Chapter 167: The Worst Stage

Li Ke chatted with Melodious Yang, he either asked some things about Melodious that world, or listened to Melodious tell how wonderful that world was, and Melodious did not fall asleep until the sky was bright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ke got up, tucked the quilt corner for Melodious, kissed her forehead and went down to change clothes, he wanted to deal with the rest of the things properly.

The early sun of winter illuminated the cold green, the forbidden army from Chang'an had ridden into the palace of King Wu, and the forbidden army held a long sword to confine the people of the whole mansion into the courtyard, although they obeyed the orders of the eldest grandson Wuji but also knew Li Ke's grievances, so they just held the sword to threaten the innocent, and the attitude was not arrogant.

Li Ke walked out of the Mingxuan Pavilion as in the past, with no fear on his face, looking around, his children were protected by the nurse and Xiao Ruolan, the guards and servants stood or squatted under the blades of the forbidden army, and the maids were trembling with fright and even let out a muffled cry.

Blaze, Yun Xuan, and dozens of secret guards were ambushed on the roof of the house, waiting for an opportunity, if they joined forces, it would not be difficult to ensure that his family escaped.

Li Ke waved his hand in the direction of Blaze and the others, signaled them to retreat, and turned to the forbidden army and said, "Let go of this king's family, they are innocent." What the eldest grandson Wuji wants is me Li Ke, and this king will go with you. Please put away your sword and don't frighten the king's children. ”

The leader of the forbidden army nodded, and the forbidden army immediately put away their swords and dodged to make a way for him.

Melodious was awakened by the noise, except for herself, there was no one in Mingxuan Pavilion, she hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out of the door, and was confused and flustered by the forbidden army outside Mingxuan Pavilion for a while, and everything came without warning. Seeing Li Ke standing calmly in the center of the forbidden army, she immediately understood everything, it turned out that the matter had already reached the worst stage, but he deliberately concealed it in order not to worry her.

The uneasiness and speculation these days are true!

Melodious thought she would cry, but when she met Li Ke's smiling eyes, her heart settled down, and little by little it became silent.

It turns out that as long as you are with your beloved, even if you die, you will be happy!

Walked in front of the children with a melodious smile, half-squatted and hugged Li Kun and Chenxi into his arms, and after half a ring, he got up and kissed Li Xuan in the nurse's arms, and said to Xiao Ruolan: "The children will be entrusted to you in the future!"

"Sister, ...... you" Xiao Ruolan's eyes widened in confusion, her eyes filled with tears.

Melodious hurriedly covered Xiao Ruolan's lips, shook her head and said: "Xuan'er is still young, Kun'er and Chenxi don't remember anything, don't tell them all this when they grow up, and don't tell them about me, I don't want them to lose their mother's love at such a young age, leave regrets and shadows in their hearts, just say that they are all born to you."

Xiao Ruolan cried and nodded. "Well, sister, don't worry!"

Melodious walked up to Xiu'er again and wiped away her tears. "Xiu'er, you have been by my side for so many years, and you are the most trustworthy in your steady and cautious affairs. Although you and I are the master and servant, but we are like sisters, but unfortunately my sister has not been able to find a suitable person for you, if you find a heart in the future, you will marry, but my sister has something to ask for. ”

Xiu'er choked up and said, "Princess, why don't you tell Xiu'er!"

"Sister, please help Princess Xiao raise the children, from now on you will be their aunt, they do something wrong, you have to persuade Princess Xiao to discipline strictly, don't spoil, so that I can feel at ease." Also, I once wrote a letter and put it in my jewelry box, and when Dawn was an adult, I gave it to her, saying that it was given to her by someone who loved her very much. Melodious smiled and looked at the daughter on the side, they were still too young to understand what happened at this time, and their memories at this moment would fade with time, along with her mother, they would gradually forget.

Xiu'er bowed her head and cried: "Xiu'er has written it down."

Melodious turned around and saw that Little Pig and Li Wei had been following closely behind her, she smiled with relief, at least they would not forget her mother.

Melodious put the little heads of the two of them on her waist, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Pig and Xiao Wei have grown half a height to her, but unfortunately she can't see the day they grow up.

The two children looked up at Melodious, their eyes full of fear and sorrow, although there were no tears. Melodiously stroked the hair of the two children and felt a little distressed, they were educated very well by Li Ke, and they were never timid and panicked when they encountered something at a young age, but the child is a child after all, even if he doesn't cry, it doesn't mean that he won't be afraid, I'm afraid today's incident will cause them a lot of shadows.

"Mother, when will you and your father come back?" Piggy asked.

"Father and mother go and explain things clearly and come back, you have grown up, you have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters after your father and mother leave, do you know?" Melodious can't bear to tell the two children the truth, although they will have expectations, but it is better than despair, and they will understand when they grow up.

"We will take good care of our younger siblings until my father and mother come back!" Xiao Pig and Xiao Wei nodded sensibly.

"Mom believes that you will do a good job, so take your younger siblings back to the room with the nurse now!" Melodious held back tears and patted the heads of the two children as usual to urge.

After the children left, they walked through the forbidden army to Li Ke's side, smiling and holding Li Ke's arm.

Li Ke's thin lips grinned a warm smile, and it was no longer worth his life to have a lover who depended on him for life and death.

"Let's hit the road!" Li Ke said to the forbidden soldiers.

The forbidden soldiers were all shocked by Li Ke and the awe-inspiring momentum of the melodious righteousness. They were escorted out of the palace by the forbidden army, and the guards and servants behind them knelt down one after another, but they wept but did not cry, and knelt silently like that, kneeling to see off their most revered master.

Looking back, farewell, children!

……

The eldest grandson Wuji touched the melons along the vine, and through this vain rebellion case, he caught a lot of them, and the next step is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if there is the slightest mistake, it means digging a grave for himself in this cruel palace struggle.

Although Tang Gaozong Li Zhi believed that there was this rebellion case, the perpetrators found out were all his closest people, which made him a little suspicious, and he could still believe that other people had the intention of rebellion, but how could his third brother talk about rebellion if he had already had the intention of retiring? However, the ministers and the most trusted uncle said that the reason why the third brother proposed to retire was nothing more than a ruse to cover up the rebellion. Thinking of brotherly love, he proposed to remove the death of the third brother, but the prison did not allow mercy, the palace struggle did not allow mercy, and the ministers and uncles refused to agree to the dismissal. A few words left him, the emperor, speechless, and he could no longer find a reason to distinguish them.

In February of the fourth year of Yonghui, Tang Gaozong had no choice but to issue an edict that all those who participated in the attempted rebellion, whether they were relatives of the emperor or important members of the imperial court, would be sentenced to death, and all other party members involved would also be given death, exile, and distribution. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, was exiled to Xiangzhou, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu, and Fang Yiai were escorted to the Xishi execution ground and publicly beheaded, and Li Ke, Li Yuanjing, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Baling, Princess Danyang and other royal family members were killed in their own houses, and their descendants were exiled to the wet land of Lingnan.

On the second day of the second month of February, the eldest grandson Wuji personally brought the poisoned wine to Li Ke's mansion in Chang'an, he was very excited, he had fought with Li Ke for so many years, and today he was finally able to get rid of the troubles forever.

The eldest grandson Wuji entered the door under layers of protection, which made Li Ke want to laugh unconsciously.

"What, are you afraid that this king will kill you?" Li Ke scoffed.

"Joke, you are now a fish and meat slaughtered by anyone on the case, and the corpse is still alive and gone, so there is no need to worry!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed after speaking, as if he had heard a big joke.

The corners of Li Ke's mouth picked an arc, and sarcasm arose.

"Really? Eldest grandson Wuji, do you believe it? Li Ke stared at the eldest grandson Wuji with half-squinted eyes, as if this light would be heart-warming and chilling.

"Believe what?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked uneasily, Li Ke's eyes made him afraid.

"This king's today is your tomorrow!" Li Ke took a few steps in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, and Cen Leng's voice overflowed from his thin lips, making people tremble.

The eldest grandson Wuji retreated behind the guards, and said tremblingly: "You are a young demon to confuse the people."

"Hiding from what? This king will not kill you now, this king wants to leave you to see the end of stealing authority and harming kindness, my Li family ancestors have spirits, and your eldest grandson Wuji is about to be wiped out! Li Ke reached out and snatched the poisonous wine from the jade plate. Get lost! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji fled in a hurry, Li Ke's eyes made him afraid, Li Ke's words made him even more afraid, he didn't dare to see Li Ke drink poisonous wine with his own eyes. (To be continued.) )
