Chapter 105: The Fall
Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Li Mu worriedly and said, "Don't you often say that Uncle Siwen and you are like brothers, why are you so angry today?" ”
"Angry?" Pastor Li sighed: "I can't wait to beat him!" The bastard boy with no eyes still caused him a big disaster in the end! Saying that, Li Mu slapped his thigh in annoyance and said, "Blame me!" It's all my fault! It was my negligence, thinking that nothing would happen, and conniving at him! Alas! It's all my fault! ”
"What the hell is going on?" Li Zhien also interjected and asked, she probably noticed something, and asked in a low voice, "But is it related to Naza?" I just saw Uncle Siwen go out with Nazha. ”
"That's Naza!" Li Mu said hatefully: "She's an assassin!" ”
"Huh?" Bai Qiaoqiao was surprised: "How can this be? Naza...... He doesn't look like an assassin. ”
Li Zhien's concern was indeed another aspect, and he asked, "Husband, who is the target of her assassination?" ”
Li Mu replied: "Fortunately, it's not Your Majesty, and it's not the Emperor. Her target is the Turkic Jieli, and seeing that she leaves no room for action, it seems that she has a blood feud with Jieli. ”
Jieli set up in Dingxiang for many years, and often Turkic cavalry came to Mayi to plunder. Therefore, Bai Qiaoqiao's perception of Jieli is very bad. Hearing Li Mu say that Nazha's enemy was Jieli, he said: "Husband, isn't Jieli the enemy of our Tang Dynasty?" Since Nazha's enemy is him, it means that Nazha is from our side, why is the husband so angry? ”
Li Mu smiled bitterly: "Madam, things are not so simple. Although the Turks have been fighting with our Tang Dynasty for many years, they have now been destroyed for our Tang Dynasty. Although Jieli is the king of the fallen country, His Majesty is as open-minded as the sea, and has pardoned his crimes, and named him the general of the right guard, he is now the general of our Tang Dynasty! was assassinated in heaven and earth, and the assassin was brought by the son of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, if this was spread out, wouldn't it be confirmed that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were plotting to murder people? ”
"Once such a rumor appears, His Majesty's statement will definitely be damaged, and Siwen will cause a big disaster. If he doesn't know what the relationship between him and Nazha is, Your Majesty will be calm, I'm afraid Siwen will ......."
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard that the matter was so serious, she hurriedly asked, "Will the husband be implicated?" ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "It's true that it can't implicate me, but I'm Siwen's brother-in-law, how can I sit idly by?" ”
"Alas......" Bai Qiaoqiao sighed, "Why does Your Majesty want to pardon Jieli's crimes? He's done so many bad things, he should be put to death. ”
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and explained: "Madam, things in this world are not so black and white. Jieli did a lot of evil things, but he was the Great Khan of the Turks, Uighurs, and Tielers, and if he was executed, it was hard to guarantee what these Hu people would do. If they feel that it is impossible to escape death if they surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they may unite, so that the border troubles will never be calmed down. His Majesty is not a faint king, he left Jieli, firstly, to appease, and secondly, to show these nomads the bearing of the Tang Dynasty, in order to tell them that as long as they submit to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not blame the past and treat them well. These things are complicated and you don't need to understand. ”
"Hmm." Bai Qiaoqiao nodded, she is not a very curious person, nor is she a talented woman like Wang Ou and Wei Yingluo who is not to be outdone, she enjoys the feeling of hiding under Li Mu's protection and being a little woman. Since Li Mu said that she didn't need to understand, she didn't want to know.
Li Mu looked at the table full of untouched dishes, reached out and folded a chicken leg in his mouth, and said to Li Zhien: "If you can't eat it later, let the waiter bring a few lunch boxes over, and pack them for me to go home, we have to live, I can go back tonight, you can sleep when you get home." ”
Li Zhien answered, and Li Mu turned to leave. The two women glanced at each other, but they didn't have much appetite.
Li Mu came out of his private room, hesitated for a moment, and went to Li Shimin's private room to order first. As for what happened downstairs, he just said that there was a little misunderstanding, and Jieli and his party left first, and did not say anything.
Of course, this can be regarded as a bully, but Li Mu has no choice, if he plays according to the truth, Li Siwen will be implicated. So far, in order to keep Li Siwen, he has to hide it first, and then investigate the matter clearly to see if he can be picked out.
Before that, he didn't plan to tell anyone about this matter, including Li Ji.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not doubt him, and asked Li Mu to stay and eat together, how could Li Mu be in the mood to eat, under the pretext that there were still things to arrange, he reached out and snatched away the chicken leg that Li Taigang had just broken, and the person was gone.
Poor Li Tai's mouth was open, but he bit it empty, and his round face was so aggrieved that it was wrinkled, which made people feel sick. Li Chengqian laughed loudly, was glared at by Li Shimin, and quickly held back, puffing as if the tire was flat.
In front of Wang Ou, the prince was so formless, which made Li Shimin feel quite gloomy. He wanted to say something, but when he saw that Wang Ou and Empress Changsun were talking happily, he couldn't interject and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Looking at the enthusiasm of the two, it is like an old friend who has not seen each other for many years, and there is no trace of embarrassment half an hour ago.
Li Shimin was so interested, he was bored, he poured himself a drink, and he didn't realize that he had a few more drinks. Although the degree of champion red is not high and the entrance is soft, it is just like the red wine of later generations, full of stamina. Soon, Li Shimin was drunk.
It just so happens that it's almost time for the palace ban. Gonggong Gao arranged for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to drive back to the palace, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai also left together, one went back to the East Palace and the other went back to the palace.
Li Mu stood at the door, saw off the boss's family, and sighed. Something like this happened today, Li Shimin's pressure here was really a bit big, watching the carriage drift away, Li Mu instantly felt that the pressure had decreased a lot.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze passed by, and a pair of jade hands were placed on his shoulders. Li Mu's body tightened, and he turned his head slowly, just facing Wang Ou.
"Auntie...... Today's thing, I, I, I ......"
Looking at Wang Ou's eyes, Li Mu stuttered suddenly, he didn't know how to explain, and finally had to laugh dryly.
Wang Ou also drank two cups with the eldest grandson queen, two red clouds appeared on his cheeks, no longer the dignified and virtuous appearance of the past, but like a girl who returned to the cardamom years, a little more clever and cute.
Wang Ou looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention here, he suddenly grabbed Li Mu's neck and dragged him to a hidden corner. Li Mu didn't dare to struggle, nor did he dare to shout, if people saw it, he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
Wang Ou 'slammed' Li Mu against the wall, approached him, and stared at his eyes. Li Mu's back was tightly pressed against the wall, and she could smell the wine in her mouth, and her heart was pounding, what are you doing, are you going crazy with too much drinking? Are you finally going to do something to me?
Wang Ou opened his mouth drunken and asked softly: "Aunt asked you, did you really say that I am happy with you?" ”
Li Mu said nervously: "Auntie, you listen to my explanation......"
"Auntie doesn't want you to explain." Wang Ou interrupted Li Mu's words and said to himself: "Auntie is not happy today, do you know why?" ”
"Huh?"
"I told you everything, there is nothing between me and His Majesty, why don't you believe it?" Wang Ou looked at Li Mu resentfully, like a resentful woman who was misunderstood by her lover, with tears in her eyes, and said: "You still made such poems, do you know that my heart is so panicked when I hear it?" ”
As he spoke, Wang Ou actually grabbed Li Mu's hand and pressed it to his chest, Li Mu wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. He only felt that his palm was covered by something soft, and although he could feel its curvature accurately through his clothes.
I'm going to ......
In an instant, countless pictures appeared in Li Mu's mind. As a software engineer proficient in 3D modeling, he already has the shape of the object in his mind.
When Wang Ou saw him, the corners of his mouth turned up, let go of his hand, stretched out his slender jade finger, and pointed it on his head.
"You really have bad intentions towards your aunt, what a bad boy."
"Auntie, you listen to my explanation, I, I, I am passive, you hold my hand...... You ......" Li Mu gestured, but he couldn't go on, big man, taking advantage and quibbling, it's not his style.
"Aunt likes you too." Wang Ou suddenly lost his smile and said very seriously: "However, I am fifteen years older than you. We...... After all, we can't be together, if you have me in your heart, I will be content. ”
"Auntie......" Li Mu was a little panicked, he was not hypocritical, but he didn't understand, where was he worthy of Wang Ou's admiration, if in terms of the communication between the two, it didn't seem to be too close, why did she fall in love?
How did he know how lethal the Tang poems he plagiarized were to the Tang people. When Li Bai was in Chang'an, it was Gao Lishi taking off his boots, and Yang Yuhuan grinding ink! Those who recommend pillow seats can line up from Suzaku Street to Chengtianmen. If you use it as an analogy in the future, the man who can write poetry is the Tang Dynasty's 'idol', Li Bai is the most popular fried chicken, the king of the entertainment industry, Li Mu plagiarized his poems, and he became the king.
Wang Ou was a talented woman when she was not out of the cabinet, and a talented woman couldn't escape such a literary hooligan. Not to mention, after these days of contact, Li Mu and his different styles of acting have left a special mark on Wang Ou's heart.
Wang Ou is very shy in her heart, she has traveled all these years, and the amount of alcohol has already been practiced, a few glasses of wine are nothing to her, she is not drunk at all. She just said what was in her heart with the intention of drinking, otherwise in a normal state, she would not have had the courage to say it at all.
Now that she has expressed her intentions, the big stone in her heart has also been put down, she looked at Li Mu's panicked expression, and suddenly a shameful picture appeared in her mind. When she got married, the family also invited her mother-in-law to teach her some things, but the Cui family was not blessed, and she never tried.
Wang Ou looked at Li Mu, pursed his lips, and unconsciously moved closer, Li Mu had a premonition that something was going to happen, and he was so nervous that his breathing stopped.
Suddenly, Wang Ou plucked up his courage, closed his eyes and tiptoed!
