Chapter 98 Why not?
Li Qun got the emperor's order and heard about Cui Xiu's behavior in the Queen Mother's Palace. He felt that all his worries about Cui Xiu were in vain.
When night fell, the beauty in Chuxiu Palace was leaning on a soft couch, covered with a thin cool quilt. There was a hint of sleepiness in her eyes. Cui Xiu slowly raised her hand and yawned.
Just when Cui Xiu was about to stop yawning, a gust of wind blew, the window rolled over, and Li Qun in night clothes appeared in front of her.
“Here you come? It’s a bit late today.”
"If you had been a little later, I would have fallen asleep."
Cui Xiu expressed her thoughts naturally. She and Li Qun were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to practice some etiquette when meeting in private.
When Li Qun heard what Cui Xiu said, he walked to the seat next to Cui Xiu and sat down. There was a small square table between them. Li Qun was not polite and poured himself a glass. He took a sip of tea and said, "I was delayed in solving some small matters."
"On the way here, I was treated as an assassin and chased all the way."
Li Qun said it calmly and felt As if talking about a trivial matter, Cui Xiu heard Li Qun say "being treated as an assassin", and the sleepiness on her face dissipated a bit, revealing an expression of interest.
"Then how did you deal with it? Kill him?"
"Is your action okay?"
Cui Xiu knew that Li Qun had been on the battlefield all year round. In addition to having the wit to lead troops in war, Cui Xiu knew that Li Qun had been on the battlefield all year round. , at the same time, he also has superb martial arts skills. Compared with other generals, Li Qun also has some medical skills, so he can be said to be an all-round talent.
"In the eyes of the empress, Wei Chen is such a cruel person?"
When Li Qun heard Cui Xiu's words, the expression on his face was more or less "a little disappointed", this expression reflected After finding Cui Xiu's eyes, she followed them and looked at them twice.
Cui Xiu saw that Li Qun's expression was indeed a little depressed, and he wondered when did Li Qun become so "weak".
Cui Xiu's eyes moved to Li Qun's slender hands with distinct joints, and he thought in his heart that Li Qun's hands were stained with blood. Anyone who could come back alive from the battlefield would inevitably kill someone. .
“It’s not cruel, just a reasonable speculation.”
“After all, Mr. Xu Guogong once single-handedly killed an enemy general on the battlefield.”
“If I hadn’t If you remember correctly, you will be called ‘Iron-faced Yama’.”
As Cui Xiu spoke, his eyes subconsciously curved, and he looked at Li Qun with more or less interest. After hearing Cui Xiu's words, Li Qun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It is true."
"I didn't expect that the empress is quite familiar with Wei Chen's affairs."
Cui Xiu listened to what Li Qun said. I just feel that Li Qun is a little strange today. Didn't he say before that he would draw a clear line and only talk about business matters and not talk about personal affairs between his children?
Why did the words sound wrong today? Cui Xiu only felt that there was something wrong with Li Qun in front of him.
Could it be that you came here after drinking? It was still a shock.
Cui Xiu thought, since you, Li Qun, have spoken, she should play with him.
Cui Xiu still has a certain sense of freshness about Li Qun in her heart. At least in her eyes, Li Qun is much better than the emperor's Lao Deng.
Cui Xiu felt in her heart that it was not easy to be reborn. In addition to changing the tragic ending of her previous life, what she also had to do was experience a limited life.
“You and I are allies, and we almost became husband and wife.”
"I naturally want to know more about you."
As soon as Cui Xiu said these words, Li Qun's eyes were attracted. Li Qun narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He was thinking about how many secrets she had that he didn't know.
"Yes."
"The meaning of what the empress said is a bit hazy."
"I wonder if it is what Wei Chen meant."
< br>
Li Qun followed Cui Xiu's words. He had tried to hold back the fire in his heart thousands of times, but now, with these things in front of him, he couldn't feel calm at that time.
What happened back then, if the emperor hadn't taken the lead, how could he and Cui Xiu have missed it. Li Qun claimed that he was worthy of Li Xiuhuai. He was out fighting to consolidate the power of the Li family and almost lost his life. However, Li Xiuhuai, as his good brother, took advantage of his absence to marry his unmarried wife.
It’s not that Li Xiuhuai didn’t know about him and Cui Xiu.
But Li Xiuhuai still attacked Cui Xiu.
Cui Xiu became the prince's concubine.
The crown prince’s concubine.
Li Qun knew all this, and he had mixed feelings in his heart at the time. He wished he could lead his army back to Kyoto City, and kick both the old emperor and Li Xiuhuai from the throne. Emperor or whatever, whoever came. Can.
But after thinking about this, Li Qun saw the thousands of people displaced by the war. They were all innocent. If it hadn't been for the war, they could have lived a good life in their hometown.
But when the war came, they had to leave their homes and became unwelcome refugees.
The war will be over at that time. If he leads the army back to Kyoto City, a new war will begin again. Just because of their children's affair, those people will be plunged into war again.
Li Qun couldn't bear it.
So he didn’t do anything. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do it, but that he couldn’t do it.
He finished all the battles he had to fight and came back, but the person who greeted him was missing the person he had been waiting for for a long time.
At that time, Li Qun knew that no matter how well he fought and won the battle, Cui Xiu could not justifiably wait at the city gate for his return.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What am I thinking about."
"If I say that I want to renew my relationship with Xu Guogong."
“Does Duke Xu Guo believe it?”
“Or.”
A faint smile appeared on Cui Xiu's face as she spoke. Her eyebrows were picturesque, and the evening breeze blowing in from the window caressed her silk hair. She was still so charming.
"Li Qun, do you dare?"
This "Do you dare" is what Cui Xiu really wants to ask. She knows that Li Qun has never been a shrinking person. He often has enough courage to fight for everything he wants.
Cui Xiu feels that she and Li Qun agree on this point.
Cui Xiu felt that there was no need for him to protect himself for the emperor. After all, the emperor was not a clean person. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and he was afraid that he would not be able to favor her.
Cui Xiu feels that it is better for people to do whatever they want. A day of depression is a day, and a day of happiness is a day. Rather than swallowing your anger every day, it is better to be free and happy.
She just likes Li Qun, but she is obsessed with him, so what?
Li Qun heard Cui Xiu's words clearly, and his eyes were a little dazed. Such words would often make him doubt whether he was dreaming.
But this dream is so real.
“Why not?”
Li Qun's words came out without any hesitation, like a taboo that had been broken by a person who had been abstinent for many years, breaking the taboo through repeated struggles, testing back and forth on the edge of the bottom line.
There is no taboo between them, and everything is normal between them.
Since others are unkind, why should they guard the benevolence and righteousness in their hearts for this unkind person?
Quality always needs to be adjusted appropriately according to the people you meet.
