When he returned to the East Palace, Li Hong called Yan Zhuang in front of him and asked him a lot of things. After Yan Zhuang answered one by one, Li Hong went to rest with satisfaction. However, when he arrived at the bedroom, he saw Zhao Hongqi, Princess Gesang, Bai Suzhen and Guo Xiang looking at each other, which was quite tense.

"See Your Highness!" When the four of them saw Li Hong, they hurriedly polite him with a very respectful attitude.

"What are you doing?" Li Hong asked. He was surprised that the four women made the atmosphere so awkward.

"Nothing." Zhao Hongqin said carefully. This is her personality. She always shows caution. She always remembers that she is a maid and dare not be a little bit presumptuous in front of Li Hong. Similarly, her actions did make Li Hong feel sorry for her. Otherwise, if Zhao Hongqin was a maid or a person sent by Empress Wu, would Mao get Li Hong's respect?

Only Princess Gesang's face was gloomy and terrible. It can be imagined how she felt when she knew that Lu Dongzan was captured and Li Hong was about to start a war with Tubo.

Of course I am worried, disappointed, painful and hatred.

Bai Suzhen's performance is a bit similar to Zhao Hong's skirt, but because of her appearance and temperament, her caution and caution have become a little elegant and calm. Guo Xiang is a little domineering. Although this is the East Palace, Guo Xiang has no stranger at all. Since Li Hong favored Bai Suzhen in Qizhou City, Guo Xiang has changed. In addition, Lu Dongzan was driven crazy and Liu Ju was captured, and Guo Xiang's heart has changed again. So now Guo Xiang looks more afraid of heaven and earth.

Only Li Hong himself knows that this kind of domineering and strongness is pretended to be.

Where can girls be born domineering and strong? Everyone likes to be spoiled and loved. Guo Xiang does this because he actually wants to refuse to be spoiled, and wants to wrap himself in his domineering and strongness.

Li Hong felt that four women with special identities suddenly appeared in the East Palace. He felt that he needed to say something, so he stepped forward and said, "You two remember that there are many rules here. You are not familiar with anything when you are just a newcomer. You should learn more from Zhao Hongqi and don't let Yan Zhuang know what you are not, otherwise he will punish you, and the orphan will not shelter you."

Li Hong's tone of speaking was very eye-catching, and Bai Suzhen and Guo Xiang nodded slightly.

"Also, here you are just a maid. Since you are a maid, you should know what you do. Your task will be assigned to Zhao Hongju." Li Hong said, looking at Zhao Hongju, "Let them start with the servants, and punish them for dissatisfaction. The East Palace will not raise idle people."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhao Hongcun said in a low voice.

Princess Gesang's eyes were very complicated when she saw Li Hong.

"Do you have something to say to Gu?" Li Hong asked Princess Gesang.

Princess Gesang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I want to tell your Highness something."

"Get in!" Li Hong said, then walked in.

When he arrived at the inner hall, Li Hong sat on the couch, and Princess Gesang stood opposite him, the atmosphere was a little congested.

"Your Highness, how can you make a mistake? You have agreed to cooperate with us to destroy Lu Dongzan for Brother Wang. But since Lu Dongzan has been arrested this time, why do you still have to attack Tubo?" Princess Gesang asked.

"Tubo?" Li Hong sneered, "It is all for your own good. Don't you know what kind of life your people are living in Tubo?"

"Good for our Tubo?" Princess Gesang sneered, "Your Highness, do you like our Tubo soldiers and treasures?"

"The Tubo soldiers are indeed strong, and Gu likes them very much, just for them to destroy you Tubo. This reason is too far-fetched. As for wealth, Tubo does have many treasures, but Gu wants it, but you can still not give it to him. Do you need to destroy you Tubo?" Li Hong asked back.

Princess Gesang thought about it, and asked strangely, "What is that for?"

Li Hong smiled and said, "Destroy Tubo, rule the Western Regions, and then destroy Goryeo, Silla and Baekje. By then, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be expanded a lot, which is what I want."

Li Hong simply talked about his plans within the next five years. As for more plans, he didn't want to tell Princess Gesang. He knew this woman too well and could do anything for his own purposes. It is estimated that if she did not get the answer she wanted today, she would contact Empress Wu. No matter what kind of conditions she offered, Li Hong could be sure that she would return to Luoyang this time, Empress Wu would definitely oppose him attacking Tubo and occupying Tubo.

"You, this is what you want?" Princess Gesang couldn't believe it, because Li Hong said that he would not only destroy Tubo, but also integrate the Western Regions into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and destroy all the countries in the Western Regions, Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje. How many years will it take, how many people will be sacrificed, and how much money will it cost? The man in front of him has a big heart, right? How dare you think of such a crazy thing?

"It's like this at the moment?" Li Hong thought for a while and replied.

"Don't you want the throne?" Princess Gesang asked in surprise. She knew the battle between Li Hong and Empress Wu, but in fact she was very rude to ask.

"Princess, do you think it's appropriate for you to say this now?" Li Hong asked back.

"You really want to destroy Tubo?" Princess Gesang asked.

"Yes, not only Tubo, but also dozens of surrounding countries. As long as you think about it, you can destroy them." Li Hong said domineeringly.

Seeing Princess Gesang silent, Li Hong knew what she was thinking, and smiled and said, "You can tell them the words of the orphans, but will they believe you? Will they believe that the Tang Dynasty wants to destroy their country? Even the Western Regions, Goryeo, Silla, Baekje and other countries will not believe it, right? They will only think that what the Tang Dynasty needs is their submission and their surrender."

Princess Gesang was discouraged. As Li Hong said, if she told the countries around the Tang Dynasty, everyone would only think she was crazy and think that in order to save Tubo, she wanted to establish more enemies for the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Princess Gesang's cold aura disappeared, and instead she looked decadent.

"Your Highness, how are you going to treat Brother Wang?" Princess Gesang asked in a deep breath. This was her last hope. If Li Hong's answer made her dissatisfied, she would have to do something. Even if she knew that she would still not change the result.

"He is still the king of Tubo and can still live a luxurious life. Your family is still the king of Tubo for generations. However, you no longer ask about government affairs and military affairs, just accept worship from the people." Li Hong said. This was the best way he thought of to deal with the Tubo royal family, otherwise it would be a massacre.

Princess Gesang didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. To be honest, Li Hong's words gave her some comfort. At least her brother is fine, at least her family has saved the throne, which is enough. There are only others, let's talk about it when they leave their lives!

"What is your Highness going to do with Lu Dongzan?" asked Princess Gesang, which was also the result she was eager to know.

Li Hong thought for a while and replied, "Lu Dongzan's life and death were not decided by the lonely, but by the father and mother. However, it is impossible for him to return to Tubo. The biggest possibility is that he was left in Luoyang and was imprisoned in Luoyang forever."

Princess Gesang asked suspiciously, "I heard that Your Highness wants to know some secrets from Lu Dongzan?"

"There is no secret in Lu Dongzan, and I am not interested." Li Hong said directly, "What Gu wants to know is where his wealth is treasured. This time he used a large army to attack you Tubo. The rewards of the soldiers must be derived from Lu Dongzan's wealth. I must be cautious."

Indeed, if Empress Wu used military expenditure as an excuse to prevent Li Hong from attacking Tubo this time, Li Hong would have to say that he had paid the money. Otherwise, there would be no way to refute Empress Wu.

But the amount of money is huge, so how could he afford it can only be solved through Lu Dongzan's wealth.

The Tubo royal family had a huge wealth, but this was openly so Li Hong did not dare to reward these things to the soldiers who were fighting, which would make Emperor Gaozong taboo.

"Your Highness is very far-reaching." Princess Gesang was so hasty that she guessed Li Hong's thoughts as soon as she guessed.

"If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries." Li Hongdao, "If the princess is fine, go back first."

"I--" Princess Gesang wanted to speak but stopped.

"What else do you want to say?" Li Hong asked. Princess Gesang today was a bit strange, which made him puzzled. When did a cold and cruel Tubo princess become like her mother-in-law and mother now?

"I, I'm pregnant." Princess Gesang struggled for a long time before speaking.

"Well, it's pretty good, ah, what did you say?" Li Hong said in shock, not daring to calm down anymore. He is only fifteen years old this year, and he just had sex with Princess Gesang a few times. Why did he get pregnant with him?

"I'm already pregnant with your flesh and blood." Princess Gesang said with her head down.

Li Hong was silent. He liked children very much and knew more about what it means to have children in the royal family.

This means that his position as prince has become more stable.

But this news came too...too suddenly?

"Are you sure?" Li Hong asked in disbelief.

"I've looked at Taoist Master Sun, it was him." Princess Gesang said.

When Li Hong heard that it was examined by his teacher Sun Simiao, he no longer doubted it.

"I heard it's a girl." Princess Gesang said with a disappointed look on her face.

"The girl is pretty good too." Li Hong didn't know what to say, but after a while, "I'll tell my father immediately about this matter."

"My father knows that your treatment will improve a lot, but you have to know that even if you are pregnant with an orphan child and you are a Tubo, you cannot be the crown princess." Li Hong said in a stern tone.

"I know this. As long as my child can grow up safely and happily." Princess Gesang said with a loving look on her face.

"You go down and have a good rest. Others will arrange for you." Li Hong said.

No wonder Princess Gesang has changed. Now Li Hong knows the real reason.

"Yes." Princess Gesang took the order and retreated. (To be continued)
