In the middle of the main house, the servants kept carrying hot water into the room, and then poured it into the bathtub.

Li Xuan stood on one side, holding the medicine box in his hand, and every time he poured a bucket of water, he sprinkled a handful of ground medicine powder into the bath bucket.

It was poured until the bath bucket was full of water, and Li Xuan waved everyone away.

"Da Lang, is this really necessary?" Ouyang walked out of the bedroom with Xia'er in his arms, his face full of worry.

"Mother, if Xia'er wants to protect herself, pulling out the crossbow, firing the letter cannon, and wielding the blade are the most basic means."

Li Xuan looked behind Ouyang's eyes, Liu Jinyu walked out with Zhao'er and Ming'er in her arms, and Koji Dou'er, Pei Shitong, Liu Shubi, and Sanlang, Shiro, and Wulang also followed.

"Now I have strong roots, not to mention anything else, at least when I encounter something, I can escape directly all of a sudden." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "If her calamity really falls on herself, it means that the protection of her son and Sanniang has failed, and she can only rely on herself." ”

Ouyang was silent, and after a moment, she raised her head and said, "Will the palace really do this?" ”

"Logically not." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Xia'er, and said softly: "My son has tens of thousands of troops in the northwest, and Yue Weng is the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, according to common sense, Your Majesty has to give some face, but if it is critical, Your Majesty is bewitched by others, and the villain in the middle is making trouble, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, who knows what will happen, and the mother should still remember Zhao Qi." ”

Ouyang's face instantly sank.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family is not easy to do, but there are very few like Zhao Qi.

More serious than Zhao Qi, only Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

Today's situation is different, Zhao Qi, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei are all the queen's means, and now it is the emperor who really wants to attack.

The Ouyang clan also came over in the last years of the Taizong Dynasty.

Emperor Taizong was also unconscious in his last years, and even thought about abolishing the present and re-establishing others.

But fortunately, the emperor was sober at the last moment, and the transfer of imperial power was smoother.

Now that it's the last years of the emperor, who knows what will happen.

At this time, no matter what kind of prince and general you are, you only need a holy decree to give you death, and Xia'er is still a little girl, and no one knows if she dies.

"If Xia'er is lured into the palace, her body is stronger, at least she can stay up for three days and two nights, and if she can still bring some special pills, it will be more than half a month, and it will not be a problem." Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you are scolded by someone, you can survive, at least until your son comes back." ”

Ouyang's fists couldn't help clenching, she looked up at Li Xuan and said, "With Grandma here, she will definitely not let Xia'er have an accident." ”

"Of course, my son believes that with the protection of his mother, coupled with Xia'er's natural blessings, everything will naturally be easier, but if you can worry less, let's worry as little as possible, besides, Xia'er will have to discipline her younger siblings in the future, teach her husband and children, be in better health, and live a long life." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly.

"Okay." Ouyang sighed, sent Xia'er to Li Xuan's arms, and said with a wry smile: "Why is it this time now." ”

Li Xuan wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

After Ouyang put down Xia'er, he shook his head and turned to leave.

Li Xuan looked at the other five sons and said seriously: "Today is your sister who starts the medicinal bath, next year it will be Da Lang, the year after tomorrow it will be Erlang San Lang Shilang, and then come over Wu Lang, once a year, the children of my Li family must be physically strong, not inviolable to all poisons, but also live a long life." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhizhao bowed very seriously, and several other children also learned in a similar way.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Take them all back, you must keep your mouth shut about today's affairs, and don't say a word to outsiders." ”

Li Xuan's expression became serious, and the beans, Pei Shitong, and Liu Shubi all nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

……

Liu Jinyu handed Zhao'er and Ming'er over to Siniang, sent them away, and then returned to the house.

"Husband." Closing the door again, Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan and said in a low voice: "Last night's incident, the concubine always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Oh?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Jinyu in some surprise, he remembered that he explained everything very clearly.

"Zhou Guogong." Liu Jinyu looked at Li Xuan and said directly: "Zhou Guogong is different from King Cao, King Yue, and King Langya, he is not a royal bloodline, why should he be counted in it." ”

"The lady is worried that Xia'er's affairs will be advanced." Li Xuan was slightly surprised, then shook his head, and said: "No, Sanniang is actually right for most of what she thinks, this medicine is indeed based on the bloodline of the descendants of the surname Li, but alchemy pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang, if it is all the bloodline of the children of the Li family, it is not easy to succeed, and the second only person in the world to the surname Li is the surname Wu, and next year's matter may be demarcated by the life and death of Zhou Guogong." ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said in a low voice: "Actually, there is another consideration for being a husband, if it is a queen...... The queen of heaven doesn't want Her Majesty to make mistakes on top of mistakes......"

"Then Zhou Guogong won't die." Liu Jinyu's expression became solemn, this kind of thing is completely different.

"If nothing else, then that thing won't spread to Xia'er." Li Xuan just breathed a sigh of relief, and then added: "You still have to be careful, be careful that Wu Chenghei fakes his death, and the alchemy continues, but in this way, Xia'er will not be in danger, and we will only be our loyal ministers." ”

Liu Jinyu nodded seriously, in this matter, they are very dangerous, if they are not careful, they will become the rebellious ministers and thieves who killed the emperor.

It's okay to be careful, but if you are not careful, there is no place for them in the entire Datang.

If possible, try to do it to others, but if you can't do it......

"Actually, there is a possibility." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "That is, they missed Xia'er, and finally had to find out the backup candidate." ”

"Alternate candidates, who?" Liu Jinyu's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Abolished prince, Li Xian."

……

The mist was steaming, and Xia'er only left a face above the water, red from the steam.

In the bathtub, countless medicinal powers began to pour into Xia'er's body, beginning to strengthen her foundation.

Li Xuan poured new medicinal powder from time to time to replenish the medicinal power.

After all the medicinal powders were used up, Li Xuan took a step back and walked behind Xia'er.

With his right hand stretched forward, a drop of innate water qi had already appeared in his palm.

Using the innate Qi to refine medicine, Li Xuan can't do it, but using the innate qi to help his daughter cut the bones and wash the marrow, Li Xuan still did it, and ......

After a long time, Li Xuan sent Xia'er into the futon, and at this time, she had already fallen asleep directly.

asked people to pour out the bath bucket, and took care of Xia'er for a while, before Li Xuan left the bedroom and came to the front hall.

Liu Jinyu saw Li Xuan, stood up, and said: "Husband, the results of the trial of the three law divisions have come out, and Li Chong, the king of Langya, was sentenced to beheading for the crime of great rebellion. ”

Li Xuan's face was solemn, Cao Wang Liming died in September, and three months later, Li Chong was also beheaded.

"When will the execution be carried out?" Li Xuan looked up at Li Zhaode on the side.

Li Zhaode arched his hand and said: "The results of the trial of the three law divisions have been submitted to Your Majesty, and there will probably be no results before the year, it should be after the year." ”

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Liu Jinyu, the husband and wife made eye contact, Li Zhaode's words were quite different from their husband and wife's judgment.

Now it's up to who's right.

Li Xuan then asked: "What about King Yue, what punishment is King Yue sentenced to?" ”

"After all, the king of Yue didn't know the details, so the three law divisions sentenced him to exile, Xiao Guan sentenced him to hanging, and Xiao Dezhao, the squire of the military department, sentenced him to exile for 3,000 miles to Yazhou." When Li Zhaode said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, this time the trial of the three law divisions was too fast, and in just a dozen days, he had already been sentenced to two deaths and two exiles, and in addition, there were many other dispositions.

Li Xuan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Cheng Wuting, the left general of the forbidden army, shouldn't be implicated?" ”

"Nope." Li Zhaode shook his head, but still frowned and said: "After all, the Three Law Divisions did not call him to the court, although he asked a few times in private, but after all, he was not implicated in the case, but His Majesty deliberately let him rest for a few days, I don't know what it means?" ”

Li Xuan and Liu Jinyu glanced at each other, their eyes flickered, Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Zhaode: "What do you think in Changshi's heart, you might as well say it directly?" ”

"Xia Guan feels that although there is no evidence to implicate General Cheng in this matter, His Majesty still has a trace of doubt in his heart, coupled with the matter of his father back then, so he was allowed to take a temporary rest, and if the minister expected it is not bad, His Majesty should soon make a response." Li Zhaode looked up at Li Xuan, then shook his head and said, "He finally showed his flaws." ”

The Praetorian Guard General is related to the emperor's safety, and there must be no flaws.

The Li family in Sanyuan has a lot of power in the forbidden army, but what really reassures the emperor is that from Li Jing to Li Keshi's brothers, they rarely form gangs.

Before the rise of Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang, the most in the army were Li Qian's cronies.

Even to put it mildly, the two of them can be regarded as Li Qian's old subordinates.

However, since Li Jing's death, these people have gone their separate ways, although Li Jingye has also attracted a group of people, but since his death, these people have completely dispersed.

"Changshi thinks that His Majesty will use what means to balance General Cheng?" Li Xuan continued to ask.

Li Zhaode glanced at Li Xuan in some surprise, Li Xuan's words revealed a lot of flaws.

"Xia Guan can't guess, but if it is possible, Your Majesty may transfer a child of the clan back to Beijing, or serve as a lieutenant general of the forbidden army to check and balance General Cheng, but he will return to General Cheng, so that he will not be too disgusted, and at the same time, he can also explain to the government and the opposition." Li Zhaode's analysis is reasonable.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "These specific details, I can just guess, as long as Your Majesty's safety is worry-free, we don't need to worry more." By the way, is there any news from Zhou Guogong and Zhao Guogong recently? ”

Li Bi immediately said: "Zhou Guogong has been in the south of Henan for disaster relief, and it seems that he has plans to spend the New Year in Henan, but Zhao Guogong has entered Shuzhong and is about to arrive in Chengdu, and he will enter Qianzhou next, and he should spend the New Year in Chengdu." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan bowed slightly, and said: "Things on both sides, listen to a little rumors, our focus is on Chang'an." ”

Li Zhaode stood up solemnly, looked at Li Xuan, and listened to his next words.

"The key is to think twice about Dangjun Gongwu." Li Xuan's eyes were solemn, and he said seriously: "Zhou Guogong has been in Chang'an for a few years, and he is modest on the outside, but he has some shady means on the inside. ”

"The subordinates are here." Li Bi seriously surrendered his hand.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "It's still the same method as before, keep an eye on the rumors about the palace in Chang'an City, and at the same time send people to keep an eye on both sides of the Kaihua Workshop, if someone enters the palace to spy on the movement, no matter who it is, immediately arrest it, and after interrogation, send it to Wannian County, so that Wannian County can deal with it well." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhaode and Li Bi gave up their hands at the same time, and for Wu Sansi, the new upstart of the government and the opposition, everyone was staring at his every move.
