Chapter 3389: Burning with Jealousy
After hearing Changsun Wen's words, Changsun Chong was immediately stunned.
Is it really possible that Chang Le still has lingering feelings for him? He had almost never thought about this possibility. After all, Changle was so decisive when they reconciled, and he later kidnapped her in Zhongnan Mountain, almost causing her death. As long as you don't hate yourself to the core, how can you still look forward to getting back together with yourself?
However, thinking about it carefully now, with Princess Changle's gentle and virtuous temperament, it seems that it is really possible that she will never forget herself...
He doesn't still have much admiration for Princess Changle now, but the rift between husband and wife caused by his own inhumanity has always been like a thorn in his heart.
Especially since he was regarded as a leader of the younger generation since he was a child, he was eventually abandoned by Princess Changle, causing many children from aristocratic families to laugh at him. He would never forget the humiliation that penetrated his bones.
If this big plan is successful and he can return to Chang'an, and can renew his relationship with Princess Changle and get back together, then it seems that the suffering and humiliation he has suffered over the years can be vented, and he will suddenly be transported back to the early years of Zhenguan. Those days of pride, joy and success.
Changsun Wen saw the change in Changsun Chong's expression, and was obviously touched in his heart. He added more fire and encouraged: "Your Highness is virtuous and reserved, and will not reveal his thoughts to outsiders easily, so the rumors in the public cannot be believed. Brother Ruo still hasn't done anything. Forgetting the love between husband and wife back then, why not find a suitable opportunity to meet His Highness in person and express all the feelings in your heart? If you can get back together, your life will be perfect. Your Highness has no intention of doing so, and you can let go of it completely... My eldest brother may not know that you and His Highness Changle have reconciled, and there are countless people inside and outside Chang'an who are ridiculing and ridiculing them. Now they are all looking forward to marrying His Highness Changle back to the palace, and waging war on the bed, in order to vent the hatred that was suppressed by the elder brother all those years..."
These words were indeed like a handful of kerosene poured on a bonfire, instantly causing the flames in Changsun Chong's heart to rise.
At that time, I was deeply favored by His Majesty Li Er and Empress Wende, and as the eldest son of the Sun family, the first noble eldest son of Zhenguan, I had a noble status, outstanding talent, and a bright future. All the children of the same generation of aristocratic families were not overshadowed by me. , Submissive?
However, after he reconciled with Princess Changle, he fell from the clouds into the mud.
Just as Changsun Wen said, if he allowed other men to marry Changle back and be humiliated by fighting day and night, how would he be able to see others?
You must know that she was traumatized as a young girl and was inhumane. Although she has been married for many years, Changle is still a pure and innocent girl.
If Chang Le's innocence is tainted by another man, and if it is discovered that Chang Le is still a perfect virgin, then his eldest son, Sun Chong, will be ridiculed and humiliated by all the men of the Tang Dynasty...
How can he survive?
Although he can't do things that only men can do, he is still a man after all!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Chong nodded and said: "Brother, I have my own concerns about this matter. You don't need to say anything more. Just go down first. Brother, I want to take a rest."
"Here."
Changsun Wen didn't dare to say more. It was best to stop in moderation. Talking too much might be counterproductive, so he stood up, saluted, and left.
Changsun Chong was sitting alone in the house, with the cold wind blowing outside the window. Drinking cup after cup of tea could not calm his irritable mood, and he only felt upset.
In the past, he felt that he hated Princess Changle. It was Princess Changle who made him lose his dignity and self-confidence as a man. Every time he faced that beautiful face, that pair of gentle and beautiful eyes, and looked at that virtuous and gentle woman. Wan's temperament seemed like he was not worthy of her at all. The pride of being a man was gone, leaving only endless inferiority and humiliation.
But now, he suddenly understood that even if he hated Chang Le and no longer wanted to see her, he could not let her fall into the arms of another man.
Just think about when Changle had just accepted a man's insults on the bed, and then lay panting in the arms of another man, talking tenderly and charmingly about his ex-husband's incompetence and humbleness... Changsun Chong felt that he Be crazy.
And can he reunite with Princess Changle and get back on good terms?
In the past, he thought that was absolutely impossible. The relationship between the two was almost life-and-death, and there was no possibility of reconciliation. However, after listening to Changsun Wen's words just now, Changsun Chong felt that he was probably the one who got the short end of the stick in the past. In the end, Changle was sincere to him back then, but it was only after various estrangements arose that he reached the point of no return. .
Changsun Wen can only tell the truth, or is what he said right?
In short, in order to maintain his dignity as a man, he must not allow Princess Changle to marry another person. He must either keep his head down and make a small show of love to get her back, or destroy her completely.
It's not that he's cruel, it's that he can't tolerate those humiliating situations...
After making up his mind, the worries that had been bothering him for a long time actually eased slightly. He ordered the soldiers outside to call the eighth eldest son, Sun Xu, over.
Changsun Xu is only fifteen years old this year. When Changsun Chong committed the crime of treason and fled to Chang'an, he was still ignorant, so he was not close to his eldest brother. This time Chang Sun Chong sneaked back to Chang'an. Although several brothers in the family knew about it, they were ordered not to reveal even a single word. This made Chang Sun Xin both respectful and fearful of this mysterious eldest brother.
This time, Chang Sun Chong sent someone to call him. Chang Sun Xu thought he had made a mistake. He walked in the door with trepidation and said cautiously: "I don't know what your instructions are when you summon my little brother?"
Changsun Chong frowned and looked at this trembling brother, and said dissatisfied: "A man of seven feet, who stands tall and proud of himself, can be so submissive, how can he have any future? Stand tall!"
"Here!"
Chang Sunxu was so frightened that his little face turned pale. He quickly raised his chest and raised his head, but his eyes wandered left and right, not daring to look at Changsun Chong.
Changsun Chong had no choice but to teach him a lesson: "You and I are from the same mother and we are closer than other brothers. From now on, I will study hard, work hard, and help my brother a lot, remember?"
"Here!"
Changsun Xun didn't dare to say anything more. Anyway, no matter what Changsun Chong said, he always agreed.
Changsun Chong was speechless. This child was smart, lively and cute when he was young. How come he has become so dull and timid now?
When Fang Jun was this age, he had already caused chaos in Chang'an City...
After all, he is the younger brother of his own mother. Changsun Chong tried his best to be kind and said gently: "I called you here because I have something I want you to do."
The eldest son, Sun Xun, said: "Brother, no matter what you tell me, my little brother will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Changsun Chong: "..."
How come it makes it seem like you could lose your life at any time on the battlefield?
Feeling helpless, this child was probably too strict in his discipline and was a little pedantic, so he had to say: "It's not that serious. I just want you to go to Zhongnan Mountain in your spare time, go around the Taoist temple where Princess Changle practices Taoism, and see Changle The princess is usually in the Taoist temple at any time, and there are some people who go there frequently, so just report back at any time.”
Hearing that it was so simple, Changsun Xun breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely get it done!"
Suddenly he realized that his brother had been divorced from Princess Changle for several years, so why did he still pay attention to her whereabouts? Thinking back to the time when this brother sneaked back to Chang'an, held Princess Changle hostage, and almost killed her, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
Could it be that the brother is still evil and did not kill Princess Changle last time, but this time he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to plan a big event and kill Princess Changle again?
He was frightened in his heart, but he tried his best to maintain it on his face and did not dare to show it.
Changsun Chong nodded and said: "Okay, go and withdraw some money from the account, and bring a few close friends with you, and go and do things quickly."
"Here!"
Chang Sunxu agreed, looked up, and found that his brother had closed his eyes slightly, so he quickly and tiptoed out of the room.
When he got outside, the cool air cheered him up, and he cursed a few times in his mind.
Mother!
That's Princess Changle! His Majesty's most beloved daughter, even the prince respects and cares for her. If it hurts her life, the royal family will definitely not let it go!
I remember that when I was a child, my eldest brother was the shrewdest. Many times it was clear that he was the cause of the trouble, but in the end he could blame it on the second and third brothers, causing his father to punish him and the brothers to complain a lot.
This time, the eldest brother asked me to handle the matter. If Princess Changle is killed successfully, once the royal family investigates, the eldest brother will not be able to cover up, and he will be thrown out to take the blame...
What should I do? (End of chapter)
