Since the Empress Dowager asked him to enter Beijing by name, of course he didn't want to miss the opportunity, not to mention that he himself was so haggard this year because of her, and being able to meet her was more effective for him than taking any medicine.

So, when Li Ling's departure was approaching, Li Huai said coldly: "Daddy, please allow the child to enter Beijing with you." ”

Li Ling's face turned pale, and he said, "Where can you go far with your bones?"

"It's not a big deal for me, I can get through it. ”

Li Ling was silent for a moment, and sighed: "That place will only make you sad, so you should not go for the time being." ”

"The child went just to get to a good end to one thing. Li Huai said silently.

Li Ling hurriedly said: "Don't do stupid things. ”

"No, I just have a few words I want to say to her personally, and after I tell her, I can willingly cut her off. ”

Li Ling gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone has already put it down, why do you need to say anything more?"

These words are good for her and for me. ”

"Then I'll tell you that, you don't have to go along. ”

"There are some things that children can't say to you. ”

Li Ling sneered: "I think you are too deeply poisoned and incurable, but let me tell you, you will kill yourself sooner or later if you do this." I don't agree with you going. ”

Li Huai smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother has invited me to go, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, the child can go by himself." ”

It's not like he hasn't been to the capital alone.

So he knew the contents of the Queen Mother's letter.

Li Ling didn't say anything, and walked out with a calm face.

Two days later, Li Ling said to him: "Okay, you go with me, but you listen to me - you must not have any scandal with her, otherwise I will kill you with one sword." ”

Li Huai nodded.

On the way to the capital, Li Ling asked Li Huai, "What else do you have to tell her?"

He felt that the attitude she gave said it all, and Li Huai really didn't need to enter Beijing again. What he is worried about now is that Li Huai has no feelings for her, and this return to Beijing is just to have a tryst with her again.

Regarding Li Huai's attitude towards this matter, he really disagreed with it and was very worried.

When they arrived in the capital, it was already night, and the father and son immediately went to see the emperor Li Pei.

Since the next day was the full moon of Li Huan, the people in the palace seemed to be very busy this day.

"The Queen Mother has slept, so see her again tomorrow. Li Pei said when receiving them.

It was rare to see them once, and Li Pei was obviously happy.

They nodded.

This night, Li Huai lay on the soft bed, thinking about everything between himself and the Queen Mother, and suddenly felt helpless and funny.

She obviously didn't care what he was thinking at the moment, he felt as if he had come to accept a taunt.

But he still came, and he didn't care much what she thought at this time, he had already thought about acting like a real man tomorrow, and deliberately didn't look at her wherever she appeared.

Maybe he could only hurt her in this way. Maybe it won't hurt her at all. He suddenly realized in agony that he might not be able to hurt her anymore,

He smiled wryly and fell asleep in an inexplicable mood of loss and self-deprecation.

The next day, at Li Huan's full moon banquet, the palace was full of people.

Li Ling was busy greeting the vassal kings, while Li Huai unconsciously looked for the empress dowager everywhere.

She wasn't there.

Then, the figures and voices in front of him seemed to him to be imaginary, and he lowered his eyes tiredly, wondering if he could still hope for her.

It should be admitted that once the fire of love has burned, even if you try your best to extinguish it one day, when you meet that person again, the fire will burn again, which is no way to do it.

Finally, the Queen Mother appeared, and it was just as the full moon banquet was about to be held.

Li Huai, who had warned himself not to look at her, still looked at her involuntarily.

She came slowly surrounded by a group of people, as dignified and beautiful as ever, with a gentle smile on her face, and polite to everyone present.

He didn't step forward, he knew that this was not the time for the two to meet, and quietly flashed to the side.

During the banquet, he and Li Ling needed to come to the table of the Queen Mother and Li Pei to toast, so he had to be cheeky.

What he didn't expect was that the Queen Mother looked at him with a very calm and restrained gaze, just like other elders treated their juniors, and even a little alienated.

All his worries disappeared in an instant, and there was an indescribable sense of loss.

As he toasted, Li Ling's eyes keenly observed him and the Empress Dowager, as if he wanted to gain some information from them, but he was disappointed that nothing unusual happened between them.

Li Ling let out a long sigh of relief.

In the evening, Li Huai went to Ciqing Palace alone to meet the Empress Dowager.

When he was about to arrive at the Ciqing Palace, he had an indescribable disgust for himself, he was disgusted with not being able to let go of her like this, and he was disgusted with the insatiable desire/desire for her in his heart.

He lingered at the gate of Ciqing Palace for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.

As he waited for the door to open, he was so distraught and trembling that he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or struggling.

The door opened, and the palace maid who opened the door recognized him at a glance and hurriedly went in to report it.

He stood in the doorway and waited, only to feel a wave of heat rushing towards him all around him, and he almost lost his breath.

Since his health deteriorated, all of his reflexes had become sharper than before, so sharp that he felt like an anomaly.

The palace maid came out and said very politely: "The queen mother said that she is tired and wants to rest, so let you come at one o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Li Huai didn't say anything, silently turned around and left, a little happy when he left, and a little injured, he smiled bitterly as he walked, and even he couldn't tell what he was smiling at bitterly.

The next day, he came as promised.

This time, his mind was as calm as water, and his steps were brisk.

When he arrived at the door, the palace maid came to open the door, as if she had calculated the time, and when she saw him, she whispered: "After you enter the door, go straight to the courtyard on the left, her first room in the West Garden." ”

It was her piano room, and he knew that she often played there, and when she was tired of playing, he lay down on the Luohan bed by the window. At the back of that room is a small garden in a quiet setting.

He was pleased that she had chosen this place as a meeting place for the two.

The door was ajar, but he knocked on it anyway.

"Come in. ”

It was her voice, a seductive and somewhat languid voice, a tone that was only used when she was with the two of them. He only felt a bang in his head, and the original one immediately returned to his body. He strode in.
