Chapter 61: The Despicable Xue Li (I)
On the tenth day of the fifth month, Xue Li returned to Tianyi Pavilion and did not take on the duties of the Heavenly Master's bodyguard. Instead, he continued to return to the horse farm, raised and walked horses with Lao Cangtou, and continued to be Lao Cangtou's apprentice as he had in his previous life! It's just that there are a few apprentices and grandchildren who can be used to ridicule from time to time, and the fun has decreased a lot! Fortunately, the four maids around him are now very familiar with each other, and they can talk and laugh together, and life is not so boring. Looking at the four peaches that seemed to be ripe, Xue Li's heart often felt itchy. I am a person who has had that kind of experience, so my desire for that aspect has gradually grown with age! Just looking at my hairless body, I feel powerless! I thought, "Why are those guys adults when they cross over, but I am a child." I'll have to ask why in the next meeting!"
At this time, a person in charge of the Taoist came over to invite Xue Li, saying that the Heavenly Master had something to ask! Xue Li hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hurried to the hall where the Heavenly Master was!
I saw that the heavenly master Li Xuan was wearing a cyan Taoist robe, wearing a towering golden crown, sitting high on the high platform in the hall, her expression seemed to be a little tired, I saw that she waited for Xue Li to see the ceremony, and said with some displeasure: "Okay, you Xue Li, you masters and apprentices are not doing their jobs properly, and they are not good at protecting me when the soldiers are in chaos! Instead, they ran out of the city to chase and kill the barbarians, ignoring me, what is the reason! In vain, I treat you like a relative every day, how can you do that, let me chill my heart to this point, what is the reason!"
Xue Li looked at Li Xuanyi and said a little helplessly: "I went to sweep the tomb with my apprentice Li Shimin that day, and I knew that I was caught up in the sword soldiers for no reason! We 800 people were trapped in hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and I and Cangshi really couldn't come back at that time! The incident happened suddenly, what we could do at that time was to let those barbarians stay away from Chang'an as much as possible, so that we could stay away from you and keep you away from danger, I thought I used Cangshi to resolutely go out of the city to defend against the enemy, and fought with those cavalry for three days and three nights before the enemy was repulsed!"
Li Xuanyi continued to say coldly: "Then as you said, do I still have to thank you?
Xue Li said solemnly: "Although I didn't come back, but as soon as the Cangshi saw that the situation was not good, he came back immediately, and he stayed by your side for three days and three nights, don't you know? No wonder the Cangshi looked a little unhappy when he came back later! What's wrong, you quarreled! Auntie, you quarreled and returned to the quarrel, but don't take it to heart!"
Looking at Li Xuanyi's slightly surprised face, Xue Li continued: "Auntie, in fact, I was so crazy to kill the enemy at that time, mainly to bring you peace! I was afraid that if the enemy's cavalry entered Chang'an at that time, you would be frightened and hurt! Auntie, you must believe me! You know me, I am an honest and trustworthy person, and I never lie!"
Li Xuanyi looked at Xue Li and asked, "Your master really rushed back as soon as possible!"
"Yes, he has been back for three days, and he has been by your side! Do you know how great the master's ability is? That's why I can rest assured that I will kill the enemy outside!"
"What three days?"
"Three days from the day the enemy began his offensive!"
Xue Li looked at Li Xuanyi, who was deep in thought, and continued: "Auntie, Master was very happy when he went, and seemed to be a little unhappy when he came back, what's wrong with you, why is Master so unhappy!"
Li Xuanyi silently calculated the days in his heart, it seemed that those days happened to be the days of his monthly retreat, could it be that the cangtou knew about his own affairs, could it be that he was jealous, thinking about it, he couldn't help but blush!
Seeing her blushing face, Xue Li became more aware of the speculation in his heart! I saw that he solemnly took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and said to Li Xuanyi: "When the master went to see you, he kept holding this bottle in his hand, saying that he wanted to give it to you. A few days ago, the master was still drunk, and he kept holding the bottle in his hand, saying that he wanted to give it to you, but he was afraid that you would feel shabby, so he never gave it to you! I took advantage of his inattention to steal this bottle to you, this is the master's intention, you must accept it!
Looking at the bottle in Xue Li's hand, Li Xuan thought to himself: "He doesn't know, he must not know, he doesn't know what I have done in the past few days! He even gave me a gift! This is the first time he has given me a gift in more than 100 years, he doesn't know, he must not know my true face!"
Watching Li Xuanyi rush down frantically, snatch the small porcelain bottle, and carefully place it on her chest, Xue Li smiled, his face full of joy!
Li Xuanyi opened the small porcelain bottle and looked at the liquid that seemed to be pale gold, which seemed to be a little viscous, and also emitted a faint smell like orchid and musk!
"What is this, it smells so good, why haven't I ever seen it?"
"This is perfume, it is estimated that there is only such a bottle in the world, this is what we got from the dead Tuli Khan! According to his subordinates, this thing was obtained from the Persian Empire thousands of miles away, and the price is 10,000 gold, and its fragrance can stay on people's bodies, so that people can keep the fragrance fragrant!" Xue Li said, his face full of envy.
Ever since Li Shimin was named the crown prince, Li Jiancheng's mood has become more and more bad! When Li Jiancheng is in a bad mood, he likes to vent on the bed! After he got up from today's eighth woman, he finally felt that he was really a little tired! She kicked out of the bed a few women who seemed to be still interested in lying on the bed and told them to get out! In fact, she was not very interested in this kind of thing! Because she had done too much! The women under him are too uninteresting, and every time I do it, I don't know if I was raped by them! I am often tired to death, but those women don't react like dead people! It's still funny when Li Xuanyi makes it! Every time he screams so loudly, he will have a lot of tricks! After he is done, he will walk away silently, which is really good!
Li Jiancheng slapped himself on the head in annoyance, as if he was dissatisfied with his crankiness. I heard him seem to say to himself: "The line is right! The best way for me now is to do nothing, just wait, do something harmless, and then justice will be done on its own." Don't and don't fight, just pretend to be stupid and stunned! Hey, that stupid third child, doing things too stupidly, killing people to Li Huo's body, that Li Huo, there are so many secrets on his body, I guess I am not an opponent! The third child is really a stupid person! However, the third child has fallen, which is also a good thing for me!"
At this time, Li Yuanji, the third son of the emperor, was kneeling in the square of the palace, listening to the emperor's father's will on how to deal with him! After hearing the sermon, he could not help but be full of joy after he was demoted from prince to county queen. Thinking that as long as he didn't die, there would definitely be a way to make a comeback in the future! So he stuffed a few gold coins into the hands of the eunuch who made the decree, and slowly stood up! After that, he went to the inner hall to thank his father and the emperor for his grace not to kill. So he walked towards the inner palace, walking very slowly, slowly, and looking around again, as if he was looking for something!
When passing by the Imperial Garden, he saw the green skirt as he wished, which he gave her! She even wore it all the time! So he Li Yuanji saw her throbbing again!
Seeing her sad eyes, he hugged her tightly and said to her, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it! But you must believe that I will do it one day!"
His heart trembled when he saw her face full of tears, and he felt that his heart was broken! His heart hurt so much! But he didn't notice the chill in her eyes and the coldness on her face when she was hugged by him!
In the middle of the night, Li Yuan was awakened by the sobbing cry of a woman beside him, looking at her face full of tears, Li Yuan couldn't help but say with pity: "Concubine Ai, what's wrong, why are you crying?"
The woman shook her head and did not speak. It was just in the dim candlelight that Li Yuan suddenly noticed that the woman's body and arms were bruised! Li Yuan asked angrily, "What the hell is going on?"
The woman still shook her head and didn't speak! Li Yuan waved his hand, called a few palace maids, asked about today's affairs, and couldn't help but be furious, "This damn third child, he really doesn't repent, and he wants to come back again, then I'll give him a chance to come back!
The imperial concubine gently patted Li Yuan's back, her face full of worry. Li Yuan looked up and saw her face, full of relief!
The imperial concubine looked at the emperor: "That's my fault, I don't want your father and son to turn against me because of me!"
Li Yuan looked at the imperial concubine and said, "He is no longer a child, and he should be responsible for some things to the end! This is the same for him and me!"
On May 12 of that year, Li Yuanji, the king of the county, died of illness in Chang'an! On the first day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was named the prince, enjoyed the Tai Temple, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum!
