When Li Xiu heard Princess Pingyang suddenly asked about his future plans, he immediately opened his eyes, then turned around and grabbed her little hand and said, "Xiu Ning, I know what you are going to say, but please rest assured. After the Turks retreated, we will close the door and live our own life. When you and the Yi Niang's child are born, we will teach them to speak, walk, and read, and no longer care about the troubles in the outside world."

Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile happily when she heard Li Xiu's description of his future life, but then she thought of something and said with some concern: "But in order to let Chengdao and the others leave, didn't you agree to assist him with all your strength?"

Even today, Princess Pingyang is still unwilling to call Li Shimin her younger brother, and even her name is unwilling to mention it again. This matter may become a scar in her heart that will be repaired forever.

"Haha~, when I first went to see the King of Qin, I did say that I would assist him with all my strength, and sent Chengdao and the others to the Americas, hoping that he could let Chengdao go, but he refused at that time. Later, I used the method of killing him, only to say that I would help him fight back the Turks, but I did not mention the matter of assisting him with all my strength. So after the Turks retreated, our transaction was completed, and by then, it was estimated that Chengdao and they should go out to sea too!" Li Xiu laughed.

"Really?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help staring at Li Xiudao in surprise when she heard this.

"Of course it's true, in fact I did it on purpose!" Li Xiu said proudly. For the first time, he wanted to sell himself to Li Shimin in exchange for the lives of Li Chengdao and others, but Li Shimin refused. So when he got a little initiative, he never mentioned this again. At that time, Li Shimin was also facing pressure from the Turkic people, so he also entangled with him, which gave Li Xiu a chance to escape.

"That's great!" Princess Pingyang got Li Xiu's confirmed answer, and finally said happily. After experiencing the tragedy of brothers and sisters, she had a great resistance to the imperial power. She no longer wanted the people around her to have any relationship with the imperial power, nor did she want Li Xiu to deal with Li Shimin again. Since Li Shimin killed her brother, she no longer recognized this brother.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's happy appearance, Li Xiu also smiled a little and comforted her a few words. Speaking of which, with his lazy personality, he was unwilling to help anyone do things. Anyway, he has no worries about food and clothing now, so there is really no need to go around again. It is better to spend more time with his family.

After taking a shower, Pingyang carefully changed into clean and refreshing clothes for him, and then accompanied him to the bedroom to rest. After Li Xiu lay down, he carefully covered him with a quilt. He looked like a little wife, which also made Li Xiu even more satisfied. However, just when Prince Pingyang left, Li Xiu suddenly grabbed her hand and asked her to sit by the bed. Then he said, "Xiu Ning, when you have time in the future, I will accompany you to visit His Majesty!"

"You... do you have a way to let me go to the palace to meet my father?" Princess Pingyang asked excitedly when she heard Li Xiu's words, and tears in her eyes suddenly burst out.

Since the eldest brother Li Jiancheng had an accident, what she was most worried about was her father Li Yuan. She even had nightmares of her father being killed by Li Shimin countless times. Moreover, the eldest brother died, and the saddest thing was probably her father. So Princess Pingyang always wanted to visit him, but now Li Yuan is imprisoned in the palace. Without Li Shimin's consent, no one could see him.

"There is no way, but when the King of Qin comes back, I am sure to convince him to agree to the princess to enter the palace!" Li Xiu said again. Now Princess Pingyang hates Li Shimin very much and is even a little paranoid. But in fact, Li Shimin does not want to have a quarrel with her only compatriot sister, so it is not difficult to convince Li Shimin.

"I don't want to see him again!" Princess Pingyang said with a stern face when she heard this. She thought Li Xiu wanted her to see Li Shimin in person.

"Don't worry, you don't have to see him. I will come forward at that time. Then you enter the palace in a carriage and you will never see the King of Qin!" Li Xiu explained again. Although he felt that Li Shimin was a little cruel and ruthless about the killing of Li Jiancheng, he was understandable. First, he had known the original history for a long time, and second, he had long understood the cruelty of the imperial power struggle.

"Well, then, you can rest quickly, let's talk about this later!" Princess Pingyang nodded obediently when she heard this, tucked him in the quilt again, and then left the bedroom. Li Xiu was really sleepy at this time, and after a while, she fell asleep.

This is the first time Li Xiu has slept so sweetly since the Xuanwu Gate Incident. When he woke up again, he found that it was already sunny outside the window, and it seemed that it was almost noon. It was only afternoon when he slept yesterday, and it seemed that he had been sleeping for nearly ten hours.

Li Xiu sat up from the bed. At this moment, the door opened. Yue Chan came in with her clothes in her arms. Seeing that Li Xiu had woken up, she immediately smiled and said, "Master, you are finally awake. Hurry up and wash and change into your clothes. You are about to have lunch!"

"This sleep is so comfortable. What are the princess and the princess doing?" Li Xiu stretched his waist at this time. He felt more energetic now, but the bones all over his body were still a little sore, and he probably had to recuperate for a few more days.

"The princess and her wife are teaching Qi Niang and the others to learn embroidery. In addition, she heard that Ma Ye sent someone to come again. The princess looked very happy when she met the other party. It seemed good news." Yue Chan walked forward with a smile and helped Li Xiu put on her clothes.

"Calculate the time, Uncle Ma and his team should have arrived in Dengzhou. After receiving the sea boat there, they can go out to sea. As long as they leave the Tang Dynasty, Chengdao and others will be completely safe." Li Xiu couldn't help but talk to himself when he heard the news about Ma. He said that he also thanked the Turks for holding Li Shimin's hands and feet. If it weren't for them, Li Chengdao and others would not have left safely.

After washing up, Li Xiu walked out of the room and looked at the lazy sun above his head. He couldn't help but stretched. Now the weather has become much warmer and the Lantern Festival has passed. Unfortunately, due to the Xuanwu Gate Incident and the sudden attack of Turks, the martial law was strictly imposed on Chang'an City, so the Lantern Festival was cancelled. Li Xiu did not feel the atmosphere of the New Year at all, which is really a pity.
