In the room, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were discussing how to help Li Lizhi.
"Brother Qin, were you on duty that day? How should he help Sister Zhi 'er escape from the Hall of Eternal Joy?”
"From the tone of Sister Zhi 'er's letter, His Majesty is keeping a close watch on her.”Cheng Chumo asked.
Qin Huaiyu frowned." I was indeed not on duty that day. My father told me to go with him to congratulate Jiang Xia Princess Consort on her birthday.”
"Me too." Cheng Chumo said," My father also told me to adjust the time to celebrate the princess consort's birthday.”
"What should we do? Why don't we just not go?"
"That won't do." Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice," You and I are both the eldest sons of the family. We have to appear at such an occasion. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion."”
"How about this, Sister Zhi 'er's appointment is at the end of the day, and our birthday celebration is at the beginning of the day.”
"We'll leave after the birthday celebration."
"If you and my father ask, we'll say that we'll bring some birthday wine to the brothers on duty, so that they can share the joy.”
"I shouldn't be rejected."
"When the time comes, I'll use the birthday wine to send the brothers of the Thousand Bull Guard away and secretly go to the Hall of Eternal Joy to protect Sister Zhi 'er.”
"When Sister Zhi 'er gets on the Empress's phoenix carriage and leaves the palace, it'll be up to you.”
"Alright." Cheng Chumo nodded," Then I will do it according to your method. I am the city gate guard, so I am more relaxed than you. It should be easier to implement."”
"Brother Qin, you have to be careful.”
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Qin Huaiyu responded, frowning in deep thought.
"By the way, when are you going to deliver that letter?”
Cheng Chumo thought for a moment." I plan to send it in a few days. We can't rush it all in one day."”
"No!" "You have to deliver it on the same day," Qin Huaiyu stopped him.”
"Why?" Cheng Chumo was a little confused. If they were sent on the same day, it would be very messy. If there was an accident, it would be troublesome.
Qin Huaiyu was very smart. He muttered,"Brother, from Sister Zhi 'er's tone, you should know that they are very much in love.”
"If you send the letter ahead of time, what if Sister Zhi 'er's husband loses his cool?”
"If he acts blindly, he will definitely mess up the overall situation. At that time, all our efforts will be in vain!”
Cheng Chumo nodded." Brother Qin's reminder is right. We can't send it in advance."”
"Then when should I send it?"
"The later the better. Aren't we celebrating our birthday at the beginning of the day?”
"You can go when you're drinking, just come back before the hour.”
"The later he finds out about this, the better it will be for us.”
"By the time we pick up Sister Zhi 'er, they'll be far away, and we'll have completed our mission.”
Cheng Chumo nodded." Alright, we'll listen to Brother Qin."”
"Alright, that's it. If there's a change in the plan, we'll discuss it.”
"I'll go back first. If I stay too late, my father will be suspicious.”As he spoke, Qin Huaiyu stood up.
"Then I won't keep you. I'll send you out.”
"Yes."
The two brothers walked out of the Cheng Manor one after another.
Qin Huaiyu cupped his fists and bid farewell. The two of them went to make their preparations.
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Er stayed in the royal study for a while before arriving at the Dew Hall.
Zhangsun Wugou went to the entrance of the hall to receive the fight.
Zhangsun Wugou was a little surprised to see Li Er drunk.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? And so much wine?"
Li Er smiled and held Zhangsun Wugou's hand." Haha, I'm very happy today.”
"Do you still remember the otherworldly expert that I told you about? He told me a method."
"I can resolve the crisis of the food shortage.”
When Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he was also very happy." Really? Then ChenQie congratulates Your Majesty."
"This expert actually has such ability. It's really rare.”
"ChenQie would like to see it."
Li Er smiled and waved his hand." Now is not the time. After I deal with the food shortage, I will find an opportunity to bring you to meet him."”
"Alright, Your Majesty, please enter the palace."
"Men, prepare some ginger soup for His Majesty to dispel the cold and sober up.”
"Yes."
Zhangsun Wugou helped Li Er into the bedroom.
Li Er lay on the dragon bed while Zhangsun Wugou sat beside him, massaging his legs gently.
"Second brother, I have something to discuss with you.”
"Okay, go ahead."
"Jiang Xia King Li Daozong's princess consort's birthday is coming soon.”
"I want to ask Second Brother, what birthday gift should I prepare?”
Li Erzui waved his hand with hazy eyes." I'll make the decision myself."”
"Since it's Li Daozong's princess 'birthday, zhen can't say much.”
Zhangsun Wugou nodded." Alright, then I'll make the preparations myself.”
"Your Majesty, are you going to ask for a cup of birthday wine?”
This was what Zhangsun Wugou really wanted to ask. If Li Er went too, then she would have to go with him. At that time, she was afraid that she would not be able to arrange for Li Lizhi.
However, according to the customs of the Great Tang, it was not convenient for Li Er to attend the princess 'birthday.
Li Er waved his hand." It's the princess 'birthday. How can I go?”
"If it was Li Daozong's birthday celebration, that would be more like it.”
"Servant, go by yourself."
Zhangsun Wugou was ecstatic." Alright, then I'll go by myself.”
"Empress, His Majesty's ginger soup is ready.”The palace maid reported from outside the bedroom.
"Second Brother, the ginger soup is here. Do you want some?”
Li Er waved his hand." I'm tired…"
As he spoke, Li Er turned around. After a while, he started snoring.
Zhangsun Wugou covered Li Er with a blanket and turned to leave.
After Zhangsun Wugou left, Li Er slowly opened his eyes.
"Princess Consort's birthday? Hmph, I want to see what tricks you guys are up to!”
……
Zhangsun Wugou left the Dew Palace Hall and prepared a package before arriving at the Eternal Joy Palace Hall.
"Your son welcomes mother." Li Lizhi welcomed him respectfully.
"Yes." Zhangsun Wugou nodded and waved his hand at the palace maid." You may all leave."”
"Yes." The palace maid left.
Zhangsun Wugou held Li Lizhi's hand and walked into the bedroom.
"Zhi 'er, this is the palace dress of Imperial Mother's personal palace maid. When the day comes, change into the palace dress and wait at the door. Imperial Mother will think of a way to bring you to the imperial carriage.”
Li Lizhi nodded." Thank you, Mother."”
Zhangsun Wugou held Li Lizhi's hand with tears in his eyes." Silly child, don't thank me.”
"Let mother see you again. If she wants to see you again in the future…"
"Mother!" Li Lizhi hugged Zhangsun Wugou and cried bitterly.
Zhangsun Wugou gently patted Li Lizhi's back as tears streamed down his face.
At this moment, even if she had thousands of words, she could not say them.
……
After sending Zhangsun Wugou off, Li Lizhi stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at the night sky, muttering to herself.
"Husband, children, we will meet in fifteen days.”
"You guys have to wait for me…"
