Chapter 89 Brother and sister

Since Princess Chang assisted the government, the time when the east and west cities of Chang'an were closed has been pushed to three minutes after the sun was closed.

The setting sun was about to set, and the city gates were hit three hundred times from afar, and the two market gates were slowly closing.

Camel horse merchants and common people in the common people scattered like a tide, rushed into the alleys in Chang'an, and hurried home.

A servant with a scarf was filled with dust, squeezed out of the crowd, and lowered his head and drilled into the alley ahead.

Dongcheng City is not far from Pingkangfang. If you go up here for a few turns, you can turn left to Changlefang on the right side of Juhuangcheng.

At that time, Li Xian, the King of Luling, lived in his residence.

There is a curfew on Chang'an Eve. This time, pedestrians return home, but the servant just rushed to the road and didn't even care about knocking down a father-in-law who was pushing a cart.

The father-in-law cursed, and the servant rushed forward in deaf ears, but his right hand always protected his chest.

There was a letter hidden close to his body, which was entrusted by his master to secretly send to Changlefang.

At this time, there are many people and eyes, which are easy to avoid others, so the servant is rushing to the imperial city.

I was about to arrive at Pingkangfang in front, and I was about to arrive at Changlefang. While the servant speeded up, he was even more anxious.

A man wearing a hat came towards him, dressed in an ordinary manner. The servant had no idea and just turned his back and gave way to this person.

Passing past, the servant's heart fell. He walked a few steps quickly, but suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.

Well……

It seemed that something had bitten me, but my legs were numb immediately. The servant was shocked, but it was too late.

He fell down, his whole face as dark as carbon.

And suddenly, a venomous snake with green body emerged from his body, hissing a scarlet snake letter.

There was no one in the alley, and the servant was about to break his eyes and stared at the sky that was gradually covering the night.

The man wearing a hat quietly turned back and stood beside the dead servant.

He squatted down, stretched out his hand, and blew a low whistle, allowing the bamboo leaf green with his head raised and spitting his letter to wander on his arm.

The little snake swam along the thick hemp clothes to his waist and entered the hanging bamboo basket.

The man covered it up and began to grop on the servant.

He found the letter.

……

The terrain of Chang'an is high in the east and low in the west, and its residence is easy to be high, so most of the well-known officials are in the east and are known to be noble in the east and rich in the west.

The Ten Kings Mansion, which is dedicated to the residence of the royal family and relatives, is located in several large yards east of the imperial city, but there are exceptions, such as the King of Yu Li Dan, who is not in the Ten Kings Mansion.

As the youngest son of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu and the younger brother of the current eldest princess, he naturally received more preferential treatment.

A year ago, King Li Dan of Yu wrote a letter to request to move to Qinglongfang southeast of Chang'an on the grounds of poor health, so that he could often go to Qujiang Pool to watch the lotus and cultivate his nature.

Li Jin knew that his younger brother was in bad health and had a literary character, so he approved and agreed to hand over a vacant house in Qinglongfang to Li Dan, and the money required for rent would be borne by the court.

Therefore, King Yu moved in early summer last year.

There is a Qujiang River flowing in Qinglongfang, which can be said to be cool and remove dryness, but at this moment, King Yu cannot calm down.

In the study, the candles were brightly lit.

Li Dan was full of sorrow, his eyebrows were tightly twisted into the character "Chuan", and he walked back and forth uneasy behind his hands.

There are so many major events in recent days, apart from the rebellious Li Tong, Li Dian, who colluded with the enemy, did not mention it. The most closely related to him was the assassination.

Li Dan had no idea that his personal bodyguard would actually assassinate, and he didn't expect that the target of assassination was his own sister and nephew!

Sighing deeply, Li Dan sat dejectedly on Hu's bed, clenched his right fist and pounded the small table.

It’s a lot of calculations, but the closest guard dares to be so bold!

It shouldn't have been possible to accept him into the mansion at the beginning!

However, it was too late, and Li Dan only hoped that the messenger he secretly sent to send letters to King Luling could live up to his mission.

Now he has been temporarily confined to the assassination. His elder sister Li Jin stayed in Luoyang for a long time and did not reply. Li Dan secretly sent someone to the palace to Princess Taiping the day before yesterday, and the letter he sent to the palace city to Princess Taiping was like a mud cow entering the sea.

At this critical moment, he could only ask for help from the third brother, Li Xian, the living Luling King. He hoped that he would seek peace or go to Luoyang, and he would also ask his elder sister to save him!

From Emperor Gaozong to Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong, and finally Emperor Wu finally brazenly became emperor. After several changes in the throne of Li Tang, Li Dan never wanted to have anything to do with this bottomless vortex.

In order to survive, he once changed his name to Wu Dan. Now he has finally had a little stable life. How dare he disobey?

Who knew that this unintentional disaster was directly tied to my forehead!

Li Dan was stunned when he stared at the jade Pixiu placed on the small table with concern.

This is a jade Pixiu with green body, exquisitely carved and decorated with red agate on both eyes, which was given to him by Li Jin.

Once upon a time, the Tian family also had the ethical joy of being kind and filial to one's son, and a kind brother, and a kind brother, and a kind brother. At that time, Li Dan was still young, and his eldest brother, Li Hong, his second brother, and Li Xian and his fourth brother, Li Zhi were all still alive.

The prodigal son of heaven was full of energy. When Li Dan was a little older, he often went to play polo with his brothers, or took his sister Taiping to travel to Luoyang with Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.

At that time, Li Jin would often leave the palace to follow the mysterious lady Ling Muhua to cultivate his mind and nature. Once, he collected this jade Pixiu from outside and returned as a gift to Li Dan.

I feel infinite sadness, I only sigh that I cannot chase the past, and when I think about today, my heart is covered with a shadow again.

I don’t know when everything has changed.

Li Dan remembered the tragic disaster that year with his fingers.

In the second year of Changshou, the imperial concubine Liu, who came to the palace to ask for advice, suddenly disappeared, and he never returned home even when the city gate was closed.

Li Dan knew that it was not good, but there was a couple in their relationship, so he had to disguise himself. It was night that people were trying to open their eyes and rushed to the eldest princess Li Jin's princess's mansion.

At that time, Li Jinfang returned from the palace and heard that Li Dan was coming, so he asked someone to take him to the study.

Just as he put the golden cicada on the wings to prevent the partition wall from being heard, Li Dan ran in and pounced on the ground and cried: Sister, save me.

The buzzing sound of the cicada wings were mixed with the man's low crying. Li Jin turned around and helped Li Dan up, let him sit on Hu's bed, and said slowly.

The dignified man burst into tears, wiping his tears while telling her about the fact that the two concubines Liu Dou had never returned after entering the palace.

Li Jin listened quietly and finally sighed softly in his heart.

However, he was still faint on his face. After Li Dan finished crying, he handed him a silk handkerchief.

Fifth brother, she pursed her lips and her tone was cold and weak. You should know that there is so much danger.

Li Dan was stunned. Although he had already guessed in his heart, it sounded true at first glance and couldn't help crying loudly.

Sister, really, there is nothing to do?

Li Jin couldn't bear it, he could only answer: No.

Li Dan stopped talking, lowered his head and bit his sleeves and sobbed, fragile and helpless.

Li Jin let him vent his vent in silence.

She knew very well that the royal heir who seemed to be respected was actually extremely difficult, and she was walking on thin ice every day, and was cautious and afraid of everything.

My mother now relied on the second nephew of Wu, and she suppressed and deterred the two sons who were alive.

The two concubines Liu and Dou have long been dead. Since Li Jin has taken over the position of the Inner Guard Palace, he is certainly clear about this.

Fifth brother, seeing Li Dan slow down a little, Li Jin said: What kind of holiday do you have with Wei Tuaner?

Wei, Wei Tuaner?

Li Dan gradually stopped crying. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry. Elder sister, it's her!

A few days ago, I went to the palace to ask my mother for her well. She had a short rest in the inner hall. She came to serve tea, but she intended, intention...

His lips were trembling with anger, and Li Jin nodded at him, indicating that he knew.

It turned out that Wei Tuaner was causing trouble. Li Jin laughed in his heart. It should be because he was unable to seduce the emperor's heir, so he took advantage of the convenience of the maid in front of the imperial family and spoke nonsense to his mother.

The two concubines Liu and Dou should have been slandered and implicated by her.

But the words of a slut can even kill the two concubines. Li Jin knew that it was not her mother who was confused, but that she was intending to suppress her two sons.

Even if she is her daughter-in-law, she is the king first and the mother. This is her confrontation with the court officials who support the imperial heirs.

Li Jin knew that there was no room for correction in this matter.

Fifth brother, go back. Don’t ask about the matter between the two concubines again.

The matter was left unresolved. A few days later, Wei Tuaner wanted to harm Li Dan again, but was sued and killed in the Yeting Court.

It has been a few years now, and Li Dan still feels sad when he thinks of this.

But he also knew very well that at that time, it was the elder sister who avenged him.

Later, he was deprived of the power of meeting officials by his mother and was almost tried to die by Lai Junchen on charges of rebellion.

It was also Li Jin who secretly pushed An Jinzang, the musician in his palace. This man had a caesarean section in public to prove that the emperor's heir was not rebelling. Emperor Wu was deeply moved and let Li Dan go.

Compared to her mother, her elder sister would let him live, not to mention that he would not want to sit on that throne, so in the later Shenlong coup, Li Dan stood firmly on Li Jin's side.

Li Dan knew very well that he should have the right measure, so he stayed away from the government and became an obedient and good brother.

But this happened.

My heart was in a mess and I suddenly heard someone pushing the door in.

Looking up, the young man was wearing a long green robe and wearing a bronze mask, covering the left half of his cheek.

This is a disciple of his mansion, Tian Fusheng, who was highly appreciated by Li Dan for his good at playing piano and trusted him.

Resurrection, when Li Dan saw him coming, he hurriedly stood up, but was there a reply in the palace?

Tian Fusheng shook his head and reported to His Highness, never before.

The hope that Li Danfang ignited was wiped out again. He sat back on Hu's bed in frustration, his face full of sorrow.

Sister, when will you go back to Chang'an?
