Princess Dongyang is only sixteen years old, in her short life, she doesn't have much to worry about, and the most unrelieved thing before her death is probably only the majestic father.
His father is almost perfect in front of outsiders, he is broad-minded, swallowing mountains and rivers, he can shed tears for a poor beggar on the side of the road, reflect on his mistakes, or give an order to let tens of millions of soldiers open up territory for him, break the country and slaughter the city.
However, he is the most incompetent father in the world, and he gives Dongyang too little care, so little that the father in her memory is even blurred.
At the juncture of being in a desperate situation, Dongyang couldn't help but worry about the regrettable thing in his life after all, and it was also a hateful thing.
Li Su still did not give up looking in the dilapidated Taoist temple, looking for the vitality that belonged to the two of them. He wanted to find something that he could use, a broken tile, a pointed stick, anything, as long as he could cut the rope tied to his hand, and life would be in his own hands.
Very disappointed, there was nothing, Li Su continued to search, and all kinds of escape thoughts were spinning in his mind.
Princess Dongyang on the side was still immersed in her own sadness, and she was still sobbing: "My mother's body has been very weak since I gave birth to me, until I was six years old, and my mother finally couldn't survive." She died in the middle of the night, when I was still very young, I don't know what is called separation, but very strange, why I haven't seen my mother for several days, two days later, my father only knew the news of my mother's death, that morning he was wearing a gorgeous dress, accompanied by his life's favorite Empress Wende, they stood in the courtyard for a while, my father's face was very calm, I couldn't see the slightest sadness, Empress Wende sighed, comforted my father a few words, and then personally arranged the mother's funeral, and I, by Empress Wende, arranged to live in Shujing Palace, Reading and reading with the princes and princesses in the Chongwen Hall......"
"I have rarely been alone with my father, he is always busy, even when he is not busy, his eyes are only on the crown prince, the king of Wei, the king of Jin, I don't even know if he has looked at me in the past ten years...... He should not be a bad person, he has read all the annals, he never knew that the king could be so affectionate to the queen, in his eyes, the children he had with the queen are his own children, and he does not hesitate to give them endless fatherly love,...... However, since he is so affectionate to the queen, why should he spoil other concubines? Why did you give birth to me? ”
Li Su quietly listened to her venting to herself, and seemed to know more about the brilliant emperor of the ages.
Behind the majesty, it turns out that he is not so successful, and his failures are as conspicuous as his life's achievements.
Dongyang has no desire to survive, and at this moment she is whispering, as if summing up half of her life.
Li Su was also desperate, there was nothing around him that could be used, so he had to turn his head to look at Dongyang, staring for a long time, Li Su's gray eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
"Don't call me Your Highness Princess, I don't like to hear it, you...... Let's call me a little palace maid. ”
"Okay, little palace maid, what you said has no effect on our current situation, instead of remembering, it is better to do your best to live, live to see your father and emperor, whether it is angry or sad for him, you should tell him personally, you can even pinch his neck and shake it vigorously, searching for people who are nearby at the same time......"
"Huh?" Dongyang's sadness was once again broken by Li Su: "What is a 'person who is online at the same time'? ”
"Don't care about these details, tell me, why did you wear two hairpins today?" Li Su stared at her with sparkling eyes.
Dongyang turned his head, Li Su couldn't see the expression on her face, only heard her low voice.
"I ...... What does it matter to you how many hairpins I wear? You're ...... Scum, where is the asymmetry and untidy? ”
Li Su licked his dry lips: "It's very neat, continue to keep it in the future, now, I'm going to borrow your hairpin." ”
God mercy, fortunately, these two kidnappers are not too careful, and fortunately, it is a princess who is kidnapped, and the princess is not bad for money and can afford to wear hairpins......
Li Su's heartbeat accelerated again, and the vitality was probably right in front of him, on the princess's two hairpins.
The hairpin is a very ordinary iron hairpin, since I met Li Su, Dongyang's dress has become very simple, from clothing to accessories are just the dress of the middle class, not shabby, not luxurious.
The hairpin was inserted on the cloud hair pulled up by Dongyang on the left and right, the two of them were back to back, their hands were tied, and the process of taking the hairpin was extremely difficult.
"Head, your head back, back again...... Hard, well, a little further to the left, okay, stay still, I'll try to bite it off with my mouth......" Li Su commanded Dongyang while trying to twist his head back, holding back his face flushed.
After several attempts, Li Su still did not succeed, after all, his neck was not gifted and could be twisted 180 degrees.
Tired, gasping heavily, Li Su took a break and sighed: "I must live well today, otherwise I will be found dead here in the future, my epitaph is probably written by Guo Fuzi of the village school, I can even guess how he will write ......"
Dongyang was also a little tired, leaning on Li Su's body softly, and said listlessly: "What will he write?" ”
Li Su said solemnly: "'This son is handsome, talented, peerless in poetry and writing, in fact, he has a lot of quirks, he likes to turn his head for fun, he is jealous of talent, and one day he was finally twisted to death by himself, wooing and mourning, the soul returned, and he was still ......'"
Li Su showed an unprecedented stern expression, and said fiercely: "So I must live, and I must not give others a chance to talk nonsense on my epitaph!" ”
"Poof...... Hahahaha. ”
Dongyang was amused to lean forward and close, his weak back suddenly leaned back to the greatest extent, Li Su's eyes were fast, he turned his head and took it in his mouth, and a hairpin finally came into his mouth.
Carefully turning his head and spitting the hairpin to the ground below his shoulders, luckily, it happened to fall on the side of the hands that were tied behind his back, Li Su moved his hands with difficulty, inch by inch, and finally pinched the life-saving hairpin in the palm of his hand.
With a long exhale, beads of sweat on Li Su's forehead also trickled down.
When the hairpin arrived, Princess Dongyang finally had the consciousness of survival, and her pretty face was flushed with excitement.
"What to do? Now what? Princess Dongyang asked eagerly.
"Now keep quiet, wait for me to break the rope, of course, you can also continue to count your father, you can say anything against the law, I swear to keep it secret, if you don't want to talk, you might as well settle the account yourself, if I can save your life this time, how much money should you give me."
