"But why are you sure I'm going to change my mind? Because of those concubines of mine, because of Cao Ji? ”

"It's because I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the midst of gains and losses." After speaking, Xiao Jiangyuan got up and solemnly bowed to Li Longji, "The minister begs everyone to free the minister from this bottomless karma." ”

Outside, there was a wind blowing the branches and leaves in the courtyard, and the sound was chaotic and disorganized.

The house was so quiet that it could be heard, but it was like a lake that had been quiet for many years, and it was suddenly discovered that the source came from the Yangtze River, and the flow was to the ocean.

Li Longji stared at Xiao Jiangyuan's figure steadily, and was silent for a long time before chuckling: "It turns out that my feelings for you are bottomless karma for you?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan didn't answer, Li Longji closed his eyes: "You are willing to go to the fire for me, but you don't want to give me a little more trust...... Is marrying me really that hard for you? ”

"Isn't this difficult for everyone? A eunuch beside everyone has turned into a concubine, so many people have seen the minister, what will the civil and military officials think when the time comes, and what will the people of the world think? Everyone is a wise man, how can it be so ridiculous? ”

"Who dares to call me ridiculous?"

"Regardless of whether everyone can't block the world's mouths, if you want to do this, it's harder than climbing to the sky."

"I'll leave it all to me!"

"A minister is a courtier who is loyal to everyone, how can he ignore everyone's reputation for his own selfish feelings?"

"Your excuses are really endless, if I still have rebuttals, do you want to say next, you don't want to become an imperial couple with me, because of the lessons of the past, I don't want you and I to be irretrievable in this life?"

“…… Everybody, Shengming. ”

"You ......"

"If you still can't understand, the minister will ask like this, are you willing to give up this great country and throne for the sake of the minister?"

Li Longji was puzzled: "...... Why should I give up? ”

"That's it." Xiao Jiangyuan was not surprised that Li Longji would have such an answer, and even what she hoped for.

This is the monarch she follows, the true dragon son of heaven to whom the destiny of heaven returns.

"There is no contradiction between personal feelings and the country, the minister just wants everyone to know that the throne of the country is to everyone, just as the identity of this male eunuch is to the minister. If the minister wants to give up all this, it is to give up the life of the minister. ”

"But we already have a baby, where are you going to put it?"

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan bowing and being silent for a long time, Li Longji suddenly became uneasy.

He finally remembered that Xiao Jiangyuan's face was a little pale tonight, and when he spoke just now, his voice was also a little trembling, he originally thought that she was the same as himself, she was suppressed and choked, but when she thought about it, it was not quite right. Seeing that her body also trembled slightly, he hurriedly helped her up, but saw her frowning, gritting her teeth and bearing a great pain.

Then he saw that there was already a patch of scarlet under her.

As if his hands were burned, Li Longji immediately let go of Xiao Jiangyuan's body and staggered back from the couch.

With great difficulty, he stood still, after brushing off all the furnishings on the table.

Han Si and Lu Yunniang, who were outside the door, heard the sound and immediately rushed in and gathered around the couch.

Li Longji slowed down for a long time before he asked knowingly: "What did she do?" ”

Lu Yunniang didn't know Xiao Jiangyuan's plans for tonight at first. She just saw Han Si decocting the medicine himself for the first time, and Xiao Jiangyuan, who had always been very happy to drink medicine, also stared at the medicine bowl for a while before drinking it with a smile. She sensed that something was wrong, so she followed Han Si to the outside of Xiao Jiangyuan's bedroom.

Now that she knew what was going on, she couldn't say anything in the face of Li Longji, whose face was as pale as paper.

Han Si knelt down while diagnosing Xiao Jiangyuan's pulse: "The grass people are guilty, it was the grass people who prescribed a dose of medicine for General Xiao and relieved her of this trouble. ”

"You're bold!" Li Longji was furious.

"The grass people accepted the last orders of Prince Hui Xuan, and only obeyed General Xiao's orders, and did not dare to ask the sage for forgiveness. After rescuing General Xiao, the grass people were left to the disposal of the saint. As soon as the words fell, Han Si wondered, "No......

At the same time, Lu Yunniang also exclaimed: "Blood ...... The bleeding doesn't stop! ”

"What's going on?" Li Longji asked.

Han Si was puzzled: "Why is there a ...... Bloody Avatar? ”

Blood collapse is the natural enemy of almost all women when they have a miscarriage or childbirth, and once it happens, it is difficult to save their lives.

Li Longji immediately grabbed Han Si's collar and almost lifted him up: "Aren't you a skilled doctor?" This medicine is so dangerous, how dare you give it to her? ”

"Whether the saint believes it or not, the medicine prescribed by the grass people for General Xiao has minimized the degree of injury, and even if there is some reaction, it will never be like this. This matter is quite strange, and I also asked the sage to let the grass people save General Xiao first, and then it is not too late to interrogate! ”

Lu Yunniang also persuaded: "The saint should wait in the main hall first, and if there is a result, the concubine will be the first to tell the saint." ”

After saying that, she was bold, broke Li Longji's hand, and then pushed him outside the house.

The moment the door closed, Li Longji felt that his heart was empty.

Maybe he should hate her, hate her stubbornness and selfishness, hate her for not being able to hold back to him after all.

But at this moment, the only thing he insists on is that she is alive.

She can't die, she has to live.

Even though he was rich in the world and the glory of the sky, he also lost too much. Even if she was not hateful in every way, he didn't want to lose her forever.

He would not and would not allow it.

Inside the house, while listening to what Han Si said and stopping the bleeding for Xiao Jiangyuan, Lu Yunniang kept wiping her tears and made herself into a big face.

Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to reach out and wipe it, but he couldn't lift it. She could feel that most of her strength was drained by the lost blood, but she still tried to say, "Don't cry......"

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was so painful that he was almost unconscious, and he was still coaxing himself, Lu Yunniang was anxious and angry: "What did you promise me?" Why are you so disobedient? ”

"If not...... I'm going to shake ......"

Lu Yunniang burst into tears: "Why don't you cry, why don't you never cry?" This kid ...... After all, it's your own flesh and blood...... Are you not as sad as the saints? ”

“…… Maybe that's the case. ”

Lu Yunniang was puzzled, so she heard Xiao Jiangyuan ask:

“…… What is a close relative? ”

Lu Yunniang knew that Xiao Jiangyuan was asking seriously, but she really didn't know.

Thinking that she was less than five years old when she was a child, she had long forgotten which family she was from, and she had never felt the so-called family ties or the warmth of her relatives. Where did she know what it meant to be close to each other, and what it was like?

Lu Yunniang knelt on the edge of Xiao Jiangyuan's collapse, held Xiao Jiangyuan's hand tightly, and forced a smile: "From now on, I will be your closest relative." ”

Li Longji kept watch outside Xiao Jiangyuan's house all night.

When the morning drum sounded, the door finally opened. Han Si walked out and bowed to Li Longji and said, "General Xiao's bleeding has stopped, but after all, he is bleeding too much and is falling asleep. Whether they will wake up or when they will wake up, the grass people can't be sure. Even if General Xiao wakes up, this life ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again. The grass people are incompetent, and they ask the saint to condemn them. ”

Li Longji was at a loss for a while, and then slowly said after he realized what he meant: "...... If it is her intention, what is the use of punishing you? ”

"The grass people thank the Holy Grace, and they must find out the cause of this medicine and the murderer as soon as possible......"

"I'll leave it to you." Li Longji didn't want to listen anymore, "If something is found, when she wakes up, let her deal with it herself." ”

Seeing that Li Longji had a lot more gray hair overnight, Han Si lowered his head and finally sighed.

"Take good care of her." After Li Longji finished speaking, he got up, left the mansion, and also left Yishanfang.

In early summer, the sky is just right, the guest house is green, and the breeze is blowing.

The street was very lively, but Li Longji was in the red dust, but he didn't realize it.

After returning to Xingqing Palace, he drank all the spirits from Chunxiangfang.

In the past five or six days, he not only missed another early court, but also temporarily canceled a big court meeting, Li Linfu felt that there was nothing he could do about it, so he went to invite King Ning over.

If there is anyone in this world who can persuade the Son of Heaven, except for Xiao Jiangyuan, there is only King Ning, the eldest brother of the Son of Heaven.

As soon as King Ning stepped into the Nanxun Palace, he was smoky with a burst of wine. Seeing that there was no one in the hall to serve, he was puzzled at first, and when he searched in the dormitory to no avail, but found Li Longji in Xiao Jiangyuan's room, he understood the secret.

I think that his third brother is so frustrated, it is also for her.

But he didn't expect that things would turn out like this—that she could cruelly fall into her own child?

He disagreed, but understood. It's no wonder that his third brother is sad to be like this.

"And how is she now?" King Ning asked gently.

Li Longji shook his head: "I don't know...... I haven't seen it, and I haven't sent anyone to ask. ”

"Don't drink it yet, when you wake up tomorrow, can you accompany your eldest brother to take a look?"

"No, no."

"After all, there was an old friend, and we had a deep friendship back then, and now there are only three of us left."

Hearing what King Ning said, Li Longji nodded.

In the past five or six days, Yishanfang has not been able to be idle in the house. In addition to taking care of Xiao Jiangyuan, Lu Yunniang also investigated the matter of the medicine with Han Si and found that there was indeed something more in the medicine residue. But this medicine was fried by Han Si himself, and it was sent to Xiao Jiangyuan by Lu Yunniang, and then coaxed by Jing Zhong, who could have the opportunity to add something to it?

Lu Yunniang was taking hot water, planning to wipe Xiao Jiangyuan's body, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Jingzhong sitting in front of Xiao Jiangyuan's couch, chanting words. As soon as she was about to step in, she heard Jing Zhong say:

"Master...... I really didn't mean to......"

She immediately retreated, silent, holding her breath.

"I just saw that Master was worried about that child, and I wanted to help Master, I didn't know that you were already planning to do without that child, and I didn't expect that bowl of medicine to be ...... I didn't expect that because of me, that bowl of medicine almost killed the master! Master, wake up quickly...... I really didn't mean to...... But that's fine, from now on, Master will never have to worry about it again, and he will not conceive that man's child again, and that man will not get involved with you again......"

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
