After Li Song's family left the palace, Xu was worried about it, and the sage did not summon the children and grandchildren who went to the Ganlu Hall to greet him, but sent them all home to rest. After seven days of mourning, not only did the father and son fall ill one after another, but even the young and vigorous grandchildren were exhausted. What's more, Fang Cai was shocked to hear the news that Li Song had succeeded the king of Chu, and everyone's feelings became more and more depressed. So, King Yue, King Pu and the three princesses said goodbye for the time being, and returned home with their families.

The journey home was extremely quiet, and as far as the eye could see, it was still white, and there were hardly many pedestrians on the streets. Li Hui Yuma slowly followed King Pu's car, and his mood was extremely depressed. Suddenly, Li Tai lifted the corner of the window screen, glanced at him, and raised his chin to Li Xin not far away.

His Royal Highness King Pu has not recovered from his serious illness, his face is still a little pale, and he has been unable to hide his depression for several days. Now seeing that he finally recovered a little bit of his former anger, the two filial sons naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately abandoned the horse and boarded the car. After getting into the car, the two brothers felt that the space in the car seemed to be much more spacious, and they looked at it - sure enough, the grandfather who was like his own meat had lost a lot, and even the phoenix eyes, which were almost invisible by the meat, had some shape.

King Xin'an suddenly felt a little distressed: What if I really want Grandpa to raise all the meat back? It's a bit unaccustomed to looking like this. But if he is as fat as he used to be meatballs, he is worried that he is too fat and too weak. It's really not easy to be filial to your son, grandpa is worried when he's fat, and he's just as worried when he's thin.

His Royal Highness King Pu didn't know what thoughts were turning in his sons' hearts, so he said, "Alas, how can Grandpa be ruthless...... If Ah Niang knew that he had passed away his eldest son, how sad she would have been. No one can succeed the eldest son, I have some sympathy...... Boss that guy. ”

It turned out that he was too surprised, and his heart was turbulent, but he couldn't react for a while. It wasn't until now that I couldn't help but find my two sons to say what was in my heart: "Speaking of the King of Chu, my grandfather thought about succeeding me back then, but Grandpa insisted on not allowing it, and my grandfather chose someone else. Just now, I was scared into a cold sweat, if I didn't succeed the eldest line, wouldn't I send San Lang out to inherit the heir? This is the right generation - but it is not easy to raise such a big son, who is willing to go out? But if the second brother's family is cheapened, I am reluctant. Anyway, that's also a prince......"

Li Xin was silent for a long time, and said: "If you really succeed San Lang, it will be a good thing." At the very least, he will also be an important prince in the clan in the future, and he will be able to stay away from other disputes and be at ease. After my uncle ascended the throne, whether he wanted to use him or not, he would feel at ease. ”

Hearing this, His Royal Highness King Pu was startled, and he didn't care about it, so he hurriedly hugged his young son into his arms: "This is my son, no one will give it away!" Da Lang, this is your brother-in-law, how can you be full of thoughts about passing him away?! No matter how much there is a benefit! It's just a matter of raising you as an unlikable one, and finally having a likable son, wouldn't it be tyrannical if you don't stay by your side? ”

Li Xin was speechless for a moment. And Li Hui was hugged tightly by him, lying on his fleshy chest, and his heart was moved and helpless: Grandpa, "Tyrannical Heavenly Things" doesn't seem to be used like this - "Grandpa, it is a foregone conclusion that he will succeed the great father, and Brother is just talking." ”

After going out, it has nothing to do with the seizure of the heir and the suspicion in the future, and it is indeed a very decisive policy. not only preserved Li Song, but also gave Li Ju enough honor and future. At the same time, it probably relieved my uncle. After all, Li Ju is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, and he was previously deposed as a concubine, and he was affected and had an advantage in secular patriarchy.

However, this is also a forced move. Otherwise, as Li Tai said, who would be willing to succeed his eldest son and eldest grandson? It's just pity for them, that's why I have to do it. If the great father hadn't made trouble out of the other courtyard, it shouldn't have been like this. Moreover, based on the understanding of his grandfather and grandmother in the past few months, Li Hui believes that being able to be so resolute and resolute is not the attitude that his grandfather has always had towards his children and grandchildren, but should be his grandmother's wish before her death.

This grandmother, whom she had never met in her previous life, is simply admirable. If she was not a woman, but a man, what kind of wise and decisive person should she be? is either a virtuous queen, or a virtuous minister, at least he can occupy a place in the Lingyan Pavilion.

"That's it, don't care about them, it's better if it's not us who succeed you." After such a fright, His Royal Highness King Pu saw a lot, "Grandpa and Auntie, who have been called for so long, have become the father and mother of the world in a blink of an eye, and it is impossible for anyone to accept it lightly." I'd rather go back to Junju and stay than suffer this kind of grievance. ”

"Grandfather is definitely not willing to give up grandpa." Li Hui comforted him and said, "Grandpa was reluctant when he was a child, but now that Grandpa still has a brother and children under his knees, he must be even more reluctant." What's more, my sister-in-law is still pregnant with his great-grandson. "I have already succeeded the eldest son, how can my grandfather give up the second son? The Pu Wang family has not yet reached the point of life and death.

He said so reasonably, His Royal Highness King Pu didn't think much about it anymore, and said: "Speaking of which, your uncle the prince also mentioned two days ago that he wanted to donate to build a temple and pray for your grandmother. I also want to build a temple...... You say, "Do you want to donate with him?" The yield of our fiefdom is acceptable, and there is no place to make money when we are in Junzhou, and the treasury should be quite full. Why don't you ask your aunt and then decide how much you want to donate? ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, why don't you wait until you return to the fiefdom and then build a temple for your grandmother?" This temple should have been built in Chang'an, so let my uncle donate it alone. This is the filial piety of the uncle, and it seems inappropriate for the grandfather to join in rashly. ”

"He asked me personally, and I thought I wanted to count the treasury to see how much money was left in our family, so I didn't agree on the spot." Li Tai snorted, "This is not to steal the limelight, but to do filial piety." You two are not very old, but you are like sixty or seventy-year-old old people, you are too cautious!! If I don't promise him, I'll make him think more! ”

"Grandpa and Brother's concerns are reasonable." Li Hui said roundly, "Why don't you go and ask the second father and Aunt Qinghe first?" "Li Heng and Princess Qinghe have always acted safely, and they don't mind giving some tips. Perhaps, even the excuse of refusal can be referred to theirs.

After driving back to King Pu's mansion, the two brothers and Zhou first sent Li Tai and Yan to the main courtyard on the middle road. Then, Li Xin bowed slightly to Li Hui, signaled that he would talk in secret later, and then helped his beloved wife back to the East Road. When Li Hui returned to the courtyard of the West Road with some preoccupation, he raised his eyes and saw Wang Zixian sitting in the Yanxi Pavilion where they used to play against each other.

"Zixian, why are you here?" Li Hui greeted him with some surprise.

During the seven days of mourning, his heart was full of grief, and he had almost no time to look around, so he handed over all the things that happened in the other courtyard to Wang Zixian to deal with. However, this matter was too big and made the Son of Heaven angry. The other courtyard belonged to the crown prince Li Kun, and he sent someone over to take over the investigation that night, and it was not easy for the Pu Wangfu to get involved too deeply. Wang Zixian could only rely on the strength of his few subordinates to continue to make secret visits everywhere.

The prince looked at him carefully and sighed lightly: "King, the festival is smooth." "He is not close to each other and does not fully understand the pain of losing a loved one. However, from the look on the face of Empress Qin when Li Hui talked about it on weekdays, he knew that this elder was very important to him. Now that he has lost a lot of weight, he also feels a little sick and weak on his face, and he feels a faint pain in his heart, and he even wishes to be able to share some of it for him.

"Grandmother only allowed us to indulge our sorrows for seven days, and I have ...... I learned to put away my grief. Li Hui smiled bitterly, "And, more importantly, we must investigate the affairs of the other courtyard and find out who is so bold as to disturb the peace of the royal family." If this person is allowed to succeed, if there is a spirit in the ground, my grandmother will definitely worry about us. He still remembered that Empress Qin said that the last thing he wanted to see was the wall of brothers. Therefore, whether it is for her peace or for the peace of King Pu's lineage, the real murderer cannot be connived.

"In the past few days, Empress Wende has mourned, and the trilogy has gained very little." The prince said, "There are no suspicious characters in Princess Anxing's mansion, and the county lord of Yichuan has not sent anyone to look for her. When you were in the palace, did you notice if there was any connection between the two of them? They may have many opportunities to speak alone together when they mourn. ”

"After all, they are women, and it is inconvenient for me to keep an eye on them all the time." Li Hui replied, "However, the Great Mother will definitely pay special attention to them." Tomorrow we will go to the other courtyard to visit the eldest mother and cousin, and I can't say what we will gain. For example, when did the great father start to indulge, and when did Li Qianniang start to be secretive, etc. Although they are already relatives in the same lineage, and the murderers behind the scenes will no longer attack them, he believes that neither the Su family nor Li Ju can swallow the grievances that have been calculated one after another.

Wang Zixian thought of the person he suspected the most, and frowned: "It is very likely that this time it is another plan to kill people with a knife." Even if it is found out, it is just a chess piece. ”

"If the chess pieces are checked too much and all of them are removed, how can the people who play chess completely hide their traces? It's just that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and this feeling of being repeatedly calculated is very unpleasant. I can't say that I need to be more careful in the future...... After the succession of the Great Father, our line and the Yue Wang line may be more dangerous. Li Hui said.

None of the Yue kings had been involved in the matter before, but that didn't mean they were at ease. What's more, in their previous lives, they were far more miserable than King Pu. Now that I think about it, it may not be without the handiwork of the murderer behind the scenes. It's a pity that he was trapped in the fiefdom back then, and he really didn't know much. can only see the ending on the newspaper, the cause and effect are all based on speculation, and some conspiracy calculations that are too deeply hidden cannot be known to him at all.

Seeing that he was worried, Wang Zixian put away the surprise that Li Song's line was actually taken out, and couldn't help but whisper: "Don't worry, there will be traces in your actions, and you will definitely be able to find out the murderer." He was still unsure whether to lay out all his suspicions, for it involved the follies of the idiots in the family who had done it before—a secret of the family's survival, which he had to keep his mouth shut—and perhaps it would not be too late to say anything more when he could find a better time to get rid of his family.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Sipu walked on foot, and at a glance he saw two young men sitting in the pavilion. One is sorrowful, the other is relieved, and it seems so discordant. He snorted coldly in his heart, strode over, and sat unceremoniously between the two.
