Li Shimin and Empress Changsun returned to Wencheng Hall again, and the husband and wife sat opposite each other.

On the table, candles flickered, and the steam on the iron stove sizzled softly.

And Zhao Kun and Hu Shanggong both stood quietly at the entrance of the hall, with dignified expressions, they looked at the pair of His Majesty and Empress who were sitting on the table.

Zhao Kun couldn't help but whispered to Hu Shanggong. "Hu Shanggong, how long have you and your empress been here?"

Hu Shanggong didn't hide anything, he sighed and then explained in a low voice.

"It's been quite a long time. The empress has heard what should be heard."

Zhao Kun couldn't help but smacked his mouth, well, this time, it's really embarrassing.

Li Shimin opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to explain it. After all, he didn't know how much his beloved wife Guanyin, who was expressionless now, knew.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun, who has always had excellent emotional control, took the initiative to speak.

"This concubine knows that when my husband does things, he always makes decisions before acting. From my concubine's point of view, my husband's actions today are clearly intentional..."

Li Shimin sighed, looked at Empress Changsun, and explained patiently.

"Well, I did it intentionally for my husband, but I didn't really want Chengqian to do that."

Empress Changsun just slightly raised her eyebrows, waiting for her husband's next explanation.

"Guanyin maidservant, you must also know that Chengqian's growth has experienced many twists and turns, but his ambition is very firm. This makes me gratified, but also worrying."

"Being humble and broad-minded is a necessary quality for an emperor.

However, the lack of thunderbolt methods and sharp edges is Chengqian's shortcoming. "

"As my husband is getting older, how long can I be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Husband!" Empress Changsun's complexion changed slightly, and she whispered.

"Don't worry, my husband can still support it now, but if there is something wrong with my husband.

Guanyin's servant thinks that the prince should be able to win the next situation? "

Empress Changsun stared blankly at her husband in front of her, watching him continue to talk.

Empress Changsun is also very aware of the weakness of her eldest son Chengqian, not to mention the more dangerous court.

It's the east palace like a fence, the crown prince is struggling to control it now, this is the most worrying thing.

Although among them, the prince may have thought of avoiding suspicion, but Empress Changsun was also a little worried.

The husband is getting older and older, and when the day comes, the one who ascends the throne and dominates the power of the Tang Dynasty will be the crown prince.

If the crown prince lacks the means to become a husband, I am afraid that there will be a real disturbance at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. If he is a little careless, no one can say what the consequences will be.

"I almost blamed my husband by mistake..."

Empress Changsun took the initiative to move to Li Shimin's side, caressing his temples that were getting more and more silver frost, feeling distressed.

Li Shimin held his wife's slender hand, and said with a relieved smile.

"It's my husband's fault. If I had known that Guanyin's servant could understand my intentions, I shouldn't have kept it from you in the first place."

"My husband wants to see how far he can go, if he is too lenient.

Well, for the sake of my husband, I can clean up some thorns for him as soon as possible, and hope that when he sits in this position in the future, it will be smoother. "

Empress Changsun snuggled into her husband's arms, patted her husband's back lightly, and nodded slightly.

At this moment, she still doesn't understand that the older and older husband has probably made up his mind to help Li Chengqian.

That's right, since the previous dynasty, no crown prince has been able to succeed to the throne safely.

My husband hopes that Li Chengqian, a kind and gentle prince with a broad mind, can take on this burden safely.

"Husband, if this happens, I'm afraid it will hurt you, husband..."

"I am for the whole world, for my Tang Dynasty to be able to carry on the past and prosper forever."

Empress Changsun stared blankly into the distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart...

#####

Li Chengqian was sitting in the carriage, the short beard that was originally flying on his face seemed to be drooping like his depressed mood at this moment.

Sitting in the swaying carriage in a daze, my father's words today have been echoing in my mind.

In addition, his previous conversations with Li You in that Huangzhuang were intertwined repeatedly, making his mind already in a mess.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." At this moment, Ning Zhong's cautious voice came from outside the carriage.

Li Chengqian seemed to have been summoned back to his soul, his eyes finally slowly focused, and fell on Ning Zhong who opened the curtain of the car in front of him.

"Your Highness, we've arrived at the East Palace. The guards at the gate of the palace said that Yu Zhanshi, Cheng Taibao and General Fang are still in the palace at this moment, waiting to be seen."

Hearing this moment, Li Chengqian, who was originally dull-eyed, seemed to have been injected with a tube of chicken blood into his buttocks, and his whole body suddenly became energetic again.

"Brother Chu Bi is here too? Hurry up, hurry up, where are they? Hurry up and take Gu there."

Li Chengqian jumped out of the carriage excitedly, and gave instructions repeatedly.

#####

"Three twos and one three...Hey, Yu Zhanshi, can you stop being distracted, it's time for you to play the card."

After Cheng Chubi took a picture of one-on-three, he saw Yu Zhanshi holding the bamboo card, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't help reminding him.

"Oh...it's my turn, I'll blow it up."

"???" Cheng Chubi's eyeballs bulged to the extreme in an instant, looking at the cards that Yu Zhanshi had left on the card table, he felt bad all of a sudden.

"Yu Zhanshi, what are you doing? The two of us are Pingnong, and Fang Erlang is the landlord, okay? I only have one card left. How dare you blow me up?"

Fang Jun on the side almost laughed out loud, but seeing Chu Bi's dispirited look, he tactfully controlled his expression and shook his head to express that he was sorry.

"...You didn't remind me, you just got out, I'm six."

"A seven."

"...Pass!" Cheng Chubi gritted his teeth while looking at the remaining sheet of seven~lightnovelpub.net~ in his hand, and said viciously. For his grandma, he can't make it through this day.

Obviously, he has done a good job, Fang Xiaoer, the landlord, must have no bombs, as long as he can get by with three belts and one, he can clean up Fang Xiaoer.

As a result, this poor farmer compatriot who was distracted broke his well-calculated game.

In the end, Fang Jun put down a long series of straights with a smirk, then one-on-one, and then a small three, which perfectly ended the hand.

Cheng Chubi, who was in great pain in his heart, looked up to the sky and sighed, such a good card was actually disturbed by his comrades, and even doubled it once.

Yu Zhining, who realized that he had ruined the good situation by playing cards, also smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, brother Chubi, what a big deal, it's only one game..."

"Only one game? Just now you played at least five cards wrong, okay?"

"..."
