Li Zhi was stunned, so he hurriedly followed, wanting to call her to stop.

How did she know that Mei Niang had the heart to get rid of him, but she went faster and faster, and disappeared into the flowers in a blink of an eye.

Li Zhi stopped, depressed in his heart, and suddenly heard De'an say:

"Your Highness, Sister Wu seems to have gone over there. And lo and behold. ”

Li Zhi looked at the ground along De'an's hand, but saw two pairs of footprints on the ground, which were too shallow to be shallow, and they were folding in front of them, and they were going the way they came.

Li Zhi was overjoyed, so he took De'an to get the palace lantern and followed the footprints all the way.

After a while, the master and servant faintly heard Mei Niang's words with the other person. Li Zhi was curious, so he hid sideways behind the flowers, took a look at the flowers and leaves, and his face turned blue when he landed.

The one who is pulling the corner of Mei Niang's cloud silk, full of alcohol, and is bitter and obsessed, is it not Liu Hongye?

……

"Mei Niang......"

"Lord Liu is self-respecting."

Mei Niang said indifferently, and at the same time looked at him pulling his hand.

When Liu Hongye heard this, he tightened her cloud silk even more, and said sadly:

"You're so ruthless......"

"Lord Liu, self-respect!"

Mei Niang gritted her teeth, and for some reason she felt remorse-why did she believe that this man was her good match before?

When Liu Hongye saw that she was angry, her complexion turned crimson, and she looked more and more moving, and it was difficult to hold back her feelings, so she wanted to reach out and touch one or two.

Mei Niang was shocked when she saw this, she couldn't retreat, she couldn't go in, and when she saw that she was about to be touched by him, a hand suddenly came across the air and clamped Liu Hongye tightly.

A familiar laugh came immediately:

"Lord Liu, what do you want to do to your father's talent?"

Liu Hongye was shocked when he heard this, but Mei Niang was overjoyed when she heard this, and only called softly to the visitor:

"His Royal Highness King Wu!"

The one who helped was Li Ke, the king of Wu.

Seeing King Wu appear, Liu Hongye's face turned pale, standing in place, and when he was about to say something, King Wu smiled and said:

"This king knows what Lord Liu wants to say...... It doesn't matter, martial arts people are so stunning, and everyone has the meaning of love. This king will forget everything he has seen today. ”

When Liu Hongye heard this, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he thanked King Wu, reluctantly looked at Mei Niang, gritted his teeth and left.

When Mei Niang saw him leaving, her heart was also much relieved, so she thanked Li Ke and said:

"Thank you King Wu for your help."

Li Ke shook his head: "It's a favor for this king to return martial talents!" Besides, he's not a rude, he's just ......"

Glancing at Mei Niang with some deep meaning, Li Kecai said softly:

"Wucai is indeed a woman who is easy to get carried away."

Mei Niang's heart sank, so she bowed her head and thanked Li Ke again, and then hurriedly retired.

Li Ke stood in place stupidly, watching her every move, and only after a long time did he sigh and leave abruptly. didn't know that all this was clearly seen by Li Zhi, who was standing among the flowers and trees.

After everyone left, Li Zhi slowly walked out from behind the tree. His face was pale, his eyes were full of fire, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Dean! I don't need to tell you what to do, right? ”

"Dean understands!" Dean immediately answered and left quickly.

Li Zhi was left alone to stand in place, looking at the direction of Li Ke's departure with complicated eyes, and said after a long time:

"Third brother...... She's mine, you can't rob me of ...... You can't snatch it away! ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

It's night.

In the Danxiao Palace.

Taizong saw that Li Zhi, who was so drunk that he vomited incessantly, took the decanting stone and put it in his mouth, and then said distressedly:

"Why do you not care for your body like this?"

Li Zhi's eyes were drunk and hazy, and he had a stone in his mouth, so he naturally couldn't answer, and Taizong had to be depressed.

On the other hand, Wang De said:

"The Lord is not angry, and His Highness just drank a few more cups because of the joy in his heart."

When Taizong heard this, he glared at him: "Before returning these words, ask yourself if you believe it." ”

Wang De smiled silently, looking at Taizong's gaze as if it had a deep meaning.

Taizong knew in his heart that Li Zhi had gradually settled down, so he took care of Li Zhi with De'an, but he took Wang De out to breathe and relieve his hangover.

……

In the Danxiao Palace, after listening to Wang De's report, Taizong Nai shook his head and said with a smile:

"Ahh......h I'm a stupid son, I still can't think about it like this. Just let him go, I thought I could make his life a little easier...... Now it seems that it is better to let him suffer a little in order to grow a little bit. ”

Wang Dehan said yes with a smile.

Taizong said solemnly:

"But the son of Liu Xun, can you find out what's going on?"

"Back to the Lord, don't worry, he can't afford any trouble."

Taizong thought about it for a while, and nodded: "Ke'er's move is quite meaningful, but the young slave is now thinking about that little child's matter, and he can't see it for a while......

But I don't know if anyone can call him a ...... or two."

Taizong meant something, Wang De thought about it, and said with a smile:

"There is no need for the Lord to worry about this, since she is wholeheartedly trying to help His Royal Highness the Prince, she will naturally wake up His Highness."

Taizong thought about it and nodded:

"That's right, let the kids play! It's great that if you play something wrong, I'll make it up for them! ”

It's night.

In the Paiyun Palace.

Mei Niang was playing with Xu Hui, who rarely had to sleep, but she looked uncertain.

Seeing her like this, Xu Hui knew that it was all for Li Zhi, so he said lightly:

"What's wrong?"

Mei Niang looked at her, and then at Ryan.

Ryan understood, and said: "Wen Niang and Liu'er have rested, as for the others, today the Lord Longxing is prosperous, and he has enjoyed the wine and food in the palace." At the moment, they are all going to the shift feast. We are the only ones in the temple. ”

Mei Niangcai sighed: "What the young slave did this time is mostly because His Majesty is going to do something to the Wei family in the upcoming expedition against Goryeo, he is worried that when His Majesty is not there, he will not be able to protect us as the crown prince, so he will try his best to serve Concubine De Niangniang - hoping that Concubine De Niangniang can have a check and balance on the concubine Niangniang who may act against us at that time - in the final analysis, we are still regarded as the eldest grandson by the people of the palace. ”

Xu Hui said gratefully:

"But I want to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for all his hard work......"

"Painstaking?" Mei Niang snorted lightly, her face full of anger. Seeing this, Xu Hui knew that the two had some conflicts again, and looked at Ryan, but unfortunately Ryan just shook his head and didn't know.

Xu Hui thought about it, thinking that Li Zhi had a deep affection for Mei Niang and would not hurt her again, so he simply let her go, and said:

"But speaking of which, today's Liu Hongye and His Royal Highness King Wu ...... Do you see what's going on? ”

Mei Niang thought about it for a while, dropped the chess pieces in her hand, and then took a moment before saying:

Liu Hongye ...... He may not be my good match, but in the end, he is not a scheming man. So he should have just been an accident.

His Royal Highness King Wu ...... But it's a little suspicious. How could he be so aware of the opportunity and appear at the time when I was at my hardest? ”

Mei Niang thought about it again before she said, "Think about it again...... His Majesty had hinted to me before that Concubine Shu seemed to know about the generous master's proverbs...... Do you think His Royal Highness King Wu will also know?

But it doesn't make sense...... With his temperament, how could he be a nonsense rumor...... ...... me"

Speaking of which, Mei Niang always felt embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xu Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You...... It's good to have everything, but it's just that you don't take yourself too seriously. ”

Mei Niang shook her head and said: "Hui'er, you are wrong, it's not that I don't take myself seriously, it's because I know myself too well, that's why I don't understand how the current King Wu and the previous King Wei believe those rumors so much......

Hui'er, although I am rich, I am not expensive, and I have no real power in my family...... On top of this Tang Dynasty, my Wu clan is like a rootless island, and there is no one to rely on. I can't figure out why they ......."

Mei Niang's words were embarrassed at this point.

Xu Hui shook his head, and said after a while: "Mei Niang, Mei Niang...... Have you ever thought that perhaps it is you who they are convinced of by your proverbs? ”

Mei Niang was stunned: "What does this mean?" ”

Xu Hui sighed, seeing that this game was easy to win, and he felt bored, so he lost the chess piece, reached out and took Mei Niang's hand, held it in his two palms and said:

"Mei Niang, think about it, if it is just that proverb, or a group of people who have a heart for the throne, there will be a sense of doubt in their hearts......

But the problem is that they are convinced...... Even a Ming Jun like Your Majesty who has been one person for thousands of years is convinced. Why? ”

Looking at Mei Niang's dazed look, Xu Hui shook her head and sighed:

"Mei Niang, Mei Niang...... You are very good-looking, you are intellectual, you are not like ordinary women...... But there is one thing, but it is your key missing...... I'm afraid that if you don't notice it earlier, you will suffer a lot of losses in the future! ”

Mei Niang was anxious by what she said, and couldn't help but say:

"What the hell? But you told me! ”

"Mei Niang, do you know? You are good at everything, everything is better than others, but there is only one shortcoming, not only makes people feel that they can't cry or laugh, it is daily, but also teaches us those around us to look frightened......

You......

Why don't you always see clearly, a woman like yourself, to those ...... How precious and important are those men who want to make a career?

You......

Your biggest problem is that you always estimate your importance to the point that it can't be lower. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Niang's face was even more dazed: "I...... What matters to them? ”

Xu Hui nodded and said:

"Mei Niang, have you ever thought about why His Majesty swore not to establish a future matter, and none of the ministers objected? Is it really because I feel the deep affection of His Majesty? Are you afraid of the power of your uncle?

Not necessarily?

The new queen does not necessarily have to be divided by His Majesty, as for the uncle of the country, the power can be gained or lost, and it is difficult for one person to resist the request of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?

Or is it because Empress Eldest Sun is kind to the ministers?

But so what? Now that Empress Changsun is gone, as long as the crown prince is guaranteed to be from Empress Changsun, then who the queen is, and what does it matter - it's just a steproom.

Then why did the ministers interfere in many of His Majesty's affairs, but they never thought about anything after independence? ”

Mei Niang thought for a while, shook her head and said: "The name of the eldest grandson queen has been accomplished, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a woman like her, but it can be followed by one or two......

Therefore, if you forcibly push a woman who is not as good as her to the top and make a mess of the **, it is better to let the back position vacant, which is better for the major forces. ”
