Chapter 167: Fear

Looking at the back of Zhao Gongzi gradually moving away, Li Qingzhao was tormented in his heart. Standing there sobbing, Li Qingzhao's eyes were stunned and he lost his look.

Li Qingzhao stared at the hollow place in front of her, and Zhao Gongzi's back became more and more blurred, until she disappeared around the corner, but she was still staring ahead. The corners of his eyes were moist, his nose was sucking hard, and his face was full of gloom and obscurity.

Haoyue saw that Zhao Gongzi had already gone away, and thought to herself: "Zhao Gongzi blames himself too much. If this kind of thing happens, you can only blame the person surnamed Cai, where can there be Zhao Gongzi's sin? He took the blame and blamed himself bitterly, but he couldn't solve anything. ”

Looking back at Miss, seeing the stupid expression on her face, Haoyue thought to herself: "Miss is also very persistent. What's the use of such pain? ”

Stretching out her hands, Haoyue put her hand on Miss's shoulder, and said softly to her: "Miss, don't be too sad, Zhao Gongzi is sad and needs your comfort." If you are sad, who will comfort you? ”

Li Qingzhao didn't turn his head to look at her, but listened to her words, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Yes, I'm sad, who will comfort me?" ”

Haoyue said: "Miss, let's go back to the house first, it's not a way to wait here now." ”

Li Qingzhao didn't move, just lowered his head, glanced at the ground randomly, and then turned his head again, looked at the dark sky of the night, sobbed, and said, "Yes, let's go back to the house first." ”

The two walked back quickly along the same road, and when they arrived at the door of their boudoir, Li Qingzhao did not stop, but continued to walk forward.

Haoyue was curious and puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Zhao Gongzi is right, I am also a person who is disgusted by Miss Cai, she harmed Zhao Gongzi, then I will also be hurt by her." ”

When Haoyue heard this, her heart suddenly became nervous, and she didn't intervene anymore. Instead, he silently followed behind the young lady.

Li Qingzhao hurriedly walked to his parents' room, and when he saw that the light was still on in the room, he thought to himself, "Daddy and mother must still be waiting for me." ”

So Li Qingzhao called softly: "Daddy, is my mother asleep?" ”

A mother's voice came from inside the door: "You come in." ”

Li Qingzhao turned around and said to Haoyue: "You go back to your room and rest." Don't have to wait for me. ”

Haoyue shook her head and said, "Haoyue has to wait for Miss." ”

Li Qingzhao lowered his head and groaned, then raised his head again, nodded with her, and said, "Sister, wait a moment." ”

So he gently pushed the door open, and Li Qingzhao walked into the room. I saw candles lit on the table, and the two parents sat on the edge of the bed and the other on the chair.

Li Gefei and Li's mother were very happy to see Li Qingzhao. Mother Li hurriedly said: "How about going this time?" ”

Li Qingzhao knew that his mother was asking about his own situation to find Zhao Gongzi, and then thought to himself: "Zhao Gongzi is only afraid that he will not see me again, he has encountered a disaster, and he doesn't know where to go!" ”

With a slight purser of his lips, Li Qingzhao said, "Dad and mother know that I went out." ”

Li Gefei said: "Now that the situation is special, how can we not know that you are out?" ”

Mother Li looked at the remaining stains in the corners of Li Qingzhao's eyes. and the corners of his eyes that had been soaked for a long time, he couldn't help but get up and stepped forward, walked up to Li Qingzhao and looked at the corners of her eyes, and said with great concern: "Look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying." ”

After Li Qingzhao was stunned, he reached out to touch the corner of his eye, knowing that his mother had guessed what he had seen today, so he no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "Today's incident makes Qingzhao very sad. ”

Mother Li's eyes widened. "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Gefei looked at his daughter dressed in men's clothes, looking like a wolf, it seemed that she had indeed experienced something again, and was suddenly stunned. I thought to myself: "She is competing with Lord Cai's daughter for Zhao Defu, could it be that she saw Lord Cai's daughter again tonight, arguing with her, and even fighting?" ”

With a sudden shock in his heart, Li Gefei didn't dare to think about it anymore, but secretly said in his heart: "Although I, Li Gefei, have a low official position. The status is not prominent, but if you Cai Jing bullies me, I promise to make you look good. ”

So Li Gefei also took a step forward and asked with great concern: "Little girl, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Li Qingzhao stretched out his hand to stroke the curls on his sideburns, choked up, and said: "What Daddy said has come true, sure enough, the Zhao family will suffer greatly, but I am afraid that Lord Zhao will not be able to protect himself." ”

Li Gefei looked Li Qingzhao up and down, and asked again, "Are you hurt?" ”

Li Qingzhao shook his head slowly and said, "Qingzhao is fine. ”

Li Gefei sighed, and then said again: "Could it be that Zhao Tingzhi is really going to be dismissed?" ”

Mother Li then asked, "What's the matter?" Qingzhao was not in a hurry, sat down and said. ”

Mother Li stretched out her hand to point to the seat with Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingzhao walked over and sat down, her eyes were blank, looking at the empty space in front of her, as if she was in a daze.

"Daddy." With tears in her eyes, she was still looking into the void, not knowing what she was looking at.

Li Gefei stepped forward and said, "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”

Li Qingzhao suddenly fixed his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Gefei, and stretched out his arms like a young child.

Li Gefei didn't know what he meant, but he still took a step forward, but was hugged by Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao hugged his father, and the tears in his eyes poured down like a flood that burst the embankment, soaking Li Gefei's collar in an instant.

Li Gefei listened to his daughter's cry, miserable, but vaguely unfair, so he reached out and gently patted the little girl's back, and said, "Daddy is here, you can tell me if you have anything." ”

Li Qingzhao cried for a while, crying his eyes painfully, and then slowly let go of Li Gefei, and the two were separated by a fraction of a second, looking at each other.

Li Qingzhao was tormented in his heart.

Li Gefei was very anxious in his heart, thinking about asking what was going on again, but after thinking about it again, he and his wife had asked many times, and Qingzhao didn't answer, it must have hurt in his heart, so he didn't ask more, or wait, let her say it herself!

After waiting for a while, Li Qingzhao said, "I just went to Zhao Mansion and saw Zhao Gongzi." ”

Mother Li stared at Li Qingzhao with both eyes, and asked again, "Then what?" ”

Li Qingzhao told him how he talked to the doorman, how he met with Zhao Gongzi, and how Zhao Gongzi was depressed, but he only talked about Cai Nu ruthlessly and gloated, which was just a general summary and not a detailed explanation.

Li Gefei listened, and his face was suffocating. finally nodded, and said weakly: "It seems that I am not wrong, and it is true." ”

Li Qing took care of his father's ugly face, and held his breath for a moment. I thought he would say a few words of injustice very forcefully, but I didn't expect that my father just said it softly, as if he had no confidence. It seems that Daddy really has no countermeasures about this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao's heart was even more tormented, and he was stunned. She thought of Zhao Gongzi's words to warn her again.

Li Gefei didn't know what Li Qingzhao was thinking at this time, he just looked to the side, and sighed to himself: "Although Zhao Tingzhi and I are opponents, it is not your life or death. Now that he is in trouble, I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

Mother Li also said: "They are all officials in the court, who wants to see their colleagues suffer?" ”

Li Gefei waved his sleeves and said, "Who says it's not!" Zhao Tingzhi and I had some small frictions, but they were all for the court, not for their own selfish interests. There's nothing I can't look down on him.

If he were to receive a little criticism and advice from the emperor in ordinary times, I might still be proud in my heart. Gloat. ”

Speaking of this, Li Gefei had an apology on his face, so he said: "Of course, everyone has weaknesses, and I know that I am not right to gloat." ”

Mother Li said again: "It's normal to fight each other and have some hatred for each other, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Li Gefei smiled faintly, and then said: "Now that I hear that he has a disaster, I can't bear it in my heart. ”

Mother Li said: "Then is Lord Cai really so ruthless?" It's like this just because of a marriage? ”

Li Gefei said: "If people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Besides, he Cai Jing is self-assured. and Tong Guan as a friend. Naturally, it is even more hegemonic and deceitful. He doesn't feel bad if he doesn't bully others, how can he still tolerate his daughter being abandoned?

Mother Li sighed and said, "This person has really gone too far. ”

Li Gefei said: "What can I do about this? The emperor personally decreed, and Zhao Tingzhi's calamity was decided. ”

Li Qingzhao listened to his father and mother talking. The tears in the corners of his eyes have not stopped, and now when he heard his father say, "Lord Zhao's calamity is determined", he suddenly trembled, his hands couldn't help touching randomly, and his lips opened and closed.

Finally, Li Qingzhao couldn't help it, so he turned around and said, "What about Daddy?" ”

Li Qingzhao was very loud. Li Gefei and Li Mu were both startled.

Mother Li turned to look at Li Qingzhao, her brows tightened, and she asked puzzledly, "Qingzhao, what did you say?" ”

Li Qingzhao also turned to look at his mother, pouted downward, and said, "What about Daddy?" ”

Li Gefei said: "What's wrong with me? ”

Li Qingzhao said: "Zhao Gongzi has a catastrophe, so won't our Li family also suffer a catastrophe?" ”

Li Gefei turned his head and thought about it, as if he understood what Li Qingzhao meant, so his expression was in a trance, but he tried his best to control himself, and suddenly laughed and said, "How come?" ”

Mother Li also understood Li Qingzhao's words, so her eyes widened, and she said, "Yes, Qingzhao and Miss Cai's hatred is greater." Miss Cai took revenge on Zhao Defu, then our family is ...... clear."

Li Gefei trembled again, and his mind ran away.

With a shake of his head, Li Gefei came back to his senses, tried hard to control himself, and said, "No." ”

Li Qingzhao asked, "Is Daddy sure?" ”

Mother Li felt uncomfortable, and her nose was sour, and she almost wanted to cry.

Li Gefei said: "I am honest in the court, how can he Cai Jing impeach me?" How do I report it? Unless something is made out of nothing. ”

Li Qingzhao cried: "Qingzhao is also afraid of ......"

Li Gefei said: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making something out of nothing? The Holy One has no enmity against me, and will not embarrass me. Besides, Dongpo Gong is here, how can I have something? ”

Although he said this, Li Gefei still flashed a trace of fear in his heart.

Zhao Defu offended an important person, his family will definitely be punished heavily, and his daughter is actually the same as Zhao Defu, who offended Cai Jing's daughter thoroughly. So his fate will be the same as Zhao Tingzhi?

If he lost the trust of the saint and was demoted to an official position because of party and government reasons, he didn't say anything, and he didn't feel any humiliation.

But now that he has a grudge with the Cai family because of his marriage, if Cai Jing says bad things about himself in front of the saint because of this, then he and his family will have to ......

Li Gefei's fear and worry became more and more strict at this time, and today he only thought about feeling worthless for Zhao Tingzhi, and he really didn't expect that he would also be implicated.

Li Qing's eyes lost their brilliance when he looked at his father, and his face was slightly filled with fear, and he thought in his heart at the moment: "Is it really as Zhao Gongzi said?" What punishment will my father receive because of me? Could it be that our Li family is also going to fall into the market, be laughed at by others, and become a famous person? ”

Li Qingzhao was trembling all over, her fingers were constantly moving, she slowly reached out, trying to touch her long hair, but it was very difficult to reach out.

Mother Li was on the side, looking at the father and daughter who were both distracted, and guessed in her heart: "Will we become the second Zhao family?" ”

Li Gefei thought for a long time, and finally said a sentence: "Impossible." ”

He said this very normally, as if he didn't care.

Mother Li stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Gefei: "Can you be sure?" ”

Li Gefei looked at his wife, saw that her eyes were attentive, and she was staring at herself tightly, and then at her daughter, she saw that although she was a little godless and ownerless, she also stared at herself with a pair of tearful eyes.

Li Gefei thought about it left and right, nodded, and said very slowly: "I can be sure." Ge Fei was an official in the court, and since now, he has fulfilled his duties, never pretending to be public or private, and even more harmless to others. Up and down the court, I still recognize it to some extent. ”

Mother Li sighed: "What's the use of that? If the emperor says that you are guilty, what is the use of you even if you have thousands of friends? ”

Li Gefei hurriedly asked, "When did the Holy One say that I was guilty?" Don't accuse yourself of blaming yourself and underestimating yourself. ”

Li Qing looked at his father's appearance, obviously pretending to be calm, but in fact, his heart was already in chaos.

Suddenly, there was another sob, Li Qingzhao held the table at hand with both hands, and thought to himself: "No matter what my father does, I can't let my parents be depressed, I need to say something positive." ”

Therefore, Li Qingzhao said again: "Daddy will be fine." ”

Mother Li listened to the little girl's words, turned her head to look at her, saw her face full of confidence, and was puzzled, but she thought again: "I don't know why Qingzhao said this." But whether there is anything wrong or not, we can't let Qingzhao feel pressured in his heart. ”

Therefore, Mother Li should also talk to the little girl and say, "Yes, Ge Fei will be fine." ”

Li Gefei was originally pretending to be calm, but now he should be with her mother and daughter, and said, "Of course I'll be fine." Now let's feel sorry for the Zhao family. Up and down the court, who can help him? (To be continued.) )
