The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 331

"Fifth brother, eighth brother, you guys are well informed!" Li Ying and the two brothers were sitting in the Chenxiang Pavilion, Li Yao had already poured a glass of wine for Li Ying.

Li Ju said: "How is the second brother?"

"It's all right!" Li Ying shook her head, looking a little downcast.

Li Yao snorted coldly, "Father told everyone that your vomiting of blood in Datong Hall was caused by old illnesses caused by drinking strong alcohol. Is that true, second brother?"

Li Ying shook her head blankly, "I don't know!"

Li Yao continued with a sneer and said, "Second brother has always been in good health, so there is no old disease! It's an excuse!"

"I heard from my mother that there is news in the Xingqing Palace that the second brother vomited blood in the Datong Hall because he was poisoned, and the poison was mixed in the Zhao wine prepared by the concubine Hui!" Li Ju said calmly.

Li Ying was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Who said it? Is the news accurate? I really don't believe in hidden diseases. After all, my body is my own, and I know it best!"

Li Yao hurriedly said: "No way! The eighth younger brother's biological mother, Liu Cairen, worked so hard to find out this news! The Qin imperial doctor who diagnosed your pulse was actually told by the emperor a long time ago, don't bring it up, just say You have an old disease!"

Li Juan sighed and said: "Father has been confused by that demon concubine. You know that your second brother is poisoned and vomiting blood, but you don't allow anyone to find out the truth, and you hand over the unconscious second brother to Concubine Hui to take care of!"

Li Ying felt very uncomfortable listening to Li Ju's words. Could it be that he has no status at all in the heart of his father?Even if he dotes on Concubine Wu Hui, he shouldn't treat his own life like nothing!

Li Yao said angrily: "I have long suspected that the second brother was poisoned, but everyone has concealed this matter from us. If it wasn't for Concubine Hui's actions, why did the emperor conceal it? Why is he not allowed to investigate? It is clearly because he is afraid of being found out. Concubine Hui is the mastermind behind the scenes, so it won't end well!"

"Civil!" Li Ju punched heavily on the mahogany pillar of Chenxiang Pavilion, shaking off a lot of dust, "The same is the prince, but the father is eccentric to the eighteenth brother, but he still let that demon concubine mess around!"

Li Yao said: "Second brother, you can't bear it anymore! Are we going to wait like this? You see, Concubine Hui has already dared to poison you! If you hold back and don't do anything, she will be even more unscrupulous. At that time, your life will be in danger! We must do something to let her know that we also have potential power, and we will not let her mess around!"

After listening, Li Ying hesitated and didn't speak.

"I heard from my mother that Concubine Hui sent a woman from the second brother's mansion to be a maid in Jiaofang Palace?" Li Ju did not continue what Li Yao said, but found another breakthrough.

Li Ying nodded and said, "It was Zhou Qingying, the daughter of Master Zhou Chengzong who I rescued on the street that day when he sold his body to bury his father."

Li Ju doubtfully said: "I have already heard about Zhou Chengzong's affairs, but this Miss Zhou sold her body to bury her father and entered the second brother's prince's mansion by accident, second brother doesn't think there is something strange?"

Li Ying said in a deep voice: "Are you suspecting that Qing Ying was sent by others to get close to me on purpose? Selling one's body to bury his father is just an excuse?"

"After all, it's too coincidental, the second brother has to guard against it!" Li Ju rubbed his chin and said.

Li Ying shook her head and said, "I don't think Qing Ying is such a person!"

Li Yao sighed softly, "Second brother is always soft-hearted and willing to trust others. It is rare for this Qingying to sell her body to bury her father! I don't believe that no one will be left in her Zhou family. Not coming out? Besides, the girl has only been here for a few days, she heard about it and provoked the King of Shou, and then Concubine Hui asked her to enter the Jiaofang Palace and become a palace maid, how could she not be sent by someone else to do something harmful to the second brother!"

After hearing this, Li Ying was speechless. She had doubted Qingying's motives on the street, but after her explanation, it suddenly became clear. Li Yao said so at this time, and she really felt that it was necessary to be defensive. Anyway, she already had After entering the palace, there will not be much interaction with him in the future, so forget about it!Although I told myself so in my heart, I still felt uncomfortable for no reason.

Neither Li Yao nor Li Ju paid attention to Li Ying's changing mood, but Li Ju said with some concern: "In a few days, my father will test our martial arts through Lishan Spring Hunting. Second brother must be well prepared. Don't belong to the Eighteenth brother, otherwise Li Linfu will be caught again!"

Li Yao said angrily: "Bringing this matter up, I want to kill that treacherous minister even more! He knew that his second brother was in a bad mood, but he still didn't postpone the spring hunting. I'm not feeling well, let the eighteenth brother take the lead, so as to increase his prestige among the officials!"

"From this point of view, the poison at the palace banquet was clearly conspired by Concubine Hui and Li Linfu! The purpose was to make the second brother lose to the eighteenth brother! Otherwise, how could there be an antidote to the poisonous wine of the great prince? Brother safely cured the poison? It must be so!" Li Ju swore: "That day, Qingying stood beside you, second brother, and she was the one who did it if you couldn't keep the poison! She and Li Linfu performed the bitter trick of selling one's body and burying one's father. The purpose is to get close to you, second brother!"

Li Ying was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Qing Ying had indeed touched his bronze nobility that day. Could it be that she was really a secret agent sent by Li Linfu, just to get close to him and wait for the opportunity to act?Suddenly there was a pain in his heart, he didn't want to believe it was true!
"Second brother Qingying, just be careful in the future!" Li Yao said in a deep voice, "The most urgent thing is to deal with the upcoming martial arts competition, and we must not let the eighteenth brother take advantage of it!"

Li Ying let out a long sigh, and looked towards the garden with his hands behind his back. Inside, the rhododendrons were blooming just right, the color of fire was so bright, when could he enjoy this beautiful scenery with peace of mind, without having to be wary of his relatives!
The Penglai Island in the center of Longchi has not changed for more than ten years since it was used as the palace where King Xue and Li Ye were imprisoned, and it is guarded by dozens of Jinwu Guards every day and night.And the number of people who came to visit Li Ye increased from Li Longji and Chang Xi at the beginning to Li Mao and Li Heng now!Originally, they were not allowed to get close to Li Ye as princes, but one of the two princes was not interested in power and the other only knew how to play around, so they were pardoned by Li Longji, and they could visit their fifth uncle every month.

17 years have passed, and Li Ye has changed from a handsome prince in Yushu to an old man who is about to reach his twilight years. Although he is several years younger than Li Longji, his years of imprisonment have reduced his enthusiasm for life. After drinking and singing, he is aging much faster than Li Longji. If Li Longji looks like a man in his forties now, Li Ye is more like a dying old man.

Every time Li Heng or Li Mao came to visit Li Ye, they felt sad.If this fifth uncle hadn't rebelled and forced the palace back then, he might still be living in style, not the desolate appearance with gray temples at all!The most important thing is that many years of doing nothing has drained the ambition in Li Ye's heart, and his eyes, which were originally shining like cold stars, have also become dirty. Even the most innocent people can see the despair and grief in them.Sometimes, Li Mao felt that his father was too cruel to his fifth uncle!Instead of being imprisoned all the time, it would be better to kill him back then!
In the early morning of this day, Li Ye was leaning on the soft couch to drink as usual, but when he heard footsteps outside the door, his cloudy eyes shone brightly, and he said happily, "Let me guess who came to see me! It's Heng." It’s still Mao’er!” Li Mao walked in with a sad face before he finished speaking.

Li Ye looked at Li Mao who was downcast and understood, he put the wine jar on the table and said displeasedly, "All the tricks I taught you failed?"

"It's all failed! She still treats me honestly, and even hates me even more!" Li Hao sat down cross-legged, picked up the wine jar on the case, and drank wildly.

After seeing it, Li Ye became anxious, grabbed the mouth of the wine jar with both hands, and shouted: "Your mother sent me these two jars, and you drank them all, what should I do!"

"Everyone is like this, and you only care about your few jugs of wine, how does your uncle deserve it!" Li Mao roared.

Li Ye chuckled, "It's different now, and I don't have many anymore! Besides, I have already taught you all the skills of hooking up women! Every time I use these tricks, I have tried them time and again. I don't know that you are so useless. I have learned it, but I have not succeeded! Dead wood cannot be carved, and dead wood cannot be carved!"

The repeated sighs made Li Hao even more depressed, leaning on his cheeks, he said: "It's a pity that she already has her own heart, no matter what I do, she won't like it!"

"The heart belongs to you? Who is it?" Li Ye was a little surprised. He knew how favored King Shou was. Who would compete with him for women with such eyesight?
Li Mao sighed several times before he said in embarrassment: "It's the second brother of the prince!"

"Tsk tsk!" Li Ye laughed and said, "This woman is really amazing! She actually confused the two princes!"

Li Mao said sadly: "A few days ago, my second brother was in the hands of my father, and my father sent him to the Jiaofang Hall to recuperate. Qing Ying just took care of him by his side without sleep!"

"The prince is injured?" Li Ye was shocked, "What's going on?"

Li Hao didn't have the heart to say this, but simply explained it, Li Ye was very puzzled, and thought: The prince has been in good health since he was a child, and he has been taught by a famous teacher, and he practiced inner family skills, how can he vomit blood so well?This is wrong, is there something else hidden in it?It is also a strange thing to stay in Jiaofang Hall without returning to the Prince's Mansion to recuperate after being injured!But he didn't say anything at the moment, just smiled and said: "Since that's the case, Uncle Wu will teach you some more effective tricks!"

"Really!" Li Mao slapped his hands together, and when he got carried away, he grabbed Li Ye's sleeve.

Li Ye said: "Where is that woman now?"

"My concubine wants to come to Jiaofang Palace to be a maid!" Li Mao replied.

Li Ye laughed loudly: "This is your mother and concubine creating an opportunity for you! You have to take advantage of it!"

"It's a pity that I will go to Lishan Spring Hunting with my father in a few days! We must be separated for a while!" Li Mao said reluctantly.

Li Ye shook his head and sighed, "How stupid! You wouldn't persuade your mother to take her with you during the trip to Lishan? Wouldn't that just create another chance to be alone? You can also take her to ride horses in the paddock to create a special atmosphere !"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that!" Li Hao's eyes lit up a lot in an instant, but he forgot about Li Linfu's instruction to practice bow and horse.

Li Ye patted him on the shoulder and said: "Pursuing a beautiful woman is like climbing a high mountain full of thorns. The road is long and long, so you have to work hard!" After finishing speaking, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Mao looked at the malicious Uncle Wu, and laughed a few times, thinking that he had some bad intentions, but he didn't know that Li Ye had other terrifying plans in his mind.

　I wish you all a happy new year, all the best, and a lot of red envelopes, wow Ka Ka O(∩_∩)O
