Chapter 57: The Moon
Three hours ago.
With Du Taiping's approval, Xun Shitian finally thought of a vicious plan. It's naΓ―ve, but it's very vicious.
He brought a superstition of the 'Rakshasa Kingdom' to plot Kyushu to the guest hall of the palace, and tried to sneak this secret letter into Li Zhen's package and murder him.
This naΓ―ve ploy will not work. But now it's working.
Because the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Li Zhen in the court today made everyone feel that the Son of Heaven did not want to see Li Zhen.
If the Son of Heaven appreciates Li Zhen, then all misunderstandings can be ignored by the Son of Heaven. But he didn't like to see him, and even rejected it. From the urgent recruitment of Li Zhen to the court, and then to the dispersal of the dynasty, the Son of Heaven immediately promised a reward, and it can be seen that the Son of Heaven does not want to see Li Zhen again, and wants him to leave quickly, so he hurriedly dismisses it.
And this attitude makes their plan have a high probability of succeeding. Even if he can't succeed, it can make Li Zhen uncomfortable for a while. It doesn't matter, as long as Li Zhen is in the capital, there will always be countless means to come. This disgusting method of the toad crawling on the surface of the foot is only the first step.
But when the Eighth Prince wasted his strength for a long time and touched the guest hall, he found that the building was empty.
The eighth prince anxiously searched everywhere, and searched the entire palace but did not find Li Zhen, which made him feel like he was punching cotton. found Yuan Cheng, and then learned that he had already left Beijing in the afternoon.
The lungs of the Eighth Emperor were about to explode, and his own guards and Du Taiping's sister-in-law all let the vicious person behead him in public. I can't swallow this breath, and I can't take revenge for this revenge at all. I also thought that he would stay in Beijing for a few days and take revenge by the most cruel means.
But Li Zhen is leaving, and he is going to Dongzhou, which is 108,000 miles away from Zhongzhou and far away from the Tiangao Emperor. What else can the Eighth Prince do?
"Ahh
"I'm not convinced!"
Late at night, in the deep palace, there was a roar of unwillingness.
ββ-
On the way, the carriage drove overnight, and Li Zhen didn't know where to go.
It was only by talking at night and listening to Xu Shenxue open his belly to talk about the complex relationships and situations in the palace, that he would know how important it was to leave the capital early.
"The Son of Heaven finally asked you what reward you wanted, and the implication was: If there is nothing else, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible after receiving the reward. So Li Zhen, you have to know the current affairs, the Son of Heaven just doesn't want to see you now, but don't let him hate you. And the Eighth Prince will have endless means to make him never treat you and become disgusted with you, and that is when you are in great trouble. β
Li Zhen nodded profoundly: "Thank you, Principal Xu, for your order." β
"From today onwards, you are my student. It is the teacher's responsibility to maintain you. β
Li Zhen stood up in the carriage and bowed deeply to Xu Shenxue: "Students meet the teacher." β
Xu Shenxue received a salute and said with a smile: "You must not have any aggrieved thoughts." I'll say a big rebellious thing......"
Xu Shenxue looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "A person in his seventies, how long can he live?" It can be seen that he is now short of qi when he speaks, and his qi is almost exhausted. What do you have to worry about? As long as you stay in Dongzhou during this time, do your thing, and don't pay attention to the court anymore. When the prince of the East Palace ascends to the throne, it will be the time for you to soar. β
Li Zhenxin was beating wildly, and his back was chilling. What is the ...... Sure enough, it's a big rebellion.
But his heart was full of emotion, Xu Shenxue even dared to say this to himself, this was really introducing himself to the door. It is really to be his protΓ©gΓ©, to trust himself, to value himself.
Xu Shenxue continued: "You don't have to guess me to know that the relationship between you and the prince should be relatively close. β
Li Zhen hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile: "When he left Jinzhou County, he introduced me as a princeling. β
"That's it, what else do you have to worry about? When Xun Shifei took office, it was when you soared all over the world. All you have to do now is to stay in Dongzhou and lay a good foundation, I won't let you waste six years in school. I will seek an official position for you, and from now on, you can pave the way for your future. My vision is never wrong, and the sky behind you is very broad. The stronger the foundation laid now, the smoother it will be in the future. Maybe you don't want to be an official, but you need strength, and only the bigger the backer behind you, the more brilliant the road will you develop in science. β
Li Zhen smiled and nodded: "I understand." With great power comes great responsibility. I don't reject being an official. β
"That's good. Go to bed early. β
"Yes, Headmaster."
"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long to get back to Eight Dragon City. Take advantage of this time to calm down, and use the time to calm down the negative rumors that the people have about you. I have to say that the Eighth Prince's move is vicious. β
Li Zhen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked: "Teacher, do you say, is it possible for the Eighth Prince to become the prince?" β
Xu Shenxue was silent for a while and said, "No." There are too many partisanship here, and more importantly, the Eighth Prince does not have any resource advantage to attract the officials of the current court to lean towards him. And now all eight adults in the DPRK and China are princelings. Unless the Son of Heaven dares to risk the world and strongly support the Eighth Prince. Unless the crown prince is dead. β
Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
Faintly fell asleep in the carriage.
This night, I dreamed of Zhang Zhi......
When I woke up, it was like a world away.
Li Zhen looked at the bright sky outside the still bumpy carriage, and he burst into tears.
He suddenly forgot what his dream was.
He suddenly forgot the contents of the dream he had had had before.
He only remembered that he dreamed of Zhang Zhi this night, but he forgot the content of the dream and what the two said.
"How could I forget?"
"I can't forget."
Li Zhen frowned, patting his head vigorously in anguish, but he couldn't remember what the content of this dream was.
"Where?"
"It's out of Zhongzhou!"
Outside the carriage, Qi Zi, who was riding a horse, replied stunned.
Out of Zhongzhou?
Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, and there was a feeling of desperately wanting to return to Eight Dragon City.
He vaguely seemed to remember who he had said as if in a dream...... The day of goodbye to Baqiao is the time of reunion.
He vaguely felt that it seemed that if he returned to Eight Dragon City, he would be able to see her.
ββββ
When I woke up, it was like a world away.
Zhang Zhi woke up from the hospital bed with gauze wrapped around his head, with tears in his eyes, and muttered: "I dreamed of him." But...... I can't remember what the dream was. Is this our last dream? But why can't I remember what happened in my dream? β
"But why do I know, I'm going to wait for him at Baqiao."
"Why do I think that when I get to him, I can see him."
"I'm going to wait for him."
ββ¦β¦β
10,000 years ago.
Liuting Road, Baqiaotou.
"How much is the rent here a year?"
"The price has risen recently, and the single room is 12,000."
"Thank you."
"No, it won't."
ββ¦β¦β
She rented the apartment far away, and she felt that she would have to wait for him here for a long time.
During the day she went to school, and at night, she went to sit in a nearby square and wait. Every night, I put my hands on my cheeks and sit there watching the moon on the horizon. Every day you have to sit there for a long time, wait for a long time.
A month later, gradually, she forgot what she was waiting for.
"What am I waiting for?"
Thirty-two days later, at night, she suddenly bowed her head and asked herself.
It seems to have forgotten a very important thing, it seems to have forgotten a remarkable thing.
She forgot why she lived here, why she had to come here every day and wait. Forget what you're waiting for. I also forgot that I had a very strange dream.
She looked at the tattoo on her arm, which she had done at the tattoo parlor last month, and muttered, "Why did I tattoo the word 'Li Zhen' on my arm, what am I afraid of forgetting?" What exactly have I forgotten? What is Lee? Why do I think these two words are familiar, and why do you think these two words make me sad......"
"What exactly have I missed during this time, what have I been waiting for, and what have I forgotten?"
Zhang Zhi looked up, looked at the moon in the dark night, and ignored the people coming and going in the square. He always seemed to hallucinate that he was going to a dark and silent space, where there was only one moon and someone who couldn't remember what it looked like.
She often forgets why she likes to see the moon at night so much.
Forgot what to wait for.
"But I'll always be here ......"
It seems to be waiting for a very important person. I don't know when he's coming, I don't know if he's coming, I don't know what he's like, I don't know who he is.
Just know that it is a very important person. A man who leaves a tear in his own heart.
"Heaven does not give birth to me, eternity is like a long night."
