"The death of the princess was hidden by Mr. Han, and only he and I knew about it." Li Qiushui said, "Later, Mr. Han ordered me to pretend to be the princess and go to Beidi to get married for her. Half a year later, I was in Beidi. I received a letter from Mr. Han, saying that he has formed an alliance with Ashina Khan, and asked me to help him consolidate his power in Beidi."
After listening to Li Qiushui's words, Li Changtian was speechless for a long time.
The world is complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, and who can judge right and wrong.
Standing on the white marble steps in front of the attic, the two of them could see the bustling Baidi City from a distance, and a river meandered into the city like a dragon swimming.
Li Changtian suddenly asked, "Sister, now that you have returned to the Central Plains, have you thought about leaving?"
"Leave?" Li Qiushui was startled.
"Yeah, what do you call this thing? It's a mess of beatings and killings. Have you ever thought of leaving here, abandoning your status as a pro-princess, and becoming Li Qiushui again?" Li Changtian said.
Li Qiushui turned to look at him, with a surprised expression on his face: "But... but where can we go if we leave?"
"You can go anywhere!" Li Changtian said, "The world is so big, do you still worry about where to settle down? I am not stupid anymore, I will take good care of you, and I will never let you live in hardship again."
Li Qiushui looked at him in surprise.
She never thought of such a thing.
Her body is like duckweed, once the catkins are blowing in the wind, she just wants to live well.
The reason why she followed Han Ya, hid in Tianque Villa at his order, and sent Beidi soldiers to the Central Plains was because Li Qiushui knew that if she didn't do this, she would become an abandoned child with no way out.
For these years, Li Qiushui has been looking for a way out in Beidi.
But she gradually realized that she had no way out.
The reason why Ashina Khan's attitude towards her changed from contempt to respect is because she obeyed Han Ya.
She wants to bring Li Changtian, who is only childlike, to survive in Beidi, so she can only obey Han Ya's orders.
So this matter, from the very beginning, was not just as simple as a substitute marriage.
"It's getting late, Chang Tian should hurry up and rest." Li Qiushui smiled and avoided the question.
Li Changtian glanced at her, didn't say any more, nodded and said: "Okay."
The two separated, Li Qiushui stood in place, with the night wind blowing on her face, she stared at the Baidi City not far away, which had not moved for a long time.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind Li Qiushui.
She turned her head to look, and saw Li Changtian came back again, he took a light green outerwear, put it on Li Qiushui and said: "Sister, don't stand here to enjoy the cool breeze, it's not good for your health, you should go back and rest quickly Bar."
Li Qiushui smiled, and called his name: "A Wu."
Ah Wu paused, and sighed: "It really can't be hidden from the princess' eyes."
"Thank you." Li Qiushui gathered the clothes on his body, "Did the three thousand soldiers from Beidi hide in Tianque Villa?"
"Back to the princess, they are all hidden." Ah Wu responded, "Master Han, you should be arriving at Baidi City soon."
"You've worked hard." Li Qiushui smiled, "Go and rest."
Ah Wu shook his head: "I don't feel sleepy, if the princess wants to enjoy the scenery, I can accompany the princess."
Li Qiushui said with a smile: "Then you can take a look with me."
Ah Wu suppressed the joy in his heart: "Okay."
-
At the same time, after Li Changtian and Li Qiushui parted, they did not immediately return to the guest room.
He walked up and down the stone steps of the attic, exploring the terrain and building structure. During this period, he met many guards, but because Li Changtian held Li Qiushui's token, no one challenged him.
Li Changtian found that these attics were all built on isolated peaks, surrounded by almost vertical cliffs and cliffs. Even bending over to look at them would make one feel terrified, and the only place he could leave was the wooden trestle bridge.
Both ends of the bridge are heavily guarded, no matter who comes in or out, they have to identify themselves.
Li Changtian wandered around a few times, but couldn't find a way to secretly take someone out of this place, so he walked to the wing in disappointment.
He had just walked a few steps towards the wing room when he suddenly stopped and turned around to look.
Behind him is a flat land paved with bluestones, with several pines and cypresses planted, the night is as cool as water, and a biting cold wind blows.
"Come out." Li Changtian frowned and scolded.
He knows someone is following him.
As soon as Li Changtian finished speaking, a black shadow appeared from behind the pine and cypress tree, and a dark dart suddenly flew towards Li Changtian!
Li Changtian hurriedly turned sideways. He was seriously avoiding the hidden weapon when he suddenly heard the man yelling in a voice that changed his voice deliberately: "Linyuan Pavilion, go straight to the right side of the attic for ten meters."
As soon as the words fell, the man in black flitted across the branches and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The incident happened suddenly and very strangely, Li Changtian froze in place.
Li Changtian suddenly remembered that Yan Shu had mentioned to him before that there was a spy in Baidi City who called him Shadow.
Could it be that the person just now was a shadow
Of course, it is very likely that someone is cheating.
No matter what it is, Li Changtian intends to visit the place that person just mentioned.
"However, where is Linyuan Pavilion..." Li Changtian rubbed his head in confusion and muttered.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the wing room first and look for it next time.
When Li Changtian returned to his house, he found that there were two more guards guarding the doors and windows. Seeing Li Changtian approaching, the guards all paid attention, but they did not speak and did not stop him.
Li Changtian opened the door and walked into the wing room. When he raised his eyes, he saw Yan Shu sitting on the bed and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
He turned around and bolted the door, walked to the bed, and saw Yan Shu opened his eyes, looking at him probingly.
Li Changtian hurriedly said: "It's me, it's me, it's really me."
Yan Shu frowned.
Li Changtian sat on the side of the bed, bent one leg, and said, "I won't lift my clothes anymore. Listen to me, you are afraid of noise when you sleep, right? You like sweet things, right? You hate drink, right?"
Yan Shu: "...um."
Li Changtian grinned triumphantly.
He suddenly remembered something, and reached out his hand to touch Yan Shu's forehead very naturally: "Do you still have a fever?"
Yan Shu was startled.
"What's the matter? Talk, does your head still hurt? Does your body feel cold?" Li Changtian touched Yan Shu's forehead, and then touched his own. He felt that Yan Shu's forehead was still hot, but he didn't know why. It's not an illusion caused by the fact that I just came back from the outside and my hands are too cold.
"I..." Yan Shu was about to answer, but suddenly froze in place.
Li Changtian suddenly stretched out his hands, held his cheeks, and pressed his forehead against his.
Yan Shu stopped breathing for an instant.
He stared wide-eyed, staring blankly at Li Changtian who was close at hand, because he was too close, he couldn't see Li Changtian's whole picture clearly, he could only see the pair of black pupils that were as bright as stars.
Probably because Li Changtian had just returned to the house, his forehead and hands were icy cold from the wind, penetrating inch by inch into Yan Shu's skin and burrowing into his heart.
Yan Shu felt that he should still have a fever, and his dry and pale lips felt strangely hot, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it lightly.
Li Changtian felt Yanshu's temperature with his forehead for a while, then he let go and muttered, "It doesn't seem to be hot anymore."
"What is this for?" Yan Shu also backed away, her voice a little hoarse.
"Take your temperature. If it's just a low-grade fever, it's not very accurate to touch it with your hands. It's better to feel if you still have a fever on your forehead. Don't you all use this method?" Li Changtian pointed to his forehead and said seriously.
Yan Shu didn't know why he was more silent than usual. He looked at Li Changtian with lingering eyes, tracing Li Changtian's handsome eyebrows and eyes, and then said, "Is it hot?"
"What?"
"Forehead."
"It doesn't seem to be hot anymore." Li Changtian said, "Does your head still hurt?"
"It hurts." Yan Shu said.
"What?! Does it still hurt?" Li Changtian just finished speaking, when Yan Shu suddenly leaned over to get closer.
He covered the back of Li Changtian's neck with his right hand, and pressed Li Changtian to himself. The distance between the two suddenly narrowed, so close that Li Changtian could feel Yan Shu's trembling breathing like a summer cicada flapping its wings.
For a moment, Li Changtian felt that Yan Shu wanted to kiss him.
But immediately, Yan Shu's forehead moved forward and touched Li Changtian's forehead.
Li Changtian: "..."
Damn it, why did he have the illusion that Yan Shu wanted to kiss him just now.
It's too weird!
"Is it hot?" Yan Shu's question brought back Li Changtian's wandering thoughts.
"It seems... It seems that there is still a little." Li Changtian stammered.
"En." Yan Shu backed away, his eyes were light, and he responded.
Li Changtian covered his lips with one hand and dodged his eyes, trying to hide the embarrassment of having a strange thought just now, he hurriedly got off the bed and said, "Then I'll get you another bowl of medicine to drink."
Li Changtian walked quickly to the table, took out the yellow wood medicine box that Li Qiushui left last time, took out the antipyretic powder inside, and poured it into a bowl filled with clean water.
Li Changtian stared at the white powder floating on the clear water, watched the powder gradually dissolve in the water, then puffed out his cheeks and let out a sharp breath, as if wanting to express the embarrassment and panic in his heart.
I've been really weird lately.
Last time, for no reason, I thought Yan Shu was good-looking, a different kind of good-looking.
But this is not outrageous, after all, it is a fact that Yan Shu looks good.
But just now he actually felt that Yan Shu wanted to kiss him!
This horse riding is really riding a horse is too ridiculous!
As a staunch materialist, is it possible that he should start thinking about the probability and possibility of being possessed by a ghost
Li Changtian shook his head, throwing the strange thought out of his mind, and then gave Yan Shu the water in which the medicine was dissolved.
After thanking Yan Shu, he took it, held the bowl in one hand, and slowly raised his head to drink the medicine.
Li Changtian stood on the side of the bed watching Yan Shu, saw the edge of the medicine bowl pressed against Yan Shu's lips, and he swallowed all the medicine in the bowl.
Suddenly, Li Changtian remembered that day.
The day he fed Yan Shu the medicine, after the feeding, he was caught off guard by Yan Shu's kiss...
Because he was so shocked at the time, Li Changtian couldn't remember exactly what it was like at that time.
But Li Changtian remembered that Yan Shu's movements were very gentle, the tip of his tongue was warm, wrapping around his tongue and gliding across his palate...
"grass… "
Li Changtian cursed.
What does he want this for! ! !
Upon hearing this, Yan Shu drank the medicine in the bowl and looked up at Li Changtian: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Li Changtian responded repeatedly. He snatched the empty bowl from Yan Shu's hand with an unnatural expression, put it on the table, and quickly blew out the candles on the table, and then urged him in the dark. : "It's getting late, you're still sick, why don't you go to bed?"
"good."
