Chapter 690: The Palace's Anomaly
The location of the Qi Palace's Mansion is easy to find, close to the Imperial City, and the area and luxury are unique outside of the Imperial City. In the past, when Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom, was not called emperor, he lived in this palace. Later, the ownership of the palace continued to change. However, it has been expanded over the generations to become what it is today. One-eighth of the entire capital was within the confines of the palace. Moreover, the decoration of various rare treasures also makes the palace noble and atmospheric.
Li Dewang looked at the long-lost mansion, and couldn't help but feel happy and worried. I'm glad that I've finally returned to the realm I'm familiar with. The worry is that the palace may not be the palace he knows.
This is also the main reason why Da Yuan let them come back! According to the investigation by the Department of National Defense, the spies planted by King Qi may have encountered an accident. Even the spies of the entire Qi Palace's mansion may be gone. Not only that, but the spies planted by the Department of National Defense around the palace and other dignitaries have also lost contact, which makes the Department of National Defense feel that something is wrong. Therefore, let Li Dewang come back as the prince of Qi Wang, so as to investigate the cause closely.
In addition, I have to export my evil anger for Dayuan!
"Third brother! Fifth sister! There was a group of people standing far away from the gate of the palace, it was Li Dewang's third brother Li Dewen and fifth sister Li Miaochun.
"Second brother!" , Li Dewen and Li Miaochun both saluted and greeted them with a smile.
"The meals are ready, just waiting for you to come back." , got the letter in advance, Li Dewen said with a smile. "My father is sick, and my eldest brother has been accompanying us, and we can't get in." , Li Miaochun moved closer to Li Dewang and said in a low voice. Then his voice changed: "Madame has been waiting for you to come back for a long time, and she has been waiting in the flower hall." ”。
Li Zunwei, the king of Qi, is not very lustful among the royal clans, but there are seven wives and concubines. But there are only three people who have given birth to and raised. Li Dewen was born and raised by his third aunt and has a cowardly temperament. The fifth sister was born and raised by the fifth aunt, and because she was the only girl in the family, she was favored by Li Zunxuan, so she had a lively temperament and was a clever ghost.
As for Li Dewang himself, although he was not born and raised by his wife Wang, his biological mother's second aunt died of dystocia when she gave birth to him, so he was raised by Wang's knee since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a concubine.
Of course, this can't compare to the real Li Deren.
It's just that on weekdays, Li Deren looks down on these younger brothers and sisters, so he is not close to them. However, Li Dewang has a gentle temperament and takes more care of his younger brothers and sisters, so the relationship is much closer.
At present, Li Miaochun's reminder immediately made Li Dewang think of bad things. Thinking of the speculation of the Department of National Defense, I feel that something has happened to the palace.
When he arrived at the flower hall, Li Wang's eyes were already faintly sour. Although Li Dewang is not her own child, she has been raised for so many years, and she also has feelings. Although in the face of sending Li Dewang or Li Deren to Dayuan as a proton, she was understandably partial to her son, which made this relationship fragile. But the irrepressible guilt in her heart and so many years of nurturing still made her cry.
"Son meets the master!" , knelt down and bowed first, and Li Dewang got up under the false support of Li Wang. "Hurry up! Get up! Li Wang said with a crying voice.
Granny Zhou, who served Li Wang's personal attendant on the side, said with some emotion: "When Erlang sent Dayuan, the old lady stood at the door for half an hour. Later, he often said that Erlang had never left the palace since he was a child, and he was worried that it would be inconvenient to live in the Yuan Kingdom. A few days ago, I received a letter from Erlang that he was going back to China, but he was overjoyed. Seeing it now, the old lady can finally sleep soundly. ”。
"Mother!" , Li Dewang's hand was pulled by Li Wang's family, and he was a little moved. The housewife is generally used when performing a big salute, and usually calls the mother to show closeness.
"Hey! You have been out for the past three years, and my mother can be regarded as looking forward to you coming back. It's just -- woo -- your dad gave birth to a stroke, and he --- unconscious", and before he finished the rest of the sentence, he couldn't help crying. Li Dewang hurriedly comforted him, and only after the explanation of his younger siblings and Granny Zhou that he learned that Li Zunwei's stroke was two months ago. At that time, all the doctors in the city were invited, but they were all at a loss. I just said that I needed to recuperate, and I have been raising it until now.
When Li Dewang heard this, he immediately wanted to take a look. But he was stopped by Li Wang, saying that when Li Zunwei saw him, he was easily surprised and not conducive to recuperation. Li Dewang insisted on a few more words, thinking that Li Wang's would still stop him. I didn't want to be relieved and said: "Since Erlang is so concerned about the master, why don't you ask your eldest brother." The master's illness is all taken care of by him, and he can't say that it is any better. ”。
The tone changed so quickly, which was beyond Li Dewang's expectations. However, he didn't shirk, and went down the steps and said: "Xie Niang is sympathetic!" ”。 After that, he stopped eating and walked quickly to the backyard. Li Dewen and Li Miaochun looked at each other, and saw the latter and said, "We haven't seen Daddy for a long time, why don't we go and have a look?" ”。 Li Dewen glanced at Li Wang, who was still sad, and excused himself that it was easy for so many people to disturb Li Zunwei's recuperation, so he hurried away on the grounds that there was still something in his yard.
Li Miaochun was not afraid, muttered 'coward', and left in Li Dewang's footsteps. The person was gone, and Li Wang, who was still sad, turned pale, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and said, "Da Lang is ready everywhere, right?" ”。
Granny Zhou immediately said respectfully: "It's all in order." ”。
Click, the fish on the chopsticks is sandwiched into two pieces.
Li Dewang, who had already left, didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him, but he always felt that something was wrong. It's just that he just came back, and he didn't know what was going on in the house, so he could only take one step at a time.
At this time, Li Miaochun had caught up with him, and said a little breathlessly: "Second brother, don't go so fast!" ”。
Kicking her breath, she continued: "Since Daddy was sick, there have been many people in the house. Even Fuwang, who had served his father for many years, was kicked out, and I later sent someone to Fuwang's hometown, but said that Fuwang was killed on the way back. ”。
At this moment, Li Dewang immediately felt that something was wrong!
"Do you suspect that it was the eldest brother and the main mother?" , Li Dewang's voice was a little solemn. Although I don't know if Fuwang is related to Dayuan, there are so many subordinates in the mansion, and it must be inseparable from the damage to the spies of the National Defense Department.
"Not a suspicion. Yes, definitely. Second brother, you definitely can't think of it. Two months ago, my father made a statement to the Holy Lord, wanting to make you the son of the world and inherit the throne. Li Miaochun's voice was not loud, but like a thunderbolt, Li Dewang's ears were booming.
