Chang Anqing

Chapter 243
With the passage of time, Chang'an finally got rid of the continuous rain. On this day, a warm sun rose, and the golden light fell on the flowers and plants with dewdrops. Infused with the fragrance of earth.

Li Sui in the backyard of Yuqingguan had breakfast with Mrs. Chen, and the mother and daughter began to copy scriptures as usual.

After about a stick of incense, Li Sui stroked the back of his neck wearily, raised his head and took a cup of hot tea from Nian Nu, and saw Yu Nu standing there, vaguely hesitant to speak look like.

Li Sui didn't make a sound, just looked silently at Mrs. Chen who was still addicted to the scriptures, stood up just now, stepped forward to help Mrs. Chen and said, "Aniang, it's about the same time today, why don't you go back to the house and rest for a while. The weather is fine, let's go to the back mountain to relax later."

Hearing her daughter's reminder, Chen looked sideways at the bright spring outside the window, with rare ripples on her face, she nodded gently to Li Sui and said, "Okay."

After helping Mrs. Chen to get up, Li Sui and Huichun served Mrs. Chen into the dormitory to rest. After quietly retreating, Li Sui walked to the current platform with the company of Huichun, and listened to Huichun's words : "Tired for a day, the princess should go back and rest."

"I'm not sleepy right now."

Li Sui smiled and said, "I'll go out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while. Please stay with me, Aniang."

Seeing Huichun smiling and nodding, Li Suicai walked out with Niannu and Yunu familiar with the way, leaving only Jiamo and Qingzhi still guarding in the courtyard.

The plain dress passed through the spring flowers and willow branches, quietly stained with a little water vapor that has not yet faded, listening to the melodious singing of birds, Li Sui and his servant came to a very quiet place in Yuqing Temple. In front of the secluded courtyard.

Walking on the pebble path, there seemed to be no one in the courtyard from a distance, but Yu Nu reminded vigilantly: "Princess, this courtyard is surrounded by hidden guards."

Li Sui nodded indifferently when she heard the words, until she passed the end of the path and entered an arched door, and saw an all-too-familiar figure respectfully greet her.

"princess."

Looking at Chen Zhong in front of him, Li Sui looked up at the confinement courtyard in front of him, his eyes couldn't be calmer.

"Princess, please come in, the Taiwei has been waiting for a long time."

While speaking, Chen Zhong carefully guided Li Sui to open the door and walked in.

"You two ladies, please wait here—"

Hearing Chen Zhong's embarrassing voice, Nian Nu and Yu Nu did not move. Li Sui glanced sideways and was extremely respectful. He accompanied the cautious Chen Zhong, and with a light look in his eyes, Nian Nu and Yu Nu waited obediently Land, there is no meaning to follow up.

Seeing this, Chen Zhong bowed gratefully to Li Sui, and the two continued to walk in.

As the two of them walked through the corridor of the house, and only reached the last closed room under the corridor, Chen Zhong retreated more humbly, and said to Li Sui: "Princess, please."

Hearing this, Li Sui glanced in front of him, pushed the door lightly and walked in. The familiar Laoshan sandalwood lingered on the tip of his nose, as if he could calm his mind.

Li Sui walked in alone, until he passed through a small door, only to find that his eyes suddenly opened up.

It turned out that this place actually led to a treasure hall. In the silence, a majestic figure was vaguely covered by the corridor pillars. At this moment, he was standing behind the incense table offering high-scented fruit offerings. But it cannot be ignored.

Li Sui looked over the incense table to the tall and solemn golden statue of a real person.Others came here to worship the gods, and Yang Chongyuan in front of him stood there, looking up at the golden statue with eyes as deep as an abyss, without any trace of prayer or piety.

That's right, as arrogant as Yang Chongyuan, he only believed in himself all his life, so how could he bend his knees and entrust his whole life to others.

"Uncle has a lot of things to do every day, and today I have time to worship God and offer incense."

Li Sui walked closer while talking, and Yang Chongyuan, who was standing there at this moment, also turned his head sideways, his eyebrows still showing the kindness of his elders, and his lips were somewhat gentle.

"Aman is here."

Seeing Li Sui salute as a junior, Yang Chongyuan said slowly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm getting thinner."

After all, Yang Chongyuan did not hide the elder's concern and said, "If your elder sister sees it, I'm afraid she will be sad—"

As soon as these words came out, Li Sui, who had lowered his eyes, clenched his right hand tightly. Although this scene was light, it was still caught in Yang Chongyuan's eyes. He looked back clearly, and looked at the golden statue in front of him slowly and compassionately. He murmured like he was late: "As time goes by, your elder sister has been gone for more than half a month. These days, I am thinking that there used to be Emperor Wen who built a layered view for Empress Wende, and an emperor who wrote a collection of poems for Shangguan. My sister has spent her whole life for the family and the country, so she shouldn't just leave quietly like this."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chongyuan turned to look at Li Sui, and said eloquently: "So, I want to write a letter to build the Wangxian Building for the queen in the palace, opposite to your sister's mausoleum, and put your sister's portrait in the building, poetry collection , as well as the loved ones during his lifetime, and leave something for future generations to remember.”

Hearing the eagerness of the loving father and daughter in front of him, Li Sui's face did not change, but his heart was indifferent.

"Aman, you and Sister Yu Niang are deeply in love. It is undoubtedly the most suitable thing for you to do this. Therefore, I want to ask the Ministry of Industry and the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau to assist you in building this building to honor the virtue of the Queen. In this way, you Sister Quan Xia knows, and will understand."

"These high-sounding possessions are really what my sister wants?"

In the silent hall, Li Sui suddenly spoke out, his tone was terrifyingly calm, and he only overflowed word by word.

"Or, what do you need?"

Hearing this, Yang Chongyuan's expression remained unchanged, he just stared quietly at Li Sui in front of him, and said after a long time: "Then Ah Man thinks, what does your sister want?"

Seeing Yang Chongyuan ask this question openly, Li Sui couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard some joke, and then said calmly after a while: "As a country, you can't even protect your own children when you are alive. What's the point of gaining fame with all these flowers?"

After all, Li Sui looked at Yang Chongyuan without evasion, and asked calmly: "Uncle, I really do, I wonder what sister wants in this life?"

Noticing that Yang Chongyuan's face was dark, Li Sui smiled lightly and said, "Look, it's not that you don't know, but you know but can't give it."

After finishing speaking, Li Sui crossed his arms and saluted, "Forgive me for my incompetence, please ask the Taiwei to ask someone else for this matter."

"So you're going to deal with her close relatives because of your elder sister, because of the few words of my enemies from the Yang and Li clans?"

Hearing this, Li Sui, who was about to turn around to leave, was taken aback for a long time, and finally turned around angrily, "So, is the Taiwei following me?"

Sensing the spontaneous anger of the young niece in front of him, Yang Chongyuan was not dissatisfied and sullen, but felt indifferent in his heart that everything was under control.

"Even if it was the night before your elder sister left, she was still concerned about your safety. You are her concern, and I am his father. How can she not be at ease even if she leaves."

While speaking, Yang Chongyuan slowly stepped forward and said, "The people sent out will naturally protect you."

Seeing that Yang Chongyuan didn't mention Yang Jin at all, Li Sui naturally understood what he was thinking, so he pretended not to know and just smiled indifferently.

"Aman, you entered the Taiwei's Mansion when you were seven years old, and you have been together day and night for ten years. You really believe an outsider's words, and you really want to go on the road of confrontation with your sister's closest relatives. These are really you. Sister wants to see, bears to see?"

Sensing the momentary wavering of the person in front of him, Yang Chongyuan knew the time was right, and he took out a letter from his sleeve without haste, and his words gradually became colder: "What's more, those people who shake you are the ones who killed Xiao Yu. The real murderer."

After the words fell, Yang Chongyuan was not surprised to see the person in front of him raise his head, his pupils constricted, and he said in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

While speaking, Li Sui saw the complex anger in Yang Chongyuan's eyes, which he tried to hold back, and saw the letter he handed over.

When the letter was opened between slender and delicate fingers, accompanied by the sound of the pages unfolding, Yang Chongyuan saw that the haggard face of the person in front of him became more and more transparent, and even his lips trembled slightly.

"Xiao Yu's child's death was indeed not the will of God, but it was caused by her trusted pillow today."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's words, Li Sui took a deep breath, as if convincing himself, suddenly looked at him and said, "Sun Zhong is a member of the Taiwei, and now you are holding his testimony, and you want me to believe all of this , How do I know that he is just a dead move of yours, or was beaten into a trick by someone."

Seeing that Li Sui was unmoved, Yang Chongyuan was not angry, but said quietly: "For a long time, I, like your elder sister, thought that he was a pawn of my Yang family, but who would have thought that our Mingtang Although the Son of Heaven above is young, he is well versed in the principle of counter-intrigue."

While speaking, footsteps sounded in his ears, and when Li Suixun looked at the sound, he saw a middle-aged man in his 40s walking in, tremblingly said: "Taiwei, Wangfei—"

After Yang Chongyuan said "Yes", the man took out a booklet from his pocket and humbly placed it on top of his head.

"The younger one is the person who served the Imperial Physician Ling personally. This, this is the book written by the Imperial Physician Ling every day before his death."

As soon as these words came out, Li Sui looked at Yang Chongyuan, but saw Yang Chongyuan reached out to take it and handed it to her.

As Li Sui took it with a tight frown, the long suit had already retreated carefully. When Li Sui opened the pages one by one, he was shocked again.

Because it clearly recorded Sun Zhongping's daily secrets one by one, when and when he was secretly summoned by Emperor Yuan Cheng, how he gave the medicine to sister, how he got the medicine...

Everything could not be more detailed.

"After the death of Prince Wenhui, I found out some clues and realized Sun Zhong's infidelity, but it was already too late, so on the second day after your elder sister left, I will be in front of her spirit. Sun Zhong, the man with both ends of the head, was imprisoned. If not, Sun Zhong would have fallen into the hands of the emperor and went underground with his secrets. You and I would not be able to see the truth of all this, let alone avenge her gone."

Seeing that Li Sui was silent, immersed in sadness and despair, and unwilling to believe it, Yang Chongyuan reminded bit by bit: "These are all written by Sun Zhong himself, and no one has faked his words. Besides—”

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's pause, Li Sui looked quietly, clearly seeing an undisguised chill in Yang Chongyuan's pupils.

"The night Sun Zhong was imprisoned, he was almost poisoned to death."

"You killed Sun Zhongfei?"

Seeing Li Sui's astonishment, Yang Chongyuan smiled suddenly, but his eyes were a bit deep: "Now, Ah Man understands the way our emperor abandons his car to protect his handsome man?"

"If I hadn't saved a trick to let Sun Zhong cheat his death, how could I avoid the eyes and ears of the emperor and Pengcheng and find out the truth?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Chongyuan clapped his palm lightly.

When Li Sui heard the sound and looked, his eyes fell on the ragged Sun Zhong who should have died long ago, and on the "killer" servant sent by the emperor, Yang Chongyuan knew that his game of chess had come to an end. separated.

Nothing unexpected happened, Sun Zhong, who had survived the catastrophe, wept and told what he did under the persecution of the emperor, and watched the servant explain the details of how Pengcheng sent him to murder Sun Zhong.

Li Sui didn't say anything.

When the two men retreated and only Yang Chongyuan and Li Sui were left, Yang Chongyuan looked at her silently, and after a long time, he said with a feeling of sadness and sigh: "Aman, you are a smart child, you are Xiao Yu's favorite sister, Xiao Yu's death is very important to you Uncle has a deep understanding of the blow, but at this time, you, my family, Yang Li, and my family must work together, and we must not let the loved ones suffer, and the enemies will be quick."

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Chongyuan saw that the person in front of him finally loosened up, looked at him for a long time and said, "What does uncle want from me?"

Seeing this look, Yang Chongyuan immediately felt peaceful and relieved: "I have no doubts, let's work together to return everything that your sister, my Yang family, and the Li family have endured over the years."

Hearing this, Li Sui didn't immediately make a decision, let alone answer directly, but looked at Yang Chongyuan calmly and said, "As my uncle said, I grew up in the Taiwei's Mansion for nearly ten years, and I naturally understand the current situation under the influence of my ears and eyes. It has collapsed since Sister's death, my Li family used to be in the same spirit as the Yang family, and I will continue to do so in the future. Is this honesty from the beginning to the end, should it be exchanged for a promise?"

"Do you believe me?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's rhetorical question, Li Sui met him fixedly and said: "As high as the sun and the moon, as close relatives as husband and wife, the emperor and sister-in-law have been like this for many years, even an outsider like Pengcheng threatened me with this, and even used power This person wins over me, I am the Li family in this life, so I have to plan for the Li family, my uncle must be able to understand the heart of a man."

"It's not my uncle or my aunt that I don't believe in, but the vicissitudes of the current situation. The matter of the Cao family plotting against me and the Li family was still in my throat. If this misunderstanding cannot be resolved, I am afraid that the relationship between the two families will be misunderstood in the future."

After all, Li Sui said frankly: "Uncle has the whole world in his heart, so he must not get entangled in such trivial matters."

Hearing Li Sui bring up the old things again, Yang Chongyuan's eyes moved slightly, but the next moment he laughed loudly: "Okay, Ah Man is indeed Ah Man—"

After all, Yang Chongyuan seemed to say with emotion: "If your elder sister had been sober like you before, she wouldn't have plotted against Chen Xuan and the others."

Seeing Li Sui's pupils sinking slightly, Yang Chongyuan said, "Then what kind of promise do you want?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's compromise, Li Sui raised his head and said: "Sister is like my aunt, I only hope that our brothers and sisters can be safe and peaceful in this life, so I ask my uncle to announce to the world that Erlang will be the eldest son of Taiwei's mansion, and their brothers will be calmed down from then on." strife between them."

As soon as these words came out, Li Sui saw the complex and silent changes in Yang Chongyuan's seemingly calm eyes.

But what she wanted was more than that.

"At the same time, please ask my uncle to write a promise in black and white in front of you and me, and affix it with a private seal, promising that if the Yang family ascends to the extreme position in the future, Erlang will be appointed as the new crown prince."

At this moment, Li Sui saw hesitation and shock in Yang Chongyuan's eyes for the first time.

Because he understands that once this promise is made, even if the Yang family wins the country in the future, this heir is destined to be Yang Yan in the world, and it can only be Yang Yan.

And the Li family behind Yang Yan will undoubtedly be more stable.

Accompanied by another burst of unexpected laughter, Yang Chongyuan was not surprised by such outspokenness of treason and usurpation, but half-joking and half-emotionally said: "Aman can also say these treasonous words now."

"If you don't succeed, you will succeed."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's words, Li Sui did not have the slightest fear of his little daughter's family. The calmness and seriousness at this moment seemed to make Yang Chongyuan ignore her age.

"My Li family and the Yang family are now on this road, and I am betting on the lives of my whole family, Zhao Yi and the lives of the frontier soldiers behind me. If this continues, there are only two ways, either to lose all bones, or to win. The power of the dragon—"

Speaking of this, Li Suizheng looked at Yang Chongyuan awe-inspiringly and said: "If my uncle really just wants to coerce the emperor to make the princes, then there is no need to take risks anymore. Since we are destined to take risks now, isn't it because the current situation can no longer be maintained?" Is it balanced?"

"Since that's the case, this promise is not empty talk, but the determination of our two families to win, and uncle's ambition to develop a great career, isn't it?"

After the words fell, the hatchback was silent. At this moment, Yang Chongyuan stared deeply at Li Sui in front of him, but his gaze was no longer that of an elder.

It's more like an ally.

It seems that he really did not make a mistake.

It's a pity, it's a pity that it's a daughter's house.

But for his Yang family, this is undoubtedly a blessing.

If Ah Man is really a man, even Da Lang and Er Lang combined may not be sharper, more venomous, and more sharp than her.

"Okay, I answer you—"

……

Watching Yang Chongyuan leave, Li Sui also turned and walked towards the way he came.

When Nian Nu and Yu Nu who were guarding outside saw her, they rushed up nervously.

At this moment, the three master and servant didn't say anything, Li Sui just smiled, holding the promise with Yang Chongyuan's private seal in his hand, the victory in his eyes was faintly shining like a sharp knife out of its sheath.

Whether it's with Pengcheng or Yang Chongyuan, it's all just playing tricks on the spot, seeking skin with a tiger.

Now, in Pengcheng's eyes, she is a pawn who is insane about Sister's death and encouraged by her.

In Yang Chongyuan's eyes, she was just the youngest daughter's family who was persuaded by a series of schemes set up by him. Although she had a little care to protect the tribe, she was not enough to be a threat.

Because they don't know, they don't know that she knows everything from the beginning to the end, and they don't know that the enemy in her mouth is not only the other party.

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.

It looks dangerous, but it is the safest.

In comparison, no matter how deep the city is in Pengcheng, it cannot compare with Yang Chongyuan after all.

That's why he counted.

On the day of Sister's death, it seemed that Yang Chongyuan was the first to be unable to sit still, but in reality he was just using Sun Zhong as a bait, first with Sun Zhong's secret notes, and then to force Peng Cheng to kill people, one by one, enough to cause trouble.

Even if the incident happens in the future, the crime can be pushed to Emperor Yuancheng and Pengcheng without any involvement.

From the beginning to the end, Sun Zhong was a member of Yang Chongyuan. Emperor Yuan Cheng thought that he had taken Sun Zhong for his own use, but in fact he just fell into the trap that Yang Chongyuan had already set.

At this moment, Li Sui silently raised his hand to look at the paper promise in his hand.

Looking at this promise that determines the future of the Yang family and even the Li family, my heart has become more and more determined.

In her previous life, she was never soft-hearted, and in this life, she will not be.

Because she knew very well that from this moment on, tigers and wolves would be around her.
