Chapter 1' A separate courtyard in the deep palace of Ouchi

At this time, the ministers had almost dispersed. Li Yu had already been escorted by the ministers to the arch bridge of a pavilion in the palace. He looked at the jade carvings carved with climbing dragons and phoenixes, which were very exquisite.

Under the arch bridge, there is clear blue water. It is almost the early summer season, and the gentle breeze blows, which makes people feel very comfortable, especially the few red silver carp swimming freely in the water.

It looks very comfortable. In fact, the life in the palace is not bad. Not to mention the fine clothes and food, the beautiful scenery in this world is a supreme enjoyment. It would be great if there were no intrigues and intrigues. But then again, no

Jianghu people say that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there is struggle. Only when there is struggle will there be natural selection and survival of the fittest. It seems that struggle is everywhere.

Li Yu was thinking about it when a voice suddenly startled him.

"Fourth brother, what's on your mind? You're so obsessed with looking at the fish in the water. Even though I called you several times, you ignored me. My mother heard that you entered the court today, so I guess you didn't go far.

I have been specially sent to call you to see the queen mother and her old man." A handsome young man with a humble gentleman and an elegant air stood in front of Li Yu, with a smile on his face.

"Fourth brother? Are you..." Li Yu searched his mind for information about the person in front of him. He really had no impression of such a person. From his tone, he must be one of the princes, but he didn't know which prince he was.

The second prince himself has seen it. The eldest prince will not come here for no reason. Then the only one who is older than him and related to him is the third prince Li Jimin. His mother is not Murong, who Master Ling'er said has a martial arts artifact.

Empress Feifei.

"Fourth brother, are you really stupid? You are still pretending in front of your third brother. Okay, you took care of me as a brother when we were young. Do you still remember to go to your house? At that time, we were both

It's not big. Whenever there is delicious food, you always stick to me to eat it. Your third brother has never forgotten how good your fourth brother is."

As soon as he finished speaking, he winked and said in a low and inaudible voice: "The Queen Mother wants to see you, because suspicious people have been appearing recently. The Queen Mother feels that the palace is no longer a place to store artifacts, and she may be arrested sooner or later.

If someone finds out, the gain will outweigh the loss, so today I am waiting for my fourth brother to go over and return the sword to its original owner, so that I can feel at ease and come with me as soon as possible!"

It is still a separate courtyard of the palace. Li Yu, who followed all the way here, took a closer look around. Various potted flowers and plants lined the pavilions and corridors to protect the rain. Some flowers were colorful and pleasing to the eye, while some flowers were fragrant.

, the fragrance permeates the air, making people feel very comfortable. There is a pomegranate tree in front of the main hall in the courtyard, which is about the diameter of a bowl. The delicate new leaves have just grown out in twos and threes. The whole courtyard seems to lack the solemnity of a royal palace.

, but with an extra sense of leisure and elegance.

Seeing Li Yu looking at these flowers and plants, the third prince Li Jimin said: "My mother loves flowers and plants very much. When she has nothing to do, she takes care of these flowers and plants herself. Some of them are rare treasures paid tribute by foreign countries, but many people can't feed them.

Only the Queen Mother can take care of her well. In this deep palace, perhaps this is the only job the Queen uses to entertain herself. Fourth brother, please go into the house quickly, the Queen Mother may be impatient."

With that said, Li Yu and the third prince entered the main hall. As soon as Li Yu stepped onto the threshold of the house, he heard a very loving voice.

"Yu'er is here. Come and sit in the room quickly. Your Aunt Murong hasn't seen you for two years. Let her see if she has grown taller." As he spoke, a middle-aged lady with an extremely kind face looked straight at Li.

Jade came in front of him.

The impression that Empress Murong gave Li Yu could only be described in two words: comfortable. Her upright and delicate face gave people a very kind feeling. In addition, when she first entered the house, she heard the unpretentious words of love, which made Li Yu

In front of this person, Yu can no longer show any masculine domineering, but more like a wronged child, seeing an elder who supports him, with no chivalrous bones, but all the tenderness is displayed. This is a very natural

The feeling is like family affection. Although the person in front of him has no blood relationship with him, Li Yu can deeply understand the taste of family affection based on his own feelings. This makes Li Yu very useful. After coming to this world,

For the first time, I felt the care and compassion of my elders.

The lady did not sit down, but walked up to Li Yu, gently caressed Li Yu's face with her hands, tears flashing in her eyes, looking extremely pitiful for Li Yu, and said: "Yu'er has lost weight.

It’s also dark, my aunt hasn’t visited you all this time, you won’t blame her, right?”

Already immersed in a feeling that he had not felt for a long time, Li Yu felt a little lost for a moment. His mother in the previous life went on a secret national mission and was eventually killed. She had little love from her mother since she was a child. And she could not be alone.

She expressed her sadness in front of her grandfather. In that case, her grandfather would be even more sad. The strong Li Yu has been trying hard to package herself. Although she sometimes thinks of her father and mother from time to time, Li Yu wants to

To make grandpa happy, he tried hard to hide himself, and the pain in his heart never burst out.

But today, Murong Feifei's infinite love for Li Yu, such true love without any pretense, suddenly revealed the pain deep in Li Yu's heart. For a moment, she couldn't hold it back and allowed Murong Feifei to act like an elder.

She felt pity for herself, especially her affection for Li Yu that was close to mother's love. Li Yu suddenly felt that in this miserable world, there was an elder who cared for him so carefully. This made Li Yu

His heart was like the warm current of winter, slowly flowing into his heart. The calm and soothing feeling made Li Yu feel like a wronged child. She began to burst into tears unscrupulously and knelt down in front of Empress Murong.

"Auntie, it's Yu'er. It should be Yu'er who came to see you. You don't have to blame yourself. This is all Yu'er's fault. Please punish me, Aunt Murong." Li Yu also showed his true feelings at this time, making that

Murong Feifei was heartbroken.

"Okay, let my aunt punish you. Turn around and I'm going to spank you thirty times to make you stop coming to see my aunt. Do you know how worried your aunt is about your safety? From now on, you will also be in the court.

, it is also very convenient to enter and exit the palace. Remember to come and visit your aunt often when you are free. My aunt is old and feels a little lonely. She is just waiting for you to come and talk to her. As long as I can see you every day, I will be satisfied.

Now." Murong Feifei's words moved Li Yu very much.

"It will be much more convenient in the future. No matter what happens, Yu'er will come to see my aunt often. Just relax." Li Yu also knew that there were not many people in this world that he trusted completely, but the one in front of him was,

Not to mention his true feelings for himself, just because he wanted to preserve the three martial arts artifacts for himself, he knew that he was definitely someone he could trust.

"Stepmin, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and tell your servants to go to the imperial kitchen. We need to add a few more dishes today. Yu'er finally came to see my aunt today. We must have a good reunion dinner."

"My child, go now. Mother, don't worry. I'll go and ask in person and I'll make some special dishes." After saying that, Li Jimin walked out of the house.

At this time, Empress Murong calmed down her heart and began to say: "In recent days, I don't know who has left the news or been discovered by others. Auntie, I always feel that there is something suspicious.

People always appear in a flash, and my Buddhist temple also has signs of being turned over. My aunt is afraid that someone is peeking at the three swords and martial arts treasures. It is not necessarily because of the three artifacts, but there is definitely someone.

I asked my stepfather to come here just to let you take these three martial arts treasures. This was originally given to you by your grandpa, and my aunt has returned it to its original owner, completing the task entrusted by your grandpa.

Secondly, your situation is very bad now. The emperor asked you to go to court and learn the six arts. It seems to be helping a child to stand upright, but in fact, it hides murderous intentions. This is not a good thing, so my aunt also wants you to quickly take this martial arts

Three treasures, from now on, no matter which sect in the world you go to, they will protect you with all their strength."

"Auntie, you can rest assured. Although I, Li Yu, can't say how powerful I am now, please believe me that ordinary young people will definitely not be able to do anything to you, Yu'er. As for what my aunt said about what my father did to me, how can Yu'er do it?

I don’t know if she wants to use her grandfather’s political power to deal with others, but Yu’er also knows that dangers and opportunities coexist. Since I have been pushed to this position, and Yu’er, I have no choice but to retreat, so I will play my role well.

To fulfill my role as the crown prince, I want to make them all afraid of giving me the title of crown prince, Li Yu, and I want to make his throne unstable." Li Yuyi spoke.

With a look of horror on his face, even Murong Feifei felt an unprecedented chill from Li Yu.

"Yu'er, you can't act haphazardly. What you have to do now is to protect yourself from others before your grandpa picks you up. This is your victory. Remember what my aunt told you.

If so." Murong Feifei said to Li Yu sincerely.

Okay, let's go take a look at your three martial arts artifacts.

After saying that, they came to a Buddhist hall where Empress Murong usually prayed to gods and made wishes. The entire Buddhist hall was filled with smoke. There was a golden Arhat placed on a table. I don’t know what period it was from. Judging from the age and workmanship, it was probably

It must be an antique, but that is not Li Yu's concern now. There are many snacks and fruits placed under the Buddha statue, which looks like a small place to burn incense and worship Buddha.

At this time, Murong Feifei walked up to the Buddha statue, held the base of the Buddha statue with both hands, and twisted it. A hole about five feet long suddenly opened in the corner of the wall behind Li Yu, and it was immediately revealed.
