Chapter 375: Wedding, assassination of Li Ke, King of Shu

"Fang Yuan, I remember that Su Ziqing is Gao Ming's fiancée!"

Li Shimin said with a calm face.

He was too busy to take care of too much.

For Su Ziqing, he likes it very much, and he likes this daughter-in-law very much.

But because of busy time, I forgot to hold a wedding for Li Chengqian and Su Ziqing.

Now, he heard that Fang Yuan was going to marry Su Ziqing, which made Li Shimin feel offended for the first time.

The face of the royal family is not something that anyone can insult.

"Your Majesty, the royal family and the Su family have not really reached a marriage contract."

"Moreover, this matter is a bit unexpected, Su Ziqing became pregnant after the last time."

Fang Yuan said with a little embarrassment.

"Pregnant?"

Li Shimin was probably surprised.

He also knew what happened last time.

It's been almost three months since I got pregnant, which is too surprising, right?

For a while, Li Shimin's eyes were a little strange when he looked at Fang Yuan, as if with a green light.

"Ahem, it's three months pregnant, and now I know that I just found out."

Fang Yuan looked at Li Shimin's eyes, feeling that he had misunderstood, and immediately explained.

"I see."

"But if you marry Su Ziqing, my royal family will be laughed at for a while."

"I don't mean to make things difficult for you, you say what you should do, right?"

Li Shimin bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

Li Chengqian was no longer in Chang'an City, and was demoted to numbers and out of town.

Even if he wanted to marry Su Ziqing to Li Chengqian, the Su family did not agree.

But at this time, Fang Yuan, even if anyone married Su Ziqing, it would be a humiliation for the royal family.

"First, it was said to the outside world that I begged and begged Your Majesty again to be willing to marry Su Ziqing to me."

"Second, the fire gun of the research institute is no longer forbidden to be used by His Majesty."

Fang Yuan said two points in a row.

It not only gave the royal family face, but also gave Li Shimin benefits.

Now the firecrackers have flowed out completely, although the ones that have flowed out are not good.

But it also flows out, and in a year or two, the fire gun will become a common product.

Before that, we must squeeze the value that the fire gun should have and maximize the benefits.

"Okay, you can go, you don't need to invite me to the wedding."

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Fang Yuankai's conditions.

The Su family will definitely not marry Su Ziqing to Li Chengqian.

I can't order Su Ziqing not to marry for the rest of my life.

It's only a matter of time before the royal family loses face, so it's better to lose it now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan stepped back.

Soon, the news that Fang Yuan was going to marry Su Ziqing spread.

The ministers of the court were shocked, thinking that they had misheard.

Later, Li Shimin sent out the news and confirmed that Fang Yuan begged for it.

As a result, people learned that it was Fang Yuan who was infatuated with Su Ziqing, and Li Shimin Renyi agreed to the marriage.

Originally, the royal family should have been ridiculed, but was slightly pushed by Li Shimin, and the royal family was immediately considered to be big-minded.

Su family.

After the Su family learned from Su Ziqing that Su Ziqing was pregnant last night, they immediately forced Su Ziqing to have an abortion.

The famous family of the Su family is not allowed to have such a humiliating thing.

But after hearing that Fang Yuan would come to propose marriage the next day, he hesitated.

On this day, all the high-ranking officials of the Su family were in the mansion, sitting in the main hall, waiting for Fang Yuan's door.

Among them, Su Ziqing was also here, with her hands crossed on her thighs, covered by her sleeves, and holding her hands tightly.

She seemed to be calm, but she didn't have any bottom in her heart, and she couldn't be sure if someone from Fang Yuan's side really came to hire.

Facing the strange eyes of the clansmen, Su Ziqing only felt a lot of pressure.

"The Fang family won't be without one, right?"

"Fang Yuan is from a homeless background, but it is too much for all of us to wait for him."

"If they don't come, let's just come, and if they come, we don't want to give them too much face."

The Su family whispered, and it was very unpleasant to listen to it in Su Ziqing's heart.

She was so indignant that she wanted to get up and leave.

But at this time, the gate guard came in with Du Miaoyan.

"I've seen Mrs. Du!"

Including Su Yan, everyone hurriedly got up.

All the whispering just now shut up, and there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"I've seen the Su family, I've seen you."

Du Miaoyan said slowly.

She has a big belly, which means nothing.

Seeing this, Su Ziqing hurriedly stood up to help Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan also accepted Su Ziqing's support very calmly, and her demeanor was myriad.

"Uncle Su, the birthday characters are too troublesome and time-consuming, how about I just give a dowry?"

Du Miaoyan waved his hand, and several boxes were immediately carried up behind him.

"Naturally, there is no problem, we will do the return gift tomorrow."

Su Yan said.

The daughter is three months pregnant and cannot be delayed any longer.

It is always better to marry and then get pregnant than not to marry in the past.

"That'll do."

"You can see my body, so I won't stay long."

"If the Su family has any requirements, just mention it, and the Fang family will try their best to meet it."

Du Miaoyan got up as soon as she sat down.

He is pregnant with Liujia, so he should not be overworked.

Today she came by herself, and she couldn't stay too long.

"I'll send you."

Su Yan and the others got up one after another.

In the face of Du Miaoyan's resolute appearance, they didn't dare to have any opinions.

even thought that Du Miaoyan could leave quickly and send Du Miaoyan away, the Bodhisattva.

Because Du Miaoyan's identity as Mrs. Yipin Haoming put a lot of pressure on them, they all had to laugh.

And the Fang family has already given enough face, Du Miaoyan's personal arrival is better than Fang Yuan's personal arrival.

Very busy, the Su family sent Du Miaoyan away.

"The first beauty in Chang'an City is about to give birth, it's really unpredictable."

"That is, a young man like Fang Shangshu is outstanding and worthy of a peerless woman like Du Miaoyan."

"Our Fang family is going to turn over this time, and reaching a marriage with the Fang family will restore the glory of our ancestors."

The Fang family was talking excitedly.

Su Ziqing, who was on the side, couldn't help but sneer.

Just now, I disliked that Fang Yuan was born as a homeless person, and now he said that Fang Yuan was an outstanding young man.

Just now I also said that the Fang family would not give face to the Fang family after they came, and after Du Miaoyan came, they were like grandsons.

Thinking of this, Su Ziqing left quietly and silently, letting the uncles of this group of powerful families immerse themselves in their own obscenity.

A few days passed, and the marriage between the Su family and the Fang family spread out, causing a lot of sensation, and people's reactions were very strong.

One almost became the crown princess, and the other was an emerging upstart in officialdom, and the combination of the two in this way is embarrassing and blessed.

Subsequently, Fang Fu held a marriage, which was better than Du Miaoyan's scale, after all, she was a flat wife, not a regular wife.

However, Fang Yuan also invited a lot of people, and many powerful people in Chang'an City were invited.

After thirty years of drinking, Fang Yuan left, but not in Su Ziqing's room, after all, Su Ziqing was pregnant.

And so suddenly, whether it was Fang Yuan or Su Ziqing, the two of them couldn't adapt to it, so Fang Yuan went to Princess Xiangcheng's courtyard.

As the night deepened, the magnates of Chang'an City slowly dispersed, and the bright moon looked so bright and big in the sky above Chang'an City, like a white jade plate.

Fang Yuan was discussing the true meaning of life with Princess Xiangcheng, and someone outside the courtyard hurriedly knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Yuan was speechless.

Princess Xiangcheng was so ashamed that she covered her face with a sheet.

"Master, something is wrong, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was assassinated on the way back and seriously injured!"

It was the voice of the red floc, so anxious and eager.

"What?!"

Fang Yuan was shocked.

Princess Xiangcheng didn't care about being shy and turned over the sheets.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, dined here at Fang Yuan tonight, was assassinated on the way back, or was he seriously injured?

"Where is the King of Shu now?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The assassination of the prince is a big deal.

And now that the position of the crown prince has not yet been clarified, it is likely to be summarized as an open and secret struggle between princes.

This led to discord among the ministers of the imperial court and affected the stability of the imperial court.

It is difficult for the imperial court to have the current stability, is it going to be broken now?

"In the Qin family, Qin Huaiyu happened to pass by and saved His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Red Floc said.

"Prepare the car!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, was assassinated after going out from himself, so he had to go and see it anyway.

"I'll go too!"

Princess Xiangcheng struggled to get up, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.

"Don't worry, it's over beforehand."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Princess Xiangcheng's face suddenly turned red.

Half an hour later, Fang Yuan came to the Qin Mansion.

In addition to the arrival of Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng, there were also many ministers who arrived.

Most of them heard the news halfway back and rushed over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is seriously injured, but he is out of danger, please go back."

Qin Qiong personally appeared to entertain everyone, but more often than not, he drove people away.

It is not a good thing for me that so many ministers are in my own mansion at such a late hour.

The ministers listened, talked, and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At this time, Li Shimin came quickly.

Everyone stopped their steps to go back and saluted Li Shimin.

"Qin Qiong, how is the King of Shu?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is out of danger."

Qin Qiong repeated what she had just said again.

"Take me to see it."

Li Shimin didn't say hello to Fang Yuan and the others, and asked directly.

Qin Qiong naturally didn't dare to have an opinion on this, and didn't dare to speak as if he was rushing Fang Yuan and the others away.

Soon, Li Shimin left everyone's sight with Qin Qiong, and the ministers said goodbye one after another, and each left with a heavy heart.

Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng were about to leave with the ministers, and when they left, they happened to see Qin Huaiyu sending everyone off, so they stopped for a while.

"How do you feel like you're coming together?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng in surprise.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng at this moment are very similar to a pair of lovers.

It also feels like they came together.

It's normal to come together in broad daylight, but it's nighttime.

"Met on the road."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"What's the matter, Li Ke is really fine, right?"

Princess Xiangcheng's face was slightly unnatural, and she quickly changed the topic.

"It's fine, but I feel a little wrong."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head, then looked solemn and said in a low voice.

"Tell me more?"

Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng glanced at each other and said in a deep voice.

"My way home is quite different from Vermilion Bird Avenue, but Li Ke, the king of Shu, coincidentally wants to go back from my home."

"At that time, there was only one assassin, and then when I was fighting with the assassination, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was injured. I don't even know which assassin he was injured by. ”

Qin Huaiyu whispered.

When Li Ke was injured at that time, he didn't have time to think about it, so he urgently took Li Ke home.

With Li Ke out of danger, Qin Huaiyu became more and more strange, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was difficult to figure out the situation at that time.

"You doubt. The King of Shu directed and acted himself? ”

Fang Yuan frowned and said in a low voice.

Princess Xiangcheng was shocked and looked at Qin Huaiyu in disbelief.

"Probably not, the injury is quite serious, and the blood in the abdomen is all over the ground."

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said.

He just felt strange and didn't know how Li Ke was injured.

Maybe there was an assassin hidden in the shadows, and then Li Ke was injured.

It's just that there are some doubts about this point, that is, there were still four guards protecting Li Ke at that time.

It was after Li Ke was injured that the four guards anxiously called themselves, and they found out that Li Ke was injured, and then the assassin fled.

"Maybe it's overthinking, rest well!"

Fang Yuan patted Qin Huaiyu's shoulder and comforted.

"I hope so."

Qin Huaiyu finally sent Fang Yuan and the two away.

Still confused, he decided to go to Li Ke's guards to ask for clarification.

On the way back between Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng, the two sat in the carriage and snuggled together.

"Fang Yuan, I think what Qin Huaiyu said is strange, and it is not easy for Li Ke to be assassinated."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

"Do you want to talk about the battle for the crown prince?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

At this time, there is no doubt that interests will be involved.

Li Ke was assassinated, if he died, who would benefit?

Undoubtedly, it was Li Tai, the king of Wei, who benefited the most.

Now everyone knows that Li Ke and Li Tai are competing for the position of crown prince.

If Li Ke dies at this time, then there will be only one person left in the crown prince - Li Tai.

So from the perspective of interests, the most likely assassination of Li Ke is Li Tai.

"Yes."

"Li Ke may want to wronged Li Tai!"

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

As a royal princess, she witnessed a lot of shady deeds.

For the position of the crown prince, Li Ke and Li Tai did everything.

"You can just say this to me, so as not to cause trouble."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

He had that idea too.

This is based on the trust in Qin Huaiyu.

If what Qin Huaiyu felt was wrong was Li Ke's self-directed nature, it was really possible that Li Ke wanted to wronged Li Tai.

Li Ke was assassinated only by a few people, he said whatever he wanted, and the court could only investigate according to what he said, and in the end, it was really possible to find Li Tai's body.

It's about the prince's competition, so it's better not to participate.

"I know you don't want to get involved in the battle for the crown prince?"

Princess Xiangcheng bowed her head and asked.

"Why meddle?"

"Do I need a crown prince to secure my position?"

Fang Yuan did not answer the rhetorical question.

Princess Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment, and then continued to snuggle in Fang Yuan's arms.

The other side.

Qin Huaiyu took the four guards at night to the firewood room and questioned them.

When Qin Huaiyu walked out of the kitchen again, his face was full of anger.

He walked to the room where Li Ke was resting, pushed open the door, and at this time, Li Shimin had already watched Li Ke leave.

Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Ke on the bed and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, why are you using me?" ”

His face was pale, and Li Ke, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
