Chapter 660: Brothers

As soon as the news spread that Li Zhi was going to Gyeongju, the concubines of the East Palace came together, crying and crying, saying that they were reluctant to let the prince go far away, knowing that it was futile, but they tried their best to keep it, so as to prove how important the prince was in their hearts, and how reluctant they were to let the prince leave them.

Li Zhi was in a good mood at this time, and the wives and wives strongly expressed their reluctance to him and showed their love to him, and he couldn't drive them away, so he had to comfort them one by one, especially Xiao Liangdi, who was pregnant, and cared a lot about her and asked her to take care of her body.

But no matter how much he comforted and cared, the concubines turned over and over, endlessly, after you finished saying her, she said what I said, I don't know how reluctant to say it hundreds or thousands of times, when I think that they won't see the prince for a long time, I can't help but cry!

In the end, even Shi Aiguo was tired of hearing this, and he thought to himself: "Even if the prince doesn't leave Chang'an and the East Palace, you can see him every day?" Many people here haven't seen the prince for a month, and if it weren't for the fact that the prince is leaving, I'm afraid you won't see him for a few months. What is there to cry about, the more you cry, the more upset the prince becomes, and the more I don't want to see you in the future! ”

Li Zhi was really annoyed by crying, he glanced at the concubines and said, "What about the crown princess, why didn't she come?" ”

The crown princess Wang is the head of the concubines in the East Palace, she should be present at this time, and she should cry the loudest, but the other concubines are here, but she is missing.

Xiao Liangdi held her big belly and said very unhappily: "When my sister heard that Her Royal Highness was going to Gyeongju, she didn't come to see her off, but instead ran away, she didn't run early or late, but she ran at this time, I don't know what kind of heart she has." Your Highness, don't pay attention to her......"

Li Zhi's ears are soft, and now he is upset by the concubines crying, when he heard Xiao Liangdi's words, he felt a little unhappy, and said, "What did she do?" The palace is only so big, where can she run to, inexplicable. ”

Saying that, he threw up his sleeves and got up, left the Chongxian Pavilion, went to find his little sister Li Yiren, avoided the concubines, and listened to them crying, which really annoyed him, and Shi Aiguo accompanied him.

After taking the chariot, Li Zhi sat on the chariot and asked, "Where did the crown princess go?" ”

Shi Aiguo said: "Back to the prince's words, Niangniang is not like others, she understands things!" You're going to Gyeongju, who is there in Gyeongju? ”

Li Zhi heaved and said, "This is what you ask, who else can there be in Gyeongju, is there any illness!" ”

Shi Aiguo smiled: "Yes, that prince is Niangniang's mother's family, Niangniang knows that you are going to see her cousin, of course you have to go to see your cousin's daughter-in-law!" ”

Li Zhi sighed and said strangely: "She didn't say goodbye to me first and said something considerate, but she ran to see her little sister, but why?" "Is it reasonable that a husband is not as important as a cousin and a daughter-in-law?

Shi Aiguo smiled even more, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you are in the East Palace, if Niangniang wants to say something considerate to you, she can't say it, how many people want to talk to you." But if she is with the little princess, then it will be said, and the little princess will not fight with the mother for anything. ”

Li Zhi then understood, shook his head and said: "These women, I really can't figure out what they think, don't they just want to talk to Lone, but they have to make such a big detour, it's not troublesome!" ”

Shi Aiguo laughed a few times and didn't answer. He thought to himself: "The point is that she wants to tell you, and you have to be in the mood to listen to it!" You must not be in the mood in the East Palace, but when you go to the little princess, even if you are not in the mood, you have to listen, or you will have to let the little princess see the joke! ”

After a short time, I arrived at Li Yiren's palace, and the crown princess Wang was really here, accompanying Li Yiren to pack up her things. Li Yiren found a lot of good things, a lot of exquisite supplies in the palace, she wanted to ask Li Zhi to bring Wang Ping'an, and the big bags were being packed. As a cousin, of course the Wang family has the obligation to help, and there is just an excuse not to leave, waiting for the prince to arrive.

Entering the palace, Li Zhi looked at the Wang family and thought: "It's really here, she seems to have become much smarter, and she actually blocked me here, won't she cry all the time, it's really annoying." ”

Unexpectedly, when Wang saw Li Zhi, he didn't cry or scream, but congratulated Li Zhi with Li Yiren, saying that he could go to observe the people's feelings and increase his experience, which is a great thing, but be careful on the road and don't get sick or anything.

Li Yidao: "Brother Prince, you go to Gyeongju, you have to be careful on the road, my little sister often hears people say that there are many bad people in this world, and everyone wants to harm you." ”

Li Zhi said loudly and said: "Everyone wants to harm Lonely, that may not be, if Lone is killed, what benefits can those bad people get?" There are no advantages, but there are a lot of disadvantages. ”

He thought to himself: "It's impossible for the people to harm me, but it's not a common people's person, such as Li Ke, he is very likely, if I die, he will be on the throne." ”

Li Yiren took out a small slender wooden stick, the middle of this slender wooden stick was empty, she opened the small wooden stick, and took out a silver cone from it, very delicate, smooth so smooth that it could almost reflect light. She said: "Brother Prince, this silver needle is given to you, you need to be careful when you go out, you need to be careful when eating and drinking, before eating and drinking, try this silver needle first, if it turns black, it will prove poisonous." ”

Li Zhi took the silver needle and looked at it, and said: "There are also this kind of things in the palace to test poison, but it is rare to make this kind of awl style, and the ones I have seen are chopsticks and silver medals." ”

Wang hurriedly said: "This is a gift from the concubine's brother to Yiren, she cares about the prince, so she will pass it on to you." ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "It was sent by Wang Ping'an?" He's got all the good stuff to move to you! ”

Wang Ping'an gave Li Yiren a lot of gifts, all in the name of the Wang couple, all of which were precious, and the big businessmen in Beijing befriended Wang Ping'an, with rare treasures, and also sent people to honor Li Yiren, so Li Yiren is now very rich in the Tang Dynasty, she has all the good things in her palace, and her food and clothing are even more luxurious than the emperor.

Li Yiren took the silver needle and said, "To make it look like this, it has a self-defense effect." It's always bad to carry a knife with you, it takes up space, and it's not necessarily useful, but this silver needle is different. Brother Prince, look! ”

She took the silver needle like an awl in her hand and said, "If an assassin wants to harm you, the guards can't stop the assassin and let him bully him, Brother Prince, you have to do this......" She gestured with the silver needle and smiled: "Suddenly a prick into the assassin's eye can destroy him!" ”

Li Zhi sighed, took the silver needle and looked at it carefully, gestured a few times, and said: "It turns out that it can be used as a close-fitting weapon, and it is really a good thing!" He put the silver needle in the stick and put it in his bosom.

Wang also prepared a gift for Li Zhi, but she came in a hurry, as soon as she learned that Li Zhi was leaving, she hurried to Li Yiren, how could she have time to prepare gifts, but to bring Li Yiren's things to come, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

They are preparing here, and King Wu's mansion is also in full swing, and Li Ke is also preparing his luggage.

King Wu's mansion has recruited a group of new staff and capable people, and there will never be a shortage of people who want to go to the side, although Li Ke's stove is cold, but there are as many people who come to burn the fire.

Li Ke stood in the main hall, with a huge map hanging on the screen, and dozens of people gathered around Li Ke, analyzing various key points of the trip with him.

A staff member said: "Lord Wang, if you want to go to Gyeongju, there are two roads, and you can take the official road for more than 1,000 miles, but if you go closer, it is only hundreds of miles, almost half of it." Let's go to Gyeongju this time, it's better to take a shortcut, the shortcut is high in mountains and waters, and there are some things that you can find a chance to do! ”

The other staff members also nodded, and everyone knew what else they could do, of course, it was the prince's business. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the prince left Beijing, the road was "not very peaceful", something happened, isn't it normal!

Li Ke shook his head and said: "It's impossible, if this king goes alone, it's just a matter of approaching, but if you go with that person, you can only take the official road." I wanted to take a shortcut, but he wouldn't, and he had to listen to him. ”

Another staff member said: "It's okay to take the official road, but if you delay it for a long time, there will be more opportunities." The water and soil are not adapted, it is a good excuse, that person has never traveled far from Beijing, he is used to eating the water of Chang'an, and then he eats from other places, but it is not easy to not fall ill. ”

The staff nodded together, this is a good idea, you can make a fuss from drinking water.

Li Ke has also not left Chang'an for so long, and he doesn't understand too much about the matter of not adapting to the water and soil. He asked, "Poisoning in the water?" This is not easy, it can be tried, that person wants to drink water, he must ask someone else to drink it for him first, and the taste is ...... This king knew that there was a kind of poison called arsenic, and although the one in it was killed immediately, it smelled very strong, and the attendant he carried with him could know that the water was poisonous when he smelled it! ”

A capable man standing on the periphery shouted in a strange accent: "There are tasteless poison villains, and it is very easy to poison, and villains know a method of poisoning." ”

Everyone turned back together and looked at the capable man who spoke, and saw that this person had a high nose and deep eyes, and he was a bearded man. Hu people can go to Li Ke's house to cheat and cheat, it's really a miracle!

No matter who they are, as long as they are useful, the Tang people and Hu people are all people, and they are all the same in Li Ke's eyes. Li Ke beckoned: "Come here, talk about it, what kind of poisoning method?" ”

The Hu man squeezed in, looked at the others very proudly, and said, "I don't know who the prince is going to poison, the villain only heard about that person, who is that person?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all frowned, who is that person, that person, who dares to really find out who he is, don't die, who knows if there are spies from the East Palace, just know it!

Li Ke said: "That man is the name of a horse, stronger than a cow, taller than a camel, this king wants to poison this horse!" ”

Hu Ren thought: "A horse? Can you use such trouble, you can't just stab you to death. He said, "This is easy, and if you use a sheep that has been plagued, you can take your blood and mix it with water, and if you drink it, you will die in a few days." And the symptoms are milder, it is not adaptable, even if it is more severe, it doesn't matter, that is, it is infected with the plague! ”
