Xianzong said: "Don't be too busy saying thanks, there is one more thing, I want to tell you, you will be happier." ”

Li Li asked strangely, "What is the matter?"

Xianzong said: "I plan to inherit the throne of Western Xia after a hundred years. ”

Li Li was shocked and said: "Li Li is young and stubborn, as we all know, it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility. There are many outstanding young people in the clan, please ask the emperor to choose someone else, Li Yan must do his best and swear allegiance. ”

Xianzong: "You don't have to excuse yourself, there is no suitable person except you." ”

Xianzong sighed, with a trace of sadness on his face: "Since the crown prince was killed by the Mongols, I have been disheartened, worried about internal and external troubles, and I have been exhausted. Now now the Mongols will come to invade our border at any time, the life and death of the Xixia Kingdom, in fact, has been tied to the line, the foundation of the ancestors, the responsibility is heavy, throughout my royal family, only you have outstanding courage, can be a great responsibility, can save the people from fire and water, this Xixia king's position, I will pass on to you sooner or later, you don't have to shirk. ”

The king of Qingping said: "The emperor has made up his mind, and it is also for the sake of the country. This is something that others can't ask for, but you shirk in every way, if you shirk again, you will be disloyal and unfilial, and you will be ashamed of our Western Xia ancestors. Seeing this, Li Li had no choice but to thank him, but he was uneasy in his heart.

Hatun was breastfeeding herself, and Brother Xiang was in her arms, eating very happily. Ye Yu said hesitantly: "Hatun, I want to tell you something. ”

Hatun said: "If there is anything wrong with my mother, please say it directly." ”

Ye Yu said: "There are no relatives at home, I don't want to go back, I want to stay here, okay?"

Hatun smiled: "Mother is willing to stay with Hatun, Hatun can't ask for it, it's just the family's property, who will take care of it?"

Ye Yu blushed and was a little ashamed: "The housekeeper Wunan deceived me into selling the land and property, and swept away the family's belongings, and now there is only an empty house left, barely surviving." ”

Hatun was stunned for a moment, and said comfortingly: "Money is something outside the body, and if it's gone, it's gone." Fortunately, our mother and daughter have released their previous suspicions, and they can rely on each other in the future, so you can live with peace of mind, and Hatun will definitely honor her mother to repay the kindness of her upbringing. ”

When Ye Yu heard this, he had mixed feelings. Li Li came in with a smile on his face and said, "Let me hug Brother Xiang, if I don't see you for a while, I will think about it so much." ”

Hatun said with a smile: "Brother Xiang is breastfeeding, please let him eat to his heart's content." ”

Seeing this, Ye Yu went out with interest. Hatun asked, "How is the prince's business? ”

Li Yan said happily: "Just now I entered the palace to face the saint, and the emperor has already agreed to our matter." ”

Hatun was a little skeptical: "He doesn't mind that I have Mongolian blood?"

Li Li hugged their mother and son, and said affectionately: "He only cares if I will be happy." Hartun gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and at this moment, happiness was in the palm of her hand.

The full moon was approaching, and the officials and wives came to visit one after another, and sent all kinds of gifts, jewels and clothes, everything, piled up on a table. The officials and wives know very well that the most favored person of the prince is this Mrs. Hatun, who will not come to flatter her? When Li Li came in, the women were rushing to hug her brother and make jade children, which made the women love it.

Li Li smiled and said, "It's so lively, the officials and wives are all here, right?"

Hartun laughed, "You see, how much the ladies like this child. ”

Hatun then said: "As long as the prince has me in his heart, I will be satisfied." ”

Li Qian said: "Since I saw you, I only have you in my heart. ”

Hatun snuggled in Li Li's arms and said: "I am very grateful to Puzhu in my heart, although she has a bad heart, but she let me have your child." ”

Li Li: "If she knew this, she must have regretted it in her heart, she really had no intention of inserting willows into the shade." Tomorrow for the children to hold a full moon wine, can you be happy?"

Hatun nodded: "The prince attaches great importance to rewarding his brother, and as a mother, he is naturally happy." ”

Li Li said infinitely softly in her ear: "Since I am happy, can I stay today?"

Hatun said coquettishly: "It's a full moon, it should be okay." ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"

Enjoying the full moon wine of the elder brother, the guests are full, the guests are full, Li Li personally stood at the door of the house to greet the guests, his spirit was flying, his eyebrows were dancing, and he couldn't stop thanking the endless stream of guests. The ministers of the court and the central government knew that Li Li, the king of Nanping, was the most valued by the emperor, and they heard that he was still the future prince, so if he didn't come to the flames, he took the opportunity to stammer. At the banquet, Li Li sat on the main seat, and the guests lined up on both sides.

Li Li raised his glass to the guests and said: "Everyone who comes to drink Xiao'er's full moon wine, you must have fun, and you will not return home if you are not drunk." ”

One person said: "Take the little boy out first, let everyone see, it's fun." ”

Li Li instructed: "Tell the nurse to take the child out." ”

The man smiled and said: "Wait, I heard that the prince's new lady, the country is beautiful and fragrant, the prince for her, he did not hesitate to risk his life, willing to give up the throne, today everyone came to the house, why don't the prince call this lady out, so that everyone can see the demeanor of the lady, presumably the prince will not let everyone be disappointed." ”

Everyone coaxed: "The prince's golden house is hidden and enjoys the blessings alone, let's see it, the prince will not be stingy." ”

Li Li smiled and said: "In this case, let the concubine come out to toast a glass of wine for everyone, which can be regarded as a thank you to everyone." ”

Call the attendants: "Lady Hartun and the little boy are invited." The crowd was eagerly awaited.

After a while, everyone's eyes lit up, and the radiant Hartun appeared in front of everyone with the baby in his arms. I saw that Hatun thinly applied powder, lightly swept the moth eyebrows, and only obliquely held a small juan flower on the sideburns, but it seemed to be shining with attractive pearles. She wore a new red thin jacket, with snow-white fur edges, lined with a pink face, delicate and moving, and captured people's souls. Everyone looked at Hatun with envy, thinking to themselves, no wonder Li Li wanted to give up the throne for her, if it was herself, she would give up her life, and she would be reluctant to give up such a beauty.

Hatun bowed and said softly, "Thank you, my lordship." ”

Li Li was very show-off, and said proudly: "Later, Li Li will bring Mrs. Hatun to toast everyone, and everyone will not get drunk today." ”

Li Yan said gently: "It's cold, don't freeze the child, take him away." ”

The nurse took the child from Hatun's hand and hugged it, Li Li took Hatun's hand in one hand, held the wine jug in the other, got off the seat, and toasted to the guests in turn. When he walked to Li Lin's side, Li Lin's eyes kept sweeping around Hatun, and said with a smile: "Brother You is really a blessing, where to find the beauty, even if you live a few years less, it is worth it." ”

Li Li smiled and said to Hatun: "My younger brother just likes to joke. ”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Lin. Li Lin said: "Big brother also wants a drink, come, I'll pour it for big brother." He took the wine jug at hand, poured a glass, and handed it to Li Yan with his own hands.

Hatun suddenly said, "There's a hair in the wine." ”

took the wine glass from Li Li's hand, put it on the table, and sure enough, pinched out a thin hair. Li Lin smiled: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is really good eyesight. ”

Li Li raised his glass and drank it all, Li Lin saw that his glass was empty, a subtle and strange smile appeared on his face, he tilted his neck, and poured the wine in his hand into his stomach. Li Li continued to toast to the guests, and just after entertaining the two guests, he suddenly heard a painful cry from behind him. Looking back, I saw Li Lin's face pale, holding her belly with her hands, and letting out a painful howl from her mouth.

Everyone was taken aback, and Li Li hurriedly stepped forward, supported Li Lin, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Lin pointed at Li Li, looking at the wine glass, an unbelievable expression appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth continued to bleed. Prime Minister Gao Lianghui hurriedly stepped forward and said in surprise: "He was poisoned. The crowd was in a panic.

Gao Lianghui shouted, "Hurry up and call the doctor." Before the doctor arrived, Li Lin was already lying on the ground twisting painfully and swallowing her breath.

Gao Lianghui looked at Li Yan suspiciously, and said, "King Nanping, you poured this glass of wine for him, right? Why is it poisonous?"

Li Li saw that everyone doubted himself, and he was at a loss for a while. Gao Lianghui said: "Everyone saw it with their own eyes, you gave him a cup, he gave you a cup, why didn't you get poisoned?"

Li Yan held the wine glass in his hand, looked left and right, the two pots of wine, there was nothing unusual, where did the poison come from? Hatun said unhurriedly: "You don't have to doubt the prince, let me tell you what's going on." ”

Everyone looked at Hatun together, and Hatun said, "He poisoned himself by himself." ”

Gao Lianghui looked incredulous: "Why did he poison himself? How did he poison himself?"

"I stood beside him and could see very clearly that when he served wine to the prince, his fingernails had already reached into the wine glass," Hatun said. I thought it was strange at the time, but when I deliberately said that there was hair in the wine, he changed his face, and I knew that there must be something strange in it, so I took advantage of the pinch of my hair and changed the two glasses of wine. He originally wanted to poison the prince, but he didn't want to, what he drank was the wine he had poisoned himself. ”

Gao Lianghui said: "Madame is only based on the words of one person, and it is difficult to win trust. ”

"If you don't believe him," said Hatun, "you can examine his fingers, and believe that there must still be poison left." ”

Gao Lianghui squatted down and raised Li Lin's hands, and sure enough, he found that the middle finger and ring fingernails of his right hand were full of white powder, only the index finger was gone, and it was this index finger that I thought was poisoned.

Gao Lianghui: "If it weren't for Madame's discernment, I would have almost blamed King Nanping." ”

Li Yan said strangely: "The court is public, poisoned this king, isn't he afraid that it will be difficult to explain?"

Hartun said: "This poisoned wine did not attack on the spot, he could have pushed it on any minister, and no one could have imagined that the poison was in his hands." When the time comes, everyone here will not be able to escape suspicion. ”

Gao Lianghui broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Thank you, madam, your wisdom and courage are really admirable." Marquis Anping poisoned the king of Annan, and he took the blame for himself, and it was not a pity to die. It's Madame, who saved the prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, and her merits are immeasurable. ”

Hatun Wan'er looked at Li Li: "Hatun doesn't dare to take credit, and I don't dare to praise as an adult, the prince is my husband, and I deserve it." ”

Gao Lianghui was puzzled: "It's just that why did he poison the prince?"

Li Li looked at Li Lin underground, and said meaningfully: "Only he knows this." ”
