King Qin Li Shimin was poisoned while having a banquet in Shizi Mansion.
This news was like a whirlwind, instantly attacking the entire Chang'an City. The feud between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was already known to everyone in Chang'an City, and now that Li Shimin was poisoned, it happened that he was poisoned at the residence of Li Jiancheng's prince. , the problem in this is really thought-provoking. For a time, the whole city of Chang'an was in an uproar. Even if the Tang Palace sent people to arrest those who spread rumors on the streets, it would be of no avail.
In Qian Mansion, Wan He and his men were also discussing the pros and cons of this matter. Wang Gui frowned and said, "This time Li Shimin was poisoned in Shizi Mansion. Even Li Yuan was furious and directly ordered Li Shimin to be taken away." He went to the Tang Palace for treatment and ordered Li Jiancheng to hand over the poisoner within ten days. It seems that Li Yuan is really angry this time."
"That's right, tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. No matter how angry Li Yuan is, Li Shimin is his son after all. Now several sons are fighting for their own positions and they are going to do this kind of thing. How can Li Yuan, the killer, sit still?" Tai Shifeng couldn't help but sigh, feeling very emotional about this kind of thing.
Let's talk about Li Shimin, whose life was hanging by a thread after the poisonous disease occurred in Shizifu. Fortunately, the doctors arranged by Li Jiancheng at Shizifu were not bad. They arrived in time to save Li Shimin's life. This matter caused such a big fuss, and also... With Li Xiuning beside him, Li Jiancheng couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he could only report it to Li Yuan honestly. After learning about this, Li Yuan was furious. This is what Wang Gui said before. One thing.
I heard everyone discussing there, but Wan He remained silent. Wan He was always present when Li Shimin was poisoned. Although things happened so fast, for some reason, Wan He always felt that something was wrong, but he still felt that something was wrong. It's hard to say what was wrong, especially before Li Shimin got poisoned, Li Shimin kept drinking, which made Wan He always feel that he was very different from the usual Li Shimin, but he couldn't tell what the reason was.
Sitting next to Wan He was Du Ruhui. He lowered his head thoughtfully. After a long while, he raised his head, shook his head and said, "This is not right."
Everyone was discussing how cruel Li Jiancheng was. He could even do such a cruel thing to his own brother. But Du Ruhui suddenly said this, which made everyone confused and looked at him with doubts. Du Ruhui saw that everyone was looking over, and Du Ruhui also said slowly and leisurely: "Then Li Jiancheng has already gained an advantage through the prince's plan, and there is no need to do these unnecessary tricks. In my opinion, he poisoned and killed Li Shimin has no benefit at all. Li Jiancheng is not a fool, and his advisers are not stupid. I can't think of any reason that would make Li Jiancheng do such a stupid thing. Li Jiancheng cannot not know that if Li Shimin died in Shizi's Mansion, what would happen What are the consequences?"
Hearing Du Ruhui's analysis, everyone present widened their eyes and looked at Du Ruhui in surprise. Wan He's heart felt as if a window had been pushed open, and it immediately brightened up. Wan He immediately He just stared at Du Ruhui and asked in a deep voice: "Keming, you mean that this matter was not done by Li Jiancheng."
"It's definitely not Li Jiancheng," Du Ruhui nodded vigorously and said with certainty: "If Li Jiancheng was really that stupid, he would have been defeated by Li Shimin long ago, and Li Yuan would not have hesitated between him and Li Shimin for so long. "
What Du Ruhui said made sense, and everyone started to think about it. After a while, Wang Gui raised his head and frowned and said: "Then, could it be Li Yuanji's doing? Li Yuanji hated Li Shimin so much that he was at the banquet before. I couldn't help but want to kill Li Shimin. Could it be that Li Yuanji came back later and instigated the servants of the Prince's Mansion to poison him secretly?"
When Wang Gui mentioned the suspect Li Yuanji, everyone's eyes immediately brightened up. It seemed that what Wang Gui said made sense. Even Du Ruhui did not raise any objections, but Wan He was not so anxious to draw conclusions. Knowing why, Wan He thought in his heart that this matter was definitely not that simple. Li Shimin's appearance before and after being poisoned appeared in Wan He's mind from time to time, especially the smile on Li Shimin's lips when he toasted him, which made Wan He There is a shuddering feeling.
Let's say that on the seventh day after Li Shimin was poisoned, Li Jiancheng handed over a housekeeper in the Prince's Mansion, indicating that the housekeeper mistakenly dropped the poisonous rat arsenic into Li Shimin's wine and food, and also sent the food to Li Shimin, causing Li Shimin was poisoned. Regardless of whether the answer is true or false, the blame for the whole incident was all placed on such a small butler. Naturally, the butler was beaten to death by Li Yuan's order, which was regarded as revenge for Li Shimin. .
On the next day, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan to return to the Prince of Qin's Mansion for rest, and Li Yuan agreed to Li Shimin's request after much thought. The whole thing seemed to come to an end when Li Shimin returned to the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji The two brothers also shrank their tails and stayed in their own homes, not daring to make any further moves.
In the backyard of Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Shimin was lying on the bed with a face like gold. Next to the bed were Li Xiuning and Li Xiuning's fiancé Chai Shao, who looked worried. Seeing Li Xiuning's worried look, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh and said : "Sister, there is no need to worry. My father has already asked the royal doctor in the palace to diagnose my brother. The toxins have already been cleaned up. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be fine soon."
Li Xiuning's eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, obviously the sequelae of crying for a long time. After hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Xiuning gently shook his head and said: "Second brother, you really did it that day. I was terrified,"
Li Xiuning is not an ordinary lady. Back then, she carried a three-foot green sword and went to the battlefield to kill enemies. Her courage must be much greater than that of ordinary rich ladies. If she were to fight and kill, she would definitely not be scared. She was defeated, but now she was so frightened by Li Shimin's appearance of being poisoned that day that she has not yet recovered. This shows that the importance of Li Shimin as an elder brother is still very important in Li Xiuning's heart. A hint of gratitude flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he smiled: "Big sister , I remember that you were quite courageous back then. This would scare you. Could you be lying to me?"
"Second brother, please stop making fun of me." After hearing Li Shimin's joke, Li Xiuning's cheeks couldn't help but blush. She knew that what Li Shimin said were all anecdotes from her childhood, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment. When Chai Shao next to him saw Li Xiuning's appearance, his already delicate face was even more charming with these two red clouds. Chai Shao simply stared at her.
Seeing Chai Shao's eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod secretly. Although he was very dissatisfied with his father's vision of the heir, at least he had a good vision for choosing a son-in-law. Chai Shao was young and promising, and he was also infatuated with his sister. With such a brother-in-law, at least Li Xiuning will not be afraid of being wronged when she marries into the Chai family. Then Li Shimin smiled and said: "By the way, eldest sister, I'm afraid your marriage to Chai Shao will be soon. Wait until next month." , My father is about to hold a coronation ceremony. At that time, my father will formally promise you to Chai Shao in front of all the civil and military officials. Hahahaha, by then, I will drink your wedding wine, "
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Chai Shao immediately beamed with joy. Although he and Li Xiuning were already engaged, Chai Shao couldn't decide when they would get married. So no matter how anxious Chai Shao was, Li Yuan couldn't. After opening his mouth to get married, he could only wait eagerly. The good news he now received from Li Shimin undoubtedly made Chai Shao's heart completely sink into his stomach. When he looked at Li Xiuning, his eyes became even more filled with emotion. Both joy and longing.
However, Li Xiuning's expression was a little different, especially after hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiuning's eyes flashed with sadness, as if he was not very happy about the good news Li Shimin said, but soon Li Xiuning was He forced a smile and said to Li Shimin: "By the way, second brother, the gate of your bamboo garden can be opened. I also want to go to the bamboo garden to stay for a while."
Li Shimin and Chai Shao were stunned when Li Xiuning suddenly made such a request. However, Li Shimin always loved this sister. Zhuyuan, which usually did not allow others to enter, had no restrictions on Li Xiuning. He nodded and said: "Okay. , you go, the gate of Zhuyuan should be open, if it is closed, you just come to me again,"
Hearing what Li Shimin said, Li Xiuning immediately felt blessed. He turned around as if running away and escaped from the wing. When seeing Li Xiuning leaving like this, Chai Shao couldn't help but froze and wanted to catch up, but in Li Shimin didn't dare to be too explicit in front of him, his face was full of anxiety, he hesitated, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Hahahaha," Li Shimin couldn't help laughing when he saw Chai Shao's appearance, and said to Chai Shao: "Okay, let's go, remember, be careful when you get to the Zhuyuan, don't step on me. of bamboo,”
After receiving Li Shimin's words, Chai Shao immediately beamed with joy, and immediately clasped his fists at Li Shimin and said, "Thank you, King Qin." After saying that, Li Shimin couldn't reply, and he immediately ran out of the wing and chased Li Xiuning.
After Chai Shao also left, the smile on Li Shimin's face slowly faded. After a while, he hummed indifferently: "Okay, they are all gone, come out."
