Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 57: : That 1 month
Three hours ago.
With Du Taiping's approval, Xun Shitian finally thought of an extremely vicious scheme. Some naive, but very vicious.
He brought a superstitious letter from the "Raksha Kingdom" to plot Kyushu to the guest hall of the palace, trying to sneak this secret letter into Li Zhen's package and murder him.
This naive strategy is actually not going to work. But now it works.
Because the emperor's attitude towards Li Zhen today made everyone feel that the emperor doesn't want to see Li Zhen.
If the emperor admires Li Zhen, then the emperor can ignore all misunderstandings. But he didn't like to see it, and even repelled it a little. From the urgent recruitment of Li Zhen to the court, to the emperor's immediate promise of rewards when the court was dispersed, it can be seen that the emperor did not want to see Li Zhen again, wanted him to leave quickly, and sent him away quickly.
And this kind of attitude makes their strategy very likely to succeed. Even if he can't succeed, it can make Li Zhen uncomfortable for a while. It doesn't matter, as long as Li Zhen is in the capital, there will always be countless means coming. This disgusting method of toad crawling on the feet is only the first step.
But when the eighth prince spent a long time trying to touch the guest hall, he found that the building was empty.
The Eighth Prince anxiously searched everywhere, searched the entire palace but couldn't find Li Zhen, which made him feel like he had punched cotton. After finding Yuan Cheng, he learned that he had already left Beijing in the afternoon.
The eighth prince's lungs were about to explode, and his bodyguards and Du Taiping's sister-in-law were all beheaded by that vicious person in public. If you can't swallow this breath, you won't be able to avenge this revenge at all. He also thought that he would stay in Beijing for a few days and use the cruelest means to take revenge.
But Li Zhen is leaving now, and he is still going to Dongzhou, which is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Zhongzhou, and the sky is far away from the emperor. The Eighth Prince, what else can he do?
"Ah!"
"I'm not convinced!"
Late at night, deep in the palace, there were bursts of unwilling roars.
——-
On the way, the carriage drove all night, and Li Zhen didn't know where he went.
It was only during the evening talk by candlelight that Xu Shenxue opened his belly to tell him about the complicated relationship and situation in the palace, that he would know how important it is to leave the capital early.
"The emperor asked you what reward you want at the end. The implication is: If you have nothing else to do, you should leave Beijing as soon as possible after receiving the reward. So Li Zhen, you must be aware of current affairs. The emperor just doesn't want to see you now, but you must never Don't let him hate you. The Eighth Prince will have endless means to make him never treat you and hate you, and that's when you will be in trouble."
Li Zhen nodded deeply: "Thank you, Principal Xu, for calling."
"From today on, you are my student. It is the teacher's responsibility to protect you."
Li Zhen stood up in the carriage and bowed deeply to Xu Shenxue: "Student pays respects to teacher."
Xu Shenxue received a salute, and said with a smile: "You must not have any thoughts of being aggrieved. Let me say something outrageous..."
Xu Shenxue looked around and said in a low voice, "A man in his seventies, how long can he live? It can be seen that he is short of energy to speak now, and his energy is almost exhausted. What else do you have?" What is there to worry about? As long as you stay in Dongzhou during this period of time, do your business and stop paying attention to the court. When the prince of the East Palace takes over, it will be the time for you to make a fortune."
Li Zhenxin's heart jumped wildly, and his back felt cold. These words... are really outrageous enough.
However, his heart was full of emotion. Xu Shenxue even dared to say this to himself, which was really leading him into the door. He really treats himself as his student, trusts himself, and values himself.
Xu Shenxue continued: "You don't need to guess, I know that the relationship between you and the prince should be relatively close."
Li Zhen hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile: "When he left Jinzhou County, he introduced me as a princeling."
"That's it. What else do you have to worry about? When Xun Shifei took office, it was the time when you were in full swing. What you have to do now is to stay in Dongzhou and lay a solid foundation. I won't let you You wasted six years in school. I will seek an official position for you. From now on, you should pave the way for your future. My vision has never been wrong. Your future sky is very broad. The stronger the foundation now , the road will be smoother in the future. Maybe you don’t want to be an official, but you need strength, and you will develop a more brilliant path in science only if you have a bigger backer behind you.”
Li Zhen smiled and nodded: "I understand. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I don't reject being an official."
"That's good. Go to bed early."
"Yes, Principal."
"Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long to return to Eight Dragon City. Take advantage of this time to calm down, and use time to quell the negative rumors about you from the people. I have to say that the Eighth Prince's move Vicious."
Li Zhen turned his eyes and suddenly asked: "Teacher, do you think it is possible for the eighth prince to become the crown prince?"
Xu Shenxue was silent for a while, and said: "No. There are too many partisan disputes here. What's more, the Eighth Prince does not have any resource advantages to attract the officials of the current court to lean towards him. Now, 80% of the court officials are in favor of him. They are all princelings. Unless the emperor dares to risk the world and strongly supports the eighth prince. Unless the prince is dead."
Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
He quietly fell asleep in the carriage.
This night, I dreamed of Zhang Zhi...
When I wake up, it seems like a lifetime away.
Li Zhen looked at the bright sky outside the still bumpy carriage, and burst into tears.
He suddenly forgot what the content of his dream was.
He suddenly forgot the content of the dream he had before.
He only remembered dreaming of Zhang Zhi that night, but he forgot the content of the dream and what the two had said.
"How could I forget?"
"I can't forget."
Li Zhen frowned, and slapped his head in distress, but he couldn't remember what the dream was about.
"Where are you?"
"Already out of Zhongzhou!"
Outside the carriage, Qi Lengzi, who was riding a horse, replied.
Are you out of Zhongzhou?
Li Zhenxin thumped in his heart, feeling that he urgently wanted to go back to Eight Dragon City.
He vaguely seems to remember who said in a dream... the day we meet again at Baqiao is the time we meet again.
He had a faint feeling that he would be able to see her when he returned to Eight Dragon City.
————
When I wake up, it seems like a lifetime away.
Zhang Zhi woke up from the hospital bed with gauze wrapped around his head, with tears in his eyes, he murmured: "I dreamed about him. But... I can't remember what the dream was about. This is our last time Dream? But why can't I remember what happened in the dream?"
"But why do I know, I have to wait for him in Baqiao."
"Why do I feel that I can see him when he arrives."
"I will wait for him."
“…”
Ten thousand years ago.
Liuting Road, Baqiaotou.
"How much is the annual rent here?"
"The price has increased recently, 12,000 for a single room."
"Thank you."
"No."
“…”
She rented the apartment far away, and she felt that she would have to wait for him here for a long time.
During the day she goes to school ~IndoMTL.com~ At night, she goes to sit in a nearby square and wait. Every night with my hands on my chin, I sat there looking at the moon in the sky. I have to sit there for a long time every day and wait for a long time.
After a month, gradually, she forgot what she was waiting for.
"What am I waiting for?"
At night after 32 days, she suddenly lowered her head and asked herself.
seems to have forgotten a very important thing, seems to have forgotten a great thing.
She forgot why she lived here, forgot why she came here to wait every day. Forget what you are waiting for. I also forgot to have a very strange dream.
She looked at the tattoo on her arm that she had done in a tattoo shop last month, and murmured: "Why did I tattoo the word 'Li Zhen' on my arm? What am I afraid to forget? What did I forget? What? Li Zhen what? Why do I think these two words are so familiar, why do I feel that these two words will make me sad..."
"During this time, what have I missed, what am I waiting for, and what have I forgotten?"
Zhang Zhi looked up at the moon in the dark night, ignoring the people coming and going in the square. It seems that I always hallucinate that I will come to an extremely silent and dark space, there is only one moon in that space, and there is a person who can't remember what it looks like.
She often forgets why she likes watching the moon at night so much.
Forgot what to wait for.
"But I will always wait here..."
Seems to be waiting for a very important person. I don't know when he will come, I don't know if he will come, I don't know what he looks like, I don't know who he is.
Just know that is a very important person. A man who leaves a tear in his own heart.
"My lord was not born in the sky, and the ages are like a long night."
