Chapter 263

Princess Taiping read the secret letter sent by Li You for a while and the messenger who sent the letter lowered his head and did not dare to speak. After a while, Princess Taiping's voice came quietly, "What are your master busy with recently?"

"The Lord has been running between Yunzhou and Jiazhou recently to train in the group training. There is also a young man who heard that the Lord was preparing for the wedding before leaving. I thought I had already had a big wedding." The messenger replied with his head down.

"Big wedding?" Princess Taiping, holding a secret letter, paused obviously, "Yes, your lord and sister Nan had already agreed to have a big wedding this year. They didn't have time to hold the wedding a few days ago. Now is a good time. If it's too late, it will be difficult to handle. Xue Shao!"

"I'm here." Xue Shao stood up immediately after hearing this, "What order does the princess have?"

"Jiazhou Bo was a little hasty when he left Beijing. The gift he gave last time was a little inappropriate. Go down and take the ancient paintings I hid for this messenger away. Sister Nan likes these on weekdays, so why not give them to her and enjoy them slowly." As for me, I probably won't use these things in the future? Li You's rejection letter has broken her last hope, and she has to consider what happened after King Hui ascended the throne.

"This" Xue Shao hesitated a little. These paintings were also the favorite things of Princess Taiping. In the past, Zhou Nan was reluctant to let go of Princess Taiping, but now he is willing to give them to someone. Xue Shao felt a little ominous in his heart.

"Go and do it." As Princess Taiping finally ignited superstition and watched the letter slowly turn into ashes, Xue Shao felt that Princess Taiping's courage was burned down with the letter, and she seemed particularly fragile at this time.

Xue Shao bowed silently and left with the envoy. Princess Taiping opened the window and looked into the direction of the palace. If there were indeed immortal pills in the world, why were there few immortals who had been seeking immortals and medicines in all dynasties? Even if there were, what kind of virtue did Li Gui have to be favored by immortals? He was afraid of doctors but believed in alchemy. He probably didn't have many days left.

At this time, Li Gui in the palace seemed particularly excited. He had been lying on the hospital bed for many days and finally could stand up and take a walk in the bedroom today. He even wanted to go out of the hall to take a look. Of course, the queen and Wei Shiliang did not dare to let him go out, so he quickly persuaded him to stop on the grounds that the wind was strong outside.

Although Li Gui no longer insisted on walking out of the hall gate, he became more and more tired of these two people. "I understand. The queen has worked hard these days. Now that I have taken the elixir, I think I will recover soon. You can go back to the palace to rest first!"

"Your Majesty!" The queen burst into tears when she heard this. She was serving her all day long without untied clothes. Now she had signs of improvement and wanted to drive herself away, which made her feel aggrieved.

Seeing this, Li Gui became a little more angry and his tone became more and more cold, "Wei Shiliang, the queen is tired, please bring two palace maids to send her back to the palace."

"Yes, I obey the order." Wei Shiliang, who had a lot of white hair on his head, felt that the queen was not worth it, but he did not dare to disobey Li Gui's doubts. He could only ask two palace maids to help the queen out, persuaded him to send the queen back to her bedroom, and ordered the palace maids to make some porridge for her to fill her stomach, and then hurried back.

When I returned to Li Gui's bedroom, I saw Hu Songnian, who was on duty in the palace today, standing outside the hall with a look of embarrassment, and a faint moan came from the bedroom.

"Mr. Hu, what's going on?" Wei Shiliang was heartbroken and quickly walked to Hu Songnian and asked, "Why did you run outside?"

"Your Majesty invites concubines to serve the bed. As a foreign minister, how can I stay in the bed?" Hu Songnian also looked angry. After all, he was a prime minister. When did he suffer such an insult?

"That bastard goes to summon the concubine, our family must beat him to death." Wei Shiliang said gritting his teeth, his face turned red with anger. Li Gui was seriously ill for many days, and then he improved a little, but he immediately summoned the concubines to serve him. This is really a waste of time!

"It was not their responsibility. No one dared to obey after His Majesty issued the order. He immediately killed the eunuch who was serving in the bedroom." Hu Songnian reached out and touched his forehead. Only then did Wei Shiliang see a bright red mark there, which seemed to be broken. "I just started to persuade him and got a vase; so he could only let him go."

Hu Songnian now wished that Li Gui would die sooner. Even with Taizu Taizong's lofty prestige, he would be treated generously when he saw the prime minister and important officials. Why should Li Gui dare to treat him like this? If the news spreads, Li Gui would probably be labeled as a tyrant by the scholar immediately?

"Mr. Hu is really this." Even though he had a lot of disgust with these civil servants in the past, Wei Shiliang couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when he saw him like this today.

"General Wei has worked hard these days." The two people who used to regard the other party as enemies also started to feel sick at this time. They stood at the entrance of the hall with a wry smile, but they didn't know where they had floated.

Li Gui's condition seems to be very good today. The concubine who had been tossing her voice was a little hoarse before she announced that she would stop. Afterwards, she still asked Wei Shiliang to go to the imperial kitchen to get some food. This surprised Wei Shiliang. Could it be that the elixir presented by Cui Kezhuo is really so effective?

The next day, Li Gui put the elixir and water supply on Cui Kezhuo under the gaze of the empress, Wei Shiliang and Bi Cheng, the Minister of Revenue who was on duty today. This was the third elixir he had taken these days.

"The golden elixir of the immortal family is indeed extraordinary." Li Gui felt a heat all over his body. The cold air that had been tormenting him a few days ago seemed to have disappeared, and his whole body had regained his strength. "I sent an order to send Cui Kezhuo, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, gave him a meritorious contribution, rewarded a thousand taels of gold, and promoted the position to one level. Let's ask Yang Jiefu, see what positions have been vacant in the court recently? I want to choose a good position for Cui Aiqing."

"I obey the order." Bi Cheng wrote down these words one by one without expression.

"Since that's the case, Bi Aiqing should go down too, Wei Shiliang, send the Empress back to the bedroom." After saying that, Li Gui drove them away without saying a word. Soon a little eunuch hurried to the harem.

Not long after, a slim concubine entered Li Gui's bedroom under the custody of the palace maid. Wei Shiliang and Bi Cheng, who were guarding the door, heard the faint moans again.

Even if there is a elixir, he can't stand such trouble. Wei Shiliang stared blankly at the distance, secretly wondering what would happen to meet his destiny.
