Chang Anqing

Chapter 139
While the lights were flickering, Li Sui noticed a slight change in Zhao Yi's expression in front of him. Although he was looking at her at the moment, the deep and distant eyes in his eyes seemed to see another person through her.Li Sui was puzzled, and then called softly.

"King Yuling—"

The girl's soft voice was like a mountain stream dripping on the back of his hand, making Zhao Yiyuan put it on the table, the hand holding the teacup moved lightly imperceptibly, when he touched the clear eyes in front of him, he had a bit of searching eyes, without showing any emotion Instead, he pinched the warm cup in his hand, took a sip of tea leisurely, and uttered a word lightly.

"it is good."

When Li Sui heard these two words in front of him, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"King Yuling is indeed straightforward."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi was surprised to find that Li Sui had pulled out a short blade exquisitely embellished with azurite tassels from his sleeve. Although he was smiling, he looked at him very seriously at the moment and said: " Then today, I invite King Yuling and I to make a blood alliance here and walk the road together."

Hearing the girl's sonorous words, Zhao Yi couldn't help but frown slightly, but when he saw Li Sui's abyss-like eyes, he knew that she was a person who kept her word.

"Okay, but you and I have made an agreement, but your father, Ling Ci, and Mrs. Taiwei—"

"Prince Yuling, please rest assured."

Before Zhao Yi could finish his words, Li Sui smiled lightly, and said kindly: "I am aware of the orders of my parents and the words of matchmakers. After tonight, Aye, Aniang, and Auntie , I have my own way."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui had already picked up a sapphire bowl from the short table in front of him and placed it in front of him. The next moment, a cold light flashed, and the sharp blade unsheathed and let out a cold dragon chant. Under the light and shadow, Zhao Yi quietly looked at the The girl almost didn't blink, she turned her palms over and held the blade tightly, as if the paper as thin as a cicada's wing was cut, under the soft voice, the bright red blood like wintersweet dripped along the edge of the knife and the lines on the palm of her hand. In the sapphire bowl filled with clear water, there was a crisp "tick -" sound.

"I, Li Sui, made an oath with Dongxue tonight. I am willing to form a marriage alliance with Zhao Yi. The husband and wife will go forward together, go together and return together. If you break this oath, everyone will betray their relatives and leave, and there will be no good end."

As the sharp blade was sheathed, Li Sui's eyes were like stars, and he calmly pushed the jade bowl in front of Zhao Yi. At the same time, the short blade was also placed aside.Facing Li Sui's waiting gaze, Zhao Yi also picked up the knife and drew the blade neatly. His eyes were as firm as a rock, and his movements flowed like flowing water. The next moment, he heard the sound of water falling into a rock, and in an instant, blood was burning like flames. It fell into the bloody water in the bowl.

"I, Zhao Yi, made an oath with Dongxue tonight, and I am willing to form a marriage alliance with Li Sui. The husband and wife will go forward together, go together and return together. If you break this oath, everyone will betray their relatives and leave, and there will be no good end."

Hearing the sonorous and forceful oath of the person in front of her, Li Sui felt that the layers of worries accumulated in her heart seemed to be like dust being dusted off at last, and she couldn't help trembling in her heart.

Li Sui knew that every word of the two of them tonight was worth as much as a thousand pieces of gold, and every word would tie her and him tightly together, sharing weal and woe, and even living and dying together.

"your hands."

Zhao Yi stared at the blood on the palm of Li Sui's left hand, and then pulled out a dark blue cloth handkerchief from his sleeve. Li Sui looked at it. The handkerchief was simple and plain, not as precious and luxurious as she used, but the precious look on the handkerchief corner The sea of ​​clouds has a dragon pattern, but it is like its owner, low-key but implies the ambition and ambition to overturn the tide.

Seeing Li Sui's gaze, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that this handkerchief was for his personal use, and giving it to her was afraid of damaging her reputation.

Just as he was about to pull it back in silence, he felt the handkerchief in his palm slip out suddenly. Li Sui in front of him smiled quietly, and instead of wrapping the handkerchief around the wound, he raised it in his hand and said lightly: "This handkerchief It will be the testimony of your covenant."

Having said that, Li Sui put the handkerchief into his sleeve, took out his silk handkerchief and gently wrapped it around the package.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Yi heard a very soft and low voice lingering between the two of them, falling firmly in his ears.

"Princess Pengcheng has an affair with Xieli Khan Ashina Hecheng."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Zhao Yi's deep eyes paused suddenly, and Li Sui had already put away his smile, and said to him calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, Princess Pengcheng pretended to persuade the Great Turkic Khan A Duo Hou formed an alliance with the Shangguan family, but in fact, he has secretly separated from the Shangguan family, intending to manipulate the Turks to fight among themselves, support Ashina He to become the leader, and then eradicate the Shangguan family, the Yang family, and my Li family—"

The girl's words were so simple that there was no wavering, Zhao Yi just felt as if what she was talking to him at the moment was not about his own life, and he could look at him so calmly, and said with a smile: "This is what I gave you. The first gift of the alliance."

Looking at the determination in the girl's eyes, Zhao Yi could read the deep meaning of her words with just one glance.

She wanted him to find out about Princess Pengcheng and Jieli Khan in the Western Regions, and take this matter as a key move. When Princess Pengcheng and Shangguan launched a rebellion in the future, she could make a reversal. Eradicating the enemies who made the Li family look like a thorn in one fell swoop will also help him to make great achievements in the world.

Looking at Li Sui in front of him, Zhao Yi's heart was greatly moved. The people in front of him are far-reaching, how can it be owned by an ordinary 16-year-old boudoir daughter.

It's a pity that such a woman was confined to Yang Yan's court and Yang Yan's suspicion in her previous life.

At this moment, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered the past life when he and Li Suiming fought secretly, but he never wanted to open his eyes again. They were actually standing on the same boat, forming an alliance, even husband and wife.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile, but in that flash of light, he suddenly felt that in the next life, everything seemed to have remained the same, but some things had really changed.

For example, she and him.

"Don't worry, princess, today's gift will be returned tomorrow."

Hearing Zhao Yi's solemn promise, Li Sui smiled slightly, held the teacup in front of him with both hands, and said to him slowly: "The king of Yuling promises a thousand gold, I believe it."

"Please."

After the two of them drank tea, Li Suishi called softly, only to hear the door being slowly pushed open, and Wanzhuang and Zong Ming, who were guarding outside the door, came in following the sound. When they saw the blood-stained silk handkerchief in Li Sui's hand , Wanzhuang's pupils were startled, but when she looked at the jade bowl filled with blood in front of the two of them, and saw Zhao Yi's same wound again, Wanzhuang lowered her eyes calmly, knelt down in front of Li Sui respectfully and said: "The servant will bandage you."

Just as she took out the snow-white gauze that Li Wei asked her to prepare in advance, and was about to explore the bottle of Ehuang ointment in her sleeve, she heard something was put on the case.

"This is a wound medicine made by Mr. Zhong Zhong of our army. It is mild in potency but fast in effect."

While speaking, Zhao Yi looked at Li Sui's wound, and then said to her: "A woman's skin is delicate. After using it for three days, the wound will heal and it will be as good as before."

"Thank you."

Under Li Sui's signal, Wan Zhuang withdrew her hand, lowered her eyebrows to take the wound medicine, and gently sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound. It was really icy and cool, like a breeze passing by, without the slightest pain. When Zhuang wrapped the gauze for her again, she heard Zhao Yi get up and said: "There is nothing else, I will go ahead, princess take care."

Under Li Sui's nod, Zhao Yi turned and took Zong Ming out of the cabin. When the cabin fell into silence, Li Sui looked at the snow that had not stopped outside the window, turned to Wan Zhuang and said, "After they land, , our ship will stop at Dongshi Ferry."

Hearing Li Sui's order, Wan Zhuang nodded knowingly, and retreated after bandaging.

When Li Sui returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was already nightfall. Under the service of Yu Nu and Nian Nu, Li Sui changed into pajamas and thin skirts, and lay on the warm jade pillow on the bed. Zhongji turned to Niannu and said: "I heard that the sage intends to select a noble daughter from the royal family and issue a marriage decree for Zhao Yi, so you let Li Wei spread the word tonight, and tomorrow I will hear the news all over Chang'an. "

Hearing Li Sui's words, Nian Nu was slightly surprised, and then retreated in response. When the candles were extinguished and the house was completely plunged into darkness, Li Sui looked out of the window through the bed curtain, watching the lights outside the house reflecting the window paper falling into the room. In the room, the eyes became more and more peaceful.

In the previous life, Emperor Yuan Cheng did have this plan, and even the Shangguan family had the idea of ​​betrotting his granddaughter to Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi was well aware of the situation, and he was unmoved in the slightest, dispelling this plan of the monarch and his ministers.

Although Emperor Yuancheng and Shangguan have not been revealed yet, she did not hesitate to reveal them in advance, just to use this to promote her marriage with Zhao Yi and completely cut off their thoughts.

Thinking of this, Li Sui couldn't help but smile, she suddenly felt that the famous Yuling King was now very much like a sweet pastry in the eyes of the major forces in Chang'an, but this "sweet pastry" was preempted by her.

I'm afraid that when the marriage is brought up, not to mention the emperor and Shangguan's family, even Yang Chongyuan will be shocked.

After all, this messed up his chess game again.
