Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 149 Long Xinyue

While speaking, Xie Zhongju's gaze was like a torch, always observing the subtle changes on Fang Yi'ai's cheeks.

The experience of being a human being in two lifetimes made Fang Yi'ai's nature more alert. Facing Xie Zhongju's intentional temptation, how did he not know?
"How to deal with Princess Xiangcheng and consort Xiao Rui?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yiai suddenly remembered the words that Empress Changsun had instructed.

Reminiscing that Xie Zhongju is the confidant of Empress Changsun, Fang Yiai had an idea, and immediately brought up Gao Yang and Fang Xuanling, "The Xiangcheng couple slandered Shu'er's name for no reason. Right now there are rumors in Chang'an City. Guichai just died in Fangfu. I have also seen that the student's father has already been bedridden by the disease."

After saying bitter words, Fang Yiai changed the subject and quickly shifted the focus of the topic to Empress Changsun.

"When I was talking with the Empress Empress in the Ten Thousand Flowers Hall, she also told the students that if necessary, Princess Xiangcheng can "temporarily" lose her memory."

When it comes to the word "temporary", Fang Yiai can emphasize the tone, intending to remind that this move will not cause any permanent damage to Xiangcheng.

Knowing that this matter was ordered by Empress Changsun, Xie Zhongju nodded and murmured, "Temporary amnesia?"

After figuring out the dangers of the "time bomb" in Xiangcheng, Xie Zhongju said in a soft tone, "My son-in-law, this matter concerns the face of the royal family, I hope my son-in-law will think twice!"

Seeing the change in Xie Zhongju's attitude, Fang Yiai's heart sank immediately, and she should say, "Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me."

After finishing speaking, the two stood up one after the other, and walked towards the Qin Mansion along the quiet and deserted streets.

Inside the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.

Sitting in front of the desk, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to uncover the urgent memorial that Changsun Wuji had just sent.

After reading the brief and concise memorial content, Li Shimin's eyes widened, and he said to himself in surprise, "What! Changsun Dan was so angry that He Zudao vomited blood for three liters?"

After being slightly dazed, Li Shimin said to the eunuch who served at the side: "Hurry up! Order all the people from the Imperial Hospital to go to Changsun's mansion to consult and treat Changsun Dan!"

Hearing Li Shimin's order, the eunuch was a little embarrassed, and said timidly, "Your Majesty, all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are ordered to treat Prime Minister Fang."

Recalling the imperial decree issued at noon, Li Shimin felt his head was as big as a bucket, and stretched out his hand to gently rub his temples.

"Ouch!"

"What's going on this year? Ruhui is recuperating at home, Xuanling is bedridden, and now Changsun Dan is here to add to the chaos. Is my imperial hospital an ordinary hospital?!"

After muttering for a while, Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and said, "Forget it, let the imperial doctor go to the uncle's mansion tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin waved his sleeves, and went to the Lizheng Palace to look for Empress Changsun with a full of depression.

In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun had already received Xie Zhongju's report on "Guozijian Hands Talking about Chess Club".

Among them, because he had also lost to Changsun Dan, Xie Zhongju inevitably had some personal ideas between the lines, and it was this little private thing that just influenced the mind of Changsun Empress.

"Eldest Sun Dan is too domineering, isn't he? If Fang Jun doesn't dare to fight because of my face, I think his reputation as the "top of the commoner list" will be ruined?"

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun casually threw the memorial into the charcoal basin.

Looking at the rising flames, Empress Changsun murmured softly, "Thinking about it, I don't blame Fang Jun for being competitive."

Halfway through the conversation, Empress Changsun suddenly remembered the cause and effect of Fang Xuanling's illness in Xie Zhongju's memorial.

Reminiscent of Princess Xiangcheng who spread rumors with ulterior motives, the eldest grandson Empress who has always regarded Gao Yang as her own snorted coldly, "If I hadn't seen the Shougong Sha on Shu'er, why would I not be deceived by this stinky girl in Xiangcheng? Right now Fang Xuanling is bedridden because of this, Fang Jun doesn't feel very good about it, does he?"

While Empress Changsun groaned softly, the Zhumen of the Lizheng Palace were slowly pushed open a gap, and then Li Shimin in casual clothes walked in.

Seeing Empress Changsun looking at the charcoal basin in a daze, Li Shimin mistakenly thought that she was angry at the fact that Changsun Dan vomited blood, so with a wry smile, he turned to Empress Changsun and comforted her softly.

"Is the empress angry at the fact that Changsun Dan vomited blood?"

Hearing Li Shimin's tone of voice, Empress Changsun restrained her mood and chuckled, "Where, Changsun Dan and He Zudao are both young and vigorous young men. It is normal to have some disputes."

Li Shimin never thought that Empress Changsun would be so upright, and seeing that there was no meaning of complaining in her words, his hanging heart slowly fell down.

After going to the wooden chair, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat side by side in front of the charcoal fire, thinking, "Changsun Wuji has secretly formed a clique for personal gain in the past two years, and his disciples have more old acquaintances than Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui combined. As Shubao's nephew, he should be able to reconcile the balance between the two, right?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but have the idea of ​​using "He Zudao" to balance the power of Changsun Wuji, Fang, and Du Erxiang in the court.

After making up his mind, Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson empress, and tentatively said, "Lizhi is the eldest daughter of your husband and I. I wonder what the empress thinks about her life-long events?"

Seeing Li Shimin mentioning Li Lizhi's marriage contract, Empress Changsun turned her almond eyes slightly, thinking, "Could it be that the Holy Majesty intends to betroth Lizhi to "He Zudao"?" If you get angry, Fang Jun's head may be in danger!"

Thinking carefully about the pros and cons, Empress Changsun pretended to smile and said loudly, "This matter is related to the balance of the court and China. Changsun Chong is a concubine and nephew. This matter should be decided by the Holy Majesty."

Facing Empress Changsun's false response, Li Shimin mistakenly thought that she was avoiding suspicion, Tang Taizong, who was quite afraid of the harem meddling in politics, smiled loudly, and said: "Okay! If He Zudao can win the top prize in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I will order him and Lizhi chooses a date to get married!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Empress Changsun to respond, Li Shimin continued: "Why do you want to come here? You are just Qin Qiong's nephew. Even if you win the number one prize, you won't have much foundation among the ministers of the literary class, right? If this is the case, you can think about it. .”

As soon as this remark came out, Empress Changsun's face changed when she heard it, and the worried expression on her brows disappeared instantly.

"There is no foundation in the literary class? Fang Jun is Fang Xuanling's second son. Who can compare with this kind of foundation in the dynasty? If he wins the gold list, he will not be far away from getting rid of his alias!"

Just when Empress Changsun was secretly speechless, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of Fang Xuanling who was sick at home.

Although Li Shimin never left the palace, there were as many spies and eyeliners under the emperor's feet. How could he not know such a major matter concerning the face of the royal family?

"Empress, didn't you say before that Shu'er's Shou Gongsha is still there? How come the gossip about "Princess Gaoyang's adultery with a monk" has spread in the city of Chang'an in the past few days? I heard that the news was spread by Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui out?"

"I think it must be Xiao Rui, that dog who is holding a grudge, and someone who slandered Shu'er and Fang Jun, right?"

While thinking about it, Li Shimin sighed lightly, thinking of Fang Xuanling's hard work for the community day and night, and said, "Let Fang Jun return to Chang'an after a while! Then let Shu'er join him in the palace, and I will send Luanjia again." Sending the two of them back to the Fangfu in a good and good manner, it should be able to stop everyone's mouth, right?"

Knowing that Li Shimin wanted Fang Jun to return to Chang'an, Empress Changsun's heart trembled slightly, and Lian Sheng said, "Did your Majesty say that he will be severely punished a few days ago?"

Seeing Empress Changsun's puzzled face, Li Shimin waved his sleeves lightly, and said helplessly: "Hey! Although Fang Jun misbehaved after being drunk, he did not do anything rude after all. Right now Xiao Rui is slandering the Fang family. Just settle the account twice!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin stretched out his hand to hold Empress Changsun's palm, and whispered, "No matter how you say it, I have to worry about the face of this old in-law, Xuanling!"

Knowing Li Shimin's thoughts, Empress Changsun nodded yes, and thought to herself, "As long as the palace examination is over, it doesn't matter whether Fang Jun wants to come back or not!"

After the two sat in front of the charcoal fire and embraced each other for a while, Li Shimin got up and walked slowly towards the couch, but halfway there, he found "Swordsman" written by Fang Yiai on the desk.

"Huh? Which princess's handwriting is this? It's so fresh and refined, it's a bit of everyone's demeanor!"

With that said, Li Shimin strode to the desk, reached out and picked up Fang Yiai's handwriting paper.

After holding the paper in his hand and looking at it for a while, Li Shimin stroked his beard and said to himself in amazement, "Huh? Who is Linghu Chong? Who is Tian Boguang? When you see a nun, you will lose every bet? What a mess!"

Although he said belittling words, Li Shimin's face showed great interest. After watching for a while, he simply sat down in front of the desk and began to read carefully.

Seeing Li Shimin sitting in front of the desk, watching "Swordsman" with great interest, Empress Changsun's eyebrows were clustered, and her heart was full of melancholy.

"If the sage knows Fang Jun's alias identity, and Longyan is angry, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and disasters and fortunes are really unpredictable!"
