Li Mobai tore at the roll of sheepskin sewn with blood stains on his underwear.

The stitches it stitched were very dense, and it was difficult for manpower to tear it off completely, and Li Mobai finally used a dagger to break the threads before stripping him from his clothes.

He scrubbed the blood stains on his chest with clean water, and after changing his clothes again, he called out the door: "Sanfu." ”

Soon, Sanfu pushed open the door with sleepy eyes, "Your Majesty, wake up early." The slave was confused last night, I don't know if it was because he had been on the road for a long time or how, the vigil slept under the porch and fell asleep. ”

Li Mobai glanced at the outside of the hall casually, and Sanfu's bed was messily placed at the door, and he slept against the door of the palace.

Therefore, the person who sewed this sheepskin with blood on his body should not have entered through the main entrance.

He glanced out of the window again, the Zen room where he lived was built on the edge of a cliff, and outside the window was an abyss, unless the thief had wings and could fly, it was absolutely impossible to enter through the window.

So...... There's only one way.

He looked up, glanced at the roof tiles, and was silent.

Today, the memorial process to accompany the Queen Mother is in full swing, and for fear that the Queen Mother will be worried, Li Mobai did not say anything about it.

It's just that there are twice as many guards to keep them safe.

The Queen Mother thought that worshipping the Buddha and worshiping the ancestors should be a pure thing, and so many people followed it to destroy piety, so she said:

"The emperor let these people disperse half, the mourning family doesn't like a lot of people, and they are all black guards at a glance, where can they calm down and worship the Buddha?"

Li Mobai openly agreed to the Queen Mother, and secretly ordered Chu Yuezhi to change into a secret guard for protection.

Although he knew that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, if he wanted his life, then he had a chance to do it last night.

Such a cat-and-mouse game is very much like the handiwork of the person behind the scenes, so what exactly is he going to do?

Chu Yuezhi saw that Li Mobai was inappropriate, and only waited for the matter of completing the daytime worship of the Buddha, and then went to worship the ancestors and ancestors after lunch, and then went to worship the ancestors and ancestors, so he went to find Li Mobai.

Li Mobai expected him to come, or rather, he had been waiting for Chu Yuezhi to come early in the morning.

When he came, there was a roll of parchment on the pine table in the meditation room.

The blood letters written on it are particularly conspicuous, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Chu Yuezhi followed and read it again: "叄, 柒, 捌, Jiu; First, heart, chop, broken? Your Majesty, this thing is ......"

"How many secret guards did you arrange last night to protect me and my mother = Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother's meditation room is in the vestibule, and a total of twelve people are arranged. The emperor's meditation room is on the cloud cliff, and a total of sixteen people are arranged. ”

"Where are the sixteen?"

"They are all guarding the only entrance to the Cloud Cliff. This place is a single road cliff, and only the front can be entered and exited on all sides of the meditation room. Sanfu's father-in-law kept vigil in front of the door at night, and the secret guard patrolled a little farther away from him. ”

Li Mobai raised his finger and pointed to the roof, and said suddenly: "Your people, their eyes are not bright." ”

Chu Yuezhi probably guessed what Li Mobai was suspicious, so he turned around and left the meditation room, and jumped up to the roof with light effort.

After a while, he turned back to the meditation room and knelt in front of Li Mobai with one leg bent and fists in his hands, "The emperor forgives the sin, and Weichen deserves to die." ”

"Get up." Li Mobai raised his hand to him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation above?" ”

"There are obvious signs that the tiles have been turned, and Wei Chen probably compared, if the offender's light skills are good enough, he can sneak into the room through the gap exposed by removing the tiles from the roof. If you want to leave, you can use the table and chair from the room to jump to the roof. ”

"Which of his kung fu is stronger or weaker than yours?"

Chu Yuezhi thought for a moment and said bluntly, "Such a light skill, Weichen is ashamed of himself." ”

Li Mobai stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said solemnly: "What does he want to do?" ”

"This parchment was left by the man? The emperor suspects that he is behind the scenes? ”

"I have seen the black ash burned out in the incense burner, and it is obvious that there are unburned lumpy spices in it, which should be a very weak incense."

"That Weichen immediately went to check and saw who prepared the incense burner."

"Not necessarily." Li Mobai stopped him, "If he can do this, he won't let you find out useful clues." If the matter is big, the queen mother will definitely know, don't let her be frightened. ”

In the afternoon, the group traveled from Izumo Temple to the Imperial Mausoleum.

When he arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum, Lingcheng had already taken care of everything.

The Queen Mother and Li Mobai knelt in front of the spiritual throne of the ancestors and ancestors, and felt a lot of emotion.

"Now that the Li family has a post, the society of the country can be extended, and everything depends on the shadow of the ancestors."

"I wish the family to make a big mistake, hating the mistake is difficult to reverse, and the sinner girl has a responsibility that cannot be escaped."

"I just ask for the blessing of the ancestors and the ancestors, and Concubine Rong can give birth to a child safely, so that the sinner girl is not worthy of the ancestors and the ancestors."

She kowtowed to the ancestral tablet, how many of the ingredients were played for Li Mobai, he didn't know how to tell.

Only after she finished worshipping did she take Li Mobai's hand and said earnestly: "The mourning family is dedicated to the royal bloodline, and they have to quarrel with the emperor for a few words. Concubine Rong's children are good, and twins are also a rare blessing. But in the end, Concubine Rong's identity is embarrassing, and the child she gave birth to is only the eldest son, not the son-in-law. The queen is still here, and the emperor should have had his own son-in-law. Hence ......"

"It is a bit inappropriate for the queen mother to say this in front of her ancestors."

Li Mobai cut off her words softly, "I am a concubine, the first emperor is a concubine, and Emperor Taizu is also a concubine." Emperor Taizong's biological mother is also the step-empress, so it can be seen that the concubines are only distinguished from the inferior, and it does not affect who can inherit the Li family. ”

The Queen Mother was choked by Li Mobai's sentence, her face was a little ugly, and she stopped talking.

Li Mobai comforted her and said: "The queen mother only needs to take care of her body and take care of her life." As soon as Concubine Rong's child lands, you will have a grandson, and you will tease your grandson every day, and you will have less heart that you shouldn't worry about, and you will be happy. ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "That's it, the emperor will do it himself." ”

She turned and walked out, "You should have a lot to say to the first emperor, and the mourning family is waiting for you outside." ”

To be honest, Li Mobai and the first emperor didn't have much to say.

The first emperor has always been interested in the eight princes as emperors, if he knew that after his death, Li Mobai became the emperor in the end, most of them would have complaints.

But in the end, he was Li Mobai's father, and he still knelt respectfully in front of the tablet and kowtowed.

"Father, my son has not disgraced you when he took over the Li family."

"Nanban, Shurong, and Xiliang have all been pacified, and if we are in Changping today, we will see you in the prosperous world."

"I don't know my son, the emperor, are you satisfied with watching under Jiuquan?"

'Bang'

A muffled sound interrupted Li Mobai's words.

The tablet of the Emperor in the center fell heavily in front of him without being touched by anyone, breaking in half.
