Li Cheng was really resentful at this moment, Gong Zuoxiang.
But he didn't dare to say anything with his mouth!
You can only swallow this resentment. Li Qiao added: "In a month or two, the triennial imperial examination will be held. At that time, many students from all over the country will come to Gaoding, and the city gate will be heavily guarded. Take it easy and walk around and look around, otherwise it's your fault if something goes wrong
Ren, once you are held accountable, it will not only implicate you, but also the Minister Gong Zuo and our Li family. "
Imperial Examination
Li Cheng suddenly said: "So the reason for the routine inspection of the city gate is because the imperial examination is to be held?"
"not only!"
"What do you mean? Any other reason?"
Li Qiao's face suddenly turned solemn: "You don't need to ask more about this."
Obviously there is another meaning.
Although Li Cheng was ambiguous, but seeing his eldest brother's gloomy face, he did not dare to ask any more questions.
When he returned to the mansion, Li Qiao let him sit in the forbidden room for one night.
Ordered not to eat dinner!
As a punishment for him to go to the Gong Xiangfu to make a scene.
Li Qiao did not dare to resist.
Go obediently!
That night, Li Qiao went to find Li Wenshu.
Li Wenshu was sitting in the pavilion reading a book.
These books are all brought by her from the academy.
She saw Li Qiao coming over: "Big brother?"
"I'll come see you."
Li Qiao sat down opposite her.
The girl who was waiting on the side poured a glass of water for him and backed out.
Don't disturb the two of you!
Li Qiao looked at her younger sister whom she hadn't seen in two years, and she missed her a bit: "I haven't seen you for two years. You have lost a lot of weight. I wanted to visit you during the Chinese New Year last year, but there was something in the palace, so it was delayed."
"Big brother has a heart, everything is fine with me."
"You come back now, just stay at home with peace of mind." Li Qiao carried the tone of an elder.
"Um."
"By the way, did father tell you about your marriage?"
"Not yet, but I already know." Li Wenshu's tone was extremely flat.
Can't you hear she's happy
Still unhappy
Li Qiao actually knew that Li Wenshu had always had someone in her heart, but she never exposed it in her face, only said: "The Gong family and my Li family have always been friends, whether in court or in private, they are closely related! So your The marriage is also predestined."
"I know, in short, everything is according to my father's arrangement."
"It's best if you understand."
"Yeah!" She nodded, her face still flat, but she suddenly remembered something and asked seriously, "By the way, did something major happen to Gao Ding?"
Li Qiao: "Why do you ask that?"
"When I entered the city today, the guards at the city gate said that there would be a routine inspection, but if something hadn't happened, how could this happen? Besides, there has never been such a big battle before and after the imperial examinations. Did something happen in the palace?"
As expected of Li Wenshu!
As long as she thought about it carefully, she knew that something was wrong!
When Li Cheng asked about Li Qiao before, he didn't say much, but he knew that his sister was different from others, and he could even give him advice sometimes!
Then he didn't hide it, and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. It is indeed related to the palace, but... it is about the king."
Along the way, Li Wenshu also heard a lot about King Hu Yi.
King Hu Yi is seriously ill and is worrying about the establishment of the Crown Prince!
Li Wenshu guessed: "So, it's about Li Chu?"
"Not at all."
"Um?"
"The king's health is not as good as before, and the important affairs of the DPRK and China have been completely handed over. At this critical period, the king is worried that there will be sudden incidents."
"What's the accident?"
Li Qiao continued with a solemn expression, "You should know about a civil war twenty years ago."
After saying this, Li Wenshu suddenly understood!
Li Qiao: "When the previous king died, many people in the court who were unwilling to return to the court were demoted one by one from Gaoding, so the king was worried, worried that there would be a rebellion in the current period, and it would cause a storm, so he ordered The entire city of Gaoding is on alert, and no suspicious people are allowed to enter."
To put it bluntly, King Hu Yi was worried that the remaining power of the previous dynasty would rebel at this time when he was seriously ill!
"It turns out that it is." Li Wenshu said in a deep voice, "But the power of the officials of the previous dynasty has been weakened, and there are people monitoring it everywhere.
"It's also just in case."
Don't be afraid of anything, just be afraid of 10,000!
Li Wenshu nodded and reminded Li Qiao: "You walk around the king all the year round, and you have to be careful yourself! Besides, you haven't established a reserve yet, so it's always right to be careful."
"Don't worry, I know what to do, not to mention my father is there to remind me."
The two did not continue to discuss the matter in depth.
Li Qiao left after a few words.
And Li Wenshu was sitting in the pavilion, no longer in the mood to read.
Eyes free.
Stare at the slightly swaying branches in the distance!
A worried look!
…
the next day.
After Li Cheng was locked up in the forbidden room for one night, he came out of it early in the morning and hurried back to the house.
Get into bed and sleep.
But just as he closed his eyes, the servant in the house hurried to urge him.
"Prince, Lord Hou asked you to report to the city department quickly."
"No!" He rolled over.
"Master..."
"Don't disturb me!"
Then go to sleep.
The little servant had no choice but to run to the Marquis of Pingyang.
So after a while, the Marquis of Pingyang came, holding a whip in his hand, and without saying a word, he slammed Li Cheng on the bed, causing him to almost jump off the bed.
The Marquis of Pingyang scolded: "Can't I forget what I said to you yesterday? Why don't you hurry up?"
Li Cheng stared at a pair of panda eyes, and reluctantly climbed to the city department.
…
At this time the palace.
Li Qiao entered the palace early in the morning and was in front of King Hu Yi's bed.
Bow slightly!
King Hu Yi sat on the bed with his hands on his knees, trying his best to sit up straight.
His face was pale, his cheekbones were slightly raised, and his eyes were very hollow.
It looks like it's not going to be long!
Even the burly body has lost a lot of weight.
I can't see the stalwart charm of the all-powerful back then!
He panted slightly, coughed a few times, then raised his eyes to look at Li Qiao in front of him, and asked aloud, "Is there any news?"
Li Qiao handed back: "There is no trace of the person sent out."
King Hu Yi's complexion changed greatly: "What's the meaning of no news?"
Displeased in his voice.
Li Cheng: "A group of people secretly went to Chen's house and captured Master Chen and his son. They were going to take them all the way back to Gaoding, but in the middle of the way, the pedestrian disappeared and disappeared. It didn't disappear."
That's the end of it-
"boom!"
King Hu Yi slapped his hand on the edge of the bed.
Anger flashed in his eyes.
Li Qiao stopped speaking. Just lowered his head a little deeper.
