What does she think? What can she think? Does it matter what she thinks?

Lu Yunniang didn't understand Li Longji's intentions, but she had her own thoughts: "The concubine naturally everything is subject to General Xiao's will, she can do whatever she wants, and the concubine will support her unconditionally." Instead of asking what the concubine thinks, the sage should sort out his own thoughts. ”

"Oh?"

"What does the sage think this child should live in this world now, is it a prince or princess of high status, or the adopted son of a eunuch?"

"My child, naturally, is a prince or a princess."

"Then what is the identity of this child's biological mother?"

"This is my child, the mother of the child, and naturally my wife."

Seeing that Li Longji said without hesitation and loudly, Lu Yunniang was both happy for Xiao Jiangyuan and worried about her.

The two identities of the child determine the path Xiao Jiangyuan will take in the future. If the first article is decided, Xiao Jiangyuan will either become a concubine, or deny the child and lose her motherhood, no matter which one she is, it will be too cruel for her.

"The saint has made up his mind?" Lu Yunniang asked tentatively.

Li Longji's eyes were far away, and his tone was firm: "This determination has been there for a long time, and it didn't come from having a child. For so many years, I have never given up on her, and to this day, I am also determined. ”

"But the saint still has so many concubines and children......"

"There are already ones, and I can't make them 'no', but I can guarantee that after her, there will be no more."

"What is the use of a sage's promise to a concubine......" Lu Yunniang was moved, and couldn't help muttering.

Li Longji smiled: "If I don't get your affirmation, how can I ask you to help me?" ”

Lu Yunniang was embarrassed for a moment, and finally said: "The concubine can help the saint persuade her, but the result is, the concubine can't be sure." The concubine decided to help the saint simply because she truly loved you. ”

After that, Li Longji said to the outside world that Xiao Jiangyuan was ill and granted her a long vacation, and the deadline was undetermined. The right guard still has a deputy general, and the inner flying dragon soldiers are temporarily led by Feng Shenwei, some of them are led by Jing Zhong, who guards Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion, and the affairs of the inner guard province are handled by Yuan Siyi, another internal servant in addition to Jing Zhong. As for so many performances, after many years, Li Longji re-examined it by himself, watched it for a few days, and then handed it over to Li Linfu to take care of.

Li Linfu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and secretly asked Li Longji: "Is the minister ...... Time to get ready? ”

In this matter, Li Linfu was very conflicted, not only worried that Xiao Jiangyuan would cause some obstacles to himself like before, but also hoped that she would not be confused by everyone. He handed over the decision to Li Longji, if Li Longji nodded, then he had to do it as a last resort, and he would see each other in the future, otherwise, it was fate, and he was destined to meet such an enemy and friend in this life.

It's not his fault anyway.

saw Li Longji groaning and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

This time, Li Linfu felt even more wrong-when it came to the end, why did Li Longji hesitate?

At the same time, Li Longji is very obedient to Xiao Jiangyuan, he loves and dotes on him very much, he will rush to Yishanfang almost every night, staring at her to take fetal pills, talking to her and the child in her womb, and then hugging her to sleep. Although this made Xiao Jiangyuan a little unaccustomed, it also somewhat paralyzed her senses.

At first, she thought that the so-called vacation was no different from before, and that she could go back in a few days. She was indeed a little unwell, so she simply rested for a few days. When she returned to Xingqing Palace, she knew what Li Longji had done.

Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, she went directly to the Qinzheng Mansion to find him.

"How did you get here?" When Li Longji saw Xiao Jiangyuan, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Didn't you say that you are not in good health and need to rest more?" ”

This is tantamount to admitting that everything was deliberately done by him.

"Minister...... Compliance. Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Li Longji lightly, left only one sentence, turned around and left.

Li Longji hurriedly retreated left and right, and grabbed Xiao Jiangyuan: "Don't be angry. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't have a trace of a smile on his face, let alone refused to look at him, and his hands were constantly struggling, Li Longji simply hugged her: "It's not that you don't know that you are pregnant at an advanced age, and the risk is very high, I am also thinking about your body and our children......"

"You already have thirty sons and thirty daughters, isn't that one worse?"

"What is this called? Don't you know how much I want it and care about it? ”

Hearing Xiao Jiangyuan be silent for a long time, Li Longji coaxed: "Let's give birth to the child safely and securely, in the past few months, you can think about it again, if after the child is born, you still prefer to be a man and a eunuch...... Then I'll let you do it, how? ”

"And then this child, do you call me 'Ah Niang' or 'Ah Weng'?"

Seeing that Li Longji was speechless, it was obvious that what Fang Cai said was just perfunctory, Xiao Jiangyuan broke away from his embrace. She smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why are you so cautious? It is the minister who should be uneasy, after all, it is the minister who is sorry for everyone, maybe from the beginning...... No, there shouldn't be a 'beginning' at all. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan went back to Yishanfang directly, and locked Li Longji out of the room that night.

The door was not locked, Li Longji was the Son of Heaven again, and she couldn't resist if she really wanted to break in, but she didn't expect that Li Longji would obediently guard outside the door all night, and the next morning saw that she still refused to see her, so she went back to Xingqing Palace alone, and ran over again before the door closed in the evening.

After three days in a row, Li Longji finally couldn't stand it anymore and fainted outside Xiao Jiangyuan's door.

When he woke up, he was already lying on Xiao Jiangyuan's couch, and she was lying beside him, leaning on his shoulder and sleeping.

He couldn't help but want to touch her face, but she suddenly woke up.

Looking at each other, his body was quiet, he was about to say something, but he felt that his throat was slightly hoarse, and he felt a warm embrace, and it was she who hugged him.

"Why do you bother......

Li Longji touched her hair: "Although I have died a hundred times, I still have no regrets." ”

He is the emperor, and he responds to every call, so naturally there are countless loyal ministers who will be born and die for him, where is the use of his "hundred deaths"?

This was said cautiously and carefully, but it was not so credible, but Xiao Jiangyuan still listened carefully and believed it.

Since then, she has no longer resisted Li Longji, and An An has raised the fetus separately, and she will not leave the house again.

Li Longji gradually put his mind at ease, and when he heard Xiao Jiangyuan say that his identity was unknown, he still didn't want others to see anything, so he had no choice but to stop coming over every day, but changed it to every other day.

When Li Longji was there, she could still smile and speak, but if Li Longji was not there, she would sit on the couch with her knees crossed alone, silent as a lonely stone.

At first, Lu Yunniang thought that Xiao Jiangyuan was not used to suddenly losing Li Longji's company, but gradually, she realized that something was wrong.

She didn't wear all the women's clothes that Li Longji sent her, and she still showed them in men's clothes.

"Ah Yuan...... Having a child, this is a good thing, shouldn't you be happy, but why, you are always depressed? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan stroked his lower abdomen: "I can't feel it at all." ”

"It's only been two months, and it's still young. I heard that some pregnant women vomit, but you don't, it seems that this is a sensible child. ”

"Yes......"

Lu Yunniang sat next to Xiao Jiangyuan: "Actually, it's okay...... The two of you are not young, and when you have a child, it will simply become this marriage, which is an explanation for you, him and this child. Life must go on, before I met you, how could I have imagined that one day I would be able to meet the Son of Heaven and the Prince, and I would be able to talk to them? Your proposal was much more sudden than it is now, and if I am like you, who refuse to move forward without knowing the way forward, then you and I will not be where we are today. What the hell are you waiting for? You clearly cherish what he has done for you, and even feel guilty for it. ”

"It's just my stubbornness, he shouldn't have to suffer so much. Actually, there is nothing to blame for him doing this, I knew it early on. ”

"Could it be...... Do you believe him? Lu Yunniang guessed, "You don't believe that his feelings for you will last forever, do you think he will treat you like other concubines?" ”

Yes, who would dare to bet on a true love in the heart of an emperor?

What's more, what Xiao Jiangyuan wants is not love.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's expression, Lu Yunniang became more and more sure: "At this point, you have never believed him. ”

"At the same time, I am also confused, have I done so much, I am about to become a supreme minister, and I will also be trapped in the identity of a woman, and I can't escape the end of becoming a harem woman after all?"

"I finally see what you mean." Lu Yunniang was suddenly worried, "But have you ever thought about what to do with this child?" ”

"Even if we don't want the status of the royal prince and noble, I can say that I brought it back from outside, but your belly will be big, you will be pregnant and give birth to a child, and you will not be able to see people for at least a year, if there is no help from the saint...... I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it. ”

“…… You can also hide it. ”

When Lu Yunniang heard this, she was just about to be happy, and her heart panicked inexplicably.

Restoring the identity of a woman is a good way, but if you don't have this child, don't you have to hide it anymore?

Xiao Jiangyuan will not ...... Ruthless to this point, right?

"Don't think anything crooked!" Lu Yunniang hurriedly said, "You are old, it is not easy to get pregnant, and a woman who is pregnant is stepping into the ghost gate, once there is anything wrong, anything can happen." The saint cares so much about this child, and he will never let you take advantage of it. If you don't have that, it's fine, and if you have it, the child is the most important thing. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly.

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to have nothing to do, calm and peaceful, Lu Yunniang relieved her mind a little.

On the second day, Xiao Jiangyuan began to be happy, but her complexion gradually improved, and she was about to be three months pregnant.

Li Longji heard that the fetus would be stable after three months, so he was thinking about the days in his heart, planning to ask for another marriage on the day of the third month

As the saying goes, there are only three things, and this is the fourth time he has proposed to marry, so he should have succeeded, right?

Thinking of Xiao Jiangyuan's recent reaction, Li Longji was confident.

But I didn't want this day to be advanced by Xiao Jiangyuan.

They haven't had sex for a long time, and Xiao Jiangyuan was unusually active this night. Although Li Longji was emotional, he still pushed Xiao Jiangyuan away: "The fetus is not stable, and it is not okay." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't care about it, hooked Li Longji's neck, and blocked his lips.

It was difficult to separate for a while, and the two separated, their foreheads against each other, and the tips of their noses rubbed against each other. Li Longji was about to lose it anymore, so he gasped and asked, "You treat me like this, but you are finally willing...... Become my wife? ”

"I don't want to."

The room was quiet for a long time before Xiao Jiangyuan's voice slowly sounded.

In fact, at the moment when Xiao Jiangyuan stopped all his movements and did not answer immediately, Li Longji expected the answer and the ending.

He helped her to sit up, thoughtfully placing a pillow behind her, but she straightened her back and did not lean on.

"Why is it that after so many years, I have worked so hard, and the result is still like this?" Although Li Longji's voice was quite calm, there was a raging fire in his tone.

"During this time, I tried to accept the life that might be in the future, but all it gave me was endless fear."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Your harem is like an abyss, and I am afraid that once I step into it, I will fall into it and lose myself from there. Once I give up everything and become one of the harems, once one day, I lose your feelings, then what do I have in my hands, and what can I live with in the future? I don't want to bet everything just to be sure of this one outcome. If I fail, I'm doomed. ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
