Chapter 167: Intensification of Contradictions (II)

"It's nothing, Yuan Ji is a little moody, Xu is also sad in his heart, but he doesn't want to show it on his face." The eldest grandson's heart jumped, this kind of unfounded thing must not be said.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the violent fluctuations in her heart, and silently said to herself in her heart: Impossible, no matter what way you look at it, Yuan Ji has no motive to attack Sister Pingyang.

Li Shimin saw that his wife refused to say more, and his heart became more and more suspicious, but his wife didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask again, so he could only go out with his heart, and the eldest grandson looked at his back, and his heart was even more worried.

Li Shimin went to the princess's mansion after going out, when he arrived, Chai Shao was drinking porridge with his son, and when he saw Li Erlang, Chai Shao raised his mouth in some surprise: "Erlang, you just went back yesterday, why did you come here again today?" ”

"Come and see you and Zhewei, brother-in-law, my sister is gone, you don't have to be too sad, Zhewei and Lingwu need you to take care of them." Li Shimin looked at Chai Shao, who was so haggard that he couldn't figure himself, and Chai Zhewei, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and his heart was very blocked.

"I know, not only me, but you and your younger siblings are the same, I know your relationship with Pingyang, Erlang, the three-day strike has passed, you should go up to the court." Chai Shao drank the remaining porridge in the bowl in one gulp, put down the bowl and looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I've taken leave with my father, it's okay, Zhewei, I'll go to the outer courtyard after eating and take a walk around to eliminate my food." Li Shimin sat down beside Chai Shao and said a word to Chai Zhewei, who had finished eating.

Chai Zhewei knew that his uncle probably had something to say to his father, so he nodded sensibly, got up and went outside, Chai Shao asked a little strangely when he saw this: "Erlang, what do you want to ask me?" ”

"Well, I want to know, why did my sister's condition suddenly deteriorate again?" Li Shimin nodded and said.

Chai Shao originally went with him on the expedition, but when he heard that Pingyang was seriously injured and there was no major fighting on the front line on his side, he returned early, and when he returned to Beijing, Pingyang's injuries had not yet begun to deteriorate.

"I also think it's strange that when I came back, Pingyang could already fight slowly in the courtyard, but three days later, the injury suddenly deteriorated, and the doctors were helpless, and the final cause was that there may be an unknown hidden cause in her body that was stimulated." Chai Shao said.

"During this period, who are the people who came to treat Sister Binh Duong? Who has come to see her? Li Shimin asked again.

"When the Pingyang class teacher returned to the court, he was directly taken to the palace by His Majesty, and she moved out of the palace after her injuries improved.

"As for those who came to Pingyang, the prince and clan relatives in Beijing have come to visit, Erlang, you suddenly asked about it, could it be ......" Chai Shao's heart jumped when he heard it.

"No, brother-in-law, don't think about it, I'm just a little bit confused, my sister has followed her teacher since she was a child to practice martial arts, and she is afraid that she is stronger than me, and there is no reason for her injury to suddenly deteriorate to this point under the premise that her injury has begun to recover."

"However, this matter was jointly diagnosed by many imperial doctors in the palace, and the conclusion was that it was possible that the hidden cause in her body might be triggered by the injury, and it may be that I am really worried." Li Shimin glanced at him and shook his head.

Coming out of the princess's mansion, Li Shimin did not leave, he walked aimlessly along the street, and unconsciously came to the military camp where Pingyang had stayed, he stood at the gate of the barracks for a while, and turned around and left silently.

Leaving the barracks, he continued to walk aimlessly, and only when the sun was about to set did he turn around and walk in the direction of the Qin Palace.

Passing through two streets, passing by a bustling street at the junction of Waiguo City and the Imperial City, Li Shimin suddenly saw Yuan Ji's figure.

Yuan Ji did not wear court clothes, he was dressed in ordinary rich Langjun casual clothes, and walked towards Dingfeng Building with two richly dressed young men.

Dingfeng Building is the number one restaurant in the capital, with excellent dishes and first-class service, and is located at the junction of Waiguo City and the Imperial City.

The location of Dingfeng Building can be said to be just right, far away from the palace city, and the handover with the imperial city, neither like the shop in the imperial city, always need to look at the eyes of the nobles from all walks of life, and will not completely cut off the relationship with the nobles.

In addition to the wealthy businessmen from all walks of life who come here to consume on weekdays, there will also be some children of the noble family who have nothing to do.

As a prince, it is not surprising that Yuan Ji came here to eat by chance, but today is the fourth day of Princess Pingyang's burial, so he and his friends ran to this Dingfeng Building to eat and drink, and the most hateful thing is that when he saw himself asking for leave, he also ran to ask for leave with the emperor, saying that he wanted to mourn his sister.

It's good now, the mourning came directly to Dingfeng Building, if it weren't for the fact that his sanity was still alive, Li Shimin couldn't wait to rush up immediately to get him out and beat him up, seeing that Yuan Ji entered the gate, he stopped and followed with a calm face.

Li Yuanji ran to Dingfeng Building at this time, obviously more careful, he looked around when he entered the door, and did not find any familiar faces around, so he stepped into Dingfeng Building.

After entering the door, he went up to the second floor with two companions and entered the VIP hall, Li Shimin followed cautiously, and he didn't retreat until he saw them enter the room.

After the people inside finished ordering, he suddenly appeared and stopped the shopkeeper who was in charge of ordering, took out a patrol general's waist card from his arms, and said to the shopkeeper: "I am a patrol officer who has just been transferred here, and I found that one of the people who just went in is somewhat similar to the wanted bandit sent to us by Shangguan, do you know where these people come from?" ”

"Sir, I, I don't know, Chen Langjun and Wang Langjun are wealthy businessmen from other places, they live in Chang'an for three or four months a year, and they often come to our restaurant to eat. When the guy saw the waist card in Li Shimin's hand, he was startled, and immediately poured out what he knew like beans.

"What did they order?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Chen Langjun and Wang Langjun have always been generous, and today they ordered eight meat and four vegetables, all of which are the signature dishes of our store, plus a pot of good wine." The guy replied.

"Got it, you go down, be careful not to alarm them, just entertain them as usual, if you dare to disobey, huh?" After Li Shimin listened, he waved his hand and gave a slightly threatening admonition.

"Sir, don't worry, the small ones will be saved." The guy nodded his head like garlic.

About an hour later, until the first day of the lanterns, Li Yuanji came out with a smoky drunkenness, and as soon as he went out, he saw a tall burly figure blocking his way.

"Looking for death...... Second, second brother, why are you here? Yuanji was furious, blurting out a sentence of looking for death, but when he looked up and saw the person standing in front of him, the anger in his mouth suddenly turned into a stammer.

"If I wasn't here, how would I know that my good fourth brother was so virtuous in private? I asked for leave, and you also ran to ask your father for leave, saying that you want to mourn for your sister, it turns out that this is the mourning? Li Shimin was furious.

"How can I use you to manage my virtue in private? Are you the crown prince or the emperor? Don't think that if your father has given you the title of Admiral of Tiance, you really think that you are above the princes. ”

"Pretending to be virtuous every day, either teaching this or that, I!" Li Yuanji was already short-tempered, and he had a knot in his heart for Li Shimin, plus he drank some wine, and was stimulated by Li Shimin's words, his reason was suddenly forgotten, and he scolded without breaking his words.
