"It's a matter of rambling again, General Chen said that you are not happy, I really didn't say it wrong at all......" Rong Niang began to talk endlessly, and the topic was incoherent and very jumpy.

In the past few months, she has always been like this, as if she has been holding back a lot of words over the years. Some words had obviously been repeated several times, but Wang Chengen still sat beside her silently, listening carefully as if he had never heard them. In the past, Rong Niang didn't have much consciousness, but tonight, somehow, she suddenly asked, "Why do you never listen and don't speak?" ”

"Because...... You like to talk. ”

"What about you?"

"I ......," Wang Chengen lowered his head, "I like to listen to you." ”

"That's not what you said before."

"That's because you were really overdoing it before...... But but then it didn't! ”

“…… I said alone, it's boring. ”

"That'...... I'll accompany you? ”

In front of the Divine Dragon Palace, Li Longji got up and put on a big coat for Xiao Jiangyuan, and suddenly sneezed.

Xiao Jiangyuan pulled Li Longji to sit beside him, and just wanted to divide Da Yu in half, he grabbed his hands.

There are no stars tonight, but there is light snow. They tacitly agreed not to say anything, but shrunk together in a large tussle, and sat quietly side by side, watching as the fine snow spread a thin layer in the courtyard, and then was blown away by a gust of wind.

Xiao Jiangyuan always thought about Li Longji's sneeze, whether it was covering the quilt at night or wearing clothes during the day, he had to pay much more attention than before the cold. After a few days, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Longji was not sick.

But she herself had a headache.

She didn't care at first, and helped Wang Chengen repair the swing in the courtyard.

Li Longji sat at the door of the hall, with a low case in front of him, on which he had all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. He used to be good at writing but not good at painting, but now he has nothing to do, and gradually figured out a little way, but unfortunately there is no paint, so everything can only be replaced by ink. Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen, he warmed his hands and continued to draw on the paper.

There is a pomegranate tree in the painting, and there is a swing under the pomegranate tree, and on the swing sits a woman in men's clothes, looking up at the swallow's nest in the tree, with a shallow smile on her lips.

Seeing that the swing was already solid, Wang Chengen climbed down from the tree and was about to go

Help Xiao Jiangyuan, just listen to Xiao Jiangyuan:

"Let's go see how he's doing."

Wang Chengen hurriedly rushed to Li Longji's side, looked down, and bowed his head at Xiao Jiangyuan. Xiao Jiangyuan grabbed the rope on the swing and slowly stood up.

Li Longji was concentrating on the last stroke, and Wang Chengen was also watching seriously, but when they raised their heads again, they found that Xiao Jiangyuan had fallen to the ground!

"Ah Yuan!" Li Longji opened the dwarf case and rushed over.

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't faint, but his head hurt and heavily, and his body instantly lost its strength. She was carried back to the couch by Li Longji, and just wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, but when she saw Li Longji's pale face, she couldn't say anything.

The sound here was too loud, and Rong Niang was also attracted over. Seeing Li Longji's eyebrows frowning, Wang Chengen looked worried, Rong Niang stepped forward and touched Xiao Jiangyuan's forehead, and asked Xiao Jiangyuan a few more questions, and her expression couldn't help but tighten: "It should be from the cold." ”

Wang Chengen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he saw that Xiao Jiangyuan was relaxed and indifferent, while Li Longji and Rong Niang still looked worried. He just wanted to ask something, but was dragged outside the hall by Rong Niang: "Since it's just a cold wind, why are you still ......?"

"Are you stupid?" Rong Niang poked Wang Chengen's head fiercely, "Maybe for you in the past, a wind chill was not a big deal, but in the past ten years in Taiji Palace, I have seen a lot of palace eunuchs who died only by wind and cold." There are no healers here, and there is no medicine, so if you get sick, you will die! What's more, how old is she, a random minor illness can kill her! ”

Wang Chengen has been in the palace since he was a child, and the internal service province at that time was already under the control of Xiao Jiangyuan, and many injustices were not allowed to happen, so when he was a little eunuch, he hardly suffered much. It wasn't until this moment that he knew that the wind chill would also kill people.

As long as he saw the master, he would feel at ease, and he couldn't imagine that the master would die one day, so he panicked: "

My master has been working all his life so that he will not be dragged down by such a minor illness! I'm going out, looking for Princess Yuzhen, looking for Princess Hezheng, and I'm going to invite the healer in at night no matter what! ”

Wang Chengen was naturally stopped by the soldiers outside the door. Seeing that the soldiers showed off their swords, Rong Niang hurriedly pulled Wang Chengen back: "Even I can't get out, who do you think you are?" ”

"So what to do......

"I'll try some of the methods used by the predecessors in the palace first, and I hope it works." Seeing the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones scattered all over the place in front of the hall gate, Rong Niang squatted down and picked up the painting, "What a good painting, it's just ruined." ”

"When the master is ready, the emperor will still draw it for the master."

In the past few days, Xiao Jiangyuan has been obedient to Li Longji, no matter what strange things Rong Niang brings, as long as Li Longji tastes it first, she will obediently drink it all. But perhaps because she is old and her body is far worse than before, not only did her illness not improve in the slightest, but she also started a high fever.

Wang Chengen wanted to serve Xiao Jiangyuan to cool down, but he was immediately driven aside by Rong Niang - Master...... It's a woman?!

He stood outside the heavy gauze curtain in a daze, and before he came back to his senses, he heard Rong Niang's urgent calls from the curtain.

Li Longji immediately rushed in and held Xiao Jiangyuan, who was in a coma, tightly in his arms.

"Rong Niang......" Li Longji's voice was low and hoarse, "Is there really no other way?" ”

Rong Niang's gaze was a little evasive: "...... Don't wait any longer, it's the end of the year, and a princess may come over in a few days......"

"We can wait, but how can she ......?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Ah Rong, if you still have a way, just say it quickly." ”

"What do you know?" Rong Niang bit her lip, "There are some methods...... He can't use it! ”

Li Longji closed his eyes, as if he had known the answer for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already very firm: "Rong Niang, please come over to Li Kaifu, he probably wanted to see where I am now." ”

Rong Niang had just informed the soldiers outside the door in the morning, and Li Fuguo arrived in the afternoon.

He was dressed in new purple clothes, followed by a team of forbidden soldiers, and he came very majestic. As soon as he saw Xiao Jiangyuan lying on the couch with his eyes closed, his face was bloodless, his eyes were fixed, but his expression was not anxious, only when Shi Shiran sat down, the hand in his sleeve couldn't help but clench.

"It seems...... The Emperor is doing well. Li Fuguo said and glanced at Rong Niang. Seeing that she lowered her head, and Wang Chengen immediately blocked in front of her, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled intriguingly, "I am now in charge of the forbidden army and the government outside, and all the music has to be passed."

I have seen and approved, I still need to take charge of the election at the beginning of the year, I am really busy and lacking skills, if the emperor has any orders, please say it quickly. ”

Li Longji first frowned and relaxed: "The emperor ...... Gave you so much power? ”

At present, Li Fuguo is equivalent to acting as the Son of Heaven, and concurrently serving as the prime minister of a country, and his power is as powerful as the sky, which is not comparable to Xiao Jiangyuan in the past.

"I also want to thank the emperor for fulfilling the saint in Ma Weiyi, so that I can finally have a meritorious service, and I also want to thank the saint for his benevolence, I didn't learn too much about the emperor's coldness - I heard that the courtiers who followed the emperor at the beginning and also had the merit of the dragon didn't end well, right?" Li Fuguo just stated, and did not intend to listen to Li Longji's answer, "Finally, of course, I would like to thank my master, who let me know that being a eunuch is no worse than being a courtier, and even sometimes, it can be safer and closer to power than a courtier." If it weren't for Master's teaching, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no eunuch has ever had such great power, and no one has ever been as rampant and presumptuous as Li Fuguo.

This power is easy to give, but it is difficult to take it back, but this is no longer something that Li Longji needs to consider. The cause planted by the new emperor himself should be left to him and the future emperor to bear fruit, Li Longji can only tolerate one person in his heart now, one thing.

"That being the case, now that Xiao Kaifu is seriously ill, and he asked Li Kaifu to take her out for treatment, it can be regarded as a complete master-apprentice affection."

Li Fuguo suddenly chuckled: "It's rare to hear the emperor speak so politely to me." ”

Seeing that Li Fuguo was not in a hurry, lazy and casual, as if he was lying on the couch

The woman lying on it had nothing to do with it, and Li Longji didn't feel a little anxious: "She has had a high fever since last night, and she asked Li Kaifu to hurry up." ”

"What's the hurry?"

"She's old, she can't delay too much time, or she'll die......"

"Then die."

"She's your master!"

"She's not there anymore!" Li Fuguo's expression instantly turned hideous, with a bit of madness and hatred.

Li Longji always knelt on the edge of Xiao Jiangyuan's collapse, calmly watching Li Fuguo roar angrily, and at the same time ordered someone to transfer Xiao Jiangyuan to the stretcher he had sent.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan's eyebrows furrowed, Li Fuguo stretched out his hand to caress it

Ping, his movements were very gentle, but his words were sharp and cold: "Why do you think that after all these things, I will still care about her as much as before?" Whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with me. If the Emperor doesn't believe me, I can throw her out of the palace and let her freeze to death. ”

“…… What do you really want? ”

"Whatever I want, can the emperor agree?"

"Emperor, don't!" As soon as Wang Chengen spoke, he was knocked to the ground by the forbidden army brought by Li Fuguo. Rong Niang immediately pounced on Wang Chengen and covered his mouth.

Li Longji looked directly at Li Fuguo's gaze: "Yes." ”

"The Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the emperor must always show some sincerity when he asks for people."

“…… Do you want me to beg you? ”

"Otherwise, what else can the emperor offer to bribe me? Not to mention that I don't lack anything, what is left of the emperor except for the dignity of the father of the Son of Heaven? ”

Li Longji stood upright, holding his robe in both hands.

Wang Chengen struggled in Rong Niang's extremely tight arms, and suddenly let out a terrible scream.

Xiao Jiangyuan woke up from his drowsiness at some point, rolled over and rolled off the stretcher, and fell straight on the cold floor tiles.

Li Longji had just stood still facing Li Fuguo when he saw this scene. His pupils shrank suddenly, and his fists clenched instantly.

The heavy snow outside the hall had not stopped, and Xiao Jiangyuan's legs seemed to have lost consciousness. She could only rely on her arms and crawl towards Li Longji little by little, although slowly, without the slightest hesitation.

Li Longji's heart was like a knife, and it took him a long time to take a step. This step seemed to loosen his tight heartstrings, making him forget all his hesitation for a while and go straight to Xiao Jiangyuan. He held her tightly in his arms, only to find that she was becoming more and more detached.

"No...... Don't ......" Xiao Jiangyuan has rarely spoken since he was sick, and his mouth was very hoarse at this time.

Li Longji lowered his head, stroked Xiao Jiangyuan's hot cheeks, smiled gently, and choked like a knife: "But...... I can't save you......"

The lotus silver hairpin has been placed under Xiao Jiangyuan's pillow, and at some point it has returned to her sleeve. She glanced at Li Longji steadily, put the end of the lotus into his palm, wrapped her hands around his hands, and then pointed the sharp blade at her throat: "...... Kill me......"
