“…… Do you think I'll never kill you? ”

The fire in Li Longji's heart just weakened, and it burned again. He grabbed Xiao Jiangyuan's shoulders, forced her to straighten up, and then clamped his hands on her throat.

The tightening of her throat made Xiao Jiangyuan's brows frown, but it did not change the calmness of her expression. Suddenly, her face was wet, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Li Longji was gritting his teeth, looking at herself with resentment and hatred. Although his hands were trembling, the strength did not weaken, and she felt it quietly, and slowly closed her eyes.

Li Longji suddenly realized that she was not deliberately angry with him at all, nor was she determined to die, she was just really disappointed, desperate to death.

She may have never betrayed him, but now, she really wanted to abandon him.

"Could it be that if Ah Weng doesn't do anything, his father can let the concubine go?"

King Shou wanted to take advantage of the lack of people to take a look at Yang Yuhuan again, but he didn't want to see Li Longji pinching Xiao Jiangyuan's neck just after he arrived. He hurriedly rushed over and rescued Xiao Jiangyuan from Li Longji's hands. Even if he noticed that Li Longji's hand had already regained his strength, his expression was stunned, he was still uneasy, and he forgot to forbear for a while.

Seeing that it was King Shou, Li Longji was even more depressed while hating and angry. found that King Shou, who had always been quiet and obedient, now dared to unleash a sharp edge on him, and the words he said were like spikes, penetrating his heart, and his eyes were a little redder. He didn't know how much effort it would take to keep himself on his feet. He didn't want to answer King Shou's question, nor did he want his son to see his sorrow and powerlessness: "...... What are you here to do? ”

King Shou first smoothed Xiao Jiangyuan's back, took off his robe, and then helped her kneel on his robe, before he saluted Li Longji: "Son, tell my father that the person who really killed the concubine was not Ah Weng, but my father!" ”

……

"I knew you were coming."

As soon as Xiao Jiangyuan walked into the inner room, he listened to Yang Yuhuan say leisurely. According to Yang Yuhuan's invitation, she sat opposite Yang Yuhuan, and saw Ah Shuang pour a glass of water for her, and then asked hesitantly:

"General, isn't he a saint...... Going to give up the concubine? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan originally planned to falsely pass on the holy decree, because she knew that Yang Yuhuan was a person who didn't believe in fate. Yang Yuhuan's life and death have always been her own decision, and she will not give up her life easily since she was born.

For Xiao Jiangyuan, this was a natural thing, but after listening to Ah Shuang's question, she hesitated.

If Yang Yuhuan knew that Li Longji "went back on his word", how sad and sad she would be, why would she let her suffer such a sentimental injury before she died?

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan silently, Yang Yuhuan said: "Ah Yuan, tell me the truth, did San Lang send you, or did you want to come yourself?" ”

“…… It's me. ”

Yang Yuhuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay......"

Whether it is Li Longji or Xiao Jiangyuan, since they are here, they all want Yang Yuhuan to die, Xiao Jiangyuan doesn't think that Yang Yuhuan can't think of it: "Doesn't the concubine blame me?" ”

"Actually, even if you don't come, I'll invite you over." Seeing the look of surprise on Xiao Jiangyuan's face, Yang Yuhuan laughed heartily, "I didn't expect it, right?" My end is already doomed, at this moment I am more worried about you Ah Shuang, go to the door to guard, no one is allowed to come. ”

Seeing Ah Shuang leaving, Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly: "What do I have to worry about?" ”

"Are you...... Disappointed in him? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips and was silent.

"It must be, or you just have to wait in peace, and you won't come to me. Even if you and I don't do anything tonight, nothing will change the outcome. In the end, he will still take their advice and choose to give me death, there is no second possibility. ”

“…… Will it? ”

"He will." Yang Yuhuan's eyes lit up seriously, "You have been with him for so many years, and you know him better than me, how can you think about it, aren't you old and confused?" What he said at that time was just angry words, used to deter the prince, he wouldn't really do that, because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. For more than forty years, he has integrated his whole self into this supreme identity, and he has long been unable to distinguish between them. He knows what kind of decisions he should make, and even if you can't trust him for the time being, you should trust the emperor. ”

"Then why has he ...... until now" As soon as the words came out, Xiao Jiangyuan noticed that something was wrong and immediately kept silent, but he heard Yang Yuhuan laugh and say:

"He's an emperor and he's a man. If you are human, you will be heartbroken, procrastinate and escape, but that is all temporary. When the time comes, he may even come to tell me his decision in person without pretending to others, so that I hate or resent, vent at him, and then say goodbye to death. But that's ...... for me It's cruel. ”

A sobbing sound sounded at the door.

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Yang Yuhuan quietly, not knowing what to say.

Yang Yuhuan has always liked to be lively, and he didn't like this atmosphere the most, so he hurriedly said: "Ah Yuan, do you know? Before this, I always thought that the soldiers of Datang were all manly husbands who stood up to the sky, but I didn't want that one day, they would also be afraid of my revenge as a weak woman? Kill me, just for a cousin who came out of five suits? I may have misled the country, I am not a competent concubine, but I don't dare to bring disaster to the country. If it was me in the past, I would have rushed to them to question them, what kind of grudge did I Yang Yuhuan have with them, where I couldn't stand them, and what things I had done to bring disaster to the country and the people, so that they must kill me and then quickly, but now, ...... It's not easy for them, and if Saburo still needs them in the future, I won't blame them for being narrow-minded. ”

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to be slaughtered." Yang Yuhuan said and bowed solemnly to Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly turned sideways to dodge: "Concubine...... Are you planning to hang yourself? ”

"I said I wouldn't break it on my own, because I didn't want to die, but now because ...... I'm scared. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan helped Yang Yuhuan up, and saw that although there was still a smile on her face, there were two tears in her eyes.

"Such an earth-shattering sentence, Saburo can say it, it is already the extreme, and he can't do it categorically...... I don't want to wait for him to die, I don't want him to see my ugliness and hideousness before I die, and I don't want to let the eunuchs in charge of the execution touch me while I'm alive...... They have dirty hands. Yang Yuhuan tilted his head and laughed lightly, "Ah Shuang can't do it, but I know you can." Only you can help me, and I am only willing to give my life to you. ”

"But ......"

"As long as you tell him it's my decision, he won't blame you."

But he will blame himself, he will be sad, he will be ashamed...... He's going to be miserable. ”

"But I have no other way, I can't destroy the trust and friendship between you and him for many years, did you promise me?" Yang Yuhuan couldn't help laughing as he spoke, "Of course you will agree, you came to me for this reason, and you have never been able to take me, you can't refuse me." ”

fled in a hurry, and no one would prepare something like white silk and carry it with their luggage. Yang Yuhuan handed over her red shawl with a treasure pattern to Xiao Jiangyuan: "Am I good-looking?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said gently: "The concubine has always been beautiful and fragrant. ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled: "Finally promise me one thing." ”

"Concubine, please speak."

"Take care of him...... Don't give up on him. Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan's gaze wandered slightly, Yang Yuhuan held Xiao Jiangyuan's hand tightly, "Promise me, never give up on him." ”

“…… Okay, I promise you. ”

Yang Yuhuan finally tidied up her appearance, knelt in front of Xiao Jiangyuan upright, let her wrap the shawl around her neck, suddenly remembered something, and sang softly leisurely: "The treasure bun is more suitable for the palace, the lotus face is tender, and the body is red and fragrant." The eyebrows do not need to be open, and the temples are long. Mo leans into the country's appearance, marries one, and has a lover. When each other was young, they didn't have a good time......"

"This is a poem of a saint?" Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't understand the tone, but he could hear the lyrics clearly. Li Longji wrote many poems in his life, and he wrote them well, but Xiao Jiangyuan didn't remember much.

"yes...... When I first learned about this poem when I was young, I thought it was written by a romantic person. He must have genuinely admired women to write such intimate and gentle poems. Later, I learned that it was a saint today, and I didn't believe it for a while. At that time, how could I have imagined that my fate with him would be so long, so long......"

……

“…… At that time, Er wanted to take the concubine to avoid the death here, but the concubine saw through it and refused. Er knew that the concubine would not live long, so he gave her her her last ride outside the window. The words have been finished, and King Shou has burst into tears.

Li Longji couldn't believe what he heard. He glanced at Yang Yuhuan's tombstone, and then looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was kneeling with his head down, and was dizzy for a while.

King Shou hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Longji: "Father......"

Li Longji pushed King Shou away, turned around and staggered away.

It was already dawn, and the prince and Li Fuguo didn't sleep all night.

Li Fuguo was very unwilling: "The slave maid doesn't understand, since the sage said so at the time, why didn't His Royal Highness give it a go and take over the throne, but gave him a good chance to save the heart of the army." ”

"You're too anxious." The prince sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows, "Where is he for the sake of beauties, not for the people of the country, and you believe the angry words?" ”

"The slave doesn't believe him, but he just thinks that as the king of a country, he can even say that kind of words, and all the soldiers must be chilled, this is His Highness's opportunity!"

"Even if it is a serious Zen position, you still need to ask three times and let three times, how can there be a reason for the saint to open his mouth and the prince to respond directly? What's more, Chen Xuanli should have spoken about the succession, but he retreated and chose to use the death of the concubine to dilute the dissatisfaction of the soldiers with his father, which was to protect his father. He never sided with me, he just wanted to use me to save Long Wuwei's life. ”

"I really don't know how to lift." Seeing that the prince glanced at himself lightly, Li Fuguo hurriedly said, "Failing to win General Chen over is a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave, please forgive Your Highness." ”

"You can't be blamed for it. You, compared to your master, are too far behind after all, Chen Xuanli is her old acquaintance, there is no reason not to listen to her, but to listen to you. ”

"The matter...... General Xiao also intervened? ”

"Do you think that among the dragon heroes, Chen Xuanli can live to this day like Ah Weng because he is smart? No, it's because he has a tendon, and he can do anything that prevents him from being loyal to his father. He should have put the hope of preserving Long Wuwei on me according to your plan, but he gave this hope to his father on the spot. He didn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, and he didn't react so quickly, so naturally someone reminded him in advance. It seems that when I was in Jincheng County, Ah Weng asked me where you were, and said that it was because I was worried about whether you were eating or drinking, and it was really an ulterior intention. What kind of master and apprentice father and son, love and righteousness? She clearly noticed that something was wrong and deliberately tested me. ”

Li Fuguo was stunned at first when he heard this, and was silent for a while before he said: "No wonder the prince deliberately became intimate with General Xiao in front of the saint, and spoke for her, it turned out to be a discordant plan." ”

"If I say no, will you believe it?" The prince sighed, "After all, she is a Weng who watched me grow up, in and out of this palace for so many years, except for my adoptive mother, only she can always see me." ”

"Your Highness, the sky is already bright, and we will leave in about half an hour. The other path suggested by the slave maid last night, can Your Highness make up your mind? ”
