PS: Four thousand words in one

The west wing is nominally the west side of the study, but it is actually a separate side of the courtyard, and the rockery just stretches out from the middle of the west wing and the study, and a hole is opened in the mountain for people to enter and exit. Li Xinchen had no one to guide him, so he could only feel the stones and walk through the darkness, but fortunately, there was also a little light on the side of the west wing, which could be regarded as guiding Li Xinchen.

Reaching out and knocking lightly on the door, Li Xinchen found that the door was half-covered, exhaled lightly, and simply pushed the door in.

A cloaked figure was standing with his back to the door, looking at the poems hanging on the wall. That was the one that Li Xinchen wrote at the Stone Mountain Poetry Conference before, but he didn't expect it to be hung here by Xu Ling.

"Crossing the far Jingmen and coming from the Chu country to ······"

More than a year has passed, and although the ink is dry, the past is still like a cloud of smoke, and it is always floating in front of me. Li Xinchen was stunned for a while, and he was a little distracted.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the man slowly turned around, and when he saw the comer, he immediately lifted his cloak.

Under the black cloak was a moon-white dress, and the girl's smiling face appeared in Li Xinchen's sight, and Li Xinchen couldn't move her gaze at this time.

Unfastened the cloak casually, the girl rushed to Li Xinchen's side in three steps and two steps, if she was Xiao Xiang at this time, she might have jumped directly into Li Xinchen's arms, but she still held back after all, and stopped only a few inches away from Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen smiled and said, "Le'er, long time no see." ”

There were already crystal tears flashing in her eyes, and Princess Lechang looked at Li Xinchen with wide eyes as much as possible, as if she wanted to rub Li Xinchen in her eyes and engrave it deeply in her heart.

"Enemies." Zhu Li's lips were lightly raised, and Lechang didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

These two words "jingling" fell on Li Xinchen's heart like raindrops, making his heart ache for no reason.

When she was fighting on the front line and there was no news, how much did this girl who was thousands of miles away bear the pain of missing? And when Chen Ji decided to marry her to herself—as a princess rather than a lover—how many family and country grievances did she silently bear?

Li Xinchen never felt that there was anything wrong with what he was pursuing now, from a personal point of view, he wanted to win the Central Plains and dominate the world, and from the perspective of all the people, he wanted to end this troubled era and fundamentally return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Therefore, Li Xinchen has faced too many obstacles and opponents, but he has never hesitated or regretted it. But obviously, all these worries and worries, hesitation and helplessness in front of him are all brought to Lechang, if there is no existence of his own, at least Lechang does not need to experience this complex and uncomfortable emotion now, and does not need to bear the burden of this dilemma of the family and the country.

After all, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, and she didn't even graduate from high school at this age in later generations.

But at this time, she needs to struggle between the entire dynasty and the people she loves, this pain Li Xinchen knows that she can't feel it, and she knows that she can't replace it with her body. He doesn't want one day when he wins the whole world, but he fails the person he loves.

Just when Li Xinchen hesitated, a gust of fragrant wind hit his face, and then Li Xinchen felt that nephrite was full of arms. At this time, Lechang put down his reserve and threw himself directly into Li Xinchen's arms.

Li Xinchen subconsciously stretched out his arm to wrap around the girl's soft waist, and the girl was clinging to his chest, tears sliding down his cheeks and wetting his clothes.

"You're finally back." Le Chang's voice was very low and soft, even a little hoarse, no longer crisp as before, but it directly touched Li Xinchen's heart, making him not know how ruthless he was to abandon such a gentle girl.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xinchen said in a low voice: "So-and-so is back." ”

Le Chang slapped Li Xinchen's chest, the man's skin was as hard as iron, but she just beat it for a while, and the hard waiting and longing of these days were all mixed in this gentle but affectionate force.

"Le'er, why did you come to see me at this time?" Li Xinchen wrapped his arms around Le Chang's waist and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her cheeks, but Le Chang grabbed the handkerchief and stuffed it directly into his sleeve, then grabbed Li Xinchen's hand and put it on his cheek, letting the tears flow down Li Xinchen's fingers.

Thousands of love words, thousands of comforts, crossed Li Xinchen's heart, but at this moment, he didn't know which sentence he should say, because of this kind of guilt and helplessness, no matter how much he said to make up for it, it was just self-deception.

Li Xinchen had no way to make a promise to Lechang, and there was no way to guarantee the future of the two of them. When he puts everything into the world, he is destined to lose some of the rest, such as perhaps safe happiness.

Le Chang grabbed Li Xinchen's sleeve, her fingers seemed to be torn through the clothes, she looked straight at Li Xinchen: "Because I don't know if I can see you next time, I don't know what kind of identity you and I will be when we meet next time······

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, what kind of identity ······ is no longer the identity that once relied on each other when facing the chasing soldiers in the valley, but Her Royal Highness Princess Lechang and General Zhenxi of Nan Chen, but the unruly General Zhenxi has gradually escaped the control of the imperial court, Lechang is destined to be used by Chen Ji as a tool to tie Li Xinchen and Nan Chen together, or the bottom line is to let Li Xinchen think of a relationship to ensure the circulation of Chen's bloodline.

As Le Chang said, after tonight, the identity may be different, and when I say goodbye, I am afraid that there is no way to pour out my heart like today, and there is no way to treat the other party as my own support rather than an opponent like today.

Li Xinchen laughed, held Le Chang's shoulder with one hand, and gently wiped away the still tragic tears on her cheeks with the other hand: "The future is not as easy as imagined, we are destined to go through hardships, so are we afraid?" ”

Le Chang didn't expect Li Xinchen to ask such a question, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Isn't this asking knowingly, I'm afraid ······?"

It is false to say that you are not afraid, and the grievances of the family and country have made it difficult for many people to make a choice, and how many people have hesitated to move forward. When he fell in love with this man standing in front of him like a mountain at the bottom of the valley, Lechang never thought that one day he would have to face these problems, and he never thought that Li Xinchen would become Da Chen's most difficult enemy when he came back from his blood and fire······

Maybe falling in love with him was a mistake in itself, but now he has no choice.

"But," without waiting for Li Xinchen to answer, Le Chang gently stretched out his hand and stroked Li Xinchen's face, this face was a little less rounded and smooth than the white-clothed man, and a lot more mature and steady, Le Chang's hand slid lightly on the lines, as if to engrave all this in her heart, and although her voice was still very low, it became more resolute, "Even if it is a moth to the fire, I want to be with you well, this is my own choice, no one can change it!" ”

The girl's words were resolute and loud.

Li Xinchen took her in his arms, and the faint aroma lingered on the tip of his nose, and for a while he couldn't even tell whether it was a dream or reality. And Le Chang muttered: "Li Lang, how many days and nights, do you know how hard I waited for your news, the news about Bashu in the capital is always intermittent, and there are even rumors that you have been wiped out, but I don't believe it······ However, although I don't believe it, I always dream of you covered in blood when I dream back at midnight, and I dream of you in the sea of corpses and blood······"

After a pause, Lechang leaned tightly against Li Xinchen: "Am I still in a dream now?" ”

Li Xinchen said with a smile: "No, now we are down-to-earth, in reality, if you don't believe it, it will hurt if you pinch me." ”

Le Chang couldn't help but laugh, and Li Xinchen said softly: "I know what you're worried about, yes, Your Majesty's attitude has always been ambiguous, and I don't even know if I can survive tomorrow, of course I'm not qualified to say anything to you······"

"Don't say that!" Le Chang directly interrupted Li Xinchen and reached out to cover his mouth, "If you are not qualified, then there is no one else in this world who is qualified." I sneaked out of the palace this time to tell you that my father is not going to attack you, at least for now, and that he still has expectations that you will be able to obey his will again. ”

While speaking, Le Chang turned to look at Li Xinchen, and her voice trembled slightly: "Li Lang, is it okay?" ”

Li Xinchen frowned: "What can you not?" ”

"You don't have to play stupid, you know." Le Chang bit his lower lip and looked straight at Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew what Lechang wanted to ask, she wanted to ask if she could go back, become a courtier loyal to Nan Chen again, and fight the world for Nan Chen, but Lechang never thought about a problem, that is, he would not go back, but he never thought of doing this.

He Li Xinchen crossed once, not to work for Nan Chen, especially Li Xinchen knows very well what kind of goods the next generation monarch Chen Shubao is.

Lechang only said that Li Xinchen was already hesitating, and immediately held his hand tightly, the girl's hand was slightly cold, and there was a thin layer of sweat on it, obviously she was a little excited, and even more nervous:

"Li Lang, as long as you promise me and promise your father, then your father will definitely reward you, and then even if you are the king of the county and the king with a different surname, it is not impossible, and you are still Da Chen's concubine, no one dares to provoke you inside and outside the Da Chen country, you are more majestic than now, more powerful than now······"

Li Xinchen quietly looked at Lechang, who was a little anxious, he knew very well that what Lechang wanted most at this time was his affirmative answer, or even just a nod.

Then everything will be good, at least for Lechang.

But Li Xinchen knew how cruel his answer was, but he didn't want to deceive Lechang, this girl was as simple as a budding white lotus, and he would rather tell her how dangerous and cruel the world above the water was, rather than let her be brutally destroyed by the wind after a short period of beautiful bloom.

Thinking of this, Li Xinchen shook his head, although slowly, but extremely firm.

Le Chang's hand slowly let go, falling weakly, this time Li Xinchen did not hold her hand, but he took a decisive step forward, forced Le Chang into the corner, and said in a deep voice:

"Le'er, what does a certain want, and how to do it, will not be changed by any external objects and external forces, the chaos in this world will be split, and the people of this world will not hesitate to use the current war to bring them long-term peace in the future. Whether it is the king of the county or the horse, these are all confinements and cages on this road, and a certain cannot let himself go into the cage again. ”

The anticipation and joy in Le Chang's eyes had gradually dissipated, his face was pale, his thin lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't seem to be able to say anything. Could it be that for Li Xinchen, he is also a cage and imprisonment?

In his eyes, he is holding him back?

Are all the encounters and encounters just lies, just a whim of Li Xinchen?

At this time, Li Xinchen supported the wall with one hand, but the other hand dodged the road: "But you are different from these so-called fame and fortune, you are a person you like and want to protect, but now that this road is going down, it is destined to go against the current you, so you are a fetter of so-and-so, and so-and-so is willing to stop and wait for you, and is willing to move forward with you······ Even if the sky is falling apart, even if the sea is rotten, nothing can stop us. ”

Le Chang looked at Li Xinchen in a daze, and Li Xinchen then said: "But everyone has their own ambitions, and there is no way to ask you for what you decide, and you are not qualified to make decisions for a person who also has life, so you want to leave now, you want to keep your distance from so-and-so, although you can go from here, and then so-and-so may still marry you according to His Majesty's will, but at that time······ A certain is Zhenxi General Li Xinchen, and you are Her Royal Highness Princess Lechang, everything before has nothing to do with us after that. ”

When the words fell, Li Xinchen met Le Chang's gaze and nodded solemnly.

Now all he can do is how Lechang should go next, and then respect Lechang's choice. He is also in the Longtan Tiger's Den in Jiankang Mansion, he has no way to do more, maybe becoming a stranger is the best choice.

After that, even if they get married, they only maintain the simplest relationship between the princess and the concubine, and even can separate according to the convention, but there is such a connection in name.

After being silent for a long time, Le Chang smiled lightly: "If this encounter is like a dream, it is really a thought-provoking nightmare." ”

Li Xinchen was silent, and Lechang's smile was even bigger: "This palace will not leave, this palace wants to see what kind of storm this Jiankang Mansion and this world can be rolled up by you!" ”

As he spoke, Le Chang put his hands behind his back and blinked: "Is it okay?" ”

Li Xinchen only felt that the blood was rushing to his head all of a sudden, but he immediately calmed down, looked at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This girl is still as stubborn as ever, how many compromises after struggle, and how many new expectations and persistence are in her smile?

Continuing to take a step forward, Li Xinchen hugged Lechang, and Lechang also leaned on his shoulder obediently. Feeling the breath that was close at hand, Li Xinchen gritted his teeth slightly.

In this life, there are always people who cannot be disappointed.
