Chapter 7: Plan to Rise
"I said enough to stop me, didn't you hear? Do you really not know what you are doing here? Lun'er hurt Xiao'er, shouldn't you be punished? I put the harem in your hands, not for you to do anything wrong. ”
Empress Xiangyi saw that Li Xiaotian was really angry, so she didn't dare to say much, otherwise she would anger Long Yan, and Li Xiaotian was angry and abolished his position as queen, which would be regretted.
"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake. After Empress Xiangyi finished speaking, she stepped aside.
"Is this a dirty place in your eyes?" angrily reprimanded Empress Xiangyi, Li Xiaotian walked up to Concubine Hua and replied sadly.
Concubine Hua has been obedient to Li Jingxiao for all these years, and has never been angry with anyone, today Concubine Hua endured the limit, did not want to continue, burst out, and said angrily: "Isn't it? What did our mother and son do wrong? Why did you want to confine Xiao'er to Huaxian Palace? The two of us stayed at home, why did the eldest prince come to trouble us? What is the so-called reason for the queen to come today? What is the reason why the people in the palace have been bullying us Huaxian Palace?"
After Concubine Hua asked this series of questions, she looked at Li Xiaotian further.
Li Xiaotian didn't want to answer any of Concubine Hua's questions, he knew all these things, and he had been paying attention to Huaxian Palace, as long as something happened to their mother and son, Li Xiaotian would definitely rush there as soon as possible. What happened to Li Jinglun a year ago, and what happened to the queen now, is the best proof.
But Li Xiaotian couldn't say these things, because the cause of all these effects was on him Li Xiaotian. At the beginning, because of the vision that occurred when Li Jingxiao was born, Li Xiaotian was afraid that this was a bad omen from heaven, so he ordered Li Jingxiao to be grounded in Huaxian Palace.
And then, because of this order, everyone in the harem thought that Concubine Hua had fallen out of favor, and even the prince who was born was also affected, so in the harem, all the people began to target Concubine Hua's Palace, and when something unpleasant happened, they all liked to find Huaxian Palace to vent.
Originally, this reason was very easy to explain, but now it is really unspeakable, even if it is said, it will be considered a deliberate excuse, because a few days before Li Jingxiao was born, the northern Xiongnu formed a large army to attack the Dayong border, and within a few months, it has been several cities, and the courage of the moment is unstoppable, and after Li Jingxiao was born, the Xiongnu army did not know what happened, and partially withdrew, and the remaining ones were defeated and retreated under the counterattack of the Dayong army.
And after that, on the land of Dayong, in the land of Dayong, where there was a long drought, it actually miraculously rained heavily. In the following five years, the number of natural disasters in various parts of Dayong decreased dramatically, and the number of natural disasters in five years was less than in the previous year. At the same time, the rate of talent emergence has increased greatly throughout the country, and in the past five years, there has been an unprecedented phenomenon of difficulty in making a choice in the two imperial examinations.
Coincidentally, everything started the second after Li Jingxiao was born. And Li Jingxiao, who had not received any news that night, made a decision to understand Li Jingxiao's grounding in Huaxian Palace. After that, even if Li Jingxiao got the news of the great victory in the north, he didn't finish thinking about it. Subsequently, this kind of auspicious thing continued to appear across the country, but when Li Xiaotian paid attention, the time was still two years in the past, and if this was used as an excuse to contact the ban on Li Jingxiao, it would be a little unreasonable.
In the face of Concubine Hua's constant questioning, Li Xiaotian couldn't say what he really thought at that time, because with this reason, it seemed too ridiculous, and now Li Xiaotian himself doesn't believe that it is a reason.
"I'm sorry for you all these years, you blame me, I can't say anything, but I still hope that your mother and son are well, and I promise you that such a thing will not happen in the future, otherwise I will definitely kill someone. ”
Li Xiaotian has fallen into great pain in his heart, because a decision and a neglect have created today's situation. But this is the cause of one's own planting, and this effect must be borne by oneself.
This time Li Xiaotian was really angry, since he ascended the throne, Li Xiaotian has not killed anyone with his own hands, but this time he was really angry, and the murderous aura revealed in his eyes made Queen Xiangyi and the people behind him feel chilled.
Li Xiaotian was extremely depressed, but he couldn't find a place to vent, so after finishing speaking, he left at a loss.
After he left, the queen shook her body and wanted to turn away, but before leaving, the queen still habitually turned back, found a little bit of ground for herself, and said: "Don't think that this is the way you can be proud." Three days later, there will be the royal internal test, when my Lun'er will definitely win the first prize, and then enter the royal bloodline tower, and when my Lun'er passes through the first layer, he will definitely make a request to the royal elders to restore the crown prince's position, and then how will you be my opponent in our harem. ”
The queen said there, but Concubine Hua and Li Jingxiao ignored it completely, since they had already torn their faces, there was no need to give them this face, so Li Jingxiao helped Concubine Hua into the room to rest at that time.
At night, Li Jingxiao was in his room and asked the sword soul: "I want to have the strength to make everyone awe now, so that I can protect the people I want to protect well." ”
"Do you really think that in this way, you can protect the people you want to protect?" Sword Soul did not give a way for Li Jingxiao to improve his strength, but asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?"
After Li Jingxiao asked suspiciously, the Sword Soul said in great disappointment: "Have you forgotten the lesson of your predecessor? If your predecessor had the strength of the peak of the Innate Stage, do you think you can escape that catastrophe?"
After the sword soul finished speaking, Li Jingxiao did not refute and fell into contemplation, but not long after the time passed, Li Jingxiao said solemnly: "I know it's wrong, there is force, and I am just one person, so I need to have strong power around me." ”
"Well, it's good that you understand, it's not too late. After listening to Li Jingxiao's words, the sword soul nodded with satisfaction.
"But what should I do now, when I fully recover my strength, I don't know how long it will take, if Li Jinglun really becomes the crown prince again, then in the palace, my mother and I will become more and more dangerous. ”
"When you ask this question, it proves that you have not fully accepted your identity. ”
"What do you say?" Since his soul recovered, in the past four years, Li Jingxiao has been immersed in this identity, and he also recognizes Concubine Hua's mother.
"For who you are now, you just recognize your mother, and you don't take the fact that you are a member of the royal family to heart. After Li Jingxiao asked, the sword soul talked about the lesson smugly, "I can tell you, this royal family is not as simple as you think, this is an extremely powerful force, if you use it well, as long as you are willing, let alone protect your mother, it will not be difficult for you to be in charge of the entire Dayong Heavenly Dynasty." ”
"To be able to establish such a powerful regime on this continent, the imperial family must be strong, but I am just a given prince, how can I get their support?" Li Jingxiao also understood this, but he also had his own worries in his heart.
"You were just grounded by Li Xiaotian, and you weren't expelled from the royal family, and even if you were really expelled, as long as you showed a strong talent, those old things in the royal family would definitely invite you back at all costs. ”
"This is a good idea, but I am grounded here, and there is at least one Innate Stage master lurking around, how can I get out?" After listening to the words of the Sword Soul, Li Jingxiao also felt that this was reasonable, and he also wanted to do so, but the reality was that he really couldn't get out.
"It doesn't matter, with my ability, not to mention the little ones in the innate stage who are guarding outside, even those more powerful little old guys in the royal family, I can also deceive them. At the mention of this, the sword soul suddenly became complacent again.
"Since we can go out, then we can't just rashly find those 'little old guys' to show their talents!"
"I already had an idea, three days later, I will see you teleport directly into the royal family's bloodline tower, and I won't be able to help you after entering, so I can only rely on yourself. As for the rest, you don't need to worry, I will arrange it for you one by one to ensure that it is seamless. ”
Li Jingxiao discussed a set of plans with the Sword Soul, and then began to cultivate. I don't know what will be in the bloodline tower, so naturally the more strength there is, the more the guarantee.
Three days later, the Imperial Examination began, and all persons of the Imperial Family over the age of twelve and under the age of twenty-five participated, and all of them were required to participate, except in special circumstances, with the approval of the Presbyterian Church.
After a day of fierce competition, Li Jinglun finally won the first place in the strength of the coming days. However, there is some moisture in it, but Li Jinglun is a descendant of the royal family, so he just turns a blind eye. The second place is the eldest son of a prince, whose strength is in the middle of the acquired period, and this is also the one who deliberately released water.
The first and second places are all expected, and the strength has entered the acquired period and it is only these two people who know. The three of them competed, and a dark horse appeared, that is, the eldest princess Li Tianrong, who is usually inconspicuous, but at the time of the competition, she also showed her strength in the acquired period. However, after all, the breakthrough was not long after, and he lost to Li Jinglun and became the third.
It was already evening when the competition ended, and it was still night when the matters after the competition were over. Even so, the top three who won the final competition still had to enter the Bloodline Tower as agreed.
The one guarding the bloodline tower is an old-timer of the royal family, and no one has ever known how much strength he has, and Li Xiaotian only knows that when he broke into the tower, he appeared there. Over the years, almost everyone has forgotten his name, and everyone respectfully calls him the Elder of the Tower, and they all have special respect for him.
