Chapter Eighty-Five: Where to Go

The sky was just getting dark, and the forbidden army of the imperial city started martial law early under the arrangement of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the patrolmen with bright armor patrolled back and forth on the wide Chang'an Avenue with a serious face to prevent emergencies that might occur at any time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the back door of the kitchen road, a small carriage with a green cloth curtain quietly drove an old man, with a white beard and hair, but he looked in good spirits.

I saw the carriage coming out of the back alley, turning the corner without hurrying or slow, and driving slowly onto the wide Chang'an Main Street.

"Grandpa! Have you been patrolling the streets these days? The merchant, half-leaning on the knee of the green sleeve, reached out and lifted the corner of the curtain and opened it outward.

"Hmmm! Presumably, the old boy in the palace is very sick this time! I went to Li Jing's mansion yesterday to look for him to drink, but I didn't find anyone. The bearded man sitting on the wheel of the carriage raised his whip and shook it, but turned his head to the car and talked to the merchant.

Shang Shang wanted to go to the Prince Pavilion to see Li Mo, but Su Minzhi's opposition was invalid and he had to rely on her, but because of Shang Shang's current status as a prisoner in the prison, he also proposed to be escorted by the bearded guest, otherwise she would never be allowed to go out.

Originally, he thought that the bearded guest was an elder, and he didn't want to work his businessman, but he saw his brother's resolute appearance, so he had to agree, and then there was this small carriage and the bearded guest driving the car.

"Grandpa Li also entered the palace?" The merchant and the green sleeves glanced at each other and said softly in surprise.

"Yes! That old boy has been in for a few days, and he hasn't come out, so only Ziqian's kid stays at home alone, so I can't even find a drinking partner! ”

The thought of finding someone to drink with him couldn't find him, and the bearded guest snorted in dissatisfaction.

The merchant listened to the bearded guest's reply, but hung his head silently. Even Li Jing has entered the palace! It seems that Li Shimin's illness this time is really dangerous!

Exhausted, she remembered in a trance that Li Shimin did die shortly after Fang Xuanling went, but she didn't remember this specific time.

Is this the time? The businessmen were worried in their hearts, so - that is, it was during this time that Li Zhi really got involved with Wu Meiniang?

Thinking of Wu Meiniang's silky eyes and thunderous means after ascending the throne, Shang Shang's heart was filled with a hint of coolness, although the Wu Meiniang she saw now was just an infatuated woman with deep roots and couldn't extricate herself, but she didn't think that Wu Meiniang would continue like this forever. The world is unpredictable!

This is also one of the reasons why she is eager to come to see Li Mo. She can't enter the palace now, but Li Mo should be able to give him some warnings, and it won't make things worse.

The carriage passed by a group of patrolling soldiers and stopped at the side entrance of the Prince's Garden.

The bearded guest stepped forward and knocked on the door, the side door opened, and the people inside poked their heads out and asked softly, after learning that it was the merchant girl from the kitchen who came to visit Lord Li, the side door was opened wide with a smile on his face, and the bearded guest drove straight into the house.

The green sleeves slowly rubbed off the carriage with the merchant in his arms, and followed the little girl who led the way step by step to the place where Li Mo would be raised in the inner courtyard. With every step, the merchant could feel the pain in his back and buttocks, although it was not intense, but it was endless, and the pain made people's hearts weak, but after a while, he saw sweat on his forehead.

"Stop and rest! Anyway, I've been waiting for these days, so it's not bad for a while! Green Sleeves couldn't stand the persuasion.

The injuries on Shang Shang's body are not serious, but for the sake of realism, he didn't take good care of them day and night in the prison, and there was still some cold into the body, and the wound healed slowly, and now there are still some places oozing water, if it weren't for the medicine of the Tai Yi, I'm afraid that it would have already festered into ulcers by now!

The merchant turned his face to look at the little girl who was leading the way, and the little girl replied obediently: "It's not far away, after this month, the cave gate will be in Lord Li's courtyard." ”

Green Sleeves frowned, the sweat between the merchants' foreheads was too obvious, didn't it arouse suspicion in today's late autumn weather?

Shang Shang stood in place and breathed a sigh of relief, relieving the wound on her back, and the cool breeze of the night came through the hall, drying the sweat on her forehead, leaving only a few small beads of sweat still hanging on her cheeks.

"Let's go! It's not far off anyway. Shang Shang smiled at Green Sleeves, knowing that she felt sorry for herself. Quietly reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, signaling that she didn't have to worry.

When Li Yan walked out of the inner courtyard to greet the merchants, the merchants had already rubbed in front of the door of the inner courtyard, looking at this slender and weak girl who had just been punished with a cane, and she was about to come to see Li Mo with her sick body, Li Yan was really moved in his heart, although it was inconvenient to step forward to help him because of the great defense of men and women, but he still subconsciously took two steps forward.

"Why is the girl here today? He didn't say a word, and the Lord might send someone to pick up the girl. ”

"I got the letter from your prince, after all, I don't feel at ease, I came over before it was dark, you don't blame me for being presumptuous." Shang Shang raised his face and smiled at Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at Shang Shang, he wanted to say something, he didn't know how to tell Shang Shang, Li Mo didn't know about her being tortured with a cane, but he didn't know that Shang Shang didn't plan to tell Li Mo at all.

Green Sleeves helped the merchant to step into the corridor, and was about to help the merchant inward, but the merchant pulled her hand and stopped under the corridor.

"Wait!" The merchant grabbed the green sleeve and said softly.

Green Sleeves turned his head and looked at the merchant strangely, why did this person who was in a hurry just now stop at the door?

The merchant took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped it on his forehead, then raised his head to look at Green Sleeve and asked, "Do I still have sweat on my head?" ”

Green Sleeves shook her head slightly, she would have figured out Shang Shang's intentions. This stupid girl must not have wanted Li Mo to see her injuries, so she stopped outside the door for a while to make adjustments.

Li Yan looked at the actions of the businessman, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. Shang Shang's careful actions also made him breathe a sigh of relief, he just didn't know how to tell Shang Shang! The merchant relieved him first.

"Li Yan! Who's outside the door? Li Mo in the room vaguely heard someone talking outside the door, and asked in a loud voice.

Hearing Li Mo's question, Shang Shang smiled at Green Sleeves, let go of the hand that had been holding her, motioned for her to wait for him in place, took a deep breath, relaxed his back, tried his best to ignore the pain of the injury, and let himself take a natural step

"It's me!" With this crisp answer, the merchant stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

"Merchant!" Li Mo heard this familiar voice and turned his head in surprise to look at the door opening.

"Why are you here? It's not in the palace-" Li Mo, who was originally full of joy, thought of Li Shimin, who was now sick in bed, and his expression couldn't help but darken.

"Are you upset to see me?"

Shang Shang walked slowly to the bed, looking at Li Mo's pale face, and his heart twitched. Although he saw the change in Li Mo's expression in his eyes, he pretended to make jokes without knowing it.

The wound on her back made her move a little sluggish, but in order not to arouse Li Mo's suspicions, she still tried her best to keep herself walking at her usual pace, although this would make the pain more obvious, but thinking about the pain she had suffered when she was tortured, it was nothing.

"It's not - it's just that now that the emperor is sick, I just heard Li Yan say that even the streets are under martial law, and there is no key to this point in the palace?" Li Mo's demeanor looked a little cowardly, and he didn't know if it was because of the injury or because of Li Shimin's illness.

"I'm not in the palace, I haven't returned to the palace if you don't hear from you, just stay in the kitchen! Now that the palace is also strictly controlled, it is not easy to go back. Shang Shang sat on the edge of the bed, answering Li Mo's words while looking at his complexion carefully.

"Hmmm! Luckily, it's much better than I thought it would be! Shang Shang nodded slightly with satisfaction, "I thought that you would lie in bed for a month with a white face!" Now it seems to be fine! ”

As he spoke, the merchant stretched out his hand again, uncovered the shirt on his back, and examined his horrific wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist.

It seems that Li Mo has suffered a lot these days! Shang Shang's eyes gradually moistened, if her kung fu was better, would she have been able to save him earlier? Then he won't have to suffer so much!

Shang Shang was secretly blaming himself, originally didn't say a word, let her look at the injury Li Mo quietly stretched out a hand, pulled Shang Shang back, gently held her hand in his hand, with some comfort on his face, but a little inexplicable hesitation, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Merchant!"

Looking at Li Mo's entangled look, the businessman actually understood most of it. Li Shimin's serious illness this time seems to have had a great impact on him, although for so many years, he has been unwilling to forgive his father, but by blood nature, how could he really be indifferent when Li Shimin was sick and couldn't afford to be sick?

Raising his eyes to look into Li Mo's eyes, the merchant's lips moved lightly, and he made a simple single tone: "Huh? ”

"The emperor's illness - you also know, the treatment is very serious, will he - " Li Mo expressed his meaning with some difficulty, now his heart was full of Li Shimin's illness, and he didn't care so much about his injury.

He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the merchants, and he didn't know what the merchants were saying, and even he himself didn't understand what was wrong with him, why did he feel such a strong fear in his heart when he heard that Li Shimin was only afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive this time! This kind of emotion is so strange to him! It was so strange that he didn't know how to deal with it, and he had never felt like this in his life!

"Silence! Remember what I told you before? ”

The merchant endured the pain, moved to Li Mo, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked Li Mo's frowning brow. She couldn't lie to Li Mo that Li Shimin was fine, because she knew that this was probably Li Shimin's limit.

But she couldn't help but care about Li Mo, if Li Mo still couldn't untie the knot in Li Shimin's serious illness, then it would be too late to regret it later! She didn't want Li Mo to fall into regret and guilt in the future.

"The body is skinny, the parents who receive it, you have his blood and bones in your body, even if you don't want to, your current life is also given by him, without him there will be no you, without you, how can you hate him?"

The merchant looked at Li Mo with compassion in his eyes. Mo still can't let go, as the so-called "love is deep!" Responsible! If he hadn't had great hopes for Li Shimin and longed for his love, how could he have turned against him now?

Li Mo closed his eyes slightly, feeling the delicate fingertips of the merchant lingering softly in the center of his eyebrows, and the gentle movements seemed to care for a newborn baby.

Slowly straightening up, Li Mo stretched out his arm, wrapped his arms around the merchant's waist, and buried his head deep in her shoulder socket, like a drowning man hugging a piece of driftwood, now he needs a stable embrace, so that he can think about something quietly.

About the emperor, about the father, about his unwillingness and resentment!

Shang Shang's body stiffened uncontrollably in a moment on Li Mo's bracelet, although Li Mo's movements were very gentle, but when the weight of his upper body was added to her, it still made the injury on her back suddenly burst into a burst of pain, making her can't help but tremble slightly.

Li Mo unconsciously surrounded her, and Shang Shang's instant stiffness was misunderstood by him as her shyness, but he didn't know that this person in his arms was now covered in bruises, and he was not much stronger than him.

"Really—am I wrong?" Li Mo buried himself on the shoulder of the merchant and said sullenly.

"You're not wrong! You just haven't figured it out yet! Shang Shang took a breath and raised his hand to hug Li Mo's shoulder.

The body under her palm is thick and warm, revealing reassuring safety. Li Mo, who was obviously an adult, only made her feel like a fragile child at this time.

Longing for the warmth of his parents, he is now stubbornly rejecting what he longs for the most, just because he has suffered too many rejections, so many that he can't bear it! In order to stop being hurt by himself, he chose to refuse first!

"Merchant! You say—Shall I go and see him?" Li Mo raised his head and looked at the merchant.

At this time, he couldn't trust anyone else, and no one could understand him as well as Shang Shang, she must have understood what he meant!

"Go check it out! Silent! He's an old man on the verge of death! If you don't go now, maybe one day, you'll only be able to look at his statue and remember him! ”

Shang Shang looked at Li Mo seriously, nodded affirmatively at him, and was not surprised to see that Li Mo was shocked when he heard this, and the expression on his face turned pale in an instant.
