Although it is not as good as Dongshi, no matter how Wu Guanyue looks like the Empress of Zetian, it is not after all. Xiao Jiangyuan knew this, and she also understood that she didn't want to help Wu Guanyue, not only because of this, but also because he-

Her family Ah Lang, Li Longji.

Indeed, if she helps Wu Guanyue, not only will there be no tangible benefits for her family Ah Lang at the moment, but in the long run, once the concubine is involved in the big dispute in the future, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court. But since when did she become so loyal to him?

Wu Guanyue is not Empress Zetian, and her family Ah Lang is only one of Empress Zetian's many grandsons, in her mind, no one is as good as Empress Zetian. How could she leave Empress Zetian behind so early and so quickly, and even Wu Guanyue, who was six or seven points similar to Empress Zetian, couldn't mention any intention of helping?

Her family Ah Lang is not a person who will delay his career for the sake of affection, so even if he has a preference for Wu Guanyue, he will not easily shake the position of **, let alone let the Wu daughter regain the throne. Probably because she is also this kind of person, she knows this better, since she knows that helping Wu Guanyue will not have any good results, and it may also provoke her family's Ah Lang to dislike her and ruin her good future, so she refuses to help?

But if Wu Guanyue is the Empress of Heaven, Xiao Jiangyuan also knows that she won't get any benefits from making a move, and she will even harm herself, will she still choose to stand by and watch?

"Ah Yuan? Ah Yuan?! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan immediately came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at the person who called him: "What is the matter with King Xue calling slaves?" ”

In order to avoid the name of the Empress Dowager Zhaocheng and the name of the Son of Heaven, the four brothers have changed their names, Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi are now Li Xian and Li Yu, and Li Longfan and Li Longye are Li Ye and Li Fan. On this day, Li Longji summoned all his brothers into the palace to accompany him and have a common lunch.

Li Ye found Xiao Jiangyuan thoughtful from the beginning, although everything was still orderly and nothing went wrong, even if she was pondering, it was mostly when several brothers didn't notice her, but he still found out. He looked left and right, and found that when he seemed to be the only one who found out that Xiao Jiangyuan was wrong, he was a little happy in his heart.

Taking advantage of Xiao Jiangyuan's excuse to retreat under the pretext that someone from the Inner Servant Province was looking for, Li Ye also claimed that he wanted to change his clothes, and he slipped out. After seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan finished talking to some eunuchs, he stood still for a long time, and Li Ye walked up to Xiao Jiangyuan.

"Why are you stunned? You have been like this since you were in the temple just now. Li Yedao.

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled lightly: "The slave maid just had some doubts in her heart, and she couldn't think clearly for a while. ”

Li Ye thought that Xiao Jiangyuan would be as usual, although polite but also very perfunctory to say to himself that it was okay, listening to Xiao Jiangyuan actually start to share his own affairs with him, his joy was about to gush out of his heart in an instant. If he didn't know that Xiao Jiangyuan still had doubts that he couldn't solve, he would have laughed out loud.

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh vividly: "That...... You...... Ah Yuan can talk to me, although I am not as smart as a few brothers...... Except for the fourth brother, I don't know if I can answer, but at least, I must be tight-lipped. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Li Ye steadily, and agreed for some reason. I have to say that every time she intersects with Li Ye, she is really completely relaxed, she doesn't have to think about anything, she is comfortable from the inside out, and she is comfortable all over her body, which even Empress Zetian has never given - who let Empress Zetian always make fun of her.

Li Ye followed Xiao Jiangyuan to the Inner Service Province, and when he saw that Xiao Jiangyuan did not stop until the place where the fire was before, his heart trembled slightly. He can't forget that night in his life, and when he first thought about it, he would be angry with Xiao Jiangyuan, but gradually, his self-blame increased. He almost lost two very important people at once, and it was also on that night that he suddenly realized something.

Turning his head and seeing Xiao Jiangyuan staring at the rebuilt palace on the fire ground without saying a word, Li Ye suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and snorted lightly: "You are not allowed to bring me here again in the future." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan turned his head sideways: "Speaking of which, the slave maid has not officially apologized to King Xue. ”

"Don't, don't, don't!" Li Ye hurriedly waved his hand, "You are not allowed to apologize to me in your life!" ”

Seeing that Li Ye's reaction was suddenly so intense, Xiao Jiangyuan was a little puzzled: "What does King Xue mean by this?" ”

Li Ye lowered his head: "It's good that you live well, don't kill or die at every turn, what kind of apology or not apology, how can someone's life matter?" Seeing what Xiao Jiangyuan was going to say, he said, "Didn't you say that you have doubts, there is no one else here, you hurry up." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't cry or laugh for a while, so he had to obediently say the knot in Fang Cai's heart simply and vaguely. Li Ye listened very carefully, thinking how difficult it was, but it turned out to be like this. He looked at Xiao Jiangyuan in surprise and said, "You can't figure it out so simple?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was also a little surprised: "I still hope that King Xue will teach me." ”

Since he was a child, this is the first time that someone has asked him to teach, Li Ye suddenly felt that he was responsible for teaching and solving doubts with others, and he couldn't help but stand up a lot, but he raised his head and said: "Aren't you the third brother's staff very early?" Then you are loyal to the third brother, this is right, and you don't hate it, do you? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded.

Li Ye spread his hands and said, "Isn't this right?" You are loyal to the third brother, loyalty is loyalty, I have only heard of loyalty and disloyalty, how can there be any degree of difference? Grandmother is very powerful, you once served her, but I am afraid that no matter who the followers are in the future, you will feel inferior to her, but there is no way, just look at the world, who can surpass her in achievements? It's just that your grandmother has passed away, and you can no longer be loyal to her, and the person who is alive now is the third brother, and the third brother is the third brother, he is not a grandmother, and he will not be a second grandmother. ”

"As for you saying that you don't have any feelings for Concubine Wu Xian......," Li Ye said and thought about it again, frowned, "I don't really understand this, should you have any feelings for her?" She's very much like a grandmother, but she's not, in comparison, shouldn't you have feelings for the third brother? ”

The meaning of this sentence is far different from the previous few simple sentences.

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled and froze: "The slave understands, thank you King Xue." ”

"You don't understand." Li Ye's eyebrows were very serious, "You see everything too clearly, especially yourself, and sometimes once you don't think as expected, you will be entangled." It's so hurtful, and you're not afraid of hurting your body? Your will is no longer the most important thing, because many times, people will lie to themselves and will rest on their laurels, but the body will not, let alone the heart. You still have to learn from me...... Hey, Ah Yuan, where are you going? Wait for me! ”

Xiao Jiangyuan turned around and walked away quickly, and Li Ye didn't know when she learned such a hard skill, was there too much work in the internal service province, or was there always someone asking her to run errands? It's too much, why don't the people at the bottom know to share her worries, she is the inner attendant, and the errands should be done by the small ones, and when she arrives at the inner service province for a while, he must help her establish a prestige.

Thinking like this, he fell a few more steps, Li Ye hurriedly chased after him, entered the house of the Inner Servant Province, looked up and looked up, and Fang Cai's thoughts immediately drifted out of the clouds: "...... Second cousin? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan bowed and saluted: "King Lijie is well." ”

Xue Chongjian was originally facing away from them, and was looking up at the plaque of the Inner Servant Province, and when he heard the voice, he turned sideways and said, "Xiao Neijian is polite." ”

Seeing that Xue Chongjian was so calm and awkward, not at all as open-minded as before, Li Ye's heartstrings tightened, and he walked to Xue Chongjian's side with a smile: "Second cousin, why are you here?" It's been a long time since I've seen you. You said that I often come to the palace to eat with the third brother, you have lived in the palace since the third brother was the prince, why can't I see you all the time? You didn't come out to see me and other brothers, shouldn't you think I'm a brother? I miss you, when will we have time to bow together? ”

Xue Chongjian's eyes looked at Li Ye's deliberate laughter gently, and there was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, but in an instant, it turned into complete firmness. He glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, then lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on the ground with a "bang" on his knees: "Chongjian is here, ask Xiao Neijian for one thing, I hope Xiao Neijian must agree, otherwise Chongjian can't kneel!" ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
