Chapter 137: Who is melancholy
Li Moxiao raised his eyes and looked over, only to see Zhao Zijin protecting Su Liruo with an anxious face, and said angrily: "If my sister recovers from a serious illness, she will inevitably be weak and powerless. And because of this, I want Your Majesty to be magnanimous and not to care! ”
Li Moxiao was stunned, looking at Zhao Zijin in a daze, in his impression, she was eccentric, dexterous, lively and playful, sometimes pampered and arrogant, but never unreasonable. She was always shy and docile to him, affectionate, and of course, he always understood her affection. If he hadn't met Su Liruo, perhaps, he would have fulfilled his promise to marry her.
At this time, Zhao Zijin, who was cold-eyed and angry, stunned him, and a sense of frustration that he had never felt before permeated the depths of his heart: Why did they all change so strangely overnight? Could it be that when he ascended the throne as emperor, everything in the past no longer exists?
When Su Xiru, who came later, saw this scene, he couldn't help but pause in surprise and took a deep breath of cold air. Zhao Zijin's admiration for Li Moxiao caused her to be submissive in front of him and did not dare to make a mistake. What's going on today? Why is she so abnormal? Dare to disobey Li Moxiao?
Li Moxiao looked at Zhao Zijin with a calm and deep gaze, for a long time, without saying a word, with a cold face. Eventually turned away. When he came to Su Xiru's side, he glanced at her, and his meaningful gaze contained a fierce warning.
Su Xiru raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth flashed with a fleeting sneer.
After Li Moxiao left, Zhao Zijin Fang relaxed his stiff body, and after a while, he muttered: "I don't have to be extremely humble in front of him anymore!"
Su Liruo held her hand that trembled slightly, she knew that the insinuating words she had just made to Li Moxiao had actually drained all her strength, and the secret love she had admired for more than ten years collapsed in an instant.
Su Liruo sighed in her heart, her eyes full of apology and pity stared at her gently, loving and being loved, after all, there was no winning or losing. Only those who really pay can experience the taste of struggling, missing bones, and being sad and tired.
Zhao Zijin reluctantly smiled faintly at Su Liruo, a tear fell, she stubbornly raised her hand to wipe it away, but the more she wiped it, the more tears flowed out of her eyes, which seemed to indicate that this period of love was completely over.
Su Li didn't say anything, let her vent the bitterness and sorrow in her heart.
Su Liruo looked up at the hot sun in midsummer, her eyes hurt, she lowered her eyes, slowly closed her eyes, and the guilt in her heart seemed to be lessened.
The corners of her mouth raised bitterly, and she sighed sadly, she had been trying her best to match, just hoping to touch the true feelings in Li Moxiao's heart, but she didn't admit that Zhao Zijin had already been injured. It turns out that her self-righteousness is not only self-defeating, but also makes things worse.
Just like Li Zhenchen's battle of the Huns, she only found out that she was wrong after she was clever and provoked the incident, even without her scheme, the Da Sun royal family would not tolerate his ambitions, and his life experience was the deadliest weapon to strangle him. And her extra move hurt the heart of the iron-clad man, and she also became a lever for being used.
In fact, she is just uncomfortable these days, and she can't get over that hurdle, she has always been disgusted with Li Zhenchen's insidious and cunning, unscrupulous means. But in the end, she admired his heroic spirit, even if he lost the throne and his life was not allowed by the royal family, he still made a decisive decision. resolutely left everything behind, and the worldly prosperity has been withered for a long time. His pride made Su Liruo admire and feel guilty.
And she tried her best to help plan and plan, but the people she trusted from beginning to end used her as bait to lure Li Zhenchen into the plan, tracking the guild hall, and wanting to annihilate his old henchmen in one fell swoop. It's ridiculous that when she heard that Empress Xian was taken hostage, she was so anxious that Li Zhenchen would not be good for her, so she did not hesitate to risk her life.
When she came to the hall, she earnestly admonished and persuaded Li Zhenchen not to shed innocent blood. Unexpectedly, Li Zhenchen, who she thought was ruthless, actually listened to her advice and was willing to give up the whole plan! The only condition was to take her away, and in order to stabilize Li Zhenchen, she simply agreed. But what she didn't know was that Li Zhenchen had already seen through it, but he didn't demolish her, maybe he still hoped that she would change her mind. But he miscalculated, because he mistakenly loved a woman whose heart already belonged, and he was doomed to fail, and he would never wait for her to respond.
And Li Moxiao, Su Liruo could see from his eyes with murderous intent that he would never let go of Li Zhenchen easily, and let the tiger return to the mountain stupid, Li Moxiao knew it. The reason why he hesitated was because he was afraid of Li Zhenchen's martial arts, and he was worried that his opponent would not be able to subdue him.
When the two duel, although Su Liruo didn't understand their martial arts routines, she still saw that with Li Zhenchen's skills, if she didn't show mercy to her subordinates, Li Moxiao would definitely be injured!
Fortunately, Empress Xian finally took care of the sisterhood with Lian Shu, after all, it was the blood of Emperor Zhen, and she couldn't bear it, and at the last moment, she stepped forward to prevent the tragedy of brothers killing each other.
But when Su Liruo saw that Li Moxiao had a little compassion for Li Zhenchen, the virtuous queen hurriedly stopped her, and her indifferent and calm look impressed Su Liruo and couldn't forget it. She thought that Empress Xian should have drawn up a plan a long time ago, so she invited Master Chen to come out.
Since that day, Zhao Zijin no longer disguised herself as a man to follow Li Moxiao, she moved back to Zhao's mansion to live, and sometimes came to the other garden to sit, but she didn't stay for long. It is said that she is now calming down and practicing the second step of the Kunlun Divine Flute: using the flute as a blade! Her first step in getting started: the flute sound is around the palm, and she has been perfected, which is to play the music score and change the three-trick palm style. These three palm moves have made her martial arts progress a lot, and the moves are fast, accurate, and changing rapidly.
And Su Xiru continued to stay by Li Moxiao's side, Su Liruo didn't know what she planned to do next? She didn't mention it, nor did she plan when she would leave. Su Li thought that she should be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to leave at the right time. It can not only calm the anger towards her in Su Liruo's heart, but also make Li Moxiao owe her a favor.
In the following days, for Su Liruo, it was as plain as water in the annex for a while. Li Moxiao hadn't appeared since that day, but Su Liruo knew that he was very busy and didn't have any free time to bother her.
However, Zhao Yue came to the garden twice, and between the conversations, his tone was full of apology and guilt. How could he not have imagined? Emperor Hua was actually resentful of Li Zhenchen because he personally came to the palace and gave a dowry, and used Su Liruo as bait to lure Li Zhenchen into being fooled.
Zhao Yue thought that Emperor Zhen specially summoned Su Liruo on his deathbed and begged her to stay and help Li Moxiao, but he kept silent and hid Li Zhenchen's identity from her. Su Li Ruoxu was guilty, Li Moxiao was criticized by the courtiers for her wanton abolition of concubines and concubines and pretending to be envoys, so she agreed to Emperor Zhen's entrustment.
Su Liruo apologized to Zhao Yue, smiled indifferently, and said softly: "Mr. doesn't need to blame himself, Liruo knows Mr. well, if he knows the inside story, he will definitely do everything possible to obstruct it." In the final analysis, you and I are all kept in the dark and just pawns in political battles! This matter has passed, Mr. does not have to be entangled in his heart, he must let go, and in the future, he can do his best to assist His Majesty in the way of benevolence! ”
Zhao Yue saw that although she said that the wind was light and gentle, he knew that Su Liruo was already disheartened by Li Moxiao, and the reason why she was sick and bedridden was probably due to disappointment. In the end, Li Zhenchen made a heroic decision, abandoned the prosperity of the world, stayed away from the struggle for power, and escaped into the empty door. Li Zhenchen realized that right and wrong were the most important, and finally avoided the killing of blood and corpses. This spirit made Zhao Yue also secretly admire, not to mention that Su Liruo and he would go through the dangerous and imminent danger together. In the hall, Li Zhenchen protects her everywhere, which shows that she would rather live in the daylight of the world and never forget the love of her children.
Soon, the edict of the government and the opposition of the day country announced that Li Zhenchen, the king of Luo, was grateful for the emperor's grace, showed his pure heart, and escaped into the empty gate to recite the soul for Emperor Zhen, and went to the realm of bliss as soon as possible. I also pray for the blessings of the people of Da Ri Li, and wish Zeyu the world and a prosperous Chang'an.
Su Liruo learned from Zhao Yue that Ping Xugong disposed of Li Zhenchen's industrial property and divided it into three shares, one into the treasury and one for disaster relief. And those brothers of life and death who followed Li Zhenchen to share the hardships received the last share, and Ping Xugong relayed Li Zhenchen's instructions, rudely and barbarously let them unload their armor and return to the field, and live in seclusion. With a flexible mind, you can set up a shop and start a small business, and you can also start a stable family.
After the edict, Emperor Zhen returned to his ancestors and entered the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor's funeral rites were numerous and grand, and it was held for three days and three nights.
Li Moxiao held the enthronement ceremony as scheduled, known as Emperor Hua, and lived in the Moon Hall for a long time. Empress Xian retired to Ruiyao Palace, and was already the queen mother, giving up Yuqiong Palace to prepare for Emperor Hua to live.
After the enthronement ceremony, all the ministers have played Emperor Hua, the harem is not vacant, and I hope that Emperor Hua will make a will as soon as possible, in order to reproduce the heirs of the day, in order to promote the royal bloodline.
When Emperor Hua was the crown prince, there were already two side concubines and multiple concubines, and later arbitrarily abolished the concubines, but the position of the princess has always been vacant. Now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, the harem is actually empty and few, and the ministers put on a stand of eating the king's Lu and bearing the king's worries, persuading them to have a dry mouth, and they are busy preparing more than a dozen ministers in the court, princes and nobles, and young and young women for Emperor Hua to choose from.
In the study, Emperor Hua glanced at it hurriedly, then threw away the post-election list irritably, and said angrily: "Damn! These old horsemen rely on some merits, and always rely on the old to sell the old. In the court, there is a set of pedantic fallacies, saying that if the harem is not enriched, it will be difficult for the royal family to prosper. Their hands are stretched too far! I don't even let go of my imperial study! ”
Gonggong Jiang hurriedly motioned to the little eunuch beside him to pick up the list on the ground, leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is angry, the old slave thinks that instead of letting them make trouble, why don't Your Majesty make up your mind as soon as possible, so as not to make them more arrogant!"
Emperor Hua looked at him for a moment, he didn't know the stakes of this, not long after he ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, and his people's hearts were not right. And these ministers are scheming and calculating, wanting to manipulate the harem, to consolidate the position of the court, and raise their eyebrows, so they are all rushing to be the first, and they are self-recommending their families. If they do not follow their wishes, there will be an undercurrent that will endanger the government. If their wishes are fulfilled, and the harem becomes a place of power struggle, won't there be a miasma at that time?
Emperor Hua frowned, leaned back on the seat, and sighed. Thinking that there have been a lot of boredoms caused by the post-election incident recently, he smiled bitterly, sure enough, the height is not cold, and he has not yet been involved in political affairs, he has been made anxious after the election, not to mention that there are neighboring countries around him, taking advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and ready to move.
Emperor Hua waved his hand, dismissed Jiang Gonggong and others, and sat alone in the imperial study. His deep gaze touched the list picked up by the little eunuch, but that beautiful face appeared in front of him, and he couldn't let go for a long time.
I haven't seen her for a while, and I think of her indifference and alienation a few days ago, I wonder if she is angry? Maybe she didn't want to let go of his strategy and drifted away from him, maybe she would understand his helplessness, if she didn't make a ruthless move, how could she solve it quickly? In fact, he also felt sad and deeply blamed himself, why did he lose his mind at that time, and only thought about how to subdue Li Zhenchen, wipe out his feather party, and get rid of future troubles forever! And ignore her feelings?
He knew that Li Zhenchen was arrogant and arrogant, and if he was punished with death, he would be happy, and if he was sentenced to death, exile in a slave camp was the best weapon to stimulate him, then he would definitely resist.
At that time, he learned that Li Zhenchen gave Su Liruo a dowry, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and Li Zhenchen wantonly challenged his dignity, which was unbearable.
When he learned that Li Zhenchen took advantage of the chaos to kidnap his mother, he was furious and thought of Su Liruo's situation. But he knew that this was the only weakness that had been hitting Li Zhenchen, and he endured the pain of worrying his heart and stretched a long line to catch a big fish.
Everything was as he wished, and the dust settled, however, she was getting farther and farther away from him, and could no longer be reached.
He could understand Zhao Zijin's disappointment in him, he never had the courage to apologize to her, these days, he was deeply in conflict. He hoped for Su Liruo's understanding, and wanted Zhao Zijin to accompany him as always, of course, he knew very well that this was impossible. He laughed bitterly at himself, he could never have them at the same time in this life, maybe just like that, he lost them at the same time.
Emperor Hua wandered alone, immersed in chaotic thoughts, unable to sort out the thousands of threads in his heart, this time is different from the past, at night, the empty and silent palace trapped his footsteps, daytime, the intrigue of the court hustle and bustle.
He lost his freedom, he lost the love he loved, and even his future most honorable queen, who held hands with him, became a victim of politics by weighing the pros and cons of power.
Emperor Hua was locked in the imperial study for a long time and did not move, and Gonggong Jiang did not dare to disturb, so he had to bow slightly and wander outside the door. A group of servants and maids and little eunuchs also tiptoed, they didn't dare to breathe, His Majesty didn't eat breakfast, it seemed that he didn't even need lunch, even Gonggong Jiang was helpless against this young and vigorous new emperor, who dared to step forward and remind him without fear of death?
Emperor Hua rarely slackened his hands and stole half a day of free time, but wasted it in contradictory intense thoughts. It wasn't until Gonggong Jiang knocked on the door to report that he was shocked to realize that he had been sitting for a few hours, hid his melancholy look, and said solemnly: "What's the matter?"
Gonggong Jiang leaned against the door and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is news from the front hall that the gentle messenger will arrive tomorrow!"
Emperor Hua rose from his seat with a sigh, his face changed greatly, since his father died suddenly, Li Zhenchen rebelled and surrendered. Later, Li Zhenchen took refuge in Buddhism, and he held a funeral for his father and entered the imperial mausoleum. Immediately afterwards, the enthronement ceremony was held, and after the ceremony, the ministers of the court and the vacancies in the harem were jointly played. Pile by pile, annoying him for a day, he actually forgot about Rouran and his relatives, and fell into such a big mistake.
Gonggong Jiang couldn't hear Emperor Hua's response, the imperial study was quiet, the streamer seemed to stop, and the air was frozen and could not be smoothed. Gonggong Jiang felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, looked up at the sky with a sad face, and secretly prayed: I hope that the former emperor Houze will bless His Majesty, and there will be no mess going wrong? Now that you are the ninth honorable, how can you toss with the original temperament? A little carelessness is related to the safety of the entire Great Daytime Guotai!
Gonggong Jiang begged, and shook his head helplessly, he had been waiting for Emperor Zhen for many years, how could he not know that Emperor Zhen was devoted to the queen of Yuguoni? Gonggong Jiang sighed tremblingly: It seems that His Majesty is so amorous but adheres to the infatuation of the previous emperor!
The next day, in the court.
The Rouran envoy was polite and polite, and the shape was elegant to pay homage to Emperor Hua, revealing that his identity was the personal guard commander of His Royal Highness the Prince of Rouran. In order to ensure the safety of the road and protect the crown princess, His Royal Highness the crown prince specially sent him to escort the crown princess with a team of skilled guards.
The commander changed his words, and although his tone was flat, he could not refuse: "The contemptible people convey His Royal Highness the Prince's congratulations to His Majesty, Your Majesty has first ascended the throne, and everything is busy, and it is inevitable to be negligent. It's just that the choice with relatives has been decided, but there is no picture scroll to submit, this time, I hope that His Majesty will be able to see the appearance of the crown princess, and send a letter back to His Royal Highness the prince. ”
There are no gaps in every sentence, and every word does not leak! It can be seen that this person is self-righteous and eloquent.
Emperor Hua looked at him coldly and frowned, he didn't expect that the commander of the guards of His Royal Highness Prince Rouran was still so powerful, it can be seen that Rouran is by no means as barbaric and vulgar as the outside world rumored, and the customs are strange, and he sacrifices people with living people.
