The three of us walked to the front yard with solemn faces, and the father-in-law beside Li Shimin ran over with a smile, and said in a sweet and greasy voice: "Alas, madam, let the miscellaneous family be easy to find, the palace gate reported to His Majesty that Madame had turned several times in front of the palace gate but did not enter the palace, and His Majesty was busy calling the miscellaneous family to invite Madame to come into the palace to talk." You are really, all these years, not all the people in the palace and outside the palace are your own people, why do you suddenly see outsiders? The car is waiting, ma'am, please. ”
I patted Liniang's hand gently, and silently sat in the carriage sent by Li Shimin with the father-in-law, he already knew that I was back, and knew that I had turned around a few times in front of the palace gate, I was really omnipotent. Then he must have known why I was going, and why he turned back to Li Shimin halfway to wait for me on the high platform, I went up silently and accompanied him to look at the Zhaoling in the distance.
"I rushed back thousands of miles away, but I ran back when I arrived at the gate of the palace, what do you want to do?"
"I rushed back because I was worried about Li Niang, and I entered the palace for Li Niang, I can't let her feel that because the concubine is the stepmother, I don't care about her, but I turn back for Your Majesty."
"I'm really flattered." He sneered, and I let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty knows that General Helan's father and son are innocent, but he still dealt with it, but he has already given it to Helan's family, the concubine and Liniang face, the concubine is grateful, and has discussed it with her son-in-law and Liniang, and is ready to return to her hometown."
"Are you scolding me, knowing that they are innocent, and you want me to rehabilitate them?"
"No, Your Majesty knows that the concubine doesn't want to take care of these things, Yue Shi is just a small palace general, with mediocre qualifications, to be honest, if my family Liniang is a man, I am afraid that he will be a hundred times stronger, and it is for his good to go into hiding, otherwise how many people will have to be killed in the future." The old general is a person, His Majesty knows better than the concubine, and the concubine knows that His Majesty will not be angry with him, but the general's authority is sensitive, and the old man is old, so it is also a good opportunity to go into hiding at this time. His Majesty is obviously angry, but in fact, it is a strategy to protect, and the concubine is really grateful. ”
"You still want to force me to let go of the Helan family." He looked at me coldly for a while, "Mei Niang also begged me, otherwise Yue Shi would already be with his father." ”
I looked at Li Shimin in a daze, and only then did I come back to my senses, "Could it be that Yue Shi is really involved in the case?" ”
"The general is tired of being a general, and he wants to join Hou Junji's menzi to enter the military department, and he tells people everywhere that he is the son-in-law of Ying Guogong, and says that Madam, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and Hou Junji just uses it."
I sat on the ground, and it took me a while to understand, knelt silently, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin: "Concubine Wu Yang has the grace of the saint, please forgive your majesty." ”
"Helan should go home, don't kneel, I am sadder than you to have such a son-in-law, it is my marriage, Liniang is really wronged." He pulled me up and let out a long sigh.
"I'm going to make a pheasant slave the crown prince." There was no lack of helplessness in his tone, "Have you ever seen Wu Wang Li Ke?" ”
"Your Majesty!" I wiped away my tears and stopped him from talking, and he glared at me. I let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty's preference would be a disaster for others." I gently repeated what he told me back then, and he looked at me, and I had no choice but to say, "Because the concubine's personal relationship with His Majesty made Yue Shi think that it could be used as political capital, it became a disaster for the Helan family." At this time, if His Majesty shows his preference for His Royal Highness King Wu, I am afraid that it will be a curse or a blessing to King Wu. ”
"Are you resentful?"
"Your Majesty, it's the concubine who thinks wrong, the concubine thinks that she can just take care of herself, but she never thought that Yue Shi, who has always been reassuring, would do such a stupid thing, which shows that the person is big and the heart is big. What's more, Yue Shi is afraid that there are also some people with ulterior motives who will instigate him, and the concubine will ask His Majesty for permission, and when this matter is over, the concubine will return to Wenshui to settle down. ”
"I know, Madame has educated the children really well, I have never seen Mei Niang cry, that day she saw the will, tearfully knelt in front of me and kept bowing, her head was red, and she didn't say anything. is such a tough child, and he still has a heart of preservation in the face of his sister who knows that he is not his own. This is all the work of Madame's teaching, but those brutes of mine? Alas! ”
It turned out that it was not Mei Niang's plea that made Li Shimin let Helan Yueshi go, but her love for her sister. Li Shimin understands very well in his heart, Mei Niang knows that she has nothing to do with Li Niang, but because she grew up together, she still pleaded, but the contrast is in stark contrast to the three born to the queen, I don't know why Mei Niang did this, saying that it was for sisterhood, I don't believe it so much. But after this incident, Mei Niang's image in Li Shimin's mind should be very different, and I was slightly relieved.
Back in Helan Mansion, General Helan had indeed returned, and in the hall, Yue Shi was lying on the ground, his buttocks were full of blood, and Li Niang stood aside coldly.
"What's going on?" I guess the old man already knows what Yue Shi is doing, and he is practicing the family law.
"In-laws, don't worry about it, this kid should have taught him a lesson a long time ago." General Helan saw that the military stick that had been put down was about to be lifted again, and I waved my hand.
"Forget it, I'm afraid that it was instigated by the villain around Yue Shi, don't be angry, Your Majesty will open the net, let's think about the future! The old body has resigned to His Majesty and will move back to his hometown in Wenshui to settle down, saving those little people from worrying. ”
"Mother, I'll go back with you." Li Niang didn't want to look at her husband lying on the ground like a dead dog.
"Mother-in-law...... "That kid is angry, and I don't feel heartache at all, but I still have to show face."
"Uncle, do you know why the old generals are all in prison, and you can beat your wife at home to get angry?" I smiled coldly, "Mei Niang begged, she knelt in front of His Majesty and knocked her head swollen to save your little life, don't blame your father for beating you, it was for Your Majesty to see, do you think Your Majesty can let you go out of Chang'an City?" ”
"In-laws, it's really ...... It's really ......" General Helan was about to go crazy, I smiled and shook my head.
"My father-in-law, Liniang, if you don't give up, it's better to go back to Wenshui with the old body to settle down. The martial arts family is not talented, there are still a few acres of thin fields in Wenshui, and it is not a problem to support the family, and Minzhi and Huizhi also happen to study with my mother's brother. ”
"Tian, we have it too, right?" General Helan originally said it loudly, but he was not sure that he looked at Li Niang, who nodded.
"My father-in-law has a meritorious field, and my daughter-in-law thought that Uncle Xiang of her mother's family would take care of it, so she changed the field to near Wenshui, if my father-in-law wants to find a place to recuperate, there is a Zhuangzi in the countryside, not far from my mother's house."
"Okay, good, how can you go back to your hometown after such an end, it's good to go to Wenshui." The old man understands very well, if he wants to say it badly, he has always been in charge of his daughter-in-law's family affairs, and his son is not angry, and he has no face when he returns to his hometown, so it is better to find a place to hide. The matter was settled, and everyone didn't have the heart to care about lying on the ground and crossing the stones, and then later, the housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, so he invited the doctor to come, and it was over.
By the time Helan's family cleaned up and sent things to Wenshui in batches, the weather had already turned cold, and it seemed that he would not be able to accompany Shitong for the holiday this year.
