Chapter Eighty-Four: Expressing the Truth in the Situation

Wan'er's bare hand was still in mid-air, and she didn't have time to put it down completely, but she was suddenly held by Li Dan.

She was startled, and at the same time felt a trace of warmth from his warm palm sink into her slightly cool wrist; When the skin touched the skin, there was a slight palpitation, and this untimely throbbing sensation came up together, as well as an inexplicable peace.

Yes, Enron. Somehow, being held by him like this, but it was like falling into a prison woven by some kind of magic test, which made Wan'er feel an indescribable peace and warmth. She seems to be ...... It seems to be a bit greedy for this feeling!

The thought arose, and he landed on the ground and stopped it. The prosperity is just a flashy skin, the downstream of the appearance. There are too many light and dark haze and cold ice and fire, and you can come and go freely in it. The only way to walk freely is to guard your heart, if your heart is gray, if your heart is dead, it is best. This is a kind of Gou An's instinct, and she can't discard it, because she hasn't really thought about whether she wants to die or not.

The shadow of the candle was swayed by the night wind, and the candle stamens that burned and were not yet pruned were jumped up high by the candle flowers and knotted halfway, making a dry sound of "crackling". This sound adds a lot of vitality to the silent silent night.

Wan'er suppressed those thoughts that shouldn't be there, looked at Li Dan lightly with her head turned her head slightly, and her petal-like lips didn't spit out a word.

knew that it would be like this, she herself would not die or live, but she would make him die or live! Dan looked at Wan'er, obviously Wan'er's expression at this time was what he had always seen, and his heart suddenly felt extremely lost and wordless laughter.

The hand he held her soft hand trembled slightly, he hesitated, hesitated whether to continue to compromise with her restraint and indifference, or to hold on to the courage bred by fanatical infatuation to really persist and burn once, just this once?

But the will in his heart is already wavering, on the one hand, he tends to suppress his long-accumulated affection, and is unwilling to continue to suppress this fiery love; On the one hand, he cherishes Wan'er's attitude, and doesn't want her unilateral paranoia to cause even a little pressure on her. After swaying from side to side for a short time, Li Dan finally lost by himself, partly because of Wan'er's stubbornness, and partly because of his respect for Wan'er's will in his heart.

His trembling arm staggered to the ground, and the palm of his hand rubbed downward from Wan'er's wrist, and finally let go as it slid to her wisped cuffs.

"Since the current situation is like this, it is better to ask for his life to give way if he is forced to give way by the Empress Wu!" But at this moment, suddenly, Wan'er uncharacteristically raised her other hand and grabbed Li Dan's hand that was about to leave her jade wrist, raised her eyebrows and raised her face suddenly.

Li Dan trembled again, and was suddenly surprised by Wan'er's never-before-seen move! And soon there was a deep joy in his heart, which was what he had always wanted, her cold palm held his warm palm, and she held her hand to further perceive the other party more really. And because this surprise came so suddenly, Li Danqian suspected for a moment that he was dreaming!

Wan'er didn't know what kind of mood she was in, but she actually reacted like this. But she seemed to be more frank, with a sense of cathartic helplessness in her heart, and simply said openly and honestly to Li Dan: "Take the initiative to give way, not only to protect yourself, but also to buy a good one from the Empress Dowager Wu." Then leave everything to time to organize. Her eyebrows were certain, and then a clear light appeared in her eyes, and her voice became softer when she opened her mouth again, "That's what I mean, does Your Majesty understand?" As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, thus answering his deliberate question.

Li Dan's heart was already in turmoil, and all his attention was suddenly drawn away by Wan'er's sudden pandering, until her indifferent and sincere eyes looked at him shiningly, and Fang came back to his senses again.

He pondered her words silently in his heart, and with his insight into the situation, there seemed to be no better idea. Li Dan himself also faintly had such a meaning, and first reached a tacit understanding with Wan'er again in his heart.

Sensing the change in the expression between Li Dan's eyebrows, Wan'er knew that he began to seriously think about his own idea. She made up her mind, let go of the hand she was holding with Li Dan, paced sideways, and her thoughts began to spin: "But at the same time, Your Majesty needs to propose to Empress Wu together with the abdication of the throne, that is, Empress Wu will demote you to the crown prince." It's another sentence that sounds like this, and only by carefully analyzing the interest can you know its big mystery!

Dan raised his eyes to look at her, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

Wan'er's thinking is not unreasonable, how can Li Dan be the son of Empress Wu, even if Empress Wu crosses the Queen Mother and directly becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then when Empress Wu dies in the future, will the throne continue to be passed back to Li Dan's hands? The top priority is not to rush to fight for power with the Empress Wu overnight, but to save his life, stabilize the foundation, and make a long-term and steady plan!

If you look at the fire and accumulate thick and thin, it has always been a good policy in this prosperous and hazy Tang Palace. Isn't it also the method that Li Dan has been using to settle down and behave in life?

It's just that...... Facing the woman in front of him who was between him and the Empress Wu, who was dedicated to both places, and who was often in contradiction for this reason, and who was sincere to him and Empress Wu, Li Dan suddenly felt a deep sense of loss in his heart.

After going around in such a big circle, in the final analysis, it is back to a "power-seeking"! Even if this is something that he understands and knows early on, he will still be disappointed.

Could it be that apart from the long-standing topic of "seeking power and seizing power", there is nothing simple and beautiful between them that is simple and untainted with the atmosphere of conspiracy? Is it that the invisible thin line in the void space that has always bound them and made them have a tacit understanding and understanding with each other is also due to the entanglement of the current situation?

Such an idea cannot bear to be scrutinized, and the deeper you think about it, the more powerless it becomes.

"I have no intention of being the prince of Rausch." Dan staggered his gaze from Wan'er, turned around, and put his hands behind him, "I will only neglect my mother and demote me to the emperor's heir." His gaze passed through the mist rising from the incense and fell to a landscape screen not far away, and added lightly.

"......" Wan'er subconsciously took a few steps to meet her and opened her mouth at the same time. But the delicate lips only relaxed slightly, and didn't say half a word. She was in a trance by Li Dan for a while, and she didn't know what kind of words to say to be appropriate and heartfelt.

The conspiracies that circulated between the illustrious clansmen, the painstaking battles between the seen and the invisible, a school of fish swarmed and were then wiped out! Such haze things have long become commonplace in Shangguan Wan'er's cold eyes. Therefore, over time, she has been paralyzed by that sentiment, and she can't make a longing for the so-called simplicity and perfection.

But Li Dan is different, this emperor who has been imprisoned since he was established as the emperor by Empress Wu, this person who bears the name of the supreme authority of the Tang Dynasty and withstands too much pressure from all directions that should not be topped, although he is away from the court, and his heart has never been far from the court, he can be round on the outside and square on the inside, or he can inadvertently show the domineering and decisive that has not really dissipated. These insides are hidden under such an obedient and quiet appearance, and they have successfully deceived everyone's eyes, even the Empress Wu...... But he has never really been able to deceive Shangguan Wan'er, who has too many intersections.

Li Dan he is well versed in the way of forbearance, Taoguang and Tai Chi's method of overcoming rigidity with softness, if you take a long-term view, and then take a long-term view, foresee the inevitable head-to-head confrontation between the two Li and Wu families due to power in the future, Li Dan is the one who has never really shown his edge behind the scenes, the most dangerous and the most qualified to win!

But is there really such an extreme person in the world? For many years, Li Dan was born in the spirit of indisputability and escapism, while practicing the way of forbearance and trying his best to gather his strength, being cautious and obedient to his inner wisdom, the true hermit demeanor he has attained, and the belief in goodness and beauty that he has never lost for all people and things in the world is also true.

In the five turbid and evil worlds, he only incarnated as a green lotus, out of the mud and was not polluted......

In front of Li Dan, Wan'er only felt that all the conspiracy methods were dirty, and every more point of that scheming calculation would make her more than his speechless relative and self-esteem! Even if these scheming methods are all for him.

There is more and more a feeling that in front of Li Dan, Wan'er is ashamed!

The twilight wind messed up the tassels hanging down her hair, and at the same time, she was in a trance with her indifferent and rich eyes. Wan'er stood stiffly on the spot like this, and immediately subconsciously tilted her head sideways, and then turned her body sideways.

Li Dan in front of him closed his eyes slightly, in the pattern that Wan'er couldn't see, he pursed his lips, his throat moved slightly, and his dusty and wise face was full of pain of self-suppression at the moment.

She didn't know what she meant to him, for he had never spoken to her, never had a proper opportunity to talk to her, and she never wanted to give him such an opportunity. Then she will not know that the fundamental reason why he has always been indifferent to everything in this world for so many years, knows its evil and does not deny its beauty, and has never complained about the bad fate, is precisely because of her!

Because he has always had her company in his world, because of her every light and dark help, she never abandoned, because of her understanding and that tacit understanding that seems to be self-contained...... She is like a light, so bright and so beautiful floating world and the light of the next world, in a casual fate staggered, suddenly caught off guard in his lonely and dry heart!

Since then, everything has been different, there has always been a different kind of world in his heart, that is the world she created for him, and it is also the world he carefully sketched and depicted, which is different from any external world......
