3. Wu Wangke
"Xiaoxiao. The gentle tone was a little helpless.
Xiaoxiao was holding a book in his hand, and when he heard the boss's voice, he raised his head slightly, and under his bangs, a pair of big round eyes only glanced at him lightly, and then returned his gaze to the book as if nothing happened.
"I don't know how you made friends with this personality. The boss helplessly glanced at Xiaoxiao, who ignored him, and smiled at the girl sitting next to her in a school uniform: "Mu Zhen?"
Mu Zhen looked up at the boss, her long black hair was scattered casually on her shoulders, reflecting the whiter skin, under the long eyelashes, a pair of eyes were shiny with water, and her little face was still a little cute baby fat. It is indeed a good-looking tightness.
"Well, it's me. Haha, are you Xiaoxiao's brother?" Mu Zhen scratched her hair and smiled embarrassedly: "Your family genes are really strong, and they are all so good-looking." β
As if he didn't expect her to say this, the boss was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Ha! Xiaoxiao has a brother, yes, but it's not me." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiaoxiao and continued, "But their family genes are quite strong. β
It's just that this temperament is a bit anxious.
"Come, come, tell me how you met?"
The boss winked at Mu Zhen, his smile was a little bewitching, and even the warm voice was slightly intoxicating. "Xiaoxiao never brings friends back. β
"You're still the first. β
"Huh?" Mu Zhen fell into that bewitching smile, her big wet eyes looked straight at the boss, and she didn't react for a while.
"Ahh Actually, it's nothing. Mu Zhen looked at Xiaoxiao, who had not spoken, and couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, "If I really want to say something, it is probably Xiaoxiao who saved me." β
Bring me salvation.
"And then we got to know each other. Well, although most of the time it's me talking to myself. But I'm really happy to get to know Shinoshio. β
I am very happy.
The boss squinted slightly, looked at Mu Zhen with a bright smile on her face, and suddenly lifted the corners of her lips.
Heh, Xiaoxiao will have a time to save people?
"Say it, and probably no one will believe it. β
At that time, that person ......
A month ago, on her way home from the orphanage, several girls in the same class blocked her in the alley and mocked her to the fullest.
Just because she's an orphan, a bed bug that no one wants!
But what's wrong with her? And what's wrong with her liking someone?
Should a child who no one wants be looked down upon?
Isn't a child who no one wants worthy of someone you like?
Why?
"Hey!" Xiaoxiao was still wearing a Tang jacket with a spinning skirt, sitting quietly on the grass under the shade of a tree, with a book on her knees, hearing Mu Zhen's crying, her eyes didn't move, and she said indifferently: "You made a noise to me." β
"yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. Mu Zhen raised her head violently, her eyes red. "I didn't know there were people here. β
Mu Zhen looked at the girl in front of her who didn't pay any attention to her, leaning her back against the tree, her hands around her knees, and burying her face in her arms.
Why don't Mom and Dad want me anymore?
I really don't want to be an orphan! I don't want to be called a bedbug anymore!
I really...... I really like it...... Li Ke!
Suddenly, Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, stood up from the ground, and her eyes fell from the book to Mu Zhen.
"You're an orphan?"
Mu Zhen raised her head violently, and her body shook almost uncontrollably: "Yes, yes." β
Probably, it's going to be hated again, right?
"Hmm. Xiaoxiao tilted her head, looked at Mu Zhen carefully for a long time, and then frowned slightly.
"Your name is ...... Mu Zhen?"
Mu Zhen lowered her head slightly and responded timidly.
Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed on her for a long time, and then he suddenly spoke, and his faint tone seemed to be a little mocking: "Obsessed." β
"Huh?"
"How about I give you a dream?"
"Ahh
"Hey, this book is for you. Xiaoxiao handed the book in his hand that he didn't know where to take it out of nowhere and handed it to Mu Zhen. "Now it's yours. β
Mu Zhen took the book in a daze, and then nodded in a daze.
It wasn't until Xiaoxiao walked away that she reacted in hindsight.
Does the dream have anything to do with books?
That's not right......
"San Lang, what's wrong?" The woman who spoke was wearing a noble double bun, with a spring on her face, a graceful posture, a prosperous brocade, and a charming and natural smile on her own.
The summoned man had a calm face, his handsome and timeless face was cold and cold, dressed in a crescent moon robe, embroidered with ink bamboo, and only the gold thread on the sleeve was sewn with delicate flowers.
The green silk of ink is erected high by the jade crown, the white clothes are clean, the Qiongshu Yuzhi, the rhyme is noble, and it is like a poetic painting.
"Zhen Niang. Li Ke looked at his delicate wife, and a soft light flashed in his deep eyes.
"There's a letter from the palace, Runan is gone. β
"Princess Runan?" Hearing this, Zhen Niang was stunned for a moment, thinking of the delicate woman, and couldn't help sighing.
Living in a quagmire like a harem is still her misfortune in the end.
Taking advantage of this time, the father and the emperor had no time to take care of it, Gao Yang's girl began to mess around outside again. Li Keying's eyebrows frowned slightly, with a hint of tiredness, "Now the DPRK and China are not at peace." β
β...... Saburo, it's always going to be fine. β
How can it be good? The open and covert struggle between the DPRK and China has long been mired in a quagmire.
Not only did the princes make a move, but even some princesses began to plot secretly.
You and I both know itβ
No one will let us go!
In 637 AD, Li Ke changed the title of King Wu and appointed him as the governor of the military Anzhou Assassin of the Five Prefectures. At the end of the same year, he was dismissed and removed from office due to the impeachment of the officials.
"Zhen Niang, I've worked hard for you all these years. β
Li Ke glanced at the woman who was making tea with no hands, smiled, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the flying pear blossoms, and then slowly lowered his eyes, his voice was low but breathtaking, "Eldest grandson Wuji...... I can't wait. β
"Ge Lao?" Zhen Niang's eyelashes trembled slightly, poured out two cups of tea, and offered a cup to Li Ke.
"Not bad. His quiet eyes seemed to have a soft smile in them, and he took the teacup from her hand and took a sip of it. "He's the most unaccustomed to seeing me on weekdays. β
I'm afraid I can't hide from it.
"Zhen Niang. Li Ke looked at her, his face was a little solemn, "Are you afraid of death?"
Hearing this, Zhen Niang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lifted her lips and chuckled, her eyes flashed with a firm light, "San Lang, I'm not afraid!"
Li Ke looked at her fixedly, shook his head for a while, and smiled without saying a word.
But how can I give it up?
In 643 AD, the prince's rebellion failed, and Taizong abolished his crown prince. In July of the same year, Princess Changle died of a sudden illness. Taizong wept bitterly and stopped for many days.
"Saburo. Zhen Niang sat quietly in front of Li Ke, with a gentle smile, "I'm just an orphan girl...... It was the elder of Changsun Pavilion who kindly brought me back to the mansion. You know, I have to repay him for his nurturing kindness with me. β
She muttered softly, half-closing her eyes, "I have always put poison in your food, and although it will not lead to death, it will slowly drag down your body and paralyze your consciousness. It's just going to make you worse off than dead!"
β...... Saburo. Looking at Li Ke, whose face flashed with a hint of surprise, she chuckled, "The last order that Elder Ge gave me was to kill you." β
"Zhen Niang. Li Ke's deep eyes looked at her, his gaze was as always, and his affection remained the same...... I knew, I knew it from the beginning. β
But if it's you, why not?
Zhen Niang was slightly stunned, and then laughed to herself. "Oh, you know it all! How do you ......?"
Why are you so stupid?
"San Lang ......" Zhen Niang smiled, her eyes were shining, the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood, and she muttered: "I, I can't bear it." β
Li Ke's face changed suddenly, and he rushed over and hugged Zhen Niang.
"Zhen Niang, why are you-"
Zhen Niang smiled in a low voice, and spit out another mouthful of blood, "San Lang, you know, if you don't do this, I'm afraid that neither of you and I will survive." β
"I'll have someone pass on the doctor! Come! Comeβ"
"San Lang!" Zhen Niang grabbed his hand and shook her head gently.
"I don't want to go wrong anymore. She wiped the blood stains from the corners of her lips, her eyes were affectionate, and she said with difficulty, "So, I drank that cup of poisonous wine myself." β
Li Ke suddenly smiled, but his eyes were full of fear: "Zhen Niang, you will be fine! I will not let you die!"
I'm still here, how can you die?
Tears fell suddenly.
Li Ke hugged the angry woman tightly and let her lean on him.
"Saburo. She raised her hand, wanting to wipe away the tears on Li Ke's face, but smiled bitterly when she looked at her blood-stained hands: "I forgot, you are such a clean person." β
"Sorry for getting dirty with me. β
Li Ke hugged her tightly, muttering about to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word, only his eyes were blurred.
β...... Princess Changle saw that the elder of the pavilion plotted to frame the prince for rebellion. β
She narrowed her eyes and opened her lips silently, "Elder Ge, killed her." β
But, I'm also a murderer.
Such a simple and kind woman, I hurt her.
"Zhen Niang!" Li Ke's eyes were scarlet, and his voice was hoarse, "I don't want to care about any of this." All I know is, I like you, I like you, how can you ......."
How can you bear to leave me alone?
"Thank you. Zhen Niang slowly closed her eyes and smiled softly. β...... It's just, in the next life, hopefully we'll never meet again."
Thank you for liking me like this.
"And, ahem...... You must, you have to live well......"
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the adopted daughter of Anzhou Yang Thorn History, Princess Wu Yang Shi, had a fetus in her womb, less than a month.
One corpse, two lives.
In 649 AD, Tang Taizong died of illness in the Hanfeng Hall in the Cuiwei Palace of Zhongnan Mountain. In the same year, the crown prince Li Zhi succeeded to the throne and changed to Yuan Yonghui.
"Lang Jun, take a break. The woman with eyebrows like a crescent moon and eyes like autumn water walked up to his side, trying to put away the folds on the bookcase for him, but the movements were still a little stiff when she looked closely.
"Ahem...... Zhen Niang. Li Ke suddenly raised his eyes and clasped her wrist to take away the fold.
The light in her deep eyes dimmed quietly, but a shallow smile appeared, "Xiao Meiniang, you are not her. β
β...... You don't have to learn from her. β
A smile and a smile, full of likeness. But, you're not her after all.
"Heh......" Hearing this, Xiao Meiniang looked at Li Ke with a wry smile, her eyes were shining, "Lang Jun, why don't you give up?"
"Sister, she's gone! She'll never come back!
"Lone knows. Li Ke smiled, his eyes were gentle and curling, "Xiao Meiniang, do you know? Only when she is alone is lonely, Lone is alive." β
"Now, there is no room for loneliness today, and neither can the courtiers in the court. β
"Lone is going to see Zhen Niang. But - you have to live well. He instructed unhurriedly, with a smile in his eyes.
"Lang Jun!" Xiao Meiniang looked at him with red eyes, and said bitterly: "Are you going to leave the concubine?"
"Xiao Meiniang. Li Ke still looked at her, "The palace still depends on you." β
Hearing this, Xiao Meiniang was stunned for a moment.
"Lang Jun, concubine, understood. Xiao Meiniang knelt down in front of Li Ke, with tears in her eyes.
You won't call yourself lonely only when you're in front of her, Lang Jun, you love your sister very much, right?
In 653 AD, Li Ke was removed from his post and imprisoned for being involved in the rebellion of Princess Gaoyang and her husband Fang Yiai. In early February, he was hanged in the Chang'an Palace.
β...... Do you still want to?"
"The eldest grandson Wuji killed the eldest brother, killed Changle, and killed the lonely wife and children. β
Lonely, I wish his people to perish!
...... Can.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao really sent you a dream?" the boss couldn't believe it.
"Hmm. Mu Zhen thought for a moment, then nodded and said affirmatively, "I seem to have had a dream, but I can't remember anything when I wake up." β
"But it should be a beautiful dream. β
It's beautiful, but I want to cry inexplicably.
"Mu Zhen. Xiaoxiao on the side suddenly put down the book and looked at her expressionlessly, "You are an orphan, but are you still afraid now?"
Mu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "Don't be afraid!"
I won't be afraid in the future.
"Zhen Niang, you are an orphan girl, but you are also my princess, with me, are you still afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. β
It's obviously laughing and crying, but I can't stop it.
What seems to have been forgotten?
Forgot a very important thing.
I...... Can't remember.
"Are you so good?" sent Mu Zhen away, and the boss looked at Xiaoxiao with some concern.
"They are already ......" The boss frowned: "Xiaoxiao, you are changing your life against the sky!"
"Hmm. Xiaoxiao wrote down the word Li Ke slowly, and then looked up, "A-Yuan, do you know that Zhen Niang's death was the cause at the beginning, and now it is the effect." β
"So, the sky is not in me. β
"Have you ever wondered why you have this life?"
Facing the crimson flowers all day long, I have been wandering here.
How long have you been wait......ing? Wait, who am I waiting for? Oh...... It seems to be a very important person.
She seems to be gone.
But...... I can't go yet, I'm going to wait for her......
β...... Would you like to trade with me?"
"As long as I can look at her again, I will be content. β
β...... I can promise you a shallow fate. At a glance, the soul is scattered, and there is no reincarnation...... Would you like to?"
"Even if it's a glance, I'm willing. β
...... As you wish.
"Are you saying that he paid for a glimpse of this life at the cost of his soul?" the boss looked surprised.
"Hmm. Xiaoxiao closed the roster book in his hand and lowered his eyelids, "But...... Now it's really over. β
But is it worth it?
She really couldn't figure it out.
"Do you know how to get to the library?"
"Oh, you just keep going ahead and turn right. β
"Oh! Thank you. Oh, by the way, my name is Li Ke. What about you?"
"You're welcome, oh, my name is Mu Zhen. β
"Then I'll go first. β
"Well, thank you, Mu Zhen. β
...... Mu Zhen.
Zhen Niang.
The man watched her walk away and suddenly laughed.
It's good to see you again.
In the future, I really won't meet again.
As if sensing something, Mu Zhen, who had already walked away, suddenly turned around, and the male classmate who asked for directions was gone.
I don't know why, she suddenly felt like crying.
What was that person's name? Why can't I remember it all of a sudden?
Tears fell silently.
