The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 257

"Is the funeral grand?" Chang Xi asked casually. If the matter of Shangguan Jieyu was put in modern times, it would be regarded as a death in the line of duty.

Meier shook her head, "There seems to be some ceremony to be held in the palace, everyone is very busy, so Shangguan Jieyu's funeral was very sloppy."

"Ceremony?" Chang Xi frowned, "What is there to do in the palace at this juncture? Could it be that someone has offered Li Longji a new favorite?"

"Didn't you go to inquire about it?" Chang Xi sat in front of the dressing table and ordered the maid to do a cloud bun for herself.

Mei'er folded the quilt for her, "I found out, but everyone didn't know what was going on, they just said it was Eunuch Gao's order!"

"Oh!" Chang Xi hummed.

Mei Er went on to say: "Zhaoyi's younger brothers, Wu Zhong and Wu Xin have been released by His Majesty since that night, and the officials have been reinstated!"

"Hey, tell them to be good and don't cause trouble with me again!" Chang Xi still has lingering fears when he thinks about what happened in Hanyuan Palace that day.

Meier gave a grunt, "I'll think about it!"

After a while, Secretary Si Shan heard that Chang Xi had woken up and delivered a table of exquisite breakfast. Chang Xi slept for three days and three nights, and was already hungry. At this time, the food was extraordinarily sweet, and Zhou Si Shan who was beside him couldn't get along with joy. Mouth.

"Ms. Zhaoyi is awake?" Gao Lishi walked into the hall with relaxed steps and a happy expression on his face.

Chang Xi took a look at him, that day he said that he was going out to rescue soldiers, and he was colluding with Li Longji to play a show, keeping himself in the dark and worrying for a long time.

Gao Lishi observed his words, and felt happy, "Zhaoyi, don't blame the old servant, this is His Majesty's order!"

He pushed it backwards cleanly!Chang Xi murmured something in his heart, but he took care of Li Longji day and night with him for so long, lived and died together, and had a lot of friendship with each other, so he stopped shaking his face and said with a smile: "Grandpa Gao What's up?"

Seeing her smile, Gao Lishi knew that there was no grudge in her heart, and he was even more happy, "Your Majesty ordered this old slave to send some things to Wu Zhaoyi!"

"Oh?"

Gao Lishi waved his whisk, and a dozen or so servants filed in behind him, each of them carried a red lacquered wooden box on their shoulders and put it on the floor.

"This is a gift from His Majesty to Zhaoyi!" Gao Lishi pointed at the boxes of things.

Meier curiously opened a few of them, and inside were clothes, jewelry, palace fans, rouge and other things, but they looked very delicate, and they were supposed to be donated by monks and palace bureaus from various countries.

"Why did Your Majesty give me so many hairpins and clothes?" Chang Xi was a little surprised.

Gao Lishi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty will deal with the rebellion in the Hanyuan Hall in five days. At that time, all the concubines, including the Queen and Concubine Li, will be present. These clothes and jewelry are given to Zhaoyi by His Majesty! There is also Mei Zhang Dian, the last two boxes of things are specially given to you by His Majesty, please Mae Zhang Dian to dress up and go to the hall with Zhaoyi!"

"Oh?" Mei'er didn't expect Li Longji to give her something, and was very surprised.

"I still have things to do, so I will take my leave first, and please Zhaoyi rest well!" Gao Lishi cupped his hands and said, and with a wave of his whisk, he left the Hall of Eternal Life.

Chang Xi looked at the things all over the floor, feeling a little overwhelmed, and after a while ordered people to carry them down and pick them out.

Little Zhao stuck his head out and looked inside.

"Come in! What are you looking at, you monkey!" Chang Xi beckoned.

Little Zhao Zi came in, "I heard that His Majesty gave something to the Mae Zhang Palace, and I want to come and have a look!"

"Bah!" Mei'er spat with a blushing face, "What's there to see!"

Little Zhao Zi smiled and stood at the door without speaking.

Chang Xi was also happy in his heart, and then he became depressed again, "You." Looking at the palace people around, those palace people retreated knowingly.

"Do you know what happened to Consort Xiao and His Highness King Xue?" Chang Xi finally asked. Although Li Ye held her hostage in the end, she couldn't help but care about him in her heart. After all, they were friends for ten years, and no matter what his reasons were, The purpose is to save oneself.

Hearing Chang Xi mentioning Xiao Yu, little Zhao Zi let out a long sigh, "Brother Xiao is under house arrest in the princess mansion. It is said that Princess Yuzhen heard about his rebellion and cried and made noises in the mansion. Brother Xiao won't let in any water or rice, and just waits for death."

"Then what's going on now?" Chang Xi asked nervously.

Little Zhao Zi said: "It's all right! Don't worry, Zhaoyi, after Eunuch Gao sent a woman to the princess mansion, Big Brother Xiao started eating!"

"Woman? Who is it?" Before Chang Xi could speak, Mei Er was surprised.

"I don't know!" Little Zhao Zi shook his head, "As for His Royal Highness King Xue, he is currently thinking about it in the Penglai Garden in the center of Longchi. Concubine Xue is under house arrest in the palace. In short, there is no danger of her life."

"Your Majesty, do you know how to deal with it?" Chang Xi was a little worried. After all, this was treason, and the Jiu Clan were all taken lightly.

Little Zhao shook his head, "I haven't heard the master mention it! But this matter is beyond Zhaoyi's help!"

Chang Xi let out a long sigh, knowing that what Xiao Zhao Zi said was the truth.

"Is there any way for me to go and see him?" Chang Xi thought for a long time, and finally said this sentence.

Little Zhao Zi waved his hands again and again, "That's impossible, not to mention that Penglai Garden is an isolated island on Longchi, even if it is on flat ground, now it is guarded by General Hengyue himself, surrounded by three floors inside and outside, I am afraid that a fly can fly Don't go in!"

Seeing this, Chang Xi could only sigh at the window.

Penglai Garden is a three-storey pavilion built on the isolated island of Longchi. It is a place for people in the palace to have banquets in summer. It is surrounded by flowers and plants, and separated by a huge water surface. It is really a quiet and good place.

There are quiet and elegant rooms such as study room, chess room, and piano room in the building, where you can relieve boredom and have fun when you are bored.

Li Ye has been imprisoned here for three days. During these three days, he repeatedly thought about why he was so defeated. Because of this, he didn't think about eating and drinking, his beard grew out, his eyes were black and black, and he didn't look like a suave prince at all. However, since the rebellion that day, I no longer have to hide my sharp eyes, which has changed Li Ye's temperament drastically. Now he is as resolute and decisive as Li Longji, gloomy and unpredictable. Not that bohemian flirtatious young man.

The door creaked open!
There were footsteps.

Somebody come to see me?Or beheaded, or a glass of poisoned wine brought by the waiter?Li Ye knelt behind the case, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you used to living in this place?" Li Longji was wearing casual clothes and did not bring the Qingfeng Sword, kneeling casually across from Li Ye.

"Third brother?" Li Ye really didn't expect that Li Longji came to see him in person, "It's rare that third brother would like to see me as a younger brother at this time."

Li Longji gave a grunt, "Your assassin organization has been taken over by Zhen Lianwo."

"Understood!" Li Ye nodded. With Li Longji's ability, it will be a matter of time.

"Back then, I ordered my subordinates to scent Wang Meiren. You were the one who came to assassinate me in the middle of the night, right?" Li Longji picked up the teapot on the case, poured two cups of tea, and gave Li Ye a cup.

"Yes!" Li Ye didn't even look at it, picked up the teacup, and drank it down in one gulp.

"That's not how you drink tea!" Li Longji took a sip, "Wang Meiren was killed in front of my eyes, you must have done this!"

"Yes!" Li Ye nodded again.

"What is it used for?" Li Longji also had doubts in his mind when he recalled that beauty Wang disappeared in front of everyone that day.

Li Ye put his right hand on the case, "The hidden weapon, a mechanism, is here!"

"So that's it! Lishan startled the horse, the assassination of Zhen was also arranged by you!"

"Yes! It's a pity that the useless killer made the whole thing come to naught, and Zhang Jiuling, that old stubborn donkey. This king has already caused turmoil in Chang'an and killed Master Cai's family. He is still unmoved and refuses to submit to me." There was a wry smile on the corner of Li Ye's mouth.

"That spider is so clever, you also put the poisonous spider in Chang Xi's box?"

"Yes!"

"You really worked so hard to kill me!" Li Longji sneered.

"It's a pity that it didn't work once!" Li Ye laughed loudly.

Li Longji played with the exquisite teacup in his hand, "Did you approach Chang Xi because you like her, or do you have other plans?"

Li Ye suppressed his laughter and thought for a while, "At first, I had other plans, and then I fell in love with her unknowingly. Of course, my love can't be compared with Xiao Yu's. In my heart, Jiangshan is more important. important."

"I think so too! So don't say that you betrayed me because you couldn't get her. You don't have to pour all the dirty water on women." Li Longji said lightly, and added at the end, "Xiao Yu alone is enough for her Guilty!"

"Stupid!" Li Ye summed up Chang Xi in one word, and then smiled wryly, "Xiao Yu is not splashing dirty water, he really hates you because of Chang Xi!"

Li Longji sighed, "I am also responsible for this matter."

Li Ye glanced at him in surprise, "If the third brother really thinks so, please let Xiao Yu go, let's talk about it." A disdainful arc appeared on the corner of Li Ye's mouth, "Kill Xiao Yu, the third brother is sure to appease Chang Xi? Don't be afraid that she will feel guilty and ignore you again!"

"Fifth brother who knows me!" Li Longji said with a smile, "If you know yourself so well, I really don't know why you rebelled."

"I just want to get my name back. My name is Li Longye. You don't have to remove the word Long and change it to Li Ye just because you are the emperor. A man who can't even keep his own name has any face in this world." Li Ye's expression was calm.

Li Longji said nothing, "One last question."

"Ok?"

"Are you used to living here?"

"." Li Ye looked at the scenery outside the window, "This place is very good!"

"Then live here forever!" Li Longji said lightly.

Li Ye's eyes widened, "Aren't you going to kill me? Are you going to put me under house arrest for the rest of your life?"

Li Longji nodded.

"You don't need to be pitiful!" Li Ye put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, his eyes flashed coldly, "Kill me!" He would rather die than have mercy.

"Don't worry!" Li Longji snorted, "It has nothing to do with you, I promised my father that the Qingfeng sword in my hand will never be stained with the blood of the Li family!"

Li Ye subconsciously looked at Li Longji's waist, and it turned out that the sword he had been wearing was missing from his waist.

"Just after I killed my aunt, Princess Taiping, with it!" Li Longji emphasized.

Li Longji's father, Li Dan, was also Wu Zetian's biological son. When he ascended the throne, his elder brothers Li Hong and Li Zhe were all poisoned to death or forced to commit suicide by his mother Wu Zetian. The third brother Zhongzong Li Xian was killed by his wife Webster and his own daughter, Princess Anle, were killed with poison and wine. Among the five siblings, only he and Princess Taiping were left, so he doted on this sister very much, and Princess Taiping was not satisfied with being a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Being a female emperor like that, because of such ambition, she had a fierce conflict with Li Longji, who was the prince at the time.

Li Dan was afraid that the fratricide would happen again, so he passed the throne to Li Longji in time, and became the Supreme Emperor himself, hoping that Princess Taiping would get rid of her ambition.Unexpectedly, Princess Taiping was so angry that she rebelled and was eventually killed by Li Longji. After this incident, the disheartened Li Dan tearfully made Li Longji swear that the Qingfeng sword in his hand would no longer be stained with the blood of the Li family. .
