Concubine Xi didn't seem to care about Su and You Yun's presence, so Li Luo didn't let Su and You Yun avoid them.
Concubine Xi chatted with Li Luo for a few words, but she asked about Luo. Listening to the tone of Concubine Xi's words, it seemed that she had some personal relationship with Li Luo's mother, but Li Luo had never heard her mother talk about it.
.
After most of this journey, seeing that the two of them were going to part ways soon, Concubine Xi sighed sadly and said softly: "Xuan Lou, when you are free, I will ask Xuan Ying to find you. You two brothers
Let's sit together and have a good chat, Xuanlou, you have to help your fourth brother."
Li Luo was startled and asked in confusion: "Madam, where do you start talking about this? What's wrong with fourth brother? As long as Xuanlou can do it, Xuanlou will not refuse."
"That's not the case, it's just that, hey, Xuanlou, you are a smart man. You know everything about the situation in the palace. Xuanying received an errand a few days ago, and now he can help the emperor solve his problems."
Li Luo nodded and hummed. Li Xuanying took the order to Zhongshu Ling after the end of the year, and handled the political affairs of the DPRK and China together with Taifu Ling Shutong. Although he did not have the Zhongshu Ling token in hand, he was in power after all.
The Yamen, and Emperor Wanlong seemed to be interested in tempering Li Xuanying. There were different opinions for a while, which made Li Xuanying's name really famous.
"It's a good thing that my fourth brother has come to work in Zhongshu Ling. He is familiar with the government affairs of the DPRK and the Central Government. He will naturally be able to take charge of his own affairs in the future and share the emperor's worries."
"Xuanlou, I also know what you are talking about. I am not worried about Ying'er going to Zhongshu Ling. There is still Lord Ling involved in the affairs of the court, so there will probably not be any big trouble. What I am worried about is Xuan Ying himself.
Speaking of being on your own, among you brothers, you are the most trusted by the emperor. Xuanci is not bad either, but Xuanying is a little behind you. Hey, I am afraid that Xuanying cannot understand some things.
I did the wrong thing and said the wrong thing. Now that Xuanying is the elder brother of you, how can I not be worried?"
Li Luo sighed secretly, no matter what Concubine Xi said was true or false, it was indeed the helplessness of the emperor's family. King Ji Li Xuanying was inferior to King Li Xuanci of England in terms of talent, learning and decision-making, and even the late King Wu Li Xuanxu of Ming Dynasty was inferior to him.
Li Xuanying is more magnanimous. The prince was deposed, the second prince died at an early age, the third prince granted death, and now the fourth prince Li Xuanying has no choice but to live or die.
"I'm not worried about Ying'er's talent and lack of knowledge. I'm just worried about his great ambition and talent. Xuanlou, if you have a chance, you have to remind your fourth brother. I just want him to be safe. Don't fight with things that shouldn't be fought. I want him to be safe."
Several times I wanted the emperor to issue an order to let Xuan Ying leave Zhuocheng and become a prince elsewhere, but I never had the chance. Ying'er went to Zhongshu Ling. To be honest with Xuanlou, I am more afraid than happy now, so
I ask you to take care of Xuanying."
Li Luo's expression became solemn, and Chengyan responded: "Xuanlou has written down the instructions given by the empress. Brothers should support each other, so don't worry, the empress."
"With your words, I feel relieved. If Xuan Ying has offended you before, I am here to apologize for him. Xuan Lou, you must not take it to heart."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
"Well, then I won't delay your departure." Concubine Xi smiled warmly, but the worry in her eyes still appeared and disappeared, making people feel helpless at a glance.
Concubine Xi got on the sedan chair and headed to Taihe Palace. Li Luo took a long breath and said tiredly: "Let's go..."
Before they finished speaking, Su and Youyun suddenly called out softly, "Your Majesty, wait a minute."
Li Luo looked at Su and Youyun in astonishment. He saw Su and Youyun looking around and looking at every corner of the palace. After he was convinced, he patted his chest and said crisply: "Your Highness, let's go.
.”
Su and You Yun's childish looks made Li Luo laugh involuntarily. He swept away the tiredness on his body, and his steps became much more brisk, and he felt that it was not that difficult.
They met the four concubines in the palace once in a day, and when they were about to leave the palace, the sun had already set. Su and You Yun had recovered from the shame and anger just now, and followed Li Luo with a bright smile.
, no complaints, and no signs of impatience.
"These empresses in the palace look very kind, especially Concubine Xi, the last one we met." Su and Youyun said innocently.
Li Luo glanced at Su and Youyun. He didn't know whether Su and Youyun were really so naive or said it on purpose. Even if Li Luo wanted to believe that Su and Youyun really didn't know about the dangers in the palace, Suhe Mansion in Yizhou didn't know either.
Simple, the city of Su and Youyun may be deeper than it seems on the surface.
The concubines in the harem look kind and kind, but they kill people without even frowning. Li Luo has not been in Zhuocheng for a long time in recent years, but many people have died in the palace. Under the fourth concubine, the ninth concubine
, Jieyu, beauties, talents and so on. Every year, old people go and new people come. It is normal for one or two to die. If the time is not good, several will die suddenly in a month. The palace maid follows people
Not to mention, some bodies may not even be found.
Which of the imperial concubines in this palace is the most common one? They all look the same on the surface, but they look the same behind the scenes. It is even more common to hide a knife in a smile. But of course there are exceptions. At present, this Concubine Shu is different from ordinary people. She is a
Alien.
“Without deep friendship, it is naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false, so don’t judge too early.”
"Hey, why did the prince say that? Is Concubine Xi just worried about her son?"
"Is that so? Miss Suhe, don't you think these words are meant for me as well as for you?"
"Tell me?" Su and Youyun were startled, then suddenly realized, "It's my sister."
"Well, there are some things you wouldn't say if you meant to do them."
"My lord, you don't believe her?"
"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief." Li Luo said lightly, then suddenly turned to look at Su and Youyun, and said calmly, "Do you know what your sister is worried about right now?"
"What is it?" Su and Youyun asked in confusion.
"Heir."
"Heir?"
"Well, if the emperor establishes a prince, the position of queen may go to someone else. This is what your sister is worried about."
"Then is this Concubine Xi's son the most promising to become the prince?"
"Not necessarily, but there is a chance. The emperor will eventually establish a crown prince. If your sister has no heirs, her position as queen will not be stable."
"Oh." Su He Youyun nodded repeatedly, and then he understood. He raised his head and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Li Luo looking at him with a half-smile. Su He Youyun's face turned red, and his heart skipped a beat, as thin as a mosquito's groan.
Asked: "Why is Your Majesty looking at me?"
"It turns out that you already knew that your sister was going to be the queen."
