Chapter 225: The Empress Dies

Li Xiuning has been very worried recently, his father's letter has not been sent for a long time, and he thought that he could delay the marriage so he could go around for his own happiness, but the accident was too serious.

I don't know what to do now, and I want to find Li De to come over and ask about it, but I'm afraid that it will hurt people, and people will find out that it won't hurt people.

To say that Li Xiuning is not bad-hearted, he is still very calm at the critical time, and he believed that Li De did things from the beginning.

"Miss, Princess Lanling is visiting." The maid came to report.

Li Xiuning went out to greet her, at this time there was emptiness in her heart and she just needed someone to come over to talk to her, and it was fate for women to make friends with each other, and the two had become acquainted since the last polo.

Personalities and hobbies are very similar, and they have become confidants and friends without seeing each other twice, and their hearts and minds are not shallower than those between men.

"Why didn't Princess Lanling come to see me for so long?" Li Xiuning also asked in a coquettish voice like a little daughter.

Lanling is still a princess, and said unhurriedly: "My queen mother is sick and has been taking care of her and can't come out, so I'll come to see you whenever I'm free." ”

Li Xiuning has heard some things, since the last time Lanling was grounded by the emperor, there has been no news for a long time, and she is also worried.

For a while, Li Xiuning didn't know what to say, she cared about the queen, and she didn't say anything about the royal affairs.

"Has Li De come to see you recently?" Lan Ling asked first.

"I haven't been here, maybe it's because of the polo thing." Li Xiuning said.

The Li family was implicated in the loss of only reputation, after all, in addition to the accident, the perpetrator is still the Li family's 'big white', how can it be said, for this reason really spent a lot of money to visit Chai Mansion, in fact, they all understand that although it is not intentional, it is still okay to have a good time.

The Chai family did not pursue it, it is very common to be surprised, and it can only be said that Chai Shao is a little back, who can blame.

"This Li De also told me before that I should take care of you as much as possible, why don't you turn your head and don't care, and you can't let him go easily when you meet him." Lanling said unhappily.

Li Xiuning had already pondered it, whenever Lanling mentioned Li De, her mood was very wrong, as if someone owed her money, her tone, expression, and attitude changed greatly, as if she was particularly concerned and disgusted, and felt awkward in the conflict.

"Your Royal Highness won't have a crush on my cousin." Li Xiuning asked softly with the boldness.

"What do you say, this palace is not a good match for him." Lan Ling immediately quibbled, without a trace of anger.

"Then I can only feel sorry for my cousin, he is not blessed with such a beautiful woman...... Li De, why are you here? Li Xiuning said okay, and suddenly said in surprise.

"Huh?"

Lanling lowered his head and covered his face, if such a straightforward word was really let the other party listen to it, how would it be good, he felt really inappropriate in his heart, the first thing he thought of was that the impression in the other party's heart would become extremely bad, and he really regretted his outspoken nature.

"Hahaha, and said that it was not interesting to my cousin, such a big reaction can't be faked." Li Xiuning smiled coquettishly.

Lan Ling felt shy knowing that he had been deceived, but fortunately, he didn't really hear it, which was a sigh of relief.

"You're really necrotic." Lan Ling said angrily.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, I'm just trying to test it, who thinks that you are not reserved, and blame others." Li Xiuning said with a smile.

When the two girls were talking about their daily routines, there was chaos in the palace.

The news of Queen Dugu's funeral soon came out, and the people of Chang'an City all lamented it.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, something is wrong, hurry back to the palace." Princess Lanling's maid was already afraid of being polite, so she rushed in directly to report the news, and after learning that Queen Dugu had passed away, Lanling was not good.

Li Xiuning didn't know how to persuade her when she saw this, Lanling was in a very bad mood at this time, and the maids in the mansion helped send her to the carriage.

Li Mansion, after learning the news, Li An, as General Zuo, entered the palace as soon as possible and started his duties, feeling that the atmosphere was tense.

In Chang'an City, there are countless people who come and go in the families of the families of the families of the eunuchs, and the harem is very related, and I don't know how many people are involved.

Zhang Chuchen still didn't take the usual path, and came back directly over the wall, and saw Li De leisurely closing his eyes on the recliner in the courtyard, and his quiet face seemed to be asleep.

But in fact, when Zhang Chuchen came back, he had already woken up.

"Li De, something happened in the harem, the queen was funeral, the investigation of the case in Dali Temple was stopped, and Chai Shao's matter was a foregone conclusion."

"Queen Dugu, it's a pity." Li De lamented.

Zhang Chuchen stared at Li De in a daze, it was really hard to believe his reaction, because she felt that Li De has always been able to see the essence of problems, why does he suddenly feel that he has changed now, the things behind it must not be simple, and sighing is useless.

Zhang Chuchen has been cultivated to see too many things since she was a child, and it does not have much impact on the queen's affairs in her opinion, but makes her realize the interests involved.

What comes to mind subconsciously is not a feeling from one's own self, but objective and rational, which makes people absolutely cold.

Zhang Chuchen thought that she and Li De should be the same kind of people, but in fact they weren't, but it didn't matter, things went on.

"Next, I think King Jin will take this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and it is up to you to do what you want to do on the roster." Zhang Chuchen said.

After a while, Li Decai said: "Sooner or later, the roster itself is a trouble, and it still has to be handed over for today's time, and the current situation is just right to hand it over to Emperor Wen of Sui." ”

Zhang Chuchen had already said that Li De would make this choice, since he said that it would be given to the emperor, it would be good, and it would be unknown how the world would change at that time, and he suddenly felt that Li De deliberately did not want Yang Guang to ascend the throne.

This matter has been decided, and she is not good at returning, she just wants to be her chivalrous girl in peace, carefree and not involved in disputes.

The reality is that it seems too ideal.

"Prepare yourself and see how Your Majesty reacts when the time comes." Li De muttered, how to send the roster to the emperor, he didn't have to worry about it at all, Zhang Chuchen was Yang Su's subordinate before, how could there be no way.

In fact, this is exactly the case, and networking is not something that can be built casually.

Emperor Wen of Sui was in no mood at all at this time, Queen Dugu was too important to him, and he would never leave him all the way, and Queen Dugu also accounted for half of the credit for the country.

In a hurry, the situation in the palace became more tense.

Emperor Wen of Sui has summoned the King of Jin into the palace, and he has not come out until now, who knows what is being discussed, the spies of the ministers, and the family are all inquiring.
