Damn bitch, forget it if you want to die, don't drag me and other brothers into the water, okay? For a vixen like Helan Minyue, Li Xian didn't have much ill feeling at first, and even had some expectations. After all, no matter
After all, the presence of Helan Minyue and his daughter making trouble in the harem can affect Empress Wu's energy to some extent. However, Helan Minyue's exclamation caused Li Xian to lose all the remaining goodwill in his heart.
, I wish I could take a crumpled piece of rag and stuff it into Helan Minyue's small cherry mouth.
"Emperor Father, Queen Mother, the gift prepared by the child and Sixth Brother has arrived, please allow the child to present it." Li Xian was angry and angry in his heart, but he could not sit back and watch Li Xian explode in court, so he had to step out and stand in front of Li Xian.
A small step forward from Li Xian's side, intentionally or unintentionally blocking half of Li Xian's body, he bowed and loudly reported the report.
Li Xian was obviously worried too much. Li Xian's career as a vassal for more than half a year was not in vain. Although he was extremely unhappy, Li Xian had no intention of getting angry. He just endured it more uncomfortable. At this time
Being interrupted by Li Xian, the anger in his heart became a little lighter, and the look he looked at Li Xian became a little more grateful, just because Li Xian had already felt the influence of Li Xian's interruption.
Contains a caring heart.
"Okay, okay, hand it over, hand it over."
Gaozong was really confused today. He had nothing to do after lunch, so he planned to take advantage of the time when Empress Wu was busy taking care of Xiao Taiping to summon Wu Shun and his daughter to have a drink and have some fun, but he never expected that
As soon as the interest was aroused, he was suddenly interrupted by Empress Wu. Not to mention, he actually heard that his two sons had arrived outside the palace gate, and it was impossible not to accept them. This caused the embarrassment that Li Xian and Brother Li felt when they first entered the palace.
The situation has arisen, and it has become so noisy. Although he is still sitting at the top with a smile, in fact, he has been impatient for a long time. When he heard that Li Xian's gift had arrived, he was happy to just go with the flow without asking.
Empress Wu's intention was so that some people arbitrarily ordered Li Xian to present the gift.
"Yes, my child obeys the order."
Gao Zong did not want long nights and many dreams, and Li Xian naturally thought the same way. As soon as the gifts were presented, Gao Zong only had to say a few words of praise, and the two brothers could go away. After hearing Gao Zong's words, Li Xian
Without any hesitation, he hurriedly agreed to the promise, waved his hand to the young eunuchs to carry the box forward, opened the lid of the box with his own hands, took out two small long boxes, and held them in his hands.
He walked to a position three steps away from Gaozong's banquet and stopped. He raised the two boxes above his head with both hands, bowed and said: "Father, Queen Mother, the child and Sixth Brother have prepared some small things. Please ask Father,
The queen mother has seen it."
"Well, bring it up."
It was just an excuse for Gaozong to see the gifts. At this time, he saw that the two boxes in Li Xian's hands were long and slender, very different from ordinary gift boxes. He actually became a little interested, so he smiled and waved his hand.
The young eunuch who was waiting next to him ran down and took the box from Li Xian's hand and presented it to Gaozong.
"Hey, this thing is..." Gaozong casually opened the lid of the gift box, revealing a folding fan with jade bones and white silk inside. He was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly reached out and took out the folding fan, looking up and down.
After a while, I couldn't figure out how to use this folding fan - the folding fan invented by Li Xian was quite popular in Chang'an officialdom, but in Luoyang, although it was sold among the people, it was not sold in the palace yet.
At least Gaozong himself had never seen a folding fan, so it was normal for him to not know how to use it.
"Father, this is a folding fan, and so is the one in my child's hand." Li Xian smiled and took out a folding fan from his wide sleeves, flicked it open with shaking hands, and fanned it a few times as a demonstration.
"Oh? It's so exquisite. Okay, it's very suitable to my liking. Not bad, not bad, good. Xian'er, Xian'er is so thoughtful. Mei Niang, look at how exquisite this fan is. It's very easy for me to use. It's very good.
, very good." I don't know whether Emperor Gaozong really liked it, or if he didn't want the embarrassing situation to continue. The repeated cheers seemed extremely trivial.
"It's fine if your Majesty thinks it's good. I think it's good for me." Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Xian intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't move the gift box in front of him, but just smiled and agreed.
"Well, since I'm the Queen, I think it's good, so I accepted the folding fan as a sign of filial piety from you. Well, Xian'er and Xian'er have been traveling for days, so they must be tired, so they all left."
Emperor Gaozong obviously didn't want to stay in the Hall of Benevolence for a moment longer. He smiled and said a few words. He didn't even wait for Brother Li Xian to say anything. He stood up and shook his hand with a folding fan.
After walking out of Renxin Palace, Helan Minyue and her daughter saw this and didn't want to stay any longer. They each stood up, blessed Empress Wu, said goodbye, followed Gaozong and ran away without a trace.
Only the two brothers Li Xian couldn't leave, so they had no choice but to send the others off respectfully.
"My sons and ministers, please respectfully ask your mother for instructions."
After Gaozong and others left, Empress Wu didn't make any move, and she didn't even look at the two brothers. She just sat still with her eyes lowered, and her thoughtful and calm look came out.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing, making the two elder brothers uncomfortable. After a long period of silence, Li Xian saw that it was not a problem if the stalemate continued, so he had no choice but to step forward and bow to ask for instructions.
One sentence.
"There is no need for instructions. If a wise son serves as an official and can benefit the whole place, then it is good. Xian'er is devoted to learning and diligent and self-motivated. He will be successful in the future. Mom is not worried about it, and it is even more rare for you to do so.
My filial piety has increased, and my mother is very happy. You are all tired, so go down and have a rest." After hearing Li Xian's words, Wu Meiniang's lowered eyes quickly flashed with a sharp light, but when she raised her head,
At this moment, his face was already filled with a happy smile, and he praised the two brothers very much.
"The Queen has given you too much praise. The sons and ministers should keep in mind the Queen's teachings and use them to motivate themselves every day. They will never dare to live up to the Queen's expectations. It is getting late, and the sons and ministers will not dare to disturb the Queen's rest and retire."
As soon as the two brothers heard Empress Wu calling her to leave, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer. After each making a humble speech, they left the palace side by side.
"snort!"
After the two brothers Li Xian left, Empress Wu sat in silence for a long time, her eyes changing constantly, her face getting darker and darker. After a long time, she suddenly snorted, stood up and said to
Without even looking at the gift box placed on the table, he flicked his sleeves and left the Hall of Renxin.
"Seventh brother, let's go together to gather at my brother's house."
Li Xian and Li Xian walked out of Luoyang Palace in silence. When they reached their carriages, Li Xian suddenly issued an invitation.
"Sixth Brother invited me, and I should have gladly accepted it, but I'm exhausted today. How about we meet again tomorrow morning?" Li Xian obviously hesitated. He originally thought about agreeing to Li Xian's invitation, but he couldn't.
When it came to his lips, he still forced himself to take it back. Because Li Xian had not thought clearly about the countermeasures, it was in vain to get together at this time, so he declined Li Xian's invitation.
"Forget it, we'll be fine tomorrow. Sixth brother, take care of yourself and take the first step for me."
When Li Xian saw Li Xian's polite refusal, he didn't press any further. He nodded and got into the carriage on his own. After a moment, the large group of people suddenly started and drove towards the annex of Prince Lu's Mansion.
The trouble is big, I'm afraid someone will die this time! After Li Xian sent Li Xian away, he didn't stay in front of the palace for long. After giving orders to Gao Miao, he got into his carriage and thought about it all the way.
Based on what he saw and heard today, he already knew the murderous intention of Empress Wu, but as for how to deal with it, he still had no idea. In his previous life, Li Xian did not go with him to Mount Tai. As for Fengchan Taishan,
What happened at that time was just heard from hearsay, and we don’t know what the real situation was. We only know that both Helan Minyue and her daughter died. It is said that they died of food poisoning when they went to the Wu family’s family banquet. Is this true?
Li Xian was not sure. At that time, it was Empress Wu's two cousins Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun who took the blame. Both of them were beheaded by Empress Wu's order. As a result, everyone from the two families was exiled to the border.
After that, no one in the harem could compete with Empress Wu for favor, and Gaozong, who was originally henpecked, no longer had the courage to struggle, and the court situation also deteriorated.
Cruel, this is the true face of Empress Wu. As long as it gets in her way, she will kill her brothers, sisters, and even her children. Li Xian has been mentally prepared for this, but he is not surprised. However,
Then again, it would be better if those two "cousin uncles" are dead, so as to save Empress Wu from bringing these two people to the court to stir up troubles in the future in order to control the government. Of course, if we can even connect the dead father
It is better to kill Wu Sansi, Wu Chengsi and others together. In this sense, Li Xian can add fuel to the flames. It is best to let the "Wu family" be slaughtered by everyone. It is also a good thing to eliminate the roots of Empress Wu. As for
How to do it specifically, we might as well wait and see when the time comes, but Li Xian was a little unsure about whether to do it this way.
Yes, Li Xian hates He Lan Minyue, a little girl who doesn't know the importance of things. However, if this coquettish girl stays, she can greatly divide Empress Wu's favor in the harem, and at the very least, it can also affect Empress Wu's energy. If she can make him
It would be a good thing if his mother dies and he lives alone. The question is whether it can be done is hard to say. In a word, the certainty is really not high. If he falls into it, the fun will be terrible.
Now that it's serious, Li Xian has no intention of being a scapegoat, so he has to think carefully about whether he should intervene in this matter. For a while, Li Xian really couldn't think of a reason, and his head hurt a little.
