Li Longji thought that Xiao Jiangyuan would be surprised, uneasy, and even a little panicked and struggling, but her eyes just widened a little, and then she didn't know what she remembered, so she returned to her old look. She looked at the man looking down at her like that, and was silent for a long time, but she looked at Li Longji worriedly.

But the emotion has been moved, where can I say that I will accept it. Although Xiao Jiangyuan doesn't understand the customs, it's also because he doesn't understand, isn't it? And he is the only one who can lead her to understand and feel.

Even if he wanted to kiss stubbornly, a pair of Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes hesitated inexplicably.

Well, he admitted, he just didn't dare.

But let him get up like this, he felt unwilling, and at this moment, there was a humane outside the hall: "Qi Sheng, the servant in the cow asks to see." ”

Li Longji let go and got up: "You all come in." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan immediately bounced up from the couch, stood up straight, and saw the door open, Niu Xiantong walked in respectfully, and saluted Li Longji: "Saint Wanfu, Concubine Hui is invited." ”

This time, Xiao Jiangyuan did not follow, but stayed in his own place in the dormitory to deal with the matter of returning to Chang'an. As soon as Li Longji left, Jing Zhong came to her side.

Since Wang Maozhong's death, Jingzhong seems to have matured and grown up a lot, and Xiao Jiangyuan affirmed it, so he handed over some of the things in his hand to Jingzhong's commander, such as many details and tediousness related to returning to Chang'an. Jing Zhong was more careful and well-organized than she thought, and on this day he came to tell her that everything was ready and ready to go.

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "From today onwards, you will also receive the position of stable envoy." ”

Jing Zhong was slightly stunned for a moment, and said, "The apprentice will live up to the master's trust." ”

Of course, he used to be one of Wang Maozhong's positions for the sake of leisure, and his emotions fluctuated a little, but more because he saw the master's appearance today.

It's really strange, Master has always been clean and tidy, why is his sideburns slightly messy today, and ...... Looking unhappy?

If he did something good on weekdays, the master would give him a light smile, which was completely different from the ordinary indifferent and perfunctory kind of light smile, but today there is only one appointment that seems to be rewarding and actually compensating, which is better than nothing.

He suddenly remembered that Li Longji had just gone to Concubine Wu Hui, and when he looked at the slightly messy hair in his master's ears, he felt a tightness in his chest. He immediately pulled Xiao Jiangyuan to the mirror: "Master's hair is messy, let's help Master recomb it again." ”

After Jing Zhong came out of the court, the first thing he learned was to help Xiao Jiangyuan comb his hair. At that time, he didn't have any thoughts, and he was full of respect and respect, until later, he saw the scene that he would never forget, and gained insight into Xiao Jiangyuan's secret. And after Xiao Jiangyuan moved in with Li Longji, he never combed her hair again.

He thought that Xiao Jiangyuan would sit down like he did when he was a child, and let his hands be at the mercy of her hair, but he saw that she broke free of his hands without a trace.

"No, I'll do it myself." Xiao Jiangyuan just wanted to take off his head and put down his long hair, but when he saw that Jingzhong's hand was still in mid-air, he said, "It's time for you to go to the stable." ”

Jing Zhong hurriedly lowered his head and bowed his hand: "Yes, the apprentice will retire." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only see him step by step, just like when he was angry when he was a child. Why is he angry? She suddenly remembered that Lu Yunniang had told herself that she was loyal to herself, not like a disciple to her master, but similar to Li Longji. She listened to it at the time, but she didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until today that she had a little bit of clarity.

Her thoughts lingered on this for only a moment, and then turned elsewhere.

The next day, she scolded Niu Xiantong with 20 canes for conniving at Niu Gui'er for bribing the courtiers, and then rushed to Yang Siqiao, who was out on the expedition, and asked him to make meritorious contributions. Whether or not to make meritorious service is naturally Yang Siqiao's final say, and whether she can return to the palace after meritorious service is up to her. She wanted Niu Xiantong not to come back in his lifetime, and this fell into Yang Siqiao's mind, and it became one word: death.

As for Niu Gui'er, as early as the day of the incident, he was ordered by Li Longji to be punished with a cane of eighty and driven out of the palace.

When Niu Xiantong cried and was dragged away, Princess Xianyi worried: "They said that it was an order from Ah Weng, but how could a thoughtful person like Ah Weng disregard Ah Niang's face and drag people away directly?" I'm afraid it's not ......."

"I'm afraid that's not what you guys meant, right?" Concubine Wu Hui was much calmer, "After the cane is over, send someone to send him some good medicine for the wound, and try not to leave him with the root of the disease." By the way, have Niu Gui'er and his relatives been settled? ”

Princess Xianyi said: "The horse sent someone to send them some wealth and silk, and also sent them back to their hometown, as for Niu Gui'er, he was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will be disabled in this life." ”

"At least survived. It's a good master and servant, and it won't be in vain for us. ”

"Ah Niang is doing this, so she is not afraid that Aya will think that you are against him, are you against him?"

"You still don't know you well enough, since you have been punished, he will not care anymore, but those who have not been punished, he will be angry."

"A-Niang is saying...... Prince? ”

Concubine Wu Hui sighed: "It seems that after returning to Chang'an, there are some things that have to be done quickly. ”

This was the last time Li Longji ate in the eastern capital in his life, and after returning to Chang'an this time, he never came to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

When Li Longji and the others arrived in Chang'an, there were only a few days left before the New Year. The whole Chang'an is busy for the new year, but the East Palace, until the flowers bloom in February, has always been deserted, and even the Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting, Li Longji did not let the crown prince Li Ying attend.

After being abolished twice but not being abolished, and being locked in the East Palace in Luoyang for half a month, the crown prince Li Ying has already figured out a lot of things. He knew that sooner or later he would be deposed, and it was not something he said or did that would make it back. He has always known that he has his father's eyeliner by his side, but since it is useless, why should he be restrained in life?

He began to ignore it, saying what he wanted to say and doing what he wanted to do. He still mingled with Li Yao, the king of Hubei and Li Ju, the king of light, drinking and talking. In the past, in order to hide people's eyes, he also personally went to the West City and South City and other mixed places, but now it is very ridiculous to think about it. The official has not yet entered the market, he is a prince of a country, he wants to drink, and he orders someone to buy it, but he wants to take a breath and say a few words, but no one can do it for him.

He really strictly carried out Concubine Zhao Li's last orders, and forbearance only to protect himself, but Aya was so worried that he refused to let the prince's guards be in his own hands. He, the crown prince, has been in his thirties for twenty-one years, and what does it mean to him that these thousands of days have passed one after another?

He is not even as good as the stupid crown prince Li Chongjun at the beginning! Li Chongjun has the courage to think about it, although he failed, he had to be happy at least once, but what about him? Don't dare to think or do, coward! Even if you want to do it, you can't use any soldiers, and you will lose from the beginning.

Hearing the prince say that he was so disheartened, the two kings were both empathetic and unwilling. Li Yao, the king of E, said: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, even if we don't have soldiers, it doesn't mean that we can't deal with them!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, do you know what we have discovered recently?" Li Ju, the king of light, gave Li Yao, the king of Hu, a look as he spoke, and asked him to come to the front of the crown prince Li Ying with him, and then whispered.

Prince Li Ying's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Really? ”

Li Yao, the king of Hubei, said: "After Balang found out about this, I sent someone to investigate, and then I was sure that this matter was true. ”

The crown prince Li Ying was shocked and said: "They actually ......"

Li Ju, the king of light, said: "They really dare to do it, this is our chance to turn defeat into victory!" When the time comes, I will go and find the other brothers, are there still few concubines in this palace who have been favored by Concubine Wu Hui, why don't the other brothers dare to be angry but dare not speak? This time they have made such a big mistake, and our brothers are playing together, can Aya still ignore the law of the land and so many of our sons for the sake of an old and decrepit woman? ”

The crown prince Li Ying thought that he had to do something, so he said hatefully: "Catch the thief and take the stolen goods." ”

Li Yao, the king of E, said: "Your Highness, rest assured, they naturally need time to prepare, but they don't know that all their actions have been exposed to us." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was April of Fangfei, and the three princes finally waited for the best time. The crown prince Li Ying sat in the East Palace, waiting for the good news of the two brothers, but what he didn't want to wait for was Xiao Jiangyuan and a team of flying dragon soldiers.

In the diligent government affairs building, Li Longji sat on the throne, Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou sat at the bottom, and the prince, King E and King Guang knelt in the palace. Those who sit are bright and neat, and those who kneel are dark and embarrassed.

The lights in the hall were not as bright as before, it was Li Longji's personal order, he wanted to see clearly the unfaithful and unfilial faces of these three sons, and he didn't want to let go of any expression.

The crown prince Li Ying still didn't understand what was going on. Along the way, Xiao Jiangyuan refused to reveal anything, only sighed, and now his father still looked at himself fiercely with that burning eye, could it be that the black and white in the world have been reversed to such a point, they are clearly loyal and filial to the country and their father, why should they be treated like this?

The crown prince Li Ying was so desperate that he didn't want to say a word, but the king of E and the king of light still refused to give up, and their voices were bitter and miserable, and they were finally interrupted by Li Longji's angry shouting: "You don't know the curfew at night, and you take your servants to surround the mansion of Eighteen Lang, which is what the soldiers have seen with their own eyes!" Where did the injustice come from?! Where did you get your weapons? ”

"Aya, the weapon is not ours, it is from King Shou's house!"

"Nonsense! The soldiers clearly saw with their own eyes, each of them was holding a weapon, if it was from King Shou's house, how could it be in your hands? ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
