Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 25
Under the overturned nest, there are no eggs?Li Huan has been studying books all his life, so he doesn't understand this truth.As Daling's courtier and the official of the people's parents, he certainly understands that he shouldn't take the entrustment of his illiterate mother before her death as a standard.But as a father, he also has selfishness. He doesn't expect a pair of sons and daughters to be glorious, he only hopes that they can live out this life in peace.

However, Xiao Lian's deafening words today made Li Huan have to face his little selfishness again.Maybe he is really old and can't protect Xuan'er anymore, it's time to let him go and chase what he wants.

"That's all." Li Huanchang sighed, "Xuan'er wants to practice martial arts, so let's learn. I have nothing to worry about since you, my brother-in-law, will teach you personally."

Xiao Lian bowed to Li Huan and walked towards Li Xuan's courtyard, followed by Li Ying.

"You have good eloquence." Li Ying was still recalling Xiao Lian's impassioned words just now, "This is the first time I've seen my father let go of my younger brother's martial arts practice when I grow up."

"You will gradually realize that I am not only good at eloquence." Xiao Lian answered this sentence abruptly, and Li Ying froze in place.

God, is this person who opened a dyeing workshop just by giving him some color or "Living Hell" Xiao Lian?I'm afraid no one will believe it!

"Dong dong dong—" Li Xuan was sulking in the room, when he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Zhao Minyi calling him to eat again.

"Don't eat, don't eat, don't eat! How many times have I told you that if you don't agree to my request, I will starve myself to death!" Li Xuan was already so hungry that his chest was stuck to his back, but for the ideal and dignity of a man, he Tolerate!
"Open the door, it's me." A deep male voice came from outside the door.

Li Xuan felt that the voice was very familiar, and when he remembered that it was Xiao Lian's voice, he jumped up from the bed and rushed towards the door.

The door was opened with a "swish", Li Xuan's cheeks were sunken, and his eye circles were also dark, but those eyes burst out with a huge look.

"Brother-in-law, you are finally here!" Li Xuan hugged Xiao Lian with both hands and feet.

"Go down." Xiao Lian's expression showed no joy at all, and he could faintly see a crack under his stern face.He and his wife had never been this close before, yet a little furry boy took advantage of him!

"No, brother-in-law, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I'm here! If you don't come, I will become a starving ghost!"

"You can't starve to death for a day and a night. I'll count to three, if you don't go down again, I won't teach you martial arts.

one--

two--

three. "

When Xiao Lian called three, Li Xuan tactfully got off him.Xiao Lian turned and left. Li Xuan followed closely behind and asked relentlessly, "Brother-in-law, when shall we start? Which move should we start with? I read about the Tathagata Palm in a book, and I really want to learn it." , if you learn it, you will be invincible all over the world, brother-in-law, will you know it?"

"Shut up." Xiao Lian felt that he seemed to have overestimated his patience with a 12-year-old child.

"Brother-in-law, where are we going now? Are we going to a place surrounded by immortal energy, which will help me practice martial arts?"

Xiao Lian stopped, turned around and said to Li Xuan word by word: "Go, use, eat."

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and just when he was about to say that he was not hungry, his stomach let out a rather uncoordinated "gu—" sound.

Li Ying watched from the side, leaning back and forth with a smile.

Li Xuan was in a great mood, knowing that Xiao Lian had persuaded his parents to allow him to practice martial arts, the admiration for Xiao Lian in his heart was like a torrent of water, and Xiao Lian was pestering Xiao Lian to talk non-stop from the beginning to the end of the meal. .

"Brother-in-law, how did you do it? You should have asked me to be there!"

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of my body, am I a seedling of a martial arts genius?"

"Brother-in-law, what is the most powerful enemy you have ever fought on the battlefield? Have you ever been injured?"

"Brother-in-law...brother-in-law...brother-in-law..."

Seeing Xiao Lian's face getting darker and darker, Li Ying almost had a stomachache from holding back her laughter.

After finally finishing his meal, Xiao Lian was pestered by Li Xuan to practice martial arts in the courtyard.

Li Huan went to have a rest, leaving Zhao Minyi, Zhao Minying and Li Ying sitting around talking privately.

"Sister, I heard from my Lord Hou that the eldest prince has returned from Zen meditation at Jueming Temple?"

Zhao Minyi nodded: "There is such a thing. I heard from the master that the eldest prince had just returned to Beijing, and he summoned all the teachers and students of the Imperial Academy to preach and accept his vocation. For new officials like her father, they all met and had a detailed chat. .”

Zhao Minying said enviously: "The eldest prince is kind by nature and likes Buddhism. If he can get his appreciation, my brother-in-law will be able to rise to the top... Hey, Yinger, why do you look so bad?"

Ever since Zhao Minying mentioned that the eldest prince was returning to Beijing just now, Li Ying's face became pale.

All kinds of past life flooded her again, making her unable to breathe.

If Xiao Lian was the "executioner" who killed her family in her previous life, then Xiao Chun was the mastermind behind the order to kill her.If it is said that Xiao Lian still has the emperor's fate, it has to be explained, then Xiao Chun, who ascended the throne and issued the killing order, is the villain who really wanted his family's life.

She was so confused that she almost forgot about this most terrible enemy.But what should she do to prevent Xiao Chun from ascending the throne and prevent her father from being implicated in this innocent disaster?

When Xiao Lian came back from the courtyard, he saw Li Ying's worried expression, which was completely opposite to the energetic appearance when he came in the morning.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lian leaned down, looked at the fine beads of sweat on her face, and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Li Ying suppressed the confusion in his heart and asked, "How did brother learn today?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lian frowned into a "Chuan" word: "I'm impatient, I just want to eat fat in one go!"

Just as he was talking, Li Xuan walked in angrily: "Sister, you judge the reason, brother-in-law made me strut all afternoon, isn't that just fooling me?"

"What is fooling around? This is a basic skill, and it must be practiced well."

"It's too simple, I have to learn something else!"

"Brother." Li Ying's voice had a trace of imperceptible fatigue: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you really want to practice martial arts, you should obediently listen to your brother-in-law. Otherwise, let this matter go. Do you understand?"

As soon as he heard that he was going to give up the martial arts practice that he had fought so hard for, Li Xuan didn't dare to make a mistake, and immediately shut up obediently, and was sent to the horse by Xiao Lian again.

"I'll go and have a few words with daddy, and we'll go back home after we're done."

"Listen to you."

Li Ying walked to Li Huan's study room, Li Huan woke up after a nap, and was looking at a "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" intently.

"Father, since when did you become interested in Buddhism?"

Li Huan raised his head from the back of the book and said with a smile, "Oh, I have nothing to do. It's not bad to study Buddhism."

"Did Xiao Chun send you off?" Li Ying asked straightforwardly.

Li Huan showed surprise: "Ying'er, why are you so ignorant of etiquette and call the First Prince by his first name?"

"Father, he's not a good man, he doesn't deserve to be treated with courtesy."

Li Huan put down his book, frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"

"He..." Li Ying swallowed the words, how could he mention the matter of his previous life to his father?Forget it, I can only talk about dreams.

"My daughter had a dream. She dreamed that he ordered the killing of our whole family after ascending to the throne."

Li Huan turned pale with shock when he heard the words: "Ying'er, do you know what you're talking about!"

"Father, I know, I'm very lucid. Although you can't believe everything in your dreams, what happens? It's better to be prepared than to be caught with a knife."

"Tell me, what is the dream?"

Where did Li Ying really have a dream? She used the memories of her previous life to piece together a few sentences: "Father, I can't remember anything else. I only remember that Xiao Chun formed a party for personal gain and ascended to the throne by dirty means. When he thought that he would be a wise king, he went on a killing spree, killing all the ministers who did not support him at the beginning, and our Li family was among them."

Li Huan couldn't believe it for a while: "I have met the eldest prince, he is obviously a person who is obsessed with Buddhism, how could he..."

"That's just a means for him to pretend. Father, you have been an official for many years, do you really believe that he, as the eldest prince, the person closest to the throne, has no desire for the pinnacle of power?"

Li Ying's words made Li Huan fall into deep thought.It is true that the eldest prince's disposition is somewhat incompatible with the royal family, but that cannot be a reason to deny him.

Li Ying knew that it was impossible for him to convince his father to believe him with a few words, but it didn't matter, as long as he planted this seed of doubt in his heart, sooner or later Xiao Chun would reveal his true colors.

On the carriage back home, Li Ying leaned on the cushion with her eyes closed, looking quite tired.

Xiao Lian hesitated for a long time, and was about to reach out to take her into his arms, when Li Ying suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about going far away?"

Xiao Lian quickly withdrew his hand, but his heart skipped a beat.

What happened to her, something was wrong from the beginning, and now she actually mentioned the one thing that worried him most in his heart - did she still want to leave?

"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Lian asked back.

"I heard that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich in water and grass, the climate in Sichuan is pleasant, and the frontier is even more picturesque. There are so many good places, can't they compare with the capital?" Li Ying opened her eyes and looked straight at Xiao Lian.

Did she mean to go with him?
Xiao Lian thought for a while, then replied cautiously: "If we are not busy with official business, we can go to all the places you mentioned."

"What I'm talking about is not traveling far away, but flying far away, leaving the capital far away, and going wherever we want, we will settle there."

"Why do you think so?"

Li Ying's eyes were shining brightly, he straightened up and approached Xiao Lian, and asked, "What if I said, I have always thought this way?"

If he could leave with Xiao Lian, perhaps the tragedy of his previous life would never happen again.

Xiao Lian was silent.

"I have the emperor's life, I am afraid it will not be as you wish."

Li Ying was discouraged, and leaned back on the soft cushion behind her.

She knew that with Xiao Lian's character, it was impossible for him to abandon the entire court for her.

Hey, she can't just leave, she can only stay in this den of tigers and wolves, and fight wits and courage with the villains.

"Let me ask you again, as your wife, will you trust me unconditionally no matter what happens?"

Xiao Lian thought for a while, then nodded solemnly: "I will."

Now it was Li Ying's turn to be surprised: "Really? But we've only been married for three days."

"It has nothing to do with how long we've been married. When I recognized you as a person, I decided to hand over everything to you. If I can't trust you unconditionally, then what's the point of what we do as a couple?"

Li Ying didn't know that Xiao Lian thought so.

With his words, she gained a little confidence in winning the fight against the villain.

Recalling all the suspicions and misunderstandings she had about him before, Li Ying felt ashamed for a while.

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Lian understood what she was thinking, but he didn't care.Everything he did for her aunt and her brother was done willingly.

"Is it all over with an apology?"

Li Ying glanced at him and said, "What else do you want?"

A smile appeared in the corner of Xiao Lian's eyes, and he said, "Why don't you call me Husband."

　It's boring to code alone, let's chat!
