Chapter 226: Another Yang Wengan

"Your Highness, what did the prince invite you to the banquet yesterday?" Li Xiu stared at Li Shimin with blazing eyes at this time and asked, he already knew why Li Shimin dared to take the risk of eating arsenic!

"What to eat?" Li Shimin immediately said a little vigilantly when he heard Li Xiu's questioning, and at the same time was a little worried that Li Xiu really saw something?

"Hehe, I just feel strange that His Highness's vomit has a lot of white lumps, I guess this thing should be something like cow and goat milk, and there are quite a few of them, could it be that the prince invited His Royal Highness to the banquet just to drink so much milk?" Li Xiu said with a smile on his face at this time, but there was a bit of questioning in his tone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I didn't eat much at the banquet last night, I just drank some wine, and when I came back, I felt a little hungry, so I drank two bowls of goat's milk, is there anything wrong with that?" Li Shimin reacted quickly, and then made a very relaxed expression and said, as long as he bites this point, no one can do anything about him.

"Oh? Your Highness is really lucky, as far as I know, dairy products such as cow and goat milk can neutralize the toxicity of arsenic, and His Highness drank goat milk so coincidentally after poisoning, it seems that even God is favoring you! Li Xiu suddenly smiled at this time.

The ghost believed that Li Shimin drank goat's milk unintentionally, and he probably didn't know where to get goat's milk to cure the poison of arsenic, so he dared to risk his life, and even Li Xiu, who knew in advance that Li Shimin would poison himself, was almost deceived by him, let alone others.

"Hehe, this king is indeed very favored by God, I remember once on the battlefield, I encountered the enemy's ambush, only Yu Chi Gong and other more than a dozen people to protect, when the arrows rained down, the people around him were killed or injured, even Wei Chi Gong was hit by several arrows, but I was the only one who didn't even hurt the skin, and finally fought out of the encirclement unscathed, since then, I am more convinced that I am destined not to be ordinary!" In the end, Li Shimin's eyes showed a fanatical look.

Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he saw this, Li Shimin's ambition was not established overnight, but accumulated little by little with his military achievements, but it was precisely because of this that he had an unspeakable paranoia about the throne, and this paranoia was destined to make him not retreat easily, and I am afraid it was also the fundamental reason for the later brotherhood.

"Your Majesty is still waiting for news outside, since His Royal Highness's body is gradually recovering, then he will retire!" Li Xiu saluted again at this time.

"Wait a minute, you...... You're not going to say anything in front of your father, are you? Li Shimin stopped Li Xiu again at this time, and then asked in a worried low voice, although he didn't admit it just now, he was actually worried about what Li Xiu would say in front of his father, with his father's suspicious character, even if there was no evidence, I am afraid that he would doubt himself.

"Your Majesty just asked me to come and see your situation, and what I saw was that you woke up, as for the affairs of your family, frankly speaking, if it wasn't for Pingyang, I wouldn't be too lazy to take a look!" Li Xiu glanced at Li Shimin at this time, turned around and went out after speaking, but this also made Li Shimin on the hospital bed finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Yuan and Princess Pingyang were still waiting anxiously outside at this time, and there was another young woman next to her, it was the eldest grandson whom Li Xiu had seen, and when they saw Li Xiu come out, the three of them immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it, Erlang (second brother) is okay?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, King Qin has woken up, but his body is still very weak, if Your Majesty wants to visit, it is not appropriate to talk to him for too long!" Li Xiu bowed.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Princess Pingyang and the eldest grandson were even more happy to shed tears, it can be seen that although Li Yuan is splitting up the power in Li Shimin's hands, when he returns to the role of father, he is still very concerned about Li Shimin's son.

At that moment, Li Yuan and the three of them went inside to visit Li Shimin, Li Xiu stayed outside and waited boredly, before he still couldn't figure out why Li Shimin poisoned himself, although doing so could frame Li Yuanji, and then implicate Li Jiancheng, but with Li Yuan's suspicion, I am afraid that he will soon suspect that he is using bitter meat, and in the end it is impossible to cause any harm to Li Jiancheng.

But now Li Xiu suddenly figured it out, Li Shimin's poisoning himself is not as simple as it seems, and even this is just the beginning of Li Shimin's counterattack plan, and when Yang Wengan's recruitment of private soldiers breaks out, then he will frame Li Jiancheng for intending to rebel, so that there is an explanation for his poisoning, and even without him saying it, Li Yuan will suspect that Li Jiancheng really intends to rebel, after all, Li Shimin controls most of the troops, and Li Jiancheng will naturally be the first to get rid of him if he wants to rebel.

Just when Li Xiu was thinking about Li Shimin's counterattack plan, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall again, and then saw a mighty middle-aged man striding in, followed by a tall and handsome young man, which made Li Xiu also stunned, because the two people who came were His Royal Highness Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

"Huh? Li Xiu, why are you here? Li Jiancheng couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Li Xiu, Li Yuanji behind him was a little embarrassed when he saw him, he hadn't forgotten the fact that he had failed to rob Yuechan last time, but he was taught a hard lesson by Princess Pingyang, and he also heard some things from Li Jiancheng, knowing that this guy in front of him was a little ambiguous with his third sister, and now he didn't even dare to have the idea of revenge.

"The princess was unwell after hearing that King Qin was poisoned and unconscious, and she happened to be by the princess's side, so she accompanied the princess." Li Xiu said honestly, Li Jiancheng's arrival was unexpected, but also reasonable, although Li Shimin's poisoning behind the scenes pointed at him, but as the prince of a country, on the surface, he still had to maintain a brother, friend and brother attitude with Li Shimin.

"I see, third sister, is she okay?" Li Jiancheng nodded when he heard this, and then he didn't ask about Li Shimin's poisoning, but instead cared about Princess Pingyang who came to visit, just from this point, you can see how far their brothers have come?

"The princess was so grief-stricken that she almost fainted, but just now King Qin woke up, and the princess was also very happy, so it should be fine." Li Xiu replied with a smile again, but at this time, he was silently mourning for Li Jiancheng in his heart, and it was unlucky to meet such a ruthless younger brother as Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng nodded when he heard this, and then went inside with Li Yuanji to visit, although it was just for show, but it was very necessary, which also made Li Xiu pout secretly, I am afraid that only Princess Pingyang came to visit Li Shimin for the purpose of family affection.

Li Xiu waited in the palace for a while, and finally Li Yuan came out with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, but he didn't see Princess Pingyang, and after waiting for a while, Princess Pingyang came out, but she said apologetically: "Li Xiu, you've been waiting for a long time, I won't go back tonight, the second brother is injured, the eldest grandson is also sad and can't help himself, and there are these children to take care of at home, so I plan to live in the palace for a few days and then go back!" ”

"No problem, although the princess can stay in the palace with confidence, Uncle Ma and I will go back first, and I will also have people send what the princess needs!" Li Xiu immediately nodded when he heard this, his younger brother was injured, and it was reasonable for Princess Pingyang, who was her sister, to stay behind to help take care of her.

At that moment, Princess Pingyang personally sent Li Xiu outside the palace, and then went back, Ma Ye stayed in the carriage and did not enter the hall, Li Xiu saw him tell the princess Pingyang not to go back, and then began to complain: "Uncle Ma, why didn't you even enter the hall just now, if you go in, I will have someone to talk to?" ”

"I'm too lazy to go, the murderer of King Qin's poisoning must be one of their three brothers, but no matter who does it, the saddest one must be our princess!" Ma Ye glanced at the Chengqian Hall where Li Shimin lived at this time, and his tone of voice became a little annoyed, he also felt a little worthless in Princess Pingyang, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Xiu also felt that it was a truth when he heard it, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment, and got into the carriage and went back with Ma Ye, at this time it was completely dark, but Ma Ye had a token in the army, even after the curfew, it could be unimpeded, but this token was limited to one person, and if he brought too many people, he would also be stopped.

"Uncle Ma, King Qin was poisoned, I'm afraid the prince will be suspected by everyone, although I don't think the prince has the motive to poison, but I'm afraid he can't get out of it, right?" On the carriage, Li Xiu asked tentatively at this time, he wanted to hear the analysis of this matter by a professional like Ma Ye, and see if he could guess the truth of the matter?

"Hehe, the prince is not completely without a motive for poisoning, something happened in the army some time ago, I'm afraid you don't know it yet." Ma Ye suddenly smiled at this time.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"King Qin has a henchman named Zhang Liang under him, who specializes in helping King Qin do some unsightly things, such as secretly contacting the wealthy clan in Shandong, recruiting some private soldiers, etc., but some time ago, King Qi accused Zhang Liang of bad intentions, so His Majesty asked King Qi to interrogate Zhang Liang in person, but he didn't expect to use up the torture, but Zhang Liang's hard bone didn't say a word, and he couldn't attach himself to King Qin at all, and the mastermind behind this matter was the prince." Ma Ye said with a smile, not many people know about this matter, and he just happened to be one of them.

Li Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, if this Zhang Liang was recruited, I am afraid it would be another "Yang Wengan incident", Li Shimin was already at a disadvantage at this time, I am afraid that he will have to shed his skin if he does not die, from this point of view, Li Jiancheng is not a good bird, and he will do whatever it takes to combat Li Shimin's forces, as for the Yang Wengan incident after that, I am afraid it is also Li Shimin's counterattack, but Li Shimin is playing more cleverly.
