Chapter 93 Princess Yuzhen's Premonition

Chapter 101 Princess Yuzhen's Premonition
"Forget it, old man, this prince's matter really bothers me." Li Longji waved his hand wearily, "Go to the East Palace and pass on my oral order, saying that I will allow him to worship his wife as his mother... I hope His words and deeds are consistent, in the future if he is disrespectful or inappropriate to the imperial concubine, I will never forgive him."

"No. Rest assured, everyone knows that the crown prince is benevolent and filial. Besides, the crown prince's biological mother, Concubine Yang, has passed away many years ago. The crown prince will definitely deserve her name when she recognizes the concubine concubine as his mother."

Gao Lishi smiled respectfully, "Everyone, this old servant will go to the Eastern Palace to deliver His Majesty's instructions."

"Let Li Jingzhong go—old thing, I am old, and you are also dying, and you should also consider cultivating a reliable successor. From now on, let the following people do the chores of going out of the palace to run errands to announce the decree. "

Hearing the emperor's pity and sympathy for him, Gao Lishi was so moved that he burst into tears and knelt down on the ground with a thud, "I thank the emperor for your kindness. Your Majesty's favor to this old slave is hard to repay even if I die. How dare I slack off?"

"You old thing, don't be nervous. Get up, you have followed me for decades, I can't trust others, how can I not trust you?"

……

……

East Palace.

Prince Li Heng was circling in the study anxiously, fidgeting.He knew that Yang Yuhuan had gone to the imperial study to seek Li Longji's request to admit his mother-whether the emperor would allow this was crucial for him to keep the crown prince, and he had been anxiously waiting for news from Yang Yuhuan.

Xiao Shisanlang was dressed as a bodyguard and stood silently on one side. Seeing Li Heng turning around, he couldn't help but smiled softly, "Please be safe, Your Highness, news from the palace will definitely come... My brother is reliable in his work. , His Highness just wait with peace of mind."

Xiao Shisanlang is not a real guard, not a servant of his East Palace, and entering the palace for personal protection at this moment is just a foreshadowing planted by Zhang Xuan just in case.Therefore, Li Heng respected Xiao Shisanlang, a chivalrous man with miraculous martial arts and noble character.

"Brother Xiao's words are very true. I can't hold my breath, but Brother Xiao laughed."

"Your Highness is calling a certain Shisanlang." Xiao Shisanlang smiled slightly, "Your Highness is relieved. The certain family and brothers have passed the news, and the current situation is quite beneficial to His Highness. Yang Guozhong has agreed to support His Highness, and as long as the noble concubine With success here, His Highness's position as the heir apparent will be assured."

"Hey..." Li Heng sat down on his ass and let out a long breath, "If there is no Zizhan, this palace will not be spared this time. Shisanlang, I will thank you for your efforts today if you come to the Japanese palace. Great kindness and great virtue to help each other. If Thirteenth Lang is willing to be an official or a general, this palace can manage one or two..."

"Your Highness, you're being polite. Xiao is a wild crane, he can't be restrained, and he can't be an errand for the court." Xiao Shisanlang smiled, "Xiao will stay with my brother in the next few years and protect him well. If His Highness has something to do , once summoned, Thirteenth Lang will not refuse."

After being in contact with Li Heng for the past few days, Xiao Shisanlang found that he is not bad.Although a bit cowardly, he has a tolerant heart and pays attention to virtue. If he ascends the throne in the future, it will be a blessing to all people.

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw Yu Chaoen, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace leading a young eunuch, hurried in and bowed to Li Heng, "Your Highness, Zhang Defu next to the imperial concubine has something to report."

Li Heng was overjoyed, and just about to speak, he heard Xiao Shisanlang coughed softly.

Li Heng came to his senses, waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "Yu Chaoen, step back."

"Here." Yu Chaoen took the order, but glanced suspiciously and gloomyly at the figure of Xiao Shisanlang standing in the shadow, wondering in his heart: Who is this person?The past few days have not left the prince's side day and night, as if...

Yu Chaoen was secretly looking at Xiao Shisanlang, but when he saw Xiao Shisanlang's awe-inspiring gaze with a hint of murderous intent, he felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.

"Little Zhang Defu, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Majesty asked the little one to come over and tell His Highness that your Majesty will drive out of the palace to Yuzhen Temple tomorrow, and let His Highness accompany you." Zhang Defu bowed back.

Li Heng's brows were filled with joy, and he was relieved. Thousands of burdens were finally lifted, and he could finally sleep peacefully tonight.

……

……

The next morning.

Yang Yuhuan's grand ceremonial chariot left the palace and went straight to Yuzhen Temple.

The news that Concubine Yang would come to Yuzhen Temple to stay for a few days had already been reported to Princess Yuzhen in advance. Although Princess Yuzhen was in a bad mood recently because of Cui Ying's affairs, she still had to come out of the temple to greet her in person. .

However, Princess Yuzhen, who went out to meet Yang Yuhuan, found a person who should not appear in the mighty guard of honor of the imperial concubine: Prince Li Heng.

With a calm expression and a smile on his face, Li Heng rode a tall horse slowly beside Yang Yuhuan's chariot, chatting and laughing with Yang Yuhuan as if they were intimate.

Princess Yuzhen's complexion changed.

It's not that she hates Prince Li Heng, it's just that at this juncture, Li Heng suddenly appeared in public and walked with Yang Yuhuan, which made her feel a little weird.

Over the past few days, the whole Tang Dynasty, whether it was scholars, common people or royal dignitaries, all believed that Li Heng would be defeated in this imminent battle for the heir apparent, and it would be good if he could save his life.Princess Yuzhen is no exception.

but……

Princess Yuzhen raised her willow eyebrows, which were slender like a crescent moon, and her heart moved: Could it be that things have turned for the better?

While Princess Yuzhen was thinking about it, Yang Yuhuan's guard of honor had already approached.

Zhang Defu, a trusted eunuch next to Yang Yuhuan, stood at the foot of the chariot, and shouted loudly: "The imperial concubine is here, and everyone is waiting to avoid—"

Yang Yuhuan got out of the chariot with the support of several maids, and Princess Yuzhen concealed her suspicions, and came up with a few maids, and greeted her loudly, "Yuzhen welcomes your mother for being late, and please forgive me Then one."

"Sister Yuzhen, we sisters don't need to see each other like this. I'm bored living in the palace, so I want to come to Sister Yuzhen's Yuzhen Temple for a few days to entertain, but I want to bother my sister."

Yang Yuhuan smiled and went forward to grab Princess Yuzhen's hand without any airs, and then glanced back at Prince Li Heng.

"Heng'er pays homage to Aunt Yuzhen." Li Heng smiled, and also went forward to pay respects.

Although Li Heng, the crown prince, has his name, he is still the reigning prince after all. Although Yu Zhen is an elder, he cannot receive such a great gift from Li Heng.She avoided it for a while, waved her hands and said, "The prince doesn't need to be too polite. The prince also came here with the empress, which surprised Yuzhen."

Before Li Heng could speak, Yang Yuhuan had already said, "Heng'er is worried about Bengong's health, and I heard that Bengong is going to come to sister Yuzhen, so I accompanied him... His filial piety, Bengong couldn't bear to refuse." .”

As soon as Yang Yuhuan uttered these words, Princess Yuzhen was taken aback, and her face suddenly became extremely strange.While walking with Yang Yuhuan, she looked deeply at Yang Yuhuan, and occasionally glanced back at Li Heng.

She is also a member of the royal family, with exquisite thoughts, how can she not understand what Yang Yuhuan means at this moment.It seems that the noble concubine came to her suddenly, and she said it was "pastime" for a few days, but she actually used this action to announce her relationship with Li Heng.

Princess Yuzhen's eyes were playful and weird, but Yang Yuhuan and Li Heng turned a blind eye and talked and laughed freely.

It wasn't until the living room sat down and the court ladies and servants were screened away, leaving only her own family, that Princess Yuzhen couldn't hold back her inner doubts, and took the initiative to ask a question.

I heard that the emperor has allowed Li Heng to worship Yang Yuhuan as his mother, and he will announce it to the world.Yuzhen immediately came to her senses, which meant that Prince Li Heng's position as the crown prince was preserved, and Yang Yuhuan's move also meant that she was thinking about the second half of the emperor's life after a hundred years. Once the Yang family and the prince were united, Yang Yuhuan With the wholehearted support behind him, Li Heng's position is stable.

It's really like a stroke of God.Li Heng's recognition of Yang Yuhuan as his mother this time is aimed at Yang Yuhuan's weakness of having no heirs and worrying about being helpless for the rest of his life-even if Yang Yuhuan knows that Li Heng is just a temporary hug, he can't help but accept it with a smile.

Thinking of this, Princess Yuzhen was shocked, and couldn't help turning her head to stare deeply at Prince Li Heng. She felt that she had underestimated this prince before. In a critical moment, how could he have such courage, courage and strategy?

"The name of the prince's benevolence and filial piety is indeed well-deserved. Now the prince and the empress are in harmony with each other, which is really enviable... Yuzhen is here, so congratulations to the prince and the empress."

Li Heng's face turned red slightly, he heard some teasing meaning in Princess Yuzhen's words, but pretended to be nonchalant.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Yuzhen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please see Yang." A maid came to report, and Princess Yuzhen smiled secretly when she heard the report, thinking that Yang Guozhong really came—it seems that this good scene is finally going to be staged, but Can Rong Wang Li Wan really stop from now on?
Yu Zhen was very suspicious.Rong Wang Li Wan has been planning for the position of the crown prince for several years, but this time he made a move, he must have the heart of breaking the boat.Even if Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan were openly on Li Heng's side, Li Wan might not back down, maybe he would take the risk.

Ruthless is the emperor's family.After decades of peace, the imperial power dispute of the Great Tang court finally kicked off again, and the city of Chang'an was about to fall into chaos.Although Princess Yuzhen had no expression on her face, she was full of emotions in her heart, causing thousands of waves.

********************************************
Seeing the prince entered Yuzhen Temple with Yang Yuhuan, Xiao Shisanlang stood outside the temple and smiled lightly, then flew away on the spot.The other guards of the Eastern Palace standing beside him felt their figures flash, and there was a gust of wind blowing from their ears and temples, and the mysterious guard who had been following the prince disappeared all the time.

The courtyard where Shisanlang Xiao and Li Susu lived.

While helping Zhang Xuan to "wrap" the wound, Li Susu wrapped layers of linen cloth around Zhang Xuan's arms and waist. Seeing the handsome young man in front of him wrapped into a "rice dumpling" by herself, Li Susu couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling. He said, "Brother Xuan, it's a good thing you came up with such a bad idea. If you say you want to appear, then go out, why do you have to make it like this?"
