Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Chapter 16 Acting like a spoiled child

"Do you want to kiss each other, don't touch your hands." Li Xi withdrew his hand and squatted in the corner to draw a circle.

The hand that Wei Yu had written was holding it weakly, as if worried about crushing the words inside.

My palms are itchy, and my heart is also itchy.

Li Xi shook his head, desperately reminding himself——

No!

You can't play like crazy!

He still has to wait for that who, who comes back, to confess to him!

In short, he is well behaved.

No more clamoring to go out.

Wei Yu looked at it with his eyes and chuckled softly.

In the main hall, there is not enough light, it is gloomy and dim, only the group of small bugs are bright colors.Let him... can't help but want to tease him.

Someone came in a hurry, saw Wei Yu, and said anxiously: "The companion in front of King Fu must have been arrested. He said that he was the main culprit of King Rui's fall from the horse. The saint hurriedly summoned people from Dali Temple to Chenming Hall for interrogation—"

"Who?! Who was arrested?" Li Xi jumped up suddenly.

The man was startled, and said in a daze: "No...figs, it seems to be called this."

"This is obviously aimed at me." Li Xi sneered, grabbed Wei Yu's belt, "I'll go with you!"

Wei Yu nodded and didn't stop him again.

But the person who came was embarrassed: "The sage only said, let the next official come and call you..."

Wei Yu said calmly: "It's okay, I will explain to the saint myself."

The visitor is inexplicably at ease.

With Wei Yu supporting him, even if the Dali Temple collapsed, it would not be able to hit him.

On the way, he briefly talked about what happened.

Dali Temple first found out that the eldest prince fell off the horse because a golden ring on the saddle was loose.Later, an embroidery needle was found in the interlayer of the saddle cover, and it was this needle that frightened the First Prince's horse and threw him off the horse.

Originally, this needle could be explained as Xiuniang's carelessness, but the needle was poisoned, so it couldn't be an accident.The poison on the tip of the needle is not enough to kill, but it will drive the horse crazy, just enough to disguise it as an accident.

And that pair of saddle covers was Li Xi's companion - Fig, who put his gloves on the eldest prince's saddle.

"That idiot Fig, why would he touch the saddle of the eldest brother? It's probably someone who took advantage of it." Li Xi called into the air, "Little Pepper."

With a click, the dry twigs were broken, and there was an extra person beside Li Xi.

Hu Jiao was expressionless, but there was an imperceptible trace of annoyance in her cold eyes—shouldn't just care about posture and not look at the branches!

Li Xi patted her on the shoulder, "It's already very good, you can't be too harsh! Then, go find that idiot Fig, and ask him what's going on—by the way, what happened to mother and elder sister?" ?”

"No problem. The Empress Dowager is here."

Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, "Go!"

Until Hu Jiao's figure disappeared on the wall, the little official who led the way was still in a daze.

Wei Yu was also a little surprised: "She has been following you?"

"Only outside, I won't follow when I enter the hall. Pepper... I don't like places with roofs."

Wei Yu heard the hesitation in Li Xi's words, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After talking, we arrived at Chenming Palace.

The sage was in the main position, with one hand clasped on the table and the other rubbing his temples, his face sank like water, scaring the people in the hall into silence.

The arrival of Li Xi caused a little commotion, especially those officials of Prince Rui's Mansion, some glared at him, some sneered, as if they had already decided that his head would not be safe.

In the past, even if they did not deal with Prince Fu's Mansion, these people would not dare to show their faces.Seeing the sage only talking to Wei Yu and ignoring Li Xi now, his snobbish face was immediately revealed.

Wei Yu saved the eldest prince, this is a great contribution, and there will be a decree issued afterwards to reward Wei Yu.As long as Prince Rui's Mansion is not too stupid, it will send a whole load of gifts to Wei Yu's house.

Now the sage just said a few words to Wei Yu first, and let them predict that Fu Wang's mansion will lose power, and all the families will be executed?

Li Xi scolded "Stupid".

Sure enough, there are short-sighted masters, and there are short-sighted dog slaves.

Speaking of which, will the eldest prince use this opportunity to win over Wei Yu?

Wei Yu was 16 years old in the palace examination, and even won three praises from the saint; he was an official for less than eight years, and he was promoted from Jingzhao Mansion to Dali Temple, and he was promoted several times; Will the prince let it go?

Li Xi was distracted when he suddenly heard the saint calling him.

"Uncle, is Eldest Brother alright?" The first sentence he said was to express his concern for the Eldest Prince.

Sure enough, Li Hong's face turned pale, and he said: "The arm is broken, it will be fine after two months."

"One hundred days of injury, at least three months!" Li Xi sat down on his head with a sincere face, "I still have a tiger bone, which was given to me by my uncle when I was hunting last year. Tomorrow, No, I will send it to the eldest brother when I return to the mansion later."

Li Hong looked at him and gave a faint "hmm".

With just such a soft sound, an invisible storm was set off in the hall.

What did King Fu say just now?

Returning to the mansion later... Being able to return to the mansion proves that he will not be imprisoned.

The saint complied!

He didn't mean to obstruct or criticize at all, and he didn't even show a skeptical attitude!

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, startled.

They were sent here by the eldest prince to add insult to injury, and now the attitude of the saint... who would dare?

Li Xi is no less aggressive than these people, but he only uses his brains when protecting his family and himself. Unlike these people, his daily life is full of troubles and intrigues.

Just when everyone thought that he would justify himself next time, Li Xi did the opposite and said angrily: "Uncle must investigate thoroughly, I want to see who dares to take the bear's heart and leopard out." Murder brother!"

Li Hong gave a rare smile and asked, "Who do you think is better to check?"

"Ah? Let me say?" Li Xi looked confused and naive, "It must be the second brother-in-law, only the second brother-in-law would be biased, wrong, uphold justice, and clear the suspicion for the Fu Palace!"

Li Hong's smile deepened, and he leaned on the bed with his elbows relaxedly, "Since Xiaobao said so, then... definitely can't be Minzhi."

Li Xi was overjoyed at first, then wrinkled his face after hearing that, his acting skills were top-notch, "Then uncle asked me to say..."

"I just want to see if you have selfishness."

"Of course I do. I have a hundred selfish intentions."

Li Xi leaned over, grabbed Li Hong's sleeve carelessly, and said in a soft voice: "Uncle, I know that Dali Temple arrested my companion, and some people said, 'What can companion do, it must be ordered by King Fu '...I must slap them in the face!"

Li Hongdao: "This case has been handed over to Dali Temple for presiding judge, and Zongzheng Temple as assistant. Now there is only one presiding officer missing. Cece—"

The book is Li Xi's small characters. Every time the saint calls it this way, either Li Xi has caused trouble, or he is going to test his homework.

Li Xi shrank back subconsciously, and blurted out: "I, I, I, I can memorize "July" tomorrow!"

The corner of Li Hong's mouth twitched, "Who tested you for reciting poems..."

She waved her hands in disgust, "Forget it, you have nothing to do here, go and see your grandmother."

"No!" Li Xi jumped up happily, muttering while running outside, "Go to grandma for help..."

The sound is not loud, but just enough for the people in the palace to hear.

Li Hong not only didn't blame him, but was amused by him.

The minds of a group of courtiers fluctuated.

Does the sage believe in him or doubt him?

Even if the eldest prince's fall from the horse really had nothing to do with King Fu, wouldn't the saint want to take this opportunity to take back the Tiger Talisman of the Forbidden Army?

Wei Yu was also thinking secretly.

He was thinking of Li Xi's name.

Xi, the seal of the emperor.

book, imperial edict.

Who took it for Li Xi?

What's the point?

***

The side hall, in a hidden ear room.

Yang Xixi was very angry and growled, "How did you do it? Why did King Rui fall from the horse?"

Yang Huai frowned, "Yang Xixi, who gave you the face to talk to me like this?"

"You know my identity! Treat me as you treat Li Mujin!" Yang Xixi looked arrogant.

Yang Huai sneered, he didn't expose her after all, but said impatiently: "Don't you think this is fun? The first prince fell off the horse, Prince Rui's mansion can't escape the responsibility, Li Xi and Li Mujin will be in trouble."

"Fun?" Yang Xixi laughed back angrily, "Murdering the prince is a crime of beheading, and the entire Fuwang Palace will suffer accordingly!"

"Don't worry, Prince Fu's Mansion cannot fall. With the Empress Dowager present, no one can touch that family. The only one who will be punished is..."

you.

Against the light, Yang Huai slowly raised his lips.

Yang Xixi was startled suddenly, "What do you mean? Who will be blamed, figs?"

"You'll know in two days." Yang Huai was in a good mood, and walked away.

So far, everything is going according to his plan.He used Yang Xixi, not to help her deal with Li Xi or Li Mujin, but to deal with Wei Yu.

He didn't want Wei Yu to be the son-in-law of Prince Fu's mansion, so he deliberately involved the eldest prince.Once the case is handed over to Dali Temple, Zheng Shaoqing can push it to Wei Yu without him doing it.

He plotted in every possible way and chose himself cleanly.Wei Yu searched and searched, and only found Yang Xixi and Yang Shi. Yang Shi will be fine, but Yang Xixi will be in bad luck. Being a slave is easy.

Since Yang believes that Yang Xixi is her own daughter, how can she let go of Wei Yu who indirectly harmed her "daughter"?

Having a grudge with Prince Fu's Mansion will not only make this marriage a success, but also Wei Yu's future official career will be hindered.

Relying on his good knowledge and being reused by sages, Wei Yu doesn't pay attention to these family members. Today, let him see the methods of the family!

Wei Yu has already seen that this is a bureau, not only targeting Fu Wangfu, but also involving him.

Since the accident, another young minister claimed that he was in shock and returned home sick, while Dali Siqing went out on business and returned after several months. Counting and counting, this case will only fall on him.

If he finds out the truth and it really has something to do with Prince Fu's Mansion, he will definitely offend Prince Fu's Mansion; if he helps Prince Fu's mansion to be cleared of suspicion, he will offend the Eldest Prince.

After all, the attitude of King Rui's subordinates was already very clear. Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Li Xi, they would use it to make a fuss, for the sake of the 30 forbidden army tiger charms in Chang'an City.

Therefore, for Wei Yu, the best choice is to be wise and safe, just like Zheng Shaoqing.

"The reasons are all ready-made. Let's say you were there at the time and saved the First Prince. Suspects should be avoided in this case." Xiao Zirui said in a low voice.

Wei Yu rubbed the tiger's mouth, his eyes darkened.

He knew very well that even without him, there would be other capable ministers to investigate. As long as Li Xi was innocent, the saint would not do anything to him.

However, this case might turn into a battleground for power...

Wei Yu nodded slightly.

Save yourself first.

Xiao Zirui gave him a punch with a smile, "I know, you are not a stubborn young man."

Wei Yu ignored him and focused his attention on Li Xi. He had a sullen face and hurried steps, which was quite different from his usual lively and carefree appearance.

"Brother Wei, Shu Yun, Brother Yu, you have to help me." Li Xi grabbed Wei Yu's belt and shook it.

Wei Yu's eyes paused. Is this habit of pulling his belt when he disagrees with him only for him, or for others as well?

Also, this "problem" of acting like a baby...
