Just after Li Longji revealed his intention to return to Chang'an, Princess Xianyi and his concubine Yang Hui entered the palace to see Concubine Wu Hui.

Yang Xun, the concubine, painted a voice and told Concubine Wu Hui that the crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao and the king of light Li Ju had gathered outside the palace, and the conversation was full of contempt and insults to Concubine Wu Hui and King Shou.

Princess Xianyi said: "Ah Niang, Aya has been dissatisfied with the prince before, if it weren't for Zhang Xianggong and Pei Xianggong, and Ah Weng to suppress it, I'm afraid that at that time, the prince should be deposed." It will not be delayed until now, so that the prince can see that Aya is dissatisfied but does not move him, so he thinks that with the protection of the courtiers, the prince's position is worry-free, and now he is not hiding it, and he can say these words in the wine shop in Nanshi, which is too much! ”

"Which liquor store in Nanshi, do they often go?" Concubine Wu Hui was not shocked or angry, and asked with a light smile.

The concubine Yang Wei said: "Back to my mother-in-law, it is Chunxiangfang." One of the peculiarities of this winery is that unlike other wineries, the wine is not green, but much clearer and more spicy, and they will go there whenever they have time. ”

Concubine Wu Hui nodded: "I heard that General Xiao also bought a mansion in the Eastern Capital?" ”

Princess Xianyi and the concubine Yang Wei glanced at each other and said, "Exactly." Ah Weng once said that he always let his wife's room leave Chang'an to disturb Aunt Yuzhen, and he couldn't go away, so he simply bought a three-entry courtyard in Shangshanfang, the eastern capital, and Aya also sent a general as a supervisor to repair it. ”

"Xianyi, you will send someone to the vicinity of General Xiao's mansion from tomorrow, just say how rare the Chunxiangfang wine is, but you haven't drunk it when you come to Dongdu, what a pity, you don't have to do anything else. The people you sent to spy on the prince opened their eyes wide, and as soon as they found out that they were going to Chunxiangfang again, they would find a way to let Chunxiangfang sell wine at half price on that day. ”

Before Yang Hui could think clearly, Princess Xianyi had already understood: "Then the news that the wine will only be sold at half price on that day, my daughter will send someone to Ah Weng's mansion as soon as possible." It's just that this is not enough, it is better to wrap up the room next door when the prince gathers for a drink, and invite the lady of the Ah Weng family to come in and wait, so that it will be a matter of course. ”

Yang Wei worried: "But...... Isn't my father-in-law already planning to go back to Chang'an, will it be too late? ”

Concubine Wu Hui leisurely lifted her hair in her bun: "Even if you can really go back, you will have to wait for a while." You don't have to worry about that, just listen to me. ”

"Then we'll do it." After Princess Xianyi finished speaking, she took her horse Yang Hui to say goodbye to Concubine Wu Hui.

When Princess Xianyi and his wife left, Concubine Wu Hui sighed and said, "Come out." ”

Two people walked out of the inner room, one tall and one short, it was King Shou and Yang Yuhuan as husband and wife. King Shou is okay, he has been mentally prepared for this a long time, so he is not surprised, he looks indifferent, Yang Yuhuan is not like this. She had just learned about these things, and it was the first time she had been exposed to power struggles. She had never seen her mother-in-law, who had always been gentle and amiable, have such a completely different face.

Composed, calm, beautiful, open. Only then did she remember that her mother-in-law was originally surnamed Wu.

"Eighteen Lang, you always feel that you are restless for your mother, you are longing for something that does not belong to you, when you were young, you did have a little bit of this, so I never argued with you. But after listening to the prince's remarks today, you should always know that being a mother is not only like that, right? Could it be that if you don't fight for your mother, you can change the prince's and kings' views on being a mother, and you can be tolerated by the prince? It's just that after the new monarch ascended the throne, if the mother is still alive, it will be more uncomfortable than death. Fighting for my mother is not only my own wishes, but also your and my lives. You were born in the royal family, as long as you step into this whirlpool, if you don't fight, you will die. ”

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was close to King Shou's arm, and his hands were still grasping King Shou's sleeves, Concubine Wu Hui smiled softly and stretched out her hand to Yang Yuhuan: "Come here." ”

King Shou immediately stepped forward and blocked in front of Yang Yuhuan: "Auntie! ”

Seeing that her son could take on this responsibility, Concubine Wu Hui was quite surprised, and said, "What are you afraid of, I won't eat your daughter-in-law." Yuhuan, come here. ”

Seeing her husband protecting herself like this, Yang Yuhuan tilted her head and glanced at it freshly. Her courage also strengthened a lot, so she loosened her husband's sleeve and walked generously in front of Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui nodded, and held Yang Yuhuan's hand with both hands: "Yuhuan, don't be afraid. This crown princess and even the queen's position, even if I can't do it, I will let you do it. ”

As soon as Li Longji proposed to return to Chang'an, he was opposed by a group of officials headed by Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing. The reason is very reasonable: the farmland along the route is being harvested at this time, and if such a large group of people is dispatched, it will definitely disturb the people. Farming is the foundation of a country, and it is related to the rations of the people and the seeds of the coming year.

Li Longji sounded reasonable, so he agreed first.

It's the days when Xiao Jiangyuan has to take a vacation every month, although Xiao Jiangyuan has never delayed his business because of his vacation, but this does not mean that Li Longji will be willing to let her leave, especially on a haunted night like this recently.

"It's better to ...... How many days have I come to stay with you? Li Longji said with great interest.

“…… The minister has said many times that it must be man-made, and even if it is not, it is definitely not haunted. Everyone stands up to the sky, and they are the true dragon emperors, even if there is yin and evil, they will never dare to get close. ”

"Just a few nights. I will go back to the palace to deal with political affairs during the day, and I will go to you in the evening, so it is decided. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

Li Longji's arrival this night really surprised Lu Yunniang. She hurriedly invited Li Longji in, then leaned over to Xiao Jiangyuan's side and whispered, "This ...... What's going on? Why did he come at night, wouldn't it be to think ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't know why, and also whispered: "What do you think?" ”

"Think of that!" Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan still didn't understand, Lu Yunniang pointed to the bedroom, and gestured with both hands to make a painting, "That's the ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan paused: "No." ”

"How do you know it won't? It must have been something he said. I'm telling you, don't believe the man's mouth, my dead Aya doesn't know how many times he has lied to my mother......"

"What are you talking about?" Li Longji, who was walking in the front with a meteor in stride, saw that the two women had not followed for a long time, so he turned around and asked.

Lu Yunniang instantly changed her smiling face: "It's nothing, the saint is coming, and the concubine asks her husband if she wants to prepare some better banquets." ”

"No need," Li Longji continued to walk, "I'm tired of eating in the palace, just order some light side dishes, and as for wine, I won't drink it for a long time." ”

Lu Yunniang said curiously: "The saint drinks so many banquets a year, can he still not drink?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded and said, "He didn't lie to you, because he would let me change all the wine to water in advance." ”

Lu Yunniang: "......"

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan indifferently following, Lu Yunniang hurriedly walked a few steps and grabbed her: "You must live with me tonight!" ”

“…… Didn't I live with you all the time? ”

Lu Yunniang stared at Li Longji's back and said, "Anyway, tonight, we must not let him succeed!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was puzzled: "Every time I go to Lishan, you stuff women's clothes for me, and make me a chest with a lotus leaf pattern of fish play, haven't you ever had such a thought?" ”

"I feel sorry for you and want you to take the initiative, but you don't have it, it means that you don't want to. If you don't want to, he can't force you, which are two different things. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "Don't worry." As you said, even if he wants to, it's up to me if I want to. ”

That night, Xiao Jiangyuan gave up his main room to Li Longji, and he went to live in the guest room hand in hand with Lu Yunniang. Seeing that Li Longji was happy and didn't stop him at all, Lu Yunniang changed her mind and said, "It seems that our saint is really a gentleman." But...... It is unheard of for the eldest woman to make room for the concubine. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan: "......"

On the second night, Lu Yunniang mentioned the wine from Chunxiangfang.

Lu Yunniang wanted to buy it, Xiao Jiangyuan didn't allow it, since she was also at home, she just happened to accompany her.

Coincidentally, on the third day, there was news that Chunxiangfang was half price on this day. So it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, Xiao Jiangyuan carried Lu Yunniang, and planned to go over before noon, and by the way, he had a meal in Nanshi.

What's even more coincidental is that Li Longji had nothing to do today, so he returned to Xiao Jiangyuan's mansion half a day in advance. Hearing that the slave guarding the door said that they had gone to Chunxiangfang in Nanshi, he simply did not enter the house and went to Nanshi.

Chunxiangfang's business was very good today, and Li Longji squeezed in the crowd for a long time before finally walking to the counter. When the shopkeeper saw that he was dressed in clothes, he knew that he was either rich or noble, and the distinguished guest he described happened to be there, so he led him in.

As soon as Li Longji stepped into the private room, he saw Xiao Jiangyuan and Lu Yunniang both looking at him with burning eyes, and there seemed to be something wrong with their eyes, as if they were not just unexpectedly surprised, but also a little speechless.

He asked the shopkeeper to step back, then closed the door tightly, and as soon as he sat down on the table, he whispered, "What's the matter?" ”

Before Xiao Jiangyuan could answer, he heard a very clear and familiar voice coming from the next room-

"Eighteen Lang's stuffy gourd, he has no strengths, and he is also equipped with a princess with a beautiful crown, Concubine Wu Hui is really well-intentioned!"

"Why don't she just make a queen on Princess Nashou's body, it's more direct."

"Second brother, why do you only know how to drink when you come?"

"Don't drink...... I can't forget what Auntie looked like when she died......"

"It's really too much, the deceased is the greatest, at that time, Concubine Li's aunt had passed away, and Concubine Wu Hui was just pregnant again, so she coaxed Aya over and let the second brother stay alone in the mourning hall."

"I heard that Ah Weng went to invite him for the sake of his second brother, but he was pushed back by that Wang Maozhong."

"Wang Maozhong is dead, the next one is ......"

"Second brother said cautiously, although we have a lot of dissatisfaction with Concubine Wu Hui, if we really kill her, I am afraid we can't say it."

"Why can't I kill her! It was she who took away Aya and all the grace of A-Niang, and made A-Niang die of depression. My aunt died because of her, and the revenge of killing my mother is not shared! Not only am I going to kill her, I'm going to kill Eighteen Lang! ”

"Not bad! Not only Aunt Li, but also the grace of you and my aunt was also taken away by Concubine Wu Hui? The demon concubine confuses the lord, and the adulterous concubine misleads the country! She even delusionally wanted to use Eighteen Lang to shake the second brother's position as the crown prince, which was so stupid! As everyone knows, even the prime minister is towards the second brother, even if Aya was dissatisfied before, didn't he move the second brother? Aya is already old, and the future Datang will inevitably be the second brother's, and when the time comes, won't Concubine Wu Hui and Eighteen Lang be disposed of with the second brother? What are you afraid of! ”

"yes, what are you afraid of?"

Before the words fell, the third prince heard a "bang", and the door was kicked open in an instant, and a tall and familiar figure stood at the door, smiling coldly.
