Heaven and earth return to one

After entering the palace that day, Li Yunke was "stayed" in the palace by Li Yunshen, and told him to think behind closed doors.

It's funny to say that although Yin Zhan also said that he would be detained, he opened the door for him; he didn't want to go back to Yingzhong, but he was really detained.

That night, he had a poisoning again, and fell asleep in the middle of the night without anyone to take care of him. When he woke up the next day, he felt that his head was even heavier. The illness he brought back from the Huijia River still refused to heal.

Li Yunshen was probably in a bad mood, so Li Yunke had three meals in a row after being hungry, and then came to him again in the afternoon.

Li Yunke was dizzy and had to fight him hard, already feeling a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Yesterday I was not very calm, some words may have been harsh." Li Yunshen glanced at the top of his hair, and said, "You have made merit in going to Cang Xun, but now Cang Xun is too busy to take care of himself, I don't need to worry about him anymore, Forming an alliance is of no benefit to Chengning, so I can't remember any of your great achievements, but it is always appropriate to give you some rewards."

Li Yunke bowed his head and knelt in front of him, and said without any ups and downs, "Thank you, Brother Huang."

"This trip is not to say that it was a waste of effort, but it is almost the same, but your actions in the Huijia River area are indeed commendable. The people remember your kindness, and I will reward you." Li Yunshen paused at this point, Cai said, "Get up."

Li Yunke thanked him again, thinking about it, but couldn't stand up for a moment.

Li Yunshen showed surprise, "What's the matter? Little Baizi, hurry up and help the prince up."

Li Yunke's complexion was not good, and he was trembling. When he got up, he gave a deep bow to Li Yunshen, and said, "My brother knows that the emperor is wise, so he will never mistakenly believe the villain's slander. During the reign of the emperor, Cheng Ning was in love In the peaceful and prosperous times, the people live and work in peace and contentment, how could they have the idea of ​​treason? People who are not forced to a dead end, would not say such blatant words of death, and the rumors are unreasonable, how can the emperor think? Don't understand? Although I don't know who the person who made these remarks is, Brother Huang will probably find out soon, and then you have to ask carefully what his intentions are."

Li Yunshen listened to his superficially flattering but in fact accusing words, even though he was annoyed in his heart, he had to admit that it was true.When Li Yunke first arrived in Yingzhong, he put him under house arrest in the palace, firstly because he had already guarded against this person tightly, and secondly because he was so mad by the rumors.However, after calming down and thinking about it, if I really did something to Li Yunke, who had just accumulated great public morality on the banks of the Huijia River, I was afraid that someone with a heart would take advantage of it instead.

At the beginning, because of Li Cheng's broken leg, he also vented his anger on Li Yunke. At that time, Li Yunke was far away in Cangxun, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Instead, he fell seriously ill.However, after such a long time, with Zhang Lixin defeating Qiu Jue's army, he has to admit that Li Cheng is not a good talent, and it is useless to find an explanation from Li Yunke. It is better to find a new candidate early so that he can inherit the great power System.

"Yes, I have sent someone to investigate." Li Yunshen couldn't bear to deal with him any longer, "You have worked hard to rescue the disaster, so go back to the palace and rest. If necessary, I can ask Xiao Baizi to send you the imperial physician to have a look. .”

Li Yunke shook his head, "My brother is fine, and he will recover after lying down for a few days, but I still have a merciless request, and I hope the emperor will agree."

Li Yunshen didn't ask him what was the matter, and said directly: "I allow you to recuperate in the palace, and you don't have to go to court for now."

"Brother Xie Huang." Li Yunke said without moving.

Li Yunshen frowned, "Is there anything else?"

"The younger brother wants to visit the queen mother."

Li Yunshen's face immediately changed, knowing that he was going to complain to the Queen Mother, he stared at him for a long time and said, "Go if you want, but the Queen Mother is getting old, so don't disturb her for too long."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Yunke to thank him, he shook his sleeves and left without looking back.

"Mother, please be considerate of my son," Li Yunke pretended to be pitiful with a sick face, "It's nothing for my son to work hard for state affairs, but I can't bear the longing for Xuan'er and the child in my heart, otherwise, how can it last for a long time? not good?"

Seeing that he looked haggard, the queen mother really felt distressed, and pulled him and said, "Stop kneeling, get up and talk."

Li Yunke flattened his mouth, "If the queen mother doesn't agree, the minister won't get up."

"You have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and you have never suffered from any serious illness for so many years. Aijia also said that something went wrong this time. It turned out that you missed your wife and children and fell ill because of love." The queen mother touched his face, "Yes Thin, your brother is really, how can you be so cruel?"

Li Yunke held her hand, "Empress mother, since sons and ministers are named Li, it is reasonable to work for Chengning. I never felt jealous of the emperor because of this, but..."

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to help him up again.

Li Yunke didn't insist this time, and got up with the opportunity, and stood firmly by the side of her soft couch, "I know that the emperor has always had a lot of suspicions about my son, but my son has no soldiers and no power in his hands. I understand what the emperor is worried about. Now that the son is returning to Yingzhong, he dare not go away without the order of the emperor. I also ask the queen mother to say something for the son, so that the emperor will withdraw the people sent to monitor Xuan'er and his son. Right. Xuan'er has a stubborn temperament, if he continues like this, he is afraid that he will never bring the child back to see Erchen for the rest of his life!"

The queen mother didn't say anything, but her heart was like a mirror.

In the past, without Nangongxuan and no children, Li Yunshen was still willing to let Li Yunke go out on errands; now that Li Yunke has a queen, and the prince is in trouble, how can the always sensitive Li Yunshen not firmly control them in his palm?

"Did you come to Ai's family to talk about this because you hit a snag with your imperial brother?" The queen mother leaned back on the cushion, "You are obviously brothers, so you don't feel tired if you want to guess like this. "

Li Yunke said: "My son did not ask the emperor brother."

"Then you know that your imperial brother won't agree?" the Queen Mother said, "Isn't this a problem for the Ai family?"

Li Yunke said softly: "The queen mother will come forward, and the emperor will definitely agree."

The queen mother was silent for a long time before she let out a long sigh and said: "Forget it, it's because the Ai family misses their grandson, so I will help you this time."

"I know that the mother loves Erchen the most!" Li Yunke graciously helped her pinch her legs.

The Empress Dowager's expression faded quite a bit, "The Ai family loves you, and also your imperial brother. You are all sons of the Ai family. I have spoken to your imperial brother about this, and it will inevitably cause him to have a lot of thoughts in his heart. I'm afraid that we will have a severance with Ai's family in the future. So Yunke, Ai's family can only help you this time, don't make your brother unhappy again in the future, remember?"

Li Yunke paused, then smiled, and replied: "My son remembers."

"Being an emperor is not easy. Don't blame your brother. I'm afraid it won't be any different if you sit in that seat." I'm sorry, if you didn't come to accompany Ai's family for dinner, then you should go back and rest earlier."

Li Yunke felt uncomfortable for a while, and said anxiously: "The queen mother is strange that the minister didn't greet you first when he returned to Yingzhong, and he opened his mouth for the sake of others? The minister knows his mistake, but it's not that the minister doesn't miss the queen mother..."

The Empress Dowager held out her hand to the maid who was waiting on the side, stood up with the support of the maid, and said: "If you have a daughter-in-law, you will forget your mother, and if you have a child, you will forget about me, an old woman. You are like this, The same is true of your imperial brother. Because of Cheng'er's affairs, he can't even spare time to sit here at Ai's house recently, only Ai's house is still thinking about his illness, hey..."

Seeing her leaving him alone and ignoring her, Li Yunke felt pain in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the empress dowager's bedroom lonely.

Before walking out of the gate, he specifically told the eunuch and maid on duty to take good care of the queen mother, and if she felt uncomfortable in any way, she must send someone to inform him.Before entering the palace, he didn't bring much valuables with him, and now he gave all the eunuchs and maids to the eunuchs so that they could take their orders to heart.

Having said all that needs to be said, he looked back at the place where he had just talked with the Queen Mother, and then walked out of the palace alone.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, he bumped into a person he really didn't want to see——Prince Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by his confidant eunuch, relaxing in the imperial garden.The Crown Princess hugged their son, she didn't know what to say, she seemed to be trying to make him happy, but Li Cheng's face was always gloomy.

After seeing Li Yunke, the gloomyness intensified.

"Prince." Li Yunke didn't really want to talk to this person, but it seemed a bit too much to pretend he didn't see him, so he had no choice but to go up and say hello.

Li Cheng tightly gripped the blanket covering his legs, and said with a sneer, "Uncle Emperor, forgive me, it's inconvenient for my nephew to salute."

The princess felt a little embarrassed, and when she was about to speak, she was glared at by Li Cheng, and immediately dared not make a sound.

The little eunuch knew Li Cheng well, gave the princess a wink, and walked away quickly with the maids following behind.

When the people walked away, Li Cheng didn't even bother to maintain the superficial harmony. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Huang took great pains to pull me down from the position of crown prince. I don't know how much effort you have wasted on that fake map? Father, seeing that I was seriously injured, couldn't bear it." Changing the crown prince at this time, but I can't be the emperor anyway, are you satisfied?"

"Going to the western region is what you said, so what does it have to do with me?" Li Yunke didn't want to be the same as a cripple, but he was in a bad mood today, and he met someone who found fault, so he didn't show mercy, "Furthermore, Didn’t Zhang Shuai bring another map with him when he went to war? It’s the same map, if he saw it he could win and you saw it but lost, who can blame him?”

Li Cheng was so angry that he went crazy, and growled lowly: "I can't be the emperor and it's not your turn! Don't think that I'm completely useless without a leg, I won't let it go!"

Li Yunke snorted, stopped talking nonsense to him, and walked away.

Behind him, Li Cheng's suppressed roar followed, full of unwillingness and resentment.
