When Emperor Qianyuan saw Li Sheng, Li Sheng was already dying, his handsome face was bruised from the cold, and he opened his eyes and looked at him stubbornly.

"My nephew doesn't, please ask Uncle Huang to call the shots for my nephew."

Emperor Qianyuan's heart was a little complicated, this young man he watched grow up now has such courage and means to fight for a glimmer of life for himself.

This is the child that his father values.

He looked at Li Sheng like this, and couldn't help but think of the first emperor, the first emperor was a person who valued the elders and the young, so the prince was made a prince as soon as he was born, even if he was better and better than the prince, and more intelligent, but the first emperor never saw his existence.

Later, when something happened to the first prince, the first emperor was very sad and had to pass the throne to him, and he was very happy at that time, and only thought about making some achievements to prove that his choice was not wrong.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first emperor would actually put him together, even if his eldest brother died, the first emperor would leave the throne to the eldest brother's son! Why!

They are also his sons, why is he so partial? The first condition reminded Emperor Qianyuan how reluctant the emperor was to pass on the throne to him, he was not as good as his eldest brother, and his son was also better than his eldest brother's son!

For so many years, he trembled and did not dare to relax in the slightest in state affairs, just to prove that the choice of the former emperor was not wrong, he was a good emperor, but no matter how good he did, his throne could not be left to his son.

It's like someone else's stuff is deposited with him, this throne is not his, he only keeps it temporarily, and sooner or later he will have to return it.

So he connived at the suppression of Li Sheng by several princes, but he looked at Li Sheng's indifferent appearance, which made him feel an indescribable grievance in his heart, he didn't care about these frames, because he was justified, he didn't need to fight, all this was his, no matter how many means others used, even if they got it, they would have to make people look at the wrong way.

Now Emperor Qianyuan looked at Li Sheng, who was embarrassed at this time, and suddenly understood a little, this child was personally taught and cultivated by his father since he was a child, and was regarded as the real successor by his father, so no matter how big the danger is, he will go all out to get what belongs to him.

And he is already old, can he still pave a broad road for his son?

Emperor Qianyuan said softly: "You take care of your illness, and if you have anything to say, you will talk about it when you are cured." "It's just that the eyes are very cold.

Emperor Qianyuan had secretly made a decision in his heart, this time he must not give Li Sheng a chance to turn over again, after all, even if it is cold, sometimes it will kill people.

The murderous aura in Emperor Qianyuan's eyes flashed.

Li Sheng was soon sent back to the Changsun Mansion, and it was impossible for Emperor Qianyuan to kill Li Sheng in the palace, and he still attached great importance to his reputation.

Li Sheng did all this, soon spread among the people, about Li Sheng and Wan Concubine Niangniang's affair is also a lot of uproar, at the beginning Li Sheng was scolded a bloody dog, scolded him for disregarding human morality, sanctimonious, and his voice fell to the side of Emperor Qianyuan, especially after Li Sheng was sent back to the Changsun Mansion, Wan Concubine Niangniang hanged herself in her own bedroom, leaving a suicide note saying that she was ashamed of the emperor.

Li Sheng's reputation was completely discredited.

Su Zhan was anxious and went back to Su Yun to discuss countermeasures.

"This situation looks like the news released by someone, otherwise it would not have spread so quickly, the emperor wants to discredit His Highness's reputation among the people, isn't His Highness's bitter plan in vain? If this continues, I'm afraid that the next step will be to kill His Highness! Su Zhan said anxiously.

Su Yunlai's expression was a little solemn: "How is His Highness's body now?" ”

The bitter meat plan is not in vain, Li Sheng is really sick, his original recovery is almost complete, and now he is tossing around again, his body is weak, Su Yunlai is really worried.

"Now Guanyi is by his side, not daring to leave for a moment, and everything at the entrance has been thoroughly examined." Su Zhan wrung his brows and said: "But it's not a way to go on like this, in the past, the four princes wanted to kill Su Ying, and we could still move out of the emperor to suppress him, but now the emperor wants to put His Royal Highness to death, how can this be good?" ”

While the two were talking, the eldest girl beside Qi Shuying, Lan Cao, hurriedly ran in: "Third Young Master, Seventh Miss, go and take a look, the old lady is going to use the family method on the third young grandmother!" ”

Su Zhan's expression suddenly froze, and he turned around and walked out.

Qi Shuying will be attacked by Mrs. Su this time, and it must be that she let Mrs. Su know about Li Sheng's medical treatment.

Su Yunlai didn't go with her, she believed that Su Zhan could handle it, he had become another woman's husband, and he could protect his wife.

Mrs. Su was really angry this time, opened the ancestral hall, and asked Qi Shuying to be tied up, kneeling outside the ancestral hall, next to the Su family's family law, a three-foot-long bamboo board made of bamboo.

Qi Shuying knelt on the ground with some uneasiness, and Old Lady Su sat on it with a solemn and majestic expression.

Mrs. Su glanced at Mama Xu, and Mama Xu took a step forward and said respectfully: "Since the third young grandmother Qi married into the Su family, she has disrespected her elders and left home for no reason, which is really unfilial. ”

"Wait!" Su Zhan arrived in time and spoke out to stop him.

Old Mrs. Su's eyes narrowed, and a gleam flashed in her cloudy old eyes: "Okay!" He really deserves to be a good descendant of the Su family! Now are you going to challenge the Su family's family law for this woman?! ”

Su Zhan stood with his hands tied, lowered his head and said respectfully: "If you go back to your grandmother's words, your grandson will not dare, the Qi family is your grandson's wife, this is on the genealogy, and she has told her ancestors and ancestors, if she makes a mistake, her grandson will not dare to protect her." ”

Old Lady Su sneered: "Since that's the case, it's best, Mama Xu, what are you still doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up yet! Don't let the ancestors of the Su family wait for a long time! ”

"Yes!"

"Grandmother, slow." Su Zhan said slowly, "My grandson has a word, please ask my grandmother to listen to my grandson's words." ”

"Speaking of which, you just want to intercede for this woman who doesn't know the height of the sky, so it's okay not to listen!" Old Lady Su said coldly.

"The grandson is not interceding for her, but for the future glory of our Su family." Su Zhan opened his mouth and said.

This hat is too serious, even Mrs. Su has to be cautious, and she has a strained face, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Su Zhan arched his hand and said: "The person rescued by the Qi family this time is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, this matter is very important, Your Majesty is also worried and anxious about the illness of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the Qi family is worried and solved, the grandmother uses the family method for the Qi family, and the grandson does not dare to say anything, but if this matter spreads, I am afraid that some people will think that our Su family is unwilling to treat His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and it is dissatisfied with the saint, please grandmother think twice." ”

Even if Emperor Qianyuan killed Li Sheng, it would be after careful calculation, and Mrs. Su would dare to punish and save the granddaughter-in-law of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson so blatantly? Isn't this an obvious expression of dissatisfaction with His Highness the eldest grandson?

Old Mrs. Su was shrewd, and after a little thought, she also understood the truth, and her face couldn't help but distort.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while, especially the people in the fifth room, Li Sheng was rescued, and the loss in the fifth room was the greatest, especially when Su Chen did not marry Qi Shuying, which had already made the four princes extremely dissatisfied, this time Qi Shuying saved Li Sheng again, and it was a good thing for the four princes, and the four princes were angry with Su Chen.

If Su Chen could successfully marry Qi Shuying, and Qi Shuying became their person, where would there be so many things?

The fifth lady asked unwillingly: "Mother, is it true, is this the end of this matter?" The third daughter-in-law went out without the permission of her elders, breaking the rules, if she is not punished, in the future, there will be no rules in this family? ”

Old Mrs. Su was already angry in her heart, and when she heard this, she glanced at her with a smile and said, "Otherwise, what are you going to do?" The life-saving benefactor of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was used in the family law? ”

Not only can it not be punished, but it must be rewarded more, this is the right way, but Mrs. Su is really tired in her heart, and she is not in this mood.

The fifth lady choked, and Mrs. Su retracted her gaze: "Heaven and Earth Monarch, she shares worries for the emperor and is loyal to the emperor, what can we do?" She waved her hand and said wearily, "It's all gone." ”

After everyone left, Su Zhan hurriedly helped Qi Shuying up and asked anxiously, "Frightened, right?" ”

Qi Shuying smiled and shook her head: "I knew you would come to save me." ”

Su Zhan's heart warmed, and before he could be moved, his daughter-in-law continued: "Even if you can't do it, there is a seventh sister anyway, she is so smart, there will definitely be a way, and she won't really let me be punished!" After speaking, he nodded solemnly, extremely trusting.

Su Zhan's mood was not very good, and he let go of his hand unhappily: "She is so powerful, you marry her!" ”

Who knew that Qi Shuying actually said confidently: "She is not a man!" ”

Have you really thought about co-authoring?! Su Zhan was so angry!

Su Zhan and Qi Shuying came back safely, and Su Yunlai breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that Su Zhan's face was not very good.

"What's the matter, third brother, aren't things going well?"

Su Zhan glanced at her angrily: "It's okay, you still want to save Your Highness." ”

Su Yunlai pondered for a while: "Now everything we can do has been done, and now it depends on how Master Yun expresses his position if we can save His Highness, the old ministers left by the emperor are all looking forward to him, and now that Master Yun is closed, and he does not show up, the others can only stand still, and now we want to see if His Highness can invite Master Yun to come forward." ”

"Since he is the last move left by the emperor to His Royal Highness, is it possible that he will really watch His Highness being bullied?" Su Zhan couldn't help asking.

"Third brother, the first emperor has been dead for more than ten years." Su Yunlai was silent for a moment and reminded: "People's hearts are fickle. ”

"Then you see, Master Yun will stand up for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?" Su Zhan asked again.

Su Yunlai thought for a moment before he said, "Then it depends on what price His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is willing to pay." ”

"You mean......" Su Zhan was stunned.

Su Yun said: "At this time and that time, now that His Highness is at a disadvantage, what capital does he have to let Master Yun stand out for him?" Naturally, it is necessary to come up with relative benefits. ”

"Benefits?" Su Zhan raised his eyebrows: "If Your Highness successfully ascends the throne in the future, he will naturally not forget their merits, and he will not treat them badly." ”

Su Yunlai chuckled: "Those benefits can't impress Master Yun, he has gone through two dynasties and assisted three emperors, and it is already the peak of Wenchen to sit in his position, do you still care about those false names?" ”

"And what do you mean?"

Su Yunlai was silent for a moment before he said, "Isn't Your Highness not yet married?" ”

Su Zhan was stunned, Li Sheng really hasn't married yet, if he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, his wife will be the future queen, Yun Taishi needs a benefit that he doesn't have, and he can't refuse, what is more appropriate than the posterior promise?

But...... In this way, Li Sheng has to marry a woman he has never met, in order to get that position, compromise his happiness, or even his life, even if he is an emperor, he will inevitably have three thousand beauties in the harem in the future, but the queen, he can't give his beloved woman, will he be willing?

In the past, Su Zhan might have thought that this was nothing, but it was just a matter of marrying a woman, but it was just ...... When his eyes fell on Qi Shuying's body, since he got married, he didn't think so anymore, yes, he can live a lifetime with anyone, but if it wasn't that person, he would be prosperous and rich, and he would live a long life, but he would just spend his life in vain.

"Is that all there is to it?" Su Zhan asked with some loss, "Isn't His Royal Highness the eldest grandson too pitiful?" ”

Su Yun glanced at him, thought for a while and comforted: "Third brother, don't be too pessimistic, I've been thinking about it these days, maybe Your Highness can still have a glimmer of reality, maybe ......"

"Maybe what?" Su Zhan asked hurriedly.

"Perhaps, the emperor had expected such a situation today, and it is not necessary to leave a solution for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." Su Yun said: "With the means and scheming of the previous emperor, he will definitely arrange for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, you can go and ask His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”

Su Zhan nodded.

Changsun Mansion.

Li Sheng was in good spirits today, he was able to sit up, and he drank a bowl of porridge, although his face was still a little pale.

Su Zhan went to visit him, saw that his physical condition was much better, and he was very happy, so he mentioned the matter.

"Ah Wan said, I'm afraid this matter will have to be solved by Master Yun."

Li Sheng nodded, and suddenly said, "Is there already a commotion outside?" ”

Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Li Sheng smiled lightly: "Master Yun, that's an old fox, it's not easy to ask him to come forward, what else did Ah Wanke say?" ”

Su Zhan hesitated for a moment, and Li Sheng said when he saw this: "Ah Zhan, is there anything else you can't say to me?" If even you want to talk to me, who can I trust? ”

Su Zhan then said: "Ah Wan said...... His Royal Highness has not yet married, and now he is afraid that the only one who can impress Master Yun is the future minister......"

Xu Guan raised his head and glanced at him, and even Li Sheng's expression changed.

Su Zhan had no choice but to explain: "But Ah Wan also said that maybe the emperor had left a solution for His Royal Highness. ”

Li Sheng's eyes gradually filled with a smile, it was the kind of obvious smile, but I don't know why, looking at his expression, Su Zhan's heart was sour, he was not really happy, but a helpless self-deprecating laugh at fate.

Li Sheng took out a bag from the pillow and handed it to Su Zhan: "Take a look." ”

Su Zhan took it, opened the bag and saw that the handwriting was sharp and sharp, and there was a domineering spirit in his face, and he instantly thought of who the person who wrote this word was.

Only one sentence was written on it: "Marrying the daughter of the Yun family can ascend to the throne." ”

Su Zhan's expression changed suddenly, Xu Guan glanced at him suspiciously, and he also came over, and was also stunned when he saw the content above.

Su Yunlai actually guessed the layout of the first emperor! Her thoughts coincided with the previous emperor!

Su Zhan no longer made a fuss about his sister's intelligence, but Xu Guan's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance, that girl always gives people unexpected.

Su Zhan was a little sad at this time, the first emperor and Su Yunlai could only think of this one way, which showed that they were really desperate now.

Your Highness...... "Will you marry the daughter of the Yun family?"

Xu Guanyi said at this time: "I heard that Master Yun's granddaughter is exactly fifteen this year, and she has not allowed anyone's family, it turns out that Master Yun has long known that there will be this day......

Li Sheng and Su Zhan turned their heads to look at him, and Xu Guanyi said: "I want to assist His Royal Highness, naturally I have also done some homework, this eldest lady of the Yun family is rumored to be knowledgeable, beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I heard that Master Yun took her with her since she was a child to teach her personally, and there was an endless stream of people who asked to marry, but they were all rejected by the Yun family, and it turned out to be ......"

Probably this is some kind of tacit understanding between the former emperor and Yun Taishi, they have not broken it, and they are just waiting for Li Sheng to go to Yun Qian for help when he is desperate, and everything can be logical.

I have to say that the emperor's methods are really a last resort.

Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi both looked at Li Sheng, waiting for him to make a final decision.

They all knew what this decision meant, or rather, they all knew what Li Sheng's final decision was, but they were waiting, waiting for him to speak.

This is a process, Su Zhan knows that there is a vague figure in Li Sheng's heart, he is waiting for him to give up his selfish desires and grow into a mature and excellent man who can become an emperor.

After a long time, Li Sheng's low voice sounded in the room: "Guanyi, take my prayer note and ask to see Master Yun." ”

With such a sentence, everything seemed to have settled, and while Su Zhan was relieved, he also felt a little ...... Inexplicably disappointed, he didn't know why he had such emotions, he should have known that Li Sheng would make such a decision.

Xu Guanyi didn't think so much, and responded respectfully: "Yes." ”

Su Zhan and Xu Guan retreated together, Li Sheng sat at the head of the bed, his hand in the quilt slowly opened, and in his hand was a hosta, which was something he had always wanted to give her, but he had never had the opportunity to give it out, there was no reason before, and now he is no longer qualified.

He looked at the hairpin and slowly gathered his palms, the decision he made in person, he couldn't allow himself to regret it, but why, did he feel so painful in his heart?

Again, again helplessly, he chose to give up on her.

Just like before, every time she needed help, he couldn't help her because he was worried about various reasons.

He closed his eyes and thought of those pasts, she was framed and kidnapped, and he couldn't break in to save her, but Gu Junyan went; Her brother is seriously ill, she is desperate, she knows how to save Su Zhan, but she has never asked him for help, she is so smart, she naturally knows that he has a lot of concerns.

So in the end, the one she chose was not him.

Li Sheng had never realized so clearly that from that time on, he had already lost, and now he finally had to let go of the extravagant hopes in his heart and cut off all their possibilities.

I really envy Gu Junyan, he can always do whatever he wants, and if he wants to help her, he will not care about the consequences, that is true freedom.

It's over before it starts.

He slowly closed his eyes and calmly endured the torment of heartache, and even if he collapsed, he saniently watched his heartbreak.

Xu Guanyi quickly packed his bags and brought gifts to visit Yun Taishi, Yun Qian resigned before returning to his hometown, before leaving, Li Sheng also specially asked him to bring the first prince and the first princess when they got married, the dragon and phoenix, as a token to the girl of the Yun family.

Xu Guanyi solemnly said goodbye to Li Sheng: "My subordinates will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

Li Sheng bowed slightly, looking at his departing back, Xu Guanyi asked him to marry a woman he didn't love, he had to do his best and be solemn, but he really loved it, but he could only stand by again and again because of his concerns.

How ironic it is.

The news that Li Sheng sent people out of Beijing soon reached the ears of Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan immediately knew that Li Sheng was looking for Yun Taishi to fight back!

immediately ordered someone to be sent to intercept Xu Guanyi, fortunately, Su Yun had expected it before he came, and specially asked Su Zhan to remind Xu Guanyi to bring more people, and the Gu family sent a lot of people to escort him.

But even so, the people sent by the emperor intercepted all the way, and the trip in just a few days went for more than half a month, and fewer and fewer people came out.

In his arms, he protected the love token of the former prince and the former princess, which was the most important thing on this trip, and he was the one who must hand this thing over to the Yun family.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yunfu, he encountered another blockade on the road, and finally the two guards took Xu Guanyi out of the encirclement, even if he tried his best to protect each other, Xu Guanyi was still injured, he ran desperately, but the pursuers chased after him, he saw a knife stabbed into his abdomen, he was in severe pain, and fainted.

When Xu Guanyi woke up, he found himself lying in the room, he was startled, instinctively touched the dragon and phoenix in his arms, found that the thing was gone, sat up suddenly, and a sharp pain made him fall back again.

"You're looking for, but this thing?" A deep, old voice rang out.

As soon as Xu Guan looked up, he saw an old man with gray hair, but he was in good spirits, looking at him with a pair of old but wise eyes.

Xu Guanyi immediately understood: "Under Xu Guanyi, it is a subordinate of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, to meet Master Yun." ”

Although he was injured, he didn't expect to see Yun Qian so smoothly.

Yun Qian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he responded lightly: "He is an ambitious young man, he has been stabbed several times, but he is still protecting the things in his arms, it can be seen that after such a year, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has lived up to the expectations of the emperor, and with someone like you serving him, the emperor can rest assured." ”

Xu Guanyi was overjoyed: "Students dare not be ashamed, but it is just a matter of loyalty." ”

"What a loyal thing." Yun Qian said lightly, "Take care of your injuries." ”
