Li Li's thoughts were restless, and he was in the way of doing something very unfavorable, if it weren't for this matter, he wouldn't be so uncontrollable and make a big mistake.

At one time, Li Mi discussed with him the strategy of defending the northwest, and at one time, the messenger reported the battle situation of Changshan and Taiyuan, the two generals of Guo and Li, and requisitioned and distributed food and salaries. In the end, he was busy until late at night, and then he took off (body shēn) and hurried back.

Two palace maids stood outside the door, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is the princess?" The palace maid said in a low voice: "Back (palace diàn), the princess is in the room, and the slaves and maids are not allowed to enter, and the rice has not entered until now." ”

He pushed the door in, the room was dark and dark, there was no lamp, knowing that there were people guarding the courtyard, she would never be able to leave this room, he still raised a wisp of panic and fear for no reason, only to feel that the house was empty ((swing dàng) dàng) ((swing dàng) dàng) no one, the sky and the earth were empty, and he was the only one left. At this time, even the footsteps were floating lightly, and in the glow outside the window, he suddenly walked towards the inner room, and gently called "pearl" in his mouth, but there was no response. From the door to the inner room, it is only more than ten steps away, and it is so long under his feet, it seems that from Chang'an to Lingwu, he has not walked for such a long time.

Behind the beaded curtain, it is faintly visible that there is a person lying on the collapsed (bed chuáng). His heart was heavy and relaxed, and he lifted the curtain and walked up quickly.

However, I saw Shen Pearl lying on his side with his clothes facing inward, and it was very cool at night at the beginning of the year, and there was no bedding on his body. He didn't know if she was really asleep, so he bowed down (身shēn), close to her earlobe, and called her again in a low voice.

No response was received. He sighed softly, took off her shoes and socks, tore off the futon and put it on her, and went to probe her forehead, but felt that her palms were cold, and her tears filled her palms.

He woke up in horror, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows to call her again, patting her on the shoulder. She shēn, her voice choked slightly, but it sounded clear: "Don't move. Go to sleep. ”

He felt a little comforted, and she was willing to shed tears for him, which was better than not saying anything and ignoring it, and said softly: "Okay, you sleep well, I will accompany you." "Sitting on the side of the bed, the night is dark, the moonlight is miserable, quietly guarding her.

Since Shen Zhu left, her mind was foggy and cloudy, sparing her to advance and retreat from An Qingxu and Mo Yan, but she was confused and confused.

Without him, although this world is big, where is she home? If she doesn't leave him, the years will be long, how will she get along with him? Thinking about it, people are inexplicably tired and lazy, and gradually fall asleep; After a while, I slowly woke up again, thought about it again and again, and fell asleep again...... Unconsciously, tears wet my cheeks and soaked the pillow towel.

Why did she still cry, why did she still have a hard time? Could it be that in her heart, she was reluctant to leave......

She heard him enter the room, sighed, called, his palm was warm and comfortable, and he stroked her face for a moment, and the embankment of her heart that she had built was almost slumped, pretending to be confused, and turning (身shēn) away, if everything would pass, he and she would still be the envy of everyone in the palace. However, she couldn't—if there was a gap in her heart, how could she walk hand in hand with him again? He didn't believe her anymore, how could she deceive herself and smile at him day and night?

Thinking over and over again, crying over and over again, falling asleep over and over again to wake up.

When I woke up again, the palace was even more silent, and the long night of unclear was loose and sore. On the side of the bed, Li Jiao leaned on his head, probably sleepy, and his snort was subtle in his sleep.

She got out of bed without moving, and walked barefoot towards the bleak Qionghua outside the window.

With a tightening of his wrist, he grabbed him tightly, and heard his hurried voice behind him: "Where are you going!" ”

She turned her head and smiled at him, and under the moonlight, his expression was hazy, and he didn't know whether he was sad, happy, angry or angry, and said, "Where can I go?" It's your people up and down, where else can I go? ”

He let go of her hand and said gloomily, "I'm just afraid, afraid that you will be angry, afraid that you will leave me." ”

She walked under the window and said in a low voice, "If there is such a day, I just hope that you can remember the past (情qíng) and treat the appropriate children well." ”

His heart ached: "Do you still have to misunderstand me like this, I am such a duplicitous person?" ”

She smiled faintly and said, "It's the pearl who doesn't deserve to be in harmony with you." You have doubts in your heart, why pity me, I just need a little dignity for myself, it's not too much. ”

He pulled her (body shēn) over and looked her deep into the eyes. Separated so closely, his eyes were deep, as if there was pain and sadness, and he only looked at her for a moment, and then taught her to sink into it. She only closed her eyes tightly, her heart was like a knife, and she let the world be silent, smelling the familiar breath coming from him.

"Pearl", he (desire yù) said and rested, as if he wanted to say something, difficult to say. After enduring it for a long time, he finally said in a dumb voice: "Don't blame me anymore, today (Rirì) ......, just because I really ...... I'm really scared...... And jealousy......"

Afraid, jealous?

She opened her eyes, these four words were spit out of his mouth by the conceited and arrogant him?

Why is he afraid, why is he jealous?

He stroked her cheek and said slowly: "You don't know, I've been like this since I rescued you...... I don't know how much you have suffered since you married me. Achina, you nearly lost your sight; Later, Chang'an fell, and I failed to take care of you, so that you almost died in the sword; That (日rì) wind clothes, plain porcelain to Lingwu, speaking of the pain you suffered when you were a child, my heart was almost crushed into powder. I'm afraid that you will blame me and blame me, what can I give you over the years as your husband? Nothing, nothing but your suffering, I am only afraid to be disappointed in me, leave me...... I'm even more jealous of Na Mo Yansi, why is he always the first to come to your rescue when you are in danger, God treats him too kindly...... I'm just scared and jealous, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me, I'm afraid you'll move to him......"

She never expected him to say such a thing. He was born from the beginning, because of Xuanzong's favor (love ài), he was praised by everyone to the sky and clouds, and both civil and military all-rounders, handsome and dignified, self-confidence and conceit innately, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing color, looking at the world, I am afraid that no one is put in his eyes, as a real opponent. Now, he uttered the words "fear" and "jealousy" in his own words.

He would never admit and face such a secretive matter.

Today, he actually confided in her in person.

Could it be that he really misunderstood him?

He paused for a moment and continued: "Today (日rì) my spleen (sex xìng) is so difficult to control, in fact, there is another thing, speaking of which, it is all because I am angry with you and cannot live with you. ”

She listened to his words in a very sad tone, and she raised her head and asked, "What happened to the government?" ”

Li Li shook his head, "It's military affairs." Jincheng County received news that Nanzhao and Tubo took advantage of the civil strife in our Tang Dynasty to form a coalition army, and had captured Jincheng County ten days ago. When he said the last sentence, he let out a long breath and his eyebrows were solemn.

And so it was! The loss of Jincheng County, not only did the northwest have no important obstacles to defend, but also the troops of Li Jiao's descendants, which had been painstakingly managed for many years, were completely destroyed, and they were all private for the public, and this blow was unbearable. Thinking back to today, he first got the news that Jincheng County was broken, and his heart was already sad and depressed, and he was also told that he had a private meeting with Mo Yan in a teahouse, he began to believe it, who knew that he had a positive encounter, and his anger was suppressed, and he finally vented.

She silently gazed at his face. He was entangled in military affairs (身shēn), Suzong was suspicious of him, Zhang Shufei and Li Fuguo hid knives in their smiles, the soldiers did not obey the control, and the Battle of Changshan in Taiyuan was frequently urgent, and he (Rirì) became haggard and dull, and occasionally coughed in his sleep. Internal and external troubles, the pressure and resistance he endured were unimaginable.

He is a man, not a saint, and not a god!

Ordinary husbands and wives know that they understand each other, why can't she understand him like this, only for the pain and pain she has suffered in the past, she is so fragile that she refuses to believe the person in front of her, and only drills into the narrow alley.

The meeting with Mo Yansi was originally her fault.

This misunderstanding can finally be resolved.

She leaned forward slightly, her jet-black hair was silky and flowing, rubbing softly against his neck, her slender feet were light, and her lips were imprinted on his cheeks. Li 俶 (身shēn) body is numb, bows his head and reaches out to hook her chin, Fang (desire yù) speaks, but he sees her barefoot □ outside the middle clothes, he can't help frowning and bending over, saying in his mouth, "Why are you so careless about yourself (body shēn)", stretching out her palm (desire yù) to warm her pair of bare feet, a stunned, the hand is not full of a grip, but soft as jade, instantly in the heart of a ((swing dàng) dàng), hold it tightly, (chest xiōng) in the thirst is difficult to hold, breath is short, raise eyes to look at her, Her cheeks were crimson......

Early in the morning, after washing and eating, Shen Pearl personally took the clothes and changed Li Jiao's clothes. Li Li looked at her in the mirror, smiled slightly, put his hand around her waist, put her in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Last night...... Luckily? She was embarrassed, glanced sideways at the palace maid beside her, blushed and didn't speak. Those palace maids and servants all knew that the two of them were unhappy yesterday (Rirì), and they were all worried, fearing that one would be careless and affect the fish in the pond. At this time, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to say much, and no one dared to come forward to make fun, so they just stood by as if they had nothing to do.

Li Jiao let go of Shen Zhuzhu, dressed up, and said, "It's still early, you can sleep for a while, and it's not too late to go to your father and concubine to say goodbye." ”

As he spoke, he walked outside, and Shen Pearl only followed behind to see him out.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang—" One of them shouted and hurriedly broke into the room. When I looked closely, it was Li Qi, the king of Jianning.

Li Qi wore a plain white suit, hurriedly ran over, and after standing up, he saw Shen Pearl present, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello sister-in-law". Since Murong Linzhi's incident, Shen Pearl has been extremely unhappy to see Li Qi, and occasionally encounters times when there is no way to avoid it, but he said hello politely and coldly, and when he saw Li Qi at this time, his heart was even more unhappy, he nodded with a faint smile, and went back to the inner room.

But I heard Li Qi say: "Brother Wang, I saw Lin Zhi today——"

Shen Pearl couldn't help but stop. Li Li glanced up and down at Li Qi and said, "So what? ”

Li Qi's face was happy, and he said hurriedly: "That must be her, although it is the back, I will never be mistaken." Today (日rì) I got up early to practice swords in the mountains and forests south of the city, and saw a woman entering the mountain from the city, although I didn't see the appearance, but the (body shēn) section, the demeanor of the road, except for Lin Zhi, there was no one else! I didn't expect her to be in Fengxiang-"

Shen Pearl couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and interjected: "Even if it's Lin Zhi, what? Wasn't she abandoned by you? Don't you think she's sad and painful enough to humiliate her again? ”

Li Qi originally came to Li Li to discuss with great interest, but at this time, he was robbed by Shen Pearl for a while, his face was red and white, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Li Jiao patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I have something to discuss with you, let's talk while walking." Squeezed Shen Zhu's hand comfortingly, and walked out with Li Qi.

didn't take a few steps, Yan Ming hurried over, and said a few words to Li Jiao in his ear, Li Jiao's face was pale, and before he could speak, an inner servant ran into the courtyard, but it was the prince of Suzong who was close to him, and when he saw Li Li and Li Qi at a glance, he was relieved, and stepped forward and saluted: "It turns out that the two (palace diàn) are here, Your Majesty is in a hurry, please come with me as soon as possible!" ”

Li Li thought about it, walked in front of Shen Zhuzhu, and said to her in a very low voice: "Guan Nei Jiedu made Wang Sili retreat in martial arts, and now the rebels are attacking Yamato Pass, there may be turmoil in the palace today, don't worry, stay in the room and rest, and don't have to go to ask for peace." At this time, the battles with the rebels were all local melees, and the martial arts had been repeatedly attacked by the rebel general An Shouzhong, Wang Sili was invincible, and there was no response to the horses, and he retreated to Fufeng, so that the rebels arrived at Yamato Pass, directly threatening the safety of Fengxiang.

Shen Pearl guessed that Su Zong was in such a hurry to summon Li Li and Li Qi to discuss the matter, and nodded again and again.

The news in the palace was transmitted very quickly, and in less than an hour, everyone in the palace learned of this letter, and everyone from top to bottom showed anxious and frightened looks. Yamato Pass is lost, Fengxiang is broken, just like the loss of Tongguan and Chang'an, how can it not make people panic and anxious. Shen Pearl thought about it for a long time in the room, but slowly put her mind at ease. Fengxiang garrison is very much, Su Zong will do everything possible to keep the Yamato Pass, the rebels are in pursuit, ** to wait for work, in the strength of the army also has an advantage, and the situation of Tongguan is very different, there is no reason to hold it.

Sure enough, this (day) Li Li came back earlier than usual. When he entered the room, he hugged Shi'er with one hand, and while playing and amusing him, he ordered dinner to be passed. Shen Pearl saw that his heart (情qíng) was very good, and asked with a smile: "Yamato Guan is worry-free?" ”

Li Jiao said: "Please ask Ying in front of (Diandiàn), lead the troops to rush to the aid of Yamato Pass, Marshal Guo will also lead his troops to come, and when the time comes, the inside and outside will be encircled, and the rebels will be wiped out." "He, the marshal, is naturally sitting in Fengxiang to see the overall situation.

As soon as he talked about Li Qi, Shen Pearl lost interest again, anyway, Yamato Guan was safe, so he didn't bother to ask.

Just as he was about to start eating, the guards said that they had something to report.

Li Jiao put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This meal also teaches people to eat at ease." So he called the guard in and spoke.

The guard said: "There is an old man outside the line who said that there is an important matter (palace diàn) and the princess. ”

Li Li and Shen Pearl looked at each other, and secretly said strangely, if you want to see Li Li, why do you want to see Shen Zhu? Li Jiao asked: "What is the old man's surname, and any official position, can you ask clearly?" ”

The guard bowed (身shēn) and presented an object to Li Jiao, saying: "He refused to tell his name, but only said that he would give this thing to His Majesty and the princess, and he would know who he was." ”

Li Li ran his finger over the thing, and at first glance, he was even more puzzled - it was just an extremely ordinary Go black. After thinking about it, he handed the chess pieces to Shen Zhu, and Shen Pearl was also inexplicable, holding the chess pieces to compare with the outdoor dusk light, and suddenly he realized that he slapped the table and got up, and Li Jiao suddenly woke up.

The two hurriedly walked out of the main gate of Xingyuan, looked around, but saw a person standing up slowly under a willow tree on the side, smiling at him and his wife.

Sun E, the chief physician of the national hand.
