Chapter 25: Tell a story

Li Yi opened his eyes.

In front of her stood a man.

has a good figure, looks pleasing to the eye, and even has a very refined temperament.

Why is it ...... Phew! It's not Lin Zehai.

The man was a complete stranger to her. His eyebrows and eyes are very soft, but the whole person exudes a feeling that no one is close. What is it that causes such a sense of disobedience? Maybe it's his slender and tall figure? Or maybe it's the sword in his hand?

Sword? He has weapons! Li Yi, who realized this, was worried in her heart.

Without saying a word, the man pulled out a small bottle from his bosom. Put it under her nose. Such a familiar action. Li Yi couldn't help but silently recite in her heart: It's still a familiar formula.

Soon, she regained control of her body. It's just that she didn't dare to speak. Besides, he came here with a lot of effort, and he must have something to find himself. Why bother to speak? Be calm.

The man really spoke, and the first thing he said made Li Yi calm down.

He said, "You are not Chen Xiaoyun. It's an affirmative sentence.

Li Yi panicked: "Huh? She didn't know what to say. Why is this person sure that he is not the original owner? Does he have tangible proof? It's impossible, my current body is indeed the original owner's, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Your body is indeed Chen Xiaoyun's, but your soul is not. You've borrowed the corpse to resurrect your soul. ”

"It's not!" Hearing the words "borrowing the corpse to return the soul", Li Yi hurriedly retorted. If you are detained with such a hat, you don't know what kind of torture awaits you!

"If you tell me your real name and your mission, I won't tell the people of the Chen Mansion that you are not Chen Xiaoyun." The man said his first request.

Li Yi is engaged in ideological struggle.

"I can take you captive and torture you. The people of the Chen Mansion will never find you. It is also possible to kill you with a sword, and they will not find the murderer. He changed his words and became gentle: "I choose to treat you peacefully, and you should not live up to my trust." ”

Hearing the man say that he was going to be "tortured", she immediately wanted to reveal her origin and discernment. But she thought about it, "yes, why didn't he do that to me?" ”

His emotions are also very complicated now, if the woman in front of him is that woman, of course he can be ruthless, and he can kill her. But if it weren't for the woman, he didn't want to be an enemy of it.

He had already threatened her, but she still refused to give in. What's next? Since she won't answer the first two questions, why not another one?

"Why didn't you leave Lin Zehai down last night?"

Does he know about last night? "He's a foreign man, why should I keep him? Don't want my reputation? ”

He frowned: "Don't pretend, don't you care about male and female defense?" ”

"You guys? Who else? Li Yi sensitively grasped the loophole in his words.

He sighed, as long as he was sure that she was not the man, then she was not his enemy. It's still possible to cooperate.

The man stared at her and said word by word: "Gao, Ting, Ting"

Li Yi was confused, what was he doing? Do you chant mantras?

Seeing that she didn't react to the name, the man's tense nerves relaxed. I did it at the table.

"I'll tell you a story."

Li Yi couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his emotional transformation, but she still had to listen to the story. As long as you don't ask her questions, she is very cooperative. Immediately get up and sit down and pose like you're listening to the story.

The atmosphere in the house suddenly became harmonious. The dim and flickering light of the candlestick cast on the two people, and it actually shone a little gentleness. He said earnestly, and she listened attentively.

There was a crown prince, and his life was very smooth, because the emperor had only one son. He had less reverence for the emperor as a courtier. Whenever the emperor did something unvirtuous, he would bring it up directly.

As long as he and the emperor disagree, the ministers will be on his side. First, he is the only heir to this country, and second, he is really reasonable.

Occasionally, he would wonder if it was not good to directly confront the emperor like this. Such a thought was soon replaced by another one: everything he did was good for the development of the country, and he did not pay attention to it.

Even though he felt that the emperor was becoming more and more distant from him, he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until he was 16 years old that the emperor suddenly announced that he had another adult son and that he was going to take that son back. The crown prince began to be frightened when he heard the news, and he thought it was the emperor's punishment for his disrespect. He was decadent in the mansion for a month, and finally cheered up to go to court, but was angrily reprimanded by the emperor for the wreckage of his siblings.

It turned out that the illegitimate son was assassinated on the way to Beijing and was seriously injured. Everyone thought that it was he, the crown prince, who couldn't tolerate this new brother, so he sent someone to assassinate him. He has motivation and strength. Therefore, there is no way to argue. The emperor punished him with a six-month confinement.

The illegitimate son who was taken back to the court quickly recovered from his injuries. Entrusted with important tasks by the emperor.

During the period when the crown prince was grounded, the emperor had to help the two brothers choose a concubine. The crown prince did not object, but the illegitimate son told the emperor that he would only marry the daughter of Jingzhao Yin Chen Rong as his wife. Because he was saved by this woman when he was assassinated. Everyone praised him for his love and righteousness.

Li Yi heard this a little strange: Chen Xiaoyun's father seems to be called Chen Rong. Is this story about Lin Zehai? He had already seen the emperor at this time?

The man's story continues:

The emperor also agreed to this family business. The prince felt that there was something wrong with it, so he sent someone to the Chen Mansion to investigate the saving Miss Chen. There is really something wrong with this Miss Chen.

She has had a great change in temperament since she woke up from a coma with a fever. claimed to have learned medical skills in a dream and cured the old lady of Chen's insomnia. The maid of Chen's house fell into the water and was already out of breath, but she rescued people. The subordinates of the Chen Mansion privately rumored that she was possessed by some monster.

Her relatives were also afraid to contact her. Originally, they planned to invite the senior monks to accept her, and the will of the palace came to the Chen Mansion.

Only then did everyone in the Chen family know that she had hidden a strange man in the room for seven days! They didn't dare to touch her, the princess. sank her personal maid into the lake.

Although the prince thought this girl was weird, this girl didn't want to marry him, so he didn't ask too much.

Soon, both of the emperor's sons were married. On the day of his illegitimate son's wedding, the emperor made him a prince and included him in the family tree.

Not long after, a plague broke out in the country, and all the imperial doctors were helpless. At this time, the princess stepped forward and found a cure for the plague and saved the people of Dawn from fire and water. She's in the limelight for a while. The status of the prince and the princess in the hearts of the people has long surpassed that of the prince.

Although the crown prince wanted to find an opportunity to bring down the prince, he suffered from no chance. And many of the courtiers who were loyal to him switched to the prince's disciples. It hit him hard. He is already in semi-retirement. Don't go to court all day long, don't go out.

Even so, the princess's magic still penetrated his ears, the princess invented a lot of delicious dishes, the princess broke the belly of a pregnant woman, and the mother and son were both safe, and the princess ....... These things are obviously out of place, even weird. But everyone liked her like a demon, including the emperor.

The emperor is old and wants to find a way to live forever. Someone taught him alchemy. Many of the previous conflicts between the crown prince and the emperor arose because of this; He did not agree with the emperor's alchemy.
