Mingzhu fell asleep on the table, while Anle stared at the wine glass in front of him, lost in thought!
Although Mingzhu didn't say much just now, it painted an extremely miserable scene for Anle! Yes, once his father dies and the prince ascends the throne, he will most likely be forced to leave Chang'an and be deported somewhere.
Being in a remote place in a poor country and not being allowed to leave until death! For Princess Anle, who has already enjoyed all the glory and wealth in Chang'an City, this is simply more terrifying than death!
So what is the path that Mingzhu pointed out to her? Encourage the Queen Mother to ascend the throne! If it can really be done, this is a way! But how easy is it for the Queen Mother to ascend the throne? Of course Anle knows her mother's thoughts, and she knows that Queen Wei also has the same intention.
I want to be the queen, but I have not been able to do so for so many years. Although my father is completely obedient to my mother, he has never given in on this matter, and he has never agreed to be canonized as the crown prince.
Just like women! Thinking of this, Anle couldn't help but feel a deep hatred for his father in his heart!
Anle looked at Mingzhu again. It seemed that Mingzhu was still asleep. She patted Mingzhu's shoulder, but it had no effect. Anle had no choice but to call in two maids and told them to find a way to relieve Mingzhu's hangover and wait until she wakes up.
After that, he asked her to come see him immediately. After saying that, Anle walked out without looking back.
Of course Mingzhu was not really drunk, but in order to make Anle believe that she had really made a gaffe while drunk, she had no choice but to continue the drama, so she had no choice but to let the two maids do what they wanted.
After Li Chengqi and Mingzhu separated, he did not leave immediately, but remained hidden in a carriage. It was not until he saw Princess Anle and the others leaving safely that he felt relieved and returned to the palace. As soon as Li Chengqi returned to the palace
, the entourage told him - King Linzi is here!
After Li Chengqi heard the news, he didn't show the slightest surprise. He knew his third brother, so he knew that everything he did with Mingzhu last night had already reached Li Longji's ears.
So when Li Chengqi met Li Longji, he asked very calmly:
"You know everything about yesterday, right?"
Li Longji's face turned slightly red:
"Brother, please believe me, I don't mean to spy on you..."
Li Chengqi waved his hand and interrupted Li Longji:
"Okay, we brothers don't need to explain this to each other. I know that the entire Chang'an City is now under your surveillance. If you miss me alone, it means that your network is not dense enough.
Loophole."
"Thank you, brother." Li Longji said sincerely.
"Thank you for what?" Li Chengqi smiled, "Thank you for trusting you."
Li Longji ignored the ridicule in Li Chengqi's words and replied seriously:
"Indeed, thank you for your trust. When we were young, our eldest brother taught us that if brothers work together, they can defeat gold. This is what eldest brother has truly accomplished."
Li Chengqi sighed softly:
"You did it too. And we must do it, otherwise we will soon become the dead souls of others."
Li Chengqi's words made the two brothers look heavy, and the heaviest thing was Li Chengqi's heart, because Li Longji's words just sounded the alarm for him again, telling him that he should not be hurt because of the pearl no matter what.
The harmony between their brothers.
Li Chengqi sat down:
"What do you want to ask? Just ask?"
"Brother, I didn't mean that..." Li Longji wanted to explain again. To be honest, when he heard that his eldest brother returned to Shouchun County Prince's Mansion with Fang Mingzhu, they had a secret talk for a long time, and then his eldest brother stayed at Fang Mingzhu's house.
After spending the night in the room, Li Longji's heart tightened into a ball, and countless suspicions filled his heart:
'Could it be that the eldest brother and Fang Mingzhu are really old acquaintances? Or, the handsome and impressive eldest brother made Fang Mingzhu fall in love at first sight?' There was even a more terrifying thought in Li Longji's mind, 'Could it be that the Fang family of the Western Region has decided
I have to give up myself and help my eldest brother compete for the throne!' This thought was like a devil's claws, clamping tightly on Li Longji's throat, almost making him unable to breathe.
For many years, brothers Li Chengqi and Li Longji have been working together to regain the throne. However, they have never discussed who will be the emperor after regaining the throne. Even Li Longji has been avoiding this issue.
Problem, because he knew that once the throne was returned, it would be a matter of course for his eldest brother to ascend the throne. He himself had been a prince and the eldest son, and Li Longji knew in his heart that with his eldest brother's ability, he could definitely be called a good emperor. However,
, Li Longji also knew that deep down in his heart, he had always longed for his eldest brother to voluntarily give up the throne, because he also wanted to be emperor! But he never dared to express this idea.
Now, due to Fang Mingzhu's sudden appearance, regaining the throne has become an imminent matter. Who should inherit the throne has become an urgent question.
Because he had so many thoughts buried in his heart, Li Longji couldn't wait to come to see his elder brother early in the morning. But for some reason, when he really saw his elder brother, he couldn't ask anything.
Because Li Chengqi was still so calm and composed, Li Longji felt that compared with his elder brother's magnanimity, his selfish thoughts seemed too dirty.
Li Chengqi looked at Li Longji and smiled knowingly. The smile was infinitely thorough and tolerant:
"Now Fang Mingzhu is related to whether we can successfully regain the throne, so it is normal for you to pay attention to this matter. Sit down and I will tell you what happened last night in detail."
Li Longji's face turned a little red. His eldest brother didn't blame him at all, and even excused him. But the more he did this, the more embarrassed Li Longji felt.
"I did meet Fang Mingzhu once before. It was the day Anle sent people to make trouble at Fang's house and injured Tang Lizi. During the day, Anle's men stopped Fang Mingzhu on the street. Fang Mingzhu was alone at that time. I happened to
When I saw this, I thought Anle was doing evil again, so I rescued Fang Mingzhu. But that time she told me that her name was Fang Taozi, and she was a maid of a wealthy family. I didn't ask any questions at that time. Because it was getting late, I
I left her to stay, but I didn’t expect that before dawn the next day, she would leave the palace through my many guards. At that time, I was mostly curious, because I couldn’t imagine how she broke through the palace.
Be alert. So I also sent people to look for her, but because she is so good at disguising herself, I never found her."
Li Chengqi deliberately did not mention his attraction to Mingzhu. Since he already knew his third brother's thoughts, it was better not to mention some things.
"So that's it." Li Longji nodded.
Li Chengqi continued:
"She explained to me during our reunion this time that it was because the Fang family was attacked in the middle of the night and she got the news that she suddenly returned. Later, the reason why we returned to the palace was because I wanted to know her plan, and only after I
It is safe to speak in the royal palace..."
"Did she tell you her plan?" Li Longji exclaimed.
"I told you."
"What is her plan?" Li Longji asked anxiously.
Li Chengqi shook his head slightly:
"Don't ask about this matter, because it is too dangerous. There are some things that you may still survive if you don't know, but if you know, once you fail, you will have to die."
"But brother..."
"Stop talking, I have already decided that I will cooperate with her plan. This way, if it fails, I will just die and you can continue to live to fulfill our wishes."
When Li Chengqi talked about these matters of life and death, he was very calm, because he had already made up his mind last night. If Mingzhu really encountered something unexpected, he would accompany her to another world.
Li Chengqi said calmly:
"I can only tell you that her plan is very risky, very risky, but it is also very effective."
Li Chengqi breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's basically it. After I returned to Pingkangli, I felt that it would be inconvenient for her to spend the night alone in a brothel, so I stayed with her for a while."
Li Longji thought for a while and asked:
"She didn't say anything about the Fang family in the Western Region?"
"No." Now Li Chengqi knew that Mingzhu actually had nothing to do with the Fang family, but he didn't want to tell this to Li Longji, because Mingzhu told him his origins because he trusted him, and he couldn't betray Mingzhu's trust.
.
"Third brother, I want to talk to you about something today." Li Chengqi suddenly said very seriously.
"What's up?"
"If Fang Mingzhu's plan really succeeds and we get the throne back, then you will inherit the throne."
"Ah!" Li Longji's expression suddenly changed. Although he hoped so in his heart, he did not expect that his eldest brother would suddenly mention this matter.
"Brother, where do we start from? If we really get the throne back, you must inherit the throne..."
"Stop arguing about this matter," Li Chengqi waved his hand again, "I know you will become a good emperor. And I have a more important thing to do."
"What's up?"
"I'll tell you this when the time comes." After Li Chengqi said this, he tightly closed his lips and refused to speak again.
And his heart has already flown to Mingzhu:
'Mingzhu, if we can really survive after experiencing this catastrophe, then I will accompany you back to the world that belongs to you. Although I don't know how I will go, and I don't know what I will do.
Whether I can really go to that world, but I will definitely find a way. Staying with you forever is my biggest wish in this life.'
