Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

At this time, Li Longye, who was having an in-depth discussion with Li Longji about the assassination of Princess Taiping, sneezed violently.

How could he know that in Jiang Feng's eyes, he was not even as good as his lover at this moment.

The two brothers Ji and Ye looked solemn, but Li Longji spoke first: "Brother, why do you have to do this? If he really wants to be the crown prince, how can it be my turn?"

Li Longye said, "The prince had made great contributions at that time and was popular. It was for some reason that eldest brother did not dare to show it. If these people were really sent by eldest brother, then his intention to ask for the throne would be obvious. Third brother should be prepared early."

Li Longji said, "Why are you on guard? My eldest brother is the eldest son. If he wants to be the crown prince, I will give up the throne. Our original intention was to help the country, but we didn't expect that you would be promoted to the crown prince. We had no choice."

Li Longye was slightly stunned. To this day, he no longer believed that Li Longji had no intention of staying in the Eastern Palace.

Thinking about how the brothers used to be so open and honest with each other, he realized that now they have started to speak insincerely.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Longji continued, "You presented the jade seal to my father before, and I never thought that the jade seal was actually presented by Jiang Feng. She protected the jade seal, and later saved Princess Taiping. She dared to call my father 300 years old in the hall. This behavior is really inconsistent with her description of being like a delicate flower..."

Li Longji thought for a while before coming up with the adjective "divided".

Speaking of Jiang Feng, Li Longye's heart inexplicably moved, just like when he was a child and secretly ate a candy and learned a set of kung fu, he was always filled with joy.

Then he said, "I originally thought she was just a pretty girl. Third brother, you don't understand her. She has strange ideas. Now I see myself getting deeper and deeper into trouble, while she is still like an outsider, and I feel very upset."

Li Longji was surprised to find that his brother was trapped in love. He couldn't help laughing and said, "If a woman always appeases and pleases, she will feel boring. If you meet a woman with a temper, you want to tame her. We brothers were born in the imperial family and experienced the superiority that no one else has. No matter what the temperament of the women in the backyard is, they will eventually fight for favor. It is said that people are greedy and want to swallow elephants. Now that I am the prince, I have never tasted the taste of love, which is also a flaw in the ointment. I know how much effort Wulang has put in for that little girl. Now that he has a beautiful woman, he is still so confused and worried about gains and losses. It can be seen that he has moved his true heart."

Li Longye was shocked when he heard what Li Longji said: If a woman always indulges and pleases others, she will feel boring. If you meet a woman with a temper, you want to tame her!

Isn’t he trying to tame Jiang Feng today?

He knew clearly that she didn't like Chu Yan, and that she minded his princess and concubine, but he still forced her to accept it. The reason was that he couldn't bear to see Jiang Feng and Shen Guxing have contact. Another, and most important, reason was that he wanted her to obey and be his princess.

What was he thinking when he fished her out of the Taiye Lake? He thought at that time that as long as she was alive, whether she married Shen Guxing or Gao Hui, he would do everything to make her happy. If she was still willing to give him a chance, whether he asked him to divorce all the concubines in the mansion or to retire to the mountains with her, he would never hesitate.

But what did he do in the end?

In order to make her accept his apology, he took the dagger and stabbed himself.

He said it nicely, I will bear your pain with my own body.

Isn't it just forcing him to force her?

He began to doubt himself. Did he really have to tame her until she was like Hua Zhuang and Chu Yan?

At that time, would he still love her as much as he did now? If she became like everyone else, would he be able to meet another woman like her?

Not anymore.

Not anymore.

Li Longji saw his expression change, but he had no idea that he had already left. Thinking of his cousin whom he had not seen for a long time, he said, "A Fei has a very close relationship with her family. Her old lady, her mother, her sister-in-law, and even her eldest sister, all visit her frequently. But Jiang Feng seems to have never been to the Linzi Palace, let alone the Eastern Palace now."

Li Longye smiled bitterly and said, "She is very afraid of you."

Li Longji's eyes widened: "If I didn't know that she almost drowned Cheng An and killed two evil thieves, I would have almost believed it. With her personality, is there anyone she is afraid of?"

Li Longye thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Brother, have you really never seen her in Liangzhou?"

Li Longji pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "I have never seen it."

Li Longye said: "When Concubine Jiang was in the boudoir, she had many conflicts with Afeng. I thought that was why I was afraid of you. But later, when we were hunting down the chaste Crown Prince Li Chongjun, we ran into her on Mount Zhongnan. She asked me at that time, if my father ascended the throne one day, who should I support as the crown prince, my elder brother or you?"

Li Longji was surprised and said, "How dare you tell her such a confidential matter?"

Li Longye smiled bitterly again: "I didn't say a word, she guessed it. She said at that time, 'The Prince of Shouchun guards the status quo, and the Prince of Linzi opens up new opportunities. Your Majesty, you should stand with the Prince of Linzi."

Li Longye saw that Li Longji was no less surprised than he was at that time, and continued: "She gave me the jade seal on the premise that I want to promote my third brother as the prince!"

Li Longji recalled the two times he met Jiang Feng. She shrank into the crowd, as if she was trying her best to avoid him. Even when he spoke to her alone, she was very cautious and didn't dare to say a word. Even when she was answering his father in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she was not as cautious as she was with him.

Li Longji thought he had hidden his ambitions very well, how could she see through it at a glance!

Li Longji thought deeply again, and said after a long while: "Brother must think that we are trying to seize the jade seal with him, which really wronged me."

Li Longye heard that Li Longji's words seemed to blame Jiang Feng, so he just blamed himself for talking too much and quickly explained: "At that time, the eldest brother must have thought that it was given to me, and he would no longer doubt the third brother."

Li Longji knew that Li Longye had misunderstood him, and he was busy explaining: "This little girl is very cunning, so let's ignore her for now. We must investigate the assassination of the princess as soon as possible. If it is left unsolved, it will be difficult for Princess Taiping to report to the emperor, and it will be bad if there is a rift between us brothers."

Li Longye said respectfully: "Yes."

Li Longji said: "You have been in Liangzhou for a while and you know the situation best, so it would be most appropriate to send you there. But I am worried about alerting the enemy and I am afraid that my aunt will not believe our investigation results. It would be better to send Xue Chongjian and let Wang Maozhong accompany him."

Li Longye also thought it was feasible, and the two brothers began to plan it carefully.
