It’s okay if he didn’t say this, but Li Huaiyu got excited when he said that, and pointed to the tip of his nose at him: “Other people dare to kill the king, let alone me? In the eyes of the world, I am a heinous crime. Princess Danyang who can do anything! Cutting you is like cutting vegetables!"
Li Huailin lowered his eyes, as if he thought about it for a while, and then asked: "Does the emperor want the throne?"
Li Huaiyu sneered: "You think I'm rare?"
"The decree left by Emperor Xiao, I have not destroyed it, and it is still hidden in Mingshan Palace." Li Huailin said, "If the imperial sister is willing to do me a favor, I am willing to take the Zen seat."
The emperor, who would do anything to be in charge of the government, now says that he is willing to take the Zen throne? Huaiyu thought it was ridiculous, she squeezed her fist and looked at him for a while, then said with a sneer, "Tell me what you are doing first."
"Find Ning Wanwei for me." Li Huailin lowered his eyes, "She abandoned me at a critical moment. I want to find her and ask her what she thinks."
Concubine Ning abandoned him? Huaiyu was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes: "If you don't learn my frankness, how can you learn Ziyang Jun's deviousness? If you are worried about others, say you are worried about them; if you want to be reunited with them, say you want to be reunited with them. What's the meaning?"
The cheekbones tightened, and Li Huailin said forcefully, "I'm not worried about her, I just want to find her."
"Then forgive me for not being able to help." Let go of him, Huaiyu patted the ashes on his hands, "It doesn't matter to me whether you take the Zen seat or not, and it doesn't matter to me who will sit on the throne at the end. If you want to find someone, you can do it yourself." try to find."
Li Huailin's face darkened, and he looked at Jiang Xuanjin. The latter didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Huang Jie's words, so he whispered to her: "But tired? Qingsi has prepared breakfast, you go to use some .”
"how about you?"
"I still have something to say to him."
Frowning at him, then at Li Huailin, Huaiyu scratched his head: "If you want to beat him up, just call me, you are not suitable to fight with him, I am more convenient."
With a slight smile in his eyes, Jiang Xuanjin nodded and watched her go out.
The door closed, and the hall became darker. Li Huailin couldn't hide his hostility anymore. He frowned and looked at the man in front of him and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Sitting down on the chair, stroking the robe, Jiang Xuanjin said slowly: "Your imperial sister cares about you very much. Before she finds out that you have murderous intentions towards her, in her heart, you are more important than me. So I want to know, At this point, does she want to kill you for revenge?"
The answer was no, he deliberately put the dagger on the table next to him, Li Huaiyu didn't even look at it, shouted loudly, scolded loudly, but didn't think to kill him directly. There were only the three of them in the hall just now, and no one knew that the emperor had arrived in the first-tier city. Even if Li Huailin died here, no one would know who killed him.
However, she was still reluctant to make a move.
Jaw tightened slightly, Jiang Xuanjin was slightly displeased: "You ordered me to deliver poisoned wine to her, she doesn't hold grudges against you, but she hates you so much that she wants to kill me."
Why
Li Huailin pursed his lips, turned away and said, "She doesn't want to kill me, you do."
Jiang Xuanjin hated him. For some reason, he hated him more deeply than Sister Huang. He could feel it all the way. He went to hell.
"Does Your Majesty know why?" He didn't deny it, just asked him.
Li Huailin sneered: "What else can you do to kill the king? Now you are the only one in Ziyang, and if you kill me, you can directly aspire to the throne."
Shaking his head indifferently, Jiang Xuanjin said: "I was born to be taught to be loyal to the emperor, listen to the words of benevolence and righteousness, and have no greed for the throne. What I am doing now is just to avenge my own personal revenge."
"personal enmity?"
Looking up at him, Jiang Xuanjin's eyes were icy cold: "Your Majesty gave the eldest princess the death of an imperial decree, which made the humble minister suffer the responsibility of the wronged person, and made the eldest princess heartbroken. Shouldn't there be some price?"
"..." Looking back at him in disbelief, Li Huailin's pupils shrank slightly, "You left the capital suddenly and joined forces to rebel, and that's why?"
"Is this reason not enough?" Jiang Xuanjin stood up slowly holding the armrest, "Your Majesty, do you know why the eldest princess killed Li Shan?"
There are rumors in the world that the eldest princess killed innocent people in order to seize power, and Li Huailin never thought of asking her why, but now that he heard him mention it, he asked belatedly: "You know?"
"I didn't know it at the beginning, but after she was imprisoned, I heard Qingsi mention some old things. I sent someone to investigate. I didn't expect to find something."
Walking in front of him, Jiang Xuanjin looked down at him: "Pingling King Li Shan once broke into the former empress' palace and used despicable means to insult the mother of a country. The former empress died on the day you were born. It was not a dystocia, but suicide in shame and indignation."
Li Huailin was shocked, and shook his head almost without thinking: "You are lying!"
Li Shan clearly said that his mother loved him, but was taken over by the first emperor, so he had no choice but to communicate with him secretly.
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask someone." Jiang Xuanjin said blankly, "At the beginning, he dismissed more than a hundred people from the empress's palace, and most of them died by accident, but there are still some people who know the truth and live on. Outside the suburbs of Beijing."
"No." Li Huailin said stubbornly, "I don't believe it."
Not caring whether he believed it or not, Jiang Xuanjin continued: "To do such unconscionable and unethical things, the late emperor trapped Li Shan in Pingling and refused to let him enter Beijing again. This is considered to be caring for his brother and kindhearted. But Mr. Pingling It seems that without gratitude, taking advantage of the death of the late emperor, His Majesty and the Eldest Princess were young and helpless, and went to Beijing again in an attempt to take power."
"Your Majesty thinks Lord Pingling is a good man who has helped you a lot, but do you know what he is doing where you can't see him?"
"Using the emperor to order the princes, amassing money and seizing power, and even harboring ill intentions towards the eldest princess."
With gloomy eyes, Jiang Xuanjin said: "The eldest princess is being gentle, such a person who messes up human relations and loses humanity, Ling Chi is not too much."
His face became paler and paler, Li Huailin took two steps back, and murmured in a low voice: "You lied to me, Mr. Pingling is an upright person, he won't do these things..."
"This minister just told His Majesty the reason why the eldest princess killed Lord Pingling." Jiang Xuanjin said, "I want you to know that you have never been on the side of justice, and all you have done are evil things. Good people, except those who are loyal to the country. It is all your own fault for falling into the current state, and it has nothing to do with others!"
The words were like a hammer, and they hit his heart hard. Li Huailin was shocked, and his feet staggered, and he almost lost his footing.
"Li Huaiyu is also at fault." Jiang Xuanjin eased his tone, shaking his head and said, "She shouldn't protect you so well, she shouldn't make you think that she is a bad person, you are a good person, you are much worse than her, and you don't deserve it at all. She shelters."
"You...you shut up!"
"Do whatever you want, and still be afraid of people's words?" Jiang Xuanjin sneered, "When Your Majesty hurt her heart with a humble minister, did you ever think how uncomfortable it would be for her?"
Li Huailin's eyelashes trembled, and the hand holding his sleeve turned white.
"What I should pay back is already being paid, Your Majesty can't stay out of it." Gently brushing the ashes on his shoulders. Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips, "When you and I were hurt together, she ran to you first. If you can't suffer the same suffering as her, how can I be reconciled?"
"… what you up to?"
"Didn't Your Majesty want to see Concubine Ning?" Jiang Xuanjin said, "From Feng Yi to the first-tier city, she has been with us all the way."
The flustered heart suddenly calmed down when he heard the words "Ning Guifei", Li Huailin's eyes brightened. Ask: "Will you let me see her?"
"It took so much effort to let His Majesty see her at this time." Jiang Xuanjin turned sideways, "Please."
Overjoyed at first, then a little angry, Li Huailin lifted his robe and walked out the door, thinking slightly angrily, since she was here all the way, why didn't she come to see him? Even if he is locked up, can someone send a message to him? Did you avoid him on purpose
In front of the enemy, she was able to leave him and run away alone. What else do you say you love him so much? Even if he wasn't angry at the time and still thought she was smart, but thinking about it afterwards, he would definitely be angry. In her heart, he doesn't mean much at all!
Following Jiang Xuanjin out to get into the car, Li Huailin asked in a bad tone: "Shut her up far away?"
Jiang Xuanjin nodded.
"You hate me so much, did you prepare some trap for me to jump into?" Li Huailin frowned and looked at him, "I can discuss with you, as long as you let me and her leave safely, I will give you whatever you want."
Jiang Xuanjin remained silent, looking at the wall of the car silently.
Li Huailin didn't start, and he didn't want to say too much. When the carriage stopped, he quickly jumped off the shaft.
"Slow down, Your Majesty." The servant whispered.
No matter what he said, Li Huailin looked at the yard in front of him, and stepped in.
The yard is much colder than the outside, just as I walked around the painted wall. Some paper money was sprinkled down from his pocket, and it fell all over his body one after another.
"Bold!" Li Huailin shouted angrily as he brushed away the bad luck, "How dare you spill such filth on me!"
The snow-white paper money fell, revealing a glazed coffin in the center of the courtyard. There were a lot of ice cubes in the coffin, and a figure could be seen vaguely. The person kneeling next to him cried with red eyes, raised his head to look at him, and continued to sprinkle a handful of paper money.
"Hangu?" It was clear that this person was the maid next to Ning Wanwei. Li Huailin was startled, a thought flashed across his mind, and was shattered violently by himself.
Impossible, how could Ning Wanwei die? She has no reason to die!
Turning his head and looking around the yard, he asked, "Where's your master?"
Hangu didn't answer, her hand holding the paper money trembled.
Inexplicably annoyed, Li Huailin strode over and grabbed her: "I'm asking you, can't you listen..."
Before he finished yelling, he touched the glazed coffin next to him from the corner of his eye, and choked all his breath in his throat. Li Huailin was stunned, let go of Han Gu, and stood stiffly for a while. Reaching out his hand, he slowly wiped away the ashes on the coffin lid one by one.
The tranquil face gradually became clear, with willow eyebrows like the moon, and thin lips like red, Ning Wanwei lay quietly in it, as if she was having a sweet dream, with a touch of rouge on her cheeks.
Chest tightness, Li Huailin snorted, thinking that he might be dreaming, how could he dream of Ning Wanwei lying in the coffin? This person should be lying on her imperial concubine's couch.
Reaching out to grab the eaves of the coffin lid, Li Huailin violently tried to rescue her.
"People have been dead for a long time, and the smell is very strong. Your Majesty, it is better not to open it." Jiang Xuanjin stood behind and took three sticks of incense. Inserted in the incense burner in front of the coffin.
Li Huailin turned his head abruptly, his eyes bloodshot: "It's you?"
Jiang Xuanjin looked at him indifferently.
"You hate me, just come to me, why do you want to attack her?!" Li Huailin shouted angrily, kicked away the brazier burning with paper money, and rushed towards Jiang Xuanjin.
The furious fist didn't hit the head at all. Jiang Xuanjin easily dodged it without explaining a word, and only asked him: "Don't you miss her? Haven't you been left out for a long time? What's the rush now?"
"You bastard!" Li Huailin rushed forward again after punching nothing, and shouted like crazy, "I want you to pay for her life!"
"Pay for life?" With a chuckle, turning his head to avoid his palm, Jiang Xuanjin said, "If you want to pay, you must pay first."
His hands trembled uncontrollably, Li Huailin missed a few hits, and his face was almost distorted. He glanced back at the person in the coffin. It was as if a needle was stabbing sharply in his head, causing him to growl in pain, and put his head in his hands.
"Being able to get His Majesty to look at you differently because of the eldest princess is the blessing of the concubine, and the concubine has no grudges."
"Your Majesty can't sleep? The concubine can play two ditties."
"The concubine's glory is given by His Majesty, and if His Majesty wants to take it back, the concubine has no complaints."
…
The skirt of the palace dress flew up, and then slowly returned to calm, turning into black and white. Li Huailin clutched the dragon robe on his chest tightly, gasping for breath, but it seemed as if he couldn't breathe air, the pain was so painful that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
He hadn't had time to say it, he hadn't had time to tell her that he didn't dote on her because of the emperor, and he just wanted her to care about him when he got angry with her, and he just wanted her to beg him when he threw her to the cold palace. . Feng Yi sent her to another hospital because he was afraid that she would be murdered because of him... He was not really angry with her. He liked her, as she liked himself.
He has a bad temper and is easily irritable. Only she can comfort him. He can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, and only by hugging her can he feel at ease. He... can't live without her.
Standing up, Li Huailin staggered two steps back to the coffin. He stubbornly lifted the glazed coffin lid.
Even if it had been refrigerated, the body decomposed quickly in the June weather. When the coffin lid was opened, the stench immediately forced everyone to retreat. Li Huailin, as if he didn't smell it at all, took Ning Wanwei's hand and hugged her stubbornly.
A deep scar ran across the entire neck. Li Huailin's hands shook, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Your Majesty committed suicide." Han Gu said behind him, "Your Majesty, please give Your Majesty a clean life and let her go."
Suicide? Li Huailin turned his head and looked at her in disbelief.
Han Nu's eyes were red, and her tone was very calm: "On the day Liu Yunlie attacked the city, she brought people to the other courtyard to arrest the empress, and the empress knew that they were going to bring herself to threaten His Majesty, and she couldn't escape, so in order to avoid His Majesty's dilemma, she committed suicide to thank you for your kindness." .”
The bright red blood was sprinkled on the bluestone floor of the other courtyard, shocking everyone. Since ancient times, concubines and concubines are so weak that they are willing to die for the king, and it is rare to meet one of them. Li Huailin, He De and He Neng, unexpectedly met Concubine Ning Gui.
"Before your Majesty dies, I have something to leave for Your Majesty." Han Gu tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't help but complain, "she said. If His Majesty is a king in the next life, she will still be a concubine; As a wife, as long as you don't have a face similar to others in the next life, and you can get your attention, that's enough!"
