Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Can't Help Myself

When Li Longji's monster-like killing in the palace reached the ears of Princess Taiping, she couldn't believe that more than ten years of business were ruined.

It should be said that she did not expect this day to come so quickly.

She thought that her eldest nephew Li Chengqi would fight to the death with Li Longji for the throne. But she didn't understand why Li Chengqi suddenly gave up the position of the prince at his fingertips, and instead gave up this position that made countless people crazy to Li Longji.

Li Chengqi's open-mindedness made Princess Taiping think of her brother Li Dan, who did not fight or rob, and she would not have thought that although Li Longji was cold by nature, his aunt and son could be killed, but the brotherhood in his heart had never been forgotten.

At the end of Wu Zetian's reign, on the day Li Longji and his brothers were released from captivity, the brothers were drunk in the courtyard and promised never to turn against each other.

Each of them kept this agreement firmly in their hearts.

Years later, when Li Longji and his brothers gathered, they laughed and played as they did when they were children, and when they were drunk, they lay on each other's laps. It's still in that small courtyard, where there are no sons of heaven and princes, only brothers.

Taiping didn't understand very much, even if his brother gave up the throne, his mother's suspicion of him never decreased. So when Li Chengqi was in charge of the forbidden army, she repeatedly tried to provoke the relationship between him and Li Longji, but there was no progress, and she couldn't even stuff her own people into the forbidden army.

If she couldn't make a plan, she found a few warlocks and slandered Li Dan in the name of celestial phenomena, saying that the celestial phenomena were unlucky, and the main prince entered Ziwei and ascended to the great treasure.

The most incomprehensible thing for her is that if she followed her mother Wu Zetian's temperament, the crown prince Li Xian would have been cut by a thousand knives and dragged out to feed the dogs.

But the brother in front of him slapped his thigh, and his excitement overflowed to tell her that a word is a certainty, double happiness is coming, I have long missed this spell! happily relinquished the throne.

Zen let go, let go, let ......

Taiping knew that from this moment on, no one could be relied on, she could only rely on herself, so she decided to launch a coup d'état and establish Xinhe Liansheng!

It's just that she didn't figure it out, obviously she was a flying dragon riding face, the advantage was in my situation, and the highest power of the empire was at her fingertips, why was she suddenly beaten back to her original form?

She didn't have time to think anymore, the harsh reality shattered all her dreams, and it only took a moment to go from heaven to hell.

At this moment, she is no longer the princess Taiping of Zhenguo, who is half a lackey of the princess in the middle of the court, but a down-and-out woman who has lost everything, and can only take a few relatives with her and flee to Zhongnanshan in a hurry.

The person who fled to Zhongnanshan after the failed coup d'état a few years ago is called Li Chongjun.

Unexpectedly, but it was reasonable, there was no obstacle along the way, as if Li Longji deliberately let her escape from Chang'an City.

Princess Taiping knows this nephew too well, and he is so ruthless that he has to punish people for murder. Being able to let her escape honestly is nothing more than to look at the face of the Emperor Taishang and give her a decent face.

Just when she was about to return to Chang'an and go on the road decently, news came from the inner servant that the Emperor Taishang was waiting in the princess's mansion.

Princess Taiping couldn't help but smile with relief, she was able to go on the road under her brother's farewell, and the palace was not alone.

What she didn't expect was that her brother was standing at the door, waiting for her arrival.

A thousand words, when they come to their mouths, just turn into a greeting.

"Come in, I'm waiting for you." Li Dan just smiled gently, and didn't blame his sister too much.

Princess Taiping only thought that what Li Dan said "waiting for her" was a wine or white silk, and when she walked into the house, she raised her eyes and saw a familiar and unfamiliar face.

"Ah ......," she called halfway, but stopped.

She looked back at Li Dan and smiled softly: "Brother has bothered to find someone so similar to Aya." ”

"He's Ayer." Li Dan said immediately.

Of course, Princess Taiping would not believe that it took Li Dan a long time to make her accept that the person in front of her was really Li Zhi.

Looking at her father and second brother, who were more than ten years younger than herself, Princess Taiping choked up for a long time and didn't say anything.

The emotions that have accumulated over the years can be said at once. The experiences over the years have taught her to hide her emotions in her heart, and she wants to talk about something, but she doesn't know where to start.

Li Zhi comforted this little daughter who had never met before, even if she had never seen it, but the feeling that blood was thicker than water was not a lie. Li Zhi choked up and couldn't help himself, he couldn't imagine how much his little daughter had suffered over the years to become like this.

The long-lost fatherly love and family affection seem to awaken her heart like a pool of stagnant water. The forty-eight-year-old Princess Taiping stood there, looking at her affectionate eyes, full of the appearance of herself wearing a military uniform when she was sixteen years old, begging her father for a horse.

She remembered that it was a sunny afternoon, and she wore a military uniform, and her eyes were full of high spirits and pride, and she came to the court to dance with a sword.

She still remembers herself at that moment, with Aye's doting, she will definitely get what she wants.

When she lost her mind, a familiar voice pulled her back from her memory.

"You...... Is that the future me? ”

Princess Taiping raised her head and saw her youthful self in a trance, and the happiness between her eyebrows could not be hidden.

Two lines of tears could not help but flow, since Xue Lang starved to death in prison, she had never shown a real smile. Even if Wu Zetian was half out of displeasure and half out of the countless graces that she had been rewarded, she couldn't be truly happy.

Fortunately, under her flattery, in the ruthless clutches of the queen mother, she saved the two children of He Xue Lang. And in the process of arguing with her nephew, she has also been deliberately alienating the two children and not letting them participate in the slightest.

In history, Li Longji uprooted Princess Taiping's party and killed them all, but he did not touch Xue Chongjian's brothers, but was simply demoted from the capital and got a good death.

"Hmm."

Princess Taiping nodded heavily, she did not regret coming to this point.

"Why are you crying?" The girl Taiping stretched out a pair of tender hands and wiped her tears for her.

Yes, this is who I was back then, naïve and ignorant of the world.

Princess Taiping choked up and couldn't speak, and thousands of words turned into tears pouring down like rain.

When the girl Taiping saw her like this, she couldn't help but panic, she subconsciously turned around and shouted, "Xue Lang, Xue Lang?" ”

How did she know that when Princess Taiping heard this call, she immediately covered her face with her sleeves, turned around and hurried away.

"Hey, how did you go?" The girl Taiping stomped her foot and asked.

Princess Taiping didn't answer, all she wanted now was to get out of here as soon as possible.

She didn't want the only man she had ever loved in her life to see her embarrassed appearance.
