The snow that had fallen all night finally stopped, the sky and the earth were silvery white, and there was a thin layer of snow on the Qionghua Ruicao in the Imperial Garden, and only a few proud plum trees were still exuding their fragrance, showing the vitality that could not be extinguished in the cold winter.

Bypassing the Taiye Pond with a thin layer of ice, and returning to his hut in Changyin Garden, the merchant took off the charcoal basin in the corner of the house, and watched the red flames jump in front of him, but his thoughts flew outside the palace.

Li Mo sent her all the way to the gate of the palace, but when she checked her waist card and was about to enter the palace, the reluctance in her eyes was so obvious, for a while, it seemed that only he was the hand holding her between heaven and earth, and only the two of them were left holding hands and looking at each other!

Shang Shang understood that he didn't want to let him enter the palace, but some things could not be done if he didn't want to, Li Mo refused to enter the palace to face his father for a day, and it was impossible for her to leave this brilliant cage for a day! But how easy is it to let go of the dead knot in Li Mo's heart? What's more, she didn't want to force him.

There will be a hurdle in everyone's heart that cannot be passed, if she just forces Li Mo for her own selfishness, then she is not a businessman anymore!

Holding his hand close to the charcoal basin and feeling the warm temperature, the merchant felt that his body was gradually warming, and then he stood up. At this point, I'm afraid that the fire in the palace dining room has been extinguished, but fortunately I ate some snacks at my grandfather's, otherwise, I would be hungry at this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Susler?"

Shang Shang opened the door with some confusion, she had just returned to the palace, who was so well-informed?

"It's Susle, right?" There was a little palace maid of twelve or thirteen years old standing outside the door, and when she saw the merchant open the door, she was blessed.

"Exactly, you are—" The merchant looked the little girl in front of him up and down, and her appearance was not silent, she could only be regarded as upright, but her eyes were tight, and she had never seen it.

"The emperor ordered Su Sile to go to the Yilan Palace as soon as he returned to the palace." The little palace maid held a small face and preached the decree with great seriousness.

"Yes! The slave obeys. ”

Although the little girl pretended to be an adult and looked very cute, but in view of the fact that the other party was here to deliver the decree, the merchant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly put on a big fashion, and extinguished the charcoal fire in the basin, so he closed the door and followed the little girl to the Yilan Palace.

Yilan Hall is the dormitory of martial talents, from the point of view of location, it is just opposite the palace of Concubine Yang, there is a manna hall in the middle, at this time the sun has been slanting westward, the emperor wants her to go to the Yilan Palace at this time but it is a little strange?

"This sister! I don't know what happened to the emperor summoning slaves and maids? ”

Shang Shang followed behind the little palace maid, accompanied by a smiling face, in this palace, it has always been polite and not strange.

"I don't know about this, you just have to follow along!"

The little girl walked without looking back, ignoring the smile on the businessman's face.

Passing through the Imperial Garden, rubbing the edge of the Taiye Pool, turning the door of the Moon Cave, the Yilan Hall is already close in front of you. The sky has been darkened, the Yilan Hall has been lit, in the half-dim twilight it looks extraordinarily bright, like a paradise away from the world, revealing a warmth and tranquility, and the figures in the lights are also like the early black and white silent films come and go silently, without stirring up a single ripple.

The little palace maid led the merchant to the bottom of the corridor, turned around and said, "You wait here, wait for me to reply." ”

Without waiting for the merchant to reply, the little palace maid went straight into the inner hall, and in a blink of an eye, she disappeared behind the heavy curtain, leaving the merchant standing under the porch and watching the sinking twilight in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, the merchant watched the palace people coming and going in front of him pass several times, and the little palace maid turned out from behind the curtain and beckoned to the merchant.

The merchants of Yilan Hall have been here a few times, but there has never been such a time as today, and the small study outside this dormitory has been completely replaced with Taizong's usual things.

The Ming Huang dragon robe inlaid with hair lining was hung behind the heavy curtain at the entrance, and in the upper left corner of the bookcase was a pile of Ming Huang holy decrees that had not yet been opened, and even the small hand stove in his hand at this time was also a five-clawed dragon style made of bright brass.

The incense burner on the sandalwood incense shelf in the corner of the house is smoky, and a fragrant fragrance fills the whole room, mixed with the warmth created by the red charcoal fire, and it is intoxicating!

Shang Shang followed behind the little palace maid and secretly glanced up at Emperor Taizong, who was sitting behind the bookcase, and in his impression, this seemed to be the first time she had been so close to this great man in history!

"Your Majesty! Susle meets you. The little palace maid whispered.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the bookcase and slowly flipping through a book, hummed noncommittally.

"Slave Su Lanxin knocks to see the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Shang Shang bowed down very reluctantly, this etiquette of seeing the Son of Heaven is not sloppy at all.

"Let's get flat!" Li Shimin lowered his eyes and looked at the merchant for a moment, and then he called out lukewarmly.

"Emperor Xie!" The merchant kowtowed again and thanked the emperor, and then slowly got up and stood on the ground.

Li Shimin waved his hand, dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, and a pair of sharp eyes swept from the top of the merchant's head to his feet.

Shang Shang lowered his head slightly, although he didn't see Li Shimin's eyes, he clearly felt a sense of oppression in Li Shimin's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat behind him.

"How is Wei Guogong's illness?"

It seemed like a century had passed, and just when the merchant thought he was about to be fossilized, a majestic voice rang out in his study.

"When the slave maid left the Guogong Mansion, Wei Guogong was still not awake, but ---- looked better." Shang Shang thought about it, but decided not to tell the story that Wei Guogong had eaten a Jianghu Langzhong Life Preservation Pill.

"I heard that you and Ziqian went to a Jimin Hall in Chang'an Xicheng to look for medicine?" Li Shimin's voice was deep, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.

Shangshang's heart couldn't help but "chuckle", even if he knew that her and Li Ziqian's every move would inevitably not escape Li Shimin's eyes, but Li Shimin's question still made Shangshang's heart sudden, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Yes." After thinking about it, the merchant still decided to admit it, but only to admit it.

"But is there a shortage of medicinal materials prescribed by the imperial doctor?"

Li Shimin looked at the low-eyed woman in front of him, and didn't understand why Mo'er wanted her wholeheartedly? In terms of appearance, she is indeed beautiful, but there are no more beautiful women in this world than her!

The merchant was stunned, how did she answer? How did she know what medicinal materials were available in the palace and what were lacking? If one of them is wrong, isn't it self-defeating?

"There is no shortage of medicinal materials in the palace, and the slave maid and the righteous brother visited Jimin Hall together just in case of emergency."

After thinking about it again and again, the businessman really couldn't find any reason to explain, so he had to say a more reasonable excuse.

"How did I hear that it was the people under the crown prince who sent you back to the palace?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness, Li Mo's existence is a taboo in the royal family, if this woman knows, he doesn't mind letting her keep her mouth shut forever.

"It was met by the slave and the righteous brother on the way back to the house, because the righteous brother was worried that it was too late and it was not safe for the slave and the maid to return to the palace alone, so he asked Li Gongzi to send the slave and maid back."

Shang Shang secretly rolled her eyes, if she couldn't figure out Li Shimin's mind at this time, she would be really a fool! Such a royal secret, how can she, an outsider, know about it, if she really says it, I'm afraid that ten more of her will not be enough to die!

Although Li Shimin had the intention of persecuting Li Mo by leaving her in the palace, if she really understood the reason, I was afraid that the first person who wanted her life would be Tang Taizong!

"Really?" Li Shimin stroked the brass hand stove in his hand, and the expression on his face looked a little cloudy under the candlelight in the room.

"Your Majesty! It's late at night, you've worked hard all day, so let's go to bed early! ”

Before the merchant could react, he only heard a soft and gentle female voice in the study.

When he peeked in, it was Wu Meiniang, who was dressed in a crimson palace robe, who turned out of the inner dormitory, and gently walked to Li Shimin's side and took over the brass hand stove he held in his hand.

At this time, Wu Meiniang had already taken off the pearls and emeralds of the day, her hair was like a cloud and naturally sprinkled on her shoulders, the fat powder on her white jade-like cheeks was not applied, her lips were not dotted and Zhu, her eyebrows were not drawn but Dai, and under her neck with beautiful lines was a snow-white half-exposed breast, and a pair of bright eyes were looking at Li Shimin with disgust.

"Mei Niang! I still have something to ask Su Sle, you can go and rest first! ”

Rao is Li Shimin is accustomed to seeing romantic battles, and at this time, he is also a little reluctant to face such a delicate and flower-like Wu Meiniang, and there seems to be a pair of hooks in those eyes that seem to be holding his soul! His words of refusal also seemed so pale and weak.

"Didn't the emperor just want to ask about Wei Guogong's condition? Didn't the head of the Tai Hospital pass it all when he went to court today? Su Sile is a musician and dancer, and she doesn't know medical skills, didn't the emperor ask her to ask Yu Blind? ”

Wu Meiniang put the copper stove in her hand on the bookcase, pulled the sleeves of Li Shimin's robe with a pair of small hands, and shook it gently, and the red lips and slightly pouted and angry looked like the woman couldn't help but move slightly.

Li Shimin looked at Wu Meiniang with a reluctant face. It seems that I don't want to continue asking questions today! That's it! Anyway, if you're in the palace, you can't run away, so let's talk about it in the future!

"Go down! I will summon you another day. ”

Although he was a little reluctant, in order not to make Wu Meiniang angry, Li Shimin still waved his hand to order the businessman to retreat, and he turned to coax the beauties around him.

Shang Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at Wu Meiniang gratefully, whether she was intentional or unintentional, her appearance could be regarded as a relief for Shang Shang.

Wu Meiniang, who walked into the inner dormitory with Li Shimin, quietly turned her head and showed a kind smile to the merchants.

She heard Taizong interrogating Shang Shang in the inner room, although she was a little puzzled by Li Shimin's displeasure, but out of pity for Shang Shang, she couldn't help but come out to relieve her of this siege.
