Chapter 519: The Straw Bale Prince
The night was already deep.
Xue Shao intuitively concluded that it was already about three o'clock in the morning. The weather was very cold, and the servants in the palace lit a fire for Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu, which made them feel a lot better.
The two of them, like real door gods, had been standing outside the emperor's bedroom for half the night.
What's going on inside, I don't know.
After a while, Xue Shao heard footsteps coming from inside, it should be Wu Zetian. Immediately, the door was pushed open, and sure enough, Wu Zetian's voice sounded, "Donkey, you come in." β
Xue Shao walked in and saw Emperor Li Zhi half-sitting on the dragon bed, his eyes open.
The boulder that pressed on Xue Shao's heart suddenly fell...... Well, alive again!
"Xue Shao, it's really thanks to you tonight." Li Zhi could still speak, his face was ugly, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter within the minister's duty!" Xue Shao said it very sincerely, and it was indeed from the heart. Even if Li is not the emperor, he is also the father of Princess Taiping and his own father-in-law!
Li Zhizhi smiled haggardly, "After dawn, you send a few people to call Liu Renliang, the left servant of Shangshu, Xue Yuanchao, Pei Yan and the prince here." Let's just say, I have something important to discuss with him. β
"Yes." Xue Shao agreed, and his heart suddenly tightened - it wouldn't be an arrangement for the future, right?
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Zhi spoke weakly.
"Your Majesty, the minister has retired first." Xue Shao saw this situation and didn't want to bother more.
"When I go back, remember to appease the peace, and just say that I am safe and sound." Li Zhi hadn't forgotten to tell him, he must have known in his heart that paper couldn't hold the fire, and the emperor's critical illness must have spread outside the palace a long time ago.
"Your Ministers obey." Xue Shao agreed and withdrew from the dormitory.
Wu Zetian walked out with him and went outside the dormitory with Xue Shao.
"General Taiyi, General Tianguan, it's really hard for you two tonight." Wu Zetian's expression was finally a little more relaxed, and he said, "Go and tell the thousands of cavalry soldiers under your command, tonight, they all have a heavy reward!" β
"Thank you!" The two of them hugged their fists together and thanked them.
Wu Zetian looked at Xue Chuyu with interest, "General Tianguan, a young hero, a talent." I don't know if I am married or not? β
Xue Chuyu was stunned, he never expected Wu Zetian to ask about such a thing, so he replied a little hesitantly, "Return...... The queen of heaven, the minister has not yet ...... Not married. β
Wu Zetian smiled, "Such a good man, aren't all the women in the world blind?" - If there is still a daughter in this palace, I will definitely marry her to you! β
"Ugh! β¦β¦ This one...... The minister ......" Xue Chuyu was suddenly cramped and uneasy, and his face was flushed.
Xue Shao laughed secretly on the side, thinking that God is really fair to everyone, Xue Chuyu inherited Xue Rengui's martial arts, but in terms of love between men and women, he is completely stunned! β¦β¦ Maybe, still a virgin!
Wu Zetian also smiled, "Why, the Tianguan General who swept away thousands of armies and killed people like hemp would actually blush shyly for his children's affairs?" β
Xue Chuyu's face turned even redder, and he even scratched his ears and cheeks. Looking at that, I can't wait to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.
Xue Shao smiled crookedly on the side, and secretly gave Xue Chuyu this embarrassed look with ill intentions, with a narration - the queen of heaven, you just said it! The Lun family is ashamed!
"Hahaha!" Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, and then hurriedly covered it up with a dry cough.
Wu Zetian also smiled, "Xue Shao, don't just care about jokes. He's your good brother, why don't you care about his life's work? β
"The queen of heaven is right. In the future, I will help him Zhang Luo! Xue Shao arched his hand, and then there was another hahaha.
Xue Chuyu tilted his head and scratched his face, the roots of his neck were red, like an ugly daughter-in-law who had met her in-laws.
Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, "There will be Fengchen guards to hand over the guards around the hour, and you can go back to rest." Tonight, you've all worked hard! β
Xue Shao knew that this meant that "the crisis alarm was officially lifted". In this way, the emperor's life should not be in danger for the time being. Calling Pei Yan and the prince and others over is not to explain the aftermath.
What's that for?
Wu Zetian entered, Xue Chuyu let out a long sigh of relief, and waved his sleeves to wipe his sweat.
Xue Shao was amused again, moved over and said in his ear: "The queen of heaven is such a person, you slowly get used to it." β
Xue Chuyu was puzzled, "What kind of person?" β
"If she values you and appreciates you, she will have a relationship with you, and she will ask you about your private affairs, so that you feel that she really cares about you and has no distance from you." Xue Shao whispered, "In the future, she will care more about you and ask you more about private matters." That means you're very useful to her, and he's very optimistic about your talent and future. β
Xue Chuyu suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
Xue Shao thought to himself that Xue Chuyu was about to become a general in the Thousand Cavalry, and the Thousand Cavalry was also the closest to the emperor. In these years, there are really not many generals like Xue Chuyu who have both ability and political integrity and are very capable of fighting. A talent, a macho man and an unmarried handsome guy like him can definitely be called the best male god who sees flowers and blooms and is loved by everyone.
It is indeed reasonable that Wu Zetian will take the initiative to win over Xue Chuyu.
After listening to Xue Shao's words, Xue Chuyu was much calmer. Then he said coldly, "Fortunately, the queen of heaven only has one daughter!" β
Xue Shao deliberately put his face on the face, "The queen of heaven has only one daughter, and she is indeed married to me!" ββWhat do you mean? β
"No, no, no, I'm not good at words...... I didn't mean it! Xue Chuyu blushed again and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I want to say that I am a dull and incomprehensible person, and I am far less graceful and endearing than my son." In the future, no matter which woman follows me, she will definitely be depressed for the rest of her life. If this were a princess...... I, I'm sure I'm not going to serve well! The princess will definitely scold me every day, and even beat me every day! β
Xue Shao burst out laughing, slapping his back hard to stop laughing. Xue Chuyu was stunned by him, and he didn't understand why Xue Shao laughed so loudly.
"Isn't that funny?" Xue Chuyu has straight eyes.
"I decided." Xue Shao suddenly stopped laughing, and said with a straight face, "Give you a family affair!" β
"Don't!" Xue Chuyu's face suddenly became like a bitter gourd, "I don't want to get married yet!" β
Xue Shao looked at Xue Chuyu's lower body with malicious intent, "You can't have a hidden disease, right?" β
"No, no, absolutely not!" Xue Chuyu's face turned red and he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just ......"
"It's just a fart!" Xue Shao said angrily, "What's the matter, can't you tell me yet?" β
"Childe, it's a long story. It is not appropriate to dwell on this matter here. Xue Chuyu whispered with a bitter face, "In short, the matter is related to my father. For the time being, I really shouldn't talk about marriage. Please forgive me! β
"Your father?" Xue Shao blinked, as if remembering that when he went to visit Xue Rengui at Xue Ne's house that day, he heard Xue Rengui yelling and scolding Xue Chuyu outside the courtyard, and beat him with a stick.
Could it be that it has something to do with this?
"Since you have unspeakable grievances, then I won't ask more." Xue Shao said, "In case you fall in love with someone's girl or want to get married one day, remember, be the first to sue me!" β
"Okay!" This time, Xue Chuyu agreed very simply.
"Brother, you don't have the right saying." Xue Shao smiled, "Only a man like you can be called reliable, but any woman with vision will take a fancy to you." Whoever follows you can enjoy a lifetime of happiness! β
"Really...... Are you sure? Xue Chuyu blinked in confusion, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Xue Shao was again hahaha.
The invincible Tianguan General on the battlefield is so cute in life!
When the morning light appeared on the horizon, Xue Shao sent his soldiers to give orders to Pei Yan and the crown prince on the orders of His Majesty.
The Prince's East Palace was the closest, and Li Xian was the first to come.
When the chubby Li Xianxing hurriedly climbed up the Dragon Tail Road panting, he saw Xue Shao as soon as he raised his eyes. Then the fat prince smiled, "Brother-in-law, you are here!" β
Xue Shao was stunned for a moment, on such a formal occasion as being on duty, the dignified prince actually called me brother-in-law......
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Shao stepped forward and bowed with his fists in a low voice, "Your Highness must restrain your demeanor and not be too hasty." β
"Your Majesty is seriously ill, I'm so anxious!" Li Xian replied immediately.
Xue Shao frowned and whispered: "Even so, His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, should straighten his waist and preside over the overall situation at this time." How can you panic and disturb people's hearts? β
Li Xian was very stunned, "That makes sense!" β¦β¦ Good brother-in-law, thank you so much for mentioning it! β
Then, Li Xian began to tidy up his clothes, and he also gave his face a board.
Xue Shao saw it with a wry smile in his eyes, he knew not to remind him, his pretended calm expression was not only not majestic, but a little funny!
Li Xian stood up straight, cut his hands and was about to go inside, when he suddenly remembered another thing, turned around and whispered to Xue Shao: "The Taiping Imperial Sister spent the Shangyuan Festival with me last night and didn't sleep all night, so I left her to sleep in the East Palace." The royal sister is sleepy and can't turn over until noon. If you look for her, go straight to the East Palace. β
Xue Shao knew that Li Xian was turning a corner and inviting himself to the East Palace as a guest.
"Your Highness, my emperor is here. I'm afraid that for the time being, it will be difficult to take care of personal matters. Xue Shao replied.
"Oh......" Li Xian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "There are three days of Shangyuan Festival, and during these three days, my brother-in-law may wish to go to my East Palace to have a look." I spent a lot of money to hire a group of master craftsmen to make zuΓ²'s wonderful lanterns, brother-in-law, don't miss it! β
"If I have time, I'll go!" Xue Shao had no choice but to accept it first, otherwise this prince would have to talk endlessly like a woman.
Li Xian smiled, squeezed his eyes into a slit and nodded again and again, "Then I'll go in first and serve Your Majesty!" β
"Your Highness, please!"
Watching Li Xian walk into the hall with a big ass, Xue Shao shook his head secretly.
The prince of the Tang Dynasty has no scheming, no wrists, and no prestige...... Alive, straw bales!
