Chapter 295 Eastern Palace (1)
Chapter 295 Eastern Palace (1)
(This time I’m really going to write about The East Palace, folks, I won’t tease you any further)
(I'm thinking about it but I won't write about The East Palace anymore, so I'll keep this story brief. It's OK for Li Chengyin and Xiaofeng to be together, and there's still a trick to win the throne.)
What's worse than being a wolf? Answer: Being a wolf that's constantly having out-of-body experiences.
This is the situation that Shiyi is facing now. It is also the first time that he has encountered such a thing. Shiyi feels that perhaps this is the sin he committed in his previous life. Although he is unwilling to admit what he did in his previous life, if it were not for the sins he committed in his previous life, how could he be so miserable.
While Shiyi was thinking, his soul finally returned to his body. However, looking at the wolf on the ground, Shiyi realized a problem. He seemed to have occupied someone else's body. Seeing the dazed soul beside him, Shiyi tried to return the body to the other party, but failed.
Helpless, Shiyi planned to take his wolf body and leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came into contact with the wolf, he got a large piece of memory. After reading it, Shiyi began to spit on the souls around him: "What a sin!"
His original name was Li Chengyin. He was the fifth prince of Feng Dynasty and the adopted son of the queen. He had a noble status. Although he was very far away from the throne, he was a prince after all and had the status of the queen's adopted son, so he lived a very free life.
Although the queen was very strict with him, she did not treat him harshly. He came to Xizhou with the prince and asked for the princess of Xizhou in marriage for the prince. Then the gears of fate began to turn.
The prince was killed, but Li Chengyin was rescued by the Ninth Princess of Xizhou, where he unexpectedly learned about his own life experience. It turned out that the Queen's family was the murderer of his mother. Driven by hatred, he began to plot revenge on his savior.
However, his calculation method was to deceive the feelings of his savior and design to kill the other party's grandfather, parents and clansmen. This is what Shiyi despised. Compared with his own wolf body, the original owner is the real white-eyed wolf king.
However, from the original body's perspective, it is indeed a very exciting story of power struggle, but it's a pity for the girl. Feeling the original body's regret, Shi Yi decided to prevent this love tragedy. From now on, he, the ungrateful wolf king, is Li Chengyin.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, now that we have killed the White-Eyed Wolf King, let's go back quickly." After Gu Jian caught up, he saw the body of the Wolf King on the ground and urged.
"Okay, let's go." Looking at this man who had always been loyal to the original owner but also let Xiaofeng down, Li Chengyin stuffed a puppet pill into the other's mouth.
"Gu Jian, go to the Fengchao army and find a way to delay their attack."
"Yes, Master"
After Gu Jian left, Li Chengyin also left with the Wolf King's body. He wanted to take the Wolf King to find Xiaofeng's grandfather and marry the girl. It was her destiny to become the Crown Princess of Feng Dynasty. In that case, let him protect her.
When he came to the Danchi King's tent again, Li Chengyin was excited. He was about to marry the girl. Many years had passed since the last time. No, it should be said that many lifetimes had passed. After all, the last time was when he was Wu Dalang and married Pan Jinlian.
Just when everyone was preparing for the wedding of Li Chengyin and the little princess, Li Chengyin approached the Danchi King Tiedaer and said, "I have received reliable information that the Feng Dynasty army has already determined the location of the Danchi King's tent and will attack in a few days."
"Hahaha, Xiaowu, don't worry. How did they get the location of our king's tent? Don't let your imagination run wild."
"It's true, you must believe me, otherwise Xiaofeng will be in danger!" When mentioning Xiaofeng, Tiedal hesitated.
"Are you sure the information you received is reliable?"
“Absolutely true”
With Li Chengyin's tip-off, Tiedal led his people to migrate overnight, and many things were left behind without even having time to be taken away. This allowed the Feng Dynasty soldiers to confirm Li Chengyin's news, and at the same time began to suspect that there was a traitor in the army.
After arriving at the new territory, Tiedal presided over the wedding of Li Chengyin and Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng hugged Li Chengyin and was very happy: "Gu Xiaowu, meeting you is really the luck of my life!"
"Me too, Xiaofeng." Li Chengyin hugged Xiaofeng and felt pain for her. If it were the original owner, at this moment, Xiaofeng would be facing an enemy instead of a lover.
After a night of lovemaking, Li Chengyin had to face the reality that the original owner did not tell Xiaofeng his true identity. Now, how should he tell Xiaofeng about this without hurting her?
Xiao Feng looked at her lover's distressed look and felt distressed: "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Feng, if I lied to you, would you hate me?"
"What did you lie to me about?" Xiao Feng thought her husband was joking with her, and then she said, "As long as your name doesn't lie to me, your experience doesn't lie to me, and your love for me doesn't lie to me, I won't hate you."
But seeing Li Chengyin still hesitant, Xiao Feng's smile disappeared: "So what I said was a lie?"
"I'm sorry, Xiaofeng, I'm not the merchant Gu Xiaowu, I'm Li Chengyin, the fifth prince of Feng Dynasty. But I swear, I love you and I'm not lying to you."
There is nothing that cannot be discussed between a newlywed couple, and Li Chengyin's ability to coax people is first-rate. With just a few words, he made Xiaofeng accept his deception of her.
"Don't you ever lie to me again, otherwise, I will never talk to you again," Xiao Feng leaned in Li Chengyin's arms and threatened fiercely.
"How dare I lie to the princess? I had no choice. I never thought that we would fall in love and get married. At the beginning, I just came to Xizhou to train with my brother and pick up the Crown Princess."
"Are you willing to let me become the Crown Princess now?" Xiao Feng was very curious. At this moment, she didn't know that the Crown Prince she was supposed to marry had died long ago.
"My royal brother was murdered on the way to Xizhou with me." Speaking of the unfortunate prince, Li Chengyin couldn't help feeling sad. The former prince wasn't murdered by someone else, it was obvious that his biological father couldn't tolerate him.
Seeing that Li Chengyin was sad, Xiaofeng quietly accompanied him. At the same time, she also began to worry that if Li Chengyin wanted to go back in the future, her identity would be very embarrassing.
Li Chengyin was also thinking about this issue. If he took Xiaofeng back to Feng Dynasty, the situation would be very bad, and he would be responsible for the death of the former crown prince. But if he did not go back, he had to think of a foolproof plan.
After taking the puppet pill, Gu Jian thrived in the Feng Dynasty's army. With the help of the Gu family's influence, he quickly made a name for himself. At this time, Li Chengyin also thought of a good idea - to use someone else's power to kill him.
Gu Jian plays Li Chengyin and returns to Feng Dynasty, while he goes to Feng Dynasty as Gu Xiaowu to protect "Xiao Feng". Yes, Xiao Feng is of course fake. He has to hide in the dark to win the throne. Only in this way can he protect Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng knew that as the princess of Xizhou, marriage was inevitable for her. She left in anger at first, but now after listening to Li Chengyin's plan, she felt that it would not be a bad thing to follow him to Feng Dynasty.
Just like that, the real and fake prince and the real and fake princess embarked on the road to marriage. Along the way, the poor people made Xiao Feng feel extremely sad. There has never been a moment like this that she understood the suffering of the people.
The same was true for Li Chengyin. Whether it was the people of Feng Dynasty, Danchi, Xizhou, etc., the people everywhere were living in misery. The high officials and nobles were enjoying themselves, while the lower-class people were bleeding.
Li Chengyin looked at the sad Xiaofeng beside him, and suddenly realized that perhaps his becoming Li Chengyin was also a matter of fate. The original owner would have been a good emperor, but the process of his ascension to the throne was too bloody, too cruel, and he paid too much of a price.
Since he has all kinds of pills, it becomes easier for him to seize the throne. Avoiding too much killing is also Li Chengyin's (Shiyi) bottom line. Of course, his bottom line is also very flexible.
The Emperor of Feng Dynasty did not care that his prince had died. In fact, to him, a dead prince was a good prince. He asked the Queen to treat Xiao Feng well and took good care of her. He also called Li Chengyin to his side and asked him a few questions.
Li Chengyin certainly would not say that the prince died at the hands of the Danchi people: "Although they were wearing Danchi costumes, they were not as tall as the Danchi people. Moreover, for some reason, they deliberately avoided me, as if they wanted to keep me to report the news."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest." The emperor waved his hand, and Li Chengyin bowed and left.
"Gao family, huh, do you really think I don't know your plot? It's time to give you a warning."
The crown prince of a country died, and the emperor punished the Gao family by reprimanding the queen. Li Chengyin was extremely disappointed, and the next second, he arrived at the emperor's palace.
"Father, I really can't stand you acting like this. How about I send you off?" A puppet pill was put into the emperor's mouth.
The next day, Li Chengyin became the new crown prince, and Xiaofeng married him as the crown princess. As for etiquette and rules, they all didn't apply. Li Chengyin just wanted Xiaofeng to accompany him well.
The empress was extremely furious because when the emperor conferred the title of crown prince, he also posthumously conferred the title of empress on the deceased concubine. The Gu family was also ordered by the emperor to overturn the case. The emperor completely ignored the idea of balance.
Gao Xian was particularly puzzled. He knew the emperor very well, but he didn't understand the current emperor. He found a few scapegoats to conceal the matter. Gao Xian planned to meet the emperor, at least to find out the truth of the matter.
However, the emperor directly traced the case back to Gao Xian, and dealt with Gao Xian and his followers with a quick and decisive blow. Then he began to teach Li Chengyin how to handle government affairs, as if he really wanted to hand over the throne to Li Chengyin.
As for the others, whoever was dissatisfied would be suppressed. There was no longer the ambiguous attitude towards each son as before. Everyone also recognized the situation and began to honestly serve as Li Chengyin's future assistants.
Li Chengyin's life now is to study with the emperor in court and cultivate his relationship with Xiaofeng after court.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I heard that you have a childhood sweetheart, why don't you let me meet her?" Xiao Feng controlled his attitude, and the nanny behind him nodded vigorously.
"Xiao Feng, listen to my explanation. Things are not as you wrote." Li Chengyin secretly said, "Oh no!" He forgot that the original owner had such a big thunder.
"That's right! She has come to your door. It must be that our Crown Prince is so charming that the girl has disregarded her dignity and come to you," Xiao Feng said unhappily.
"I will go explain to her, but you have to believe me, you are the only one in my heart." This was true. When he first took over this body, Li Chengyin only loved Xiaofeng in his heart.
Although this love is only three-point, Li Chengyin's love also accounts for only three-point, which is all he can give, and Shiyi naturally inherited all this love.
His last name is Li and he doesn't have any great ambitions, so naturally he loves Xiaofeng wholeheartedly. Xiaofeng herself also feels it, otherwise there wouldn't be such a change.
Li Chengyin saw Zhao Sese, who looked at him with eyes full of love: "Your Highness, you haven't seen me since you came back, but I have been worried about you for a long time."
"Sese, listen to me, I..." Li Chengyin didn't know what to say. If he had come earlier, he would have kept his position as the crown prince and then been with Zhao Sese. But when he came, the one Li Chengyin loved was Xiaofeng.
"Your Highness, you don't need to say anything. Before I met you, I still had hope in my heart, but after I met you, it's gone. I guess you only love the Crown Princess now, right?"
Li Chengyin remained silent. He really had nothing to say. At this time, Xiaofeng came.
"Miss Zhao, I can see that you like Xiaowu very much." Xiaofeng looked at Zhao Sese sincerely: "But it doesn't matter. People don't only like one person in their whole life. I used to like my master very much."
Zhao Sese's face changed. Is it possible to say such words? But seeing that Li Chengyin looked normal, she knew that her worries were unnecessary.
"I also thought that I would love my master all my life, marry him and have a few children, but then I met Gu Xiaowu and I fell in love with him," Xiao Feng tried hard to explain her point of view.
Zhao Sese fell silent. Li Chengyin regretted telling Xiaofeng so much at this moment. But then, looking at Zhao Sese's happy expression, Li Chengyin felt that it was also good.
The original owner did something wrong, but now he is Li Chengyin, he does not want to bear the consequences, he just wants to protect Xiaofeng and unify the Feng Dynasty.
Just as Li Chengyin was imagining this, a familiar soul appeared around the two girls. It was the real Li Chengyin. The dull soul had no thoughts and just followed the two girls around.
Li Chengyin felt a little sick, so he captured the other person in his jade pendant, and then tied the jade pendant to the leg of the table, mainly because it would be uncomfortable to hang it on anyone.
Perhaps it was because he was in a familiar environment, and his dull soul gradually regained consciousness and began to become dishonest, but the jade pendant had no legs, so he could only let himself tremble slightly, but no one cared.
Li Chengyin himself had forgotten about the jade pendant until one day when he was returning home from court, the jade pendant fell to the ground and shattered instantly, which caught Li Chengyin's attention.
