Chapter 622: The Heart Is Like a Mirror

At this moment, the most carefree person is Li Ke.

The early dynasty received a reward, donated the reward to the disaster area, and thought that it was a matter of duty to envoy the Turks, so he asked for resignation and did not seal it. His Majesty, as his father, also understood his situation, and did what he wanted. After that, Wei Zheng took Gao Shilian to join the defenders of Jiannan Province, although this incident caused a great shock in the court, many personnel were busy. And as a prince who is a concubine, this kind of matter related to military power naturally has nothing to do with him, and he has just returned from an envoy to the Turks, and no minister has recommended him without knowing whether he is alive or dead.

So, after retiring from the court, there was nothing to do with him. He stood at the gate of the palace, looked at the courtiers who were like a great enemy, thought for a moment, and went to the Penglai Hall to visit his mother.

The sunlight is just right, the laurel tree in the Penglai Hall is green, the shadow is full of shadows in the daylight, and the roses at the palace gate are blooming in different colors. Aunt Yue was directing a few little palace ladies to water the flowers.

"Aunt Yue. Li Kelang shouted.

Aunt Yue raised her eyes, rubbed her faint old eyes, and saw Li Ke, who was thinking day and night, standing under the big osmanthus tree, seemed to have grown a lot taller, he stood with his hands in his hands, smiled and shouted again: "Aunt Yue." ”

"Yes, it's the King of Shu, you, you're here. "Aunt Yue was very excited.

Gong E next to him immediately fell to the ground to greet her, Li Ke stepped forward slowly, and ordered Gong E to get up. Aunt Yue instructed the palace ladies to report to Concubine Shu, but she looked at Li Ke carefully, frowned and said, "King Shu, you have grown taller, but you have lost weight and darkened." It must be this envoy to the Turks, who is not used to eating, right? ”

When Aunt Yue said it herself, she felt very distressed.

Li Ke gently took Aunt Yue's hand and asked affectionately: "Aunt Yue, I am a man, that little thing is nothing." But you, your arm still hurts?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. That Mr. Wang's apprentice Qing Yan is really amazing, he did acupuncture for me three times, and he was completely cured. Now, he taught me a set of dances and asked me to do it every day. Aunt Yue was very happy, and raised her arm to prove that she was indeed not in pain.

"How are my mother and Ah Yu?" Li Ke asked as he walked towards the Penglai Palace.

"His Royal Highness Penglai is worried about you. Aunt Yue couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the past days.

Li Ke has known everyone in Penglai Hall since he was a child, and after a little thought, he knew that these people were really worried about him, and his heart was warm, and at the same time, he felt that he couldn't go. Just when he didn't know what to say, at the gate of Penglai Palace, Li Su, who was in a purple robe and light blue coat, suddenly jumped out and shouted happily: "Third brother." ”

"Ahh Li Ke was also very happy.

Li Su stood at the door and answered, but his eyes drifted around.

"What are you looking at?" Li Ke also looked around, only seeing the roses blooming enthusiastically in the courtyard, and did not see anywhere else.

"Third sister-in-law, didn't the third sister-in-law come?" asked Li Su.

Li Ke didn't know what to say for a while, it seemed that Ah Zhi was so eye-catching, even Li Su, a child, was worried about it. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Your third brother returned to Chang'an at night yesterday. This morning, your third brother will definitely go to court early. This time must have come early in the morning, how can you take the nine girls with you?" Aunt Yue said with a smile.

"Yes. Li Su replied, with a lack of expression.

"What are you looking for your third sister-in-law to do?" Li Ke asked directly after stepping into the Penglai Palace.

"She said she wanted to show me the world. After she came that day, there was no more letter, and I just wanted to ask if she had forgotten. Li Su pursed his lips, looking very lonely.

When Li Ke heard this, he laughed and said, "Do you think everyone is as idle as you?"

"She is a woman, and she doesn't need to go to the early dynasty, and she doesn't need to go to the Turks. Besides, I inquired, she doesn't know how to embroider. What can she be busy with?" Li Xuan pouted.

Li Ke was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Ah Zi and Qin Shubao went into the mountain to explore the way, although it was something that many ministers knew, but it was actually a secret mission. Even when she entered Chang'an yesterday, she also dressed up as the guards around him and joined Chang'an City. The people of Penglai Hall didn't know that Ah Zhi was on a mission.

"The Gewu Institute is being built, and she has to sort out a lot of materials every day, which is very busy. Li Ke said casually.

Li Su pursed his lips and didn't pursue this question again, but asked a little timidly: "Third brother, you say, third sister-in-law, will she really not forget what she said to me?"

"Although she is a woman, she has a promise. Li Ke said with a pleasant face.

Li Su was obviously relieved and said, "That's good, that's good." Then I'll study hard. ”

"What?" Li Ke didn't know the status, Li Ke had already jumped up and ran to his study.

Aunt Yue said with a smile while serving tea: "Since the last time, the day you came, Ah Yu began to study hard, saying that she should read all the classics quickly, and then she dared to study with the third sister-in-law." ”

"Okay. Li Ke was also quite speechless, and secretly thought: It seems that the child can't be coaxed casually. If you have a child in the future, you can't coax it casually, and if you say it, you have to do it.

Thinking of this, he blushed unconsciously, how could he think that he had a child with Ah Zi.

Aunt Yue didn't see it, and only took care of herself and left him to eat. Li Ke coughed and said, "Okay." ”

"Then the old slave will go and prepare, and your mother will finish reading a passage at once, and come out with incense. Aunt Yue was very happy, and ordered a few palace ladies to serve on the side.

Aunt Yue left, and her mother was worshipping the Buddha. Li Ke returned to the familiar Penglai Palace, the whole person relaxed a lot, just closed his eyes on the soft couch and rested, the sunlight outside the house was very warm, and the birds chirped up and down, it was a good time.

He rested for a while, Yang Shufei came out to worship the Buddha, and the mother and son moved the mat to the shade of the tree in the courtyard. The sunlight shines through the green trees, and the flowers are in full bloom next to it, and the breeze is blowing.

The big palace maid Qingyun has learned to make tea, and she is brewing excellent gardenia tea. The mother and son talk casually, even if they talk about missing, they are bland sentences. But Li Ke likes this kind of time very much, and feels lazy and slow. The people he loves are all there, and they are all alive and well.

"Don't get involved in this matter of Jiannan Dao. Yang Shufei said for a long time, but she still got down to business.

"My father won't let me get involved. My father knew about me and Cheng Qian. Li Ke said bluntly.

Yang Shufei was stunned, and Li Ke told her the whole story. Concubine Yang Shu suddenly realized and said, "No wonder a few days ago, your father and emperor went to Penglai Hall and said very solemnly that I raised a good child. At that time, I thought he was talking about you killing three birds with one stone and shaking the Turks. It turned out to be about this. ”

"Mother, my father knows about this, and he will definitely not let me go to Jiannan Dao. Li Ke said.

Yang Shufei nodded, drank a cup of tea, frowned again, and said: "It's true that this Gao Shilian is a talent, but according to what you say, your father is so angry, presumably the corruption of Jiannan Dao is not one or two people." And those on Jiannan Road are not ordinary people, how can they let Gao Shilian control them to death?"

It is said that it was involved in the assassination of officials in Yizhou, Jiazhou, and Zizhou last year. Gao Shilian was reprimanded by his father at that time, and he has been investigating since then. Later, a young girl in Zizhou was robbed by a lieutenant in the army, and a thief entered Duyun Villa, who stole a big official's house and confiscated the stolen goods. Gao Shilian investigated these incidents together, mixed them together, and discovered this earth-shattering thing. Li Ke said slowly. The voice was pleasant, like talking about something inconsequential.

Yang Shufei just drank another cup of tea, slowly put down the cup, looked at the flowers blooming all over the garden, and said directly: "This is the beginning, in the future, don't even look at it." ”

Li Ke was stunned, and his mother clearly knew that he had done these things. He just laughed: "Mother, I don't understand what you say." ”

"Zhi'er Mo Ruomu. Yang Shufei glanced at him and said calmly.

Li Ke didn't say anything, only took the teacup and drank it slowly. Concubine Yang Shu looked at him like that, and then said: "Ke'er, I know that you are very unhappy with the Xiao family, but there are some things that you can't rush for a while. ”

"Mother, child knows. Li Ke said gently.

Yang Shufei also knew that this child had been assertive since he was a child, so she rarely asked about him. Now, the affairs of the early dynasty are widely implicated, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the Xiao family. The Xiao family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and there are not a few major families who marry the Xiao family today. Qingyun sent dim sum to Ganlu Hall and came back, and said that Gao Shilian impeached the leading army of Jiannan Province.

Yang Shufei thought of her father inexplicably. It is true that she was fostered in Hongnong Yang's family, but her father liked her very much. Every time she returned to the palace, her father always put her on his lap and said very lovingly: "Xiaoyue, wait for my father to clean up those greedy guys and rule a world where the Haiyan River is clear, the country is rich and the people are strong." At that time, when your father takes you back, you will be the most noble princess. ”

She always remembered every meeting with her father. Each time, the parents discussed the affairs of the family. She has been smart since she was a child, and with a little guidance from her parents, she knows the situation in the world and the danger to the family. Therefore, like her mother, she understands her father's ideals better and agrees with his father's plan to eliminate the family.

However, his father was in a hurry, and after all, all the families rebelled. They created public opinion, portrayed his father as an incompetent, arrogant and lascivious emperor, and then rightfully rebelled, justifiably killed him, and seized his world.

When the Sui Dynasty was in danger, her father married her to Li Shimin, who came to ask for it, in order to protect her. Her mother planned for her, saying that while she was still a princess, she could find a wife.

Once overturned, she became the princess of the dead country. I was panicked and uneasy, on the one hand, I missed my parents and was full of sadness, on the other hand, I was already a princess of the dead country, the world was in chaos, and there was no one to rely on behind her, so I and my young son could still gain a foothold in the Li family. She thought about it, she didn't want the status of a wife, and the child didn't become a concubine, she hid in the Buddhist hall alone, not asking about the world.

The Li family raised troops and seized Chang'an, with the country name Tang. Her husband was crowned the emperor and the emperor, and she was always in the Buddhist hall. She knew very well that there was no force to rely on behind her, and those who came to support her mother and son were just sinister greedy people. She could see the faces of those people clearly. The world is so big, my father is not there, there is no great mountain to rely on, and my mother is trapped in a foreign race, becoming a captive, and I don't know how to survive.

She prayed to the Buddha every day, and her heart was like a fire, just to protect her son.

Now, before the time comes, someone has impeached the leader of Jiannan Dao, which is a blatant response to the Xiao family.

When Qingyun ran back panting, he said that the morning was a big thing. When she thought of her father, she felt that something was wrong. After that, sitting in front of the Buddha hall, after thinking about it, he thought that although his husband wanted to cut the power of the Xiao family, he had always been gradual and obscure, and he would not be so radical. Then, he would be so eager to weaken the Xiao clan, especially the only one who dealt with Jiannan Dao was his own children.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu!

She understood that the child had a deep love for Yang's Azhi, and she also understood that Xiao's entry into the Shu Wangfu was a thorn in the child's heart. Now, Yang Azhi is engaged to him, of course he has to make some moves.

So, even if she didn't ask about the world in the past and didn't say a word about this child, she will talk about it today.

"Do you really know?" she sighed.

"The child knows. Li Ke looked at the roses that were blooming enthusiastically, as well as the skinny red gardenia, and said slowly.

"Solve the Xiao family, there is no hurry. I think Yang Azhi is a reasonable child, if you tell her, she will definitely not mind keeping her for a few more days. Seeing that the child was perfunctory, she simply didn't play dumb riddles, and said bluntly.

Li Ke saw that his mother was determined to discuss this topic, so he sighed and asked, "Mother, do you know how many waves of assassinations I have encountered along the way?"

His tone was light and light, and Yang Shufei's heart tightened for no reason, but she didn't speak, just looked at the child, and slowly drank the tea in early spring. This tea is not made by Yang's Azhi himself, and the taste is worse.

Seeing that his mother was quiet, Li Ke continued: "I calculated, on the way there, I walked for a total of ten days and 26 waves of assassinations. ”

"What?" Rao is calm Yang Shufei had long known that the child had gone out all the way, and there were many people who wanted him to die, but she didn't expect that there would be so many assassinations on the way there.

"This is only within the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and I haven't counted me in the Turks. There are all kinds of means. Poisoning, assassination, siege, fire, and serpent...... , the means are really endless. Li Keyun said lightly.

Originally, he just came to see his mother and younger brother, and he didn't want to talk about these worrying things, but who knew that the mother who worshiped the Buddha was like a mirror in her heart, and she didn't want him to divert the topic, so he simply said it.

"Why can't these people tolerate our mother and son like this?" The light in Yang Shufei's eyes cooled, and she secretly wondered if it was wrong to give in like this all these years.

"Mother, there are people from the Xiao family among them. Li Ke chuckled, his eyes full of mockery.

"What, what are they doing?" Yang Shufei was surprised. She originally thought that because Li Ke accepted the Xiao family, the Xiao family would not touch Li Ke, but she didn't expect that the Xiao family would also participate in the assassination of Li Ke.

"Mother, they saw that I was on the same front with the crown prince, and they did not participate in the fight for the throne, and they were hopeless. Li Ke said slowly, lying lazily on the recliner, looking at the very warm sunlight.

"Then what's the benefit to them of destroying you?" Yang Shufei still didn't understand.
