The princess is above: the power minister's palm favor

Chapter 51

The moon and stars are rare, and the Huguo Temple is quiet and peaceful.

In the small Buddhist hall of the side hall, incense is curling up.

Kneeling in front of the Buddhist hall is a plainly dressed woman with drooping blue hair, sitting on a futon with paper cranes folded.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in and the candle flickered.

Li Huang didn't look up, his hands kept moving, and he said familiarly: "Since you're here, stay with me for a while."

In the dark corner, Mo Jingzhan leaned against the pillar with his sword in his arms, but his gaze fell on Li Huang who was folding the paper crane without blinking.

The two of them turned on and off, the candlelight imprinted on Li Huang's face, illuminating the creases in her eyes.

It's rare to see her like this, desolate like a moon, elegant like snow.

"His Royal Highness is stacking paper cranes here late at night, is he wishing to express his grief and gods and Buddhas?"

"I actually don't believe in gods and Buddhas. It's just that now, apart from gods and Buddhas, I have a lot to say, and I have nowhere to say it."

Li Huang looked lonely, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

If other people saw her, they might mock her for pretending to be pitiful.

But during these days by Li Huang's side, Mo Jingzhan has witnessed her difficulties, and also seen her loneliness.

Mo Jingzhan couldn't help sighing in his heart. After a long while, he raised his head and said helplessly, "Then tonight, I'll take a brief look. Your Highness said it, and I will forget it. How about it?"

Li Huang looked back at the person in the dark in surprise, and said in a hoarse voice: "I had a dream. I dreamed that the great Chu country was destroyed, my father died of illness, the prince was disabled, and all my loved ones abandoned me. Go. The noble princess was imprisoned in the palace by that person and reduced to a plaything."

"His bedroom is so cold, I was trapped there without knowing the years and months, and there was only endless humiliation and torture every day! I was in so much pain, so painful, but no one could save me..."

Mo Jingzhan's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and as if he was afraid of scaring her, he deliberately softened his tone and asked, "Then what happened next?"

"Later..." Li Huang opened his eyes, his eyes were scarlet: "I woke up from the dream, I thought this nightmare was over, but I didn't want... the reality is the nightmare!"

"I realized that I was so insignificant that I couldn't resist the things I knew would happen! I could only watch those accidents happen one by one, and I couldn't do anything except bear it clumsily!"

Thinking of everything that happened during the day, Li Huang felt only panic and fear!
She clearly asked Luo Mingchuan to replace the beam, but why, the beam still hit Li Yuze!

Why, she has tried her best to change the trajectory of fate, but all of this has not changed at all!
Could it be that she can only wait for that day with nothing to do?
Just when Li Huang was at a loss, suddenly, a beam of light lit up above his head.

Li Huang raised her head abruptly, and saw Mo Jingzhan standing beside her, holding the oil lamp above her head. The wick was crackling and sparking, but at the same time, it also illuminated the front.

The soft light shone on half of his face, clearly depicting his stern outline.He turned around and squatted in front of Li Huang, with piety and seriousness in his eyes, he said word by word: "No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you, safe and sound."

"But what if you can't protect me?"

"Then I will risk my life and take you away."

Li Huang's hand holding the paper crane tightened suddenly, almost deforming the paper crane.

Mo Jingzhan took the paper crane in her hand, and said with a smile: "This paper crane is not wrong, His Highness also invites the Buddha to accumulate virtue."

"..."

After saying what she had been holding back for a long time, Li Huang felt much more at ease. She rubbed her sore knees and was about to get up.

But after kneeling in the Buddhist hall for too long today, she just got up, her knees were sore, and she almost fell into Mo Jingzhan's arms.

"Your Highness, stand still."

Mo Jingzhan's voice with a slight laugh came from above his head, Li Huang's ears turned red, and he said angrily, "Then let go."

"Your Highness, are you sure?"

"..." Considering the degree of knee soreness at this moment, Li Huang hesitated, and said helplessly: "I order you to send me back."

"Well," Mo Jingzhan chuckled, and said, "I'll send His Highness back."

Every word of his fell on Li Huang's heart, the shyness and nervousness that he had never felt before facing Gu Chenzhou, all of them surged up at this moment.

Li Huang bit her lip along the way, annoyed at her self-indulgence, and within a few steps, broke away from Mo Jingzhan, even though her knees were sore, she resisted not saying a word, and walked towards the courtyard with her back straight.

It was past time, and the journey back to the courtyard was not short, and Mo Jingzhan did not know where to get the cloak, and as soon as she left the Buddhist hall, she was tightly wrapped by the cloak.

But who would have thought that as soon as he passed Luo Mingchuan's courtyard, he saw two men in black creeping into the courtyard.

Just as Li Huang was about to follow, his wrist was grabbed.

Looking back, facing Mo Jingzhan's disapproving gaze, Li Huang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you stopping me?"

"Doesn't Your Highness want to see what they want to do?"

"But Mingchuan..."

"Mr. Luo is smart, so I think nothing will happen."

Li Huang hesitated.

Although she was indeed worried, what Mo Jingzhan said made sense.

If she rushed in at this moment, wouldn't she startle the snake?

Almost without thinking, Li Huang immediately nodded in response, and then pulled Mo Jingzhan to hide in the dark without making a sound.

"This is the eldest princess?"

"The employer made it very clear that the person who lives here is the current eldest princess, and there is no one else in this yard, so it can't be wrong!"

After the two men in black whispered to each other, taking advantage of the darkness, they carefully knocked Luo Mingchuan unconscious, rolled him up, picked him up and left.

In the dark, seeing this scene, Li Huang was so shocked that she could hardly speak.

"Did they have bad eyesight?"

"Generally speaking, the brains of assassins are not very good."

"Huh? What's the point?"

"If the assassin is too smart, how dare the employer use him with confidence?"

As soon as he finished explaining, Li Huang turned around and looked at him blankly, "But you... are also an assassin."

Mo Jingzhan sprained his foot and almost fell over.

He forgot about it.

Fortunately, Li Huang's attention was on Luo Mingchuan at this time. Seeing that the assassin was carrying Luo Mingchuan on his back and was about to leave, he reminded: "The assassin has already run away, won't His Highness chase him now?"

His words awakened the dreamer.

Only then did Li Huang suddenly come back to her senses, in the blink of an eye, Luo Mingchuan was actually robbed by those two at this moment!
"Come on!"

Before the words fell, the two quickly chased after him.

The next day, the sky was bright, and the courtyard of the eldest princess was silent.

The second princess was unwell, and with the permission of His Royal Highness, she stayed in the courtyard and never went out.

The prince came to Li Huang's courtyard early in the morning, and saw that the courtyard door was closed. Thinking of the unhappiness between the two of them yesterday, Li Yuze turned and went to the Buddhist hall alone.

At noon, when Li Yuze passed by Li Huang's courtyard, he heard that there was still no movement inside.

Until night, when Li Yuze was about to lie down and rest, he heard Li Chuchu knocking on the door: "Brother Prince, it's not good! Something happened to Eldest Princess!"
