Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Li Chengqian has never been in such a mess since he was reborn. He actually sprayed a table full of tea. Looking at Pei Xuan, he said: "Wait a minute, I may not have heard clearly just now, what did you say? Say it again?"
Pei Xuan looked at him seriously and said, "I plan to be with Li Ke."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath, and for a moment he felt a fire burning from his heart to his brain, his whole mind was a little confused, the teacup in his hand cracked because of his too much force, Pei Xuan quickly rescued the teacup— — If the prince is injured here, maybe there will be another rumor.
He told himself to calm down, he is no longer a child and can't yell at Pei Xuan how can you be with him, after all, Pei Xuan is just his ally, and allies are the kind that may break up at any time.
No, he still couldn't help it, so he stood up and pointed at Pei Xuan's nose and shouted: "Who do you like, you actually like him!"
Pei Xuan looked innocent: "I thought you already knew."
"I..." Li Chengqian was almost choked to death by him: "When did I know?!"
"Didn't you say that I was having an affair with him?" Pei Xuan's memory is very good, as long as he thinks he can remember anything said by the person opposite.
Li Chengqian looked as if he was about to breathe fire, what a hell, he thought, back then he was just making fun of him casually, even though he didn't know what enmity between Pei Xuan and Li Ke, he knew that Pei Xuan hated Li Definitely.
After going out and tossing around for a while, hate begets love after coming back?You are fucking kidding me!Panting heavily, Li Chengqian walked back and forth in the room twice, then turned his head and grabbed Pei Xuan and said, "Let's go, let's go find Li Ke!"
Pei Xuan looked at him expressionlessly: "Please take care of the cripple."
Seeing Li Chengqian's current state, Pei Xuan estimated that he would beat Li Ke to death in a few minutes, and Li Ke was still injured, so he couldn't let Li Chengqian go.
Li Chengqian sneered shortly: "If you don't go, I will!"
He wanted to see how attractive Li Ke was, and he was able to seduce Pei Xuan. It's really not enough to express his current mood.
Fuck, let him rush directly to Prince Wu's mansion, wouldn't sparks hit the earth?Pei Xuan hurriedly grabbed his crutches and stood up and said, "I'd better go with you, but even if you go, you won't be able to change anything. Besides, what are you angry about? Your biggest enemy is not Li Ke, is it?"
Li Chengqian didn't answer any of Pei Xuan's questions. He just wanted to know if the biggest helper around him was going to jump camp. If he knew this, why would he throw Pei Xuan out?Originally, he wanted Pei Xuan to make trouble for Li Ke, but now it has become his trouble. This is the rhythm of wanting the meat bun to beat the dog and never return.
So Li Ke, who was lazily lying in his yard basking in the winter sun, received these two guests who didn't look too good-looking. Very plain and comfortable look.
It's just that for Li Ke, seeing Li Chengqian's angry appearance is enough to make Li Ke eat two more bowls of rice happily, so he put on a hypocritical smirk and said, "Hey, what kind of wind is this?" Has His Highness the Crown Prince blown here?"
Li Chengqian was already angry, but after seeing Li Ke's smile, he became even more angry, staring at the man viciously as if he wanted to rush up and tear him apart, Li Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Xuan , that means what did you say to him again?
Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke calmly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. If Li Chengqian finds out about this matter through other means, the consequences will definitely be worse. serious.
Seeing the flirtatious looks of these two people, Li Chengqian felt even more angry. Li Chengqian laughed angrily: "What do you think he is doing? Saburo, Saburo, I really didn't know you had such a skill."
Li Ke looked at him blankly: "Huh?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Li Chengqian said viciously, "What do you think will happen if Father knows that you want to be with Pei Xuan?"
Li Chengqian felt that he had ten thousand ways to separate these two people, but he had to ensure that he would not hurt Pei Xuan. Regardless of the relationship between him and Pei Xuan, he was reluctant to part with such a person because of Pei Xuan's mysterious ability— — Not everyone can collect the dark history of the eldest grandson's family.
Then, if Pei Xuan is not hurt, Li Ke needs to retreat. The best way is to return to the previous state. The two continue to dislike each other.Li Chengqian felt that his heart was broken, why should he worry about other people's feelings if he is not married yet?
After hearing this, Li Ke looked at Pei Xuan calmly and said, "Did you hear that? It's not that I won't promise you, but others won't let me promise you."
After hearing this, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Pei Xuan as if he had seen a ghost. He originally thought that Li Ke hooked up Pei Xuan, otherwise how could he forgive him according to the way Pei Xuan hated Li Ke?But what Li Ke meant was...Pei Xuan wanted to be with him, but Li Ke didn't agree yet?
Pei Xuan looked at Li Chengqian calmly and said: "So what I said is that I plan to be with him, not that I am already with him."
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his face being struck by lightning, now Li Chengqian felt that he probably hadn't woken up yet, but even if he hadn't woken up, the dream was a bit weird.
"Okay, I'll talk about this issue later, now sit down and have a sip of tea, let's discuss how to kill Chang Sun Huan." Li Ke rolled his eyes, thinking that it is not good to have too much conflict with Li Chengqian now, as the saying goes An enemy's enemy is a friend, and now they happen to have a common enemy, let's divert Li Chengqian's attention first.
Anyway, Li Ke doesn't really have much hatred for Li Chengqian. Even if he once came over with a glass of poisoned wine to kill him, as a history guide, he is used to not putting personal feelings into the task, although now he does not It's not counted as a task, it's mainly... just to vent your anger on Pei Xuan.
Li Chengqian mocked: "By the time you think of a way, Sun Huan will have died [-] times."
"Oh? It seems that His Royal Highness has already got a good idea, so let's talk about it." Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't intend to sit down, Li Ke simply ignored him and helped Pei Xuan to sit down.
Li Chengqian's face darkened immediately and he mocked: "Li Yuyi, have you learned all the rules in your dog's stomach?" Before he sat down, Li Ke actually dared to sit there carelessly. Lia.
Damn, you are a great prince. Believe it or not, I will abolish the prince again?Li Ke rolled his eyes in his heart, turned his head and hummed to Pei Xuan, "Xuan Jue, my leg hurts."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke in disbelief, is this guy acting like a baby?This guy is actually acting like a baby to Pei Xuan!Show some face!As a result, Li Chengqian didn't say anything and Pei Xuan immediately asked, "Why does it hurt again? Didn't the wound almost heal before?"
Li Chengqian swallowed what he hadn't said yet, almost choking himself to death.Li Ke glanced at Li Chengqian proudly, then calmly held Pei Xuan's hand who was about to take off his pants and said, "Calm down young man, there are outsiders here."
After hearing this, Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke with soft eyebrows and a smile. He felt that this sentence was enough. After all, Li Ke told him that there were outsiders, so wouldn't they be his own?
Li Chengqian's expression was like a wolf watching the meat in his den being taken away, as if he wanted to rush up and tear Li Ke at any time.
Pei Xuan followed Li Ke's gaze to look at Li Chengqian, and finally realized that his old partner was about to die of anger, so he could only say, "Gao Ming, sit down first, let's talk about this slowly."
I don't think there is anything to talk about. Although Li Chengqian thought so, he still sat down with a dark face, and Pei Xuan happened to be caught between the two of them, but there didn't seem to be any discomfort on his face. He turned to look at Li Ke talked about his thoughts.
Li Ke smiled and said repeatedly: "This method is good. Well, to be conservative, let's curse together with Changsun Wuji."
"Are you trying to kill them all?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Ke full of hostility. He didn't think Li Ke was doing this just to deal with Changsun Huan.
Li Ke glanced at him slowly and said: "The scourge will last for thousands of years, not to mention that if Changsun Wuji dies, letting Changsun Chong inherit can only be good for you, right?"
Li Chengqian was thoughtful. For him, Changsun Chong was indeed much more useful than Changsun Wuji. After all, Changsun Chong was a very upright person, and Changsun Wuji was also between satisfaction and dissatisfaction with his son.
Li Ke looked at Pei Xuan and found that this guy still cared more about Li Chengqian, so he couldn't help but sighed. He had been a deadly enemy with Li Chengqian for so many years, and he never thought that one day he would make peace with him, because of his system. Playing well with Li Chengqian, what's the matter!
So Li Ke added another sentence: "As long as the lady is alive, Changsun Wuji can't make waves."
Don't look at Empress Changsun as a woman, but she holds a lot of weight in Li Shimin's heart. With her in Changsun Wuji, it is impossible to go too far. Although it is said that Empress Changsun does not participate in political affairs, it is just that she has not talked about it publicly. As we all know, as long as Li Chengqian is still favored by Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, then there is no need to worry about Changsun Wuji.
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he stared at Li Ke with burning eyes and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Li Chengqian knew for a long time that Empress Changsun's death was approaching, so he had been very careful before, but no matter how hard he tried, Empress Changsun's health was getting worse and worse, and he still didn't understand why this happened. Li Chengqian could not make predictions, so You can only suffer by yourself.
Let Li Ke say that the body of Empress Changsun is completely related to Li Shimin who happened to be fighting in the four directions when she was pregnant with Li Chengqian. Li Ke remembered that Li Chengqian was not in good health when he was a child. , this must have something to do with Empress Changsun worrying about Li Shimin back then.
Even Li Chengqian's subsequent leg ailments seemed to be partly caused by diseases brought about by the womb. After all, neither the Li family nor the eldest grandson's family had this problem. As far as Li Ke knew, there was no record of Li Chengqian falling off his horse.
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said, "Of course I have a solution, it depends on your willingness to part with it."
After all, there are so many things that can be exchanged in the system, and it is not that difficult to cure Empress Changsun. Even taking [-] steps back can make Empress Changsun live longer.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian's face turned green and pale, and he thought of a lot for a while. Li Chengqian never thought that the reluctance mentioned by Li Ke was just a matter of money. Maybe he wanted more, for example, more The real seal of more military power and even... the crown prince.
Li Chengqian has been placed with high hopes since he was born. This can be seen from his name. It can be said that after he was born, his father regarded him as a future prince and educated him, even if he was not at that time, even he None of his fathers are princes, but that doesn't stop Li Shimin and him from staring at the seat they want.
Even Li Chengqian never thought that one day he would not be the prince, that's why he died of early depression so unbearably after he was finally abolished in the last life.
For the position of prince, Li Chengqian will instinctively protect the food, but when the position of prince conflicts with the life of the eldest grandson queen, he will also struggle, although his reason tells him that as a bastard, Li Ke can't become a concubine no matter how hard he tries. Prince, however, there will always be accidents in this world. Etiquette is just a restriction rather than a mandatory social regulation. If Li Ke thinks about it, maybe he can think of many ways, for example... the sons born to Empress Changsun were wiped out, Everyone who ascended to the position of prince either died a good death or was abolished and imprisoned. In the end, as the eldest son in name, the position of prince is not easy to grasp?
Li Chengqian stared at Li Ke gloomyly, but Li Ke was completely unmoved. Pei Xuan frowned as if disapproving, but said nothing.
After a while, Li Chengqian closed his eyes slightly and said, "What's your condition?"
He had thought about it, if he could really let Empress Changsun survive, he would not have to pay the price. After all, Empress Changsun was the warmest place in his heart. Although his father doted on him, Li Shimin was also an emperor. Doomed to be mixed with many unstable factors.
Only Empress Changsun really treated him well without any purpose, but it's a pity that Empress Changsun died early, which has to be said to be the biggest regret in Li Chengqian's heart.
Li Ke smiled slightly. Although many people thought that there was no emotion in the royal family, at least in the early days of Li Tang, Li Ke could still feel the family atmosphere in Zhizun's family. He knew that Li Chengqian must have imagined something, but even if he After making up so much, he is willing to exchange the life of Empress Changsun with the things he is most reluctant to part with. The one who really has a conscience is actually Li Chengqian.
"What do you think I need?" Li Ke changed his posture and asked lazily, leaning on the foundation.
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth: "Li Yuyi, don't push yourself too hard." He would definitely not be able to say something like handing over the prince's position to someone else. At most, Li Ke said his request and he reluctantly agreed. Of course, after the process I don't know if there will be any non-human factors in it.
But Li Ke suddenly asked: "Why do you believe so much that I can do it?"
Li Chengqian didn't have any doubts about Li Ke's words just now, which surprised Li Ke. After hearing Li Ke's questioning, Li Chengqian had the urge to walk away. Yes, he didn't doubt Li Ke. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did. Knowing that the origins of Li Ke and Pei Xuan were very mysterious, he had judged that Pei Xuan and Li Ke probably came from the same place before, and Pei Xuan had just shown him that terrifying ability.
Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to roll up his sleeves and beat someone up, Pei Xuan knocked on the table and said, "Can't you two talk less nonsense?"
Li Chengqian breathed heavily through his nose: "You should turn your head and say this to the one beside you."
Li Ke squinted: "It seems that you are not sitting next to Pei Xuan."
Li Chengqian really started to roll up his sleeves: "Li Yuyi, don't think that I dare not beat you up!"
"Oh, of course you dare. Didn't you do that last time?" Li Ke also rolled up his sleeves. To be honest, he can still compare his strength with Li Chengqian, at least he won't be suppressed unilaterally.
Just when the two of them were on the verge of blowing fire, I suddenly heard Pei Xuan say softly: "Do you two also want to relive the feeling from last time?"
last time?Li Ke and Li Chengqian thought of the scene where the two of them were thrown out the door, and suddenly had a cold war—as if they couldn't afford to lose this person.
Li Chengqian turned his head and said angrily: "Don't forget that your leg is still not healed." As a temporary cripple, Pei Xuan couldn't do it as neatly as before even if he had this idea.
Li Ke mocked: "Hey, our prince finally remembered that his good friend still had an injury on his leg. It's really rare. If you remembered earlier, I'm afraid Pei Xuan wouldn't have to walk such a long way with you gone."
Yes, although it is next door, the mansion of the two of them is big. From Pei Xuan's bedroom to the gate of the county mansion, then to the gate of King Wu's mansion, and then to the flower hall of King Wu's mansion, the distance is not short. Compared with it, it is the most convenient to climb over the wall After all, the straight line between two points is the shortest.
Li Chengqian sneered: "I don't know for whom Pei Xuanjue made this appearance, you still want to be proud here?"
Just as Li Ke was about to get off the scale and fight Li Chengqian to the death, he heard Pei Xuan say softly: "I don't need you to worry about my injury, but I think it will heal anytime, do you two want to experience it?"
As soon as Li Chengqian and Li Ke turned their heads, they saw that Pei Xuan was looking at them with contempt on his face, Li Ke glared at Li Chengqian, he had rarely received contempt from Pei Xuan recently, it was all Li Chengqian's fault!
Pei Xuan turned to look at Li Ke and said, "Pay attention to your image, Your Highness the King of Wu. Do you think the censors are too idle in your mansion to fight the prince?"
Li Ke sneered: "I'm afraid they won't succeed?"
"Oh, who made you lose your temper when you heard about Yu Shishen back then?" Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke in surprise.
Regarding this, Li Ke had no morals and said firmly: "You remember wrong!"
"Hmph." Pei Xuan rolled his eyes, and Li Chengqian who was next to him took advantage of the opportunity with malicious intentions: "Look at his appearance, he obviously doesn't pay attention to you, and ignores your words."
Before Li Ke could blow his hair, Pei Xuan turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Can you be more childish? I don't think saints and ladies can imagine that their most beloved eldest son has such a wretched expression. "
Li Chengqian was choked, and just about to say something, Pei Xuan said impatiently: "Do you two have too much time or what? Are you free here to fight with children at school? Wake up? There are so many now." What, you two don't plan to take care of it?"
Li Chengqian and Li Ke looked at each other unwillingly, but they didn't tease Pei Xuan, because Pei Xuan really dared to do it, and he could maintain his elegant demeanor in the process of doing it, it couldn't be more terrifying.
Li Chengqian cleared his throat: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I just want to ask if you really have a way to cure A Niang? As long as you can cure her, I... I can pay any price!"
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said the last sentence. Before he said this sentence, he felt in a dilemma, but after he said this sentence, he suddenly felt a burst of relief. The most difficult choice is this, but as long as he said it, Then he is ready to cash in. Of course, whether Li Ke can seize the opportunity is not something he will care about.
"Oh, I'm afraid you can't afford it." After Li Ke finished speaking, he was satisfied to see that Li Chengqian's face turned ugly again, and then said: "After all, it needs a lot of money."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Just money?"
"Otherwise? What do you think you want? Apart from money, what else do you have in exchange?" Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with contempt, and Pei Xuan, who was next to him, reached out and patted his head unbearably, warning him not to do it again. so childish.
But the surprise is that Li Chengqian didn't have any touch on his contemptuous gaze, he was busy calming his nervous emotions, tsk, worrying so much is useless, Li Ke must have misled him on purpose.
"How much do you want?" Li Chengqian was straightforward and decisive. He couldn't be short of money if he lacked anything.
Then... Li Ke said an astronomical figure.
"What did you... say?" Li Chengqian looked at him in disbelief.
Li Ke looked back blankly: "I've already said that it will cost a lot of money, do you think I'm joking with you?"
Pei Xuan sat on the side and was as quiet as a chicken. He more or less guessed what Li Ke was thinking. It was nothing more than making a fortune from Li Chengqian. If it was normal, he might stop Li Ke, but now...he still owes Li Ke money Well, it's such a sad story.
"Do you know that this money can be worth one year's tax?" For the first time, Li Chengqian knew that Li Ke's so-called a lot of money actually had so much money. Fortunately, he just felt that he was not short of money, but it was impossible without money. With so much money, even though Datang's taxation has not yet reached its peak.
Li Ke blinked at Li Chengqian: "You still have time."
Li Chengqian really wanted to bargain but felt that it was very petty to do so. He himself just said that he could pay any price. It is not good to turn around and slap himself in the face like this. However... This damn is more cheating than Li Ke asking him for the crown prince Ah, where did he get so much money?
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian's frown and thought for a while before saying, "If you can protect Pei Xuan from any impact this time, I can consider lending you some money."
Li Chengqian thought for a while and asked, "Who is the good doctor you want to hire?" Healing a disease, how can you treat a disease without a doctor?
But Li Ke said: "There is no good doctor, only good medicine, but you don't have to worry, it won't benefit me to lie to you about this matter."
"How much is the undercharge?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Li Ke closed his eyes and thought for a while and gave him a [-]% discount, but even so, it was an astronomical figure. Li Chengqian glanced at Pei Xuan and said, "I now believe that you are not wishful thinking." Then he turned to Li Ke said: "Okay, it's a deal."
Li Ke glanced at him lazily: "It's easy to leave."
Li Chengqian didn't intend to let Li Ke send him off, he just said to Pei Xuan: "Let's go, we won't delay King Wu's recovery."
Pei Xuan sat there quietly and counted the onions, ginger and garlic in the cup with his head bowed. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he found that the other party did not respond. When he saw it, he became angry for a moment. Li Ke smiled triumphantly: "I still have a relationship with Xuan Jue." We have discussed the matter, I am afraid His Royal Highness will go back alone."
Li Chengqian's answer to him was an angry back, after Li Chengqian left, Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke and asked, "Are you happy?"
Li Ke looked at him innocently: "The one who flirts first is cheap, Li Gaoming came to trouble me first."
Pei Xuan didn't care about this, he just asked: "Does what you just showed make me think that you agree to be with me?"
Li Ke's expression remained unchanged: "Did I say that?"
"Oh? So you're using me?" Pei Xuan's tone of voice was very calm, but Li Ke felt a chill behind his back for a moment. He looked at Pei Xuan and said carefully: "It's not that I don't want to promise you, It's because I haven't sorted out my own thoughts, I don't want... I don't want to agree to you for some reason, that would be irresponsible to you. "
Pei Xuan smiled mockingly: "Oh, thank you for being responsible."
Li Ke raised his hand in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I haven't considered this matter carefully in recent times. Three days, give me three days and I will definitely give you an answer, okay?"
Pei Xuan nodded and didn't say anything else, but neither of them expected that Li Shimin and Empress Changsun would call Li Ke over the next day. Li Shimin's first sentence was: "My lady and I will choose a match for you." Princess, would you like it?"
Li Ke: Damn it!
