Half blood

The other three rushed forward when they saw it, and took the fallen three treasures into their arms. The three treasures fell into the arms of the leading brother and smiled slightly, saying: "Brother, go back and return to your command, and say that it was the three treasures that caused people to run away... so Brother will not be punished."

Li Xuan froze on the spot, but was awakened by a loud shout, and suddenly a high-pitched shout came from the upstairs window: "What are you doing, what are you doing, messing around under other people's house!" This loud shout woke Li Xuan up, He threw the bloody long sword on the ground, turned around and ran into the alley.

Heart-piercing cries came from behind, Li Xuan covered his ears and ran fast, but his footsteps seemed to never be faster than the piercing cries of the magic voice.

He didn't know where he was fleeing, and he followed the unconscious foot. He just ran like this, and finally fell down on the steps in front of a Zhumen Biwa.

Hearing the commotion, the guard hurried out. When he saw Li Xuan lying on the stairs, he was startled and exclaimed, "Isn't this, isn't this King An? How did you get into this state?" After getting down the stairs, he helped Li Xuan up.

When Li Xuan got up from the ground, he felt the world spinning for a while. He blinked, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and asked, "Where is this?"

The guard hurriedly replied: "It's Governor Li's house," then turned around and whispered to the stunned servant: "Go, go and call Governor Li."

Li Xuan murmured after hearing this: "So it's Governor Li's mansion, I'm home..."

Hearing the sound, Li Xiuqi came out in a hurry. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Xuan standing precariously under the steps in front of the door, half of his face was covered with blood.Li Xiuqi only felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to his forehead, and his heart seemed to forget to beat a beat. He hurriedly walked down the stairs, supported Li Xuan, and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

Li Xiuqi suddenly felt a hot spot under his palm, he lowered his eyes and saw that Li Xuanxuan's coat was covered with blood, but the blood was integrated with the black clothes, forming a slightly darker patch.

Li Xuan blinked his eyes, his lips twitched, and said: "The blood is not mine, I... I killed someone..."

Li Xuan was not a saint, he drank alcohol and ate meat, but this was his first time killing a living being, or the first time killing a living being with his own hands.Just like the wild cats who were poisoned to death in the south to save people, this time he killed a living person to save himself, and the blood of that person was sprayed on his body and his face like this On the ground, Li Xuan clenched his fists, not daring to wipe off the wet blood on his face, the blood just solidified on his face, like a scar that didn't belong to him.

Li Xiuqi whispered to the bewildered young servant: "You first report a letter to the people in Prince An's Mansion, saying that His Highness has returned safely, and let them not worry, King An will stay at our mansion today, and then go to prepare Come with clean clothes and bath water, and move quickly." The young man responded, and started to work in a hurry.

Li Xuan was immersed in the water, and a dense layer of water vapor rose from the bucket, enveloping him.Li Xuan immersed his body in the warm water without moving. The water didn't make any waves, but it just covered his body like this, which made him feel for a moment that it was a puddle of frozen blood.Li Xuan was startled by this thought, he took a deep breath, recovered from his mind wandering in nowhere, his Adam's apple moved up and down, he moistened the saliva from his dry throat and swallowed it.

Li Xiuqi sat behind the wooden barrel without saying anything or asking anything. With a warm towel, he carefully wiped the blood on Li Xuan's cheeks, neck, and chest through his clothes. do.Then he took a wooden comb, untied Li Xuan's hair crown, soaked it in water, and foamed it with soap horns.

"They were sent by Zhu Da, and they hate me for spoiling their plot by telling the truth." Li Xuan said suddenly, Li Xiuqi was slightly stunned, the wooden comb in his hand stopped, and asked, "How did they know?"

Li Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, no one knows about this matter except you and me and my father."

Li Xiuqi used the wooden comb to gently comb Li Xuan's long hair again, and said, "Think about it again? Who else was in the palace that day?"

"There was He Xiang in the palace that day," Li Xuan replied, "Although I couldn't see it clearly, there was indeed a person on the bed, and it should be He Xiang. But Father asked me to write the matter on paper, and then The paper is also burned, no one will know..."

Li Xiuqi lightly pressed the Baihe acupoint on the top of Li Xuan's head with his hands, and said: "Your Highness, don't think about it today, let's talk about something tomorrow, today you can just focus on sleeping."

"There's also Eunuch Li," Li Xuan said suddenly, "At that time he didn't let me in...Later, the emperor let me in after hearing what we said. It must be him, that's him."

Li Xiuqi said: "Your Highness, you are too tired today, don't think about it anymore, go to bed and rest, okay?" Wipe off the water droplets on the tip.

Li Xuan didn't make a sound, just submerged quietly in the water without moving.Li Xiuqi persuaded again: "Your Highness, the water is already cold..." His words stopped suddenly, because he saw tears in Li Xuan's eyes through the moonlight outside the window.

"Your Highness..."

"He just died in front of me...I didn't want him to die. The four of them besieged one of me. I couldn't escape, so I took a wounded hostage. I didn't expect him to hit me all at once. on the sword."

"Your Highness," Li Xiuqi embraced Li Xuan from behind, and said, "It's not your fault...it's not your fault." Li Xiuqi could feel the coldness on his cheek drop by drop, so he could only hug Li Xuan from behind like this , whispering over and over again: "It's not your fault..." Li Xuan reached out and hugged Li Xiuqi's arms around his neck, crying like a child.

There is another wedding in the palace, and this time the emperor married Wang Qing, the daughter of General Wang, and made him Concubine Qing.In order to show that the emperor never favored one another, the specifications and process of the wedding banquet were exactly the same as last time. The number of dishes served and the number of people invited were all the same, just to remind the two concubines that your status is the same and no one is higher than the other. Where to go.

The wedding banquet was scheduled for Lidong, and the heavenly palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons again. The banquet was not much different from last time, except that there was an extra He Xiang with golden hair beside the emperor.

Li Xuan looked up at his mother, and saw that she was more haggard and older than the last time he met, Li Xuan couldn't help feeling distressed, so he said to the queen: "Mother, the weather has turned cold these days, you should keep warm. "

The queen smiled slightly, her eyes raised fine lines, she said softly: "You really have grown up and become sensible."

Li Xuan squeezed out a smile, and said again: "Father, how will Father treat you after marrying Concubine Xiang?"

The chuckle on the queen's face froze, and the corners of her mouth forced up, and she replied: "It's still the same as before, but your father also has many things beyond his control."

It was involuntary again, Li Xuan didn't know how many times he heard such a helpless and ridiculous word.

It seems that no matter what bad things a person has done, as long as he can't help himself, he can be excused and get a good reputation: Oh, he can't help it, he can't help himself.Yes, my father is an involuntary concubine, he is involuntary to kill, but the people who are neglected by his father are so pitiful, and the people who are killed by him are so pitiful, and I have to laugh when I was stabbed , because they were killed involuntarily.

Li Xuandao: "Yes, father is involuntary. As long as father does not neglect mother, it will be fine."

While talking, suddenly there was commotion in front of him, Li Xuan raised his head, it turned out that He Xiang seemed to have eaten something, and retched a few times.He Xiang covered half of his small face with a veil, coquettishly coquettish with his father, and his father didn't seem to be very impatient, he just called an imperial doctor to her, and then Tell her to rest more.

He Xiang went down, but Li Xuan saw that all the members of He Xiang's family were happy. It seemed that He Xiang's illness was a great thing.

The imperial doctor came back, with a voice that was not too big or too small, just enough for everyone sitting here to hear, and said to Li Zhengya: "Your Majesty is happy."

The banquet was silent at first, after all, this matter came at a bit of an inopportune time.Today, Wang Qing was made a concubine, but He Xiang used this method to steal the limelight.

Everyone also knew in their hearts why the emperor married Zhu Qing after marrying He Xiang, just to make the two people have a balance in the harem, and then he would watch the tigers fight across the mountain and have a leisurely time.But now that Zhu Qing had just entered the door with one foot, He Xiang was pregnant with a dragon fetus.General Wang Wang Yuan's complexion was ashen, while the makeup on Wang Qing's face couldn't hold back the awkward smile on her lips.

I don't know who said: "Okay, okay, it's really double happiness!" During the banquet, waves of auspicious words burst out, but the words were all off the mark. It should have been said: "The one who gave birth to a precious child early " Now it suddenly became "Xide Lin'er".

Li Xuan looked sideways at his mother, and saw the sadness between her brows and eyes covering her aging face like a veil, Li Xuan suddenly thought of a sentence "When the color fades, the love goes away", but this sentence There should be another sentence before it, which is "Iser serves people".But as a woman, what else can she have besides this "color"?But in such a world, how many men who claim to be superior will really value "virtue"?They have seen a lot of their own virtues, and now they only want to see the young beauty of women who are different from themselves.

In the end, Li Zhengya raised his wine glass and said a few auspicious words of blessings from God.Li Xuan could clearly see the joy that had not appeared on his father's face for a long time.Everyone wants to have more sons, because one can't do that and the other can't, and there is always one that is more up to you.

After the banquet was over, Li Xuan handed over the memorial he had prepared.This memorial was written by himself. According to Li Xiuqi's teaching, he praised his father at the beginning, and then tactfully put forward his own humble opinion. How did you write such disgusting words?But he thought about it again, isn't it just a few good words, anyway, he won't lose a piece of flesh when he writes.

Li Zhengya read the excerpt and felt a subtle feeling in her heart.He had wanted to build the city wall for a long time, but the ministers had always opposed it on the grounds that it was a waste of money and people.But now that Li Xuan made this request, he not only expressed his thoughts, but also set a target for him.He can completely achieve his goal as a person who stays out of the matter, but doing so is a bit disadvantageous to Li Xuan. After all, this is his first real excerpt. hit people.But young people, just need to take more detours, and... and this throne is, it's not his turn.Li Zhengya was taken aback by her own thought, and quickly said to herself: "The palm and back of this hand are all flesh."
