Chapter 219: Unraveling
Fang Xuanling saw that Yongning seemed to have something to say, but he sat there for a long time without saying a sound, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What's wrong?" But what's so hard about it? ”
"Father...... Yongning didn't know why, he suddenly had an illusion of uneasiness in his heart, his fingers kept twisting the sleeves of his robe, and he said in a whisper: "It's not something difficult to do...... It's just that I often feel very confused lately, and I ...... the future Father, what do you want my future to be? What do you think I can do? …… I always feel that I am a person who can't be idle, and if I have too much free time, I will always think crankily, but no matter how much I think about it, I may not have the courage to do it...... More often than not, I don't know if I can or shouldn't do something......"
Yongning's words were a little messy and a little incomprehensible, but this did not prevent Fang Xuanling from understanding the meaning of her words. He sighed in his heart, if Yongning had not been forced to leave Chang'an back then, if he had been given more time to teach carefully, he would not have had today's worries. He pondered for a moment before shaking his head lightly and said, "Your future is not something that your father can hope for, everything is pinned on yourself, what kind of person do you want to be?" What do you think you can do? What does the future look like for you? Yongning, your own future has nothing to do with anyone's expectations, it can only be your own ......"
"Father......" Yongning lowered her head a little weakly, and pouted quietly, she really felt that the pressure was quite high, and the most terrible thing was that she couldn't analyze where the pressure came from Li Shimin was quite satisfied with her, Li Zhi's relationship with her was getting better day by day, although she was only a side concubine, but her son was currently the most noble from the East Palace, although she was pressed against a princess, but after all, because of her lack of confidence in having no children, she didn't dare to provoke her easily...... She once thought about her situation very seriously and found that everything was developing in a good direction, but the inexplicable pressure in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.
"Are you uneasy, but you can't find a goal to work for?" Fang Xuanling curled the corners of his mouth slightly, his understanding of Yongning is by no means shallow, so he will know how bad she is at positioning herself and setting goals for herself.
She once had a similar discussion with Fang Xuanling, and when Fang Xuanling thought that she was not suitable for Li Zhi, she took her burden and left very easily, as if she could let go of anything. Now she is just stuck in a similar confusion again, not knowing how to make a decision.
"Father, I can't find what I'm looking for...... Yongning looked at Fang Xuanling with a wry smile, took a deep breath, and said, "I once thought about protecting the Fang family for the rest of my life, but now it seems that my brothers have done a good job in this matter, better than me...... Then, I can't find what I want and need to work hard to achieve, I can't find the bonds that I can't give up......"
Fang Xuanling closed his eyes slightly, remembering a conversation with Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang once said that Yongning's nature is too weak, and he is afraid that it is difficult to be involved in this red world...... Even when the love between Yongning and Li Zhi is well known, Yuan Tiangang still thinks that the love in this world is afraid that it is difficult to keep Yongning's heart...... At that time, he only thought that Yuan Tiangang was worried, but now he knows that Yuan Tiangang is the one who really understands Yongning.
"Because you can't find it yourself, that's why you have to find it for your father?" Fang Xuanling looked at Yongning, the astringency in his eyes was so vague that it was almost imperceptible, he suddenly felt a little distressed, he felt sorry for this child who was recruited by Yuan Tiangang, these things, she didn't have to think much about it in the fairy world, right? This indifference is also the nature of immortals, right?
Yongning didn't know that Fang Xuanling imagined her to the heavenly immortal side again, so he just nodded vigorously and said, "Father set a goal for me, and then I will work hard to achieve it, the feeling of being empty in my heart and having nothing to rely on is really not good......"
Fang Xuanling sighed lightly and said as if recalling: "Do you still remember, your own origin? ”
"Huh?" Yongning was stunned for a moment, and said with some confusion: "This naturally remembers ......"
"You will come here to form this father-daughter relationship with me, all because of Yuan Tianshi's anti-heavenly actions, and the reason why Yuan Tianshi will do this anti-heavenly thing is only because of the Tang Dynasty...... In that case, why don't you take Datang as your fetters? Fang Xuanling squinted at Yongning slightly, he always knew that his daughter had some skills that had not been revealed, and he also understood what she was afraid of, and today was the time for him to break her scruples.
"Datang?" Yongning's eyes were even more confused, and she was even more confused by Fang Xuanling's words.
Fang Xuanling pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You just said that you don't know whether you should or can do certain things, so in fact, that means that you still have some things you want to do, but for various reasons, you don't dare to do them, right?" ”
Yongning nodded a little dejectedly, she did have a lot of thoughts in her heart, but when she thought of the consequences after she did it, she could only endure it. "If you do some things, you will be suspicious and ......uneasy," she really felt helpless, and sometimes she felt aggrieved.
Fang Xuanling shook his head with a chuckle, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Tiangang had a detailed discussion with His Majesty when you intervened in the battle situation in Liaodong...... At that time, he may have known that he could not stay in Chang'an for a long time, so he told His Majesty everything about you without concealment, and he informed me afterwards, and I knew at that time that this marriage between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely come to fruition......"
"Huh?" Yongning was really frightened this time, she never thought that Yuan Tiangang would actually tell Li Shimin those things, what she didn't expect was that Li Shimin actually didn't kill her such a strange and chaotic thing, change the focus of suspicion, I'm afraid she won't be allowed to live until now, right? Even if she "went down" to help Datang, but because of Yuan Tiangang's master-apprentice relationship with her, he could only believe his words for three points, and then he should directly kill her regardless of whether it is true or false...... Or, Li Shimin allowed her to leave her alive this time, because he planned to monitor it in many ways, and then try to squeeze it, and then ...... it when it was no longer useful.
The more Yongning thought about it, the darker it became, and he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the bloody images that flashed in his mind at the end. "Then, your majesty, didn't your majesty doubt it? After all, that's my master, with this master-apprentice relationship, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't believe all of your master's words, right? She asked cautiously.
"You" Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand with a smile, nodded Yongning a few times, and said: "Yuan Tianshi is a cultivator, where can he lie and deceive others?" His Majesty was convinced of his words, and even firmly believed that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were a match made in heaven, not only in the wedding ceremony, but also in your comfortable life in the palace, thanks to Your Majesty's maintenance of ......"
Yongning listened to this explanation, but nodded involuntarily, there were some things that he didn't understand in the past, but now he can understand one or two, no wonder even Li Zhi sometimes feels difficult to understand Li Shimin's actions.
"You are in the palace, although you should abide by your duty, but what is beneficial to the country and the people, there is no need to say it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of friendship with you, and he will not be suspicious of you, and Your Majesty, it seems that now, it will not be......" The reason why Fang Xuanling only talked about these things with Yongning at this time was naturally a decision made after some consideration, he was also worried that Li Shimin had doubts in his heart, and he was afraid that after Yongning showed his edge, it would lead to trouble, but after two years of careful deliberation, He gradually believed Li Shimin's attitude towards this matter. And the stable relationship between Li Zhi and Yongning is also an important factor for Fang Xuanling to dare to make this decision.
Yongning was a little dizzy by Fang Xuanling's words, and dared to love her in the palace all the time carefully, for fear of being suspected and suspicious by Li Shimin, it was redundant? Dare to be affectionate, His Majesty the Emperor has always known what makes her different? She felt that she needed to digest Fang Xuanling's words well, and she couldn't accept it......
"If Your Majesty had doubts about whether you were really the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty as Yuan Tiangang said, then when His Royal Highness was born, that suspicion would have disappeared......" Fang Xuanling also saw that Yongning was hit by his words, but he continued without feeling distressed at all: "At the beginning of your pregnancy, Yuan Tianshi asserted that His Royal Highness would be born on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and the child would come with Fulu, but you had to bear the disaster for the 'successor lord'......"
Fang Xuanling said the words "successor" very lightly, so light that Yongning almost couldn't hear it clearly, but she still heard it clearly, so she couldn't help but open her mouth wide and look at Fang Xuanling with a look of surprise.
Successor, where can these four words be easily exported? If it spreads, I don't know how many calamities it will cause. It's just that Yongning suddenly realized that it was not these four words, I am afraid that Li Shimin could not let Li Shimin pay so much attention to Li Cong, and he was raised by his side when he was born, and now when he is free, he is very interested in holding the child to read to him, regardless of the fact that such an older child can't understand this fact at all......
"This, these His Royal Highnesses the Prince, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?" Yongning rubbed her forehead lightly, although she felt that Li Zhi probably didn't know, she still couldn't help but ask.
Fang Xuanling really shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that before the last moment, Your Majesty won't tell His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" Yongning, you have to remember that in a place like the palace, ** is enough to harm it, if you want to be safe, you must not be spoiled too much...... Now that Your Majesty is still here, the situation around you is better, if it is in the future...... You should also persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lot, if you are still on the top of the peak as you are now, I am afraid that your life will not be as idle as it is now......"
