GBP Chapter 142 Paradox
Chapter 142 Paradox
If Prince Ning Li Chengqi and Princess Taiping had already formed an alliance, then why did Princess Taiping end up in failure and death, while Li Chengqi was able to die of old age?
Jiang Feng thought about it and blurted out: "One day, when the crown prince ascends the throne, he may be able to show leniency to His Royal Highness Prince Ning, but he will never be lenient to the queen!"
Li Longye nodded and said, "That night, when we killed Wei, Shangguan Wan'er came to us brothers with the imperial edict in her hand. But my third brother didn't even let her speak, and killed her with one knife!"
Jiang Feng didn't know what Li Longye meant by this sentence.
Li Longye went on to say: "After Zhongzong's death, Shangguan Wan'er repeatedly showed goodwill to my father and me, and insisted on persuading Wei to let my father govern the country, and even directly drafted an imperial edict and sent it to the Secretariat."
Shangguan Wan'er was a typical political opportunist who would attach herself to whoever had the most power. During the Wu Zetian period, she had an unclear relationship with Wu Sansi. When Li Xian ascended the throne, she became his concubine. After Li Xian's death, it was not surprising that she attached herself to Li Dan, who was in a strong position.
Jiang Feng sighed and said, "If she were a man, she would definitely be able to fight and carve out a bigger world!"
Li Longye knew that Jiang Feng always had a natural respect and sympathy for women.
In her opinion, Empress Wu, Princess Taiping, and even Anle and Shangguan Wan'er were all qualified to be emperor.
Because they are women, they lose some of the same opportunities as men, which is unfair.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Jiang Feng sighed like this.
Li Longye just said: "At that time, Shangguan could be killed or not. But my third brother hated women who took power."
Jiang Feng's heart moved slightly, and he said, "So, Princess Taiping has already touched the prince's reverse scale?"
Even if she tried to stop herself, Li Longji would definitely give her a finishing touch and kick her off the cliff!
Li Longye nodded.
Jiang Feng gnashed his teeth and said, "The people who killed the queen in Zhongnan Mountain are really hateful!"
It was because of that incident that Princess Taiping embarked on the path of no return in fighting with Li Longji.
But now it seems that Prince Ning is definitely involved.
However, the strange thing is that when the crown prince was not yet appointed, Li Chengqi was fully capable of competing for the position, so why did he give up the throne three times?
As a mature and ambitious eldest son, Jiang Feng didn't believe that his ambition only developed after Li Longji was appointed crown prince.
Why? He won over Princess Taiping and stood against Li Longji.
Li Longye didn't want her to have anything to do with Princess Taiping anymore, so after returning to Chang'an from Luoyang, she had an earnest talk with Princess Taiping: if she was determined to go against the prince, then let Jiang Feng go back, so that she wouldn't be caught in the middle.
Princess Taiping did not comment at the time, but she cut ties with Jiang Feng the next day.
Thinking of this, Li Longye said: "Those who can stand in the chess game are not innocent. Can't Afeng see through it?"
A word to wake up the dreamer.
Everyone has their own choices and can bear the consequences independently.
She just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.
But Princess Taiping, and even Yuan Ying, were different from her.
They are unwilling to swallow their anger and must live brilliantly and dazzlingly, and can face bloody failures.
If we only look at it from the current perspective, we may not be right and they may not be wrong.
She is not a savior and cannot save anyone.
She almost lost her life just because she extended a helping hand to Dou Ding.
So, she smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. No chess piece can be too demanding of the chess player."
Li Longye didn't want to involve her in this matter anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "I see that you don't have a very good relationship with Dou Ding, and you even hate him. Why did you help him today?"
"It's just a woman's kindness. Even though I looked down on him when he was arrogant, I couldn't bear to drive him out when he fell from grace!" Jiang Feng said.
In the 21st century, this kind of behavior is called "sacred heart", which is a definitely derogatory term.
"Everyone in the world admires the strong, but you cherish the weak. Young lady is truly a saint." Li Longye said.
Even a fool could hear the mockery in Jiang Feng's words, so he pointed at Li Longye's wound and said, "Your Highness might as well say that I can't tell good from evil and right from wrong. Now it seems that the weak are not necessarily good people, and they can stab others just as well! I regret it now!"
A few words coaxed Li Longye's jealousy away.
Suddenly, Ah Shu was heard outside saying, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."
Jiang Feng quickly stood up from the low table and tried to hide in the cubicle, but Li Longye grabbed her and said, "Why are you hiding? It's right here."
Jiang Feng waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."
Not to mention that they were alone, they would have to take off their clothes and change their medicine. If she didn't leave, did she want to watch a movie? !
Li Longye still held her hand and said, "How did I take care of you in the past? I must have discussed the use of medicine with the doctor and personally tested and fed the medicine. But you avoided it like a flood or a beast. Are you an ungrateful person?"
Jiang Feng really had nothing to refute. No matter the time when Qiu Shan was poisoned or when Cheng An pushed him into the water, Li Longye took care of him and made him very sad.
Seeing that she was not leaving, Li Longye said, "Come in."
Soon, Ah Shu came in with two imperial doctors. When Li Longye saw them, he said, "I'm sorry to trouble Imperial Doctor Zhou to take care of my injury."
The leading imperial physician bowed and said, "This is my duty. Your Highness, I am sorry to hear you say this."
After hearing this, Li Longye stopped talking.
Doctor Zhou saw this and hurried forward a few steps. He saw a girl with bright eyes and a charming look standing in front of Li Longye's bed. He thought, "Why is she here?"
He did not dare to pay too much attention to the prince. He took his pulse, changed the medicine and took the medicine in one go. He left in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Jiang Feng sighed and said, "I thought the one who treated the prince must be about the same age as Old Man Sun. He would feel more at ease when he was older."
The implication is that a man without any knowledge of the subject cannot do things with confidence. Is this young imperial physician reliable?
Li Longye looked at Jiang Feng with a wicked smile and said, "Others don't know, but Zhou Guang is an excellent doctor."
Jiang Feng said: "I didn't expect that Doctor Zhou has such medical skills at such a young age. I am too narrow-minded."
Li Longye pulled her right hand over and saw a large burn scar on the girl's delicate palm. He rubbed it with his index finger and said distressedly: "The medical skills are so good, but it still leaves a scar."
Jiang Feng thought about how badly she had been bullied by him. The burns on her hands and the bites on her shoulders almost cost her her life.
Seeing that he had the nerve to bring up the past again, he took the opportunity to sneer: "Your Majesty is so cruel, I'm afraid there is a miracle doctor in the world..."
wrong! wrong!
"When I was sick that day, was it Doctor Zhou who went to see me?!" Jiang Feng pulled his hand away and asked with a red face.
She only knew that Jiang Zuo asked the imperial physician to see her after she fainted, but she had no idea that they would meet here instead.
Li Longye leaned against the pillow, stared at Jiang Feng and said, "Zhou Guang and Shen Guxing are old friends, and they are also from the same school. Your elder brother must know him. I just don't know, when your life was hanging by a thread, was it Shen Guxing or your elder brother who invited him?"
