Crown Prince's Counterattack

Manna Hall

Early this morning, Li Shimin called all the older princes to the Ganlu Palace, without saying anything, his eyes swept over them over and over again.

All the princes lowered their heads, as if they were listening to the hadith, and no one could find fault.Those who are more sensitive to the news have already known the news of the prince's disappearance. No matter how bad the atmosphere in the palace is, they know how to behave with their tails between their legs and say less and make less mistakes.

Li Shimin's mood is extremely bad. From the very beginning when he received the news of the prince's disappearance to the sudden leak of the news, his mood has taken a turn for the worse. The only thing that can comfort him now is that the prince has never heard of it. At least this is not the worst. As a result, he has sent people to search for the whereabouts of the prince, and only hopes that the prince can come back safely.

Because of the prince's filial piety to the queen, Li Shimin thought of the eldest grandson queen who died young, and agreed to let Sima Yi leave the palace in a moment of excitement, but now Li Shimin regrets that he shouldn't let the prince leave the palace, otherwise there will be no such letdowns in the future. annoying things.But the matter has come to this point, while Li Shimin was looking for someone, he did not forget to find out the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince.

For the prince's trip this time, few people in the palace knew about it. Li Shimin was puzzled, and finally turned his attention to the personal palace servant who was waiting for him. Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face darkened.

Who bought the people around him?

The first thing Li Shimin thought of was these princes who had grown up. Who made this position so attractive? The mastermind who assassinated the prince must be among them. Li Shimin observed the princes calmly, feeling more and more heavy in his heart. None of which he wanted to see.

"Father, did something really happen to the prince's brother?"

Little Li Zhi suddenly ran up to Li Shimin, tugged at his robe, blinked his big eyes, and his small face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, your brother will be fine"

Li Shimin lowered his head, his stiff face eased a little, and comforted Li Zhidao, and only when facing the heirs of the previous empress, Li Shimin's attitude was tolerant. When everyone saw this scene, they had different thoughts.

Xiao Li Zhi nodded sensiblely, but there was still a bit of frustration in his expression.

"Father, why don't you ask your ministers to bring some people to look for Big Brother?"

Wei Wang Li Tai pondered for a while, and asked tentatively.

"No need, I have already sent someone to look for it, not to mention the assassin has not been found so far, how can I let you leave the city without worry?"

A dark light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he comforted Li Taidao. At this moment, no one can act rashly. Li Tai was a little reluctant, but seeing Li Shimin's complexion was not very good, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"During this period, you all stay in the mansion honestly, you know!"

"Children take orders"

Everyone below has different thoughts, but their faces are the same respectful and completely obedient.

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, not to mention that it is troublesome now, and those who are not sure that those who attacked the prince will also attack other princes, and more importantly, Li Shimin suspects that the people who attacked the prince are among them, so what he said Words are not necessarily a warning.

Now that the crown prince has not been found, Li Shimin didn't have much thought to say anything more, and after a few words of advice, he let them go.

Walking out of the main hall, Li Yin looked around and pulled Li Ke into a corner.

"Sixth brother, what are you doing?"

Li Ke looked at his own brother in confusion.

"Third brother, now that the crown prince has an accident, our chance has come!"

A strange light flashed in Li Yin's eyes, Li Shimin's appearance today was simply partial to the crown prince to the extreme, he hoped that the person who oppressed them so hard would never come back.

"shut up!"

Li Ke's face tightened, and he reprimanded sharply. After looking around and no one was paying attention, his face eased a little, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction when he looked at Li Yin.

"Where do you think this is, you have to think too much about it!"

Li Ke's tone was full of helplessness, and Li Min's temperament was too impulsive. Some words in the palace can only be kept in the heart, and cannot be announced to the public. If others hear this, it will inevitably cause another disturbance, but Who told this to be his own brother, so he had to warn him to be cautious in his words and deeds.It's not that he doesn't understand Li Yin's thoughts, if he can change his identity, he won't be tempted, but it's a pity...

"...Don't forget the past identity of the concubine mother, the emperor will not give us this opportunity"

Li Ke's tone was full of self-mockery and sadness, and the light in Li Yin's eyes dimmed instantly when he heard these words.

"I'm really not reconciled..."

Li Yin clenched his fists, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his words.

"...that's how life should be"

Looking at the frustrated Li Min, Li Ke, who was in a low mood, didn't know how to comfort them. The mother and concubine taught them this way since they were young, not to mention their past identities, but they are just bastards, and this position is also very difficult. Seeing them, it's just that in the face of temptation, they still can't help but waver.

"one two Three……"

Xinxin's feet are immersed in the cool stream water, his sleeves are rolled up to his arms, and he counts the freshly caught fish and shrimp in the bamboo basket, showing a comfortable smile. Today's harvest is enough to make a table of hearty meals. Satisfied, I waded across the stream to the shore, watched the sinking sun, and walked on the way back.

More than half a month has passed in a flash, and no one thought that they would stay in this remote place for so long.The original dilapidated house was rested a few times, the weeds in the yard were cleaned up, the fence outside the wall was re-attached, and the mountains became more popular.

As the sun sets, smoke rises from the kitchen.

Sima Yi leaned back on the simple wooden bed, the injury on his foot was fixed by a splint, after half a month of recuperation, he was much better.It takes courage to break one's own right foot with one's own hands. Sima Yi has summoned the imperial physician many times to inquire about the treatment of foot diseases, but just like the answer Li Chengqian got, there is no way for the crooked right foot to return to normal. To a certain extent, this is the disability that has been accumulated over the years, and the older the age, the more mature the skeleton, and no one can reverse it in the end.

Sima Yi's move this time was not impulsive. When he jumped off the carriage and just twisted his right foot, he had this idea instantly. If an ordinary person did this, then maybe the broken bone might be broken. Unable to connect, but Sima Yi is different. His greatest confidence is the ancient bronze bell hidden in his body. He clearly feels that the power of the ancient bell is constantly nourishing the injury on his foot. Maybe he will soon I can walk like an ordinary person.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat"

Xinxin carried the food into the inner room, and served Sima Yi thoughtfully. He has been taking care of Sima Yi so carefully these days. I am more skeptical.

“This soup is good...”

The game in the mountains is not as delicate as the meals in the palace, but the taste is extremely delicious. Sima Yi looked at the bowl of fish soup in front of him, and couldn't help admiring it. Hearing Sima Yi's simple compliment, his eyes brightened Now, the joy was beyond words, looking at the slightly shy man in front of him, Sima Yi had complicated thoughts.

Junziyuan cooks, even in the countryside, this man will not easily enter the kitchen, but the man in front of him is good at cooking, he sees everything he does these days, even if he is in Living in such an environment is also leisurely, capable is no longer enough to describe this person, the more so, Sima Yi is more and more curious about Xin's true identity.

“Excellent workmanship, really rare”

"...His Royal Highness laughed."

Xinxin looked at Sima Yi with a calm smile on his face. He had no intention of hiding anything, so he didn't feel any panic when Sima Yi's words meant something.

Not seeing the scene he wanted to see, Sima Yi withdrew his gaze, started eating intently, and kept silent in a timely manner.

Half a month has passed in a flash. Sima Yi knew that this trickery would come to an end. An accident made him see a lot of people's hearts. During the period of his disappearance, The people here have a lot of thoughts, even though he is recuperating here, the news from the palace has not stopped, but there is only one thing that makes Sima Yi not very satisfied.

He had originally doubted the origin of Xinxin, and Bao Buqi was the spy who had been placed beside him, so he gave this opportunity to be alone, which was also a temptation, no matter what he wanted to do, it was the best opportunity, but he As usual, it was carefully taken care of without any changes, which made Sima Yi wonder if he really misjudged the person, but because of the careful care during this period, Sima Yi was still much less defensive.

It's just that the injury on his foot is about to heal now, it's self-defeating in the end, and it's time to go back. Thinking of those colorful faces, Sima Yi finds it interesting. a storm.

"Clean up, we will leave for the palace tomorrow"

Sima Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and ordered lightly.

"...Yes, Your Highness"

Yi Xin tightened her fingers holding the bamboo chopsticks, then replied as if nothing had happened, and when she left the room, a wry smile appeared on her face.

How much he wished that such a day could stay like this forever, but he understands that this is a luxury, but being able to stay by His Highness's side is enough...
