Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Your lord, don't get me wrong, there is actually some difference between Yizhi's behavior and 'provocation'. Provocation is malicious, while Yizhi's is just the opposite." Fang Yizhi's voice was low and deep, and the corner of his mouth was twitching when he explained. Smiling, "When I mentioned this, I suddenly thought of a sentence."

"What?" Li Mingda tilted his head and asked Fang Yizhi curiously.

"It's the phrase 'Death under a peony flower is also romantic'. It's a bit vulgar, but it just fits Yizhi's current thoughts."

Li Mingda's cheeks were glowing. She glanced at Fang Yizhi embarrassedly, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. It's interesting that a serious person like him would use such words to describe himself, but she didn't know why, she His face became hot, and he was even more shy than Fang Yizhi.

"It's a bit vulgar, but with this description, I can probably understand how you feel in your heart."

Fang Yizhi: "Your lord is wise."

Li Mingda was putting the tea to his mouth when he choked on these four words and almost choked himself.

Fang Yi expressed emotion directly: "Yi Zhi's mother was a jealous one, I was just like her that day."

Fang Yi pointed out that his previous behavior was slightly offensive, and it was due to 'jealousy'.

"Oh, where did you offend?" Li Mingda gave him a mischievous look, then pursed his lips and smiled, "Why didn't I feel that?"

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Li Mingda, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

"Ahem...let's talk about the case." Li Mingda blinked his left eye at Fang Yi, then looked away with a blushing face, with a hint of 'revenge' in his smile.

Fang Yi was stunned again, only then did he realize that what the princess said just now was intentionally 'molesting' her back.I couldn't help but want to laugh, and when the two sides looked at each other, they both laughed, and they didn't care about the world around them.

The three people who were unable to provide an alibi when Master Yong'an died, have now been taken to the Meilin on the mountain behind the Plum Blossom Nunnery.The three of them were then led by the guards to wait in Merlin. When they heard that the princess and the crown prince came to ask in person, the three of them became excited instantly.Seeing the messenger go, only the three of them were left here.Because there was no one else around, when the three of them heard that a nobleman was coming, they still bowed their waists and waited cautiously during the first incense stick. Straightening his waist, he pricked up his ears and looked in the direction where the guards left, but no one came.

"When will this be?"

"I don't know, but since she is a nobleman and a dignified princess, it is natural to put on a show, and we grass people wait for nothing."

"That's right, the last time there was a major incident in our county, it took half an hour to see the county magistrate. This is a princess, so it will take an hour or two."

"But no matter what, it's all your fault. You insisted on leading us to climb the wall and run down the mountain to steal meat and drink. Today, only the three of us have no proof of presence."

……

After hearing this, Li Mingda beckoned his followers to ask a question, and then sent the three of them away.

The three were disappointed when they heard that the princess suddenly disappeared from them again.The three of them were suddenly asked where to eat at the bottom of the mountain, and they were stunned for a while, wondering how they knew this.Immediately, I felt embarrassed and told that it was by the stream on the east side of the mountain. They killed a big yellow dog raised in the nunnery, so they found a remote place and roasted the dog meat.

"How did you say you were sleeping inside the house?" Tian Hanshan glared at them.

"I don't think about it. The three of us did it ourselves, and no one proved it. Speaking of stealing the dog, in a place like the Buddhist School, those nuns would definitely clamor not to keep us. It’s all over, I was originally here to beg Master Yong’an to be pitiful and take us in, if we are driven out like this, the weather will still be cold, there is really no place to live.”

"Really," Tian Hanxi laughed angrily, "He kindly took you in, but because you couldn't bear to eat meat, you killed his dog. You still have the cheek to want to continue living, do you deserve it?"

Tian Hanxi scolded the three of them severely, and hurried to inform Li Mingda.

Li Mingda personally took people down the mountain to find the place where the three people said they roasted dog meat. Sure enough, he found some intestines and other things by the remote stream ditch at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. There were also scattered and incompletely burnt firewood ends.

Tian Hanshi picked up a bunch of yellow dog hair on the ground, and the guards over there also found some bones along the river ditch, confirming that it was unintentional.Tian Hanshan quickly climbed up the slope, and nodded to Li Mingda who was on the slope.

"These three people are really outrageous, but it has also been confirmed that they were indeed eating dog meat here at the time, and there was no way to go to the mountains to kill people."

"I still have to ask to make sure that the dog was indeed lost on the morning of Master Yong'an's death." Li Mingda said seriously.

Tian Hanshu went back and asked about it carefully, and it was confirmed.

"The yellow dog was indeed there before breakfast, because the nuns in the nunnery would go to the Daxiong Hall to chant scriptures together every day, I am afraid that these people stole the dog at that time!"

Di Renjie heard this from the sidelines, and said: "Since the suspicion of the three people has also been ruled out, it proves that these cases are like those five businessmen. Maybe they decided to kill people temporarily for some reason. At first, Jian Wenshan came to find Zhao When he was in Furong, he didn't have the intention to kill, but after that he did not know why, so he killed the three masters by himself or in partnership with five people."

"His motive for killing Mr. Yong'an can be barely understood as revenge, but what is the purpose of killing the other two teachers. These two teachers have nothing to do with what happened between Mr. Yong'an and Zhang Xuanzhen back then." Li Mingda looked Following the background investigation of these two teachers, they did not find anything suspicious about them.Both of them are locals, and their homes are in nearby villages and counties, so they can almost know all the experiences of the two of them before they became monks.

The two masters Ren'an and Ci'an didn't have any particularly bad reviews before they became monks. On the contrary, they were both praised as good housekeepers.

The two of them went to Meihua nunnery to become a monk after Zhang Xuanzhen's death.Logically speaking, it shouldn't have anything to do with Jian Wenshan who is far away in Dingzhou, so that Jian Wenshan hated them so much that he wanted to kill them.

But what is the reason for Zhao Furong?Jian Wenshan kept saying that he wanted to find his fiancée Zhao Furong.And this Zhao Furong's name happened to be the lay name of Mrs. Ci'an.However, it is impossible for Mrs. Ci'an to be Jian Wenshan's fiancée.How could his fiancée's name coincide with Master Ci'an so coincidentally, and on the evening of the night when Master Ci'an died, he just happened to find it.

"It doesn't look like a coincidence. It's either someone's intentional arrangement, or he's really the murderer, the kind of murderer who does things that are more unbelievable."

Di Renjie smiled helplessly, "I'm really going to be confused by this matter, it feels more complicated than the mutual help case."

"We still have to re-examine Jian Wenshan, but now that he is suppressed by the Beijing government, I don't know if the governor of Jingzhao government will give this face."

"The princess came forward, how could he refuse?" Di Renjie was puzzled.

"You don't understand these veterans of the imperial court. They respect us young royal juniors. They really want to do things, but they like to be serious." Li Mingda sighed.

Di Renjie nodded in understanding, and said to Li Mingda: "All your lords just let brother Yi Zhi talk about it?"

Li Mingda nodded.

Not long after, Fang Yizhi brought a few Yamen servants from Jingzhao Mansion, and brought Jianwenshang, Li He and other five people to the courtyard.At the moment, only Jian Wenshan was called into the house.

Jian Wenshan's complexion was decadent, and his eyes were darkened. Although the audience made him nervous, it was still difficult to hide his tired look.Apparently he had been up all night with anxiety.

Fang Yi asked Jian Wenshan to explain the matter, "The few people present may be rare nobles who think that you may be innocent, if you don't know how to cherish it at this time, then I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to cherish it again in the future. "

Jian Wenshan was taken aback, looked at Fang Yizhi in surprise, then at Li Mingda and Di Renjie.Like a person who endured the darkness for a long time, he finally found the light.Jian Wenshan kowtowed to Li Mingda excitedly, begging the princess to help him rectify his name and settle his grievances.

"Caomin really killed those three masters! Caomin is willing to swear any poisonous oath. Caomin really doesn't know that Mrs. Yong'an has something to do with my biological father Zhang Xuan, let alone that Mrs. Ci'an is also called Zhao Furong. To be honest, Before yesterday, the grass people didn't know what the names of the masters in Meihua Temple were."

"Your fiancée's real name is Zhao Furong?" Li Mingda asked.

Jian Wenshan agreed, "Returning to your lord, his name is Zhao Furong. He looks like a lotus, has a gentle temperament, a little talent, and can get along well with grass people."

"Sounds like a nice woman, how did you meet, and why did she leave you suddenly?" Li Mingda asked.

Jian Wenshan shook his head, "She is an orphan without parents, and she went to her cousin's house with her relatives. Because I had some contacts with her cousin, I was lucky enough to meet her, and I will never forget her every year. Later, the two The elders made the decisions and decided on this marriage.

There was a quarrel about the marriage three months ago, and her aunt, Lion, opened her mouth, and suddenly asked for double the dowry to let me marry her.How could I be so angry, so I wanted to reason. She explained to me that she would bring the money back as a dowry and would not lose me.But Cao Min still thinks that this is not the case. People and businesses are the same, so how can they go back on their promises?But she felt that I didn't care about her, so she argued with me a few words.I got angry and yelled at her for a while, but she just cried and stopped talking.Later, I regretted it, and borrowed money from relatives and friends, and managed to get enough money together, but I heard that she was heartbroken and suddenly disappeared. "

"She's still a woman with a strong temper who can't rub the sand in her eyes." Di Renjie sighed.

Jian Wenshan nodded, "That's why I know that although she usually looks gentle and weak, I didn't expect her temper to be so serious. I was also angry at the time, thinking that she didn't believe me, how could she treat the marriage contract between us so hastily. But the more time passed, the more I missed her, and felt that it was because I didn’t do well enough that I let her down. After all, she was an orphan with no parents, and she was dependent on others, and her mind was a little weaker than others. I began to look for her everywhere. A few days ago, I got the news that it was Aunt Wang who came back from Chang'an City. She said that she had seen Furong when she was offering incense in the Plum Blossom Temple, but when she called her, people walked away more and more anxiously, and deliberately threw her away. I killed her. As soon as I heard the news, I hurriedly prepared to come here, but I didn't expect that the person could not be found, and I was wronged in a murder case."

After all, Jian Wenshan is an educated person, and his speech is fairly organized.After saying these words, he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Mingda, Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie, begging the three nobles to show mercy and help him clear up his grievances.

"This Zhao Furong is indeed a bit strange. If she had made a marriage contract with you, she shouldn't have changed her mind and asked for more dowry. She made a mistake first, and after the dispute, she left first. She didn't give you a chance to correct your mistakes and regret it. .Would this be a love affair?" Li Mingda felt that most women in the backyard would not have the courage to do so.

Fang Yizhi also nodded, "Your fiancée is too decisive in doing things. As the princess said, she was the first to blame, and you didn't want to divorce her, but she ran away first. What's the reason? I think this Not to the point of breaking her heart, unless you do something else to make her sad to despair."

"No, absolutely not. It's too late for me to treat her well. Besides, we are not married yet, and we only meet every few days. Most of them are watched by the elders. How can we do anything to make her sad." Jian Wen mountain road.

Li Mingda thought for a while, then asked Jian Wenshan and Zhao Furong when they first met.

"About half a year ago." Jian Wenshan said.

Li Mingda raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Half a year ago?"

Jian Wenshan nodded, "About half a year ago, I came back from business at the end of the year, and then took some things from other places to visit her uncle and aunt, so I saw her."

"In other words, you and her were within three months from acquaintance to engagement, and in the next three months she left home and never appeared again." Li Mingda confirmed it.

Jian Wenshan agreed.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie.

Fang Yizhi nodded slightly, expressing that his current suspicions should be the same as Li Mingda's.

Di Renjie also understood this wisely, "Fortunately, we have already sent people to Dingzhou to investigate. This investigation is so necessary."

Hearing this emotion, Jian Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the three nobles in puzzlement, "What is the investigation? Your lord doubts the identity of the grassroots people?"

"Your identity really needs to be verified, but your fiancée Zhao Furong is even more suspicious. I'm afraid her identity is fake. If she is really fake, then you are a victim who came here from thousands of miles to be a scapegoat." Li Mingda sighed.

Jian Wenshan was stunned again and again, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he blinked, thought carefully, and then gradually became clearer, then frowned and looked at the three nobles, "Could it be that this matter has been extremely complicated from the beginning to the end? Maybe I was tricked?"

"Yes." Di Renjie said.

Jian Wenshan shook his head and denied it: "Impossible, Zhao Furong is the wife of the Zhao family's niece, and both sides are old acquaintances, old neighbors, how could they lie to me with such things."

"There is still deception between brothers and sisters, let alone you are just neighbors." Li Mingda thought of the prince, and his heart twitched.

Jian Wenshan opened his mouth, still surprised and unbelievable, "I don't believe it, even if my old neighbor lied to me, Furong wouldn't lie to me either. She is a clean and beautiful woman like a lotus flower, her every frown and smile are full of kindness, even the ants How can someone who is not willing to be stepped on by me do such a thing to deceive people."

Di Renjie touched his nose, pursed the corners of his mouth, and tried his best to hold back his smile.

Li Mingda waved his hand, sent someone to take Jian Wenshan away, and asked someone to separate Jian Wenshan, Li He and other four people for the time being.

Li He and the other four saw that the princess only summoned Jian Wenshan, but did not see them. They even singled out Jian Wenshan and imprisoned them. They were very worried that Jian Wenshan framed them behind their backs. I begged to see the princess to complain.Not wanting to be gagged, he and the other three were forcibly escorted back to the room for guarding.

After Li He was locked in the room, he knocked on the wall with his fist unhappily, then screamed in pain, and scolded Jian Wenshan for not being a thing, so that they would be brought into such a life lawsuit.

"I'm so confused that I don't know anything. If I don't know, I will be charged as a murderer and be beheaded and hung on the city gate!" In Li He's impression, murderers always hang their heads on the city gate.

The other three, like Li He, felt extremely wronged and scolded Jian Wenshan together with Li He.

"But I'm afraid scolding won't work anymore. Now the government office, the princess, and the county king don't stop the four of us explaining." The man who said this immediately burst into tears and sat on the ground with his head in his arms. , expressing that he does not want to die.

Seeing this, the other two also followed him, putting each other's shoulders together and crying loudly, shouting together that they were afraid to die.

Seeing them like this, Li He scolded them for being useless, but in the end he joined the 'camp' of the three who didn't want to die and cry.

"The three big men cried like children." Li Mingda stood under the plum blossom tree twenty feet away from the back of the house, and said to Fang Yi with emotion.

"Then Zhao Furong needs to be investigated even more clearly," Fang Yi said straightforwardly.

Li Mingda nodded, "If there are real evidence, this case cannot be resolved quickly within three or four days, so we have to wait five or six days after the investigation in Dingzhou is completed."

A gust of wind blows, and a few plum blossoms fall on Fang Yizhi's shoulders.

Li Mingda's eyes then fell on it.

Fang Yi glanced sideways, then brushed off the petals with his fingers.Seemingly unconvinced, a whole plum blossom fell from the top of Fang Yizhi's head, right at the intersection of Fang Yizhi's forehead and hair.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi with a bright and jade-like face, and stared at a plum blossom facing him. It was very funny, and he couldn't help laughing several times while holding his stomach.Tian Hanxi, Luo Ge and the others who were standing beside looked at it, but couldn't help it anymore, and pulled the corners of their mouths.

Fang Yi looked at them innocently as if he didn't know anything.

Luo Ge hurriedly went to fetch the plum blossom from Fang Yizhi's head, and showed it to him.

Fang Yi bowed his head, looked at the little red plum blossom lying in his palm, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he made a fist, and put it behind his back.Fang Yi looked straight at the group of people who couldn't help laughing, and asked them: "Is that funny?"

"It's funny, haha..." Li Mingda covered his mouth and laughed, his eyes were crescent-shaped.Then before parting, Li Mingda did not forget to tell Fang Yizhi that his three books were very good-looking and wonderful.

Fang Yi salutes directly.

After the people left, Fang Yizhi turned his head and looked at the plum blossom tree.

Luo Ge hurriedly apologized to Fang Yizhi, sorry that he didn't react immediately, and helped Fang Yizhi get rid of the plum blossoms on his head, which made the prince look ugly.

"Ugly? How ugly is it?" Fang Yi stretched out his hand behind his back and still clenched his fist.After returning to his room, Fang Yizhi put a plum blossom that had already warmed him in the daily booklet he wrote every day.

The plum blossoms are sandwiched between the snow-white pages, and the red and white are distinct, which is eye-catching.

"Yan Ran's mind is disturbed once, it's not because of her son that she wants someone else.

The emeralds are flying endlessly, wishing to dance wings among the clouds. "①

Fang Yi picked up his pen and wrote these two sentences beside the plum blossoms.Then he closed the book, sat there with his back straight, and closed his eyes.After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and let out a smirk, but Luo Ge was terrified and stood by in a daze.

……

In the next two days, Princess Jinyang was bored in the nunnery, so she would often leave the hospital with two attendants and walk around in the nunnery.The pilgrims all knew that there were noble people in the nunnery, and that there were three murders, which were very infiltrating, so they basically didn't go out except to go to the dining hall for three meals a day.The nuns still live their daily lives step by step. The incense in the nunnery cannot be cut off, let alone the chanters, and there are still many pilgrims who need their care. He was even more nervous and busy, and even the dishes had to be washed seven or eight times before he dared to cook for the nobles, for fear of neglecting the nobles because of a slight mistake.

On this day, Li Mingda came back from a walk outside and saw Li Zhi waiting in her room.

As soon as Li Zhi saw her, he opened his mouth and asked, "Look at you, you've been going around in circles for the past few days, what have you gained?"

"Yes." Li Mingda sat down and drank tea to quench his thirst after speaking.

"What is it?" Li Zhi stretched his neck, and asked Li Mingda expectantly, "I heard from Bai Ming that you don't think Jian Wenshan and others are the murderers, but you are curious about what to investigate and deal with."

"The three late masters were very good at disciplining the nuns," Li Mingda said.

Li Zhi was very disappointed, "What important discovery do I take, just this?"

"Depending on what you think, if you think it is a major discovery, then it can be counted." Li Mingda argued.

"Okay, okay, my sister is amazing!" Li Zhi cooperated immediately, but praised without sincerity.

Li Mingda glanced at him sideways and snorted softly, expressing that he was not as knowledgeable as him.She finished the tea in the bowl, as usual, she would ask Tian Hanshan next to her every day if there was any news from Chang'an City.

Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps outside, and someone said that someone was coming from Chang'an City.

Li Mingda clenched the teacup in his hand and stared at the door.Li Zhi was beside him nagging Li Mingda not to be too hopeful, maybe their Aye has forgotten them who are still living in the temple.

"Well, I've lived here for a few days, and my stomach has become smaller, and there is no oily water." Being a noble king, he eats whatever he wants, and has never thought much about meat. Really miss the taste of meat.

At this time, someone outside the courtyard shouted that people from Chang'an City were coming.

Li Zhi patted the table with his hand, and ordered someone to come quickly.

The messenger knelt down, and at the urging of Li Zhi, immediately conveyed the words of the sage King Yunjin and Princess Jinyang returning to Beijing.

Li Zhi was very excited, and immediately ordered someone to prepare his luggage, and immediately called Li Mingda to set off to go back.

Cui Qingji heard the words and rushed over to bid farewell to the two of them.At the end of the farewell words, Cui Qingji looked at Li Mingda with fiery eyes, and saluted again.

Li Mingda had been looking forward to the news, but at this moment he suddenly heard that he was going back to Beijing, and he felt a little scared in his heart.She stood where she was, hesitating.

When Li Zhi heard from his subordinates that the carriages were all ready, he turned around and urged Li Mingda to leave, but he saw that she was still standing there in a daze.Li Zhi hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

At this time, Fang Yizhi, Di Renjie, Yuchi Baoqi and others also arrived to see Li Zhi and Li Mingda off together.

Li Zhi sighed: "Whatever to send, you must also go back to Chang'an, so let's go together."

Everyone agreed, and then immediately packed their luggage.

Li Mingda followed Li Zhi into the carriage, and within an hour, the carriage drove into Chang'an City and went straight to Chengtian Gate.

After the two brothers and sisters went to the gate of Huahua, they immediately saw Fang Qirui waiting there, and under the guidance of Fang Qirui, the two went straight to the Lizheng Hall to pay homage to Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shimin's exhausted face, Li Mingda knew that he hadn't had a good life these past few days, so he felt sore in his heart.

The brothers and sisters had just saluted when they were called by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin did not procrastinate, and solemnly told the two of them that he had already decided to depose the prince.Then he explained the reason, and told them that he was very unwilling to have this happen, but the prince's intention of treason was clearly revealed. This decision was made after he thought about it for a long time, discussed with the ministers several times, and finally The result of having to do it.

Both Li Mingda and Li Zhi lowered their heads, neither brother nor sister chose to speak at this moment.

Seeing their brothers and sisters like this, Li Shimin felt faintly sour.The two of them should have guessed it a long time ago, and the brothers and sisters really don't like to judge this matter, "Forget it, you are all tired, so you should go back to your room to rest earlier. This matter is your elder brother's own mistake, he You should be punished for this. You don’t have to ask too much, just live as you usually do.”

Both Li Mingda and Li Zhi nodded in agreement, then bowed to Li Shimin and left.

That night, Li Mingda heard from the Legislative Hall that Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji and others were discussing how to deal with the prince who had conclusive evidence of treason.

Changsun Wuji directly suggested execution, so as to serve as an example.Fang Xuanling felt that the crown prince was always of noble status, and even though he had served as the crown prince of the East Palace, he had also made meritorious service, so he should save his life.

Li Shimin sighed, and immediately agreed to Fang Xuanling's proposal.

"Just deal with it and don't have any more objections. If there is no accident, don't mention this matter again. This matter ends here, and that's all." Li Shimin sighed prostrately, and his words were full of exhaustion, helplessness and dissatisfaction. sad.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others also withdrew afterward.

Can't sleep all night.

When Li Mingda got up the next day, he was still uneasy about this matter, and asked Fang Qirui in private, if Fang Xuanling's memorial last night had agreed on a specific time for the prince to be exiled to Qianzhou.

Fang Qirui shook his head, expressing that he was standing far away and didn't see it, "Why does your lord ask this? I would like to advise your lord, don't mention this matter in front of the sage later, and it's best not to mention anything about the prince in the future." .His Royal Highness has always been extraordinary in the hearts of saints. After this incident, I am afraid that my heart will be hurt. Even after a few days, it will be scarred and untouchable."

Li Mingda nodded, knowing that Fang Qirui's reminder was for his own good.

"I also expected this, so I came to ask Eunuch Fang."

"I'm afraid I have to ask Mr. Fang about this matter. I really don't know, and I'm afraid even Uncle Changsun Guo doesn't know." Fang Qirui said.

Li Mingda nodded.

Fang Qirui sighed, and then entered the Lizheng Hall. Li Mingda did not go in, but stood outside thinking about what to do next.Immediately, he heard Li Shimin in the hall asking about himself, Li Mingda hurried in, went to Li Shimin's side, and asked him how he slept.

Li Shimin squinted his black eyes and smiled at Li Mingda, "It's okay, how about you?"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin raised his head and touched Li Mingda's face.Li Mingda blinked, but still couldn't hold back the tears, and immediately fell on Li Shimin's knee and cried, telling Li Shimin to be sad if he is sad, why bear it.

"Yeah, why bear it. A child knows that he doesn't have to bear it, but when he grows up, he will be able to disguise himself even more." Li Shimin touched Li Mingda's head and sighed. He didn't know whether he was sighing himself or sighing Li Chengqian.

After the father and daughter were sad, they really relieved a lot.Li Shimin, who couldn't eat for days, was able to eat a whole pancake this morning.

Today is the Great Asahi, and Li Shimin then took Li Zhi to the court.Li Mingda then sent someone to communicate directly with Fang Yi, hoping to know the news about Fang Xuanling through him.Unexpectedly, when Cheng Chubi went to Liang Guogong's mansion, he didn't see Fang Yizhi. He heard that he went to the Taoist temple with Mrs. Lu, and asked to sign to get rid of bad luck.

Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Baoqi bumped into each other, not long after Di Renjie heard the news and rushed over from his room.

Di Renjie asked Cheng Chubi what the news was.Cheng Chubi hesitated for a while, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"Don't tell me, I also know that if you are looking for Brother Yi, it must be because of Fang Gong. After I returned to Beijing, I also found out about the former prince. It was really a surprise. I didn't expect him to rebel." Yuchi Baoqi looked around. , and whispered.

Di Renjie nodded, expressing that the news was a shock to him as well. "There was no sign of it before."

"Don't talk about you, I thought I was a well-informed person in Chang'an City, but I didn't hear any rumors. It's really embarrassing, extremely embarrassing!" Yuchi Baoqi patted his handsome face lightly, not daring to If you use force, you are afraid that it will be broken, and you will not be qualified to judge the master in the future.

Di Renjie glanced at him, then turned to Cheng Chubi and said seriously: "So if you have something to tell us, just tell us, if we are not sure, we will find a solution. Maybe I just heard Fang Gong talk about it this morning."

Cheng Chubi made sense after thinking about it, the princess was in a hurry on this crucial matter, fearing it would be delayed, so he said: "It's the day when the former crown prince left Beijing."

"It's really what I said, I know about it, but it's still too late."

"Why do you say that?" Yuchi Baoqi asked Cheng Chubi step by step.

"Last night, after the decision was made, it was carried out immediately. Now I am not in Chang'an. However, if I chase after him immediately, it will definitely be useful. The precious master is now in the princess. According to the saint's temperament, I am afraid that he will not let her go for a while. Go out of the palace to meet the former prince." Di Renjie analyzed with reason.

Cheng Chubi was startled again and again, and sighed, feeling sorry for the princess's heart.Immediately after returning to life, seeing the princess nodding with an indifferent face, she thanked him.Cheng Chubi felt even more sour in his heart, after resigning, he saw Fang Qirui walking towards him.Cheng Chubi's heart trembled, he wondered if Fang Qirui had brought the sage to hold him accountable, but he would never betray the princess on this matter, so he blurted out the confession.

"Have you asked?" Fang Qirui looked around and whispered to Cheng Chubi.

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi knew that Fang Qirui also cared about the princess, so he told the story with a sigh.

"The sage gave such a reply last night." Fang Qirui sighed, "Forget it, if we don't see each other, we can leave the best appearance for each other. I think the former prince would definitely not want the princess to see him like that."

After Fang Qirui finished speaking, he sighed for a while, although his heart ached, but there was nothing he could do, then he returned to the Lizheng Hall and continued to serve the saint.

Three days later, Li Shimin saw Li Mingda forced himself to smile all day long, and knew that what happened to Li Chengqian was a blow to her, so he should ask this girl to do something to distract her.

"I promised you to be an official before, but I didn't consider that you will have a lot of inconvenience when you work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. After that, Aye has been thinking about a suitable position for you. You are the honor of the emperor, and you are smart and clever. , who is well versed in the way of solving cases, inside and outside Chang'an City, when many aristocratic nobles are suspected of being involved in a case, they will use their connections to hinder the investigation of the case. Besides, the backyard of the nobles is also a place that the yamen cannot touch. And you Your status and talent can just solve these things. You are noble, even if they have objections, they dare not do anything to you, and you are a woman, so it is easy for you to go in and out of the back house."
