After Ren Dejing left, Li Renxiao came to the backyard with heavy steps.

As soon as he looked up, Li Renxiao saw his mother, Empress Dowager Cao, Ren Dejing's daughter Empress Dowager Ren, and his empress Dowager.

As soon as he saw these three women waiting for him, how could Li Renxiao not know that they already knew the reason why Ren Dejing came?

Li Renxiao first asked the Empress Dowager Cao and the Empress Dowager Ren to say goodbye: "The child has seen two mothers. Then Empress Lu asked Li Renxiao for peace: "The slave family has seen officials. ”

The four of them were silent for a while, and Li Renxiao was the first to break the silence and said: "Don't worry, I will never hand you over, never!" ”

Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Ren, and Empress Lu listened to the words and continued to be silent.

After a long while, Empress Dowager Cao was the first to speak: "My son, you can't be confused at this time, now is the critical time for the life and death of our Li family, so no matter what, you have to endure it, you are more than thirty years younger than the middle master, as long as you can endure it, there may not be no chance of a comeback." ”

Empress Dowager Ren then said: "Sister Cao is right, you have a deep foundation in Sinology, it is impossible not to know King Goujian, now, what you have to do is to follow him, in order to return to the country one day to take revenge, as for the three of us women, you don't take it too seriously, those who become great things cannot be bound by women, you have to remember." ”

Afraid that Li Renxiao would feel uncomfortable, Empress Dowager Cao said again: "To be honest, I don't care about the current life, I entered the palace at the age of twelve, and I have been living in the palace all the time, and I have long been accustomed to the life of clothes and food to open my mouth, so let's enter the palace." ”

Of course, things are not as Empress Dowager Cao said, she is just looking for a step for Li Renxiao, lest Li Renxiao not be calm and make a wrong decision, which will eventually lead to the extinction of the Li family in Western Xia.

This is actually the greatness of mother's love, and the Empress Dowager Cao can make this sacrifice, in fact, to a large extent, for his only son Li Renxiao.

Li Renxiao clenched his fists desperately - he hated himself for being incompetent: "Why don't I fight bloodily to the end, why!" Why! Why......"

Empress Dowager Ren also comforted Li Renxiao and said: "When we enter the palace, it's not all bad, our Li family needs some protection too much now, otherwise, someone will definitely bully our Li family in the future, and Qinglu is too indisputable, relying on her, I'm afraid I can't protect our Li family, after the three of us enter the palace, we should be able to protect our Li family through this most difficult period, he will wait for you to return to the country successfully, we will die...... Death is the king's observance of the festival with thee, and thou shalt not be taught to be ashamed of us. ”

Empress Dowager Cao listened to Empress Dowager Ren's words, took Empress Dowager Ren's hand, and then glanced at Empress Dowager Ren, and made up their minds to abide by this agreement together, and then Empress Dowager Cao said to Li Renxiao: "We have made up our minds, if you are a good boy who is filial, don't stop us." ”

Li Renxiao burst into tears and said, "The queen mother ......"

Li Renxiao seems to have a thousand words to say to the Empress Dowager Cao, but he doesn't know where to start!

Empress Dowager Cao didn't let Li Renxiao say what he wanted to say, looked at Empress Lu again, and said, "You can round the house today, save ...... Save yourself from leaving regrets. ”

It turns out -

Because Li Renxiao is too young (he is not yet thirteen years old), and because Li Renxiao has been doing big and small things since he ascended the throne, Li Renxiao has not had a round with the queen until now.

Listening to Empress Cao's words, Empress Cao's little face turned red, and then she lowered her head, and peeked at Li Renxiao's handsome face, and said in her heart: "It would be great if I could stay with him for the rest of my life, but unfortunately it was only one night......"

What Queen Gang didn't expect was that Li Renxiao categorically refused: "This matter must not be done!" ”

Empress Dowager Cao was puzzled: "Why not?" Is it because you don't like her? ”

Li Renxiao looked at Queen Lu and said, "No, she is knowledgeable, smart and capable, and it is the greatest honor in my life to marry her." ”

After a pause, Li Renxiao's tone changed, and he said: "But now, we are fish and meat, and the lord is the sword, if we had a round house before, it would have been round, and now, just when she is about to enter the palace, if we round the house again, if this matter is known by the lord, our Li family is definitely in a catastrophe, you know, this kind of thing is absolutely unbearable for any emperor." ”

Listening to Li Renxiao's explanation, Empress Dowager Cao realized how naïve her idea was, and almost killed the Li family.

Some people may say, if Li Renxiao doesn't say this kind of thing, and Queen Lu doesn't say it, how can others know?

Wrong.

First of all, Li Renxiao and Queen Lu have not yet had a round house, in fact, many people know about it, at least all the subordinates of the two of them know it, so in this case, there is a possibility of leakage.

What's more critical is that in Queen Gang, Li Renxiao and Queen Gang have only become husband and wife for less than half a year, and in less than half a year, Li Renxiao has not had much contact with Queen Gang because he is tired of state affairs, let alone communication, in this case, how dare Li Renxiao believe that Queen Gang will keep his mouth shut for him, not to mention, I have never come to see that Li Yan is the husband of Empress Gang, and Li Renxiao is just a passerby in Queen Gang's life, and there is no too deep contact with passers-by, just ask, Li Renxiao is such a cautious person, How could he bet the life of the Li family of the Western Xia family on the Empress of Ran?

Queen Lu quickly figured out the key to this, and then raised her head with some disappointment and even some resentment!

Li Renxiao hurriedly pulled the words back and said: "Don't think about it, there are too many people in the family who know that you and I don't have a round house, and the secret agents of the Jinyi Guard and the pro-army Governor's Mansion are pervasive, I think the lord may have mastered this matter, besides, if we don't have a round house, it will also be good for you, and you should be more ......liked by the lord if you have a perfect body."

Although Li Renxiao tried his best to explain, Empress Ke still heard the estrangement in his words.

Empress Lu smiled miserably and said, "If my death does not bring disaster to the Li family, I will definitely die on the spot." ”

After speaking, the queen turned around and walked inside.

From Queen Gang's miserable smile, from Queen Gang's resolute words, and from Queen Gang's stumbling steps, Li Renxiao didn't fail to see that Queen Gang's heart was really hurt by him.

But in this regard, Li Renxiao can only bow to the end - he can't afford to gamble!

The next day, Li Renxiao applied to the Ministry of Rites to present some beauties to Li Yanjin.

Li Renxiao's dedication this time is not only the Empress Dowager Cao, the Empress Dowager Ren, and the Empress Dowager, but also Li Qianshun's other seven concubines, Li Renxiao's named concubine Luo, and more than 20 school-age girls from the clan.

For this great achievement was snatched away by Ren Dejing, Wang Shiyong secretly hated!

can be related to Li Yan, Wang Shiyong does not dare to be careless at all - this is also Wang Shiyong's smartest place.

Therefore, Wang Shiyong secretly decided to "let's see", and at the same time contacted the palace as soon as possible, saying that the Li family of Western Xia wanted to present some beauties to the official family, and sent the list of beauties that Li Renxiao wanted to offer into the palace.

Soon, the list was sent to Liu Huiniang's hands.

After Liu Huiniang read the list, she sent someone to check the details of the people on the list one by one, and after making sure that there was no problem, she approved the word "quasi".

Soon, the Ministry of Rites used more than 20 carriages to send Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Dowager Ren, Empress Dowager Lu and other women into the palace.

By the time Li Yan knew about this, the rice had become porridge.

In this case, Li Yanruo said, "I never thought of the daughter of the Western Xia royal family and the clan. Ironclad will be despised to death.

Therefore, Li Yan simply drove the Xixia Palace to meet these daughters of the Western Xia royal family and clan for a while......
