"Praying for rain for the crime of oneself? It was indeed a sinister plan!" After hearing Li Shimin's story, Li Xiu couldn't help but say in shock that because of the severe drought, the locust plague is likely to come. As a result, someone wrote a letter asking Li Shimin to issue a crime of oneself to pray for rain. On the surface, it seemed like a very normal suggestion, but in fact it was a hidden murderous intent.

Li Shimin had an incorrect position. Even if he had whitewashed himself many times after he ascended the throne, everyone knew what was going on. Of course, it would not be said on the surface. However, if Li Shimin committed a crime this time and prayed for rain, no matter whether it rained in the end, it would confirm that he killed his brother and imprisoned his father and was incorrect. Even historical books would record it. At that time, it would not only greatly damage Li Shimin's reputation, but also shake his rule over the Tang Dynasty.

"This is not just a sinister. If I really issued an edict for guilt, if it doesn't rain in the future, they can say that I am guilty and even God is unwilling to forgive me. If it rains in the future, although it seems that God has forgiven me, it will make more people secretly discuss the original things, and in the future it will give people an excuse to attack me, laying endless hidden dangers for the future."

When he said this, Li Shimin snorted again with anger, and then said again: "What's worse is that if I force myself to issue this self-criticism, I will definitely be said to have no regard for the safety of the people in the world for my own selfishness. If natural disasters come in the future, my crime will be further confirmed. It can be said that no matter what I do, I will only be able to end up being innuendo!"

At the end of the story, Li Shimin couldn't help but show an annoyed and helpless expression. This time he encountered a dignified and open plot. No matter what he did, he was wrong. It can be said that it was the first time he had encountered such a frustrated situation when he grew up.

"This..." Li Xiu was speechless when he heard this. Faced with this kind of open conspiracy, he also had no way to crack it. In fact, if it could be cracked, it would not be called open conspiracy.

"Forget it, today is the Lantern Festival, so let's not talk about these troubles. I heard that my cousin's daughter was found, but she was still the one who lives in your house. This is really unexpected!" Li Shimin also knew that Li Xiu could not help him in this matter, so he simply shook his head and then started chatting some gossip.

"Not only did Your Majesty not expect this, but also the princess and others, especially Mr. Ma, and he didn't expect that the niece he had always thought was the lost daughter of Princess Guanghua, the princess of the former Sui Dynasty..." Li Xiu said and told the story of Princess Guanghua's separation from Hen'er, as well as the entanglement between Princess Guanghua's younger brother Ma Yi and Princess Guanghua.

"What a legendary story. I didn't expect that after my cousin escaped from Jiangdu, she would have such an experience. However, she is considered a lucky person who has the will of heaven, and she finally reunited with her daughter!" Li Shimin was also amazed after hearing this. Although he had heard people mention the reunion of Princess Guanghua's mother and daughter, he was not sure about the detailed situation, so he asked Li Xiu.

"Haha, the legendary story of Princess Guanghua has not ended. After He'er recognized her mother, Uncle Ma was also very disappointed. After all, he always thought that He'er was the daughter of his Ma family and could help them continue the incense of the Ma family, but in the end it was a waste, which made He'er feel a little guilty. As a result, she actually thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, to match Uncle Ma and her mother Princess Guanghua. If they can get married, He'er will become Uncle Ma's daughter!" Li Xiu finally smiled again.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Li Shimin looked at Li Xiu in even more surprise. He really didn't know about this. In fact, except for the few people in Li Xiu's family, it was impossible for others to notice the private relationship between Ma Ye and Princess Guanghua.

"It's true. With the help of Hen'er, I see Uncle Ma and Princess Guanghua are having a happy date. It's probably not long before we can invite Your Majesty to have a wedding banquet!" Li Xiu said with a smile again. The reason why he told this in front of Li Shimin was to remind Li Shimin. After all, he wanted to give marriage to Princess Guanghua last time. Now let him know about Uncle Ma and Princess Guanghua. For the sake of his own people, I'm afraid Li Shimin would not be able to mention this matter again.

"If this is true, that would be great. My cousin has his own home, so I feel relieved!" Li Shimin nodded and smiled when he heard this, but he was also a little disappointed at this time, because he did plan to give Princess Guanghua a marriage, but now that Princess Guanghua and Ma Ma are together, he doesn't have to say anything else.

Li Shimin was in a bad mood, and Li Xiu chatted with him for the middle of the night until the sky in the east was lightly bright, and Li Shimin said goodbye and left. The entire Chang'an City was celebrating the Chinese New Year. Even in the early morning, most people on the streets smiled, but Li Shimin in the carriage was frowning. Maybe this was the price of becoming an emperor?

Li Xiu looked at Li Shimin's carriage and left Qujiangchi, and then stood up. Although he wanted to help Li Shimin, he was powerless in some things, not to mention that this matter also involved the Xuanwu Sect at the time, so he was even more inappropriate to interfere. Moreover, Li Shimin had been on the throne for so long, so he had his own plans for some things.

After seeing Li Shimin away, Li Xiu did not leave immediately, but sat by the Qujiang Pool and enjoyed the scenery around him. He had been to Qujiang Pool before, but he rarely had the opportunity to enjoy the early morning scenery here like today. For example, the pleasure boats in the pool were quiet after a night of singing and dancing, and some of them slowly approached the shore. The guests on the boat walked off the boat lightly or heavily and started a new day of life.

It was not until the sun rose completely that Li Xiu stood up and returned to the mansion. The first thing he did was to ask Mr. Ma if he was back? Of course, he was not worried about Mr. Ma, but about the two girls Qi Niang and Hen'er. Although they should be with Mr. Ma, it was hard to guarantee that these two girls would not run around. Even if the guards followed him, Li Xiu was still a little worried.

However, what Li Xiu did not expect was that Ma Ye and his group had not come back yet, which made him even more worried. Fortunately, his worries did not last long. Soon, Ma Ye brought two little girls back to the mansion. After receiving the report from the servant, Li Xiu rushed to the front yard immediately and wanted to ask how Ma Ye and the others were having fun last night?

"Brother, you are here just right. Do us a favor quickly, otherwise we will lose our lord tonight!" What Li Xiu did not expect was that as soon as he arrived in the front yard, he saw Qi Niang rushing towards him, hugging his arm and acting coquettishly.
