Imperial Doctor Shen is the resident imperial doctor of Princess Pingyang's mansion, and the family lives in the mansion, and he has also heard about the relationship between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, but now he suddenly found out that Princess Pingyang is pregnant, which is not good news, after all, Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu are not an upright couple, if this matter spreads, it will definitely cause a great blow to Princess Pingyang's reputation, so he is a little hesitant.

However, what Imperial Doctor Shen never expected was that as soon as his words came out, Princess Pingyang had not yet reacted, Li Xiu next to him jumped up and picked up Princess Pingyang and shouted: "Great, we finally have a child!" ”

"Ah~" Princess Pingyang was also taken aback by Li Xiu's actions, especially since there were so many people around, which made her even more ashamed, she struggled two but couldn't break free of Li Xiu's hand, and finally had to blush and whisper, "Let me go quickly, so many people are going to die of shame when they look at it!" ”

"What's there to be shy about being held by your own husband?" Li Xiu said with a smile, but after saying that, he still put her down, after all, Princess Pingyang was pregnant, and she had to be careful.

"Imperial Doctor Shen, how long has the princess been pregnant, and in what month will the child be born?" Li Xiu asked Imperial Doctor Shen again, although this child was a little wrong when he came, it was a great joy after all, not to mention that he and Princess Pingyang had also been looking forward to this child for a long time.

"Qi Li sacrifice wine, the child is less than two months old, it is estimated that the child will not be born until August!" Imperial Doctor Shen smiled bitterly again and said, he had only heard about it before, but now that he saw Li Xiu's happy appearance, he knew who the child in the princess's womb was without asking.

"August? Then I have to solve the current matter quickly, so that the princess can raise the baby with peace of mind! Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to himself when he heard this, and at the same time he felt that his whole body was full of energy at this time, counting Yi Niang, he already had two children coming to this world, so no matter what, he had to create a safe environment for the children!

Princess Pingyang is pregnant, if it is placed before, she will definitely be extremely happy, after all, when she saw her sisters calling for children before, she has always been very envious, dreaming of having a child of her own, and now this wish has finally been completed, but now they are under siege, and even her own safety cannot be guaranteed, which makes Princess Pingyang happy and full of worry.

Li Xiu was also worried, but he believed in his own ability more, so he had been patiently waiting for Pei Ju's news, he thought that Pei Ju would reply to him soon after leaving, but what he didn't expect was that after waiting for three days in a row, Pei Ju came again as a messenger.

"Virtuous son-in-law, King Qin agrees with you, he will wait for you in the barracks tomorrow!" As soon as Pei Ju saw Li Xiu, he immediately said.

"Isn't it just to meet, King Qin has been thinking about it for so long?" Li Xiu was very surprised at this time, the taste of waiting was not very pleasant, especially since he had been waiting for three days in a row, and even made him wonder if something had happened to Li Shimin?

"Something happened in Chang'an, and King Qin had no choice but to deal with it, so it was delayed for a few days, but as soon as King Qin came back, he asked me to inform you that we will meet you tomorrow, it seems that he also attaches great importance to you!" Pei Ju said with a smile, he didn't say anything happened in Chang'an, and Li Xiu didn't want to ask.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow!" Li Xiu nodded and agreed, he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now that he had finally waited, whether he could get his people out of trouble in one fell swoop depended on the negotiation with Li Shimin tomorrow.

After sending Pei Ju away, Li Xiu immediately brought Princess Pingyang and Ma Ye and others, and then told them about his going to see Li Shimin tomorrow, but Ma Ye immediately said after hearing it: "Okay, since you kid dare to go, then I will accompany you personally!" ”

"Uncle Ma, the princess still needs you to deal with military affairs, so you don't have to go, I'll just go alone, anyway, I'm going to negotiate with King Qin, not to fight with him." Li Xiu refused with a smile when he heard this, although the two armies would not fight each other, but at this time, he still had to take a certain risk when he went to Li Shimin, so he had to prepare for the worst.

"Li Xiu is right, Brother Ma, you don't need to take risks, if King Qin really wants to be unfavorable to Li Xiu, it will be useless for us to go to more people, so I think it's okay to send a few capable guards to follow!" At this time, Qiu Shili, who was sitting next to Ma Ye, also spoke.

"Well, I also think Li Xiu is reasonable, Uncle Ma, you don't have to go!" At this time, Princess Pingyang also spoke. Seeing that everyone was against it, Ma Ye had no choice but to give up this idea, but he sent the most powerful guard around him to Li Xiu's side, that is, the seventh child, who was Li Xiu's old acquaintance.

Early the next morning, Li Xiu took Lao Qi and a few other guards out of the barracks, rode to the opposite side, and immediately someone picked them up into the camp, but what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the person who guided them did not take him to the camp tent, but after passing through the barracks, and finally came to the outside of a building in the barracks.

"The Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw this, and it was a coincidence to say that his house was located in the encirclement, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture not far from his home happened to be located in Li Shimin's army, he was originally worried that this newly built yamen would be destroyed by the hands of soldiers, but he didn't expect that there were heavy guards around the entire yamen, and the entire yamen seemed to be as usual, and even the small shacks built in the market in front of the yamen were not touched.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is waiting for you inside!" The general who led Li Xiu made a gesture of please, and Li Xiu had to go in, but when Lao Qi and the others in the back wanted to go in, they were blocked, and then Li Xiu motioned for them to wait outside, and then entered the yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture alone.

Li Xiu was originally an official of the Ministry of Agriculture, so he was naturally familiar with this place, and soon found Li Shimin standing there in front of the greenhouse in the backyard. I haven't seen him for a few days, Li Shimin still looks heroic and decisive, but Li Xiu keenly sees a little tiredness in his eyes, and it seems that he hasn't rested much during this time.

"King Qin...... No, shouldn't you be addressed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? Li Xiu walked slowly in front of Li Shimin and said, to his surprise, there was only Li Shimin here, and he didn't even see a guard, but it was not strange to think about it, after all, he should be able to guess that there must be many things that Li Xiu wanted to talk to him about.

"I used to take the initiative to see you, but it's rare for you to take the initiative to see me once, is it just to sarcastically mock me?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin asked with an expressionless face.

"Of course not, it's just that we were deceived by you so hard before, especially the princess, and even warned the prince for you, but what you did made her so sad!" Li Xiu sighed lightly and said, he has always had a neutral attitude towards Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, and he didn't care who died or lived, but Li Shimin's previous deception made him a little annoyed.

Hearing Li Xiu talk about Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin's face also showed a look of pain, and he was silent for a while before he spoke: "I did deceive the third sister, and I feel most sorry for her and my father, but at that time I had no way to retreat, if I did it again, I would make the same choice!" ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but be silent for a while, and finally suddenly sighed and said: "The matter has passed, and it is useless to talk about these things, but I want to ask, what are you going to do with those people who are Chengdao, do you really want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”

"Do I have any other options?" Li Shimin barely paused the way, and his face quickly showed a decisive expression, which he was very similar to his father Li Yuan, feelings are feelings, but when it comes to their own power, they will immediately become ruthless, and Princess Pingyang is usually normal, but when she arrives on the battlefield, she will also seem to be a different person, which makes Li Xiu also wonder if this is inherited from their family?

"You really have no other choice, but you must also know that the princess will never hand over her nephews and nieces and her own brother to death, which makes the conflict between you impossible to solve at all, are you going to kill even the princess?" Li Xiu asked a very sharp question again at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu mention Princess Pingyang again, Li Shimin was silent again, although he was able to kill his eldest brother, but Princess Pingyang's sister was completely different to him, especially Princess Pingyang was very similar to their mother Queen Dou, Queen Dou loved Li Shimin's son the most, because she felt that Li Shimin was the most similar to Li Yuan, and later Queen Dou died early, and Li Shimin was often taken care of by Princess Pingyang, so in his heart, This older sister is actually the embodiment of his own mother, and he will never be ruthless enough to kill his mother.

"Third sister...... Third sister, is she okay? I saw that Li Shimin was silent for a while, and finally spoke again, but this time he asked an irrelevant question.

"It's not good, I haven't seen the prince happy since I knew that she died at your hands, and every time I see them, I can't help but shed tears, and she doesn't even want to call you her brother when she mentions you." Li Xiu sighed and said truthfully.

"I ......"

Li Shimin also felt a sour nose when he heard this, and he just opened his mouth to say something, but at this time, Li Xiu suddenly thought of something, and interrupted him at the moment: "But a few days ago, I found a happy event, that is, the princess is pregnant!" ”

"What? You...... You...... You've done a great job! Li Shimin was in a low mood, but when he heard the news, he almost jumped up, although Princess Pingyang had dissolved her marriage with Chai Shao, but she did not justifiably marry Li Xiu, not to mention that Li Xiu already had a wife, and now Princess Pingyang is pregnant, if this is spread out, I am afraid I don't know what others say?

"Nonsense, of course I did a good thing, and now I'm not afraid to tell you, when His Majesty forced me to marry a lady, I worshipped the princess first in a fit of anger, and Pei Lin was next to me as a witness at that time, so the princess has long been my wife!" Li Xiu puffed up his chest at this time and said, this matter was a taboo in the past, and Li Yuan must not be allowed to know, but now that Li Shimin has seized power, it doesn't matter if it is spread out, this is good news for Li Xiu.

"You...... You're so daring! Li Shimin didn't know what to say about Li Xiu's actions, even if it was him, he didn't expect Li Xiu to dare to do this.

"My courage has always been very small, if it weren't for someone forcing me, I would rather be honest and obedient, for example, if you ascend the throne in the future, as long as you admit my marriage to the princess, then I will definitely not make trouble for you in the future!" Li Xiu said with a hippie smile, in fact, he was also telling the truth, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, he would rather stay at home now and eat hot pot and drink songs, rather than risk his life to come to negotiate with Li Shimin.

"No problem, as long as I ascend the throne, I will immediately give you and the third sister a decree of marriage!" Li Shimin said very happily at this time, but after finishing speaking, he continued, "But the premise is that you go and persuade the third sister to hand over all the people of the fourth brother, and the women will be counted, but all the men must not leave any of them!" ”

"You...... You are too ruthless, those children are your own nephews, and one of the youngest brothers is less than a year old, can you really bear to kill them? Li Xiu said angrily again, he played so many emotional cards just now, but it turned out to be useless.

"I want to let them go, but you won't not understand, if you keep them, then there will be hope and sustenance for the original princes, if there is a chance in the future, they will definitely support one of my good nephews to make a comeback, I don't want to leave myself a future enemy!" Li Shimin said resolutely again, this is his righteousness, no matter what Li Xiu says, he will not back down half a point!

Seeing this, Li Xiu finally gave up other plans, thought about it for a moment and finally sighed and said, "Okay, it seems that it is useless for me to say anything else, I can only use the last resort, how about we make a deal?" ”

"Deal? You wouldn't want to exchange the lives of the fourth brother for any conditions, right? But I advise you not to waste your strength, I will not agree to whatever you say! Li Shimin immediately guessed Li Xiu's intentions, and immediately refused with a sneer.

"That's not necessarily, since I dare to make a deal with you, I am naturally sure to take out what you want most, I just ask you to spare their lives, and I can guarantee that they will never threaten your rule over the Tang Dynasty in the future!" Li Xiu was confident at this time. (To be continued.) )
