Chapter 178: Rift
"Huaqing Palace's nurse family can be described as happy, and she is also kind and righteous, for this reason, Weichen thinks that there are two possibilities for Huaqing Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Guo Xuan judged, "The first type, the nurse is not lying, but in her opinion, the one who almost made the second prince fall to the ground is the queen mother, you ......" After saying this, he deliberately stopped and peeked at Shen Yan's reaction.
Shen Yan was calm as usual, and did not escape his tentative gaze, still looked directly at him, and listened carefully to what he had to say. Without waiting for him to say the second possibility, Li Chengqi entered the hall.
Li Chengqi put his hands behind his back, unhappy for Guo Xuan's words, and when he entered the hall, he shouted: "It's just nonsense." β
Shen Yan and Guo Xuan both saluted Li Chengqi. Seeing that he was so angry that Guo Xuan said that the murderer might be the Queen of the West, when he sat down on a high place, Shen Yan persuaded him: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait for Lord Guo to tell him the second possibility." β
Li Chengqi restrained his anger, but Guo Xuan said: "Weichen still has no evidence to prove that this matter is an accident, or someone is plotting, let alone change." β
His guess could be told to Shen Yan, but he didn't dare to say it to Li Chengqi. Shen Yan quickly understood his thoughts, and seeing Li Chengqi frowning, she hurriedly said: "If it's a guess, then don't say it, so as not to mislead people." Hongu will give you three more days. Three days later, you will come back to the palace to file a complaint. β
Li Chengqi was slightly puzzled, but after thinking about it, he had no objection, and as soon as he raised his hand, he allowed Guo Xuan to retreat.
"I think this matter is an accident, and there is no need to investigate it again." After Guo Xuan left, Li Chengqi said to Shen Yan gently.
Shen Yan lowered her chin slightly, didn't look at him, and said with a light smile: "Don't let this matter be investigated." You will also let people find out the doubts in your heart, why not just look them up together? "That's it. She just looked up at him. In this matter, she understands what he will do. Since he was suspicious of whether the second prince was his own child. We'll find out.
"Well, how about you check yours and I'll check mine?" After thinking about it, Shen Yan put forward such an opinion.
Li Chengqi was noncommittal, and he did not object. He changed the subject and asked, "You just went to Lingying Pavilion to visit Ling'er?" But how to leave so quickly? β
"The moment I saw her, I felt like I should leave." Shen Yan said quietly, as if there was something in her words.
Li Chengqi looked at her. There was a bit of shame in his eyes, and there was also a little bit of fear, "Yan'er, why did you say this?" β
"You have her in your heart, what am I going to do with it?" Shen Yan was calm and uncomplaining.
"Yan'er, you know my ......" Li Chengqi took a step closer to Shen Yan and wanted to hold her hand, but her hand escaped so quickly, and his words were shocked and not said all.
"Give me some time to get used to this." Shen Yan looked at him. It is a sincere request. She didn't want to hear his arguments.
She had a reason for doing so, but at the same time, she did need some time. to adapt to the situation that Li Chengqi's heart cannot belong to him, but also to regard him as his own world, and to meet him and please him. She thought. At least for a short time, it is difficult for her not to dislike him and resist him from the bottom of her heart.
Originally. As an emperor, it is not uncommon for the harem to have a group of beauties. Even if he is in the middle of nowhere, there is nothing to blame. But he has repeatedly made such promises, and he has repeatedly failed to keep his promises. What's even more infuriating is that he has to emphasize many times that his promise is true, but there are some small episodes that he can't avoid. Such a person, Shen Yan can do it, don't put her disgust on her face, she is already broad-minded.
"Yan'er......" Li Chengqi still wanted to pull Shen Yan's hand, but Shen Yan still avoided it, he simply shouted "Yan'er" and grabbed her. He looked straight into her eyes and asked, "You can't accept Ling'er, can you?" What you said about it is to fulfill me and Ling'er? β
"What if it is?" Shen Yan's expression was no longer calm. She looked up at him, a hint of anger. But when she asked him, his words were so light that he could only hear them when he was close.
To her surprise, Li Chengqi actually hugged her into his arms after hearing this. "Do you know...... he hugged her tightly, and she was a little painful, "During that time, it was either a legend that you died, or a legend that you ran away with the man next to you?" Do you know how I got over during that time? If it weren't for Ling'er giving me some joy......" He realized that there was something wrong with saying this, and after a pause, he changed his way and said, "Because you are not there, I will allow her to enter the palace." If you had been by my side, would I have agreed to let her into the palace? So ......"
He let go of the hands that held her tightly, looked at her head-on, and was about to say something emotional. However, looking at his sincere eyes, Shen Yan said a cruel word one step ahead of him.
"So at that moment, I left the Lingying Pavilion, and you can still get along with your Ling'er, right? One day, as long as I break your heart and be abandoned by you, you have your spirit, and you don't need to think of me anymore. At first, you thought I was dead, you thought I would never come back, and if you hadn't learned by chance later, you would have lived happily with your spirit. β
"It's not!" Li Chengqi frowned and categorically denied her words, "Since you have returned to me, you are the only one in my heart." As for Ling'er...... I will treat her like Min Min and Huaiyu. Yan'er," he changed his serious attitude, suddenly took her hands again, and said gently, "You have to believe me, I haven't changed my mind." β
Shen Yan sarcastically: There will always be too many inevitable things happening to you, how can I trust your heart? However, she did not show such sarcasm, only said: "Then I need time." β
"Okay, I'll give you time." Li Chengqi agreed. He thought that he would also give himself some time to deal with the entanglement with Ling'er. However, he solemnly emphasized: "Yan'er, you can't be cranky. β
It's not so much that she doesn't want to think wildly, it's better to let her not dislike her own thoughts.
Shen Yan never knew that many times she was too quiet, and even a little cold, which made Li Chengqi feel scared. Such a look made him afraid that she would not love him and leave him because of her selfishness, and even one day she would fall in love with the man next to her and follow that man. She's done something like this! His worries were not superfluousβbefore that, she just wanted to follow An Yangping.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqi once again had an angry feeling in his heart, a feeling that he had never said or expressed, but in his heart, he was silently devoured.
The two people with different thoughts sat on the soft couch, held hands, and were silent for a long time. At a certain moment, they all realized, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Chengqi got up and said, "I'll go back to Shangyang Palace, and there are still a few books to review." Will you go with me? β
Shen Yan shook her head, "I won't go over there to get in the way." β
The corners of Li Chengqi's lips moved slightly, and he didn't say much. It's just that in an instant, he seems to see that there is a gap between her and himself, which is difficult to cross. "Then I'll come back to see you in the evening." Then he was leaving.
"At night, I want to be alone." Shen Yan said, "Before I think clearly, I want to be alone." β
Li Chengqi was stunned. He thinks of her like that in his heart, and he can't get tired of being with her all the time, but how can she let him suffer like this. She was really angry with herself because of Ling'er!
"I hope the emperor will approve it." Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Yan committed herself and made a request to him, the emperor, as the Empress of the West.
Li Chengqi opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, only reluctantly tapped his chin slightly. Leaving the main hall of the West Palace, he only felt that his feet weighed thousands of pounds and were difficult to move.
"Inheriting ......"
Hearing Shen Yan shouting at him, he was overjoyed, thinking that she had changed her mind, but when he turned around, he heard her ask, "Have you set King Xian free?" I want to meet him. β
Li Chengqi was disappointed and a little annoyed, "What do you want to see him do?" His voice was a little indifferent.
"He blocked an arrow for me, and I should have seen him to see if he was better." Seeing Li Chengqi's expression, Shen Yan thought for a while and then said, "Chengqi, don't you want me to see King Xian?" Why? β
"Because he's helping you lie." Li Chengqi's reason is not reasonable. In fact, he knew Li Chengmao's love for Shen Yan for a long time, and found that he loved her leniently and selflessly, so he couldn't get over it in his heart. He didn't want him to come to see the woman he loved, and he didn't want his beloved woman to see him.
"Am I not the Empress of the West Palace? Why don't you even have the right to see someone? Shen Yan took a few steps towards him, and her words were calm.
"You can see anyone, but without him." Lee Seung-ki is cold and tough.
"Why can't you see it?" Shen Yan asked.
Li Chengqi looked at her and simply told her plainly: "As early as when he was in the Hou Mansion, he had illusions about you!" Even if you become my woman, he still does not restrain his love for you. β
"You finally dare to tell me about it." Shen Yan raised her lips and chuckled.
"You know?" It turned out that Shen Yan also knew that Li Chengmao admired her, or Li Chengmao had already expressed his heart to her! Such a fact made Li Chengqi surprised and extremely ashamed. "You know he's interested in you, and you still want to see him? What makes sense? He was angry, his voice was a little low, and his expression was a little cold when he spoke.
"I have a clear conscience." Shen Yan didn't make any more superfluous explanations, did not escape his cold gaze, and asked him again: "Do you want me to see King Xian?" β
Li Chengqi's heart was very blocked, he stared at her closely, looked at her a lot, and issued three cold words from his throat: "Don't see it." β
It's a war. Shen Yan had long felt that sooner or later such a war would occur between herself and Li Chengqi. Between them, there are too many contradictions that they know each other, but they have always been hidden in their hearts, lest if they say it, there will be cracks in their relationship that are difficult to sew.
And this rift was inadvertently generated. If such rifts increase, they may find it difficult to maintain even a semblance of peace. (To be continued.) )
