Mrs. Wan said: "The will of the emperor? The first of those two edicts is to take your life. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "What? Mrs. thinks, is Li Jiancheng still alive? ”

Mrs. Wan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "It's just ...... The edict was destroyed, without evidence. ”

I looked at Zimin and said, "Madam, don't worry, Zimin is here." ”

Zimin chuckled and nodded, then walked to the table on the side, picked up a pen and wrote a line, and asked, "Madam, please look, how is the writing?" ”

When Mrs. Wan and I approached the case, we saw that only a few words were written on a piece of paper.

When Mrs. Wan saw it, she nodded and said, "It's very like." ”

Before I discussed this matter with my son Min, I didn't think so much, as long as I mentioned the edict, I remembered the lines on the edict, and I always felt uncomfortable in my heart. I naturally believe that my father also realized this after becoming the emperor, and also wanted to bridge the gradually estranged feelings, but there are some things, after all, they can't be forced.

When my father blamed me for Liu Wenjing's provocation and blamed me for not thinking about brotherhood, I probably didn't think that one day I would be shot by Li Shimin under the Xuanwu Gate, the first time it was Sanniang who blocked a sword for me, but this time, it was Li Xuanba who died instead of me. The happiness of the family that he had been thinking of in his heart had already disappeared when his mother died of illness, and he had experienced the changes of the previous dynasty, and he did not want our brother to repeat the mistakes of the past, but the heart of the people was unpredictable, and he still miscalculated after all.

Sometimes it's not that I can't argue, but if I don't, I'm afraid that there is no place for me in this huge world.

It's just that I've never had any vision, and I'm too attached to ordinary happiness, in other words, I'm a little bit unambitious. When my father first raised troops in Jinyang, I knew that I would be the crown prince in the future, but I only thought at that time that if my father wanted to do something, as the eldest son, I would definitely do it for him.

Since he hopes that Li Yuanji will take over the Tang Dynasty he left behind today, I will help him again to repay him for decades of nurturing.

While I was pondering, Zimin gently pushed me and said, "Big brother, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are ready, how to write, what to write?" ”

I came back to my senses and saw that Zimin was looking at me with a pen in his hand, I thought about it, smiled and pointed at Mrs. Wan and said, "Madam remembers it, so it doesn't hurt to write it truthfully." ”

Mrs. Wan understood, took out two rolls of bright yellow silk from the cabinet behind the dresser, and said, "Zimin, wait for a while." As he spoke, he unfolded one of the silks, and wrote on it. ”

Zi Min finished writing the two edicts according to his words, and said: "Although it has been written like this, but there is no seal on this edict, even if people read it, I am afraid it is not enough to believe it." ”

Mrs. Wan said: "You don't need a seal, you just need to ask Yuru to borrow something, and it's the same." ”

Zi Min said: "What do you want to borrow?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "It is a wooden hairpin handed down by the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”

I smiled when I heard this: "Sister Yuru has given it to me, I don't know what the use of this is?" As he spoke, he took out the wooden hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Wan.

Mrs. Wan saw it and said, "This wooden hairpin is actually not the one it was back then." As he spoke, he gently flicked one end of the hairpin, only to hear the sound of "click", and stretched out a small section, and the top was just made of four extremely small squares to form a seal.

Zimin and I looked at each other, both of them were shocked, but Mrs. Wan smiled lightly: "When the emperor got this wooden hairpin, he found this layer under fiddling, so he ordered someone to carve a private seal on this small white marble, although you don't know, this chapter has all been seen." ”

As he spoke, he dipped his tea in the water and pressed it on a blank piece of paper.

When Zimin and I looked at it, it was really my father's usual private chapter.

Now that the edict has been drawn up, the rest of the matter will be much easier, and I was about to discuss with Mrs. Wan how to act, Zi Min tugged at my sleeve and said, "Someone has come here, there are a lot of people, and Madam is only afraid of trouble." ”

Mrs. Wan smiled: "What trouble can I have? Leave at once. As he spoke, the two pieces of paper on the table burned on the candles.

I said, "Please rest assured, madam." ”

Zimin pulled me out of the back window, knowing that I wouldn't leave immediately, so he leaned on the roof with me and listened carefully.

As Zimin said, Li Shimin soon led people to surround the place where Mrs. Wan lived, but Mrs. Wan only stayed in the room and did not go out to greet her.

Li Shimin knocked on the door and said, "The long night is lonely and cold, Madame is afraid that it will be difficult to sleep, right?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "Your Majesty has bothered, I have already rested." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I don't want to disturb my wife's good dreams, it's just that there are assassins in the palace who have broken in, and I don't know where to go now. As he spoke, he ordered people to surround the cold palace where Mrs. Wan lived.

Mrs. Wan said, "Thank you." ”

Li Shimin stood outside the door for a long time, and when he saw that Mrs. Wan still had no intention of opening the door, he said, "I'm worried that an assassin will break in, so why don't you open the door for me to take a look?" ”

Mrs. Wan said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't you know? The cold palace where I live is only an inch away, and even if an assassin comes, there is nowhere to stay, and if Your Majesty wants to track down the whereabouts of the assassin, please go somewhere else. ”

Li Shimin said: "I'm not at ease. As he spoke, he heard a "bang", and the wooden bolt that locked the door was picked and dropped to the ground.

The door was opened by Huo Ran, and Li Shimin said while pacing in the room: "I heard that when my father was dying, there was an edict, may I ask Madame, where is the edict now?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "Your Majesty has great powers, and you can find it." This sentence is tantamount to telling Li Shimin that not only is there really an edict, but Mrs. Wan knows his whereabouts, but she is unwilling to tell him.

Li Shimin said coldly: "It seems that Mrs. is still too comfortable to live in this place." ”

Mrs. Wan said: "Your Majesty Hongen, you are naturally very comfortable. ”

Li Shimin said: "Since Madam refuses to say it, it doesn't matter, I will find out sooner or later." ”

Mrs. Wan said: "Your Majesty is now the master of the people, why should you have trouble with one or two edicts? Or is Your Majesty worried about what is unfavorable to Your Majesty in that edict? ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he said viciously: "After so many years, I can't see that Mrs. has such a heart? To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of anyone. I ask you, have you ever seen two men in black, a man and a woman, flee from here? ’

Mrs. Wan said: "I haven't seen it. I would like to advise Your Majesty that you must be forgiving and forgiving, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be at peace for half your life. ”

Li Shimin snorted and left Mrs. Wan's room, but ordered someone to continue to guard here.

Zimin and I tiptoed over the eaves and were about to leave, when suddenly I felt a cold in my neck, and a very low voice behind me said: "Don't act rashly!" ”

When I looked at Zimin again, she was like me, with a dagger in front of her neck.
