As the relieved smile on Bai Sunizhi's face solidified, the Hengdao he held in his hand now only had a handle. His rickety body became thinner and weaker, and his trembling legs slowed down. He slowly knelt on the ground, with a trace of relief on his old wrinkled cheeks. His cloudy eyes used up the last bit of strength to look at Bai Chun who was looking into the rain in front of him.
"Since you were born, I have been thinking about how to use you to exchange for peace and benefits for Qiuci, and in exchange for the protection of a powerful country for us. I sent you to Datang to study, hoping that one day I could marry you. Tubo is like the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty marrying a princess... You are very beautiful, you like the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and your father will help you." Bai Sunizhi knelt down weakly in the rain, holding his hands like dry branches and shaking. His body and sparse gray hair looked miserable and pitiful at the moment.
"I have warned you, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also warned you. The Tang Dynasty is too powerful. It is impossible to restore the country to Kucha. Even King Pei, you have seen his fate. I will never be in this world again. There is no need to worry anymore, I will bury you with my mother, she should love you very much." Bai Chun glanced at the motionless Bai Sunizhi, turned around lonely, and no longer looked at the twilight hero. .
When he was a child, he was the god in his heart, the invincible king in his heart. He sent himself to the Tang Dynasty to study, and used himself to seek the interests of the country for Qiuci. He was just an object, waiting to be traded.
However, all this changed because of a little boy. If he hadn't appeared, what would have been his fate? Can Qiuci really survive
That little boy has now become the god in his heart, the invincible king, everything to him, and at the same time he has given him everything except the child that the woman wanted.
The blanket on her body had already been soaked by the rain, and her rickety figure had been taken away and resettled. Bai Chun was like a ghost, slowly wandering in the alley in the rain. She couldn't understand more. Did the prince give herself a way to survive? , or a dead end.
But no matter what, I had already followed him and embarked on a path of no return.
Unconsciously walking to the entrance of the alley, an umbrella appeared above her head at the right time. Bai Chun's eyes were blank and dim, and she subconsciously looked over slowly, only to see Li Hong holding an umbrella and looking at her with a smile.
Bai Chun stayed quietly under the umbrella, looking at the little boy who was looking at her tenderly. She loosened the already wet blanket on her body, hugged forward with her hands, put her cold cheek on the little boy's warm chest, and condensed. Listening to the powerful heartbeat, does it... have its own place
King Cao Li Ming only saw two people clinging to each other under the oil-paper umbrella, and then slowly walked towards the entrance of the square. He felt like Princess Honghua, they had completely lost this battle.
"Let me tell you a story." Li Hong put his arms around Bai Chun's somewhat cold waist and said lightly.
"It was a very large empire, but that empire was faced with a conflict between the emperor and the empress. After the emperor noticed that the empress was becoming more and more ambitious, he ordered one of his ministers to draft an edict, intending to depose the empress... Then, the queen's informants in the palace learned of the news, and immediately went to plead with the emperor, hoping that he would not depose her as queen. When the emperor was in a dilemma, he gave up. "
"The queen is said to be a vicious person. Because she did not dare to offend the emperor, she hated the minister who drafted the edict for the emperor. So the minister and his son were framed by the queen and executed for treason. Although the two people died. , but what about their families? "
"So he was brought into the palace as a slave. The minister who drafted the edict had a granddaughter at the time, who was only three or four years old at the time, so he and her mother were taken into the palace as slaves. Her mother was a well-educated and sensible person. She has been carefully cultivating her, and she has become another strange woman in the palace. She is good at singing, dancing, writing poems, and even has insightful and unique insights into court affairs. Therefore, at the age of thirteen or fourteen At that time, she was removed from her status as a slave and was granted the title of a talented person of the fifth rank. Later, she became a famous official in this country, with power in both the government and the public, covering the sky with one hand... "
"The final outcome for such a woman will not be good. No matter how powerful she is in the court, it will never be as good as having someone who truly loves her and cares for her. I think this woman's future ending will also be very miserable, right?" Bai Chun sat in the carriage, first poured a cup of hot tea for Li Hong, and then poured a cup for himself. His eyes were slightly red, and he forced a smile.
"As the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss. However, her tragic ending cannot cover up her magnificent, wonderful and rich life. After all, she will leave her name in history and leave behind a lot of controversy." Li Hong said with emotion.
"My slave, I think it's not bad. It's just that such a woman is too smart. Not many men can control her. If I choose, I still like the way I am now." Bai Chun put down the cup and wiped the wet stains on his hair again. .
She always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's words seemed to mean something, as if this was not a story but a real thing!
His Highness the Crown Prince has demonstrated this ability to predict the future more than once. Could it be that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang can really predict the future? That push-back diagram has already been revealed by the prince
"It's up to you. I'm just telling a story. Come back to the East Palace with me, or go back to Prince Pu's Mansion by yourself?" Li Hong said, shaking his head as the carriage rocked.
"I want to go back to Prince Pu's Mansion for some quiet time."
"Sigh... Such a slave, it's a good thing that I only have one by my side. Anyway, you can go back to the East Palace in two days." Li Hong sighed and watched Bai Chun bend down and get out of the carriage.
As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he received a report of lawlessness. When he left the gate of Changmingfang, King Cao Li Ming and Princess Honghua left in a hurry at Hechangfang.
Li Hong waved his hand wordlessly, motioning for them to go down and let them guard Houpei Prince's Mansion for the next few days.
The four girls Xiaoxue, Xia Zhi, Banmei, and Xunlan had already greeted the prince at the entrance of Li Zheng Palace. The four girls had not seen each other for more than half a year, and they seemed to be more and more lively. Perhaps because they were already women, there was something about each of them. Or less, they all exuded a touch of charm.
In the past three days, Pei Wanying has been preparing medicine according to the prescription given by Sun Simiao since she came out of the East Palace. The medicine that can remove blood stasis and reduce swelling the fastest must be brought to the East Palace today to show to His Highness the Crown Prince.
It is said that the reason why the prince is so eager for this good medicine to remove blood stasis and reduce swelling is because His Majesty and the Queen changed their minds and did not plan to spend the New Year's Day in Luoyang but to return to Chang'an instead. Therefore, His Majesty the Prince sent people to him eight times a day. Run here.
Under the urging of Hua Meng and Yan Lingbin, Pei Wanying rolled her eyes angrily at Yan Lingbin, "When you prepare the medicine, you take your time and effort, but you are too lazy to help." Now that the prince is urging me, it would be better for you to be more anxious than anyone else.
The two women hurriedly got into the carriage. After Hua Meng and Cheetah gave instructions, they let the carriage speed up on the streets of Chang'an City. It is said that King Pei Li Xian's face showed no sign of swelling at all and he was still shouting every day. As long as my father and mother come back, I'll see what Lao Wu says.
As a result, His Royal Highness, who had originally planned to question Pei Wang Li Xian, suddenly panicked. He originally thought that he could deal with Li Xian as much as he wanted in Chang'an and tidy him up, but he didn't expect that the couple in Luoyang would be at this critical moment. I'm going back to Chang'an!
What are you afraid of? You are looking for trouble when you have nothing to do!
Going back and forth in the court, there was no news from the officials. No one knew why His Majesty and the Queen wanted to return to Chang'an on a whim.
In desperation, I had no choice but to give Pei Wanying, who was arrested by me that day in the East Palace and stayed until very late before letting her go back, a death order. Within three days, I must be given the best medicine to remove blood stasis and reduce swelling.
When Pei Wanying and Yan Lingbin rushed to the East Palace, they saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was already dressed neatly. The black robe that had not changed for a hundred years had been replaced by a moon-white round-neck robe for the first time today. His whole person immediately lost the cold, mighty and scornful look. His aura has become suave and majestic, giving him the appearance of an elegant Confucian scholar.
People can't help but have a feeling of wanting to get close to him. His sharp-edged face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and elegant, and handsome and gentle smile make him a person of Tang Dynasty style and elegant literati.
"Has the medicine been prepared?" Pei Wanying asked as she hurried over with her skirt in one hand.
"Fortunately, it has been prepared. However, the effect of the medicine may not be as fast as you expected. Removing blood stasis and reducing swelling is not..." Pei Wanying was a little uneasy. There is no way in this world like what he said, where she could heal within a day. It's a miracle medicine that completely reduces swelling and restores your health to the original state.
"Then don't worry about it for now. Try it in the past. If it doesn't work, try two more doses." Li Hong said nonchalantly.
"This is medicine. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous. You need to take it according to the amount. You can't increase the amount randomly. Master specially warned me." Pei Wanying was still a little scared when she heard it. He was not afraid of treating King Pei's face to death. , let’s see how he explains it then.
"It's medicine that makes up three parts of poison. Is this what the old man said? I told him this. Get in the car first. You stay here until we come back. As for dinner... Discuss it with Xiaoxue and the others. It should be delicious. , We must reward our great hero!" Li Hong said, but fortunately Pei Wanying was on guard and grabbed the medicine from Yan Lingbin's hand and ran towards the carriage.
Seeing Pei Wanying who had escaped from the reach of his arms and was running like an elf at the entrance of Li Zhengdian, Li Hong could only helplessly shake his head at Yan Lingbin, Xiaoxue and others: "I'm so spoiled, it will be better if I get past the door! Just like that witch Bai Chun, Hubu even begged her to change her household registration! "
