Li You said: "This matter has been carefully thought about. The people who chased and killed Qiao Mengjie back then only knew about Qiao Mengjie and Li Yuanji, but didn't know about her and my father. Even if someone knows it, no one has mentioned it for more than ten years, which means that those who know dare not mention it, since they didn't mention it back then, they won't mention it now. ”

Knowing the secret that the royal family is unwilling to let others know, it is a dead end. Even if someone could connect these two things, he would rot it in his stomach.

Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said, "That's good." The problem now is that you must have detailed evidence to prove Gu Ruoyu's identity. Otherwise, not only your father will have doubts in his heart, but also between the government and the opposition. ”

Li You said: "This matter has already been thought about by the minister, so you can rest assured." ”

Empress Changsun said: "Okay, then I can rest assured." ”

Li You asked, "What should I do next?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Don't worry, your father will definitely investigate this matter." Let's not take the initiative to talk about it, and wait for him to ask. ”

"Then the minister will go back to prepare to prove Gu Ruoyu's identity, and the minister will retire." Li You said.

As soon as Li You walked out of the gate of the Lizheng Palace, he heard the laughter of his son.

The snow stopped last night, the snow on the square in front of the Lizheng Palace, and all the roads have been cleaned, there is still thick snow in the gardens on both sides, and the son and a group of eunuchs and palace maids are building snowmen to play, she is wearing a purple red blouse, a small face may be frozen, or it may be the reflection of clothes, showing a faint red, looking delicate and lovely.

Li You stopped and stood on the side of the road looking at his son admiringly.

Soon, a palace maid saw Li You and told her son-in-law. The son exclaimed in surprise: "Fifth brother." "I ran over as fast as I could.

Li You picked her up and asked, "Son, is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold." The son said. After speaking, she stretched out her little hand that was red from the cold, and said expectantly, "Fifth brother, where is my gift?" ”

The son has developed a habit, Li You has prepared a lot of toys for her, and every time she comes to the Lizheng Palace, he will bring one to her.

Li You smiled: "Yes." He put down his son, picked up the glove that hung around her neck, put it on her, and pulled out a red-painted spinning top from his pocket. Don't underestimate this seemingly ordinary toy for modern people, it is a high-tech processed product in Datang.

First of all, it is the cutting tool lathe, followed by the grinding tool grinding wheel, the drilling bit, and the steel ball at the top, all of which represent Datang's most advanced processing technology, but there is no electricity. If such a spinning top is made by hand, it will take a craftsman a whole day to process such exquisite cylinders and arcs, as well as the surface finish. With these advanced processes, it only takes a few minutes for a craftsman to complete a spinning top, and if it is an assembly line production, on average, several can be produced in one minute.

Li You took out a smooth grip from his pocket and tied a rope to it.

Spinning tops are not rare, they have a history of thousands of years in our country, palace maids and eunuchs have seen them, and their sons have also played with them, but since Li You has taken it out, everyone still has some expectations.

Li You bent down, rotated the spinning top in his hand vigorously, and then waved the whip and twitched, and the red spinning top spun rapidly, like a red flame burning.

As the top rotates at high speed, a deep whining sound and a crisp beep sound combine wonderfully to form a pleasant harmony. This is a harmony gyroscope made by Li You by punching holes of different diameters and angles on the top.

"Wow, it's fun, it's fun, fifth brother, give it to me." The son excitedly took the whip from Li You's hand and whipped it.

Li You stared at his son for a moment, then turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Li Shimin came over, Li You was about to salute him, Li Shimin motioned him to keep quiet, came over to stand with him, and looked lovingly at the happy son-in-law who was playing.

Li You looked at the sons who were all in one, and remembered Gu Ruoyu's miserable life experience, and couldn't help but feel sad.

At this moment, Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were also covered with a layer of fog.

The son chased the spinning top, turned around, saw Li Shimin, hurriedly put down the whip in her hand, and rushed over. She came to Li Shimin, saluted him in a decent manner and said, "The son sees his father." ”

Li Shimin happily hugged her and kissed her on the face, the beard on the side of his mouth made her itch and let out a giggle laugh.

Li Shimin made love to his son-in-law for a while, and said to her: "Son, you can play by yourself, my father still has something to do." ”

He put down his son and said to Li You, "You come with me." After speaking, he walked towards the inside of the Lizheng Palace. It turned out that he knew that Li You was here, so he rushed over.

In the middle hall, Empress Changsun saluted Li Shimin, and then saluted him again and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Li You knew what she meant, so he also saluted with her and said, "The son is also guilty, please punish your father." ”

Li Shimin was not angry, the entire Tang Dynasty, the two people in front of him were the most important people to him, he knew who they were, and knew that they were not maliciously concealing Gu Ruoyu's life experience.

He said, "All right, sit down." ”

Empress Eldest Sun had already told Li Shimin about the situation she had last night, and she said to Li You: "You'er, you can tell your father about Gu Ruoyu in detail." ”

Li You said, "Yes, Queen Mother." He said to Li Shimin: "Father, this matter has to start with the engraving art competition......

It took Li You a full hour to finish the matter of Gu Kun and Gu Ruoyu, and he said: "Father, when the sons saw that you were so fond of your son, they thoroughly understood Gu Kun's wishes, and I also hoped that Gu Ruoyu could be loved by his father. ”

At this time, Li You was deeply immersed in a sad mood, and his voice was a little choked.

Li Shimin didn't speak for a long time, since Gu Ruoyu appeared, he has remembered the past many times, especially yesterday, when Empress Changsun said Gu Ruoyu's identity, his mind was full of Qiao Mengjie's gentle and beautiful woman, her smile appeared in front of his eyes, and it seemed that he could touch it with his hand.

However, he would never see Qiao Mengjie again.

Back then, after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji pressed him step by step, he had no time or even no ability to solve the matter between him and Qiao Mengjie, and after the Xuanwumen incident, he ascended the throne, so he could calmly solve this matter. However, it was already too late.

At this moment, Li Shimin, with tears in his eyes, fell into a state of contemplation again.
