It's not a good habit to lose everything, especially valuable things, you have to take them with you.
Given how much Miss Liu Er liked Qiu Shui, how sad would she be if this sword was lost
Fortunately, she usually forgets at home and by his side. If she throws it outside, throws it elsewhere. Now that the world is declining and people's hearts are not old, not everyone is like him. It's hard to get back.
Therefore, it is necessary for Li Yi to help her develop good habits again. Seeing her standing still, he grabbed her arm, put Qiushui in her hand, and said, "Remember not to forget next time."
…
After Miss Liu Er and Xiaohuan went out, Li Mingzhu walked over and closed the door.
Li Yi took a few steps back and immediately became vigilant.
Speak well, what to do with the door closed, whenever he saw the movement of closing the door, he felt a faint pain in his buttocks, he called this "Miss Liu Er's sequelae".
Although Mingzhu has been led by Ms. Liu Er recently and has become violent, she probably won't close the door and beat him up. After all, he hasn't done anything outrageous except for touching her hand last time. .
And because of what happened last time, his hands are still a little weak.
If it wasn't for beating him, then why was the door closed...
Could it be...
He couldn't beat her again and again, if she really wanted to do something, he could only struggle a bit, and he might still have to succumb to her despotic power in the end.
Just when Li Yi was thinking about what posture he should use to resist, Li Mingzhu finally spoke.
"Uncle Ning is back."
"Ah?" Seeing that she sat down at the table, Li Yi was a little disappointed and asked, "Prince Ning has returned to Beijing, when did it happen?"
"Just now." Li Mingzhu poured a cup of tea for himself, and said, "The Cui family, more than two hundred and sixty people, were all escorted to Beijing, and all the officials in Shu Prefecture who had been recruited by the King of Shu were also escorted by Uncle Wang. He came back and was imprisoned in the sky prison of Dali Temple."
"You said... what?" Li Yi stopped pouring tea in mid-air, staring at her blankly.
From the beginning to the end, they regarded the king of Shu and the Cui family as the biggest enemies on the way forward. In recent days, in the war against the enemy, they have achieved phased victories. The Cui family's big tree has fallen, and they The remaining forces are nothing to fear, and the King of Shu can only rely on the title of prince.
However, this status really has a lot of weight, because the news that he is not a prince cannot be announced, and he is still the eldest prince in the eyes of the people and officials. To win a complete victory, other methods need to be adopted.
But who would have thought that the King of Shu hadn't returned to Beijing, and they hadn't taken any action yet. Even the ancestral house of the Cui family had been uprooted, and the officials of the Shu State who were loyal to the King of Shu had also been killed...
The old emperor overturned the table much more thoroughly than himself!
Li Yi came back to his senses, looked at her, and asked, "Where is the King of Shu?"
"Run away." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "Uncle Huang didn't expect that King Shu had an expert by his side, so he ran away."
Li Yi still couldn't figure it out. When King Ning left, the news that the King of Shu was not the old emperor's own hadn't spread yet. He had no reason to take the Cui family and the King of Shu into surgery. As a prince, to do such a thing, That is rebellion!
He raised his head and asked again: "Could it be that the news that the King of Shu is not His Majesty's own has been announced?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head again, and suddenly asked: "Before me, my mother had two princes, don't you know?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Those two princes didn't die early..."
When he said this, he finally seemed to understand something, and asked, "Cui Guifei?"
"Twenty years ago, the Cui family was so powerful that they not only dominated the court, but even had dark sons in the palace. At that time, Concubine Cui gave birth to the prince first, and the queen mother died of two princes one after another. After giving birth to me, they can no longer have children. Now, the King of Shu is naturally the most likely prince to inherit the throne."
Why did the Cui family and Concubine Cui do this? Li Yi can easily imagine that the empress does not have a direct son, so the first heir to the throne is naturally the son of Concubine Cui, who is second only to the empress in the harem.
Consort Cui Guifei is definitely not the only one who can do such a thing by killing two princes in order to compete for that position.
"Over the years, my father has vigorously supported the poor family and gradually reversed the situation in the court. While purging the harem, he was also investigating the case of the year. It was not until a few days ago that Liu Yishou found sufficient evidence..."
After Li Mingzhu finished speaking, all the guesses and doubts in Li Yi's heart, and all the unclear lines finally became clear gradually.
No wonder, no wonder the old emperor never waited to see the King of Shu and the Cui family, no wonder Liu Yishou was always mysterious and had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it...
No wonder the king of Shu, as the eldest son of the emperor, has never been registered as the East Palace.
No wonder both he and Mingzhu felt that the old emperor and King Ning had something to hide from them.
It's no wonder that before knowing that the King of Shu was not the old emperor's own thing, they felt that he was not his own.
Even without the matter of King Shu, the Cui family would not have the last laugh, because there is always such a knife waiting for them on the road ahead.
The difference is whether the knife is early or late, and whether it will hurt the knife itself when it is cut.
Li Yi also finally understood why these old emperors have always been so supportive of his work of attacking the Cui family and the King of Shu... because in the past few years, with the efforts of him and Mingzhu, the power of the Cui family has gradually weakened. Until a few days ago, I almost became a polished commander. When I cut it, I cut it with a knife, like cutting tofu, with ease and effort...
He thought for a while, and then asked: "What about the king of Shu?"
"For them, Concubine Cui can only give birth to a prince. Just in case, the Cui family bought the midwife and maids in advance and sent a newborn baby boy in." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "Concubine Cui is A prince was born, but the prince died shortly after he was born, the king of Shu... is the baby boy who was secretly sent to the palace by the Cui family."
She picked up the teacup and said, "The King of Shu escaped, and everyone in the Cui family lineage was escorted to Beijing. Knowing that there was no hope, Cui Qingze recruited them all..."
The imperial palace is strictly guarded, and it is extremely difficult to send a baby boy in without a sound, and exchange with the prince born to the concubine. The Cui family can even do this, and there is the current ending. Absolutely not wronged.
He raised his head and asked, "These things can't be easily done by just one Cui family, right? After today, how many people will be dealt with in the capital?"
Li Mingzhu put down the teacup: "What should be dealt with has already been dealt with."
Li Yi was puzzled and immediately understood that by now, the forces related to the Cui family had almost been wiped out, and there was probably nothing that slipped through the net.
He had thought about many possibilities before, but he never expected that the truth would be so twists and turns. The Cui family was completely down this time, and the forces belonging to them in the court were also completely wiped out. Wang Huijing - the same can not wait.
He looked at Li Mingzhu, and he saw confusion in the other's eyes.
Without the Cui family and the king of Shu, without their opponents, what should they do now
Life suddenly loses its direction, just like a salted fish loses its dream.
In the courtyard, Second Miss Liu was wiping the autumn water, and glanced at the closed door from time to time.
