Datang's journey to death

Li Shimin looked at Mrs. Xiao speechlessly. This is really a reason that people have no way to refute. Li Shimin also half-believes this reason. If he doesn’t believe it, he thinks it’s too coincidental. If he doesn’t believe it, he thinks it’s too coincidental. It is really possible to say that she is rebellious.

Xiao looked at Li Shimin's relaxed attitude, and said sadly: "I also know that this is not right, but... this girl really can't stay anymore, saint, you also know what she has done, tiger poison is not a child. , Saburo is such an obedient and sensible child, how can she do it!"

"Did she tell you?" Li Shimin felt sorry for his son after hearing this.

Xiao's face turned cold: "I said it, and she still doesn't listen to discipline. Now that she dares to murder the prince, who knows what kind of things she can do in the future? The saint has given enough preferential treatment to us subjugated people. Her behavior cannot be tolerated!"

Li Shimin faintly heard Xiao's implication, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Indeed, even his own son is harmed now, and he might harm his aunt's son in the future. Now his three aunts are all treasures. Can't be hurt!

So Concubine Yang Shu's death passed like this, and in the end there were only a few records in the history books. She died by accident and was buried with the emperor's mausoleum—because the real cause of death is hard to tell, so it can only be treated as an accident. Naturally, the concubine will also be buried in the emperor's tomb.

It's just... Concubine Yang Shu's tomb is far away from Li Shimin's tomb. Judging from the location, it is obvious that she is not favored.

However, the person has already died, and it doesn't matter whether he is favored or not. Everyone is watching what to do with the two princes left behind by Concubine Yang Shu, but no one expected that Li Shimin would let those two princes live in Ningyun Pavilion and hand them over to him. Take care of the eldest grandson queen.

Empress Changsun was really under some pressure. In the past, Li Ke and Li Min were raised by Concubine Yang Shu. She could show the generosity and gentleness of her aunt as long as she asked from time to time, but now these two have become her responsibility. She knows But if anything goes wrong with the two kids, it's all her fault.

The most important thing is that the older one is okay, Empress Changsun has a good impression of Li Ke, but the younger one...was innocent and cute at first, but it turned out to be more and more gloomy recently, especially now that he is still sick and not Know if it can be matured.

For this matter, Empress Changsun has been focusing on Li Ke and Li Min recently, which really made her biological sons a little unhappy, and Li Chengqian is the most important among them.

Li Chengqian realized that he was a little impetuous, so he had to practice calligraphy and reading to calm his mind. As an attendant, Pei Xuan had to accompany Li Chengqian to read and practice calligraphy, but for the two of them, these things could no longer attract their attention.

In the end, Pei Xuan had no choice but to put down the book and looked at Li Chengqian, who had a slightly depressed look on his face, and asked, "This is unbearable? Then what will you do from now on?"

Li Chengqian said unhappily: "This bastard is really getting better and better after being reborn, even A Niang was deceived by him, and he praised him in front of us every day!"

"Otherwise? What do you ask my wife to do? He is my wife's son but not my wife's son. You should be more considerate of my wife." Pei Xuan hinted that Li Chengqian's rivalry with Li Ke was useless, and Empress Changsun praised Li Ke So what, Li Ke is not the biological son of Empress Changsun.

How could Li Chengqian not understand this truth?He turned his eyes and looked at Pei Xuan and asked, "Can you really heal my leg?"

Pei Xuan raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows: "You don't believe me?"

Li Chengqian didn't speak, he really didn't believe it in his heart, his leg ailment was not caused by a trauma, but an unknown disease, so many Fengyu were helpless back then, if it wasn't for his leg ailment, he wouldn't have slowed down Unbalanced, so he was looking forward to Pei Xuan's guarantee and was afraid at the same time, feeling very conflicted.

Pei Xuan seemed to know what he was thinking, but simply said: "You will know later."

Li Chengqian followed Pei Xuan's example and turned the brush in his hand, and then turned the ink dots all over his body. Pei Xuan looked at Li Chengqian as if he was mentally retarded: Didn't you see that he was holding a clean brush in his hand?

Li Chengqian had no choice but to go back and change his clothes. After coming out, he played with the jade pendant on his body and asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

Pei Xuan seems to have thought about this question a long time ago: "Next, you need to show concern for Li Ke and Li Yin."

Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xuan with an expression as if he had swallowed a fly, and Pei Xuan smiled slightly at his stupid look: "You just can't learn to bow your head."

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "You want me to bow down to Li Ke?"

It's not bad that Li Chengqian didn't strangle Li Ke to death, but let him bow his head to Li Ke?It would be better if this Li Ke wasn't the previous one. After knowing it was the previous one, Li Chengqian had only one thought: kill him!

"It's not considered bowing your head, it's just for the saint's wife to see. Now it's the time for the saint to show all kinds of affection for Li Ke. Why don't you, the prince, show your brotherly love?"

Li Chengqian was a little reluctant, and Pei Xuan added to the fire: "Do you want to be deposed again?"

Li Chengqian exploded in an instant, the abolition of the prince was an eternal pain in his heart, even if he knew that he was abolished because of treason, but no matter what the reason was, it represented his failure.

Of course, no one except Pei Xuan will mention this at this time, but Pei Xuan is not afraid of Li Chengqian's blows at all. He knows all Li Chengqian's secrets. The other party will either destroy his humanity or win him over. Li naturally holds a secret weapon.

Li Chengqian stared angrily at Pei Xuan and found that the person opposite was still drinking tea there calmly, Li Chengqian sneered and said: "If you can be one-third as calm as you are now when facing Li Ke, then I don't have to worry about anything. "

So this time it was Pei Xuan who stared at Li Chengqian, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time like bullfighting, then Pei Xuan said angrily: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, do as I say, I will never cheat you, After all, we are allies."

"I'm really afraid that your ally will sell me sometime." Li Chengqian muttered, it is because Pei Xuan's attitude towards Li Ke is too ambiguous, love desires life and evil desires death.

Pei Xuan took a deep breath: "If this is the case, you don't have to worry about it. What should you do in the future? If something happens to Li Ke, it will be his bad luck. It will save the two of us."

? ? ?Li Chengqian carefully looked at Pei Xuan for a long while, seeing that the hair on Pei Xuan's body was about to explode, Pei Xuan couldn't help but slapped the desk and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"See if you have been taken away." Li Chengqian teased, "Why all of a sudden..."

Pei Xuan lowered her eyes: "If you think about it, it's nothing."

Before, he was always entangled, that was his host, betraying the host as a system is absolutely not allowed behavior, Pei Xuan's thinking mode has not changed before, but after seeing Concubine Yang Shu's fate, Pei Xuan suddenly felt that he was suddenly relieved. Cheerful, he is already a human being, not that system anymore, and without him, Li Ke must have another system.

There is only resentment between him and Li Ke, but no kindness.

Li Chengqian saw Pei Xuan's anxiety fade away, and he was really relieved, and began to think about what to send to Li Ke. Well, Li Yin's illness is a good excuse.

Li Ke, who was taking care of Li Yin, couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly after receiving the things from the East Palace: Li Chengqian has really improved, he knows how to act.

You must know that Li Chengqian back then was actually a little overlord. In the sky and on earth, except for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun who were looked down upon by him, everyone else was nothing!

It has to be said that Li Chengqian's performance made Li Shimin very gratified, and what made Li Shimin even more gratified was that his third son had been taking care of his younger brother carefully these days, without complaining of suffering or tiredness.

In private, Li Shimin once said to Empress Changsun: "Sanlang has a conscience."

Neither he nor Empress Changsun thought that Li Ke was acting. The problem is that if the acting is done well, it will come true.The only thing that worries Li Shimin is that his third son seems to be getting more and more silent.

Obviously, although he was not very lively before, he was also very cheerful. Recently, he has become less and less talkative.Li Shimin was quite worried, but he couldn't do anything. He wanted to talk to his son, but he was the emperor, how could he have so much time?In the end, Li Shimin simply sent Li Chengqian over.

Don't you guys have a good relationship?Come on, son, enlighten your brother for your father.

Li Chengqian... Li Chengqian held his blood in his heart, turned his head to look at Pei Xuan and said, "This is your good idea."

"It's important to at least let the saint know that you are a person who treats your siblings well."

"Come on, come with me and see what he's up to again."

"What else can I do? Pretending to be pitiful, look at who else is there in the eyes of the saint these days? Don't blame me for not reminding you, as long as Li Ke is given a chance, he can firmly grasp it. Although I It can remind you, but it can’t help you prevent it everywhere, so you should be careful.” In fact, there is still one sentence that Pei Xuan didn’t say, which is: In addition to being good at grasping opportunities, Li Ke is also a man who has no opportunity to create opportunities. people.

There is a reason why Li Chengqian was almost killed last time. If it weren't for Li Shimin's hard work, he would have been crippled [-] times.

Li Chengqian was a little unhappy. He just couldn't hear Pei Xuan's praise of Li Ke. Although he knew what he said was true, he couldn't help retorting: "So what? Just because of his identity, he won't even think about it in his life." Take my seat."

Pei Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian, and said to himself that he doesn't want your seat, he just wants to pull you down.But this sentence involves many things, even if he doesn't want to mention Li Ke's secrecy, he doesn't want to expose his own background, so it's better not to say it.

Therefore, Li Ke ushered in the East Palace duo in Ningyun Pavilion. Li Ke raised his head to look at Li Chengqian and Pei Xuan, and smiled weakly: "Brother and Pei Xiaolang have such a good relationship, it's Meng Bulijiao! .”

After confirming that there was no possibility of Pei Xuan and himself turning enemies into friends, Li Ke began to think of ways to dig a hole for Pei Xuan. If Pei Xuan was just an ordinary person, he would be fine. Li Chengqian was already difficult to deal with, but with Pei Xuan added, would he still have to live?

It must be dismantled, even if it is not dismantled now, a foreshadowing will be planted.

Li Chengqian's sexuality will be exposed sooner or later, Li Ke has no doubts about it, Li Chengqian can't bear it, even if he can bear it, Li Ke will find a way to make him unbearable.

When this incident comes out, the Duke of Hedong County who has been hanging out with the prince... Well, it is doubtful.

Li Chengqian and Pei Xuan didn't expect Li Ke to think so long-term, but both of them also had an intuition that Li Ke was not really feeling that the two of them had a good relationship.

Especially Li Ke's current melancholy appearance almost disgusted Li Chengqian and Pei Xuan-they couldn't believe that Li Ke would be sad for Concubine Yang Shu's death even if they were beaten to death!

But Li Ke pretended to be like this and they had to continue, so Li Chengqian could only endure the desire to lift the table to comfort Li Ke: "Sanlang, don't be too sad, the deceased is dead, if Concubine Shu is here, I definitely don't want you to be so sad. "

Li Ke sighed softly: "Of course I also understand this truth, but... hey, let's not mention this, it's rare for the elder brother to come to see me, and I don't have anything to entertain here, please elder brother and Pei Xiaolang to taste these fresh fruits."

At this time, Li Chengqian noticed the fruit plate brought by Lv Yang just now. He fixed his eyes and found that there were two bunches of green grapes on it, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the tribute fruit that came up from the Turkic side a few days ago?"

"Brother has good eyesight, oh, I almost forgot that there should be some there, but I made a fool of myself." The smile on Li Ke's face was faint, but it played a very good role in making Li Chengqian almost pissed off.

Dad is so eccentric!Li Chengqian stared at those grapes and didn't stretch out his hand. He didn't like eating these grapes very much, but this kind of fruit is not easy to store, so there are not many tribute fruits sent every time. Since there are fewer, then there are not many tributes , the Lizheng Palace is indispensable, the rest is the East Palace, Ningyun Pavilion and Concubine Wei.

However, this is not the main reason for Li Chengqian's depression, the main reason is... Li Ke has more weight here than his!

Li Ke seemed to know Li Chengqian's thoughts and said: "Brother also saw it, I don't lack anything here, don't bring anything again next time, why are you and my brother so polite?"

"That's right, Dad will never let you be wronged."

"I also want to thank my lady for taking care of me."

Li Chengqian was choked for a moment, and suddenly remembered, as if...his mother had also sent Li Ke a lot of food, and for a moment Li Ke was probably that other child in Li Chengqian's eyes.

At this moment, Li Yin, who was taking a nap, rubbed his eyes and came out. After seeing Li Chengqian, he was stunned for a moment, and then timidly called out: "Brother."

These days, although Li Yin is lingering and sick, he has grown a lot. Although Li Ke didn't deliberately mention anything, there are already many people whispering in his ears. For example, their lives will be sad without Concubine Yang Shu's protection. Ah, why he and Saburo are brothers and must be together.

Therefore, when Li Yin faced Li Chengqian, who naturally suppressed him in terms of identity, he acted a little cowardly.

Li Ke stood up and walked over to touch Li Yin's head and said, "Liu Lang woke up? Is there any other discomfort?"

Li Yin held Li Ke's hand tightly and shook his head. Although he had been instilled by Concubine Yang Shu a lot to stay away from Li Ke, he was still young. Now that something like this happened, Li Yin would instinctively rely on Li Ke. Coupled with the fact that Li Ke has been patiently by his side to coax him these days, it is difficult for Li Yin not to rely on him.

After Li Chengqian noticed that Li Yin was looking at him with a little fear of him, his first reaction was what Li Ke said in front of Li Yin.

But Li Chengqian didn't care. In his eyes, these brothers were all afraid of him, so afraid that they didn't dare to have any other thoughts. As a prince, what he wanted was the submission and fear of others.

Li Ke took Li Yin's hand and walked over, and then peeled Li Yin's fruit with his own hands. Li Chengqian and Pei Xuan's eyes were about to fall out.Is it really Li Ke who is so gentle and patient?

Pei Xuan felt that he should wash his eyes, he had been with Li Ke for so many years and had never seen this person so patient!

With Li Ke around, even though Li Min was a little afraid of Li Chengqian, he still let go. Seeing him like this, Li Ke was relieved a lot.After pretending to be in touch with Li Ke, Li Chengqian and Pei Xuan walked away with half of their views shattered.

Li Chengqian said with a complicated face: "Do you think... he is sincere to Liu Lang?"

Pei Xuan looked at him expressionlessly: "I don't know."

"You don't know him very well?"

"Maybe he has become something I don't understand?" Pei Xuan thought for a while and added: "Maybe he is just like you, just for everyone to see."

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment. He felt that even if he did it for others to see, he would not be able to do what Li Ke did. How could he be taking care of his younger brother? He was simply taking care of his son, right?Li Chengqian was never so patient with his son back then!

"Forget it, he must have tasted the sweetness." Li Chengqian felt that this younger brother was getting more and more troublesome, but Li Ke also showed him a clear way. Since his father wanted them to be brothers and sisters, he would be a brother. How can it look like?What's more, Li Ke, who is disgusting and disgusting every day, is also very good.

But it's not just Li Ke who has tasted the sweetness. How could Li Shimin not know about Li Chengqian running over to disgust Li Ke every three days?He was very pleased with this, and praised Li Chengqian in the interval between teaching Li Chengqian to read the memorial: "You have grown up too, and you know how to take care of your brothers."

Li Chengqian knew who he was talking about as soon as he heard it, and he couldn't help but sighed and said regretfully: "My son just saw that Saburo has a posture of staying at home recently. No girl in any family is as bored as him, and he doesn't talk too much." He said that there was no smile on his face, which really worried me."

Li Ke would dig a hole for Li Chengqian, wouldn't Li Chengqian dig a hole for Li Ke?He said he was worried, but he was actually conveying a message to Li Shimin-Li Ke couldn't hold on when something happened.

Li Shimin will not be regarded as a qualified heir if he is not strong enough. Although it is not a trivial matter to die his mother, if he can't get out, he will be too cowardly.

After hearing this, Li Shimin said: "So you should take care of him a little bit more. Part of the reason he is like this now is because of Liu Lang."

Li Chengqian: ...it seems that the digging of this hole was not very successful, but it doesn't matter, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Li Ke also knows what it means to accept as soon as it is good. Things like pretending to be pitiful will win people's sympathy at first, but after a long time, people will feel tired and crooked.

So after Li Yin's body recovered almost, Li Ke took him to resume his studies and physical education classes.After experiencing the blow of Concubine Yang Shu's death, Li Ke, who was calmer than before, and Li Yin, who was much quieter, appeared in front of everyone.

It is said that children who can cry have candy to eat, but in the royal family, children who are sensible are more painful.Li Ke is now starting to take a high-cold route, and he doesn't smile easily-no one dares to make him laugh, after all, it is an extraordinary period.

But the biggest question now is, what about Li Ke and Li Yin's courses?They were all taught by Concubine Yang Shu in the past, but now Empress Changsun takes over, but Empress Changsun will be in charge of the entire harem, plus she has two sons and one daughter to teach—Li Chengqian is the prince, and she has her own prince, master, and master. Teaching, but even so, there is no time to take care of Li Ke and Li Yin.

Concubine Wei Gui has only one daughter at this time, and she doesn't know when she will be able to give birth to a son, but she really wants to take over the education of these two children. This son is also caring. These days, he often goes to Ningyun Pavilion. If... it can also let her see more saints, there is nothing wrong with it.

After Li Shimin knew about this, he waved his hand directly: "Let Liu Lang study with San Lang first, and San Lang... San Lang go to study with the prince."

Therefore, besides being brothers and enemies, Li Ke and Li Chengqian became classmates again.

After knowing this, even Li Ke was stupid. He never thought that his father would throw him to the East Palace. When he thought of meeting Li Chengqian for more than three hours a day in the future, Li Ke couldn't help but collapse.

At the same time, Li Chengqian was also tricked. After being stupid for a long time, he turned his head to look at Pei Xuan, and said with a solemn expression: "You said... what does daddy mean?"

Pei Xuan said calmly, "It's nothing interesting, just let him study with you."

"Isn't that interesting?" Li Chengqian couldn't help raising his voice. As we all know, princes are different from ordinary princes, and they receive different teachings. At least it is impossible to teach ordinary princes how to check and balance the court.

"It's just reading. He won't be here for too long. What you need to do now is to stabilize yourself, and then... continue to care about your brother." Pei Xuan now feels that what Li Chengqian needs most is to create a reputation, and set the tone first. , then if Li Ke does anything wrong in the future, everyone will only think he is a white-eyed wolf.

Li Chengqian understood Pei Xuan's meaning as soon as he heard it. He played with the white porcelain teacup in his hand and said suddenly: "In this case, then I will find a white cat and send it to my good third brother." It's almost enough to give away, and there is nothing new in giving it again, so let's give it a special one.

"Pfft..." Pei Xuan took a sip of tea and dedicated it all to the table, and a few drops happily ran to Li Chengqian by the way.

Li Chengqian was stunned: "You...what are you doing?"

Pei Xuan was in a rare embarrassment, and after wiping his mouth, he asked, "Send... a white cat? Why do you want to give a white cat?"

What kind of allusion is this?

Li Chengqian asked in surprise: "Don't you know? Li Ke likes white cats."
