Chapter 43: Refusal Again (I)

"The world is impermanent, the time is also, fate, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Li Xian held the notebook in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and let out a long sigh, the look of emotion was not like a teenager, but it was like a weathered old man, and he looked at all the people who were waiting on the side and were dumbfounded, but Li Xian himself was unaware, blindly immersed in reverie - don't look at Li Xian's appearance that he is not very old, that is, a little kid in his early tens, but in fact, there are three memories of his life, and there are not many events in this world that can make him sigh and shock, Obviously, this is one of those things described in the book.

The playbook is just an ordinary playbook, and a lot of text is densely written inside, but after deducting those red tape and other nonsense, the whole article actually only says one thing - Shangguanyi's family is all dead! According to the owner of the book, Liuzhou Thorn Shi Jia Qu, when Shangguan Yi's family was boating in Lishui, a flash flood broke out, the boat sank into the heart of the river, and the boats died, and the corpses entered the sea with the flood, and there was nowhere to find them.

Regarding Shangguan Yi's death, Li Xian actually had a premonition, knowing that it was very likely that he would not be able to reach Aizhou, but this really got the news of his death, Li Xian still couldn't help but sigh with emotion, not only because of Shangguan Wan'er, but also because of his own fate - if after all the efforts, the end is back to the starting point, then what is the meaning of everything, is it difficult to go with the flow? No, never! The suffering of his previous life, Li Xian would never want to do it again!

Well? No, it doesn't taste right! Li Xian sighed silently for a while, suddenly came to his senses, and his heart moved, and he had vaguely guessed what the prince's intentions were in sending someone to send this piece of music - if Shangguan Yi's family really died in a flash flood, then the prince didn't need to send someone to hurry up to deliver such a book, obviously, Shangguan Yi's death was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, although Li Xian didn't know how the prince knew the inside story, and he didn't dare to completely conclude that his guess was the truth, which can be analyzed logically, I'm afraid that's the case, of course, this is not the core intention of the prince to send this recital, and its hidden lines are just to ask Li Xian to express his position.

"Ah, Xiao Wang lost his temper for a while, and asked the prince to see the joke, hehe, the father-in-law has worked hard here, Gao Miao, go, go to the tent to pay ten times, and thank the prince on behalf of the king."

The prince's intentions can be understood, but it is impossible for Li Xian to express his position on this, even if the ambition to suppress the expansion of the Empress Wu, the two sides have common interests, and they can occasionally cooperate, but it is impossible for Li Xian to lean towards the prince, just because Li Xian knows very well that the prince is definitely not the opponent of the Empress Wu, and it will be difficult to escape the poisonous hands of the Empress Wu. casually handed the fold back to Wang Dequan's hand, and after giving an order with a smile, he didn't give Wang Dequan a chance to speak again, and led a group of subordinates into the mansion.

"Your Highness......"

Although Wang Dequan didn't understand the true intention of the prince to ask him to send the recital, he knew that he had to get the statement of Shangguanyi's death from Li Xian's mouth, and he originally saw Li Xian with a lot of emotion, thinking that Li Xian should comment on this matter, and he was excited, but he didn't expect Li Xian to have no other words, this time he saw that Li Xian was leaving, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he opened his mouth to say hello, but unfortunately Li Xian didn't pay attention to his call, and he didn't look back.

"Princess, please."

Gao Miao saw that Wang Dequan had the urge to chase Li Xian, and it was impossible for him to succeed, and what he said was "please", but his hand stretched out horizontally to block Wang Dequan's way, Wang Dequan saw this, so he could only stand in frustration, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, stomped his feet hatefully, and watched Li Xian go far away......

In the Hall of Virtue, the crown prince Li Hong is still sitting behind a few sons, although his face is calm, but the hand holding the pen has been frozen in the air for a long time, and he has not put a pen on the approved notebook, it is obvious that Li Hong's mind is not on the notebook at all, the slightly frowning brows and wandering eyes all show Li Hong's deep worries and anxiety, until a sound of footsteps remembers, Fang will wake up from the fugue state, raise his head, and see that Wang Dequan is back, Li Hong's eyes flashed a trace of discoloration, But he resisted the urge to ask questions reservedly, and only raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at Wang Dequan coming closer.

"Your Highness, the slave has handed over the recital to His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Wang Dequan couldn't guess the root cause of Li Hong's behavior, but he could detect Li Hong's attention to this matter, and faintly felt that he didn't seem to be able to complete Li Hong's explanation.

"Well, what did the seventh brother of Lone say?"

Seeing Wang Dequan's demeanor, Li Hong had already guessed the result, and his face sank instantly, but there was a trace of luck in his heart, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Your Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhou just said ......"

Wang Dequan knew that the mission had not been done well, but in the face of Li Hong's questioning, he did not dare to have the slightest pretense, and honestly described the incident in detail.

"The world is impermanent? What a world is impermanent! Li Hong muttered, waved his hand, and withdrew Wang Dequan, and then had no intention of pretending to correct the recital, put down the red pen in his hand, stood up, and paced back and forth on the front pier of the main hall, his brows were deeply locked, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't guess what Li Xian's innermost thoughts were, and he would refuse his kindness again and again.

said that Li Xian's qualifications were stupid and he couldn't see his good intentions? This is obviously unlikely, if it was in the past, Li Hong might think so, but after experiencing the edict case, Li Hong can see that his seventh brother is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but if you want to say that Li Xian is ambitious, it is not very like, after all, no prince with ambition will come up with the trick of abandoning literature and martial arts, even if he wants to practice martial arts, he will never make such a big move like Li Xian, so neat, it is purely a game of self-exile, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he is seeking his own death. Originally, Li Hong thought that Li Xian was playing the trick of retreating and advancing, but after observing for several months, Li Hong was very surprised to find that Li Xian was really practicing martial arts with all his heart, and he had never even entered the study once, and it didn't seem like he was cheating.

Li Hong secretly instructed Yan Liben to write to Gaozong this time, and sent Li Xian out of Beijing, his intention was originally just a test move, just to see how the two younger brothers would react to this matter, in fact, I really didn't expect Yan Li to be able to do things, but the fact was beyond Li Hong's expectations, Gaozong was actually so accurate, Li Hong can see through the strange here, but this matter is also in line with Li Hong's needs, he is happy to see it, but unfortunately the two younger brothers seem to be very alert, and they didn't drill into the sleeve at all, The matter was just revealed in such a way, Li Hong secretly said that it was a pity, but he was helpless, but deep down he had a little suspicion of Li Xian - Li Hong suspected that the reason why Li Xian, who had an upright temperament, was able to escape this catastrophe was most likely the result of Li Xian's help in secret.

In Li Hong's view, no matter how blind Li Xian is on the surface, it is an indisputable fact that he is quite talented, because of this, Li Hong does not want Li Xian to completely fall to the ambitious Li Xian's side, but unfortunately under repeated temptations, he was politely rejected by Li Xian, which made Li Hong troubled, but also a little puzzled - Li Hong asked himself that he had always been good to Li Xian, and never had the slightest neglect, not only that, whenever Li Xian made a mistake, Li Hong also took care of it, logically speaking, Li Xian should not have any resentment, but what about the facts, Li Xian actually threw himself at Li Xian, who had always treated him coldly, and Li Hong couldn't figure it out how to figure it out, so it was needless to say that he was irritable.

"Someone!"

After Li Hong turned around on the front pier a few times, he suddenly stood on his feet, raised his eyebrows, and broke his throat in a loud voice.

"The slave is here."

Wang Dequan was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he heard Li Hong's call, he hurriedly ran into the hall and bowed in response.

"Go, invite King Zhou into the palace, and say that there is something important to negotiate with him."

Li Hong thought about it, but still felt that he couldn't sit back and watch Li Xian fall to Li Xian's side, and planned to make another effort to see if he could make some changes, so he gritted his teeth and issued a summoning order.

"Ah, yes, the slave obeys."

Wang Dequan came back from the Zhou Wangfu just now, and when he heard that he was going to go again, he was a little dumbfounded, and his heart was full of questions, but when he saw that Li Hong's face was wrong, he didn't dare to ask questions, so he hurriedly bowed down and answered the promise, hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, and rushed to the Zhou Wangfu without mentioning it.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother, I hope that Ermo will live up to Lone's hard work, otherwise, ......"

After Wang Dequan left, Li Hongmu stood stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, muttered to himself in a low voice, and sat back again......

"Ah, ah, ah......"

There may really be such a thing as telepathy in this world, no, this Li Hong is gritting his teeth, and Li Xian, who has just finished washing, stepped out of the bathroom door with one foot, and coldly sneezed one after another, which made the maids waiting on the side hurry, complaining, shouting, and asking for warmth......
