Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Li Jinghui returned to King Qi, and Li Jinghe returned to King Jing...

When the empress dowager was furious and made a thorough investigation of the palace, the game that Emperor Liang had set up many years ago to prevent it from happening was broken, and Tianjing had already lost the most important trump card to hold back the two anti-kings.

The most frightening thing is not that King Qi and King Jing will no longer have scruples, but that the two princes have fled Beijing one after another, and one of them even escaped from the palace, which shows that Jingzhong is no longer an iron bucket.

In other words, someone had already become a traitor and traitor who cooperated with the inside and outside, and then "stealed" Wang Shizi under the eyes of the Queen Mother.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of turmoil in Beijing, and because of this incident, there was a bloody atmosphere in the palace. If Master Wu Jue was not still by His Majesty's side and dissuaded the Queen Mother, this turmoil would continue to expand.

But in private, the impact of this series of incidents did not stop there. Everyone was suspicious of each other in private, and everyone seemed to be a traitor with internal and external enemies, so people panicked.

And at this time, the involvement is huge, if there is any disturbance, it may cause a catastrophe of extermination. In addition to being suspicious of each other, the courtiers also have to be wary of political opponents taking this opportunity to retaliate and create something out of nothing.

Compared with the impetuous court, the palace is not peaceful.

All the princes are now serving illnesses in the palace, including the [-]th prince who returned to the capital with the Queen Mother's permission. As soon as he arrived in the imperial city, he went to the Taiji Hall without stopping, and he stopped for a whole day, but even the princes With such filial piety and sincerity, His Majesty's condition has not improved at all.

Apart from the Yuxiu Palace which seemed deserted due to Xianfei's childlessness, the Yifu Palace of the noble concubine, the Guixi Palace of the Shu concubine, and the Zhaohua Palace of the De concubine were all bustling at the moment.

The second prince stayed by his father's side during the day, and when he returned to Zhaohua Palace, Concubine De immediately ordered the palace servants to wash his hands and serve him meals.

Due to the sickness of the official family, the palace people are now like the monks in Huayin Temple, and they are all vegetarians. However, these people are used to being extravagant. I can't take it anymore.

Naturally, the rules of the imperial dining room cannot be changed, but each palace has its own countermeasures. The purpose of making meals is too big, so they cook soup occasionally.

The maid opened a white jade cup in front of the second prince, revealing the clear cabbage soup inside. Li Jingxun waved his hand, instead of taking the small spoon in her hand, he directly picked up the white jade cup and drank the soup inside.

Seeing him "drinking freely", Concubine De knew that he had stood in the Tai Chi Hall for a few more hours, and he must be very hungry.

"Go and get another cup." She told the palace servants while persuading Li Jingxun to eat more slowly.

The soup looks clear and watery, with only two pieces of cabbage hearts floating, but in fact, chicken, duck, ham, ribs, scallops and other ingredients are mixed into the boiling pot separately, and cooking wine, onion and garlic are added to boil for at least two hours, during which time The impurities are sucked out, so that the slightly turbid soup in the pot is as clear and clear as clear water. Just opening the lid of the cup will overflow with fragrance and make people salivate.

After Li Jingxun had his meal, he finally regained some energy. Last night, several adult princes did not leave the palace until the third quarter of the ugly hour. Today, they entered the palace again at dawn and stood there from noon until now.

His Majesty is unconscious, and there are imperial doctors and servants by his side, so there are not many things that the princes really need to do by themselves.

But it is not an easy task to just stand there to show one's concern, but also to maintain the prince's demeanor at all times, and it is even more difficult than handling official affairs in the court.

After waving away the palace people, Concubine De asked the second prince, "How is your majesty doing?" This has become a question she must ask every time she sees the second prince for more than a month.

"It's still the same, there is no deterioration, but there is no reaction. The imperial doctor said that if the situation improves, the father may wake up at any time, but if..." The imperial doctor did not dare to continue, and Li Jingxun himself was also unhappy. Dare to say.

After getting the same answer again, Concubine De didn't know if she was relieved, or if she was so numb that she couldn't feel anything anymore.

"I heard that there is another round of chaos today?"

Li Jingxun nodded: "Father is always not sober, and there is no decision on things. The king is old and his spirit is always a little weak. Those courtiers insist on their own opinions and make endless noise... There are very few commanders in the court. If this continues, Beijing Daying Not to mention Prince Qi's opponent, let alone Prince Jing watching over him."

Because the four realms of Liangzhou have always been controlled by princes or county kings, even if generals can go to the front line to practice, it can only be achieved through the cooperation of the guarding princes.

Therefore, most of the military generals who have been honed on the border are usually very close to the prince, and some are even deputy generals promoted by the prince.

Now they don't have soldiers in Beijing, they only have the rank of Wu Sanguan, but the imperial court dare not let them lead troops at this time, for fear that they will go to the enemy's camp if they lead them.

Although King Qi's son returned to King Qi, King Qi did not attack the capital in one go.

He also seemed to have seen Prince Jing's plan, and he was not going to use his hard work to go head-to-head with the elite of Beijing Daying.

In addition, the "Sky Thunder" in his hand was not much left, and he would use it on the blade, so he didn't continue to advance at full speed.

This finally gave Jingzhong a chance to breathe.

"How did the prince Jing escape from the palace, and how did the prince Qi come back to life... The queen mother turned the harem upside down, arrested and killed so many people, and so far only got an ambiguous answer , is really heart-wrenching.”

Concubine De still felt a little palpitating when she thought of the bloody storm in the harem these two days.

The Empress Dowager has devoted herself to worshiping Buddha for more than ten years, and she has a benevolent appearance. Now she is killing people in anger, which reminds people that this woman also experienced the protracted chaos of the seven kings fighting for the heir apparent during the late emperor's time.

"Some people try to have both ways, and from now on, they are ready to leave a way for themselves..."

Li Jingxun sneered and said, "I don't care whether I still have the life to wait for King Jing or King Qi in his heart."

He thought of something, and frowned: "Leaving aside the matter of Li Jinghe, there is someone who can help Li Jinghui escape by feigning death. This person is in Beijing, and his status and methods are probably unusual..."

Hearing his analysis, Concubine De's heart skipped a beat: "Who could have such a great ability?"

"How many people are there in the capital who have a relationship with the prince and have the strength to do this?"

"You mean... Wang Xiang?" Concubine De blurted out, but immediately shook her head, denying her subconscious guess.

The royal family of Anshun has always been pure ministers, only obeying the orders of the sage, even if the competition among the seven kings intensified back then, the prime minister never favored any prince.This time, Wang Xianghui abandoned the official family and secretly supported the "rebellious officials and thieves".

Li Jingxun looked gloomyly at the ground, but did not refute Concubine De's guess.

Wang Xiang has gone through two dynasties. During the first emperor's time, he used to be the teacher of the princes. He took Wang Shizi as a hostage in Beijing, and the nephews of Wang Xiang's family also had frequent contacts with Wang Shizi under the instruction of His Majesty.

To put it bluntly, whether it was His Majesty, King Jing, King Qi, or even the dead Kings You and Su became emperors, Wang Xiang was once the emperor's teacher.

Although he may not be able to reach out in the palace, but when people go out from the palace and leave Tianjing, there must be people outside the palace to support them.

No wonder Li Jingxun thought too much, the General Zuo Jinwu Guard who was in charge of the palace and the security of the capital was the husband-in-law of Wang Xiang's eldest daughter!

Seeing Li Jingxun's expression, Concubine De still couldn't believe it: "The Wang family is deeply trusted by His Majesty, how could it be possible..."

"If you have won His Majesty's trust, you won't change your mind. Then look at the veterans recalled by the emperor a few years ago, how are they now?"

After hearing this, Concubine De went through the old ministers recalled by His Majesty to Tianjing in her mind, and found that there are not many left who have returned to their original form and stayed here safely!

"Zhuang Shunyuan of Yushitai offended many dignitaries before begging for bones. At that time, he was trusted and loved by His Majesty. How is he now?"

Li Jingxun also wanted to put him under his command, but unfortunately the other party's attitude was "tough", and he even told His Majesty the matter of looking for him in private, which accelerated his fall from favor.

The pure minister who originally thought that he was showing his feet in the matter of Lin Yanhong, Li Jingxun would not believe that there was no one behind him.

In order to prevent Yushitai from getting out of his control, His Majesty sent Wang Lushen from the Wang family in as his eyeliner, which means that he no longer trusts Zhuang Shunyuan, the imperial envoy.

——Censor Zhongcheng Zhuang Shunyuan, who was famous for his upright and fearless character, could change his loyalty. Who can guarantee that the Wang family will always be loyal to His Majesty?

"The person who helped Li Jinghe and Li Jinghui leave the capital may not really want to support King Qi and King Jing's rebellion, but he must have his own selfish intentions, and he wants to leave a way for himself or his family...not just Wang Xiang , all civil and military ministers in Beijing are suspected."

Concubine De saw that Li Jingxun had suspected everyone, and she couldn't help persuading: "If you think this way, isn't the capital in danger."

"Isn't there a crisis now?" Li Jingxun said to Concubine De: "Let Grandpa and Uncle prepare early, if... we must not sit still this time!"

——At that moment, the only truth is to strike first, and to avoid repeating the same mistakes, one must plan ahead——His younger brothers are not easy-going lamps!

Upon hearing this, Concubine De immediately nodded with a serious expression.

……

Coming out of Concubine De's Zhaohua Palace, Li Jingxun hurried back to Emperor Liang's bedroom. The third prince, fifth prince and other adult princes also "gathered" together at about the same time.

Even the fifteenth prince, who had just learned to walk steadily, was carefully led by the palace staff to the Wuji Palace to "serve the sick".

Behind was the square that was still dimly illuminated by the palace lanterns. Ten brothers stepped into the palace gate, staring at each other without saying a word.They had their own plans in their hearts, and their eyes never crossed each other.

Although the first emperor was good at martial arts, he actually had a mild personality, which is why he was indecisive about establishing a crown prince.

Their father, the emperor, also hesitated to make a decision on the establishment of the crown prince, but it was because of his suspicious nature.

In Emperor Liang's view, each prince should have his own advantages, but also have disadvantages that cannot be ignored.

The perfect heir in his mind never appears, and he is not yet old enough to have to choose, so he always wants to wait a little longer to see how far they can grow.

He doesn't even prevent the princes from fighting openly and secretly - because only the strongest can win in this battle.

It's just that now God doesn't seem to intend to give him this opportunity to choose slowly, but his sons have been raised with unrestrained desires and are no longer out of control.

When they walked into the dormitory, they first saw the room full of imperial doctors, and then they turned their eyes to Master Wujue who was sitting beside him with a bead in his hand, and saluted him together.

Master Wujue is not only the eminent monk of Huayin Temple, but also the brother of the late emperor, that is, their emperor's uncle. Even if the princes can't call him that way now, the respect he deserves is indispensable.

Li Jingxun thought that as the longest prince, he should care more about the elders, so he took the initiative to go forward, cupped his hands and said to Master Wujue: "Master, please take care of your body. When Father wakes up, if you see Master is so tired, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money." blame us."

Master Wu Jue said "Amitabha", but he didn't intend to continue talking with him. He still sat there speechless, his lips moved slightly, as if he was chanting sutras.

Received such a cold response, Li Jingxun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, he didn't even need to turn his head to know that his younger brothers were silently laughing at him, but Li Jingxun couldn't lose his temper with the emperor's uncle, so he could only walk away embarrassingly, and stood beside him .

Except for the Fifth and Ninth Princes, who had a mother and compatriots, who looked at each other, the rest of the princes continued to stand in their respective positions without any communication.

If it weren't for the imperial doctor coming up to ask His Majesty for pulse every once in a while, and some palace people would bring the soup and medicine made by the imperial doctor during the period, the appearance of this hall would be no different from that of a funeral.

When everyone didn't notice, the emperor's fingers on the bed were slightly bent, and Master Wujue, who was sitting not far away, stopped chanting and slowly opened his eyes.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The news about Prince Jing's son Li Jinghe and Qi Prince's son Li Jinghui was reported to Pingwu and Xicang a few days later.

These two "miraculous events" caused an uproar in Beijing, but the impact on Prince Yu's Mansion was really limited, especially in His Highness's place. He didn't know these two cousins ​​whose names resembled his own and his elder brother's at all.

Compared to the empty Xicangqi Palace, Nanchongjing Palace, and the Zhenyuan Huiwang Palace, where everyone is panicking, the Yuwang Palace in Pingwu County Mansion is as quiet and peaceful as usual even though the two male masters are not there. , everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Her husband is defending against the enemy in Nanling, and the eldest son and his Lin Changshi are guarding the border in Xicang. Although Princess Yu Ulan Tuya is concerned, she also knows that worrying is useless.

If you have this "leisure mind" like Concubine Xu who is "sorrowful" and "doesn't think about eating and drinking", it's better to spend more time to take care of your youngest son, so that King Yu and Prince Yu's son don't have to worry about things in the palace when they go out.

His Royal Highness Li Jingxi is already one year old, he can sit and stand, occasionally move his calf to take two steps, and then fall into the arms of his mother and concubine, babbling a few words, looking very lively and active.

Since he was half a year old, his teeth started to grow sharp. First, he grew two lower front teeth, and then he grew two upper front teeth. His Highness has now grown eight small teeth. His smile is airtight, and he looks very imposing!

Probably because he loves to show off when he has "tools", so he has become very fond of biting things.

During the Catch Zhou banquet, he just grabbed his father's private seal and stuffed it into his mouth. Fortunately, His Highness's elder brother has quick eyesight and quick hands, even if he prevented him from making the next move, otherwise His Highness might be caught and spanked by his concubine mother.

"Hong~Honghong~Hoo~"

Wulan Tuya looked at Li Jingxi holding the tiger puppet with his chubby hands, biting it in his mouth as he fiddled with it, making sounds like "boom boom boom" from time to time. The worried heart softened instantly.

The Zhiyi cub squatted next to the main body, tilting its head to see Li Jingxi biting the puppet so happily. It saw the black and white puppet on the bed, and felt that the color was very familiar, so it scratched it with its small paws. On myself, it seems like I am playing with myself, and I will not feel bored.

Wulan Tuya smiled and kissed Jing Xi who was sitting on the bed in a small brocade suit, tugged at the tiger puppet he was biting, and asked knowingly, "Jing Xi told mother and concubine, what is this?"

The little guy was kissed by his mother, he shrugged his little shoulders happily, and immediately answered her cheerfully: "Hong~Hong~"

——Zhiyi Cub is the father and himself, the big wolf cub is the concubine mother, the little wolf cub is the elder brother, and Meow is Hong!

Sure enough, Ulan Tuya wanted to "lure" him to talk more, so he pointed at the dolls around him. His Highness never tires of this kind of interaction, and he readily introduced them to his mother and concubine for the hundredth time.

Wulan Tuya looked at her youngest son, and couldn't help but think of her eldest son when he was young.

Probably because of the connection between mother and child, even though Jing Cheng was still in the form of his ancestor's returning soul at that time, Wulan Tuya still felt that he could understand his own words.

Whenever Wulan Tuya softly sang the songs on the grassland, the little wolf cubs who usually jump up and down lively must be in a ball, nestling quietly in her arms, listening to her humming obediently.

If she couldn't help crying, the little wolf cub would stand up and stretch his neck to lick her tears.

But after all, he couldn't "talk" to her like Jingxi answered her, telling her his emotions.

I have been worrying for many years, for fear that something might happen that would prevent Jing Cheng from growing up smoothly, and Wulan Tuya was depressed because of this, and her health has always been poor.

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would grow as tall as his father, able to lead troops outside alone, guard one side, and protect his family.

Regarding Jing Cheng, Wulan Tuya actually has a lot of regrets, but she doesn't think that she can make up for it by spending more time on Jing Xi - because regrets are regrets, and they are never irreparable.

The only thing she can be thankful for is that after going through those long and lonely years, her own Jing Cheng finally met someone who can gently accompany him by his side and accompany him on the next journey.

I'm afraid the only fly in the ointment is that the current situation is unstable, making it impossible for their family to reunite, they can only be separated by a few places, and love each other in a few places.

It is strange to say that in this world, some people still miss each other even after they are separated; some people are still inseparable even though they stay together day and night for years and years.

"Jingxi, do you miss Brother Hong and Brother Hong?" Although she was asking Jingxi, she couldn't stop missing her.

The little guy thought for a while, nodded obediently, and then immediately took the tiger puppet with his chubby hand and sent it to his mouth.

Wulan Tuya watched him bite the puppet until it was wet, and gently touched his head, but did not stop his movement, and even pushed the other puppet forward, giving him more choices Space.

——Her Jing Cheng has grown up, and her Jing Xi will surely grow up healthy and peaceful.

While Wulan Tuya was playing with her youngest son, her personal female officer Bai Lu walked in. Seeing that the princess was hugging His Royal Highness, she and Qing Lan looked at each other and whispered something in each other's ears.

After Bai Lu left for a while, Wulan Tuya suddenly asked, "What's wrong?"

Qing Lan stepped forward and replied: "Your Highness, Concubine Xu has sent someone to talk about the affairs of Beijing."

"She's very well informed..." Wulan Tuya patted his son's butt, telling him not to bite the silver bell on his wrist, because it was harder and could easily hurt his teeth.

"Her father is Zhongshuling. Now that King Qi and Prince Jing are bound to win Beijing, she should be worried."

After playing with his youngest son for a while, Wulan Tuya asked Qing Lan to call Bai Lu in, and said, "Go and call Concubine Xu, it's time to talk about it."

……

Concubine Xu and Princess Yu are the same age, only a month younger, and will be 35 years old in the next year, but she is well maintained, and if you don't look carefully, she even looks a bit girly.

When she came to Wulan Tuya's courtyard, although she didn't see many attendants, she knew that the elites around King Yu were probably guarding the concubine's courtyard at the moment.

Clutching the veil tightly in her hand, she walked into the house with her maid.

After saluting with Wulan Tuya, Concubine Xu didn't see Li Jingxi, so she asked in a warm voice about the situation of His Highness.

"Just played for a while, and now he looks a little tired. I asked Qinglan to take him to sleep for a while, so as not to lose energy when it's time to eat."

Concubine Xu nodded, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "For a child of this age, eating and sleeping are the most important things."

She said it naturally, as if she had raised children, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Wulan Tuya looking at her quietly and not answering, Concubine Xu's smile slowly disappeared, and a miserable expression appeared on her face: "Sister, the capital is already in such a mess, why doesn't your highness enter the capital?" King Qin?"

"This is an outside matter and has nothing to do with us women and children. If you ask why, I can't answer it."

"I know that it is not good for us to divide the troops, but if King Qi and King Jing invade the capital, then..."

Wulan Tuya sternly stopped her from continuing: "Since you are from my Prince Yu's Mansion, you should know the principle of being cautious in your words and deeds. Why do you say such outrageous things?"

But Concubine Xu made up her mind to "not vomit or complain", so she continued: "It is true that my father and brother are both in Beijing, so I am very concerned about it. But my wish for His Highness to send troops is not entirely out of selfishness. My father is here." The letter said that because of the escape of the Prince Wang, the princes and the prime minister are now beginning to doubt. It can be seen that they have a heart, and they may not have forgotten that I, Prince Yu's Mansion, did not defend Tianjing immediately. I'm afraid they won't treat our Prince Yu's mansion the same as before."

"Whether His Majesty will treat us as before, only His Majesty knows..."

Wulan Tuya originally thought that Zhongshu Ling just asked her daughter to ask for help from Prince Yu's Mansion, but she didn't expect the other party to be so bold and straightforward. Instead of being angry, she smiled and asked the other party, "What do you mean by saying this?"

"Your Highness is the late emperor's own son, with a literary and martial arts strategy. Compared with the other princes, he should be more qualified to inherit the great line."

Concubine Xu was contrary to her usual weakness, she said these words firmly, her face was determined.

But Wulan Tuya only felt that this woman was absolutely ridiculous.

"I see that you are too anxious and confused. Do you know what you are talking about?" Wulan Tuya waved her hand to stop her from speaking: "I wanted to tell you about Zhongshu Ling, but I didn't expect you to hold this Waiting for dangerous thoughts, it seems that there is no point in continuing to talk, you go back to your own yard, and you can't come out without my permission."

This is what it means to ground Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu lowered her head and murmured after a while: "How does the princess know that His Highness is waiting for someone to give him a step down?"

Wulan Tuya understood what Concubine Xu meant. She wanted to say that maybe Li Qiyu had the same thoughts as King Qi and Prince Jing in his heart, but he couldn't put them into action due to various reasons.

Now the timing is just right, as long as someone surrounds His Royal Highness Yu Wang and gives him a reason to send troops, then His Royal Highness Yu Wang can also use the title of "Qing Jun's side" to go to Beijing to get a share of the pie, and may even replace him.

Just when Wulan Tuya was silent and Concubine Xu was about to say something more, a thick male voice familiar to everyone rang out from the door.

I saw King Yu striding into the door, and said as he walked: "Wangfei naturally knows what I think in my heart, you go back to your own courtyard now, and you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard without Wangfei's permission."

Everyone saluted one after another and said in unison: "Your Highness."

Seeing Li Qiyu suddenly returning to the county mansion, Wulan Tuya felt a little uneasy. She hurried forward and asked "what's the matter" with her eyes.

Li Qiyu lightly patted the hand she was helping, and replied softly: "It's okay."

Seeing Concubine Xu standing aside, he said in a more stern tone: "What are you doing here? Since you are so free and concerned about His Majesty's well-being, then go back to your yard, copy some Buddhist scriptures, and send them to Ci'an Palace." Go show your filial piety... If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame someone to cover your mouth."

A few years ago, Concubine Xu had just come to Pingwu with His Majesty's "hope". She originally thought that sooner or later, mothers would be more expensive than their children, and they would fight against Princess Yong. Don't say get close to her.

The days of staying alone in the empty boudoir lasted for more than a year, and Concubine Xu couldn't stand it, but King Yu was either in Nanling, or in the study of the palace, and she had the reserve of a daughter of an aristocratic family, so she couldn't rush forward regardless , So I thought of a roundabout way.

She worked hard for several months before the queen mother's birthday, and copied a full 49 copies, which were later sent to Beijing and presented to the queen mother through her mother.

The queen mother was really happy, and soon remembered that she was the side concubine of King Yu, so she specially asked King Yu to ask him to get closer to side concubine Xu, so that he could get the heir as soon as possible.

The empress dowager's verbal instructions to King Yu accepted all the orders, but after that, he still went his own way. If he should treat Concubine Xu as air, he should still treat her as air.

When he mentioned the Buddhist scriptures now, he was obviously mocking Concubine Xu.

When Concubine Xu heard the words, her face blushed with embarrassment and embarrassment. She lowered her eyes to prevent her embarrassment, resentment and sadness from being shown in front of Li Qiyu and Wulan Tuya.

……

After Concubine Xu left, Wulan Tuya immediately held Li Qiyu's arm and asked anxiously, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

After the Northern Territory Army divided its troops to the Western Regions, the situation in Nanling was naturally more tense.

If it wasn't an extremely important time before, for example, when an angel came to Beijing to take away Prince Yu's son and His Royal Highness, Li Qiyu would have stayed in Nanling directly.

His sudden return to the county mansion made Ulan Tuya a little nervous, not knowing what happened again.

Li Qiyu held her hand and comforted her: "Jing Cheng and Hong Xiu are not in the mansion, I'll come back to see you and Jing Xi."

Wulan Tuya looked at Li Qiyu suspiciously: "Are you hiding something from me?"

In the past 20 years, His Royal Highness King Yu used her body as an excuse many times to tell some "white" lies, or to conceal them, which made Ulan Tuya helpless.

"Don't worry, if something happens, I will tell you first, so I can prepare early." He looked in the direction of the inner room, and then asked, "Where's Jingxi?"

Wulan Tuya didn't notice that King Yu was using Jingxi's topic to divert her attention, and immediately replied: "I fell asleep inside, I don't know if I fell asleep honestly."

When Concubine Xu came, she did see that Jingxi had been playing for a while, and was afraid that he would be tired, so she asked Qing Lan to lay him down for a while.

It is said that Zhizi Mo Ruomu, when King Yu and Princess Wang entered the inner room, they walked to the bed carefully and lightly, and saw His Highness looking at them with big black eyes, not sleeping at all. mean.

"Jingxi, let's see who's back?" Ulan Tuya asked gently.

When Li Jingxi saw King Yu, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into crescents, and a childish but firm word "Father" popped out of his small mouth, which made him so rare.

Even Yu Wang, who is usually unsmiling, couldn't help reaching out to hug him, let Li Jingxi sit in his arms, and led him around the room.

The little guy likes his mother and concubine Lin Yanhong to hug him, because they are gentle and will coax and pamper him with loving expressions.

But he also likes hugging by his father and elder brother very much, because Li Qiyu and Li Jingcheng are tall, and sitting in their arms has always had a good view, which makes Xiaodouding feel like he is already so tall.

The husband and wife spent a wonderful evening with their children. King Yu asked the princess and the youngest son to rest earlier, while he prepared to return home.

When he returned to his study, Li Qiyu asked Ying Wei, "When can Jing Cheng arrive?"

"If you meet His Highness, His Highness Shizi should arrive at the county mansion soon."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong got the news from Jingzhong about Wang Shizi's escape from Tianjing and the message from King Yu, but it was a matter of succession.

The news that King Jing's son had escaped from the palace obviously surprised them, not to mention the news that Prince Qi's son was still alive and returned to King Qi's side after feigning death, which was unprecedented.

They even once suspected that this was fake news from Prince Qi and Prince Jing in order to stabilize their respective military morale.

But such an idea is just an idea after all, and the news that the Shadow Guard of Prince Yu's Mansion also sent back, there may be something wrong.

However, this is nothing compared to King Yu's message to let Li Jingcheng return to Pingwu temporarily, which surprised Lin Yanhong and Li Jingcheng.

"Father said in a message that if Li Jingshu's situation permits, let him stay in Xicang temporarily, and let me prepare to return to Pingwu first."

Pingwu was originally guarded by King Yu himself. Now that Li Jingcheng is called back, it means that King Yu will leave Pingwu temporarily. Even if King Yu doesn't say anything, his destination is clear at a glance.

"Father is going to Tianjing... It seems that His Majesty has already..." Li Jingcheng hadn't finished speaking, but Lin Yanhong could fully guess what he was going to say.

In order to prevent Xicang from being invaded by monsters, King Yu had to divide his troops, but he still has no intention of going to King Jingqin, but suddenly said that he would go to Tianjing—except for His Majesty, who can no longer do it, and King Yu needs to see For the last time with the elder brother, there is nothing else to think about.

"It should be Master Wu Jue who told His Highness the news."

Grandmaster Wujue is accompanying His Majesty in the palace right now, so Grandmaster knows best what is going on today.

King Yu was about to leave Pingwu, and there was only Xiao Jingxi left, a royal family with soul manifestation. He was too young, and the power of soul manifestation was still a barbarian cub, and he did not have the ability to deter demons.

At any rate, there is an adult Li Jingshu in Xicang. It is true that he suffers from eye problems, but he also helped Xicang to survive for a while with the power of his soul.

Now that the situation is urgent, Li Qiyu can only ask Li Jingcheng to return to Pingwu first, and then let Li Jingshu continue to support Xicang like at the beginning until King Yu returned from Beijing and replaced him with the son of King Yu.

"Father's trip to and from Beijing, plus dealing with various matters, is estimated to be half a month short, or more than a month long. He doesn't know your situation, so he should come back as soon as possible."

Lin Yanhong also has the soul of the ancestors, and after a gradual experiment in Xicang during this period, it has been proved that he also has a deterrent effect on demons. Effective" sort of.

It was precisely because Lin Yanhong and Li Jingcheng were in Xicang that the situation in Xicang stabilized earlier than King Yu expected. This was definitely a surprise to them.

King Yu didn't know that this was Lin Yanhong's role, and he only thought that Li Jingshu, the royal family, was "competent" and had good strength, but he didn't know that Xicang had two ancestors who had returned souls and a descendant of the royal family, which was actually more stable than Pingwu.

"When you return to Pingwu this time, just mention my matter to His Highness, so that His Highness can rest assured, and you won't lose your caution in order to rush back."

As a commoner, Lin Yanhong has the soul of the ancestors that only the royal family has. The problems involved in this matter are too serious, so from the beginning, Li Jingcheng chose to temporarily hide it from his father, in order to prevent Lin Yanhong from being hurt by the unknown. .

But as the family gradually got along, they developed a deeper relationship with each other. Lin Yanhong felt that nothing could compare to the safety of the family.

——Since King Yu was able to accept that Li Jingcheng gave up the position of heir and chose to be with him for Li Jingcheng's good, it shouldn't be a big deal to tell King Yu about the ancestor's return.

After listening to Lin Yanhong's words, Li Jingcheng nodded after thinking for a while, "I will mention this to my father."

"His Royal Highness is going to the capital, and there must be no one around. At that time, the princess will definitely ask Yu Wang to bring the elite of the palace. You don't need to keep too many shadow guards by my side, just take them back together."

Fearing that Li Jingcheng would disagree, Lin Yanhong persuaded: "Don't think that there are only people in Beijing, but there are things more terrifying than demons."

King Qi led his troops to leave Xicang, which has been controlled by the northern border army. In Lin Yanhong's view, it may be safer than Beijing.

Hearing Lin Yanhong's promise to take good care of himself, Li Jingcheng secretly arranged and deployed the troops of the Northern Border Army staying in Xicang, and returned to Pingwu with the shadow guards of the Wangfu who passed on the message.

While continuing to deal with the affairs of Xicang, Lin Yanhong appeared on the western border with Li Jingcheng's double.

Neither the northern army nor the local people, nor the soldiers who were left in Xicang by King Qi at the beginning, did not notice the change of the demons. It was only when King Yu's son was still in Xicang, but Lin Changshi occasionally went to the front line. .

……

Li Jingcheng returned to Pingwu soon, and saw his father who was ready to go.

He explained to his father what he said after discussing with Lin Yanhong, omitting some details. He only said that Lin Yanhong also has a soul, which has a deterrent effect on the demons in Xichang, so even if Li Jingcheng has left there, the situation in Xicang should be the same. There will be no sudden change.

"I don't know how long it will take me to go to Beijing. No matter what the result is, I will definitely come back as soon as possible. The things in Xicang are hard work, Hongxiu, the mansion, especially your mother and concubine and Jingxi, please leave it to you .”

"Father, don't worry, we will not relax."
