Volume 2 The Tiger Returns to the Deep Mountains Chapter 403 Choice
In the huge dormitory, there was surprisingly no palace maid and eunuch, only a lonely and emaciated figure sitting there alone. There was no trace of gleam in her eyes, just like an old woman in her last years, staring blankly at the shining gold and jade beads in front of her.
A tear slowly slid down his cheek, dripping on the priceless jewels, how cheap it looked! one drop, then the second, then the third.....
"Brother, I want to eat steamed buns and fennel filling!"
"Brother, I can't walk anymore, I want you to carry me on my back!"
"Brother, I'm so cold, when will this snow stop!"
......
Under this filthy world, a lonely little boy takes care of an irrelevant little girl with all his hard work without asking for anything in return, and all he wants is the heartbreaking "brother" who screams heartbreakingly!
The little girl thought that she and her brother would live together as carefree for the rest of their lives, but I don't know when she and her brother were like Altair and Vega in the sky, missing each other but not seeing each other.
When we meet again, it is so heartbreaking!
The scene in Tianluo City that year seemed to Li Xiyun as if it was just yesterday, and what her brother did for her appeared one after another. How she wished that they could go back to the past, even if they gave up all the glory and wealth, and gave up the honorable status that was the envy of all women in the world, she was willing to continue to follow her brother and be the little beggar who could be happy all day long with a meal of steamed buns!
Unconsciously, tears have flowed all over Li Xiyun's cheeks, where does Li Xiyun still have the majesty of the world at this time? She is not the master of the harem who is strategizing, nor is she Li Yichou who is almost a demon in wisdom, nor is she a talented and intelligent disciple of the Flower Shifting Sect, she is just the little girl who wants to hide behind her brother!
Li Xiyun suddenly laughed, but the bleak smile on her beautiful face was like a withering begonia, which was regrettable.
At this time, a steady footstep stopped behind Li Xiyun. Li Xiyun didn't turn to look, because she knew that no one except that person would dare to set foot in her dormitory so casually.
A pair of hands gently hugged her slender waist from behind, and Jing Hong was about to get down
Ba put it on her shoulder and said softly: "I heard the palace maid say that you haven't eaten for two days, is it that the food they cook in the imperial dining room is not to your taste? ”
Li Xiyun shook her head, and said with blank eyes: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the concubine is not hungry and can't eat." ”
Jing Hong sighed, let go of the hand around Li Xiyun's waist, slowly sat down beside her and said, "Xiyun, I know that you have met your brother, I don't know what the two of you said when you meet again after being separated for many years, and I have never asked you. But I don't ask you doesn't mean that I don't care about you, but because I know that you feel uncomfortable! Li Zhichen conspired to rebel and co-opted a group of people in the rivers and lakes in a reckless attempt to overthrow the Tongtian Dynasty, and according to the Tongtian calendar, those who plot rebellion should be punished by the Nine Clans and executed by Ling Chi! The Tongtian Dynasty is the foundation left by the ancestors, if the ancestral foundation is folded in my hands, what face will I have to go to the emperor? Therefore, the grievances between me and Li Yichen are already a dead end, and no one can solve them! There is only one way to end this dead end, either he dies or I die!"
Li Xiyun looked at Jing Hong's determined eyes and muttered, "Is there really no other way?"
Jing Hong sneered and asked, "Do you think you can let Li Yichen retire now?"
Li Yichen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head. Li Zhichen's rebellion is already a matter known to the whole world, and now almost all the eyes of almost all people, whether it is the rivers and lakes, the temples, or the ordinary people in the world, are fixed on Li Zhichen! Even if Li Zhichen intends to withdraw from the army now, it is already ready to be launched! As long as the bow is fired, there will be no turning back! What's more, Li Zhichen has no intention of retiring from the army at all, and now whether it is Li Zhichen or Li Tian, they all believe that Jing Hong killed the beloved in their hearts, how can they give up with the hearts of the two of them?
Seeing Li Xiyun shaking his head, Jing Hong said coldly: "Xiyun, to tell you the truth, in this situation, even if Li Yichen is willing to withdraw from the army, I will definitely not let him go! Since the ancestral emperor ascended the throne and became emperor, there has never been a rebellion in the Tongtian Dynasty. If I let Li Zhichen go this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to announcing that it is not a capital crime for the world to rebel! In this way, there will be a second 'Li Zhichen' and a third 'Li Zhichen', where will the face of the imperial court be at that time? Therefore, for me, Li Zhichen must die!"
Li Xiyun smiled sadly: "For him,
Your Majesty is the same. ”
Jing Hong didn't look bad when he heard this, but said lightly: "So there is no room for maneuver between me and him. ”
Li Xiyun lowered his head and stopped making a sound, Jing Hong couldn't help but feel a pain when he looked at the sluggish Li Xiyun in front of him.
After half a ring, Jing Hong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Xiyun's cheeks, wiped the tears on her face and said softly: "Xiyun, I don't want you to be so painful." I know that the most uncomfortable person is not me, nor Li Yichen, but you! I want to see you laugh, I don't want to see you cry, Xiyun, don't cry, okay?"
Li Xiyun's face forced a smile, but her eyes were still full of crystal tears, "Your Majesty, what should I do? I really don't want to see any of you have an accident!"
As if he had made some major decision, Jing Hong closed his eyes dullly, and said with a long sigh: "Xiyun, I give you a chance to choose, do you want to return to your brother to accompany him or stay by my side to accompany me!"
Li Xiyun was stunned after listening to Jing Hong's words, as if she didn't react.
Jing Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, I won't blame you." I just don't want you to be in as much pain as you are now!"
"Isn't it painful for me to make this choice?"
Jing Hong didn't speak again this time, because he knew that this choice Li Xiyun had to do no matter what! Anyone could escape, but she couldn't!
Li Xiyun smiled sadly, and muttered to herself: "When we met that day, he had broken off the relationship between brother and sister with me. He knew I couldn't make that choice, so he made it for me!"
"This may be the last time he will protect me!"
Jing Hong was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Yichen to cut off relations with Li Xiyun so decisively! Although he said that no matter what choice Li Xiyun made, he would not blame her, but in fact, the reason why he treated Li Xiyun at this time was nothing more than to make Li Xiyun give up Li Zhichen, which was also a little selfishness of Jing Hong! Put himself in his shoes, Jing Hong thought that he did not have the decisive spirit like Li Yichen and broke off with his sister En who had been looking for so many years!
He Jinghong is not as good as Li Yichen!
