"Those Turkic soldiers have been chasing me since I left Taiyuan City, and all the [-] Qianniuwei who guarded me died under their swords," Li Lizhi looked at Chen Qiao's neck, slowly Said: "I really thought I was going to die, but I wasn't afraid at all when I went."

"My wife has always been the bravest." Chen Qiao said at the right time.

Li Lizhi smiled, and then said: "But you just appeared like that. I remember Yunqian said at the time that you looked so fierce that you looked like a bandit. She thought we were going to be attacked from the back, and even she had been hidden by her all the time. Take out all the knives below." Xu Shi thought of Yunqian's appearance at that time, and Li Lizhi smiled even more, "But I know, you are definitely not a bandit, let alone a bad person."

"That's why you trust me?" Chen Qiao asked softly.

Li Lizhi nodded, "I believe you, I believe you for no reason."

"Later," Li Lizhi continued, "later you killed all those Turkic soldiers by yourself, and I thought, how can there be such a heroic man in this world."

"Presumably, Madam fell in love with my husband at first sight at that time, right?" Chen Qiao pinched Li Lizhi's slender waist, and said in a teasing voice.

"Yes," Li Lizhi didn't dodge, and looked straight at Chen Qiao, "Later on the banks of the Weishui River, you led two thousand black dragon troops and killed hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers, throwing away their helmets and armor, and even shot them to death with one arrow." After I met Jieli, I was thinking at that time, I must marry you, and I will never think of anything but you in this life."

Chen Qiao tightened his arms holding Li Lizhi, "But you are not afraid of your mother, does your uncle blame you for this?"

If Li Lizhi can marry Changsun Chong, no matter who is Li Shimin who ascends to the throne after Li Shimin, the honor and favor of the Changsun family will inevitably be unavoidable.

Li Lizhi shook her head and said, "My mother never thought of asking me to ask for something from the eldest grandson's family, and my uncle is not such a person. Whether it's the father, the mother's queen or my uncle, they all just hope that I can go well."

Chen Qiao responded, yes, according to the behavior of Empress Changsun, how could she let her daughter go to seek the well-being of her mother's family.

"But I don't want to marry the eldest grandson Chong anymore. When I was by the Weishui River, I told my father that I will not marry a king in this life. Although my father was surprised, he didn't say much. Time has already been very optimistic about you." Li Lizhi said.

Chen Qiao nodded Li Lizhi's nose, "Your Majesty has always loved you like jewels, so how could he have the heart to make you marry reluctantly?"

"The only person I feel sorry for back then is Changsun Chong," Li Lizhi sighed as he spoke, "Since I was a child, under the express hints of my father, mother, and uncle, the entire city of Chang'an Everyone already knew that Princess Changle would marry the eldest son of the Changsun Mansion, but I broke my promise and caused him to be ridiculed by those who have always been jealous of him."

"He won't blame you," Chen Qiao said, "Although I haven't seen him, over the years, no matter whether it's the common people or the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, when I mention him, I always say it's a pity, and I know that he is absolutely dead. I won't blame you for this."

"He didn't blame me," Li Lizhi said with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were bitter. "He even asked my uncle to come to comfort me, saying that I should marry the person I like, not what everyone thinks I should marry." Married."

Sure enough, he is an open-minded person, Chen Qiao thought secretly.

"On the day after Father made the decree, he even gave me a congratulatory gift as a cousin, who knows..." Li Lizhi's voice gradually dropped, "Who knows, but the next day, he Died by Yin Hongzhi's sword..."

For so many years, Li Lizhi has always had a knot in her heart, but she didn't want to talk about it with Chen Qiao, for fear that Chen Qiao would blame her, and she didn't know how to speak. the hurdle.

Chen Qiao stroked Li Lizhi's back softly, "Why didn't you tell me all these years?" He asked softly.

"I'm afraid you will be angry." Li Lizhi huddled in Chen Qiao's arms like a child, watching his expression carefully, "After all, I had a marriage contract with Chang Sun Chong, although it was only said by the elders, but in the end There have been."

"Is your husband such a narrow-minded person?" Chen Qiao laughed, "You should have said it earlier, and you shouldn't have put such a thing in your heart, otherwise your body will have problems." , Chen Qiao looked at Li Lizhi worriedly again.

"That's why I said it today," Li Lizhi said with the corners of her lips curled up, "It's been more than ten years, I should let go of this past."

"I didn't expect so many years to have passed in the blink of an eye." Chen Qiao also said with some emotion.

"Qiao Lang," Li Lizhi said, "You haven't been to Longmen Gate for several years, why don't you go back and see them?"

Hearing Li Lizhi's question, Chen Qiao heaved a long sigh. Over the past few years, how could he not want to go to Longmen Pass to see those soldiers who had long been buried in the ground, but whenever he was about to go back, there would always be such-and-such Things got in his way, and he was delayed again and again.

"There are still many things I need to do in Chang'an City, how can I let go." Chen Qiao said helplessly.

Hearing this, Li Lizhi couldn't help but sighed, "Then after all these things are done, let's snatch Sister Lan out of Dongnv Country first, and then go straight to Longmen Pass, how about that?" Li Lizhi couldn't help but She looked at Chen Qiao slyly, just like she did when she was a girl.

Chen Qiao smiled, "Okay, after these things are done now, let's go to Longmen Pass to choke Fu Lan!"

That night, the husband and wife talked a lot before finally falling asleep.

Looking affectionately at Li Lizhi, who was lying beside him and already asleep, Chen Qiao couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.Immediately, he hugged him tightly in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Qiao sent a reply letter to Fu Lan, and according to Li Lizhi's request, wrote in the letter how Li Lizhi and her two children missed Fu Lan.

After breakfast, Chen Qiao went out to the palace.

"How is Your Majesty doing today?"

In Xingqing Palace, Chen Qiao sat down face to face with Li Zhi and Li Chengqian.

Because of Li Shimin's deteriorating health, Li Chengqian stayed in the capital for the time being, and the two brothers could help Li Shimin more by working together.In fact, Chen Qiao still wanted to see Wu Zetian's methods, but now Wu Zetian only wanted to be Li Zhi's good helper, so he didn't intend to cultivate Wu Zetian's ambition.

"Father only used a small bowl of bird's nest soup this morning, and didn't eat anything else. According to Eunuch Liang, Father's appetite has dropped a lot when he came in. He used to be able to eat two deer legs in one meal, but now he can't eat one. I can't eat anymore." Li Zhi said worriedly.

When Chen Qiao heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "Three months have passed, but there is still no news of Sun Simiao. I have sent the Black Dragon Army to go outside along the border of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to find him."

After saying these things, Chen Qiao couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Li Chengqian was a little terrified by Chen Qiao's stare, but he felt relieved when he thought that he hadn't done anything bad since returning to Beijing.

"When we dealt with Zhao, Xu, and Sun's families earlier, His Majesty said that a force was also watching them. Do you still remember, His Highness King Huai?" Chen Qiao asked inadvertently.

Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Chen Qiao unnaturally, and said, "I remember it, but I don't know why you brought it up again now?"

Chen Qiao picked up the teacup, gently blew away the tea stalks floating on the water in the cup, and gave Li Chengqian a meaningful look, "Could it be that His Highness King Huai can't guess why I brought up the old story again?"

"You..." Li Chengqian's face changed, "You know?"

Chen Qiao nodded leisurely, took a sip of tea and put down the cup again, "It's not something shameful, why didn't you tell everyone?"
