Li Liao's mind gradually recalled that night many years ago, when the old emperor and prince Li Shu passed away one after another, and Li Yao succeeded to the throne.
That dinner was held by Li Yao to celebrate his ascension to the throne. All the princes and nobles in the capital went there, and the scene was very grand.
At that time, the princess was still alive, and Li Liao hid her in an unknown place outside the city.
His mind was full of how to arrange the Crown Princess and the child in her womb. When he was upset, he didn't notice when Princess Rouwan disappeared beside him.
When he saw the princess again, she looked devastated, her face was as white as paper, as if she had suffered a huge blow.
But no matter how he asked, the princess refused to say what happened to him, but kept repeating four words—
I want to go home.
So Li Liao bid farewell in advance, and hastily led the princess out of the palace.
Since then, the princess's whole person has changed.
…
Li Liao gently put the wine glass back on the table, and exhaled slowly.
"Would you believe me if I said no?"
Li Ji stared into his eyes, never heard any voice from his heart.
This shows that at this moment, he is indeed telling the truth.
Li Liao's back was always straight, which was a habit he had developed in the army for many years.
But at this moment, his back bent down unknowingly, and his whole body seemed to be several years old.
"I really didn't know that the late emperor would do such a thing to the princess. If I had known that she would suffer such humiliation, I would definitely not have brought her into the palace that night."
Li Ji's expression softened slightly, but the words he asked were still sharp.
"What happened after that? The princess suddenly changed his temper after returning home, and even thought about taking away the child in his stomach. Haven't you delved into the reason?"
Another long silence.
Li Liao raised his right hand, covered his eyes, and spoke with difficulty.
"I did investigate secretly. After I learned the truth, I was very angry. I wanted to rush into the palace and kill the dog emperor, but my reason told me not to be impulsive. I had to calm down and think about it carefully. How to do."
Li Ji took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then you thought of Tao Dai Li Zhuang's plan?"
Li Liao's lips trembled, and it took him a while to make a sound.
"I originally imagined that when the princess gave birth to a child, I would take you home.
I will announce to the public that the princess gave birth to twins and let you grow up with that child.
But it's not as good as God's calculation, the child died as soon as he appeared.
I can only bury that child quietly, and let you replace that child.
The dog emperor didn't know the inside story.
He thought you were the illegitimate child of him and the princess, so he would definitely take good care of you.
With his protection, you will be able to grow up safely in the dangerous city of Shangjing. "
Having said this, Li Liao twitched the corners of his mouth and forced out a mocking sneer.
"I only hate that Emperor Dog died too early. If he was still alive and heard me tell the truth with his own ears, how angry and regretful would he be
I really want to see how wonderful his expression was at that moment? "
In order to win the throne, Li Yao did not hesitate to kill his father and brother, framed his loyal ministers, and even insulted his ministers' wives after drinking, all of which were his crimes, and he deserved death.
But Li Ji still asked in a low voice.
"does it worth?"
Even though Li Yao was dead, the truth came out, and Prince Li Shu was able to wash away his grievances, but the relationship between Li Liao and Princess Rouwan was completely ruined.
Trade the love of your life for a truth.
Is it worth it
Li Liao slowly lowered his hand, revealing his red eyes.
"I'm sorry for her."
He fulfilled his promise to the princess and repaid the favor of the prince Li Shu.
He brought the whole court out of chaos, and let everyone in the world know the crimes committed by Li Yao.
He is a loyal minister and good general enough to leave his name in history.
He is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, but he is only sorry for that woman.
…
Inside the town government.
Princess Rouwan was tired from crying, and finally calmed down a little.
Hua Manman wanted to help her go back to the house to rest for a while.
But Princess Rouwan wiped away her tears and her voice was hoarse.
"I want to go home."
Hua Manman was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this your home?"
Princess Rouwan: "I want to go back to the princess' mansion."
As the princess, she naturally has her own mansion, but before she got married, she always lived with her parents in the princess mansion, and after she got married, she followed Li Liao to live in the Zhen Guogong mansion.
So that princess's mansion has always been idle, and she has never lived in it.
Hua Manman understood her mood and knew that she wanted to find a quiet place to calm down.
That's fine, there are memories of the princess and Li Liao everywhere in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, staying here will only make her keep thinking about the past of these years, and her mood will become more gloomy. It's better to change the environment to help adjust her mood.
"I'll take you there."
The servants quickly packed the luggage.
Princess Rouwan picked out a few people who were more useful in daily life, and moved with her to the princess mansion.
Before leaving, Hua Manman didn't forget to have someone send a message to the Prince Regent's Mansion, telling Li Ji that she had gone to the Princess Mansion.
Naturally, there are people in charge in the palace of the princess. When he saw the sudden appearance of Princess Rouwan, he was taken aback and hurriedly sent people to clean up the house.
The pass survived, and the sun had already set.
Princess Rouwan stays for dinner.
Hua Manman also wanted to talk to the princess, so she readily agreed.
Because she was in a bad mood, Princess Rouwan drank a lot of wine, and Hua Manman also drank a few glasses with her.
Drunken, the two gradually lost their scruples when talking.
Princess Rouwan slapped the table hard, saying bitterly.
"The world is as black as crows, and there is nothing good about men!
When you first proposed to marry me, you listened to me in everything you said, and let me order you from now on.
He also said that if I told him to go east, he would never dare to go west, and if I asked him to eat vegetables, he would never dare to drink soup.
The results of it
Talking like farting, it's all a lie! "
Hua Manman hugged her shoulders, comforting her.
"If you can believe what a man says, a sow can climb a tree.
Don't be sad, just make up with each other, and the next one will be better!
Do you know what a man looks like
Like the wine in our glass, if you don't like it, pour it out and change to another wine. "
After finishing speaking, Hua Manman picked up the wine glass and sprinkled the wine in it to the side.
The action is very chic.
However, when the glass of wine was spilled, the wine just landed on the uppers of a pair of black brocade boots.
Hua Manman paused while holding the wine glass.
She raised her head slowly, looked up along the black brocade boots, and looked into a pair of deep eyes that were as black as ink.
Li Ji was standing two steps away, with one hand behind his back, looking at her with a half-smile.
he asked playfully.
"It seems that you are in a hurry to change a glass of wine?"
Hua Manman's scalp is tense, why did the dog man suddenly appear here? !
She immediately stuffed the wine glass into Princess Rouwan's hand, and reprimanded him righteously.
"Princess, even if you don't like this glass of wine, you can't pour it down. It's shameful to waste food!"
Princess Rouwan:? ?
