Chapter 187: The Prince (2/5) begs for subscription
Li Xian walked through the empty palace city, still a little afraid in his heart.
He could feel that Wu Zetian was really angry today! Although I don't know why she was raised high and gently put down, her heart was still fluttering. Even when he left Zichen Pavilion, he still couldn't feel at ease.
Li Xian has been exiled to Luling for many years, and he is no longer the Tang Zhongzong who dared to shout to Wu Zetian that I am the emperor, and I will give my father-in-law a high-ranking official. He knew that Wu Zetian would not do anything to him, but the shadow in his heart could not be dispersed.
It wasn't until he returned to the East Palace that he felt a little relieved.
It's just that his appearance looked in Webster's eyes, but he suddenly knew that something was wrong.
"Prince, why do you look like this, something must have happened?"
"How am I born?"
"Look at you, your face is pale, you look depressed, and the concubine still thinks something happened."
When Li Xian heard this, he waved his hand and smiled: "What can happen?" It's just that the saint got angry in Zichen Pavilion today, and I am a little afraid in my heart. But it's over! I've always been honest in Luoyang, what can I do? ”
After saying that, he suddenly smiled.
This time I laughed, but it was from the heart, although the smile was a little bitter.
"I'm getting more and more timid like this."
"The prince is not timid, but stable and cautious."
Seeing him like this, Webster hurriedly comforted him.
After a while, she couldn't help but wonder again: "Speaking of which, why is the saint angry?" ”
"It seems that a battle report has been lost, so that there was an omission in the reward for meritorious deeds this time. The saint did not know where he got the news, so he asked us why we did not report all the meritorious deeds. But the problem is that even Elder Di Guoguo didn't see the battle report, and it was probably lost on the way to teleportation. That's why there will be omissions. ”
Careless omission?
Webster chuckled in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he even smiled.
"The people down here are really careless...... But what's missing? ”
Li Xian scratched his head, looked at Wei Shi and said, "It's strange to say, the two names that were omitted." It's familiar to me. ”
"Oh?"
"One is called Yang Chenglie and the other is Yang Shouwen, a father and son.
I always feel that I have heard these two names somewhere, but I can't remember them for a while, do you think it's strange? ”
Really!
Webster's heart was pounding, but he made a thoughtful look.
People say that this woman is a natural good actress. However, no matter how good the acting skills are, there must be years and the precipitation of life.
Acting skills like Merriam-Webster. Ordinary people will never be able to do it.
She pondered for a while, shook her head, and said, "The concubine can't remember it, and it doesn't feel familiar. The concubine remembered that the prince had never been to Youzhou, and he had nothing to do with Youzhou, so how could he recognize the little Changping County Lieutenant? ”
When Li Xian heard this, he nodded approvingly.
"What Concubine Ai said is reasonable."
"Moreover, the prince has only returned to the capital of God. He was canonized as the crown prince by a saint.
The more this happens, the more cautious it becomes. It is better not to have anything to do with foreign officials. If not, if he is taken into account by those imperial historians, the saint will inevitably be angry again. When the time comes, the prince will not be afraid. ”
In all dynasties, those who are emperors will hate the contact between the prince and foreign officials.
Li Xian nodded again and again, "What Concubine Ai said is extremely true. I was negligent...... Well, I may have heard those two names mentioned by others, so I have some impressions. However, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I still try not to touch it. ”
"Prince, this is the way to protect oneself."
"That's right. Taiping is going to Shendu today, and I, as a brother, have to go to greet her again, so as not to be said that I don't miss my brother and sister again. It's raining heavily outside, so don't go to Concubine Ai, I'll come back after I send Taiping to the palace. ”
At this time, Li Xian had completely settled down, and the names of Yang Shouwen's father and son were left behind by him.
He got up and left the hall, leaving Webster to let out a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that she had been drenched in sweat at some point......
"Someone!"
"The crown princess commanded."
A handsome little eunuch ran in from outside the main hall, hunched over and walked quickly in front of Webster.
Wei said: "Go and invite the imperial grandson...... Well, let him come to me in the back study, and say that I have something to ask him. ”
"Whoa!"
The little eunuch hurriedly agreed, and was about to turn around and walk out.
Webster suddenly called him again, and asked in a deep voice, "I see that you are very eye-catching, but are you new?" ”
"Back to the crown princess, it has been less than a month since the slave maid entered the East Palace."
"Oh?"
"The slave's name is Gao Lishi, and Gao Yanfu of Sigongtai is the slave's father-in-law.
The slave maid was originally working in the imperial dining room, but after the year of the righteous father's order, she came to the East Palace to serve the prince, so the princess was blind to the slave and maid. ”
"It turned out to be Gao Yanfu's person...... Well, do your job well and go down. ”
"The slave obeys."
Colliers hurriedly retreated, leaving Webster with a bitter smile in the main hall.
This huge East Palace has now become leaky on all sides, and there are no secrets. The eunuchs in the palace were either sent by Wu Zetian, Li Dan, or Princess Taiping, anyway, there are people from all forces. Gao Yanfu, from Wu Sansi's disciple, is in charge of the palace and is responsible for purchasing ingredients in the palace.
Since this Gao Lishi was recommended by Gao Yanfu, he must also be the eyes and ears of Wu Sansi.
Faced with this situation, Merriam-Webster has no choice.
The crown prince Li Xian's foundation in the court is too shallow, and he is not even as good as the prime minister Li Dan. He has been in Luling for more than ten years, almost isolated from the world. When I came back this time, my eyes were black. Coupled with his cowardly temperament, he naturally can't refuse the 'kindness' of others.
It seems that you will have to be more careful in the future!

Soon after Webster returned to the back study, Li Chongrun hurried over.
As soon as he entered the study, he smiled and asked, "Mother, what is the matter with calling the child?" ”
Webster stood up, walked to the door and looked left and right, and then said solemnly, "Still smiling?" That's when it happened. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's just that you took the battle report, and the sage already knows that Yang Chenglie and his son were omitted."
"No, it won't."
Li Chongrun's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Wei Shi in horror, "Mother, what should I do with the child?" ”
"Look at your appearance!" Webster couldn't help but scolded softly, "What are you afraid of?" It's none of our business, you know? In the future, no matter who asks you about it, you should not admit that you have read the battle report and treat it as if you don't know. ”
"That ......"
"But the father and son were really lucky, and we stopped him like this, and it still reached the ears of the saint."
Li Chongrun hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Mother, otherwise we won't do it, and we won't stop ......."
"Hugh your head!" Wei slapped Li Chongrun's head and said softly: "It's all said, this matter has nothing to do with you and me, and it has nothing to do with the prince." If you do it, won't you admit that this matter has something to do with the prince? ”
"What then?"
"What should I do?"
Wei Shi wandered in the study for a moment, stopped and said, "Didn't you say that the father and son had already gone to Xingyang?" Find a way to send someone to spy on them, and you must not let them have another chance to become famous. After King Liang invited a matchmaker to come and confirm the marriage, even if he appeared again, it would not matter the overall situation. Great, let's give him some compensation. ”
Speaking of this, Webster took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "But before that, I don't want to hear the name of his father and son again." (To be continued......)
