"The sons and ministers see the mother and concubine."

As soon as he entered the door, Li Wenyu knelt down and saluted respectfully.

The hall was as warm and fragrant as ever, and Concubine Shu was unwilling to treat her badly even if she was guilty.

Hearing the sound of the door, Concubine Shu looked up lazily, and raised her hand to Li Wenyu who was on the ground, "Get up, I'm wearing a sinful body, what do you do to me?"

Li Wenyu stood up without answering.

The emperor put Concubine Shu under house arrest, and they were waiting for them. The walls have ears, and if they can say a word less, they will be less risky.

"You two brothers were kidnapped by the people from the Western Regions in the palace. I'm really worried. Did they make things difficult for you?"

Concubine Shu gave a rare word of concern.

Li Wenyu's heart tightened.

"If you go back to your mother and concubine, no."

I only heard Concubine Shu let out a long sigh, and there was even some relief in her tone.

"I'm sorry for your sixth brother, he's covered in bruises and bruises all over his body. This kid is also stupid. People from the Western Regions can just make up a nonsense question, and he has to suffer this crime."

Hearing this, Li Wenyu frowned. The injuries on Li Wenyu's body were originally caused by the collusion with Jin Panda, but now from Concubine Shu's mouth, it is loyal to protect the country.

One was bruised and bruised, and the other was safe and sound. Comparing the two, it was obvious who was more suspicious.

He accidentally jumped into the pit dug by Concubine Shu without paying attention.

"The sixth brother suffered such a serious injury, and it is inseparable from the son. The son managed to burn his own room and fled in the chaos. The people from the Western Regions couldn't find the son, so they tortured the sixth brother."

Li Wenyu deliberated for a long time, and told half-truths and half-false reasons for Li Wenyu's injury.

Hearing that Li Wenyu's injury was because of him, Concubine Shu raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"You know what's wrong?"

Li Wenyu froze for a moment, what was his fault?

"Before I left, I repeatedly asked you to take care of my sixth younger brother. Is this how you take care of him?"

Concubine Shu asked responsibly.

I always felt that these words were a bit awkward, Li Wenyu hesitated for a long time, but couldn't make a mistake, so he could only keep silent.

"Forget it, he deserves it."

I thought it would be a protracted battle, but Concubine Shu suddenly stopped talking.

"After I'm gone, your brother still has to count on you. He's a silly boy, so don't hold grudges against him because of me."

Concubine Shu came out from behind the screen, her makeup was exquisite, and her complexion didn't look like a prisoner at all.

But when she reached out to hold Li Wenyu's wrist, the exposed arm was already skinny.

"I'm tired, you go back and rest too."

Concubine Shu touched Li Wenyu's hand with nostalgia in her eyes, then opened the door and pushed Li Wenyu out.

When Li Wenyu turned his head, he saw Concubine Shu standing at the door. This was the first time she watched him leave. The door was just so open, but Concubine Shu couldn't take a step out. She could only watch him leave with tears in her eyes and a smile. .

The door behind him was closed, and Li Wenyu stood outside the palace for a while, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Concubine Shu was beautiful and intelligent, and indeed she had the capital to be competitive, but she was too ambitious, and the Holy Grace could not tolerate her ambition, and she could not escape death in the end.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the secret guard conveyed the conversation between the mother and son to the emperor intact.

The next day when he went to court, Li Wenyu stood among the officials, his heart hanging high. When the three of them came back, someone would definitely bring up the matter of Liancheng.

Unexpectedly, the person who mentioned this was his father.

"Wenzhen, Wenyu, since the two of you have come back, will there be any results regarding Liancheng?"

The emperor's eyes were full of coercion, all the officials were silent, and the two people who were named stood out from both sides.

Li Wenzhen lowered his head, glanced at Li Wenyu, and waited for him to speak out, the credit can also be credited to him.

Unexpectedly, this person said it was true, but what he said was completely different from the truth.

"Report to the emperor, the son and minister are incompetent, and the Liancheng matter has not been found out."

Hearing Li Wenyu's words, Li Wenzhen's heart was shocked, and he turned to stare at him. What happened yesterday that he didn't know about?

"No results found?"

The emperor repeated Li Wenyu's words, and his eyes were heavy on the two of them.

All the officials noticed that these two princes who were supposed to be tit for tat stood together this time, and together they failed the emperor's expectations, and they also failed their expectations.

People on both sides hope that the princes they support can stand up and say a little bit more progress than the other side. After waiting for a long time, no one moves, and several ministers feel that even if one of them comes out to express their opinion first, it still doesn't matter. People move.

"His Majesty……"

A minister from Li Wenyu's camp couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up and wanted to say something.

"I remember, I only called two princes."

The emperor's understatement made the minister retreat in embarrassment.

I thought the situation was going to be stalemate like this, but I didn't expect the third prince to stand up suddenly.

"Father, my son is at fault."

Li Wenyu uttered his voice twice, which made Li Wenzhen sweat for him.

"What's wrong?" asked the emperor.

"At that time, the princes of the Western Regions were imprisoned in the palace, and the sons and ministers couldn't bear to think about being insulted by them before, so they wanted to go to the prison to show them some color. A momentary negligence made a big mistake, allowing the traitor to escape, and even implicated him. Sixth brother."

Concubine Shu moved people with affection first, and the emperor oppressed with prestige later, Li Wenyu simply took the charge.Now that the emperor has not questioned him, it is better for him to admit his mistake than to be tortured to extract a confession.

After Li Wenyu finished speaking, the emperor didn't change his face. It would be fine if Li Wenyu didn't plead guilty, but he took the initiative to confess, and even picked someone who was neither serious nor serious, which made the emperor puzzled.

Li Wenyu's people below all looked over, a little unbelievable, this is the third prince, did you just give up like this?

I thought this matter was absurd enough, but what happened next left all the officials dumbfounded.

"Father, the third brother acted bravely for a while, and let go of the people from the Western Regions was an unintentional act. These days are not easy compared to him. Now that he has realized his mistake, please forgive him this time."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the eldest prince, who had been silent since the beginning of the court, moved. He thought he wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the third prince for his own benefit, but he pleaded for the third prince.

This time it was Li Wenzhen's turn to be nervous, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that His Majesty was in a bad mood, and the First Prince wanted to show the Emperor his brotherhood, so he couldn't be so indiscriminate.

"I know. From now on, the third prince will move out of the palace and move to the palace outside the palace. Without my permission, he is not allowed to step out of the palace, and outsiders are not allowed to visit."

After speaking, the emperor looked at Li Wenzhen again.

"The eldest prince is not doing well, and the monthly salary will be halved."

"That's it, I'm tired, and all the lovers will retreat if there is nothing to do."

After finishing speaking, the emperor asked the eunuch to help him up without waiting for them to speak, and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Long live my emperor!"

After watching this farce, the officials didn't come back to their senses when they heard that the court was retreating. It wasn't until the emperor had walked behind the screen that someone came to greet him.
