Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Qi Fei bluntly confessed the prince's treason.

Someone finally said this, but after Li Mingda heard it, his heart was empty and he had nothing to do.If she insisted that she didn't care about Li Chengqian, how could it be possible.

In the past, the relationship between Li Mingda and Li Chengqian was frozen three feet, solid.Now there is only one layer of ice on the lake that melted in early spring. It looks intact at first glance, but it is thin. As long as a small stone is hit, it will crack, shatter, and stir up turbulence.

Fang Yi looked straight at Li Mingda's petite face without any disturbances, and seemed to have no abnormalities, but knew that she was calm after all, and her heart was as calm as water.

Fang Yi suddenly remembered the figure under the tree.

"Hahahahaha..." Seeing Li Mingda's silent expression, Qi Fei smiled ferociously, "Your lord is really interesting, isn't the purpose of your asking these questions just to know that the prince is planning to rebel. Now let me tell you, He really rebelled, why do you look disappointed and unacceptable? Could it be that your heart hurts! Hahahahaha..."

Snapped!There was a red mark on Qi Fei's left cheek.

After Tian Hanshu finished beating, he shook his hand.

This time, he exhausted all his strength, so his hands hurt from the blow.

The slap came so suddenly that Qi Fei didn't have time to react, his face was turned sideways and his body swayed.Qi Fei was furious, and gnashed his teeth at Tian Hanshan with a ferocious expression.

Tian Hanshan simply waved his hand, and slapped him hard, "Do you think you can scare anyone with your cowardly appearance, and you are famous all over the world... I think you are a coward and a moron! You just have no guts and the ability to walk the right path Only a person who is a good person will go out to do things like stealing chickens and dogs. You still think you are great, I'm sorry!"

Qi Fei's eyes were bulging, and his eyeballs wanted to stare out.

"Say one more word!"

"Besides, what can I do!"

……

Li Mingda looked up at them, staring sharply and silently.

Tian Hanshan immediately calmed down, knowing that his princess was angry, he quickly shrank his neck and stepped aside, looking at Qi Fei alone.

Qi Fei thought he was courageous, but after looking at Li Mingda, he felt very uncomfortable and lowered his head to avoid it.I don't know why, Princess Jinyang's eyes always seem to be able to see through him, which makes him feel guilty for no reason.

"Empty words without evidence are false accusations," Fang Yizhi suddenly said at this time, although his words were cold, he still maintained an elegant attitude, "You said that the prince secretly contacted you with the intention of rebelling, do you have any evidence?"

"How could someone leave evidence for this kind of thing? If I really took the evidence and said something unpleasant, then would he still be worthy of being a prince? Who doesn't know that treason is a serious crime, and one must be cautious before the big thing is done. OK." Qi Fei confessed.

Tian Hanshan already held a grudge against Qi Fei, and now he heard the words, Zhimen sneered, "If you dare to talk nonsense without evidence, then anyone can talk nonsense. I think you are a broken pot, knowing that you are going to die, Just open your mouth and bite people."

Qi Fei stared back at Tian Hanshan: "I don't."

"Let me tell you how the crown prince contacted you." Fang Yi said bluntly, and asked Qi Fei to describe the crown prince's appearance first.

Qi Fei was stunned, "I——I haven't seen the prince."

Tian Hanshan laughed, "It's really funny. Just now, whoever yelled and told everyone that the crown prince contacted you for rebellion, now he said that he has never seen anything with the crown prince. Look, you are really a wimpy mad dog." Biting people."

"I didn't bite anyone. What kind of person is the prince? Even if he wants to contact me, should he condescend to come in person? Naturally, he should send his subordinates away."

"Who?"

"Consort Du, Du He. He was recommended by Prince Jing Heng, and he wrote a letter and placed it at the contact point where we applied for mutual help. We found out that his identity happened to be Zheng Si, a servant of Princess Chengyang's mansion. , Shi Hongyu took the initiative to contact Zheng Si. After being recommended by Zheng Si, he met Du Mama and knew Du Mama and the crown prince's intention to rebel. The card was shown to me. It was a surprise at the time, I never thought that the crown prince and Concubine Du would come to ask me to help each other because of their reputation," Qi Fei explained.

"That's all?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"That's all, if you don't believe me, you can confront Zheng Si." Qi Fei said frankly.

Fang Yizhi asked Qi Fei how many times he had contacted Zheng Si through Shi Hongyu, and what he had done.

"'If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon'. Conspiring to become a king is a major event. It is necessary to gather more sages and officials to make a decision before making a move. Since I have decided to help the prince to achieve a major event, I must first make a plan and help him. The crown prince summons more sages and capable people. The more people there are, the greater the chances of winning. People like Prince Jing Heng, Fang Consort, etc., are all people who I decided to help the crown prince win over after discussing with Shi Hongyu." When Qi Fei said this, eyes lit up. He actually flashed a little bit of expression, but thinking of the current ending, he looked full of regret and loss, "It's a pity that the big event was only one step away, and you saw through the clues. The mutual help I worked hard for several years was ruined like this It could have become the largest gang in the world after the crown prince ascended the throne, and I am more likely to become a powerful minister of the Zhongshu Province and become famous in future generations. Ruined, ruined!"

When Qi Fei talked about 'fame to future generations', he burst into tears.This is probably his weakness, he can't touch it, and if he touches it, he will either go crazy or cry to the extreme.

Fang Yi felt that Qi Fei was too abnormal.He looked at Li Mingda questioningly, wondering if what he said was credible.

Judging from Qi Fei's expression, he really doesn't seem to be lying.Li Mingda nodded to him.

"However, Shi Hongyu did not confess these things. If she is interrogated again, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her."

Fang Yi nodded slightly to Li Mingda and said, "This is good to prove."

Seeing that Fang Yizhi had such confidence, Li Mingda's heart also settled down.But she still didn't open her mouth to interrogate Qi Fei again.It's about the crown prince, let Fang Yi come to the trial directly, the handling will be more calm and objective.

Fang Yizhi immediately asked Qi Fei about these matters, but Qi Fei mostly hesitated and couldn't answer carefully.Fang Yi knew that he had even explained the big things, so he couldn't stop talking about such small things.So the reason why he can't tell now is that he really can't tell.

"There is a lot of rain in summer, and the number of sunny days is twice as many as the number of cloudy and rainy days. Most of the time when you are not there, so when you are not around, these things are all done by Shi Hongyu?" Fang Yi asked directly.

Qi Fei nodded.

Then it is understandable why his confession is so, he can't say more.

After signing and depositing, the Yacha wanted to take Qi Fei down.

Qi Fei was still not at ease, struggling not to go, stretching his neck and repeatedly emphasizing to everyone that the 'mutual help' is all due to him, and now he has confessed to such an extent, please ask Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi to report the case , Be sure to describe it truthfully, and don't obliterate his credit.

Fang Yi laughed straight, and nodded to him politely.

Qi Fei immediately got great comfort, he didn't struggle any more, and let the Yamen escort him away with satisfaction.

Li Mingda propped his chin, looked at the room strangely with his head turned.

"How can you promise him this?"

"Promise what?" Fang Yi took a sip of tea without changing his expression, "It's just a nod, it doesn't mean anything."

"You are too bad." Li Mingda couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that she could still laugh, Fang Yi was relieved.It is expected that the princess knows the truth of right and wrong in her heart better than anyone else.

"There are too many people involved in this case. If everyone is summoned in the name of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the commotion will be too big and it will be difficult to end." After Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda finished talking, he sent Luo Ge to find Zheng Si , "You guys have talked face-to-face before, and you are still familiar. Talk to him secretly to test the situation."

Li Mingda just nodded in response to Fang Yizhi's first words, and after listening to his second words, he quickly indicated that she would go too.Luoge's temptation is to startle the snake.Weeding is secondary, and the key is to see how the snake reacts when it is frightened.

Fang Yi had expected that Li Mingda would say this, but in fact he also meant it.It would be great if the princess could hear something with her 'wind ear' after Luoge tested Zheng Si.So the two immediately discussed that when Du He took Zheng Si to go out, Luo Ge would wait for the opportunity to find Zheng Si.In this case, when their master and servant talked later, they could get closer in distance, so that they could be accurately heard by the princess.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Li Mingda said straight to Fang Yi.

Standing aside, Tian Hanshan only heard his own princess speak in full just now.Before Fang Shizi spoke too quietly to the princess, he stood behind her, but he could hardly hear Fang Shizi's words.Tian Hanshan couldn't bear it several times, and wanted to remind Fang Shizi that he couldn't hear a word when he spoke to their princess in such a low voice.But in the end, he didn't expect that the princess could hear everything clearly.

Tian Hanshan couldn't help but wonder if his ears were not as sensitive as other boys and girls because he was older?

He turned his head and went out, and when he asked someone to prepare tea, Tian Hanshan asked the palace servants around him to whisper to him to try.

The ears are also very useful!

Tian Hanshu buttoned his ears strangely.

Yuchi Baoqi was in a hurry at this time, seeing Tian Hanshan clasping his ears, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Tian's ears are uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, hey, why is Yuchi Erlang here? Wei Shizi and Di Dalang are both in your mansion to try the case at the moment, right?" Tian Hanshan couldn't help being happy when he saw Yuchi Baoqi, and asked him with a smile.

"Yes, it's because they are busy and I have nothing to do, so I came here to see what I can do to help." Yuchi Baoqi said.

"Qi Fei was interrogated just now, and the incident was quite serious, and your lord is not in a good mood." Mentioning the case, Tian Hanshan's face darkened.

"What? Could it be that they really had sex with..." Yuchi Baoqi looked at Tian Hanshan suspiciously.

Tian Hanshan nodded, he knew that the second half of the sentence that Yuchi Baoqi didn't say must refer to the East Palace.

Yuchi Baoqi frowned fiercely, and said distressedly: "She shouldn't bear this."

Tian Hanshan saw Yuchi Baoqi's affection at a glance, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He patted Yuchi Baoqi on the shoulder, thanked him for worrying about the princess, and asked him to do his best.

"Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't be here at this moment, you should lead me in quickly." Yuchi Baoqi said.

Tian Hanshan nodded, and immediately went to report, leading Yuchi Baoqi into the lobby.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi were still muttering, seeing Yuchi Baoqi coming, they both raised their heads.

Seeing the two looking at her at the same time, Yuchi Baoqi was startled.I just feel that the faces of the two of them, one is handsome and elegant, the other is beautiful and delicate, both of them are pleasing to the eye.

"What are you staring at, sit down quickly. Tell me, why are you here?" Li Mingda asked with a smile.

When Yuchi Baoqi heard that the princess asked him to sit, she was very excited, and her steps were light and joyful.After Yuchi Baoqi sat down, he took the initiative to ask Li Mingda if he needed some means to interrogate Shi Hongyu.

"I heard that she didn't explain clearly. There are many things that Qi Fei said, but she didn't say anything?"

Li Mingda nodded, "But I think Shi Hongyu might not be able to get anything out of the trial, after all Fang Shizi's previous methods of interrogating people already have some... um..."

After Li Mingda described this, he took a quick glance at Fang Yizhi, and his eyes were just caught by the other party.Li Mingda actually felt like he was a thief, and he was a little guilty.

"I have a more 'hmm'." Yuchi Baoqi said to Li Mingda excitedly, "I just happened to look through the torture techniques handed down by our Yuchi family today, and found that I had forgotten an unusual one. Why don't you try it?" Give it a try, maybe you can get some results."

"What method?" Li Mingda asked.

Yuchi Baoqi just opened his mouth and made a mouth shape when he heard Fang Yizhi cough lightly.Under Fang Yizhi's warning gaze, he opened his mouth and closed it.

Li Mingda: "You said it."

"Like fish, it's a kind of thing that lives in water." Yuchi Baoqi explained, "Actually, it's nothing special. I'll ask someone to get a few buckets later and try it out."

"Try it." Fang Yizhi said immediately.

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly agreed.

While talking, Wu Zuo went back and forth to report, when they checked Ye Yi's body, they found that there was a secret pocket in the sleeve of his clothes, which was hiding poison.

Li Mingda agreed, and sent him away.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly put on a serious face and stopped talking.

Li Mingda looked at him suspiciously and asked him what was wrong.

Fang Yizhi also raised his eyebrows at this time, and set his eyes on Yuchi Baoqi.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly knelt down to Li Mingda, apologizing for how he interrogated Ye Yi to death yesterday.

"It's not your fault, Ye Yi bit his tongue and killed himself." Li Mingda sighed, "These three Tubo spies should have discussed how to kill themselves after their identities were exposed. So the other two were arrested. They all committed suicide, how could it be your fault. You don't have to blame yourself. "

Except for Ye Yi, Chengmen Lang and Kubu member Wailang committed suicide because they took the poison they carried with them.The reason why Ye Yi chose to bite his tongue was probably because when he was being tortured by Yuchi Baoqi, his hands and feet were bound and he couldn't get the poison on his body.

Seeing that the princess really didn't blame him, Yuchi Baoqi smiled innocently, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said seriously that this time he interrogated Shi Hongyu and promised to be careful, and he would never let Shi Hongyu die.

"It's not a pity for her to die. If she doesn't confess again, there is no need to live." Fang Yi turned to look at Li Mingda, and suggested, "It is best to execute as soon as possible."

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi inquiringly, intending to ask the reason in detail, so he heard someone from the other side tell Du He that he was out now, and he had just come out of the East Palace, and was going to drive to the Minister's Mansion for a banquet.

"Today is Li Daliang's birthday."

"It's a coincidence, we just happened to be able to go." Li Mingda said straight to Fang Yi, then got up and ordered Tian Hanshan to prepare the congratulatory gift.

"Let me prepare it. It just so happens that Li Daliang's mansion is close to my house, so I can just pick it up in my warehouse and deliver it. If I wait for Eunuch Tian to go back to the palace to pick it up, I'm afraid I will miss the time for the banquet."

Li Mingda agreed, Yuchi Baoqi was sent to interrogate Shi Hongyu, and she went straight with Fang Yi.

After Yuchi Baoqi sent the two of them off with a smile, she scratched her head angrily, regretting that she had spoken too fast just now.The interrogation of Shi Hongyu is not something that must be carried out now, why should it be said so early.In this case, he can also accompany the princess to the banquet at this moment.

Li Mingda followed Fang Yi back to Duke Liang's mansion. When he got off his horse, Li Mingda smiled and said to Fang Yi: "Li Daliang's banquet must be separated from male and female family members. It is not appropriate for me to show up in this official robe, but to ask Your sister borrowed a set of clothes."

Fang Yizhi's younger sister, Fang Baozhu, has the same body shape as Li Mingda, so Li Mingda should have no problem wearing her clothes.

Fang Yizhi promised that after entering the mansion, while sending the housekeeper to the storeroom to get a decent birthday gift, he personally took Li Ming to Fang Baozhu's place and asked Fang Baozhu to give the princess a set of clothes.

Fang Baozhu was boringly hiding in the room drawing pictures, when she suddenly heard that her eldest brother brought Princess Jinyang to find her, she was terrified, felt very honored, and extremely happy.She hurriedly went to the closet and took out all the new clothes for the princess to choose.It still feels shabby, so I asked someone to inform my mother to see if there are any other precious stocks in the house.

Li Mingda said with a smile that he didn't need it, he just picked one and put it on his body.

Fang Baozhu and Fang Yizhi were waiting outside the room.

Fang Baozhu couldn't help being curious, so she took this opportunity to ask Fang Yizhi: "Brother, how is your investigation going?"

"Soon." Fang Yi replied directly.

Fang Baozhu frowned, and smiled meaningfully, "Then between you and your lord..."

"Shut up." Fang Yi looked directly at the closed guard over there, and then gave Fang Baozhu a warning look.The princess has a keen ear, and the princesses in the room must be able to hear everything that Baozhu said now.

Naturally, Fang Baozhu didn't know this, and suddenly saw her elder brother being aggressive towards her, she pouted unhappy, "Stingy, just ask, what are you doing? You are so fierce to me, be careful, I will tell Aniang when I turn around."

Fang Yizhi gave her another warning look.

Fang Baozhu is not threatened by Fang Yizhi, she knows that although his elder brother looks cold on the surface, in fact he has always been tolerant to his family.Ever since she was a child, her elder brother has always let her go and pampered her, and even the elder brother who bullied her even helped to take revenge back.Of course, Fang Baozhu didn't deny that it was because she was well-behaved and sensible, so she wouldn't be hated.

Fang Baozhu chuckled, and saw Fang Yi straight at a glance, "Brother is nervous."

"Baozhu, you really have to shut up." Fang Yi lowered his eyes, staring at Fang Baozhu seriously, his eyes turned cold.

The moment Fang Baozhu and Fang Yizhi looked into each other's eyes, they felt that the eldest brother was serious this time.She shut up obediently, looked at the closed door over there, then at Fang Yizhi, and fell silent for a while.

"Why can't you say it, she won't be able to hear it if you keep your voice down!" Fang Baozhu still couldn't hold back, this time she lowered her voice and spoke with her breath.

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and poked Fang Baozhu's forehead, "Don't stay here, go find A Niang."

"I still want to say a few more words to your lord." Fang Baozhu was messing around, with her neck stuck and her hands behind her back, she wandered around the yard, unwilling to leave.

Fang Yizhi: "Let's go?"

"Don't go."

"Then you lost Auntie's pearl hairpin—"

"Forget you, let me go!" Fang Baozhu glared at Fang Yizhi, pouted her mouth angrily, and left. Halfway on the way, she looked back at Fang Yizhi, and continued walking angrily. Ruthless, I forget my sister when I have a wife...

Fang Yi saw Li Mingda's face flushed when she came out of the room, and hurriedly asked her why and if she was not feeling well.

"It's nothing, maybe it's because the room is too hot." Li Mingda sighed in embarrassment, and went to search for Fang Baozhu, but he did not find her in the courtyard.

Fang Yi saw Li Mingda's intention of looking for someone, and explained: "I sent her away, this girl is poor, she likes to ask things that are useless, and makes trouble."

"It's good to be talkative, you're very likable." Li Mingda blushed again when he thought of what she had just heard, and then urged Fang Yi to leave quickly, and she went first.

Fang Yi looked at Li Mingda's back suspiciously, and followed him immediately.

Minister's Mansion.

Li Daliang never expected that Princess Jinyang would come to congratulate him on his birthday in person.He was very excited, and after seeing and thanking Li Mingda several times, he repeatedly told his wife in the backyard to entertain and take good care of the princess.

Not long after, the Li family had wine and dances in the garden, with male and female family members lined up on the east and west sides.

Luo Ge picked this opportunity to 'encounter' Zheng Si.

Luo Ge did not take the initiative to mention the case, but first felt tired and tired. Zheng Si asked why, and Luo Ge said that it was because he stayed up late with Fang Shizi to try the case.Zheng Si really moved his mind, and asked carefully how the investigation of Luoge's case was going.

Luo Ge mentioned Qi Fei, "It's a bit troublesome to interrogate, but it will soon become unbearable."

Luo Ge then briefly explained to Zheng Si the method used by Yuchi's family to torture prisoners. When Zheng Si heard this, he frowned, with a look of fear on his face.Then the two separated.

Zheng Si walked hurriedly to find Du He, bent down and whispered in his ear.There was a crack on Du He's face that maintained an elegant smile.He then politely apologized to Li Daliang with a smile, got up and left temporarily, and took Zheng Si to a quiet place in the garden to talk.

Li Mingda also got up at this time and found a quieter place so that he could listen to Du He's master and servant.

"What Qi Fei was arrested? Who is this Qi Fei?"

Zheng Si hurriedly explained what kind of gang Mutual Help was, and then told him that Shi Hongyu was actually a subordinate of Qi Fei, the deputy leader of Mutual Help.

At this moment, Du He frowned, and snorted coldly, "It's caused some trouble."

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

"It's just a woman, what's the big deal. Besides, I'm a son-in-law, and I'm sorry they don't dare to find me." The reason why Du He could say this was because he didn't know that the princess had found the prince.

"But this case is heard to be tried by Fang Shaoqing and Princess Jinyang. Fang Shaoqing's place is already difficult to deal with. Princess Jinyang has a noble status and is backed by a saint. If she wants to try, the son-in-law is afraid But." Zheng Si was worried.

"It's simple, I'll go back and beg her. We grew up together since we were young, so there should be some affection. She won't even give me this bit of face." After Du He said, he even sighed and disappointed, but he was not interested. Continue to stay here and send Zheng Si to inform Li Daliang, "Just say that I suddenly feel a headache, so I'll go back first, and tell him not to send it away."

Zheng Si agreed, and here we go.

Seeing that there was nothing to listen to, Li Mingda waited for Du He to leave, then went back, and then found a reason to leave the Minister's Mansion.

Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda then met on a secluded path facing the Shilang's Mansion.Fang Yi directly asked how Li Mingda was doing.

Li Mingda told Fang Yizhi the conversation she had heard.

"It sounds like it doesn't matter much, it seems that Shi Hongyu and Du He have some relationship between men and women." Fang Yi said straight.

Li Mingda: "I think so too. But what I heard just now is only one-sided, and I have to ask it myself. Besides, eavesdropping cannot be a testimony."

Fang Yi looked directly at Li Mingda, "Your lord really intends to question him? As far as I know, Concubine Du seems to hold some grudges."

"It doesn't matter, it's just that the next time we meet, it's just a show of shame, can he really take revenge on me?" Li Mingda smiled, and rode back to the Department of Criminal Justice with Fang Yizhi.

The two asked Li Jingheng, the prince of Jiangxia, about the situation again, and asked him if he knew that Shi Hongyu met him not only for sex, but also to win him to be loyal to the prince.

Li Jingheng looked bewildered, "What else? This, this... lasciviousness, I admit it. But forming a party for personal gain or rebellion, I absolutely can't afford it, I really don't have that in mind!"

Li Jingheng eased his astonishment while explaining, and begged Li Mingda: "I implore your lord, please don't believe the words of that mad dog biting, I, Li Jingheng, can swear to God with my life and the lives of future generations, I really don't Do anything like conspiring against the East Palace Prince Alliance."

Immediately, Li Jingheng also took the initiative to express that he could confront Qifei.

However, in the courtroom, when the hatchback talked to each other, it was "the mouth of the donkey is not the mouth of the horse".Li Jingheng wanted to clear himself up about the prince, and he had to reason with Qi Fei carefully.But Qi Fei kept talking about "Shi Hongyu's theory", all of which were completely different from Li Jingheng's.Li Jingheng said that the relationship between her and Shi Hongyu was only physical.Qi Fei said that Li Jingheng joined Mutual Help and was willing to be the prince's staff, so every time he provided information, he was just doing things according to his orders.

Li Jingheng had never talked to such a difficult person to communicate with, but in order to prove his innocence, he had no choice but to try his best to explain to Qi Fei.Qi Fei still insisted on the theory of conspiracy to assist the prince in recruiting capable people. Once he asked him about the details, Qi Fei would come up with "Shi Hongyu's theory".

Now compare, it is natural to know who is telling the truth and who is telling the lie.

After Qi Fei was escorted down, Li Jingheng was already so angry that his face turned red. "In this world, there is a stupid accountant who thinks he can dominate the world with his talent for revenge? Does he dream too much and can't tell the difference between reality and dream!"

"Your statement is reasonable. This Qi Fei is very similar to another Qi Fei's dream. The two Qi Fei's personalities are completely opposite. One is honest and useless, the other is arrogant and domineering. One is unknown and forgotten; the other wants to be famous all over the world. I want everyone to remember his name." Li Mingda concluded.

Li Jingheng nodded hurriedly, then sighed, a little regretful and annoyed, "Why did I argue with an abnormal person for a long time just now. It's ridiculous that the two of us are flying together."

Li Mingda and Li Jingheng politely asked him to trouble him, and asked Tian Hanshan to send him away.Then Li Mingda discussed with Fang Yizhi whether the Prince's rebellion was true or not, and whether there was evidence to prove it.

"If this is the case on Prince Jing Heng's side, the situation on Prince Consort Du's side is likely to be similar." Fang Yizhi guessed.

Li Mingda heaved a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Du He sent someone to invite Li Mingda to come over to the house.

When Li Ming arrived at Princess Chengyang's mansion, he still had some doubts about how Du He dared to ask him to talk here. Instead, he learned from the housekeeper that Princess Chengyang was not in the mansion for the past two days and went to Plum Blossom Temple.

"She is doing well, why did you go to Plum Blossom Temple all of a sudden?" Li Mingda saw Du He coming, and immediately asked him why.

Du He sighed: "Your Sixteenth Sister has been dreaming of Empress Changsun these past two days. She heard that His Highness the Crown Prince built an altar in the Plum Blossom View, so she decided to stay there for two days, so that she could offer incense and worship."

"Miss Sixteen has a heart." Li Mingda lamented her filial piety, "I should go later and learn from Miss Sixteen."

"Your lord is humble. Who doesn't know that your filial piety is also great." Du He complimented, then smiled and invited Li Mingda to sit, and then dismissed the idlers in the room, leaving only a few cronies by his side.

Du He then looked at the people behind Li Mingda, a little embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, just speak up if you have something to say, don't worry, the things I brought are strict-mouthed and won't talk nonsense."

Only then was Du He relieved, and asked Li Mingda about the case she was currently investigating with embarrassment.

"I also implore your lord, because we are relatives, to get to the bottom of it with me. Have you found out anything about me?"

"Why do you ask that?" Li Mingda asked.

"To tell you the truth, at Li Daliang's mansion today, my entourage heard a few words about the case from Fang Shizi's personal attendant, and I knew it. Then I heard that the nineteenth sister also went to Li Daliang's mansion Qingsheng, I'm afraid you didn't go for Li Daliang, but for me?" Du He asked.

Li Mingda smiled, noncommittal.

Seeing this, Du He took it as her acquiescing, quickly stood up and saluted, and pleaded with Li Mingda, "I have been with that Shi Hongyu a few times in the past. I blame that Shi Hongyu deliberately designed to seduce me. Seeing such a beautiful woman like a flower, I couldn't hold back for a while... I was fascinated by ghosts. Good sister, please don't tell your sixteenth sister about this. If you let her know, I will do this behind her back But I am very angry and sad again, so I will be in trouble."

"It's only once if I can't hold back for a while, how can I hang out a few times?" Li Mingda stared at Du He's face, "Does brother-in-law have any other relationship with that Shi Hongyu?"

"Any other relationship? What else do I have to do with her other than love between a man and a woman." Du He laughed and sighed, "It's just a ladylike family. Is it possible that I have to talk to her about state affairs?"

"Has the brother-in-law ever talked to him about important national affairs?" Li Mingda asked with sideways eyes.

Du He was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved, "This—" They seem to have really talked about it.

"Tell me the truth about what you guys talked about other than love between men and women, otherwise I'm afraid that Sixteenth Sister will..." Li Mingda said.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you. She said that she is a woman, and she doesn't understand what men usually say. She is curious and wants to hear, so let me give an example of the art of war. We talked to her about the border Some things about the formation of troops."

Li Mingda's face was serious.

"What's the matter?" Du He was startled, then looked at Li Mingda, "Could it be that Shi Hongyu is a spy from another country?"

"Brother-in-law's words reminded me that we indeed captured three spies from other countries, but I haven't really considered whether Shi Hongyu is or not."

After Li Mingda bid farewell to Du He, he heard that when she left in front of her, Du He scolded her for being troublesome.Li Mingda expected that Yiduhe's temperament would be like this, so he left without taking it seriously.Li Mingda immediately sent someone to inform Fang Yizhi, asking him to thoroughly investigate Shi Hongyu's origin.

Li Mingda returned to the palace immediately, and just as she arrived at the Lizheng Hall, Li Mingda received a reply letter from Fang Yizhi, telling Li Mingda that no one knew Shi Hongyu's origin. This person.No one knew where Shi Hongyu was and what she was doing before she met Qi Fei.Ask Shi Hongyu himself, and there is no serious confession.

Thinking of the other three Tubo spies who committed suicide, Li Mingda began to consider the possibility that Shi Hongyu was also a Tubo spy.But if Shi Hongyu was also a Tubo spy, it would be too strange that she and Ye Yi had no contact and didn't know each other.Ye Yi is obviously the leader who helps each other, but Shi Hongyu gets mixed up with Qi Fei who is not normal, which doesn't make sense again.

Li Mingda was in deep thought when he was suddenly startled by a report.In the next moment, Fang Qirui entered the door solemnly, and invited her to face the saint at the Lizheng Hall.

"Aye, aren't you busy?" Li Mingda asked curiously. Usually, this time is when Li Shimin approves the memorial and summons many courtiers to take orders.

"There's no one here today." Fang Qirui was taken aback, and smiled politely at Li Mingda.

Li Mingda noticed that Fang Qirui's attitude was wrong, he was worried, and took precautions, then hurried into the Lizheng Hall to greet Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was writing something, when he saw Li Mingda, he put down the pen.Then Li Shimin took a good look at Li Mingda's light pink gauze dress.

"New one? I don't see you wearing it before."

Li Mingda hurriedly explained that these were the clothes she borrowed from Fang Yizhi's younger sister, "Aye, please forgive me for not having time to change them when I come back."

"It's pretty." Li Shimin sighed, so that Li Mingda didn't have to be so polite, "You are different from those foreign ministers. This is your own home, and you can dress casually and comfortably at home. You came to see Aye, not a face saint. , there is no need to make it so formal. Between us father and daughter, we should be intimate and say everything."

Li Mingda should be, but hearing Li Shimin say this suddenly, he felt uneasy.

"How's the case going?"

"There are still some situations that need further confirmation." Li Mingda said.

"Hmph," Li Shimin sneered, and then dropped the pen in his hand on the ground.

Seeing this, all the palace people in the house immediately knelt down, begging the saint to appease his anger.

Li Mingda looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, "Aye, what's the matter?"

"Your elder brother is suspected of treason, and the evidence is conclusive. You have found out the truth today, why didn't you present it to me immediately?"

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Li Shimin's half-written content on the table, where the words "Deposed Prince" stood out strikingly.

Li Mingda's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down, bowing his head in silence.

"I'm asking you something. Isn't this evidence enough to convict your elder brother?" Li Shimin grabbed the booklet on the table and angrily threw it on the ground, right in front of Li Mingda.

Li Mingda picked up the memorial, flipped through the content, and found that it was the same as the testimony he gave in the hall today.

"Aye?" Li Mingda raised his head and looked at Li Shimin in surprise.

"Your elder brother planned to rebel against me without telling me, and my two good sons-in-law also participated in it, and when my beloved daughter heard such important news, her first reaction was to hide the news of her elder brother's rebellion. Why, Aye Staying in the Lizheng Palace for too long has made you feel upset?" Li Shimin lowered his eyes and squinted, and finally sneered.

"No!" Li Mingda raised his head and stared back at Li Shimin with her dark eyes.

Li Shimin sneered in surprise, "Are you staring at me like that?"

"Aye said that Sizi can do anything, but Aye said that he wronged Sizi to see you upset, Sizi refuses, firmly refuses to admit it! Aye is the most important person in Sizi's life, and Sizi is willing to trade his life for it. Aye smiled. But Ayeruo felt that Sizi was wrong about this matter, and he didn't want to listen to Sizi's explanation, but wanted to punish Sizi, so Sizi has nothing to say." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he kowtowed to Li Shimin.

Most of Li Shimin's anger from the storm dissipated.

The hall was silent for a long time.

Li Shimin reached out to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda looked at Li Shimin's hands, bowed his head and remained silent, kneeling.

"Get up, it's cold on the ground." Li Shimin shook his hand, letting Li Mingda pull his hand to stand up.

Li Mingda turned his head away, not looking at him.

"It is because I know that this matter is of great importance, and I know how important the elder brother is to Aye, that Sizi hopes that the case will be settled after all the evidence is conclusive.
