Li Dan also felt numb in his hands and feet, so he had to go back to the house, sat for a while, and when it was time to eat, the maids put the steaming meal on the table, and came to invite His Royal Highness Li Dan to eat, Li Dan waved his hand and said, "Wait a while, wait for the second concubine to come back and eat together." ”

"Wait a little longer, and the food will be cold." The maid said.

"It's cold and hot." Li Dan said impatiently.

After another half an hour, the second concubine had not returned, and the food on the table had been heated twice. Li Dan had to send the little eunuch to inquire again.

The little eunuch obeyed and ran away as fast as he could.

It didn't take long for him to turn around and report: "The second concubine's car is still waiting outside the palace, and the father-in-law there said that His Majesty may have left the second concubine to eat in the Dejia Palace." Your Highness, let's eat some food first. ”

Li Dan had to take heavy steps and sit down at the dining table, but he still had no appetite, drank a small bowl of soup, and felt empty in his heart, so he had to push the rice bowl away and lie down on the bed.

Looking at the top of the rose-patterned tent and touching no one around him, Li Dan was uneasy. He suddenly felt how bleak the world was, and how often it was impossible for people to live.

Life seems to be born to be full of bitterness, from childhood to adulthood, there are dangers everywhere. After living so big, as a descendant of the royal family, it seems that he has never enjoyed real happiness, and he has never had a time of peace of mind and comfort. There is only one bad thing after another, hitting and persecuting yourself. Li Dan thought for a while, and then asked to put the drip clock at the head of his bed.

Before you know it, the sun has set; Before you know it, it's twilight. I don't know when it started, the sky was overcast, and snowflakes quietly drifted in the cold sky.

A big lantern was lit at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion early to light the way for those who returned that night.

When it was time for dinner again, the maids put the steaming meal on the table again, and a palace maid came over with Nana, said a blessing, and said, "Please have dinner with Your Highness." ”

I just finished the last meal, and then the next meal, it's really an endless meal. Li Dan didn't seem to hear the maid's words, and said to himself: "Could it be that the mother queen wants to leave the second concubine for dinner, this is something that has never happened." ”

"Someone!" Li Dan shouted.

"Ah," a eunuch ran over and bowed his head to obey.

"Hurry up and take a look at the Dejia Palace, if you don't see the second concubine, you must also ask about the situation before coming back."

"Yes." The little eunuch agreed, touched a hat and put it on his head, and ran out. After a while, he came back again, and said with a happy face: "Your Highness, you're back, the second concubine is back." ”

"Really!" Li Dan was so busy that he didn't even wear a brocade robe, and rushed out of the door wearing only a middle coat. ran to the gate, and saw the second concubine's car, pressed by the thin snow, squeaked and twisted.

Li Dan, who was standing in the doorway, beckoned excitedly.

The eunuch who took the lead jumped off his horse, staggered over, and asked from afar: "Your Highness, Your Highness, have the two five concubines Liu and Dou come back?" ”

Li Dan's heart sank, and he hurriedly ran down the steps, grabbed the eunuch who ran over and asked, "Where are the second concubines Liu and Dou?" ”

"Didn't you go home first?" The eunuch asked with a sad face.

"Didn't I go with you to the Degar Hall in the morning?" Li Dan asked anxiously.

The eunuch looked around, gasped and said, "The second concubine has entered the palace to congratulate Your Majesty." I waited outside with the charioteer, and waited until noon before the second concubine came out, and when I asked, the father-in-law on duty said that maybe His Majesty would be in charge of the meal at noon. A few of us waited again, and when it was almost dark, the inner palace was about to close and lock, and the father-in-law on duty told us to let us go back, don't wait any longer, saying that the second concubine had already gone back. ”

"When did you come back?"

As soon as Li Dan heard that the situation was not right, he hurriedly instructed people to go to Dejia Hall again.

Before the people set off, Li Dan suddenly roared: "Come back!" ”

"There's no need anymore. Go and put the two princesses' houses in order. Let's sort it out as it was. ”

With that, he turned around and went into the house.

The fire in the house was blazing, the food was fragrant, and there was silence, as if waiting for the two people who would not return. Li Dan looked at the jumping fire intently, but his heart, which was upset like a knife, was surprisingly calm.

The next day, there was still no news from the second concubine. Li Dan was playing Go by himself in the study alone, as if nothing had happened.

He calmly told himself that the more he got to this point, the more he had to be calm, the more he had to calm down, and the more he had to pretend that he was nothing. The mysterious disappearance of the second concubine is irretrievable, and if he acts carelessly and annoys the mother emperor, the next person to disappear may be himself, or his children.

Endure, endure again, endure for a hundred years, unarmed, without any power, only forbearance can survive in the cracks, and it is possible to live to the end, to the day of sunrise in Yunkai.

In the next few days, Li Dan acted like he was fine. Reading, writing, wandering around the courtyard, playing games with the boys.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was so calm, the people in the Xiangwang Mansion also behaved in a proper manner, as if nothing had happened, and when the two princesses went back to their parents' house. Dotted Library

At night, Li Dan sent all the eunuchs and maids away, and stood alone in front of the window, looking at the cold

Tears unconsciously filled his cheeks, and he held back himself and never let himself cry. People are different from each other, and only when he is alone at night does he express his deep longing for the second concubine.

Li Dan saw that it was not early, so he came to the bed and prepared to sleep.

He slowly took off his boots, took off his gown, took off his pants, and just wanted to lift the quilt and drill in, when he suddenly saw a waterfall-like hair on the pillow, and a snow-white dazzling body, he was turning back and lying quietly inside, Li Dan reached out and touched the woman's skin, and shouted excitedly: "Aifei, you are here!" ”

"Your Highness!" "Ai Concubine" turned around, screamed delicately, hugged Li Dan at once, and gathered her red lips straight to Li Dan's face.

Li Dan came to his senses, flashed his eyes, and recognized Wei Tuan'er in front of him, so he pointed at her and asked angrily: "You, why did you run to my bed?" ”

"Your Highness!" Wei Tuan'er threw a wink and said, "Tuan'er saw that His Highness was alone in the empty room, so he came to serve His Highness." ”

"I, I don't want anyone to wait, you go!" Li Dan pointed to the door and shouted.

"Why are you so fierce?" Wei Tuan'er rolled her eyes and said: "I am the one who can speak in front of His Majesty, if you treat me well and accept me as your princess, with my ability and means Wei Tuan'er, I will keep you safe." If you disobey me, hum! ”

Wei Tuan'er spat and said, "I'm afraid there will be people who die without a place to be buried!" ”

Li Dan's heart was excited, as if he suddenly understood a lot, and asked angrily: "What's the matter with Liu and Dou's second concubine?" Did you frame it? ”

Wei Tuan'er smiled lightly, stroked Bai Bai's thighs and said, "What is the death of two concubines, it is worth your fuss." ”

Li Dan was extremely disgusted with Wei Tuan'er, and Wei Tuan'er's bewitching face was a skull in his eyes. He angrily shouted outside the door: "Come on! ”

The eunuch on duty heard the cry of His Royal Highness King Xiang, hurriedly turned over and got up, pushed the door in, and Li Dan, who jumped out of bed, lifted his pants, pointed to a pile of white meat on the bed and said, "Quickly drive her away for me!" ”

Wei Tuan'er snorted, put on his clothes, jumped out of bed, pulled on his shoes, and went out.

Li Dan sat down on the chair next to him, holding his head with his hands, and let out a long sigh. A palace maid actually made him, a dignified king, not like a person, a ghost not like a ghost, and a mess.

Wei Tuan'er designed to get rid of the second concubine, and when he saw Li Dan alone in the empty room, he thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, but he didn't think that Li Dan would be determined not to do it himself.

Wei Tuan'er hated from love, and he was angry, and Suo Xing did the wicked to the end, and even Li Dan was harmed.

The next day, Wei Tuan'er ran to Wu Zetian and told the yin again: "His Royal Highness King Xiang has long known about the curse of Kirito, not only did he not prohibit it, but secretly instigated the second concubine. The emperor is so good to him, but he has a rebellious heart, which is really rebellious, please Your Majesty to be clear. ”

After listening to Wei Tuan'er's slander, Wu Zetian was suspicious and decided to summon Li Dan to personally investigate.

When Li Dan heard that his mother was calling, he hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the inner palace.

Seeing the mother emperor, Li Dan held back the bitterness in his heart, looked calm, and saluted the mother emperor: "The child visits the mother emperor, may the mother long live long live the mother!" ”

Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't squeak for a long time, she was carefully observing Li Dan's every move and facial expression, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so she pulled a long face and asked, "Dan'er, what have you done in the Xiangwang Mansion recently?" ”

"Back to the mother, the child basically has no other hobbies except for reading, writing and learning on weekdays."

Wu Zetian picked up the two Tongren from the case, threw them in front of Li Dan, and asked, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Li Dan picked up Kirito, looked at it for a moment, shook his head and said, "The child is only knowledgeable, and he doesn't know what kind of cultural relics this is." ”

Wu Zetian sneered, slapped the case and shouted: "Someone uses it as a disgusting curse, don't you know?" ”

Li Dan was so frightened that he shivered, but quickly adjusted himself and replied calmly: "The child stays at home, and he really doesn't understand what this Kiritto is for, please let the mother emperor know." ”

Wu Zetian saw Li Dan's denial, and he was even more angry, and shouted: "The eunuch who is in the palace of the minister." ”

The eunuchs of the Prime Minister's Mansion who were waiting for Li Dan outside the palace gate were immediately brought in.

When the two eunuchs saw that His Majesty was angry, they trembled with fright, and fell to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

I only heard Wu Zetian shouting on his head: "Look carefully, what is this, if there is half a lie, beat it to death with a stick, drag it out to feed the dogs." ”

Under the guidance of the attendant, the two of them took Kirito tremblingly, and carefully identified it, but their minds were still at a loss, but they didn't dare to say that they didn't know, they opened their mouths, and they just didn't know.

There was another roar on his head: "I don't know the things found in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I dare to deceive me, drag them out and beat them to death!" ”
