Chapter 208: The Absent Man
As soon as Yi Yu mentioned this, some people discovered that Changsun Xi, who left the table halfway, had not returned.
From before the fireworks to the end of an assassination, there used to be less than half an hour, where did this person go?
"What about people?" Li Shimin asked.
"Father," Changle glanced at Yi Yu and said, "Xi'er obviously drank a few more cups, and went to the apse to rest first, Princess Wei didn't know where this set of rhetoric came from." ”
"There is a princess of Chu and the king of Han who can testify."
"Ren Rong can testify that someone did pass on the words of King Wei halfway and asked Princess Wei to leave the table." Zhao Pingrong followed the long music and said backward.
"The retainer never asked anyone to call her," Li Tai said, "and at that time he was discussing with the Seventh Emperor Uncle outside the forest on the side of the palace. ”
Li Shimin swept around, and saw that there was more than one of them, so he frowned and asked, "What about Yuanchang?" Why are they all gone, all of them are a little bit, and who else is not there? ”
Everyone hurriedly looked for a good relationship, or found something wrong.
"Back to the emperor, King Han is not here."
"Back to the emperor, Lai Guogong is not here."
"Hmph, go find it." Li Shimin waved his sleeves, turned around and went into the hall to see the situation in Pingyang, Li Chengqian hurriedly followed, and the remaining group of people stood outside the hall with big eyes and stared at each other, unable to leave, and did not dare to go in, so they had to return to their seats.
Gong E turned hot water, and everyone simply combed it, only one of the jade was stained with blood, and the hairpin ring lost two and didn't know where to go, and there was nowhere to change clothes, but fortunately, everyone was embarrassed now, and it didn't seem that she was special.
Li Qian has been taken away by her grandmother, and the young princes have also gone back to the palace to rest, and the guests who have fainted have been carried away one after another, and soon there are more than a dozen people left outside the palace.
Li Ke was standing with Changle Chengyang and them talking, Princess Chu and the King of Chu who had just woken up sat in the men's seat, Yi Yu and Li Tai picked up a quiet position and sat down, and the palace people served warm tea.
"What's going on?" Li Tai wrapped one hand around Yu Yu's shoulder, he was tall, just enough to keep her in the lee.
Yi Yu took a sip of tea, and her body gradually warmed up, "Eldest Sun Xi asked people to lead me there, and made a bet with me with a pot of poisonous wine**, if I win, she will tell me a secret." ”
"You answered?"
"I drank." As soon as he finished speaking, the fingers on his shoulders tightened hard, and Yu Yu raised his head, and looked at Li Tai's three points of confusion and seven points of dissatisfaction, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I have a soul suppression pill with me, which just happened to detoxify." ”
"You also know that it's 'just a coincidence,'" Li Tai caught her words as soon as he heard it, "I should praise you for being bold or impulsive and willful." ”
Yi Yu muttered, "You still praise me for not knowing what to do." ”
"What's the secret?" The trick of classmates to change the topic will only work when Li Tai acquiesces.
Yi Yu freed up a washed white finger and tapped it lightly on his chest.
"Have you lost your brain," the lip line straightened into a straight line, revealing the displeasure of its owner.
"It's not about the brain," Yi Yu tilted his head, his gaze wandered around his face, his eyes sank, and then he glanced away, "She provoked me, I don't want to put up with her." ”
She is not an impulsive and willful little girl, let alone a timid person, not so much that Changsun Xi is using Li Tai's secret to seduce her and make her agree to the ridiculous gambling contract, but rather because the relationship between her and Li Tai was provoked by Changsun Xi with an ethereal woman, so it can't be tolerated, at that time, any evasion is a sign of cowardice, whether she is bold or willful, it has nothing to do with the brain, she just doesn't want to avoid.
Tai is right to leak the stubbornness on her face, remembering what a stubborn temperament this woman is in her bones, and for a while she couldn't find any words to teach her, she sighed secretly and held her cold fingers on her chest.
"Okay, I'm fine," Yu Yu leaned on his shoulder, "It's Changsun Xi, you say, did she know that an assassin was coming tonight, so she made such a bet with me, or was it a coincidence?" ”
Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, there are many people who want to kill the emperor, and the assassins who attacked tonight have not been investigated, but they don't know which force it is, Hongzhuang? Looking at this poisonous method, it is possible, and it is possible for the remnants of the Anwang Party, but if it involves Changsun Xi, it will be subtle.
"What do you think?" Li Tai asked her instead.
"I thought, of course it had something to do with her," Yi Yu snorted lightly, two glasses of poisonous wine in her stomach, who knows how big Changsun Xi's idea is, even if she doesn't push her in vain, she won't let herself go, and use the topic to play.
Li Tai saw that she was finally willing to use her brain again, her face looked better, and he poured another cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "Wait for my father to ask, but you don't have to worry about it." ”
Yu Yu smiled, glanced at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "When it comes to this, you and I will still be polite to her." ”
Two or three groups of people sat outside the hall and waited for more than a quarter of an hour, only to hear a series of very rhythmic footsteps on the side of the hall, turned their heads and saw the figure of the guard, saying that someone had found it, and got up one after another.
"Xi'er?"
Yi Yu heard Changle's slightly questioning call, also put down the teacup, stood up first with Li Tai's shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw several figures among the guards, the one who stood with his forehead was Li Yuanjia, and the one who stood behind Li Yuanchang with his head bowed was Changsun Xi, and the one who was being held should be Du Ruojin.
It's good, everyone is together, but among that group of people, where did the weird atmosphere come from?
Yi Yu's gaze flowed from Li Yuanchang to Changsun Xi, frowned, and found the reason, it was not an illusion, could something happened to these two people?
Tai walked over, and Yu Yuxin suspiciously followed.
Changle pulled Changsun Xi to his side and asked, his voice was not lowered, and the two heard it before they walked over.
"Where have you been, there were assassins at the banquet just now, Princess Wei said that I had met you in the garden before, right?"
"Hmm."
"Is that what you asked her to invite, or is it you that she asked you to invite?"
Yi Yu said secretly, this Changle has become fast enough, and Li Shimin said in front of him that Changsun Xi is going to the apse to rest.
"There is a palace maid who passed on the words of Princess Wei and invited me over."
Yi Yu had already been mentally prepared, and it was not surprising to hear that Changsun Xi was beaten up like this, but other people didn't have such a good temper.
"Why does Princess Wei want to reverse right and wrong?" Changle turned around, aimed at the relict jade, and said coldly.
Yi Yu didn't argue with her, saving her saliva, "Her Royal Highness the princess don't be impatient, let's wait for my father to come out." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Changsun Xi twice, and saw that she was still half-hanging her head, very quiet, and she was even more curious about what happened in the apse when the assassins in the front hall were making a fuss.
"Several princes, princesses, princesses, Lord Du, the emperor announced that you are talking." The chamberlain soon passed Li Shimin's words.
The group was finally able to enter the temple to warm up.
Compared with the bustle of the banquet at the beginning, the hall was deserted, Li Shimin was seated high, and on the left stood a chamberlain in Tsing Yi, and the idle people were all thrown out.
"Where are you guys?" Li Shimin's expression was a little stern.
"If you go back to the emperor," Du Ruojin didn't touch his forehead with his hand anymore, but he couldn't hide his drunkenness, "The ministers drank a few more cups during the banquet, and then went to the outside of the palace to blow the wind, and accidentally slept outside, and was just woken up by the guards." ”
Li Yuanjia shook his head, "The minister sprinkled soup and water on his body, went to the apse to change his clothes, and read late yesterday, so he took a nap in the warm house." ”
"What about Yuanchang?"
Li Yuanchang was named, but he didn't answer as smoothly as the first two, his face showed embarrassment, he turned his head to look at Changsun Xi, and said: "Brother Huang, the minister is, it is the same night to admire the moon in the apse." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt weird, although the eldest grandson Xi and Li Yuanchang were the wrong generation, but in the end, a lonely man and a widow, admiring the moon? What's the matter?
Li Shimin heard that his words were covered, stretched out his hand and patted the desk, and outside the hall, a waiting guard leader trotted forward, bent down and attached himself to Li Shimin's ear, and whispered a few words like this.
Yi Yu saw sharply that the emperor who was only angry when Pingyang was stabbed was stabbed was out of shape and angry, his face flashed with a terrifying color, subconsciously, she turned her head sideways to look at Li Yuanchang and Changsun Xi, her eyesight was excellent, the two happened to be standing next to her left, Changsun Xi was less than half a foot away from her, and she could see behind her pink ears, a little tempting red mark.
The widow has been married for half a year, how can he not tell whether it was a mosquito bite or something else, and he was shocked-
These two people actually have a personal relationship
"You know that there were assassins at the feast." Li Shimin's voice was calm, not at all like he had just found out that his own brother was having an affair with his wife's niece.
"Fang heard from the guards that the emperor forgives his sins." The four of them knelt down on their front and back feet, quite self-aware.
"I was going to ask you over, but Pingyang Dai I was stabbed, the situation is unstable at the moment, and I am not in the mood to worry about you now, so I will come here tonight, and you will each go back to the house to wait for the decree to listen to the message."
There was supposed to be a confrontation, but it was so silent, but no one dared to put more beaks, even Changle, who was still questioning the relics outside the hall, didn't say much, everyone responded, and saw Li Shimin turn around and enter the inner room, and then straightened up.
"Let's all disperse, go back and rest." Li Yuanjia glanced at Li Yuanchang, dropped a sentence, and took the lead to leave, and when the others saw it, they all said goodbye to each other and left the palace.
Changle glanced at Yi Yu, turned around and walked out with Changsun Xi, Li Yuanchang hesitated for a moment and followed.
"Third Miss stay," Yu Yu called out to her, and without waiting for anyone to turn back, she asked again, "That bet deal-"
Eldest Sun Xi's back stiffened, his footsteps did not stop, mixed with a low chuckle, and the echo came, "Princess Wei's luck is really enviable." ”
Yi Yu's eyes flashed, and he watched them walk away.
"Let's go." Li Tai half-hugged her and left, and behind the two, Du Ruojin looked at them with a complicated face, and waited until everyone was gone, and then turned around and entered the inner hall.
