Chapter 704: You Don't Belong Here
"But...... My aunt's colt can't die in vain like this, and it's not that he doesn't want to take care of it......"
"He does want to take care of it, but he doesn't want you to take care of it." Wei Youqing whispered in Li Taoyao's ear, he looked around, looked at everything exquisite in this room, and sighed for a long time before saying:
"Tao Yao, do you know how many princes and princesses have died in vain in this splendid palace? What is a princess and a concubine? ”
Li Taoyao was silent, and after a long time, she stood up straight and wiped away her tears. "You're trying to tell me that a princess like me isn't even a concubine, and that's nothing, are you?"
Wei Youqing really had this intention, he wanted to tell Li Taoyao that he was once a son of heaven and a courtier. But Li Taoyao said it so bluntly, and her voice was so calm and waveless, which made Wei Youqing feel distressed.
"You're different, you're no longer here." Wei Youqing comforted, "You are the eldest princess of Kaifu and have your own fief. He laughed, "The most important thing is that you are still Mrs. Jiangnan Hou, and your colt is an immortal with boundless power, not a poor worm hiding under your skirt." ”
Li Taoyao was amused by Wei Youqing and laughed, then sighed softly, and said faintly: "In this case, let's get out of here quickly and leave the place that doesn't belong to us." ”
"Okay, in that case, we'll go back to the princess's mansion tomorrow, and you don't want to go to the funeral later." Wei Youqing stroked Li Taoyao's back, "I'll go and tell Your Majesty that your body has not recovered and you need to recuperate in the mansion." In the future, I will accompany you to live in the princess's mansion, and if you are bored, I will take you out to play. ”
"Funeral ...... Didn't attend? Li Taoyao glanced at Wei Youqing in some surprise and grinned, "How can this be done?" ”
Wei Youqing knew that it had to be like this. In this palace, there are people from Queen Zhao everywhere, and if Li Taoyao delays here, there will be more things like Zhou Yinu.
"What's wrong with that? Your father asked me to take good care of you before he died, and he hoped that you would live well. What would he think if he saw you holding a funeral for him sickly? It's hard to walk away. ”
Before Wei Youqing's words were finished, Li Taoyao was already in tears: "Before my father died, were you in front of you?" Am I absent? ”
Wei Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to mention more about that night, and said casually, "Yes, you are also there." ”
Li Taoyao was about to nod sadly, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her brows furrowed, and she asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that I was injured during the fire in Taihe Palace?" Why am I next to my daddy? ”
Wei Youqing was a little dumbfounded, he didn't want to mention what happened that night, but he also knew that if he didn't solve the doubts in Li Taoyao's heart, when more people like Zhou Yinu came to say irresponsible things to her in the future, she would believe it.
"Tao Yao," Wei Youqing said seriously, "When the Taihe Palace was on fire, you were injured outside the Taihe Palace. When your father died, you were in the Dongming Palace. I'll just explain this time, if you don't believe it, there are people in this palace who want to tell you the answer, will you believe those who have bad intentions? ”
Wei Youqing's words were all true, but he didn't say the details. Therefore, he spoke so righteously that even he himself had forgotten the thrilling events that had happened that night.
Li Taoyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and became a little uneasy about her distrust of Wei Youqing, and explained in a low voice: "Where do I not believe? It's just that I can't think of anything, and I always feel a little scared......"
Wei Youqing smiled pityingly and said, "Don't be afraid, everything has me." Just do what you love. ”
Li Taoyao was a little warmed by Wei Youqing's doting, she glanced at him shyly, and said coquettishly: "Okay, people are sleepy, you can go back quickly." ”
Wei Youqing hugged her again with a bitter face, and said softly in her ear with a bitter face: "I'm looking forward to the three years passing soon." With a mouth, he took Li Taoyao's earrings down and put them in his arms.
Li Taoyao's face was red, and he pushed Wei Youqing to let him go quickly. Seeing that he was still going to tear up, he was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Hurry up, I'm filial piety now, do you want everyone to laugh at me?" ”
Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I'm afraid that everyone is really laughing at themselves behind their backs. How could this happen? Her face was cold, and tears almost fell.
Wei Youqing couldn't imagine that his words just now made Li Taoyao so entangled. He was used to seeing the deviant Li Taoyao after the awakening of the green fox ghost. That Li Taoyao didn't care what others thought of him.
Now Wei Youqing saw Li Taoyao's face turn cold, and she couldn't think of the entanglement in her heart anymore, thinking that she was just trying to get rid of herself, so she had to say goodbye to the beauty and go back to Dongming Palace.
With the regret that he couldn't love, Wei Youqing returned to the side hall arranged for himself in the Dongming Hall unhappily. This is a small courtyard next to the main hall of Dongming Palace, although the courtyard is small, but the flowers, birds, fish and insects are complete, although it is winter, a courtyard gate, there is still the fragrance of grass and trees.
Walking on the brick and stone path, Wei Youqing wanted to go directly to the side room, it was getting late, he was a little depressed, and wanted to sleep well. Just turned around a rockery, and found that there were lights reflected in the main hall inside.
Wei Youqing felt strange in her heart, she didn't know who would be there at such a late hour. He guessed that it might be rice grains, but he didn't bother to take care of it. He was so sleepy, who let this man come to him at this time with such an eyes?
But when Wei Youqing walked to the side, the door of the main hall opened. Little Bean's figure flashed out of it.
"Marquis Wei, please stay!" Xiaodouzi whispered, and walked quickly to Wei Youqing, "Your Majesty is waiting for Master Hou." Then he blocked Wei Youqing's way with his body, but got out of the way and motioned for Wei Youqing to go to the hall.
Wei Youqing was stunned, it turned out that it was Li Chengyu sitting in the hall, not Mi Li'er. He knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and the undoubted appearance of the little bean also made him disgusted.
Wei Youqing thought about it again, Li Taoyao will leave the palace tomorrow and report to Li Chengyu, if you don't return tonight, you will leave with Li Taoyao early tomorrow morning, so you won't have to delay for a long time, something bad will happen.
Wei Youqing walked into the main hall and saw Li Chengyu meditating in front of the desk, practicing the turtle breath gong he had taught before. At this time, Li Chengyu's face was a little haggard and looked a little sluggish.
Seeing this, Wei Youqing felt uncomfortable, and the unhappiness just now disappeared. He knelt next to Li Chengyu, waited for Li Chengyu to open his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty thinks this exercise is good?" ”
"Good." Li Chengyu replied, glancing at Wei Youqing, "Come back so late, can you meet the Praetorian Guards on the way?" ”
