"No news yet?" In the small study room of the Taiji Palace, Emperor Li Er had stayed up all night, urging the situation of the grassland again and again, and even did not hesitate to use the hidden piles that had been buried for many years.

The inner servant Lao Gao shook his head worriedly, there was news from the north, Xiao Rui was lost in the grassland, and Jieli attacked Dingxiang with all his might, looking like he was about to recapture Dingxiang. Some people speculate that Xiao Rui died in the grassland, and Jieli no longer had any scruples.

As soon as this news came out, the entire palace and even half of Chang'an were overshadowed.

Not long ago, Xiao Yu personally led 3,000 cavalry to enter the grassland, and the news leaked out, and the whole Chang'an was boiling.

But now, within a few days, the latest news came out, Xiao Luma died in the grassland, and the people of Chang'an were speechless. Some people say that God is jealous of talents, and some people say that the champion Hou is not someone who can be if he wants to, in short, there are mixed reviews for Xiao Rui.

Emperor Li Er heard that there was gossip about Xiao Rui's death in Chang'an City, and he was so angry that he had ordered someone to secretly deal with two waves of rumors, but the mouth of the people was worse than the mouth of Fangchuan, there was no news for several days, Li Er was also a little nervous, and he couldn't care about what the people were talking about, and now he just wanted to know Xiao Rui's life and death.

"Father...... Please save Brother Rui. Princess Xiangcheng ran into the small study crying, and no one could stop her.

Li Er already had a headache, but now seeing his daughter like this, thinking that he sent Xiao Rui to Youzhou, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and sighed and comforted: "Xiang'er, Xiao Rui is just losing the news now, not necessarily the rumored battle death." Others don't know Xiao Rui's kung fu, don't you know? There are not many people in the world who can overcome him. I don't believe he died in battle. ”

Xiangcheng wiped his tears and said: "Father, the child wants to go to the Northland, even if Brother Rui dies in battle, I want to see him." ”

You......

Li Er was about to get angry, and Xiao Changle's cry came from outside, and he was blocked by his subordinates.

Li Er couldn't help but have a headache, so he gave his eyes to the inner servant Lao Gao, who pondered for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, princess, the family of the master of the horse has returned from Youzhou, and they will arrive in Chang'an in a few days." The princess is the wife of the princess, and the princess is not there, so you should be responsible for taking care of it. ”

Well? Wife? hasn't passed the door yet, what kind of wife? Li Er glared at Lao Gao, but when he looked at Lao Gao's eyes, he instantly understood, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, Xiang'er, there has always been something that I didn't dare to tell you, and now this matter has to be yours." ”

Xiangcheng held back his sobs and listened respectfully, "Father, please speak." ”

Li Er coughed lightly: "Do you know Wei Yanran, the daughter of Wei Zheng?" ”

Xiangcheng nodded: "My daughter knows about this, Brother Rui explained it in the letter." Although it was a coincidental encounter, his daughter didn't mind if someone could follow him to Youzhou to take care of him. originally wanted to wait for Brother Rui to come back from Youzhou, and his daughter helped him intercede with his father and give Wei Yanran a name. I didn't expect ...... Whining...... If Brother Rui dies, his daughter will never live alone! ”

Li Er covered his forehead and knew that this was the case.

"Thou shalt hear the Father. Everyone knows about him and Wei Yanran. I have forgiven him. Now Xiao Rui's life and death are uncertain, and it won't help you to go to the Northland. There is one thing you may not know, that Wei Yanran was already pregnant before leaving Youzhou. ”

What??? Princess Xiangcheng was stunned, she really didn't know about this.

Li Er thought that her daughter was worried, the eldest son was a concubine, what if her child was not the eldest son in the future?

"You can rest assured, whether she is born a boy or a girl, it will not affect your status."

Princess Xiangcheng shook her head and said, "Father, I don't care about this. Is this true? Brother Rui didn't tell me in the letter, I was happy for him. ”

Li Er sighed: "Silly boy, you are generous." This time, it was my father's fault, and he shouldn't have sent Xiao Rui to Youzhou. At this point, it is useless to say more. Xiao Rui died in this trip, if he died on the battlefield, then the child in Wei Yanran's womb would be Xiao Rui's only heir. You, you ......"

Li Er is still reluctant, in case Xiao Rui dies, his daughter is a princess, and she can remarry, not to mention that the two are not yet married.

Xiangcheng nodded with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your grace." My daughter understands, I will definitely take care of them, treat the children like my own, and help Brother Rui raise the children to adulthood. ”

This......

Li Er didn't know if he was happy or worried, I didn't mean that......

Lao Gao reminded with a smile, which means that now the princess has the will to die, so she will fool the past first.

Li Er nodded: "Since you understand the importance of this matter, then Li Shengnan and Wei Yanran will be handed over to you to take care of." I have arranged them in Xiaojiazhuang, they can arrive today or tomorrow, should you go and arrange them in person? Don't worry, Xiao Ruiji is a celestial person, there may not be anything, and when there is news, I will be the first to send someone to inform you. ”

Xiangcheng Zhili bowed and retired. By the way, he pulled away his sister Changle, who was crying outside the door.

Li Erchang breathed a sigh of relief, "Alas, Xiao Rui, this kid, what happened, why didn't he even have any news?" ”

The chamberlain Lao Gao comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, didn't you say that the concubine Ye Ji is a natural person, and it will be fine." ”

"Hehe, you minion, I just comforted Xiangcheng, but you used it to comfort me?"

Lao Gao thought for a moment and smiled: "Your Majesty, the old slave is from a humble background, and he has never read a few books, let alone the champion Hou Huo who is sick. But the champion Hou in history is about the same age as the current horse master, and he can do the work of leaving a name in history, but the horse master may not be able to! Let's ask the master of the horse, Huo Qu's resurrection, may not be comparable. ”

Li Er glanced at Lao Gao, "You think highly of him." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, just according to the truth, like Your Majesty, I believe in the master of the horse. I didn't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, and I quietly looked for Yuan Shenxian the day before yesterday, and he said that the horse master was not an early death. ”

Li Er felt a little comforted in his heart, Yuan Tiangang still had real skills.

"Alas...... I hope so. Xiao Rui, this kid, can't compare himself to anyone, don't learn Huo to get sick? Didn't he know that although Huo Qubing chased after the north, he contracted the disease on the way back and died violently. did not return to Chang'an safely. ”

Hearing this, the inner servant Lao Gao's heart tightened, and he also felt unlucky.

In Xiaojiazhuang, Princess Xiangcheng finally received Li Junxian and his party in the evening, and the second daughter, who looked haggard after a tiring journey, obviously fled and returned.

Xiangcheng couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, mentioning Xiao Rui, the three girls couldn't help but hug each other and cry bitterly, and even Xiao Changle cried with him.

Emperor Taishang Lao Li Yuan was puzzled, people were crying husband-in-law, Xiao Changle, what are you crying about?

Xiao Changle choked up and said, "I see my sister crying so pitifully, I can't help but want to cry." ”
