The closer he got to the Eight Scenery Courtyard, the more difficult it was for Li Xuandu to calm down, and many thoughts surged in his heart, and the events of the year also appeared in front of him one by one. From the "34 Dispute" to the "46 Dispute", and then to the change of the Imperial Capital, since the first year of Tianbao, his relationship with the master has become delicate, and when he sees the master again at this time, I don't know what the master will say.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandu suddenly felt that Qin Su's little hand in her palm was trembling slightly, and it was difficult for her to calm down when she thought about it, after all, she was going to see Li Daoxu, the Great Sword Immortal who was on the same level as the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, Li Xuandu wanted to relieve the tension between the two, so he said a topic that seemed unrelated but somewhat related to the current situation: "Susu, do you know Emperor Xiaozong of this dynasty?"

Qin Su was slightly stunned, nodded and said: "Naturally, I know, although Emperor Xiaozong is the king of Shoucheng, he is also the lord of Zhongxing in this dynasty. ”

Li Xuandu continued: "The first time I knew about Emperor Xiaozong, it was not because of his merits, or even in the history books, but in a book of "Excerpts from the Miscellaneous Works of Pujiatang", which reads: 'Zhang Hou tasted mouth sores, and the hospital took medicine, and the palace people dared to pass it on. The emperor led the royal couch to pass the medicine, and personally held the gargle and the queen. The palace people helped him sit up and glared at the emperor. After a short time, the emperor tended to stay. Guy will cough, frightened after also. Its kindness and love are like this. Youyun: "In the old system, the emperor and the queen did not stay overnight, and they were fortunate to be summoned." Fortunately, the Chinese people hugged the torch back and forth, and the clouds avoided the cold. However, the filial piety temple favored the queen the most, so she drowned in the folk couple. It probably means that Empress Zhang is sick, and Emperor Xiaozong personally brings medicine and feeds water, and she is afraid of disturbing her when she coughs. According to the old system of the imperial court, the emperor and his concubines spent the night, and after finishing their work, they had to go back to their respective residences, and only Emperor Xiaozong and Empress Zhang lived together all night. ”

Qin Su was really diverted by Li Xuandu, no longer nervous, but showed a little fascination, and said, "I have also seen this story. Throughout the annals of history, throughout the ancient and modern times, only Emperor Xiaozong only married one queen in his life, a couple for a lifetime, those men who think about three wives and four concubines all day long, what to say about inheriting incense, is nothing more than an excuse. The emperor who sits on the throne can still be weak for 3,000 and only ask for a scoop of drink, why can't those who are not emperors do it? It's not that they can't, but they don't want to. ”

When he said this, Qin Su turned his gaze to Li Xuandu and looked at his face, as if he was specifically talking to him.

Li Xuandu smiled slightly: "If you want to come to the world, there is no one who does not envy this Empress Zhang." Those virtuous women who helped their husbands take concubines were actually forced out. ”

Qin Su sighed lightly: "What woman is willing to share her husband with others?" It's just that some people choose to compromise and seek perfection, and some people prefer not to have it if they can't monopolize it. ”

Li Xuandu changed his words and said: "You envy Empress Zhang, so do you know what the final outcome of Empress Zhang is?"

Qin Su was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "I really don't know." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Emperor Xiaozong was frail and sickly, and died before the age of forty, and Empress Zhang became Empress Dowager Zhang. The two had only one son, who died unexpectedly in the year of their establishment, and had no choice but to set up their son and cousin to succeed to the throne, which was later the famous Emperor Sejong. Sejong and Empress Dowager Zhang were at odds, often condemned, Empress Dowager Zhang's younger brother broke the law, Sejong wanted to kill his brother, Empress Dowager Zhang knelt and begged to no avail, and finally fell ill and collapsed in August. After the death of Empress Dowager Zhang, Sejong killed her brother. Looking at his life, even though he is the envy of countless women all over the world, the young man lost his husband, the middle-aged lost his son, and the old man lost his brother, how bleak the evening scene is. ”

After Qin Su heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Li Xuandu sighed: "Heaven is permanent, the way of heaven is impermanent, and there is heaven's will in the dark." Queen Zhang didn't understand a truth back then, all the mercy of the heavens had actually been secretly marked with the price. What you take today, you will have to pay back later. ”

Qin Su is such a smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuandu's story: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Li Xuandu said calmly: "I fell from the clouds to the dust, in fact, I was paying off my debts, and now it seems that I should be about to pay it off." ”

Qin Su gently pinched his palm and whispered, "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Li Xuandu smiled dumbly.

Logically speaking, the two should call each other each other's expressions, but since Li Xuan didn't call "Bai Juan" and began to call "Susu", Qin Su was not to be outdone, and came up with a "Xuan'er" title, but only when the two were alone, she would still call "Zifu". In her words, everyone calls your cousin Zifu, and even many people don't know your real name and surname but also know Zifu Sword Immortal, so I'm not the same as them.

In this matter, Li Xuandu once protested and gave his own suggestions euphemistically, for example, in many middle schools, women will always call men "Brother So-and-so", in fact, he doesn't mind being called "Brother Xuan" by Qin Su, but unfortunately Qin Su just rewarded him with a roll of his eyes, and his mouth grew on Qin Su's body, since the protest was ineffective, then Li Xuandu could only let it go.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the boulevard in front of the Bajing Courtyard, and at this time, Zhang Haishi and Lu Yanbing had been waiting here for a long time, and the expressions on their faces were quite grim.

After seeing Li Xuandu and Qin Su, Lu Yanbing didn't dare to smile like she did on weekdays, held her breath, and Zhang Haishi said, "Zifu, Miss Qin." ”

Li Xuandu and Qin Su saluted separately.

"Second Senior Brother. ”

"Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Haishi sighed and said, "The old sect master is unpredictable, I really didn't expect that he would invite Miss Qin to come together and involve Miss Qin in this matter, it really shouldn't be." Zhang Haishi first confessed to Miss Qin here. ”

Qin Su hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be like this, that day Xuan...... Zifu went to the soup for my business, and it was only natural that I would accompany him to see the old sword god today. ”

Zhang Haishi smiled slightly, becoming more and more satisfied with Qin Su. He is such a temperament, people let him a foot, he has to pay back a foot, but if people fight for three points, then he will not let half a point, but will fight for another foot. If Qin Su was timid and afraid, even if she was the woman that the fourth junior brother liked, he would look down on her, but Qin Su dared to advance and retreat with Li Xuandu, he would respect this woman for three points, no matter what happened, he would try his best to ensure that Qin Su was safe and sound.

Zhang Haishi looked at Li Xuandu again and said, "The old sect master is already waiting for you, go in quickly, but you also have to remember, don't be too straight, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say, many things are still slowly figured out." ”

Li Xuandu just responded, but he didn't say yes or no.

Zhang Haishi knows his temperament, in ordinary matters, he can discuss, but in some things, he can't discuss, so he can only sigh and say: "That's it, you can do it yourself, just don't forget that there is a Qin girl next to you, don't let her follow in the footsteps of Miss Zhang." ”

These words were already a bit harsh, but Li Xuan listened to them, his face was slightly solemn, and he replied heavily.

Qin Su smiled at Li Xuandu, not half afraid.

Li Xuandu was worried in his heart, but after seeing Qin Su's face, he suddenly became much more relaxed, clenched Qin Su's small hand, and said softly: "It's really that I'm tired of you a lot." ”

Qin Su shook his head and said, "Between you and me, you don't have to be so different, let alone settle accounts so clearly. ”

Li Xuandu nodded slightly, and then pulled Qin Su and strode towards the Eight Scenery Courtyard.

At this moment, Li Rushou and his entourage also followed, and after seeing Zhang Haishi standing here, the group saluted one after another, regardless of their position: "I've seen Mr. Er." ”

Zhang Haishi let out an "um" and asked, "What about Hall Master Li and Hall Master Situ?"

In the upper three halls, the position of the hall master of Tiangang Hall was vacant at this time, and only the two hall masters of Li Rushi and Situ Xuanluo were left, just like the servants and Zhongshu orders of the imperial court in ancient times, at this time Li Rushou heard Zhang Haishi ask so much, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hui, the hall master Li and the hall master Situ are discussing at the entrance of the hall of Tiankui Hall. ”

Zhang Haishi instructed Lu Yanbing: "Old Five, you are guarding here." Then he said to Li Rushou: "Let's go, take me to see the two of them." ”
