Chapter 144: Back to the Palace

Li Tiantu didn't ask for wine this time, but asked for a pot of West Lake Longjing, holding tea and looking into the distance through the window, he seemed to have returned to the ordinary, boring and simple life a year ago.

The past can only be recalled, not intoxicated, Li Tiantu stopped at a touch, and after returning to his senses, he smelled the fragrance of orchid on Su Ling'er behind him.

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Li Tiantu's heart, and without warning, he turned around and grabbed it, and put a pair of powerful big hands on Su Ling'er's waist.

Su Ling'er, who originally subconsciously wanted to draw the sword, just pressed the jade hand on the hilt of the sword, and then hung down weakly, and her heart was extremely frightened and docile and supple to let Li Tiantu do it.

Su Ling'er's waist is extremely thin, which complements her long figure and slender thighs, and it feels excellent to the touch, soft as boneless, which is diametrically opposed to Yun Mengluo's slightly plump waist, Li Tiantu couldn't help but snort secretly in his heart.

He suddenly stood up, put his fingers between his fingers, helped Su Ling'er sit opposite the square table, and said domineeringly: "Sit down and don't move." ”

Li Tiantu's gentle Su Ling'er has experienced a lot, but this rare domineering is the first time she has felt it, and she can only be obedient.

"Ling'er, do you really want to follow me? At that time, although I did some small favors to your sisters, but it was all a gesture, I don't deserve Ling'er to follow you so much, if you want, I can give you back your freedom. ”

Li Tiantu let out a long sigh after sitting down again.

Su Ling'er's eyes that were like Qiushui showed a look of grievance, and she said gloomily: "Childe, are you driving me away?" ”

Seeing Su Ling'er crying, Li Tiantu panicked, waved his hand and explained, "Of course not." I'm just afraid that Ling'er, you have wronged yourself because you have repaid your kindness. ”

Su Ling'er's expression became more and more solemn, and she solemnly raised her hand and swore: "I, Su Ling'er, am willing to serve my son as a slave and a maidservant, and my life will remain the same." If this oath is violated..."

"That's enough." Li Tiantu interrupted Su Ling'er's words heavily, he didn't want to listen to the next bad voices, and shook his head helplessly, Ling'er, this girl seems to be gentle, but in fact, she is extremely stubborn in her heart.

A pot of tea was exhausted, and he raised his hand to look at the flow of people outside the building, but Li Tiantu could no longer find the feeling he had before.

Lao Yu drove the carriage into the south gate of Jingshi, and went straight to the Central Palace along the Yingbin Avenue in the city.

The south Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace is guarded by eight guards with swords, and it is heavily guarded.

Today, however, something happened that made the forbidden army on duty suddenly feel incredible, a barely luxurious carriage galloped towards the main entrance of the palace, and came to an abrupt stop less than three feet away from the guards.

The leader of the forbidden army on duty was about to shout to see which daring man dared to dismount here, but his mouth was half open, but he could no longer close it, let alone make a sound, and his face was astonished.

I saw a big foot wearing ordinary linen shoes poking out of the carriage, and then a handsome young man appeared in front of the guards of the Suzaku Gate.

Li Tiantu, the commander of the forbidden army, a legendary figure who has risen from an ordinary non-grade internal guard to the commander of the fourth-grade forbidden army, has only just turned twenty years old when he took office, and he is also the first civilian commander of the forbidden army since the founding of the Celestial Empire, and it is also the goal of the 20,000 imperial city guards in Beijing to strive for a lifetime.

Although he disappeared for more than a year, the position of commander of the forbidden army was still occupied by him. Although after Li Tiantu disappeared a year ago, hundreds of officials rose up to remove Li Tiantu from his position, but they were still blocked by the current Holy Heavenly Xuandu, and the strange thing is that the general who has always looked at the emperor at the same time did not say a word about it in the court, did not agree, and did not object. However, the Nine Princes, who had nothing to do with Li Tiantu, insisted on dismissing Li Tiantu and made a lot of trouble in the court.

The eight guards of the Forbidden Army knelt down at the same time and said in unison: "Your Excellency, my subordinates have asked you for peace." ”

Li Tiantu approached the leader of the forbidden army, raised his hand to help him up, and waved his hand to signal the others in the distance to get up, and whispered to the imperial city: "I Li Tiantu is back." ”

The emperor Tianxuandu was still in the south study, and he naturally received the news of Li Tiantu's return.

Middle-aged, he paced back and forth in his room, and there was an indescribable excitement in his heart, an expression that resembled the eagerness of a loving father to see his son. Maybe subconsciously, because of the elegant woman he loved so much, he had already regarded Li Tiantu as his own.

The short-lived woman in the rivers and lakes finally made him unforgettable and regretful for a lifetime. If God can make him do it all over again, he would rather be a prodigal son who loves beauty rather than the country.

Wei Gonggong, the deputy minister of the Inner Servant Province, who was good at figuring out the holy will, reported on government affairs in the south study, looked at the anxious look of Tianxuandu in his eyes, and whispered: "Your Majesty, just now the guards have passed the news, and Commander Li has already crossed the overpass, and it is time to come." ”

Tianxuandu suddenly stopped, and suddenly said, "Have you arrived?" Well, go and greet you, and open the middle door. ”

"The old slave will do it."

Wei Gonggong, who is over sixty years old, has practiced Congenital Mixed Yuan One Qigong since he was a child, and his cultivation is not below the top ten masters in the world.

Li Tiantu had a face-to-face with Gonggong Wei, who was opening the door.

Gonggong Wei said in a dark voice: "Commander Li, you are really here, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Li Tiantu had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he had seen this eunuch Wei Liangchen, the first leader of the Great Inner Palace, and he felt that there was no vain under the fame, so he bowed slightly and nodded: "Father-in-law Wei is invited." ”

The two staggered shoulders, and Grandpa Wei, who stepped out of the door silently, took the door with his hand.

"Li Tiantu is late, please atone for your sins." Li Tiantu knelt down on one knee and bowed to Tianxuandu.

Tianxuandu looked excited, supported Li Tiantu's shoulders with both hands, directly helped him up, and said in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

Li Tiantu took a step back quietly, with a complicated expression on his face, the emperor's performance towards him was far beyond the affection of ordinary monarchs and ministers.

Luoyang Yizhou, he twice refused the emperor's invitation to return to Beijing.

At the time of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, which was crowded with many people, he even accompanied Yun Mengluo to the Governor's Mansion for a few days with nothing to do, if these did not reach the emperor's ears, even he couldn't believe it. After all, the Yizhou Governor's Mansion is the only two prominent places among the nine major governors of the Celestial Empire that have set up a great governor, and the court agents all over the world can't be all wine bags and rice bags who have nothing to do.

If he is the emperor, even if he has old feelings, he will abandon such a disobedient and arrogant courtier who violates the face of heaven for any reason, or leave him idle and never ask.
