"How do I know this? But after guessing, there are only a few forces with this courage and strength, so there is nothing to guess at all. It's not my business anyway!" Li Xiu heard Pei Ji ask him about the commander behind the assassination of Li Shimin, but he smiled and said, "He really didn't care much about this issue.

"Hehe, then you are wrong. This matter really has something to do with you!" Li Xiu never expected to mention it, but Pei Ji suddenly smiled heavyly.

"What, why is it related to me?" Li Xiu stared at Pei Ji in shock when he heard this.

"To be precise, it should be related to the princess. Let me ask you, are the prince's daughters in the princess's house?" Pei Ji did not answer Li Xiu immediately, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"It's here with us, and they are still studying with my sister during this period, but they are all women and children. Can't even the King of Qin tolerate them?" Li Xiu said angrily when he heard this. He thought that Pei Ji heard something, someone would be unfavorable to his mother and the others?

"Don't get me wrong. It's not about the King of Qin. It's the mastermind behind the assassination of the King of Qin. It's actually related to the prince." Pei Ji immediately explained, and while speaking, he looked around. After all, this matter is top secret in the Tang Dynasty. He had just heard a little news. Those who knew about this in Chang'an City may be able to count it with one hand.

"It's not uncommon for the prince's old subordinates, but it's impossible to implicate the prince's daughters, right?" Li Xiu asked again puzzled when he heard this.

"They are not the old subordinates of the prince. At most, they are allies of the prince, and they have also put a heavy bet on the prince. As a result, the prince died suddenly and they also lost all. In this regard, they are definitely one of the people who hate the King of Qin the most in the Tang Dynasty!" Pei Ji still did not say the person behind the scenes. It seemed that he wanted to test Li Xiu.

"The prince's ally? I'm afraid there are only those aristocratic families. Among these aristocratic families, the people who have placed heavy bets on the prince..." Li Xiu couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression after hearing Pei Ji's words, and at the same time whispered to himself. At the end of the conversation, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Pei Ji and said, "Is it the Zheng family of Xingyang!"

"Hehe, you guessed it right. It was Zheng. They were very lucky. As early as when His Majesty did not raise an army, Zheng married the prince. The princess was the daughter of Zheng. With this relationship, Zheng always supported the prince very much, and helped the prince win over several other aristocratic families. In order to consolidate their relationship with the prince, they even sent several Zheng girls to the prince as concubines. Among the daughters of the princes in your family, four of them were born to the Zheng girl!" Pei Ji nodded and said.

"It's true!" Li Xiu couldn't help but mutter to himself when he heard this. Thomas's blessing, he had known a little about the relationship between Li Jiancheng and the aristocratic family before, so he guessed that it was the Zheng family in Xingyang. But soon he raised his head with some confusion and said, "Pei Xiang, even if those girls were born from the Zheng family, they might not be able to affect them, right?"

"It's not about the involvement. In fact, Zheng's family played very beautifully this time. Although there were some signs that the assassination of the King of Qin was led by them, there was no substantial evidence, so the King of Qin could not do anything about them. At most, it would be a problem for them afterwards. However, the forces of the aristocratic families were mixed and they formed an alliance with each other. It was extremely difficult for the court to touch them, so the King of Qin at most suppressed the Zheng family for a while and could not hurt their muscles at all!"

When she said this, Pei Ji paused for a moment and then said, "But you and the princess should be careful. King Qi, Prince Anlu and others have left the Tang Dynasty, and only the prince's daughters are left for you. I am worried that people like Zheng may have their ideas, so you should also be careful in daily life and not let them have too much contact with outsiders!"

"I understand, thank you Pei Xiang for your reminder!" Li Xiu finally understood what Pei Ji meant at this time. I'm afraid this was the main reason why he told him about this.

"Well, I am also considered the old party of the prince, but unfortunately I am unable to protect myself now. I am very grateful to you for helping the prince save his family. These are the last things I can do for the prince!" Pei Ji couldn't help but sigh at the end of the day, and then bowed to his goodbye. Li Xiu kept sending him onto the carriage, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road before turning back.

Holding the wedding imperial edict sent by Pei Ji in his hand, Li Xiu ran to see Princess Pingyang as soon as possible, intending to tell her the good news, but when he came to Princess Pingyang's room, he was empty. After asking the maid, he found out that Princess Pingyang had gone to the garden, so Li Xiu hurried to the garden again.

As soon as he entered the garden, he heard a bright scholar coming from a distance. This made Li Xiu stunned. Then he walked over with the sound. In the corridor of the garden, Qi Niang and Gui Niang were sitting in a row. Princess Pingyang stood in front of them with books in her hand, teaching them to read word by word. Li Xiu stood there and listened to a few words but didn't know what they were reading. Anyway, it was definitely not the Analects of Confucius, and it was the only book he could recite.

Seeing Princess Pingyang and the others being memorized, Li Xiu did not rush to disturb her, but stood aside and listened quietly. The five sisters of the mother were also studying very seriously. Even the youngest Mian Niang was held by the nurse and sat there, her mouth was opened and closed, and she didn't know what she called. I guess she only felt that the sisters looked very interesting, so she followed her to learn.

After a while, Princess Pingyang finally finished teaching a passage, and then asked Qi Niang and the others to memorize it themselves. At this time, she also saw Li Xiu and walked over with a smile and said, "How is it, what's wrong with Pei Xiang coming to you?"

"What a great thing, be mentally prepared first, don't be too excited!" Li Xiu reminded excitedly at this time that Princess Pingyang is still a pregnant woman. If she is too excited, it will not be a good thing for her.

"What good thing makes you so happy?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but say a little funny when she saw Li Xiu's excited appearance. It was the first time she had seen Li Xiu so happy after knowing him for so long.

"You will know by looking at it yourself, but you must keep calm and think about the children in your mind!" Li Xiu warned again in advance, fearing that Princess Pingyang would be too happy to know about the marriage, so she took out the imperial edict after saying that.

When Princess Pingyang saw the imperial edict, she was stunned for a moment, then took the imperial edict and started to look at it. As a result, she was only halfway through her eyes, and her whole body was trembling with excitement. Finally, she suddenly threw herself into Li Xiu's arms and started to cry.

Since she fell in love with Li Xiu, she has always dreamed of becoming Li Xiu's wife. Although the two of them had worshipped before, they were not very formal after all, which was also a heart-wrenching problem in her heart. She had never been willing to live in Li Xiu's house because of this, but now she finally waited for this day. With this imperial edict, she and Li Xiu have achieved their true results. How could she not be excited?
