After saying these words, Li Chengqian stopped talking to Li Ke.
He walked straight out of the hall without even looking back.
And after he left.
Li Ke was the only one left in the room.
First, he looked at Li Chengqian's leaving figure in trance.
After Li Chengqian completely disappeared, he looked up at the beams again in trance.
…….??.
the other side.
Li Lizhi also walked out of Changsun Pingting's courtyard.
She was also walking in the corridor with a sad face.
Today, she found that her eldest grandson Pingting had lost weight again.
What really frightened her was not Changsun Pingting's increasingly thin cheeks, but her mental state.
It's almost like a flower that may wither at any time.
But how old is she?
At best, he is only a little older than Li Lizhi.
But now she is like a haggard tree, like a waning old man, as if she might fall down at any time.
Be it as a relative or as a friend.
Li Lizhi really felt sorry for her and really wanted to do something for her.
After all, everything about her was ruined by the royal family.
If the royal family doesn't stand up to take care of her now, it will really become the ruthless emperor's family since ancient times.
Seeing Li Lizhi's worried look, the maid next to her also spoke to comfort her: "Princess, you don't have to worry too much."
"His Royal Highness is kind, and he will definitely not let it go."
Hearing this, Li Lizhi also sighed.
"I also know that the eldest brother will not let it go."
"But what I'm really worried about is my Third Emperor brother. He's really stubborn."
"If he doesn't want to do something, it's hard for anyone to change it, not even my father or my eldest brother."
The little maid pursed her lips.
"Actually, Your Highness the Princess is still too serious."
"After all, there is more than just a man named King Shu in this world."
The little maid said: "If it is a princess Your Highness really wants the eldest lady to come out, all you need to do is find another husband for her."
But before she could finish her words, Li Lizhi stopped and turned around to look straight at her.
Seeing Li Lizhi looking like this, the little maid was also shocked.
She knelt on the ground and said with fear on her face: "This slave is too talkative. Please punish me, Princess..."
"well……"
Li Lizhi sighed and pulled the little maid up.
As she walked forward, she said: "What you think is simple."
"But you have to know that the person who reconciled with her is my Third Emperor Brother, the current Prince of Shu."
"Even if the royal family doesn't speak, even if the royal family turns a blind eye."
"But as the saying goes, people's words can be feared. When rumors spread all over the world, how many people can stand alone?"
"Although Pingting is extremely prominent regardless of her body and appearance, her family status is extremely prominent."
"But how many people dare to bet with their lives that the royal family will not kill people just for rumors?"
"Moreover..."
Li Lizhi stopped, looked back at Changsun Pingting's small courtyard, and said, "She also doesn't want to get married."
Changsun Pingting was Changsun Wuji's favorite daughter, and she was also Changsun Chong's favorite sister.
How could they sit back and watch their eldest grandson Pingting suffer?
Previously, Changsun Wuji had discussed with Changsun Chong to choose another husband for Changsun Pingting.
Either the eldest grandson Pingting pushed her away because of her illness, or she ran away from home, or threatened to die.
Others may not know, but how could Li Lizhi not know what Changsun Pingting was doing?
She would rather die alone and sacrifice herself than let the eldest grandson's family offend the royal family because of her affairs.
It was precisely because of this that Li Lizhi ran to Li Chengqian for help.
But now, she has done everything she can do.
As for whether it will work out in the end, it all depends on God's face.
Li Lizhi looked at the small courtyard of her eldest grandson Pingting and murmured: "I hope God can have mercy on this poor girl..."
Although she is a princess, although she is Li Chengqian's favorite sister and Li Shimin's most beloved daughter.
But she also knew that there was very little she could do about it.
…
Night time.
The eldest grandson Pingting, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have dreamed of something, and the expression on her face changed from soothing to ferocious.
In the end, she was awakened directly by the horrific scenes in her dream.
Sitting on the bed, Changsun Pingting breathed heavily.
It was only when she saw the candlelight still glowing on the table that she slowly woke up from the fright and realized that what just happened was just a dream.
After exhaling a long breath, sleep also followed.
She turned to look out the window and found that it was already raining lightly outside.
The falling raindrops make this hot summer day a little cooler.
Changsun Pingting slowly got up from the bed, came to the window, opened the window, and looked out the window quietly.
While looking at the rain curtain, Li Lizhi and everything she said during the day entered her mind involuntarily.
Does she still love him?
Does she still have him in her heart?
Li Lizhi's questions were like hammers hitting her heart.
Asking herself, she does still have Li Ke in her heart.
And the man who hurt her the most and harmed her the most.
However, she also knew that there was no possibility or possibility of any relationship between them.
As Li Chengqian said, this matter involves too much, involves too many people, and involves too many interests.
The relationship between Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong, the relationship between Li Lizhi and Changsun Chong, the relationship between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, and the relationship between the royal family and Changsun's family are basically included.
One can't handle it well , that is the end of the world.
Therefore, sacrificing her eldest grandson Pingting is the best choice for both the eldest grandson's family and the royal family.
And she is willing to sacrifice for this, willing to trade her own life for the continued glory of her family.
"well……"
Changsun Pingting exhaled a long breath.
Then, he had to reach out and close the window.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly stood up from under the window.
The sudden scene frightened Changsun Pingting and she took two steps back.
And just when she was about to fall, the figure outside the window had already entered the house and supported her to save her from the pain of her skin and flesh.
It was also at this time that Changsun Pingting saw the other party's appearance clearly through the dim candlelight in the room.
If this person is not Li Ke, who else could he be?
And in the night, the two of them looked at each other, their expressions a little embarrassed.
Li Ke took back his hand first, feeling embarrassed and at a loss.
This is even more true for Changsun Pingting.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should scream and call the people over, or whether she should keep quiet and try to spend more time with the people in front of her.
I don't know how long it took before Changsun Pingting raised her head and looked at Li Ke.
At this time, Li Ke's hair and clothes were soaked, and his whole body was wet.
Looking at his appearance, it is not difficult to guess that he has been standing in the rain for a long time.
However, Changsun Pingting had no reaction to this.
At this moment, she took a step back, bowed to Li Ke respectfully, and said: "Daughter of the people, see you, Your Highness the King of Shu."
The cold voice of His Highness the King of Shu made Li Ke's body suddenly tremble.
His cheeks trembled stiffly, and then he said: "Do you and I still need such a blunt title?"
The eldest grandson Pingting lowered her head and said: "You are a prince and I am a commoner. You have a noble status and I have a humble status. Naturally, I have to respect you more..."
