Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Li Mu worriedly and said, "Don't you often say that uncle Siwen and you are like brothers, why are you so angry today?"
"Angry?" Li Mu sighed: "I can't wait to beat him! This blind bastard has caused a big trouble for him after all!" After saying that, Li Mu slapped his thigh in annoyance and said: "Blame me! It's all my fault! Yes!"
I was careless, thinking nothing would happen, and indulged him! Alas! It's all my fault!"
"What happened?" Li Zhien also interjected and asked. She probably noticed something and asked in a low voice: "But does it have anything to do with Nazha? I just saw Uncle Siwen and Nazha going out together."
"That's Nazha!" Li Mu said bitterly: "She is an assassin!"
"Ah?" Bai Qiaoqiao said in surprise: "How could this be? Nazha... doesn't look like an assassin."
Li Zhien was indeed concerned about another aspect and asked: "Husband, who is the target of her assassination?"
Li Mu replied: "Fortunately, it is not your Majesty, nor the Supreme Emperor. Her target is Jieli of the Turks. Seeing that she does not leave any room for attack, it seems that she has a blood feud with Jieli."
Jieli has been stationed in Dingxiang for many years, and Turkic cavalry often came to Mayi to plunder. Therefore, Bai Qiaoqiao had a very bad impression of Jieli. When Li Mu said that Nazha's enemy was Jieli, he said: "Husband, sir
, Isn’t Jieli our enemy of the Tang Dynasty? Since Nazha’s enemy is him, it means that Nazha is on our side. Why are you so angry?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, things are not that simple. Although the Turks have been fighting against the Tang Dynasty for many years, they have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. Although Jieli is the king of subjugation, His Majesty has a big heart and has pardoned him.
For his crime, he was made the Right Guard General. He is now the general of our Tang Dynasty! He was assassinated in heaven and on earth, and the assassin was brought by the son of the Duke of Tang Dynasty. If this spread, wouldn't it be confirmed?
The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty conspired to murder people?"
"Once such a rumor appears, His Majesty's statement will be damaged, and Siwen will be in big trouble. If he doesn't explain clearly what his relationship with Nazha is, His Majesty will put the blame on Youyou, and I'm afraid Siwen and him...
"
When Bai Qiaoqiao heard that the matter was so serious, she quickly asked: "Will my husband be implicated?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "It's true that I can't be implicated, but I am Siwen's adopted brother, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it?"
"Alas..." Bai Qiaoqiao sighed: "Why did your Majesty want to pardon Jie Li's crime? He has done so many bad things and he should be executed."
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and explained: "Madam, things in this world are not so black and white. Jieli did a lot of bad things, but he is a Turk, a Uighur, and a Tiele
If he is executed, there is no guarantee what these barbarians will do. If they feel that even if they surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they will not escape death, they may unite together. In this way, the border troubles will never be quelled. Your Majesty is not a foolish king, he is
Leaving Jieli behind was, firstly, to appease these nomadic peoples, and secondly, it was to show the magnanimity of the Tang Dynasty to these nomadic peoples. It was to tell them that as long as they submitted to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would forget about the past and treat them well. These things are very complicated, you don’t
Need to understand.”
"Yes." Bai Qiaoqiao nodded. She is not a very curious person, nor is she a talented woman like Wang Ou or Wei Yingluo who is unwilling to be outdone. She enjoys hiding under the protection of Li Mu and being a little woman.
Since Li Mu said he didn't need to understand, she didn't want to know.
Li Mu looked at the untouched dishes on the table, reached out and folded off a chicken leg, held it in his mouth, and said to Li Zhien: "If you can't eat it later, ask the waiter to bring a few lunch boxes and pack them for me to take home. We have to
I'll live a good life, I'm tired enough to go back tonight, you can go to sleep when you get home later."
Li Zhien responded, and Li Mu turned and left. The two women looked at each other, but neither of them had any appetite.
Li Mu came out of his private room, hesitated for a moment, and went to the private room where Li Shimin was sitting to order Mao. As for what happened downstairs, he just said that there was a misunderstanding, and Jie Li and his party left first, and there was no
Tell things.
Of course this is deceiving the emperor, but Li Mu has no choice. If he tells the truth, Li Siwen will be implicated. Now, in order to keep Li Siwen, he has to hide it first, and then investigate the matter clearly to see if he can
Pick him out.
Before that, he didn't plan to tell anyone about it, including Li Ji.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not doubt that he was there, and even asked Li Mu to stay and have dinner with him. Li Mu was not in the mood to eat, and on the pretext that he had other things to arrange, he reached out and snatched away the chicken legs that Li Tai had just folded off, and he disappeared.
Poor Li Tai opened his mouth, but when he took a bite, all he bit was empty. His round face was wrinkled up in grievance, which made people laugh. Li Chengqian laughed loudly, but was glared at by Li Shimin, and he quickly held it back. The puff puff sounded like a flat tire.
As if angry.
In front of Wang Ou, the prince was so helpless, which made Li Shimin feel ashamed. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Ou and Empress Changsun chatting happily, he couldn't get in the conversation, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I couldn't help but look at the enthusiasm between the two of them, as if they were old friends whom they hadn't seen for many years. There was no trace of the embarrassment from half an hour ago.
Li Shimin was in no mood and felt depressed, so he drank by himself and drank a few more glasses without realizing it. Although the degree of Zhuangyuan Red was not high and soft in the mouth, it was just like the red wine of later generations, with full stamina. Soon, Li Shimin was drunk.
It just so happened that the time for palace confinement was approaching. Eunuch Gao arranged for Li Shimin and Queen Changsun to drive back to the palace. Li Chengqian and Li Tai also left together, one returned to the East Palace and the other returned to the palace.
Li Mu stood at the door, seeing off the boss and his family, and let out a sigh of relief. Something like this happened today, and Li Shimin was really under a lot of pressure here. Watching the carriage go away, Li Mu instantly felt that the pressure was reduced.
a lot of.
Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind passed by, and a pair of jade hands were placed on his shoulders. Li Mu tensed up and slowly turned his head, just in time to face Wang Ou.
"Aunt...what happened today, I, I, I..."
Looking into Wang Ou's eyes, Li Mu suddenly stuttered. He didn't know how to explain it, so he had to laugh in the end.
Wang Ou also had two drinks with Queen Changsun, and two red clouds appeared on his cheeks. He no longer looked dignified and virtuous as before, but looked like a girl who had returned to her cardamom years, a little more clever and cute.
Wang Ou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He suddenly grabbed Li Mu by the collar and dragged him to a hidden corner. Li Mu did not dare to struggle or shout. If anyone saw this, he would jump
It can't be washed even if it enters the Yellow River.
Wang Ou pushed Li Mu against the wall, approached him, and stared into his eyes. Li Mu's back was pressed tightly against the wall, and he could smell the alcohol on her lips, and his heart was beating loudly. Why are you doing this?
Are you going crazy after drinking too much? Are you finally going to take action on me, a young grass?
Wang Ou opened his mouth with drunken eyes and asked softly: "My aunt asked you, did you really say that you and I are in love?"
Li Mu said nervously: "Aunt, please listen to my explanation..."
"Auntie doesn't want you to explain." Wang Ou interrupted Li Mu and said to himself: "Auntie is unhappy today, do you know why?"
"ah?"
"I've told you, there is nothing between Your Majesty and I, why don't you believe it?" Wang Ou looked at Li Mu resentfully, like a resentful woman who has been misunderstood by her lover, with tears in her eyes, and said: "
You also wrote a poem like that, but do you know that I felt so choked up after listening to it?"
As he said that, Wang Ou grabbed Li Mu's hand and pressed it to his chest. Li Mu wanted to pull his hand back, but it was already too late. He only felt that his palm was covered with something soft, even though he was separated by his clothes.
You can also feel its curvature accurately.
Let me go...
In an instant, countless pictures appeared in Li Mu's mind. As a software engineer proficient in three-dimensional modeling, he had already drawn the shape of this object in his mind.
When Wang Ou saw his appearance, he raised the corners of his mouth, let go of his hand, stretched out his slender jade fingers, and touched his forehead.
"You really have evil intentions towards your aunt, you are really a bad boy."
"Aunt, please listen to my explanation. Me, I, I am passive. You hold my hand...you..." Li Mu gestured, but couldn't go on. It's not him who takes advantage of you and makes excuses.
style.
"Auntie also likes you." Wang Ou suddenly stopped smiling and said very seriously: "But, I am fifteen years older than you. We...can't be together after all. If you have me in your heart, I will be content."
Already."
"Aunt..." Li Mu was a little panicked. He was not being pretentious, but he didn't understand what Wang Ou admired about him. In terms of their interactions, they didn't seem to be too close, so why did she let her
Are you enamored?
How did he know how damaging the Tang poetry he plagiarized would be to the people of the Tang Dynasty? When Li Bai was in Chang'an, Gao Lishi took off his boots and Yang Yuhuan polished his ink! People who recommended themselves as pillows could line up from Zhuque Street to the Chengdu
Tianmen. If future generations use it as an analogy, a man who can write poetry is the "idou" of the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai is the most popular fried chicken, the king of the entertainment industry. Li Mu plagiarized his poems, and he became the king.
Wang Ou was a talented woman before she came out of the cabinet, and a talented woman cannot escape such a talented rogue. Not to mention, these days of contact with Li Mu and his different behavior styles have left a special mark on Wang Ou's heart.
Wang Ou was very shy in her heart. She had traveled all over the country over the years and had already developed her drinking capacity. A few glasses of wine were nothing to her, and she was not drunk at all. She just continued to express what was in her heart while drunk, otherwise she would not be drunk under normal circumstances.
In this state, she didn't have the courage to speak out.
Now that she had expressed her feelings, the big stone in her heart was relieved. She looked at Li Mu's panicked look, and suddenly a shameful picture appeared in her mind. When she got married, her family also invited her mother-in-law to teach her some things.
It's just that Cui's eldest son is not blessed, and she has never tried it.
Wang Ou looked at Li Mu, pursed his lips, and moved closer unconsciously. Li Mu had a premonition of what was going to happen, and was so nervous that his breathing stopped.
Suddenly, Wang Ou mustered up his courage, closed his eyes and stood on tiptoe!
