Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

As an emperor, Du He believed that Li Shimin was the greatest emperor, surpassing Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han and others.

Although Li Shimin had shortcomings such as killing his brother, imprisoning his father, and raping his sister-in-law, he also had many advantages.

Li Shimin did a particularly good job in sharing the joys and sorrows with his meritorious officials.

Li Shimin picked up the wine jar and said with a smile on his face.

"Du He, since you have some free time, why don't you accompany me for a drink today?"

"If you are drunk, I will have my servants take you back to your bedroom to rest."

"Let us drink from this cup together."

Du He's expression paused slightly, and then he drank the wine in the bottle.

He looked at Li Shimin with some worry, then bowed and tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body has not yet recovered. Is it bad to drink so much wine?"

It’s not that Du He cares about Li Shimin’s health, but he is afraid that something might happen to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin has been taking drugs these days. If Li Shimin dies from drinking too much, won't he be blamed?

At this moment, Sun Simiao stood up and said.

"Don't worry, Duke Han. Let His Majesty drink as much as he wants. It won't be a big problem."

Several other imperial doctors also responded and said that there would be no problem.

Li Shimin pointed at Du He and cursed with a smile on his face.

"You are such a coward, are you afraid that I will blackmail you?"

"Just drink it without worry. If anything happens to me, it has nothing to do with you."

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Du He finally felt relieved.

The banquet lasted another half hour.

In the end, both Li Shimin and Du He were drunk, and Concubine Yan Shufei ordered the banquet to end.

When Wu Meiniang saw that Li Junxian, Lai Ji and others were also drunk, she frowned and took the initiative to make a suggestion to Concubine Yan Shu.

"Empress Shufei, please have His Majesty returned to his chambers. I will have the palace maids escort Duke Han back."

"Duke Hanguo is drunk and unconscious. I have to ask the palace maids to look after him all night."

Concubine Yan Shu also knew that Du He was now in a high position and had great power. He was not only the emperor's favorite, but also the minister the prince relied on the most.

Du He is drunk now and he didn't bring his maid with him, so it's easy for something to happen.

So she nodded to Wu Meiniang and said with relief.

"Mei Niang is still very thoughtful."

...

starry night.

A time of complete silence.

The palace maid who took care of Du He left the bedroom, and half a quarter of an hour later, she came back with a basin of warm water.

But looking at the two people's figures, it is obvious that they are not the same person.

Although the palace maid who came later lowered her head, her graceful figure always gave people a sense of elegance and luxury.

Three hours later, the palace maid finally staggered out of Du He's bedroom.

Looking at the way she walked, her legs were shaking the whole time.

Outside the door.

Zhang Shizheng, Feng Shijin and other attendants were already dozing off, but Du Wu, who had remained awake, had an expression full of horror.

If he wasn't dazzled, the last person to leave was not a palace maid.

But the Queen...

Long live!

The queen broke into the master's room at night and left with strange steps.

Could it be that the master has been killed by the queen?

Thinking of this, Du Wu gently pushed open the door and walked in to take a look.

He found that the master was snoring and his robes were extremely messy.

"It's over!"

Du Wu's expression suddenly changed.

After he left the room, he sighed heavily again.

"Hey!"

If the master knew about this, would he blame them for not guarding properly?

Thinking of this, Du Wu's mood became extremely heavy.

...

The next day.

When the sun is three poles high.

Du He was awakened by the sound of birds singing.

"Suck~"

Feeling dizzy from a hangover, Du He pinched his eyebrows and took a breath of cool air.

After a few breaths, Du He found something wrong with his body.

"Why is my waist so sore?"

"Why does this feeling feel exactly the same as when I was drained by Li Yi and Yin Yushan?"

After muttering a few words, Du He's pupils suddenly dilated.

Did Wu Meiniang really do something to him while he was drunk?

"I rely on!"

"No way..."

Thinking of this, Du He sobered up instantly.

He quickly shouted: "Du Wu, come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Wu immediately opened the door and closed it again, then quickly walked up to Du He.

"master."

When he bowed, his eyes were a little evasive.

When Du He saw Du Wu's expression, he knew that he must know what was going on.

He propped himself up and sat up, asking in a deep voice.

"Say!"

"what happened!"

Facing Du He's questioning, Du Wu took two steps forward, then muttered everything that happened last night.

After listening.

Du He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Three hours!

No wonder my waist is so sore, it turns out that Wu Meiniang has been tormenting me for so long!

Du He said with a dark face: "Du Wu, you have been with me for so many years, how could you let her into my bedroom?"

"If His Majesty knew about this, we would all be beheaded!"

He was not joking. If Li Shimin found out that he had an affair with Wu Meiniang, even Li Chengqian would not be able to save his life.

Du Wu said with a bitter face, "Master, because it was too dark and the two maids were of similar stature, I didn't notice them right away."

"I noticed her steps were off, so I took a closer look at her..."

In fact, they were just negligent because there were a large number of imperial guards stationed outside the palace, and the one guarding Du He was the Empress's maid, so they were not vigilant against the maid.

Hey!

This is a big deal.

No matter how careful you are, you still can't prevent Wu Meiniang from using this trick.

I hope it was just a one-time thing last night and Wu Meiniang won’t get pregnant!

A moment of silence.

Du He asked in a deep voice, "Du Wu, who else knows about this?"

"My Lord, I am the only one who noticed it."

"Keep this matter to yourself!"

"promise."

Du Wu responded with a serious expression.

As Du He's loyal follower, Du Wu doesn't need to make too many promises.

If the master believes him, he can be safe even if he doesn't speak. If the master doesn't believe him, he will not survive tonight.

At this moment, the voice of Lai Ji, the interpreter, was heard outside the gate.

"Duke Hanguo, His Majesty has summoned you to the main hall for dinner."

"Okay." Du He responded, and then said, "I'll change into my official robes and go over."

Then he got up and changed into a set of official robes, and then spoke to Du Wu, who looked tired.

"You worked hard on the night watch last night. After you finish your meal, go back and have a good rest."

Du Wu clasped his fists in shame and replied, "Thank you, sir."

The master was extremely kind to him and rewarded him with a large amount of gold, silver and other valuables, but he failed to perform his duties at the critical moment.

It really shouldn’t be!

Du He walked out of the room and went to the main hall under the guidance of Lai Ji.

In addition to Li Shimin, Concubine Yan Shufei and Wu Meiniang were also in the hall.

"Greetings to His Majesty, Consort Shu, and Talented Lady Wu."

While paying his respects, Du He glanced at Wu Meiniang out of the corner of his eye and found that she secretly winked at him.

Her action made Du He frown again.

Li Shimin saw that Du He looked tired, so he smiled, stroked his beard and nodded.

"Du He, you look so pale just because you're hungover. You must be too weak."

"Practice riding and archery during this time to improve your physique."
