Empress Dou asked, "Who is that Jianghuai King, and why is he so interested in that little slut?" ”

Zhen Mingbitter suppressed the anger in his heart, his face did not show any flaws, and said in a low voice: "Maybe I like Lingshuang, the queen mother, Erchen feels that now is not the time to care about personal grievances, if you can use a Lingshuang in exchange for the unity and stability of the world, Erchen feels that it is worth it, and this is also the noble sentiment of the queen mother to show kindness to the people of the world and give up personal grievances for the people of the world......"

Queen Dou was silent for a long time, "This matter makes Bengong think about it again, Bengong is a little tired, you can retreat first." ”

"Queen Mother Qian'an, the sons and daughters will retire, and they will come again tomorrow to ask for peace."

……

The next day, Empress Dou summoned Li Jianchen into the palace, and after a secret conversation with him for a long time, Li Jiancheng left the palace.

Queen Dou also asked someone to summon Zhen to enter the palace.

"Shimin, does your father have a countermeasure for the surrender of King Jianghuai?"

"After returning to his mother, King Jianghuai has already made it clear that only by letting Ling Shuangxia marry him can the Jianghuai army lay down their arms and surrender."

Queen Dou was stunned for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes: "That little slut, sure enough, is the reincarnation of the fox spirit, even the enemy is fascinated by her, this Jianghuai King doesn't seem to be a good thing, and a man who will be fascinated by beauty is not a good thing......"

Zhen Ming secretly said to himself, it seems that this Queen Dou's resentment towards Li Yuan is not ordinarily small.

Queen Dou chattered and complained for about half an hour, then she stopped and took a sip of tea. Asked: "What is the origin of this Jianghuai king?" How did you get to know that little slut? ”

"After returning to his mother, this person's journey is very complicated, and Erchen has also mentioned it to his mother before. His name is Zhen Mingku. ”

Empress Dou's face changed, and she lost her voice and said, "He is the bastard who robbed your Princess Qin?" ”

Zhen Mingku, the first time he heard others scold him in front of him, he couldn't refute it, so he had to nod: "It's him." ”

Empress Dou looked at him for a while and sighed: "You can still have such a good temper...... Can't we change other conditions? ”

"It has to be frosty."

Empress Dou asked again: "What if you can't give him the person he wants?" ”

"Till death strike."

Empress Dou was obviously a little entangled, pondered for a long time, and seemed to be hesitating how to speak. Finally, in a very unwilling voice, he said, "Go and ask your eldest brother, maybe he knows where the little slut has gone." ”

Zhen Ming's heart was full of chuckles. On the surface, he didn't dare to show any flaws, nor did he dare to ask too much, and he was too nervous, which was easy to arouse Queen Dou's suspicion. Hurriedly changed the subject. He talked and said something inconsequential, which made Queen Dou smile, so she found an excuse and left the palace in a hurry.

……

In the prince's mansion in the north of Chang'an City, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, personally visited Li Jiancheng, and the prince Li Jiancheng was displeased to reprimand him in the house:

"What do you mean by that? You suspect that I was secretly hiding her and deliberately embarrassing you. Can't you make it happen? ”

"Big brother, you misunderstood. It's all for the Li family, it's not that I have suspicions, it's just that the queen mother said that the eldest brother might know where the third sister is, so ......"

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Don't take your mother to press me, you still call her the third sister, if she hadn't let Zhen Mingbitter go, I would have lost?" It was she who calculated that I would lead the army to conquer Jianghuai, so she deliberately colluded with Zhen Mingku, so that I was defeated, she has had a good relationship with you since she was a child, and she thinks about everything for your sake, but she is against me, it is she who destroys the friendship between you and my brother, do you think she is very pitiful, and want to fulfill her and Zhen Mingku? ”

Zhen Mingku's mood became heavier and heavier when he heard this, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

"Big brother, the third sister and I have always respected you very much, and I am even more loyal to the Li family and my father, and I have no two hearts, you really shouldn't slander her like this."

Li Jiancheng threw a cup at him, hit Zhen Mingku, spilled him a drink, and there was resentment in his eyes: "You are pretending to be a good person now, when your father wanted to remove her from her post and imprison her, why didn't you say a word for her?" She has been obedient to you since she was a child, and now you are questioning me, why did you go in the first place! ”

Zhen Mingku stood up and asked coldly: "I only ask the eldest brother, do you know where the third sister is?" ”

"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

"In that case, the people of the world take their leave."

……

In the middle of the night, Li Jiancheng's complaint came from the palace of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the Empress Dowager Dou lazily leaned on the soft couch, listening without a word, knocking melon seeds in her mouth.

After Li Jiancheng finished complaining in front of her, she asked unhurriedly: "That little slut was imprisoned by you, right?" ”

Li Jiancheng looked panicked and lowered his head: "Don't dare to deceive the queen mother, she is indeed in the secret room prison in the son's mansion now, and the son is doing this to help the queen mother breathe a bad breath......"

Empress Dou glanced at him meaningfully, "Don't push everything to the palace, although the palace has always hoped that you can inherit the throne, but also hope that you will be recognized by your father with your true talent and learning, and the brothers compete with each other with strength, which is originally the meaning of your father and the palace, but I don't want you to make a discord between your brothers, for the palace, you are the most beloved children of the palace, and the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, so the palace will not help anyone, as long as it is beneficial to the Li family, the palace will support ......"

She straightened up from the soft couch and stretched out a hand, Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped forward, supported her, walked to the dressing table and sat down, and began to remove the jewelry on her head and wash the makeup on her face.

She plucked the hairpin that Zhen Mingku gave her from the bun and put it on the table, and on the crested phoenix eyes of the bun, two black gems flashed a bright light, and neither of them noticed.

Li Jiancheng grabbed a comb, combed her hair in a bun, and said while combing: "Queen Mother, the second brother has now overshadowed Erchen in meritorious service, if he is allowed to promote the peace talks of the Jianghuai Army this time, when the world is unified, he will be great, and Erchen will no longer have the opportunity to compete with him, and his father's mind has begun to waver, and the Queen Mother must help Erchen this time." ”

Empress Dou showed a smile on her face: "Silly child, the queen mother has always supported you, and your father actually thinks that it is in line with human ethics for you to inherit the unification, so he will repeatedly let you go on expeditions, just so that you can one day be on an equal footing with the people of the world in terms of military exploits, so that with your eldest son, the position of the crown prince is naturally you, and the ministers will not have an opinion...... Who knows, hey, it's all to blame on that little slut, because your father trusts her so much, she actually hooked up with that Zhen life ......"

As soon as Li Jiancheng mentioned Zhen's bitterness, he was furious, "I don't know what kind of demon that little slut is in, he doesn't even listen to his father's words, and now that he is locked up, he still refuses to bow his head......"

Empress Dou glanced at him in the mirror, "She can't even walk now, right?" Do you think Hongu doesn't know that you've liked her since you were a child? If she hadn't killed Ba'er, this palace really wanted her to marry you as a concubine, but it's a pity that since she entered my Li family, this palace has found the master to calculate, this woman is not compatible with the Li family's life, and the palace will defeat the Li family's qi at a critical moment, now it seems that the master's hexagram is really a mantra......"

"Then the queen mother still asked me to give her to the second brother?"

"This palace has said that as long as it is beneficial to the Li family, this palace will do whatever it takes, this palace means that you will bring Ling Shuang out and facilitate negotiations, now it seems that it is inconvenient for her to appear now, right?"

Queen Dou glanced at Li Jiancheng meaningfully, knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Li Jiancheng's preferences and temperament since childhood, as a mother, of course, know better than anyone else.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The queen mother is wise. ”

……

In a garden a thousand meters away from Empress Dou's palace, Zhen Mingku, dressed in black, his face covered with black cloth, his fists squeaked, and his eyes became cold and angry.

The mobile phone emitted a sizzling signal sound, mixed with the vague conversation between Queen Dou and Li Jiancheng.

The hairpin given to Queen Dou has a modified bugging device, which is a microphone and signal transmitter removed from the super-generation mobile phone and embedded into the pearl of the hairpin, as long as it is within a range of a thousand meters, it can be heard, after leaving the prince's mansion, he has been secretly tracking Li Jiancheng, in order to eavesdrop on what the two mothers and sons are going to do.

He forcibly rushed in and beat the two of them severely, forcing them to tell the urge of Ling Shuang's whereabouts, and endured it patiently, listening intently, for fear of leaving out some important clues.

Empress Dou asked some more about the situation of the Jianghuai army forcing Luoyang City, and discussed with Li Jiancheng how to ostensibly agree to Zhen Mingku's request, but secretly sent a master to assassinate Zhen Mingku, and took advantage of the Jianghuai army's masterless strategy to break the Jianghuai army in one fell swoop.

"If it really doesn't work, I have to give him that little slut, and when the world is unified, I will slowly find an opportunity to clean up these two dog men and women."

Empress Dou finally made a summary, and then asked: "That little slut can't be dead, right?" ”

"After returning to my mother, she couldn't die for the time being, and I locked her in the basement of the study."

Empress Dou sighed: "If this palace knew that you were interested in her early on, and arranged for you to set up a family affair early in the morning, it would not have happened later, she must have hated this palace to death now, and wanted to ...... back then."

Hearing this, Zhen Mingku had no patience to listen any longer, turned off the bugging, put away the mobile phone, turned around and left quickly......

……

The figures of two men in black appeared in the prince's mansion.

They bypassed the guards of the Prince's Mansion and found the location of Li Jiancheng's study.

"Zhen Ye, are you sure that the third young lady is locked up here?" A man in black spoke confusedly.

"According to the news I heard, I can't be wrong, Xiao Pei, you are staring here, as soon as there is any movement, immediately call the code to inform me, and I will go in and find out."

The other whispered, gently opened the latch of the window with his knife, looked around and saw that there was no one, and quickly rushed in. (To be continued......)
