Bai Song fell ill after leaving the palace.
Although Bai Song did not make his return to Chang'an public, someone would always get the news.
Therefore, people occasionally come to visit the Prince of Beiding.
Everything seemed peaceful.
Until Li Chengqian got the news from somewhere and came to visit.
This is Li Chengqian's visit to the Beiding Palace again, and his last conversation with Princess Mingzhu is still vivid in his mind.
Bai Song met Li Chengqian alone in the backyard room.
Li Chengqian saw Bai Song lying on the bed and didn't know whether it was a real illness or a fake illness.
The atmosphere of the reunion between master and apprentice seemed a bit awkward.
Bai Song looked at Li Chengqian's legs and felt a little strange as he limped.
Indeed, Li Chengqian is a bit strange now, at least completely different from what Bai Song remembered.
In front of Bai Song, he didn't have the same panic as when he stood in front of Princess Mingzhu. Instead, he held his head high and showed his manliness as much as possible.
I don’t know when his true side was, or whether he was just pretending both times.
After a moment of silence, Bai Song asked lightly: "Did Bai Rou ask you to inquire about me?"
With one sentence, Li Chengqian frowned and didn't know how to answer.
Bai Song sat up from the bed. Of course he was not really sick, but said seriously: "Your father said that I can't be the emperor because I have too many emotions. And you, Li Chengqian, can't be the emperor either. Because you also have your own infatuation. If you want to be an emperor, you must throw away all your remaining emotions before you can truly be a good emperor. I didn't understand it very well before, but now that I see it, it actually verifies the emperor's statement.
Bai Rou can't be the queen, because she still has her own emotions, so I only need to make a little use of her concern for her brother to make her show off. As for you, it's easier for others to take advantage of you. You know that Bai Rou is just using you, but you are still willing to live for her. I really want to know, are you rebelling for her or for yourself? "
"What are you talking about, sir? The students can't understand a word." Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and replied.
"It's time to make a choice." Bai Song half-squinted his eyes, "If you were asked to choose between Bai Rou and the throne, who would you choose?"
"Of course it's Sister Bai Rou." Li Chengqian answered directly without hesitation.
"Really? You didn't hesitate at all?"
"Really! If sir, you really care about Sister Bai Rou, you should know that I am the best destination for Sister Bai Rou."
"Her destiny is to be the queen. Your position is in jeopardy now. Before you get the throne, no matter what you say or do, it will be in vain. I believe Bai Rou told you the same."
Li Chengqian's expression was solemn, but there was no denying that this was true.
"Sir, what you want is for students to take the initiative and fulfill their promise to sister Bai Rou as soon as possible?"
"This is your own business, so you have to understand it yourself. But when we are a master and a disciple, the master always advises you to be more careful."
Li Chengqian thought about it, clasped his fists and handed over his hands: "The student should understand the teacher's intention. Since the husband is not sick, the student will not disturb him too much."
After saying that, Li Chengqian turned around and limped away.
Seeing Li Chengqian leaving, Princess Mingzhu walked out from behind the screen.
Princess Mingzhu looked a little surprised. She looked at Bai Song and exclaimed: "Husband, if you tell the prince these things, are you asking him to die? If there is no complete preparation, the prince's rise will never succeed. Husband, tell him these words Listen, you are just adding fuel to the flames.”
Bai Song half-squinted his eyes and said: "I am not satisfied with his choice. If he chooses to be the emperor and gives up Bai Rou, maybe I will help him realize what he wants. But he would rather not have the country than to pester Bai Rou. It seems that I can’t turn back. It’s impossible for me to leave Bai Rou to such a person. Since he can’t turn back, I can only choose to protect Bai Rou. Although this decision is very difficult and unjust, but the choice That’s it, whenever there are contrasting things, there will always be something important and something unimportant.”
Princess Mingzhu suddenly felt that her husband at this moment was a little strange. Normally she would never see her husband so heartless.
"As long as the prince dies, Bai Rou will realize that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot truly become the emperor. Because in the deep-rooted thoughts of the people, they cannot accept a woman with a foreign surname no matter what. Bai Rou knows that she has no hope, She will return to the path she should be on."
After Bai Song finished speaking, he looked at Princess Mingzhu, as if waiting for her judgment. I wonder if Bai Song's plan is feasible?
Princess Mingzhu thought for a while and asked softly: "Then what should we do now?"
"The day when the prince rises to power is when we leave Chang'an, so pack your luggage and prepare to go to Jixian with me."
"Husband, don't you want to see the final result?"
"There's no need to read it, because history doesn't make mistakes. What's wrong is just my wishful thinking."
Princess Mingzhu didn't understand her husband's words, so she hesitated and asked, "What about Bai Rou?"
"If Bai Rou understands my thoughts, she will naturally come back and admit her mistake."
…
Bai Song was very positive about the future development of Datang this time.
The Beiding Palace began to rest, and the carriages and horses were ready to leave early outside Chang'an City.
Bai Song never left the Beiding Palace and never saw any guests.
I thought I would stay longer, but ended up waiting only two days.
Early in the morning, many soldiers gathered towards the palace.
On that day, all gates in Chang'an were unattended.
Bai Song immediately left Chang'an with his family and got on the carriage to Ji County, Youzhou.
This is a day worth remembering. I originally thought of asking what year and month it is today, but think about it, what else is worth caring about?
I left Chang'an today, but there was heavy snowfall in Chang'an.
Except for some servants from Beiding Palace, Beili, Bai Feng, Huo Fenghuang, Jiumei and others did not appear in the team.
There is only one Princess Mingzhu by her side.
There is a seat reserved for Bai Rou in the carriage, and Bai Song believes that she will always come.
Now, Bai Song got what he wanted, but Princess Mingzhu beside him didn't seem satisfied.
"What? Are you still a little unwilling?"
Princess Mingzhu shook her head: "Actually, I am happy knowing that my husband can be happy. I can let go of my obsessions for my husband. I believe Sister Bai Rou is the same."
"That's what you said, but I can see why you don't look very good. You're trying to force a smile."
Princess Mingzhu smiled faintly, then suddenly looked down at her belly, touching it tenderly, and everything was clear to her.
"The princess is pregnant?"
Princess Mingzhu smiled sweetly: "The thing that really makes me let go of everything is the child in my belly."
