Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 43 Angry

The plan went well.

After Li Lijun went to the mourning hall for three consecutive days to kneel down and chant sutras for his mother Chen, the gossip about Xiao Yang's attempt to obtain the dowry of the royal family had already spread within the Sui Palace and the circle of the clan's female relatives.

Naturally, it also reached the ears of King Sui.

Sure enough, the king of Sui was furious.He specifically asked Concubine Dou about the authenticity of several things.Concubine Dou had been informed by Li Lijun a long time ago, and she herself had experienced it herself, so she naturally told the whole situation that she knew - she didn't need to add details, she just needed to slightly distort the target that Xiao Yang bought the maid of the East Court to steal , it can prove the "truth" of the rumor.

By the way, she also filled in a loophole for Li Lijun: "The gossip is flying around in the palace now, and I have checked myself. At first, it was Li Niang's mother who was upset by Xiao Yang's plot, but it was hindered by the heir. I couldn't get justice for Li Niang, so I complained several times in private, but I didn't mention it to outsiders. It's just that Jin Ruren and Erlang's wife sent people to them to find out about it, and even Cang Niang who was next to Ah Jian also went to inquire about it. . Most of the news leaked from them."

Jin Ruren and Huang's family can only be regarded as additions, and Li Jianrang's wet nurse Cang Niangzi is the name that Princess Dou wants to emphasize.In this way, the whole thing is that Li Jian made the loyal servants left by the big Yang around him feel revenge on the little Yang who tried to murder the son of his sister-in-law.Li Jianrang is naturally a good boy who is gentle, kind and filial, but the attendants around him can't stand the good boy being bullied and keep silent!

King Sui sighed, and the thought of feeling sorry for his eldest grandson immediately gained the upper hand: "It's not easy for Ah Jian... He has grown up so much, and he has always loved his aunt. You have never been sincere, and you still want to kill him?" In the final analysis, it is Xiao Yang's fault!Not only did she slander and confuse the heir king with her color, but she also harbored delusional thoughts, eating inside and outside... Such a woman is the root of the chaos in the family!Never keep her any longer!
Although King Sui has always loved worshiping Buddha and is recognized as a kind and benevolent elder of the clan, he has never softened his heart towards people he dislikes.

After all, his surname was Li, and he came from a royal family that never lacked intrigue and bloody battles.

He first sent someone to inform the Yang family, and then ordered his confidantes to send a message to his son Li Dai.That's my son's concubine, it's better for my son to deal with it himself.He wanted to see if Li Dai was really as lustful as the rumors said, and had been bewildered by Xiao Yang to the point where he couldn't tell right from wrong.If the situation is not optimistic, he has to spend his time educating his son.

It's really troublesome... He has already discussed with the eminent monks he has made friends with, and he will start construction this autumn to build a new Buddhist temple in Chang'an City and do a lot of merit.The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, took care of many trivial matters for him, and now the eldest daughter-in-law was suddenly murdered, and someone also tried to seize her dowry, which almost ruined his grand plan.Even if the building of the temple can be carried out normally, who will worry about the many trivial matters for him?He already had enough headaches, but his son and his concubine were going to add trouble to him, and the eldest grandson's health was not good, it was extremely worrying!
The Sui king sighed and told his wife: "Ah Jian has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and I don't know if he is too tired to kneel in the mourning hall. I advised him to take a rest, but he refused to listen, saying that it was all he could do for his stepmother. This is the last chance for filial piety. I can't stop my child from being filial, but I can't watch him get sick. The medicine prescribed by the medical officer in the mansion is not less, but the children don't get better. I'd better go outside and invite a good doctor to come and treat him. Let's check Ah Jian's pulse. Let's take a look at Li Niang as well. I saw her in the mourning hall yesterday, and her complexion has obviously improved, but today she went back weak and pale, is it because the medicine she took is not right?"

Concubine Dou was actually quite bored with Li Lijun's pale and weak state from time to time.Looking at the appearance of the two nuns Cui Lu, Mrs. Shao and others, she seemed to be very worried about Li Lijun's body, so she probably wasn't pretending.When Li Lijun met Li Chujun in the mourning hall today, the latter thought that her face was covered with powder, so he touched her face heavily with his hands, but no powder came off, which directly proved that Li Lijun's complexion was really pale as paper.

Li Chujun was stopped by the concubine of Jiyin County who happened to be present at that time, and she was taught not to bully her sister.Li Chujun lost face and became angry from embarrassment, but the little sister was really weak and not pretending, and it seemed that she was making trouble for no reason, and there was no reason to attack at all.In the end, under the persuasion of her elder brother Li Jianrang, she reluctantly apologized to Li Lijun, then turned around and ran away.

Concubine Dou guessed that Li Lijun's physical condition should still be able to support, but the previous injury caused her to lose too much blood, so her face looked paler.But a weak and injured nine-year-old girl went to the cold mourning hall to kneel and recite scriptures for three consecutive days. Tianxia only turned pale, her injuries didn't get worse, and she didn't get any new illnesses, which showed how good her health was.

In contrast, Li Jianrang knelt near the entrance of the mourning hall for a few days, and then he became dizzy, had a stuffy nose and a runny nose, and was weak all over. He looked more like a weak patient than his little sister.

Concubine Dou said to King Sui: "The last time the imperial doctor came to take Ah Jian's pulse, didn't the prince say that his pulse was very good? The diagnosis was clearer than other doctors. Why don't you invite the imperial doctor? Good doctors outside are not easy. Look, the one in our palace is pretty good, otherwise, the successor princess would not have invited people to the mansion to worship, but there is still nothing to do with Ah Jian's body."

King Sui thought about it too, and sighed: "Then I will write the book to the palace, and ask the saint for grace." If the elder brothers were still there in the past, and the elder brother was protecting him, in fact, he would not need to be so cautious.But now he can't be careful.Today's third brother is no different than before, he only loves to be close to the imperial concubine and the brothers and sisters of the Yang family, and is much indifferent to his own children, let alone the clan.If he really annoyed the third brother, there would be no elder brother who could protect him.

King Sui went to the study to write the memorial, but as he wrote it, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

He missed the time when his elder brothers were still there. At that time, the third elder brother was still very kind to him, caring about his health all the time, and often rewarding him. Whenever there was a banquet, he would definitely be called to him.Because he was seriously ill when he was young, he couldn't be treated in time, and the root cause of the disease fell. He was weaker than his elders. He couldn't drink freely, and he had to be careful about his diet. He stayed in the palace all day and would be sick for a few days.It's such a trouble, and none of the elder brothers have ever disliked him, and they would send someone to bring him something delicious and fun if they encountered it on weekdays.

Why did those good times die so early?

If he had known that today would be the day when Empress Zhenshun framed Crown Prince Ying and Kings E and Guang, he would not have spoken justice for his nephews.The third elder brother was so cruel that he could kill three of his own sons just because of a few slanderous words.Even if he is willing to be a father, why should his uncle be so troublesome?Now that there is such a commotion, in front of his elder brother, he is not as effective as a few foreign relatives.

King Sui sighed, feeling even more depressed.At this moment, Li Dai, the heir king, hurried over, and asked his father directly, "Aye, Aying is my son's concubine, and she gave birth to Sanniang and Shiro for her, and Dalang and Dalang. The aunt brought her up and worked hard. How could Aye put her to death just because of a few rumors?!"

King Sui was in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he was furious: "She has done so many shameful things, even your wife was killed by her, shouldn't she be punished?! She wants to kill your son, where did she come from?" Her hard work?! Have you been stunned by her?!"
