Chapter 097: The Second Prince Returns to Beijing

"Simple, commit suicide, blame Liu Li!"

Concubine Shu glanced at the Queen Mother, and then suppressed all the words in her heart.

"Why, you can't be a wicked person? Let me tell you, I don't have the patience to persuade you anymore, why don't I go and intercept the second prince who came from Baihe now?"

"No, no, I can do it!"

Looking at the grief-stricken Concubine Shu, a smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face.

"That's right, I'm good to you. You choose the way to die, this is a great favor, right?"

Concubine Shu nodded, knelt in front of the Queen Mother, grabbed the Queen Mother's sleeve, and begged: "I beg you, can you let me see my son! I want to take a good look at him, and I swear to talk to him, I will not reveal a word, nor will I mention anything bad about you!"

"Finally willing to beg me? In the harem for so many years, you haven't come to me, and you still beg me?"

"It was all my fault before, and you blamed it on me. However, the second prince is innocent, and he has never offended you. For the sake of me and him not provoking you, let us see mother and son for once!

"Then do you want the second prince to have a safe life, or do you want to see each other before you die?"

Concubine Shu was stunned, looked at the Queen Mother in horror, and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing. "Okay, for the sake of you making me so happy today, then forgive me a little! I can let you see the second prince, but you can only watch from afar, not talk closely!"

Concubine Shu nodded like pounded garlic and looked at the Queen Mother happily. "When can I see him?"

"Tomorrow, he will come back tomorrow, and there will probably be a banquet tomorrow night, and then you will take the opportunity to frame Liu Li!"

"Tomorrow night?" Concubine Shu sat on the ground in shock, she couldn't ease down for a long time, she actually wanted it tomorrow

The Queen Mother helped Concubine Shu up and said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, what's wrong? Is there a problem tomorrow night?"

"I'm afraid there will be some chaos tomorrow night, and if you want to ensure that you succeed, then you can't distract me"

"Okay!" the Queen Mother nodded, "Then how about I let you see the second prince before tomorrow night?"

Concubine Shu looked at the Queen Mother in surprise and hurriedly thanked her.

"Tomorrow, I'll be able to see the second prince in the morning. After he explained in the court, I persuaded him a few more words, and the emperor forgave him. Then, and then he will come out of the court, and you will stand on the tower and watch."

Concubine Shu nodded, "Okay!"

"However, I'm afraid you're too excited, so I'll take you there!"

The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully, and thought: Such a good opportunity, of course I have to behave benevolently and kindly, and take the opportunity to win over your son, can I leave a good reputation to the emperor. Hmph, Concubine Shu, you, a dying man, won't know my good intentions

Yuyang Palace, inside and outside, is quiet.

Blinking his eyes and touching his sore shoulder, Yukisawa breathed a long sigh of relief, and a half-awake and half-dreaming feeling gradually took over the blank brain.

"Little pigeon, are you awake?"

The sound was in his ears and a little heart-piercing, and Yukisawa immediately opened his eyes. "You, you, me?"

Liu Li smiled softly, "Don't worry, no one knows!"

Xue Ze was stunned, looked at the handsome son beside the bed, and then looked at the surrounding environment. "This is your place?"

"Well, my place!" Liu Li smiled softly, his gaze moving to Xue Ze's collarbone. "No scars, rest assured!"

Xue Ze was stunned, glanced at himself with a red face, and quickly pulled the quilt over the cover like crazy. "What do you see?"

Liu Li smiled and said nothing, and brought a bowl of decoction and medicine. "I don't know if you're afraid of hardship, this is what I boiled, it's not hard to drink!"

"You boil medicine?" Xue Ze looked at Liu Li blankly, suddenly exclaimed, and asked nervously: "Ah! Did you still give me the medicine? Heal your wounds, this is something you mortals only do, I, I"

"What's the matter, there are no side effects!" Liu Li knew what Xue Ze meant, but he had to pretend not to know, so that she could relax a little.

"Really?" Yukisawa lowered his head and thought to himself: It's okay, he doesn't seem to know!

Tianshan disciples do not need mortal medicine when they are injured, and the wounds will generally heal themselves. Xue Ze was able to accept mortal medicine because of her different talents, and most people attributed it to half of the mortal bloodline.

Xue Ze was worried about this, if Liu Li knew this, wouldn't he know that she was the daughter of Yu Zhangmen? After all, there were also people in Fanchen who were curious about the Kunlun Sect, and there were not a few people who knew its name.

However, Liu Li already knew, so he forced Xue Ze to stay and heal her without any scruples. With the miracle drug, the wound healed faster, and there was no trace of it this morning

Liu Li nodded, handed over the medicine bowl while Xue Ze was in a daze, and couldn't help but smile as he watched her finish drinking it programmatically.

"Pretty good!"

Xue Ze frowned, the bitter taste dissipated in her mouth, but it still couldn't awaken her perception.

Seeing this, Liu Li smiled indifferently, thinking in his heart: You are still that stupid, you don't care about the outside world when you think about things! Drinking bitter medicine, your brows are wrinkled, but you are still addicted to thinking. Don't worry, I'm all for your good!

Xue Ze looked at Liu Li suspiciously, and it took a long time to figure it out. Before he had time to reply, Xue Ze cast a mirror and looked at himself carefully.

"It's okay!" Yukizawa relieved himself, no one should be able to find the problem when he goes back like this.

"Hmm!" Liu Li put the medicine bowl aside, took a plate of pastries and handed it over. "Is it bitter? Do you want to eat hibiscus cake?"

Xue Ze came back to his senses, and he did feel tasteless and mixed in his mouth. "Your medicine is really unpalatable!"

Liu Li smiled lightly, "The more bitter the medicine, the better!"

Xue Ze wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't bear to stimulate Liu Li, so he turned to ask again: "Are you okay?" That arrow seems to be poisonous, is there really someone trying to harm you?"

"It's okay!" Liu Li smiled, "The pain of flesh and skin is far less"

"Ahem!" Xue Ze coughed, interrupting Liu Li's words. "And what happened yesterday?"

"It's good, it's just that I still have to pretend for a few days, and I don't recover as fast as you!" Liu Li said in a joking tone, he didn't want to say anything else, after all, he didn't want Xue Ze to have any unpleasantness.

As for the cold iron arrow, Liu Li already knew the intention, but he could only hope that the second prince Liu Zhong had the same mind as him, so it was better not to have a suspicion.

"Then you have to pay more attention in the future, I don't dare to go down the mountain rashly for a short time. However, there are many crises in the Beihua Palace, and there are not only people in the shadows who have people's hearts, but also inexplicable strange things."

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention!"

"Then you have stayed with me since I came, is it considered a bad job? Or is it that you have delayed a lot of things? Won't the Queen Mother be angry?"

Liu Li shook his head and replied gently, "It's okay, you don't have to worry. Externally, I was a patient and no one said anything. In order to comply with my mother's wishes, I set up a banquet to catch the wind for my second brother, which is a slight gesture!"

"Feast?"

"Well, is there a problem with the feast of catching the wind and washing the dust?"

Yukizawa shook his head, "No, I'm just asking." Since the second prince has returned to Beijing, then you should go and get busy! It seems that it is almost early, you don't have to drag your tired body to deal with it."

Liu Li looked at Xue Ze and knew that she was leaving, so he didn't say anything more. "Okay, you have to take care too!"

In the early morning, the air is cool and thin, with the smell of early autumn.

The court of Beihua is still so magnificent and solemn, with red bricks and green tiles, and pillars.

The air was filled with moisture, and the morning mist soaked the hall with a thin mist of stone, steps, pillars, eaves, and tiles, waiting for the first rays of sunlight to evaporate them.

How many autumns have passed, how many summers have passed, day and night are often confused, tea and rice are often missed, and Concubine Shu finally boiled it out, and it has been twenty years since she walked out of the deep palace for the first time, and walked to the city tower for the first time.

Every step you take requires you to think about it, your pace is heavy, but your mood is light. Death didn't have a big impact on her son when she saw her, she was full of only thinking about seeing her son, and she was not afraid of tonight's scene at all.

Concubine Shu knew that she was going to die, and she knew that she had to do it. The opponent was too strong, and she didn't even have the chance or possibility to fight hard. The hope was so slim that she gave up, she just wanted her son to live well.

Standing on the city tower, after waiting for a long time, Concubine Shu finally waited for the officials to go down to court. Before long, the Queen Mother came in a hurry, and she left ahead of schedule, because she was worried that Concubine Shu would not be able to recognize who the second prince was.

Concubine Shu looked at the crowd and sighed softly: "There are so many people!"

The Queen Mother smiled, pointed to a young man, and said to Concubine Shu: "Your son is really getting better and better, although he is wearing civilian clothes, he is also a talent, and he still holds the sword given to him by the emperor in his hand!"

Concubine Shu nodded, and finally found her son.

There were two men dressed in civilian clothes, one with a knife and the other with a sword.

The man with the sword in his hand, in his early twenties, was handsome and generous, tall and tall, and looked very much like the emperor. This is the son of Concubine Shu, the second prince of the Bei'an royal family.

If the Queen Mother hadn't arrived in time, maybe Concubine Shu hadn't recognized it at a glance, and those people had already left the field of vision quickly. It's just that when you see it in such a hurry, your eyes can fall on people for a minute, but it is already a glance of anticipation and satisfaction for thousands of years.

"My emperor is really handsome and chic, down-to-earth and generous, very similar to his father!"

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Shu with a smile, "Of the three princes, which one is not like the first emperor?"

"The second prince is kind and kind-eyed, and he will not compete with the eldest prince, nor will he hinder the bright future of the queen mother. I hope the Queen Mother can fulfill her promise, spare his life, and let him spend the rest of his life in peace!"

"That's natural, as long as you keep your promise, isn't it up to you to decide the outcome of these two princes?"

In the early morning, the wind and clouds changed, and a strong discomfort diffused in the hearts of everyone, which was difficult to eliminate for a while, and it has not been destroyed.

The second prince Liu Zhong hurriedly returned to Beijing, and he was more and more not like he came back, his eyebrows were full of spirit and arrogance, and his words were full of confidence and indignation.

Although the Queen Mother is clearly speaking for Liu Li and interceding for Liu Zhong, she is the biggest player who stirs up the court situation and separates the brotherhood. After a few conversations, Liu Zhong seemed to be even more displeased, but he was much more low-key.

From an outsider's point of view, it seems that the Queen Mother's mother and son are frustrating Liu Zhong's spirit, and no one understands how much Liu Li cherishes Liu Zhong's brotherhood. Of course, Liu Zhong himself will not understand, after all, it was the Queen Mother who helped him return to Beijing this way.

Retreating from the court, Gao Hai brought Gonggong Liu over.

"Gonggong Liu, what are you looking for me?"

Gonggong Liu came over eagerly and took Liu Li's hand. "Since the Wangfu case, I haven't been with you anymore, this person is sophisticated, the government and the rivers and lakes, can you handle it well?"

"This is natural, although Grandpa Liu is good at life and recuperation!"

Gonggong Liu shook his head and sighed sadly. "Last night I dreamed that something big happened in the palace, your majesty, you have to be cautious and don't fall into the trap. I don't think the second prince and Concubine Shu are good, so tonight's banquet has been canceled!"

Gao Hai also agreed, "My subordinates seconded the proposal, otherwise the emperor wouldn't go!"

"How can this be? This banquet was originally prepared by me, and it was also presided over by me, why can't I go? I have no important business, how can I shirk it? If I don't go, I'm afraid that the second brother thinks that I care about the cold iron arrow very much, so he pretends to be sick, this is not what I want to see! Besides, I can see the second brother and Concubine Shu reunited tonight, and such a happy event is still worth seeing!"

"I understand the emperor's intentions, but others may think like this! The second prince doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about you, but the queen mother is very close, and I'm worried that there will be something wrong in it. Think about it for yourself!"

Liu Li nodded and replied gently: "Thank you Gonggong Liu for your kindness, you still have a good life and recuperate." I'm not used to it without you, so you have to come back quickly!"

"I'm getting old and I can't do a lot of things. However, you have to listen to persuasion!"

"This is nature, I will definitely handle things well, and I will always be cautious!"

Gonggong Liu nodded with satisfaction, still a little worried in his heart: Queen Mother, don't design the emperor for the sake of being so filial and benevolent!
