My harem can't be this messy

Page 238

Li Shimin got up, pulled Li Zhi, and the father and son walked out of the Ganlu Palace. Li Shimin looked at the magnificent palace in front of him, and then at the Lizheng Palace not far away.

"Father has asked Hou Junji to prepare for today's court meeting, and he will go to Anxi in the next year."

"Father, Nazhi'er is looking for a place in the palace today, and is planning to clear it out, and plant cotton in the spring of next year."

"Well, you grow cotton in the palace, so you can spend more time in the palace with father and queen."

"Father, if it weren't for the system, Zhi'er really wants to stay with father and mother all the time."

"Okay, go and see your mother, she has always cared about you the most."

"Father, Nazhi'er has retired."

After Li Zhi left, Li Shimin rubbed the cotton cloth in his hand for a long time.

This kind of cotton material is made into clothes. If it is used to replace hemp material and filled with cotton in winter, this winter will be much easier for ordinary people.

Li Zhi had already walked to the Lizheng Hall at this time, and Empress Changsun had just put down the teacup when she saw Li Zhi coming over. As soon as this kid came over, he joined Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun slapped Li Zhi's hand, preventing Li Zhi from placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Okay, don't rub your mother's shoulders today, just sit with her. Qiu Ju, make a cup of tea for King Jin."

"Yes, madam!"

"Mother, what's the matter? Usually, mother doesn't like Zhi'er to rub your shoulders and beat your back?"

"I'm afraid that if you mess around again and your father bumps into you, it will have a great impact on you. This is the most critical time, and the position of the crown prince is more important than anything else. You know, Zhi'er."

"Yes, Zhi'er understands."

"I hope you really understand that when you come to the Lizheng Palace in the future, you will behave well. Also, go to Concubine Yang and Concubine Chao, and I will also obey the rules. Don't think that I don't know that you treat Princess Chao very well. What did you say to Concubine Yang?"

Li Zhi stuck out his tongue, he just took advantage of his words and didn't really do anything.

"Zhi'er, when a game of chess is at a stalemate, that's when you put the most effort into it. One wrong move, one wrong step, don't make the situation out of control because of trivial things."

"Zhi'er listens to the mother's teachings."

At this time Qiu Ju had come in and presented the teacup to Li Zhi.

Empress Changsun waved her hand, and Qiu Ju hurried out.

"Recently, the king of Han often went to the East Palace, and was once called by Chengqian overnight. I guessed that there would be some movement in the East Palace. A few days ago, your father had a long talk with Shangguanyi in Hongwen Pavilion, and the queen mother knew , There have always been people from the East Palace in Hongwen Pavilion, and I am afraid that some voices have been heard by the East Palace."

"Queen, what do you mean, my elder brother is going to do something?"

"If he doesn't do anything, the position of the crown prince is really not easy to change."

Empress Changsun took a sip of tea, looked at her son, then stood up, walked in front of Li Zhi, and put one hand on Li Zhi's shoulder.

"You should be more careful these days. You have done a lot of things in and out of the palace recently. Don't let your elder brother pay too much attention to you."

"Oh, Zhi'er understands, Zhi'er will definitely pay more attention."

"Well, is there anything else to do today? If you have nothing to do, go back to Prince Jin's Mansion early."

"Queen, Zhi'er will choose a place to plant cotton in the harem soon!"

"There is nothing to choose. Cotton does not have high requirements on soil quality. There is more open space on the horse farm, and only some weeds need to be removed."

"Then Zhi'er will listen to his mother and choose a place on the other side of the racecourse."

"Okay, go get busy! Spend more time with your father on weekdays. You should know what to do."

Li Zhi got up and left the Lizheng Hall.

Wei Wangfu, Wei Wang has been grounded for the second time, if there is no need, he is not allowed to leave the Wei Wangfu half a step.

Li Tai was in Wei Wang's mansion at this time, already feeling extremely uncomfortable, but there was no way, his father would not let him leave the mansion, how could he dare to go out at will.

On weekdays, he can only drink and drink alone in the mansion, watching the singing, dancing and wind music performances of the concubines in the mansion.

At this time, King Wei drank a few more glasses, watching a concubine dancing in the palace, the more boring he looked, the more boring he was, the worse his mood at this time.

Chapter 462 Assassination

King Wei suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand at the concubine, the concubine did not dare to dodge, and was hit hard on the leg, the white porcelain wine glass was broken due to the collision, and the originally slender jade leg was also smashed open at this time Blood flowed out of the opening, and soon the white gauze skirt was stained red.

"roll!"

King Wei roared, and the concubine hurried out with her injured leg, not daring to stay here any longer.

His Royal Highness Wei Wang's temper has become worse and worse recently, and these concubines usually dare to offend His Highness.

This one is not good. It is not uncommon to be beaten up. I am afraid that half of my life will be tortured by His Highness. There are not many concubines dragged out of the mansion recently.

"Don't be angry, Your Highness, drink a glass of wine to calm down."

In the arms of King Wei, a petite concubine hurriedly poured a glass of wine and presented it to King Wei.

"Don't drink, don't drink, the more you drink, the more angry you are, these maids, this dance is not as good as the last time."

"Your Highness, I learned a sword dance in the palace before, and I want to show it to Your Highness."

"Sword dance, good, you dance."

Wei Wang put his arms around that petite body, and there was already another tall maid in the hall, holding a sharp sword, dancing gracefully in the hall.

King Wei glanced at it and clapped his hands.

"You're kind of interesting."

"Your Highness, drink!"

Li Tai drank a glass, and when the petite maid poured the wine again, the wine was already empty.

"Your Highness, the wine is gone, I'll pour another pot for Your Highness."

Li Tai waved his hand, and the petite maid hurried to pour the wine.

At this time, she filled up the wine, and then took a pearl in her hair from the gold hairpin. The pearl shattered with her hands, and the broken powder just fell into the wine pot.

The jug was shaken between a pair of jade hands, and the maid carried the jug into the hall.

At this time, the wine was full and served to King Wei who was watching the sword dance with relish.

"This sword dance is good, come on, don't just let me drink, you also drink with me, open your mouth."

King Wei held the wine glass, the maid in his arms panicked, but she drank the wine without hesitation.

At this time, another cup was filled and passed to King Wei.

"It's time for Your Highness to drink."

Li Tai picked up the wine glass, raised his neck, and wanted to drink a glass of wine.

Suddenly a cold light came, Li Tai quickly turned his head to avoid it, and threw the wine glass casually in his hand, just in time for a glass of wine to splash on the sword dancing woman's face.

The woman didn't dodge either, she turned the blade of the sword in her hand and plowed open the skin of King Wei's neck.

At this moment, Li Tai had already sobered up, he quickly took two steps back, and touched his neck with his hands, which were already covered in blood.

"Come on, there are assassins!"

The king of Wei shouted, the woman holding the sword had already killed him desperately, a cold light suddenly appeared, like moonlight pouring down, and the cold light hit his face, and he was about to kill Li Tai with a sword.

In desperation, Li Tai couldn't care about the wound on his neck at all, picked up the chair next to him, and walked towards the maid with the sword.

At this time, outside the room, a group of palace guards had rushed in.

And Li Tai's chair just happened to swing on the woman.

The delicate body was thrown out by the self-rescue King Wei's chair, and the broken wood chips of the chair were all in the air.

At this time, Li Tai was hit by the sword again on the shoulder and chest, and the blood cut by the blade extended from the shoulder to the chest, which was extremely terrifying.

"Don't kill her, catch her alive."

Li Tai supported the wall, and the sword-wielding maid on the ground had already been controlled. She wanted to chew her tongue and kill herself, but she was still a step too late.

Li Tai was leaning on the wall at this time, and suddenly looked at the place where he was sitting. The petite woman was dead, and the blood from her mouth flowed down the corner of her lips, which was extremely bright red.

Wei Wangfu, at this time people from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs all rushed here. The assassination of Wei Wang also alarmed Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and rushed to Wei Wangfu in person.

This is also my own son!How could Li Shimin not be in a hurry when he met an assassin and was injured physically? As for Empress Changsun, if she was not in a hurry, she had to pretend to be in a hurry!

At this time, the two had just arrived at the place where Li Tai was recuperating, and the busy medical officer of the imperial medical office quickly knelt down in front of the emperor and queen.

"How's Taylor's injury?"

"Returning to Madam, there are two wounds on His Royal Highness King Wei, one on the neck and the other on the chest, but luckily no vital injuries were injured."

Empress Changsun patted her chest. At this time, she let out a long breath, and the tears in the corners of her eyes couldn't stop rolling down.

Li Shimin had already walked to Li Tai's side. Seeing his beloved son hurt like this, the emperor was holding back the tears. He is the emperor, so he can't cry like a queen!

The two were looking at their seriously injured son, when someone outside ran in anxiously.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with my fourth brother? Father, queen, you are also here."

"Zhi'er, hurry up and ask someone to go to Linqing'an Pavilion, and invite the two Miss Lin to come over."

"Queen, I'm already on my way. I'll be here in a while. How is my fourth brother injured?"

"look by youself!"

Li Zhi walked past the queen mother who was crying with her jade hands covering her eyes, and looked at Wei Wang Li Tai who was lying on the sickbed.

Seeing the injuries on his neck and chest, Li Zhi threw himself on the edge of the bed, crying into tears in an instant.

Empress Changsun looked at her cheap son, who could act better than herself, this kid wouldn't hold onions and garlic in his hand, or just hold pepper!There are no onions in the Tang Dynasty now, or Empress Changsun must have thought that Li Zhi had onions in his hand.

Li Zhi lay there crying for a while, and then passed out from crying sadly. Li Shimin saw that he was only grateful for the deep love between the two brothers!

More and more people came from outside, and the assassination of King Wei was enough to alarm the entire upper echelon of Chang'an.

When his daughter also rushed in and cried, Li Shimin hastened to have the palace guarded by King Wei at this time.

Li Tai is still recovering from his injuries, but he can't stand the crying of so many people here!

Stopping people outside, a lot of people were stopped after a while, and they were not allowed to enter here, so everyone could only wait and see outside.

And the little princess ran around bored outside, and ran to the place where King Jin was resting from crying.Seeing her imperial brother lying on the couch with tears in the corners of his eyes, the little princess burst into tears.

"Brother Huang, what's the matter with you, what's the matter with you?"

Li Zhi was awakened by Hengshan's shaking, and quickly blocked the little girl's crying mouth.

"Brother Huang is fine, it's fine, don't cry, it's the second brother who was injured, not me. By the way, only the fourth brother is allowed to be called after a while, the other emperor brothers are also there."

Heng Shan nodded, and Li Zhi hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At this time, he and Heng Shan walked out, and the investigators from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice had already rushed over.

Tang Zong's face was cold, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple quickly knelt down on the ground.

"what happened?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, we just checked carefully the place where His Royal Highness King Wei was assassinated, and also carefully questioned the guard who rushed in the first time."

"His Royal Highness was assassinated this time by two assassins, and they were not a group of people. The petite maid poisoned the wine, and the sword-wielding woman beheaded with a sharp sword in her hand."

Chapter 463 Worry

"How can you be sure that they are not from the same group?"

"Returning to your mother, the king of Wei was about to drink the poisoned wine at that time, and the maid with the sword happened to attack, so the king of Wei didn't drink the poisoned wine. If it was the same group of people, the woman with the sword would never pick this time to strike. She didn't know that at that time Wei The wine the king was about to drink was poisonous, and her sword just saved His Royal Highness King Wei from a catastrophe."

"You are so courageous, let me investigate, I must investigate, and I want to see, who has the courage to assassinate my emperor's son."

"Your Majesty, now that the two assassins are dead and the other wounded, the maid with the sword wants to die, but she can't ask anything at all."

"Can't you find out the details of those two maids?"

"The background of those two maids is very clean, and nothing of value can be found."

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to let the living maid speak."

"Your Majesty, but that maid wants to die, I'm afraid..."

"No matter what method is used, she cannot be allowed to die before she tells the truth."

"But if she bit her tongue and killed herself as soon as she opened her mouth..."
