Chapter 162 There are traces to follow

Gao Lishi hurried back to the palace and reported to Emperor Li Longji about Li Xiu's discovery: Li Xun and Li Feng were competing for the position of prince.

Li Longji said in surprise: "Does Gao Aiqing think this statement is well-founded?"

"I feel that there are traces to follow!"

“How to say it?”

"Your Majesty, the last time Niu Xianke's political affairs hall was dismissed, the representative of the Regent was not the prince, but King Shu Li Xun.

Secondly, how long has Li Xun been serving as the Salt and Iron Prison? In less than three months, the Regent transferred him back because there was a big problem with the Regent's health. If the Regent did not want to reuse him, he would not have transferred him back.

Third, the Wei minister went to negotiate with the Regent. Three times Li Xun represented the Regent, especially the appointment of the new prime minister, Li Xun came forward.

Fourth, Li Xun is indeed more decisive and smarter than the prince Li Feng. Li Feng is too mediocre, and the regent is also worried that after his death, Li Feng will not be his majesty's opponent.

Therefore, the Weichen recognized Li Xiu's inference, and Li Chengqi was likely to want to change his crown prince."

Li Longji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said to himself: "I am afraid of something happening, so I dare not change the prince easily. He is so good that he actually wants to change the prince. Don't he know that changing the prince will cause trouble?"

"Is Thirty-Balang paying attention to this matter?"

Gao Lishi nodded, "I feel that Thirty-Balang has acted, but he refuses to say that it is best that Your Majesty can summon him to ask!"

Li Longji thought for a while and said, "I don't want to ask about this matter and let him do it, but my dear will pay close attention to him."

"I understand, and there is also his wedding, and he wants to use the most frugal way."

Li Longji laughed, "He actually wants to be like me, very well, worthy of advocacy. My neck is a little sore, so I will go to Wu Xianyi's place tonight."

.........

Li Mao hadn't entered the palace to visit his mother for more than a month. He was afraid of meeting his mother. When he met, he would complain that he was not motivated and would compare Li Xiu with him, which made him very upset.

Although he didn't want to see his mother, he still entered the palace today. He just received the news that the emperor gave Li Xiu three hundred soldiers, which made Li Mao quite moved. He also hoped that he could have an army guard around him. Although the warriors were flexible, they could not be on the table after all.

Concubine Wu Hui sat in the pavilion, looking at her son standing with her hands down. She gave birth to several sons, but they all died young. Only Li Mao grew up, but she caused trouble and made her worry-free.

"What do you want the army guards to do?"

"The child feels unsafe. I heard that Li Xiu had three hundred soldiers. The child is not convinced. He is the prince and the prince is also the prince. Why does he have the military guards, but the child has no?"

"There are so many princes who don't have military guards! What do you compare with him? He is the governor of Beiting. It is normal for him to have an army. You don't have any official position. How can you ask me to ask your father?"

"Mother, according to the rules, the prince of the county does not allow military guards. Li Xiu just approved it, so mom will apply for me! Tell me about it and give me an army. I don't want three hundred people, one or two hundred people are enough."

Although Concubine Wu Huidian spoiled her son, she was not confused at all. She knew that the emperor would not approve the army to protect her son, and she didn't even have a prince, so how could she give it to her son?

Li Xiu got the army because he took up the position of Beiting Jiedu.

Concubine Wu Hui took out a broken jade pendant and handed it to her son, "This is 20,000 yuan. You can recruit a group of warriors by yourself. The army is too special, I won't say it."

Also, the Zheng family is urging you to get married as soon as possible! Don’t be idle all day outside. You should take back your mind and take up a military position. You should have a career like Li Xiu. My mother is old and has a weak sex. Now she has to rely on you. You have to be more proud of her mother.”

Li Mao’s most feared was that his mother mentioned the marriage. The woman in the Zheng family was sick and not good-looking. She actually wanted to marry her by herself and face her all day long, so he refused to do it.

"Mom, that woman in the Zheng family is not a sign that is good for her husband and son. If the child wants to marry a woman who can give birth to a son, why don't you quit this marriage!"

"This is a marriage decided by your father, how can you give up at will?"

"Mom, just tell my father! I just say that my children are weak. If I really want to marry the daughter of the Zheng family, I can change to someone who can give birth to a child."

Seeing that his son was sincere, Concubine Wu Hui said it was reasonable. The daughter of the Zheng family was indeed sick and could not have children. Marrying such a daughter-in-law would have a legitimate heir.

"Okay! Find a chance to tell your father. If you have time, make more friends with important officials. Don't be idle all day long. Wu Xianyi is in the limelight now. If you don't help your mother, your mother's status in the palace will be gone."

"Boy remember!"

Li Mao's ears were almost heard of calluses. After taking 20,000 guan, he ran out of the palace in a flash.

Since you can't get the army, then recruit some real warriors!

...........

Since destroying the coral, Concubine Wu Hui has been spending the past few days of worrying about gains and losses. The emperor rewarded her with a bear skin, but she said nothing. She asked the two palace maids, and the two palace maids finally had to admit that they used this bear skin to smash the coral to silence.

It means that the emperor knew that coral was smashed by himself, but the emperor did not mention this matter, and Concubine Wu Hui dared not admit it, making her feel like a thorn inserted into her heart. She has been restless for several days. She regrets smashing coral, but is afraid that the emperor will ignore herself from now on.

The strong sense of crisis made her worse against Wu Xianyi. She spent a lot of money to bribe the people around the emperor and tried hard to say bad things about Wu Xianyi, but she herself never said bad things about Wu Xianyi in front of the emperor.

As if everything had nothing to do with her, she tried her best to figure out the emperor's thoughts and wanted to win back his favor for him.

But Concubine Wu Hui still felt that the emperor was gradually cooling down on her, and the house was leaking and raining all night. In the past two days, Concubine Wu Hui suddenly discovered some old stories about her circulating in the palace, saying that she was cruel and ruthless, and dozens of palace maids were executed by her.

Of course these are all facts, but the question is, who did the work of these things.

At first, Concubine Wu Hui thought it was Wu Xianyi who was spreading, but soon found that it had nothing to do with Wu Xianyi.

Concubine Wu Hui immediately realized that an undercurrent against her appeared in the palace.

It is very likely that the concubines she had defeated before, Liu Hua, Zhao Li and Qian, who had disappeared for more than ten years, have they started to attack themselves again?

Concubine Wu Hui felt that she was full of enemies, and the Hong Coral incident was like a poisonous sting in her heart. She was really exhausted and exhausted.

At this time, a palace maid walked over quickly and said with a blessing: "Empress! There was news from the front that the emperor will not come tonight."

"What? Didn't you agree to come?"

"I don't know either. It seems... it seems that the emperor has gone to Hanbi Pavilion."

Concubine Wu Hui clenched her silver teeth. Hanbi Pavilion was Wu Xianyi's residence. The emperor hadn't been there for five days. Why did he go again today?

And I clearly agreed last night that I would like to taste the beef bone soup I made today, but I actually changed my mind. Why?

Of course, Concubine Wu Hui knew that Wu Xianyi would not go to the court ahead. The emperor’s change of mind should have nothing to do with her, but who else?

Could it be... Wu Huifei vaguely guessed that Ten** has something to do with Li Xiu?

This is what she fears the most. Her mother is noble by her son, and her son cannot compete with Li Xiu. In the end, she may lose to Wu Xianyi.

Concubine Wu Hui was anxious and felt as if she was cut by a knife.

She suddenly took out the veil and covered her mouth, and another trace of blood appeared on the veil.

"Empress, let's go and ask the imperial physician!"

Several palace maids were so scared that they ran out.

Concubine Wu Hui shouted sternly: "Stop it all!"

She walked up to her and stared at the palace maids fiercely, "Don't tell anyone what happened today, and don't reveal it, otherwise you will all die!"

.............

In Hanbi Pavilion, Li Longji lay on the soft couch with his upper body naked. Wu Xianyi applied the ointment to his back and neck, then slowly massaged it, and pressed the medicinal properties into it little by little.

A stream of chill penetrated into his skin, and he felt the medicine enter his body, and the soreness began to be released.

This made Li Longji feel very comfortable. He had many concubines, at least thousands of people, but he really liked them. For more than ten years, he has always favored Concubine Wu Hui because Concubine Wu Hui's words and actions are very close to his heart.

But as he controlled the entire Daming Palace and his power began to rise in the court, Li Longji's mentality gradually changed, and he began to have the strength and majesty of an emperor.

But Concubine Wu Hui was still the same as before, and did not follow his mentality and change. When he needed encouragement, Concubine Wu Hui still comforted him like before, which made Li Longji feel a little unhappy.

Just like Li Longji used to like sweets, Wu Huifei always prepared a lot of exquisite desserts. Now Li Longji wants to eat salty and add a little spicy, but Wu Huifei still prepares him with a tired dessert, which of course made Li Longji dissatisfied.

But Wu Xianyi was as soft as water. Although she didn't give him salty and spicy, her son was very successful and gave Li Longji all kinds of exciting news. He loved the house and the mist, so he naturally liked Wu Xianyi's softness.

Wu Xianyi took care of him and gave him massages, making him forget his worries and gave him warmth. He liked this feeling very much.

"Xiu'er said today that he wanted to adopt the simplest wedding, why?"

Wu Xianyi smiled and said, "This child has never liked luxury. He has been a little stingy since he was a child and is reluctant to spend money. It should be because he is reluctant to spend extravagance! Although it was his father who gave him money, it is the same for him."

Li Longji laughed and said, "It seems to make some sense, but this is a good thing! If everyone was extravagant and luxurious, my inner treasury would have been emptied long ago."

"Your Majesty's inner treasury should be kept for great things. Money should be used on the blade, rewarding soldiers and important officials. Your family will be more frugal, which will only make people in the world respect it."
