Chapter Seventy-One: The Killing Opportunity of the Faint Revelation (II)
Dead mother-in-law, if you want to find death, forget it, don't pull me and wait for my brother to go into the water? For a character like Helan Minyue, Li Xian originally didn't have too much bad feelings, and even had some expectations, after all, no matter what, there was Helan Minyue's mother and daughter making trouble in the harem, which could involve the energy of the martial arts queen to some extent, but as soon as Helan Minyue's exclamation came out before, the only remaining good feeling in Li Xian's heart was lost, and he couldn't wait to take a rag and stuff it into Helan Minyue's cherry mouth.
"Father, mother, the gift prepared by the child and the sixth brother has arrived, and the child is presented." was annoyed in his heart, but Li Xian couldn't sit back and watch Li Xian explode in court, so he had to flash out, standing next to Li Xian half a step forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocking half of Li Xian's body, bowing down, and reporting loudly.
Li Xian is obviously too worried, Li Xian's career in the domain for most of the year is not in vain, although he is extremely unhappy in his heart, but Li Xian has no intention of going crazy, but he just endures it more uncomfortable, at this time he was interrupted by Li Xian, the anger in his heart was a little lighter, and there was a little more gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Li Xian, just because Li Xian had felt the heart of maintenance contained in Li Xian's interference.
"Okay, okay, hand it over, hand it over."
Gaozong is really a little back today, originally idle after lunch, planning to take advantage of the moment when the Empress Wu was busy taking care of Xiao Taiping, summoning Wushun's mother and daughter to come to drink and frolic once, but he never expected that the interest had just started, and he was suddenly interrupted by the Empress Wu, this is not counting, I actually heard that the two sons were outside the palace gate, and they couldn't meet each other, so there was an embarrassing situation when Li Xian and the two brothers first entered the palace, so they made such a fuss, don't look at it and now sit on the top with a smile, In fact, I was already impatient in my heart, and when I heard that Li Xian's gift had arrived, I was happy to push the boat along the river, and I didn't ask what Empress Wu meant, so some people arbitrarily ordered Li Xian to present the gift.
"Yes, boy."
Gaozong didn't want to dream a lot at night, Li Xian naturally thought like this, as soon as the left and right gifts were presented, Gaozong only had to praise a few words, and the little brothers could take advantage of the situation and go away, this listening to Gaozong's words, Li Xian would not have the slightest slackness, and hurriedly responded to the promise, waved his hand to signal the little eunuchs to carry the box forward, opened the lid of the box with his own hands, took out two small long boxes from the inside, held them in his hands, walked to the position three steps in front of Gaozong's banquet and stopped, raised the two boxes above his head with both hands, bowed and said: " The father, the mother, the child and the sixth brother prepared some small things, and asked the father and the queen mother to take a look. ”
"Well, bring it up."
Gaozong wanted to see that the gift was originally just an excuse, but at this time, seeing that the two boxes in Li Xian's hands were slender, which were very different from ordinary gift boxes, he was really a little interested, so he smiled and waved his hand, and the little eunuch who was waiting next to him ran down to take the box in Li Xian's hand and presented it to Gaozong.
"Hey, this thing is ......" Gaozong casually opened the lid of the gift box, revealing a handful of jade as the bone and white silk as the folding fan inside, first stunned, and then hesitantly reached out and took out the folding fan, looked up and down, and was stunned to see how this folding fan was used - the folding fan that Li Xian made up was popular in the officialdom of Chang'an, but Luoyang, although the people have sold it, but it has not been popular in the palace, at least Gaozong himself has never seen the folding fan, and it is normal to not know how to use it.
"Father, this is a folding fan, and so is this handle in the child's hand." Li Xian smiled and took out a folding fan from his wide sleeve, flicked it away with his shaking hand, and gently fanned it a few times as a demonstration.
"Oh? It's so exquisite, good, very suitable, good, good, good, Xian'er, Xian'er has a heart, Mei Niang, you see how delicate this fan is, I use it very easily, very good, very good. I don't know if Gaozong really likes it, or if he doesn't want the embarrassing situation to continue, this repeated applause seems extremely trivial.
"It's good if the saint thinks it's good, and it's good for the concubine to look at it." Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Xian intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't move the gift box in front of her, but just smiled lightly and agreed.
"That's good, even if it's the queen and think it's good, I will accept this folding fan, which is considered your filial piety, well, Xian'er and Xian'er are all in a hurry, presumably tired, then they are all scattered." Gaozong obviously didn't want to stay in this palace of benevolence for a moment, and dropped a sentence with a smile, and didn't even wait for Li Xian and the two brothers to say anything, they got up on their own, and walked out of the Hall of Benevolence with a folding fan in their hands.
"The sons and the others respectfully ask the queen mother for instructions."
After Gaozong and the others went, Empress Wu didn't make any moves, and didn't even glance at the little brothers, but just sat still with his eyes lowered, and the thoughtful calm look was about to come out, and the atmosphere in the hall was immediately depressed, making the little brothers uncomfortable, and after a long period of silence, Li Xian saw that it was not a matter of such a stalemate, so he had no choice but to take a step forward and bow down to ask for a word.
"There is no need to instruct, Xian'er is an official for a term, can benefit a place, that is good, Xian'er is dedicated to learning, diligent and self-encouraged, and will be able to succeed in the future, my mother is not very worried, and it is even more rare to wait for filial piety, my mother is very pleased, I am tired, go down and rest." Hearing Li Xian's words, Wu Meiniang's lowered eyes flashed quickly, but when she raised her head, she was already smiling with satisfaction, and praised the little brothers very much.
"The queen mother's reputation is too good, the sons should keep in mind the mother's teachings, spur themselves on day by day, and never dare to live up to the expectations of the queen, the time is not early, the sons dare not disturb the queen mother's rest, so they will retire." As soon as the little brothers heard that Empress Wu was called away, they didn't want to stay any longer, and after each spoke humbly, they withdrew from the hall side by side.
"Humph!"
After the Li Xian brothers went, Empress Wu sat silently for a while, her eyes kept changing, her face became more and more gloomy, and after a long time, she suddenly snorted lightly, stood up one by one, and didn't even look at the gift box that was resting on a few pieces, flicked her water sleeves, and left the Hall of Benevolence......
"Seventh brother, let's go and gather together for my brother's mansion."
Li Xian and Li Xian walked out of Luoyang Palace speechlessly, and when they walked to their respective carriages, Li Xian suddenly issued an invitation.
"The sixth brother is invited, the younger brother should have gladly agreed, but the younger brother is tired today, why don't you get together again tomorrow morning?" Li Xian obviously hesitated, thinking about agreeing to Li Xian's invitation, but when the words came to his lips, he still forcibly took it back, just because Li Xian had not yet considered the countermeasures clearly, and it was in vain to get together at this time, so he politely declined Li Xian's invitation.
"Okay, then it's tomorrow, the sixth brother cherishes it, and he will take the lead for his brother."
Li Xian saw that Li Xian refused politely, and he didn't force it anymore, nodded, and got into the carriage on his own.
It's a big trouble, I'm afraid I'm going to die this time! After Li Xian sent Li Xian away, he didn't stay in front of the palace for long, and after giving Gao Miao an order, he also got into his own carriage, thinking about what he saw and heard today, and he knew what the Empress Wu was about to kill, as for how to deal with it, he never had a clue - in his previous life, Li Xian did not go to Mount Tai with the car, and he only heard about what happened when he sealed Mount Tai, and he didn't know what the real situation was, only that Helan Minyue's mother and daughter were dead, It is said that he died of food poisoning when he went to the family banquet of the Wu family, whether it was so Li Xian was not sure, at that time, it was the two cousins of the Empress Wu Wu and Wu Huaiyun who carried the black pot, and both of them were ordered by the Empress Wu to cut off their heads, and the people of the two families were all sent to the border because of this, since then, no one in the harem can compete with the Empress Wu for favor, and Gaozong, who was already afraid of the inside, has never had the courage to struggle since then, and the court situation has also been eroded because of it.
Cruel, this is the true face of the Empress Wu, as long as it hinders her business, whether it is a brother, a sister, or even a child, she can be killed, Li Xian has long been mentally prepared for this, but he is not surprised, but then again, it is good that the two "cousins" are dead, so as to save the Empress Wu in the future in order to control the government, move these two goods to the court to stir up the wind and rain, of course, if you can kill Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others who have died of their father, it is better, in this sense, Li Xian can add fuel to the fire, it is best to let " The martial arts family was beheaded all over the house, and it is also a good thing to cut off the roots of the martial arts, as for how to do it, you might as well see the opportunity to act when the time comes, but Li Xian is a little unsure about whether to act like this.
That's right, Li Xian hates Helan Minyue, a little woman who doesn't know the importance of it, but this sassy girl can greatly divide the favor of the harem of the martial arts queen, and it can also involve the energy of the martial arts queen, if you can let her mother die and live alone, it is a good thing, the problem is whether it can be done is difficult to say, in a word, the grasp is really not high, in case you even fall into it by yourself, then the fun will be great, Li Xian does not intend to be a scapegoat, therefore, Whether or not to meddle in this matter has to be calculated, and for a while, Li Xian really can't think of a reason, and his head can't help but hurt a little......
