"Bang bang bang" The door of the cabin sounded softly, and Li Xuan, who was reading, raised his head, looked outside in surprise, and said softly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the prince, it was the crown princess who sent a bowl of lotus seed soup." Li Zhu stood outside the door and bowed down to narrate.

Li Xuan nodded and said clearly, "Send it in." ”

The curtain of the ship was lifted, and a charming maid walked in with a tray in her hand.

Seeing Li Xuan, the maid was holding the tray and blessed slightly: "Slave Jianing, I've seen the king." ”

Li Xuan nodded gently and said, "Put things down." ”

"Whoa!" Jianing placed the lotus seed soup and a few pastries on the low table in the tray.

Li Xuan glanced at it, and then said: "Please go back to the crown princess, and say that this king is grateful for the reward from His Royal Highness." Here is a secret recipe, please go back to the imperial doctor to take a look, if it is combined, take it according to the dosage. ”

Li Xuan took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve and put it on the table, on which were written seven or eight kinds of precious medicinal materials, as well as their respective dosages.

"The slave obeys." Jianing picked it up carefully, glanced at it, and then put it in her waist bag, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and gently patted her chest, which was not very undulating.

Li Xuan wanted to laugh a little, but shook his head, and still said: "If you want to find this king for anything in the future, you go directly to Wei Chi Xunyu, and he will help deliver the message." ”

"Whoa!" Jianing bowed slightly again, and then retreated.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, he was afraid that he would rarely have the opportunity to enter and leave the East Palace in the future.

killed that person, although the prince did not pursue it, but he probably didn't have a good impression of him.

But this is just right, just to cut the relationship between Li Xuan and Li Xian.

Li Xian has grown up, and he is surrounded by all kinds of people, and there is no room for Li Xuan to get involved.

Although because of his intervention, Li Xian has made many improvements, but the essence is difficult to change.

What Li Xuan did was nothing more than procrastination.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Xuan picked up the book on the table and continued to read it carefully.

On the cover of the book is written three words: Lintao Zhi.

……

The big ship returned to Chang'an, and Li Xuan waited until most of the people had left before coming out of the cabin.

Standing on the small deck, Li Xuan saw Li Xian standing on the dock at a glance.

Jumping forward slightly, a little at the edge of the stone steps of the dock, Li Xuan had already jumped in front of Li Xian in a blink of an eye, clapped his hands, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you go back?" ”

"Uncle Wang, it's not that San Lang didn't go back, but he turned back halfway through and came back to pick up Uncle Wang." Li Xian smiled a little bitterly and said: "When I was on the dock, the second brother didn't mention Uncle Wang at all, so he went back to the East Palace directly, and he had a cold attitude towards everyone, to Xian, to Shiro, and even to the imperial sister-in-law. ”

Li Xuan glanced around, and then said, "Let's go, let's get in the car first." ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Xian immediately came over, and then hurriedly asked Li Xuan to get into the carriage.

Li Xuan glanced back and saw that Li Zhu had already blended into the guards of the British Palace, so he was relieved.

"Brother Huang is really, isn't it just a plaything that killed him, as for that?" Li Xian suddenly couldn't help but complain.

Since that night, Li Xuan killed the man in black who didn't know the origin of his identity, the next day Li Xian woke up, and after knowing what happened, he didn't go out for two days.

Li Xuan naturally knew that all this was because of him, in fact, it was not just because Li Xuan killed the man in black, but more importantly, it was Li Xuan who drugged Li Xian, a drug that stimulated the vitality of life, and was used on Li Xian and the crown princess Fang.

But it's a pity that the couple got along with each other for the past three days, and after that, the crown prince Li Xian directly avoided the crown princess.

At this scene, not only Li Xuan frowned, but anyone who saw it also frowned.

Why is that?

Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Just talk about these words between you and me, don't say them to the outside world...... Prince, the prince's affairs, let's not interfere anymore, everything is up to the arrangements of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, what you need to pay attention to now is your business. ”

Looking at Li Xuan's solemn expression, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked softly: "Uncle Wang, you said that this time my father asked me and Shiro to go to Lintao, what is the purpose?" ”

"Let's press the formation." Li Xuan took a deep breath and said, "The 80,000 army has its own commander, but it is inevitable that there will be people who are not convinced. In the first battle of Dafeichuan that year, Guo Zhifeng did not follow the order of Pingyang County and arbitrarily changed the time of the march, which finally led to the flaws of the army, which was defeated by the Qinling Tomb, and tens of thousands of troops were destroyed in one fell swoop.

His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven are probably also guarding against the recurrence of the events of that day. ”

Li Xian's eyebrows jumped, how could he not know the risks of the army moving forward.

Although Lintao is in the rear, it is actually not far from the front line, or even from Dafeichuan, and it may fall into a dangerous situation at any time.

"Uncle Wang, you say, who will be the commander of these armies?" Li Xian couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Li Xuan took a light breath, and then said: "The commander of the army who can use you and King Xiang as a symbol will at least be a figure like Wenxi Jungong." ”

Wenxi County Prince, Military Department Shangshu Pei Xingjian, Pingyang County Prince, Acting Prefecture Governor Xue Rengui.

Li Xuan paused slightly, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid that the Duke of Pingyang County will stay in Daizhou and stare at the Eastern Turkic tribes to prevent the Turks from making any more moves when the army is at war with Tubo, but if the commander is the Duke of Wenxi County, the sooner this matter is arranged, the better, why is it still kept secret to this day." ”

Li Xuan didn't understand that the matter of the commander of the army should not be too secretive.

After all, with the commander of the army, all aspects of the front line can be quickly spread.

"Isn't Wenxi County Duke the commander of the army?" Li Xian glanced at Li Xuan casually, and then saw that Li Xuan's face was completely cold.

……

Li Xuan wore a crimson official robe and waited outside the Zichen Palace.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, he was immediately announced by the holy decree to the Zichen Palace.

However, he should have been summoned in as soon as he arrived, but at this moment, in the Zichen Palace, there was a clear sound of crackling, and one by one things were smashed to the ground, as if someone was venting his anger coldly.

Not to mention Li Xuan, even when he announced the summoning of the servants, his face was embarrassed and worried, and he didn't even dare to go in to reply to the order.

Li Xuan's face was a little solemn, in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are very few people who can make Empress Wu so angry, what happened.

At this moment, the roar of the martial queen came from the hall: "You go, you go in person, you go in person now, you go and escort that beast here in person?" ”

"Whoa!" There was a faint sound of promise in the hall, followed by a rush of footsteps from inside.

However, the footsteps soon became gentle, and a figure in a purple robe appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

At the same time that Li Xuan saw him, he also saw Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was the first to react, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Xiaguan Li Xuan, I have seen Pei Gong." ”

Pei Yan nodded, looked at Li Xuan, bowed his hand slightly, and then said calmly: "It turned out to be the king of Nanchang, the queen of heaven is still waiting, the king of Nanchang please!" ”

"Pei Gong, please!" Li Xuan bowed, and then watched Pei Yan leave the Zichen Hall and head towards the palace gate.

Li Xuan turned to look at the waiter on the side, the waiter had already reacted, with a wry smile on his face, glanced at Li Xuan, and then walked towards the hall lightly.

Li Xuan stood in front of the hall, but his eyes gradually became playful.

The seeds that were planted before, now bloom.

After a while, a voice came from the hall: "The Queen Mother has an order, and the King of Xuan Nanchang will meet you." ”

After Li Xuan took a deep breath, he walked into the Zichen Hall solemnly and steadily.

In a very short period of time, the Zichen Hall had been cleaned up, and only in the most remote corner, there was still a little celadon fragment left.

Li Xuan saluted respectfully: "The king of Nanchang, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, Li Xuan, meet the queen of heaven." ”

"Excuse me!" Empress Wu raised her eyes to look at Li Xuan and asked coldly, "King Nanchang, do you know what happened to the mother and son of the Leng family?" ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, looked up a little stunned, and asked, "Is the queen of heaven talking about the mother and son of the Leng family who were killed a few years ago?" ”

Empress Wu nodded faintly, but the look on her face was very unsightly.

Li Xuan's face was full of surprise, and then he arched his hand and said: "After the Enlightenment, if the minister remembers this matter correctly, it should be Leng Yan who borrowed a high loan and resold the goods from Hangzhou, and finally others died on the road, and the goods were detained by the Criminal Department, causing the Leng family to not pay the money, so the people behind the loan stickers forced their mother and son to hang themselves." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "If Ruochen remembers correctly, their mother and son should have looked for Pei Shangshu before the accident, so after the death of the mother and son, Pei Shangshu suffered a lot of rumors, but there was no progress after this matter." ”

Empress Wu looked at Li Xuan and didn't speak, Li Xuan stood in the hall, arching her hands, her expression calm, as if she didn't know what was going on behind her.

Empress Wu finally nodded and said softly: "It seems that you haven't cared about this matter for too long, the matter of the Leng family is indeed Leng Scale's greed for money and usury, which eventually led to the destruction of the family, but behind the forced hanging of the Leng family's mother and son, there are people manipulating."

The person who put usury was later found to have hanged himself at home, and after the Criminal Department sent someone to investigate, the palace originally thought that it was the hand of those old families in Chang'an, but today, the Criminal Department has found out the reason. ”

Li Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask the queen of heaven, who is the person behind this?" ”

"It's the heir, the heir, the heir!" Empress Wu slapped directly on the table, her eyes full of annoyance.

"Huh?" Li Xuan's eyes widened instantly, but soon, he lowered his head and arched his hand: "Queen of Heaven, could it be a mistake, although the minister doesn't know much about Zhou Guogong, but after a few contacts, he also knows that he is cautious, how can he easily get involved in such a thing?" ”

Seeing that Li Xuan had been helping Wu Chengsi speak, a trace of doubt in Empress Wu's heart was completely dissipated, and then he saw Empress Wu waving his hand, gritting his teeth and saying: "This matter was found out by those people in the Criminal Department day and night, the evidence is conclusive, this palace wants to take a look, he will come in a while, what will he say?" ”

Secretary and supervisor, Wu Chenghei.

Of course, Li Xuan knew that the person who was hiding behind some backs and trying to frame Li Xuan, Li Jingye and Pei Yan was Wu Chenghe.

But he never said it to anyone, just secretly made some reminder arrangements.

Now that Pei Yan has found out the truth himself, as long as Pei Yan can justify himself, there will be many people who believe it after that.

What's more, this is the truth in the first place.

Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, Empress Wu waved her hand directly and said: "Don't talk about this matter, let's talk about your trip to Lishan, do you think the crown princess can give birth to the first eldest grandson of this palace?" ”

Li Xuan shook his head directly, and said cautiously: "In response to the Queen of Heaven, in this matter, the minister is just doing his best to serve His Majesty, the Queen of Heaven and the crown prince, but after one night, whether there is an heir born or not, the minister does not dare to say nonsense." But presumably, after the events of that day, the prince and the princess have more contact, and there will be many more opportunities in the future. ”

"Really?" Empress Wu tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Xuan, with a complex look in her eyes.

When Li Xian has a child, everything will slow down, and the conflict between him and the Empress Wu will not be so intense.

This is what Empress Wu wants to see.

Li Xian is her son after all, and now she has no intention of killing him.
