Chapter 13: Anger

"If my grandmother was where my mother is now, she would do it." Xue Chongxun suddenly threw out such a sentence, and then kept silent. This sentence should be more effective than giving a hundred reasons.

Sure enough, Princess Taiping showed a complicated look on her face, and her feelings for Wu Zetian can be said to be quite complicated, with love, worship, and resentment...... Wait, maybe when Wu Zetian killed her husband, she hated, wronged, and helpless, but how could she completely hate her mother because of this? How much Wu Zetian loved her in her early years! She not only relied on Wu Zetian's love, but also worshiped her so much. Xue Chongxun understood his mother's admiration for his grandmother that he said such a sentence.

And Xue Chongxun has no feelings for his grandmother Wu Zetian, nor does he have much hatred; What if she is her father's killer? Xue Chongxun didn't even hate his grandmother, because he knew that when Wu Zetian killed his father, it was just a political need. Thinking about it, my grandmother is the one who is really unscrupulous for power and can sacrifice a qiē for power...... Xue Chongxun reflected on himself, I'm afraid he can't do it either, he may lose his conscience by any means at some point, but the premise is to survive.

He doesn't want to die, he can do a lot to live, but if it's just for a higher power, it's actually not worth it.

It's still raining. Princess Taiping's love has also become like this rain, damp and entangled, and the chopping is constant. She even recalled those thoughts of her girlhood, those sweet pasts, those romantic encounters, the handsome and dashing man who spoke nobly and elegantly, like a spring rabbit recklessly broke into her heart......

"Ka!" There was another thunderclap, and Princess Taiping, who was in deep thought, was not paying attention, startled, and even exhaled. She looked up at the sky, and remembered that when her mother wanted to kill her husband Xue Shao, she also looked up at the sky like this and wanted the heavens to give an answer...... She cried like a knife and pleaded bitterly, what is the use? Her mother, who had always been obedient to her, became cold and ruthless, ignoring her feelings at all, and killing decisively.

She understands the benefits of power, and with power, you can do whatever you want; Without power, there will be a lot of helpless sadness...... But with power, will there still be the same sincere sadness that once was?

"Mother, are you alright?" Xue Chongxun's words of concern interrupted Princess Taiping's thoughts, she glanced at Xue Chongxun and shook her head gently.

"I see that my mother's face is not very good, and when it rains, the weather that has begun to warm up will rebound again, and my mother will rest."

Princess Taiping looked at Xue Chongxun's face and suddenly said, "Your face really looks a little similar to your father...... It's just a little darker, and now you're still practicing martial arts? ”

The two suddenly talked about irrelevant matters, and Xue Chongxun had no choice but to follow his mother's words and replied: "Yes, I saw that the book said that the ancient scholars knew at least six arts, and since I am a scholar, I naturally want to learn from the sages." ”

Princess Taiping nodded approvingly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have something I want to ask you, and you have to answer truthfully." ”

"Yes." Xue Chongxun said.

Princess Taiping said: "The day before yesterday, your subordinates killed Feng Yuanjun, and it was rumored outside that it was because of fighting for women, but I don't think it's like it, you killed people to make me believe in you?" ”

's mother is really a strong woman, and she saw through the mystery at once. Xue Chongxun didn't want to lie in front of his mother, so he said honestly: "Yes." Feng Yuanjun is Gao Lishi's only relative, and if I kill him, I can convince my mother that it is impossible for me to be inclined to the crown prince, and then I will make a statement to my mother today to prove the sincerity of my advice. The only way out is to kill the crown prince, I told my mother after careful consideration. ”

"To put it lightly, it's not so easy to let Li Longji die." Princess Taiping did not veto Xue Chongxun, nor did she agree, she should need time to think about such a thing. She said again: "But looking at your appearance this time, you are simply decisive, but you have grown a little." ”

This should be a compliment, a compliment to the son for doing bad things and committing murders.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun was not happy, but sighed and said: "Erlang is becoming more and more alienated from his mother, do you know why?" ”

Princess Taiping frowned: "What do you mention to this son of a who eats inside and out?" ”

Xue Chongxun said movingly: "When I was a child, my mother didn't care much about our brothers and sisters, but she was very good to Li Sanlang. My sister and I are used to it, but Jiro has never tasted it in his heart...... Mother, although we have royal blood, we still want the warmth of our loved ones......"

Princess Taiping didn't expect her son to speak like this, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she looked at Xue Chongxun in a daze and said: "I have always had a good relationship with your uncle (the current emperor Li Dan), and I care about his son just because I take care of my brother and sister, isn't this family affection?" ”

Princess Taiping was quite majestic in front of others, and she didn't expect her two sons to dare to challenge her majesty, and they both spoke in such a complaining tone. Xue Erlang was like this last time, this time Xue Chongxun is still like this, Xue Chongxun is not afraid of his mother being angry, he looks a little out of control, and his voice is louder: "I want to kill someone in order to say something to you and make you believe in my sincerity!" Why? Mom thinks I really like to do something like that? Why don't even my family believe me? ”

……

Just as Xue Erlang deliberately provoked his mother, it was probably out of self-preservation; Xue Chongxun used such a tone to talk to his mother again, which made her unhappy, which was also premeditated. He thought ahead: if Princess Taiping really won in the future, then several of Xue Chongxun's brothers, and even the heirs of the Li family, would compete for the right to inherit. Xue Chongxun first played an emotional card to pave the way here, which will be very advantageous in the future...... It seems that Li Dan is very good at playing emotional cards today.

Of course, if the Taiping Party fails, everyone will have to die, and today's play will naturally be meaningless. It doesn't hurt anyway.

At this time, of course, Princess Taiping could not be happy, but Xue Chongxun told her heartfelt feelings, she should understand that her son has her mother in his heart.

Originally, Xue Chongxun had such a thought, but when he said that he also longed for family affection, his heart was really sour. Whether it's true or not, he can't figure it out himself.

Xue Chongxun yelled at his mother with some annoyance: "You don't like Li Sanlang's kid very much, how are you now?" People don't want to be happy if they put you to death! In the end, the one who has the same heart with you is not Li Sanlang, but his own son! ”

"You ......," Princess Taiping looked angry, "how dare you talk to me in such a tone?" ”

Xue Chongxun said stubbornly: "I was born to you, I feel uncomfortable, why do you want to hide it?" If you think you gave birth to me wrong, order me to be executed now, just as my grandmother did when my father was executed. We father and son walk the same way, and I have nothing to be nostalgic for! ”

Princess Taiping's love was completely aroused by Xue Chongxun, she was very angry, but with a little other love, she scolded angrily: "You unfilial son, get out of me!" Roll as far as you want, don't let me see you, get out! Don't roll out yet! ”

Xue Chongxun turned around and left, without even saying goodbye. The mother and son broke up so unhappily.

The dinner that I had promised at first was not finished.

When he walked out of the Taiping Princess Mansion in Zhenguo, Xue Chongxun not only did not have a sad spring and autumn feeling, but was very happy, that kind of real happiness, and it felt great. I quarreled with my mother, I feel very good, I don't have to be as respectful and polite as before, the mother-son relationship in the past is really cold and uncomfortable. Xue Chongxun suddenly found that he also needed family affection and warmth......

If there is no family affection, no love, no friends to trust, life is really boring, and he tragically found that he has lived like that for so many years.

A boring life. If he survived this time, he would never want to live like this again.

At this time, Mafu Pang Er knocked on the carriage and asked, "Lang Jun, are you going back home?" ”

A cold home, where there are no people you look forward to, and there are no people who are waiting for you...... Xue Chongxun thought about it boringly, and said casually: "Go to Daqin Temple, the little lady I met today said that there is a confession hall inside, I want to go and see if there is a real one." ”

"Okay, Daqin Temple."

Daqin Temple is not far from the Princess's Mansion, and it will not take long to arrive. The rain in the sky has not stopped, and the spring rain seems to be like this, it doesn't rain much, but it doesn't stop all at once.

After Xue Chongxun got off the carriage, he was suddenly slightly surprised, because he found that the woman he met in the afternoon who was hiding from the rain was still here.

The woman also recognized Xue Chongxun, and said with some surprise: "You...... Why are you here again? ”

The two were talking almost at the same time, and at this time Xue Chongxun was also saying, "Don't you have an umbrella and have already left?" ”

The woman immediately giggled, and the smile was beautiful and innocent. Sure enough, it was once born and twice cooked, and now when she saw Xue Chongxun, it was as if she had met an acquaintance, but in fact she didn't even know the name.

She looked down at the umbrella in her hand, which was still the one given to her by Xue Chongxun, and said apologetically: "I really didn't expect to meet you again...... The rain hasn't stopped. ”

Xue Chongxun is in a good mood now, and he finds that the bits and pieces of life can be so interesting, much more interesting than the life-and-death battles in the temple. He smiled: "It's not a big deal, you don't have to pay it back, I still came in a carriage." ”

The woman's voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler: "Next time I go out, I must bring two, lest you have no umbrella again." ”

"Not necessarily." Xue Chongxun replied honestly, but unexpectedly, the woman's laughter was immediately aroused, her hands were on her stomach, what could be so funny?

Xue Chongxun looked at her puzzled. I saw that this woman had a round face, big eyes, a small nose and mouth, not like Yuwenji's sexy thick lips, she didn't have Yuwenji's charming, and her facial lines were relatively weak, a little baby-faced, but she looked more pure.
