Chang 'an, Commandery Prince Hejian's Mansion.
Li Xiaogong was still ill and often in a trance. However, compared to when he first got sick, he was much better. At least Li Xiaogong was in a daze in the backyard most of the time.
Chang 'an was getting warmer in March.
Li Xiaogong was looking at the flowers in the yard in a daze.
However, his eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared at the flowers and plants in the courtyard without blinking.
This was Li Xiaogong's normal state.
Because of this, Li Xiaogong was now a useless person in the eyes of Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and others. He was even equivalent to a person who was not a threat. Because of this, the people who were watching around the Commandery Prince Hejian's Mansion were quietly weakened. After all, the Commandery Prince Hejian's Mansion had lost its value.
Li Shimin only arranged for one person to watch outside the mansion to confirm the people who came in and out.
When Li Xiaogong was admiring the flowers, the housekeeper of the mansion came to Li Xiaogong. After standing still, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, I'll take you back to your room to rest."
Immediately, he called the servant to help Li Xiaogong back to his room.
Li Xiaogong was much thinner now.
Compared to the past, he was as thin as a skeleton, looking incomparably emaciated. But when the door was closed and only the housekeeper was left, Li Xiaogong's cloudy eyes suddenly became clear and became full of wisdom and understanding again. Even the numb and stiff expression on his face softened.
Li Xiaogong looked at the housekeeper and said, "What's the matter?"
Among the people in the mansion, only the housekeeper knew that Li Xiaogong was pretending to be sick. Not only because the housekeeper took the medicine for Li Xiaogong, but also because the housekeeper was an old man in Li Xiaogong's mansion and could be trusted completely.
The housekeeper said, "Your Highness, someone on Xia's side sent a letter."
While speaking, the housekeeper handed the letter to him.
This letter was classified as a secret letter, but looking at the contents of the letter, it didn't have much value. After Li Xiaogong got the letter and decrypted it, he already knew the content of the letter.
In fact, the content of the letter was very simple. It was to prepare to take Li Xiaogong away.
Because this was Du Qi's arrangement.
After Li Xiaogong finished reading, he pondered in his heart. At the moment, Li Xiaogong was unwilling to leave Chang 'an. After living in Chang' an for so long, this place was his root. However, Li Xiaogong also knew that staying in Chang 'an would be risky at any time.
Even though the Emperor's people had withdrawn most of the people watching, there was still a small group of people watching Li Xiaogong's manor to prevent him from making any strange movements.
Seeing Li Xiaogong pondering, the butler asked, "Your Highness, why did Xia Xia send a letter?"
Li Xiaogong said, "He wants us to go to the Western Regions."
The butler asked, "What does Your Highness plan to do?"
He was a member of the Commandery Prince Hejian's Mansion. Whatever decision Li Xiaogong made, he would respect it directly. In short, if Li Xiaogong stayed in Chang 'an, he would naturally stay in Chang' an too. If Li Xiaogong wanted to leave Chang 'an, he would leave Chang' an with him.
Li Xiaogong did not answer the housekeeper's question. Instead, he asked, "Do you think I should leave?"
"I should leave!"
The butler answered without hesitation.
Li Xiaogong asked, "Why?"
The butler said, "Your Highness, there's nothing I don't know. But I know that Your Highness is not living a happy life in Chang 'an now. Not only do you have to pretend to be sick to numb people, but you also have to take medicine to make yourself a little absent-minded, so that you can pretend to be sick more realistically. This kind of situation has never happened before. For Your Highness's sake, you should go to the Western Regions. "
Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "It's easy to say, but it's really not easy to leave. After all, this is Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang dynasty. There are countless people in Chang' an keeping an eye on us. Our every move is very easy to be monitored. "
The butler said, "Your Highness, although it's not easy to leave. But we don't need to worry about this matter! You see, Su Dingfang's family and now Li Jing's family all left quietly. With us here, we can do the same. As long as Your Highness goes to Xia Xia, even if you are not the Commandery Prince Hejian, at least Your Highness will be Du Qi's father-in-law. Just this identity alone is extraordinary. "
Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice, "That's true. Now we have been cautious all the time in Chang 'an, for fear that we may be targeted by the Emperor. If we can leave, it will be the best. "
After a pause, Li Xiaogong said, "You secretly go to Xia Xia's people in the Tang dynasty and tell them that I agree to take action. We are now trapped in Chang 'an, and that's not a solution. If we can leave, we will be completely free. "
"Your Highness is wise!"
After hearing this, the butler immediately became excited.
That's more like it!
As long as Li Xiaogong's family left, the Li family would have a very good life in Xia Xia's territory. After all, Du Qi was very fond of Li Yanyun. Du Qi loved her, so he would definitely give Li Xiaogong preferential treatment and favor.
This was everyone's judgment and cognition.
"Knock! Knock! "
Someone knocked on the door outside the room.
Both Li Xiaogong and the butler became nervous. The butler went to open the door and saw the mansion's messenger. Du Qi's letters were not allowed to be opened and read. Only Li Xiaogong could deal with them.
Li Xiaogong said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open and a man from the mansion entered. This man was dressed in a black warrior suit and was the mansion's sentinel. After seeing Li Xiaogong, he took the initiative to salute and said, "Your Highness, I just received the news that all the Tang troops led by Li Ji in Shazhou of the Western Region have been defeated. In the end, only a few people escaped. In the battle of Shazhou, we have completely won. "
Li Xiaogong said, "Good, good, good. Erlang Du is really good! Although he didn't have much time to participate in the battle, it was a beautiful battle. But since Du Qi has won, we have to evacuate even more. Because it will be easier for him to become a hostage. "
The butler said, "You've made up your mind."
Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "The situation is already like this. What else is there to decide? Get ready. We will leave Chang 'an soon. "
The butler nodded.
In fact, he had already prepared for leaving Chang 'an.
Unfortunately, there was no time to delay.
The plan must be carried out as soon as possible.
When Li Xiaogong was about to leave, the news of Li Ji's defeat in the front line was first passed to Li Shimin's ears. Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the news of Li Ji's defeat.
Defeated!
Defeated again!
If Li Ji had not been defeated, the situation would not have been so bad, Du Qi would not have been so domineering and cruel, and Li Shimin would not have been so upset.
Li Shimin immediately arranged for someone to call Fang Xuanling to discuss.
They discussed the countermeasures.
