It's a pity that Li Jun continued to stabilize the throne at that time, so he chose the deep-rooted Xiao family as the object of his in-laws, and there was that circus.

The meeting between the two was Li Jun's careful planning, and from this beginning it was a scam, a scam in the name of love.

Later, Xiao Ruyan entered the harem as he wished, and Li Jun also got the support of the Xiao family as he wished, but Xiao Ruyan was full of love but didn't know who to entrust.

With Su Jinxiu's entry into the palace, Xiao Ruyan changed from a stunningly talented and glamorous noblewoman in Beijing to a jealous harem woman, burying all her youth but not in exchange for the king's pity.

The sunlight outside the hall was a little dazzling, and Li Xinghe involuntarily raised his hand to cover it. Although the sun hit his body, Li Xinghe still felt that the surroundings were abnormally cold.

This palace is a place of cannibalism, constantly burning people's lives and youth.

Li Xinghe stood quietly under the plane tree in the courtyard, and the phoenix did not live in the sycamore, and did not drink if it was not a spring. But this year, the plane tree seems to have grown old, and it is no longer as lush as it used to be.

"Your Highness, the mother is in the Buddha hall, and the slave and maid are waiting outside the hall." Standing behind Li Xinghe, he reminded.

Only then did Li Xinghe pull his thoughts back, tidy up his appearance, and stepped into the hall.

Entering this Changfeng Hall again, Li Xinghe's state of mind also has a big gap, and according to the furnishings in this hall, you can appreciate the simplicity of its owner.

The tables and chairs in the hall are all simple, and there is no difference between them and the inner rooms of ordinary people. The only difference may be that there is a Buddha statue enshrined in the depths of the hall, and incense wafting through the air.

Bypassing the desk, Li Xinghe opened the curtain and saw Xiao Ruyan kneeling on the cushion reverently, and there was a statue of Sakyamuni on the worship table.

Li Xinghe is also a little strange at this point, why there is Buddhism in this era, is it just a dynasty that has not been recorded in history.

Without waiting for Li Xinghe to think about it, Xiao Ruyan stood up and turned to face Li Xinghe.

I haven't seen her for a few days, Xiao Ruyan looks like she has aged dozens of years, her green hair has turned white, the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles, the bottom of her eyes is blue and black, and her wide plain clothes are a little ill-fitting.

Xiao Ruyan turned the Buddha beads in his hand and said straight to the point,

"The mourning family knows that you tampered with the edict of the first emperor, but what you don't know is that the mourning family and the first emperor have already had an agreement, and the mourning family will withdraw from the situation of the previous dynasty for the rest of their lives in exchange for the throne of Chengren."

Li Xinghe didn't have the slightest panic in her heart, she could be sure that Xiao Ruyan was making a deal with her this time, and as for the content of the transaction, she could only wait for the aftermath.

Xiao Ruyan carefully looked at Li Xinghe's expression, and secretly marveled, if she could have the courage and courage to tamper with the edict, Tianlan would inevitably prosper with her assistance.

In this way, I can make up for the mistakes I did before, and I can live up to the sage books I read when I was young and the earnest teachings of my father.

"The mourning family hopes that you can spare Chengren's life, whether it is to imprison him in Shangjing or exile him in a wild land, as long as he is spared. This matter will be brought to the grave by the mourning family, and what the mourning family did in the main hall a few days ago is sincerity, otherwise don't blame the palace for the death of the net. ”

Xiao Ruyan's voice carried a hint of pleading, after all, it was the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, although she was born with a noble background, it was difficult to be a Ming Jun.

Now, from the perspective of the overall situation, she can hand over the throne to others, but as a mother, she just wants her children to live.

Li Xinghe lowered his eyes and covered up the calculations in them, Li Chengren was difficult to make waves, but the Xiao family behind him was a big trouble for Li Chengde. She can bypass Lee Seung-in's life, but she has one more condition.

"After all, Li Chengren is Xinghe's brother, if he lives in peace, he can naturally enjoy his old age, but the situation in the previous dynasty is not very clear, and he still needs a little mention from the Queen Mother."

Birds in captivity can indeed live to old age, but the price to pay is freedom. For Li Chengren, there is nothing more maddening than breaking his wings and cutting off his back path.

Xiao Ruyan sighed, closed her eyes helplessly, and said,

"The father of the mourning family is the minister of the first emperor, even if he is ordered to return to his hometown, the entire Xiao family will not be lost. But the mourning family can guarantee that they will never be involved in the previous dynasty again. ”

Li Xinghe nodded but didn't reply, the Xiao family will have a chance to make a comeback if they don't get rid of Li Chengren one day, although Xiao Ruyan can guarantee that he will not interfere in the government again, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Xiao family will not fight back.

After leaving the Changfeng Palace, Li Xinghe rushed to the Taiji Palace, Yuan Qi's matter has always been a sharp sword hanging over Li Xinghe's head, and he doesn't know when he will stab down.

During the state funeral, Li Chengde's enthronement ceremony did not have time to be carried out, but he hurriedly took over the government and began his imperial career.

Wang Xi also asked Li Chengde for resignation after Li Jun's death, saying that he wanted to guard the tomb for Xianyun, and Li Chengde agreed.

It may be enough for him to be able to stay by her side in any way.

And now on duty in front of the emperor is Li Chengde's hand-picked up Wei Zhen, Wei Zhen saw that the person who came was Li Xinghe, and he hurriedly gathered the dust and greeted him.

"Where is Your Majesty now? The palace has important matters to discuss with His Majesty. ”

Li Xinghe was a little anxious, after all, this matter endangered the entire Tianlan.

If Yuan Qi took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and raised troops to come, then no matter whether this battle was won or lost, Tianlan would need a long time to recuperate. Not to mention the heavy blow to the economy, the people's lives of living and working in peace and contentment will also be disrupted.

Since ancient times, fighting a war has been the decision of the higher-ups, and the suffering of the lower-class people, so unless it is a last resort, it must not go to war.

"Your Majesty is still criticizing the folds, and the frontier is urgent, and Your Majesty's face is not very good after receiving it, and he hasn't even touched lunch."

Wei Zhen said worriedly on the side, this majesty is not in good health, and he has to work day and night, how can he stand this, and continued,

"Your Highness, let's go and persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been coughing constantly recently. The imperial doctor has come several times but has not seen any better, and it is not easy to work on state affairs. ”

After Li Xinghe heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Wei Zhen to go to Tai Hospital to ask Yuan Zheng to come to check the pulse.

Stepping into the hall, Li Xinghe saw a young man leaning down in front of the desk and writing hard, Li Chengde took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, and then looked up and saw Li Xinghe.

After putting away the veil, Li Chengde got up and greeted him, and said with a smile,

"Why didn't my sister come over and let people come to inform her, but it seems that the court is a little inconsiderate."

"Okay, what else do we need to be polite to each other. I heard Wei Zhen say that you didn't use your lunch, but something happened to the frontier. ”

Li Xinghe suppressed the unpleasant premonition in his heart and asked with a straight face.
