Heaven and earth return to one

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Li Yunke returned to Yingzhong and directly broke into the palace gate.

The streets are filled with lights and festoons, and the palace is naturally not very clean. The red lanterns extend from the gate of the palace to all the palaces, adding a lot of joy and warmth to the solemn and solemn palace on weekdays.The eunuchs and maids were busy together, chatting and laughing, showing a rare relaxed look.

Li Yunke looked out of place when he walked through it.

With a sullen face, he walked in without touching the ground, followed by a string of guards.

Someone in front wanted to stop him, so he put it down bluntly, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

Not long after, Eunuch Bai, the chief eunuch, came forward and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

The guards knew that what he came to convey must be the emperor's will, so they all obediently withdrew their hands and stood aside.

"My lord," Director Bai bowed halfway, turning sideways to make way for him, "The emperor and the queen mother are here to invite you."

Li Yunke swept his gaze over the group of guards who had blocked him before, snorted heavily, and strode forward with his hands shaken.

Ordinarily, on New Year's Eve in previous years, there would be a grand banquet for the officials in the palace, but this year Li Yunshen was suffering from serious and minor illnesses, and he always felt that it was not so auspicious, so he didn't have the mood to celebrate.So he asked someone to set up a family banquet in Yihua Palace, intending to spend a warm new year with the queen mother with his family.

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by Li Yunke who came back unexpectedly.

"Brother Huang!" Before the eunuch came in to inform, Li Yunke had already pushed the door open, and said in a trembling voice, "If you have any dissatisfaction with your younger brother, you can just direct it at me, why do you have to embarrass my child!"

The chattering and laughing people in a large room stopped immediately and looked at him in a daze, surprised at the tone he spoke to Li Yunshen.

Li Yunshen was also intimidated by him, and it took him a while to regain his emperor's majesty, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Whoever allowed you to talk to me like this, doesn't it mean you don't want your head?"

"It's not been a day or two since the emperor wanted my head. Emperor Rong Hong couldn't tolerate Prince Duan, how could I not know?" Li Yunke's eyes were red and aggressive, "But what did my child do wrong? Can you be cruel to him?"

Li Yunshen was trembling with his anger, stood up and pointed at him with trembling fingers: "It's reversed, it's reversed, it's really reversed! What about people, are they all blind? Hurry up and arrest this traitor and put him in prison." Heavenly Prison!"

Li Yunke's eyes widened with anger, and he pushed it out fiercely, and said sharply: "Who dares!"

"You..." Frightened by his aura, Li Yunshen lost his footing and fell back down, almost choking on his own saliva, unable to speak for a long time.

The room became quiet again, and everyone tried to breathe lightly, for fear that if the silence was interrupted by themselves, it would cause trouble to the upper body.

"Yunke," the queen mother spoke out first, looked at Li Yunke with some displeasure, and blamed, "You haven't come back for a long time, and when you came back, you yelled at your brother. What's the reason? Rude and reckless , Offend Tianyan, no matter how much the Ai family loves you, I can't stand it this time."

Li Yunke's eyes became even redder, and he knelt down on his knees, "Mother, son..."

"Left and right, what are you still doing!" Li Yunshen breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to come forward to arrest him, "First Zhang Lixin dared to disobey the order and disrespect, and then Li Yunke acted wildly in front of me. Dare to do something to you, don't you?"

Li Yunke's mind moved slightly, knowing that Li Yunshen must have issued the order to transfer Zhang Lixin to the northern border, and Zhang Lixin did not resist the order as he expected.This matter has already angered Li Yunshen, so he will not give himself face, so this drama must be done more.

The guard stepped forward and held him down.

"Mother, my son is not afraid of going to jail, but please save Xin'er no matter what, he..." Li Yunke wanted to break away from the person who was dragging him out, but for some reason, his voice suddenly stopped and his body froze. , and then there was a sudden shock, and he vomited a big mouthful of blood.

Several concubines in the harem exclaimed, their faces turned pale with fright.

The guard let go of Li Yunke, and looked at Li Yunshen questioningly.

Li Yunshen was also stunned. Seeing Li Yunke half kneeling on the ground panting heavily, he asked, "You...what's the matter with you?"

Only then did the queen mother notice his pale and haggard face, she panicked immediately, pushed the little maid beside her, and urged: "Prince doctor, hurry up and tell the doctor!"

Li Yunke raised his sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and simply sat on the ground, "Mother, you know, the emperor sent more than 200 guards to Shuluo Mountain to pick up the letter in order to restrain the minister, saying that if the minister refuses to obey, his The army will not point to the fiercely fought border, but will encircle Shura Mountain. For the sake of the overall situation, the minister handed over the letter to his commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, but the next day he heard that the more than 200 guards were in the Shura Mountain The neighborhood has disappeared, and my minister's Xin'er...Xin'er also..."

When he said this, he broke away in one breath, coughing so hard that he couldn't stop, and his face became a little ugly.

The queen mother turned to look at Li Yunshen.

Li Yunshen didn't dare to look at her, coughed dryly and said, "If you hadn't emptied Prince Duan's mansion and made it clear that you wanted to rebel, how could I have made such a bad plan?"

"If I want to, I will keep you until today?" Li Yunke was desperate, and said without hesitation, "It is precisely because I know that you will do something to me sooner or later that I will take my family away from Yingzhong, but why don't you Will you let me go? I searched for Xin'er near Mount Shura for three days, but I didn't even find the shadow of the guards, so I rushed back to Yingzhong day and night. Brother Huang wants my life, so take it. I only hope that you can return my son unscathed, and Li Yunke is at your mercy!"

Li Yunshen was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, "What you said is..."

"Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager said with a frown, "The Ai family thinks what Yun Ke said is true, what does your Majesty think?"

Li Yunshen held his forehead, "This..."

The Empress Dowager's expression turned serious, "Where is Ai's grandson?"

"Mother..." Li Yunshen sighed, glanced at Li Yunke who was sitting on the head, and said in a low voice, "It's not that the minister refused to tell the queen, it's really... the minister doesn't know either!"

Li Yunke made a gesture to get up and pounce on him, but was grabbed by someone.

Li Yunshen saw dissatisfaction in the Empress Dowager's eyes, and said again: "It's true, Chen Zhe hasn't contacted my son-in-law until today, and my son-in-law doesn't know where he has gone."

"You lied!" Li Yunke's lower lip couldn't help trembling, "You...you lied..."

Li Yunshen got annoyed when he saw him, "Believe it or not!"

Li Yunke sat with his head down for a while, as if completely panicked, but not long after, his shoulders trembled, and he raised his head again.He got rid of the hand that was holding him, knelt down politely, kowtowed to Li Yunshen and said: "Brother Huang, I beg you, Xin'er is so young, he is innocent, please forgive him! "

Li Yunshen: "..." Which song is this sung?

"Brother Huang, please be kind..." Li Yunke quickly knocked his head to the point of blood, and asked Li Yunshen to show mercy repeatedly as if absent-minded.

Li Yunshen was made very uncomfortable by him, "I told you, I don't know where Chen Zhe is at this time, and naturally your son can't be here with me."

Li Yunke raised his head, blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his face.His eyes were full of pleading, pain spilled out, and he said in a hoarse voice: "My brother knows that the emperor has been jealous of my brother all these years, so he has planned to have no heirs, but that doesn't mean that my brother doesn't want a son who belongs to me. My own child. Xin'er...he was an accident. I have only had such a child in my 30 years of life, and I value him more than my life. Brother Huang, I would like to swear to heaven and earth that this child will definitely stay away from the court , will never threaten the heir you have decided to the throne. I beg you to let him go, let him go..."

Li Yunshen was so noisy that his head was buzzing, he said: "How many times do you want me to tell you that he is really not in my hands!"

"Then..." Li Yunke seemed to be stunned, "Where is he?"

Li Yunshen stomped his feet fiercely, "I don't know!"

The Empress Dowager signaled the maid to wipe Li Yunke's face, patted Li Yunshen's hand, "Your Majesty..."

"Mother, son-in-law absolutely did not lie." Li Yunshen clenched his fists angrily, and said, "I did ask Chen Zhe to bring the eldest son back. I didn't tell my mother in advance. It was son-in-law's fault, but son-in-law didn't expect that. That this kind of thing would happen.”

The Empress Dowager looked at him slightly reproachfully, but cared about his face as an emperor, and didn't say anything, "Anyway, we have to get Ai's grandson back first."

"Looking for..." Li Yunke regained his energy, waved away the maid in front of him, and begged Li Yunshen again, "Brother Emperor, you have a lot of people, please help me find Xin'er!"

Hearing what he said, Li Yunshen became angry, and said coldly: "I have a lot of people, and you have a lot of people, right? Don't think that I don't know that you sent tens of thousands of private soldiers to the west. Have the guts to come back!"

Li Yunke's already pale complexion turned even grayer, "The war is urgent, my brother..."

"That's right, the war is urgent, and my men and horses will naturally be sent to the border to meet the enemy, and there is no manpower left to find your son." Li Yunshen made it clear that he didn't even give the queen mother any face.

When he cut off contact with Chen Zhe, the first thing he suspected was Li Yunke, but after seeing Li Yunke's performance today, he felt that there was something else hidden about this matter.But he couldn't figure out what was going on in the middle, but he was sure that the person who shot was definitely not out of good intentions, so that little baby who was only two years old was probably in danger.That being the case, it would be better to let Li Yunke suffer with longing, than to help him find a dead body and let him turn his back on him with a dead son in his arms.

Li Yunshen suddenly felt a sense of pleasure, he thought, you have finally tasted what it feels like when your beloved son is hurt.

He couldn't help but look back at Li Cheng who was sitting silently behind him, and nodded at him with a faint smile.

Li Cheng nodded politely, trying to hide the schadenfreude sneer at the corner of his mouth.
