The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 347

Li Longji, who was wearing a black brocade robe, was sitting worriedly in the Qixiang car. The pure black satin embroidered with dragon patterns made him look more plump and handsome, with his legs stretched slightly outward, and his eyes closed to rest.Surrounded by the noisy Chang'an market, from time to time there is the sound of hawking from the car window.Chang Xi sat beside him silently, but put a hand on the back of his hand, stroking it lightly, and his expression was quite downcast.

"When you are born less than a hundred years old, you often worry about being a thousand years old!" Li Longji uttered a line of Chinese poetry in a low voice, with depressive emotions in his deep voice.

Chang Xi sighed softly, and said slowly, "Your Majesty is still worried about Brother Ning?"

Li Longji didn't speak, but nodded slowly.

Recently, news has spread into Xingqing Palace that the old and sick King Ning may not be able to do it this time!No matter how many famous doctors are summoned, it is difficult to save his decaying body.Li Longji, who was busy with state affairs at the beginning, still sent Li Hao and other princes to attend to the sick, but when the news of his serious illness came again today, Li Longji, who was dealing with state affairs with Li Linfu in the Palace of Qinzheng, finally couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart. Take Chang Xi and rush towards Prince Ning's Mansion.

Chang Xi knows the relationship between Li Longji and his elder brother King Ning!Originally, according to the situation at the time, this Prince Ning should be the emperor, but King Ning knew that his talents and prestige were not as good as Li Longji, so he repeatedly asked to resign as the prince and let Li Sanlang who had made great contributions to the Li family.For more than ten years, King Ning has been silently giving behind Li Longji, never complaining, once seriously ill, how can His Majesty not be in a hurry?
Li Longji suddenly said bitterly: "Even if you have all kinds of skills and abilities, you can't escape this day! Chang Xi, you said that if I go before you, you—"

Chang Xi quickly covered Li Longji's mouth, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't say that! There won't be such a day!"

Li Longji held Chang Xi's hand in his palm with a smile, and said softly: "People will die, and so will I! I am not afraid of death, but I just can't bear you! Xi'er, do people really have an afterlife? If so There is an afterlife, in this endless cycle, can I meet you again!"

"Sanlang!" Chang Xi felt a pain in his heart when he heard Li Longji's words, and quickly rushed forward and hugged him, with fine tears streaming down his eyes, "I don't allow such a thing to happen! If this day really happens, I will definitely To walk before His Majesty, Xi'er... Xi'er cannot accept such a cruel fact, and cannot live without His Majesty!"

Li Longji saw her suddenly moved, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "You are talking stupid! You are my cousin, more than ten years younger than me, how can you walk in front of me? Besides , since you can't accept this cruel fact, how can I bear the pain of losing you!"

Chang Xi choked with sobs and said: "I don't want to leave Saburo, if there is such a day, I hope you and I will go side by side, turn into dust, and never be separated!"

Li Longji felt extremely uncomfortable, but forced himself to comfort Chang Xi: "Don't say such sad things! You and I will live a long life! We can't walk anymore, so we support each other. Let’s sit together on the stone steps of Jiaofang Hall and look at the pear blossoms in the courtyard. I will always remember the night you danced for me under the pear tree!”

"Okay! Xi'er is willing to dance for His Majesty forever!" Chang Xi sobbed on his shoulder.

"Your Majesty! Prince Ning's Mansion is here!" Gao Lishi's voice came from outside the car.

Li Longji stroked Chang Xi's back, and said softly, "Don't cry, silly girl, Prince Ning's Mansion is here!"

Chang Xi hurriedly got up from him, and wiped away the tears on his face with his hands.With the support of Gao Lishi, he got off the Qixiang car.

The two walked in side by side, and saw that the normally lively Prince Ning's Mansion was surprisingly deserted. The two paper lanterns outside the door were shaking violently in the wind. Turning around the screen wall, it was the lobby. The head color is depressed and rushes by.

Li Longji came here in casual clothes this time, and he didn't want to disturb everyone, so he went straight to the bedroom where King Ning stayed under the guidance of Gao Lishi.Entering the door, I saw all the heirs of Prince Ning's mansion weeping softly in the outer hall, the mistress of Prince Ning's mansion was sitting on a wooden chair wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Xiao Qiong was also standing by the pillar, silent and sad.

"How is sister-in-law?" Li Longji's warm voice surprised everyone, but they also found that when the emperor arrived, the voice of long live was constantly shouting in the lobby.

Chang Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Ning, and said softly: "Madam, please get up, is Brother Ning inside?"

"Inside! Inside!" Princess Ning said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to visit in person!"

Just as Li Longji was about to say something, he heard a weak voice from the inner hall: "Is... Your Majesty? Please... Come in!"

"Brother!" Li Longji responded, and quickly walked into the inner room holding Chang Xi's hand, only to see King Ning lying on the couch, his cheeks were as dry as a mummy in a tomb because he hadn't had water or rice for many days , a pair of bony hands were held in front of him, indescribably desolate.

Li Longji felt a pain in his heart, is this old man still the heroic elder brother back then!It turns out that time and disease can destroy a person into such a state, Li Longji choked on King Ning's hand and said, "Brother, take care!"

King Ning coughed a few times, and a sickly blush appeared on his pale face, "It's fortunate that my third brother came to see me, otherwise I'm afraid we brothers will never see each other again!" The dying King Ning stopped calling The man in the past is called His Majesty, but he is called the third brother as he was when he was young.

Chang Xi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly, "Brother, don't say such disheartening words! Next year, His Majesty will take all the brothers and princes to hunt in Mount Li!"

"Hunting or something, I can't do it! Don't open that strong bow again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get on the horse!" King Ning's tone was filled with indescribable depression and desolation. At this time, he was no longer The noble prince who had power in the Tang Dynasty was just an old man on the verge of death.

Li Longji knew that elder brother's time was short, so he asked Yin Yin: "Does elder brother have any unfulfilled wishes?"

King Ning choked up and said: "In this life, I have experienced too many winds and rains. I shouldn't have any extravagances if I can live to this day. There is only one thing that I still can't let go. I want to entrust my third brother!"

"Brother, just give orders! But for the future of Prince Ning's descendants?" Li Longji asked with grief.

King Ning shook his head, "My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I don't think about them, but I always think about these two children, Mao'er and Qiong'er!"

Chang Xi was taken aback for a moment, but then he was very moved. The dying King Ning was actually thinking about his son!
King Ning sighed: "Qiong'er is the flesh and blood of Yuzhen's younger sister. Although the son-in-law Xiao Yu rebelled against the fifth brother, the child is innocent! His mother has been a monk in the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City for more than ten years, and he has also been a monk for more than ten years. An orphan who was born in [-], after I die, please ask my third brother to take care of him!" While talking, he didn't look at Li Longji, but looked straight at Chang Xi.

Chang Xi knew that King Ning had secretly known that he and Yuzhen had a holiday, and was afraid that he would embarrass Xiao Qiong after his death, so he stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, brother, Qiong'er and Mao'er are like brothers, and I will take care of Princess Yuzhen instead. Joan's!"

Only then did King Ning slowly nod his head, and said again: "Although Mao'er has his third younger brother and concubine Hui to take care of him, he grew up beside me, and I know his temperament well. Being used by others, Third Brother and Concubine Hui should keep an eye on him!"

Li Longji said: "Brother, don't worry, Mao'er is my favorite child!"

"It's because of this that I'm even more worried! Cough cough!" King Ning coughed uncontrollably, his whole body shaking.

Chang Xi hurriedly poured a cup of tea for King Ning from the table, and fed him to drink, so that he could catch his breath.

King Ning nodded and said, "Concubine Hui, can you go out first?"

Chang Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then knew that King Ning had something private to say to Li Longji alone. Although he was suspicious and curious, he had no choice but to put down his cup and go outside.

Seeing Chang Xi going out, the two brothers said slowly, "Mao'er grew up beside me, and I know his temperament well. Mao'er is more than kind but not courageous, and he is not good at strategy. The prince is more than enough, but if you want to be the emperor, you just—cough cough"

"Brother! I understand what you mean!" Li Longji patted King Ning on the back.

King Ning said in a hoarse voice: "Seeing the third younger brother love Mao'er so much, I am both happy and worried. I am really worried that you will abandon Prince Ying and make Maoer the crown prince under Aiwu and Wuxia! You have to know, this The position of crown prince is not only a family matter but also a state matter. Once the East Palace is shaken, it will not only make the Tang Dynasty turbulent, but also very likely endanger the safety of the third brother! So no matter how much you love Concubine Wu Hui and Maoer, please don't make him do it Prince!"

Li Longji took King Ning's hand and said with certainty: "Don't worry, brother, I will never make Maoer the crown prince!"

"Really?" King Ning looked at Li Longji in disbelief. With his love for Concubine Hui, how could he agree to this so easily? Could it be that he was perfunctory?

Li Longji seemed to guess what his elder brother was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Mao'er is not my own son!"

"What!" King Ning leaned back, as if he couldn't accept the fact, he quickly grabbed Li Longji's sleeve and said, "Whose son is that?" Several objects changed in his mind, Li Ye?Xiao Yu?

Li Longji said somewhat dejectedly: "The child that Chang Xi gave birth to that day died not long after. I was afraid that she would be so hurt that she would go crazy, so I ordered Gao Lishi to bring this baby from a private household in Chang'an City!"

"You...how can you confuse the royal blood.... You are so confused!" King Ning thumped the bed with all his strength.

Li Longji said slowly: "So don't worry, brother, I will not make Maoer the crown prince!"

"But Concubine Hui doesn't know, the Wu brothers don't know, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the world don't know! All they see is that you dote on Concubine Wu Hui and the son she gave birth to, and they will spare no effort to pull Prince Ying Step down to the throne of the crown prince and support Mao'er. At that time, Ying'er and Mao'er will definitely have a life-and-death contest! Third brother, would you like to see the ancestor Xuanwumen brothers fight each other (Tang Taizong Li Shimin in order to ascend the throne Xuanwumen shot and killed his elder brother and younger brother) will it happen again in this dynasty!"

Li Longji sighed, "I will stop this!"

"You can't stop it!" King Ning yelled regretfully, "At that time, no one can stop them! This must be a war that shakes the foundation of the country!" The more he talked, the more excited King Ning put his hands on his chest, feeling sad He roared, "My Mao'er, my Datang! My—" Before he could finish speaking, he fainted on the couch.
