Chapter 107 Chapter One Hundred and Six

Finally, both of them were tired of fighting, and Wei Huai'en coaxed them well, and he was wrapped in a quilt.When he wanted to raise his left hand around his waist, Xiao Qi shrank subconsciously and tensed his muscles.

Wei Huaien didn't say anything, just patted his side gently and waited for him to relax.No matter what he is awkward about tonight, he can know from her constant and even worse doting that she doesn't dislike him.

After Xiao Qi softened his body and stopped thinking about it, Wei Huai'en raised his head and sweetly pecked him on the lips, and fell asleep with him peacefully.

Ming Feng, who was watching the night outside the temple, picked out his ears, regretting that he forgot to bring earplugs today.

Fortunately, he was the one who kept watch in the middle of the night, otherwise it would be okay if the master's private appearance spread out?
He will definitely protect the secrets of His Highness and Master!

Princess Jiarou's mansion.

In the middle of the night, someone outside knocked on Meng Keshu's window lattice.

"Ok?"

Meng Keshu, who was already asleep, rubbed his eyes and sat up, wondering if he had misheard the sound of the rain outside, when Li Kong, who heard her movement, quickly opened the door and came in.

"It's raining, why are you here!"

Seeing that it was him, Meng Keshu didn't wait for him to come over, she just got down on the bed with bare feet and rushed over. The moon white pajamas were hugged by the black night clothes, and it took a long time to separate.

"The defense is not strict tonight, so I came here, have you fallen asleep yet?"

Li Kong carried Meng Keshu back to the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her legs, and then held her hand and looked at her through a small lampstand beside the bed.

There is no difference from the last time I saw her, but her complexion has improved a lot. It seems that no one in the princess mansion has treated her badly.

Meng Keshu naturally shook her head, and took the initiative to sit closer and hold his face.

"Of course not, and you finally came to see me once, I'm not sleepy at all."

It's just that her strong spirit can't be faked, Li Kong gently straightened her hair curled up in sleep, put her arms around her shoulders and said to her:

"His Highness Jiarou has become the crown prince today, presumably the imperial decree will come down tomorrow, and I will take you back when the time comes, and I won't disturb you in the middle of the night from now on."

Meng Keshu subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered something was wrong.

"Hey, haven't you read the letter I sent you these days? I'm not in a hurry to leave. His Highness Jiarou is short of a female officer serving Mo. I can help her."

Seeing that her eyes were full of expectations, Li Kong couldn't bear to explain his purpose of coming directly, so he could only ask in a roundabout way:
"Do you have to go? Your Highness Jiarou is not short of you, but I miss you very much, little moon, will you go home with me? I don't want to see you for a few days or nights, okay?"

Meng Keshu blinked her eyes, but didn't hear his overtones. She thought he was just complaining, so she leaned forward and touched his forehead.

"How could it be? I went to the East Palace in a dignified way, and I was on duty every day like you. I could go home when the time came. It wasn't a place to hide. How could you not see me?"

"...But what if I don't want you to go?"

Li Kong gritted his teeth, trying his best not to make her sad.Meng Keshu backed away a little, and he hurriedly made up a few words:

"What's so good about the East Palace? I have refurbished your yard. Now there is a piano room, a garden, oh, and a pond. You will definitely like it. Even if you don't go anywhere, you won't feel boring……"

"Li Kong, why don't you want me to go?"

When he was racking his brains to make her give up, Meng Keshu's fingertips pressed against his stuttering lips.

"These are not reasons, why? Tell me."

Facing her bright moon-like pupils, any whitewashing by Li Kong seems pretentious.

He lowered his eyes, looked at her legs sticking to his, and spoke the truth slowly.

"... It is difficult for a woman to be an official. His Highness Jiarou is so powerful that he is not afraid of being criticized by the world, but... Little Moon, the criticism from the previous court has never stopped. You go to her at this time, not to do it for the speaker. What else could the target be?"

Seeing Meng Keshu's eyes sinking little by little, and taking his hands away from his face, Li Kong hurriedly grabbed her hands and continued to persuade:
"I'm not trying to frame you. I promised you that I will respect all your ideas. If you don't want to stay in the mansion all day, the Imperial College will open a women's school. With your piano skills, you can definitely continue to be your piano Mr. Yi, isn't it good to be safe and sound like this?

His Highness Jiarou was able to resist objections because she was born to be a nobleman, and there are so many people around her who can sacrifice their lives for her. How about you, Little Moon?

Listen to me, I don't mean anything else, but you have to think about yourself, and think about me.Even if there is an imperial decree to amnesty the world, you still can't get rid of the identity of Miss Meng's family.

If you have accepted His Highness Jiarou's favor, it is impossible for the speaker to let you go.If you can't suppress His Highness Jiarou, it's not just a matter of a few letters that will ruin your reputation?I'm really afraid that I can't protect you, so come home with me, okay? "

Meng Keshu twitched his hand, but Li Kong clenched it tightly, and when he found out that she wanted to back away, he stuck with him and wanted to explain for himself.

"Little Moon..."

"How do you know that I haven't thought about what you said? Do you think I'm so stupid that others say what they say, and I haven't thought about danger at all?"

Meng Keshu questioned him coldly, even if she didn't push away his embrace, he felt her alienation from head to toe.

He said the wrong thing, he pissed her off.

But he didn't understand why she didn't appreciate it even though he was doing it for her own good. What was wrong with him?
"His Royal Highness once persuaded me, she said, if you and I want to be together, there are too many things to consider. But I never thought that we should not be together. I thought that after so many years, we should be this The best match in the world."

She changed the subject suddenly, making Li Kong not know what to say, but hurriedly echoed her meaning.

"Yes, we are. Little Moon, I know what you're thinking, and I'm really only doing it for your own good."

The feeling of being about to vomit was suppressed by Meng Keshu, not because of physical discomfort, but because she had heard such words hundreds of times, all to make her obedient, obedient, and tame , Let her be put in chains willingly.

"You are good for me? My mother, my father and brother also kept saying that they were good for me, but who ever asked me what I wanted?
You're right, I really can't get rid of the past of the criminal minister's daughter.So in order to live a safe and stable life in the future, I should marry you honestly, live under your protection, and never have to face those people's accusations, right? "

Li Kong opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Is it not?Could it be that after getting along for so long, can't she believe that he will treat her well for the rest of his life?
Seeing him acquiescing, Meng Keshu's heart was completely chilled.

The indifferent and unfamiliar gaze hit Li Kong, making him unable to face it, he could only hold her hand tightly, as if desperately trying to keep Heng'e who was about to leave.

The candle beside the bed seemed to be intimidated by the atmosphere in the room, trembling and shaking, like Li Kong's heart fluttering.

"Little Moon, don't be like this, you know I'm different from them, how could I hurt you? Didn't I do all this to make there no more obstacles between us? All I want, from beginning to end, is you , I just want to marry you and love you, right?"

Those icy eyes fell on their interlocking hands.

Seeing her grinning miserably, Li Kong opened his fingers forcefully.

He panicked, the alienation of the people in front of him was the same as the way he would rather go on a hunger strike than see him again.He knelt down on the ground beside the bed, hugged her leg again and begged for her forgiveness.

"Don't do this, I was wrong, little moon, please don't treat me like this, I..."

His words were interrupted by her again.

"Women are not allowed to have a past, and women are not allowed to have a future. They used to do everything for the family, and now they have to obey their husband's family. From birth to death, you can't help yourself at all. Do you think this kind of life is a human life?"

What Wei Huai'en once said to her was not taken seriously at the time, but now in retrospect, everything is actually the truth.

"...Li Kong was once a male favorite, what a humiliating and unbearable past. But when he suddenly became the Sijun of the Xuanyu Division Yizi Camp, no one with long eyes would look at him Mention half a sentence of the past.

His talent is obvious to all, and he has always been able to come from both sides, so his future path will only go smoother, climb higher and wider.

What's more, after reaching his current status, everything he does in the future will only be praised by people, and no one will criticize him for being a male favourite.

Because he crossed that invisible, intangible, but real existence in the hearts of the world, the so-called line of achievement and fame.After crossing this line, the world can only treat him with tolerance.

But have you thought about it?If such an unbearable past is put on any woman, or if a prostitute who has fallen into a brothel is allowed to return home, do you think this woman, can she still live? "

Even if Meng Keshu's situation is far from degraded, even if she was imprisoned in the mansion by Li Kong for several months, stayed in Mingzhou for many years, and spent every day under surveillance, she still knew that her life was far worse than anyone else's. Women are free.

But just the past of exile of the whole family, in Li Kong's mouth, is already a handle that can be attacked by the previous court. Should she thank him for his reminder, or is she so disappointed that even he thinks it is right to impose a crime?

Right shit!
Li Kong is still defending his words, hoping that she will tolerate his many mistakes as before.

"...His Highness Jiarou is the first concubine of the Liang Dynasty. How can a woman stand in the hall without being noticed and criticized? Little Moon, why do you bother to go?"

The little candle finally burned out the lamp oil and turned into a wisp of smoke scattered in the darkness.

The room was completely dark, only Meng Keshu's faint voice from the clouds could be heard.

"Because she is a woman and alone, that's why I'm going to help her.

It's also to help myself, to help all the women who are protected by her, Li Kong, you don't understand at all. "

Li Kong excitedly stood up to refute her words:
"I don't understand? If anyone in this world can understand your situation, it can only be me! And only me!
You don't understand.Even at today's crown prince ceremony and palace banquet, I can hear the endless ridicule and imagination of those men.You have no idea how dirty they can arrange His Royal Highness Jiarou and all the women who have come out of the backyard to set up their own houses!

How could I not know the danger of those people?Even... Even during the days when I was a male favorite, I didn't dare to place an order, for fear of... Heh, if you say I don't understand, how could I not understand?

So I don't want to be treated as a woman in my life, never again..."

In the past, if Li Kong exposed his scars, Meng Keshu would always soften his heart and comfort him.But today, every word he said made her unable to understand.

"That's obviously a problem with those dirty people, what does it have to do with His Highness and others? Why do you look down on women?"

I couldn't see clearly in the darkness, the wind and rain outside were getting stronger, and a thunderbolt suddenly struck, illuminating Li Kong's panicked face.

"Look at me, little moon, look at me. I work hard day by day, just to climb higher, so that fewer and fewer people dare to talk about my past, until those dirty Not a word of obscenity could reach my ears.

Only in this way can I protect you well in the future, so that those who know your identity will not dare to make trouble in front of you, because you will be my wife, and I will kill whoever insults you.

However, even if His Highness Jiarou ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, criticizing her for pampering eunuchs and imposing strict laws, there will only be more and more people who refuse to speak out. Even if she has already made a lot of achievements now, as long as she is a woman, it will never be possible. Be taken seriously.

Can it be the same?Do you think women and men can be the same?Such a simple truth cannot be changed because of the efforts of you and His Highness Jiarou, you cannot change the world. "

But Meng Keshu didn't show any emotion, Li Kong tentatively wanted to touch her shoulder, but before he could touch her, she heard her sigh.

"...So in your eyes, no matter what I do, it's not worth mentioning?"

Li Kong's outstretched hand was clenched into a fist, and Meng Keshu, who didn't like oil and salt, made it almost impossible for him to maintain his rationality, and he even thought of taking her away directly, and then coaxing her slowly after returning home.

"If I hadn't saved you and protected you back then, do you think that after being exiled and hunted down, your experience would be much better than mine? Either you will die, or you will be stained with mud and you will never be able to recover. I am not right. ?”

He has always been thinking about her, and he never even dared to take the last step, for fear that before he really gained power, he would make a mistake and cause her to suffer again with him.

But such a precious treatment, such a heart-to-heart dissuasion, was actually regarded by her as a wolf?Still comparing him with that disgusting father and son?How could she do this to him?
"You actually think so? Li Kong, I'm so blind that I know your truth!"

The words have been spoken, and Li Kong knows that there is no possibility of taking them back, but as long as she knows why she did what she did, she must understand, right?

"Sorry, sorry little moon."

He threw himself on the side of the bed and hugged her waist, apologizing to her in a trembling voice.

 Mingfeng: How much I have endured silently for this family
  Shui Jing: ...why do you think you were asked to watch the night when someone else was idle today?

  Li Kong: I think I'm going to die
  Wei Wynn: Serve it right, really
