Chapter 114: Growing Together
Li Zijun gently hugged Catherine into his arms as he spoke, and both of them let their hearts get closer as much as possible, and the two lonely hearts were comforted and warmed at this moment.
"Can we really get out of here safely?" Catherine has completely transformed into a little woman in Li Zijun's arms at this moment, and she no longer has the calmness and decisiveness she had at the beginning.
"Definitely! Even if it's for each other's sake, we must get out of here alive!" Li Zijun increased the strength of his hand, hugged Catherine tightly and said.
"Promise me! Don't leave me behind again this time!" Catherine thought of the scene when the two broke up at the border last time, and a line of tears couldn't stop falling, she also hugged Li Zijun tightly, she was worried that even if she relaxed a little, Li Zijun would disappear in her arms!
"Not this time, and I swear never!" Li Zijun felt the tears dripping from Catherine's shoulder, and assured Catherine bitterly.
Li Zijun and Catherine hugged each other for a long time, and gradually, waves of ripples rippled in their hearts. The two of them were back to facing each other, the tips of their noses touching each other repeatedly, enjoying the sweetness of each other's eyelashes sweeping over each other's cheeks, and their lips gradually joined together.
Unlike in the past, Catherine not only did not avoid Li Zijun's aggression this time, but took the initiative to respond to his kiss enthusiastically, and the room instantly fell into a charm!
There are many things that become logical under the mutual affection of the two, but at this time, Li Zijun took the initiative to stop at a critical moment.
"Weishenme?" Catherine asked with a slight uneasiness as she didn't understand how Li Zijun, who had always been a little anxious, behaved like this today.
"We'll all get out of here alive, I don't want our first time to be so hasty!" Li Zijun said as he gently kissed Catherine's sexy lips again.
"I imagine that our first time should have flowers, candles, wine, everything that can be aphrodisiaced! We should be relaxed and happy!" Li Zijun said, his hands unruly again.
"Who wants to be happy with you?" Catherine's cheeks were once again bullied by Li Zijun's action, and she hurriedly pushed him aside and stood up from his arms.
Li Zijun was about to get up and hug Catherine into his arms again, when suddenly there was a stranger's footsteps outside the door, and he hurriedly pointed to Catherine in the room behind her.
At first, Catherine thought that Li Zijun was joking or changing her mind, but then she also heard footsteps, and she immediately understood what Li Zijun meant, and hid in the room behind her.
"Dangdang Dang!" With this gentle knock on the door, a delicate face appeared in Li Zijun's mind, it was a maid of the eldest princess's mansion with some status. She was originally in charge of managing Li Zijun and the other subordinates who lived in this small courtyard, and after Camilla Li Zijun and Colby moved here, at their request, the subordinates here were all removed, leaving only this maid to be responsible for the liaison between the three of them and the rest of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. This maid usually rarely appears here, I don't know today, she knocked on Li Zijun's door.
"Come in!" Li Zijun simply tidied up his clothes and raised his voice slightly.
The maid gently pushed open Li Zijun's door and walked in, and she steadied herself at the position where she had just entered.
"Mr. Nanguo, the eldest prince has come to ask for a meeting, and he is waiting outside the courtyard at the moment, look?" This maid has undergone very strict training, even in the face of Li Zijun, who is a civilian at the moment, she is polite and courteous.
"The eldest prince is here, how can you let His Highness wait outside the courtyard, take me to meet him!" Although Li Zijun was a little flustered, he had actually roughly guessed the purpose of Tiffany's appearance here. This is actually part of Li Zijun Jihua!
If Yule's father and son are successfully framed, it will be difficult for the eldest prince to be left alone! Empress Athena will definitely do everything possible to cause trouble, and even directly instruct people to pour dirty water on Tiffany. As long as Empress Athena's plan succeeds, not only will Yule die in a humble manner, but Tiffany's hard-working power structure will immediately be severely tested by the collapse of the power structure.
Based on the current strength comparison between Tiffany and Gema, Tiffany has a slight advantage, but this part of the advantage largely comes from the support of some of the military represented by Yule. Once Tiffany loses this part of Liliang's support, even if Tiffany can stabilize her situation, she will be squeezed into a very embarrassing situation by the fast-rising Jima!
At this time, Tiffany had already received the news that Hima had been in contact with the Cult of Light, and once the two of them reached an agreement, Tiffany would be in a more passive situation without external support.
In fact, this is not the most terrible result for Tiffany, what he is most worried about is that there will be something wrong in his backyard at this time, and Queen Athena will probably not let go of the opportunity to create this sensational effect!
At that point, even if Tiffany himself were to get away with it, his power structure would be in turmoil. The three women, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Jima, will never hesitate to show their grandeur to Tiffany at this time, and as they frantically impact and crush, the disintegration of Tiffany's entire system is just around the corner!
Today's Tiffany can be described as 'internal and external difficulties'! Not only does he need to keep Yule's army as much as possible, but he also needs to quickly find external help that can compete with the Cult of Light! Under the appeal of the same interests, a tripartite alliance between Tiffany, Yule, and Li Zijun has emerged.
As long as the three of them reach an agreement, most of their interests will be guaranteed, except for not being able to save Yule's life. Tiffany will retain most of the military's support because of Yule's innocence, even if the military's support weakens in the future, it will not be too fatal to him, and because of his alliance with Edlaide, it is also possible for him to finally get the support of the Dongyu Empire, which is why Tiffany is here today.
When he first saw Li Zijun's jihua, Yule lamented that he was 'bold', but also had to sigh that he had a thorough understanding of the chain of interests! This also made Yule finally agree to Li Zijun's jihua, and Yule also took the initiative to take the first step for Li Zijun: to meet Prince Tiffany. Now it looks like this step is expected to be successful in revitalizing the overall situation.
It's just that although Li Zijun has such a judgment, he also knows that his identity can't let Tiffany wait outside the courtyard for a long time, so he immediately got up from the chair and ordered the maid to take him to meet the eldest prince.
When Li Zijun approached this maid, her eyes were slightly stunned, and then she showed an expression of extreme disgust to Li Zijun, and also made a slight and imperceptible dodge action. Li Zijun easily captured these changes in the maid, and couldn't help but wonder, he didn't think he had made any rude movements, he didn't understand that this maid Weishenme would suddenly behave like this. It's just that at this time, he was in a hurry to greet Tiffany, and he didn't have time to discuss the joys and sorrows of a maid, so he walked out behind this maid.
"The eldest prince is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!" Seeing the figure of the eldest prince from a distance, Li Zijun hurriedly walked a few steps, ready to kneel and bow to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was a little absent-minded, and Li Zijun's very normal behavior actually startled him, although Tiffany tried his best to hide his emotions, his flickering eyes still betrayed the panic in his heart.
Tiffany tried to stabilize her emotions, quickly walked over to Li Zijun, and reached out in time to stop Li Zijun from saluting him.
"Mr. Nanguo, you are too polite, Xiao Wang just came over to have a casual look. This is not a formal occasion, and you don't need to make this big salute to me. Although Tiffany tried to make himself act as natural as possible, Li Zijun could clearly notice that his arm was trembling slightly.
Looking at Tiffany's expression, Li Zijun no longer had any suspicions, Tiffany must have known his identity.
In fact, Li Zijun was very sure of getting Tiffany's support before, Tiffany had to come for his throne, for his future, and for him to be able to live with dignity!
It's just that Li Zijun didn't expect Tiffany to be so afraid of himself, even to the point of being irrepressible!
Such a figure in the Monlin Empire can still be chosen as the heir, I have to say that this is the sorrow of Heller and the sorrow of the Mongrove Empire.
Although Li Zijun has already despised Tiffany in his heart, he is still extremely enthusiastic on the outside, and invites Tiffany to his room in an almost humble way.
Li Zijun and Tiffany each sat down in their seats, and the maid gave each of them a glass of honey water, and after saluting the two, she turned and walked out of the room.
The maid was supposed to leave directly, but she suddenly stopped at the door. Li Zijun instantly remembered the incident just now, and he couldn't help but wonder, he suspected that he had ignored the recent spy around him. He hurriedly waved his hand to stop Tiffany from speaking, and made a gesture to him that someone was at the door.
Tiffany was born in the royal family and was chosen by Heller as the ideal heir, so she was of course very familiar with stalking. Seeing Li Zijun's gesture, he immediately understood what was happening, and hurriedly changed the topic. The two chatted for a while, and finally returned to the research and discussion of the show, without mentioning any substantive content at all.
The maid stood at the door for a while, never hearing any meaningful information, and she was also worried that the person who came here suddenly would break through, so she hesitated for a while and turned around and left Li Zijun's compound.
Hearing the footsteps of the maid leaving, Li Zijun immediately explained the situation to Tiffany, and Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really clumsy, I've known Mr. for so long, and I haven't even seen that Mr. is the Dongyu military god of the two empires of Megatron Menglin and Turkish-Hungarian!" Tiffany has come to ask for help, and she is very polite to Li Zijun, and still calls Li Zijun 'sir'.
"It's a last resort to deceive you for so long, I hope you don't be surprised!" Li Zijun stood up and saluted Tiffany again.
"Xiao Wang is not a foolish person, I also have a deep understanding of Mr.'s difficulties!It's just that I didn't expect your disguise technique to be so magical, I really always thought that Mr. was a grassland man in his early thirties, even if I look at you like this now, I can't believe that you are actually several years younger than me!" Tiffany got up and grabbed Li Zijun and said affectionately.
"During this time, I have been living every day like a year, and I am afraid that I will be old by the age of thirty!" Li Zijun joked. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw that Tiffany was still not on topic at this time, and he also took the opportunity to accompany Tiffany in circles.
"Sir, is it true that Gavin told me that my father was going to sacrifice General Yule?" Tiffany originally wanted to use Edlaide's life to take the initiative in the right to speak, but he didn't expect Li Zijun to behave unhurriedly all the time, as if he didn't care about his life and death. Time was tight, and Tiffany had to get down to business first.
"On the surface, this matter seems to be a trap set by Heller Bixia to deal with me, but in fact, his main concern is to get rid of General Yule!"
"Get rid of General Yule, how is this possible?" said Tiffany.
"Nothing is impossible!Heller Bixia's goal is limited to General Yule, which does not conflict in any way with Heller Bixia's previous promise to you!"
"How do you know," Tiffany blurted out, but only halfway through the conversation, he noticed his gaffe, but he still looked at Li Zijun in surprise.
Li Zijun easily guessed what Tiffany didn't say anything, Heller must have talked to Tiffany about the consideration of Monlin's heir before, looking at Tiffany's expression at the moment, Heller should have at least a clear hint to him.
Yule is Tiffany's most powerful backup, Tiffany doesn't understand that since his father has already made such a statement, Weishenme will touch his own roots, and he even has some doubts about the authenticity of Li Zijun and Gavin saying this to him.
"In fact, it is because Heller Bixia took action against General Yule that it really shows that you have become the most ideal heir in Heller Bixia's mind!"
Hearing Li Zijun's words, Tiffany showed even more confused eyes, not understanding what Li Zijun meant. In his opinion, he and Yule have become one, one is prosperous and the other is lost! How can this still be separated, but the meaning of Li Zijun's words is to treat them separately.
"The stability of the throne depends to a large extent on whether there is a delicate balance between the various armies! It is a very dangerous phenomenon for one party to dominate or to be a great power! Heller Bixia does not want to leave any hidden dangers in your future, so before you officially become the sole heir of the Monlin Empire, you must sweep away all the insecurity after your accession to the throne. General Yule is unfortunate and bears the brunt of it!" Seeing Tiffany's expression of sudden realization, Li Zijun knew that he had been completely pulled onto his big boat.
"It's just that Heller Bixia is a little greedy, and while he sacrificed General Yule, he not only prepared to trap me in it, but also intended to use the punishment of the third prince afterwards to warn your other brothers and sisters, so that they no longer have illusions about the throne!"
"But Heller's move ignores the reaction of the Empress Dowager and Empress Athena, and by the time he realizes this, they have already chosen Hima to compete for the heir!" Li Zijun laughed coldly, full of disdain for Heller's unrealistic vision.
"The unexpected addition of Jima has also added great variables to your accession!"
"What's the variable?" Tiffany asked nervously.
"Needless to say, Hima has always been the best of your siblings!Heller Bixia is still young, and he must also allow a reserve heir to exist in order to succeed to the throne in the future. With the acquiescence of Heller Bixia, the eldest princess Hima takes on the role. ”
"It's not a big deal, but Queen Athena doesn't seem to stop there, she has higher expectations for the eldest princess. She hopes that the eldest princess can sit directly in the position of heir, and she is the only heir of the Monlin Empire! It is because of this goal that Gibran appeared in the eldest princess's mansion, and Empress Athena wants to ensure that the eldest princess is completely out of the matter of General Yule!"
"This action of Empress Athena easily reminds us that she already has a complete set of jihua - take down General Yul and pull you into the water at the same time! And once her jihua succeeds, you will completely lose the qualification to become the heir. ”
"You and Gavin both told me that Empress Athena was going to frame me, but I couldn't figure out what she would do?
Looking at Tiffany's innocent appearance, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart!
"It's very simple, framed!"
"If I were to arrange this, I would put some evidence of your collusion with the Empire in both General Yule and your mansion!
"You know more about Heller Bixia's personality than I do, what do you think he would think if he saw these things?"
Li Zijun's words were like a bomb, and they shook Tiffany's face pale at that time!
"Is this also General Yule's judgment?"
"This is also the zuihou thing that General Yule is going to do for you!" Li Zijun said with a lost expression.
"You must not think that what General Yule is doing today is treason. This is a point I must stress to you! In fact, General Jule had the opportunity to leave the Monlin Empire and leave the Monlin Empire, and at the beginning of our cooperation, I offered to leave the Monlin Empire with him. He even promised him to ensure the safety of the general's family as much as possible!"
"But what makes me strange is that he actually gave up, without hesitation!"
"It wasn't until just now that I understood what the general was making such a choice for!"
"Don't think I'm going to say it's for you, at least you don't have that qualifications yet!" Li Zijun shook his head with a wry smile.
When Tiffany saw Li Zijun's expression, he couldn't help but immediately lift his spirits.
"The general is for the Monlin Empire, so that the Monlin Empire will not fall into the hands of evil women like Empress Athena and the eldest princess Jima in the future!"
A hint of disbelief flashed in Tiffany's eyes!
"It's normal for you to have doubts about my claims, but you also have to think about it, if General Yule is not for you, is it necessary for him to tell you about our relationship?"
"The reason why the general asked us to meet is on the one hand that he hopes that after he leaves, it won't have much impact on you, and on the other hand, he also wants to help you get in touch with the Dongyu Empire through my connection! Although we have been in a state of hostility, this will not actually prevent us from becoming a pair of friends who help each other! What do you think?"
"What should I do?"
"Preserve yourself! Khor Fakkan will change dramatically when I leave the palace with General Jule, and you must prevent others from storming your palace for any reason, even if he is in possession of your father's warrant. Believe me, Heller Bixia will never blame you for this incident! But once any unfavorable evidence is found in your house, at that time, even if Heller Bixia has the intention to protect you, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it!"
"Weishenme, can't you tell my father in advance about this matter?"
"How do you tell him, that you have already met us, that you know about my alliance with General Yule, and that the Dongyu Empire will support you to become the heir of the Monlin Empire in the future?"
"If you really said that, what would Heller Bixia think of you?" Li Zijun said as he looked at Tiffany and Co. slightly.
"And what we're talking about now is based on speculation, can you show evidence that Empress Athena is going to frame you?
"That's all I have to do?"
"As long as you are preserved and General Yul is not caught by them again, you will be at a temporary disadvantage, but I believe that you will soon reverse this decline. If you can do this, you will already be the greatest help to General Yule!" Although Li Zijun had a request, he knew that he must not take the initiative to say it at this time, it would make Tiffany feel that he was being used, and he made a gesture that the conversation was about to end.
"Would Empress Athena really do that?" Tiffany was still a little skeptical.
"The eldest prince, if Empress Athena doesn't have any conspiracy, she wants to let the eldest princess pretend to be sick at this time?"
"Jima is feigning illness?" asked Tiffany, looking at Li Zijun in surprise.
Li Zijun didn't speak again this time, just nodded slightly.
After Tiffany received an affirmative reply from Li Zijun, he sat there for a long time without saying a word, and he repeatedly considered the cause and effect of this incident.
"I trust you! It's just that I don't want to be a bystander, I think I can give you some help! Please tell me what I can do for you?" Tiffany finally made the decision to work with Lee. It's just that he also knows very well that interests and responsibilities are always a pair of inseparable brothers, and they will grow together.
