Chapter 275: Life and Death Go Together

On this day, Li Shimin coincided with the court meeting, and Guanyin had nothing to do, so she spread a reed mat under the shade of the Qinglu, sipping tea and reading a book.

Guanyin was just looking at her mind when she suddenly heard Zhanhua saying "The wind is blowing", and when she came back to her senses, she could already feel the wind blowing sharply, stirring her dress.

------

In the middle of summer, there is always a sudden change in the situation.

Guanyin looked up at the sky, the sun was scorching just now, and now it is full of clouds, and a new wind and rain is brewing.

She stood up, put on her shoes, and stood on the ground.

Hsinchu and Zhanhua came over, saying "I'm going down", and hurriedly put away the reed mat on the ground.

------

Then the wind became stronger, but Guanyin was not in a hurry to enter the house, and Guanyin, who grew up in the courtyard of the deep house, wanted to feel the scene of the rain in the countryside.

She looked up at the back of the house, the branches of the bamboo tree rose and fell in the wind, the bamboo leaves rustled, and from time to time small dead branches fell from the tree.

Guanyin faced the wind, walked to the fence, and let the wind dance her skirt and blow her hair.

The trees on the other side of the canal were dancing wildly in the wind, and a gust of wind blew in front of her, choking Guanyin's maid out of breath.

------

Rain, as soon as it is said.

In an instant, the raindrops the size of beans crackled down and smashed on the ground, raising a faint amount of dust.

Hsinchu and Zhanhua saw that Guanyin was still standing stupidly next to the fence, afraid that she would be drenched in the rain, so the two ran over and pulled Guanyin into the house.

Guanyin was childlike, holding her wind-blown hair with one hand, pressing the wind-blown long skirt with the other, and following Hsinchu and Zhanhua to run under the eaves of the house in small steps, giggling as she ran.

Running and running, the rain was urgent, and when I stood under the eaves, the rain had already wet the sarcas.

------

Standing under the eaves of Xiamen, Guanyin was not in a hurry to enter the house, but stood there to watch the rain.

The wind passed, but the rain did not stop, and in a blink of an eye, the courtyard was full of water, and the raindrops the size of beans fell, and blisters rose on the water surface.

The rain began to live underground, Guanyin simply asked Hsinchu and Zhanhua to spread the reed mat in the door, and she watched the rain while watching the two of them become female red.

------

The rain continued for an hour, and the heat had been relieved.

Although it rained heavily, there was not much water in the courtyard, and it all flowed down the slope of the courtyard to the ditch in front.

When the rain stopped, there was no water in the courtyard, and the dust on the road was washed away by the rain, except for a few leaves and a few stump branches.

-----

In the afternoon, Li Shimin returned to Qinglu from Taiji Palace, and Hsinchu and Zhanhua served him to take off his court clothes and change into civilian clothes.

She looked at Guanyin, who was sitting on the bed by the window, and said with a smile, "The outside is cooler than the inside of the house, and there is a fresh smell everywhere, so we might as well go to the garden for a walk."

Guanyin followed Li Shimin out of the house and stepped on the cobblestone-paved road to the small bridge.

-----

Although the rain stopped for a while, the sky was still very gloomy, and it seemed that there would be another one again soon.

Li Shimin and Guanyin walked on the small bridge, after the heavy rain, the canal under the bridge flowed very fast, and the turbid canal water was mixed with dead leaves and stump branches.

Li Shimin stood on the bridge, looking at the canal flowing eastward, showing a resolute face, and he said in a low voice, "The time to go to Renzhi Palace has been set, it is the third day of the sixth month, exactly ten days away from today."

"Grandpa ordered the eldest brother to stay in Chang'an, and the fourth brother and I went to the Phoenix Valley Renzhi Palace with him."

------

Guanyin heard that Li Shimin was going to leave Chang'an with Li Yuan, although she was a little reluctant in her heart, but it was common for Li Shimin to go out to fight in recent years, and she was used to such a parting.

Besides, this time it was not to go to war, Guanyin was a little less worried, she comforted Li Shimin and said, "Brother Shimin, just go, Ah Wan will take care of everything in Hongyi Palace."

------

Li Shimin held the bridge railing, looked into the distance, and said slowly, "I am a little uneasy about leaving Beijing this time, according to the information I have, the eldest brother and the fourth brother may take this opportunity to do a big thing."

Guanyin asked suspiciously, "Since Brother Shimin has heard the rumors, why don't you want to stop it?"

Li Shimin retracted his gaze and smiled faintly at Guanyin, "Not only will I not stop it, but I hope they will make things bigger."

With that, he turned around and walked to the other end of the bridge.

------

Guanyin followed Li Shimin to the south, stepped on the pebble road on the south bank of the canal, and asked softly, "What is Brother Shimin's plan in mind?"

Li Shimin walked forward slowly, looked at no one outside, turned his face to Guanyin and said, "Only when the eldest brother makes things big and provokes Grandpa, Grandpa will be ruthless. Otherwise, in the matter of the abolition of the crown prince, Grandpa will continue to drag on."

"But in this way, you are particularly dangerous in the capital."

------

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Guanyin did not panic, she knew that since Li Shimin dared to leave his wife and children in Chang'an, he must have a way to deal with it when he left Beijing with Li Yuan alone.

She asked Li Shimin with a calm expression, "Before you leave, what arrangements will Jingzhong make?"

Li Shimin walked forward slowly and said softly, "The garrison of the Twelve Guards in Beijing can be mobilized without the warrants of Grandpa and me. Although the eldest brother is the crown prince, he does not have the talisman to mobilize the army. All he can mobilize is the guards of the East Palace."

"Before I leave, I will transfer three thousand guards to Hongyi Palace, Duan Zhishu will be the main one, Ding Jikan will be the deputy, and I will also arrange for Ah Zhan and Ah Yan to stay behind."

"If the eldest brother arranges for the guards of the East Palace to attack Hongyi Palace, you only need to hold on in the palace, and you don't need to go out of the palace to fight them. With his thousands of people, he can't attack Hongyi Palace at all."

------

Guanyin asked Li Shimin, "Are you sure that Brother Shimin will attack Hongyi Palace?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, "I estimate that there are some possibilities, but the possibilities are not very large, but we have to guard against them."

Li Shimin's heart is very conflicted, he wants Li Jiancheng to make things bigger, but also worries that he will completely lose his mind. So, he had to prepare for the worst.

------

Li Shimin and Guanyin walked on the pebble road, walking through the forest, and suddenly a drop of water fell and hit Guanyin's face.

She was startled, looked up at the branches above her head, and saw the green leaves, which looked exceptionally fresh and bright green after a torrential rain.

Guanyin whispered to herself, "After the wind and rain, this leaf is washed to make it more tender and green."

Li Shimin also touched the scene with affection, and said meaningfully, "Reform the old and make the new, it is inevitable to experience a baptism of wind and rain."

------

At this time, the competition for the position of the crown prince has reached a critical moment.

There are some things, Li Shimin doesn't want to hide from Guanyin anymore, he wants to tell Guanyin all the arrangements and deployments for the past few days, so that she can know it in his heart.

The two walked slowly, and Li Shimin told Guanyin his plans and practices.

------

Guanyin listened quietly, occasionally asking a sentence or two, and the more she listened, the more she realized the bloody cruelty of the deceit above the temple and the struggle for power.

Being in the emperor's house, caught in the whirlpool of power struggles, often involuntarily, sad is that sometimes not fighting is death, fighting is also death.

Think about the five sons of Emperor Wen of Sui, three sons were framed by Yang Guang and died, one son rebelled and died in defeat, and Yang Guang, who fought for the throne, was killed by Yu Wenhua.

Thinking of this, Guanyin didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't dare to imagine what kind of ending Li Yuan's three adult sons would have in the end.

------

In the evening, the rain outside the house began to fall sparsely, and it was not as rapid as during the day.

Li Shimin and Guanyin sat at the head of the bed and read a book, then turned off the lamp and candle and rested early.

Guanyin's heart was still haunted by the cruel and bloody battles of the royal family, and bloody scenes appeared in her mind, she couldn't think about it, but she couldn't stop.

In the darkness of the night, she looked at the top of the tent, dazed. She couldn't help but think about the worst possible outcome.

------

What if Li Shimin loses the battle for succession?

What would that look like?

Will she survive on her own? What about Li Shimin's concubine and this group of children?

Guanyin remembered the picture of Yang Guang's son being cut into two with a knife.

At that time, Yang Guang saw the tragic death of his beloved son, and his heart must have been cut like a knife, but he was at a loss and helpless.

------

Li Shimin saw that Guanyin had been quiet without a sound, turned around and gently hugged her in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "What is Awen thinking?"

Guanyin didn't move, and said sadly, "If Brother Shimin has three longs and two shorts, how can Awen live?"

Li Shimin comforted him warmly, "Auntie, don't worry, we have all rushed through the sword mountain and the sea of fire over the years, which time is not more dangerous than now?" Think about the people that Brother Brother defeated, which one is not more difficult to deal with than Brother Brother?"

------

Guanyin begged Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, you have to think about this group of children and maids from time to time, and you must be extra careful every step you take, if you make the slightest mistake, your wife and children may be in a different place."

Li Shimin blamed, "Auntie is not allowed to talk nonsense, don't say these unlucky words."

Guanyin sighed faintly, "Ah Wan is reminding the people of the world to think carefully about everything, don't be righteous, you have to remember that our family lives and dies together."

"From tomorrow onwards, Ah Wan will bring poison with her, and if there is an accident with Brother Shimin, Ah Wan will never live alone, and I will go with you."

After Guanyin spoke, she stopped talking, and tears couldn't help but flow out of her eyes.

------

Li Shimin saw that Guanyin no longer spoke, he leaned his head towards Guanyin, pressed against Guanyin's cheek, suddenly felt her face wet, and asked in surprise, "Auntie is crying?"

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Guanyin's tears could no longer be stopped, and then she couldn't help sobbing.
