Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Your lord, the Wa Kingdom came to make Sanjiro Inagaki dead." Tian Hanshan whispered in Li Mingda's ear.When he spoke, his lips were still trembling, and his expression of fear did not retreat, which showed how horrible the scene he had just seen.

Li Mingda didn't show any concern, but kept smiling, and sent the maid to bring Li Hui'an into the house for the time being.

Li Hui'an didn't want to leave, so she pulled Li Mingda's sleeve, and looked at her with watery eyes: "Sister Nineteen said she would play with me, why didn't she want to after a while?"

"Yes, wait for me to go back to the palace, and play with us in Hui'an, but I'm afraid the Changsun Mansion is not working right now, something happened there. You go into the house, and I will accompany you in a while." Li Mingda smiled and patted Li Huian's head, sent the maid to take her away.

Although Li Hui'an was dissatisfied, she couldn't help it. She pouted and walked away, but she turned back after walking a few steps, stretched out her hand to hook Li Mingda, and wanted her for a while.

"Okay, let's go, I promise it will be a while." Li Mingda said after hooking her.

Only then did Li Hui'an let the grand lady lead him away.But every few steps she took, she would look back at Li Mingda reluctantly. Seeing Li Mingda standing there smiling and watching her off, she happily followed the maid.

Seeing Princess 21's cute appearance, Tian Hanxuan forgot his previous fear, "Princess 21 is very attached to your lord."

"Sisters of the same mother are naturally closer." Li Mingda sighed, "I have grown a lot taller, and she has reached the age of canonization this year."

"Princess 21 has also grown up." Tian Hanshan said with a smile.

"How do people die?" Li Mingda changed the topic.

"It seems to be poisoned. When I went to look at it, my lips were already purple and my orifices were bleeding. The servants panicked and called for a doctor." Tian Hanshan recalled fearfully.

Li Mingda thought for a while, then said to Tian Han: "Prepare the car, Changsun's mansion can't stay anymore, we will leave now."

"Leave? At this time?" Tian Hanshan was a little puzzled.

Li Mingda glanced at him, "Go quickly."

Tian Hanxi hurriedly apologized, slapped himself, blamed himself for talking too much, and then went to make arrangements.

Li Mingda went into the room and pulled Li Huian, and then wanted to say goodbye to Li Lizhi.Li Lizhi was still asleep at this time, Li Mingda didn't want to disturb her rest, so he asked his maidservant to speak a few words for her.She then took Li Hui'an and left Changsun Mansion by car.

When Changsun Wuji was called over, he was also taken aback when he saw Sanjiro Inagaki's death.Then he questioned the testimony of the attendants at that time, and he finally figured out what happened in the stammering descriptions of the people.

Changsun Wuji's mind suddenly buzzed, and he immediately forced himself to calm down.

He looked around and couldn't see the figure of Nizi, and hurriedly asked people where he had been, and everyone shook their heads.Changsun Wuji was furious and asked someone to find him quickly.

Not long after the voice on this side fell, there was news from the other side.Hundreds of Wa kingdoms went to the gate of their Changsun's mansion to demonstrate, wanting to ask for an explanation for their deputy envoy.The people from the Changsun Mansion could no longer go out, and every one who went out was besieged by them.

"They also said that their envoy had already gone to Tai Chi Palace, asking the saint to judge and give him justice."

Changsun Wuji gritted his molars, knowing how difficult this matter was.When Changsun Wuji was hesitating whether to confront the Wa people directly, another servant came to report, and more Wa people came at the door, not only demanding that the Changsun Mansion hand over the murderer, but also surrounding the front and rear doors of the Changsun Mansion , Many people heard the news and came to watch, talking about it.

With the strength of the Changsun Mansion, it is easy to confront the hundreds of Japanese people in the area, but I am afraid that once the two sides face each other with swords, the matter will become more difficult to understand.

"Father, we can't let the Wa people take the lead in this matter. We need to send someone to the palace to report and explain. In any case, I don't believe that the second brother can do the stupid thing of killing people on the spot." Changsun Chong said .

Changsun Wuji nodded, then suddenly remembered, "Are the two princesses still there?"

At this time, the servant girl who hadn't dared to come forward to reply came to tell Changsun Wuji that after the incident, Princess Jinyang had left through the back door with Princess 21.

Chang Sun Chong was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Changsun Wuji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "As expected of my good niece, with her coming back to the palace to help speak, I can feel relieved."

……

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Mingda went back to the palace one step before the Japanese envoys, and passed the news to Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin didn't know the details of what happened, he also knew how troublesome it was for the deputy envoy of the Wa Kingdom to die in the eldest grandson's family.Li Shimin is naturally not afraid of more than a hundred people from the Wa Kingdom.He can move his mouth at will and wipe out all people.But killing people is simple, and the teacher is unknown, which will inevitably damage the reputation of the great country.Li Shimin then negotiated with the envoy, with a strong attitude but not intimidating. Apart from promising to find out the facts and punish the murderer, and temporarily prohibiting everyone in the Changsun Mansion from going out, Li Shimin did not make any concessions.

Because the Japanese envoy was afraid of the majesty of the Tang emperor, he had no choice but to agree to this.However, because he was worried that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would cover up his own people and fool them to close the case, he proposed that someone from the mission must investigate with the officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin promised, "My Datang is open and aboveboard, so naturally I won't fool you at will. As long as you don't interfere with the case, you can send as many people as you like."

The Japanese envoy thanked Li Shimin, "Your Majesty promises everything, and we are willing to believe in His Majesty's promise, so we don't want to send more people, just one person is enough, and that is our Onmyoji Ashiya Yinjing.

This person is young and stable, knowledgeable and talented, and is very proficient in Xia Yan, and also has a little understanding of Tang poetry.Sending him out will neither add trouble to your country's investigation, but also convince all of us in the mission to the results of the investigation. "

Li Shimin agreed.

After the Japanese envoys left, Li Shimin ordered people to immediately investigate what happened in the Changsun Mansion.

"Aye, why don't you call that onmyoji?" Li Mingda was standing by Li Shimin's side to accompany him just now when the Wa Kingdom envoy had an audience, so he reminded him slightly.

Li Shimin nodded, he almost forgot.But treat people with sincerity, and people will be convinced.As soon as he agreed to investigate together, he turned around and sent someone to the Changsun Mansion to investigate and inquire about the process, which would definitely arouse people's suspicions, so he immediately ordered the Minister of Criminal Affairs Li Daozong and the Japanese Onmyoji Ashiya Yuanjing to jointly solve the case.

Due to the participation of more parties, the investigation is bound to be slower.After nearly two hours, Li Daozong came to see him.There was also a young man who came with him. He was thin and about [-] years old. He looked delicate, but his face was a little paler, which seemed to be caused by not being exposed to the sun for a long time.

"The envoy Ashiyain has seen His Majesty the Tang Dynasty." Ashiyain bowed on his knees.

Li Shimin thought that his behavior was not out of line, but it was okay, so he exempted him from the courtesy, and then asked Li Daozong to investigate the situation.

"When the poison broke out, Dao Yuan San San Lang was drinking with Chang Sun Huan. The food came from the Chang Sun Mansion, and so was the wine. The most troublesome thing... was the glass of wine that poisoned Dao Yuan San San Lang. I specially ordered someone to give it to Sanjiro Daoyuan."

"Did Sun Huan, the wine chief, also pour it into the cup?" Li Shimin asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, no. The green plum wine was taken, and it was only given to San Sanlang Daoyuan to drink, and Changsun Huan did not move." Li Daozong replied taking advantage of his voice.

Li Shimin frowned, the suspicion of the elder Sun Huan was too obvious.Even if Li Shimin wanted to excuse him, his nephew, he couldn't do anything, "But this matter is a bit strange. Changsun Huan and Dao Yuan San San Lang have no grievances or enmity, so why do you want to kill him? It's hard to say that someone deliberately framed him."

Ashiya Yard quietly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is a frame-up. This matter happened in the Changsun Mansion. From the cook who cooks to the servants who serve the food and wine, they are all from the Changsun Mansion, and the Changsun Mansion cannot escape responsibility."

Li Shimin and Li Daozong looked at each other, they naturally knew what Ashiya Yuanjing said.

"One more thing," Li Daozong looked at Ashiya Yard Jing, and said in a little embarrassment, "Changsun Huan has disappeared since the incident happened, and he has not been found so far."

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, only to feel that his brain hurts.His nephew was really embarrassing to him.

"Search and arrest in the whole city, immediately arrest anyone you see, but remember to keep them alive."

Li Daozong took the order, and then he and Ashiya Yuanjing retired together.

After the two of them left the Qianhua Gate, Ashiya hurriedly asked Li Daozong to stop, "Some words are slightly offensive, but I can't help but want to ask, who is that beautiful girl standing beside His Majesty just now?"

Li Daozong: "It's Princess Jinyang."

Ashiya Yuanjing nodded suddenly, then gave Li Daozong a thumbs up, praising Princess Jinyang for her dignified manner, which is extraordinary.

"That's natural. How could the pattern of our Majesty's personal raising be the same." Li Daozong said proudly.

Ashiya Yard nodded and nodded, then turned away and forgot to glance at the direction of the Lizheng Palace. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked Li Daozong: "Then after your country catches the murderer who killed the deputy envoy, will he be executed immediately?"

Li Daozong was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer, he only said that people would ask for instructions if they got it.

Shizuya Ashiya was slightly dissatisfied.

The two were speechless to each other, and then they left the palace one after the other.

Li Mingda stood near the Lizheng Gate for a while, then returned to his room.

The second cousin really caused a lot of trouble this time. Although the Japanese side was afraid of the national power of the Tang Dynasty, they would not be so cowardly as to see their deputy envoy die in vain.

Hearing the meaning of Ashiya-in's quiet words just now, it seems that he is eager to punish the murderer.If her second cousin was really punished for committing a crime, Li Mingda would not speak for him.I am afraid that he will be wronged, die in vain, and allow some people to achieve their goals.No matter how anxious Li Mingda is now, it is useless, this is the court's business, and she cannot intervene.Now I only hope that Li Daozong can see through the details and clear the suspicion of Changsun Huan.

"My lord, I just received the news that Yu Feng went to the East Palace."

Yu Feng, the internal servant who promoted Qi Changshi at the beginning, actually has something to do with the East Palace.

Li Mingda frowned, she didn't expect this, she was really surprised.

On the second day, Li Mingda went to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess Su Shi.

Su Shi occasionally caught a cold and had just recovered.Li Mingda just came here on the pretext of visiting a sick person, and greeted him a lot.

Su thanked her with a smile, and ordered people to prepare a lot of food and wine for Li Mingda.

After lunch, Li Mingda persuaded Mrs. Su to go out for a walk, so that he can enjoy himself physically and mentally, so the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went to the East Palace Garden for a stroll.Not long after, Li Mingda's eyes were attracted by a few cactuses planted in the east corner of the garden.

Coincidentally, the thorns of these cactus are all white and translucent, and they fit with the one on the lotus handkerchief.
