"Hiss~" Li Ke couldn't help but sigh after listening to Li Xiu's words, and even felt a chill on his body, he never expected a word of praise for himself, but after Li Xiu's explanation, there was such a layer of frightening.

Seeing the change in the expression on Li Ke's face, Li Xiu also sighed, the royal family is so complicated, what is praised is not necessarily praise, and what is criticized is not necessarily criticism, Li Shimin praises Li Ke for being like him, but he is able to kill his brother and father ruthlessly, if he really makes Li Ke the prince, who can guarantee that Li Ke will not attack his brother for some reason in the future?

Others don't say it, such as Li Chengqian, if Li Ke ascends to the crown prince, it means that Li Chengqian is deposed, but Li Chengqian has been the prince for more than ten years, and he has accumulated a strong foundation, even if he is deposed, it will still pose a huge threat to Li Ke in the future, and with Li Ke's decisive temperament, even if he can endure it for a while, he will never be able to endure it for a lifetime, and when Li Shimin dies, I am afraid that Li Chengqian will definitely be executed, and this obviously touches Li Shimin's bottom line.

"Ke'er, now you understand, if you really ascend to the throne of the crown prince, will you let go of Chengqian and these people in the future?" Li Xiu looked at the uncertain expression on Li Ke's face, and asked again at the moment.

"I ...... I ......" Li Ke is not Li Tai after all, and he can't say anything like "killing his son and passing on his brother" that ghosts don't believe, and even he is torturing himself in his heart at this time, if he really ascends the throne, can he let go of the eldest brother and the fourth brother, but no matter how much he wants to deny it, the most true answer in his heart is still negative, for the stability of the throne, he will never let go of Li Chengqian, which made him finally show a depressed expression.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't answer, Li Xiu didn't speak again, but made a new cup of tea, and then put it in front of Li Ke, without disturbing Li Ke's thinking, until a long time later, I saw that Li Ke suddenly sighed, and then stood up and knelt down to Li Xiu and said: "Thank you for your guidance, otherwise Li Ke may cause a monstrous disaster!" ”

Li Xiu also hurriedly helped Li Ke up at this time, and then asked him to sit down, at this time he was also very relieved: "Ke'er, you can afford to put it down, I also admire this very much, this is also one of your greatest advantages, in fact, with your character, even if you give up the throne, your future achievements will not be lower than anyone else!" ”

Li Xiu's words are not to comfort Li Ke, but he really feels that Li Ke's character who can afford to let go is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and even he, a gentleman, sometimes can't do it, Li Ke and Li Shimin are really similar, but the more Li Ke behaves like Li Shimin, the more he will be excluded from the throne by Li Shimin.

"Sir, don't praise me anymore, in fact, I'm just protecting myself." Li Ke shook his head at this time and said with a wry smile, although he had given up the idea of competing for the throne at this time, he was still uncomfortable at this time, after all, he had great expectations for this matter before, and now he suddenly wanted to give up, which made him emotionally unacceptable for a while.

At the moment, Li Xiu comforted Li Ke a few more words, and Li Ke was very open-minded, although it was a little difficult to accept in his heart, but he was very rational, so he soon began to discuss with Li Xiu when he would leave Chang'an, after all, since he knew that he had no chance to be on the throne, then staying in Chang'an would only cause trouble, so the sooner he left, the better.

However, even if Li Ke wants to leave, he will have to wait until Li Shimin's birthday, after all, he has come, and if he leaves too quickly, it will arouse suspicion, and Li Ke has already decided that he will not make any more moves during this time, but stay in his palace honestly, and after Li Shimin's birthday, he will immediately leave Chang'an, the land of right and wrong.

After chatting about business, Li Xiu and Li Ke chatted some more gossip, but at this time, Li Ke suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and said: "By the way, I almost forgot one thing, this is a letter that Zhang Shiyi asked me to transfer to my husband, it seems that it was sent by the eldest brother from America!" ”

Li Xiu saw that it was a letter from Zhang Shiyi, and hurriedly took it and opened it, only to find that there was a letter in the envelope, with the words "Mr. personally opened" written on it, which was Li Chengdao's handwriting.

Seeing Li Chengdao's letter, Li Xiu couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart, and when he opened the letter, when he saw the content of the letter, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

There is two good and bad news on Li Chengdao's letter, the good news is that the last time he wrote a letter, he told Li Xiu that Li Yuan had a serious illness and was bedridden for several months, and Li Chengdao had already prepared for the worst at that time, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to survive, and finally his body slowly recovered.

But just when Li Yuan's body had just recovered, another person fell ill, this person was Pei Lin who went to the Americas with Li Yuan, Pei Lian's body was originally stronger than Li Yuan, and he was younger than Li Yuan, and he didn't have any serious illness when he arrived in the Americas, but this time he was sick like a mountain, and Pei Lian's body was already dead in just a few days, and finally Li Chengdao and others tried hard to save Pei Lian's life.

Pei Lian's death also hit Li Yuan, who had just recovered from illness, and turned out to fall ill again, just when Li Chengdao wrote the letter, Li Yuan's condition also deteriorated again, so he didn't know how long Li Yuan could last?

"What's wrong with sir, is there something wrong with his grandfather?" Li Ke saw that Li Xiu's face suddenly became very ugly, and he couldn't help but be concerned at the moment, he had occasionally bumped into Li Ke and Li Yuan last time, so he also knew about Li Yuan's affairs in the Americas, and even the last time Li Yuan was sick, he also heard from Zhang Shiyi.

"See for yourself!" Li Xiu didn't have the strength to explain to Li Ke at this time, and then stuffed the letter in his hand into his hand, Pei Lian's death was also a huge blow to him, although Pei Lin was sleek, and the views of the two sometimes did not coincide, but the two were old friends, and now that this old friend died, the blow to him can be imagined.

Li Ke took the letter and read it carefully, and when he saw that Pei Lin died instead of his grandfather, he was also quietly relieved, but when he saw his grandfather's condition deteriorate again, he also frowned, when Li Yuan was there, he also took great care of him, so his feelings for Li Yuan were also very deep.

"Gentleman's Day condolences!" Li Ke quickly noticed Li Xiu's expression, he knew that Li Xiu and Pei Lin had a deep friendship, so he also held back the worry in his heart at this time and persuaded him.

"I'm in a mess now, Ke'er, you can accompany me to a place!" Li Xiu nodded first, and then turned his head to Li Ke.
