Three hours ago.
With Du Taiping's approval, Xun Shitian finally came up with an extremely vicious plan. A little childish, but very vicious.
He brought a secret message from the "Rakshasa Kingdom" to plot against Kyushu to the guest hall of the palace, in an attempt to secretly stuff this secret message into Li Zhen's package and murder him.
This childish strategy actually doesn't work. But now this situation works.
Because the emperor's attitude toward Li Zhen in the court today made everyone feel that the emperor did not want to see Li Zhen.
If the emperor appreciates Li Zhen, then the emperor can ignore all misunderstandings. But he didn't want to see her, and was even a little repulsive. From the urgent recruitment of Li Zhen to the court, to the emperor's immediate promise of rewards when the court dispersed, it can be seen that the emperor did not want to see Li Zhen again and wanted him to leave quickly, so he sent him away quickly.
And this attitude makes their plan very likely to succeed. Even if he fails to succeed, it will still make Li Zhen uncomfortable for a while. It doesn't matter, as long as Li Zhen is in the capital, there will always be countless means coming. This disgusting method of toads crawling on your feet is just the first step.
But when the Eighth Prince spent a long time and touched the guest hall, he found that the building was empty.
The Eighth Prince looked around anxiously. He searched the entire palace but could not find Li Zhen. This made him feel as if he had been punched in cotton. After finding Yuan Cheng, I learned that he had already left Beijing in the afternoon.
The Eighth Prince was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His bodyguards and Du Taiping's sister-in-law were beheaded by the vicious man in public. I can't swallow this breath, and I can't avenge this revenge at all. Still thinking that he would stay in Beijing for a few days and use the cruelest means to take revenge.
But Li Zhen left now. He was going to Dongzhou, which was thousands of miles away from Zhongzhou, as high as the sky and as far away as the emperor. What else can the Eighth Prince do
"ah!"
"I don't accept it!"
Late at night, deep in the palace, there were waves of unwilling roars.
—-
On the way, the carriage was driving all night, and Li Zhen didn't know where he went.
Only when he talked at night and listened to Xu Shenxue openly talking to him about the complicated relationships and situations in the palace, did he know how important it was to leave the capital early.
"The emperor finally asked you what reward you want. The implication is: if there is nothing else, you can leave the capital as soon as possible after receiving the reward. So Li Zhen, you have to be aware of current affairs. The emperor just doesn't want to see you now, but don't let him He will become disgusted with you. And the Eighth Prince will have endless means to make him never want to see you and become disgusted with you. At that time, you will be in trouble."
Li Zhen nodded profoundly: "Thank you, Principal Xu, for your advice."
"From today on, you are my student. It is the teacher's responsibility to protect you."
Li Zhen stood up in the carriage and bowed deeply to Xu Shenxue: "Student meets teacher."
Xu Shenxue received the gift and said with a smile: "You must not have any aggrieved thoughts. I said something treasonous..."
Xu Shenxue looked around and lowered his voice: "A man in his seventies, how long can he live? It can be seen that he is short of breath when talking now, and his energy is almost exhausted. What do you have to worry about? Yes? Just stay well in Dongzhou during this period, do your things, and stop paying attention to the court. When the crown prince of the East Palace comes to power, it will be the time for you to flourish."
Li Zhen's heart was beating wildly, and his back was feeling cold. These words... are indeed treasonous enough.
However, his heart was filled with emotion. Xu Shenxue even dared to say this to himself. This was truly introducing him to the door. He truly regards himself as his disciple, trusts himself and values himself.
Xu Shenxue continued: "I know without guessing that the relationship between you and the prince should be relatively close."
Li Zhen hesitated for a while, then said with a wry smile: "When he left Jinzhou County, he introduced me as a princeling."
"That's it, what else do you have to worry about? When Xun Shifei took office, it was the time when you were soaring all over the world. What you have to do now is to stay in Dongzhou and lay a good foundation. I won't let you in school It's a waste of six years. I will seek an official position for you, and you can pave the way for your future from now on. My vision is never wrong, and your future will be very broad. The stronger the foundation you lay now, the better you will be in the future. The smoother the journey will be. Maybe you don't want to be an official, but you need strength. Only when you have a bigger backer can you develop a more brilliant path in science."
Li Zhen smiled and nodded: "I understand. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I don't exclude being an official."
"That's good. Go to bed early."
"Yes, Principal."
"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long to return to Eight Dragon City. Taking advantage of this period of time to calm down can also be used to quell the negative rumors that people have about you. I have to say that the Eighth Prince's move is vicious."
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and suddenly asked: "Teacher, do you think it is possible for the Eighth Prince to become the Crown Prince?"
Xu Shenxue was silent for a while and said: "No. There are too many partisan disputes here. What's more, the eighth prince does not have any resource advantages to attract the officials of the dynasty to lean towards him. And now 80% of the people in the dynasty are princes. Party. Unless the emperor dares to risk the disobedience of the world and strongly support the eighth prince. Unless the prince dies."
Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
He fell asleep quietly in the carriage.
That night, I dreamed of Zhang Zhi...
When I woke up, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Li Zhen looked at the bright sky outside the still bumpy carriage, and burst into tears.
He suddenly forgot what the content of his dream was.
He suddenly forgot the content of his previous dream.
He only remembered that he dreamed of Zhang Zhi that night, but he forgot the content of the dream and what they said.
"How could I forget?"
"I can't forget."
Li Zhen frowned and slapped his head hard in distress, but he couldn't remember what the content of the dream was.
"Where are you?"
"Already out of Zhongzhou!"
Outside the carriage, Qi Lengzi, who was riding a horse, replied.
Have you left Zhongzhou
Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he felt eager to return to Balong City.
He vaguely seemed to remember someone saying in his dream... The day we meet again in Baqiao is the time to meet again.
He vaguely felt that he would be able to see her when he returned to Balong City.
——
When I woke up, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Zhang Zhi woke up from the hospital bed with his head wrapped in gauze, with tears in his eyes, and murmured: "I dreamed of him. But... I can't remember the content of the dream. Is this our last dream? But... Why can’t you remember what happened in your dream?”
"But why do I know that I have to wait for him in Baqiao?"
"Why do I think that when he comes, I can see him."
"I want to wait for him."
“…”
Ten thousand years ago.
Liuting Road, Baqiaotou.
"How much is the annual rent here?"
"The price has increased recently, it's 12,000 yuan for a single room."
"Thanks."
"Won't."
“…”
After renting an apartment far away, she felt that she would have to wait for him here for a long time.
During the day she went to school, and at night she sat in a nearby square and waited. Every night I sit with my chin in my hands and look at the moon in the sky. I have to sit there and wait for a long time every day.
A month later, she gradually forgot what she was waiting for.
"What am I waiting for?"
At night 32 days later, she suddenly lowered her head and asked herself.
It seems that I have forgotten a very important thing, I seem to have forgotten a great thing.
She forgot why she lived here, why she had to come here and wait every day. I forgot what I was waiting for. I also forgot that I had a very strange dream.
She looked at the tattoo on her arm, which was done in a tattoo shop last month, and murmured: "Why did I tattoo the word 'Li Zhen' on my arm? What am I afraid of forgetting? What did I forget? Li Zhen" What is it really? Why do I feel that these two words look so familiar, and why do I feel that these two words make me sad... "
"What did I miss during this time, what was I waiting for, and what did I forget?"
Zhang Zhi raised his head and looked at the moon in the dark night, ignoring the people coming and going in the square. It seems that I always hallucinate that I will come to an extremely silent dark space. There is only one moon in that space, and there is a person who I can’t remember what he looks like.
She often forgets why she likes to look at the moon at night so much.
Forgot what to wait for.
"But I will always wait here..."
It seems that he is waiting for someone very important. I don’t know when he will come, I don’t know if he will come, I don’t know what he looks like, I don’t know who he is.
All I know is that he is a very important person. A person who leaves a tear in his heart.
"If heaven had not given birth to my king, eternity would be like a long night."
