Li Zexuan's guess was correct. At this moment, Li Er was indeed having a headache over how to rescue Li Tai. Moreover, apart from this matter, there was another matter that gave him an even bigger headache, and that was the inquiry from Empress Zhangsun.
It was said that a woman's intuition was the most accurate. This saying was true for Empress Zhangsun.
Last night, there had been an urgent report from Taiyuan, saying that Li Tai had been kidnapped by a Turkic spy. Zhao Song had knocked on the door of Li Er and Empress Zhangsun's bedroom in fear and trepidation. It was only after Li Er had left that Zhao Song informed Li Er of this news. Although Empress Zhangsun didn't hear anything from beginning to end, her intuition told her that something urgent and important must have happened. Otherwise, Zhao Song wouldn't have disturbed Li Er's rest so late at night.
When Li Er returned to his bedroom, Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but ask Li Er why Zhao Song was looking for him. Li Er casually made up a lie, saying that someone in the army was causing trouble. Then, he used the excuse of being sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
Although Empress Zhangsun didn't really believe Li Er's reason, she didn't continue to ask after considering that Li Er had been busy with state affairs during the day and was indeed very tired. However, her mood was very perturbed.
Finally, it was daybreak. It was almost time for the morning court. Empress Zhangsun quickly woke Li Er up and continued to ask about last night's matter. Li Er suddenly had a headache.
If he told the truth, it would definitely make Empress Zhangsun heartbroken and worried all day long. However, if he didn't say it, he couldn't make up a reason that Empress Zhangsun could trust in such a short time.
It was strange. In front of others, Li Er could easily lie with his eyes open. However, in front of Empress Zhangsun, it was difficult for him to lie flawlessly. This was because Empress Zhangsun knew him too well. Many times, even if he didn't say anything, Empress Zhangsun could guess a thing or two from his expression or the emotions hidden in his eyes.
"Your Majesty! It's time for the morning court. The officials are already waiting outside Taiji Palace. "
Just as Li Er and Empress Zhangsun were in a silent confrontation, Zhao Song's voice came from outside the bedroom. Li Er could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, Empress Zhangsun had already helped him put on his clothes. Li Er turned around and gently hugged Zhangsun, then said softly,
"Guanyin Maid, don't worry! Something did happen last night, but you have to believe Us, Us will definitely resolve it! We will go to the morning court first. After the morning court, if you still want to know, We will tell you! "
Empress Zhangsun leaned on Li Er's broad chest and felt the sincerity in his words. She couldn't help but feel her heart soften. She thought that she had pushed him too far. There were some things that he didn't tell her. It should be for her own good. Why did she have to push him step by step?
"Yes! Your Majesty, please go to the morning court! "
Empress Zhangsun took a step back and took the initiative to leave Li Er's embrace. The expression on her face also changed from the original worry to the present "pretending to be relaxed".
"Alright!"
Li Er glanced at Empress Zhangsun, then turned and left.
After exiting Lizheng Palace, Li Er boarded the carriage and led Zhao Song straight to Taiji Palace. Halfway there, Li Er suddenly asked Zhao Song,
"What about the thing I asked you to investigate last night?"
