Daming Palace is located in the east side of the imperial city, east near Longshou Mountain, is built from Zhenguan six years, formerly known as Yong'an Palace, for the Taiji Palace back garden, built to Zhenguan nine years, take the righteous avenue to be clear, and renamed Daming Palace.

After Li Shimin's Mid-Autumn Festival illness, he moved to the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace to recuperate.

When it was dusk, in front of the Xuanzheng Palace, in the quiet and deserted hall on weekdays, it was rare to have popularity, the prince and princess, the prince and the prime minister, there were not a few people who were announced into the palace, when Yu Yu and Li Tai arrived, several princes who lived in the capital were almost all waiting here, and what did not come was the second prince Li Kuan, the third prince Li Ke, and the sixth prince Li Yan who was degraded to Beijing.

In addition, the left and right servants, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Qiao, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, Gao Shilian, Shen Gong, Chi Jingde, and Lu Gongcheng Zhijie, were all among the edicts.

This is like a scene to explain the future, which makes people restless, the emperor has not said which one to see first, and even several seasoned princes and ministers can't avoid the present, gathering in twos and threes, asking each other about the rumors, not to mention the young people in the palace.

"King Wei, Princess Wei has arrived."

As soon as the couple entered the door, the buzzing and whispering hall was quiet, and then someone competed to say hello to Li Tai, and for a while the call of "King Wei" and "King Wei" in the palace was endless, and Li You shouted loudly:

"Fourth brother, you're here."

When he saw that Yi Yu was following behind Li Tai, he hurriedly smiled at her with a sideways look, "Fourth sister-in-law." ”

"Hmm."

Yi Yu glanced at Li Tai, saw him walking towards Li You and them, turned his head and saw where several princesses and princesses were sitting, so he didn't follow him, and went there alone.

Seeing her coming, except for Chang Le, who had a sneer, and Chengyang, who had a gloomy face, almost all the nobles stood up to greet her.

"Fourth sister-in-law."

"Fourth sister-in-law."

"Fourth sister-in-law, sit here."

In the royal family, especially know how to see the wind and steer, a month ago, at the birthday banquet in Pingyang, Yu Yu was still a character who was not welcomed in every way and was pointed out by others.

Yi Yu smiled secretly, nodded to them without kissing, and saluted Changle again, regardless of whether she took care of herself or not, she walked to Gao Yang, who couldn't stop glaring at her, and sat down with the corner of her skirt.

As soon as she sat down, Gao Yang pulled her sleeve and leaned over to complain:

"I went to the palace to look for you yesterday, why aren't you there?"

"I went to the second brother's house, why didn't you hand over a post before you came."

Gao Yang pouted, glanced at both sides, and knew that many people were listening to the two of them with their ears pricked up, his voice was slightly raised, and he said a little smugly:

"Do I still need to hand over a post when I go to you?"

Yi Yu saw her small movements in her eyes, knowing that she was showing the cordiality of the two in front of everyone, and she didn't think she had a heart, but she thought it was cute, so she softened her tone and explained with good words:

"You know I didn't mean that, but I'm afraid that the wrong front and back feet will make you run for nothing."

When she was in trouble, although Gao Yang couldn't help her, she never avoided suspicion of her, or she was afraid of implicating her, so she deliberately avoided Gao Yang, and now she followed Li Tai and turned over, how to be careful with her.

Gao Yang accepted it when he saw it, and in the blink of an eye, he took her hand affectionately and muttered something else.

When everyone arrived, I saw a chamberlain pacing out of the cabinet, with a handful of dust on his arm and wrist, looking at the hall, and proclaiming loudly:

"Biography, Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, meet you."

shouted three people once, and followed the waiter into the warm pavilion under the eyes of everyone.

In less than a cup of tea, the three of them retreated again, these people are all big names who have been in officialdom for a long time, deliberately covering up, just from their expressions, it is difficult for Yu Yu to see what lessons they have heard inside.

"Biography, Princess Wei Lu's relics, audience."

Yi Yu was pondering the subtle expression on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear, he was stunned, looked left and right, confirmed that he was calling himself, and then knew how to get up.

It's no wonder that she is slow to reflect, on this kind of occasion, if she wants to be announced by the emperor, she can't be talked about whether it is horizontal or vertical, not to mention that she is still announced alone, what is this called?

Yi Yu glanced at Li Tai, and when he saw that he nodded slightly at him, he lowered his head and followed the waiter.

As soon as Yiyu entered the room, she felt that the hot air rushed to her face, mixed with a slightly fishy smell of herbs, mixed with ambergris, all kinds of smells mixed together, it was a little pungent and unpleasant, in a habit, she still sniffed the smell carefully, trying to identify the medicinal materials.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wei has arrived."

"Well, stay outside the door."

"Yes."

The chamberlain led the jade into the house, then bowed down and retreated to the door, she hesitated a step, walked in alone, heard the sound of the curtain falling behind her, and did not look back.

Seven or eight steps away, there were layers of veil curtains, and the light in the room was not bright, but it was enough for Yu Yu to see a figure lying on the side on the dragon bed behind the veil, although it was vague, she could also feel the scrutinizing gaze cast from the other side.

"See the Emperor."

Yi Yu lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down to bow.

The sick monarch watched her kneel down and kowtow, without shouting, and the room was quiet for a while, before Yu heard his dark and tired voice:

“... I can see why I want to edict you. ”

"Ignorance."

"I want to see which chess piece is it that messes up my whole game of chess."

Suddenly, a few drops of cold sweat soaked out of Yi Yu's forehead, and he said a lot of mistakes in his heart, so he simply lowered his head and said nothing.

"The prince is weak-hearted, if it weren't for Pingyang and Li Tai persecuting him together, he wouldn't have rebelled, and Pingyang may not have understood that she was used as a gunman by you...... Speaking of which, it was still my miscalculation, I thought that Li Tai would order you not to return to Beijing early, and there was Pingyang to protect you, so there would be no chaos, I never thought that you would run into it by yourself, I knew that you would do bad things, and I used Lu Zhi in the first place, so I shouldn't have kept you. ”

Li Shimin's body was obviously not healed, and when he said these few words, his breathing became a little tighter, and when he heard it in his ears, instead of feeling relaxed, a cold breath surged up his spine to the top of his head.

He knew, he knew everything, he knew that she had found Lu Zhi, and he knew that it was Lu Zhi who helped her this time.

What should she do, is she pretending to be confused or honestly admitting that in the face of the emperor's provocation, she heard that there was an undisguised killing intent in his words for a moment, and Yu Yu knelt there with her neck stiff, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Just when Yu Yu was nervous, Li Shimin's words suddenly changed and said in a rambling voice:

"The prince is indeed not a candidate for a great career, he is talented in martial arts, among my sons, he is not top-notch, and he suffered from foot disease the year before last, so it can be said that he was half of the waste, but he is my eldest son, only such an identity, as long as he is willing to keep to himself, no one can surpass him. Li Tai is certainly both civil and military, but his biological mother is a woman who is not on the stage, and her blood is low, and I never thought of passing it on to him. ”

can't be on the table, and the bloodline is low.

Hearing the emperor's cold evaluation of Li Tai's biological mother Concubine Jin, Yuyu's entire upper body stiffened, she was not ignorant of Concubine Jin's death, such a woman who worked hard for love, although she couldn't agree with her actions, but she didn't think that the emperor was qualified to insult a woman who died for him like this.

She endured it and didn't open her mouth to argue.

Li Shimin was quite satisfied with her humility and quietness, and continued:

"More than ten years ago, I was still in the East Palace, but I was pressed by King An, endured humiliation, and once achieved a great cause, I was jealous in my heart, and I couldn't see brothers fratricidal, father and son were not close and disrespectful. I originally favored Li Ke earlier, but he and the crown prince assassinated Li Tai, which caused me to feel a gap and gradually drift apart. ”

Recalling some past events, Li Shimin's voice was melancholy, and he stopped talking:

"Later, I was accustomed to indulging Li Chen, he actually thought that I was biased against Li Tai, and I also held a grudge against me, and the ugliness of the bow was revealed at the bow meeting that day, and I had to expel him. Concubine Yin's family is prominent, only one son, Li You, I inevitably pay attention to it, often order him to enter the palace to live, and let him get close to the prince, but he also has bad intentions, listen to the instigation of others, and actually try every means to blame Li Tai for his life, and then eat the consequences, a serious illness, and his temperament is also nested. ”

"I have fourteen sons, the most wise and brave is Li Tai, the most ruthless is Li Tai, he is only twenty-four years old now, but I buried my climate heirs quietly, so that I can't find out the slightest fault of him, thinking that he is too scheming, so I have to leave him in the capital, close to see him."

Hearing this, Yi Yu's face changed suddenly, she originally thought that Li Tai was not an official because the emperor wanted to keep him as a target, and use his favor for Li Tai to cover his true heir, but there is still this relationship.

Listening to Li Shimin's emotion, Yi Yu felt bitter in his heart, he only loved the prince and Li Ke as sons, but he treated Li Tai as an outsider from beginning to end.

This made her can't help but recall that at the bow party in the palace in March of that year, Li Ke hit Li Tai on horseback, and the two of them were injured, but there was only one son in the eyes of the emperor, Concubine Yang shouted, Li Chen's indignation, they all had parents and brothers who cared about her Li Tai.

"It's hard for me to think that if this world is handed over to Li Tai, there will be a few of my children left in the end."

"The emperor's words, forgive Yu Yu dare not agree."

Li Shimin looked at the figure that had been cautious for a long time and suddenly straightened up through the layers of veils, a little surprised, frowned, and asked without being angry:

"You're trying to say I'm wrong?"

"Yu Yu gave birth to a daughter in June, and now she is also a mother, although she can't fully appreciate her parents' hearts, but she also has a little feeling, thinking that even if the child will not make people worry about it in the future, and no longer attract people's liking, I can beat her, scold her, and teach her a lesson, but I will never smile at her, and be wary of her in my heart."

Yi Yu was still kneeling on the ground, her hands folded in front of her abdomen, staring straight at the curtain behind the veil, the injustice in her heart was irrepressible, so that she forgot her fear of the monarch, and only wanted to ask Li Tai clearly:

"The emperor has a heart for a father, why is there a shortage of one person."
