Changsun Chong, who was in his thirties, no longer had the impulse he used to be. Waiting all night made him look much haggard. The first thing he did when he entered Li Chengqian’s study was to pull all the curtains open and then sit diagonally opposite him: “Gao Ming, look open, no one wants to see this kind of thing. Changle has gone, you can’t drag yourself down any longer.”

"I'll talk about Changle's affairs later." Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun and did not explain Changle's affairs in detail to him. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You have to keep a close eye on the Byzantines during this period. Since those bastards want to make trouble, we have to teach them a lesson."

"Gao Ming, do you want to start a war with Byzantium?" Changsun Chong keenly found the point in Li Chengqian's words and asked nervously.

"What's wrong with starting a war? Go and do it. In addition, you should pay attention to the movements of the Great Cannibal. As for the others who follow them to do whatever they want, they don't need to pay attention to them as long as it's not too much."

Changsun Chong hesitated for a moment, but considering that Li Chengqian must be in a bad mood now, he didn't say much, agreed and stood up and left, thinking that he would persuade him to do some time in the future.

"Xiaobai, come here." When the matter was arranged, Li Chengqian called Bai Yuening to his side again: "Go and find all the people who are talking about the five surnames and Qiwang in Chang'an. I have something to talk to them."

Xiaobai nodded, but did not leave immediately. He looked at Li Chengqian deeply: "Your Majesty, you...you should take a break. You haven't had a night of rest. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to hold on."

"My body is not that bad yet, go and do it!" Li Chengqian's mouth twitched, and forced a smile, sighed and murmured with a long sigh, "You must seize the time to reduce the impact of this matter to the end, otherwise even if that girl comes back, she will be unable to be a human being."

"Yes, I'll inform the heads of the aristocratic families now." Bai Yuening knew that it could not change Li Chengqian's will, and her expression slightly darkened, and she lowered her head and retreated.

...

"Xiaoye, do you think... am I very failed?" Li Chengqian looked at the dark golden floor tiles under his feet, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Ye Mei looked at Li Chengqian's decadent appearance and felt a little sour in her heart, and sighed, "Your Majesty, this matter is beyond the reach of mankind!"

But Li Chengqian seemed to have not heard Ye Mei's words and still maintained his just posture: "I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Emperor of the World, but I cannot even protect my sister. Haha... Is this the legendary gains and losses?"

Ye Mei said that she was the guard who had been with Li Chengqian for the longest time, and she had been around for a long time, and although nothing earth-shaking happened between the two, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings after more than ten years of contact.

So Li Chengqian's despair was seen in Ye Mei's eyes, and his heart felt a little thrilling. The feeling that had been pressing on his heart could no longer be controlled. He turned around and came to him, bent his knees and squatted down, grabbed one of his hands, and a strange light flashed in his narrow eyes: "Gao, Gao Ming, you can't blame the eldest princess for the matter. No one would have thought that the eldest princess would have such an idea. Even if the Supreme Emperor came, it would not be better than you."

Li Chengqian did not show any strangeness because of Ye Mei's different performance. He smiled miserably and said, "Xiao Ye, Changle is my sister! I don't want to hide it from you now. I am half sure that Changle can survive again, but..., but how should I face her in the future?! She was like that yesterday... what will the world say about her! If the father and mother come back in the future, how can I tell them?"

Ye Mei listened to Li Chengqian's similar whispering, just as he felt that his spirit was on the verge of collapse, holding the idea of ​​not wanting to be stimulated anymore, and followed him: "But there will always be a solution. The most important thing at the moment is your body. You don't want the eldest princess to come back in the future, but you find that your body is collapsed, right?"

"Then help me, I know you all have the means to make people lose consciousness." Li Chengqian turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Mei without any joking intentions.

Ye Mei saw a scent of seeking relief in his eyes, sighed secretly in his heart, raised his hand and pressed it to the side of Li Chengqian's neck.

After a while, Li Chengqian, who was highly nervous, finally became drowsy due to insufficient blood supply to his brain, and finally his eyes fainted slightly.

...

Such a big thing happened at the opening ceremony of the polo tournament, and the following activities were left to nothing. Everyone was seriously warned and then dismissed.

But no matter what, the matter between Changle and Li Chengqian spread uncontrollably.

For a moment, the entire Chang'an exploded instantly. All the major families and gentry who regarded themselves as literati leaders jumped up and stood at the highest point of morality to denounce the evil behavior of the royal family.

Unlike those literati leaders, the rumors in the market say that everything is not unified in thought. Some people think that the eldest princess dares to love and hate, and love itself is innocent. Besides, there is nothing between the brother and sister. If it is just simple love, it seems that nothing is there.

Others agree with the arguments of those literary leaders, believing that this is against human ethics and that this relationship should not exist at all.

In short, there are many different opinions at the time, and there is no consensus.

As for those foreign countries, this matter has nothing to do with them. The smarter ones simply keep silent, as if this thing had never happened. The stupid ones just regretted Changle's ending, feeling that she was too hasty to end her life so easily.

Only in the main hall of Xuandu Temple in Chang'an City, all the lights were not turned off all night, and a group of old Taoists sat together with frowns, as if waiting for some news.

The old Taoist Qin Feng has become dissatisfied in the past few years. He looks like a candle in the wind, but his old eyes are still bright. If there is no accident, he will obviously be able to live for many years.

But beside him, Yuan Shoucheng was still the same, and he could not see any changes from before.

As for Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, they were all juniors in front of these two old Taoists, and could only stand behind them honestly.

But among these old Taoist priests, there was a Taoist nun who could not tell her age. She had a childish face and a clean face, which was exactly the legendary Shui Yue who had never been exposed!

??It's not dawn yet, so it can be counted as yesterday.
