Chapter 222 You really know

"So that's it. His Highness of the King of Qin did not show any mercy. But in this way, there will be no room for any turnaround between you and the prince!" Li Xiu thought for a long time and finally sighed. If it was really planned by Li Shimin behind the scenes as he had guessed, then this also means that the battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng has reached a point of bloodshed, and the next will be the most cruel period in the court.

"Well, do you know my plan?" Li Shimin immediately said alertly when he heard Li Xiu's words. Although he knew that his words were absurd, only he and Changsun Wuji knew about his plan. Li Xiu would never know in advance. However, after hearing Li Xiu's words, his intuition made him doubt that Li Xiu seemed to have guessed something.

"Haha, how could I know Your Highness's plan? I just felt it for a moment. It's just that according to my original guess, Your Highness might play an assassination scene for himself, or poison it, and then frame the prince or the king of Qi. However, he didn't expect that Your Highness would aim at the prince's weakness as soon as he made a move!" Li Xiu hurriedly denied.

"Bao~, how could you know how to poison..." What Li Xiu never expected was that when Li Shimin heard his words, he seemed to have seen a ghost. He suddenly stood up and said in surprise. The teacup in his hand fell on the table. At the end, he suddenly woke up, but it was too late to shut up. It was the first time that Li Xiu saw him lose his composure after knowing him for so long.

"What? You...you aren't really planning to poison yourself, are you?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Li Shimin's words. He just said casually. After all, these methods of frame-up were indeed not very clever, and he didn't expect Li Shimin to have preparations in this regard.

"Haha~, why is it? Li Jijiu is really good at joking!" Li Shimin stared at Li Xiu for a while, but finally laughed dryly and denied, just looking at his smile and not smiling, it was even more ugly than crying.

"Haha~, I was indeed joking, but I didn't expect that the King of Qin would see it." Li Xiu also hurriedly followed Li Shimin's words. However, after he finished speaking, both of them closed their mouths at the same time. No one spoke again, and the atmosphere in the air began to become very awkward.

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said with a smirk, "Li Jijiu, you are newlywed, and my gift has been delivered, so I won't bother you!"

"Your Highness is busy with official duties, so I won't leave you anymore. I'll take you out!" Li Xiu felt relieved when he heard this, and stood up and said to the guest. Then the two left the living room together, and were silent along the way. This was the first time they felt so embarrassed since they met.

After leaving the door, Li Shimin turned over and said goodbye to leave. Looking at the other party's back as he left, Li Xiu also secretly blamed himself for being too much just now and did not say what he guessed, but the casual words followed him accidentally broke Li Shimin's plan. However, with Li Shimin's cunning, how could he use such a low-key trick to poison himself?

Before Li Xiu could figure out the above problem, he suddenly saw Li Shimin returning, and this time he rode a horse alone. When he came to Li Xiu, he flew off the horse, and then walked up and asked in a low voice: "What else do you know besides poisoning?"

"Your Highness misunderstood. I just said casually, you are too suspicious." Li Xiu said helplessly at this time, what is a coincidence? His current situation is a coincidence.

"Yang Wengan!" Li Shimin suddenly said a name at this moment, and stared at Li Xiu with a sharp look, not letting go of any details on his face.

"What... Yang Wengan, is this a personal name?" Li Xiu's face changed when he heard the three words "Yang Wengan". First, he did not expect that his guess was correct, and second, he did not expect that Li Shimin would directly test himself with the name of Yang Wengan. When he woke up and said something, it was too late. His expression just now was enough to explain everything.

"You know indeed!" Li Shimin stared at Li Xiu with complex eyes at this time, and even with a hint of fear in his eyes. He now doubted whether Li Xiu had any magical powers that could see through people's inner thoughts, otherwise how could he know his plan?

"What do you know? Your Highness may have misunderstood, right?" Li Xiu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely at this time, but he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be stupid. He is now worried that Li Shimin would kill people to silence him. After all, such an important thing, if it is leaked by him, even if Li Shimin does not die, he will eventually be deprived of all his power.

"Am I misunderstanding? Maybe!" Li Shimin also showed a bitter smile mixed with a little helplessness. If he had known this, he wouldn't have said much in front of Li Xiu just now, but it would be too late to regret it now.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he did not say goodbye to Li Xiu. He turned around and came to his war horse. He wanted to get on the horse but stepped on the horse twice in a row. He didn't turn over the horse until the third time. However, just when he turned his head and was about to leave, Li Xiu behind him said loudly again: "Your Highness, you are newlywed and don't want to be disturbed by others at night, so he can only borrow a support guard from the princess to station nearby. Please forgive me!"

"You...I..." Li Shimin suddenly turned around when he heard this. He understood that Li Xiu said this was because he was worried that he would kill someone to silence him. But to be honest, he did have the intention of killing someone to silence him just now, so he didn't know how to defend himself for a while.

"Haha, you and I are not gentlemen, so your highness should not blame me for being a villain." Li Xiu smiled again at this time, saying ugly words in front of him, and eliminating Li Shimin's intention to kill people and silence him in advance, so that he could meet again in the future.

"Whatever you think, but you are too careful." Li Shimin shook his head helplessly again, and at the same time, he completely gave up his mind to kill someone. Meeting someone like Li Xiu is considered unlucky.

"It's like accompanying the tiger. I have to be careful!" Li Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said such a meaningful sentence.

At the beginning, Li Shimin didn't care much after hearing this. He ran away wildly, but just as Li Shimin ran away far away and was about to disappear on the road, he suddenly burst out with an excited laughter. Then his voice came from afar: "Thank you for your good words!"

Looking at the direction of Li Shimin leaving, Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the "sugar bean" he gave Li Shimin in the end could work. However, if Li Shimin really wants to kill someone to silence him, don't blame him for being rude. Li Shimin is at a disadvantage now. If Li Xiu reminds Li Jiancheng a few more words, then Li Shimin will never think of turning back.

After seeing Li Shimin away, there were still constant guests in Li Xiu's home. First, Du Fuwei brought a bunch of gifts. He didn't understand the inside story and even blamed Li Xiu for not calling him yesterday, which made Li Xiu have to explain with a wry smile.

Then the warrior came. Last time Li Xiu helped him a lot, which made him successfully take the position of Minister of Works. He never had time to thank Li Xiu. As a result, he took advantage of this opportunity to send a lot of gifts. The Wu family was originally a rich man, but the gift he gave was comparable to Du Fuwei's last ten-car gift.

Finally, Mr. Ma rushed over. He was in the mine in the north of the city yesterday and had no time to return. Today, he rode his horse and rushed over. Because Du Fuwei and the warrior were there, he didn't ask much. Li Xiu set up a banquet, and the four of them drank until the afternoon before they finished.

After Du Fuwei and the Warrior left, Ma Ye immediately said anxiously: "Boy, is your marriage decided like this?"

"There is no other way. The two imperial edicts for marriage have shown His Majesty's determination. The princess also knows this, and she also has some knots, so she convinced me to accept the edict and took the initiative to help me hold the wedding..."

As Li Xiu said that, he told the story of Pei Ji coming to pass the imperial edict yesterday, and he did not even hide the fact that he forced Princess Pingyang to worship. Although Ma Master held an intelligence agency loyal to Li Yuan, he was more loyal to Princess Pingyang than Li Yuan. In addition to his relationship with Li Xiu, he did not have to worry that he would report this to Li Yuan.

"What's the use of just a church? This matter cannot be announced, otherwise you will definitely die. Do you want the princess to follow you without any reputation?" Ma's eyes turned red at this time. He treated Princess Pingyang as his biological daughter. When he thought that his daughter would not even have a title in his life, this was something that all his father could not accept.

Li Xiu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally said, "It's not entirely true. The battle between the prince and the King of Qin is getting more and more intense. Although the prince seems to have the upper hand now, the King of Qin may not have no chance to turn the tables..."

"But even if the King of Qin turns the tables, what if he doesn't agree with you and the princess like His Majesty?" Before Li Xiu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Master.

Seeing Mr. Ma’s anxious look, Li Xiu hesitated for a while again, and finally said helplessly: “Uncle Ma, I can’t say something to you clearly, but in my opinion, in the near future, there may be a drastic change in the Tang Dynasty. As long as you seize the opportunity, no one can stop me from being with the princess at that time!”
