Chang'an City, the Northwest Palace.

Tomorrow is about to set out for the expedition, and the last dinner before leaving, Li You decided to enjoy it with his wife and children, after all, this expedition may be a long part.

At dinner, the women were very envious of Kumiko Takahashi, who could be by Li You's side alone for a long time in the future.

Kumiko Takahashi was depressed and didn't know what to say. This afternoon, she sent a telegram to her father, Kazuki Takahashi, excitedly informing her of the news that she was going to return to Kyushu, but Kazuki Takahashi called her back and asked her to try to temporarily prevent Li You from coming to Kyushu.

Li You will leave Chang'an tomorrow, and Li Chengqian will lead hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of people in Chang'an City to see him off, and Li You will also hold a swearing-in meeting, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites have made corresponding arrangements in accordance with Li You's deployment. At this time, wouldn't it be a joke not to let Li You go?

Kumiko Takahashi is too difficult. She went to the telegram to ask her father the reason, but Takahashi Kazuki did not explain, but only said that she should find a way, and she was not allowed to tell Li You the reason for the matter. Kumiko Takahashi really had no choice, so she had to communicate with Kazuki Takahashi again.

In today's Northwest Palace, there are many radio stations, such as Li You, Hamid, Pei Dilan, Murong Bo and Takahashi Kumiko. The magpie's confidential room received a dense radio signal, and from the method of the transmitter, it was known that it was sent by the telegraph operator brought by Kumiko Takahashi. At the moment when Li You was about to set out for the expedition, Takahashi Kumiko's dense telegraph exchange with Kyushu attracted the attention of the magpie.

Magpie doesn't suspect Kumiko Takahashi, she just feels a little curious, so she tells Hakutora about it.

Not long ago, there was an incident in which a female assassin of the Japanese slave country assassinated the prince, and Takahashi Kumiko turned out to be a female assassin of the Japanese slave country, although the white tiger would not suspect Takahashi Kumiko, who was the princess, but he faintly had a sense of foreboding, and he felt very uncomfortable. However, after all, Takahashi Kumiko was a princess and gave birth to the prince's child, and White Tiger had no reason to suspect Takahashi Kumiko, so he forced himself to hold back the urge to remind Li You.

Kumiko Takahashi couldn't convince her father Kazuki Takahashi, so she had to think of a way.

At this moment, Li You was talking and laughing, the women and children in the restaurant were happy, Takahashi Kumiko looked at the joyful atmosphere in front of her, and her heart was extremely sad, she didn't know whether she should tell Li You about her father's request, and she didn't know how to stop Li You.

Takahashi Kumiko was a little in a daze, and the attentive Xiao Wanyu noticed this, and she asked with concern, "Kumiko, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Although Xiao Wanyu's voice was small, it also attracted Li You's attention, and he also said with concern: "Jiu Meizi, what's wrong with you, if you don't feel well, go back and rest first, see the imperial doctor, and I'll have someone bring you some meals in the evening." ”

The women also looked at Kumiko Takahashi with concern and greeted her with a big mouth.

Kumiko Takahashi couldn't stay any longer, she excused herself a little dizzy and left the restaurant.

Li You and the others continued to drink the banquet, and when the banquet was about to end, Takahashi Kumiko's maid came to report in a panic: "Lord, Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is sick. ”

Li You was anxious when he heard this, and he immediately walked towards Takahashi Kumiko's bedroom, and the women followed her in a chaotic manner.

Kumiko Takahashi is "sick", she has no other way but to use the bitter meat meter, she takes the secret medicine prepared by her master, which causes the symptoms of her own food poisoning. She didn't expect Li You to change her itinerary because of this, because it was impossible, and Li You would never change the pledge meeting tomorrow just because she was sick. She was just going to try to stall on the road, and her illness was a foreshadowing.

"Kumiko, it doesn't matter to you." As soon as Li You entered the door, he said to Kumiko Takahashi, who was lying on the bed.

Li You came to Takahashi Kumiko's bed, looked at Takahashi Kumiko, who was pale, and sat directly beside her despite the smelly thing she had just vomited on the ground, and personally tested her temperature and pulse. Kumiko Takahashi's head is very hot, and her heartbeat is a little fast.

The imperial doctor said: "Lord, my Royal Highness the princess is afraid that she has eaten something bad, it should be fine, the minister has prescribed a prescription to clear heat and detoxify, and it will be cured slowly." It's just that she is going to leave tomorrow, and she may not be able to bear the fatigue of this journey. ”

Takahashi Kumiko said with difficulty: "Lord Wang, I'm really sorry, the slave maid has caused you trouble." ”

Li You held Takahashi Kumiko's hand and said gently: "Where, you can recuperate with peace of mind and don't think about anything." ”

Takahashi Kumiko said: "However, Lord Wang, you are going to go on an expedition tomorrow, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the slave to go with you." ”

Li You said: "You don't have to worry so much, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Li You comforted her for a while, left her bedroom, and walked towards his own.

To be honest, Takahashi Kumiko suddenly fell ill, which made Li You a little embarrassed. Li You is going to Kyushu Country, he is not familiar with Takahashi Kazuki, and he is only a one-sided relationship with Takahashi Taro and others, and it is really inconvenient for him to be without Jiumiko.

However, he will not cancel tomorrow's pledge meeting just because Takahashi Kumiko is sick, and he has a headache for a while.

White Tiger was originally suspicious in his heart, but now that Takahashi Kumiko is really in trouble, his feeling is even worse. However, he didn't dare to say how he had doubts, he just felt that the prince might be in danger, and he said cautiously: "Lord, the little one has a suggestion, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li You had absolute trust in the White Tiger, and he said, "Say it." ”

Bai Hu said: "Lord Wang, the little one knows that you want to go on the expedition with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but tomorrow's oath meeting must be held, and leaving Chang'an is inevitable." But Her Royal Highness the Princess's body can't travel hard, you are worried about this matter. ”

Li You nodded and said, "Yes, what do you have in mind?" ”

Baihu said: "Lord Wang, in fact, this matter is not difficult, you will hold a swearing-in meeting tomorrow as usual, and then leave Chang'an." After leaving the city, you let King Li Junwang and General Xue Wanche continue to march with the army, and you accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to King Li's other hospital to recuperate, and then go to Kyushu when her body is healed. ”

Li You's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, this is a way, the best of both worlds, a good idea." ”

White Tiger's idea is really good, not only to give an explanation to the court, but also to let Takahashi Kumiko recuperate with peace of mind, it is indeed a double win.

The white tiger was praised and became more and more intelligent, he said: "Lord Wang, in fact, this is a good thing, the Japanese slave country is eyeing you, and you have just sent an assassin, you follow the army to move too big, the itinerary is all in the hands of the Japanese slave people, and it is easy to encounter danger."

It will be much safer for you to stay outside the city secretly, wait until Her Royal Highness the Princess's body is healed, and then leave Chang'an secretly. ”

Baihu said very reasonably, if Li You moves with the army, it is inevitable that local military and political officials will be sent to every place, and Li You will often show up, and there will be a lot more opportunities to be attacked.

Moreover, now that the white tiger has become suspicious of Kumiko Takahashi, he has to be even more careful.

White Tiger can't say that he suspects Takahashi Kumiko, but he just feels that the prince is in danger when he goes to the Kyushu Parliament, and hopes that he will stay in Chang'an temporarily, and he will secretly observe Takahashi Kumiko's movements together with the magpie, and secretly strengthen the protection of the prince.

Li You agreed to Baihu's suggestion, and he said, "You enter the palace immediately and report this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian trusts Li You, and Li You should cherish this trust even more, because he went out with the army, but secretly stayed in Chang'an, which can easily cause misunderstanding, so it is necessary to inform Li Chengqian.

In this way, Takahashi Kumiko really didn't expect that the white tiger inadvertently helped her a lot and achieved the goal of temporarily leaving Li You in Chang'an.

The next morning, Li You held a swearing-in meeting as usual, and left Chang'an after saying goodbye to Li Chengqian, Hamid, Murong Bo and others.

In the evening of the same day, Li You and the others quietly left the army and returned to Li Daozong's annex.

That night, it was the panther's turn to be on duty, and the white tiger and the magpie were ready to rest.

The white tiger holds the foot-washing water, serves the magpie to wash the feet, since the marriage, the white tiger has always done this, the magpie's feet are very good-looking, the white tiger likes it very much, he does not feel wronged, but is happy.

The magpie let the white tiger rub his feet and said, "Husband, Her Royal Highness the princess has just sent a telegram. ”
