The news came from the imperial capital, saying that Li Yuan's subordinates secretly caught a mysterious man in the Suhe generation and quickly sent him to Li Yuan's courtyard in the upper reaches of the Suhe River, suspecting that it was Li Si, who had been separated from me for a while.

When I arrived, my father was discussing something with his lieutenant general over a map, and the lieutenant was puzzled why if Li Yuan's purpose was to kill Li Si, why he had to go in the opposite direction and send him to the upper reaches of the Su River first.

Song Zhiyi continued: "At this time, the ice floes in the upper reaches of the Su River have not yet been civilized, the river is slow, killing people and throwing corpses in the upper reaches, even if all the officials are dispatched, it is difficult to find the corpse for a while, and when the river is civilized and the body is washed downstream, Li Yuan has enough time to clean up all the traces, and at that time, the real cause of death of the second prince is impossible to investigate." ”

"Then why didn't he hide the body, or just set it on fire?"

Song Zhiyi said again: "Li Yuan's purpose is the throne, he must make the death of the second prince public to the world, not life and death, so that the emperor can die, even if the emperor suspects that Li Yuan did it, as long as Li Yuan does not admit it, the emperor has lost a son, and if he disposes of Li Yuan, he will have no son to inherit his throne, so he can only let him go this time." ”

This Li Kite's thief is bold enough, but who can blame this, Concubine Shu and the queen have been fighting in the harem for many years, just calculating each other, even under the knees of other concubines, no serious son can survive.

The battle for the throne between Li Yuan and Li Si is actually a comparison of who is more ruthless than whom.

The deputy general nodded clearly, looked at the map and said, "The second prince should have been taken upstream at this moment, is it already ......?"

"No," I glanced at Su Beihou, and said: "Li Yuan has been trying to assassinate Li Si all these years, but he has never succeeded, even if he has a long night and many dreams, he will definitely go in person to confirm that his subordinates have not caught the wrong person, and watch him breathe with his own eyes, Dijing to Shucheng is also a three-day journey, Li Yuan should still be on the road now, and Li Si is still alive." ”

Su Beihou also nodded, sent the deputy general and Song Zhiyi out, and gave me a letter alone.

This letter was written by Concubine Shu, who, as a mother, begged my father to lead troops to Shucheng to rescue her son-in-law. Subei Hou said: "Subei Mansion is less than a day away from Shucheng Macheng, if my father sends someone immediately, he should be able to rescue the second prince before Li Yuan arrives in Shucheng." ”

"But Daddy didn't have time to send a letter to the Imperial Capital to ask for the emperor's holy order, Daddy sent troops to go without authorization, if he saved people, it's okay, if Li Si is not in Shucheng at all, the emperor will take this opportunity to surrender to Daddy." I say.

Su Beihou was silent, still thinking about something.

First, the news was handed over by Concubine Shu, if the news was false, the Marquis of Subei led someone to save it, and Li Si was not in Shucheng at all, and Subei Mansion fell into a bureau jointly laid out by Emperor Dayue and Concubine Shu, of course, the layout of the people also included Li Si. If Su Beihou didn't bring someone to save him, no matter whether Li Si was alive or dead after this incident, the Su family's behavior of not saving him when he saw death would make it difficult for me, as Li Si's wife, to deal with myself in the heavenly family.

Second, if the news is true, Subei Mansion rescued Li Si and exposed Li Yuan's evil deeds, and everyone was happy. If the news is true, Subei Mansion did not save Li Si, which is unreasonable and moral.

It's just that my father is a very moral person, and he knows that it is a trap, and he will not tolerate death without help.

I hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and begged solemnly: "Father can't act rashly, Li Si promised me that there will be a reunion this time, he said that he has a way, he will definitely have a way, his daughter believes in him, please father believe in his daughter!" ”

But Su Beihou, the stubborn donkey, didn't listen to persuasion, so I could only use some simple and efficient methods, a pack of sweat medicine to put it down.

When I came out of the room, Song Zhiyi asked me what Su Beihou said, and I told him that my father was asleep. Song Zhiyi knew in an instant that I was making trouble, frowned and said, "Li Si is your husband, do you really want to be like this?" ”

I said: "It's what you said, Subei Mansion shouldn't step into this turbid world again, and my father's clean days are numbered, I just want him to have a good year." Saying that, I was still not very relieved, and cautiously told Song Zhiyi: "This news should have never been received, and no one is allowed to save him, and you are not allowed!" ”

Song Zhiyi still listened to me, and walked away stupidly, I saw him enter the door with my own eyes, so I was a little relieved. But I can't be completely assured, Song Zhiyi grew up behind my father's buttocks, and my father's noble character of righteousness has already penetrated into his bone marrow, and sure enough, after less than half an hour, Song Zhiyi changed into a night suit and prepared to set off.

I blocked him outside the door, Song Zhiyi was very helpless, he said, "Don't stop me." ”

He thought I was stopping him from saving people, but I was actually stopping him from dying. Li sighed this time into the tiger's den, is to get the tangible evidence of Li Yuan's mutilation of his siblings, at this time, as long as someone in Subei Mansion moves, he will startle the snake, after Li Yuan knows, just let the person go, and he Song Zhiyi single-handedly killed the past, one accidentally called the arrow to death, who will investigate him for the life or death of the son of a criminal minister.

I said, "Brother Oriyi, how many times have you seen me escape death since I was a child, and I said that he would be fine, then he would be fine, and you are not the only person in this world who believes my words?" ”

Song Zhiyi hesitated slightly, but said: "I believe in you, but I can't convince the morality in my heart." ”

I stretched out my hands to stop him, and said very seriously: "Morality is only qualified to be talked about by the living, and now you take a step further, it is farther and farther away from the morality in your heart, I don't allow you to risk your life, I want you to live." ”

Song Zhiyi's eyes were moved for a moment, I walked up and unloaded his weapon and threw it on the ground, glanced at the ground, and said in a slightly lighter tone, "I need you to live, we still have a lifetime." ”

After Li Si dies, Song Zhiyi will still be the emperor and I will resent, and then we will theorize the morality for half a lifetime until I die of old age.

"You ......" Song Zhiyi paused, then I walked to the bluestone in the garden and sat down, listening to Song Zhiyi ask behind me: "Will you regret it, if Li Si is gone, won't you regret it?" ”

I didn't answer, because what he said was if, but there was no if, I knew that Li Si would not die, as long as there was that lotus heart, even if the gods came, they couldn't kill him.

Song Zhiyi could only say again: "I don't want to see you regret it, but ...... You insist on this, and my brother always depends on you. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned and retreated into the room, the sound of the door closing sounded a little hurried, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

I think that if Song Zhiyi really becomes a wicked person one day, most of it will be caused by me, compared to this time, I forced him to give up the morality in my heart for me, I am a bad woman.

But being a bad woman is also very tiring, I sat in the yard, watching the last tenacious fallen leaves of the sycamore drifting down, and then it will be a short time to draw new sprouts, I don't know if I can wait for the reunion that Li Si said before the budding, and the answer he gave him when he asked me to reunite, I thought about it for a long time, and I still didn't figure it out.

I only know that knowing that he is in danger at this time, I stopped everyone from seeing death and did not save me, and I felt a little uncomfortable. And thinking that he will experience a suspended animation, it is likely that Li Yuan will be thrown into the river, soaked in the cold yellow sand bitter water and flowing downstream, it is extremely desolate for him, although I know that there is a lotus heart, he will not even feel too much cold, but still faintly hope to hug the cold body at the first time, call him back to his soul.

I didn't fall asleep when I got back to my room, calculating how long it would be before Li Yuan arrived, when Li sighed that he might die, how long it would take for his body to be found downstream at the speed of the water this season, and how long it would take for me to see him again. I even plan to wait a few days and wait on the edge of the Su River, and maybe I will just float at my feet.

But waiting for the lady concubine who came in person from thousands of miles away, for the fact that Subei Mansion did not send someone to save Li Si, the concubine didn't say anything, she said that since she couldn't find Li Si, she needed to take me back to the imperial capital first, and the disappearance of the second prince still needed me to return to the emperor to explain it in person.

I hope that the person who came to pick me up was Li Si, who actually didn't want to go with her, but I was afraid that she would embarrass my father, so I hurriedly said goodbye to my family in Subei Mansion, and followed Concubine Shuniang on the road.

When I arrived along the Su River, Concubine Shuniang arranged for everyone to stop and rest, summoned me at night, and asked me what tricks Li Si was doing.

Since Concubine Shu is his mother-in-law, her net worth and life are on Li Si, so naturally she will not want to harm him, so I told me everything I knew, please rest assured, and I hope she will not get involved.

Concubine Shu nodded and asked cautiously, "Are you sure the second prince will be fine?" ”

"I'm sure there's no one in the world who has killed him."

"That's good, you have married in the Second Prince's Mansion over the years, and your mother has seen everything you say and do, you are indeed a little different from ordinary people, and your mother knows it."

I said that these mortals should not be so ignorant as that, that I have exposed enough, and that they would be stupid if they did not have any enlightenment.

"However," Concubine Niangniang changed her words, and with her "but", many guards suddenly poured into the room, and my hands were quickly tied, and I saw the maid bring a cup of poisonous wine, Concubine Niangniang said with a cold face: "The practice of not going to save the second prince in Northern Jiangsu Mansion really chills the palace, you are quite powerful, but you are not my race, and the palace can't keep you." fed her and drank it, and said that the second princess had the news of the death of the second prince and was martyred. ”
