The car was driving slowly in the manor.
Inside the car, there was an almost frozen silence.
Looking at Li Xi's calm face, Bai Qingqian couldn't say a word for a long time.
Li Tianlan's life experience.
This may be the only problem she has been worried about or even a little afraid of in recent years.
There is no way to describe her inner feelings.
In recent years, Li Tianlan and the Dongcheng family have been getting closer and closer. Bai Qingqian feels very happy, but she is also a little scared. She doesn't know how to face the returning child, and she doesn't dare to think what kind of reaction he will have when he knows his life experience.
complain? Resentment? Apathy? Or something else.
This question she thought again and again, watching Li Tianlan closer and closer to the answer, she is looking forward to the arrival of this day, but also in fear of the arrival of this day.
She knows what Li Tianlan has noticed.
Perhaps it was the clues of the past years, or the undisguised preference of the Dongcheng family and the Bai family for him that made him aware of something.
However, Li Tianlan did not say anything, and even occasionally showed an attitude of rejecting this topic.
But in addition, his attitude towards the Dongcheng family has not changed. He is called the invincible Minister of Dongcheng and his aunt. He is polite and respectful, but there is no obvious alienation.
Bai qingshallow some distressed, but the heart is also gradually settle down.
She thinks that Li Tianlan may not be able to accept these things for a while. She thinks that the time is not mature enough, so the truth is clearly in front of her, but both sides turn a blind eye to it. Maybe in a few years or more, she will slowly tell Li Tianlan the truth, in the most peaceful way
But Bai Qingqian didn't expect that Lixi would directly pierce this layer of window paper, which is almost nonexistent but has great significance.
Dongcheng Wudi held the steering wheel tightly and laughed bitterly.
He has no way to blame Lixi, and Lixi has no obligation to keep secret for them. Moreover, it seems that there is nothing to keep secret
"He... You..."
After a long time, Bai Qingqian's confused voice rang: "er... Er... Did he say anything?"
"No
Li Xi shook her head: "he knew it a long time ago."
"So
The innocent body trembled gently: "he still won't forgive us?"
"No
Li Xi shakes her head and thinks about the dialogue with Li Tianlan: "he doesn't hate you, so there's no forgiveness. He says that no matter Li or Dongcheng family, there's nothing wrong with him. He says that now, it's actually very good. There's no need to deliberately explain anything."
Lixi was silent and began to smile: "he is your majesty now. Maybe he is still very young in his twenties. Maybe in your eyes, he is still a child. But now he is one of the most powerful people in the world, and even has no one. He stands at the peak of personal force. With the rapid development of the East Palace, He also has unimaginable power and wealth. Now he can do whatever he wants. As long as he wants, there is nothing he can't do or get... "
"If he had nothing when he just appeared in Huating a few years ago, maybe if you tell him the truth, he would be resentful, unacceptable and hysterical... But now he has almost everything. Today, he is given by Dongcheng family and Li family. Standing at his height, what else can't be seen? If he doesn't explain it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know it. If he knows it and is willing to have family contacts with Dongcheng, it means that he has already seen it. If he doesn't explain it, it's because he doesn't bother to worry about it. At the same time, he doesn't want to make you feel guilty. "
"Now, it's actually very good. Just because he doesn't call you mom and dad doesn't mean he's not their son."
Lixi suddenly thought of something and asked, "do you know why he went to Kunlun city to bring back Lixi?"
"Why?"
Dongcheng invincible asked subconsciously.
"It's not because of the strength I might be able to recover."
Lixi said slowly, "it's my choice to join the east palace. He promised to help me fight Gu Xingyun, just because he said I'm his mother."
Li Xi was silent for a while, and then she began to smile in a complicated way: "mother in law, is she also a mother?"
"So, thank you very much. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years. Later, I learned that Dongcheng family had done a lot of things secretly after the collapse of Li family. If it wasn't for you, Li's fate would be even worse. If it wasn't for you, it's very likely that they couldn't live... If..."
Her voice gradually sank and she was dazed.
More than 20 years ago, Dongcheng family was also the most influential family in Zhongzhou. At that time, Dongcheng Hanguang was the executive vice minister of Zhongzhou military department and one of the directors of Zhongzhou Parliament.
Although there was one more vice word, Zhongzhou didn't have the post of executive minister at that time. Therefore, Dongcheng Hanguang's post at that time was equal to Dongcheng's invincible post now. It ranked third among the members of the parliament, deep-rooted and powerful.
Li's collapse was too sudden.
The southeast group is full of ups and downs, while the Gu family is struggling to rise under great pressure. The Dongcheng family secretly and easily smoothed out some things and concealed some truth.
Such as Dongcheng and Li Tianlan.
For so many years, Gu Xingyun didn't even know about it. He always thought that Lixi and Li's daughter had died.
For the origin of Li Tianlan, maybe he is not sure what he is up to now.
If there were no Dongcheng family, things would not be like this at all. Even Lixi killed it by himself in those years. Maybe it was Dongcheng. Where is the story now?
"Don't think they are good people, they are selfish too!"
The white pure shallow cold mouth way, ruthlessly glared one eye east city invincible.
Although the relationship between husband and wife has been reconciled, when it comes to this topic, her inner resentment and grievances suddenly surge up. It's not pleasant to see how Dongcheng invincible looks.
Dongcheng invincible cough, driving, guilty, slow as a turtle.
In the final analysis, what happened in those years was actually a transaction, without any other purpose.
Dongcheng family's development in those years has already reached the bottleneck period or the peak period they can reach. After the peak period, it is bound to be a declining stage and become the actual leader of the military headquarters. Dongcheng Hanguang has spared no effort, but the rich group is different from other groups. This is a loose group tending to alliance, and the internal cohesion is seriously insufficient, Most of the time, when the external situation is not good, we already feel the internal constraints.
Of course, the main body of the powerful group is Zhongzhou, with Dongcheng, Bai and Zou as the mainstay. However, other powerful groups have various relationships with the major groups. In terms of scale, the powerful group ranks first among the six groups, but it has almost never made the same voice.
At that time, the three pillars of the rich family group were eager for change, but they couldn't find any opportunities at all.
The biggest problem is that there is no real strong man in the Dongcheng family, which is the most powerful family in the military.
At that time, the peak force of Zhongzhou was also the peak force of the dark world, which has been the case for hundreds of years.
Li's family and Wang's family in Beihai have always been the top of individual force in Zhongzhou.
Even if the Dongcheng family has cultivated yaochi, it can't guarantee that every generation has an invincible master. Even if it's lucky that someone has entered the invincible, he is still a younger brother in front of Li and Beihai.
Personal force often does not represent anything, but more often it clearly represents something.
The position of a patron saint of war can already explain some problems.
This position represents great power, but it also represents extreme force.
Absolute personal strength represents absolute prestige. Today's Wang family in Beihai is a giant that slowly changes into shape after personal strength reaches its peak.
A real peak invincible situation means that the strength in numerous disputes is related to many unseen prestige, interests, diplomatic relations and executive power. If the Dongcheng family had an invincible force that could compete with the Li family and Beihai, the whole Dongcheng family and even the powerful group would go further, Become a super large group that can really be on an equal footing with Southeast group.
And the collapse of the Li family gave the Dongcheng family an opportunity.
Li Honghe needs to keep Li's last strength as another card.
The Dongcheng family is eager to seize this opportunity to cultivate a real top strong man.
Yao Chi can't cultivate such a strong man.
Li is the most suitable candidate.
So the deal was made in the instant of contact.
The grandson of Dongcheng family became Li Honghe's grandson and Li Tianlan.
Li's granddaughter became the granddaughter of the Dongcheng family, which was the case with Dongcheng.
For the sake of future integration, the two sides adopt the oldest but often the most effective way.
to unite to marriage.
From that moment on, that pair of boys and girls who were born on the same day in the same year had already been hindered.
Li Honghe has no reservation for Li Tianlan. All the inheritance of the Li family goes all out to cultivate them. The Dongcheng family is also not stingy to Dongcheng. Both sides treat their two children as if they were their own, just waiting for them to grow up and get married smoothly.
At that time, Li's power became the power of Dongcheng family.
The power of Dongcheng family will be the cornerstone of Li's rise.
From that moment on, Dongcheng family and Li family have put their future on their two children.
This is a deal.
Up to now, because of various factors, this transaction has slightly deviated, but in general, the general direction has not changed.
Li's rise again.
With the rise of Li family and the establishment of the East Palace, the new group will also become an important turning point for the three pillars of the rich group to seek changes.
One of the things that may have been wronged is Li Tianlan, who has lost his son's innocence and suffered a lot from childhood to adulthood.
Li Tianlan has got something.
And Bai Qingqian?
Li Xi looked at Bai Qingqian in a dazed way. After a long time, she reached out and held her hand. She said in a soft voice, "thank you."
"I..."
Bai Qingqian shook his head: "I don't need to thank you. After all, in my heart, this is also my daughter..."
She looked straight at Li Xi, and her voice pleaded: "if you really want to join the east palace... My only request is that you can help me take care of my son."
"Like he said."
Li Xi soft voice way: "that is also my son."
Son in law is also a son.
Bai Qingqian bit his lips and nodded his head.
"If you can, I really want to wait for the moon god to wake up and watch them get married and their children..."
There was a slight sound of separation.
"Luna?"
Bai Qingqian asked.
"Ah."
Li Xi smiles: "this is the name Li lunatic and I got for her before he was born, Li Yueshen, but... Such a name is also very good."
"Name..."
Innocent, dazed.
"Tianlan, do you have a name, too?"
Li Xi asked tentatively.
Almost every parent will name their children before they are born.
"Yes."
Lixi's smile is a little bitter. She and Dongcheng Wudi naturally named Li Tianlan in those years, but now, the name is almost meaningless.
Li Tianlan, after all, is Li Tianlan.
Dongcheng Wudi sighed, his eyes twinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he stopped the car and said in a soft voice, "we also took a good name at that time. At that time, Qingqian was just four months pregnant."
Shaking his head, Dongcheng Wudi said, "his name is Dongcheng Huangtu."
