Hua Meng frowned, looked at Pei Xingjian's calm look and said, "But His Majesty has urged you to go back..."
"So what? His Highness's whereabouts are unknown. If I go back, how can I live up to His Highness? Besides, I can't tell whether this is His Majesty's will." Pei Xingjian had a rare moment of toughness, and the urging of three imperial edicts did not make him move. He thought about returning to Chang'an.
What's more, there will be more worries after going back, so it's better to stay here for some peace and quiet.
After the rectification of Xingyang, Zhengzhou, and Dengfeng, some officials in Luoyang already had objections to him as the minister's right servant. Such a bold and vigorous style was completely in line with His Royal Highness, and his brand was revealed in every aspect.
"Don't worry, as long as His Highness is found, you and the rest will not be guilty. What's more, His Highness will not blame you. Your Majesty and the Queen, don't you believe that something unexpected happened to His Highness? Don't you still have confidence in His Highness?" Pei Xingjian? He continued to comfort the people in the pawn shop, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When his precious daughter heard what he told her, she burst into tears and said that if His Highness did not come back, she would imitate Meng Jiangnu in the story His Highness told her and plan to cry down the Great Wall. Truncated.
"The servants and Jingzhe should not...should not leave His Highness." Cheetah and Manzhong's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. During this period, they came from Dengfeng and along Songshan Mountain, but there was no sign of His Highness at all. turn up.
"I don't blame you for this. His Highness naturally had his own plans when he asked you to do this. What's more, if you two hadn't run out, Yu Tuqi would have been bitten tightly by the pursuers. When we got the news in Luoyang, we were afraid that It will be a few days later." Pei Xingjian also sighed, His Highness was playing a little too hard this time.
Now that he has disappeared for more than a month, the people in the court are panicking. There are even rumors that some courtiers plan to meet with His Majesty and ask His Majesty to invite His Majesty to Li Pei after the wedding of King Pei. When there is still no news from Prince Li Hong, The king is the prince.
Now, although he seemed not in a hurry and seemed very calm on the surface, he was actually very anxious on the inside.
King Pei's wedding is coming soon. If he still can't find His Highness, after the wedding, the noise in the court will become louder and louder.
But fortunately, now in the entire court, like Your Majesty and the Queen, there are still a majority of people who firmly believe that His Highness the Crown Prince is in peace. It is just a few people in the court who have ulterior motives and are beguiled by others and secretly shout a few times in the corner. That’s all.
Thinking of this, even Pei Xingjian had to admire Li Hong. This time when he went south, he seemed to have expected an accident, and he had already replaced Shangshu Sheng, Zhongshu Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng with his own people.
Even Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie of the Anton Protectorate suddenly spoke out in support of His Highness the Crown Prince in Anton for some unknown reason.
The speeches of these two people not only surprised Li Zhi and Wu Mei, but also made Li Xian, who was preparing for the wedding in Prince Pei's palace, almost lose his temper in surprise.
What worries Pei Wang Li Xian even more is that Li Zhe, who has been staying at Li Hong Futu Camp for nearly a year and has promised to exercise his body and will, has always shown his interest in Yunzhong, which makes him a little worried. , Will the position of Yunzhong Protectorate that I have taken away from me be snatched away by Li Zhe
In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the setting sun lengthened the shadows of all the magnificent buildings. Under a golden shroud, the entire palace seemed peaceful and peaceful.
Li Lingyue's little face was jumping up and down with excitement, and she was led by Li Zhi to walk towards Wu Mei's palace.
"My son, Li Lingyue, has met his mother." The voice came before the person arrived, and he was exactly the model of the little Li Hong back then.
Wu Mei sighed helplessly, looked at the large and small figures at the door and shook her head. Over the past few days, His Majesty has been doting on Li Lingyue more and more, to the point of being almost lawless.
"Where did you go today? Is the court a place where you can go by yourself? It's getting more and more outrageous." Wu Mei smiled to please herself, glanced at Li Lingyue who came over with a smile, and feigned anger.
"Ah, my father, my mother has written poems again. It's so amazing, even better than the emperor's brother." Li Lingyue looked at a piece of snow-white rice paper in front of Wu Mei, with a poem neatly written on it, and immediately made a fuss. road.
Li Zhi followed Li Lingyue in with a smile and said dotingly: "If you are as talented as your mother in the future, my father will be even happier."
"Isn't that more talented and learned than the emperor's brother? Will the emperor's brother be unhappy and jealous of his sons?" Li Lingyue tilted her head and secretly praised Wu Mei.
"You have such a little mouth... why are you so good at talking? What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?" When Wu Mei heard Li Lingyue praising her, her originally sullen face could no longer be tense. Yes, he pulled Li Lingyue on his buttocks, patted her symbolically, and said with a headache.
Li Zhi shook his head silently. If he reaches the level of talent and learning of your mother, is he more talented and learned than Li Hong? With these words, I'm afraid you, Li Lingyue, are the only ones who have the nerve to please your mother so directly.
But having said that, in the past year, Li Lingyue has been referring to Li Hong directly with the word "brother of the emperor". To Li Xian and others, and even Ze Wang Li Shangjin, he will refer to him as the third emperor brother and the sixth emperor brother. Only to Li Hong, he has never When using "Five Emperor Brothers" or other terms, they are all simply "Emperor Brother".
In her eyes, and in the eyes of others, this kind of symmetry seemed to be that only Li Hong was worthy of being called her royal brother, as if she only recognized Li Hong.
"Green ants' new fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late at night, can you have a drink?" Li Zhi walked to Wu Mei, sat down on another chair, picked up the rice paper in front of Wu Mei, Looking at the poem above, he murmured: "Excellent work. Compared with the queen's poems in previous years, this poem is of a much higher level. It is concise and neat, but... does it look like it's going to snow? ?”
Wu Mei smiled and did not rush to answer Li Zhi's question. Instead, she patted Li Lingyue and said, "Li Dan wants to compete with you. Go and challenge."
"Him?" Li Lingyue turned around and asked in surprise.
Yesterday, I just copied a poem written by the emperor's brother and presented it to my father and mother for review. I won praise and victory with a huge advantage. Why did his handwriting improve again in just one day
The little eyes rolled around and looked at Li Zhi who was also looking at her, and said obediently to the two of them: "Yes, the emperor and the queen. I have resigned, and I will go to fight."
"Go." Li Zhi looked at Li Lingyue, who was as big as a brat, and said with a smile.
The little guy's brain was so good that he couldn't move his eyes in a circle, so he knew that his father and mother had important matters to discuss, and he couldn't let himself hear it, so he moved away.
Looking at Li Lingyue's leaving figure, Li Zhi said slowly: "The Queen will not have to use such excuses in the future. The little thing obviously knows that it is a lame excuse made by you."
"Then what should we do? Other excuses can't deceive her either. It's just a way to achieve the effect." Wu Mei stretched lazily, and her towering breasts were bulged even higher in her clothes. Looking at Li Zhi, he said lazily.
Li Zhi withdrew his eyes from the alluring breasts and focused on the poem again. After reading it carefully, he suddenly asked: "Is this what Li Hong did? Is there any news about him?" "
Seeing Li Zhi's excited expression and trembling hands, he smiled softly, and then said easily: "Yes, there is finally news. It has been snowing in Xingyang area for the past few days. This poem, I think it was done at that time.”
"So where are they now? When will they come back?" Li Zhi asked.
"It should be in the mountains. Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it will be difficult to get out. And... I guess Pei Xingjian and the others haven't found his exact location yet." Wu Mei thought for a moment and said.
"In the mountains, the exact location has not been found yet? What does this mean?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and asked.
"This poem is in my hands because of its contribution. Moreover, this is all my guess." Wu Mei pointed to Hai Dongqing who was being fed by the palace maid over there.
"This flat-haired beast only recognizes me now and only knows a few places such as Luoyang Palace and Chang'an Palace, but it has become good friends with the calf that Li Hong brought back from Anxi. Pei Xingjian was ordered by you When he went to Xingyang to deal with all the messy things, his daughter Pei Wanying was naturally worried about Li Hong's disappearance during this period. No, when Pei Xingjian went to Xingyang, he asked Pei Xingjian to take the wolf with him. This letter. So Xin was brought back by Hai Dongqing as a matter of course." Wu Mei sighed, looking at Li Zhi who looked anxious, and explained slowly.
"So, Pei Xingjian has found Li Hong? Then it's time to come back. It's not too far from Xingyang to Luoyang, but why haven't they come back yet?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei again and asked, But he ignored the words Wu Mei kept saying: estimate, guess, and should.
Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi's anxious look, smiled and said, "I'm not sure now whether they have reunited. I can only be sure that Li Hong is fine. Otherwise, how could Li Hong have the leisure to compose poems? Look. The artistic conception of this poem is probably very comfortable and leisurely for both Bai Chun and Bai Chun."
Li Zhi still didn't understand Wu Mei's words, so Wu Mei had to patiently explain again: "I suspect that the wolf has found Li Hong, but I'm afraid Li Hong doesn't even know where he is, so he can only I copied this poem and hoped that the wolf would be taken out to report to them. As for Hai Dongqing, I guess he took the poem before Pei Xingjian and others and sent it to me. I will send it to you as soon as possible."
After listening to Wu Mei's explanation, Li Zhi looked at Hai Dongqing who was eating raw meat, pointed and asked, "Just flew back?"
"Well, I just flew back not long ago. Please wait patiently and see if there will be a memorial from Pei Xingjian and others tomorrow morning. But you don't have to worry too much. At least it has now been proven that Li Hong is indeed safe and sound. "Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi and comforted her in a soft voice.
But he didn't know that Li Zhi now wanted to drag Li Hong to him and make a big deal.
