi in a low voice.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. On that day, it was me who was reckless and unscrupulous. In fact, I am quite subjective, and I am also cautious and vindictive. Chai Lingwu blackened himself.

Although he didn't want Li Lizhen to marry Changsun Chong, it didn't seem to be too good to ruin people's marriages. Moreover, no matter how you look at it, as long as the eldest grandson Chong does not jump too hard and interferes with the imperial power with the ambition of death, he will also be a person who will make great achievements in the future.

"Revenge?" Li Lizhi was confused.

"Well, Eldest Sun Chong has offended me before. Chai Lingwu is used to being poor anyway, and at this time, he can be regarded as eliminating his nervousness, and he immediately spared no effort on the road of self-blackening.

"You mean to say that what you said to me one day was nonsense?" asked Li Li again.

"Yes, yes, the princess's cousin is really a blue heart. Chai Lingwu smiled again.

Li Lizhi didn't laugh, but straightened her face and said angrily: "Cousin Wu, you are really boring. ”

"Huh?" Chai Lingwu saw that her face was obviously displeased, and her heart was full of anxiety.

"I like Cousin Awu who told me the truth that day. Li Lizhi said very seriously.

Chai Lingwu couldn't say anything, but Li Lizhi pinched a hosta flower with his hand, and said: "Although I was well protected by my parents and brothers, I was also the county lord of the Qin Palace, and I read history books. I will also judge the rights and wrongs of the things of this world. ”

"Princess, I-" Chai Lingwu couldn't go on.

"Cousin, now it's my turn to speak to you. Li Lizhi looked serious.

"Okay, I'll listen. Chai Lingwu hurriedly said, nervous in his heart.

"Cousin, thank you for your advice to me in the East Palace that day, and thank you for being genuinely good to me. Her eyes were sincere.

"Well, that's as it should be. Chai Lingwu was so nervous that his tongue was a little knotted.

Li Lizhi originally had a serious expression, and when she looked at the appearance of Cousin Wu, who had always been known for her poor mouth, she laughed with a "poof".

Chai Lingwu was even more embarrassed, but Li Lizhen said, "Cousin, I'll send you here." My mother is double-breasted and needs to be taken care of all the time. ”

"Good, good. Chai Lingwu hurriedly responded, and then he didn't care about the number of courtesies, turned around and ran, almost running away.

From that day on, he would think of Li Lizhi from time to time, and think of her smile. But at the same time, Li Lizhen's desire to marry Changsun Chong made him even more anxious. However, he was just thinking about it.

A few days later, Duguxin's seal letter was found, and the excavation of the treasure entered the stage of full-scale construction. As the heroes of this time, Chai Lingwu and Dugu Sinan were naturally invited by Li Chengqian to participate in the whole process.

He is a person who likes money, but looking at such treasures, he was indifferent for the first time, thinking about Li Lizhi absentmindedly, and wondering all day whether to think of a way to destroy the eldest grandson.

However, he was just thinking about it. Because if Li Lizhen, the client, had not thought about retiring from the marriage and not marrying Changsun Chong, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to move Changsun Chong.

This series of events made him, who had always been good-tempered, angry everywhere, and his whole person became more and more agitated.

No, no, this won't work! He rode his horse to Zhongnan Mountain, hung on a big tree, meditated and calmed down all night. The jackals, tigers and leopards circled around the big tree, howling terribly, and the pythons passed under the tree, and the grass broke. The mountain was extremely cold, he tried to convince himself, analyzed all the comings and goings between himself and Li Lizhen, and felt that he was sober, so he went down the mountain and returned to Chaifu.

On the day he returned, he fell seriously ill and slept groggily for several days. By the time he got better, all the treasures had been unearthed and transported. The household department has completed the inventory and compilation.

The emperor set up a small banquet. Because the great heroes Chai Lingwu, Dugu Sinan, and the prince are all members of their own families, the banquet is placed in the Lizheng Palace. His Majesty, in line with the principle of economy, did not do any singing and dancing, but simply ate.

The banquet was a dinner party, and when night fell, Chai Lingwu and Dugu Sinan went to the banquet. During this period, Chai Lingwu always thought about whether he could see Li Liqing, he was very absent-minded, and he didn't know what it would be like to drink.

Just when the wine had passed three rounds, a palace maid poured wine for him, and then whispered to him: "Princess Changle is in the back garden, and she has something important to discuss with her son." ”

Chai Lingwu heard that Princess Changle had something wrong, and he left the banquet under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Chai Lingwu said this, but stopped. Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke, who were listening carefully, couldn't help but glance at him, only to see him frowning tightly and pursing his lips tightly.

"Are you calculated?" asked Li Ke.

Chai Lingwu nodded and said, "When I arrived in the back garden, I felt dizzy, and a fragrant wind blew, so I was unconscious." It's been the next day after waking up, right in, right in Changle's bed. ”

Jiang Chengzi sighed, he thought about it not to be such a bloody plot, but now it seems to be true.

"Then did you sleep Changle?" asked Li Ke.

"I'm unconscious, how do I know? I don't remember at all. Chai Lingwu was angry when he thought of this.

"What's Changle's reaction?" Li Ke couldn't help but sit up and asked very seriously.

"Why do you ask so clearly, do you sprinkle salt on the wound?" Chai Lingwu was furious.

"This matter, it is clear that someone is calculating you, and no details can be let go. Jiang Chengzi interjected.

"Yes, you must not hide anything. Li Ke said.

Chai Lingwu sighed and said, "That's it, I'll tell you." Changle is red, I, what can I say?"

He was very helpless when he spread his hands, and Li Ke also frowned and fell into deep thought.

"What happened later?" Jiang Chengzi continued to ask.

Chai Lingwu also simply said it, Changle cried for a while, saying that someone must have framed him, and this matter could not be known to others. She wouldn't blame him, and then Chai Lingwu, who was very unconscious, was quietly sent out of the palace by Princess Changle, and asked him not to take it to heart, she wouldn't mention it to others.

"This-" Jiang Chengzi also felt that this thing sounded weird.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Li Ke suddenly looked at Jiang Chengzi and asked.

Jiang Chengzi didn't react for a while, so he asked, "What is me?"

"What would you do if it were you who met Changle?" asked Li Ke very seriously.

Jiang Chengzi sank his face and said, "I won't encounter this kind of thing." ”

"yes, I can't ask you. No one can count you unless you want to put that person to sleep. You can't be used as a reference. Li Ke shrugged.

Jiang Chengzi puffed out his cheeks, squinted at Li Ke, and snorted.

"Then find someone who can be used as a reference to ask?" Chai Lingwu rushed to the doctor when he was ill and put forward such an opinion. Then, he reaped the white eyes and disdain of Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi.

"You guys despise it, I just want to know what Changle thinks now. Chai Lingwu sighed.

"Let's not talk about Changle first, what do you think. Li Ke asked directly.

Chai Lingwu was stunned again, shook his head and said that he didn't know what he thought, and he couldn't help thinking about it. Changle said that day that he didn't blame him for this, let each other rot this thing in their stomachs, and wouldn't tell others about it. That shows that she is going to marry Changsun Chong, and he can't think about anything. After all, Changle's marriage was announced to the world by the royal family.

"But what if things change?" Li Ke asked again.

"How can things change?" Chai Lingwu asked Li Ke rhetorically, but at the same time, he thought of a possibility, and suddenly felt frightened and inexplicable.

"Changle is not the fairy of Pingkangfang, she is happy in case she has it. Li Ke asked very seriously.

"She, is she really?" Chai Lingwu only felt his brain buzzing.

"It's just that if what happens to her, we don't know. Jiang Chengzi immediately said.

Chai Lingwu's face was white, and he knelt in front of Li Ke with a "whoosh", and then bowed down and made a big salute, hoping that the King of Shu would draw the strings, and he would see Changle in person.

Li Ke looked at Chai Lingwu who was prostrate on the ground, and only asked calmly: "If what I just said is true, what will you do?"

The speed of his speech was very slow, and word by word was like a heavy hammer hitting Chai Lingwu's heart. In the past, he didn't dare to think about it, he thought about it all at this moment. He just thought a little that if she was really pregnant and willing to marry him, and from now on, she would be by her side. He was responsible for making lots and lots of money, and she was responsible for teaching the children. Growing old like this, regardless of the affairs of the world, idle clouds and wild cranes, it is really a comfortable life.

So, he prostrated for a long time, straightened up, and replied very seriously: "If Changle is willing to marry me." It doesn't matter if you offend the eldest grandson. Being expelled from the Chai clan is not a big deal. ”

"That is, you are in love with Changle?" Li Ke asked again.

Between heaven and earth, it was pouring rain, and the sound was like thunder, but Chai Lingwu heard his voice very clearly: "Yes, I am in love with her." ”

When he replied like this, the previous anxiety and boredom disappeared in an instant, and the whole person became very calm.

"That being the case, you stay at home well, and don't do anything about Jiannan Road. I went to the palace with Ah Zhi. Li Ke stood up as he spoke.

Jiang Chengzi also stood up, consciously put on a poncho, put on a hat, and opened his umbrella at the same time.

"Over there in the East Palace, don't you need me to go?" Chai Lingwu asked.

"Over there, it doesn't matter for the time being. Let's meet Changle first and see how she is doing. Li Ke replied.

"It's not important?" Chai Lingwu didn't understand.

"Whoever calculates it has no more than the following purposes. First, for the sake of long-term goodness, I don't want Changle to marry a despicable villain like Changsun Chong; second, in order to deal with the Chai family, let the Chai family and the Changsun clan turn against each other; third, in order to deal with the Changsun family, the Chai family, which has always remained neutral, will be completely dragged into the war and become the enemy of the Changsun family; fourth, in dealing with this matter, it is bound to involve a lot, and you can see the forces behind you, as well as the depth of the Shu King and the Yang family's six rooms that are close to you. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.

"That's right. How is this not important?" Chai Lingwu became agitated again.

"Because you are in love with Changle, you are going to marry her. Then, it naturally doesn't matter who the person behind it is and what the purpose is. Jiang Chengzi replied, and Li Ke nodded seriously.

Chai Lingwu suddenly felt guilty, because of his own carelessness, he actually caused so much trouble to his family and friends. He looked at Li Ke apologetically, moved his lips, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I caused you trouble." ”

"No hassle. Li Ke shook his head, but smiled instead, and said, "You have been among thousands of flowers, you can have a favorite person, as a friend, I am happy for you, and I should also contribute to you." Besides, I don't want the imperial sister to marry the eldest grandson Chong. People like her shouldn't follow the flies and dogs. ”

"Anyway, excuse me. Chai Lingwu said sincerely, "Also, thank you." ”

"Don't thank me. This time, you can also see, someone has also begun to calculate with you. In the future, be cautious in everything. Li Ke warned again.

Jiang Chengzi had already stood on tiptoe to approve the poncho for him, Li Ke naturally tied the poncho himself, looked at the pouring rain, and said: "Since you have made up your mind to marry Changle, you also have to do something." The rain was rapid, the flood was coming quickly, and the embankment was not necessarily strong. You have to take the lead in disaster relief, and after the people start, you can take the lead in playing and donating. This kind of thing has been done in the third room of Hongnong Yang's family, but countless famous families have to donate. You did this, and the other ministers were embarrassed not to do it. Your Majesty must be glad to see it. ”

"I know. Chai Lingwu nodded solemnly.

Li Ke didn't say much, took Jiang Chengzi's hand, and went out cautiously. The carriage of the Shu Wangfu has been parked outside the door. The two got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

The curtain of the carriage was lowered, Jiang Chengzi leaned on Li Ke's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Who do you think did this?"

"I don't know. Li Ke was concise and to the point, and then added, "It doesn't matter who it is." The Chai family has been neutral for too long, and it is time to have a choice. At least choosing to marry Changle is to stand by Cheng Qian's side. Standing by the side of the future king is not a bad thing. ”

"That's right. Jiang Chengzi nodded, but became worried again, and said, "But Brother Yi's matter is really tricky." Do you think Your Majesty will marry Changle to your brother-in-law?"

"If Changle wants to, then it must be possible. Li Ke replied.

"Then you have to kill Changsun Chong first. Jiang Chengzi was worried again.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be that he died, as long as there is enough reason to get out of the marriage. Li Ke touched his chin.

"The reason for the divorce!" Jiang Chengzi racked her brains, she was still slightly inferior in this kind of thing, and after thinking about it, she only thought of Princess Jianning's divorce from Wu Yingxiong in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and suddenly shuddered, and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that he can't be humane?"

When Li Ke heard this, his body shook, knocked on her head with his fingers, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I can't die, and I have enough reasons to get out of the marriage—" Jiang Chengzi said curtly, "I really can't think of a better reason than this." ”

"Ahem, don't discuss it. Li Ke pouted.

"Oh, okay. Jiang Chengzi sat up, adjusted her breathing, and thought that she was about to see Yang Shufei, she was still a little nervous in her heart.
