At this time, little Eunuch Chen came upstairs. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, he suddenly closed his mouth again. There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, and he also saw blood on Li Mu's hands.
Li Yuan glanced at young Eunuch Chen and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the Supreme Emperor, the banquet is about to break up. I have come to ask the Marquis to help."
Li Muzheng didn't know how to respond to Li Yuan, so he took over the words and said: "Your Majesty, I will go downstairs to take a look first and come back later." After saying that, he tried to pull Nazha's arm, but Nazha dodged angrily.
Li Mu was about to force Li Mu's hand when Li Yuan said: "Let her stay, I still have a lot to say to her."
"But……"
"Li Mu, I told her to stay, are you going to disobey me?"
Since leaving the palace, Li Yuan had called himself 'I' instead of 'I'. Suddenly he called himself 'I' again, and Li Mu understood what he meant.
Li Mu retracted his hand, lowered his head and said, "I understand, I will leave first."
Li Mu sighed and came to the slide and was about to go downstairs. Little Eunuch Chen's eyes darkened and he didn't know how to deal with it. He quickly followed and called Li Mu softly: "Master Marquis, wait a minute, can you tell me about this?
What exactly is going on?"
"That woman is the daughter of Prince Yin!"
"Ah?!" Little Eunuch Chen was so shocked that he screamed in a high voice. Fearing that Li Yuan would hear him, he quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true, she's still an assassin!"
"ah?"
"The one who stabbed was not the Supreme Emperor, but Jie Li." Li Mu sighed and said, "The Supreme Emperor wanted to spare her life, but His Majesty couldn't hide it, so it was really difficult for me to kill him. Little Eunuch Chen, I know you are pregnant.
Martial Arts, you must protect the Supreme Emperor and wait for me to come back."
"Our family's martial arts is just ordinary. She, she is an assassin, how can I be my opponent?" Little Eunuch Chen panicked: "How about I call some guards?"
"Her martial arts skills are not very good, otherwise the assassination would not have failed. Your skills are enough to deal with it, and the situation is not easy to expand now. Moreover, the Supreme Emperor has something to say to that woman. It is inconvenient to have others present. Just hold on still.
Take care, I’ll be back in a while.”
",..." Little Eunuch Chen was a little flustered. Although he had seen a lot of eunuchs in the world, he was still frightened when he heard the words 'Prince Yin's daughter'. When the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened, he had just entered the palace two days ago.
In 1999, I saw with my own eyes that all the eunuchs who entered the palace with him were killed after the Xuanwu Gate Incident just because they served the Eastern Palace.
People outside the palace don't know the exact number, but Young Eunuch Chen vaguely knows that there are probably no less than 500 people in the palace who were purged before and after the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
This is a forbidden matter!
Little Eunuch Chen's legs were trembling. Li Mu could understand his mood and patted him on the shoulder. Without saying anything else, he slid down the slide.
He first went to the warehouse to meet Li Chongyi and Li Siwen, called them up, and went to the private room on the second floor together. He asked Li Chongyi to escort Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien back to the house. As for Li Siwen, he naturally rested in Zhuluhou Mansion first, and now let him
When he goes back, with his confused appearance, he will definitely be unable to hide anything.
After seeing off his family, Li Mu gathered his concentration and began to answer the guests. The people on the first floor were better, and they just held hands and chatted for a few words. And some of them had already left early, like Wei Yingluo, Kong Yingda and others.
Li Mu had to deal with the guests on the second floor seriously. None of them were good. Many of them were debtors to him, such as Changsun Wuji.
"Uncle, I didn't entertain you well today, I hope you will be more considerate."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, today's ceremony is so grand, you are indispensable everywhere. You are not an outsider, so why should I treat you? Since you have joined the royal family, you are also a relative of me. If you are here these days,
When you have time, come to my house and I will introduce my useless son to you. You are similar in age, so I believe you will have a lot to talk about."
Li Mu heard the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words. In the past few days, he had been fighting with Wei Zheng. At the last moment, Changsun Wuji stood up to support him. According to Li Ji, Changsun Wuji was the talker of the Longyou Group. He said this
It means, presumably, that you need to be paid.
Li Mu had already prepared this reward in his heart. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Even if Uncle Guo doesn't invite me, I still have the shamelessness to bother you."
"Oh?" Changsun Wuji sounded suspicious and said, "Really? I thought you were avoiding me?"
"How could it be... I have already prepared a small gift, which will definitely satisfy my uncle when I come to visit you."
"Haha..." Changsun Wuji said nothing more. He patted Li Mu on the shoulder and passed by. At this time, Shen Guogong Gao Shilian came down the stairs with drunken eyes. When he saw Li Mu, he immediately shouted his name. Li Mu hurriedly greeted him.
In the past, I didn't stop until he was put on the carriage.
Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and others had already left early. When they saw Li Jing, Li Mu exchanged a few words with him. However, Li Jing seemed not to want to interact with others too much. His attitude towards Li Mu could not be said to be cold, but he was not very warm either.
Li Mu could feel the alienation hidden in his words.
After about half an hour, the guests were finally sent away. The heaven and earth suddenly became deserted. The waiters closed the shutters and began to clean up the leftovers on the table. Li Mu ordered the guards to patrol and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
building.
The scene on the fifth floor was the same as when he left, except that Nazha and Li Yuan's eyes were a little red, and it looked like they had cried a lot. Li Mu could probably guess what Li Yuan would say to Nazha, and it was nothing more than about Li Jiancheng
When Nazha left Chang'an, she should have remembered it. And judging from the fact that she always carried the jade plaque engraved by Li Jiancheng, she may not have no feelings for this father, but mostly a mixture of love and hate. But after all, family ties are constantly being sacrificed.
, when Li Yuan mentioned it, it was normal to cry.
Li Yuan is more normal. He has always felt guilty about Li Jiancheng, and judging from his attitude when talking about the past events of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he is very satisfied with Li Jiancheng, whether it is his contribution before and after the founding of the country or the personal feelings between father and son.
It cannot be said that he is not below Li Shimin, but above him.
Li Mu could also understand. After all, Li Jiancheng was ten years older than Li Shimin. When Li Yuan had the ambition to be independent, Li Shimin was probably only twelve or thirteen years old, still a child. The only person he could plan with was Li Jiancheng. Then the Tang Dynasty
After establishing the country and rebelling against the king everywhere, Li Yuan would rather let Li Shimin fight everywhere than let the prince leave Chang'an. This shows that in his heart, Li Jiancheng's weight is greater than that of Li Shimin.
And today, Li Yuan so firmly stated that he wanted to save Nazha's life, which shows how sorry he is for Li Jiancheng.
It's just that this matter is too difficult to handle.
When Li Yuan saw Li Mu coming, he said to young Eunuch Chen: "Take this child to rest first, and then find a room on the fifth floor. Don't be too far away from me. I have something to say with Marquis Zhulu, so I don't need you to wait on me."
Little Eunuch Chen wanted to stay away from such a confidential matter, so he quickly responded and took Nazha away. Li Yuan signaled to Li Mu, who sat on the golden pier where he had just sat.
"This child's life is too hard, I have to protect her."
Li Mu was speechless.
"She is the only descendant of Jiancheng, so I have to protect her."
Li Mu finally spoke and sighed: "The Supreme Emperor does not need to explain to me. I can understand your mood, but the Supreme Emperor needs to know that today's matter cannot be hidden. The guards downstairs are all from the palace. Needless to say, the Supreme Emperor also
You should know that there must be His Majesty's spies. I'm afraid the news has reached the palace now. If His Majesty hadn't been drunk, it's not sure whether Nazha would still be here. Tomorrow, there will be a reaction in the palace."
After a pause, Li Mu continued: "This matter is extraordinary. Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
Li Mu didn't say it too clearly, but how could Li Yuan not understand? He sighed and smiled bitterly: "This is the family relationship in Tianjia, it's so weak... Li Mu, do you believe it? In fact, there are many things that Shimin doesn't want to do.
Do it, but he is riding a tiger and cannot get off. He has to do it, otherwise he will not be able to explain to those under him. They say that emperors are rich in the world, but is this really true? Emperors cannot be free either!"
Li Mu nodded, feeling the same. Not to mention anything else, Li Shimin hated Wei Zheng to death, but what happened to him? As an emperor, how could he do whatever he wanted? Wei Zheng was disgusting, but
As long as he is still valuable, he must be allowed to have freedom in the court.
"I still remember that day Shimin appeared in front of me wearing armor and covered in blood. He knelt on the ground, crying and told me that Jiancheng and Yuanji wanted to kill him, and he had no choice but to kill them. He put his hand
He handed me the sword inside and asked me to kill him... Do you know that at that time, there were three thousand Imperial Guards around me, while Shimin had less than five hundred around him. If I killed him, he would not be able to resist."
"I believe it," Li Mu hesitated and said, "But now that times have changed, if the Supreme Emperor uses this to ask for this favor, I'm afraid it still won't work."
"No, I'm not asking for his favor." Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm just feeling how real the family ties in the Tian family are!"
"You wait here, I'll get something." Li Yuan said, getting up from the chair. Li Mu watched him enter a room, and after a while, Li Yuan came out with a scroll. He handed the scroll to Li Mu
In his hand, he said: "Go to the palace tomorrow and tell the people the truth without hiding anything. Then give him this scroll. Tell him that this thing was brought by Nazha, and now it is dedicated to him.
Begging for life. If you tell him again, I am just an ordinary old man now, and I want an ordinary granddaughter to be by my side. If he has me as his father in his heart, he will treat me as his father when I am alive.
, don’t raise the butcher knife to your relatives again, wait until I die, let him do whatever he wants, I can’t see it, that’s it.”
Li Mu was about to speak when the information that suddenly appeared in his mind made him stunned on the spot!
