Datang's journey to death

Chapter 68

Although Li Ke still had the idea of ​​marrying a girl with a good family background to help him, he has completely dispelled this idea after going out for a day. He will also try his best to destroy it, and there are too many secrets between him and Pei Xuan. Back then when Pei Xuan was the system, others couldn't see it and it was easy to cover it up. Now it's better to be careful.

Li Ke came back to his senses and pretended to be shy and asked: "It's all up to my father and mother to decide, but what about elder brother?"

How could Li Chengqian get married before he was married?If the order is really crossed, I'm afraid that there will be another disturbance in the court, so I hope that Li Shimin's head is not hot-headed for a while, but Empress Changsun is still there, so this kind of thing should not happen.

Li Shimin said with a little reassurance: "Just to inform you first, my wife and I have won Xiao Jing's young daughter, what do you think to tell Dad."

Although these days it was the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, both the man and the woman knew nothing before marriage. Even if the royal family wanted to marry someone, the woman's father had to agree, especially if the other party was the top family member Xiao Shi.

Xiao Jing's young daughter... what the fuck, Li Ke is terrified, where is his cousin Yang?That's right. In history, Li Ke's first concubine was the Yang family. She was a cousin who had been married to Li Ke for five years. It's just the end of the crane in the ranks of the big family.

However, Li Ke's second concubine is the Xiao family, but she is not a direct descendant of the Xiao family, and she is still a concubine, after all, she is a step-concubine.It's just that now Li Shimin chose Li Ke's eldest daughter Xiao Yu's elder brother Xiao Jing's first-born daughter as soon as he made a move. Among other things, this background is suitable for being a crown princess, and Li Ke remembered that this little girl had indeed competed for the position of crown princess. But in the end, he lost to Su Quan's eldest daughter, Su Shi.

Of course, the Su family is no worse than the Xiao family, but Li Ke never thought that one day he might get a princess from the Xiao family in Lanling, which is a bit exciting.

Li Shimin looked at Li Ke's wide-eyed surprised look and looked at Empress Changsun. He was a little confused about Li Ke's thoughts, and finally decided to exercise his parents' sovereignty: "Okay, this matter is settled like this. After Dalang marries his concubine, it will be is you."

Li Ke adjusted his expression: "Yes." Although he didn't want such a concubine, it was not a good choice to contradict Li Shimin face to face. There were many ways to get married, and he could go back and study it carefully.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Ke's obedience, so he asked him to bring back a bunch of rewards--God knows that because of the previous victory, Li Shimin added a full [-] real seals to Li Ke when he was happy. It was added to him in bits and pieces over the past few years. He now has about [-] households, which can be said to be the most among the princes.

After Li Ke returned to his palace, he thought about it for a while and felt that he needed to vent his anger on Pei Xuan, otherwise Pei Xuan would find out about it from somewhere and lose his temper with him, he would be really wronged up.

So Li Ke still didn't take the usual way to climb over the wall, and Pei Xuan was not surprised, he was hiding in his yard practicing kung fu, and the life of pretending to be disabled even though his leg was already healed was really not ordinary people's life.

"You have something to say." Obviously it should be an interrogative sentence, but Pei Xuan said it out in an affirmative tone.

Li Ke hesitated for a moment. This matter has not been confirmed yet and there should be room for reversal. He is not sure whether to speak out now, and he thinks he should be able to solve it.

"Don't be so hesitant, it will give me a bad feeling." Pei Xuan stopped what he was doing, walked up to Li Ke, reached out and pinched his chin and lifted it up: "What the hell is going on?" thing?"

Feeling Pei Xuan's slightly cold fingers, Li Ke frowned and said, "Have you been a little weak lately? I'll go to Zhichang later and prescribe some medicine for your body."

Practice can speed up blood circulation, but Pei Xuan's hands are a little cold in this situation. It seems that although those medicines made his wounds heal quickly, he was still seriously injured.

Pei Xuan lowered his head and leaned into Li Ke's ear and said ambiguously, "Is it because I am weak, you can feel it yourself?"

With a fever in his ears, Li Ke stretched out his hand and pushed Pei Xuan: "What kind of hooligans are you playing in broad daylight?"

"Who said that you can't play hooligans during the day?" Pei Xuan said while making an inch, stopped Li Ke's waist with his other hand and took him into his arms. Show what is called hooliganism.

Although he felt the blood in his body rushing to his face, Li Ke still said very calmly: "Don't you want to know why I came to you?"

Pei Xuan said vaguely: "I didn't gag your mouth, if you want..."

Li Ke couldn't bear it anymore: "Father has already chosen the princess for me."

Very well, this sentence finally made Pei Xuan stop his movements, and quickly let go of Li Ke.As soon as Li Ke looked up, he saw Pei Xuan staring at him unkindly, his dark green eyes looked a little indifferent: "Oh? Who is it?"

Li Ke didn't doubt at all that if he revealed the other party's identity, Pei Xuan would do everything possible to kill that person, so he just looked at Pei Xuan helplessly and said, "It's just that the candidate has been chosen. Don't be so nervous, please? Calm down. juvenile."

Pei Xuan raised her eyebrows: "I'm about to be pried into the corner of the wall, you let me calm down?"

"So I'm here to find you? Let's think about how to solve it?"

Li Ke looked up at Pei Xuan, who was a head taller than him, and saw Pei Xuan's face melting like ice, revealing a bright smile: "I knew you liked me."

? ? ? ?Li Ke looked at him in a daze: "This topic changed a little quickly, how did you come to such a conclusion?"

Pei Xuan raised his eyebrows: "According to how much the sage loves you, the woman's family background must be extraordinary. If it were another time, you should be very happy instead of coming to me to discuss how to not marry her, right?"

Li Ke opened his mouth, but then closed it weakly. What you said was so reasonable that I was speechless.

Pei Xuan shook Li Ke's hand and said, "Okay, since you didn't refute it, it's acquiescing, and the three-day deadline hasn't passed, and I'm very satisfied with that."

Li Ke was passively pulled into the room by him and said weakly: "I didn't admit it."

But Pei Xuan asked as if he didn't hear it: "Okay, now we can tell who the woman is."

Li Ke didn't go back and forth on this question anymore. If there are two options for a question that make you unable to choose, then you can try to choose one of them, and the answer will come out at that time.Now Li Ke is like this, between the two options of being with Pei Xuan and marrying a wife, he subconsciously ruled out the latter option, then the answer is already obvious, and there is no need to think about it at all.

Li Ke still hasn't thought about why he feels that he wants to be with Pei Xuan, after all, the other party's character is very...bad, um, this word can be used to describe it.

such as……

"Let me ask you again, what's the matter with your demented expression?" Pei Xuan was obviously dissatisfied with Li Ke's distraction, and reached out to pinch his face.

Li Ke slapped Pei Xuan's hand off expressionlessly, thinking that the fact that he once thought Pei Xuan was gentle was probably because he really didn't wake up.

"Father chose Xiao Jing's first daughter."

After hearing this, Pei Xuan turned his head and said in surprise: "The saint treats you really..." He frowned: "Lanling Xiao, it's not easy to deal with."

Li Ke tried hard to pull himself out of Pei Xuan's arms, but Pei Xuan's strength was obviously not weakened because of his injury. In the end, he could only give up on himself and let Pei Xuan wrap his arms around his waist from behind, in a very inelegant manner. posture sitting on the Hu bed.

"Wake up, even if it's not the Lanling Xiao clan, no matter who they choose, they won't be easy to deal with." Li Ke rolled his eyes. Pei Xuan is the heir to the main branch, but now he is completely incapable of being the patriarch. The relationship with Pei Xuan is very delicate, they are all staring at his title, but they don't want to listen to his leadership.

Those older people are definitely not willing to fight against a family that can marry into an imperial family just because of Pei Xuan's unfounded reason.

"That's not sure, I always have a way." Pei Xuan rubbed Li Ke's face, which reminded Li Ke that this was his favorite action when he was a cat.

Thinking of this, Li Ke couldn't help but smile slightly: "But treating the symptoms is not the root cause, can you still kill all the little ladies who may become my princess?"

Pei Xuan pursed his lips and said nothing, he also knew it was impossible, not to mention that even if it was true, he would not kill someone.

Li Ke was silent for a while and said: "Actually... there is no need to rush this matter. After all, I'm afraid... we all have to keep our filial piety."

Pei Xuan was stunned for a moment, then asked immediately as if thinking of something: "The Supreme Emperor?"

Li Ke nodded slowly but firmly, Pei Xuan pinched Li Ke's chin and turned his face away, "I thought you asked Li Chengqian for so much money to prepare for this."

He thought... Li Ke would want to save Li Yuan, did he misunderstand?But no matter what, he really wanted to save Li Yuan.

Li Ke seemed to know what Pei Xuan was thinking, and sighed: "I think so too, but Empress Changsun can be saved because she died of illness, but Ah Weng... Ah Weng is too old, we can't help it Reverting his bodily functions back to how he was when he was younger, you know what I mean?"

Of course Pei Xuan understood, and it was precisely because of understanding that he was distressed. He thought for a long time but could not think of any way to save Li Yuan.

"What's more, he has a knot in his heart, and his current life doesn't make him happy."

Although it's a bit hypocritical to say so, it doesn't mean that you can be happy when you achieve material life. The deaths of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are still a scar on Li Yuan's heart. When he saw Li Shimin's scar, he felt a dull pain, so he could only reduce the amount of time he saw. Li Shimin's time, and Li Shimin... Everyone knows that he has resentment towards Li Yuan to some extent. Although this resentment has lessened as he aspires to the throne, how can the rift be so easily repaired?

Pei Xuan was silent for a while before saying sullenly: "I haven't seen him since I came back."

Compared with Pei Ji, Li Yuan is more like a father to Pei Xuan. Perhaps Pei Xuan's appearance gave Li Yuan some comfort. Anyway, the old and the young, who have been hurt by their family members, found some comfort in each other.

"Don't worry, you will be fine soon, and then you can go to the palace to see Ah Weng. Regarding Li Chengqian, I think you should have more confidence than me."

"You are jealous for no reason."

Li Ke turned his head and looked at Pei Xuan with an unreasonable expression: "Where did you see that I was jealous? I am stating the facts."

Pei Xuan smiled: "Okay, don't argue, I know it's because you like me."

Li Ke: I really want to beat him up, but what should I do if his legs are healed but he can't?

Seeing Li Ke's angry and unable to refute, Pei Xuan smiled heartily, then hugged him into his arms and kissed him happily.

Li Ke hesitated for a while and didn't resist him, but soon he felt something was wrong - who can tell him why Pei Xuan's kissing skills are so good?Li Ke never thought that one day he would be kissed by a man until his face was flushed and he was out of breath. He looked at Pei Xuan with moist eyes: "Tell me, how many people have you kissed?"

Pei Xuan had an insulted expression on his face: "I've only kissed you once."

"Where are you lying to ghosts?" Li Ke said mockingly: "Your skills have caught up with Hua Cong's veteran."

"Can I take this as your compliment to me?" Pei Xuan rubbed Li Ke's head and said triumphantly, "As long as I want, I can learn anything I want to learn."

"Including kissing?"

"Including but not limited to kissing." Pei Xuan looked at him maliciously: "I think you can also experience other aspects."

"But I really want to know where you got the information?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "I don't remember downloading this thing at all." Although he learned a lot in class, the information He would only download part of it to his system after accepting the task. His graduation exam was placed in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, male-female love must not be the mainstream of society. It is impossible for him to download this part.

Pei Xuan looked calm: "Yue Wu gave it to me."

Li Ke was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was a system with a good relationship with Pei Xuan, and his forehead twitched: "What kind of friends do you make?"

"I think it's good, at least it can make you comfortable."

"Wait, I think there are some issues we need to discuss, I think..."

"There's nothing to discuss, you can't beat me anyway."

Li Ke...was speechless again. His answer was to get up and climb over the wall and return to Wu Wangfu along the original road. more proficient."

Who should be proficient in this!Li Ke angrily jumped down from the wall just in time to meet Anping's terrified eyes, so Li Ke switched to the prince mode in a second, raised his chin slightly and said, "You should know what to say and what not to say." Anping immediately lowered his head Pretending not to see anything, Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.

Li Chengqian's efficiency is indeed very high, and I don't know what method he used to make the eldest grandson's side branch withdraw his confession!When Li Ke learned the news, he happened to be a guest at Li Tai's house, and Li Tai was so angry that he almost overturned the case in front of him.

Li Ke raised his eyelids: "Why are you so excited?"

"Changsun Huan is simply a waste! How can such a sure thing be messed up!" Li Tai found angrily that he seemed to have a pig teammate by his side.

Regarding this, Pei Xuan sneered and said: "As long as it is not really invulnerable, we will be able to find loopholes, not to mention that this matter itself is their manipulation, oh, using money and official career to seduce that family? Want to let Li Chengqian say it His words are much more useful than that of Changsun Huan."

After a pause, he added: "Perhaps you can also tell Li Tai that soon he won't have to face such a pig teammate. After all, Changsun Huan is going to die soon."

After Li Ke gave Pei Xuan the last dose of medicine, he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be so childish, boy, oh, you are not a boy anymore, you should be a youth."

Pei Xuan didn't hug Li Ke and didn't let go. He looked at the bronze mirror and was satisfied to find that his face was almost healed: "This money is not in vain."

"Allow me to remind you that you are currently in negative equity."

Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke calmly: "I have told you that I promise you with my body."

Li Kexin wiped his face tiredly, and found that he probably couldn't compare to Pei Xuan if he was shameless, and he didn't know where his system learned these things. He must protest to the owner of Yuewu later.

Pei Xuan's grievances were cleared up, and by the way, he also tricked the gang in Sanchuan County who cheated inside and out - it was not very easy to trace the matter to Changsun Huan, and they didn't want to make too much trouble, so they made the matter It was suppressed within the scope of a county, but even so, Chang Sun Huan was so frightened that he didn't go out for several days.

"I'm going to Da'an Palace, are you going?"

Li Ke hesitated for a moment but shook his head: "You go, Ah Weng probably has something to say to you alone."

Pei Xuan didn't force Li Ke to go with him, but just patted his head and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Li Ke rolled his eyes and turned his head back to his palace, well, he didn't have to climb the wall this time, after all, Pei Xuan had been lifted from the restraint.

It's just that he was worried about Pei Xuan. After Pei Xuan came back from the curfew, he couldn't help but came over to take another look, only to find that Pei Xuan's expression was obviously not very good.

"You... what's wrong with you?" Li Ke was taken aback. If he hadn't heard the death knell, he would really have thought that Pei Xuan had witnessed Li Yuan's death.

Pei Xuan looked at Li Ke and sighed: "It's nothing, I just... didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor actually left most of his things to me."

After hearing this, Li Ke said, "That's all?"

"This makes me unbelievable." Pei Xuan lowered his eyes. The kindness he has received since he became a human is pitifully small. He followed Li Yuan back then because Li Yuan could protect him. He really has no feelings for Li Yuan. So deep, he originally thought that Li Ke should be the most favored by Li Yuan.

"I don't understand, why did the Supreme Emperor do this?"

"Why not? Although you are not on my family tree, everyone knows that you are Ah Weng's adopted son." Speaking of this, Li Ke's expression was a little subtle. Pei Xuan was a generation older than him. Although he was not related by blood, The adopted son is also a son, he suddenly found out that he was incest with his uncle?What the hell.

Pei Xuan was obviously still a little dazed, and he said after a while: "There is one more serious problem." Pei Xuan raised his head and looked at Li Ke and said, "The Supreme Emperor said that he has already chosen a wife for me."

Li Ke was not surprised by this: "You are four years older than me. Many people who are as old as you can even have children. If you hadn't kept your filial piety, you might have been forced to marry. Well, let's talk about it." who is it?"

Pei Xuan's face was horrible: "Mr. Yang."

Li Ke raised his eyebrows and turned to look at him: "Could it be the Yang family I know?"

Pei Xuan looked at him and nodded slowly, a mocking smile appeared on Li Ke's face: "Very good, ape dung."

It's still a damned fate, the Yang family who was supposed to be Wu Wangfei is going to become the wife of Hedong County, this is a bit of a joke.

"Now you can only procrastinate."

"I'm afraid it won't work. I rejected Mrs. Wu before. It seems that this time Mrs. Yang wants to refuse again. The Supreme Emperor means to let the lady help me prepare for the marriage right away. He...he is worried that he will not live to see me The day you get married and have children." Pei Xuan frowned, he was rarely so distressed.

However, facing the old man's expecting eyes, Pei Xuan found that he could not reject him as ruthlessly as he imagined.

"It's a bit of a hassle."

Pei Xuan's marriage will definitely not be more complicated than Li Ke's. After all, the title is there. The most important thing is that there is Li Chengqian in front of Li Ke. Li Chengqian is the prince, and he is going to marry the future mother of the country. It can't be done for half a year, so Li Ke can slowly find a way, but Pei Xuan doesn't need it, he doesn't need to wait for Li Chengqian to get married before going through the process.

Li Ke looked at Pei Xuan maliciously and said, "Actually, it's not completely helpless."

"Huh?" Pei Xuan looked at him warily.

"For example, if you don't lift because of an injury, maybe this excuse is enough?"

The expression on Pei Xuan's face was distorted for a moment, and then he returned to his original appearance, raised his eyelids and looked at Li Ke with a sneer: "It's a clever excuse, I really shouldn't have high expectations for your IQ .”

Li Ke looked at him in disbelief: "You actually despise my IQ? You know, I am the first in my grade! I have been the first in my grade since I entered school!"

"However, now even the bottom one has obtained the work permit of a history guide, only you have not passed the graduation exam, and you are the first in grade." Pei Xuan replied in a protracted tone that could irritate people. Li Ke.

There is no way to refute it. If time could be turned back, Li Ke would probably simply swallow that glass of poisoned wine instead of choosing to use a loophole to go back!

Li Ke turned his head and left angrily. He shouldn't have worried about Pei Xuan. Seeing that he was still mocking himself, he knew that he must have a solution. If there is no solution...well, what if there is no solution?After returning to the palace, Li Ke began to think about this issue. He found that he could not accept his system suddenly becoming another woman's man.

Well, the point is... Pei Xuan belongs to him!Li Ke suddenly felt very angry after realizing it. This problem must be solved, and it must be solved once!Otherwise, there will always be women in succession waiting for them to deal with.

But when Li Ke was thinking of a solution in distress, bad news came from the palace over there: Li Yuan is going to die!

Li Ke jumped up at that time: "How is it possible?!"

He knew that Li Yuan died in this year. Of course, because of the super high "tacit understanding" between him and Pei Xuan, the history of time and space has been messed up, so it is not surprising that the date is not accurate, but this morning Pei Xuan also went to see Li Yuan, if Li Yuan was really terminally ill, he would definitely tell himself, instead of pretending nothing happened!

Li Shimin's regular attendant, An Ran, sweated all over his face and said, "The Supreme Emperor fell while taking a walk not long ago, and as a result..."

Li Ke's face turned pale. It was so sudden. He calmed down and asked Anping to give Cong'an some copper coins, and then said: "Do you still want to inform others? If you don't need it, just wait for me. Change your clothes and go right away."

Cong An shook his head, and Li Ke asked An Ping to bring him a cup of hot tea, and by the way, also passed a few cups of hot tea to the little eunuchs behind Cong An.

Seeing that it was about to fall into the night, the winter night was the coldest, and it only warmed up a little after drinking a cup of tea from An, and then I saw that His Highness King Wu, who is very much loved by today's saints, was wearing a pure white sable fur. The color is also plain, and the face is even paler against the background of the clothes.

After tidying up his clothes, Li Ke asked, "Have you sent someone to notify the county magistrate of Hedong?"

Cong'an hesitated and shook his head: "The sage didn't give an order."

Li Ke paused and said, "Anping, go and inform the Duke of Hedong County to let him enter the palace with me. Ah Weng will want to see him."

Cong An did not stop Li Ke, but Anping glanced at Cong An with some anxiety, but obediently went to inform him.Pei Xuan got the news too late, and it was too late to prepare the carriage, so he directly boarded Li Ke's car.

Although the heater in the carriage was on so that the small space was not cold, Pei Xuan felt chills all over his body, as if his whole heart was sinking continuously. He and Li Ke both predicted Li Yuan's death, but neither of them I thought that this day would come so fast.

Just as the carriage carrying the two of them drove all the way to the gate of the palace, the dull sound of the death knell sounded in the imperial city.
