"You don't know that your father-in-law is the queen's mother, right?" Li Yushen said mysteriously.

Most of the generals' families have a close relationship with the clan, but the Su family is not close to it, and he found out that it may be the family that Empress Wu has already supported.

"What did you say?!"

Su Xiaozhou's blood was churning, but he didn't dare to raise his voice, he lowered his voice and asked eagerly: "Where do you see that my father is the back party?" ”

Looking at her angry appearance, Li Yu blinked, "You agreed-"

"Agree with the ghost!"

Su Xiaozhou glared at him fiercely, "My family has been Jin Wuwei for generations, my father is the imperial court to supervise Jingzhou, and my eldest brother is leading the troops in the forbidden army, I ...... It's the deputy head of the East Palace again, and the Su family is only loyal to the Li Tang royal family! ”

His Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse, and there are endless rumors about the way the queen has ruled the country. In recent years, the relatives of the Wu family have ascended to the throne, and there are many vassals inside and outside the government and the opposition, but for some families, the established position must not be swayed at will.

……

For a long time, the things that she believed in were questioned, and her reaction was all expected by Li Yu.

But he didn't seem to intend to go over, so he leaned into Su Xiaozhou's ear and muttered, "Think about it carefully." When his father-in-law was young, he abandoned martial arts and literature, and the starting point of his career was to enter the Zhou Palace. In the third year of entering the palace, he became the Sima of the palace and began to take charge of the affairs of the palace. At that time, the prince was still young, and his daily life, reading and writing, and handing over guests...... All matters are personally taken care of by the queen mother. He is in charge of the affairs around him, and naturally he is also personally selected by his mother. Later, your father rose to prominence and became the governor of Jingzhou, and became a local important member of Congsanpin. This kind of leap, even if you are hostage in the palace, if there is no full support from the queen, how can it be easily won by ordinary civil officials! ”

His words are so well-founded that it is impossible to refute them.

Su Xiaozhou was stunned for a moment.

In the past ten years, she has seen her father only a handful of times, and she has hardly ever had a serious conversation, let alone exchanged political views. Today, after being analyzed by outsiders a little bit, she found that the things she took for granted in her heart didn't seem to be the same thing.

Li Yu stretched out his hand and pushed her, "How is it?" As long as you nod your head, my 'vote' will be completed, and your errand will be completed." ”

As long as she is engaged to Miss Su San, Empress Wu will definitely trust him, and she will show her true intentions. If the matter is related to Li Jingye's brothers, he doesn't mind continuing to be the rebel son of the family.

"Of course not!"

Su Xiaozhou didn't think about it, and refused.

Li Yu didn't know the honesty between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her, so he naturally felt that this matter was harmless to her. But he is a person who is concerned by the East Palace, and his every move cannot be hidden from His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes, and if "Su Wanqing" wants to get engaged to him, it is tantamount to telling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he has two hearts and is planning to leave the East Palace.

However, it is impossible for a person with a secret to leave alive......

"It's not a way for you to let that Xue Yi stare at me all day long...... If I continue to mix it up, I'm going to open a singing and dancing club and a brothel in the Qinglou......" Li Yu said aggrievedly.

He actually ...... Know everything!

Su Xiaozhou was a little weak-hearted, and pretended to be calm: "I don't know what to do, I'm not happy to send someone to serve you, I'll let him go to Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate tomorrow." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was an internal guard in the East Palace beside him, he knew that nothing big would happen, and as a newcomer, he wouldn't dare to casually take someone to fight with the largest gambling house in the capital.

"In that case, there's no way around it."

Li Yu spread his hands, and suddenly said as a scoundrel: "Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that Thorn has failed his love and is ready to flee back to Mobei in the near future." ”

"You-"

Su Xiaozhou was so angry with him that there were often deserters in the army, but there were no generals who escaped from the capital.

It was himself who led him into the city, and the guarantor of the resurrection and Tunu registration identity card was Xue Yi, if they escaped, the military department would pursue them, and he and the East Palace would be in trouble.

This guy is really good at threatening people, and he grabbed her soft underbelly at once.

"Ruffian!" She gritted her teeth in anger.

Li Yu smiled good-naturedly, "It's easy to say, Madame can scold as much as she likes." ”

……

Straightening out his breath, Su Xiaozhou glared at him and said, "Okay, I promise you." But this matter cannot be publicized, and when the military department has an echo, it will immediately find a reason to dissolve the marriage. His Royal Highness the Prince, I have my own saying, you can't mention a word! Also, cockfighting rings, gambling houses, wine shops, ......, so far, no further is allowed. ”

"Okay, that's a deal—"

Li Yu raised his fist in front of her.

Su Xiaozhou clenched his fists reluctantly and touched him.

*******

The next day, Xue Yi's biography arrived on time.

After receiving the letter in the gatehouse, Su Xiaozhou immediately hid in the room and opened it tremblingly.

Sure enough, it read: On the fifth day of the eighth month, Li Yu took more than 20 people to the Dongshi wine shop to meet the daughter of Governor Shi, the details are unknown. In the afternoon, I saw the media in charge of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and asked me to discuss with the Su family on my behalf. That night: Painting boat tour of the lake, accompanied by twelve singing and dancing music girls.

Idiot! Knowing that Xue Yi is stalking, he doesn't hide it......

Bastard! The front foot is pro-family, and the back foot goes to the lake with the fireworks woman!

Quickly tearing the note apart, she let out a deep sigh.

I must find an opportunity to tell His Highness: In this matter, the Su family is passive, and she is also forced to do so. I believe he should be understandable.

"Squeak-" The door was suddenly pushed open.

This time, she was really shocked.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too silent, and she doesn't even notice it.

"Your Highness—"

Pieces of paper were scattered all over the ground, and she hurriedly stood up, "Scattered?" ”

Sure enough, there is something in my heart that cannot be hidden......

"Ahem-a-a-"

Li Hong coughed violently, and his face was slightly red.

"Your Highness, sit down."

Helping him sit down on the low couch, Su Xiaozhou was worried for a while, and hurriedly poured water.

His Royal Highness the Prince's illness has worsened again, and in previous years, it has always been the heaviest in autumn and winter, but now it is still summer, and he even coughs during the day. I'm afraid that by this winter, the situation will be even worse.

"Ahem——, this palace didn't go to the court today."

"Yes, it's been dry lately, and Your Highness shouldn't work hard."

He handed the water to Li Hong and watched him take a few sips. The cough slowed down, and one of her hearts slowly let go.

"I heard that the British Mansion and the Su family are discussing marriage for your sister and Thorn?" Li Hong asked slowly.

"Ahh

Su Xiaozhou's legs suddenly went limp.

Sure enough, I couldn't hide it, but I didn't expect His Highness to know so soon.

"Your Highness—"

She knelt down in front of him suddenly, "The family is all working hard, all for the minister." Be magnanimous, and punish only one man. ”

"Now it's just you and me, what are you kneeling for?"

Pulling her up and sitting beside her, Li Hong leaned on her shoulder and said softly: "This palace and Thorn Yan have known each other since childhood. In his company, I had a very happy time. It's a pity that because of a small accident, the queen mother insisted on asking the old prince to send him back to Mobei. I thought I would never see him again in my life, but I didn't expect him to come back. ”

His voice was very slow, as if he was reminiscing about the time that had passed a long time ago, and he was full of thoughts that Su Xiaozhou had never seen before.

Li Yu is really a very important person to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It seems that what Wang Zhao said is true, he really made a big mistake and will be exiled for ten years.

Let the person who once endangered her son come back, what Empress Wu planned must not be simple......

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough—"

After coughing violently, Li Hong said intermittently: "This body of this palace will probably not last long." I used to selfishly think that I should always ...... Keep you by your side all the time. But if that person is Li Yu, I hope ...... In the future, he can take care of you and take you to see the wide sky and the earth that we often imagine. ”

It is really ominous for the prince of a country to suddenly say such things.

Su Xiaozhou grabbed his cold hand, "Your Highness, don't say that. Your Majesty has left the Medicine King in Chang'an, your illness must be ...... There will be a way to heal. ”

In the spring of this year, after Dr. Sun treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he begged him to return to his hometown. His Majesty did not approve it, and gave him the mansion of the late Princess Poyang to live in.

Although it is to keep people, in fact, leave a peace of mind......

Li Hong sighed lightly, "The body is skinned, and the parents are affected." If the mother needs it, the son will die and die. If she can relieve her worries with her own strength, at least she will fulfill her filial piety. ”

Hearing this kind of words for the first time, Su Xiaozhou was stunned.

The prince is full of poetry and books, benevolent and filial piety, and the queen is well-versed in literature and history, and tough and authoritarian. Your Majesty is very fast, the crown prince has been in charge of the country seven times, and the monarchy he and his mother hold is naturally one and the other. However, over the years, no matter how much the outside world speculated, the mother and son have been in harmony. Suddenly hearing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this, she couldn't help but be shocked as a bystander.

"Your Highness, out of ...... Is something wrong? ”

She knew she shouldn't have asked, but she asked anyway.

"Yesterday, my father summoned me and announced that he would posthumously honor the sixth and fifth generations of ancestors and concubines as emperors and empresses on August 15, and increase the titles of ancestors, Taizong and empresses. In order to avoid his ancestors, he and his mother were renamed Emperor and Queen of Heaven respectively. The name of the year was changed to Shangyuan, and amnesty was granted to the world. ”

Li Hong spoke word by word, without any emotion, but Su Xiaozhou heard the subtlety.

The queen of heaven, the destiny of heaven, has no ancients.

The same is true of the Empress......

The name of the year, the title, change it when you say it. From then on, the authority of the queen was going further.

The Li Tang Dynasty knows best - power can make close relatives kill each other. Emperor Taizong won the country, his brothers turned against each other, and his blood flowed like a river. Now, the two saints have been in the dynasty for a long time, and if His Majesty is not there one day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to save his life.

"Your Highness, don't think too much. Only by taking care of the body can we consolidate the national foundation. She could only persuade with such a high-sounding sound.

Li Hong shook his head, and a few cold tears fell silently, "Xiaozhou, if I am destined to be unable to escape." Hope he can take you...... Get out of this cage ......"

"Your Highness......"

Su Xiaozhou caught a glimmer of information in his sadness.

Li Yu turned out to be her only chance to leave the East Palace......
