At that moment, Xin Xin stopped struggling, and was a little awkwardly stunned.

Li Chengqian's gaze was like a beam of bright light, seeing through him from the beginning.

"Are you afraid that your father will know about us?" Li Chengqian finally came to his senses.The emotion revealed by Xinxin is indeed fear.His cold hands and bewildered actions all showed the fear in his heart.

Yixin staggered her eyes, trying to avoid Li Chengqian's gaze.But Li Chengqian said stubbornly: "Look at me and tell me, are you afraid?"

Xin Xin is indeed afraid, his current state of mind is that of a tortoise poking its head out of its shell.If no one finds out, everything will be as usual, and even show off the love that only the two of them understand with Li Chengqian in front of others.But once discovered, he would immediately retract his head and hide tightly.When he sticks out his head again next time, he doesn't know what year and month it will be.

If it wasn't for Li Chengqian's sudden words, perhaps he would never have discovered this problem.

"You talk, why do you pretend to be nonchalant every time. Do those little eyes and little movements you show mean what I understand? Why are you so scared, but never tell me? Why do you I'm always the last to know what's in my heart. You will make me feel like a fool."

Li Chengqian was really anxious, and at the same time, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration in his heart.He felt that he was living in a dream woven by Xinxin, and he always thought that he had slowly walked into the heart of the person in front of him, but in fact, there were still too many secrets buried between them.If it is accidentally uncovered, the beauty that has been established in the past will be blown to pieces.

Xinxin silently listened to Li Chengqian's hysterical roar, but suddenly heard a real knock on the door.The guard sent by Li Shimin to protect the son rushed into the room and said loudly: "My son, what are your orders?"

Li Chengqian, who was holding his hands tightly, suddenly felt the person in front of him tremble again, and looked at him with almost pleading eyes.

He yelled at the guard outside the door irritably: "It's okay, step back!"

The guard left, but Li Chengqian's face became even more gloomy.It's just that seeing Xin like this, he couldn't bear to continue to persecute her. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be angry with Xin or with himself.

With a wry smile, she said: "My son...after today, you will be the crown prince..."

Li Chengqian lowered his voice, frowned and said, "So what?"

The expression on Xin Xin's face became softer, as if she had fallen into a kind of beautiful longing: "When you become a prince, you can no longer be self-willed. In the future, you will meet teachers who are highly respected, and you will learn more and more things. When you get older, you still have to learn how to deal with government affairs, your words and deeds are all under the supervision of the people of the world..."

Li Chengqian still held Xinxin's hand, at first he listened very carefully, but later he felt something was wrong.In the satisfactory words, it is all about what will happen to him, but there is not a single bit of content about himself.Just like his future life, he completely cut himself out of Li Chengqian's world.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Chengqian heard Xinxin say: "In the future, you will marry the princess, marry and have children, and the house will be full of children..."

Li Chengqian's face had completely cooled down.Not only his face was cold, but his heart was also cold.These days, he cheered for every bit of initiative he took, and often kept those warm little details in his heart secretly excited for a long time,

In the end, I found out that it was all my own wishful thinking.

The person in front of him may never have thought of being with him for a long time.He was just by his side, by his side, and when the time was right, he would retire and give him up to someone else.

"Do you really... hope this is the case?" Li Chengqian stared into Xin Xin's eyes, "Are you really willing? Just give me up to someone else, and you won't fight for it?"

Yi Xin froze in place, not knowing how to answer.Li Chengqian must have asked for an answer today, but Xinxin didn't want to lie in front of Li Chengqian.

He thinks that he can say a few soft words to Li Chengqian in a flattering manner, and based on his understanding of Li Chengqian's two lives, he is also fully sure that he can coax people over.

But he didn't want to do that, the one standing in front of him was the lover he had kept in his heart for two lifetimes.Of course he wanted to monopolize it, thinking about it like crazy, but he couldn't do anything.

The most sincere love is not necessarily complete possession, but may also be the restraint of gritting teeth.

Yixin didn't want to cheat, but she didn't expect that such a short silence would hasten the collapse of Li Chengqian's psychological defense.

"You...haven't thought about what I really want? Is it that Lao Shizi gets married and has children? Is it lying on the same bed with another woman, but having different dreams every night? Why do you have to be like this? , can't you lie to me?"

Yi Xin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, but after a brief surprise, fell into a longer silence.

The two people in the room fell into a stalemate for a long time like this, and no one spoke out to break the situation first.But in the same way, no one left in anger.

Li Shimin didn't know anything about what happened in Chengqian Palace, and his plan had entered the most critical moment.

In the early morning of this day, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Li Yuanji had already agreed to meet in front of King Qi's Wude Palace, and then they went to the palace to meet Li Yuan together.Regarding today's confrontation in court, neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Yuanji was very nervous. After all, the affair with the concubine was Li Shimin's random nonsense.There were loopholes everywhere in the rhetoric about going to the doctor in a hurry, and when the two confronted each other in front of the emperor, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating.

What's more, today's Chang'an is the sphere of influence of their two brothers.If Li Shimin really wants to make waves in Chang'an, he has to weigh it carefully.

So, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode on the best horses and went leisurely to Xuanwu Gate.Because Li Yuanji's Wude Hall and Li Jiancheng's East Palace are next to each other, and Xuanwu Gate is the closest gate to their residence, so this short road is full of their own guards.

No matter how wary the two brothers are, at least on this road, they are defenseless.But neither of the two thought that something went wrong on such a short circuit that they thought was foolproof.

Li Jiancheng is still very sensitive. During the process of riding a horse, he always feels that something is wrong around him, but if he really wants to say what is wrong, he can't say it.

He reined in the horse's head, turned around and said to Li Yuanji: "Fourth brother, do you feel that there is something wrong with this road?"

Li Yuanji didn't notice anything, he frowned and said: "Brother, you are too sensitive, we are all on this road, even if something goes wrong, it shouldn't happen on this road."

Li Jiancheng looked around, and even rode up to a guard himself, looked at his face carefully, and then said suddenly: "Fourth brother, go, the guards are all faces, there is a problem on this road!"

Just as he was about to pat his horse and turn around, the guards whom he had just recognized all ran over and surrounded them.Immediately afterwards, from nowhere, another group of soldiers burst out, all armed with bows and arrows, and surrounded the two brothers tightly.

Before Li Jiancheng could turn his horse's head around, he heard a familiar voice from behind.That was Li Shimin calling him: "Brother, what happened?"

Li Jiancheng turned his head in a hurry and saw Li Shimin in military uniform and holding a fine bow, obviously he had been prepared for a long time.

Li Jiancheng was really panicked. In his many years as prince, he had never faced such a desperate situation for a moment.

He drew his bow and arrows from one side, trying hard to set them up and point them at Li Shimin.But those hands didn't listen to him, they kept trembling.

The more Li Jiancheng tried to control, the more he lost control. In the end, he patted his hand so hard that it turned red.

At this moment, Li Shimin seemed to appreciate Li Jiancheng's embarrassment enough.He unhurriedly raised the arrow in his hand and aimed it at Li Jiancheng's forehead.

"Shimin... what are you doing? Get down quickly! Climbing trees is too dangerous, what if you fall?"

"Brother, isn't your paper kite hanging on it? I'll get it back for you! Don't worry, wait for me."

"Father, although Shimin is a bit naughty, it's a child's nature. You are being strict with him."

"Hey, big brother, don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all, I have thick skin, I don't take this little injury seriously."

"Shimin, you must be careful when you go to Weibei. Brother will also leave Hedong in the future and go to Weibei to help you."

"Okay, bro, take care!"

"You take care too!"

The previous scenes flashed back in Li Jiancheng's mind.

He and Li Shimin have been two children with very different personalities since they were young.He is quiet and sensible, and the eldest son, Li Yuan always favors him more.Li Shimin, on the other hand, is like a wild child that no one cares about. He has been lively and active since he was a child, and he has done a lot of troubles.After the death of his third son Li Xuanba, Li Yuan gave all his love to Li Yuanji.

When they were all in their hometown in Hedong, the four brothers were still very loving, and they could really be called brothers and friends.But later, Li Shimin joined the army and made military achievements for the Sui Dynasty. Since then, he has been wandering outside and rarely returns home.But Li Jiancheng stayed in Hedong, and the young Li Yuanji was taken care of by him.

Even Li Jiancheng couldn't remember when their brothers turned into monsters with one thing on the outside and another on the back.Even step by step to today, they insist on facing each other with arrows, fighting to the point of life and death.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin with almost compassionate eyes. He didn't beg for mercy. If God destined him to die in Xuanwumen today, then all begging and crying would be meaningless.

He couldn't be more aware of the undying energy in Li Shimin's temperament.
