Chapter 19: Licking the Calf

The Li family's house in the capital only had three courtyards, and there were only three or two servants left, Li Chengping retreated from the maid who stepped forward, and carried Li Qi into the study quickly.

Sure enough, the back of Emperor Yongde who seemed to be tall and lonely pine stood in the room waiting, and he was dressed in an ordinary dark gray landscape ink and ink that looked heroic, and he was quite majestic just standing in the room.

"Where is this again?" Emperor Yongde found that Li Qi still had a grease stain hanging from his mouth, and Li Qi, who was discovered, hurriedly wiped off a mouthful of oil with his sleeve.

Emperor Yongde: "......"

Now the desire to hug my little son is gone.

"On the way, I ate another roast chicken from Haiyan Hall." Li Cheng smiled helplessly, and prayed for Li to be able to go up to the sky.

"Yes! Only when he is hungry does he not make trouble. "Emperor Yongde really has nothing wrong with Li Qi, especially if he can eat it, it is a problem in the womb.

Li Cheng looked at the sadness in his father's eyes and comforted: "Father, don't worry, the medicinal bath has never fallen." ”

Li Qi was drugged since the womb, and Fang Shi said that this medicine combines Gu poison and chronic poison called "Yuansheng", and the beautiful name implies its tragic end.

This poison is colorless and tasteless, and it only needs to fall into the meal for a moment to be hydrolyzed, and the silver needle cannot be detected when the food is tested, and the poison only begins to attack when the woman is pregnant.

This shows that the mother has been secretly attacked since she was pregnant.

The Gu poison makes the Li Qi in the womb continue to grow and eat away at the mother's vitality, until the fetus is too large to give birth, and the chronic poison attacks at this time.

Even if the mother is lucky enough to give birth, the mother will die of blood loss due to the inability of the uterus to recover, and her son will be weak and inexplicable for a lifetime.

This extremely vicious medicine is the forbidden technique of the Southern Chu Barbarian Frontier, and Emperor Yongde has secretly visited for more than ten years but has not been able to know where it came from and how to solve it.

The vicious fight in the palace did not end because of the loss of the queen and the defeat of the prince, after all, the two brothers gave up their identity as concubines, and they did not let the vicious fight stop.

And unable to find a solution to this forbidden technique, Emperor Yongde could only follow Taizu's instructions with a heartache and let the two children return to the Li family and stay away from the palace ban.

At this point, his harem no longer accepts newcomers, and he also gave up the real names of his two children, changed the ancestral training characters, and named the children after Li Qi from the Li character.

This also makes the two children, regardless of whether the name is on the royal jade or not, they are really the sons of Emperor Yongde.

"I'm sorry for both of you." Emperor Yongde stretched out his hand to touch Li Cheng, but when he saw that he gave his hand and dodged it accurately, he had to withdraw.

Nearly forty years old let him envy? Yes! These two children who gather less and leave more, if Empress Li has a spiritual determination, he will also blame, as the highest imperial power, he cannot take good care of the children.

"My son is not hard, and he is much more free outside the palace." Li Cheng replied respectfully.

"Yes! I also like my dad outside the palace. Li Qiwo went to Emperor Yongde's side and hugged him unceremoniously.

This is the former residence of the mother, Emperor Yongde said that here, they have no monarchs and ministers, only father and son.

The first prince's heirs are scarce, only two princes and three princesses, the successor of the former Empress Dowager Li as a concubine, for the calm and stable growth of Emperor Yongde, when he becomes an adult, he does not seek to divide the feudal but to build a mansion and live in an idle prince.

Emperor Yongde and Empress Li are young husband and wife, and they are also married to each other. Unexpectedly, the prince fell off his horse and was injured in the spring hunt, and he didn't know how many imperial doctors could not survive after cutting off their heads, so the successor candidate fell to Emperor Yongde.

The first emperor and the first queen, who were more than half a hundred years old, were saddened by the death of the crown prince, and died of heart disease within three months, winning the reputation of flounder.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only one prince, it would definitely be another bloody battle for the throne, this throne came too suddenly, and Emperor Yongde and Concubine Shu were also caught off guard, so it can be said that they took the throne hard.

And Li Cheng spent most of his childhood in this house, watching his parents love Qin Se and Ming, how could he enter the palace, and the ministers began to fill the harem on the grounds of extending the imperial heir, although Emperor Yongde guarded the position of the queen for his mother, but he also became the target of public criticism.

The outflow of a pure minister is already a matter of green smoke from the ancestral tomb, and after a pure minister, how can this make the ministers swallow? Shouldn't it be the previous dynasty to balance the harem constraints?

If you don't fill the harem with three thousand beauties, there will be dozens, not to mention that the new emperor does not have any concubines when he ascends the throne, only one queen, how can he not make some people with a heart ready to move?

The Li family discipline is pure and good, and he doesn't like the court to fight with the harem, not to mention that he has no intention of taking the throne, so he asked Emperor Yongde to marry the daughter of the Li family of the side branch to show his loyalty.

Li Cheng, who witnessed the tragic condition of his mother, knew that if he wanted to find out the cause of death, only by hiding his edge and living like a prodigal child could he unload the hearts of those people.

Emperor Yongde took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, and after opening it, the bamboo fragrance overflowed in the study, with a malicious smile on his lips, and his eyes asked if he wanted to drink.

Li Cheng: "......" This is to tempt him with what he gave him and then tempt him?

So, Li Cheng opened the double-open cabinet door on the upper floor of the Bogu shelf, and the eight white porcelain bottles on both sides were blinded.

Emperor Yongde: "......"

Li Qi: "......"

As for such tsundere?

All right! The wine came from the third brother's knees.

The third brother and his father are not on the same page, he gradually has eyebrows when he is seven years old, and the older the third brother is, the more cold he is to his father, not only to save his life, but also to not want to get too close to his father from the bottom of his heart.

My grandfather said, "The third brother complained that my father didn't take good care of my mother. ”

After listening to what the third brother secretly told him next to the window before entering the palace, Li Qi finally understood that his grandfather's family had been working for him for more than ten years, all in order to find an antidote for him.

Although he still can't see what the third brother is planning, he only knows that the third brother and his grandfather are trying their best to save his life, and even the two uncles are looking for prescriptions and medicines, hoping that he can get rid of the poison of fate as soon as possible.

But in this way, it seems that fate is not bad! It's just that someone poisons him for food, and when he returns home and vomits and pulls, he can know which side of the food can't be touched!

The new poison can't affect it, and it can clearly refuse the table, how good is that!

"The third brother wants to drink with his father?" Li Qi pretended not to understand, and hurriedly put three chairs and porcelain cups, there was not much time for the family to get together, and he didn't want to waste it on tsundere.

Emperor Yongde was satisfied with Li Qi's expression, sat down on the small pestle, and raised his eyebrows to Li Chengyang to demonstrate.

Li Cheng struggled inwardly for a long time before sitting down, comforting himself that he couldn't refuse Li Qi.

"Father said this is the taste of motherhood?" Li Qi only has the painting of Xiaoxiang bamboo forest Fuqin for his mother, and the rest is mostly paraphrased and imagined out of thin air.

"Yes!" Emperor Yongde drank the contents of the cup. "The Xiaoxiang bamboo forest in the west of the city is the Zhuangzi of your mother's marriage, she said that the bamboo tube wine is the most nourishing, and it always takes a lot of effort to go to the bamboo forest to cultivate wine, and from time to time it will be sent to your grandmother and grandfather, and I can only drink the pot side wine."

Only in front of the two children can he call himself me, the word I am the beginning of the loss of Li, he is not happy at all, what is the use of losing the love of the world?

"How does this wine taste compared to my mother's?" Li Qi thought about looking for her mother's shadow in the wine.

Emperor Yongde stroked Li Qi, who was lying on the edge of the table. "Silly boy! Your mother's wine is drunk with longing, this depression is drunk with nostalgia, and you and your brother are drunk with longing. ”

I can't watch my brothers grow up, I just hope that the news they send is safe.

Emperor Yongde's words, Li Cheng's heart shook, and his mouth was still sharp. "It seems that my mother has drunk a lot of soup."

Emperor Yongde raised the corners of his mouth. "It's your mother who feeds me, and most of the soup is lost."

Empress Li's smile is still vividly remembered, not to mention that the bright stars between the eyebrows and eyes of the two children are similar to Empress Li.

Li Chengsi and his mother also put on a warm smile. "Yes! Mothers most often say that children should grow up in praise in order not to be afraid of adversity. ”

"That third brother still scolds me to death! And they don't praise me much. Li Qi quickly added.

"Don't you want me to scold? Or do I let the courtiers scold? Why don't you tell me what happened after I boasted last time? ”

Li Qi was stunned. "It's better for the third brother to scold! If you want to send me to Tingwei again, you may not be able to get out. ”

The last time he entered the court, it was all because Li Cheng praised him and said, "Keju has made progress!" It was Li Qi, who was overjoyed, that he kicked Lao Yuan again, smashed into the temple accurately, destroyed one hundred and eight immortal lamps, and almost burned the treasures of the temple and the emperors.

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows and sneered. "You were prescient."

How many court lieutenants really dare to whip the emperor and the prince? Li Qi was really whipped more than a dozen times, if it weren't for the fast delivery of the news from the little father-in-law, maybe Li Qi would be gone.

Father's four concubines are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they can't find any clues to their mother's tricks, this is the terrible place, now my father has four princes and six princesses in addition to their brothers, and it just so happens that each of the four concubines is a prince, can the four concubines have some means? He didn't believe it anymore.

"Your third brother's words should be taken to heart, don't keep making trouble, your third brother has been made like a bad old man by you." Emperor Yongde was helpless and powerless to Li Cheng's cold face, and he also missed the child with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, and the years always inadvertently changed all this.

The three of them laughed and played in this small courtyard, chanting the wind and playing with the moon, and they couldn't go back to the days of painting and calligraphy together.

"Father! The third brother has a bad old man's face, but Xiao you! No wonder the third brother. Li Qi took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and the mirror reflected Emperor Yongde, who had a beard, and a fire seemed to gradually ignite in his resolute eyes.

"There's really not a day that you don't owe a pump." Li Cheng did inherit his father's eight-point appearance, but it was not the appearance he liked, he would rather be like Li Qi, with his mother's eyebrows and eyes.

"What's wrong with me being honest?" Li Qi was still holding a mirror and didn't know why.

"It's okay! Hui Xieyang continued to be buried. Li Cheng unceremoniously announced the punishment.

Make it clear which pot is not opened, and he still needs to be polite? Could it be that he didn't know that Li Qi was thinking about reconciling the conflict between him and his father?

Thinking of this, he and his father couldn't hide their tacit understanding and smiled.

Li Qi is big after all! It's not just a child who can prevaricate for any reason.
