Lying in Wu Mei's arms, enjoying the life since... four years old? Ten years old? Since when had it started, Li Hong had always been treated like being grabbed and beaten, and he had lost the warmth too early. Li Hong opened his eyes weakly and felt the gentle silk handkerchief in Wu Mei's hand wiping the corners of his mouth. He was in pain again. He smiled bitterly and coughed a few times. Wu Mei was so frightened that she hugged him again, and even pushed Li Zhi's hand away to prevent him from touching Li Hong.
There were too many arrows fired, and he forgot to estimate the speed at which the two sky lanterns would fall. When he saw that the first sky lantern was about to be extinguished, it was already too late for Li Hong to turn around and run away. He was forced to do so. He had no choice but to forcefully pull up the reins, let the horse's front hooves fly, and turn down behind him, hoping to help him block the powerful explosion.
But he blocked the first one and did not run away from the second one. He just rolled off the horse and the second one also exploded when he was about to approach the ground. He was thrown far away at once, and his chest and face felt like they were ironed. The hammer wheel was rounded and hit hard.
Fortunately, her arms were still protecting his handsome cheeks during the process. Otherwise, Wu Mei might have doubted whether this was still the handsome and heroic son after holding him in her arms.
The rumble of thunder mixed with the sound of lightning sounded again above the head. Li Hong moved his mouth with difficulty, and squeezed out a smile to comfort Wu Mei and Li Zhi on his face, and said feebly: "Get into the room quickly, or you won't be bombed. If you die, you will be hacked to death, cough cough.”
At this time, no one dared to doubt Li Hong's words. Wu Mei glared at the people around her, and two people immediately came over to take Li Hong from her arms, and gently placed her on the stretcher. Under the escort of her and Li Zhi, Get off and quickly walk to the room.
The drizzle had long since turned into a downpour. A group of people were walking in the rain. At this time, Wu Mei and Li Zhi discovered that Li Lingyue and Bai Chun were crying like raindrops not far away. Hua Ji and Wang Lou hurried over, hugging Li Lingyue and taking them with them. Bai Chun walked towards the nearest palace.
Li Hong was lying on a stable stretcher, listening to Li Lingyue's heart-rending cries. He turned his head and looked over with difficulty, raised his hand with difficulty, and waved to Li Lingyue who was held in Wang Lou's arms.
As soon as everyone stepped in from the back door of the palace, they were surprised to see a bolt of lightning crackle behind them and appear out of thin air in the large open space where the people were just now. The war horse that had not been killed by the explosion suddenly felt burnt all over. The smell was completely beaten to death.
Li Hong's injuries were not very serious. Because he saw the opportunity early and reacted quickly, he also did a good job of protecting himself. Therefore, except for his chest and thighs, he was pierced into the flesh by some small fragments from the Kongming Lantern. , but there were no other major injuries.
What caused him to fall into coma was the air wave that fell from the sky, knocking him out of breath all of a sudden. Coupled with the injury to his chest, it took him a long time to wake up after being doused in the rain.
In the past few days, Li Hong's treatment has also increased. He was still recovering from his injuries in the East Palace on a rainy night. After the injury healed and the imperial doctor diagnosed that there was nothing serious, Wu Mei's face began to return to its original color, but she was silently looking aside. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty, who remained silent, lost his good looks.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very depressed. No, it was the other way around.
The good look on her face was all for me, but the look on her face that owed her eight million silver should be towards the person lying on the bed.
So in order to please the queen and make up for the mistake he made by ordering the lighting of the Kongming Lantern at will, someone had to curl his lips and send the prince to his palace on the grounds that the East Palace was too crude and unsuitable for the prince to recover from his injuries. The sleeping hall on one side of Qianyuan Hall is used to recuperate.
But even so, Wu Mei still didn't give him a good look. Even the maids and eunuchs next to him had been very cautious in the past few days, especially when it came to serving His Highness the Crown Prince. They became particularly cautious and deeply worried. I was afraid that the Queen would find something wrong.
Otherwise, these eunuchs and maids would probably be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment by the Queen's order, just like Shangguan Yi, the bachelor of Chongwen Hall, the prince's tutor, and Ren Yaxiang, the minister of the Ministry of War.
The only thing that impressed people was that in Wu Mei's eyes, Li Lingyue, who was of the same line as Li Hong and inherited Li Hong's traditional mantle, had been surprisingly well-behaved in the past few days, neither noisy nor making trouble, and no longer looked at her. Among chickens in a chicken coop, which one lays eggs first or hatches chicks first
He stayed at the Qianyuan Hall every day, from the moment he opened his eyes in the morning to the time he left before going to bed at night. He stayed with Bai Chun day by day.
Except for Bai Chun, there was no maid beside Li Hong who was easy to handle. Li Lingyue waved her hand and said that she would keep her maid to serve the imperial brother, but in the end she was rejected by His Highness the Crown Prince.
In recent days, a certain person has been living a life of high-level treatment that he has never had before. It should be that he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment since he was two or four years old.
Even yesterday when Wu Mei came to see him, Li Hong asked quietly when no one was around: "Mother, did you... that day... cry..."
"It's raining, you're overthinking it." Wu Mei said coldly, but carefully inspected the bandaged wound on her son's chest.
Every time when this topic came up, Wu Mei ignored him, but when he did, her son would laugh at her silently, making Wu Mei almost think that the doctor was lying to her. This prince Was His Highness stunned by the explosion
So when she really couldn't stand the goosebump-inducing, creepy, sinister laughter, Wu Mei itched her hands and wanted to pull someone's ears, but looking at the wounds all over that person's body, there was nowhere to start. Wu Mei had no choice but to slap her silly son on the forehead in warning with dissatisfaction.
Li Hong enjoyed this way of getting along very much. At the very least, it showed that there was no barrier between him and his mother. This also made Li Hong lie on the bed and shout: "This injury is really worth it... oh oh... it hurts, Mother."
Li Zhi was not as diligent as Wu Mei when he came here. Whenever he saw Wu Mei, Li Zhi's first subconscious action was to touch his nose unnaturally, and then hurriedly said a few perfunctory words. He left on the pretext that he had to deal with political matters.
And now Li Hong doesn't know that Shangguan Yi and Ren Yaxiang have been implicated because of his injury. But having said that, Li Zhi also knows in his heart that those two people are just the Queen's anger. She found two people to vent her anger on her son's behalf.
Although this matter was his fault, could the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who kept his words and made perfect statements, be at fault? Of course it's not possible, so those two poor guys should be locked up for a few days first.
It is a common problem among human beings to dig their noses and rub their faces, and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty is no exception. But if the emperor's nose rubs his face, no one except the infant princes and princesses would dare to do it anymore, right
But some people just don't believe in evil. They just kicked out the imperial doctor who changed his dressing, tricked Li Lingyue out, and left Bai Chun, who was changing his dressing, in front of the bed. When her face was red, her ears were red, she was panting and moaning, and her body was weak, he Father Long was so charming that he came to see him twice a day, a rare occasion.
So someone started to be gloomy and said: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Father, please help me get it."
"Are you sure this is it?" Li Zhi walked in with a smile. As soon as he sat down in front of the bed, he began to be manipulated by his son before he even asked for help.
"Thank you, father. By the way, bring me some water. I'm thirsty."
"No, this tea is too strong. The imperial doctor said that I won't let my son drink tea."
"Father, go and get the chessboard. I will endure the pain and play two games with you."
"Father..."
"Little bastard, you're done, aren't you? You really can't walk? Can you really not move? Then tell me, what's going on with Bai Chun? Ah! You little bastard, this isn't easy yet. You started to amuse your father, what? Do you think your father ruined your treatment with Bai Chun?" Li Zhi said angrily, pointing his index finger at someone's forehead.
As soon as he came in, he saw Bai Chun blushing, and his fair cheeks were so red that they were almost dripping with shame. How could he not know what his son was doing just now!
Now, it was good. When he saw that he had ruined his erotic affair, he immediately summoned himself, the emperor, to boss him around. Feeling guilty in his heart, he admitted it. Unexpectedly, the unfilial son would get in trouble with him!
Someone's head was knocked dizzy, and he apologized repeatedly: "It's wrong, wrong, wrong, father, I really know that I was wrong. Is there something wrong with you? If nothing happens, you can go back."
"Who are you asking to go back? This is my Qianyuan Palace, not your East Palace! Have you recovered from your injury? If you have recovered, go back to your East Palace as soon as possible. Don't bother me in my palace." Li Zhiyue He got even angrier and couldn't help but slap Li Hong on the back of the head.
Someone whose head was about to be pulled into a ball by his dragon father began to remain silent. You are the emperor and you are right. Is it okay if I am wrong? Is it okay if I don’t speak
Wang Lou brought a chair and put it down in front of Li Hong's bed. Li Zhi slowly sat down, looked at Li Hong quietly, and suddenly said: "Now that Di Renjie has found out about Li Yangcang, the deficit does exist. Xiao Shouye, Xiao Rui, Lu Lisu, Lu Shuang, including your uncle Ji Wang, are all involved in this case to varying degrees, what do you think? "
Li Hong didn't expect that his father would ask for his opinion. Now that the dragon's body is getting better, it should be a good time to display his talents and act arbitrarily. Why should he ask himself at this time? What's more, he had already retracted his head and made up his mind to never get involved in this matter.
"Father, this... this should be your business. You shouldn't get involved at will. If you..."
"Does it really have nothing to do with you? Princess Ji and Pei Xingjian's wife are sisters, and this Pei Xingjian is your East Palace official who was placed in Tubo. Well, even if you don't mention these, there is Pei Xingjian's daughter, so I'm afraid it's Sooner or later you will have someone from your East Palace, right? Aren't you afraid that this case will involve your Uncle Prince Ji and Princess Ji looking for Pei Xingjian's wife?"
"Father, you are wrong. Uncle Ji Wang is not stupid. How appropriate for him to come to you directly? How about taking a circuitous route from the outside and then looking for Erchen? Besides, Erchen is not the person responsible for this case. , this is your personal responsibility, but didn’t you say that in order to conquer Liaodong personally, you will kill anyone who stands in your way? Now make up your mind, in a few days, it’s time for you to conquer Liaodong yourself. ?”
The father and son, one leaning on the bedside and the other sitting in front of the bed, were hesitating back and forth, neither of them willing to decide the case.
