Li Zhiying walked to him, put on a glove first, and then checked his pulse.
After a while, Li Zhiying withdrew her hand and said: "All the toxins in His Highness's body have been removed, and there will be no more serious problems."
Li Xian said softly: "Miss Zhiying, if you hadn't saved me, my life would have been lost. In fact, when I thought about it afterwards, not only did I have no hatred for the person who poisoned me, but I was actually quite grateful to him.
"
Li Zhiying remained silent, and Xue Yujin asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"If he hadn't poisoned me, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Miss Zhiying." Li Xian stared at Li Zhiying.
Xue Yujin's expression changed and he said: "Your Highness King Pei, Zhiying is the unmarried wife of Duke Zhou. Please respect your words."
Li Xian stared at Li Zhiying and said word by word: "Miss Zhiying, as long as you say a word, I will immediately go to my father, the Queen, and the Queen to ask them to betroth you to me. I will go and tell my cousin!"
"
Li Zhiying looked at Li Xian quietly, her eyes clear, as if she had seen everything in Li Xian's heart.
Li Xian was slightly startled, quickly looked away, and said with a wry smile: "I am the one who lost my composure."
Li Zhiying remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Li Xian said again: "I have a few words that I would like to say to Miss Zhiying alone. Is it okay?"
Xue Yujin was about to object when he suddenly saw Li Zhiying looking over.
She knew this friend well and knew that she was going to make her words clear, but it would be inconvenient for her to be here. She said, "Okay, Zhiying, I'll wait for you at the door. Call me if you need anything."
After leaving the study, he closed the door.
"Your Highness has something to say," Li Zhiying said.
Li Xian scratched his forehead and said helplessly: "Miss Zhiying, I know you must think that this king has some purpose in marrying you. I..."
"Your Highness, whether you have a purpose or not, I will never marry you." Li Zhiying said slowly.
Li Xian smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you already have someone in mind. Is it Wu Chengsi? I really envy him."
"Why would your Highness tell such lies?" Li Zhiying lowered her eyes and said.
Li Xian was stunned and said seriously: "Miss Zhiying, I know that you are a smart girl and may have figured out my purpose of returning to Beijing. Yes, I hope to get your grandfather's support, but I
The king also really likes you and wants you to be my princess!"
"..."
"Don't you believe it?"
"Your Highness, we have known each other for less than three months."
Li Xian raised his head and said: "It may only be three months to you, but to me, who is wandering between life and death, it seems like half a lifetime. That was the most vulnerable time in my life, and your every frown and smile are all...
It has left a profound mark in my heart, which I am afraid I will never be able to wipe away or erase in my lifetime."
Li Zhiying showed a slightly embarrassed look and said, "Your Highness, I am the fiancée of Duke Zhou. Please don't say such things to me again!"
Li Xianwei was stunned for a moment and then said calmly: "I understand, it seems that you already have a crush on him. But I think that I am no worse than Wu Chengsi in all aspects. As far as I know, you know him well."
It doesn’t take long, so why do you care about him so much?”
Li Zhiying was silent for a moment and whispered: "Because like his grandfather, he is a battlefield hero who protects his family and country."
Li Xian raised his voice and said: "In terms of military merits, I also made a lot of achievements when I was stationed in Shanyu's Protectorate. I should not be inferior to him."
Li Zhiying was silent for a long time again and said slowly: "Your Highness, Zhiying grew up in the army."
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of her words. His cheeks turned red and he said, "Are you saying that my military exploits are fake?"
Li Zhiying lowered her head and said nothing.
Li Xian's eyes flickered for a few times and he said slowly: "Only you dare to say this in front of me. Yes, the rumors outside are indeed exaggerated, but do you think Wu Chengsi's military achievements are real?
"
Li Zhiying still didn't speak.
"Let me tell you, I am more familiar with Wu Chengsi than you are. He is as timid as a mouse and knows how to put on a show. Unless there is someone else in his weak body, he will never be able to fight such a battle!"
Li Xian said firmly.
"Zhiying can tell what kind of person he is." Li Zhiying said lightly.
"You were deceived by him! Do you know who are the generals under Wu Chengsi? Pei Xingjian... Liu Shenli... Hei Te Changzhi! They are all very good generals, especially Pei Xingjian, who has obtained the true biography of Su Dingfang's art of war.
, he must be the one behind the scenes!" Li Xian's tone gradually became more serious.
Li Zhiying said: "I wrote to my grandfather and asked him. General Pei did not participate in the two wars. He fought them all by himself."
"Li Ji only wants to marry you to Wu Chengsi, so he will naturally speak for him!" Li Xian became angry in embarrassment.
Li Zhiying's expression froze and she said coldly: "Your Highness, Zhiying has resigned." She pushed the door open and her figure disappeared behind the door.
Li Xian let out a long sigh and sat down on the chair.
Soon, three men filed in.
One of the thirty-year-old men in military uniform was Li Ji's eldest grandson, Li Jiye. Seeing Li Xian's face, he knew the result was not good, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, your highness, I will persuade my sister-in-law again when I get back."
Li Xian waved his hand and said: "I have figured out a thing or two about your sister's temperament. She will not change her mind again. It seems that I have no choice but to give up."
Another young man with an imposing manner said: "Your Highness, do you understand the reason?" This boy is Chen Zi'ang, a mad student in Luoyang.
"She already has her heart set on something." Li Xian replied while leaning back on his seat.
"who is it?"
"Of course it's his fiancé, my good cousin, Wu Chengsi." Li Xian said with emotion.
Chen Ziang said: "That would be troublesome. If it were someone else, we would have room to operate."
Li Xian shook his head and said: "If it were someone else, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
A middle-aged scribe with a solemn face said: "Of the four major military factions, Liu Rengui's faction supports the prince. We must win over one of the other three factions, otherwise the situation will be unfavorable."
This middle-aged man was Zhang Jianzhi, whom Wu Chengsi had wanted to win over, but unfortunately he was taken into the palace by King Pei first. Now, like Chen Ziang, he serves as the chief historian of the palace.
Chen Ziang raised his eyebrows and said, "That being said, Su Dingfang has rejected His Highness's overtures, and things are not going well with Li Ji. Could it be that he wants to win over Xue Rengui?"
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said: "The person who came with Miss Li just now seems to be the eldest lady of the Xue family, His Highness King Pei. How about you change the target?"
Li Xian glared at him and said angrily: "For a big thing, it's fine for me to sacrifice a little, but Xue Yujin doesn't seem to have a good impression of me, so it's probably difficult to succeed. I think you can give it a try!"
Chen Ziang laughed and said: "The prince is joking, I can't subdue Xue Rengui's unruly daughter."
Zhang Jianzhi said seriously: "Your Highness, Xue Rengui, like Su Dingfang, mainly influences the army at the border. Only Li Ji can compete with Liu Rengui within the imperial court."
Li Xian said with deep eyes: "Today, I have to admire my queen mother. She is ahead of me in everything, and she made Wu Chengsi and Li Zhiying make an engagement early. Now Li Zhiying also loves Wu Chengsi. , in this case, I can no longer speak to my father."
"Brother Jiye, I'm afraid I can only rely on you for this matter." Chen Ziang glanced at Li Jiye.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, marriage matters are always decided by father and brother. I will definitely persuade grandpa to let Zhiying marry you." Li Jiye said solemnly.
The last scribe with a gloomy expression among the four narrowed his eyes and said: "If Li Sikong is not here, then General Li will make the decision in everything."
Li Jiye was furious: "Wan Jun, what do you mean by this?"
Zhang Jianzhi frowned and said coldly: "General Manager Wan, Li Sikong is the pillar of the imperial court and the pillar of the army. Do you want to trap His Highness in injustice with these words?"
Chen Ziang agreed: "Yes, if Li Sikong dies, what's the point of His Highness marrying a daughter of the Li family? It's better not to say such stupid things in the future."
The Yin Zhe scribe responded in a low voice and lowered his head.
Chen Ziang thought for a while and then said: "Your Highness, Wu Chengsi will not be able to stay in Beijing for long. After he leaves, let Brother Jiye create more opportunities for you and Miss Li. With your literary talent and demeanor, how can you still conquer the enemy?" Can’t you love this girl?”
Li Xian raised his hand and said, "Let's talk about this later. This afternoon, envoys from the Tocharian Kingdom came to see me again, hoping that I would put their tribute in front of the Uighur Kingdom. What do you think?"
Chen Ziang said loudly: "I think this can be done. The Uighur envoys came to His Highness the Prince a few days ago and arranged their ranking in front of Tocharu. As long as we can help Tocharu regain their seats, those foreigners will The people of the country will know that your influence in the court is not weaker than that of the prince."
Li Xian asked several other people, and seeing that everyone agreed, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's take care of this matter."
