Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Mingda deliberately took two breaths, clearly confirming that the fragrance on Su's body is different from that on the lotus handkerchief.And on the day of the Shangsi Festival, Su Shi stayed in the East Palace all the time, and did not go with them for an outing, it should not be her.

Seeing that Li Mingda was in a daze, Mrs. Su smiled and asked her what was wrong.

"It's nothing, just look at these cactus growing well. Did my sister-in-law pay attention to the cactus over the West Sea? The thorns are all black, not as good-looking as this one." Li Mingda walked into the cactus as he said, and after looking around, Sure enough, I saw a broken thorn on one of the cactus. Looking at the remaining length, and comparing it with the complete thorn on the side, the missing part seemed to match the one on the lotus handkerchief.

Li Mingda squatted in front of the broken thorn cactus, and then glanced at Tian Hanshan.Tian Hanshan nodded slightly to show his understanding, and after a while he quietly pulled out the broken thorn.

At this time, Mrs. Su also came over, and said with a smile: "After what you said, I know that I am a very good person in charge of the garden. I asked him to tell me how to raise it, and I also raised the cactus on the side of the Xihai Pool. prettier."

"Sister-in-law has a good heart." Li Mingda stood up with a smile, and continued to visit the garden with Su Shi.During the small talk, by the way, she inquired euphemistically how many people had visited her East Palace Garden in the past few days.

"There is no one, except for the last time I celebrated my birthday, you all came to celebrate my birthday, and I have never seen anyone. You are the first one I saw after I was ill, my good sister, and you are the one who cares most about sister-in-law When you fell off the cliff, I didn't go to see you because I was afraid of getting sick because of the fever. But today I want you to come in person, I am really sorry." Su held Li Mingda's hand with both hands, with a warm smile, Eyes full of apology.

Li Mingda knew this sister-in-law well, she was gentle and calm, and didn't like to compete for the first place.A few days ago, people outside knew that she had recovered from illness, and I don't know how many times they came to visit her. Because of the entertainment, her face hurt from laughing.

However, none of the people who visited her had the same smell as the lotus handkerchief.

Li Mingda even wondered whether this square handkerchief might be used by some noble lady, but after thinking about it, it was impossible. Ling Yusha's share is limited, and it is a royal tribute, even if it is not used, it cannot be rewarded against the system servant.

After Mrs. Su returned to his room, Li Mingda smiled and sighed that Mrs. Su's incense smelled good, and learned that Mrs. Su's incense had been used for three years without changing it, and it was definitely not Mrs. Su's.

Su's Xilanhua, there is a mahogany flower stand near the window in the southeast of the dormitory, and several pots are placed.On the left and right sides of the flower stand, two tall tables are placed against the wall, and a pair of large porcelain vases with white butterflies flying are placed on them.

Li Mingda saw that the orchids were growing well, and he knew that it took a lot of effort to raise them, so he walked over to admire them, and he didn't want to smell a very faint familiar smell when he got closer.

Li Mingda secretly took a deep breath, the taste...is the same as a lotus handkerchief!

Following the smell, Li Mingda found the large porcelain vase on the right, probed inside and found something inside.

"This is?"

Su Shi also looked at it, and then asked the servant girl to pick out the contents with a stick.

It's a pink cloak.

Li Mingda took it over and confirmed once again that the smell is indeed from it.

"Is this sister-in-law's?" Li Mingda asked.

Su smiled, "How old am I, how can I use this color. Oh, I remembered, the last time Hui'an came to play, I lost a piece of silk when I left, and the palace people couldn't find it. Here it is. Look at this girl, she is really forgetful. Bai Lu, send her there quickly."

"I'll come." Li Mingda said.

Su Shi nodded without any objection.

Li Mingda looked down at Pibo, thoughtful.She clearly remembered that the first time she saw Hui'an after she woke up from the cliff, the incense on her body was not like this.Is it just a change of fragrance?

……

Just after the end of time, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace.

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Mingda was coming, he entered the door and asked Su if he could prepare all the delicious and interesting things hidden in the East Palace for Li Mingda.

Su agreed, then smiled and said to Li Chengqian: "Sizi has a heart, and specially embroidered a very beautiful five-poison bellyband for Jueqing."

Jueqing is the eldest son of the Su family and Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian hurriedly asked someone to show him a belly bag, and sighed that the embroidery was good. "Our son is really good at everything, and we don't know who will have such a good fortune in the future, but it is enviable."

"Exactly." Su sighed.

"Brother, tell me, how did you celebrate the Duanyang Festival today?"

"What else can there be, shoot zongzi, eat zongzi, and announce good news. Aye also sent silk fans to several important ministers. It's rare for you. The girls are all gathered together to celebrate the festival. If you don't go, you will go to your sister-in-law Come here for a visit."

Seeing that Li Mingda hesitated to speak later, Li Chengqian asked her to speak as soon as she had something to say.

"What does elder brother think of what happened in uncle's house?"

Li Chengqian: "How can you look at it? It's just his bad luck. If Changsun Huan killed a servant at home, I wouldn't believe it, let alone the deputy envoy of the Wa Kingdom. I don't think this matter is guaranteed. This is the Wa people's fault." Conspiracy. But now that Aye has sent Li Daozong to investigate this matter, we can't intervene."

Li Mingda nodded, and asked Li Chengqian about his character on the pretext that he had something to do with the Inspector, euphemistically mentioning that he often came to the East Palace.

Li Chengqian reacted, and then asked Li Mingda suspiciously: "The one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Correct."

"He often comes to the East Palace? This is to greet your sister-in-law, I don't know." Li Chengqian turned to look at Su Shi.

Just now when Su Shi heard Li Mingda ask about Yu Feng, she was stunned for a moment, and then covered it up with a casual smile.

"He is a lowly eunuch, what he can do in the Eastern Palace is to ask me to take care of some trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Eastern Palace. There is nothing special about it."

Li Mingda did not expect that when Yu Feng came to the East Palace, it turned out to be the Su family.In this case, what she said just now seems inappropriate.Immediately observing Li Chengqian's expression, he didn't reveal any subtle and wrong emotions.

Su Shi laughed, and said to Li Mingda: "He handles things very quickly, if you let him deal with secret matters, there shouldn't be any trouble."

Li Mingda nodded, and then bid farewell to Mrs. Su and Li Chengqian.

Mrs. Su sent Li Mingda all the way outside the hall, confirmed that Li Mingda had gone far away, heaved a sigh of relief, then forced the corners of his mouth, turned and went into the hall to continue dealing with Li Chengqian.

Today's Duanyang Festival, Li Shimin was not living comfortably. On the surface, he was having fun with the ministers, but in his heart, he was always thinking about the matter of the Changsun Mansion.

After returning to the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin wanted to chat with his son to relieve his boredom, but he learned that the child had gone to the East Palace.

Li Shimin had no choice but to choose to revise the memorial. After that, Li Shimin summoned Li Daozong again to ask about the investigation results of Daoyuan Sansanglang's death.

However, Li Daozong hesitated and couldn't tell the progress, and he couldn't even find the escaped Changsun Huan.

Li Shimin was furious, reprimanded him for his incompetence, threw away the memorial in his hand, and drove him down.

At this time, Fang Xuanling happened to come to see him, and immediately learned of Li Shimin's worries, so he suggested that Li Shimin why not find someone else to investigate the case.

"I heard that Li Daozong had a disagreement with Mr. Zhao before, and Mr. Zhao's temperament is upright and strong. In addition, being wronged will inevitably make him feel wronged and angry. I'm afraid he won't cooperate with him in investigating the case. Why don't you appoint the most suitable person to investigate the case? This case will be solved soon.”

Li Shimin nodded, feeling that what Fang Xuanling said made sense.But Li Shimin really couldn't think of a candidate who was capable of investigating cases and could deal with the eldest grandson Wuji.If Empress Changsun was still around, it would be useful to ask her to say a few words about Changsun Wuji, but now she is gone.Immediately, Li Shimin suddenly thought of Li Mingda, and this child also has the ability to investigate cases, but if she, a little girl, should come forward in this matter, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate.

Fang Xuanling heard the Holy Will, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "I think I can give it a try, and I also think that it is more suitable for the princess to take action than other people in the court."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

Fang Xuanling: "There are three reasons. One is Mr. Zhao; the ministers can't subdue him, but the princess can. Second eldest Sun Huan's whereabouts; children have their own way of playing. It would be easier for the princess to check his hiding place. Three investigative skills; the case of the death of three palace officials in the previous palace was complicated and confusing, and the princess was able to trace the cocoon and trace it layer by layer, her ability is indeed beyond the reach of others."

"It's difficult for the Japanese to explain, so I'll let you do it." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly took orders, "Your Majesty, let the princess investigate the case this time, we can continue the previous method and find someone to investigate with the princess. The identity of this person must be higher than the princess, so as to conceal his edge and make the Japanese Don’t dare to make false claims.”

Li Shimin nodded, feeling that Fang Xuanling's words made sense.After deliberating for a while, Li Shimin appointed Prince Li Chengqian to supervise the case, and then asked Fang Yizhi, Wei Shuyu, Yuchi Baoqi and others to join in.Just as Fang Xuanling said, for the search for Changsun Huan, it is more effective to let more of his peers help.Of course, Li Shimin has another layer of thoughts in this arrangement, but he can't show it yet.

At this time Li Mingda had already returned to the Lizheng Hall.I just heard the second half of the conversation between Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.

The second cousin treats her very well, last time he went to Liang Guogong's mansion, he did not hesitate to trouble himself.This time he was in trouble, as long as there was a place where she could be used, she would do her best.

Before Fang Qirui came to deliver the decree, Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan and Biyun to smell the cloak, "I haven't noticed it before, you two are careful, but have you ever noticed whether Princess 21 has used this kind of fumigation?" fragrant?"

The smell on the cloak is very mild, but stronger than that on the lotus handkerchief.If you smell it carefully, ordinary people should be able to smell it.

After Tian Hanshu and Biyun heard about the cloak, they both began to recall.Immediately, the two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
