Chapter 77 A piece of infatuation can shake the sky
After hearing Wu Sansi's order, several ferocious-looking burly men immediately rushed towards Mingzhu and grabbed Mingzhu's arms from left to right. However, Mingzhu remained calm and opened her arms.
She looked at everything in front of her indifferently, and let the big men drag her to a torture instrument - these torture instruments in the dungeon are all particular, what is used for the first punishment, and what is used for the second punishment, so
As long as the big men received the order to start the torture, there was no need to think twice about anything else.
Li Longji and Li Chengqi, who had been paying close attention to the developments in Princess Anle's mansion, knew the news of the pearl being taken away at the first time. Although they did not find out the real reason why Wu Sansi took away the pearl, they knew that the so-called household registration
It proved to be nothing more than a clumsy excuse. More importantly, they knew very well that since Mingzhu was taken away by Wu Sansi, it would be a disaster!
"Tell me, why did Wu Sansi take away Fang Mingzhu?" Li Chengqi asked in a deep voice.
"I don't care why, and I don't have time to care about it. I just know that she can't fall into Wu Sansi's hands. I have to save her!" Li Longji growled, with a restless light flashing in his eyes. At this time, his
The look in his eyes is very similar to that of Wu Sansi, also like a ferocious beast. But Wu Sansi has the look of a beast that has seen its prey, while Li Longji has the look of a beast that has lost its loved ones.
"No matter how he thinks about it, Wu Sansi has no reason to take Fang Mingzhu away? Although he is very disdainful of Empress Wei and her daughter, he can usually keep his face, so there is no need for him to offend a craftsman like this.
Peace and happiness?" Li Chengqi was still pondering there.
Li Longji completely lost his patience, and he punched the table hard:
"I don't care why Wu Sansi kidnapped her now, and I don't want to care about it. I just know that I must rescue her immediately. We are all too aware of Wu Sansi's viciousness and methods, so I can never let her stay any longer.
In Wu Sansi’s hands, it won’t work for even a minute!”
Li Longji's punch made the teacup on the table sway a few times, and his suppressed but fierce roar seemed to make the ground beneath his feet shake!
And Li Chengqi is also very special. No matter how impatient and angry Li Longji is, he always maintains his usual elegance and warmth, even calmer than usual - this is Li Chengqi's ability, no matter when and what he encounters
No matter what happens, I can maintain this calmness:
"Third brother, listen to me, we must analyze the matter clearly!"
"What are you analyzing! You clearly don't care about Mingzhu's life or death, and you don't care about the dangers she will encounter! In your heart, Mingzhu is just a tool that can help us get the throne back! So without this tool, you can
Find another one. But I am different, I can’t lose her, I can’t let her get any harm, absolutely not! Because,” Li Longji suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said in a low voice, “I love her!”
Li Longji's last confession shocked Li Chengqi. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief:
"You, unexpectedly, God, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Li Chengqi wanted to raise his hand and pat Li Longji's shoulder comfortingly, but he raised his hand in the air and put it down again, because he also
It can be seen that for Li Longji, any comfort is of no use now, so he put down his hand and continued to explain, "Although I also know that you care about this Fang Mingzhu, I really didn't expect that you treat her so much."
The affection is so deep." Li Chengqi shook his head and added, "I really didn't expect it."
Li Longji laughed miserably, avoided Li Chengqi's gaze, looked outside, and whispered:
"What? You think I've been merciful for so many years but never really cared about women, so you think I only care about Mingzhu, right?" Before Li Chengqi could speak, Li Longji gave his own answer.
, "I don't blame you for thinking this way. It's normal for you to think this way. I have indeed been like this over the years. I even thought so myself before. But just now, as soon as I knew
After the pearl was taken away by Wu Sansi, I realized that I thought wrong. I really thought wrong." Li Longji showed that weak smile again. Li Chengqi knew what his third brother's smile meant. For many years
The difficult life they have faced has made their brothers forget what it means to cry. Whenever they want to cry, they use this smile instead. So behind this smile, there is deep despair and sadness hidden!
Li Longji’s words continued:
"It wasn't until this time that I realized that she had been deeply imprinted in my heart. I couldn't lose her, I really couldn't! The thought of her being tortured at the hands of Wu Sansi, or even -" Li
Longji suddenly paused, because he felt that he could not say the word death. He would rather die than associate such a cruel word with the pearl, so he skipped the word and continued, "When I think of it,
I am afraid of these, the fear from the heart, the feeling is just like when my mother passed away. However, I was still young at that time, so I could not feel the heartache so clearly as I can now.
!”
Li Longji's voice became lower and lower, until finally he fell silent. Li Chengqi's voice also became lower:
"I really didn't expect this. You guys haven't known each other for a long time..."
"Perhaps true love has nothing to do with the length of time we are together." Li Longji's expression was particularly sad, "Mingzhu once said two lines of poetry to me. I didn't quite understand them at the time, but now I understand."
"What poem?"
"If love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night?"
After listening to these two poems, Li Chengqi's heart seemed to be hit hard by something. The figure of an elf-like girl broke into his heart without warning!
Li Longji did not notice Li Chengqi's emotional changes, and was still immersed in his own thoughts:
"Yes, if we really fell in love with each other, how could we live together day and night? Mingzhu and I didn't really get together for long, and we would even quarrel fiercely when we were together. However, this does not hinder
I care about her, love her, and I can't lose her."
Li Chengqi lowered his head, hiding the sadness in his eyes:
'Yes, if the two love lasts for a long time, how can they be together day and night? What a reasonable sentence. She and Fang Taozi only met once, but their love has been deeply rooted. And now, she no longer knows what to do.
Although Fang Mingzhu has disappeared, he still misses her. Thinking about it, he is not as good as his third brother. At any rate, although his third brother and Fang Mingzhu have stumbling blocks, they can be regarded as having the same affection. And his feelings are very likely to be a match.
Unrequited love.'
However, Li Chengqi was Li Chengqi after all. He was absent-minded for just a moment, but he immediately cheered up and regained his usual calmness and rationality:
"Third brother, I want to ask you a question. You said that you can't lose her, so in your heart, which one is more important, her or the throne!" This may be a very strange question to ordinary people, but
But Li Longji knew the deep meaning of his elder brother's question - which one is more important, women or the throne? This is a choice that every emperor, those who are preparing to be emperors, and those who want to be emperors must make since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
!
Because in the traditional Chinese concept, the importance of women must be far lower than the throne. Otherwise, women will be a disaster to the country, and the emperor will be a coward!
Li Chengqi and Li Longji undoubtedly grew up with this kind of education, so Li Longji said without hesitation:
"Let's put it this way. The Pearl is very important in my heart. I can't lose her. But if I really lose her, I will not give up the throne. I will still fight for the throne and work hard to be a good emperor. But
, I think, if I really get that time, the only thing left in my world is being a good emperor, and there will be no other happiness and fun."
Li Chengqi understood and felt relieved. He understood his third brother's feelings for Fang Mingzhu and believed that his third brother would always put the country first. This was enough.
"Okay, then let's think about how to rescue Fang Mingzhu. I asked you to wait just now. Actually, I was waiting for news from Wu Sansi. I need to see how Wu Sansi will treat Fang Mingzhu after he takes her away.
Only she can determine Wu Sansi's purpose, otherwise it will be easy to alert the enemy!"
Li Longji also knew that what Li Chengqi said made sense, so he whispered:
"Brother, I'm sorry, I was too impatient."
Li Chengqi's eyes were deep, "It's nothing, we are brothers." Suddenly, Li Chengqi changed the topic and said, "Third brother, do you think it is possible that Wu Sansi has seen through Fang Mingzhu's origins and knows that she is from the Fang family in the Western Regions?
people?"
"This can't be true!" Li Longji said in shock, "About the legend of the Fang family in the Western Regions, the real Li royal family doesn't know much about it. How did Wu Sansi know this?"
"I can't say for sure, but I have a feeling that if Wu Sansi learns the legend about the Fang family in the Western Regions from somewhere, this matter will be in trouble."
At this moment, one of Li Longji's cronies hurried in:
"Two princes, news came back from Wu Sansi's residence just now, saying that Fang Mingzhu has been taken directly into the Wu family's dungeon, and Wu Sansi is interrogating him personally!"
"What!" Li Longji and Li Chengqi shouted at the same time. Even Li Chengqi, who had been silent all the time, changed his expression. Not to mention Li Longji, his face suddenly turned snow white. He wanted to give some order.
But his lips were trembling slightly, but he couldn't make a sound!
