"Old Liu! Get out of here!"
Li Shimin's angry roar hovered over the palace, but when the sound dispersed, he still did not see Li Yuanjing's figure.
"What's going on! Where is Yuan Jing!"
Seeing the servants of the palace running out and kneeling in front of him one after another, Li Shimin, who realized something was wrong, took a long breath and asked them in a voice without any emotion.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he has entered the palace..."
From behind, a voice of shame came, but it was a Qianniu captain who hurried over, knelt on one knee and reported to Li Shimin.
"uh-huh?"
Hearing this voice, Li Shimin suddenly turned around and his eyes shot at the captain like lightning: "Enter the palace?! Didn't I give you an order to forbid him from leaving the palace? Why did he enter the palace?"
"Go back..." The captain was stared at by Li Shimin with a glare on his back! He had to lower his head tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. He said that he got the news that the Supreme Emperor in the palace suddenly became seriously ill. He must go to the palace to visit immediately, and threatened his subordinates if he was not allowed to visit. It is disrespectful and contrary to filial piety, so..."
"So you let him go to the palace?" After listening to the county captain's words, Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes, but a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't blame the captain for letting Li Yuanjing go.
In fact, except for Xiao Han and Yu Chigong's level, it is really difficult for others to stop a prince, let alone a small school captain in front of them! Li Yuanjing could even find any reason to kill him directly!
What Li Shimin was angry about was that Li Yuanjing could even say such treasonous things as his father was seriously ill in order to seek asylum! How insane is this?
"Okay, Sixth! We haven't seen you for a long time, and you're actually promising. You can even make up such words! Today I want to see where you can hide!"
After gritting his teeth and saying this, Li Shimin suddenly walked down the steps and mounted his horse again. This time, the direction was pointed directly at the imperial city!
"I...this...hey!" Xiao Han stood there, looked at the palace in front of him, and then at Li Shimin who was walking away behind him. He suddenly felt that one head was as big as two!
"What do you call this? It seems like I am the victim!"
Cursing angrily, Xiao Han, who felt helpless, had no choice but to ride his horse and catch up again, leaving Qian Niuwei and everyone in the palace alone, who had fallen to their knees on the ground. Oh, and there was also Li Yuanchang who was secretly laughing in the dark.
He chased Li Shimin along the quiet and deserted road to Zhuque Gate.
The door that was supposed to be closed had already been opened with a gap large enough to allow the horses to pass through.
Xiao Han reined in his horse and watched the torches fanning behind the door. He was hesitating whether to wait here, but a guard was already running over to him and said: "Master Marquis, His Majesty has ordered you to ride in directly." !”
"Oh, okay, thank you!"
Xiao Han had no choice but to bow his hands to this familiar guard, shake the reins of his horse again, and rush into the palace.
Because of the delay at the door, by the time Xiao Han entered the palace, Li Shimin had disappeared.
But Xiao Han didn't worry about going wrong, because there were already palace servants who pointed out the way for him along the way.
Pass through Chengtian Gate and pass through Xianchun Gate to reach Wanchun Hall.
Because the Daming Palace has not been completed yet, it has been Li Yuan's residence since Li Shimin seized the throne.
I don't know if it was because he felt guilty about his father. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he not only gave Li Yuan the best place to live, but also tried his best to surround Li Yuan with beautiful women, hoping that his father could forget all the unpleasantness while he was drunk and dreaming.
Therefore, in these short three years, Wanchun Palace lived up to its name, and Li Yuan had no idea how many spring nights it had!
And the side effect of this is: Li Shimin's team of younger brothers and sisters quickly grew! As of this year, his brother has ranked 21st, and his sister has ranked 18th. The youngest one is even a few months younger than Li Zhi, who was just born this year.
This uncle and aunt are younger than the nephew, which is really rare.
After getting off his horse in front of Wanchun Palace, Xiao Han held on to a stone railing and hesitated for a long time before slowly walking in.
Different from the fierce quarrel as imagined, the spacious and gorgeous Wanchun Palace was silent at this time, without any sound.
Passing through a curtain, Xiao Han saw Li Shimin standing upright in front of a chair, with anger, coldness, guilt, and many other expressions on his handsome face.
And Li Yuanjing, who had escaped from the palace, was suddenly standing next to the Hu chair, tightly holding the arm of the gray old man on the chair, while looking at Li Shimin in front of him in fear.
Xiao Han's eyes passed over several people one by one, and finally focused on the old man on the chair.
That person is none other than the abdicated Emperor, Li Yuan!
Speaking of which, Xiao Han hasn't seen Li Yuan for a long time.
So it wasn't until today that he suddenly discovered that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was originally ambitious and arrogant, has now aged like this!
The black hair on that end has turned almost completely white in just a few years!
Although the clothes on his body are still gorgeous, Xiao Han can still clearly see that his muscles are now slack, his eyes are dim, and his face is gray. It seems that all the energy in his body has disappeared.
"I, Xiao Han, have met the Supreme Emperor!"
Walking behind Li Shimin with heavy steps, Xiao Han bowed deeply to Li Yuan, his voice a little hoarse.
To be honest, Li Yuan is good to Xiao Han!
When Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, because they were very close to him, both Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji hated Xiao Han to the core and slandered him in the court from time to time! If Li Yuan hadn't protected him at that time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be Xiao Han today!
It stands to reason that if a king treats his ministers like his brothers and sisters, then his ministers should treat him like his heart!
But as a person from later generations, Xiao Han really has no choice!
Whether it's for himself or for Datang! They can only work with Li Shimin to knock this old man who once took care of him off the throne!
It is precisely because of this that he always feels deeply guilty towards Li Yuan!
It was precisely because of this deep feeling of guilt that he had never visited the old man in the palace in the past few years!
"who?"
Suddenly hearing the voices of other men in the palace, Li Yuan was obviously startled. He tried to open his eyes wide and saw that the man behind Li Shimin was none other than the young boy from back then, Xiao Han!
"Xiao Han?" After calling out this name, Li Yuan smiled obviously, as if he remembered the past, but soon, an angry voice sounded next to him!
"Father! That's him! He was the one who hit the child with his boat and extorted everything from the child!"
