lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

The cook Li Daozong brought from Chang'an is really skilled. Even Princess Gao Yang can't say that she is picky, showing her superb cooking skills.

There is no other person in the table, and the three of them sit in two seats. Li Daozong is an easy-going person. Seeing Princess Gao Yang insisted on squeezing at the same table with Qin Mubai to eat and drink, he could not blame them.

The three of them ate and talked, and they talked very happily from what they saw along the way to the customs of Xiangzhou.

Princess Goyang didn't eat much and didn't drink well. She was full after a short while. But like a child with ADHD, he was walking around the house curiously, not paying attention to what Qin Mubai and Li Daozong were talking about.

"My lord, I would like to ask, why did your majesty allow the princess to leave the deep palace and come to Xiangzhou with you?" Qin Mubai asked the question that he had been thinking for a long time.

Previously, Li Shimin was very unwilling to let Princess Goyang continue to show her face due to the turmoil between the princess and Fang's marriage. Coupled with the fact that Concubine Yin Dek moved into Taoist Temple, Princess Gao Yang was also ashamed and willing to stay in the palace to accompany her mother, and rarely left the palace since.

"In fact, Your Majesty has never forced Gao Yang's freedom." Li Daozong smiled lightly, but revealed a little mystery.

Qin Mubai vaguely heard the meaning of his words, nodded, and smiled: "Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, and he is very fond of the princess. But this time, your Majesty allowed the princess to openly go south to Xiangzhou. Does it mean..."

"You are very smart." Li Daozong smiled slightly and said, "This king has asked your majesty about his intentions before, but he didn't directly state it. It just said that since the prince, King Wu, and the king have all gone to Xiangzhou, It’s okay to let Gao Yang follow along for a play. He also said that Gao Yang has been very good during this period of time. He has not been so behaved since childhood. He worried that Gao Yang would be bored in the palace all day, so he asked me to take her. Come out and relax."

It is a taboo for the ministers to misrepresent the holy will in private. At this point in Li Daozong’s words, Qin Mubai already understood very well—this is actually Li Shimin taking the opportunity of such a Xiangzhou sacrifice to let Gao Yang openly come over and meet me. Meeting, at the same time, is equivalent to an announcement in disguise. He has acquiesced and acknowledged my "relationship" with Gao Yang.

"This also means that from now on, my relationship with Gao Yang has been completely'publicized' and'legalized'." Qin Mubai thought secretly, "Maybe it's because I'm in Xiangyang. Zhou did a good job. He has made great contributions to destroying water ghosts and recovering Yuxi. Although I am not in Chang'an, I must have made a lot of limelight on the court, which made Li Shimin think that my "quasi-son-in-law" is still given to him. Long face..."

"Boy, you are really a blessed general." Li Daozong said with a smile, "It's been only half a year in Xiangzhou. You did a good job. I heard Li Ke talk about the twists and turns in this experience in detail, it's really a wit Douyong is thrilling, and even this king gives birth to a bit of admiration for you. That’s not bad. It’s wonderful to crack the treasure map to find the tomb of Emperor Yang, and at the same time find the jade seal. The jade seal is a thing for ordinary people. It doesn’t make much sense, but it’s extraordinary to the emperor. You find the jade seal to return it to your majesty’s imperial case. This credit cannot be measured by an accurate thing. How many enemies have been killed after a victory You can see how many cities and land you have at a glance; you can also tell whether you are running the country and governing the country and whether you have a clear performance in politics. But your credit lies in your majesty's heart. You made him happy, very happy. You understand. Right?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "I am also lucky."

"Hey, this is the second time you say this today. It's not good to be too modest!" Li Daozong smiled, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years. In the past few years, he used self The engraved'Shoumingbao' is used as a jade seal. To put it bluntly, it is to masturbate. Although the throne is seated, he always feels that there is something shortcoming-that is the jade seal. Don’t underestimate the jade seal. Officials need to tell themselves, and the woman who marries her husband needs a marriage certificate. These are all indispensable, otherwise it is like a fake and not recognized. The emperor lacks the jade seal, although others dare not say anything, but He would have such thoughts in his heart. Later, when the Turkic Yuxi came back, his Majesty was really happy at the time. But later, he soon learned that the Yuxi was fake. So he was extremely discouraged and disappointed, but he could not outsiders. Speaking."

"What, your Majesty knew that the previous jade seal was fake?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise.

"Of course." Li Daozong nodded and smiled, "It is Xiao Yu who helped him distinguish the authenticity. Because in the previous dynasty, Xiao Yu had helped Yang Guang keep Yuxi. His Majesty did not accept it at that time. He just didn't want to make this matter public, so as not to cause trouble. But he couldn't understand too much in his heart that Xiao Yuan was a man of upright personality, he would not lie, nor would he not tell the truth because he was afraid of upsetting the emperor. Since he said that the jade seal is fake, it must be fake. Therefore, for these years, your majesty has been secretly sending people to search for the whereabouts of the jade seal, but to no avail, this made him very distressed. What a coincidence, your kid is here. In a place like the state, the Yuxi was found in an incredible way. You said, this is not for your majesty to send charcoal in the snow? Therefore, your majesty praised it many times in public, saying that you are a member of the "Fortune General of the Tang Dynasty", haha !"

"It turns out that there are such secrets and reasons for love, no wonder." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "If it were me, I had been searching for something for many years but could not find it. Suddenly someone gave it to If you lose me, then I will definitely be very happy."

"That's what it means." Li Daozong smiled, glanced at Princess Gao Yang who was admiring the pictures on the wall, and whispered, "So, your Majesty let the princess come with me. You, Understand?"

Qin Mubai smiled and nodded.

"When a person is filled with luck and ability at the same time, and he is modest and cautious and a way of life, then he is really not far from making meritorious deeds." Li Daozong nodded with a deep smile and said, " Mu Bai, you have a bright future!"

"The prince loves to make me happy."

Qin Mubai's laugh was not over, and a door came outside, Li Daozong's personal attendant. He reported that there was a general from Prince Wu's Mansion outside the mansion who asked to see General Qin in a hurry, claiming to be Xue Li.

"Oh, it's him, there must be something important to come to me, Lord, wait until I go out to see him." Qin Mubai hurriedly got up and said.

"It's okay, please invite him in." Li Daozong ordered.

The attendant retired and asked Xue Rengui.

Li Daozong said: "I have heard Li Ke talk about Xue Rengui many times. He is a man of outstanding virtue and talent. It is said that his martial arts is exceptionally good. You introduced him to him?"

"Sure it!" Qin Mubai smiled.

Li Daozong nodded and laughed, and said with emotion: "It is a great blessing for Li Ke to meet you."

Speaking, Xue Rengui came in.

Since Li Ke left Xiangzhou, Xue Rengui did not stay in the military mansion. He stayed in the governor's mansion. He was mainly responsible for commanding the soldiers of the royal mansion and taking care of both safety and defense.

Looking at Xue Rengui, who was wearing a military armor robe, walked in, Li Daozong couldn't help but blurt out his eyes and praised: "Heroic!"

"Xue Li, a humble servant, sees the prince, and has met General Qin." Xue Rengui held his fists and gave salutes.

"No need to be polite." Li Daozong looked at Xue Rengui up and down and smiled, "If you have something to find Mu Bai, then please feel free to both of you! However, this king has repeatedly heard that your martial arts is outstanding. I always want to see and see."

Xue Rengui was slightly surprised, and hurriedly clasped his fists, saying: "Xue Moujie, a poor and low-ranking martial artist, has taught himself some crude fists and knives. He can't be called martial arts, I'm afraid he won't be able to get into the eyes of the king."

"You and Qin Mubai have the same problems, too self-humbly!" Li Daozong laughed haha, "Well, if you have business, you can tell me first, this king will not delay you. Anyway, there will be time later."

"Thank the prince." Xue Rengui gave a salute and said to Qin Mubai, "General, the servant of the palace just hurried to report and said...The princess is sick and is very critical!"

"What?" Qin Mubai was startled, "I went to see her in the morning, it seems to be quite stable, why suddenly..."

"I don't know about the humble job." Xue Rengui wrinkled his brows and said, "The doctor is already doing first aid. Su Lianqing said that the situation does not seem to be too optimistic. In case it is difficult to save, Wang Wu is not here at this moment, so he has to ask The general is over."

The meaning of Xue Rengui's words can be regarded as clear. If the princess died at this time, if you leave any last words, please ask Qin Mubai to convey it on your behalf. After all, when Li Ke left, he entrusted the princess and the princess to him.

Qin Mubai got up immediately. Before he could speak, Li Daozong also stood up and greeted the princess Gaoyang who was still playing in another room——

"Gao Yang, go, go to your third brother's house!"

"Why do you scream so quickly?" Princess Gao Yang ran over, still smiling.

"Your imperial wife is critically ill!"

"Ah!—" Princess Gao Yang was taken aback.

"Hurry up!"

The group of people only rode horses, and quickly left the hallway and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

Princess Gao Yang rode with Qin Mubai and was held in his arms. She asked anxiously: "Mu Bai, why did Huang's wife suddenly become seriously ill?"

"It's not sudden. It's been a long time since I've been seriously ill." Qin Mubai said with a frown.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and send a letter to remind the third brother to come back!"

"...I have to write now!"

Everyone rushed to the Governor's Mansion, and the backyard was full of silence, and everyone was afraid to speak loudly. Several maidservants and doctors nervously entered and exited the princess's bedroom, often taking out packages of clothes with some fishy smell.

Qin Mubai, Li Daozong, and Princess Gao Yang were about to go in. A doctor hurriedly stopped them and explained the difference and origin. He still refused to let him go, and insisted: "The prince and the general please stay. Your Royal Highness will go in and take a look. It’s okay to see, but don’t stay too long!"

"Oh, then I'll go in and see the emperor's wife..." Princess Gaoyang nodded suspiciously, and went into the room.

What the doctor said, Qin Mubai and Li Daozong probably knew how the princess was.

In fact, Qin Mubai had known about the princess's illness for a long time. Simply put, it is probably a disease like "uterine cancer"!

I heard Li Ke said that the princess was already weak and often had abdominal pain. Qin Mubai guessed that she probably had a tumor early. However, medicine in this era has obviously not been developed to such an extent, especially the "women" disease is quite private, and it is inconvenient to speak out or ask someone for treatment. Later, the princess was pregnant and gave birth and suffered a dystocia, which further aggravated the condition. After one year, it has deteriorated to such an extent!

Qin Mubai knew very well that the time for the princess was indeed running out. If it weren’t because she was clenching her teeth and waiting for Li Ke’s return, she would have already seen her...

The two stood waiting in the courtyard, and neither said much. After a long while, Li Daozong sighed leisurely and shook his head: "The beauty is fate!"

"Wu Wang, is a nice person. An admirable nice woman." Qin Mubai let out a sigh.

"Their father and son are really alike." Li Daozong said suddenly, "Even the women they met are so alike. These two women are the same fate!"

Qin Mubai knows of course that he is referring to Empress Longsun and Princess Wu Yang.

"I will write a letter right away, rushing six hundred miles to Chang'an, urging His Royal Highness to come back." Qin Mubai said.

Li Daozong thought for a while and nodded: "You should be in a hurry, write it! Let him not have to wait for the prince to come together!"

"Good!"

Immediately, Qin Mubai went to the study and wrote a letter, stamped with an expedited order from the Governor's Mansion, and sent to the post to Chang'an.

At this time, Princess Gao Yang had come out of the princess's room, with a sad expression on her face, and there were still tears on her eyelids. "The emperor's wife is so pitiful, she's skinny and she's not pretty anymore. She is so painful that her face is yellow and white, and only a trace of breath is left. I'm so worried that she will..." Princess Gao Yang muttered sadly Murmured.

"Don't worry." Qin Mubai took her hand and patted gently, comforting.

Li Daozong stepped forward to call one of the doctors, and said to him: "This is the end of the matter, no matter what, you must keep her breath until King Wu comes back!"

"The lowly ranks and others must do their best!" The doctors also knew that the princess's life would definitely not be saved, it was just a matter of time. Nowadays, it is a moment to live one more moment, do everything, and obey the fate!

Qin Mubai stepped forward and said to Li Daozong: "My lord, it will take two days to get to Chang'an at the earliest for the six hundred li urgent documents. There will always be a delay in the middle. Then count the steps of your highness, It will take six or seven days at the earliest for your Highness to come back."

"Yes, I know." Li Daozong furrowed his eyebrows, shaking his head and sighing: "Bad child, I really hope she can bear the pain that ordinary people can't bear, and survive these few days..."

"Poor imperial sister-in-law...oooo!" Princess Gaoyang was already crying.

"Go, don't cry here, it won't be easy for the princess to hear." Qin Mubai took her away from here, and Li Daozong also left. The three temporarily left the palace where the princess lived, and took a rest in the hall where Qin Mubai used to do business affairs.

After a long time, the doctor came back and forth in relief, saying, "The princess has survived." Next, use various methods and needle stone potions, but I am afraid it will not last three days!

"Only three days!" Li Daozong and Qin Mubai were disappointed together.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Princess Gao Yang cried very sadly, "What should I do, Mu Bai, you must think of a way!"

At this moment, Qin Mubai was also completely helpless, so he shook his head regretfully, and said: "If I have a way...I won't stand by here."

"God is like this, how can people do it?" Li Daozong sighed, closing his eyes and shaking his head.

For the next three days, everyone couldn't be happy, let alone have fun. In the evening, the doctor said that the princess had only one last breath. After being in a coma for a long time, she suddenly regained consciousness, as if she was back to light. If there is a last word, you have to send someone to listen to it.

At this time, everyone can no longer be taboo. Princess Gao Yang carried the young princess and entered her ward with Qin Mubai and Li Daozong.

The princess was covered with a brand-new brocade quilt, only one face was exposed, and her hair was neatly combed. As Princess Gao Yang said, she was so skinny that she was only skinny, her face was yellow with sunken eyes, her lips were gray and blistered, and her whole person was gray and she was no longer half-faced.

She half-opened her eyes to see Qin Mubai and others come in. With the help of the maidservant, she turned her head with difficulty, and said angrily: "Uncle Emperor, Sister Emperor, General Qin, I am seriously ill. I can’t get up to greet him, and please forgive me..." "You don’t need to be polite, it’s all a family." Li Daozong stared at her with a smile, and said, "You gave Ke'er a nice daughter, so beautiful, like You."

The princess reluctantly squeezed out a hint of ashamed and grateful smile, closed her eyelids twice as a reward, and said, "Is he going to come back?"

"Yeah." Li Daozong nodded, his face still smiling, as if chatting, "I will help you scold him."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor." The princess smiled unexpectedly, but there were two lines of tears streaming down her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Princess Gao Yang cried bitterly, but she pressed her lips to her lips, not daring to cry. Qin Mubai had to stretch out a hand and gently pat her back to show her comfort. She nestled on Qin Mubai's body, her body trembling with sobbing.

"If you have anything, please tell me. We can all convey it for you." Li Daozong said, holding the little princess.

At this moment, the little princess who was less than a year old suddenly burst into tears and stretched out her immature hand to the princess.

The princess's eyes were a little lost, staring blankly at her baby girl, tears raining down, her lips moved and she couldn't speak. Raised a hand hard, but it kept shaking. Li Daozong bent down and let her hand hold the little princess's hand.

"Let, let him... take good care of... girl..." the princess said hard, breathing heavily. At this moment, her eyes widened, and the light in her pupils was diminishing.

"Okay, I will tell him." Li Daozong frowned and nodded solemnly. At this moment, his eyes are also a little moist.

"Woo...His Royal Highness!" The two maids who were waiting next to them could not help crying.

Seeing that one of the princess's arms was about to fall, she swallowed one last breath!

Suddenly, a figure rushed in from the door, and quickly rushed to the princess's hospital bed and squatted down!

Li Ke!

With a "pop", Li Ke shook her hand heavily and pressed it to his face.

"I'm back!"

"Ke...Ke!"

`The princess said the last two words, and finally a gratified smile appeared on her face, and she will always freeze...
