After Li Chaoge came out of the princess mansion, he went straight to the Honghui Palace. Fortunately, Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion was close to the imperial palace, and it was not too late when Li Chaoge arrived.
The dog leg fell on the ground and kept calling, and no one around him dared to come forward to help him. Wu Yuanqing was flustered by that kick. He felt that what Li Chaoge said just now meant something, and felt that she was just scolding. But in any case, beating a dog depends on the master? Man, Li Chaoge's behavior is really embarrassing to him.
Wu Yuanqing held back and scolded: "Sheng Yuan, are you going to fight against me?"
"Against you?" Li Chaoge seemed to have heard a "huge joke", she patted her sleeves in disgust, and said lightly, "You are not worthy. This is my business, I come here, it's only natural. "
That feeling came again, she seemed to have something to say, and it seemed that Wu Yuanqing was thinking too much. Wu Yuanqing hesitated for a while, and said forcefully: "I followed my aunt's orders to search the Crown Prince's palace. Sheng Yuan, do you even dare to disobey my aunt's order?"
At this time, Gu Mingke came over from the back and said lightly: "Wei Wang, earlier you said that members of the Gao family confessed and saw Chongming Bird in the Crown Prince's Palace. First of all, the case of Changsun Yu has not been investigated, so you directly Arresting the Gao family in the name of treason is a crime of fraud. All fraudsters who are sent by officials and officials to arrest people have flown two thousand miles; secondly, you said that the Gao family admitted to seeing Chongming Bird in the Crown Prince's Palace?, Since the Chongming bird was lost, members of the Gao clan have not entered the palace. How did they see the Chongming bird being hidden by the crown prince? The evidence is not romantic, and the crime is inconsistent. They all sit with the offenders. The king of Wei committed the two crimes together, and he will be punished severely, or may be hanged."
Wu Yuanqing was stunned by Gu Mingke's big rules. Although he didn't know what Gu Mingke was talking about, he at least understood the word "twist" at the end. Wu Yuanqing is used to being lawless, extorting confessions, perjury, and slandering. He never thought of doing these? It is against the law. Those cold accusations fell on Wu Yuanqing's head, causing his limbs to become cold and his mind to go blank.
Li Chaoge looked at his appearance and thought to himself what a waste. Naturally, Li Huai, who is now slumped on the ground, hugging Liu Shi and crying bitterly, is also a waste.
Seeing that Wu Yuanqing was frightened by Gu Mingke, Lai Junchen stood up and said, "Princess Sheng Yuan? Gu Shaoqing, we have obeyed the orders of the Holy Master and came to thoroughly investigate the Crown Prince's Palace. The Crown Prince has privately kept the Chongming Bird, and there are all witnesses and material evidence." , Princess Sheng Yuan? By stopping here, is it to disobey the sacred order?"
In his previous life, Li Chaoge thought that Junchen was not pleasing to his eyes, but when he saw him in this life, the more he looked at him, the more he wanted to beat him up. Gu Mingke seemed to sense Li Chaoge's thoughts, and pressed Li Chaoge's wrist calmly. Li Chaoge managed to calm down, she snorted disdainfully, and said: "I am in charge of the Chongming Bird. I know its tracks best, but how did it get you? Tell me what? It seems that Gu Shaoqing said those words just now? You didn't listen Understood, your so-called witness testimony was perjured, and the testimony is invalid. As for the physical evidence... "
Li Chaoge saw the feather in the dog's hand, and said lightly, "The goose feather dyed with red ink dares to show it to me. After the Chongming bird disappeared, all the evidence was archived by the demon town hall. Now there are Chongming bird feathers that have fallen off in the demon town, you guys? Dare to compare them with me?"
Li Chaoge's eyes were as bright as torches, Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen avoided looking at Li Chaoge, not daring to look at Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge snorted sarcastically, seeing them? Still standing here, couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Aren't you leaving?"
"Be more elegant." Gu Mingke said softly, "So many people are watching, the influence is not good."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen, and asked, "You guys? Do you have any doubts?"
They made such a big fuss that the Queen was alarmed. The queen sent someone over, and several young and beautiful female officials stood at the gate of the Honghui Hall, Shi Ran? Saluted: "Princess Sheng Yuan? Gu Shaoqing, Princess Guangning? King Wei, Your Majesty welcomes you."
Wu Yuanqing snorted forcefully, lifted his robe and was about to complain to the queen. Li Chaoge's voice sounded unhurriedly: "Wait."
Wu Yuanqing paused, couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head: "What else do you want to do?"
"Since King Wei suspects the Crown Prince, let's make a decision today and search the Honghui Palace. I also want to know where Chongming Bird is hiding."
Li Huai and Liu shrank to one side, and they were quite shocked when they heard this: "Sheng Yuan..."
Li Chaoge ignored it. Everyone in the yard looked directly at the female officials, and said, "The female officials are all celebrities around the queen. It is the most fair. Please stay here today to be a witness. Search Honghui Hall with me. See if there is anything in the Crown Prince's Palace that shouldn't be there."
The ladies? They looked at each other, unable to make a decision. The leading female official stepped forward and saluted Li Chaoge: "Princess Sheng Yuan? Forgive me, the empress is waiting in the Xuanzheng Hall. I dare not delay..."
"If the lady officer can't pay attention, just go back and report to the queen." Li Chaoge stopped the lady officer's words and said, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Anyway, everything is poured out, so I just search it thoroughly today."
The lady officer refused to no avail, and did not dare to disrespect Li Chaoge, so she could only send one person back to ask the queen for instructions. After a while, the female officer brought the imperial father-in-law over. When Eunuch Yu saw Li Chaoge, he smiled and saluted, and asked, "His Royal Highness Sheng Yuan, the curfew is already over, why are you still in the palace?"
Li Chaoge glanced at Wu Yuanqing coldly, and said: "Wei Wang is in a good mood today, and I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman. Father-in-law, can we start?"
Eunuch Yu flicked his whisk lightly, and said: "Please, Your Highness."
Li Chaoge took the empress's attendants to rummage in Li Huai's palace, while Li Huai, Liu Shi, Li Changle and others were left outside the palace, waiting anxiously. Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen also wanted to come in, but they were stabbed by Li Chaoge, and they went out in disgrace.
The father-in-law watched this scene with a smile, and said, "Princess Sheng Yuan? She has a really fierce temper, but fortunately the son-in-law is gentle and patient. The two complement each other so well, it really is a heaven-sent match."
Gu Mingke was evaluated as gentle and patient. He had nothing to say, but smiled and said: "I dare not be. She is quick-tempered, but loyal and righteous, and never flatters. My father-in-law should also know this?"
Eunuch Yu smiled and stopped talking
Li Chaoge dug out the bottom of Li Huai's pressure box. Li Huai was imprisoned suddenly. There were no letters in the palace. Naturally, there was no evidence of collaborating with the enemy. Even in the scrolls that Li Huai read during this time, there were no words of resentment or resentment towards the queen. All in all, it is a very qualified soft egg.
Li Chaoge intends to magnify today's matter. Since the empress is suspicious of Li Huai, then he should see it once and understand, so as not to leave pus and stink in his heart. Li Chaoge didn't want Li Huai to be on the throne, but that didn't mean he could let the Wu Yuanqing brothers kill Li Huai.
The royal father-in-law had nothing to say. After the investigation, they walked out of the palace. The people waiting outside suddenly cheered up, Li Huai asked nervously, "Have you finished the investigation?"
Wu Yuanqing also stared at Li Chaoge closely: "Cousin Sheng Yuan, have you found the letter?"
Wu Yuanqing secretly reminded Li Chaoge to admit it, but unfortunately Li Chaoge ignored him at all. Li Chaoge said: "The father-in-law and the female official have seen what's going on inside. Let's wait until the queen is in front of the specific matter."
Li Chaoge couldn't ask, and everyone didn't know? Fortunately or disappointed. The female officer held a lantern and directed Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke to walk towards the Xuanzheng Hall. After the people in front left, Li Changle looked at Li Huai, said "Take care" in a low voice, and quickly followed.
Wu Yuanqing went first? When he entered the Xuanzheng Palace, he immediately complained when he saw the Queen: "Auntie, I followed your order to inspect the Crown Prince's palace, but Sheng Yuan seemed to be quite critical."
Li Chaoge then entered the palace and felt ridiculous when he heard Wu Yuanqing's words. Only mentioning Li Chaoge but not Li Changle, everyone knows what the Wu family thinks. Li Chaoge chuckled, and said leisurely: "The king of Wei is so forgetful. It is clear that you have exceeded your authority. Not to mention smashing and destroying the Honghui Palace, you also indulged your subordinates to disrespect the crown prince and concubine. No matter what, that is the crown prince and concubine. , If you do this, won’t you provoke the relationship between the empress and the crown prince, and make people in the world misunderstand? Empress?”
Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen were able to walk in front of Li Huai tonight, it must be the Queen's approval. But when the queen agreed, she might not have thought that they would humiliate Li Huai like this. However, everything has already happened, and the queen can't slap herself in the face, so she follows Li Chaoge's steps and pushes all this on Wu Yuanqing: "I trust you too much? How dare you let go? Lawless. King Wei, go back!" Facing the wall and thinking about it, don’t come out and cause trouble before you understand it.”
Wu Yuanqing was astonished when he heard that his aunt actually punished him with grounding? He was clearly helping his aunt, how could his aunt blame him instead
Li Chaoge stood aside, a hint of sarcasm flashed quickly in his eyes. Wu Yuanqing was dissatisfied, and wanted to say more, but was glanced lightly by the empress: "Okay, there is so much trouble tonight, don't you think it's not enough for people to laugh at? It's getting late, let's all go out."
The queen spoke? Wu Yuanqing didn't dare to babble any more. Everyone went out one after another? Li Chaoge just turned around when the Queen stopped him: "Chaoge, you stay."
Li Chaoge stopped walking. Wu Yuanqing and Li Changle in front immediately turned their heads and stared at Li Chaoge inexplicably. Gu Mingke stood beside Li Chaoge. Hearing this, he rolled up his long sleeves and said softly, "I'll wait for you outside."
Gu Mingke went out first, and the rest had to leave if they were unwilling? After everyone left?, the empress looked calmly at Li Chaoge: "Chaoge."
Li Chaoge saluted: "My son is here."
Li Chaoge originally thought that the empress would beat her, but the empress just asked indifferently: "Have you found the Chongming bird?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Li Chaoge's head hurt. She thought about it and said, "Not yet. My son is trying his best to find it."
After searching for so long, even an earthworm should be dug out, but Chongming Bird has no clue. To be honest, Li Chaoge actually suspected that the so-called Chongming bird was a chicken whose feathers were dyed with colors, and then the color faded away. Wu Yuanqing secretly disposed of that chicken.
Li Chaoge had no doubts, but could not find any evidence. The empress looked pale, and said: "I haven't found it after searching the palace for so long, will it? No? It's not in the palace at all?"
Li Chaoge didn't express his opinion, but asked calmly: "My son is ignorant and doesn't understand what the Holy One wants."
"The Chongming bird is a bird after all, maybe it will? Fly outside the palace wall. I let you look at the foreign minister's mansion during this time, did you gain anything?"
Li Chaoge thought to himself? Sure enough? It is true that the empress cared about Chongming Bird and asked her about the surveillance results. Patrolling and arresting is a double-edged sword. Li Chaoge doesn't spend so much time eavesdropping on other people's conversations. Secondly, he really hates this kind of behavior.
Li Chaoge said: "Many people in the eastern capital believe in Buddhism. There is a Buddha town house, and it is difficult for ordinary ghosts to deceive the inner room. I have not found enough ghosts for the time being, and I am still planning."
Li Chaoge has been "planning" since receiving this task. The queen didn't pursue what she said? How much is it? True or false, and said: "You are a smart child, and you know it in your own mind. It's getting late, you and your son-in-law go back."
Li Chaoge bowed to the queen, and there was nothing wrong with it on his face: "I obey."
After Li Chaoge went out, when he looked up, he saw Gu Mingke standing under the steps waiting for her. As soon as Li Chaoge stepped on the steps, Gu Mingke turned his head precisely
He stood in the night, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, like a fairy under the moon, pure and unparalleled. His eyes were calm and inclusive, as if whenever Li Chaoge came out, he was always here.
Gu Mingke didn't ask what she said to the queen, but just said: "Let's go."
Li Chaoge nodded, walked quickly to his side, and the two walked outside the palace together. There seemed to be a shadow flashing around the corner. Li Chaoge didn't bother to pay attention to it. He Youyou said, "What a bunch of trash."
Gu Mingke seriously reminded: "People haven't gone far, please keep your voice down."
Li Chaoge didn't want to talk about these idiots, so he said instead: "I forgot to tell you earlier, you don't need to wait for me, just go back by yourself."
"Going together is inevitable? Returning together." Gu Mingke glanced at her lightly, "You don't treat me as your own at all."
This is really unreasonable, Li Chaoge immediately retorted: "I am obviously out of kindness, I am afraid that you will get impatient if you wait too long. I heard that when you were in Dali Temple, you hated other people's time wasting the most." Gu Mingke Feeling a little helpless, this is not Dali Temple, and she is not someone else. But these words? Talking to Li Chaoge is no different from playing the piano to a cow. Gu Mingke gave up and changed his way of saying: "Don't forget, you and I are husband and wife now. The outside world is watching. If we separate, we will act separately. Will? Guess us? Disagreement. So troublesome."
Li Chaoge thought about it, and nodded seriously: "You're right. From now on, whenever the two of us are present, it's best to act together."
Gu Mingke complied as he wished. The two of them led back their horses from the palace gate guards, and broke through the curfew by familiar ways. Gu Mingke walked in the moonlight, walking on the deserted street, and looked back at her: "Today, why did you help Li Huai?"
"Who helped him?" Li Chaoge snorted disdainfully, and after a while, said inaudibly, "I'm just telling the truth."
Gu Mingke looked at her quietly, the moonlight shone on her, so clear that it seemed as if you could touch her to the bottom. Just like her herself, she is not stained with common dust, and she lives brightly and freely.
Li Chaoge's brows moved slightly, and he glanced sideways at him: "What do you see me doing?"
"It's nothing." Gu Mingke withdrew his gaze, and he looked forward vaguely. His voice was as soft as a puff of smoke, "When I was young, I really wanted to be someone like you."
Li Chaoge frowned, when he was a child? What a strange description. Li Chaoge said slowly: "This is the first time I've heard a man praise a woman like this. Let's just think it's a compliment. Then? Come on, have you realized it?"
Gu Mingke looked at the moonlight in front of him and said nothing. Did he achieve it? Probably not.
Li Chaoge realized that she had said a word? Unexpectedly? She was a little embarrassed to ask Gu Mingke to be silent, she approached quietly, and asked, "What's wrong? Did I mention your sadness?"
Just as Gu Mingke was about to say something, there was a loud shout ahead, and then several lanterns illuminated them: "Who broke the curfew?"
Li Chaoge's brows twitched patiently, this group of trash who have done more than fail. Zhi Jinwu gradually approached, and the lights gradually shrouded Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke. Li Chaoge looked at them indifferently, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you think?"
"His Royal Highness Sheng Yuan." Zhi Jinwu hurriedly got off his horse and saluted, bit his head and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty was impolite, don't you know? Your Highness is taking a walk here, please Your Highness and the son-in-law forgive me."
Li Chaoge knew what their responsibilities were, and didn't want to say much, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's continue patrolling the streets. There are a lot of nightclubs lately, you guys? Be careful."
Zhi Jinwu should be, clasping his fists and retreating. They turned quickly to another street and watched Princess Sheng Yuan and Concubine Gu riding horses slowly towards the Princess' mansion.
The subordinate quietly asked: "Princess? What are you doing with the son-in-law?"
"I don't know?" The team leader glared at his subordinates and reprimanded him, "Don't look at it, it's nothing to do with you when a couple is in love. Hurry up and go patrolling."
Gao Zihan was left alone in Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion, thinking wildly all night, almost scared himself to death. When it was completely dark, there was finally a noise outside. Gao Zihan let out a long sigh of relief, and hurried out to meet him: "Sheng Yuan, Gu Shaoqing, what happened in the palace?"
"It's okay." Li Chaoge said, "My uncle and others will be able to go home almost tomorrow. It's too late today, isn't it convenient? I'll take you back. I'll send someone to take you back to Yao Mansion tomorrow morning."
Gao Zihan put his heart back in his stomach, why did he care about where to live? The most indispensable thing in the Gaomen compound is the guest room. Li Chaoge asked the maid to tidy up a room for Gao Zihan and send Gao Zihan to rest.
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Gao Zihan's father and uncle came back. The Gao family hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Gradually, they talked about other things: "I heard that the king of Wei attacked the crown prince last night. Thanks to Princess Sheng Yuan, she went to speak justice in front of the queen. The crown prince escaped. , luckily there was no danger."
"That's right. The relationship between the Crown Prince and Princess Sheng Yuan has not been very good because of filial piety to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince usually loves Princess Guangning the most? I never thought that it would be Princess Sheng Yuan who spoke for the Crown Prince in the end. "
·
Wu Yuanqing was reprimanded by the empress indifferently, and he was confined at home and grounded. He had a gloomy face all day long, and the rest of the Wu family didn't dare to get close to him when they saw him.
In the afternoon, Wu Mengshi waited for Wu Yuanqing to have dinner, but the maid reported that King Wei was in a bad mood and there was no need to wait for him.
Wu Mengshi sighed: "This? Child, it's fine for him to lose his temper, how can he be against himself? And? If you don't come out to eat, what can you do if you are starving yourself?"
Seeing this, Wu Yuanxiao's wife, Mrs. Xu, cautiously said: "Mother-in-law, perhaps the kitchen food is not well prepared, and Wei Wang is not in the mood to eat. I will ask the kitchen to redo it and send it to Wei Wang."
Mrs. Wu Meng responded, and Mrs. Xu hurried down to prepare meals. When it was ready, Mrs. Wu Meng personally took the lunch box and went to the yard to visit her second son.
Wu Yuanqing was venting his anger in the courtyard, but he didn't expect his mother and sister-in-law to come over. He sat down angrily, and asked, "Why are A Niang and Sister-in-law here?"
Wu Mengshi ignored it? The servant kneeling on the ground asked the maid to quickly put the food on the table, and said to Wu Yuanqing with a smile: "My son, if you don't eat, you will be starving. My mother has specially prepared meals for you. It's all what you like to eat, so hurry up and taste it."
Wu Yuanqing looked at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him, and sighed: "I was so angry. I did so much for my aunt, but my aunt sent me off after Li Chaoge said something. It's not easy for my aunt to be the emperor. Hello Wu family, but Li Chaoge turned his elbow outward."
"Her surname is Li after all." Wu Mengshi personally served Wu Yuan Qingsheng soup and said, "Even if she kisses us again, there will always be a layer of separation between us. It's no better than a brother and sister. Besides, she only came back four years ago. We were not close when we were young, and we were not close when we grew up, and the friendship with our family was even weaker."
When Wu Yuanqing remembered what happened that day, he became angry: "It's only one step away, alas, I'm so angry."
Wu Mengshi was also very disappointed. Their family gave high hopes, but at the last moment, they were disturbed by Li Chaoge. Missed this opportunity? The next time I pull Li Huai off the horse, I don’t know? When will I have to wait.
But who made the queen listen to Li Chaoge more? The samurai family was unhappy and helpless. Wu Mengshi thought for a while, and said with determination: "It seems that we can't wait any longer. Li Chaoge is the queen's own daughter, and it's inevitable that the queen is partial to her. We can only find someone who is closer to Li Chaoge. We can't win over her." Li Chaoge, then? Let's win over Li Changle."
"Guangning?" Wu Yuanqing frowned, "That night, Guangning also ran into the Honghui Hall, screaming and making noise, very noisy. She has been close to Li Huai since she was a child, will she be willing to face us?"
"You silly child." Wu Meng said pointedly, "Brothers and sisters can't compare to husband and wife. If you marry her, she will naturally fall for you."
Mother-in-law and uncle talking? Xu just stood aside and listened. When she heard that Wu Mengshi intended to marry Li Changle, she opened her eyes in surprise.
Li Changle used to come to the Wu family often, and Mrs. Xu is quite familiar with Li Changle. Thinking of that innocent little girl, Mrs. Xu felt a pity in her heart. So the favored little princess? Now, she is going to be reduced to a tool of the samurai family.
Wu Yuanqing knew about it a long time ago. Marrying Li Changle would do no harm to the Wu family. However, Wu Yuanqing frowned and asked, "Auntie? Do you agree?"
Wu Mengshi flicked his sleeves, his eyes were full of certainty: "The empress is not close to my elder sister-in-law, but she will never? Don't care about her mother. Let's go to Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang will talk ?, the queen always listens."
Mrs. Yang is old, and her health has gotten worse and worse since the spring of this year. Up to now, she can only lie on the bed, awake only a few times a day.
The queen was very worried about her mother's illness. There were rumors outside the palace that Mrs. Yang was seriously ill. The queen went to the Wu family to visit her mother in person. After returning to the palace?, the queen has been silent.
Seeing this, the female official asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you still worried about Mrs. Rong Guo's condition?"
The queen shook her head? She didn't say yes or no. She thought about it quietly for a while, and said, "Go and call Guangning over."
