During the meal, his father Li Dai did not come back. He has many social activities now and it is difficult to eat at home. He usually does not come back until nightfall.
"Mom, I'm going to the old house diagonally opposite today."
Pei Sanniang said "Oh!" "Your father should have written to tell you about the matter in the house opposite."
Li Ye shook his head, "Dad didn't tell me about the house opposite. Butler Liu just told me."
"That's the same. Your father still wants Li Huai to go to Longyou for temporary refuge."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I'm going to talk to dad about this matter tonight."
Pei Sanniang sighed, "Actually, there's no need to talk about it."
Li Ye was startled, "Why?"
"Li Huai wrote a letter and declined. He said that he is now the governor of Ji County and does not want to leave. Dad has no choice but to let him go."
At this time, Li Dai came back. Qingyu quickly stood up and gave the Wanfu gift to his father-in-law. Li Dai nodded, "Aye will eat first. Come to me in the study after dinner. I have eaten."
Li Ye could tell that his father was not in a good mood, so he nodded.
Li Dai smiled gently at Qing Yu again and hurried away.
After dinner, Li Ye went to his father's study. Li Dai paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his hands.
"Father seems to be in a bad mood?" Li Ye walked in.
Li Dai nodded, "Sit down!"
Li Ye sat down aside, and Li Dai sighed and said, "I met the prince in the afternoon."
"Can father still see His Highness the Crown Prince now?"
"Normally it is not allowed, but today is special. We, the Five Prime Ministers, went to see His Highness's condition, and the Emperor allowed it."
"How is His Royal Highness doing now?"
Li Dai let out a long sigh and said: "The condition is very bad. We thought he was pretending to be ill, but now he looks very bad. He looks like he is in his fifties or sixties. His complexion is dull, his face is swollen, and he feels like he has been poisoned."
.”
"Poisoned?"
Li Ye was secretly surprised by his father's conclusion. He knew that his father would never exaggerate. He basically just said what he said. Even his father felt that the prince seemed to be poisoned and the situation must be very serious.
"Could it be a disguise? Pretending to be sick."
"I hope so too, but it doesn't look like he's pretending. He's in a very low mood. The worry in the eyes of the emperor's grandson cannot be concealed at all."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked: "Who is the prince's personal bodyguard?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not Pei Min. Pei Min is by the emperor's side."
Li Ye nodded, "I will have dinner with Uncle Dugu at noon tomorrow. I will ask him, if the prince is poisoned, who will it be?"
"That's not the problem."
Li Dai was upset and said: "The eunuchs and Queen Zhang have joined forces to make Yue King Li Xi the crown prince. If they succeed, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger!"
Li Ye sighed secretly in his heart, "Father still hasn't realized what he wants! Doesn't he know what he wants? If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If there is no muddy water, where can you fish?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Father, there is no need to be too anxious. It is the emperor who ultimately decides whether the prince should be abolished or established. He will consider the safety of his own country. If he doesn't care about him, what's the use of worrying as a minister?"
"You make sense, Ye'er. Do you really want to send troops to help the court suppress the rebellion this time?"
Li Ye nodded, "Sending troops sincerely!"
Li Dai said happily: "I feel relieved with your words. In addition, I want to remind you that you must be careful of being watched in Chang'an. The most disgusting thing about Li Fuguo is that he watches the ministers. It is said that he even watches the emperor, let alone
is you."
Li Ye smiled and said: "He is still spying on me in Longyou! I'm not worried. Have you found the person spying on my father?"
Li Dai said angrily: "Only one was found. He was a guard, but the other one was nowhere to be found. It was hidden very deep. It should be hidden in the inner house."
"If father really wants to get rid of this monitor, I will take action!"
Li Dai shook his head, "Sometimes I thought about firing all the maids and maids in the inner house, but then I changed my mind. If I go with the old ones, the new ones will come again. The key is that this monitor just makes me feel sick and does no harm.
into my life, so I can tolerate it."
The father and son said a few more words, and Li Ye said goodbye and left. He did not mention Li Huai's matter. Since his father was not in a good mood, he would not mention it for the time being.
At night, Qing Yu lay on Li Ye, pressed her face against his chest, and said softly: "My mother-in-law gave me a lot of valuable things today, and even a set of gold jewelry that my second sister gave me back then. My mother-in-law also forced it on me."
I don’t want her to be unhappy, so I have no choice but to accept it.”
Li Ye stroked her hair and smiled: "Your mother-in-law has been looking forward to you getting pregnant all day long and giving birth to a big fat grandson, so she will be happy!"
Qingyu said coquettishly: "I also want to have a fat baby, but I can't. What should I do?"
"Actually, there is a way!" Li Ye smiled.
"If you have any good ideas, please tell me."
Li Ye said a few words in her ear, and Qing Yu nodded, "Master taught me this too, but it's too unfair to my husband."
"I'm fine. Isn't it the same as going out to fight and not being able to taste meat for a few months?"
Qingyu suddenly said happily: "Master calculated the time for me, it's around the 20th of every month, and it will arrive in five or six days."
Li Ye's method was to save seeds and plant them in fertile soil when they were most likely to germinate, so that they would germinate more easily.
In fact, he also had this idea, but he couldn't get rid of Yang Yuhuan's temptation and chased her every night. But now that Yang Yuhuan happened to be away, wasn't it the best season for sowing?
The two hit it off immediately, Qingyu remembered something and said: "Today I finally see through a person."
"who?"
"Husband, do you still remember Xiaohong?"
Li Ye nodded, "She used to be my maid for a few days, and now she follows my mother. I remember that you used to have a good relationship with her, and you often came to have snacks and tea with her."
"Yes, I was still a naive and ignorant little Taoist nun at that time. I couldn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts, yet I actually believed her words."
"What?"
"She told me at that time that she was an orphan. Her parents died early and she didn't have any brothers or sisters. I sympathized with her very much and became a good friend with her."
"Then what?"
"Then today I asked my mother-in-law about Xiao Hong. My mother-in-law said that she is seventeen years old and is going to let her go home to get married, but her parents hope that she can do it for another year, and Xiao Hong also wants to introduce her sister to be a maid. Madam
I agreed because of her service. She obviously has a father, a mother and a sister, but she actually lied to me that she was an orphan. It was in vain that I sympathized with her so much, I was really blind!"
The trait that Qing Yu hates the most and is the most unacceptable is lying. However, his former best friend actually lied a lot. How could Qing Yu not be annoyed?
When Li Ye heard that Xiao Hong wanted to introduce his sister to continue serving the inner house, he suddenly thought, could this Xiao Hong be the one spying on his father?
