When Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Li Longji, Yang Yuhuan was also looking at her San Lang.

Yang Yuhuan thought at first that there was such a big movement outside the house, I was afraid that the rebels were chasing the soldiers, but he didn't want to be in the nest. learned that Yang Guozhong, as the prime minister of a country, was killed by angry soldiers, so she knew more or less the fate of the other Yang family. Before she had time to be surprised and sad, she heard those people outside the house who didn't know her say that they wanted her to die with Yang Guozhong!

Unconvinced, she rushed out of the inner room to argue with them, but was stopped by Ah Shuang. As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard Xiao Jiangyuan's words.

No matter how clearly Xiao Jiangyuan said it, she could understand it, but she couldn't agree with it. At this moment, she heard what Li Longji said to the crown prince.

She looked at Li Longji's back in a daze, and all her sorrow, fear, anger and unwillingness disappeared for a while. It was as if she was in a dream, as if she hadn't heard anything clearly, her eyes were full of crystal clear tears, and she was also smiling.

Her eyes as she stared at Li Longji were full of unbelievable surprises, like a blazing fire tree and silver flowers, which could not be extinguished for a long time.

Hearing Li Longji's words, the prince hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Why did my father say this? As a minister and son of man, he never dares to be rebellious, and he hopes that his father will know it! ”

"I don't dare to have a rebellious heart, so if at this time, I insist on passing this throne to you, and I don't need you to rebel, this throne ...... Do you dare to take it? Seeing that the prince was silent for a long time, Li Longji said sharply, "Do you dare?!" ”

The prince's forehead was heavy against the ground: "Son...... Can't. ”

When the prince gave in, Wei Ge immediately woke up, let go of the arms holding Li Longji, took two steps back on his knees, and bowed his head. After the impulse, all the soldiers were a little weak-hearted, and they all quieted down.

As long as Li Longji agreed to kill the concubine, Long Wuwei, as the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, did not want to really be the most heinous traitor. But if Li Longji refuses, then in order to save his life, they can only ignore it.

Li Longji knew this, and he also understood that what Xiao Jiangyuan said just now was not wrong. The so-called rebellion against Yang Guozhong is just an excuse to kill him, and Yang Yuhuan's innocence is not a reason to save her.

He was at his wit's end.

When he spoke again, his voice was a little vain: "The matter of the concubine...... Let's talk about it later, let me think about it again. ”

As soon as Li Longji turned around, he saw Yang Yuhuan quietly looking at him in the room.

Xiao Jiangyuan closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw Li Longji hurriedly walking up to Yang Yuhuan, muttering over and over again: "I won't let you die......"

As if to prove something.

Yang Yuhuan looked up, stretched out his hand and smoothed the frown in Li Longji's eyebrows: "...... I believe in Saburo. ”

Seeing Li Longji looking at himself steadily, Yang Yuhuan smiled lightly and yawned: "They still have the strength to make noise, but I'm sleepy and tired, and I'm going back to rest." San Lang has just dealt with them, he must be tired, why don't we go into the house and lie down together? ”

Li Longji couldn't see any sadness or dissatisfaction on Yang Yuhuan's face, as if she hadn't heard anything just now. He was in a big mood at this time, so he just thought that Yang Yuhuan didn't know anything about the outside world, lest she would ask herself for a while, and said, "I have some other things to deal with, you can go back first." ”

Yang Yuhuan turned around, but suddenly felt that his wrist was tight, and it was Li Longji who suddenly reached out and held it. She could feel the force on her wrist sometimes heavy and sometimes light, as contradictory and hesitant as his state of mind at this time.

He wanted to keep her, but he was afraid that it would hurt her.

Yang Yuhuan stared at it for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and tiptoed to kiss Li Longji's face. She kept her eyes down, and the smile on her lips did not decrease, as if she was just shy: "I really want to go back, you let go quickly, Ah Yuan is still watching......"

Li Longji slowly let go of his hand and watched Yang Yuhuan leave.

The clock ticked and night fell. The officials in charge of the diet finally found some food and water, but there was still no peace outside the inn.

Yang Yuhuan did not lie on the couch to make up for sleep. Since entering the inner room, she has been choosing clothes and jewelry, and finally chose a set of red shirts and dresses, and asked Ah Shuang to comb her peony bun again: "No way, there are no peonies here, so I had to make up for it." ”

Ah Shuang has been following Yang Yuhuan. What happened outside and what Yang Yuhuan was facing, she knew it. She never spoke, only followed Yang Yuhuan's wishes, and kept coaxing Yang Yuhuan to be happy: "This group of heads is the most magnificent, when the concubine was canonized, she refused to follow the old etiquette and wear the old clothes, isn't this group?" ”

Yang Yuhuan nodded again and again: "Okay, that's it." ”

By this year, Yang Yuhuan was thirty-eight years old. Every time she thinks of her age, she always has palpitations. At this time, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but caress her cheeks: "Am I old?" ”

"Don't touch the powder you just wiped." Ah Shuang directly slapped Yang Yuhuan's hand away, "In Ah Shuang's heart, the concubine will never get old." ”

"It's rare for you to be so good at talking."

After putting on the makeup, Yang Yuhuan stood up and took a turn: "How is it?" ”

Nianhua did not leave traces of carving on Yang Yuhuan's face, and Yang Yuhuan has never given birth, and her posture has always been the same as that of a girl. Even if her appearance makes people see too much, she won't feel tired, even if she is also a woman, Ah Shuang, at this time, she can't help but be moved.

It's summer now, the windows are open, and the occasional firefly flies by, with a little star-like light. Yang Yuhuan could hear the chirping of cicadas and frogs outside the house, and his mood gradually calmed down. She was facing away from the window, waiting for Ah Shuang to praise herself, but she saw Ah Shuang only looking at her in a daze, and she didn't speak for a long time.

She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ah Shuang's eyes, before she hooked Ah Shuang's soul back:

"Concubine, look at ......"

Following Ah Shuang's point, Yang Yuhuan turned around.

Torches have been lit outside the window for lighting. Under the light of the moonlight and the firelight, Yang Yuhuan saw a familiar figure, standing in the courtyard outside the window, staring at himself stupidly.

Yang Yuhuan also looked at him in a daze.

His appearance is still quite beautiful, and his temperament is still quiet, only a little more mature between his eyebrows and eyes. He also grew a beard, but he looked a little messy at the moment, and he didn't rest well in the past two days.

Did he hear about her and wanted to take her away?

Why are they still as clumsy and stupid as before, Princess Xianyi and his princess don't stop it.

Yang Yuhuan was surprised by his realization. If this was before, his mind, she couldn't figure it out.

Shou Wang looked at Yang Yuhuan quietly.

He could see at a glance that she had hardly changed in appearance or temperament, and if he had to say anything, it was that she was more beautiful than before.

Once upon a time, he couldn't understand her mind with all his might, but now, without any words, he understands what she means.

Why today? Why can't it be a few days later?

He couldn't bear to refuse her, both before and now. Therefore, he could only look at her from afar as he had done when he first saw her, and then salute her from afar.

Yang Yuhuan also remembered the first encounter in the Agarwood Pavilion, slowly picked up a smile, and blessed King Shou.

"Close the window." After the salute, Yang Yuhuan turned around and didn't look out the window again, "Ah Shuang, I still have some good things here, and I'll give them to you now." ”

The window was closed by Ah Shuang, and there was a soft "bang".

"I won't leave you!" Ah Shuang hurriedly walked up to Yang Yuhuan and said seriously, "I have been with you since I was a child, I have been with you all my life, I am used to it, and no one can change me." If you die, I will die with you!" ”

"Can't you listen to me once......"

"I can listen to you for everything, but this is not the case."

Yang Yuhuan was about to say something more, but he heard a knock on the door. Ah Shuang just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw Xiao Jiangyuan outside the door, her heart rose again.

Seeing that it was Xiao Jiangyuan, Yang Yuhuan was not surprised at all: "I knew you would come." ”

Half an hour later, the soldiers began to stir again. In desperation, Chen Xuanli had no choice but to ask Li Longji about the concubine on behalf of the soldiers, but before Li Longji could speak, Xiao Jiangyuan said: "After thinking deeply, the sage thought that what the soldiers said was reasonable, so he ordered the concubine to be killed. Now that the body of the concubine is in the room, you can follow Xiao to verify the body. ”

Until he saw Yang Yuhuan dressed up but lifeless, Li Longji couldn't believe his ears and eyes.

The crown prince and Li Fuguo followed Li Longji. Seeing the strangulation marks on Yang Yuhuan's neck, the prince asked, "Ah Weng, didn't the concubine hang herself?" ”

Now that the white silk has been given, it is not the same as hanging. This is not only to leave a whole corpse, but also to give sinners the dignity and right to commit suicide.

Xiao Jiangyuan replied: "Back to Your Highness, the saint is wise and ordered the old slave to be executed in person." ”

Li Longji looked at Xiao Jiangyuan with horizontal eyebrows, his eyes were surging, and his fists were clenched instantly.

Chen Xuanli breathed a sigh of relief, and led the army to kneel and said, "The saint is wise! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

For a while, the sound of long live surrounded all directions, almost wanting to break through the sky.

As a concubine of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan's funeral ceremony was very sloppy and simple, but a roll of straw mats, not even a decent tombstone, could only be replaced by a wooden board. Ah Shuang was buried not far from Yang Yuhuan.

Li Longji bent his back and knelt in front of these two brand-new tombs, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Yuhuan...... Did you really kill it with your own hands? ”

“…… Be. Xiao Jiangyuan confessed.

Li Longji's heart fell hard, and he pulled out an unbearable sharp pain. He slowly stood up, a little unsteady. Xiao Jiangyuan stepped forward to help, but he raised his arm and waved. Her knee hurt, she didn't stand firmly, she fell directly to the ground, and it took a long time to stand up.

Li Longji's eyes were scarlet, and his tone was unprecedentedly cold: "Do you think that you are sharing my worries for me, not only without fault, but even with merit?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan solemnly crossed his hands and said, "Yes." ”

"You've always been like this, you've never ......changed," Li Longji chuckled suddenly, but two lines of tears crossed his cheeks, "In order to get the result you want, you can kill your own flesh and blood without hesitation, even your own life, how can you not manipulate it?" What is Yuhuan's life, and what is my life? In your eyes, I am the emperor, the power, and the tool that can achieve all your goals! I have no true feelings, no feelings, that's why you never care, hurt me again and again, from skin to flesh, from blood to marrow! Did you really admire me? Do you admire me, or do you have the power I can bring to you? My life...... Why exactly did I meet you? ”

"Everyone misunderstood ......"

Li Longji immediately grabbed Xiao Jiangyuan's arm and walked in front of him. Xiao Jiangyuan's cuffs immediately fell, revealing her empty wrists.

"You've finally solved ......," Li Longji smiled miserably, "It seems that you have found the next lord?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan, who had been standing with his head down, suddenly raised his eyes.

Only then did Li Longji see clearly that Xiao Jiangyuan's face was as pale as snow.

At this moment, she did not have a consistent calmness and indifference, even indifference, her eyebrows and eyes were full of deep weakness and exhaustion, like a dry well.

Li Longji was about to say something, when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan lifting his robe and kneeling on the ground, leaning over and bowing his head:

"Your Majesty, please give me death."
