When Li Chengqi arrived at the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion yesterday, it was already dark, and the doors of the workshops had been closed and locked, so he stayed in the Zhenguo Princess's Mansion for one night. Not long after he got up in the morning, he entered the palace, and he still had time to visit Li Dan first, and then come to the East Palace......

Meeting Li Dan is a must-do when entering the palace, whether Li Dan sees it or not, so it can be excluded, in this way, Li Chengqi actually came to find Li Longji as soon as he left the Princess Zhenguo Mansion?

Whether it is anyone who has seen or heard that Li Chengqi has gone to the East Palace, they are aware of this, and Li Longji is naturally no exception. Hearing the eldest brother say it so lightly, Li Longji thought about it seriously and said, "The result of the eldest brother's consideration is to tell San Lang about this matter?" ”

In fact, Li Chengqi came to visit Li Longji shortly after bidding farewell to Princess Taiping, and this behavior has already explained the problem. He can speak so innocently and frankly, and it is also because there is no ghost in his heart, it stands to reason that he only needs to explain this matter clearly, but he has to add a sentence "He still wants to think about it", which is what puzzles Li Longji the most.

The "consideration" of the eldest brother must be really considered. Li Longji knew that the eldest brother didn't want to deal with himself, nor did he have too much desire for the throne, so there must be a deep meaning in saying this at this moment. Sure enough, Li Chengqi said: "I came to you, and it was not the final result of consideration. Answer me a question first. ”

"Big brother, let's talk."

"Xiao Nei's body examination, but you single-handedly planned it?"

"Big brother, why is he ...... like this" Li Longji was just about to chuckle, but he was stunned. His smile flickered, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. After a little thought, he understood what the eldest brother meant.

The plan was so much like what he did. From the beginning of Aunt Dongche's attention to Xiao Jiangyuan, to the later step by step to invite the king into the urn, using the public heart of loyal ministers for the country and the people, Xiao Jiangyuan's identity was finalized, and he was extremely innocent and wronged from beginning to end, attracting the sympathy and pity of countless courtiers, after the whole thing passed, the mood of these courtiers will be transformed into reverence and loyalty to the prince.

Someone can doubt himself so much, Li Longji understands very well, after all, he is the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing. If the answer is "yes", the eldest brother may really start thinking about it, and if the answer is "no", it can also remind him - this matter is not completely over, and it can still be revived.

"That's what my aunt said?" Li Longji smiled bitterly, "Big brother, if Saburo said that this time he knew that his aunt was going to deal with him, and he didn't take any countervailing actions, and he was busy with other things, and in this matter, San Lang was really innocent, and almost in the end, he didn't know what was going on, big brother, do you believe it?" ”

This time it was Li Chengqi's turn to be slightly stunned. He pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, and then looked at Li Longji thoughtfully, before nodding. He sighed a little, and said a little helplessly: "San Lang, don't blame Ah Yuan......"

Li Longji just didn't hear it, and said, "Big brother just wants to know, is this matter related to San Lang?" ”

Li Chengqi saw that San Lang didn't want to mention it, so he sighed and said, "I still want to know, what are you going to do next." ”

If it is Yi Xiao Jiangyuan, it must be to strike while the iron is hot, chase after it, and let Li Dan completely investigate Princess Taiping, if he can give death, it will be the best. In this way, isn't it once and for all, and you don't have to face such characters and crises again? However, her family Ah Lang didn't think so: "Let everything end here." It's over, and I'm not going to kill my aunt, but I also hope that she won't go too far, and leave a little room and a way out, both for me and for herself. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was a little unwilling and felt a pity here, but Li Chengqi smiled warmly: "That's right." ”

"It's just ......," Li Longji muttered.

Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Chengqi both looked at Li Longji at the same time, and listened to him: "When she shouldn't have done anything, she asked her eldest brother to enter the mansion to talk about it, and the palace already knows everything about it, so the courtiers won't know too late, the earliest is this afternoon." My aunt did something extremely inappropriate, I was afraid that I would fall into the mouth, and the imperial history was still worse, and Yao Xianggong and Song Xianggong would not be polite. I can't stop this. ”

Li Chengqi said: "Even so, my aunt will not be punished too severely, at least she will never die." The road is still long, this is just the beginning, my aunt is destined to be short-lived, no matter how beautiful it is, how long can it continue to be beautiful? She's going to retire sooner or later, but she hasn't figured it out yet. Aunt is Aye's only remaining mother's compatriot in this world, no matter how big a mistake she makes, even if Aya is punished on the surface, she is still distressed in her heart. ”

Li Longji bowed: "I understand what the eldest brother means." ”

"Then I can take my leave."

"Big brother and slow!" Li Longji hurriedly said, and was about to continue to say something, when he suddenly saw Xiao Jiangyuan still beside him, and lowered his face, "You go down." ”

Fang Cai still didn't let himself go, and now he took the initiative to let her retreat? Her family Ah Lang is so moody and has a tendency to be a tyrant...... Xiao Jiangyuan was helpless and a little worried, but he retreated very calmly on the surface.

The rest of the eunuch palace people were also rejected by Li Longji, and only Li Longji and Li Chengqi remained in the palace. The two brothers sat opposite each other, just as they had in the Five Kings' Mansion in the past. At first, Li Longji only cooked tea silently, and then served it to his eldest brother himself, but he stopped talking several times. In the end, Li Chengqi reluctantly said: "Ah Yuan is doing this, you are very angry?" ”

Li Longji almost blurted out: "Why am I angry? After reacting, he retracted again, as if he didn't care about the authentic words, "But what can that be?" How I feel, how I feel, what I think, whether I am happy or sad is never in her mind. She only thinks about what happened and what the outcome will bring to herself, what it will bring to me, but she never asks me if I need it, whether I want it. ”

Li Longji sighed: "I don't know when my situation has been so critical. The ministers are still facing me, my aunt is just a small fight, which can endanger my crown prince's position, but which prince is really deposed because of those things? Besides, the rumors are now clearly rumored that there is more ambiguity between me and her, and it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its power has long been greatly weakened, and it can't hurt me. Scandals and good stories are just a thought, what should the people think, it's not a matter of a few words and a wave of the hand of a politician? Why do you have to do everything like this, and don't hesitate to risk your life to lure your aunt into the game, and then catch them all? Is she really just me? ”

If the situation was really critical, it would be impossible for him to think about marrying Xiao Jiangyuan. For Li Longji, in fact, business is still paramount, he made such a mess before, telling Xiao Jiangyuan again and again that he wanted to marry her, but it was because what Princess Taiping did was still within his control, and what Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to do was beyond his control.

"Nope." Li Longji shook his head, "She is for herself, but she has never considered me for this." Now it's okay, after this incident, she will be the real eunuch, this identity will be known and believed by the whole world from now on, and no one will doubt her again, even if she enters and exits the court in the future with women's makeup, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”

"San Lang should have heard that there is a saying that 'everyone has his own ambitions'."

"What does the eldest brother mean is that with the skin of a eunuch, this is her ambition?" Li Longji chuckled, "She told me why she had to be a eunuch, and I understood, but I didn't agree with all of them, and I didn't fully understand them. Sometimes, I really don't understand what she is thinking, she clearly wants to confirm her so-called manhood by dealing with her aunt, but she still ...... me"

Seeing that Li Longji couldn't speak, Li Chengqi took a sip of tea lightly and said with a gentle smile: "There is one reason why Ah Yuan insists on his status as a eunuch so much, Ah Yuan is unwilling to restore his status as a woman for you, and even marry you, which is another reason." ”

Li Longji had never thought about it like this, and couldn't help but look at Li Chengqi fixedly without speaking. Li Chengqi continued: "Ah Yuan treats you with such affection, you can't see it on the surface, you can't feel it yourself?" Why is she unwilling to marry you, I don't know this, can't you think of it? ”

“…… I really can't think of it. Li Longji raised his eyebrows and snorted lightly.

"Then I'll leave that question aside for now." Li Chengqi shook his head and said with a smile, "Why does she insist on being a eunuch so much, but I can understand a thing or two." Saburo, let me ask you, have you ever thought about what you would be like with her if Ayuan had appeared in front of you as a woman from the beginning? Will you still notice her, and walk with her little by little? ”

Li Longji thought for a while: "...... I do not know. ”

"So, why do you like her, is it the woman Ah Yuan or the person Ah Yuan that you love?"
