Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 80 Is she overthinking?

Li Shan was silent, lost in thought, and after a while he said:
"You are right. In fact, when my father said that he wanted to go on a personal expedition, I was very nervous. I was afraid that I would not be able to do my job properly and would disappoint him and the ministers.

At this time, I don't want to do it anymore, but if I don't do it... no matter which brother is the new one, in order to maintain the stability of the imperial power, we, the direct descendants, will not survive. "

Li Shan paused and said tiredly:

"I don't want to fight or fight, but I don't want to die either. Now I am put in this position, either I will die or I will just sit there..."

Wu Rou squinted her eyes and looked at him on the other side of the swing. She still had enviable black hair and calm eyes. She was sitting there casually, exuding a peaceful, tolerant and uncontested fairy spirit. .

If he were to become a Taoist priest, he would definitely attain Taoism and become an immortal, but as a prince in the human world, he was out of place.

Wu Rou complained in her heart, she was really starving to death, she was starving to death, what if our lives could be exchanged?
With a personality like his, if he is a talented person, he can work peacefully. If he goes to guard the mausoleum or become a nun, he will definitely not have any complaints and he will be as comfortable as a fish in water.

And if a person like me were a prince, I would definitely be full of fighting spirit. I would be so excited that I couldn’t sleep every day, looking forward to opening my eyes.

"Hey..." Wu Rou sighed after thinking about this, full of helplessness.

Li Shan turned his face slightly and looked at her from the corner of his eyes, very suspicious. He felt that she must have made a lot of slanders in her heart, and it was also very disrespectful. Otherwise, she would have said it out according to her character and courage. Can't just hold in a sigh.

"What's wrong? Tell me." Li Shan was very curious, "I forgive you."

"You can't forgive me." Wu Rou said immediately.

When Li Shan heard this, his clear and peaceful eyebrows flashed with a hint of fog, and he said:
"Then I'm even more curious. How rebellious are you?"

His voice was gentle, revealing a soothing laziness, and had a lingering sound like vibrating strings, making her heart feel like a layer of sand.

Wu Rou looked at his face with serious eyes, her will was unsteady again, so she thought about it and picked out two glass beads from the glass box she was holding.

The two people looked at Liuli Zhuzi, their expressions darkened for a moment, tinged with sadness because of the flashing memories.

Wu Rou pressed the blue glass bead onto the grass and said:
"Is this you."

Then he placed the red one next to himself and said:

"this is me."

She leaned forward, grabbed the two glass balls, changed their positions boldly, pointed at them and said:
"That's great, no one has to worry about it."

Li Shan looked at the two glazed beads on the grass, his eyes flashed, and he thought for a while before he understood what she meant.

He slowly raised his eyes, scanning her eyebrows with watery eyes, as if he knew her for the first time, and said in wonder:

"Do you really dare to think... are all the rules and regulations in this world just decorations in your heart?"

Wu Rou didn't look at him, picked up the two glazed balls, put them in the box and hugged them, saying shamelessly:
"I didn't say anything. What His Highness the Crown Prince understood may not necessarily be what I really meant."

"Heh." Li Shan snorted without meaning, stared at her profile for a while, and then looked away.

The two of them are now a prince and the other is a female official who is assigned to serve His Majesty. Although they often see each other, there are very few opportunities to sit together quietly and chat like before.

It’s not like before when Princess Jinyang was here.

Without Princess Jinyang, the atmosphere seemed to have become awkward. After a few words, nothing happened.

Li Shan felt that he was greedy for such an opportunity and felt uncomfortable all over.

Before leaving, he hesitated sideways, staring at the glazed box in Wu Rou's arms. It took a long time before he said:
"Give me one, okay?"

Wu Rou followed his gaze and looked at her box and said, "Of course...Which one does Your Highness want?"

Li Shan opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say it casually, but before he spoke, he changed his mind and said:

"The red one."

There are many kinds of red, including light red, black red, and colorful red. Each glass bead has a painting inside, and no one is the same.Wu Rou pointed to the box and asked:
"this?"

Li Shan didn't say anything, but Wu Rou stepped forward, held the box in front of his eyes, and said:

"You choose."

Li Shan didn't even raise her eyebrows, and casually picked up the red bead that Wu Rou had placed on the ground to represent her.

He seemed to be afraid that Wu Rou would misunderstand, so he held up the beads and said:
"You are my potential enemy, I will take it back to warn myself."

After saying that, he realized in Wu Rou's surprised eyes that he had done something unnecessary. It turned out that she didn't even realize which one he was holding.

Instantly his cheeks turned red, he grabbed the beads, pretended to be calm and turned around to leave.

Wu Rou looked at his back and froze on the spot. After a while, she persuaded herself in her heart that she was overthinking it, right?

how can that be possible?
……

……

That night, Li Shan had a dream, which was confusing and quite lengthy.

One moment, the courtiers were quarreling in the court, another moment, his father was testing his lessons, and the next moment, he, Princess Jinyang and Wu Rou were talking and playing with glass beads.

The last dream was when Wu Rou told him: You have no enemies now because His Majesty is blocking you from the front. Sooner or later you have to face it by yourself. Then he saw her changing positions with two glazed balls.

Then the scene changed, and his eyes were covered by Wu Rou. As soon as he blinked, he could feel his eyelashes scraping against the palm of her hand, and the bridge of his nose touching her skin, a thin and soft touch.

As soon as she moved her hand away, there was the black cat Bell he raised on the ground, as well as the long sword that was submerged in the ground and penetrated its neck.

The feeling that is more vivid than heartache and sadness is - cruelty.Vomit-inducing.

Li Shan woke up suddenly. After opening his eyes, he looked at the top of the bed tent above his head. He calmed down for a while and then slowly sat up.

It was still dark outside, and his temples were pounding. This dream was more tiring than not sleeping at all.

Fortunately, he didn't have to go to court today, otherwise he would have been discussed by the courtiers again if he had stood there all morning despite his fatigue.

He sat for a while, got up and got out of bed, casually took the glass ball placed on the table in his hand, caressed it unconsciously, and just stood in the darkness, in a daze.

The screen with the mountains and rivers blocked half of his body. The palace lanterns guarding the palace lanterns outside the compartment had a faint light coming through, which just happened to shine on his hands. The glazed beads had some reflections, and the red inside looked like Blood generally flows.

He is really not a qualified candidate for the crown prince. How can an emperor hate the power of life and death in his hands and cannot lift the sword of killing?

He can be kind, but he cannot be cruel.

But now he is put in this position.Since you have become a prince, you must try your best to do it well whether you like it or not. This is what a mature and rational person should do.

So, how can we make up for this shortcoming of our own?
Li Shan looked at the bright red flowing inside the glass beads, frowned slightly in disgust, and fell into deep thought...
