Li Ke was eager to return home and wanted to go home a long time ago.
It's just that the matter in the Western Region has not been resolved, and he can't go back even if he wants to. Now he can finally go home.
Li Ke took nine wives with him and felt very uneasy. He didn't know how to face Shu Wan when he returned home.
However, these nine wives were given by the hidden family. As of now, they are actually married to Princess Tuolujia of Loulan, and the other eight are in name only.
And these eight women, except for Ji Yunxi, all have their own agendas. They are all traitors arranged by the hidden family to be around them.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to go back to Ji's house, I want to stay with you, okay?"
At some point, Ji Yunxi climbed onto Li Ke's carriage and sat opposite Li Ke, looking at Li Ke with twinkling eyes.
"Are you serious?"
"I have the right to pursue my own happiness and I don't want to be their tool."
"Your Majesty, I don't want any status, I just want to be by your side and do things for you."
Li Ke was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Do you like me?"
Ji Yunxi's cheeks were slightly red, and she rolled her eyes at Li Ke: "You are a hero."
"I understand!"
"When I return to Chang'an, I will ask my father to issue a decree to propose to your Ji family."
Bah!
Ji Yunxi kissed Li Ke as fast as lightning, then jumped out of the carriage and disappeared.
Li Ke touched his cheek and said with a smile: "You still need to test whether you can become my king's woman. After all, you come from a hidden family, and I don't dare to gamble!"
If it were a girl from other forces, Li Ke might regard her as his real woman, but not a woman from a hidden family.
He had tricked Mr. Ji to death this time, and sooner or later the Hidden Family would discover this matter.
Moreover, the hidden family and the royal family, as well as Li Ke, will eventually go to war openly.
And when these women are around him, they might be a time bomb.
Li Ke lay in the carriage and closed his eyes slightly, with Li Shuwan's figure appearing in his mind.
"I don't know if Shu Wan misses me. This little girl hasn't written to herself for so long. All the letters I wrote to her have disappeared into the sea."
…
Chang'an City.
Forces such as the hidden family and the various schools of thought have gradually surfaced, moving from hiding in the world to the world, and appearing in the light.
The power of the hidden family can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City.
They also began to do business, study, buy families and develop their power in various places in Chang'an City or in major cities.
Li Shimin also agreed that these people would join the world. After all, these people would bring great development to society, especially if these people have great wealth.
But Li Shimin had already spoken out and refused them to become officials in the court or join the army.
It is also clearly stipulated that marriage with secular nobles or officials is not allowed.
At this moment, these families already know the battle situation between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks. The Tang Dynasty won, the Western Turks were defeated miserably, and the King of Qin returned in triumph soon.
In the past few days, all the hidden families, including all the forces in the Tang Dynasty, were staring at Li Shuwan in the palace.
Li Shuwan is about to give birth to a child, within the past month.
Once Li Shuwan gives birth to a baby boy, the ultimate event of uncovering and deciphering the winner will be put on the agenda.
Li Ke came back and the sacrifice was born, which meant that the seal was about to be opened.
Li Shimin was also aware of it, but for the time being he couldn't figure out why all the forces tried their best to know about Li Shuwan's birth of a child.
This matter is very strange. Logically speaking, they should focus more on their son, because his son is the chosen one and the only candidate to be the winner of the decryption.
But why are they keeping an eye on their unborn grandson?
"Li Shu, has the investigation been clear?"
"What do these old guys want to do? Why are they staring at the princess?"
Li Shu knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. During this period, he investigated without eating and sent out all the secret guards, but he did not get any information.
Even if people from the hidden family were arrested and tortured, nothing could be found out.
"This subordinate deserves to die. I didn't get any useful information."
"waste!"
Li Shimin angrily kicked Li Shu in the face, leaving a big footprint on Li Shu's face, but Li Shu didn't dare to hide.
"What exactly do they want to do?"
"Could it be that you want to take away my unborn grandson and use it to threaten me and King Qin?"
"Humph, your calculations were wrong."
"Li Shu, send more people. During this period, no one in the palace is allowed to move around without permission."
"There are people waiting outside, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace, and all entertainment activities are cancelled."
"Foreign ministers' families, palace maids, eunuchs, princes and princesses are not allowed to enter the palace."
"Concubine Yang's palace is guarded by experts day and night. No one is allowed to visit."
"Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
In Concubine Yang's palace.
Li Shuwan's belly was already very big, but she was very depressed. Originally, her life in the palace was very carefree, and she could do whatever she wanted?
The result is good now. I am trapped in the palace and cannot see anyone. I haven’t dealt with the account books for two months. I don’t know what the negative consequences are!
And I haven't received a letter from the prince for two months. I don't know if the prince will be able to come back before she gives birth to the child.
The closer she got to giving birth, the more scared she felt.
"Concubine, why do you think these people are staring at my daughter-in-law?"
"Mother and concubine, did something happen with the prince?"
Li Shuwan has always been suspicious in the past two days, which made Concubine Yang also suspicious. The main reason is that this environment is scary, and there are experts guarding the outside.
The palace maids and eunuchs around them were bribed from time to time to tip off people outside the palace.
Now, apart from Li Shuwan, Concubine Yang was the only one left in the entire courtyard.
The maids, palace maids, and eunuchs were all sent away.
"Wan'er, don't dare to talk nonsense, nothing will happen to Ke'er."
Concubine Yang said this, even she didn't believe it. Ke'er led an army to fight in the Western Region alone. It was a battlefield with many dangers.
How could it not be dangerous?
"Concubine Yang, Wan'er, I have brought you some great news."
Li Shimin laughed and walked in from outside the yard.
The two people stood up quickly and paid homage to Li Shimin. Li Shimin waved his hands and said: "The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks in the Western Regions is expected to end by the end of this month. If we can capture Futu City by the end of this month, I will call Ke'er back and let Li Jing guard it. The Western Region is ready."
Li Shuwan and Concubine Yang showed smiles on their faces at the same time, Li Ke was finally coming back.
