Chapter 175: Choice
"If that girl becomes the crown princess, she will not live to be twenty years old. ”
Why did she become the crown princess and not live to be twenty years old?
Why?
Su Zhe's heart seemed to be choked by something, he couldn't breathe, and his chest was very dull.
How cruel it is to let him suddenly stop liking Mo Er when he was finally attracted to Mo'er and finally liked her.
It's just that he can still be patient, and as a prince since he was a child, his reason is still there. He knew that if he wanted Han Xiangmo to live well, he couldn't be with her, and she couldn't become the crown princess.
He didn't want her to die, but he didn't want her to suffer because of himself.
Su Zhe smiled bitterly, this choice made him so powerless.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been decisive in his decision-making and never indecisive. It was probably the hardest choice he had ever made in his life.
After Su Zhe returned to the East Palace, he was very weak and tired, as if he had been drained of all his strength.
He sat alone on the bed until dawn......
......
Su Li sent people to Xuanbao Pavilion early this morning to ask them to pay attention to Su Hongxi, the prince of Huainan, and Su Yechuan, the prince of Huaibei.
Because, after thinking and meditating for a long time last night, she finally remembered who the familiar person she saw in the inn yesterday was.
That person was one of the subordinates beside Huainan Hou Su'an, who Su Li had seen during the Six Kingdoms Rebellion in his previous life.
It's just that this person is a subordinate of the Marquis of Huainan, so he should naturally stay in Huainan, but why did he run thousands of miles to the Imperial City of Luoyang. also secretly met with Hou Shizi of Huainan and Hou Shizi of Huaibei in Tianxiangju, and his whereabouts were sneaky, which really made it difficult for her not to think about it.
She wanted to see what these two were planning behind their backs.
Of course, she actually just happened to remember that person yesterday. In fact, most of the time, she was still thinking about Su Yu and what Su Yu said.
Although she still couldn't understand why Dingbei Marquis Suhuai wanted to kill herself, the knot in her heart was indeed untied.
At this moment, there is sweetness and timidity in her heart, and she has finally become the person in Su Yu's heart, although she was when she was Li Yue.
What is timid is that he does not dare to confess to Su Yu, for fear that he will be angry, angry that he will deceive him, and afraid that he will change because of this.
In fact, Su Li was purely overthinking, and at this moment, Su Yu was planning how to expose Su Li's identity and when to expose it.
According to his understanding of this little girl, she is afraid that nine times out of ten, she will go to the tip of the horns again. Even if you really let go of yourself, you may be able to get into another bull's horn. Therefore, when she confessed by herself, it was basically no fun, and he still felt that it was better to rely on herself.
So, Su Yu planned to go to Jinling City this time and go to the Xuanji Pavilion in person.
Although it was just a show, the road still had to be paved, and Su Yu already had a plan in his heart. However, he still has to be on guard against Li'er's safety.
Although he knew that Su Zhe would protect Li Er, he would still let his subordinates protect Li Er in secret.
These still have to say hello to Su Zhe, Su Yu thought about it, and went to the East Palace.
As a result, when he entered the East Palace, Su Yu felt that the atmosphere in the East Palace today didn't seem to be right, and it seemed to be unusually dull.
As soon as Su Yu walked to the door of Su Zhe's study, he saw Prime Minister Han Qian coming out of it, his face was quite sad and helpless.
Su Yu was a little stunned, he really hadn't seen this expression from Han Qian's face. This old man has always been that kind of serious and confident, and I have never seen this helpless expression.
He went up to say hello and said, "Prime Minister Han, what's wrong, why is your face full of sadness?"
"Dingbei Hou Shizi, it's nothing, it's just that there are some things to find His Royal Highness the Prince. Now that the matter is over, it is time for the minister to go back. ”
After he finished speaking, he left, as if he didn't want to stay in this East Palace for long.
Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable, at this time, Wen Hao beside Su Zhe also came out, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking.
Su Yu was a little puzzled, what happened to the East Palace today, it was not normal at all.
Wen Hao saw Su Yu and saluted him.
Su Yu waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with this East Palace today, why do you feel that this atmosphere is a little dull?"
Wen Hao sighed and said, "Son, you don't know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back from the palace last night, and this person is not quite right. Today, the Prime Minister of Han came over and said a few words to His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more wrong, and he was not in a very good mood. ”
Su Yu was a little strange and said, "Do you know what happened?"
"It seems to have something to do with Miss Han, but Wen Hao doesn't know how it is. ”
Su Yu thought that Su Zhe usually didn't have anything to do to affect his mood, let alone such a big impact. Come to think of it, except for Han Xiangmo, there is indeed no one who can influence Su Zhe.
So, Su Yu also went into the study.
This entry frightened Su Yu even more, and Su Zhe sat in front of the bookcase with a gloomy face.
He had never seen such a Su Zhe, and Su Yu also smiled.
He said, "What happened?"
Su Zhe seemed to notice Su Yu's arrival and moved slightly, but did not speak.
Su Yu said again: "Is it related to Han Xiangmo?"
Su Zhe's expression wavered slightly, but he still didn't speak.
Su Yu sighed and said, "You look like this, but you are the same as the state I was in after having that dream when I was ten years old, and you are also so gloomy. ”
"You don't get along well with Han Xiangmo, could it be that Han Xiang still refuses to let her marry you?" Su Yu guessed.
"In your dreams......" Su Zhe finally spoke, his voice was a little hoarse, he paused, and said, "Who is my crown princess?"
Su Yu's expression changed, and after a long time, he said, "It's He Yilan." ”
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, "Then do I like He Yilan?"
"Probably not, the way you get along with He Yilan is different from Han Xiangmo, you are too respectful, like a stranger. ”
Su Zhe said again: "What about Han Xiangmo, who did she marry?"
"She didn't seem to be married to anyone until I died. ”
Su Zhe smiled faintly, "Then how old did I die?"
"Exactly when I was nineteen. ”
Su Zhe smiled bitterly, "In your dream, don't I have anything to do with her?"
Su Yu sighed, knowing who he was talking about "she", and said, "You haven't met her, she has always said that she is sick and has not left the Prime Minister's Mansion, so you naturally have no intersection." ”
Su Zhe was silent again, as if he was deep in thought.
Su Yu didn't speak, and stood quietly in the room, waiting for Su Zhe to speak again.
He knew that Su Zhe must have encountered something to make him so depressed. Since he would ask him about some things in his previous life, then this matter must be related to Han Xiangmo, and there must be something that Su Yu didn't know about happened.
There was silence in the room for about half a quarter of an hour, and then Su Zhe spoke again, and he asked Su Yu, "Su Yu, do you believe in your fate?"
Su Yu didn't seem to expect him to ask such a question, and after a short silence, Su Yu said, "I believe it, but I don't believe it either." I believe it because some things are really predestined, and they will be completely different from your imagination, or even completely opposite. I don't believe because if something happens, you can still change it on your own. ”
In his previous life, Su Yu didn't want Su Li to die, he thought she was the safest in prison. But who knows, Lin Qingyun actually did it. He obviously had arranged everything, and he was ready to let her go, but the day before he was ready, Lin Qingyun made a move. How did he not believe that this was meant to be?
But in fact, she is obviously capable and capable of letting her leave safely. He obviously has a chance, so many times, he can confess to Li Er that he likes her.
Except for the later rebirth, he did everything he could to bring Su Li back from the dead. Thankfully, he succeeded in the end, and at least he could start all over again.
Su Zhe was a little moved, but he was also helpless.
He said: "The queen mother and Han Xiang both told me that she is my destined crown princess, but if she becomes my crown princess, she will die because of me." You say, should I believe or should I not?"
Su Zhe got up and staggered towards Su Yu a little.
"If I believe, she will live a safe life, but she will suffer because of me, and if I don't believe, then when she really dies for me, then I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. If she believes, she will only suffer for a while, but she will live a safe life, but if she does not believe, she may die because of me and make me regret it for the rest of my life. ”
Su Zhe smiled bitterly, "Heh, it's obviously a very good choice to make, isn't it? There are all the pros and cons, but for the first time in my life, I don't know what choice to make." Hahaha...... Su Yu, if it were you, how would you choose?"
Su Yu was silent for a long time and sighed, some things he didn't understand in his previous life, but he understood a lot in an instant.
Why did Prime Minister Han Qian always call Han Xiangmo "sick in bed for a long time, and it is inconvenient to see guests", and why Prime Minister Han Qian was loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty all his life and swore to be loyal to himself.
Come to think of it, maybe it is out of guilt for the Southern Tang royal family, of course, because he is a loyal and patriotic man in his bones.
Su Yu smiled slightly, and said truthfully: "I'm not you, so naturally my decision will be different from you." She will die for you if she is your crown princess, presumably in a court struggle, or some kind of princely rebellion. Then, if you were just an ordinary person, she probably wouldn't have died. ”
"If it were me, I would inevitably give up my family and country, just to promise her a lifetime. Because I have experienced everything in my dreams, how can I give up on her for the sake of the world?"
"But you are different, you are shouldering the burden of your family and country, how can you say that you can give up if you give up? Therefore, you and I are different after all. You can't give up Nantang Jiangshan for her, but you can't bear to let her really die because of you. ”
Su Yu's analysis hit the nail on the head, but it also clearly stated the difference between the two of them.
In fact, Su Zhe had made a decision in his heart as early as the beginning, but he had never been willing to really make that decision.
