May you live in peace

In the next few days, Yin Xi lived a two-point and one-line life. During the day from the opening of the dynasty to the end of the dynasty, he was discussing with the ministers about dealing with the riots in the north, and he returned to the mansion in the middle of the night.Gao Shan obviously felt that Yin Xi was becoming more and more dependent on him now, and he had to sleep in his arms at night to sleep peacefully.She knew that she was under a lot of pressure, and Pan Chan's obstruction cut off the communication between the capital and many places. Even if Yin Xi knew that he did it, she was helpless.Sometimes, she wants to tell Yin Xi that reconciling with herself and ordering her to be arrested is the best way to get rid of the shackles she has brought to her, but whenever she wants to say it, Yin Xi always kisses her. Block back.After going back and forth, she also knew Yin Xi's wrongness and anxiety.

Gao Shan would ask her what's wrong, but Yin Xi shook her head and said she was fine.Seeing the movements of the people around her pursing their lips, knowing that Gao Shan felt guilty that she couldn't help him, and even felt a little lost, Yin Xi would hug her tightly and tell her that she was really fine.Takasugi sighed indulgently through his nose, then hugged her back.

In fact, Yin Xi is really fine, she just felt a little flustered and uneasy suddenly, she always felt that the calmness in the capital these few days was too much, like the calm before the storm, which foretells that something big will happen.

She wasn't worried about her own safety, since she entered the city, she had prepared for the worst.Therefore, in the past few days, she set up an eyeliner to monitor Yin Pan's every move, but he didn't even take any action. She didn't think of assassination, plotting private parties, secretly dispatching military guards, etc. He was like It was as if he suddenly became honest, and he really stayed in his own house.This also made Yin Xi worry, if the target is herself, then it will be easy, but if it is someone else, then she will have to guard against it.

At the beginning of June, it was the rainy season, and it was rainy in the south, and the capital city seemed to be affected a little bit. The rainy sky seemed a bit gloomy.

The front hall seemed to be affected by the rainy season, and the entire imperial court was in an extremely secretive environment.It was rare for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to maintain the same kind of silence during the special few days, just looking at the soldier kneeling in front of him rushing back from the north, and the gloomy face that the eldest princess had never had.

"I'll ask again, are you lying or not!" It wasn't a question, but an affirmative tone, with an air of coercion, looking at the kneeling Captain Bingzhou covered in blood.

There was a sound of 'bang' and the sound of clapping the armrests, which made all the ministers below tremble. Seeing that the eldest princess clapped so hard, she knew that she must be angry.

"No, I dare not, I don't dare, what the humble official said is the truth, the eldest son-in-law colluded with the northern tribes, and led the army to capture the three cities of Bingzhou."

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say, they did not expect that the eldest son-in-law would assassinate His Majesty after being missing for so long, since he wanted to rebel.

"If the son-in-law rebelled, why did you come to report it after you captured the three cities?" Li Zhi asked.

"The humble officer led the general's orders to Beijing to report more than ten days ago. At that time, he had discovered that there were people from Hao Guo mixed in the northern countries. At that time, he didn't know who they were, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. A few days ago, the northern countries launched another fierce attack and broke us. Yanmen Pass captured the three cities of Dingxiang, and the general also died in this battle."

Hearing that General Zhengbei University had died, Yin Xi's eyes shrank, and the ministers were also startled. They all looked at the Bingzhou Colonel, speechless.

"And why do you say it was instigated by the eldest son-in-law?"

When the captain saw someone asking him, he took a deep look at Yin Xi first, and then replied in a mournful tone.

"I have never seen the big son-in-law. When the city was broken that day, I saw the leading general wearing a black armor and wearing a mask. He spoke the Central Plains dialect, and the general Hu Hao beside him called him Hao Guo's son-in-law. The general killed After the death of the general, the humble officials fought hard and then retreated. Although the humble officials did not see his face, they took something from the general."

The school lieutenant took out a jade token from his bosom, it was plain and unpretentious, but everyone could see clearly that it was the jade token of the eldest son-in-law, which was given to him by His Majesty back then.

The little eunuch presented the jade plaque to Yin Xi, and saw the familiar accessories. Gao Shan had told her long ago that the jade ornament was missing.At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it, she just thought that it was neglected and lost, and even though it was a precious thing, it didn't need to be used as a passport for identity, so she told Gao Shan not to look for it.

Now, this jade tablet inexplicably appeared in front of everyone, and she was sure that it must be the one given to Gao Shan by the emperor back then, because the jade quality and carving work are only worthy of the royal family.

The ministers of Yin Xi's faction also didn't know what to say, the news came suddenly, and the son-in-law had been missing for a long time, and he was also famous for assassinating the emperor.They could only look at Yin Xi. At this moment, they hoped that the Eldest Princess would draw a line between the eldest son-in-law, regardless of whether these things were done by the eldest son-in-law or not.

Yin Xi's heart was overwhelmed, she looked at Yin Pan's position, and saw that he was also looking at her, with that smirk in front of her, it was full of provocation and ridicule towards her.She knew that this matter was Yin Pan's plan, and she also knew that she couldn't tell everyone that the prince consort was actually by her side.It's like she deliberately shielded Takasugi, who had disappeared from the eyes of the world for half a year, and her personal belongings were discovered in Bingzhou, a hundred miles away. Even if she appeared in front of everyone, it would only make people feel wrong He instructed Takasugi to do everything.

She clenched her fist, looked at the jade tablet dangling in front of her, and waved it away.

"Princess, calm down." The eunuch was taken aback by Yin Xi's expression, and knelt on the ground trembling.

"Even if it's the prince's son-in-law's personal belongings, it may be used by someone with a heart, and you haven't seen the general's face yet, if someone..."

"Enough, step back." Yin Xi stopped the minister who spoke for Gao Shan, and now it will only become more and more black.

She looked at the respectful and respectful ministers who didn't even dare to show their air, and the royal family members who were obviously secretly happy, and said.

"I will personally investigate this matter. Come here, and first take the captain down to rest. Today's government affairs are discussed here, and the court will be dispersed."

"This..." Many ministers were slightly surprised, but seeing that the Eldest Princess had already got up and left, they couldn't help but look at each other's colleagues, not understanding what the Eldest Princess meant.

The ministers of Yin Xi's faction were even more ignorant, so they didn't expect that since the eldest princess avoided this matter, wouldn't this leave a mouth for them to say that the son-in-law's actions might really have something to do with her?The ministers looked at each other for a few moments, and then slowly dispersed.

Outside the front gate of the palace, Li Zhi was still a little worried. He waited with the Duke Yi Zhengnan and Zhonglang General Gao Jianping. When he saw the sedan chair of the eldest princess, he knelt down and bowed down.

"Princess."

Seeing the three ministers kneeling outside, Yin Xi had no choice but to get out of the sedan chair, let the servants wait at the side first, and then stepped forward to help the three of them, knowing their purpose, without explaining first.

Li Zhi couldn't hold back, and asked her anyway.

"Princess, why did you disperse?"

Seeing him straight to the point, Yin Xi just took a deep breath, not knowing how to answer.Did she want to say that she didn't expect Yin Pan to use such a method?In other words, she thought of many countermeasures and methods in her mind at the time, but she was still unwilling to give up Gao Shan?

Li Zhi saw the thoughts in the eyes of the eldest princess, and knew that today's facts were too sudden and shocking.But even if he is the eldest son-in-law, the eldest princess's husband, he is the biggest enemy of the eldest princess if he rebels now.

"Eldest princess, I know that you have feelings for the son-in-law, but the son-in-law is now violating morality by assassinating His Majesty and uniting with the northern countries to rebel. Even if the eldest princess doesn't believe it, this is already the truth. If the eldest princess doesn't make a decisive decision and make a clean break with the son-in-law Those who are interested will say that these matters are inseparable from His Highness. At that time, once the news of the capital spreads, if we want to regain our rights, the hope of helping His Highness ascend the throne will be even smaller." Yi Zhengnan said in a grave tone.He has been in politics for so many years, watching Yin Xi grow step by step to the present achievement, and he also knows how smart and decisive this child is.But she didn't expect that since she chose to escape today, it really doesn't seem like her style of doing things.

Seeing that the three of them were trying to persuade her, Yin Xi also knew that it was not easy for them to help her all the way, but she kept silent like this and didn't want to answer.

"Princess, if the princess insists on investigating this matter, I should do my best, but I also hope that the princess will not put herself in danger, and I will protect the princess with my life." Gao Jianping knelt down and said, he knew that Yin Xi was actually a stubborn person , once she recognizes something or someone, she will definitely protect her shortcomings.Now the eldest princess postponed this matter because she cared about the son-in-law, and he only hoped that Yin Xi would not make things wrong because of love.

"I have my own discretion, the three lovers should go back first." After finishing speaking, Yin Xi boarded the sedan chair and left without waiting for the three to answer.

Seeing the sedan chair getting farther and farther away, the three of them could only leave with a sigh, hoping that the eldest princess could quickly make a countermeasure.

When the sedan chair went outside the palace, Yin Xi felt a little bored, so she asked the bearers to go back to the mansion first, leaving a few guards at a distance, and walked back slowly by herself.

She looked at the peaceful main street around her. It seemed that this place was not affected in the slightest. Even under this dark sky, it was still bustling with the prosperity and prosperity of the capital.The common people are wandering in the street, and the early heat of June makes the silk shop business the best and the most crowded.

Yin Xi walked aimlessly, slowly, and didn't want to go back to the house. She thought about how to clarify Gao Shan's reputation, but found that she had no clue. She fisted her hands and leaned against the wall for a while.

"Elder Princess." The familiar voice made her turn her head and look at the person coming out of the door, only to find that the plaque said 'Li's House'.

"Secretary Li."

Li Da looked at Yin Xi's tired face, and knew that what happened in the court today made her sleepy.

"If the eldest princess doesn't dislike the humble house, come in and sit down."

Li Da made a gesture of 'please', Yin Xi thought about not going back to the house, so she nodded and entered the room.

"Princess, please sit up, and I will pour you a cup of tea first."

"You don't have to be busy, I will go back after staying for a while."

After hearing this, Li Da also sat down and looked at Yin Xi, still a little in awe after so long.

"I didn't expect you to be an official of the imperial court, but there are only a few servants in Nuo Da's house."

"I don't dare. Shanzi lived with me for a few days before. We were rough people and didn't like to be served by others, so there were only a few bookboys and servants left in the mansion. Later, after Shanzi left, the mansion was closed. It's quieter."

Seeing that Li Da mentioned Gao Shan, Yin Xi's expression also changed. He knew that Gao Shan had devoted his life to loving the eldest princess, and he also hoped that the eldest princess would not abandon Shanzi.

"Eldest princess, Weichen and Shanzi are both from humble backgrounds. They only want to have enough to eat and gain fame before joining the army. Shanzi is an honest man, and he will never do such a rebellious thing as a rebellion. I hope the eldest princess can see clearly. .”

Li Da knelt on the ground and buried his body very lowly, Yin Xi was somewhat relieved to see him protecting the son-in-law so much.

"I know, I know. Secretary Li, you should get up first."

Li Da looked at Yin Xi incomprehensibly, seeing that her expression was calm, and she didn't seem to be suspicious of Shan Zi, trying to figure out what she said, thinking that the eldest princess hadn't reconciled with Shan Zi for so long, so it might be possible.

"Princess?"

Yin Xi knew that he had guessed something, so she shook her finger slightly to tell him not to get excited, and be careful that the walls have ears.

Seeing this movement, Li Da instantly understood.Shanzi has been missing for so long, and he is extremely anxious. He has approached Mr. Dou hoping to help him find Shanzi's whereabouts, but Mr. Dou has not been in the mansion for many months.Unexpectedly, the eldest princess had already found Shan Zi.

"Secretary Li, I have something to ask you."

"Eldest Princess ordered, even if the humble minister is smashed to pieces, he will complete the mission of the Eldest Princess."

"No, I won't put you in danger. You are the best brother-in-law. I only want you to find a safe place outside the city. When the capital really becomes chaotic, you will take your son-in-law out of the capital. Come back after the capital settles down." After all, Li Da is not an important minister and pillar of the court, so he should avoid suspicion when doing things.

"Here, Eldest Princess, Shanzi will definitely not let you be in danger alone." Li Da replied, according to Shanzi's character, if something really happened, he must be the first person to rush out to protect the Eldest Princess.

"Don't worry about Secretary Li. I will take care of it. I only hope that you can agree to this."

"This..." Li Da looked at Yin Xi in perplexity, not knowing how to answer.

"You just don't let the son-in-law threaten the palace, okay?"

Li Da was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded solemnly.

"The humble minister will live up to the princess's entrustment."

"Thank you."

"Don't dare."

Yin Xi didn't say much anymore, she just stayed at Li Da's house for a while and then went back. When she left, she still told him not to arouse suspicion, gave him an ingot of gold, and left.
