[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 23 Sons and Daughters 12

"Da Lang, you are still seriously ill, you need to take care of your health!" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu said in disapproval.

His Royal Highness Pei Wang saw that his elder brother was sweating on his forehead, so he guessed that his elder brother was probably moving his body, and said, "Brother, carefully catch a cold..."

Although it is summer now, this Hebi Palace is a cool palace after all, if one suffers from cold, it will be more difficult to heal than in winter.

Hearing what his father and younger brother said, Li Hong just smiled helplessly, and asked Ayang and the others to fetch water for him to wash.

Another little palace attendant waited on Li Hong to change his clothes and shoes.

It has been a long time since the father and son got together without talking about state affairs like this.

Li Hong felt warm in his heart.

His aunt had told him about the little Sanniang before, and Li Hong was still quite excited.

In his memory, there was always such a sister in a daze, but he couldn't find it afterwards.

Later, he had his second, third and even fourth younger brothers, and the sisters in his memory gradually became blurred.

Now being mentioned by A Niang again, Li Hong suddenly felt a strange feeling.

It seems that the girl has never been far away from them...

"Aniang said that we will see Sanniang when we return to Chang'an..." Li Hong is still looking forward to seeing Sanniang again, so he hopes to recover his health as soon as possible so that he will not become a drag on everyone .

"Brother, don't be too forceful..." Li Xian could see his elder brother's thoughts almost at a glance, and persuaded: "The toxins in your body are not cleared, so you should be careful when you return to Chang'an this time."

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also said: "Your Majesty is already preparing a comfortable carriage, Da Lang, you just need to recharge your energy for the next few days!"

"My son is like this, how can I ride a horse? Daddy is worrying too much!" Li Hong couldn't help laughing.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw the royal servant next to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu come in with a sullen face.

"Emperor..." Wang's servant glanced at the crown prince and King Pei, hesitant to speak.

"What's the matter?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't fail to notice the look on the servant's face, but he didn't want to hide anything from his two sons, so he asked the servant to speak directly.

But Li Xian didn't know what he thought of, and stopped him: "Brother still needs to rest..."

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu thought so, so he winked and asked the king's servant to go outside to answer.

Here, Li Xian urged his elder brother to lie down and rest, and then followed his father out.

The king's servant bowed his waist and stood on the corridor outside the prince's bedroom, waiting for His Majesty Li Xiaojiu and Prince Pei and his son.

"What's the matter?" His Majesty Li Xiaojiu saw the appearance of the servant, and knew that what he was going to say next was definitely not a trivial matter.

Sure enough, the king's servant put on a sad expression and said in a low voice: "The old servant just got the news that Xu Wang is dead!"

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu heard the words, but didn't react for a while, "Who are you talking about?"

Wang's servant repeated what he said just now, and said: "When Xu Wang returned to the vassal in spring, he had a serious illness, and his health was not as good as before... Before he passed away, he also invited many doctors to treat him, but he did not recover... The old slave asks the emperor to mourn!" After all, Xu Wang and Li Xiao died of illness, and it is a pity that he passed away at such a young age.

However, the royal attendant would never think that His Majesty the Emperor's expression was sad for his son's death - if they hadn't met each other during the Spring Festival every year, His Majesty the Emperor might not have remembered his bastards long ago!

Moreover, the timing of Xu Wang's death was too coincidental. His elder brother and younger brother just had an accident, and he also...

Is there really nothing wrong with this?

It is unbelievable!

"Second brother is really sick?" Li Xian obviously didn't believe such a coincidence.

Although Li Xiao is not good when he is small, he is also much stronger than his elder brother. After arriving in the fief, his mother took good care of him. Every year, she remembered to send a lot of precious medicinal materials to Xu Wangfu. Xiao is a person who knows how to be wise and protect his life. He has always avoided suspicion in political affairs, and only focuses on cultivating sentiments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even in his previous life, he was unfortunately injured while playing polo, so he passed away at a young age.

In this life, his second brother died of an illness inexplicably, so why not teach Li Xian to be suspicious.

"The old slave was also very puzzled at first, but the medical records from Prince Xu's mansion are indeed true. King Xu has had signs of hemoptysis since the beginning of May..." Wang's servant's news channel is not simple, and there is also Li Xiaojiu in Xu Wang's mansion. The people sent by His Majesty said that the information sent back should be correct.

Li Xian couldn't help frowning when he heard the word 'hemoptysis'.

According to Wang's servant, his second brother seems to be suffering from tuberculosis?

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't help frowning.

"I will trouble you, King, to investigate this matter carefully..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu still felt a little strange, and said, "Bring Erlang's concubine and son back to Chang'an..."

Originally it was said that a few concubine sons would be summoned back to Chang'an for protection, but the edict has not yet been issued, and the mourning letter came first, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel aggrieved!

"I would like to obey the order." The king's servant hurriedly took the emperor's order and hurriedly retreated.

"Father, it looks like this matter is not over yet..." Li Xian's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.

Several elder brothers have accidents one after another, and there are strange rumors in the palace. No matter how you look at it, it seems that there are black hands behind the scenes to fuel the flames!

The father and son almost thought of this, and then they had a headache together!

Nima!

What on earth does this black hand want to do? !

Soon, they knew what the black hand had done again.

Just when Wu Xu returned to Chang'an from Luoyang with her son and her husband in a modified version of the big carriage, bad news came from the Jingzhong secret guards, saying that it was a young lady holding the Ersheng jade card On the way back to Luoyang, he was assassinated by an unknown person. Although the assassin was killed by the secret guards, the little lady was also missing!

When they got the news, everyone's expressions changed!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu looked like he was about to faint, Wu Xu also looked stiff, his eyes were out of focus...

As for His Highness the Crown Prince, he was even more shocked when he heard the news, but he became excited and passed out again.

As a result, the group suddenly became chaotic.

His Royal Highness Pei Wang, who was the only one who could still control the situation, had to appease the Second Saint and urge the imperial physician to treat the prince. He was really overwhelmed.

When Wu Xu came back to his senses, his heart was numb with pain, so he asked Wu Minzhi to rush back to Chang'an immediately to find out the whereabouts of the little Sanniang.

Wu Minzhi originally refused to leave Shengjia easily, because he had to hurry, Wu Xu and the others set off lightly this time, and the guards only brought more than 1000 people. As far as the team is concerned, this number of guards is simply not enough!

Of course Wu Minzhi was very worried about Wu Xu's safety, so why would he leave casually?

What if I fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain? !

Even His Royal Highness Pei Wang didn't want his cousin with a high military value to leave the team.

Of course, student Li Xian can also think of such things as adjusting the tiger away from the mountain, but what he is more worried about is his elder brother!

Wu Minzhi was originally the best candidate because of his high martial arts skills, but once he leaves, his elder brother will definitely be worried. This is really not good for his elder brother's health!

Li Xian was in a dilemma, and finally told Wu Xu and the others that it would be better for him to hurry back to Chang'an.

As a result, this proposal was severely rejected by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

In the end, Daoist Xiao Ming took the initiative to say that it would be safer for him, an outsider, to go to Chang'an to investigate the situation.

Although Li Xian was not happy to see this guy, he thought it would be better for him to die than to let him go with Cousin Wu, so he kept quiet.

Li Xiaojiu and Wu Xu didn't object because they thought that this real person Ming was quite capable, so he shouldn't be at a disadvantage.

So, Daoist Xiao Ming changed into a tattered Taoist robe, rode a fast horse, and immediately left the team for Chang'an.

In the end, he ran for less than half a day before meeting the little Sanniang who was thought to be missing.

After the two met, they couldn't help but look at each other when they talked about what they knew.

It turned out that after Xiao Sanniang returned to Zhongnan Mountain to prepare the antidote, she hurried to Luoyang, and then, she met a group of passers-by on the way...

"I think they brought the little lady, Xiaolangjun, who doesn't look like a bad person, and kindly led them a way, but who knows..." The group of people came prepared, and waited for the little lady to take them away. After entering the official way, I started to grab her antidote...

He also said something like "The crown prince is doomed, it is better to give the antidote to the gentleman" or something!

Xiao Sanniang's force value is decisively high, but she can't stand so many people besieging her alone!

Fortunately, the place where she was attacked was not too far from Mount Zhongnan, and she was familiar with the terrain here.

Seeing that she couldn't fight recklessly, Xiao Sanniang simply ran away.

But the secret guard who came to rescue people from afar didn't find out how Xiao Sanniang escaped, and thought she was missing!

This is how misunderstandings arise!

"I heard that person said that the crown prince is dead?" When Xiao Sanniang mentioned this, her eyes were a little red, and she couldn't control her own strength when she grabbed Daoist Xiao Ming's collar.

Daoist Xiao Ming was almost strangled to death by her, and he said very hard: "The prince is fine... It's just that the Emperor and Empress think that you are in danger, my lady, so they let the poor Taoist come to find out the news!"

Hearing this, Xiao Sanniang turned her worries into joy: "Aniang and the others don't have to worry about me at all. With my ability, if I can't beat them, can't I escape?"

Xiao Sanniang said that her villain's force value is very good, unless the imperial court's crossbow team is sent, no one can hurt her!

After finishing speaking, Xiao Sanniang looked at Daoist Xiaoming with disgust: "Why did Aniang send you here?"

The subtext is: You little Taoist priest, I can slap you to death, and you still want to save others?

Daoist Xiao Ming immediately said with a serious face: "Poverty is not a frail scholar..."

This is not a lie.

Ming's family has a very long history, not only full of literary heritage, but also some unique secret books in martial arts.

It's just that Ming Chongyan is obsessed with the Taoist illusion. He has learned a little swordsmanship since he learned martial arts at home, but his combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the prince Li Xian...

Both of them were thinking about the poison of His Highness the Crown Prince, so they rushed towards Luoyang without wasting time...

In fact, Ming Chongyan was also worried that something might happen to Sheng Jia and his party. After all, there are so few guards like this, and the opportunity to take over the highest masters of the empire in one pot is really a rare opportunity in a thousand years!

The two hurried quickly, and when they arrived at the ground, they were still late...
