Chu Xiang.

Li Ke also entrusted all local affairs to Shen Cheng, and when he had free time, he began to write letters to his mother.

"Your Highness has written dozens of letters."

"Be prepared to deal with her problems."

Shen Cheng reminded: "Especially the first birthday letter of the county lord of Fujing. ”

"This one has been written." Li Ke also nodded.

My sister gave birth to a little princess, and although it was a girl, the queen was also very happy that she had a granddaughter.

"Your Highness......"

Shen Cheng twisted and pinched, and was silent.

Only then did Li Ke notice that he was holding something behind him.

Looking at Shen Cheng's expression, Li Ke also guessed a few points, "Show me." ”

Sure enough, it was a red invitation.

The invitation card depicts a couple holding hands, the woman is wearing a phoenix crown, and the groom is proud.

This is Ah Tang's painting.

Li Ke also stroked the smiling bride on the picture with his fingertips, and said with a wry smile: "She knew that I wouldn't go, so she painted it to me, she was retaliating against me, she wanted me to see her marry someone else, how naïve." ”

His hands trembled more and more, and the cold sweat on his forehead was like raindrops, and Shen Cheng was worried about helping him.

"Your Highness......"

Li Ke finally took the pen steadily, took a piece of white letter paper, and wrote a few words freely.

-

"Congratulations to the royal brother's wedding, the imperial brother is in Chuxiang, and he can't come out unless he is edicted, and he can't watch the ceremony. The royal brother and sister-in-law are a match made in heaven, and I wish it will always be good. ”

Meng Qingtang read this letter from Chu Xiang repeatedly, and his expression became more and more ugly.

"Tang Tang?" Li Jue tried to call her.

Meng Qingtang tore it to pieces and fell to the ground one after another.

"Why didn't the queen go with him?"

"My father is critically ill and will be choked at any time, but the queen refuses to leave."

"He killed your mother, why didn't you have anger towards him?" Meng Qingtang looked at him directly and asked in a heavy voice.

Li Jue pursed her lips and said for a long time: "Because my mother concubine did not die, Li Ke also abolished my mother concubine, and hung her life with pills, I have to hold their mother and son." ”

It's hard for him to be rebellious, and now it's his turn to take care of people.

Therefore, the queen can stay in Jinling City with peace of mind, because she holds Li Jue's lifeblood in her hands. ”

"No one coerced him, he clearly knew that the road ahead was smooth, why did he give up the low-hanging throne?"

Meng Qingtang couldn't figure it out, "He went to Chu Xiang and stayed away from his biological mother, why?" ”

Li Jue wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head.

"If you don't delve into some things, you'll be confused, so why bother to figure it out."

"yes, yes." Feng Yan used her hand to pick up the shredded paper on the ground and echoed.

Meng Qingtang took a few steps back and sat down, propped his elbows on the coffee table, and pinched his eyebrows.

I thought carefully about the bits and pieces of those months.

"Something is wrong with him, something is wrong with him."

He would never speak ill of anyone, so how could he say such an excessive thing to her. He did it on purpose.

Li Jue gasped, "You just don't want to believe that he is unkind, and you still fantasize that he has a hard time?" ”

Feng Yan put the shredded paper she picked up into the brazier and lit a flame for a moment.

There was silence in the room, except for the sound of coals burning.

Meng Qingtang suddenly got up and walked out, and Li Jue hurriedly took the fiery red fox fur cloak on the shelf and put it on her.

"Where?"

"East Palace."

-

Everything seems to be the same as before, but it is very different.

The queen ordered someone to clean the East Palace regularly, and for her, Li Ke is still the prince and will come back sooner or later.

In the cabinet, only a blue-bottomed silk bedgown embroidered with a green mountain tiger remained.

Meng Qingtang stretched out his hand to stroke the tiger's hair, she embroidered for many days, and finally showed it to him, he praised this embroidery to the sky, and used up all the nice words.

In the end, he said, the cat is very good-looking.

But she embroidered a tiger, the king of beasts.

He seemed to like the bedgown very much, and always wore it as long as it was in the clean clothes of choice.

But now it was alone in the brown sandalwood cabinet, so lonely.

"You embroider one for me, and I will wear it for the rest of my life." Li Jue helped her close the cabinet door.

Meng Qingtang ignored it and looked around.

He didn't even take away the set of jade pine and cypress evergreen tea sets that he was used to, and the remaining bed clothes didn't mean anything.

She took a deep breath, "I'll go to the study, don't come along." ”

Li Jue was so embarrassed that he froze in place, and couldn't help but look at the closed cabinet door again.

Someone did ...... It's really deliberate.

The study is neat and tidy, and the pen and inkstone are all on the case. A pile of books stacked on top of each other.

Meng Qingtang flipped through the books one by one, full of poems, or etiquette, or prehistory, or Lund, there was nothing special.

She suddenly remembered something, and opened one of the easternmost drawers in the Duobao Pavilion.

My heart was cold.

Seven picture scrolls, none of which were missing, and he didn't take any of them with him.

That's Li Keyi, which she painted.

She closed the drawer and suddenly felt ridiculous.

What are you trying to prove by flipping through these things?

Prove that he has her in his heart?

Meng Qingtang, how did you live like this.

Seven scrolls were piled on the ground, and with a wave of her hand, the scrolls were engulfed in flames.

The rope on the top of the painting was burned and rolled down, revealing a short scene from the picture.

Meng Qingtang's eyes were stunned, and he swooped over and pushed the painting away.

This is an ink painting, not from her hand.

The fire was extinguished instantly.

She hurriedly opened the other paintings, biting her lip to keep herself from crying.

He had said that the drawer belonged to her, and that only her drawings were placed.

She said that the reason why these paintings are tied with red rope is because the flowers bloom and the lotus is tilian, and the moon is old and pulls the red thread.

So he used the exact same painting scroll and changed seven paintings to put here, just to trick her into not taking it away.

But he took it.

He must have taken it.

-

This winter has been a bit rough.

Overnight, the snow was knee-deep.

"Your Highness hasn't seen such heavy snow for a long time, so I didn't let my subordinates sweep it away, just wait for Your Highness to get up and take a look."

Shen Cheng helped Li Ke to get up, waited for him to wash and dress, and then put a ferret coat on him, and then helped him to the door.

"Ah Tang has only been to Gusu except for Jinling City, and she must have never seen such a big snow."

Li Ke also reached out to catch a piece of snow, and the snow did not melt in his cold palm.

His hands were even sickly pale in the snow.

"Today is her wedding date, and I don't know if the sky in Jinling City is good or not."

Shen Cheng was dumbfounded, "Your Highness, are you willing?" ”

Li Ke's eyes flashed with struggle, and he said slowly: "You are a person, which pot can't be opened." Shen Cheng, you remember, if he dared to bully Ah Tang, you led your troops to kill him, and then helped other princes to take the throne. ”

If there was another choice, he wouldn't pick Li Jue, Li Jue is not a good thing.

"Whom?"

"Listen to the queen mother, who she says is who she is."

After talking a lot, he was a little tired from wheezing, and Shen Cheng hurriedly helped him sit down. Li Ke also thought about it, and said, "King Qiong can't do it." ”

Shen Cheng nodded, "Yes, I understand." ”
