Li Shimin wanted to send Empress Changsun and Li Yuan to Yizhou for medical treatment, which caused a lot of trouble in Chang'an. Many ministers opposed it, and of course more supported it.

The Tang Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and benevolence. Li Shimin had always treated Li Yuan indifferently. This sudden change of attitude made many ministers who put loyalty and filial piety first were very pleased.

But Changsun Wuji stood firmly on the side of Li Shimin. Li Shimin was worried about the condition of Empress Changsun. If it can't be cured, all beheads will be executed, and those ministers who stick to the rules and say that it is not suitable for the queen and the emperor to go to the fiefdom of the vassal king will suddenly wither.

Since Empress Changsun and Li Yuan are going to Yizhou, there are many things involved. Li Yin's plan to leave Chang'an in advance has completely failed, and he can only wait for Li Shimin to make preparations.

Li Yin was not idle during the boring waiting time. Cheng Huailiang and several bad friends came to find Li Yin almost every day to drink and have fun in Chang'an City.

"By the way, Your Highness, do you still remember Luo Xiaoyi, the former Chang'an oiran?"

One day, when Li Yin was drinking with Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang, Lu Boyan suddenly said after drinking a few glasses of wine that after Li Yin left Chang'an, Lu Boyan was still hanging around the place of fireworks as before, and Lu Shang hated him. Unable to live up to expectations, he kicked him to Lingzhou to make a long history.

"Luo Xiaoyi!" The word has almost become a distant memory. Now that it is mentioned, Li Yin suddenly feels a little sad, "Why did you mention her all of a sudden!"

Seeing Li Yin's unhappy face, Xiao Rui and Cheng Huailiang kicked Lu Boyan, complaining that he really didn't open any pot and carried which pot.

Lu Boyan punched back one by one, and said, "I just remembered one thing this year, because Lingzhou and the original border of East Turkic were adjacent. So there are often Turkic people doing business in Lingzhou. In October this year , I saw a woman in a caravan who was very similar to Luo Xiaoyi, but at that time I didn't pay attention to it because of other things, but after I came back, the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was her!"

"Whether she has anything to do with it is a thing of the past, and she is just a poor woman." Li Yin said after taking a sip, he had already figured out Luo Xiaoyi's life experience, and put himself in his shoes. If he was in Luo Xiaoyi's position, what choice would he have. It's just that his sympathy is all sympathy, but even if Luo Xiaoyi is in front of him, he will not accept her again.

Xiao Rui's ability to observe words and emotions is much better than before, he said: "That is, why mention her, come to drink, talk about some happy things, by the way, Huaiyu, how are you now? Have a relationship with that little lady of the Zheng family? No new developments."

Said that this may be the happiest thing for Qin Huaiyu during the Chinese New Year. Qin Huaiyu was still the same when he returned to the Duke's residence. Although Qin Shubao was very enthusiastic towards him, although Zhang shi restrained himself a lot, he was still polite. But he was Sang Yu who lost the East and gained the Sang Yu. When Zheng Binglan was depressed because of the Zheng family, Qin Huaiyu accompanied Zheng Binglan every day, although he just sat and didn't speak. But Zheng Binglan was still moved by Qin Huaiyu's persistence, "She promised to marry me!"

"Really, fake?" Lu Boyan opened his mouth wide. It was envy, jealousy and hatred, now he is the only one who has no family among them, Cheng Huailiang married Princess Qinghe, Li Yin married the eldest daughter of the Cui family, Xiao Rui also got a marriage gift, Li Shimin planned to betroth Princess Xiangcheng to him.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Yin and the others cupped their hands at the same time, and Qin Huaiyu smirked happily.

Cheng Huailiang said: "I heard that Zheng Binglan is as beautiful as a flower, and her younger sister is also pretty. Huaiyu also thinks about the brothers, when will she introduce Zheng Binglu to us for acquaintance, ouch..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yin gave him a slap on the head. Li Yin said: "You kid, what ideas do you have? If you dare to find another concubine, let's see how I deal with you."

Xiao Rui shuddered when he saw it. It was not easy to marry a princess. Not to mention being under the supervision of the princess, he had to be threatened by his brother-in-law, but he was also sad when he thought of himself.

Cheng Huailiang covered his head and said: "I am wronged, Your Highness, how dare I, I don't even have a copper coin with me when I go out now."

"It's not too bad." Li Yin withdrew his fist.

After a drink until the sun set in the western mountains, Li Yin said: "Tomorrow I will return to Yizhou, and I can't say when we will see each other again, everyone take care of it!"

The three are also a little sad, but they understand that as they grow older, their chances of meeting will only decrease, and they will all be busy with their own affairs in the future.

"Your Highness, take care!", the three stood up and said in unison.

Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu also stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Treasure, see you someday!"

The convoy will leave tomorrow. This is the last gathering of him and his bad friends in Chang'an. After saying goodbye to the three of them, Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu rushed to the hotel.

The next day, Li Yin's convoy was ready and marched towards Mingde Gate. At the gate of the city, Li Yin's convoy stopped, waiting to **** the convoy of Empress Changsun and Li Yuan.

This trip back, Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu were both riding horses, and each led 500 cavalry. Li Yin was also worried about taking this errand, but he just hoped that nothing would happen on the way, so he personally acted as the guard.

After waiting for half an hour, the convoy escorted by the imperial guards came to Mingde Gate. Li Shimin rode on the west side of the convoy. When they reached the gate of the city, Li Shimin dismounted and walked towards Li Yin.

"Father!" Li Yin called out respectfully.

Li Shimin patted Li Min on the shoulder, glanced at the two carriages, one was his father, the other was his queen, and he said: "My son, I will hand over the queen and the Supreme Emperor to you."

"Yes, father, my son will definitely do his best!" Li Yin's words were resounding.

In addition to Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian, and the princes of Li Tai also came to see the eldest grandson empress off. The eldest grandson Wuji bowed to Li Yin and said sincerely: "Your Highness, if you have offended me before, please forgive me." The adults don't remember the faults of the villains, so please entrust the illness of Empress Changsun to His Highness.”

Changsun Wuji's words came from the heart. There is no permanent enemy in politics, and Li Yin was willing to sell this favor. He helped Changsun Wuji up, "Changsun Ge, please, I should find a good doctor for my mother." made."

"Your Highness is benevolent and filial, and the old minister admires you!" Changsun Wuji said emotionally.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai also saluted Li Yin at this time. Both Li Zhi and Sizi had red and swollen eyes. They knew that Empress Changsun was going to Yizhou, and they both cried non-stop. Growing up under the care of her mother, she naturally has a deep love between mother and child.

Hearing the movement outside, Empress Changsun lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Your Majesty, please go back. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of human beings, so don't worry too much."

Li Shimin sighed and nodded, "Hurry up as soon as possible!"

Then he walked to the previous carriage, and Li Yuan was lying in this carriage. Compared with Empress Changsun, Li Yuan was in a more serious condition, unable to sit up, and could only lie down, "Father, the child will not be far away. "

Li Yuan is already sixty-seven years old this year. He has a large face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and faces pressure. However, years of illness have left Li Yuan skinny and skinny. He thought he would die alone, but he did not expect it to be at this moment , Li Shimin stepped into Hongyi Palace to see him for the first time, and reawakened the father-son relationship between them. Although it was difficult to do any movements, Li Yuan nodded heavily, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Li Shimin sighed, left the carriage, and said some farewell words to Empress Changsun, and then he let the team start to set off.

"Sixth brother, you must be able to cure your mother's illness, right?" The convoy started to move, and Sizi came over with tears in his eyes, looking at Li Yin tearfully.

Empress Changsun went to Yizhou. Li Shimin asked Concubine Yang to take care of Sizi and Li Zhi temporarily. Concubine Yang took Sizi's hand and said, "Sizi, your sixth brother will definitely heal your mother."

"Yes, Brother Six will definitely be able to." Li Yin followed Concubine Yang's words.

Xi Zi clenched his small fist, "Xi Zi believes in Sixth Brother!"

Li Yin scratched her little nose, and said to Li Shimin: "Father, my son is leaving now!"

"Well, walk carefully!" Li Shimin said a few words.

Every father is good at using actions but not good at expressing feelings with words. Although Li Shimin's words are short, they also contain concern for Li Yin.

"Yes, father!" Li Yin finally looked at the person who came to see him off, got on his horse, clasped his hands, and chased forward.

The convoy left Chang'an slowly and orderly. Li Shimin took the people off and did not return until the last carriage left. At this moment, he suddenly felt powerless in his heart. He could conquer the whole country, but he could not conquer a small country. At this time, he was once again thankful for his choice at the beginning, and it was right to give Li Yin such support.

Li Chengqian looked at the fleet going away with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he should be grateful to Li Yin at this time, but gratitude was gratitude, but he still would not retreat because of this kind of gratitude when facing the throne.

It's just that this kind of thinking was immediately replaced by another thing. At this time, he was still thinking about one thing. A few days ago, he learned that Li You was going to attack Li Yin, so he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight proudly. What he didn't understand was that according to the information he got, Li You didn't order Li Yin to be assassinated, but Li Yin obviously found two people who sneaked into the bedroom and tried to assassinate him. What's going on?

Li Chengqian didn't understand, and Li You was even more confused. After sorting out all the information, Yin Hongzhi came to a conclusion that there were other people of unknown origin mixed in among the dead soldiers in the Qi Palace.

"Check, you must find out the truth for me. Liang Mengbiao and Zan Junmo are two idiots who deserve to die. What kind of dead men are they? If it wasn't for this bunch of waste, this king wouldn't be in such a mess." Li You said to Yin Hongzhi. After analyzing the situation, his lungs were about to explode.

At this time, Li Yin didn't know that Li You was also tricked by others. He and Qin Huaiyu carefully escorted the two great gods back to Yizhou. Whether they can be cured is also very important to Li Yin. In the future, you will be able to get the gratitude of Empress Changsun and Li Yuan, and both of them are seemingly insignificant figures who can shake mountains when they move. Li Yin still likes to exchange a small price for a big favor. (To be continued..)
