The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 789 Li Yan's Plan

And Shi Nayun and Li Ke’s relationship was not that deep to begin with, after all, they were in a long-distance relationship?

Coupled with Li Ke's ruthless abandonment, it was a heavy blow to Ashina Yun. If Li Yan had not intervened, there might have been a chance to turn the situation around after some explanation.

But now Ashina Yun is pregnant with Li Chengqian's child, there is no turning back, and there is only one way to go.

Instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to make a decisive choice.

Ashina Yun had no choice but to cut off the last connection with Li Ke in his heart. He was half-hearted, and thinking about the brief time he had spent with the young prince, Li Yan seemed not bad either.

As time went by, she slowly changed her mind and put her heart on Li Yan.

When his mentality changed, he learned that Li Yan had already married, and he was a little overwhelmed. But Tuli was mature enough, and the two sides had a common fruit, so it didn't matter whether Li Shimin came or not, and he tricked Li Yan into coming by forming an alliance.

Find a result for my daughter’s matter.

"So that's how it is. If I had known this would happen, I would have definitely informed my father and canceled Hou Junji's engagement and asked the Khan to marry the princess." Li Yan's eyes were gleaming with excitement, and he sighed in his heart, this is the benefit of having a fait accompli!

He had to admit it and even take the initiative to express his feelings. Ashina Yun also had to change his words, put Li Ke in a situation of "misunderstanding" and distance himself from the matter!
We are all adults and are at the center of power. We all know what choices to make to maximize our interests.

The wood will sink the boat, and the rice will be cooked.

Both of them will create conditions for their future relationship, and a beautiful and happy life and emotional integration also need to be paved with the providence of "destined to meet each other despite the distance", rather than one being "calculating" and the other being "forced".

That's the kind of result that no one wants to see.
Li Yan has experienced three lifetimes and is no longer easily moved.

He also knew that emotions could be subject to reason, especially women's emotions, which were more dominated by their subconscious.

As long as you tell yourself every day that you like someone, you will naturally fall in love with him/her; but if you hint to yourself every day that you hate the other person, even if you are husband and wife, you will eventually go your separate ways.

Li Yan is confident that he can make the child's mother fall in love with the child's father.

Gently stroking Ashina Yun's slightly bulging belly, Li Yan felt complacent in his heart. My son is really strong. Help your father to take your mother away.

Ashina Yun gave Li Yan a coquettish look, and a hint of coquettishness flashed in her slightly blue pupils. Although she knew that Li Yan was speaking in a cheap way, she was still immersed in the feeling of being valued by Li Yan, and her expression became happy.

"Sister Yun, calculate the time, it has been more than three months."

"Well, it's been almost four months." Ashina Yun said in a low voice.

Li Yan took Ashina Yun into his arms and said with natural concern, "I heard that at the beginning, the fetus was unstable and had strong reactions. It couldn't eat or sleep well. Did our child bother you?"

Ashina Yun's body stiffened slightly, as if she was not used to being so close to another "strange man". However, thinking about their relationship, she did not reject or resist too much. She took two quick breaths, and slowly leaned her head on Li Yan's shoulder following Li Yan's rhythm.

"It's okay now, not very obvious. The experienced ams in the tribe all said that it will take four or five months for the fetus to have violent movements."

"Although the appearance of this child is a coincidence, my father Khan is very fond of him and is very happy. He said that this is a gift from the Eternal Heaven and he will raise him to adulthood. If he is a boy, he will inherit my father Khan's legacy."

"So, whether you recognize him or not, I want to give birth to him."

Li Yan said decisively: "How could that be? As long as it is my child, I will recognize it. I will report to my father and marry you as a concubine. This way it will be legal and legitimate."

"Can"

Seeing Ashina Yun struggling and feeling awkward, Li Yan was startled: "What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"

Ashina Yun shook his head, hesitated for a long time, and looked at Li Yan cautiously: "But my father Khan only has me as his daughter. He originally wanted Shu Wang Li Ke because he was only a prince, and planned to let him live on the grassland."

"But you are the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. You cannot come to the grassland no matter what."

"If I marry you, even if I am the daughter-in-law of the Li family, I will have to live in Chang'an. Then my father will be left alone without even a bloodline."

Li Yan was immediately happy, stretched out his hand and pinched Ashina Yun's cute nose, and said lovingly: "Then what do you want? Tell me, I will listen to you."

"I"

"Can I not go to Chang'an and live on the grasslands, and... live with my children and my father Khan?"

Ashina Yun tentatively asked timidly, and then looked at Li Yan anxiously. She knew that her request was a bit excessive, and was afraid that Li Yan would refuse.

"Why not? Of course you can!" "Really!"

Ashina Yun's face instantly broke into a smile of joy, and she jumped up in Li Yan's arms like a lively lark. She couldn't help but put her arms around Li Yan's neck and kissed Li Yan's face twice.

She stretched out a white finger and said with certainty, as if she was afraid that Li Yan would go back on his word: "It's agreed. You promised it yourself. You are not allowed to go back on your word."

"Of course, Sister Yun's position in my heart is irreplaceable. No matter what conditions you put forward, I will agree to you." After leaving Chang'an, Li Yan felt as if the shackles in his heart had been removed, and his mood became relaxed.

Ashina Yun rolled her eyes and said in a tender voice, "Don't talk big. If I ask you to stay on the grassland, are you willing?"

"Of course, if Sister Yun is willing to take me in, it's okay for me to stay on the grassland."

Ashina Yun was stunned, staring at Li Yan, then his face slowly froze, and finally tears slowly accumulated in his eyes. He said tearfully: "Do you think I am a barbarian who has never seen the world and I will believe everything you say?"

"Or maybe you just don't take me seriously at all, so no matter what I ask for, you don't care, and you just perfunctorily respond anyway."

Li Yan suddenly became anxious: "How could that be? Look, if I reject you, you will be even more sad and think that I don't care about you."

Li Yan pulled Ashina Yun and sat beside the bed. He reached out and wiped away the crystal tears from her light blue eyes. Then he explained, "Sister Yun, you don't know. Others see me as the high and mighty crown prince, with a noble status, above everyone else."

"But such an identity is so heavy for a teenager."

Li Yan also began to be hypocritical: "I have heavy homework every day, and I also have to participate in important court affairs. If I make the slightest mistake, I will be doubted by everyone. My father and mother have very high expectations of me, and my brothers are regarded as thorns in my eyes and flesh."

"I was slandered and defamed in every possible way. Whenever I got the chance, I would set up traps and suppress others. Facing the eager expectations of my father, mother, and the ministers in the court, as well as the disloyalty of my brothers, I lived like a bird in a cage. I was not happy."

At this point, Li Yan's face darkened, and he said in a gentle and persuasive way, "If Tuli Khan really wants to keep me in the grassland on the pretext of marriage, even if it's only for a few years, I can live freely for a while."

"I only have the chance to be happy, how can I be sad?"

Well.
Upon hearing this, Ashina Yun thought back to his previous encounters with Li Ke, and how Li Ke had shown disdain and contempt for the prince, and he wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible.

But Li Shimin's princes had just grown up. Under the eyes of everyone, how bad could they be? How useless could they be? Li Ke, as the eldest and second son, had this kind of hatred towards his brother, the crown prince.

How much better can others be?

To put it bluntly, it was because the young man in front of him was the target of public criticism, which aroused the covetousness and resentment of many of his younger brothers.

"Are you really willing to stay on the grassland?"

Thinking of this, a gentle light emanated from Ashina Yun's eyes.

He looked at Li Yan thoughtfully and said, "You should know that you are the crown prince. If you stay out for a long time, it may shake your position. That is the position of crown prince. You will inherit the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Li Yan shook his head and said bitterly, "In fact, I don't have much ambition. I don't care about who will rule the country. I just want to have a close friend to accompany me, to ride on the vast grassland during the day, and to sleep with my wife and children at night."

"A happy family is the life I desire most."

Ashina Yun stared at Li Yan for a long time, thinking for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, the representative of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuansu, came to my father's tent to discuss the alliance between the two sides to deal with Jie Li."

"He will come again in two days. If you really want to stay on the grassland, I will ask my father Khan to propose that you stay on the grassland for ten years. After ten years, you can return to the Tang Dynasty freely. What do you think?"

At this point, Ashina Yun took the initiative to lean on Li Yan's arms, her white hands caressing Li Yan's chest, and said gently: "I don't expect you to stay in the grassland forever. If you can stay with me for ten years, even if you leave at that time."

"I still have my children to be with, and my father Khan can be comforted."

"If you never go back, even if I am willing, my father Khan and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not agree. However, the Emperor is still young, and I think he will be able to accept it in ten years. You have sacrificed ten years to win over the Turks for the Tang Dynasty, and the court will not depose you from the position of Crown Prince for this reason."

"When the time comes, you can move forward or backward as you wish. Even if I follow you back to Chang'an, my father will not say anything."

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, for he knew that although Tuli looked strong and vigorous, he would not live long.

Historically, Tuli died due to health reasons a few years after the Battle of Dingxiang.

The Turkic Khan Jieli was detained in the Central Plains, and the Second Khan Tuli suddenly died, leaving the grassland without a master, which gave Yinan, a leader, the opportunity to become powerful. Otherwise, with the pressure from the Second Khan Tuli, it would never be the turn of Yinan, a young tribal leader, to stand out.
