"Your Highness, slave maid ......"

In the wing room of the main courtyard of King Zhou's mansion, the lady of the Lin family was humming a small song to coax Shangguan Wan'er to sleep, and suddenly saw the door curtain move, and hurriedly raised her head.

"Shh......h

Li Xian was worried about disturbing Shangguan Wan'er, so he hurriedly put up a finger, put it on his lips, sighed lightly, signaled the Lin family lady to be quiet, and took a few big strides to the front of the couch, looking at Shangguan Wan'er who had sunk into sleep with pity.

Poor child, at the end of the day, he still can't escape the life of an orphan! Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's ruddy little face, Li Xian's heart rolled through a burst of pity and guilt - Li Xian never concealed his love for Shangguan Wan'er, even if it was the fate of the previous life, but for Li Xian, there is no substantial difference between the previous life and the present life, from the bottom of his heart, Li Xian never wanted Shangguan Wan'er to be hurt in any way, which is also the root cause why Li Xian was willing to risk the danger of gangsters to keep Shangguan Wan'er in the mansion, if possible, Li Xian didn't want to save Shangguan Wan'er's life, It's a pity that this matter is really beyond the scope of Li Xian's ability, he can't and doesn't dare to directly confront Empress Wu without adequate preparation, and he doesn't even dare to remind Shangguan Yi of it, he can only watch Shangguan Yi's family die so inexplicably, and the guilt in his heart sinks unspeakably, so oppressed that Li Xian has the urge to look up to the sky and roar.

"Your Highness."

Just when Li Xian was stunned and stupid, the door curtain moved, and Gao Miao had hurried into the room.

"Huh?"

Li Xian woke up from his emotion, looked back, and saw the strange look on Gao Miao's face, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then sighed softly.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince went and returned, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited you to the palace to talk."

Seeing that Li Xian's face was wrong, Gao Miao didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly bowed down and reported in a low voice.

Narrative? What kind of fame is it? As soon as Li Xian heard that the prince had an invitation, his heart couldn't help but move, although he couldn't figure out the intention of the prince's summons for a while, but he faintly felt that such an invitation might not be a good thing, and he didn't want to go, but he was worried that the prince would have some kind of demons on his side, after all, the prince was in charge of the country at this time, and if he gave a small shoe to wear, it was really not easy to deal with.

"You go first, and then go alone." Li Xian pondered for a long time, but he still felt that his heart was not very steady, so he considered his tone and commanded lightly.

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

Li Xian had already given the order, Gao Miao didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly answered the promise, and went to perfunctory Wang De without mentioning it.

There is something strange, there is definitely something strange! Could it be that he still doesn't give up? Possibly, most likely! After Gao Miao went, Li Xian paced back and forth in front of the couch, pondering and repeatedly calculating the various possibilities, he had already deduced what the prince's intention was to invite - although the prince now has some team background, he also won the hearts of important ministers in the court, but after all, as a prince, even if he supervises the country, he must live in the palace for a long time, and he can't come forward to do many things himself, and he urgently needs a helper who can help him act secretly, or a thug, obviously, among the brothers, only Li Xian is the most suitable, the reason is very simple, Those half-brothers are all away early, the prince and those brothers have no friendship at all, it is impossible to entrust private/private matters, besides, even if the prince has a heart, it will not be possible, after all, all the half-brothers are far away, in the court and politics, there is really no effort, even if you want to help, you can't help, and the younger brother Li Xulun is still young and unusable, and Li Xian is not right with him, so Li Xian, who has publicly announced that he has abandoned literature and martial arts, has become Li Hong's only helper. And this is the root cause of Li Hong's perseverance in pulling Li Xian to him!

Things are really troublesome enough, and it seems that it is really impossible to go away! Although Li Xian has guessed the intention of the prince's invitation, when it comes to the countermeasure, he is really not too good in his heart - it is impossible to vote for himself, but how to refuse is a headache for Li Xian, and the refusal has proven to be unworkable, so just say "no"? It was purely his own search, and so on, Li Xian's head was several times bigger, and after wandering around the room for a while, he still couldn't make a decision, and he was upset, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore, stomped his feet, and didn't care about the expressions of the ladies of the Lin family who were standing restlessly on the side, and strode towards the front yard.

"Your Highness."

In the hall of the second entrance in the front yard, Gao Miao was talking nonsense with Wang Dequan, and suddenly found that Li Xian turned out from the inside, hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly greeted him, at the same time, his eyes rolled a few times, and inadvertently, he shook his head slightly, implying that he had not been able to get words out of Wang Dequan's mouth.

"Prepare the car, go to the palace alone!"

For Gao Miao's hints, although Li Xian saw it in his eyes, he didn't say anything about it, let alone think it was strange, after all, Wang Dequan was favored by thoughtful characters such as the prince, and he was not a simple person, of course, since Li Xian had guessed the intention of the prince's summoning, he didn't mind Gao Miao's ineffective work, so he nodded noncommittally, waved his hand, and commanded.

"Yes, slave and maid obey."

Seeing that Li Xian didn't mean to blame himself, Gao Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly agreed to the promise, and after arching his hand to Wang Dequan, he went to arrange relevant travel matters without mentioning it.

"Princess, I'm tired, on such a hot day, let you go back and forth, Xiao Wang really can't help it."

After Gao Miao left, Li Xian smiled and bowed his hand to Wang Dequan, who was standing aside, and apologized in an easy-going tone.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's a great blessing for the slave maid to serve the two highnesses, it is a blessing that the slave maid has cultivated for several generations, it's too late to cherish it, how dare you complain, hehe, Your Highness, please."

Wang Dequan was still worried that Li Xiantuo would not go to the East Palace, and he was very nervous, but at this time, seeing Li Xian happily going to the appointment, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, so he smiled and greeted a few words, and then cautiously urged.

"Well, that's good, there's Prince Lao to lead the way."

Since he had to go early and late, Li Xian was also very simple, as soon as the words fell, with a flick of his big sleeves, Shi Shiran walked in the direction of the gate, Wang Dequan saw this, and hurriedly trotted all the way to follow......

Dizzy, this time it's a big problem! The carriage has arrived outside the gate of the East Palace, Li Xianfang got out of the car, and before he had time to tell Gao Miao to go and deliver the sign, he saw the prince Li Hongzheng, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, standing in front of the palace gate with a smile, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he knew that the prince's posture of such courtesy only meant one thing, that is, the prince had made up his mind, and he must not be allowed to Li Xian beyond his control!

"The younger brother saw the prince's brother, and the labor brother came to greet him, and the younger brother was terrified."

Seeing that the prince put on such an inevitable posture, Li Xian was quite worried in his heart, but no matter how uneasy he was, he couldn't save the etiquette he should see, so he hurriedly ran forward and bowed to the end to greet him.

"The seventh brother doesn't have to be like this, they are all their own brothers, why do you need to see the outside like this, come, accompany Gu for a walk."

Li Hong glanced at Li Xian meaningfully, raised his hand with a smile, signaled Li Xian to excuse himself, and then leaned back and made a gesture of "please".

"Brother obeys, brother prince, please."

knew that this level was difficult, but at this time, Li Xian couldn't escape, so he could only laugh with him, and also made a gesture of "please", signaling the prince to invite first.

"Hmm."

Li Hong smiled and nodded, but did not say any more greetings, raised his feet and walked slowly into the palace, Li Xian saw this, hurriedly half a step behind, followed behind, the two brothers each had their own thoughts, although the road was constantly talking and laughing, but the atmosphere was really not harmonious, but it made the estrangement between each other more obvious.

"Seventh brother, come, sit down, hehe, my brother is weak, and he is not as strong as the seventh brother's martial arts practice, and he is panting tightly after walking a few steps, ashamed, ashamed."

The little brothers wandered all the way to a small pavilion near the pond in the back garden, Li Hong walked into the pavilion with his feet, sat down on his own, and then waved his hand with a smile and explained it self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Xie Prince sits."

Li Xian practiced martial arts for a long time, and was made two times in a row by Li Hong, at this time, he was indeed sleepy, and he was too lazy to be more polite, after thanking him, he sat down opposite Li Hong, smiled faintly, but refused to say more words, just because Li Xian knew that the prince was going to have a showdown with himself, before he figured out the prince's hole cards, Li Xian did not want the prince to have any bad associations, so he sat down in a regular manner, and listened to the instructions respectfully.

"This time, the Shangguan Boss has suffered misfortune all over the house, and he is deeply saddened, and he has ordered the Ministry of Rites to ask for a nickname for it, and the discussion is especially undecided, I don't know if the seventh brother has any opinions on this?"

As soon as Li Hong saw Li Xian's behavior like this, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, but he didn't say anything about it, just nodded thoughtfully, and threw out the matter of Shangguan Yi as an introduction.

"Everything is up to the prince's brother, and the younger brother has no objection."

Although Li Xian sympathized with Shangguanyi's experience, he never wanted to dwell on this matter, in Li Xian's opinion, everyone is dead, no matter how much he tosses, it is a waste, not to mention that this is not a good opportunity for Shangguanyi to overturn the case, no matter how useless he is, he is unwilling to take Li Hong's topic.

"Oh? Doesn't the seventh brother have any other thoughts about the cause of Shangguan's death? ”

Li Hong saw that Li Xian didn't take over, so he refused to give up, smiled playfully, and then his face suddenly sank, and he threw out some topics with ulterior motives, which made Li Xian's heart sink slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but be awe-inspiring......
