After a small episode, the remaining princes said some words of blessing to Empress Changsun in turn.

They are too young, so all the gifts are prepared by their biological mothers.

When it was the princesses' turn to give gifts, Li Lizhi stood out among the crowd again.

The gift that Li Zhi prepared for her was a longevity peach ornament carved from jadeite.

The whole ornament looks like a tray with three lifelike longevity peaches.

Each one is just like a real peach.

Even Li Zhi himself didn't expect that he would be able to find something like jade in the East Market.

The most important thing is that this thing was still used as an ornamental stone and sold in the East Market.

Fortunately, Lin De's shop dealt with these things, so it was bought by Pei Mingli at a price that was not very expensive.

So this incomparably precious jadeite material was taken by Li Zhi a year ago.

Without hesitation, he sent it to the Shaofu Supervisor and invited the most powerful carver to make this ornament.

At this time, people did not realize the value of jadeite at all.

But the meaning of this ornament is the most apt of all gifts.

So Li Lizhi was naturally held in the arms of Empress Changsun.

Everyone looked at Li Su and Li Liqing, who were held by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun respectively, with envy on their faces.

It is rare to get such treatment on such a lively occasion.

It is no exaggeration to say that the princes and princesses present are not jealous except for Li Zhi, no matter how big or small.

After a banquet, Li Shimin deliberately left Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Zhi behind.

Li Shimin was the first to speak: "I am going to go to Jiucheng Palace to recuperate for some time in two days, and all government affairs during this period will be supervised by Gao Mingming. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Zhi and Li Tai and said, "You two must help the imperial brother well, and don't go around causing trouble." ”

Li Zhi and the two hurriedly agreed.

Li Chengqian was naturally secretly happy that he could get the opportunity to be imprisoned in the country.

This is a good time for him to get into government affairs.

As long as he can be cautious and listen to the ministers, it is easy to achieve good results.

At this time, his teacher Li Gang had just passed away from illness.

As a disciple, he was locked up in the mansion all day long, and his filial piety was a bit boring.

Now that he has this opportunity, he can just go out of the house every day.

Li Zhi did not react at all to the matter of Li Chengqian's imprisonment of the country.

There are so many things to focus on right now for him, so how can he be in the mood to think about anything else?

Only Li Tai was a little envious in his heart at this time.

He has now begun to have some ambitions for power.

After explaining this matter, Li Shimin said to Li Zhi again: "Your sixth brother's recent performance is very satisfied with his father, and I hope that you will guide him so that he will not return to the old path." ”

Li Zhidao: "Father, rest assured, the sixth brother is a rare genius in the way of things, and his sons will promote each other with him." ”

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

Then he said to Li Tai: "Wang Xiang has praised you for your great knowledge in front of me many times, and I hope you will continue to work hard and not slack off." ”

Li Tai replied respectfully: "The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of their father. ”

Li Shimin left this time and planned to stay outside for a while longer, so he explained the three of them very carefully.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Li Shimin let the three of them go home.

Li Zhi, accompanied by Liu An, Chai Long, and three other guards, rode in a carriage in the direction of Dongshi.

He wanted to buy some more spices to make perfumes for the other concubines before the market closed.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the hour, and it was not long before it got dark.

Therefore, they did not choose to just take the main road, but interspersed from some alleys from time to time.

None of them noticed at this point, and there were some people behind them alternately following them all the time.

And the terrible danger was getting closer and closer to them by this time.

Just when they walked out of Miyagi to an alley not far from Fang City, Chai Long, who was walking in front, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the carriage.

Just when everyone was wondering, Chai Long suddenly whispered to everyone: "Pay attention to vigilance, the situation here is inexplicable, and I am afraid that it is dangerous." ”

After listening to Chai Long's words, the other three guards immediately drew their sabers and moved closer to the carriage.

Liu An also said at this time: "Your Highness, don't show up, and talk about it when the situation is clear." ”

After hearing this, Li Zhi withdrew his hands that wanted to open the car window and honestly retracted into his seat.

At this time, the situation outside is unknown, and the best thing to do is not to expose your body.

After everyone changed formation, the carriage moved again.

This time the pace of progress was much slower.

The alley is not very long, just over 200 meters.

Li Zhi could even hear the lively voices of the people in the fang market in the carriage.

Strangely, however, no one had passed through the alley for a nearly normal distance.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

Since these alleys are the main thoroughfares leading to the various alleys, it stands to reason that this is not possible at all.

The alley was eerily quiet, except for the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, except for the sound of wheels rolling.

Li Zhi, who was sitting in the carriage, felt an indescribable depression.

This atmosphere made his heart beat faster involuntarily, and his palms began to sweat.

When the carriage finally reached the middle of the alley, someone finally appeared in front of it.

They were three young monks in robes.

Chai Long didn't seem to be anything special at first glance.

This made his nervous nerves relax a little, and he even nodded as he passed by them.

Just as the two sides were about to stagger, Chai Long's eyes were suddenly shaken by a bright flash.

This immediately made his mind realize that there seemed to be something wrong.

Before he could figure it out, the three monks suddenly rioted.

I saw them brushing the hem of the monk's robe together, and reached out and took out a steel knife.

Chai Long suddenly exclaimed: "Not good! Watch out! ”

As he spoke, he rushed at the three monks with a single step, and at the same time drew the horizontal knife at his waist.

However, his movements were a step slower after all.

Two of the three monks suddenly rushed towards the carriage, and the guard on this side swung his steel knife before he could react.

The guard was slashed in the chest with two knives at the same time without any preparation.

Even though he was wearing leather armor, he was still severely wounded.

The guard let out a terrible howl of great pain, and immediately fell to the ground.

Liu An, who was sitting in the carriage, reacted extremely quickly, and without hesitation, he waved the horsewhip in his hand at one of the monks.

At the same time, the guards who had been behind the carriage of the horses also hurried up to meet them.

At the last moment, he blocked another monk's knife swing towards the carriage.

The three of them quickly fought together.

The guards on the other side also bypassed the carriage to reinforce ...
