If you don't try, don't try, what are you doing with that strange look...
When I was a child, I often left tooth marks on my wrists, and then used a ballpoint pen to draw on the hands, pretending to be like a watch-biting myself, it is no longer normal.
Ignoring the second lady, when he walked back to the room, he saw Xiaozhu and Xiaocui playing in the yard, Li Yi stopped, thought for a while, waved to her, and said, "Xiaozhu, come here, I'm asking you something..."
A government office somewhere in Kyoto.
Several officials in charge of the "Holy Church" case gathered together and looked at a portrait spread on the table, frowning.
Li Xuan walked in from the outside, glanced at everyone, and asked: "What did you see, you are talking about it!"
This case has been dragging on for a long time, which consumed his little patience. He is still waiting for the case to end, and went to discuss a scientific issue with Shen Shu. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since he saw that guy Shen Shu .
Dali Siqing said helplessly: "Your Highness, regardless of the authenticity of this portrait, it is difficult for us to find the 'Empress of Heaven' with this portrait alone. The streets and alleys of Kyoto have been plastered all over , so far nothing has been found..."
On the other hand, Liu Dayou, the capital commander, looked pensive. He always felt that the "Empress of Heaven" in this portrait seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it...
Annoyed, he picked up the previous dossier and started to read it again.
"Okay, hurry up..." Li Xuan waved his hands, and when he was about to go out, he glanced at the portrait on the table and stopped in his tracks.
He walked over again, staring at the portrait on the table in a daze.
Liu Dayou put down the files of the two cases in his hand, as if realizing something, he walked over quickly and looked at the portrait on the table.
The next moment, Li Xuan put away the portrait directly.
"Your Highness, you..." All the officials looked puzzled.
"I'll take this portrait back and study it carefully, you guys... go away." He waved his hand, picked up the portrait, and left.
All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay. There was only one original painting of "The Queen of Heaven", and they couldn't find anyone based on the original painting, let alone the imitation of the painting by the painters. What exactly does His Royal Highness want to do...
Liu Dayou walked out in a daze, thinking about something, something he just figured out.
It turned out that Li Jianren's death was not unrelated to the case of the burning of Prince Xin's Mansion.
Li Jianren wanted to be unfavorable to Miss Ruoqing, so the people of the holy religion simply let him go to hell first.
King Xin burned Miss Ruoqing's residence, so his Palace of King Xin was also burned down under the revenge of the holy man.
These two seemingly unrelated cases are closely linked because of one person.
However, Miss Ruoqing is the Empress of Heaven—how is this possible
…
Li Yi took a sip of his wine, and decided to promote Xiaozhu to be his royal wine warmer in the future. The grapes she warmed tasted different from others.
Li Xuan, who was somewhat absent-minded, walked in from the outside at this time.
Li Yi poured him a glass of wine and said, "What's the matter, isn't Mingzhu dealing with the affairs of the court? Why do you look so sad again?"
After Li Xuan sat down, he sighed and handed him the painting in his hand.
Li Yi opened the scroll, stood up suddenly, glared at him, and said loudly: "Say, why is Ruoqing's portrait in your place? You already have Shizi Concubine and Shen Shu. Do you have any plans for her? Is it still human!"
The painting skills of this portrait are not very high, ordinary people may not recognize it, but he and Ruoqing have been together for so long, how could he not recognize it
"Shen Shu?" Li Xuan was startled.
"It's not important." Li Yi waved his hand, "Why do you have Ruoqing's portrait?"
Li Xuan shook his head, looked at him, and said, "This is the painting of the Holy Cult's 'Empress of Heaven'."
Li Yi looked at the scroll again, and asked, "Did you take it wrong? There are still people who look so similar in this world?"
At this time, Lao Fang hurried in from the outside and said in a panic, "Master, it's too bad, Miss Ruoqing is gone!"
Li Yi was startled, although Ruoqing didn't tell him her plan, but he didn't have to worry about Ruoqing leaving, he pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on?"
"The people who were protecting Miss Ruoqing were all knocked out, and when they woke up, Miss Ruoqing disappeared." Lao Fang said anxiously, "Young master, don't worry, I've sent people everywhere Go find it!"
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it's not good!" Xiaozhu ran over from Ruoqing's room in a panic, handed a letter to Li Yi, wiped away her tears, and said with a crying tone in her voice, "Miss, miss, she gone!"
Li Yi opened the letter, and in the letter she explained in detail how she became the Empress of Heaven. Although all of this was not her intention, the best way is for her to leave here in order not to implicate him and the Li family...
Li Yi put down the letter and sat down slowly.
After Li Xuan poked his head to look, his complexion suddenly changed, he shook his head and said, "I, I don't know, if I knew earlier, I wouldn't let them investigate..."
Xiaozhu hugged Li Yi's arm, with a crying voice in her voice, and said, "Mr. Li, what should I do, what should I do now..."
A servant of the Li family came over and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, there is an adult from the Ministry of Punishment visiting..."
Li Yi waved his hand, "Let him in."
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, I have seen Lord Li." An official from the Ministry of Punishment came in and first bowed respectfully.
Li Xuan was upset, glanced at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The official looked up and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, our people have just found out the identity of the woman on the portrait, but that 'Empress of Heaven' seems to be the same as Li Xianhou..."
"What does it seem like!" Li Xuan said coldly with a sullen face, "What do you people in the Ministry of Punishment do? investigation!"
The official of the Ministry of Punishment was scolded by His Royal Highness as a headache, so he had no choice but to nod submissively, and retreated helplessly.
Li Xuan looked at Li Yi, and said with some concern: "Don't worry, I will order someone to find Miss Ruoqing..."
Li Yi waved his hand, "No need, no matter what, she is also the queen of the Holy Cult..."
"No, no, no..." Li Xuan shook his head again and again, "Didn't you say last time that the Heavenly Empress of the Holy Cult is that Taoist girl? How could there be two Heavenly Empresses? The matter of Miss Ruoqing was a misunderstanding. This is the decree that the Taoist nun is wanted by Panorama Kingdom!"
Li Yi shook his head and didn't speak again.
Li Xuan said solemnly: "I'll go back and make an order!"
When he walked out of Li's mansion, Li Xuan was still preoccupied.
At this time, the holy religion was no longer what he worried about.
If Miss Ruoqing left, with Li Yi's temperament, she definitely wouldn't just let it go. If he also left, this capital would be meaningless...
In the yard, Lao Fang looked at Li Yi who was calmly drinking the grape wine in surprise, and asked, "My lord, are you not surprised that Miss Ruoqing is the queen of the Holy Cult?"
Not to mention the fact that Miss Ruoqing suddenly became the Empress of Heaven, she just disappeared like this, my son's behavior, it shouldn't be like this!
"What's wrong with Ruoqing being the Queen of Heaven?" Li Yi looked at him and said, "I'm still the Azure Dragon Envoy of the Holy Cult, have I ever shown it off?"
…
The Shengjiao incident that has been raging in the past few days has not subsided, and it has caused another wave in Kyoto.
The thing is like this, King Xin, who had already left the capital, encountered a group of thugs unexpectedly on his way to the fief. Not only was the entire group looted, even His Highness King Xin was severely beaten by them.
So, His Royal Highness King Xin who had just left the capital was carried back again.
It has been proved that the group of thugs are believers of that holy religion.
Although His Royal Highness Xinwang caused a disaster for no reason, those people left the capital at any rate, and while the thugs were strictly ordered to be tracked down, the powerful officials in the capital were finally relieved.
Finally gone...
As for the Heavenly Empress of the Holy Cult, whether it is the wanted Taoist nun or someone else, and whether it has anything to do with Li Xianhou, the court has not made a conclusion, and they can't tell the truth from the fake, but His Royal Highness and the princess both Don't care, they can't say anything more.
As long as you don't be threatened by those people in the future.
Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other yamen have found some things, but the girl disappeared from the capital, they can't confirm that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to close the case, and even ordered them to die. This is also a good thing for them. Take ten thousand steps back Said, who dares to go to Li County Hou's house to investigate the case
…
Lee Mansion.
Zui Mo looked at Li Yi, and asked with burning eyes, "Where did Sister Ruoqing go?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I really don't know. A few days ago, her portrait was plastered all over the capital, and she must not appear now..."
"You must know something." Zui Mo shook his head with disbelief on his face, and said, "If elder sister Ruoqing really disappeared, you would go crazy, why would you want to drink grape wine here?"
"Look into my sincere eyes." Li Yi held her face and looked at her, and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't know where she is."
Zui Mo opened his hand, but his heart was not so nervous. Although he was still very curious about why Sister Ruoqing became the Empress Dowager, what was more important was that she was safe and sound.
Because if something happened to her, someone would be much more anxious than her.
Li Yi saw Uncle Li passing by in a hurry, and asked, "Uncle Li, what are you doing?"
Steward Li came back again, stood at the door, and said, "Didn't my aunt say last time that the family is short of staff, and I need to pick a few more maids. Miss Ruoqing picked a few from the Goulan. Now that everyone is here, I'll go and have a look." …”
