Datang's journey to death

Chapter 38

Although the house in Xingdaoli is not big, it has all kinds of functions, and there are corresponding measures for water leakage, but the kitchen does not know what happened, the fire is raging, and the neighbors around come to help put out the fire, and it took more than one It was only time to completely extinguish the fire.

Because the kitchen is a little far away from the main courtyard, the main courtyard was not affected too much, but the backyard of their neighbor's house was also affected.

However, things are secondary, and the most important thing is the people in the kitchen. In the chaos, Li Ke asked after asking and found out that when the kitchen caught fire, Concubine Yang Shu and her two maids were inside, See them escape.

Li Ke's heart beat faster in an instant, and he had a little awareness when Xiaoshi hinted at him just now, and now after getting the news, he can almost 100% be sure that Xiaoshi did something wrong.

Otherwise, why did Mrs. Xiao suddenly want to eat the steamed cake made by Concubine Yang Shu? Why did Concubine Yang Shu and her maid not trap anyone in it?Li Ke held Li Yin's hand tightly, his palm was slippery, and he was waiting for a result.

And Li Yin was already stupid, the kitchen was on fire, and Concubine Yang Shu and her maid didn't come out, so there was only one possibility left, but people can't help but have hope when they haven't seen the final result.

"Third Brother, Auntie will be fine, right?" Li Yin asked with a pale face and trembling voice.

Li Ke squeezed his hand hard, took a deep breath and nodded firmly: "Yes, Auntie... Auntie has a good fortune, so nothing will happen."

It's just that even though he said so, Li Ke also knew very well in his heart that Concubine Yang Shu might have passed away, and at this point, Li Ke couldn't help but feel emotional.

In fact, Concubine Yang Shu was very kind to her own son. Last time, although he didn't spend much time with Concubine Yang Shu, Concubine Yang Shu still cared about him very much. people.

Li Ke felt so much guilt towards Concubine Yang Shu. To be honest, if Concubine Yang Shu hadn’t targeted him everywhere, he would never have thought about what he would do to Concubine Yang Shu. At the beginning, he might have thought of respecting Concubine Yang Shu as his own mother. .

It's a pity that Concubine Yang Shu only wants her own son, not his fake son.

After the fire was extinguished, it was time to clean up the ruins, and the most important thing was to find people.The guards that Li Shimin sent to protect Li Ke also came in handy. Of course, Li Ke didn't forget to ask Lv Yang to go back to the palace to report to the saint lady - such a big matter cannot be concealed.

Another half an hour later, Concubine Yang Shu and her maid were finally found. However... after seeing the three bodies that were as black as charred charcoal, Mrs. Xiao yelled sadly: "Twelve mothers!"

She stumbled and ran over to take a closer look, but as soon as she got close, she rolled her eyes and passed out.Li Ke stood there with a pale face, and Li Yin was already dumbfounded.

Yang Zhengdao and Li Yin formed a duo of idiots. Li Ke originally expected Yang Zhengdao to take charge of the overall situation, but when he turned his head to see how stupid he was, he couldn't help sighing, so he had to bite the bullet and do it himself.

"Grandma! Come here, get a good doctor!" Li Ke pretended to be flustered, and pushed Yang Zhengdao by the way.

Yang Zhengdao woke up like a dream, but after recovering, he only said: "Yes, yes, do as Sanlang said."

Pig teammates!Li Ke is about to die of anger, can you have pity on him who "bereaved his mother"?This is your home, Yang Zhengdao!

At this time, Li Yin also came back to his senses, and shouted sharply: "Auntie!"

Li Ke was taken aback by him, fearing that something might happen to him, so he quickly grabbed him. Fortunately, Li Yin didn't want to go to the place where the corpse was parked. Li Yin grabbed Li Ke's arm and asked for help: "Three Brother, that’s not Auntie, right?”

Li Ke looked at him sadly, his eyes were dull and his lips were trembling. Part of him was really sad for Concubine Yang Shu, but he was also anxious, and he didn't know what to do if he didn't come to the rescue!

Fortunately, the rescuer came quickly - Li Chengqian came.

As soon as Li Ke heard that Li Chengqian was coming, his first reaction was to glance at him, and he happened to see Pei Xuan, who was also staring at him. Seeing this with those dark green eyes, Li Ke subconsciously Averted his gaze.

After Li Chengqian learned the truth of the matter, he also felt a little troublesome. When he received the news, he was just on fire in Xingdao, so as the prince, he came to condolences to the orphans of the previous dynasty, but when he arrived here, he found that his father's concubine was burned to death. Yes, this is troublesome.

While Li Ke sent someone to notify the palace, he also arranged for someone to restrain Concubine Yang Shu's body—saying it was a corpse. However, these three people are completely different now, and they all look the same, and they can only be distinguished from each other by jewelry.

No matter what, as an imperial concubine, Concubine Yang Shu's body can't just be exposed to the outside like this, she must restrain herself first, and then look at the regulations in the palace.

Li Yin's muddled mind was no longer clear, he only knew that he was holding Li Ke's hand tightly beside Li Ke, Pei Xuan gave Li Ke a sympathetic look, Li Ke and Li Yin were quickly taken away After leaving, this kind of place is really not suitable for children to stay, and the two Li Chengqian were also called back, and Li Ke went back with them.

When leaving here, Pei Xuan walked behind Li Chengqian like Li Ke, and he whispered to Li Ke: "You are still the same as before."

Li Ke turned his head and looked at him inexplicably, Pei Xuan had a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "If it's useless to you, you'll just throw it away, and if it's a threat to you, you'll just kill it, right?"

Li Ke didn't speak, and it's not suitable to speak at this time, should he be glad that Pei Xuan lowered his voice when he said this, so Li Yin didn't hear him?Otherwise, Li Yin doesn't know what will happen again.

Li Ke looked down at Li Yin, and found that Li Yin's eyes had lost their luster, and his whole body was in a state of emptiness. He couldn't help but sighed, carried him into the carriage, and didn't let go after he went in and sat down. Li Yin whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, Liu Lang, the third brother is here."

Li Yin's eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at Li Ke's tears streaming down his face. He choked up and asked, "Third brother, is there no one to take care of us in the future?"

Li Ke's expression was three points blank, and he said after a while: "No, we still have father, and... and wife."

Li Yin didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that it was true that Father cared about them, but Li Shimin was not only a father but also the king of a country, not to mention that he had many sons. The gap between biological and biological is always uneven.

Li Ke pressed Li Yin's head on his shoulder, and whispered, "You still have me."

Li Yin finally couldn't help but hugged immediately's waist and buried his head in his arms and started crying, crying all the way back to the palace.When he returned to the palace, Li Yin had already fallen asleep crying, and he didn't wake up even when Li Ke carried him off the carriage and returned to Ningyun Pavilion.

Now that the Ningyun Pavilion is full of gloom, the fact that Concubine Yang Shu was burned to death was not concealed, at least the people in the Ningyun Pavilion could not be concealed. When they thought that the imperial concubine he was following had passed away, those servants did not know what the future would be like. Where, many people are confused.

Of course, not all of them are despondent, at least some people still have good intentions, they actually intend to steal Concubine Yang Shu's jewelry under the pretense that Concubine Yang Shu is gone and Li Ke and Li Yin are still young!

Li Ke knew that in such a chaotic time, there would always be some people with evil minds who were uneasy in the room, so he asked Anping to temporarily raise Ningyun Pavilion as an official, and sent someone to watch over all the people in Ningyun Pavilion.

Concubine Yang Shu is not here, Li Ke is the owner of Ningyun Pavilion, and Anping has become the object of everyone's fawning, and the reason why Li Ke reuses Anping is because Anping is very able to position himself, and he will do everything Li Ke ordered. Done.

But Lu Yang stared at Li Yin, and the two servants around Li Yin were the most important. After all, Li Yin was still young, and it was easy to go wrong when there was a sudden change.

The result was as expected by Li Ke. That night Li Min developed a high fever, and Li Ke didn't sleep well. He was always thinking about how to deal with this matter and how he could get the most benefit from it.To be honest, Li Shimin has many sons. If he doesn't work hard, he will be a little transparent in front of him, probably because he knows his name.

So when the news of Li Yin's fever came, he immediately opened his eyes and woke up. Originally, these things shouldn't alarm him, but after Li Ke came back, he immediately opened up his aura and calmed down all the people in Ningyun Pavilion. The people around Li Yin did not dare to hide it, so they had to come and report to him.

At this moment, everyone forgot that Li Ke was actually only three years older than Li Yin.

Li Ke's complexion is also not good, after all, this age is just when he needs to sleep, his eyes are already bloodshot, after hearing Li Yin's high fever, he said decisively: "Lu Yang, go to Lizheng Hall to find your wife! "

At this time, he wasn't worried about disturbing Empress Changsun, after all, Concubine Yang Shu had just left, and Empress Changsun might not be asleep right now, not to mention Empress Changsun would definitely not take this risk.

Lu Yang tremblingly agreed, too many things happened today, and even they felt that one after another was a bit unacceptable.Sure enough, after a while, Lu Yang brought Bei Yu and Zhi Chang, who were beside Empress Changsun, to see Li Yin.

The person who came was an old acquaintance of Li Ke. When he was recuperating, it was this Zhichang who helped him recuperate his body. After Zhichang came over, he first saluted Li Ke. You."

Li Ke has always been very polite to these technicians. When there was a system before, Li Ke didn't care so much. Now even if Li Ke feels that his life and rest are healthy, he can't stop accidents from happening, even if he doesn't talk to these people. You can't offend even if you make good friends.

After Zhichang checked Li Yin's pulse, he said with a troubled face, "It's a heart disease."

Heart disease is different from heart disease. Frankly speaking, Li Yin’s fever is caused by emotional ups and downs. After all, he is not very old, and it is normal to encounter such a situation when he defecates. The only thing we can do now is to reduce the fever first. As for the psychological Question... There is no psychiatrist these days, and Zhichang also expressed helplessness.

After hearing this, Li Ke was silent for a while before saying, "Please trouble me to prescribe the medicine."

Li Ke is not a major in psychology, but he can still coax a child consciously, but it doesn't need to be said.Because Li Yin is a child, it is not easy to prescribe medicine, and there are many medicinal materials that children should not eat.

After Zhichang finished prescribing the medicine, Li Ke glanced at it and nodded, then turned his head and asked Anping to make the medicine. Only then did he have the time to talk to Bei Yu who had been silent.

"I'm a little flustered that elder sister You Lao ran out so late, is my lady okay?"

Bei Yu gave Li Ke a little blessing: "Your Majesty has a heart, and my wife said that if Sanlang and Liulang are not used to it, they can move to the Lizheng Hall."

Li Ke was quite moved and said: "Thank you for your concern, but Liu Lang's body may not be easy to move now, so I'd better stay and take care of him."

Bei Yu looked at Li Ke with some pity and said: "If the king has something to do, send Lu Yang to come, the lady has already ordered it."

Li Ke nodded: "When Liu Lang is well, I will take him to thank you."

Bei Yu comforted Li Ke for a few more words before leaving. Li Ke looked around, sighed and said, "You guys discuss shift breaks, I'll stay here tonight."

He wanted to look at his younger brother, but Lu Yang persuaded him very worriedly: "Your Majesty, you should go and rest, we are here."

Li Ke sighed softly: "Forget it, I won't be able to sleep even if I go back, so I'd better stay and take care of Liu Lang."

If he can still sleep after such a big thing happened, it would be too heartless. Although he can indeed sleep, he has to show it no matter what. When will we wait?

Of course, he is also really worried about Li Yin. He feels somewhat guilty towards Li Yin. No matter what the purpose of his fight with Concubine Yang Shu is, Li Yin is innocent from the beginning to the end. , and his conscience will be condemned.

After the medicine was ready, Anping brought it in carefully, and Guo Cuo, who was beside Li Yin, took it and wanted to feed Li Yin.

I just don’t know why, but Li Yin’s teeth were clenched tightly. Guo Zhu tried many methods but failed to feed the medicine. I remember that he was sweating profusely. By the side, he...he didn't dare.

Although Li Ke is not very old, Guo Cui is inexplicably afraid of Li Ke.

Li Ke reached out to take the medicine bowl in Guo Cuo's hand and said, "I'll do it."

After Guo Zhu handed it over, he carefully wiped the shout on his head. Anping gave him a look of contempt, and the meaning probably conveyed was: waste wood, and my king will take action in the end.

Guo Cui felt bitter and couldn't tell. Would he dare to be disrespectful to Liu Lang in front of Li Ke?That's right, the two of them don't have their own mothers now, but in terms of etiquette, they still have a aunt, and in everyone's eyes, the aunt is their mother, and Concubine Yang Shu is nothing at all!

So even if this is the case, you can't bully them without winking, not to mention... Li Ke is the most favored among Li Shimin's many sons, so you have to be careful when watching people order dishes.

After Li Ke finished the medicine bowl, he signaled Guo Zhu to help Li Yin up. Li Yin's pretty face was full of pain now. Li Ke sighed and stretched out his hand. As soon as he pressed it, Li Yin's mouth opened automatically.

Li Ke carefully fed the medicine spoon by spoon, feeling very sympathetic to his younger brother.

It's not that he hasn't drunk this medicine before, it's very bitter. Fortunately, Li Yin is already unconscious, otherwise, according to his brother's pampering, he might have to forcefully suppress him if he wants to finish feeding this bowl of medicine safely.

It took a while to feed a bowl of medicine, and the last spoonful of medicine was put into Li Min's mouth. Li Ke was really relieved, and he handed the empty bowl to Anping and said, "Okay, you don't have to stay here anymore. , go to take turns to rest, don't shout when no one agrees."

Anping and Luyang quickly said: "We will stay with the king."

Naturally, Guo Zhu couldn't say that he was leaving. After all, the one who is sick now is his boss. Li Ke looked at Anping and the others with a slight smile and said, "Okay, you have a heart, so don't be like this. If you don't have the energy, how can you help me later?" ?”

Li Ke glanced at Guo Zhu and said, "You go too, discuss with Anping and the others, and come in rotation."

His Royal Highness King Wu is a good man. Guo Zhu is really grateful. To be honest, he is exhausted. They are naturally worried about such a big thing. However, after all, he is just a servant, and he is still with the two princes. Concubine Yang Shu's death didn't have a particularly big impact on them, so they weren't that worried.

Seeing that Li Ke persisted in this way, Anping and Guo urged them to leave after looking at each other, leaving only Li Ke to accompany Li Yin. Although Li Yin was a child, his bed was not too small. I moved inside and lay down on it.I don't know if Li Ke's body temperature is relatively low, so Li Yin turned over and hugged Li Ke.

Li Ke patted him on the back soothingly, knowing that the child probably didn't sleep well, but under his comfort, Li Ke's breathing gradually became denser and longer.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Ke got up. He touched Li Ke's forehead and found that it was still a little hot, but it was much better, so he quietly went out to go back to his room to wash up. As soon as he went out, he saw that the person waiting outside was actually the person who was with Concubine Yang Shu before.

After the initial surprise, Li Ke understood what these people were thinking. It was nothing more than the fact that the previous boss had died and he needed to find a new boss. If they performed well, it would not be impossible for them to stay and continue to follow the two princes. , so now it's all competing for performance.

Li Ke didn't say anything, and after taking a hasty shower, he went back to give Li Yin some medicine.Today's Li Yin was more cooperative than yesterday, but he still didn't wake up. Li Shimin happened to come over when Li Ke was feeding Li Yin the medicine.

Li Shimin came here after the morning court. After seeing Li Ke's haggard face, he couldn't help feeling very sorry for him. His son has been in a lot of trouble recently.

It's just that Li Shimin didn't comfort Li Ke, but instead asked, "How is Liu Lang?"

"It's not too hot anymore, but I haven't woken up yet." Li Ke didn't delay feeding the medicine when he spoke.

Li Shimin watched quietly where he was feeding the medicine, and asked after Li Ke finished his work, "What are you going to do?"

Li Ke looked at Li Shimin in surprise, did he let himself make up his mind?

Seeing Li Ke's surprised look, Li Shimin couldn't help but dragged his son over and touched his head and said, "Don't think too much, you are still my sons. You are not very old now, and according to the principle, you should be handed over to the lady. It's just me. I also want to hear what you think."

His third son is very precocious, maybe it should be said that he can't face such a mother without precocity.

After hearing this, Li Ke said quickly: "Of course I am willing to let the lady take care of it, but Jiulang is young now, we don't want to disturb the lady and let her worry, not to mention... Liulang is afraid that he has a knot in his heart, so he has to teach him what to do." Just be smarter."

Li Shimin squeezed the back of his son's neck and said: "In this case, you should stay in Ningyun Pavilion for now, but if you lack anything, you can go directly to the lady to ask for it, if someone who is not good-looking dares to neglect you, don't be soft. "

Li Ke was quite moved. Sure enough, with Li Shimin, the favored son and the unfavored son are treated differently!

Li Ke forced a smile and said: "We are father's sons, who dares to bully us without eyes?"

How not?Isn't it rare for an unfavored prince to be bullied?Li Shimin knew in his heart that's why he said that, but he can intervene in these matters, but he can't control them too much. If he manages too much, it will be clear that he doesn't trust Empress Changsun, which is not good for the harmony of the harem.

Li Shimin comforted Li Ke, left a bunch of rewards and left. This time the rewards continued Li Shimin's previous style, they were food and medicinal materials, and they were very considerate.

Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shimin spoke, so although the two of them are still in the care of Empress Changsun, they don't have to live too close to Empress Changsun. Ningyun Pavilion is very good and impartial. He has no idea of ​​moving .

After Li Shimin left, there was no difference. Instead, he met Xiao Shi.He has a lot of questions to ask, yes, even if Concubine Yang Shu's death seems to have been accidental, but these accidents are too coincidental, just as he doesn't believe that Li Ke is an impostor, he also doesn't believe that Concubine Yang Shu died Really died by accident.

Xiao seemed to have long thought that Li Shimin would come back and ask her, so she looked at Li Shimin calmly and asked, "What else does the sage want to know?"

Li Shimin frowned: "I want to know everything."

"You do not believe?"

"I do not believe."

Xiao Shi sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you."

Li Shimin's face turned cold: "Then please tell me, Ma'am, what did my concubine Shu do to warrant such a death?"

Although he doesn't feel very cold towards Concubine Yang Shu in his heart, Li Shimin absolutely does not tolerate others killing his own woman casually. Otherwise, if they dare to kill the concubine now, they will dare to kill the queen and even the emperor in the future!

Xiao looked at Li Shimin and gave him an irrefutable reason.

There are only two words for that reason: "Disobedience!"
