East Palace, inside the Yichun Palace.

Li Xuan pressed her hands on the crown princess's right wrist, lowered her head, and her eyes were slightly closed, carefully observing.

After a while, Li Xuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Raising his head and looking at Li Xian and Princess Taiping on the side, Li Xuan said with a gentle smile: "The pulse of the crown princess is stable and powerful, it seems that the fetus is stable, if nothing else, the day of birth should be on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, or the first day of the first month." ”

"Why the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month?" Princess Taiping took the lead in asking before Li Xian and the crown princess.

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at the crown princess who was a little nervous, but extremely calm, and smiled and reassured: "Because the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month are the most lively days of the year, even if the palace is stable, the New Year's Qi of the entire Chang'an will affect and promote the appearance of the fetus, which is a good thing." ”

"I see." The crown princess said softly, and then looked at Li Xian on the side expectantly.

Li Xian smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, lady, everything will be ready, not to mention that Uncle Wang is also in Beijing, everything is fine." ”

The situation on the night of Princess Nanchang's birth, others don't know, but the emperor, Empress Wu and the crown prince, who care about the situation of the crown princess, are very clear.

Li Xuan's three boxes, no matter what they contained, as long as they can be copied, they can play a positive role in the normal production of the crown princess.

……

"There are three boxes, the first of which is a pill to enhance the physical strength of pregnant women, which needs to be used when pregnant women have insufficient physical strength to give birth."

Li Xuan of the East Palace Garden Pavilion took out a small box from his arms, turned sideways to block the view of others, handed it to Li Xian, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, keep this one yourself, and if the minister can't come when there is something, use this one for Your Highness; If the minister arrives, then use the one that the minister carries with him at that time, and this one will be discarded. ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, and then saw Li Xuan's eyes with an extremely uneasy look, and he nodded solemnly.

If Li Xuan was stumped, then the pill in Li Xian's arms was the last life-saving means, and he had to keep it properly.

If Li Xuan arrives in time, then the pill in Li Xian's arms must be discarded.

Because during the period of time that Li Xian kept it, it was very likely that the pills would be transferred.

Only what Li Xuan carries with him is the safest.

After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "If the minister can't arrive at that time, and His Royal Highness doesn't have confidence in the pill he takes, then go and ask the family teacher, and the family teacher Xuanzang Zhenren has a pill in his hand, which can save people in time." ”

Medicine King Wei Xuanzang is the last hole card method, and he can't use it easily, but when it comes to the last resort, he has to use it, because he himself is prepared to deal with the most extreme means.

"The second box." Li Xuan's expression softened, and he said in a low voice: "At that time, the minister wrote a paragraph of "Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai", which was delivered to Sanniang's hands, and in the end, it was successfully produced without using the third box. ”

"I remember that Uncle Wang also wrote a poem at that time: There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is clear." Li Xian shook his head and said with emotion: "Uncle Wang is literary and romantic, and there are few people in the world. ”

"Your Highness is polite, if it weren't for His Highness's writing not being displayed in front of the ministers, otherwise where would there be a time to show off." Li Xuan smiled slightly bitterly.

Li Xian's literary talent is definitely not low, there are the most literary teachers and professors in the world, how bad can he be.

It's just that as a prince, he rarely has the opportunity to show off, so he is not known to the world.

"Uncle Wang doesn't have to be modest, he is self-aware." Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Although Lone has the ability to fly first, his talent is far from first-class, and he is much worse than Uncle Wang. ”

"Your Highness is like this, but it's a shame to be a minister." Li Xuan smiled bitterly and gave up his hand, but then stood up and said solemnly: "There is also the third box." ”

At the mention of the third box, Li Xian's expression became solemn.

It's just the rest, this last box is likely to be a real life-saver.

Li Xuan looked at Li Xian and said directly: "What is in the third box, the minister can't tell His Highness, but the third box is an extremely dangerous thing, and it can't be used until the moment of life and death, so on the day of production, even if the minister can't arrive, His Royal Highness will immediately send someone to the palace to get it after the princess takes the pill, and it will still come in time, unless it ......"

"Unless what?" Li Xian subconsciously asked.

"Unless the entire Peng Wangfu has been razed to the ground by fire." Li Xuan's expression calmly said the most unlikely possibility.

Li Xian was stunned, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Why is this, Uncle Wang said with a smile, the place where the royal family of Kaihuafang gathers, why is it here." ”

The moment he waved his hand, Li Xian quickly thought about how Li Xuan would be burned by someone if he was extremely loyal to the imperial court and had never acted excessively.

In fact, Li Xian knew in his heart that in the entire Chang'an City, the only people who had the ability to burn down King Peng's Mansion were the emperor and the Empress Wu.

Li Xuan said lightly: "Actually, what the minister is worried about is not the present, nor the future, some things, at this time, have seen the shadow of the sword." ”

With a sentence of "sword light and sword shadow", Li Xian suddenly fell silent.

In Chang'an, what can endanger the sword and shadow of the royal family, what else can it be, the battle for succession, and the change of Xuanwu Gate.

Xuanwu Gate, the most important choke point of the Tang royal family.

Many people only know that the Xuanwumen Change, only Taizong Emperor Li Shimin killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the later Li Longji broke into the Xuanwumen to kill the Wei Hou Party, but few people know that there are other four failed Xuanwumen Changes.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin cut the domain, and Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an, opposed it, raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, and was directly arrested by Cheng Yanjin in the north of Xuanwu Gate, and was later beheaded.

In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled, intending to break into the Xuanwu Gate, taking advantage of the instability of the prince Li Chengqian's East Palace, to kill Li Shimin and rebel, but unfortunately, Li You had not yet killed the Xuanwu Gate, and he had not even killed Chang'an, and he had already been captured.

Li You, the king of Qi, failed to rebel, but implicated the crown prince Li Chengqian's intention to rebel.

Before Li Chengqian raised his army, Li Shimin completely arrested him and a group of henchmen.

There is also a later generation, before Li Longji raised troops to attack Xuanwu Gate, Li Chongjun, the prince of Zhongzong, wanted to attack Wei and then invaded the west, surrounded the Xuanwu Gate Tower, and was killed in failure.

……

Li Xuan doesn't mention Xuanwu Gate in every word, but every word seems to mention Xuanwu Gate.

Li Xian's heart couldn't help but rise, and he immediately said with a calm face: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Chang'an will be fine." ”

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Prime Minister's Mansion was almost burned down." Li Xuan lowered his head and avoided Li Xian's gaze.

Li Xian was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, and said directly: "I heard that Uncle Wang has found out that it was done by the British government. ”

"The minister didn't find the British duke, nor did he find anyone, and that matter has been completely closed." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Li Xian deeply.

Li Xian's eyebrows raised instantly, according to the news he obtained, Li Xuan had obviously found out the steward of the British Mansion, how could he say that it had been closed now?

With a move in his heart, Li Xian turned his head to look in the direction of Zichen Hall and Penglai Hall.

At this time, there are only two people who can end this matter like this.

Li Xuan didn't wait for Li Xian to continue thinking, and then said: "Tomorrow, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the three divisions will try the British public-private case of Tubo. ”

Li Xian was stunned.

The emperor no longer pursued Li Jingye's burning of the Xiangwang Mansion, after all, that incident did not cause any actual harm.

However, the emperor began to investigate Li Jingye's fornication with Tibet.

The previous incident had exhausted the personal relationship left by Li Quan, so in the case of fornicating with Tibet, the emperor and the Empress Wu had decided to stay out of it.

In other words, Li Jingye's life depends on the outcome of the next case.

Li Xian sighed lightly, turned around and took a few steps forward, and Li Xuan hurriedly followed.

Looking at the frozen lake in the garden, Li Xian said softly: "Uncle Wang may not know, before Uncle Wang returned to Beijing, the British Duke had already asked someone to come to the East Palace to intercede for the smuggling of Tibet. ”

"Who?" Li Xuan's question was unusually direct.

Li Xian spoke, naturally hoping that Li Xuan could let Li Jingye go a little.

It's one thing to let go or not, Li Xuan must know who that person is now?

"It's the prince of Pingyang." Li Xian spoke, and Li Xuan was stunned.

Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, Li Xuan didn't expect that even he was pleading for Li Jingye.

Thinking about it carefully, Xue Rengui has served under Li Wei more than once, and he has been promoted by Li Wei for several meritorious services.

The kindness in this is really not small.

After the defeat of Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui was demoted to the history of Xiangzhou Thorn, and the reason why the entire Xue family was able not to fall was actually thanks to the help of the British government.

Although Li Xuan is also related to the Xue family, his Xue family is Xue Wanche and their family.

Although he and Xue Rengui belong to the same Hedong Xue family, Xue Wanche was born in the West Ancestral House, while Xue Rengui was born in the South Ancestral House.

Although the two are related, they are not deeply related.

Although Xue Rengui had the defeat of Dafeichuan, he was still the top general of the Tang Dynasty, and as soon as he was transferred to Daizhou Assassin History, he immediately scared the Turks into suppressing all their ambitions.

Xue Rengui interceded for Li Jingye, so it was really difficult to do.

……

Li Xuan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "What does His Highness want?" ”

Li Xian took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to embarrass Uncle Wang, I just hope that Uncle Wang can let go a little, and it will be fine." ”

"Moment." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Li Xian with a solemn face, and said softly: "Your Highness should know that with Li Jingye's ability, as long as the minister relaxes a little, he will immediately be able to jump out of the minister's grasp, and even get rid of all the blame." ”

Li Xuan's calm eyes, with a hint of vague pressure, Li Xian inexplicably felt a little uneasy.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Uncle Wang misunderstood Xian's meaning, Xian didn't plan to do so, Xian just hoped that he would relax a little in the final sentencing, just reduce it by half, and there is nothing else to do." ”

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood Li Xian's thoughts.

Li Xian just couldn't get rid of Xue Rengui's request, and he didn't really want to help Li Jingye get rid of his crimes.

Even if it is from five years of apprenticeship to three years of apprenticeship, it is already regarded as an explanation to Xue Rengui, that's all,

Li Xuan took a light breath, nodded at Li Xian, and said, "Your Highness's mind, Xuan understands, and it must be properly handled." However, in this matter, Xuan still has to persuade slightly, Li Jingye and his people are too dangerous, even if His Highness wants to do something, he can't start directly from him, and it is safer for His Highness to wait a few people a little. ”

Li Xian originally thought that Li Xuan was going to tell him not to get too close to his military, but he didn't expect to just tell him not to get too close to Li Jingye.

Li Xian said seriously: "Erlang has written it down, Uncle Wang can rest assured." ”
