"I have a lung disease, it's serious."

When Li Jing said this sentence lightly, Li Yu and Li Daiying stood side by side, and neither of them spoke. There was a frozen aura in the air, as if it was about to envelop and surround the trio, and eventually suffocate them to death.

Li Jing looked at the two people in front of him and smiled faintly.

"There's no need to look at me like this, the Imperial Doctor said, with proper conditioning, I still have three or two years to live." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Li Daiying's body, and Li Daiying obviously felt the temperature that belonged to family affection.

She lowered her eyelids. He knelt silently in front of Li Jing and put his head on his lap.

This posture is Li Yan's favorite posture when she was a child. Although she had never experienced it, she remembered such a warm gesture. This is the strongest taste of family affection she has felt after leaving her parents for more than ten years.

She rested her head lightly on Li Jing's knee. She could even clearly feel Li Jing's thin leg joints. She admits that at many times, she is irrational. So now, she doesn't want to think about anything.

It's that Li Yu is much calmer than her.

He glanced up at Li Jing and looked at him carefully. However, he said, "It seems that I haven't seen my father so close for a long time. ”

The feelings contained in his words are much more complicated than Li Daiying's. However, it is so complex that it is elusive.

Li Jing nodded as if he could fully understand.

He pointed to the chair across from him and motioned for Li Yu to sit down.

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and sat down.

Li Jing opened his mouth and said, "Do you know why I am estranged from you and the prince among my brothers? ”

Li Yu nodded: "My mother told me since I was a child, and that was because my father felt that the two of us could take on heavy responsibilities and didn't want us to be burdened by family affection." ”

After he finished speaking, Li Jing shook his head.

"Not entirely."

"That's?" Li Yu asked.

"You and the prince are stubborn and paranoid by nature, and they are both extremely intelligent, and the father is afraid that the two of you will be in trouble!" When his words came out, not only Li Yu, but even Li Daiying couldn't help but be shocked.

sensed Li Daiying's shock. Li Jing helped Li Daiying up and said, "Don't you wonder why I left you and him alone?" ”

Li Daiying nodded.

Li Jing replied: "I don't need to say, you should know, for me, you are even more important than my own daughter." I owe your mother, and I owe you, but not just you. I hope that no matter what the future holds, you will be able to live a happy and healthy life. ”

After he finished speaking, Li Daiying only felt a sour nose, but she didn't want him to see that she was so fragile, so she simply lowered her head. After a while, he looked up.

"Yan'er never felt that her uncle owed Yan'er anything, her uncle loved Yan'er so much, and everything went along with Yan'er, because she was afraid that the stone would cut Yan'er, and asked someone to move all her uncle's favorite Taihu Lake stones out of the palace, and asked many palace people to work day and night to grind all the sharp corners of the stone into a circle. What her uncle did for Yan'er, Yan'er remembers, and will never forget. Yan'er has grown up, Yan'er can do many, many things, and can protect herself well. Yan'er won't let her uncle worry about it, and Yan'er also wants to protect her uncle. ”

When she spoke, she only felt an uncomfortable tightness in her nostrils.

Li Jing shook her head while smiling: "My Yan'er has indeed grown up, but my uncle always thinks that Yan'er is still a child, and my uncle has forgotten." As he spoke, he took Li Daiying's hand and put it in Li Yu's palm to the side.

said: "But no matter what, my uncle can't let go of Yan'er." So, can Yan'er listen to her uncle? ”

Li Daiying was startled and looked at Li Jing suspiciously.

Li Yu also looked at him.

"I want you to promise me, no matter what, protect her!" His words were addressed to Li Yu. So Li Yu heard the flavor of his words almost without thinking.

He slowly closed his palm, holding the hand that seemed a little cramped in the palm of his hand. He said: "My father may not know that my aunt and I did not know each other in the palace, and in the hearts of my sons, I have long regarded her as one of the most important people, so my father can rest assured." ”

Li Daiying was taken aback.

She could almost feel the trembling of the tips of her fingers and the temperature of Li Yu's palm.

She subconsciously wanted to withdraw herself from this feeling, however, Li Yu's strength and Li Jing's vision made her powerless.

In the end, she put her hand into Li Yu's hands.

He replied, "I'll just listen to my uncle." After speaking, she filled in again: "But can my uncle also promise Yan'er one thing." ”

Li Jing nodded. "Say."

"Let Yan'er do something for her uncle."

"What's the matter?"

"I once heard the housekeeper say that there is a place called the peerless tea house in the capital, and the owner there is proficient in pharmacology and is said to have saved countless people, I want to ......"

Before she finished her words, Li Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground with her, and continued: "Yes, I also know about this matter, although my father has ordered us people in the Tang Dynasty not to step into the peerless tea house, but now the situation is urgent, can we ......?"

Li Jing was silent for a long time.

Fang Cai spoke: "Not allowing anyone to enter the peerless tea house is an edict left to me by my father, and I can't fail to follow it. ”

"But now ......," Li Yu wanted to defend. However, he was interrupted by Li Jing: "No, but." ”

Li Daiying shook her head, her eyes resolute: "Then Yan'er asked her uncle about it, where did her uncle's snow lotus come from?" ”

Li Jing was startled and looked at Li Daiying.

Li Daiying bowed her head: "Yan'er heard that my father said that Fanbang did not offer any snow lotus, so where did the snow lotus that my uncle saved Yan'er come from?" ”

After she asked, Li Jing was silent.

In the end, Li Jing shook his head helplessly. sighed: "Yan'er, do you know that the owner of the peerless tea house is not an extraordinary person, even if you go in, you may not be able to find her, even if you find her, she may not agree to your request, even if she agrees to your request, you may not be able to take it out, you know?" Yan'er? ”

At the end of his words, there was even a bit of helplessness. I probably know that this niece of mine is very stubborn.

As he thought, Li Daiying did not disappoint him. She smiled and nodded. replied: "What my uncle said about Yan'er will think about it carefully, as long as my uncle agrees to Yan'er." ”

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and smiled, like a certain feline, cute, but with sharp tiger teeth.

Li Jing shook his head helplessly: "I was really moved by what you said." As he spoke, he laughed.

glanced at Li Yu and said, "You can help her." ”

Li Yu also nodded.

"Sons and daughters should do their best."

Looking at the two in front of him, Li Jing couldn't help laughing.

Their appearance is so similar, too similar to him and Li Yue back then (Li Jing's sister, Li Yan's mother).

They were so simple and beautiful back then, as if they didn't live in the royal family.

However, in the end, he still fell, fell into power and status, abandoned the good things of the year, and at the same time, hurt the person he cared about the most.

He knew his fault, and he knew he was a sinner. So he vowed, at the very least, to grant her a beautiful world without a trace of dust.

At least, he's doing it now.

"You two go back first. I'm going to rest. ”

Li Jing waved his hand and motioned for the two to leave. But the palace man next to him stepped forward to help him walk towards the inner hall with a worried face.

Just when Li Daiying and the others walked to the door, they seemed to hear the palace people chattering carefully: "Holy Lord, you can't work like this anymore, otherwise you ......" She couldn't hear the following words, just because as soon as she stepped out of the temple door, she was deafened by the oncoming bell.

Li Yu smiled next to her and patted her hand covering her ear.

"Imperial aunt, you have to remember that your father entrusted you to me, and you must be obedient in the future."

Li Daiying was amused by his appearance, and replied: "Don't forget, the imperial uncle also entrusted you to me, as the imperial aunt, I can be regarded as your elder no matter what I say." At the end, she abruptly added: "Uncle Huang must have thought of the affection he had with my mother so closely. He wants us to do the same. ”

Her voice can't penetrate the bell, but it has enough weight to settle into Li Yu's heart. For many years afterward, he remembered this sentence as a purpose, and reminded himself over and over again.
