The next night.

Chang'an City.

The eldest grandson of the house.

Inside the study.

The eldest grandson Wuji had a calm face and looked at the eldest son who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing.

After a long time, he sighed, got up slowly, and walked out of the room.

Then, walk slowly all the way to the back garden.

It's already May.

The summer flowers in the garden are all in full bloom, but they are divided into morning and evening.

And in this splendor, the back of the eldest grandson Wuji is extraordinarily thin.

For a moment, the man who was silently following him in the shadows had a sense of panic:

Why?

People who have watched these years......

looked at the back of all these years......

Why?

When did you start to become so thin and old?

It's like a bamboo that is losing its vitality, and it can be broken with a light press?

He shook his head vigorously and stepped forward silently, the moonlight shining on his young and heroic face.

He looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and only after a while did he say softly:

"The host doesn't have to be too sad......

After all, the eldest prince is just confused for a while......"

"Confused?"

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to have sensed his arrival a long time ago, and it seemed that he had expected him to have such words, so he only sneered and said:

"Privately form a secret society, and plan to establish such a big thing as who will be the reserve......

Just momentarily confused?

Ah, Aro......

The old man knows that you don't want the old man to be sad for this evil son......

The old man didn't want to say that he didn't care about him......

But...... One thing is for sure.

This kind of thing is by no means a momentary confusion for him. ”

Ah Luo was silent, and only said softly after a long time:

"Actually......

In fact, there are some things that really can't be separated from black and white.

Master, you must know that not everyone in this world regards money as a tool like the master.

Therefore, for the sake of the future of our Changsun Mansion, such things are inevitable......"

"The future of the Changsun Mansion is tied to the future of the Tang Dynasty and the future of the Lord!

If he doesn't even understand this truth, then he is no longer worthy of being the heir of the old man! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said categorically.

When Ah Luo heard this, his heart also sank, and he said softly after a while:

"Then, the master is going to ......"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed:

"No......

As you said, it is possible that he was just confused for a while......

So the old man still wanted to give him a chance.

After all, he is the old man's favorite child......

So for at least a few years, the old man didn't want to talk about it again.

Alas......

Ah, Aro......

The old man is really old, and he didn't notice it before, but since he talked to the Lord last night......

The old man suddenly realized that the old man was really old......

Many things are no longer as energetic as they were back then, as they have always been......"

Ah Luo's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but laugh:

"The master is too worried, that is, the Lord said something that makes you feel unhappy, and it is just that the Lord is too young and only cares about coveting love......"

If he had said this......

Or maybe the old man doesn't feel that way......"

The eldest grandson Wuji turned around and looked at Ah Luo thoughtfully:

"Do you know what the Lord asked of the old man yesterday?"

A Luo thought about it for a while, then smiled:

"Most likely I still want to take this opportunity to force the master to agree to make the Wu clan a concubine, right?"

Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head:

"Yes, too......

Not right either. ”

Arrow was stunned:

"I wonder how the master said this?"

"The Lord is indeed from the beginning. put on a posture, as if the old man could agree to the proposal he made through the mouth of Li Yifu to make Wu Meiniang Concubine Chen, then this Honglu Temple matter can turn big things into small things......

But Arrow, when the old man resolutely refused his request......

The attitude of the Lord really made the old man feel ......

His mind seemed to have no intention of seeking the title of a concubine for that Wu Meiniang. ”

Arrow was stunned:

"The host means ......"

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded:

He has been forcing it for a long time......

But Arrow, the old man has watched the Lord grow from an infant child to such a big ......

I found out for the first time......

Seem......

It seems that the old man thought that the things about the Lord were ......

It seems that they are all a little too biased. ”

Ah Luo was stunned for a while, and then said:

"Master, what are you talking about?"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head slowly, and it took a long time before he replied:

"That's how the old man feels......

It seems that the Lord that the old man saw before was just what the Lord wanted the old man to see......

Seem......

He's been wearing a mask and ...... to everyone."

"Is the master too worried?"

"No......

No.

Do you know that after the lord and the old man argued with the old man yesterday that Concubine Feng Chen could not be reached, he immediately put forward a new opinion? ”

"When the master came back last night, he said it......

It seems that you want to be the head of the nine concubines? ”

"Exactly."

"This ......

Isn't that surprising?

After all, the four concubines are full right now, if you want to seal the Wu clan, then if you don't start from above, you have to ...... from below."

Indeed, if it were someone else, it would be the best thing to think like this......

But Ah Luo, you have also followed the old man since you were a child, and you also know best how deep the master's infatuation with that Wu Meiniang is.

Ah Luo, the old man asks you, with the Lord's infatuation with that Wu Meiniang......

When the first emperor was there, he had always been benevolent and weak, and he dared to do so many things for this Wu Meiniang before he reached the crown......

Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, why is he so patient? ”

Ah Luo was stopped by the eldest grandson Wuji, and was speechless for a while.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, continued:

The old man only thought of this question last night, but the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became......

With the Lord's temperament, with the Lord's infatuation with this Wu Meiniang......

It should be like when he succeeded to the throne, he should immediately make some moves and try to correct Wu Meiniang......

But he didn't. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said thoughtfully:

"He didn't......

In the past year or so, although he has been making frequent moves, he has not once officially proposed to make Wu Meiniang a concubine.

On the contrary, whether he is or Wu Meiniang, he is just trying to use the affairs of the harem to prove that the Wu family is a person by means of the affairs of the harem, again and again, to the ministers of the former dynasty and to the people of the world, which is indeed not as unbearable as rumors......

Don't you think it's strange Arrow? ”

Ah Luo was stunned for a moment, and hesitated a little:

Or......

The lord just hopes to be able to teach the ministers to convince the Wu clan to be a concubine? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him, and said lightly after a long time:

Or...... In the beginning, there may have been such an idea......

But if this is really the case, why is it that at this juncture, the Lord wants to use the matter of Chong'er to propose to the old man the matter of establishing Wu Meiniang as a concubine?

And after the old man once again made it clear that he objected......

Immediately shifted the target and proposed to establish the Wu clan as the nine concubines? ”

Arrow also began to feel a little hesitant:

Or......

Or maybe the lord found that no matter how much he did, no matter how much the ministers of the court recognized the Wu family, with the Wu family's background experience, it would be difficult to ascend to the concubine throne......

That's why it's the next best thing?

As for taking this opportunity to propose......

Could it be because Wu is pregnant? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded:

"Or so you think, yes.

It is indeed in line with the impression that the Lord has always been, and the style of acting is the same as that of people......

But yesterday, the old man noticed a small thing. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji turned around, slowly paced into the small pavilion in the garden and sat down, and watched Ah Luo step forward to make tea for himself before he said slowly:

"You also know that the Lord has loved to play chess since childhood.

However, when discussing matters with the ministers, and discussing political affairs, they must speak more or less, openly or covertly, about chess.

This is especially true when talking to the old man.

If there is a time when he does not speak, there is only one time-

That's when you really play chess.

The more moments like this, the more he refused to talk about the method of chess luck in a game.

And yesterday......

He didn't say a word about chess. ”

Ah Luo was stunned, thinking about daily life, and couldn't help but say:

"Could it be......

Could it be that for the master, yesterday's conversation with the master was a game of chess?

Or is there something the Lord is deliberately hiding?

Or this concubine thing......

It was calculated by the Lord a long time ago......

Just like the way he moves when he usually plays chess? ”

"That's all I can think about......

But if so......

When do you think the Lord will be thinking about this, Arrow? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, but he couldn't help but teach Ah Luo to be secretly shocked:

"What if......

If so......

Could it be that the Lord has calculated everything from the beginning? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed:

"I'm afraid so......

But the real question is......

Arrow, what do you think ......?"

He turned his head and looked at Arlo:

"This starts from the beginning......

When did it start? ”

……

At the same time.

Changan.

Inside the Hibiscus Garden.

Huanshaxuan.

Mei Niang's temporary residence.

The two shadows wrapped in the black curtain knocked softly on the door, and when Liu'er, who was holding a lamp in the door, saw the face of the comer, he couldn't help but scream.

"Be quiet......

Mei Niang can sleep? ”

The taller shadow at the head lifted his soft hat and revealed a handsome face.

It is the son of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi.

Liu'er looked at De'an, who was following Li Zhi, and couldn't help nodding and said:

"My sister is always sleepy these days.

So yesterday, the princess said that she was uneasy, and delayed Sun Lao Immortal to enter the house to check the fetus for her sister. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he walked in with De'an, and said softly:

"What did Daoist Sun say?"

"It's normal, my sister's body is already weak, and the vitality lost from the first child has not recovered, so she is pregnant with a second child......

So it's inevitable that some people are too tired.

prescribed medicine, and Liu'er gave it to her sister according to the prescription, and said that her sister must be sleepy these days.

Don't worry. ”

Li Zhi let out a sigh of relief and nodded:

"If that's the case, then it's for the best."

Yibi said, Yibi walked into the inner hall, took off the big hat and handed it to De'an, but he carefully approached the gauze tent, opened it, and looked at Mei Niang's sleeping face stupidly, seeing that although she was tired, she slept sweetly, so she finally smiled with relief.

On the other side, looking at Li Zhi's appearance, Liu'er couldn't help but stick out his tongue and whispered to De'an:

"Before, Liu'er didn't measure his own strength, and he had to make a bet with his sister, saying that the Lord might not be so impatient......

Fortunately, I didn't bet. ”

Dean smiled faintly and said:

"Naturally, Sister Wu is not in the palace, so the lord can't stay in the palace for a long time no matter what.

To be able to survive until today is already a miracle from heaven. ”

The two attendants laughed together.

After another while, Liu'er saw Li Zhi enter the tent, and couldn't help but say lightly:

"Isn't the Lord going to stay here tonight?

What about the early dynasty? ”

"Nature won't stay......

After a while, it's time to leave.

Recently, I am afraid that there will be some major incidents in the palace, and the Lord also knows that it is not conducive to him to stay here. ”

Liu'er blinked and said:

"What's the big deal?"

De'an glanced at Li Zhi, who seemed to be lying on Mei Niang's side, and sighed:

"Lord, really......

I told the master that I just came to take a look and left......

That's it, let him go.

As for the major events in the palace, it is still related to Sister Wu......

Do you still remember that when Sister Wu was in the Ganye Temple before, she was holding the medicine altar you prepared? ”

Dean smiled faintly, and Liu'er's eyes immediately widened:

"Is it difficult to ...... the emperor Empress......?! ”

Dean smiled and nodded silently.
