Chapter 537: Courage and Responsibility
As soon as Xu Mingzhu spoke, Dongyang sat up straight suddenly.
"King Qi? Li You, the king of Qi? ”
Xu Mingzhu nodded and sighed: "It's him." ”
Dongyang was stunned and said: "This doesn't make sense, the king of Qi robbed the Li family's printing technology too much, not to mention robbing things, and also sent assassins to the door to assassinate, even the most heinous people in the world can't do such a heart-wrenching thing." ”
Xu Mingzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is an inside story, I didn't know it originally, but my husband only understood it after explaining......
Saying that, Xu Mingzhu announced that King Qi was beaten by Li Shimin into the palace, and when King Qi left the palace in panic, he happened to meet the prince and told the inside story.
After finishing speaking, Dongyang was stunned for a long time, and sighed faintly: "With the heart and reputation of King Qi, this thing really looks like he did it, Li Xianhou is afraid that he will be hated by him, King Qi is said to be vicious, often bullying and kindness, if anything does not call his heart, it is easy to kill, Uncle Li was stabbed this time, most of it is his handwriting." ”
Xu Mingzhu lowered her eyelids and sighed silently.
Dongyang turned his face to look at her and said, "What is Li Xianhou going to do next?" ”
Xu Mingzhu sighed: "The husband said...... This revenge is not avenged, and there is no face to see the family. ”
Dongyang's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "He wants revenge?" Can...... That's King Qi! ”
"The husband said that the king of heaven Lao Tzu moved the family, and he also wants to take revenge, it seems that his mind has been decided."
Dongyang exclaimed: "He...... How do you want to get revenge? Wouldn't it be a big disaster to move the King of Qi? ”
Xu Mingzhu said with a sad face: "Yes, it is true that he has caused a big disaster, but he said...... The eldest husband was born in the world and did something, and if he didn't repay the revenge of his father, he would not only be sorry for the father who gave birth to him. In the future, if you die, you will have no face to be worshiped by the descendants of the Li family......"
Dongyang was silent for a long time, stared at her and said, "You are his main wife, what do you think?" ”
Xu Mingzhu lowered his head and said faintly: "On the one hand, there is the revenge of the family being assassinated, and on the other hand, the husband is about to cause a big disaster, and the two are in a dilemma." Left and right, Your Royal Highness Princess, I know that you are not an outsider, you and my husband ...... back then"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Mingzhu had already stopped, and Dongyang's face suddenly flew red.
"When things come to such a situation, I am at a loss, and I ask disrespectful words, if Your Highness is not a princess. It's Mrs. Li again, what should you do? ”
Dongyang was stunned for a long time, sighed, and said: "If I were you, I wouldn't know what to do, I didn't say this to be perfunctory to you, I have been a person with no ideas since I was a child." When he was young, he lived in the deep palace with his mother, and the province sent grain, rice and silver money every month. What is given to our mother and daughter will receive something, never care, because of the lack of favor, in fact, can not care, when I grow up, my father named the princess, I can finally escape from the palace cage. Afterward...... I met him, and later, when I was accused by my father, I had no idea, and I only thought about death at that time. It was also he who helped me escape from this catastrophe, to be a monk who does not care about the world, to put it simply, although I am a princess, I have survived this life, I can't have the slightest freedom, and I can't make an idea for myself, like duckweed, where the water flows, I will float there, I can't ......help myself."
In the end, Dongyang's eyes turned red, and he couldn't talk anymore.
Xu Mingzhu showed a distressed look in her eyes, and involuntarily stepped forward to hold Dongyang's hand, her hand was white and slender, cold as snow.
Dongyang took a deep breath and said with a forced smile: "In comparison, you are much stronger than me, when you held the guards hostage at Yumen Pass, forced the transfer of troops to aid Xizhou, and led reinforcements to arrive when Xizhou was finally about to break the city, not only saved the city, but also saved his life, your feat is still being preached even by the palace maids in the palace, so, on the wife of the Li family, you are more suitable than me, to be honest, if I encountered that kind of desperate situation at that time, I really can't do as well as you, if my husband is in a desperate situation, all I can do is collect the body for my husband." and then kill himself at his grave, and that's all. ”
Xu Mingzhu said with a wry smile: "If you are husband and wife, you will have the same fate for a lifetime, without him, there will be no me, the situation is forced to that situation, anyone will make the same choice as me, and will give birth to the same courage as me, before this I was also a woman with no idea, raised in the boudoir since childhood, timid and afraid, only promised, but when the husband fell into a desperate situation, courage and responsibility suddenly came out at that moment, at that time I only felt that the husband could not carry the things, I had to help him carry it, and Her Royal Highness the princess was the same, I believe that when he is in a desperate situation, you will not stand idly by, you think you have no idea, just because you have not reached such a desperate situation. ”
Dongyang lowered his head and was silent, Xu Mingzhu didn't mention what was the matter with today's visit, the second daughter fell into silence like this, only the charcoal fire in the hall occasionally crackled, causing ripples in the room, and then returned to calm.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Mingzhu suddenly smiled and said, "Today, the woman came to recognize the door, and she said goodbye." ”
Dongyang got up and said with a smile: "Since we are close neighbors, we come and go more when we have nothing to do, if the Marquis of Li County is busy with official business, it is good for the two of us to be companions when you are bored." ”
Xu Mingzhu agreed with a smile, and then said goodbye.
Dongyang kept sending her out of the door until her back was no longer visible, then he turned around and returned to the temple.
The green willow suddenly flashed out from the screen of the apse, looked at the empty courtyard, and then looked at Dongyang.
"Your Highness...... This Mrs. Li, what is she coming to the door for today? The maid only heard your aimless chatter, but didn't mention a serious matter, is she really just here to recognize the door? ”
Dongyang glared at her and said angrily: "There are no rules again, who told you to eavesdrop?" ”
Lu Liu grinned, raised her face and clenched her little fists with a righteous face: "She is the wife of the Li family, and the maid is worried that she will not be good, so she listens to the movement behind the screen and protects Her Highness at any time." ”
Dongyang sneered: "What 'the comer is not good', this can't be said to the outside world, teaching people to laugh ......"
Green Willow blinked and said, "Your Highness hasn't said what she's doing today." ”
The smile on Dongyang's face gradually rose, and he sighed and said, "You didn't understand, but I did, she ...... It's not easy, it's a family feud on one side, and a husband's life on the other, both left and right, it's really hard for her......"
Green Willow blinked blankly, looking at her in confusion.
Dongyang didn't speak anymore, just stared at the dark red flame in the charcoal furnace in the hall in a daze, I don't know how long it took, Dongyang's expression gradually changed, as if he had made up a certain determination, and his pretty face was full of determination and determination.
"Green Willow, find a few reliable guards, enter Chang'an City to inquire about King Qi's recent behavior, and report to me as soon as you inquire clearly."
Green Willow was stunned for a moment, and said in shock: "Your Highness, you ...... What do you want? ”
Dongyang's cheeks flushed with excitement, and his slender hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to suppress his excitement, and said slowly: "Since I was a child, I have always been a person who has no ideas, this time, I want to take an idea and do what I want to do!" ”
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!" Green Willow was in a hurry.
Dongyang smiled lightly and said: "Back then, she was able to hold the guards hostage for him and travel thousands of miles to help, and now, it's my turn to do something for him, what she can do, why can't I?" How can I be inferior to her? How could it be inferior to her! (To be continued.) )
