Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Qirui: "Can't you see?"

Fang Qirui shuddered, and hurriedly knelt down to make amends, apologizing to himself for not talking too much.

"You also think I should match her and Cui Liulang." Li Shimin sighed, raising his hand to signal Fang Qirui to get up.

Fang Qirui grasped the 'yes' in Li Shimin's words very accurately, and tentatively asked Li Shimin: "Could it be that someone else persuaded His Majesty?"

"Concubine Yang also said that since the two love each other, why bother to stop it." Li Shimin felt that he should reflect, "This statement is very reasonable, but I shouldn't force it. Besides, this child Qingji is not too bad. "

Fang Qirui nodded in agreement, and hastily sighed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin sighed twice, but felt regretful, and then thought about choosing an auspicious date for marriage, and ordered to go to the Si Tiantai to calculate the auspicious date, and see the report tomorrow.As soon as the voice of the order here fell, there was a report from the other side that Princess Jinyang had arrived.

Li Shimin coughed, then picked up the memorial on the table and pretended to read it seriously.Hearing Li Mingda's footsteps approaching, he greeted him softly, and then he looked up, but saw Li Mingda was holding a pot of orchids that bloomed well, looking at him with big bright eyes.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and asked her, "What are you doing holding flowers?"

"This is the best pot I have raised, give it to Aye!" Li Mingda turned around and handed the flowers to Fang Qirui.

"Put it here, I'll have a better look." Li Shimin said.

Fang Qirui hurriedly smiled and put the flowers on the table.

Li Shimin picked the leaves of the orchid with his hands, carefully looked at the whole orchid, and sighed that Li Mingda was well-raised, "Why do you think of giving me this when you are so beautiful?"

"To solve the case today, everyone came. After discussing the case, we chatted for a while. Speaking of orchids, Fang Shizi's words just reminded me. Aye also loves orchids, so naturally I want to give Aye a pot first." After Li Mingda said it with a smile, he approached Li Shimin coquettishly, and secretly glanced at his expression.

Li Shimin smiled happily, his expression remained unchanged, he only lamented Li Mingda's filial piety.

The next day, after Li Mingda left the Lizheng Hall, Fang Qirui hurried back to Li Shimin.

"How?" Li Shimin was still busy with the matter at hand, and he would not have time to raise his eyes to look at Fang Qirui in the future.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, when the princess left today, she didn't bring anything special, but Eunuch Tian held a pot of orchids in his arms." Fang Qirui truthfully told Li Shimin the result of his observation, and then he secretly observed Li Shimin's expression, I wonder why the sage asked him to inquire about these things.

Li Shimin's face immediately collapsed, he snorted coldly, and slapped his pen on the table.

"Your Majesty?" Fang Qirui bowed cautiously.

Li Shimin glared at Fang Qirui, and then sent an order to the Department of Der Spiegel for a secret investigation. He wanted to know who the pot of orchid would be given to in the end.

Fang Qirui rolled his eyes, knowing that the sage was angry, the princess took away a pot of orchids, the sage was angry because the princess hadn't planned to give it to him, but only took a pot after being reminded Send it back.A sage, even if he gets the best orchids, he still cares about the sincerity of those who give them to him.Fang Qirui had a premonition that the saint would be angry no matter who the potted flower the princess took was given to him, unless she kept it for himself.

An hour later, the investigators came back to report that the princess had given the flowers to Cui Qingji.

Fang Qirui's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to observe Li Shimin's expression, his face had turned black from blue.

At the moment, people from Si Tiantai came to avoid him and asked for an audience.

Li Shimin suddenly scolded: "No see."

Fang Qirui silently agreed, and went down to spread the word.

……

Der Spiegel.

Cheng Chubi wandered outside the courtyard for several times, and finally felt that he was sorry for the princess by hiding this matter, so he decided to go to Li Mingda and report to Li Mingda just now about the saint's inquiring about who to send the orchid to.

"The subordinates are afraid of delaying your lord's important affairs, after much deliberation, they still want to tell your lord."

"Do you know that you are violating the sacred order?" Li Mingda looked at Cheng Chubi inquiringly.

Cheng Chubi nodded guiltily, and knelt down to apologize to Li Mingda, "I violated the holy order, and I didn't want to betray my lord. It's always difficult to have both. I can only choose the most important one and do it from the heart."

Li Mingda laughed, "I am naturally happy that you are loyal to me, but I am afraid of bringing you a burden. If you want any news from the saint, you can just give it, and I have nothing to shame you. If you don't want to tell me, I won't blame you."

Hearing that the princess was so considerate, Cheng Chubi became more determined to follow her, kowtowed and saluted, and repeatedly assured that he would be loyal to Li Mingda in the future.

Li Mingda thanked Cheng Chubi, asked him to get up, then smiled and asked how his sister was doing.

"Your lord Hong Fu, after recovering from her illness, is lively and cheerful, naughty all day long. I saw her doing nothing all day long, so I hired a female teacher to teach her at home." Cheng Chubi said.

"You are always by my side, and you seldom have the opportunity to go back. She is not interested in studying alone at home, and she will be bored if she doesn't see you for a few days. I just have something to ask you, you have to You can send a message home and ask the elders to see if they have the heart." Li Mingda then told Cheng Chubi that he was selected to accompany Princess Hengshan this autumn.

When Cheng Chubi heard that it was an opportunity, he quickly thanked Li Mingda, "Your subordinate will go back today, so I will write home and ask, my sister has a hundred willingness."

"But it's not necessarily true. There are many rules in the palace, but my sister is an easy-going person. You can rest assured about that." Not long after Li Mingda sent Cheng Chubi away, he got news from the palace that the sage had sent Si The people on the rooftop were sent away.

Li Mingda calmed down a little bit, and felt that Wei Shuyu's idea was the best. If it was self-defeating and an imperial decree came down, the water thrown out would not be able to be recovered.

Not long after, Wei Shuyu came to report and reported the list of all the missing persons in Chang'an City during his investigation in the past three years.

Li Mingda rummaged through the list compiled by Wei Shuyu, and shook his head, "Behind the name of each missing person, briefly summarize the reason for the disappearance in one sentence, and then write down the approximate location of the disappearance. Reorganize it like this, and then give it to me .”

Wei Shuyu was stunned for a moment, and then apologized, "That's right, according to your lord's instructions, it will be clear at a glance."

After Wei Shuyu finished speaking, he resigned and continued to work.

Seeing that Wei Shuyu had gone far away, Tian Hanxi couldn't help feeling: "This person is different from other people. If Fang Shizi does this kind of thing, he must be able to figure it out without telling him."

Li Mingda glared at him, "Don't say such things outside, how can everyone be the same."

After Li Mingda finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then he looked at the list of missing children. Considering that there was a child among the bones, Li Mingda wanted to see if there were any clues in it, but found that the missing child in Chang'an City There are so many things, there have been nearly a hundred in three years, and without more evidence, I am afraid that there is no way to screen out anything from them.

"This case is difficult to handle. The body has nothing but bones, and it was thrown into the water, so even if there are some tiny clues left on the bones, they have been diluted by the water in the pond. It is really difficult to investigate." Li Mingda sighed. .

"The case that your lord committed a difficult case, if it is in someone else's hands, I'm afraid they won't even be able to investigate it. So, these bones are lucky. It's really their blessing to meet your lord to avenge their grievances and find the murderer." Tian Han wrote his way.

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and felt that the words were a bit familiar, she looked at Tian Hanshan with a funny face, "You can do it, you have learned to be afraid of horses like me."

Tian Hanshu scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, "Oh, I was just being lazy, and I was discovered by your lord."

Li Mingda couldn't stop laughing, she knew that Tian Hanshan was making fun of it on purpose to make herself laugh.The wonderful thing is that she knew his purpose, but she would be amused by Tian Hanshan's actions.

"I reward you with a jade pendant." Li Mingda immediately pulled one out of his sleeve and handed it to Tian Hanshan.

Tian Hanshu saw that it was a high-quality sheep fat jade, he liked it very much, and he didn't refuse it, and thanked him while accepting it.

Footsteps came from outside the house, Li Mingda also smelled Su Hexiang on Cui Qingji's body, and knew that he was back.Li Mingda glanced at Tian Hanshan, Tian Hanshan immediately understood, put away the jade pendant, and went out to have a look, and he saw Cui Qingji.When Cui Qingji saw Tian Hanshan, he stopped immediately and walked towards him with a smile.Tian Hanshan sighed in his heart that his princess's ears are so good, while politely smiling and bowing to Cui Qingji.

"Master Cui is back from investigating the case? Do you have any clues?" Tian Hanshan asked.

Cui Qingji nodded, "I found out that someone has been to this house, but I still don't know who it is. I want to wait until I find the person, and then I will report to your lord carefully."

Tian Hanshu nodded, "That's fine, I'll report back for you and the princess first, you should check it out quickly."

Cui Qingji saluted, then turned back to the house, he came out in a hurry after a while, and called Tian Hanshan to stop him.

Tian Hanxi looked at him puzzled: "The pot of orchids in my room?"

"Ah, Princess Ailan, you know it too, so I gave each of you a pot of orchids. I raised them myself. After all, they are considered things in the palace. Don't dislike them." Tian Han said.

Cui Qingji was startled, "Everyone has it?"

"Yes, everyone has them, you, Fang Shizi, Wei Shizi, Master Yuchi, and Xiao Erlang." Tian Hanshan emphasized one by one.

After Cui Qingji heard what Tian Hanshan said, he showed a clear expression, he immediately cupped his hands, and said politely: "Then I have to trouble Eunuch Tian to thank your lord for me."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'll definitely bring it to you."

Tian Hanshan went back immediately, and as soon as he entered the house and looked at his princess' expression, he knew that the princess had heard everything clearly just now.So he didn't say much, just stood beside the princess and watched her do things.

An hour later, Li Ming arrived at Zuo Qingmei's mortuary.Zuo Qingmei was going to open up the rotting corpse today, so Li Mingda was there to see if there were any clues.

While Zuo Qingmei was working on the corpse, Li Mingda used two long bamboo chopsticks to flip through the clothes that had been taken off from the corpse.

Also because of being soaked in water for too long, Li Mingda smelled nothing but corrosion, pool water and mud.But judging from the clothes of the corpse, it was known that this person was a wealthy person, and the clothes were silk and satin, dark blue.Li Mingda picked up his belt again, but didn't see anything else, and turned to look at the corpse's loose hair and two pairs of bare hands.

"Strange, if you are wealthy, why don't you even wear any valuables?" Li Mingda pondered.

"It was time to be thrown into the pond, and all the valuable things on her body were taken away." Zuo Qingmei speculated.

Tian Hanshu hurriedly said, "Could it be that he is asking for money to rob and kill?"

"If you are a wealthy family, you will always bring a follower with you when you go out, but he is the only carrion corpse in the pond, and there is no one else." Li Mingda said.

"It's very likely that he didn't bring his followers, or that his followers ran away in fright, or he was also killed, but his body was thrown elsewhere. However, I think the possibility of the latter two is unlikely." Zuo Qingmei said.

"You're right. People are already dead. If you discard the corpses, there's no need to throw them in two places. If the attendants ran away, they would have reported the crime a long time ago, so it's unlikely." Li Mingda sighed, "It's very likely The place of origin is here, he came here alone to meet someone, and was killed in the end. Since he came here intentionally and alone, it should not be called abstinence from killing, it is an acquaintance who committed the crime."

Zuo Qingmei nodded, "The killing method of the hand is too special, something is directly inserted into the chest, piercing the whole body. If this method is used when the other party is awake and able to resist, it is actually not easy to succeed. People killed people, or they used some means to control the other party, unable to resist, and then used this method to kill the victim. The sandbag that sank with this corpse was a bit special. After I poured out the sand inside , found that there are many such things.”

Zuo Xiumei covered the body with a white cloth, washed her hands, and showed Li Mingda the dish on the table.

Li Ming noticed the plate when he brought it into the room, and wondered what was on it. He thought it was some auxiliary things that Zuo Qingmei needed during the autopsy, so he didn't investigate carefully.

Inside the saucer were some inch-long things, very thin, black, and if you look closely, they should be wooden, like canes that have been cut very short, and you can see that there is a protruding knot on each.

"This thing looks familiar, but I can't remember what it is for a while."

"The one soaked in water has turned black and is about to rot, so it might not be this color." Zuo Qingmei reminded.

Li Mingda nodded, imagining its original color.

Yuchi Baoqi heard that there was an autopsy here, so she came here on her own initiative. After greeting Li Mingda, he smiled and expressed his desire to learn and exercise.

Li Mingda saw that Yuchi Baoqi looked as usual today, with a bright smile, and thought that he had put down yesterday's matter.

Li Mingda saw that he was still looking at the corpse, smiled and praised him for being amazing, he was able to face his fears and overcome his shortcomings.

When Yuchi Baoqi heard Li Mingda's praise, she was overjoyed, but she smiled shyly on her face, and thanked Li Mingda hurriedly, politely.

Then, Yuchi Baoqi listened carefully to Li Mingda and Zuo Qingmei's analysis of what the tiny black wood stem was.

Yuchi Baoqi looked at it seriously, and then looked at the slightly protruding part of the cane, thinking deeply.

"What was growing on it? Branches and leaves or flowers?"

When mentioning flowers, Li Mingda shivered, then opened his eyes wide, looking at Yuchi Baoqi in surprise.

The lawyer confirmed his identity, and he stuttered and asked Li Mingda nervously: "Princess...what's the matter? Did Baoqi accidentally say the wrong thing just now? Baoqi is a little stupid in reading clues. Please forgive me, princess."

After Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, he saluted Li Mingda and apologized.

"No, what you just said just reminded me, no wonder these things look familiar to me, they should be winter jasmine stems." After Li Mingda said, his face was full of surprise.

"Winter jasmine?" Yuchi Baoqi was also surprised, thinking of the plum blossom case some time ago.Think about the winter jasmine vines at that time, and look at the ones in this dish, it seems that they are really similar.

Zuo Qingmei heard the words and immediately ordered her subordinates to go to the garden to find a branch, and bring it over for comparison.

After a while, the maid brought up a jasmine vine that she had found.The winter jasmine has already thanked.After Zuo Qingmei picked it up, she picked off all the leaves on it. After such a comparison, it was immediately obvious that it was very imaginative.Then use scissors to cut it into the same length as before, and then you can fully confirm that it is the stem of the winter jasmine.

"The deceased died two months ago, when the winter jasmine blooms." Li Mingfa said.

Yuchi Baoqi's eyes widened, she was so surprised that she couldn't be more surprised, "Could it be that this corpse is related to the case of Meihua Temple?"

"A man has hair, and this silk is a white jade silk worn by dignitaries. His status must be rich, he can't be a nun, and he can't be a Taoist priest. How could it be related?" Zuo Qingmei asked puzzled.

"But it's hard to say, it's too coincidental to associate the winter jasmine with the dead," Yuchi Baoqi said.

"I remember the case of Plum Blossom Temple. The reason why the winter jasmine was entangled with the three teachers was because Hui Ning had a kind of 'compassion' for the dead. Master can have a good life in his next life." Li Mingda recalled, "Then maybe the murderer happened to know Hui Ning, or, like Hui Ning, he knew the meaning of winter jasmine from somewhere, so he also used this flower and The dead are connected."

Zuo Qingmei nodded, agreeing with Li Mingda's statement.Then he said regretfully, "I only regret that the body was discovered too late. Hui Ning An Ning and other nuns have already been executed, and we have no way to get clues from them."

Li Mingda sighed, "It's a clue anyway, no matter whether our deduction is correct or not, it's better to check first than to wait and not know anything."

Li Mingda then asked Zuo Qingmei what she thought about the way of death of the rotting corpses and those bones.

"The method of killing is different. One is straightforward, and ferociously feeds the corpse to the beasts, leaving only the bones thrown into the pond. The other pokes a hole in the chest, and the punishment is complicated. When the corpse is discarded, it will use winter jasmine to symbolize a new start. Whether Can you be sure that the murderers of the two are different people?" Zuo Qingmei said

Li Mingda nodded, "I also think that they should be two completely different people. The former is ferocious and brutal, and takes pleasure in killing. The latter, with grotesque methods, should have his own inheritance. Let's regard this as There are two cases, let's investigate separately."

Yuchi Baoqi opened his mouth in surprise, usually he would have exclaimed a few times, but this time he forcibly endured it.I kept warning myself in my heart, to be more prudent and wiser, so that your lord will look at him differently.

"The bones in the lotus pond were almost dug up. I only found ten small bones in the whole day, which were not of much use." Yuchi Baoqi reported the situation on his side.

Li Mingda looked at him: "Don't underestimate what you did, there are no clues right now, the pond is the key to finding evidence, good or bad depends entirely on you." Li Mingda said, and then led Yuchi Baoqi to look at the covered tomb Bai Bu's body, except for the hair, only showed a pair of feet.

"Do you see it?"

"Ah?" Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the corpse in puzzlement, and then at Li Mingda.

"He's missing a pair of shoes." Li Mingda said.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed to Li Mingda, expressing that he would definitely urge his subordinates to dig the pond and find as many clues as possible.

"I see that after you became an official, you are much more prudent in doing things than before. Work hard, and I will wait for your good news." Li Mingda encouraged.

Yuchi Baoqi puffed out her chest, reassured her again and again, and then walked away with great strength and confidence.

After Zuo Qingmei washed her hands, she moved to Li Mingda's side, tilted her head slightly to look at Yuchi Baoqi who was leaving, and frowned puzzledly. "Is he bewitched? Why do I feel that his temper has become so strange?"

Zuo Qingmei always likes to hit the nail on the head when she speaks, so Li Mingda didn't find it strange that she described Yuchi Baoqi like this.

"Is there?" Li Mingda asked, seeing Zuo Qingmei nodded, "Maybe she is an official, so she dare not be as self-willed as before."

"What's wrong with his hand?" Zuo Qingmei stared at Yuchi Baoqi's half-hidden hand in his sleeve, and suddenly asked again.

Only then did Li Mingda notice Yuchi Baoqi's hand, "It seems to be injured."

Li Mingda thought for a while, and sent Tian Hanshan to ask.

After a while, Tian Hanshu came back and told, "I was playing with a knife yesterday, I was taken aback, and accidentally cut it."

Li Mingda didn't take it seriously, nodded, and sent Tian Hanxi to give him some medicine.

Zuo Qingmei couldn't help but said: "But have you seen the doctor, if the wound is not treated in time, if you just apply medicine casually, it will easily grow bad."

Li Mingda heard this, and said to Zuo Qingmei: "That's right, you are a doctor, so go and have a look, so as not to be careless. His family is not in Chang'an, he is here alone, we can't take care of him, and I'm sorry Her father."

Zuo Qingmei agreed, and went.

Tian Hanshan closely followed Zuo Qingmei who was leaving, then blinked and thought for a while.This move happened to be noticed by Li Mingda, who asked him why with a smile.

"Did your lord find out? Zuo Shanggong seems to be very concerned about Yuchi Erlang. She is cold-tempered. In the past, no matter what happened to anyone, as long as it had nothing to do with her, she would never ask. If something happens, her eyes will always send it over."

"Is there—?" Li Mingda was surprised, recalled it, and found that there was no relevant memory, and she hadn't paid attention to it at all.

"Of course." Tian Hanshan nodded firmly, then shrugged his shoulders and signaled Li Mingda, "Then your lord saw it just now, and Zuo Shanggong is concerned about Mr. Yuchi's wound."

"Ah, yes." Li Mingda nodded, as if realizing something.But thinking about Zuo Qingmei's age, she is almost ten years younger than Yuchi Baoqi, it should be just because of eye-catching, because the elders care about the younger generation.

Tian Hanshan's eyebrows were beaming, anyway, Zuo Shanggong is now like a cannibal, which makes people look kinder.

"Okay, don't exaggerate things, go to Jingzhao Mansion quickly, and ask me for a testimony." Li Mingda instructed.

Tian Hanshan immediately took the order, so he rode his horse and went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for the testimony of Hui Ning and other nuns.

Li Mingda was standing by the window watering the flowers with a kettle in his hand, and looked up by the way, as if he was waiting for someone.

Cui Qingji came over afterward, and was about to leave through the door, but turned to see your lord by the window, and reminded with a gentle smile, "If you continue to water like this, the flowers will die."

Li Mingda came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his hands, put the kettle on the window sill, and looked at Cui Qingji suspiciously, "Are you all right?"

"Well, everything has been arranged, and I'm free right now, so I want to come to your lord to see if there is anything else I can help. But I see that your lord is more leisurely than me, so I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help. " Cui Qingji smiled politely.

"Since we're all idle, how about we talk?" Li Mingda stared, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Cui Qingji.

Cui Qingji was stunned for a moment, then his brows and eyes were filled with smiles again, and he nodded slightly to salute Li Mingda, naturally obeying his orders respectfully.

After taking his seat, Li Mingda saw that he was drinking tea again, so he asked him directly: "Who did you learn how to drink tea from?"

"Your lord doesn't know? This has long been popular among the disciples in Chang'an City. Qingji is just following the trend. But I heard that this method of drinking tea was first started by Fang Shizi. What is his status among the disciples? The Lord must be clear. Whatever he does will naturally be regarded as elegant, and it is easy to be imitated. As more people learn from him, he will gradually become popular." Cui Qingji secretly praised Fang Yizhi without hesitation, only saying that he is a Just follow Fang Yizhi's layman.

Li Mingda smiled, looked at Cui Qingji with another eye, and his heart tightened slightly.What Cui Qingji said was definitely not a simple boast of Fang Yizhi, he must have guessed what he was going to say to him, so he moved Fang Yizhi out first.Is it a warning to her?In order to tell her, he already knew that she was in love with Fang Yizhi?

Li Mingdazi thought about it quickly in his heart for a moment, but still felt that there were some things that had to be clarified.Ambiguous, will not be good for anyone in the future.No matter how Cui Qingji reacted, at least she should know what attitude she should take towards Cui Qingji in the future.

"The Der Spiegel Department originally only arranged for you, but then the saint suddenly sent so many people here. Do you know why?"

Cui Qingji nodded slightly, "Probably guessed some."

"Then what do you think?" Li Mingda asked.

Cui Qingji raised her head, and the corner of her mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, "Thinking that your lord is really different, she is an extremely intelligent woman, and your lord dares to think and do what other women dare not do, and even a saint It's all hidden."

Li Mingda stared at Cui Qingji, not showing it on the surface, but he was already surprised in his heart.Cui Qingji's words hinted at such a point, Li Mingda would be a fool if he didn't comprehend it.It turned out that Cui Qingji already knew that she was playing tricks, and pretended to have a good relationship with him, deliberately trying to annoy the saint.

He knew, but remained silent.

Li Mingda frowned, realizing that he really couldn't figure out what Cui Qingji was thinking.During this period of time in the Department of Mirrors, Li Mingda listened to all directions, but did not hear any inappropriate words from Cui Qingji.It is said that he is an upright person, but many times he is very secretive. It is said that he is deeply attacking the city, but he has not done anything bad.

Li Mingda knew very well that she couldn't be too emotional when facing such a person, and just asked him: "And then?"

"There is nothing after that. Although I feel sad in my heart, but after thinking about it, I still have something that can be used by your lord, which is gratifying. At least Qingji is not a useless person in the eyes of the princess." Cui Qingji paused. Suddenly, his eyes drooped and he seemed a little lonely, "I really miss the days when I was 'treated differently' by your lord, and I even thought that if it was like this every day, even if I knew it was a dream, Qingji would be willing to immerse myself in it rather than wake up. Yes. But now your lord's method is probably effective, and there are more people from Ming Jing, and after today's pot of orchids, Qing Ji may not even have the chance to see the princess again in the future."

Li Mingda looked at Cui Qingji silently, without speaking.

Cui Qingji also smiled and remained silent, quietly drank the tea in the cup, drank it up, got up, saluted Li Mingda, and told him about the investigation of the case, he had explained to him in detail what he needed to do in the future. The clerk of the Der Spiegel Department.

"I'm afraid they won't remember it, so I wrote a copy and put it on the desk in my room, so that if someone doesn't understand something later, no one can ask."

"What do you mean by that? No one wants you to leave yet." Li Mingda frowned.

"Prepare for a rainy day. It's best if you don't leave. If you really leave, you won't be caught off guard and unprepared. It doesn't matter if Qingji leaves. The most important thing is not to delay the investigation." Cui Qingji confessed.

After Li Mingda heard these words, his eyes became darker.

"However, if Qingji really leaves, please be more accommodating, your lord." Cui Qingji begged. .

Li Mingda turned his eyes and stared at Cui Qingji closely, telling him to say if he had any request, but she was curious about what his so-called parting request was.

"Can you take away the pot of orchids that your lord sent today?"

Li Mingda was stunned, and then looked at Cui Qingji, his eyes met his.

Li Mingda blinked, "Whether you leave or stay, that pot of orchids is yours, and you can dispose of it as you like."

Hearing this, Cui Qingji showed a happy smile, and hurriedly saluted and thanked, "This is the best gift Qingji has ever received, and it is also the most beautiful orchid I have ever seen in my life. Qingji will definitely take good care of it."

Li Mingda averted his gaze, and brought the tea to his mouth.

"From now on, if your lord needs Qingji for anything, he will be smashed to pieces, and he will not hesitate to do so." Cui Qingji immediately offered Li Mingda a gift, and then he wanted to leave, not wanting to disturb him any more.

After observing his behavior suspiciously, Li Mingda nodded and let him go.Then Li Mingda pondered for a while, then put down the teacup in his hand heavily.

Tian Hanshan came back at this time, and after presenting the testimony with a smile, he saw the princess staring at the table in a daze, not intending to read it.Tian Hanxi was very puzzled, and when he wanted to ask why, Biyun pulled him aside, beckoning him in a low voice to keep quiet.Biyun immediately informed Tian Hanshan of the conversation between Cui Qingji and your lord just now.

Tian Hanshu sniffled, then wiped his eyes with his hand, "This Cui Liulang's words are very touching."

Li Mingda blinked and looked at Tian Hanshan.

The two bowed their heads hurriedly, apologizing to the princess again and again.

Li Mingda reached out to pick up the testimony on the table, read it carefully, and quickly forgot his previous worries.

Not long after, the eunuch came to the palace and announced the imperial decree that Cui Qingji was transferred to the Ministry of Industry for training and took office immediately.

When Cui Qingji thanked Li Mingda for accepting the imperial decree, he turned around and saluted Li Mingda farewell. Before leaving, the moment he looked at Li Mingda, there was a flash of "it's not surprising" in his eyes.

Yuchi Baoqi and Wei Shuyu also came to see him off.Both of them were surprised that the plan to exclude Cui Qingji hadn't been fully implemented yet, and they left first.But happy to be happy, after all, the two are people who know how to be polite, and they didn't show too much in front of Cui Qingji. They still sent him off very politely, and politely invited him to come to the Department of Mirrors when he had time.

Cui Qingji also returned the courtesy to the two of them, and after a while, his entourage packed up the things.Cui Qingji personally held a pot of orchids, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he got into the carriage and went straight to the Ministry of Industry.

Yuchi Baoqi breathed a sigh of relief after waving goodbye.

Wei Shuyu was puzzled, "Why does he hold a pot of orchids, and they don't grow very well. See, he is also an ignorant person."

Li Mingda turned around and went back to the house.

Soon after, Fang Yizhi came on horseback, and when he heard that the sage had transferred Cui Qingji away, Fang Yizhi hurried to see Li Mingda.

"Who thought of this idea?" Fang Yi immediately asked after entering the door.

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, then realized what Fang Yi was pointing at, smiled, and told him that it was Wei Shuyu's idea, "It's a bit of a bad idea, but it works."

"Then have you ever thought about how the saint will react if he finds out that you are cheating him?"

"How could he know?" Li Mingda said so, but his heart also became agitated.

"Why can't the sage not notice what Cui Qingji can notice?" Fang Yi stared at Li Mingda, his eyes were full of tenderness, but he couldn't hide his helplessness.Immediately he smiled and sighed that it was nothing serious, there was no trouble that could not be solved.

"Is there really trouble?" Li Mingda thought for a while, if this matter was all kinds of possibilities after the saint was known, she got up uneasy and said, "I'll go back to the palace immediately."
