Chapter 1267: Crown Princess Su
Li Xiu chose to resign and stay away from the court, the most direct reason was the breakdown of his relationship with Li Chengqian, and he didn't want to watch Li Chengqian step by step into the abyss, so he chose to stay away, but when the matter really came, Li Xiu found that he still couldn't stay out of the matter.
"Husband, is the rumor outside true, Cheng Qian, he ......" Just as Li Xiu was about to turn over and rush to the palace, he saw Princess Pingyang walking out of the inner mansion and asked, her face was also full of anxiety.
"Yes, Cheng Qian, he was going to assassinate His Majesty last night for rebellion, and now he has been arrested by His Majesty." Li Xiu let go of the saddle at this time and sighed, he didn't want Princess Pingyang to know about it too early, but now it seems that she still heard about it, and it is estimated that the people in the family heard the rumors, so they immediately reported it to her.
"him...... Why is he so confused! Princess Pingyang also showed a sad expression when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then raised her head again and said, "Husband, are you going to enter the palace, I'll go with you!" ”
Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang have been married for many years, so they naturally know what she is thinking in her heart, and they also know the purpose of her wanting to enter the palace, so I saw him smile calmly at this time: "Xiuning, don't worry, although Cheng Qian has caused a great disaster this time, but Your Majesty, as a father, should not really treat him well, wasn't King Qi also temporarily imprisoned in the palace before, let alone the crown prince?" ”
Princess Pingyang wanted to enter the palace, mainly to save Li Chengqian's life, otherwise she didn't want to meet Li Shimin, but hearing Li Xiu's words at this time, she finally put her mind at ease a little, but finally asked: "Is the husband sure, is Chengqian really fine?" ”
"Such a big event has happened, and Cheng Qian's position as the crown prince will definitely not be kept, but with His Majesty's favor for him, at most he will be demoted to a concubine, but I am worried that His Majesty will be hit so hard one after another, and he will not be able to bear it!" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but sigh and said, first Li You rebelled first, and then involved Li Chengqian's choice case, which is a devastating blow to any father.
"This is his ...... retribution" Since the Xuanwumen Incident, Princess Pingyang has hated Li Shimin very much, but at this time, when the word "retribution" was spoken, she couldn't say anything, but let her tears gush out, after all, no matter how Li Shimin is also the younger brother of her mother's compatriots, although she hates him, she doesn't want him to suffer such a human tragedy.
Li Xiu could also feel Princess Pingyang's complicated and painful feelings, and sighed again to comfort her for a while, and finally let Princess Pingyang temporarily calm down, and Li Xiu also asked her to go back to the inner house to rest first, and she wanted to visit Li Shimin in the palace, this time Princess Pingyang did not clamo to go, but personally sent him out.
At that moment, Li Xiu said goodbye to Princess Pingyang, and then turned over and got on his horse and prepared to enter the palace, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a carriage rushing on the official road in front of him, which made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang stunned, and then saw that the carriage came to Li Xiu and stopped in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"This is ......" When Li Xiu saw this carriage, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise, because the guards behind the carriage looked like they should be the people of the East Palace, but now that the East Palace should have been blocked, how could there be a carriage coming out?
Before Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang could react, he saw the door of the carriage being opened, and then saw a young woman in palace clothes get out of the carriage, when he saw Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, he saw that the other party knelt down in front of the two and wept and said: "Uncle and aunt are above, Su begged the two to save the prince's life!" ”
"Too ...... Crown Princess! When Li Xiu saw clearly who this woman was, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, this young woman in palace clothes was the crown princess Su, when he chose a concubine for Li Chengqian, Li Shimin had asked Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji's opinion, and later Li Xiu had also met each other a few times, so he was also a little impressed.
"Crown Princess, what are you doing, please get up quickly!" Princess Pingyang also reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Shi up and said, after Su and Li Chengqian got married, they had come to visit her several times, so she was also very familiar with Su.
"Aunt, the prince made a big mistake and is now imprisoned, although I know that the law of the country is ruthless, but the prince is my husband after all, and I can't watch him die under the knife of my father, but my father refuses to see me, and I can only come to ask my aunt and uncle for help!"
At this time, I saw that although Su Shi stood up, she said again with tears like rain, originally with her identity, she could not leave the palace at will, let alone Chang'an City, but for Li Chengqian, she mustered up incomparable courage, and almost forcibly broke through the checkpoint along the way, in order to beg Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang to save Li Chengqian's life.
Hearing Su's words, Li Xiu next to him couldn't help but sigh, although Su was the crown princess, she usually only helped Li Chengqian manage the internal affairs of the East Palace, and she didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing outside.
"Crown Princess, don't worry, I am also preparing to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, and in my estimation, the prince should not worry about his life!" Li Xiu finally spoke up at this time.
Speaking of which, this princess is also pitiful, at the beginning, Li Chengqian just wanted to be angry with Li Shimin, so he chose her as the princess casually, and I heard that after she entered the palace, although she has been trying her best to serve Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian does not like her very much, and later Li Chengqian and Chengxin had a bad relationship, which made the Su family lose face as the crown princess, and even some people made rumors that it was because the Su family was not loved by the prince, which made the prince like men instead.
"Really, is the prince really going to be fine?" When Su Shi heard Li Xiu's words, he finally raised his head and asked with tears in his eyes.
"I promise that the crown prince will be fine, but the crown princess, if you run out without permission like this, I am afraid that you will also be criticized, it is better for you to be with the princess first, and I will immediately enter the palace to meet Your Majesty!" Li Xiu said solemnly again.
"As long as the prince is safe, even if he is demoted to a concubine, I am willing!" Su Shi said with tears in her eyes again at this time, she is a smart woman, and she has long known that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince will definitely not be kept, but as long as Li Chengqian's life can be spared, she will not have any complaints, and she will still silently stay by Li Chengqian's side in the future.
Looking at the infatuated woman of the Su family, Li Xiu also sighed secretly, because the time was urgent, so he also said goodbye and left again, and the Su family was temporarily taken care of by Princess Pingyang, so as not to let her think crankily alone.
