Li Shimin did not ride a horse on the way down the mountain. Walking quietly on a forest path, in the mountains, the whole body is comfortable. But Pei Wenjing's death was still like a thick fog, haunting his heart, and he couldn't drive it away.

The wild goose is flying, and its feathers are suppressed. In the twilight rain, a goose traverses the clouds alone, crying out sadly for its lost companion.

Li Shimin originally had very accurate archery, he skillfully set up arrows and aimed, and when the arrow was on the string and at the last moment, he still put the bow and arrow back. Because he saw his own shadow in the body of the lonely goose, he would not let the lonely goose die under his arrows.

When Li Shimin returned to Chang'an City, he had the feeling that "the years in the mountains are easy, and the world has been prosperous for thousands of years", and the quiet and quiet in the mountains is in stark contrast to the noisy and rich Chang'an. failed to save Pei Wenjing, Pei Zimu still had to save it. What's more, this is Pei Wenjing's deathbed entrustment.

After Mrs. Pei begged, Li Shimin sent people all over Chang'an City to look for people of the same age as Pei Zimu who were terminally ill. Now just wait for Li Shimin to send the silver taels, and the other party can hand it over.

Li Shimin went back to the palace to get two taels of silver, and brought an entourage to the house that his subordinates had found. The family was not wealthy, with mud walls, a roof made of thatch and green tiles, and a low, low, earthen walled courtyard that was not very large, and two chickens were kept in a bamboo fence in one corner of the courtyard. The door was not closed, but Li Shimin still ordered his entourage to knock on the door. When the two stepped on the threshold, a gray-haired old woman heard the voice and greeted them: "You are ......"

"Madam, hello, I'm Li Shimin."

"You are His Royal Highness the King of Qin." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and salute.

Li Shimin hurriedly helped the old man up.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, sit in the house."

At this time, an old man also came out. The old woman hurriedly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness King Qin." The old man knelt down and saluted.

Li Shimin helped Lao Su up and asked, "Is Lingzi at home?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The dog is resting in bed. Lao Suo replied.

"What kind of disease is Reiko suffering from?"

The old woman replied: "It's a wind disease. Often dizzy, speech is unfavorable, walking unsteadily, and fainting at every turn. ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Suffering from this disease at a young age is really painful for the second elder." ”

The two old men did not respond, and led Li Shimin to his son's bedside. "Your Highness, this is the little Qin Huaiying."

Qin Huaiying half-opened his eyes and saw someone coming, so he cheered up and sat up.

"Huaiying, this is His Royal Highness the King of Qin." The old woman moved a stool over and asked Li Shimin to sit down. Qin Huaiying struggled to get up, intending to salute King Qin.

Li Shimin saw that he was struggling, so he said: "It's free, it's inconvenient for you." After speaking, he motioned to his entourage and put out a box of silver taels. If it weren't for his helplessness, this king would never have taken out money to buy his life, what a shame! ”

Qin Huaiying turned over and said: "Your Royal Highness King Qin, you are too polite, I have an incurable disease, this crippled body is not long in life anyway, and the family has not saved any money or silver, thanks to Your Highness, you can ensure that the two parents will have no worries about food and clothing in the future." ”

Li Shimin turned his head and handed the token to the two old men, and said to them: "After Huaiying goes, your second elder will take me as a son, this is the token of the Qin Palace. ”

Hearing this, the two quickly knelt down: "His Royal Highness King Qin, how dare you do this?" ”

Li Shimin hurriedly helped up the two old men: "Old man, please get up." How not to dare to be, this is how it should be. Then he looked at Qin Huaiying again and said, "It's just Huaiying's body, can you stand up?" Qin Huaiying struggled to get dressed, got out of bed, and stood up: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I can, I will go with His Highness." The attendant stepped forward to help. A group of people walked out of the courtyard gate, Qin Huaiying looked back at the two old men, knelt down and kowtowed three times. The old woman stepped forward, her eyes were full of tears, and she shouted, "Son! ”

After saying goodbye, Li Shimin sent people directly to Pei's mansion. Mrs. Pei was also very anxious about Pei Zimu, and when she saw that King Qin had arrived, she invited Li Shimin to the main hall and entertained her with tea. Li Shimin sat on the stool and said, "Mrs. Pei, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." At the moment, it is important to save Lingzi's life, this person's name is Qin Huaiying. When you go to the cell to claim the body, you use this person to exchange Zimu out. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life. It's just that this plan will bury hidden dangers, and once the matter is revealed, His Highness will inevitably be implicated. Moreover, this person's life is also a life after all. Mrs. Pei was deeply worried.

"Madame, don't worry, Qin Huaiying has a terminal illness, and when it is serious, she has to be paralyzed in bed. Pei Zimu's matter needs to be further investigated, and it is important to save his life at the moment. Li Shimin took a sip of tea, and then said: "This king will further investigate the matter of Lingzi, and he will not die for his crimes." The king has been dotted everywhere, and the cell has been dredged, and when he goes with the king, it will be foolproof. ”

Mrs. Pei looked at the listless Qin Huaiying, and felt a little less guilty and worried in her heart.
