People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1090 Pei Xiaoniang only has eyes for her husband

"Everyone, please go out." Li Xuan wiped her hands, then hung the red silk silk on the washstand, then turned to look at everyone.

"Here!" All the servants and maids in the bridal chamber bowed and then exited the bedroom.

Taking off her coat, Li Xuan sat beside the bed.

Pei Shitong has been looking at him. Ever since he entered the room, he has been staring at him directly and boldly, never taking his eyes away from him.

"Does it look good?" Li Xuan suddenly asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes!" Pei Shitong nodded vigorously. When he nodded, his eyes were completely serious and eager to stare at him.

"Okay." Li Xuan reached out and grabbed Pei Shitong's hands, then put them on both sides.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on the red wedding dress she was wearing, and her hands could not help but place on the buttons of the wedding dress.

Pei Shitong did not move. He still raised his head and looked straight at Li Xuan without any fear. He even moved forward slightly.

One button was undone, then two buttons were undone, until the button on the chest was undone, Pei Shitong couldn't help but shudder.

Li Xuan smiled, stretched out her arms, hugged Pei Shitong into her arms, and then asked pitifully, "I'm scared."

"No!" Pei Shitong raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "I'm not afraid."

"Okay, you're not afraid." Li Xuan gently scratched the bridge of Pei Shitong's straight nose, and then asked in a low voice: "What's going on this time? I just received your message the day before, why did Chang'an change the next day? Is there news that the Queen of Heaven is going to grant a marriage?"

Pei Shitong lowered his head and leaned in Li Xuan's arms. Listening to his heartbeat, his heart gradually calmed down: "I don't know very well. Aye is three years after May. Nothing happened before July, but July A few months later, the number of people from my family suddenly came to hire me."

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows. July, wouldn't it be just after the emperor's birthday? Who would notice her after the emperor's birthday?

The emperor's birthday was celebrated, assassins assassinated him, and the emperor fainted.

Before the emperor fainted, he called Li Xuan's name; after the emperor fainted, he called Xue Rengui's name.

There were not many people present, the only outsiders were a few North Gate bachelors, the Forbidden Army and the Qianniu Guards.

As for the others, the Empress Wu, the Prince, the King of England, the Prime Minister, and Princess Taiping.

The North Gate bachelors didn't dare to do anything more on this matter. Princess Taiping couldn't think of it. Li Xian didn't have to do it, Li Dan wouldn't do it, and even the prince wouldn't think of offending Li Xuan by letting others marry Pei Shitong. So The only one left was Empress Wu.

The offer of employment is just a cover, the real key is the marriage.

It can be given to Li Xuan or to others.

The choice between these depends on how Li Xuan chooses the prince.

If he really chooses the prince, even in the matter of Pei Shitong, Empress Wu will have endless means waiting for Li Xuan.

Even if he doesn't do anything, Empress Wu has enough power to completely destroy him.

Fortunately, Li Xuan never took Li Xian's side from the beginning, and even decisively exposed the fact that the person in the secret room was fake Ming Chongyan.

After the position was chosen, Pei Guangxiao entered the palace and Empress Wu was granted a marriage.

……

Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy. He had escaped a crisis without even realizing it.

Or to be more precise, this is a choice of position in itself, and life and death are only on a thin line.

Li Xuan looked down at Pei Shitong and reached out to press her buttons again. Her body could not help but tremble slightly, but Li Xuan still firmly unbuttoned the last button.

In order to distract Pei Shitong, Li Xuan continued to ask in her ear: "What happens next? What happens after someone is hired?"

Pei Shitong glanced at Li Xuan with some trembling, then lowered his head and said: "My uncle came to ask me what I meant...I rejected them all, but then people came to propose marriage every now and then, and there were many of our children. I thought it was a bit strange...Originally This matter will have to wait until my husband returns to Beijing at the end of the year, but fortunately, my husband will come back soon. As soon as I sent the greeting card that day, my uncle was called into the palace by the Queen... Cold! "

Unknowingly, the coat had been taken off, and a red mandarin duck silk bellyband appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Pei Shitong's face turned red, and she finally shyly threw herself into Li Xuan's arms.

A white and smooth young back appeared in Li Xuan's sight, only two thin red ropes tied together.

Li Xuan leaned against Pei Shitong's ear and whispered, "From today on, my husband will protect you for the rest of your life."

"Husband!" Pei Shitong raised his head softly, his eyes filled with mist again.

Li Xuan lowered her head, and the bow tied with red rope was gently untied.

The beautiful white jade hands are clasped tightly, and the voice is sweet.

The butterfly dreaming of the fragrant path is drunk and leisurely, and the spring shirt is transparent.

There is no need to wait for spring among the flowers, and the green branches are thin.

The cloud servant girl is in chaos, the pear nest is shallow, and the slave is ashamed.

The moonlight kisses it down, and we join hands to swim through the Western Water.

……

The red candle burns out and tears flow through the mahogany wood.

In the darkness, Li Xuan gently held Pei Shitong in his arms, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and let her sleep soundly in his arms.

After a long time, Pei Shitong woke up faintly and subconsciously called: "Husband!"

"Where are you?" Li Xuan tightened her grip on Pei Shitong, kissed her forehead, and asked, "Would you like some water?"

Pei Shitong shook his head slightly, but raised his head and looked at Li Xuan in the darkness without speaking. "After we return home tomorrow, let's go to Luoyang to stay for a few days." Li Xuan whispered about the honeymoon.

Pei Shitong's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Okay."

They met in Luoyang originally, and the key is that there are only two of them when they return to Luoyang and revisit their old place.

Li Xuan lowered her head, and then continued: "Sanniang has known about her for a long time. The damselfly is just a child. My husband will inevitably go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, and he will also have to protect his family well. This matter will be taken care of by my husband in the future." I’ll leave it to you.”

Pei Shitong lowered his voice, then nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, husband, Shitong knows what to do."

Pei Shitong experienced the tragedy of her family being wiped out, and her alertness to danger was even higher than that of Liu Jinyu.

This is why Li Xuan is not worried about things happening to her family.

Liu Jinyu has a graceful nature and can always quickly think of a way to deal with anything. However, due to her status, it is difficult for her to come forward in many things.

Kodou'er is simple by nature and doesn't need to think too much.

Pei Shitong has experienced hardships and is decisive. If something really happens, she is more suitable to go out and show her face than Liu Jinyu.

Although Liu Jinyu is the granddaughter of the prime minister, not many people are willing to sell her face.

On the contrary, Pei Shitong came from a noble family and had a wider network than Liu Jinyu. It was much easier to do things than Liu Jinyu.

It is true that everyone has their own emotions, and Liu Jinyu and Pei Shitong may not get along harmoniously, but for many things, we should not just look at the inside, but also look at the outside.

……

Southwest of Luoyang, above the Luo River.

A awning boat was swaying forward without any boatman on board.

A large ship followed slowly behind, and it was full of soldiers. All the ships coming and going around stayed far away.

In the awning boat, Li Xuan was sitting on the bow, and Pei Shitong was leaning on his arms. She was dressed like a woman in Tsing Yi.

Li Xuan hugged Pei Shitong, looked at Luoyang City in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Go and see the Crown Princess tomorrow. I won't go because of my husband. It's a bit inappropriate."

"Yeah!" Pei Shitong responded in a low voice subconsciously, then raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with surprise on his face, and asked, "Why is it inappropriate?"

Li Xuan didn't say why it was inappropriate, but just whispered: "You can tell my husband what he said back then, and let her wait a little longer. The result will be there within a year."

"That thing you talked about back then?" Pei Shitong raised his head in surprise and chirped: "What your husband was talking about was the adoption, but now only the prince has an eldest grandson. Could it be that the King of England and the Prime Minister have their own Heir? But that’s not right. Even if you have an heir, he is still the eldest son, so how can you pass it on to someone else? "

Li Xuan hugged Pei Shitong tightly, and then said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible, but if the prince is deposed and demoted to a commoner, can he please invite the princess? Come forward, adopt the emperor's eldest grandson into your name, and then raise him well?"

"The prince has been deposed. How could the prince be deposed?" Pei Shitong looked at Li Xuan with a horrified face and almost sat up.

Li Xuan patted her shoulder and whispered: "Don't be impatient. Listen to my husband and tell me slowly. Do you still remember what happened to the Turks, the Demon Cult and Li Jingye a while ago?"

"Remember." Pei Shitong was smart. As soon as Li Xuan started, she said in disbelief: "Did the Crown Prince and Li Jingye collude with the Demon Cult and the Turks... to assassinate His Majesty with the intention of treason?"

"You see, when anyone mentions that the prince and Li Jingye are linked to the Demon Cult and the Turks, they will immediately think of the assassination of His Majesty on his birthday a while ago, but in fact this is not the case. The only person the prince is linked to is Li Jingye. Moreover, this matter was completely wiped out in my husband's hands, and Li Jingye's body was kicked into Huashan by my husband."

"Why, shouldn't this matter be reported to Your Majesty immediately?" Pei Shitong looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

"Your Majesty already knows that the matter was dealt with with His Majesty's permission. My husband had the right to kill first and report later." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "This matter has been covered up by Your Majesty, so it will not affect the Crown Prince for the time being, but Your Majesty, after all, have already known……"

"Then everything the prince does from now on will be watched by His Majesty. If something goes wrong, the prince will be deposed immediately." Pei Shitong nodded lightly. She understood this truth.

Pei Shitong was not only born into the Pei family, her father was a Luoyang County captain, she was even the cousin of Pei, the concubine of the filial emperor Li Hong.

In the past three years, Pei Shitong and Concubine Pei were actually dependent on each other, and they occasionally talked about palace affairs with each other.

She was no stranger to the flashes of swords and swords in these palaces.

"The prince has already shown that he has taken the wrong path from the moment he got involved with Li Jingye. There is no way he can come back, except for one way." Li Xuan lowered his head.

Pei Shitong immediately nodded and said, "It's rebellion."

"Yes, but the prince is always being watched by His Majesty and the Queen. How could he succeed? Therefore, his failure is doomed."

Li Xuan sighed softly, and then said: "If the prince did not rebel before his husband left Chang'an, then everything will be handled by the husband; once after the husband leaves Chang'an, and the prince plots rebellion and is captured, Luoyang must be notified immediately."

"Don't worry, husband." Pei Shitong's expression became serious. Then he looked at Li Xuan and asked, "The prince has been deposed. Will my husband be implicated in Changzhou?"

"No, my husband is not a princeling." Li Xuan shook her head gently, and then said: "My husband supports the King of England."

"King of England, isn't that..." Pei Shitong understood immediately.

"The King of England is very likely to be the next crown prince." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked down at Pei Shitong and said, "You and Sanniang should be careful. There has always been big trouble when the prince changes. If something happens at home, you have to listen to Sanniang. if."

"Yes!" Pei Shitong nodded with worry and said, "Don't worry, husband, Tong'er will definitely listen to the third sister."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "Others are not serious, but the emperor's eldest grandson must be protected..."

A burst of rapid hoofbeats suddenly sounded on the road along the shore, and immediately, a team of Qianniu Guards appeared on the roadside.

　The new version is good. It will prompt you directly if it is blocked and it will be unblocked in three minutes.
