Li Qingyi could hear the deep pain in Princess Yuanheng's tone.
It turns out that her marriage to her father was not as simple as the rumors said.
"My mother was willing to help even when the emperor was furious. My grandparents and father must be grateful for this kindness."
"Yes, I know all this. Your father agreed to this marriage because he was grateful to me."
Li Qingyi saw the deep self-deprecation on her face and couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
"Your father has never mentioned my relationship with the Yu family to your grandparents. They believed what I said to the Queen Mother, and thought that I fell in love with your father at first sight, and your father passively accepted the marriage out of kindness, so of course they would They were worried that your father and I wouldn't get along well, after all, I have a reputation for being willful and domineering. But they were wrong. The two of us got along very peacefully, and it didn't take long for us to have you."
Li Qingyi held his breath, "Father was injured after that?"
The tears that Princess Yuanheng had been holding back for a long time finally fell, "I thought that with you, there would be an unbreakable relationship between me and him. Even if he is only grateful to me, I would be happy with it. After all, there is no love in this world." It is rare for people to get married eventually. However, God’s malice always comes when you are caught off guard..."
The autumn rain fell outside at some point, and the lights in the corridor, which were disrupted by the wind and rain, flickered on and off. Princess Yuanheng raised her head, her figure blurred in the shadow of the lights, filled with sadness.
Li Zhi injured his waist and couldn't move. He still felt slight pain in his left leg. His right leg had completely lost all feeling. He could only lie down on the couch and couldn't go anywhere. He lay in the room and stared at Li Zhi every day. He stood on the top of the tent without saying a word.
Mr. Li couldn't bear the blow and fell ill.
The old lady could only hold on and invited several famous doctors to diagnose and treat her son, but with little success.
Princess Yuanheng asked the doctor whether Li Zhi's waist injury could be recovered. The doctor looked at her with pity and gave an ambiguous answer: Maybe.
Princess Yuanheng's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
The doctor thought for a while, pointed out a few crucial acupuncture points to her, and said, "If you keep pressing these points every day, maybe there will be a miracle."
Princess Yuanheng nodded silently and glanced at Li Zhi.
After being injured, he did not seek death and life like those people he had heard of. He was just unusually indifferent, lying on the couch like a dead person, without any reaction. His open eyes looked at the ceiling, stunned. I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
Princess Yuanheng felt that he might be thinking about his own life.
Think about the turning point that dragged him into such an unbearable whirlpool.
If Yu Miao died and Li Zhi seemed to be a body without a soul, then now he has really become a clay and wood sculpture, and his former high-spiritedness has gone away from him.
He was lying on the bed, having difficulty even turning over.
However, she could understand the other party's mood. Anyone who suffered such a misfortune would not be able to accept it. He needed time.
As Li Zhi's wife, she should naturally take on the responsibility of taking care of him.
But Li Zhi was unwilling. When he saw her, he turned cold and said, "Stay away from me."
Princess Yuanheng remained silent and continued to do whatever she had to do. She just ignored his words and opened the quilt to massage his acupuncture points.
Li Zhi's long and narrow eyes were round and full of bloodshot eyes, like a ferocious beast: "Don't touch me! Get out!"
Princess Yuanheng stood by the couch and glanced at him, then turned and went out.
Of course she didn't give up just like that, but went out to get two balls of cotton and stuffed them into her ears in front of Li Zhi.
Li Zhi was trembling with anger, yelling "Get out of here" and waving his arms frantically to prevent Princess Yuanheng from getting closer.
Princess Yuanheng didn't speak or move, just watching quietly out of his reach.
It wasn't until Li Zhi ran out of energy and was tired from all the tossing that he called his servants in and said, "Turn him over and tie his hands."
The servant looked at Princess Yuanheng, then at Li Zhi, and finally chose to listen to Princess Yuanheng.
With an angry glare, he turned him over and let him lie flat on the bed, and then said: "The princess has to take care of the household affairs and livelihood during the day. She is really tired. Young master, please stop tossing." Some."
Li Zhi's breath froze and he buried his face in the quilt.
Princess Yuanheng saw that his shoulders were shaking slightly and he seemed to be crying. She thought for a moment and said, "If you want to drive me away, get better soon. When the time comes, I will leave the Li family and go back to the capital."
The person on the couch gradually calmed down, turned his head to face inside, stopped messing around, and allowed Princess Yuanheng to press the acupuncture points for him. However, that indifference has never changed.
The medicine prescribed by the doctor had some soothing effect. By the time Princess Yuanheng finished pressing the acupuncture points, he had already closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.
The confrontation and struggle just now were like a short-lived nightmare that ceased to exist in the pouring rain.
Princess Yuanheng stood quietly in front of the bed, looking at Li Zhi's back, a feeling of blockage enveloped her tightly.
She took a step forward slightly, then stepped back to her original position, and finally exited the room. Hold an umbrella and walk into the rain, leaving all your love inside.
No matter how rich the Li family is, they can't just sit back and have nothing.
When Princess Yuanheng was with the Queen Mother, she had someone to help with everything. When she arrived at the Li family, she had to learn everything from scratch.
She enjoyed it, but after Li Zhi heard her talk about his plans within a few years, instead of being happy, he got angry, smashed the medicine bowl, poured soup and porridge, and shouted at Princess Yuanheng to get out. .
Princess Yuanheng's eyes turned red for the first time, and she stood silently for a moment before turning and exiting the room.
She stood outside the door, leaned gently under the pillars, closed her eyes for a long time, and then held back her tears.
When I raised my head again, I saw the bright crescent moon in the sky, and my heart suddenly became clear.
She thought about how angry she was with a cripple, so she wiped away her tears and went back to study the account book.
The days passed so peacefully, and not long after, Li Qingyi's second aunt Ruan came in. The Li family, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally ushered in a happy event, and it was a lively event.
It's just that when the Li family moved back to Yangzhou, they dismissed many servants. They usually don't feel that, but when it comes to big things, they feel that they don't have enough manpower.
When Princess Yuanheng went to massage Li Zhi's acupuncture points in the evening, she was too tired to speak. The light rosin-colored clothes made her complexion pale and bloodless, reflecting the orange, yellow and green willows outside the window, like a Holding the autumn frost in your hand, it will melt with just one breath.
He held the spoon in his hand and slurred at the corner of his lips for a long time, but finally did not speak.
Princess Yuanheng didn't know what he was going to say. She just thought that as long as Li Zhi didn't lose his temper or torture himself, it would be good.
After finishing what she should do, Princess Yuanheng turned around and went back to the outside room to rest, but she heard Li Zhi ask from behind her: "Where is Baoquan?"
Baoquan is the son of the Li family and Li Zhi's servant. Baoquan takes care of all the trivial matters around him.
Princess Yuanheng was a little confused and said, "Baoquan and the others have been very tired from working these days, so I asked them to rest early."
Li Zhi pursed his lips and looked a little embarrassed.
Princess Yuanheng looked at him and suddenly remembered why he was looking for Baoquan.
Because besides eating and drinking, people also have diarrhea.
Baoquan usually took care of this matter, so she couldn't react for a while.
She hesitated and said, "Let me help you."
Li Zhidao: "No need."
Princess Yuanheng didn't stop, she brought the chamber pot over and said, "We are husband and wife. It's not like I haven't seen it on you before. This is not bad."
Li Zhi's body stiffened, his face turned red, and he scolded: "You are a woman, how can you say such a thing?"
Princess Yuanheng had no expression on her face and stared at him, as if asking again, "What do you want?"
Li Zhi grabbed the chamber pot and said, "Get out!"
Princess Yuanheng glanced at him suspiciously, not sure whether he could really solve it on his own. After all, he couldn't move from the waist down, but Li Zhi looked at him stubbornly, and she turned and walked out.
yard
It was very quiet, Princess Yuanheng could hear the sounds in the house.
Li Zhi seemed to be trying hard to hold his body up with both hands. After a long time, Princess Yuanheng suddenly heard a banging sound coming from inside.
She quickly pushed the door open and saw Li Zhi leaning on one side, the chamber pot rolled from the bed to the floor, and his feces and urine were everywhere.
Li Zhi roared: "Who let you in?"
Princess Yuanheng was stunned by the embarrassing scene in front of her. If she called her servants in, Li Zhi would probably be even more embarrassed.
So she turned around and went out to get some water. Ignoring Li Zhi's glare, she started to clean up.
Li Zhi was trembling all over, looking at Princess Yuanheng and being so angry that he couldn't speak.
Princess Yuanheng just pretended not to see it and changed several basins of water before cleaning up the house.
In the end, the only problem was that Li Zhi was not cleaned up.
Li Zhi's face turned pale with anger, his veins bulged like insects, and he roared loudly: "Get out! I told you to get out!"
Princess Yuanheng frowned and decided to ignore Li Zhi's opinion, because she could run and jump, but Li Zhi couldn't, so she had the final say.
Time passed day by day amid Li Zhi's rage and Princess Yuanheng's strong care.
Li Zhi's legs finally improved.
Princess Yuanheng was overjoyed and rubbed Li Zhi's legs at night. She talked more than ever before and started talking about trivial matters in the house.
Li Zhi didn't speak until she finished speaking, then said, "Let's go back to the capital."
Princess Yuanheng's hands paused, and there were dark shadows under her drooping eyelashes.
She thought that when a person dies, he will leave a piece of land in his heart that no one can step on and no one can surpass. No matter how much effort and companionship he puts in, he can never get over the high wall that person has built in his heart.
Princess Yuanheng knew that she and Li Zhi had been forever separated into light and shadow by Yu Miao.
Li Zhi is the light and she is the shadow.
There is a gap that can never be broken.
Therefore, Princess Yuanheng never wanted to win Li Zhi's heart. She only had to do what she should do.
So, she replied: "When you get better, I will leave."
Li Zhi looked at her silently for a while and said nothing more.
Although Li Zhi was very disappointed, Princess Yuanheng still went to Dapudu Temple with great interest to fulfill her wish.
It was just an ordinary thing at first, but the appearance of Wei Shicheng made this trip different.
