Chapter Twenty-Six: Xuan'er is saved
Li Yuanji walked on the path a little irritable, just after the heavy rain, everything on the hillside was green, he walked on the path alone with all kinds of boredom, and he became discouraged, simply not following the road, where the road is not good to go.
In his head, Li Shimin's embarrassed face was always projected yesterday.
"Ruyue ......" he whispered Ruyue's name, and the only memory was the dance of that banquet...... He asked himself countless faces, unlike his second brother, Li Shimin looks bohemian, in fact, he keeps the same distance from every woman, and he is different, he does not have Li Shimin's spotless concentration among thousands of flowers, he has always refused to refuse beauties, that's it, he never thinks so.
It was too careless to see Li Shimin's dejected appearance, and he couldn't explain the inexplicable feeling in his heart, and even because he was standing at the eaves not far from the door, he heard the conversation between Li Shimin and the woman clearly.
For so many years, even if the second brother has a gap with his father, it is the second brother who has skipped people, and I don't know how many things on the battlefield have been helped to my father......
Xu and his eldest brother misunderstood him, maybe he didn't think about fighting for anything in the first place, maybe he really just wanted to work for the welfare of the people......
The more Li Yuanji thought about it, the more his head hurt, and he kicked a pebble under his feet like a naughty child.
Following the direction of the pebble, he suddenly found a woman lying in the bushes in front of him, and the clothes of ordinary women lay there motionless.
He boldly walked over, stretched out his index finger under the woman's nose, and barely helped the woman up, her face was soaking and scratching from the branches, her clothes were rotten in several places, and there were some blood stains on her knees.
The woman had a high fever, and her whole body was wet, she must have been drenched here for a day, and her breath was getting weaker and weaker, and she must have died in this wilderness if she didn't make a move.
Before he had time to think about it, he picked up the woman and walked back.
But I stepped on a hard thing under my feet.
Li Yuanji didn't plan to care, but after a faint glance, he couldn't move his steps.
Not caring about the woman, he leaned down and carefully picked up the thing, if he expected, this was the jade seal. Let the heroes of the world break their heads, the jade seal is actually on a woman, and if it is not for the fact that he happened to pass by here today, the battle between the world is afraid to be endless.
Li Yuanji didn't care about politics, but he also knew that he was a member of the Tang Dynasty and always had an unshirkable responsibility, so he put the jade seal in his money bag and left with the woman in his arms.
Li Jiancheng heard early in the morning that his third brother who loves beauty didn't know where to bring a beauty, and since he entered the room, he greeted a large number of maids, and even Li Jiancheng's doctor who specially rationed the eldest grandson Ningxi in order to win people's hearts was also dropped by him.
Since Li Shimin appeared, Li Jiancheng couldn't sleep at night, but his third brother caused trouble for himself again, he angrily ignored the obstruction of Li Yuanji's personal servant, and went straight into Li Yuanji's room without knocking on the door.
I saw that my third brother was like an old mother, and I would feed that person some water for a while, and touch my forehead for a while.
It's just that he has pampered his third brother since he was a child, and no matter how big his anger is, he can only swallow it in his stomach, and he said angrily: "Send her away!" ”
Li Yuanji knew that his brother was going to be angry again. took out the jade seal from his sleeve: "Big brother, look! ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up the moment he saw the jade seal, but how could he not believe that the jade seal that everyone dreamed of was obtained without any effort: "This ...... Isn't it...... The people of the world agreed that whoever gets it will support the jade seal as the king......"
"Big brother, take a look!" Li Yuanji did not shy away from stuffing the jade seal directly into Li Jiancheng's hand, "Is this really a jade seal...... If you really can't be sure, find a master who appreciates treasures......"
"Let me see, let me see......" Li Jiancheng's anger disappeared in an instant, and when he touched the jade seal missing a corner that was difficult to find, he was almost overjoyed, "The ancient book said that there was still something wrong with Zhao when he returned to Zhao...... Therefore, there is actually a flaw on the jade seal that has been together for generations......" He pointed to Li Yuanji, then patted Li Yuanji on the shoulder, and exclaimed, "Well done!" Third brother. ”
"Big brother...... If you send this girl away now...... She was seriously injured...... Li Yuanji hesitated, "To send her away is to let her die......"
"This girl is here for now!" Li Jiancheng interrupted Li Yuanji, "Presumably the jade seal came from here, there are still some things that need to be asked clearly, just wait for her to come to her senses." ”
He just heard the legend, but he couldn't be sure, so he was in a hurry to find someone to identify it, so he hurriedly said to Li Yuanji, "Take good care of it." Then he walked out of the room, and his pace was so fast that he didn't see the flowers hiding beside him.
She heard the conversation between the two people clearly, stood at the door and took a closer look at the girl's face, if she remembered correctly, she was Yang Guang's eldest daughter: Yang Xuan'er.
It's just that she is the proud daughter of the sky, why did she fall into this way? Is Yang Ruyue really dead? Ruhua never believed that Yang Ruyue died so simply, if Li Jiancheng had Princess Xuan and still had her own foothold? Previously, Li Jiancheng swore that he promised himself gold, silver and jewelry, but now, no one regards her as the third princess of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jiancheng's attitude has also changed, she has suffered all the white eyes, and she no longer wants to live a poor life...... She thought about it for a while and made up her mind that she was going to stay here and be a subordinate. Even if you can't go to Lang.
Thinking of this, she lifted the corner of her skirt and pretended to pass by casually.
"Your Royal Highness King Qi, are you so worried?" Pretending to pass by, Ruhua walked in here as a matter of course under the banner of caring about Li Yuanji. Seeing the person lying on the bed, he covered his mouth in surprise, "Xuan'er? ”
After that, he pretended to be worried and ran over and sat at the head of Xuan'er's bed: "How did Xuan'er become like this?" After that, he touched Xuan'er's forehead, "So hot?" ”
rushed to Li Yuanji's feet again, and knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you must save Xuan'er!" ”
"What are you doing here?" Li Yuanji looked confused, except for the first meeting, this woman has been pestering her eldest brother, and she has a very shallow relationship with herself, Li Yuanji always feels that this woman is scheming. "You know her?"
"She is the eldest daughter of my imperial brother, Princess Xuan." Ruhua pretended to cry and said, "Xuan'er has always been well-behaved and obedient among our elders, who made Xuan'er like this?" My little Xuan'er is so pitiful! ”
"You say she's Yang Xuan'er?" Li Yuanji said with a look of surprise.
"Exactly." Ruhua cried, "Everyone likes Xuan'er, please ask His Highness to save Xuan'er." ”
"You get up first." Lean over and lift up like a flower.
Li Yuanji felt that his heart was in turmoil for some reason, if the imperial brother knew the identity of this woman, he would use it again. But for some reason, I couldn't bear it for a moment when I looked at the thin body and pale face.
"Princess Ruhua is not there all the year round, and the princess must have admitted her mistake." Li Yuanji said lightly to Ruhua, "This person is full of rags and thin, it won't be Princess Xuan, and I hope that Princess Ruhua won't go out and talk nonsense, so as not to demagogue, especially for my eldest brother, it is not good to make my eldest brother happy." ”
"How can you admit your mistake!" Ruhua hurriedly defended.
Li Yuanji no longer gave her a chance to speak, and forcibly pushed her out; "This king said that if you admit your mistake, you will admit your mistake, and Hugh has to speak falsely in front of others!" Take-out and door-to-door "bang! "A bang.
was like a flower, but he had no choice but to roll his eyes at the air. Gone indignantly.
Donghua woke up in a coma for two days, and her first reaction was to look for Xuan'er, but Li Shimin sent a group of people, but they always said that they returned empty-handed, and asked passers-by, no one had seen a corpse or a person as described by Donghua.
"Maybe it was taken away by a wild beast and eaten by a wild animal." Someone told her so.
Donghua sighed in her heart, she had failed the princess's trust, but what about the jade seal? I also know that now the person who gets the jade seal has the world, and the jade seal is gone like Princess Xuan, but how can I say such a thing to others?
Donghua quietly went up the mountain to look for it several times, but still couldn't find anything, seeing that there were only three days left before the Heroes Conference, but the second son either sat on the bank of the canal in a daze all day, or drank drunk, and when he was drunk, he lay there to sleep, and no one could persuade him to leave.
Winter flowers can only be seen in the eyes and anxious in the heart.
In the dream, there was a black-robed man standing on the bank of the canal, hysterically calling his name, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the river was violently hitting the riverbank, but he didn't know it, and walked to the middle of the river step by step.
"If you're gone, I'll go with you." The man said softly.
The river flooded his ankles, his knees, his waist, and was about to reach the top of his head......
"No, no, no!" Struggling to sit up, "I'm not dead, and you don't want to die either!" ”
Ruyue suddenly opened her eyes, she was dressed in clean coarse cloth, looked around, a simple thatched house, the back room was just a simple bed, I don't know what flowers and plants were hanging outside the window, blocking the view, the wall was made of mud, and reaching out to stroke the loess in one hand.
The sheets and quilts were the worst of the linen, but they were unusually clean and neat, with no signs of wrinkles.
At the head of the bed were piles of sun-dried herbs and weeds, and the fur of some unknown animal hung on the walls.
Are you dead or alive? Why is it here?
Ruyue only felt a pain in her head, and she couldn't think of anything.
