prince's concubine

Li Rui jumped off his horse and bowed to the emperor. When he glanced at the queen mother, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "The queen mother? Unexpectedly, the queen mother came out to greet the king in person this time. This king is really flattered!"

The queen mother snorted bitterly, "The prince has worked so hard, how can the Ai family turn a blind eye? I heard that all the barbarians in the south died in your hands, and the Ai family is very curious. What kind of demon method did you use to suppress it!"

Li Rui smiled, "The Queen Mother is so interested, so I dare not refute the Queen Mother's interest, and I will definitely talk to the Queen Mother in detail when I have time."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, turned her face away and did not speak again.Li Rui's fresh face is the biggest irony to her!This fact has already made her want to kill the man with a bright smile on his face with a knife.

The emperor's age seemed not much older than the prince's, but his eyes looked a little silly.He didn't feel the open and secret fight between the queen mother and the prince at all.

For Li Rui's return, he is really happy. Li Rui has been out for almost three months, and he can't find anyone who can play archery with him to his heart's content!

The emperor enthusiastically held Li Rui's hand and happily discussed with him about when to go to the archery competition together, but he had long forgotten about a group of ministers and the queen mother.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is exhausted all the way, I'd better invite him back to the mansion to rest for a while, and will attend the palace banquet later." Prime Minister Wang had no choice but to remind.

Suddenly being interrupted by someone made the interested emperor very displeased. He glared at Prime Minister Wang, pouted unwillingly, and looked at Li Rui carefully, only to find that Li Rui did look a little tired. Smiling sheepishly, he reluctantly let Li Rui go home to rest, and repeatedly told him not to forget to go to the palace to attend the celebration banquet before leaving.

It turned out that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was very intelligent since he was a child, and he was deeply loved by the first emperor and the queen mother. He was also the eldest son, and he became the crown prince at the age of seven. Accidentally fell into the water and developed a high fever, which burned my brain.Now I am 26 and seven years old, and I still only have the IQ of a six or seven-year-old child.Originally, the prince’s brain was burned out. From the perspective of the overall situation of the country, the prince should be replaced. The first emperor wanted to change, but the queen mother firmly disagreed, saying that the prince is the foundation of the country. Once the foundation is shaken, the world will shake. How can the emperor use the world to joke? !Prince Kuang is like this due to illness, once he loses his status as a prince, how can he survive in this world!

The first emperor felt sorry for the crown prince when he was persuaded, and with the empress dowager's insistence, he didn't mention this matter again.After the death of the first emperor, the crown prince came to the throne, and the power was gradually controlled by the queen mother.

Li Rui glanced at Prime Minister Wang calmly, parted ways with the emperor with a smile, and returned to the palace.

Back at the palace, Tang Jian immediately reported all the affairs in the palace these days according to the facts.

Li Rui washed away the dust all the way, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and put it down. Just as Tang Jian finished talking about the Zhong family, he fell silent for a moment.

"It seems that the Queen Mother is at the end of her rope! Even a worthless person like the Zhong family was sent here, and a sick child was also sent here, which is interesting." Li Rui frowned and smiled contemptuously.

Tang Jian glanced at Li Rui, "The villain always feels that the Zhong family is hiding something from the lord, and the villain also asked the maid who waited on the lady. She is a child of a family with no status in the mansion. If the family is favored, the girl who waits on her will not go up and down? And according to this girl, this Miss Zhong's family has been sick since she was a child, isn't it suspicious that she can't remember who the doctor she invited to see the doctor? What's more suspicious is that night Chen eavesdropped on the conversation between the Zhong family and his wife, no matter how he listened to it, he felt that there was something wrong."

"Well, there are indeed a lot of doubts. First, send someone to watch carefully, and don't startle the snake." Li Rui tapped the lid of the tea bowl lightly with his hand, "Akun, have you found out who leaked the king's whereabouts?"

Akun said, "I checked it out. It's Liu San, the waiter of the restaurant. It happened that Liu San was on duty that day. When the prince was walking down, Liu San accidentally saw the royal jade pendant flashing by the prince's waist, and he was greedy." Read it, the secret report was given to the queen mother's spies in the restaurant, and the prince was attacked by surprise."

"Where are people?" Li Rui asked.

"I'm locked up in the dungeon now." Akun said, with self-blame on his face.

"Well, are there any other discoveries?" Li Rui stood up and set off in the direction of the dungeon.

Akun, Achen, Agan and Tang Jian followed immediately.

"Tang Jian, you should make arrangements for entering the palace first. Let Ah Feng and Ah Yue lead people to make emergency preparations, and be careful that the Queen Mother jumps over the wall in a hurry." Li Rui paused when he stepped out of the door, and turned around to give another order. walk forward.

"Yes, my lord." Tang Jian stopped in his tracks and responded.

The entrance to the dungeon is in an inconspicuous ear room in the backyard of the palace. There are only a few landscape paintings hanging in the ear room. Li Rui pressed a random landscape painting, and the landscape painting automatically closed to reveal a door. As the door opened, Li Rui left go in.

When Li Rui was interrogating the prisoner, Zhong Min was gnawing on the delicious braised pig's feet contentedly.

"Master, are you really alright after eating so much?" Bingyan looked at Daduo's happy Zhong Min with a worried face.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhong Min looked at the pile of bones piled high on the table without blushing, "Your young master, it's rare for me to eat a good one. Naturally, I have to eat enough. Don't keep looking at it." It’s so easy to buy so much, you can eat a piece too.”

Saying that, he stuffed the last pig's trotter on the table into Bing Yan's hands.It's not that he's unkind, it's just that he's too greedy to hold back.

"...Young master," Bingyan took over the oily and fragrant pig's trotters at a loss, and subconsciously swallowed "servant, servant..."

"Don't waste your time, eat it quickly! It will be miserable if people find out." Zhong Min gnawed off the last piece of meat, and filled his oily mouth with satisfaction. Relying on Manager Tang's special care, Zhong Min, in order to relieve his gluttony, The boy who asked Bingyan to go out to the comprador brought back six braised pig's trotters.The unexpected benefits brought to the body by medicine and food supplements in the past few days made Zhong Min very happy and at the same time, he naturally wanted to make full use of them. The overflow of vitality made the superpowers improve rapidly, which Zhong Min had never thought of before. He always thought it was Due to the reason of this body itself, this ability from another world cannot be used as it should be, but I don't know, it is not.Only because this body has not been able to get the energy it deserves, it is difficult to break through the ability.Now that everything is finally clear, it is natural to add more!

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Zhong Min told Bingyan to remember to bury the bones after eating in the ground behind him, then cleaned his hands and face, and told Bingyan to stay in the outer room and not allow anyone to come in. Then he sat on the bed and began to practice.

After Li Rui finished the trial, when he came out of the dungeon, it was already dark.The moment the sun fell into the horizon, it was about to release all the last afterglow, and the earth suddenly brightened, dyeing the clouds in the sky red, so red that it was amazing and dazzling.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly closed his black pupils, he actually saw a bright green in the fiery red!

"That's..." Li Rui couldn't help asking, pointing at the flashing bright green.

Akun, Agan, and Achen didn't pay attention, they followed the prince's hand and saw nothing, they couldn't help being stunned, a little confused.In the end, Ah Chen selectively gave an answer, "There... seems to be the 'Green Garden' where Jiu Yiniang lives."

Um?Li Rui was stunned instead, "Jiu Yiniang? The first daughter of the Zhong family?"

"Yes,"

Li Rui hooked his lower lip in an unclear way, "...what a coincidence!"

Akun and the three of them didn't understand, they didn't dare to answer, and they all lowered their heads.Fortunately, Li Rui didn't intend to ask them to answer.

"Follow this person to find that spy. I want to see how many people the Queen Mother still has buried in the restaurant." Li Rui retracted his eyes. forgotten."

"Don't worry, my lord, the things have already been put in the car." Ah Chen said.

Li Rui nodded in satisfaction, walked to his residence, changed his clothes and set off.

A group of four people had just passed through the alley when a figure suddenly jumped out from the side and bumped into Li Rui. Li Rui dodged and stepped aside, the figure fell to the ground with a sad and delicate sound .

Akun and others had already protected Li Rui in the middle with a sword step, and asked sharply, "Who is it?!"

The person who fell didn't seem to have expected such an ending. He trembled in fright, his voice changed, and he hurriedly replied, "It's me, it's me, I am Luo Yuyan, Sixth Aunt!"

Hearing that it was the sixth aunt, Ah Chen and the others had only Ah Chen staying in the mansion, so Ah Kun and Ah Qian glanced at Ah Chen at the same time as a proof. Rui's side.

"Luo Yuyan?" Li Rui twitched the corner of his mouth coldly. He had already guessed that it was the concubine from the backyard when he heard the delicate voice. He just didn't expect the concubine from the backyard to be so bold.

"Yes, it's a concubine." Luo Yuyan hurriedly helped her carefully combed makeup, enduring the pain and getting up from the ground in a bit of embarrassment.Early this morning, when she heard that the prince was coming back, she carefully planned this coincidence. Originally, she planned to bump into the prince, but who knew that she missed it and fell to the ground in disgrace. Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise she would lose face up.

"Are you spying on me?" Li Rui looked at the shy and happy woman in front of him with cold eyes, his disgust was hard to hide in his heart, and his tone was as cold as frost.

"Ah?" Luo Yuyan thought of many kinds of beginnings but never expected that the prince would say such a sentence. The joy in her heart collapsed instantly when she saw Li Rui's icy eyes. Dare to monitor..."

"No? Without you, how would you know that this king is going to pass by?" Li Rui stated blankly, "How could you bump into this king by such a coincidence without you? No one gave you a message, how did you know that you must come here?" It’s this king! Akun, call Tang Jian to investigate this matter thoroughly. This king has only been away for three months, how did this palace become like this!”

Li Rui left to attend the celebration banquet in the palace.

Luo Yuyan was locked up, Tang Jian was severely scolded by Li Rui, and began to clean up the palace.Ah Kun and Ah Gan looked at each other and smiled at each other. This sixth aunt is simply a roundworm in the prince's stomach. Knowing that the prince is planning to clean up the palace, she took the initiative to find a perfect reason for the prince!
