After quitting the Fang family residence, Li Tong took Li Shouli to comfort Li Guangshun again.

Li Guangshun's eyes were still red and apologized to them repeatedly. This attitude made Li Tong convinced that this brother must have suffered a greater sorrow than him and Li Shouli, and he could not even get the intimacy of his mother. He had an unpredictable future and could not get the warmth of family affection.

When he returned to his residence, it was still some time before dark, Li Tong called Zheng Jin and asked, "I saw how strict the Empress was to my elder brother, can you tell me why my aunt?"

When Zheng Jin heard this, he sighed: "Dalang is also a poor person. His mother is too heartless and unwilling to share the blessings of her family. She even abandoned her own baby, which is quite similar to the supreme character..."

As Zheng Jin talked, Li Tong understood the reason. It turned out that Li Guangshun's biological mother chose to expel herself from the mansion as early as when Li Xian was deposed, and she was unwilling to stay and share the good and bad fortune with her family.

The Tang Dynasty's laws and regulations have many human considerations. Even if it is an unforgivable sin, it adheres to the principle that disaster is not as good as family members. As long as it can provide evidence that has nothing to do with the sin, even parents, brothers and other relatives can be exempted from punishment.

Of course, the law is on one hand and the execution is on the other hand. Especially in the era of cruel officials when Empress Wu was in power, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and other cruel officials were framed, fearing that the case would not be big, and the Tang Dynasty's criminal law was simply a joke.

For example, in the case of the rebellion of the old crown prince Li Xian in the past year, Gao Shilian's grandson Gao Qi was involved in the case and was ordered by Emperor Gaozong to return home and sacrifice himself. Gao Shilian was Changsun Wuji's uncle. His family had been implicated in the case of Changsun Wuji's rebellion. He was scared to death when such a thing happened. After Gao Qi returned home, he was killed by his father and brother in lynching. His cruel behavior made people look at him sideways.

As for Li Guangshun's biological mother's request to leave the house, what Zheng Jin said was specially approved by Empress Wu. After thinking about this, Li Tong understood that his father Li Xian was quite famous when he was the crown prince, and even a case of rebellion could not completely dispel people's expectations.

Empress Wu was about to suppress Li Xian at that time, even if she was close to her concubines, she would not want to live in the same room with a sinner like Li Xian, who was rebellious and unfilial. Wu Zetian was happy to see her success, which was easy to understand.

But it can be seen that although Wu Zetian was heartless to his son, he did not want others to let him down. Especially when choosing an heir for Li Xian, he abandoned Li Guangshun, the eldest son, and chose Li Shouli. Even Li Guangshun was tortured and killed, which was probably the aftermath after the time went by. Even when changing his grandsons, he deliberately excluded Li Guangshun.

After learning about this, Li Tong also gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between his family. Li Guangshun's mother still had to take advantage of the situation when the disaster was about to happen, which was in sharp contrast with her biological mother Shen's pursuit of love.

Fang's true love for Li Xian, whoever treats Li Xian will naturally treat his son more kindly. It's no wonder that Fang's willingness to commit suicide must meet him to confirm his safety, but he is so cold and mean to Li Guangshun.

However, Li Tong also understood that his biological mother's death to love may not be the same as Wu Zetian. One way is to reflect Wu Zetian's indifference as a mother, and the other way is to make Wu Zetian pursue the past.

In the late period of Emperor Taizong of Tang, two concubines were well-known, one was naturally Wu Zetian, and the other was Xu Hui. Xu Hui probably entered the palace at the same time as Wu Zetian and was also named a talented person. However, unlike Wu Zetian who was neglected and unknown at that time, Xu Hui was quite popular with Emperor Taizong of Tang and his status was improved. After Emperor Taizong of Tang's death, he was so sad that he refused to use medicine. He eventually followed Emperor Taizong of Tang and was chased to be named a virtuous concubine and buried with Zhaoling.

Xu Hui's deeds are in sharp contrast with Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian naturally doesn't like Shen's daughter-in-law like Xu Hui. What's even more stunning is that Li Tong's biological mother Shen and Xu Hui are both from Huzhou, Jiangnan, and that is, Wuxing, which is inevitable that people will be compared.

If Li Tong knew that Wu Zetian's previous evaluation of his mother was "a foolish woman in a humble country, she should not be jealous of death", he should know that his psychological grasp of Wu Zetian was quite accurate. However, he naturally had no way to know this, but he could also understand the records related to the family of Prince Zhang Huai in later generations. In addition to the concubine Fang, only Li Shouli's biological mother Zhang was alive, which probably was related to Wu Zetian's personal likes and dislikes.

After understanding these things, he only eliminated a doubt in his heart. What was really in front of him was the threat brought by Xu. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. After a long time, he thought that there was always a bad eye around him monitoring his diet and daily life, Li Tong felt a sense of crisis.

Fang was cautious and unwilling to cause trouble. His elder brother Li Guangshun was also cautious and self-pity, while his second brother Li Shouli was just not to mention him. No matter how you look at it, the only reliable person in the family is Li Tong himself, and he can only do this.

Sitting in the room and pondering for a long time, Li Tong ordered the palace maid to prepare paper and ink. Calligraphy was one of his hobbies in later generations, and it was hard to be considered as amateur skills for more than ten years. He learned Yan style regular script with a more friendly attitude towards amateurs. Although he could not be called a great man, he would not show his timidity when he picked up his pen.

While recalling, Li Tong was drawing on paper, and what he wrote was a food list. Before, he sought to the director of the Folk Street Project to collect a lot of information, including diet. The Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially the aristocratic diet, had a very important document, that is, the food list for Wei Juyuan's roasted tail banquet during the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Xian.

Li Tong was not unfamiliar with this. He quickly wrote more than 30 dishes for the fried food list for the tail. When the ink was dry, he called Zheng Jin and ordered: "Send this food list to Zhitang. There is still a custom of moving to the people. My new home in Renzhiyuan should also make a brief statement."

Zheng Jin did not doubt that he was there. After hearing this, he put away the food order and threw it to the Xu family in the backyard.

Xu has now recovered from her previous calmness. She has just returned from the former concubine. The concubine is quite polite to her, but she has not apologized for humiliating her for the third son. She just asked her to concentrate on handling the affairs of the courtyard without having to approach her for serving.

This is naturally not enough to dispel Xu's resentment. Fang Taifei's self-injury has caused her to be demoted from a classic story to a straightforward position. Moreover, it is a place like In-jiyuan who is destined to be neglected. This is probably similar to being demoted from the central government of Taiwan Province to a remote prefecture and county, with greatly reduced power and profit, which has already become a feud.

Not to mention that the three kings in distress dared to humiliate her in front of many palace servants, Xu naturally had deeper resentment in his heart. When Zheng Jin arrived, she was wiping the beloved chess tool that was beaten by King Yong again. When Zheng Jin said she wanted to warm the house, she sneered even more. A thief-rebellious door was just relying on her blood relationship, and she was actually quite romantic.

When he opened the food list and saw the delicious meals listed on it, Xu couldn't help but sneer even more. He only thought that this family was so stupid and ridiculous that he had fallen into this and was still greedy for his mouth.

She originally planned to put aside the food order, but after a little change of thought, she still called a female official and sent it to the banned Zhongshi Food Office. What happened just now made her realize that although the Yong Wang family was in danger, she was not an ordinary female official who could disobey in person at will.

There is still a long time in the future. She has plenty of opportunities to take revenge on the other party, and there is no need to rush to make things difficult for the moment. The dishes on the food list are all precious and luxurious, far from being qualified for the Yongwang family at the moment. The Sishen Office will naturally refuse, so that the family will realize their pitiful situation and there is no need for her to be a bad person in vain.

However, after the food order was delivered, more than an hour later, the food department actually delivered the meal. Most of the dishes were all in one go, and only some that took too long or had no ingredients were prepared, but they also compensated for other similar dishes.

This inevitably made Xu both startled and suspicious, thinking that the situation of King Yong and his family had a turning point?

Before she was demoted, she was just an ordinary story of the Twenty-Four Sessions. The channels of information she could access were really limited, and her underestimation for the Yong Wang family was only known in the past. The attentiveness expressed by Sishen immediately made her feel a little confused about the situation of the Yong Wang family.

With suspicion in his heart, Xu did not dare to be arrogant anymore and ordered the palace servants to send these meals to the front house, and even went there himself.

It was already dinner time, and the whole family gathered in the inner hall next to the Fang family house. Li Tong also met his younger sister Li Youniang. This seven-year-old girl was pretty and cute, but she was not in good health. The previous period of trouble also made her feel very frightened. Because her face was thin, her eyes looked big, and she was clearly black and white, but her eyes were full of cowardice. She was not as lively as a child should have, which made people feel pity.

Li Shouli is playing tricks to make her young girl happy. The previous storm affected the whole family, including this little sister. However, Li Shouli was still cheerful and ignorant, showing off his throwing skills he had developed during his imprisonment during the time he was imprisoned. He used paper to twist it into small balls and hit it wherever he pointed. It is said that even flying mosquitoes and flies will hit every shot.

Li Tong watched Li Shouli show off happily, occasionally showing off his ugly appearance, which made the hall laugh. Even Li Guangshun, who was forced to show off by him, was no longer worried and sometimes applauded. The little sister Li Youniang smiled like a flower, her face full of surprise and admiration that was commensurate with age.

It can be seen that being heartless is not useless. With a family like Li Shouli, who is naturally optimistic, driving the atmosphere, the family can still enjoy a moment of joy in this dangerous situation with uncertain future.

However, it is no exception. Li Shouli's biological mother Zhang sat on the table, looking at her own flesh and blood, with no joy on her face. She even wanted to scold her because Li Shouli deliberately made a fool of herself and made fun of her several times, but she was always blocked by Fang's eyes. But it can still be seen that Zhang was incompatible with the relaxed atmosphere in the hall.

Not long after, Xu had led the palace people to this place, and first greeted the concubine and the three kings, and then he diligently ordered the palace people to set up a meal. Fang was originally surprised by Xu's attitude change, but after seeing such a sumptuous meal, he was inevitably surprised. When Zheng Jin said that it was the custom of Li Tong preparing a food list to be a warm house. Fang's eyebrows and eyes stretched out, and looked at Li Tong's gaze more soft: "Anu is really a person who is willing to let you down..."

Li Shouli ignored the others and saw the table full of delicacies, and he had already started to eat without waiting for others to raise chopsticks. In his words, the meals were simple a few days ago and it had been a long time since he had eaten delicious meals.

Being able to express the difficulty of expressing the tone of suffering is a talent in itself. But Li Tong heard it even more and felt that the family was in a pitiful situation.
