Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Mountains Chapter 285 Estrangement
"Your Highness, can you answer my question now?" asked Li Tiantian lightly.
Li Tiantian's words woke the fourth prince from his contemplation, he looked at Li Xiyun beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "If there is really a chance to come again, I don't think I will compete for the throne! I will be like my fifth brother, travel the world in a chic and free way, and it has nothing to do with me who sits on the throne!"
"So, would you choose Li Xiyun instead of marrying Ye Zining, the granddaughter of a Taifu you don't love at all, like now?" asked Li Tiantian faintly.
The fourth prince hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily, Li Xiyun looked at Li Tiantian in disbelief, and before she knew it, her eyes gradually moistened.
Li Tiantian smiled and nodded, he slowly walked in front of Li Xiyun, stretched out his hands and gently put them on Li Xiyun's shoulders, Li Xiyun looked at Li Tiantian's outstretched hands in a daze, but did not dodge.
Li Tiantian pursed his lips, forced a smile and said softly: "Xiyun, long time no see!
Li Xiyun looked at Li Tiantian as if she had been struck by lightning, and said with a forced smile: "You... Who are you calling?"
It was the fourth prince who reacted first, and hurriedly stood between Li Talent and Li Xiyun and said, "Talent, what do you say? Li Xiyun died out with the Flower Shifting Sect a few years ago, are you hallucinating because you have been too tired recently?"
Li Tiantian shook his head with a wry smile, and said lonely: "Fourth Highness, I don't know why the two of you are hiding it from me, whether I am afraid that I will endanger Xiyun's life by spreading this matter, or I am afraid that I will rob you of people." You always keep saying that we are brothers and masters, and I have never done anything to be sorry for you over the years, and I have tried my best to give you advice on how to deal with the bad tricks of other princes! You and I have been born and died so many times, I think you should be able to trust me. But I didn't expect that everything was my own passion, in your eyes, I might just be a capable minion, or... Just a dog with a brain, right?"
"Talent! Don't get me wrong, I've never thought of it that way! I really always think of you as a brother! The reason why I hide your identity from you is all because..." Before the fourth prince could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Tiantian's wave, Li Tiantian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, Jing Hong, you can't help but underestimate me too much! I Li Tiancai is not the kind of person who doesn't know what, let alone a fool! Do you think I will fight with you for Li Xiyun? If I really want you to fight for Li Xiyun, do you think I will stop hiding her identity? Your Highness, do you know why I chose to be your companion to assist you in the first place? You are obviously only the most hopeless of all the princes vying for the throne, if I had chosen the eldest prince or the second prince at that time, maybe they would have ascended the throne by this time! But I chose you because I felt that I had finally found someone who could trust me completely! But it was not until today that I finally learned that the royal family is a virtuous person, and the birds are all good, and the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys cook!"
Li Xiyun was also anxious, she shouted loudly to Li Tiantian: "Talent, don't get me wrong, all this has nothing to do with His Royal Highness! I asked him to keep a secret for me! You calm down first, let's sit down and talk about it slowly!"
Li Tiantian waved his hand, and did not pay attention to Li Xiyun, but turned his back to the fourth prince and said: "Fourth Highness, thank you for taking care of him for so many years! You can rest assured, I will settle the affairs of the second prince for you, as for the sixth prince, I believe that it will not be difficult to solve him by relying on the power that His Highness has developed over the years." As long as the six princes are resolved, your ascension to the throne should be nine out of ten, and it has nothing to do with me as for what happens in the future. After the matter of the second prince is over, I will go to the rivers and lakes with Linglong, take a look at this life, and when she gets tired of the world, I will go back to the mountains with her and never ask about the world again. Fourth Highness, I have never begged you for anything for so many years, and today I will ask you for the first and last thing!
Li Tiantian's words pierced the hearts of the four princes like sharp arrows, and the four princes felt a cramping pain in their hearts, he forcibly suppressed the churning blood in his body, and slowly closed his eyes, "Talent, I really didn't expect you to look at me like this! But even if you don't recognize me as a brother, you will always be my brother in my heart! If there is any suffering in the future, come to me at any time, and there will always be your place in my house!"
Li Tiantian nodded heavily, and walked out of the teahouse without hesitation. Looking at the back of Li Tian's distant appearance, the four princes suddenly felt a sweetness in their throats, and a surge of blood could no longer help but spurt out of their mouths! Li Xiyun hurriedly supported the four princes who were shaking, and she said with an anxious face: "Your Royal Highness! Are you okay! Don't scare me! I'll go and chase Li Tian back and explain it to him!"
The fourth prince shook his head slowly, his eyes were dilated, and he said weakly: "No need, I understand talent, and even his father can't persuade him to decide what he decides." After so many years, the talent may have been tired of the deceit of officialdom, he has already made too many sacrifices for me, and I have no reason to let him stay in the court for me to do what he is not willing to do! ”
"But....But Li has misunderstood you! Some things must always be made clear! Otherwise, will you let him misunderstand you for the rest of your life?" Li Xiyun said anxiously.
The fourth prince shook his head with a wry smile, reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, he is not as stupid as you think, no one told him your identity, but he didn't guess it himself." The natural mind is far from being comparable to ordinary people, and even if no one says some things, he will want to get them after he calms down. ”
"It's... Okay, Your Highness, I'll send you back to your home first, you already have injuries on your body, and now you are in a hurry, and your injuries will inevitably worsen, and I will re-bandage your wounds when you return home!" Li Xiyun worried.
"No matter how serious the wounds on the body are, there will always be a day when they will heal, but how long will it take for the wounds on the heart to heal!" muttered the fourth prince.
The fourth prince suddenly grabbed Li Xiyun's hand, his eyes were full of softness, "Xiyun, since we met in Huaye City a few years ago, your appearance has been deeply engraved in the hearts of me and Tiantian! We both know each other's intentions, and no one has ever mentioned you for so many years! I admit that I know your identity and don't tell Tiantian is selfish, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that he will fight with me!" But now that he has a lover in his heart, I have no worries, and when this happens, are you willing to marry me and be my princess?
