On May 18 of the first year of Tiaolu, the army of the Turks was led by Pei Xingjian as the main commander and Xue Rengui as the deputy commander, and 100,000 soldiers and horses left Beijing and rushed to Shuozhou. On May 20, the emperor moved to Luoyang, accompanied by hundreds of officials, which lasted nearly a month, and arrived at Luoyang Palace on June 13.

On June 21, the first division of the road was in Shuozhou, with a total strength of more than 357,000 people, the largest number of troops gathered by the Tang Dynasty in recent years, however, the first battle was unfavorable, and the army that was ordered to escort grain and grass to the single capital was attacked, two thousand elites were annihilated, and the grain and grass were lost, and the news reached Luoyang, the emperor was furious, issued an edict to reprimand, and ordered Pei Xingjian to enter the army immediately, there must be no mistake! Pei Xingjian asked for his guilt, but did not immediately enter the army, but said that the thief army has not yet gathered, at this time, although the army can defeat the thief, but can not gather and annihilate most of the Turks in a battle, the emperor repeatedly considered, agreed to Pei Xingjian's request, the front-line war then fell into a stalemate, the besieged Xiao Siye Department became increasingly difficult, and the urgent documents were constantly sent to Luoyang City.

The battle on the front line was not very smooth, and Gaozong was very worried, ignoring the advice of the courtiers, holding on to his sick body, planning logistics and heavy matters day and night, and refusing to entrust all military and political affairs to the prince, nor delegating power to the military queen, and the already weak body and bones were even more haggard. Gaozong's insistence on not tightening it up, but the situation of the court was divided into three points - the military and political Gaozong himself controlled it, and the ordinary court affairs were controlled by the Empress Wu, and as for the important affairs of the states, they were all handled by the East Palace, which can be regarded as an alternative three-legged tripod.

June is coming to an end, the summer harvest has passed, the summary of the states has already reached the East Palace, as usual it is a bumper harvest, only a dozen states due to the climate, a slight lack of harvest, for the Tang Dynasty as a whole, but there is not much impact, the overall situation has been decided, and the official correspondence such as branches is not very important, Li Xian is very relieved to hand over to the officials of the East Palace headed by Zhang Cambodia, but he is in disguise, leading Li Yaodong and several other henchmen, and went to Xiyuan on horseback, intending to take advantage of the lack of things to relax.

Xiyuan, built in the Sui Dynasty, is the royal garden built by Emperor Yang of Sui when he built the eastern capital of Luoyang, Sui Shi, also known as Huitong Garden, is one of the most gorgeous gardens in the history of our country, north to Pishan, south to Yi Yan, west to today's Xin'an territory, around more than 200 miles, in the West Garden, strange mountains and clear waters, contrast with each other; Pavilions and pavilions, skillfully placed in the meantime; Flowing water, lush green forests; The palace is built facing the canal, such as the scale of the dragon, just like the sky, it is really a beautiful place, to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there are many new pavilions, the three generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty have not been less lingering here. The West Garden is not open to the public, when the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fourth year of Xianqing, the Empress Wu asked for the hundred officials to open this garden, Gaozong approved it, and then it became a rule, however, those who are not above the five rank officials are still not allowed to enter it.

The scenery of the West Garden is beautiful, but it is the peony as the most, when the peony flowers and peonies will wither, there is no one in the West Garden, but Li Xian does not care, he just comes to scatter his heart, for whether to see the flowers, but there is not too much attention, after entering the West Garden, there is no purpose, after retiring Li Yaodong and others, he walked alone along the grass by the Shenque Lake, but his mind is obviously not on the scenery, this walk, naturally the more scattered the more annoying.

The court situation is no longer the court situation in the previous life, although the power of the Empress Wu is still very large, but it is far from the power of the government and the opposition, in terms of the control of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian is not under it, and the latent forces are even higher than the Empress Wu, but at the same time, Gaozong, who should have been bedridden for a long time, was not paralyzed as in his previous life, but still had the spare power to control the armaments, which is okay, the problem is that Gaozong's suspicion of Li Xian is getting stronger and stronger, whether it is the coldness of the Hexi soldiers before, or the move to Luoyang this time, All of them are on guard against Li Xian, if this situation continues like this, I am afraid that the cannibalism between father and son is unavoidable, and how can Li Xian not be upset.

"Ye'er, don't run, don't run, be careful if you fall......"

Just when Li Xian was walking aimlessly, a woman's voice faintly sounded not far away, this voice sounded a little familiar, but Li Xianzheng was upset, and he didn't think about it, let alone take it to heart, he still lowered his head and paced slowly, but he never thought that in a trance, he suddenly noticed that someone was crashing into him.

"Huh?"

As one of the few grandmaster-level masters in the world, even if Li Xian is in a trance at this time, it is not just anyone who can get close, although he has not yet identified the identity of the comer, but Li Xian's body has naturally turned sideways, and he let the comer pass by very lightly, and then look at it, the person who rushed over has fallen to the ground uncontrollably, and he is a child of three or four years old.

"Wow......"

When the little guy was rushing fast, Leng Buding was shaken by Li Xian, and his center of gravity was out of balance, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Although he was interrupted by this sudden child, it was not good to lose his temper at an ignorant child, besides, as far as the little guy's pitiful appearance, Li Xian was not good at scolding, of course, when he was extremely upset, Li Xian did not have the leisure to coax the little guy to be happy, but he frowned slightly, and he was about to leave, but his feet had not yet been raised, and the corner of his eyes swept to a young woman who was hurrying over, his pupils shrank suddenly, and people couldn't help but stay on the spot.

"Ye'er, Ye'er, are you hurt? Come, mother, take a look at ......."

The young woman didn't look at Li Xian, who was stunned, and hurried to the crying child, squatted down, stretched out her hand and took the little guy into her arms, and coaxed in a hurried tone.

It's her, it's her! Hehe, this world is too small!

The young woman didn't pay attention to Li Xian, but Li Xian recognized at a glance who this woman was - Wei Xiang'er, the Empress Wei in her previous life!

Once a husband and wife for thirty years, it is naturally impossible to say that there is no emotion, but love and hate are intertwined - in the previous life, without Queen Wei's affection, Li Xian may not be able to survive the difficult years of exile, but if it were not for Queen Wei's poisonous hands, Li Xian would not have died in middle age.

"This gentleman is invited, the slave family is the inner room of Weizhou Thorn History, if the child is offended, please also ask Mr. Haihan to be one."

Just when Li Xian was stunned, Wei Xiang'er had already coaxed the child who couldn't stop crying, stood up, Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, glanced at Li Xian, and seemed to apologize, but in fact, she moved out of her own background, in order to press Li Xian, there is no doubt that the ordinary clothes Li Xian was wearing were actually seen by Wei Xiang'er as a subordinate.

Sure enough, it's still so domineering!

Li Xian really knew Wei Xiang'er's personality too well, and when he saw that his mouth was overwhelming, he couldn't help laughing.

"Huh?"

Wei Xiang'er is not a master who is willing to suffer, this time when he saw Li Xian not answering and laughing, he was angry, and his pretty face was stiff, and he was about to have a seizure.

"Your Highness."

Li Yaodong and others had the heavy responsibility of protecting Li Xian, so they didn't dare to go too far, and when they saw something at this time, they had already gathered around.

"Your Highness? You are ......"

As soon as she heard someone call Li Xian His Royal Highness, Wei Xiang'er was dumbfounded, how dare she go crazy again, and exclaimed with disbelief on her face.

"Go back to the palace!"

The past is already in the past, even if these things are absolutely unforgettable for Li Xian, but after all, it is not the present world, Li Xian will not have the idea of revenge, nor the idea of revisiting the old dream, and at the same time, he does not want to have the slightest relationship with Wei Xiang'er, he doesn't want to say much, he turned around, and strode towards the direction of the gate.

"Ah......h

Wei Xiang'er couldn't figure out the situation at all, until Li Xian and the others had gone far away, then she came back to her senses, and after a while of fear, she couldn't help but exclaim, how dare she delay in the same place, picked up her son, and fled to the place where her family was in a panic......

Vermilion Bird Pavilion, an attic of the East Palace of Luoyang Palace, three-storey wooden structure, located on the edge of the back garden, standing in the pond, it is the middle of summer is approaching, the lotus is full of ponds, the fragrance is refreshing, there is more that breeze is light, the leaves are low and the flowers are present, the dragonflies are flying, the colorful butterflies are circling, the scenery can be described as beautiful, but the beautiful woman sitting in front of the window obviously has no intention to appreciate, the brows are slightly wrinkled, the expression is lonely and sad, the red lips are lightly opened, a poem of grief and lingering has come out quietly.

"At the beginning of the Yexia Dongting, Sijun was more than 10,000 miles away. The fragrance of the dew is cold, and the moon falls in the void. If you want to play Jiangnan song, you can covet the book of Jibei. There is no other meaning in the book, but a long time away. ”

The beautiful woman groaned, tears were uncontrollably out of her eyes, and her tearful eyes looked hazy in the direction where the Manna Hall was located, and looked at it stupidly, letting the tears slide over her jade-like face, dripping down her clothes half-wet, but she forgot to wipe them.

This beauty is none other than Shangguan Wan'er, who has reached the age of eighteen, since she was less than one year old and was rescued by Li Xian, to now, it has been eighteen years, the original baby has already become a slim girl, according to the practice of this era, it has long been past the age of leaving the cabinet, but she is alone in the empty pavilion, and self-pity is inevitable, but this kind of mind is not afraid to talk to others, even the closest maid is the same, since you can only bear this sadness and pain alone.

"Bang dang!"

Just when Shangguan Wan'er was silently mourning, the closed door was suddenly slammed open, and there was a muffled sound, which made Shangguan Wan'er wake up suddenly......
