Chapter Fifty-Six: A Promise

I thought that I would be able to recover my vigorous state when I woke up, who thought that this sleep was nearly half a month, sometimes awake and sometimes confused in my sleep, and I always felt that someone came and went, walked and came, I knew that person was not Li Xuan, but I couldn't recognize his appearance.

The whispered voices of Li Xuan and the man vaguely sounded in their ears, as if they were arguing about something? Then there was a boundless darkness in front of him, so thick that it could not be dissolved. Ten days later, I learned that Li Xuan killed Xiao Ye on the night he took me back from Zixuan Palace, and he also personally ordered someone to hand over Xiao Ye's body to Chu Hong, which undoubtedly angered the envoys of the southern kingdom and made the relationship between the two countries tense.

For Xiaoye's death, I almost broke with him.

Li Xuan, why is it that every time I take a step closer to you, I am pulled further away by reality?

"I really don't understand what's so good about this woman, it's worth it for you to hate her to provoke a war between the two countries, and gamble with the national fortunes of Daqi!" Long Xiao was rarely angry, the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded, and he slapped his palm on the table, and the corner of the table cracked in response.

Li Xuan was not angry: "She is my woman." ”

Long Xiao's eyes were gloomy, and her voice was fierce: "Three years ago, I should have given a death order for the spies to kill her to prevent future troubles." ”

"I used to be my father, but now it's Xuan Youβ€”you all have to embarrass me for her, sheβ€”" Long Xiao waved his sleeves and fingers at me who was unconscious, and said hatefully: "Long Xi is destined to be incompatible with me." ”

Li Xuan's throat tightened, since he was a teenager and Long Xiao knew each other, although it was a noble royal family, Long Xiao because of the weak relationship with the former emperor's father and son, he left the palace very early to travel to several countries, he worked as a handyman, worked as a private school teacher, and suffered a lot of undeserved hardships for princes. This was the first time he had seen Long Xiao who was emotionally out of control.

"The queen mother was deposed by her father because of her mother's concubine, and I was alienated and neglected by my father because of her, my father pushed me to the forefront to compete with other princes, but asked Qin Cheng to take her away from the palace to Qinzhou, just to leave the throne intact to her. is also his child, how much he loves Long Xi, how cruel he is to me, why is he so ruthless! ”

The first emperor gave all the love of an emperor to Concubine Sumire, and the two of them were inseparable from each other, so that after Concubine Sumire died in childbirth, the first emperor was deeply saddened and determined to bury her in the imperial mausoleum, and she could only be buried in the concubine's mausoleum after her death.

Some ministers repeatedly admonished, and without exception, they were all beheaded, so no one dared to mention the matter again.

"My father was depressed for the death of Concubine Sumire, and his health was not as good as day by day, and he would grow old in a few years." Long Xiao gradually calmed down, as if what he said was completely irrelevant: "The only thing he miscalculated was my ambition, I sent a dead soldier to kill the person who went to Qinzhou to report the news, so that my father and emperor couldn't see Long Xi when he was dying." β€œ

He turned his face and was desperate: "Xuan, do you know what my father said to me at the moment of his death? He said that he was most at ease with Long Xi, and if I promised to take care of Long Xi for the rest of my life, he would pass the throne to me. β€œ

Long Xiao's handsome face showed a hint of mockery: "I tried my best to win the dragon throne, but I couldn't kill the person I hated the most, how can I not be ironic?" β€œ

Li Xuan didn't know how to say it, Long Xiao's heart knot had been depressed for many years, and it was not something he could resolve in a few words. The first emperor added that he was too heavy.

"You hate her, but you know better than me how innocent she is. And because the former queen hated her, who is to blame for the tragedy she suffered? I joined forces with you to create her situation today, a person without a past, what is the difference between being alive and a puppet? β€œ

"She once questioned me about her identity, and I felt her pain, but I didn't suffer for a single day. I don't want her to forget the past with me, but I'm afraid that she will hate me when she remembers everything. Xiao, do you understand the feeling of not being able to love and not daring to love? β€œ

"I'm fed up with this kind of fear that can only push her away, I love her, even if you want to hurt her, I will not give in."

Long Xiao is also the first time to see Li Xuan, who is so weak, he has always felt that Li Xuan is cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is a heartless person, he asked Li Xuan to go to Qinzhou, but he didn't expect Li Xuan to fall in love with Long Xi. Li Xuan, his confidant and friend who has always talked about everything, rushed back to the capital overnight and entered the palace on the first night to ask him for marriage.

He was forced to almost use the identity of the emperor to pressure him: "You can think about it carefully, if she knows what you have done in Qinzhou, she will definitely fight with you." β€œ

Li Xuan's face was ashen, and only his eyes were as firm as ever: "I promised to marry her, even if she really wants to kill me then, I will bear it." ”

It's just that no one would have thought that I would be so decisive, and would rather take the Forget Worry Grass and beg for death than marry Li Xuan, and the wedding ceremony will be delayed for two years.

There was silence in the room, and Li Xuan slowly explained the reason: "Her old injuries have not healed, and the high fever is difficult to retreat, I am afraid that only the qi of the Son of Heaven in your body can save her." This was the purpose of his invitation to Long Xiao to the Xuan Palace.

Long Xiao raised her eyebrows disdainfully: "How sure are you that I am willing to condescend to save her?" ”

The four words of condescension and dignity, he bit very hard.

"If you insist on not saving it, I will announce the real reason for Concubine Li's miscarriage to the world." Li Xuan leisurely.

"How dare youβ€”"

Li Xuan raised the corners of his lips in a good mood, his expression was full of threat, he couldn't be clearer about Long Xiao's temper, so he just killed his sharp spirit. He left Long Xiao alone, went out of the inner room, and covered the door as he left.

Long Xiao froze, looked at me in the brocade quilt with a complicated expression, and a turbid air that could not be relieved surged in his heart. He stood in front of the bed and stared at me condescendingly, his face grim, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. At that moment, I suddenly woke up faintly, and met his deep gaze in a daze, even though I was unconscious, he was still surprised: "You-"

Before he could finish, I fainted again.

He was angry, after making sure that I was asleep, he lifted the brocade quilt on my body, I sweated a lot before, and my body was hot and cold, Aunt Yun had to change me into a thin middle coat, and I was uncomfortable because of the heat in my sleep, and I struggled a few times to open my neckline, at this time the collarbone was fully revealed, revealing a light cyan belly pocket, and Long Xiao was not embarrassed.

He scoffed: "Hmph-a fox slut like Concubine Sumire." ”

He sat me up without any pity, and he took off his shoes and sat behind me, his palms close to my back, secretly exercising his skills.

In less than a stick of incense, although Long Xiao's breath was evenly absorbed, fine sweat still oozed from his smooth forehead, and Yingting's sword eyebrows furrowed.

The golden glimmer enveloped the two of us, and my mind gradually cleared, but my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't open them, and I felt as if I was half in a sea of fire, and the other half was drowning in deep water, and I was tormented. The body instinctively resisted the breath poured in from the palm of the person behind him, and the two forces fought silently, seemingly relieving the pain, but in fact it was worse.

Long Xiao behind him instantly felt another powerful true qi surging in my body, and he was shocked, but he quickly stabilized his mind in case he went mad at the slightest mistake. He pressed his palms against my back, and a gentle, scorching wave of air entered my body from his palms strongly.

This strong air flow and the air flow in my body collided violently, sweet blood poured up my throat again and again, as if there was a knife stirring my internal organs up and down, the pain permeated my whole body, I opened my eyes "swoop", my eyes were round, and the hanging hand subconsciously clung to the edge of the bed, until the palm grinded out blood, still could not relieve this pain.

Long Xiao sensed that something was wrong with me, but he still watched coldly, and another powerful air flow poured in from my back, I couldn't bear it anymore, leaned forward and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the whole person collapsed on the side of the bed, unable to stand up.

My face was as pale as paper, the clothes on my body were all soaked with sweat, the corners of my mouth were constantly oozing blood, and there was no pain in my body.

He straightened his robe in two or two, put on his shoes with dignity as if he were all right, and stood up with a tall and broad posture, and I looked away from him, and my mind turned a thousand times and circled several times.

What is he doing here? A moment ago, he punished me for kneeling in the rain, causing me to contract a serious illness, and now he put down his body and helped out? Even if he is the emperor who controls the life and death of the people in the world, don't expect me to be half grateful to him. I remembered that he pulled Li Xuan to co-star in a good play, which made me frightened, I couldn't eat or sleep, and the stuffiness in my chest became heavier and heavier.

Long Xiao seemed to know my thoughts very well, and he didn't even bother to look at me: "You'd better give some points to Zhen'an, otherwise even King Xuan won't be able to protect you!" ”

After warning me, he walked away, leaving a room of cold air.

It was already dark, and the faint moonlight poured in through the window lattice, and I vomited several mouthfuls of blood in succession, looking feebly at the light and shadow on the ground.

I suddenly heard Li Xuan's voice outside the house: "Thank you." ”

"If she keeps to herself, I don't bother to spend energy on her. You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation of the matter of the Nanguo Post House. ”

It turned out that Li Xuan pinched the emperor's sore feet, so he "coerced" the emperor to come up and save me, so that I felt much better, and it was Li Xuan who saved me, not the emperor of Laoshizi.

"Xi'erβ€”" Li Xuan hurriedly walked over and gently helped me sit up straight: "Are you better?" ”

I tried to smile, but I knew that at this time I was afraid that laughing was worse than crying, and I wanted to cry out loud in pain, and I admitted the shame.

Li Xuan looked at me fixedly, his dark eyes were full of pity and tenderness, and his words were warmer than ever: "Xi'er, you are the strongest person I have ever met, and you will definitely be able to survive it." ”

It's a nice voice, am I really as strong as he says? His heart rejoiced, but he fell into his bosom and fainted again.

I don't know what method the emperor used, but I woke up in the afternoon of the next day, my chest was more relaxed than ever, and my body was completely restored.
