Chapter 48: Talking about love and discussing usurpation of power
Mingzhu was shocked by Li Longji's sudden move. Before she could understand what was going on, she was already embraced by Li Longji. Mingzhu was shocked and instinctively wanted to resist, but her
As soon as he exerted force with his arms, he felt that Li Longji's body was extremely soft, without any strength at all. His whole body seemed to be empty, relying so heavily on the pearl. It made people feel that he was not only using his body
It was entrusted to Mingzhu, and all his spirit, strength, soul, and emotions were handed over without reservation!
Mingzhu forgot to resist because she seemed to have seen the same scene. Once in modern times, after she and Yan became good friends, she once told Yan about her misfortune as a child. At that time, she also threw herself in the same way.
Entering Yan's arms, it seemed as if she had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers and finally found support. At that time, Yan immediately embraced her, held her gently, and comforted her repeatedly. Time had passed.
After such a long time, Mingzhu has been able to recall the peace and happiness that filled her soul at that time.
Recalling the past, Mingzhu's heart felt sour. The Li Longji in front of her was so similar to her former self. In modern times, she used those shocking absurdities to cover up the scars in her heart, while Li Longji hung up on the romantic prince.
Veil, laughing in the world, struggling to survive in the cracks of the sinister imperial power!
Mingzhu's heart surged with sympathy, and she spread her arms and put them around Li Longji's back, just as Yan once comforted herself, to comfort Li Longji.
The two hugged each other like this and did not separate for a long time. Li Longji even wanted to fall asleep in this gentle embrace. It had been almost twenty years, and his heart had never been so relaxed and peaceful.
Suddenly, he heard a splash in the lake. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear in such a quiet night. Li Longji suddenly woke up from his dream, suddenly let go of the pearl and looked back, only to see the black
On the lake, there were circles of ripples. As the ripples became shallower and shallower, the water slowly returned to calm.
"What was the sound just now?" Mingzhu asked, standing behind Li Longji.
"I don't know, maybe something like a toad jumped down." Li Longji was still staring at the lake. On the surface, he seemed to be looking for the thing that made the noise, but in fact, he was a little shy.
When Yu turned around and faced Mingzhu, he never dreamed in his life that one day he would let go of all his guard against a girl he had only met a few times.
"Do you think I'm too weak and not like a man?" Li Longji asked with his back to Mingzhu. In fact, this was what worried him most. He did not regret his true feelings just now. If possible, he would
Mingzhu showed his lifelong true love in front of him, but he was afraid that Mingzhu would look down on him because of it.
Mingzhu smiled slightly:
"Why do you have such an idea? I think that both men and women should be able to be strong and unyielding, but also flexible. If you are blindly strong or weak, it will not only make you very tired, but also be flexible.
It will cause pain to those who care about you."
"Your statement is quite new. Why do you think so?" Li Longji turned around. He was very happy to have found a topic that could dilute some of his embarrassment and allow him to look at Mingzhu legitimately.
"This is indeed the case. For example, you and I, you want to be an upright hero, so you must be responsible and strong. However, if you return to the person who truly loves you, for example, your
Brother, your wife, if you are still like a stone in front of them, cold and emotionless, that would be so sad. And the same is true for me. I will be weak in front of those who love me.
, can act coquettishly, and even be willful. But when my relatives really need me to contribute and bear the disaster, I can also face it without hesitation, throw away all the fragility, and be a woman stronger than a man.
.I like such a man, and I also hope that I can become such a woman."
After listening to Mingzhu's words, Li Longji was speechless for a long time. He just looked at Mingzhu deeply. Unfortunately, it was too dark, otherwise Mingzhu would have been able to see it. At this time, Li Longji's eyes were full of infinite surprise and desire!
After so many years, there have been countless beauties around him. He cherished each of them, but he always felt that they were missing something, and it was these things they lacked that made Li Longji feel regretful and unable to devote himself to it.
Love them.
But Li Longji himself couldn't explain what the perfect woman in his mind should look like. But Mingzhu's words just now solved the mystery in his mind!
Yes, when soft, it is like water, able to tolerate and lift everything. When steel is like stone, it is not afraid of all disasters! When you are emotional, you can smile beautifully in front of yourself, awakening all the brightness in the world, and when you need it,
She was able to take on the role of confidant and think tank without hesitation. This was the Fang Mingzhu in front of her, the woman she really wanted to find!
At this moment, Li Longji really wanted to say loudly to Mingzhu:
"You don't need hope, you are such a woman! You dare to come to Chang'an alone, subdue the assassins sent by Taiping, enter Princess Anle's mansion, and meet Empress Wei. All of this is enough to prove your courage and wisdom.
And the innocence and liveliness you occasionally show in front of me is so fascinating."
But for some reason, these words were rolling around in Li Longji's heart, hitting his throat again and again, but he just couldn't say them out. On weekdays, saying something to coax a woman was a normal thing for him.
, but now, he dare not say a word easily, for fear that if he does something bad, Mingzhu will look down upon him.
Men may be like this. The more they care about a woman, the more they will be at a loss in front of this woman, unable to advance or retreat. With no choice, Li Longji had no choice but to talk to Fang Mingzhu about the throne again.
"The effect of your meeting with Empress Wei today was not bad." Li Longji said.
When Li Longji started talking about business, Mingzhu became serious. She sat on the railing again, as if talking to herself:
"I don't know Empress Wei very well, so I don't dare to say how effective it will be. I just feel that Empress Wei is different from what I imagined."
"Oh? Then what does Empress Wei look like in your imagination?"
"In my imagination, she should be beautiful, dignified, majestic and full of wisdom. Of course, she is also beautiful, graceful and a smart woman, but I always feel that she seems to be missing something.
"
Li Longji smiled slightly and gave the answer:
"Lack of great wisdom."
"Great wisdom?" Mingzhu didn't quite understand this word.
"Yes. In other words, Queen Wei's intelligence belongs to women, not to emperors."
Mingzhu immediately understood what Li Longji meant:
"I understand, only someone like Queen Zetian can be considered as possessing the wisdom of an emperor, and that is great wisdom."
"Yes." Li Longji looked at Mingzhu approvingly - in his life, there really was such a girl, who could completely follow his own thoughts and talk to him freely. How rare this is.
But something that cannot be asked for.
Li Longji continued:
"There are many smart people in this world, but few who can become a good emperor. This is because not all people have such great wisdom."
"Do you have such great wisdom?" Mingzhu suddenly asked.
Li Longji didn't expect Mingzhu to ask such a straightforward question, but in this way, he just took advantage of the opportunity to ask what he had always wanted to ask:
"Mingzhu, before I answer your question, can I ask you a question first?"
"what is the problem?"
"Are you from the Fang family in the Western Region?"
Mingzhu was shocked:
‘It’s finally here! Now is your last chance to make a decision whether to do this medicine guide or not.’
Although she thought so in her heart, Mingzhu did not hesitate at all and said extremely calmly:
"What I'm doing now is a major disaster for the nine tribes, isn't it?"
Mingzhu's answer was very smart. She neither admitted that she was nor said that she was not. She just continued what Li Longji said last time - since I dare to do this kind of thing of exterminating families and confiscating homes, then who am I?
Did I say that clearly?
Mingzhu's trick was very effective. To Li Longji, Mingzhu had admitted that he was indeed from the Fang family in the Western Regions.
"Okay, since you are really from the Fang family, then there is one thing that puzzles me. According to the saying passed down by our Li family, the Fang family can punish the unscrupulous descendants of the Li family, so why did Queen Zetian
When he established himself as emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou, the Fang family did not help the Li family, but now they are involved in these things?"
This is the method Li Chengqi and Li Longji discussed last time - if Fang Mingzhu can reasonably explain this problem, then it means that the Fang family is indeed prepared this time, and they can cooperate with the Fang family.
After listening to Li Longji's words, Mingzhu felt like her head was getting big:
'When Empress Zetian ascended the throne, my mother had no accident. Why should I come? At that time, the real Fang family was already in danger. How could they come to take care of the Li family's affairs? How should I answer this question?
!'
Mingzhu suddenly felt very regretful. Why didn't she use the charming skills she learned in modern times? She was so obsessed with Li Longji that he came to find out the truth now! But then she thought about it, if Li Longji really
If he is so easily fascinated by women, then he probably won’t be able to seek power and seize the throne, and help himself get the colorful clothes!
