After coming out of Zichen Hall, it was almost noon. Li Mao walked on the straight and spacious imperial road. Looking at the roof of Hanguang Hall, which was shining brightly under the sun and shining with golden light, although there was not much turmoil in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh.

Today's comments were shocking and without any danger. Everything was under the control of Li Mao, but it also reminded Li Mao that Li Longji's other town was no longer as relieved as before. Li Longji's inquiry about Li Mao and Li Yi was proof of it.

However, Li Yi in Chang'an is not the real Li Yi. In order to prevent it, Li Mao left Li Yi in Jiannan and raised by Wu Yunniang himself, while Gao Shi's third son was brought to Chang'an.

Li Mao walked on Longwei Road and thought about what he had just had, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Just as he was thinking about his all-out plan, a woman dressed in a female official suddenly appeared in front of Li Mao.

"I, Su Qiu, the Minister of the Palace, met His Highness Jing." The woman walked to Li Maodi and knelt down and bowed.

Li Mao looked at Su Qiu kneeling in front of him and naturally knew her identity. However, although she had dealt with her in the past, she was Yang Yuyao's person after all. Since Li Mao and Yang Yuyao broke up, Li Mao had never seen her for a while.

"Get up, you are a celebrity next to the queen. Why do you come to see me today if you have time?" Li Mao raised his hand and asked.

Su Qiu replied respectfully: "I am here to find Your Highness on the order of the Empress."

When Li Mao heard that Su Qiuxun had actually followed Yang Yuyao's orders, Li Mao couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked, "What did the Empress send you to find me?"

Su Qiu pointed to Shaoyang Courtyard on the east side of the Imperial Road and said to Li Mao: "The Empress is the Prime Minister of Shaoyang Courtyard, and I hope your highness will be there."

When Li Mao heard Su Qiu's words, he frowned and said, "The Empress and I have long stopped interacting with each other. What's the matter with the sudden summoning today?"

Su Qiu replied: "How can you tell me about the matter of the Empress? I hope your highness will go with me. I have said that this matter is of great importance, and you will never regret it if you go."

Not long ago, Li Mao had just told Yang Yuyao that Li Mao naturally did not want to see Yang Yuyao in this matter, but since Yang Yuyao had already said that, Li Mao had to meet him. After all, it might not be easy for Yang Yuyao to help Li Mao accomplish things, but it would not be difficult if he was determined to ruin Li Mao's affairs.

"Lead ahead." Li Mao ordered Su Qiu and followed Su Qiu to Shaoyang Courtyard.

Shaoyang Courtyard is located in the south of Hanyuan Hall, close to Hanlin Courtyard and Menxia Province. It was originally the residence of the eldest son of the emperor when he was young. Because the eldest son of the Emperor Li Cong had already grown up and the crown prince had already been settled, Shaoyang Courtyard became the residence of the young King of Ying Li Jun. However, now Li Jun is young, so he temporarily lives in the Zilan Hall with Yang Yuyao, and then moves into the Shaoyang Courtyard after he gets older.

Although Shaoyang Courtyard is not as good as the Eastern Palace, it is in the Ming Palace after all, which shows its grace.

Li Mao followed Su Qiu into Shaoyang Courtyard and went directly to the inner hall of Shaoyang Courtyard, while Yang Yuyao was waiting in the inner hall with Xiao Li Jun in her arms.

Su Qiu led Li Mao into the inner hall and left directly, leaving only Li Mao and Yang Yuyao holding Li Jun in the hall.

"My minister Li Mao, pay homage to the Empress." Although Li Mao was the prince, he was still a minister in front of Empress Yang Yuyao, so Li Mao leaned over and said to him.

Seeing Li Mao looking serious, Yang Yuyao couldn't help but smile and said, "You and I have an unusual relationship, why should you be so polite?"

Since he was conquered Yang Yuyao, Li Mao began to deliberately estrange himself from him. When Li Mao heard Yang Yuyao say this, he hurriedly said: "The past is unbearable, why should I mention the old things again? It's just annoying."

Yang Yuyao looked at Li Maodi, obviously looking deliberately alienated, so she looked down at Li Jun and smiled: "The past between Prince Jing and the palace are unbearable. Does Lian Jun'er want to admit it?"

When Li Mao heard Yang Yuyao say this, his heart trembled suddenly, his eyes stared at Yang Yuyao and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yang Yuyao did not answer Li Mao's words, but directly sent Li Jun to Li Maodi and asked, "Looking at Jun'er, don't you think he looks very similar to your eyebrows?"

Li Jun is now two years old and his eyebrows are basically clear. Li Mao took Li Jun and looked down. Li Jun's eyebrows and eyes were indeed similar to Li Mao, almost carved from the same mold.

However, Li Mao was quite similar to Li Longji when he was young, and Li Jun looked similar to Li Mao. What can this point alone mean?

Seeing that Li Mao looked at Li Jun without saying anything, Yang Yuyao had guessed Li Mao’s thoughts in her heart, so she said, “You don’t have to doubt that Jun’er is my child, I am Jun’er’s mother, and I know more than anyone else who Jun’er’s father is.”

Yang Yuyao had already said this, and Li Mao could not refute anything, but just asked: "Since you are so sure, why did you tell me today."

Yang Yuyao replied without any concealment: "Because Jun'er needs you now, and needs his father to help him ascend the throne."

Yang Yuyao's life has not been easy recently. Yang Guozhong and An Lushan fight each other and Yang Yuyao is very worried. She gradually lost patience with Yang Guozhong, who is mediocre. She wanted to find an ally she truly satisfies with, and this person is undoubtedly Li Mao.

However, Li Mao didn't seem to want to buy Yang Yuyao's account. Li Mao sneered: "The throne? Jun'er is just a two-year-old child. How could he know what the throne is? He said it out loud, isn't it your own meaning?"

Yang Yuyao said, "What's wrong with that? As long as you can help Jun'er ascend to the throne, I will be the empress dowager of the Tang Dynasty, and you and I will join forces. Isn't this Tang Dynasty the final decision? The emperor is getting older and older, and his health is getting worse day by day. I don't know how many years will be alive. If you and I don't join forces to kill Li Heng, it will be too late."

Although Yang Yuyao's words made sense, Li Mao was not the same as her.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is difficult to return and has been in a state of chaos for a long time. If you want to avoid the Tang Dynasty following the old path, the only one who can save the Tang Dynasty is to ascend the throne, run the world, use thunder to eliminate the ills, abolish the Jiedu, and restore the military palace to work. All this is by no means what a real and nameless regent can do.

It was not enough for Li Mao to treat a regent in the Tang Dynasty. He needed a higher position and absolute name - the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is to satisfy his ambitions, to be able to ascend to the court, or to make the country fall soon, Li Mao had only one choice, to cross every opponent around him and ascend to the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mao refused without thinking: "The Tao is different and they don't plan for each other. I can't agree with the Queen's words. If the Queen has no other important matters, she will surrender."

Li Mao gently pinched Li Jun's cheek, handed him to Yang Yuyuyao's hand, and then bowed and left.
