Chapter 086 Beauty 4
Two days later, I told Li Shimin that he was ready to enter the palace and asked to enter the palace only at night, and not let anyone know, and asked him to go to Li Jiancheng in private. The key to do this matter was with Li Jiancheng.
The moonlight becomes cold at night, and the cool breeze in the middle of the night is even more accustomed. I picked up a dim oil lamp, stroked a veil with a pale face, and stepped barefoot into the backyard of the East Palace. This back courtyard is for the servants who serve the master, so that they can come at any time. A key came out of his sleeve, gently opened a lock, and pushed the door in. The sound of the squeaky door echoed in the room, and the people on the bed turned over and didn't notice any abnormality in the room.
Step by step and silently, unconsciously, I was standing beside her couch. The wind blowing at the door made the oil lamp in his hand tremble, and the faint light trembled. When he sensed the coolness, the man on the couch turned around and opened a seam in his eyes. The bed suddenly shook. She jumped up from the bed, stared with fear, and shook her lips: "Who are you!"
The nails hooked between the hair, breaking the thin line of the veil. I smiled and said, "Don't the wet nurse recognize me?"
The wet nurse screamed, curled up, pointed to me and retreated: "Don't come over, don't come over!"
I was helpless and said, "I can't help it either. The little son cried cold and insisted on the wet nurse's hug, so I came up to find you.
Hearing this, the wet nurse shrank into a ball and squeezed tightly in the corner of the bed and dared not look up. She only squinted and peeked at my movements. I sat on the bed and got closer and closer: "The little boy kept asking why the wet nurse didn't want him. Mammy, why don't you want him?
"No, I didn't mean to! I just tripped over a stone under my feet and fell into the water! I don't want to do this, I didn't mean to!" The wet nurse opened her mouth and waved her palm crazily in fear.
I looked cold and asked, "In this case, I will die in vain!"
The wet nurse pulled the bedding and held it in her hand, shrank hard to the corner of the bed, shouting sorry and not intentional words. As soon as I got angry, I got up with a sigh. The armrest stood beside the bed. Two people came out of the tent behind. The candlelight in the room was immediately lit, and the surrounding time suddenly lit up.
When the wet nurse saw the light, she raised her head in a daze. When she saw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin in the room, she was even more shocked. When she saw me on the bed, she still had me, shaking her fingers and shouted "ghost". Li Jian could not explain anything to her and said angrily, "Come on, the wet nurse murdered the son to frame the Chengqian Hall, and immediately pulled him into the prison and waited for the fall!"
Only then did the wet nurse realize that this was a trick to tell the truth and looked at me and muttered, "I won't do anything wrong in my life. I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. I really shouldn't have regretted it before. It's good to change it easily at this time.
People's potential conscience is always manifested in persecution. Even if the surface is reasonable, it is actually very uneasy.
Li Shimin gently put his arm around my shoulder and said to Li Jiancheng, "Everything is clear. Please testify to your father tomorrow and be innocent."
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Shimin holding my arm and smiled faintly: "That's natural."
He looked at me deeply, as if there were thousands of words, and he could only swallow his throat. He lost weight. I don't know if it's because of the fatigue of defending the Turks in Puzhou. He must have wondered why I would still appear when I was dead, and wondered whether I had been with Li Shimin this year. However, from his eyes just now, I saw that he already knew the relationship between me and Li Shimin. The bleakness and distant regret of bronze actually made me uneasy in front of him. Since I hurt him once, I can't hurt him again.
I was a little uncomfortable. I removed Li Shimin's hand without a trace and blessed Li Jiancheng: "Thank you, Prince."
Li Jiancheng stood there with a smile and just waved his hand: "Go back. Come to the palace tomorrow, everything will be innocent."
"Then, I will say goodbye!" Li Shimin took my hand, and I looked back in Li Jiancheng's unintentional bitter smile and followed Li Shimin to step on the door.
It's late at night and the palace door is closed. On the way, Li Shimin didn't say a word, took me into the side door of Chengqian Hall, came to his bedroom, and then turned around and hugged me tightly. His heavy breath fell on my neck, which made me feel sad for noexplicable. Did he notice my scruples?
"It's really close." Li Shimin tightened his arms and sighed, "I'm actually afraid of him!"
Understanding the meaning of his words, I reached out and patted me gently on the back: "I will always be by your side and won't leave."
Li Shimin lowered his face and clung to my forehead, as if he had been missing for a hundred years: "I don't allow anyone to betray me, and so do you. You can only stay by my side and don't go anywhere. I don't want you to see him at all. I'm really scared.
He held my hand on his chest and touched the peaceful heartbeat. I smiled and said, "I won't leave you, let alone betray you. I just hope Your Highness will treat me like this in the future."
His cheeks were warm, and he kissed gently, like a gentle spring, flowing into my heart.
The heart is in love, and it is not long. It is hidden in the center, and it will be forgotten.
This night, Li Shimin still hugged me to sleep quietly on the couch, and I didn't sleep well. I always like to look at his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, and his mouth, as if this can deeply remember him in my heart and never forget him. I even laugh at myself. Tomorrow is not the end. Why do I need to be so sad? I really can't help him.
The next morning, Li Shimin took me out of Chengqian Hall early. I wore a veil. Although some people looked strange all the way, I didn't dare to lose my temper in front of Li Shimin. Li Shimin took me to the pavilion near the Liangyi Hall and called two bodyguards to guard them. No one should approach me and pick me up after the early morning.
The sun went up again, and an eunuch came up the road, said a few words to the bodyguard, and asked me to follow him to the Liangyi Hall. Entering the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng stood aside, with a man kneeling on the ground, a wet nurse. I stood in the hall, took off the veil and looked directly at Li Yuan. Li Yuan said, "Everything is clear. Fortunately, you are still alive and can recover your previous mistakes. It's just that I don't understand that you died in prison that day, why are you outside?"
What I'm most afraid of is to ask this, but I still can't escape, and I can't point directly at Li Yuanji. If he doesn't admit it, I'm not sentenced to bullying the king. Under hesitation, Li Shimin, who was beside him, bowed down and said, "It was my son who secretly changed it. Erchen felt that there were a lot of doubts about this matter, but he couldn't find the reason for a moment, so he took the risk of stealing her out. My son is willing to be punished!"
I was shocked that Li Shimin should have known what Li Yuanji had done, but he did not expose him. Then, Li Jiancheng's sudden words made me think strangely about the three brothers. Li Jiancheng said, "I think my second brother is meritorious. If the second brother hadn't changed people secretly, how could he make the truth come out? In this way, my son is also at ease, and Chengzong should also close his eyes. My Tang Dynasty is also wise!"
Li Yuan nod his head and smiled, "I haven't decided anything yet. Why are you so nervous and active?" He turned his eyes to me and said, "If that's the case, you can return to the position of Chengqian Hall and continue to stay in the palace. As for the culprit..." He waved his hand, " Pull down and die."
The nurse looked dull and softly allowed the bodyguard to drag her down. Her ending could only be death. I turned around and inadvertently saw Li Yuan's elite eyes, which made me look creepy all over. I couldn't help but be terrified. Just now, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng came out to solve my difficulties, and not only this time, Li Yuan must have noticed something. Since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster, and the battle for the throne has been a great disaster. If a woman is reunited in the middle, it will definitely cause chaos in the court. Li Yuan is not unaware of the increasingly rigid relationship between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, but every action he takes will change the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, so he can only reduce the possible conflicts between the two to ensure temporary harmony.
And now this contradiction, Li Yuan is afraid that he has identified me.
In a blink of an eye, Li Yuan had stood up from the upper seat, and I hurriedly lowered my head to wait for him to leave. Li Shimin took my hand from the side, said goodbye to Li Jiancheng, and then pulled me out of the two halls. When I got outside, I withdrew my hand and looked around and whispered, "It's better not to pull outside, so as not to lose your identity."
Li Shimin smiled casually: "Okay, it's up to you. Come on, follow me back to Chengqian Hall.
What he said was quite meaningful. I smiled and walked behind him slightly. At this moment, what was waiting for me seemed to be the hall of happiness that nourished the spring flowers.
Li Shimin took me to the Chengqian Hall and called the concubine and the palace people to come. The people who saw me were very surprised, just waiting for Li Shimin to explain something. Princess Qin and Concubine Yang also sat quietly. Although their expressions were also surprised but stable, they quietly looked between me and Li Shimin, as if they wanted to see something. Unfortunately, Li Shimin just made a cup of tea at this time, and it was not slow.
Finally, Li Shimin said: "The matter of Mo Xiran, the head of Chengqian Hall, and the son of the East Palace has been clarified, proving that she is innocent. The killing of the son of the East Palace is purely slandered, and the emperor has now returned to his post. I don't want anyone to ask too much about this matter. It's good to do their own duties. Don't ask too much and don't guess randomly. Do you understand?
The palace man bowed his head and responded, and Li Shimin asked them to retreat. Princess Qin and Concubine Yang approached from the side. Princess Qin first looked at me and asked him with a smile, "Have you heard that Your Highness brought back the Wei sisters from Luoyang? Hasn't reported to the emperor to the Chengqian Hall for so long?"
Li Shimin nodded as if he was suddenly awakened and said, "I'll talk about this in a few days. Thank you for worrying about it."
"This is what it should be." Princess Qin smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's better to put the good daughter Yan and the woman chosen by Your Highness into the Chengqian Hall together, so as to avoid many trivial matters."
Princes Qin looked at me with a smile. I knew what she meant. Although she was happy that she was not embarrassed to refuse me, she had to be stunned by what she had just said. The good girl Yan... Yan Jingwen, she is coming to Chengqian Hall.
