Li Longji's words sounded righteous and awe-inspiring, but he knew in his heart that most of the elements were deceiving himself. Xiangwang Li Dan seems to be pure-hearted, but he is not ignorant of the world, he deliberately does not ask about Longji, and the tacit understanding reached between father and son maintains a delicate balance.

After returning to the palace, Li Longji was very dull, he didn't see Zhao Liniang, nor anyone, his arms were pillowed under his head and leaned on the back of the chair.

He recalled that one day, his father asked him very strangely in the study: "San Lang, if one day, the power of life and death is in your hands, can you let Wan'er, oh no-" It seems that he feels that such a title is inappropriate in front of his juniors, "Shangguan Zhaorong can die a good death?" After a pause, he said, "She and I are like brother and sister." ”

At that time, Li Longji looked disdainful, and replied in a stiff voice: "My son doesn't have such an aunt, if there is really such a day, she must die." ”

Li Dan was so surprised that he didn't want to believe this answer, so he didn't give up, and asked again: "San Lang, does Shangguan Zhaorong have to be killed?" ”

"Shangguan Wan'er must die." Li Longji did not change his resoluteness, and seeing that his father was waiting for his explanation, he added in righteous words: "If she doesn't die, the dark cloud of Wu Zhou will never disperse." The son takes the restoration of Li Tang as his own responsibility, and he definitely can't have the slightest compassion. ”

Li Dan was silent for a while, looking a little helpless: "Just because of this? San Lang, in fact, her heart is towards our Li family. ”

"To the Li family?" This kind of argument was pale and weak, which could only exacerbate Li Longji's disdain, and sure enough, he went on to say: "Then what's the matter with her lying in the arms of Zhang Changzong and Wu Sansi?" ”

"Saburo, shouldn't you just believe what you see? You're not a bigoted person, why are you so about this? At the beginning, the rumor in the palace that your grandmother intended to hand over the country to the Zhang brothers was Shangguan Zhaorong's painstaking management...... "Li Dan was obviously a little blamed.

Li Longji's heart was heavy, and his voice was a little low: "Maybe what my father said is also true, but Ah Pu saw that it was also true, no one forced her with a knife on her neck." Longji was suddenly stunned in his heart, avoiding Li Dan's questioning gaze, "Her existence is a blasphemy." ”

Li Dan was helpless and motioned for him to go out.

Li Longji walked out of the study after giving a salute, a ray of sunlight projected on his face was particularly dazzling, the young and vigorous Longji squinted slightly, strode forward, walked and slowed down, he suddenly noticed the complex disgust and disgust in his heart when he faced his father Li Dan's question, it seemed familiar-

It was a sunny day, just like today, at the age of sixteen, he thought that Taifu's preaching was too old-fashioned and harsh, and because he loved the sound of bells and drums, he hid in the small garden behind Qifeng Pavilion, the warm sunshine and afternoon air were lazy, and the fragrance of flowers was sweet and refreshing. Longji leaned against a rock, with a thin grass in his mouth, and the dense flowers in front of him blocked his vision, and also blocked the dazzling bright light, and soon a deep sleepiness hit.

…… In the haze, he heard the soft laughter of men and women, instinctively opened his sleepy eyes, and through the cracks in the chaotic and trembling flower branches, he saw a woman wearing a scarlet female official uniform, whose beauty and charm could be felt from the back, was nestled in the arms of a middle-aged man, this man was burly, and the side face line was very tough. Li Longji recognized the man at a glance, gritted his teeth with hatred, and silently recited three words in his teeth: "Wu Sansi".

I faintly heard the woman's voice say, "Do you like me?" The voice was familiar.

Wu Sansi replied in a loud voice: "...... Did you know I liked you until now...... Didn't you already know I liked you? ”

The two hugged each other tightly, and then kissed affectionately......

The hatred in Longji's eyes was hotter than the sun, and one hand tightly grasped the thorny flower branch, and bright red blood quickly oozed from the palm, but he still didn't know it, until the flower branch broke into two, and the "click" sound was like a firecracker exploding in the bottom of his heart, and Longji suddenly noticed it......

The man and woman stopped, and Wu Sansi began to look towards the sound, tiptoeing over......

Li Longji reacted quickly, quickly dodged, and hid behind the mountain rocks.

Later, I heard Wu Sansi with a smile in his voice: "Wan'er, don't panic, it should be a wild cat." ”

Where did the wildcats come from in the palace? Young Li Longji felt ridiculous, and felt that what he saw today was extremely absurd.

…… Thinking of these old things, Li Longji's thoughts are complicated, he has a faint hatred, but he doesn't know where the hatred comes from, he clearly knows that it is a kind of hatred from selfishness.

Also on this night, in the Daming Palace, Zong Chuke laughed in the tent: "I had a dream a few days ago, it was very interesting, and I said it so that the queen would have fun." ”

Empress Wei covered her mouth and was full of charm: "Isn't it enough fun between you and me?" "Tease him with your eyes," what kind of dream did you say? ”

“…… I dreamed of a dog in my house, wearing my crown and hat, standing up like a man, very funny, so I said to him, 'You are a monster among beasts, you have exceeded your duty, you should be killed.' 'You know how?' Zong Chuke asked with amusement.

Empress Wei's curiosity was driven, and she urgently asked, "How?" ”

Zong Chuke let out a disdainful snort from his nose and continued: "That beast actually spoke, and it said, 'You are a monster among people, you have exceeded your duty, you should be killed!'" When I heard this, I was angry and amused, and I picked up the sword and cut off the dog's head......

Wei's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Good kill!" Zonglang, you are in a high position, you have to be windy, no, not only everyone is jealous, but the animals are red - but in my eyes, what hinders us from achieving great things, whether it is people or animals, even gods and Buddhas, they should all be killed! Only we are supreme. ”
