Chapter 302 Friends and Enemies (IV)

Knowing that Li Ming was coming for dinner, Li Song was waiting in the hall early. Now Li Song hid in the Supreme Palace all day long and was free and comfortable. The doctor sent by Li Ming was also carefully prepared. He was no longer as dying as he used to be. His white and tender skin also showed a hint of rosy and obviously gained weight.

Li Song didn't know that Li Ming was going to bring Li Qing and Li Yan over. In fact, he had not been involved in any national affairs for more than a year, and he didn't even know about Li Ming's expedition this time. All day long, he spent his time drinking and lying in the back garden with his concubines, playing chess and watching the scenery. His life seemed to be happy. He didn't know at all about Li Ming's capture of Li Qing and Li Yan.

Therefore, when he saw the two people following Li Ming, his smile suddenly solidified on his face, and the teacup in his hand also fell to the ground with a slam.

Li Ming took the lead and took out the quick-acting heart-saving pill specially made for him in Li Song's arms and stuffed him a few pills. At the same time, he held his wrist and inserted a strong internal force into his body. Li Ming didn't want to have a very happy and sad thing at this time. Li Song's heart failure is already very serious, and this strong mood fluctuation may make his heart unbearable.

After a few quick breaths, Li Song slowly sat on the chair with the help of Li Ming, with a complicated expression in his eyes. He spoke several times and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

"Have you come to see your elder brother yet?" Li Ming shouted softly at Li Qing and Li Yan, who were also standing at the door with a complicated expression.

This low shout also woke Li Song up from his shock. He pulled Li Ming's arm, trembling all over his body slowly raised his arms and pointed at the two of them, and said in a hoarse voice: "You...you...you...is this true?...I'm not wrong?"

Li Qing and Li Yan slowly walked into the hall and stared at Li Song and were also at a loss. When the brother and sister met in this situation, they felt like they had knocked over a bottle of five flavors in their hearts. I don’t know what it felt like.

"Sit down, it's inevitable to meet in this situation. Brother, you won't blame me for doing this." Li Ming broke the silence and said to Li Song softly.

"It's them?...I'm not wrong? Can I see them in this life?" Li Song could no longer help but feel excited, and actually burst into tears like a child.

He looked at Li Song with a complicated expression and looked at him in tears. Li Qing whispered: "Brother... I didn't expect we could meet again." Speaking of this, his eyes were filled with tears.

Li Ming stared at him in surprise, and felt a little relieved in his heart. What he was most worried about was that Li Qing ignored his brotherly feelings and spoke rudely after meeting him, which would stimulate Li Song's old illness to relapse. However, unexpectedly, this insidious and cunning second prince actually showed a hint of humanity at this moment.

"It's really you...Li Ming, what's going on? They... how come they are here?" Li Song wiped his tears with his sleeves and asked Li Ming in panic.

Li Ming smiled slightly and said softly: "Brother, don't worry about how they came from. In short, it's in front of you now. After all, you are all close friends. Today, why not forget all the unhappiness and estrangement in the past and get together? Brother, talk to them carefully, don't worry about me."

Li Song burst into tears and wiped away the tears on his face, nodded and said, "Yes...yes, right. No matter what happened before, we are all flesh and blood, so we should have a good time together. I can still see them in my lifetime. I should really thank God. Second brother and younger sister, don't mention anything before. Is it okay for us brother and sister to have a good reunion dinner?"

Li Qing smiled bitterly, grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, then smiled bitterly, "We brothers fought for more than ten years, but they all ended up being defeated. In the end, our brothers were all making wedding dresses for others. Could it be that the friendship between our brothers was so weak that they actually asked you to pass the throne to an outsider?"

"Enough!" Li Ming interrupted Li Qing with a low shout, staring at him coldly, "If you just want to talk about these things, then go back. Taking you here is not something that allows you to get old accounts. If you are still so hopeless, don't blame me for being rude."

"No!" Li Song grabbed Li Ming's arm and said to him with a begging face: "Li Ming, just let him say it, I don't care. I'm a brother. I don't care what he said. Today, let him vent his pleasure."

Li Ming stared at Li Song and smiled bitterly, then turned his head to look at Li Qing with anger on his face, shook his head and said nothing.

"Second brother, I don't want to mention all the past things. The matter has passed. It seems that you have completely failed. Now, we have all lost the qualification to be emperor, so don't think about those things. In the past, I also wanted to ascend the throne with ambitiousness. For this reason, our brothers also fought to the death, and even had the idea of ​​getting rid of Li Ming. But now I understand that in life, everything is God's will. Look at me, although I finally ascended the throne as I wish, I was unable to govern this country, and finally gave the throne helplessly to Li Ming. You said, isn't this God's will? So, don't mention the past things again. Since we brothers and sisters are destined to meet again today, why not let us cherish this opportunity? Come, brother, I wish you a cup." As he said that, Li Song raised the cup in front of him.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qing finally raised the wine glass again and reached the cup towards Li Song with Li Yan. The three wine glasses gently touched, and then the three of them drank all speechlessly.

"That's right." Li Song's eyes were filled with excitement and he said happily: "From now, let us brothers and sisters get along well. You can move to my palace to live in peace and freedom. Wouldn't it be great?"

Li Qing smiled bitterly, glanced at Li Ming, and said quietly: "I'm afraid someone won't let me go."

Li Song was startled, and his face dimmed immediately. He lowered his head silently, the muscles on his face twitched gently, and his hands trembled with trembling hands and poured them into his stomach one by one.

Li Ming hurriedly held his arm and whispered: "Brother, your body cannot drink so much wine."

Li Song raised his head, his eyes filled with tears. He looked at Li Ming with a begging gaze and said tremblingly: "Li Ming, can't you be able to be able to adapt? I no longer care about the past, why do you still want to do this? My second brother has fallen into your hands. He can no longer pose any threat to you. Why can't you spare his life? No matter what, he is also my brother. Do you have to let me kneel down to you?"

Li Ming sighed lightly and said with a forced smile: "Brother, can you not mention the past today? You brother and sister finally got together, so you should have a good talk. Can you discuss this matter later?"

"No!" Li Song wiped his tears and said anxiously: "This matter must be answered to me now. Li Ming, I promised you not to ask for state affairs again, but today, I want to ask you for personal favors and let them go. They can no longer pose any threat to you. You can leave two relatives for me, okay?"

Li Ming smiled bitterly, looked at Li Song and said, "Brother, today I just want your relatives to gather together. I didn't want to mention the past. It's hard for me to do this. Everything Li Qing did before was a crime of rebellion and would never be forgiven! You know this better than me. Back then, your army had been in a stalemate in Pingzhou for more than half a year, and you almost died in that war. Did you forget so quickly? Brother, now I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I must not tolerate the charges of rebellion. The saying that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people is definitely not just a saying. Let Li Qing go, how can I control others in the future?"

"To put it nicely, isn't it just to get rid of my thorn?" Li Qing, who was standing beside him, suddenly sneered.

Li Ming's eyes turned cold and he was about to shout, but he heard Princess Changle, who had not spoken before.

"Brother, the emperor is right. My sister knows that she is guilty, so she has already prepared to commit suicide. Don't make things difficult for the emperor anymore. What he said makes sense. The prince committed the same crime as the common people, let alone the ordinary crimes we committed? It is my greatest happiness to see my brother this time. I hope my brother will take care of himself in the future and don't worry about us two royal traitors."

Speaking of this, Princess Changle actually left her seat and walked to Li Song to kneel down, her eyes full of tears.

Not only Li Song, but even Li Qing was stunned. No one expected that Princess Changle would say this. Her words were equivalent to blocking Li Song's request for mercy for Li Ming, and liberating Li Ming from the embarrassment.

Only Li Ming knew that Princess Changle did this purely to sell her favor. As early as the border of the Great Soviet Union, he had promised to spare her life, so she herself knew that she had no worries about her life. Saying this way was like a favor changed to Li Ming, which allowed Li Ming to temporarily get rid of the embarrassing situation in front of her.

"Little sister...you...you really think so? Don't do this, my brother loves you the most before. Although you have done something wrong, how can I bear to watch you die? Don't say that, let me do something for you." Li Song recovered and said to Princess Changle with a sad face.

"Brother, my little sister has completely regretted it. Please don't plead for me anymore. For my own selfish desires, thousands of innocent people have died. I really have no choice but to die. Brother, don't plead for us, okay?" Princess Changle said this, with deep regret on her face, as if she really wanted to repent her sins.

Li Song was speechless immediately. He looked at Princess Changle who was kneeling in front of him with a dull look, and could not say a word.

A long laugh came from Li Qing's mouth. He suddenly stood up, looked at Li Ming with disdain on his face, and shouted: "Li Ming! I am truly admired you now! I am so arrogant and intelligent, but I didn't expect that I would meet you, the opponent in my previous life, and lose to you. I am convinced! Even you can conquer me, my little sister, really make me feel inferior. Okay, now I have seen you, and I have no regrets in this life. Li Ming, take me away."

"No!" Li Song screamed sadly, grabbed Li Ming's arm and stood up: "Second brother! Don't give up, brother will let you survive."

"No need!" Li Qing smiled miserably, stared at Princess Changle on the ground, and said, "I'm not a loss if I can go to the underworld with my younger sister. My younger sister, why are you kneeling there? Let's go together, don't make my elder brother sad anymore."

Speaking of this, he turned around and was about to go out, but when he walked to the door, he stopped. After he hesitating there, he slowly turned his head and looked at Li Song and smiled: "Brother, don't be sad for me. Instead of being imprisoned for a lifetime, it's better to die happily. I, Li Qing, can't live a weak life, so you should not be sad for me. Li Ming, did you let me go out alone?"

Li Ming sighed lightly, but felt relieved in his heart. He looked at Li Song who was heartbroken and whispered: "Take Li Qing away."

Two secret guards suddenly appeared, Li Qing, who had raised the door, quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. Li Song was anxious and was about to chase him out, but was hugged by Princess Changle who was kneeling in front of him.

"Brother, don't send us there anymore. Just come to our grave often to sautum incense." Princess Changle's face was extremely sad. If Li Ming didn't know her true thoughts, she would be moved by her.

Li Song hugged Princess Changle and shouted to Li Ming: "You can't let it go, sister? She is just a woman. Can't you just open the door? Li Ming, why are you so cruel? Why do you kill all my relatives?" He was already crying at this point.

Li Ming sighed lightly, looked at Princess Changle with complicated eyes, and whispered: "Brother, I really can't bear to see you so sad. Let's do this. Today I will let Li Yan go. If you love her so much, I can't bear to separate you brothers and sisters."

Although Li Ming's voice was small, Li Song actually caught it sensitively. He suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Ming with tears on his face, and asked repeatedly: "What did you say? Say it again? I heard it right? Have you let the little sister go? Did you?"

A wry smile appeared on Li Ming's face and replied: "Yes, although Li Yan's crime is unforgivable, I don't have the heart to make you so sad. Let her be here to accompany you, so that I feel a little better. However, I don't want my elder brother to mention Li Qing's affairs again."

Li Song let out a long sigh and nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, of course, it's good to keep my younger sister. Li Ming, my good brother, I'm not wrong with you! Thank you, thank you so much."

Looking at the sincere expression on Li Song's face and the cunning gaze in Princess Changle's eyes, Li Ming really didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
