The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 336

In the big tent, a lamp is like a bean.

Prince Li Ying sat behind the case and wiped the sword in his hand by the faint candlelight. Against the background of the crackling candlelight, the sharp blade gleamed coldly.This is a sharp sword that his biological mother, Concubine Li, found for him from Dengzhou when he was seven years old. Although it cuts iron like mud and cuts hair, it is still not as good as the Qingfeng sword worn by his father since childhood.Today, the father gave the most beloved saber to the eighteenth brother in front of everyone. Does this mean that the father is implying something to the officials?
Putting down the sword in his hand, Li Ying wandered worriedly on the blanket in the tent. He was suspicious again. Ever since his biological mother Concubine Li was bestowed to death by Li Longji, he often had the fear of being deposed, especially his father's favorite After the woman Concubine Wu Hui also had her own son, this fear deepened day by day. He often had nightmares at midnight, seeing the end of being given poisoned wine after being deposed or imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion!Every time he had such a nightmare, he would wake up profusely in sweat, and then he would not be able to sleep for a long time!

In the end, he could only cover up his sharpness, live cautiously, deal with the attacks from Li Linfu and others carefully, and try his best to keep his crown prince.He knew that once he stepped down from the position of crown prince, he might not be able to be an ordinary prince, let alone an ordinary prisoner, and would end up committing suicide.From the fact that he fell off the horse today, you can see the attitude of brothers who don't care about him!

Why bother to be born in the emperor's family?Not only the parents can't trust, even the brothers who support each other hate each other, it's really boring!
Li Ying's mouth was full of bitterness, recalling today's scene, the fifth younger brother Li Yao and the eighth younger Li Ju who are closest to him failed to come to rescue him, and in the end it was the eighteenth younger Li Mao who dismounted to help him. Among all the brothers here, only the eighteenth brother is honest and kind, worthy of making friends!Because of today's incident, Li Ying made up his mind that no matter whether the Eighteenth Brother will compete with him for the throne in the future, if he becomes the emperor in the end, he will definitely not take his life again in order to repay today's kindness.

Sifujian only heard footsteps outside the tent, "Who is outside?" Li Ying frowned and shouted, he had already ordered that no one should be seen tonight, who is so bold to let anyone in?
The curtain of the big tent was raised, and a woman wearing a red cloak came in gracefully. The light was dim, and with her head lowered, Li Ying couldn't see her face clearly, so she asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" How dare you break into the prince's tent late at night?"

"Ying'er, don't be suspicious, it's me!" The visitor made a pleasant voice, Li Ying took a closer look, and it was Concubine Wu Hui who came in!

Chang Xi didn't bring any entourage with her, even Qiongyu and Mei'er were left in her tent by her, and she came to Li Ying's tent quietly by herself.

Seeing that it was Chang Xi, Li Ying hurriedly saluted and said, "I'm here to see Concubine Hui, I don't know what is the purpose of Concubine Hui's visit late at night?"

Chang Xi smiled and said nothing, before the crown prince gave way, she moved lightly with lotus steps, knelt down behind the case, and saw the sword that Li Ying had been wearing on the wooden case, the blade was very clean and sharp.

Li Ying knew that Chang Xi's visit late at night must be something important, seeing her sitting at the desk, she thought she wanted to have a deep talk, so she knelt down silently by the desk, facing Chang Xi, lowered her head, and waited for her to speak first.

Chang Xi took out a long sword from the cloak, placed it on Li Ying's wooden case, and said with a smile: "Your eighteenth brother wants to give you this sword, but I'm too embarrassed to ask, so I ask this palace to give it to you." !"

Li Ying took a closer look and saw that it was the Qingfeng sword that Li Longji gave to the longevity king Li Mao during the day, and in shock, he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "This is given to the eighteenth brother by the emperor, how can I accept it? "

"Since it was given to Mao'er, Mao'er is the owner of this sword. His Majesty can't interfere with whoever he wants to give it to. Besides, Ying'er has always been his beloved second brother. It is a gift for you to give this Qingfeng sword to you." Mao'er did it from the bottom of his heart, please Ying'er don't refuse!" Chang Xi said it humbly and tactfully, but Li Ying blushed and was embarrassed not to accept it, but he didn't understand that this time the emperor bestowed the sword to improve The eighteenth brother's prestige is a perfect opportunity, why does Concubine Hui want to transfer this sword to herself?Isn't this a great opportunity to win over ministers?

Chang Xi seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, but took Li Ying's hand, and said in a daze, "Maybe...without Concubine Li, we would be a good mother and son!"

Li Ying expected that Chang Xi had something to say, but she didn't expect to say such a sentence, and she was also sad, why didn't she think so?Concubine Li's death became the deepest gap between him and Concubine Hui, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't close the gap, they could only look at each other across the river.

"My concubine's care for my children when I was young, I will never forget them!" Li Ying said emotionally, recalling the past when Chang Xi, who was still a maid at the time, often brought some fun things to play in Fanglin Garden with her, I still have the bamboo dragonfly that Chang Xi wove for me, it would be great if time stayed at that time.

Seeing Li Ying tearing up, Chang Xi was also moved in her heart. In fact, judging from her experience of taking care of Li Ying since she was a child, he is a very affectionate child. The throne, after he takes the throne, not only will he not take revenge on Maoer, but he will treat Maoer like his own brother.

"Since Ying'er still remembers the love back then, the concubine mother will stop playing tricks!" Chang Xi said seriously: "Actually, in the concubine mother's heart, there has never been the idea of ​​deposing your crown prince and letting Mao'er take his place!"

Chang Xi's blunt words left Li Ying speechless in shock.

"The reason why you want to use Li Linfu's power to support Mao'er is entirely because you are afraid that you will retaliate against Mao'er after you ascend the throne!" Chang Xi took a deep breath, half-closed his eyes, and said slowly: "After all, your biological mother Concubine Li died because of me. Hand, even if you want to take revenge after ascending the throne, it is a matter of course!"

Li Ying said solemnly: "The emperor gave my mother to die that day, and concubine Huimu rewarded her with a glass of poisoned wine. I have nothing to say, but why did Concubine Hui let my mother die so miserable?" Tears welled up between the words In a blink of an eye, after more than ten years, Li Ying finally spoke out the truth that was suppressed in his heart.He knew that his mother would die, but he deeply resented Chang Xi for using such a cruel method to execute her mother.

Chang Xi also said bluntly: "Because I hate your mother, a glass of poisoned wine can't solve the hatred in my heart! She killed my adoptive mother and two children one after another! Tell me, is a glass of poisoned wine not enough?" Can I settle the resentment in my heart? Can I let Liu Lezheng, Shangxian, and Yier die in peace?" A line of tears fell from Chang Xi's cheeks and dripped on the red carpet at his feet.

Li Ying was taken aback, what Chang Xi said was the truth, he himself knew how many evil things his biological mother had done, if he were to change places, it would be hard for her to die so easily for the enemies who killed many of his relatives of!But even though mother made a big mistake, wouldn't she just take revenge?

Chang Xi seemed to understand Li Ying's mind, and said with a smile: "The enmity between parents is irreconcilable, and it is human nature for Yinger to be unforgettable. The mother and concubine do not blame you! Just please don't implicate your innocent brother, He admires and loves you very much, and as for your mother's vendetta—" Chang Xi paused, "After your father dies, I will kill myself and die, and then you will be considered as revenge for Concubine Li." hatred!"

"This... this!" Li Ying was speechless in astonishment. She didn't know why Chang Xi would do this. You must know that if Chang Xi decided to let the eighteenth brother compete with her for the crown prince, the outcome would be the same. Unexpected numbers!At that time, she will either be given death or be imprisoned, and Concubine Hui will be the empress dowager with a good name, and there is no need to be buried.

Chang Xi smiled lightly, "Of course I know that if I fight with you ruthlessly, I still have a great chance of winning! But I don't want to do that!"

"Why?" Since he wanted to be honest with each other tonight, Li Ying didn't hide anything.

Chang Xi said in a deep voice: "The stability of the position of the crown prince in the past dynasties is a major issue related to the stability of the country! If my palace competes with you, no matter who wins between us, it will pose a big threat to the Tang Dynasty, and it will easily make others Sneaking in. This palace is not talking about righteous empty words, nor is it a saint who wholeheartedly cares about the people of the country. It is just that this palace loves His Majesty and will never let the prosperous Tang Dynasty created by him spend half his life be destroyed. Yinger, you are generous and benevolent, you are deeply loved by the people, and you have been a prince for more than ten years. You are well versed in the way of governing the country. Young, unstable, playful and affectionate, he is not suitable to be a crown prince in any way, let alone continue the prosperity created by His Majesty! Therefore, I will come here tonight to talk to you! Gong has been thinking about the truth for many years!"

Li Ying was very moved when he heard this, although he knew that Concubine Hui loved her father deeply, but he didn't expect her love to be so deep, to the point of giving up the power that was at his fingertips!Immediately she frowned and said, "Isn't Concubine Hui worried that I will suddenly turn my back on the throne and treat you and my eighteenth brother like Empress Lu treated Madam Qi and King Zhao?"

"You are not Empress Lu, you are not as ruthless as her!" Chang Xi smiled and shook her head, "Besides, you and Mao'er have a very good relationship, it's just that my palace is in the middle. I said that if your majesty leaves the palace first , I will never live alone. At that time, whether I will die with poisoned wine or be made into a human pig, as long as I can follow Your Majesty, I don’t care anymore! I believe that after I die, you will treat me kindly and never be with you. You are fighting with Maoer!" Chang Xi bit the words "never compete with you" very hard.

Li Ying finally understood what Chang Xi wanted to express, nodded immediately and said: "Ying'er understands what mother concubine said, if mother concubine doesn't want to dethrone me, I will definitely treat my eighteenth brother kindly after I ascend the throne, and I will never break my promise!"

A knowing smile appeared on Chang Xi's delicate face, "That's it! I swear not to compete with you for the throne. Your majesty passed away. I committed suicide. You are enthroned as emperor. You must treat Mao'er kindly and continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for your majesty." !"

"If you break this oath, heaven and earth will perish, and the gods and gods in all directions will learn from each other!" Li Ying raised his right hand and solemnly swore a poisonous oath.

Chang Xi smiled brightly, "I can trust Ying'er's words!" After saying that, she put the hat behind the cloak on the cloud temples, and walked out of the big tent with her head down.
