Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

In this way, all the aristocratic women who participated in the outing at that time could be ruled out of suspicion.However, if we investigate the list of those who did not participate in the outing at that time, the scope will be even larger.Li Mingda felt that he couldn't blindly search with his head covered, and he should start with the most suspicious places in front of him, such as that Yu Feng.There must be important clues about this person, but judging by the way he fools Li Hui'an, it can be seen that this person is not easy to deal with, if there is no evidence to support him, he will probably not explain anything.Li Mingda decided not to scare the snake for the time being, so as not to lose any clues afterwards.

There is one more thing that bothers her, that is, the last time at the Changsun Mansion, Fifth Sister said something that still puzzled her, she said that Huian could not beat her.Li Mingda still doesn't understand that she and Hui'an have never fought each other before, so why can't they fight?Fifth Sister, what does the word "dou" mean?

"Your Majesty, after careful investigation these days, I found that this Yu Feng, apart from having to visit the East Palace at least three times a month, is actually from the same place as the Crown Princess, both of whom are from Jingzhao martial arts."

Li Mingda thought about Yu Feng's appearance, he was fair and attractive, with a flattering mouth, such a eunuch was very attractive to nobles no matter which hall he was in.There is a relationship between the Su family and him, if you really want to say it, you can't accuse him of anything, but if the two are from the same place, it is a coincidence, you must find out.

Fortunately, the area around Jingzhao is very close to Chang'an City, so it doesn't take too much trouble to go there in three to five or six days.

The next day was the day when the princess of the Wa country apologized in the West Market.

Li Mingda just happened to be allowed to go out of the palace to watch the excitement, so he took the opportunity to pick a few reliable guards to follow.After Li Tai heard about this, he also came over to join in the fun. After reconciling with Li Mingda, the two brothers and sisters left the palace together.Li Tai then sent someone to Changsun's mansion to inform Changsun Chong, Changsun Huan and others that he wanted to call all these cousins.

"It just so happens that it's still early, so the fourth brother can just send someone to go to West Market to find a good place to watch the fun. Let's go to Changsun's Mansion to stay for a while, how about it?" Li Mingda asked with a smile.

Li Tai rubbed his chin, raised his eyebrows and looked at her hesitantly: "Are you worried about your Fifth Sister's illness?"

"Fourth brother understands me."

Li Tai took a deep breath, he was very afraid that his grandson Wuji would be at home.After standing for a while, it seemed that he had taken a lot of courage before he said: "OK, let's go. You say what's wrong with our uncle, our brothers and they all look down on me, and you don't care if you say he doesn't like me." Now, even the eldest brother doesn’t like him very much, but he just likes you. Not to mention him, even Fang Gong mentioned you a few times when he saw me last time, and praised you for being smart. Fortunately, you are a daughter, otherwise Big brother probably has to guard against you."

"Fourth brother really believes it! Uncle has a strong temper and is a big man. He just doesn't like to care about us girls. As for Fang Gong, just say some polite words on the face, just be polite. Otherwise, if you let her say something about me, is he going to be If he said in front of my own brother that I was no good, then he would be really stupid, and besides, Fang Xuanling could have the status he is today without his mouth." Li Mingda analyzed.

Li Tai thought about it for the same reason, and then he heard Li Mingda say that those ministers often praised himself and his elder brother in front of her and Aye, and he understood.What Sizi said is right, these ministers are just exaggerating for the sake of their status, and they can't take it seriously.

"Do you want to hear other people's real judgment on you?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Of course I do. Sometimes people just can't see themselves clearly, and they need to ask for advice and self-examination to make progress."

"You really think so?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Tai nodded stiffly.

Li Mingda: "Then I will recommend someone to you. If you get close to me, you will definitely find your own shortcomings."

"Who?" Li Tai asked curiously.

"Du Zhenglun."

Li Tai: "Isn't this by the elder brother's side? He is in charge of the East Palace, if you are willing to stay in my little Wei Palace."

"Fourth brother doesn't know something. This Du Zhenglun and Yu Zhining used to be close friends. Ever since Yu Zhining was punished, he has been unhappy and doesn't want to stay in the East Palace. If fourth brother sincerely asks him to come over, please speak up. He must be happy to advise you. If he agrees, you are willing. My eldest brother has long wanted to let him go. Is there any reason for Aye not to agree?" Li Mingda explained.

Li Tai nodded, thinking it made sense, so he wrote down the matter, and decided to try Du Zhenglun later.

Li Mingda hurriedly pulled Li Tai back, asking him to think carefully, "This Du Zhenglun is just like Yu Zhining, he has a very powerful mouth, he only picks people's faults, and he really doesn't care about any feelings, he likes to tell the truth. Ordinary people can't stand him like this, fourth brother can think clearly, don't regret it when the time comes, the old man can't be driven away, I can't help it."

Li Tai patted his chest and assured Li Mingda that he would not, "I don't even look at who your fourth brother is. He has never been an ordinary person. I was afraid that he would not tell the truth. Wait and see, the fourth brother will definitely listen to him." Get better after your advice.”

"The fourth brother is really amazing, I admire you." Li Mingda gave Li Tai a thumbs up.

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the Changsun Mansion on horseback.

When even a servant from the Changsun's Mansion wanted to come forward to lead the horse, Li Mingda jumped off the horse first, threw the reins to the servant without hesitation, and then quickly walked into the Changsun's Mansion.Li Tai smiled in admiration, and followed him into the door.

The eldest grandson Wuji is in court, but he is not at home.Li Taizhi breathed a sigh of relief.When Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan heard the news, they came to greet him immediately, apologizing that the family was not prepared.

"Such a close relative, why are you being so polite. My son and I will come and take a look, and we will rush to the West Market to watch the excitement later."

"West Market? I'm going to go soon, and I'll go with you. It just so happens that the third brother has already gone to choose a place, so let's go find him." Changsun Huan said.

Chang Sun Chong purposely looked at Li Mingda with a smile, "Wearing men's clothes again?"

"Convenient, inconspicuous." Li Mingda smiled at him, then asked Li Lizhi how he was, then bid farewell to his brothers and cousins, and went to see Li Lizhi.

In the past two days, Li Lizhi's complexion was obviously more ruddy than before, and she was much more energetic. She leaned halfway on the couch, and told Li Mingda to go back and watch the excitement, and remember to come back and talk to her.

"Why don't you need me? I'll let your eldest grandson son-in-law go too later, and let him tell you, you will definitely be happier." Li Mingda called his eldest grandson son-in-law deliberately in a funny tone.I thought Fifth Sister would be happier if I said this, but she didn't expect her face to darken and she lowered her head.

Then, Li Lizhi muttered in a low voice: "I don't want to trouble him, he is too busy these days."

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and took Li Lizhi's hand, "Does Fifth Sister have something on her mind?"

"No, look at me lying in bed all day, leisurely recovering from illness, what can I have on my mind." Li Lizhi smiled, and grabbed Li Mingda's hand, "I can't go out in this body, so you can help me Read more, and after reading it, please tell me the wonderful things, which also makes me happy. If you have time, I should bring Hui'an to meet me, I can't help thinking about her."

"Her, if my sister misses her, why don't you call her here?" Li Mingda's face darkened, and he seemed very unhappy.

Li Lizhi became nervous when she saw this, and asked Li Mingda in a serious tone if something happened between her and Li Hui'an.

Seeing that Li Mingda just shook her head perfunctorily, Li Lizhi became even more nervous. She held Li Mingda's hand tightly and said to Li Mingda in a deep voice: "No matter what Hui'an did to you, she is still a child and doesn't make sense. , forget that you can be more considerate. We sisters were born from the same root, blood is thicker than water, we should care about and support each other."

Li Mingda looked at Li Lizhi's face inquiringly, "What exactly does Fifth Sister want to tell me?"

Li Lizhi looked back at Li Mingda, and the two sisters immediately looked at each other.During the confrontation with Li Mingda, Li Lizhi felt that the other party had a strong aura, which suddenly reminded her of a person.It was her mother, the eldest grandson, who looked gentle and virtuous on the outside, but she was really powerful, but no one else could match her.Li Mingda's temperament is both soft and strong, which is very similar to her.

Li Lizhi was defeated and frowned, "I think you know it. On the second night after you fell off the cliff, Hui'an sneaked out of the palace and cried with me for a long time. Later, I put her to sleep, and then Listening to her having nightmares, yelling 'I really didn't push Nineteenth Sister down', crying hard while yelling over and over again, she still said that the last thing she wanted to lose was you, she regretted it so much."

When Li Lizhi said this, she shed tears and squeezed Li Mingda's hand tightly, "Hui'an is different from you. When my mother left, she was still in her infancy. You have a father who takes care of you, but she is alone. I grew up in the Hall of Martial Virtue. When I became more sensible, I saw that you were favored in front of your father, but she could only get a little compared with you. Would you not be jealous? But this kind of jealousy makes people feel jealous no matter what. Can't blame her. It's not her fault, but it's her pity."

After hearing Li Lizhi's words, Li Mingda remained silent, but his brows frowned even harder.

Li Lizhi wept for a while, seeing that Li Mingda did not respond to her, she thought she was really concerned about Li Hui'an pushing her off the cliff, and said: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but this child Hui'an really likes you, she With a simple mind, it means that she cares about you more than anything else. I should have expected that as long as you asked her about it, she would definitely say it. I have been worried about this since I heard that you started investigating the cliff fall, I once told her to keep her mouth shut and not to admit a single word. I didn't expect her to tell you when she arrived.

Si, don't blame Fifth Sister for making such arrangements.You see, you are in good health now, and there is nothing serious about it.Hui'an is so small, ignorant, and a bit self-willed for a while, you should understand.We are happy to keep this matter from everyone, knowing it, but you can’t get over it, you feel panicked, Hui’an will feel guilty day and night, and it will delay the relationship between our sisters. "

At this point, Li Mingda sneered, "Huian told Fifth Sister herself that she pushed me down?"

"Sis, don't worry about it anymore! Listen to Fifth Sister and let it go like this, okay? As long as you don't worry about it, Hui'an won't have to suffer so much. We will still be good sisters with deep affection in the future." Li Lizhi pleaded The tone is the same as Li Mingda said.

Li Mingda was puzzled and stared at Li Lizhi, "You answer me directly, did Hui'an ever tell you that she accidentally pushed me off the cliff?"

Faced with Li Mingda's stern questioning, Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment, and then replied dissatisfiedly: "I didn't say it myself, she is still young and can't bear the burden, she kept crying and shouting to me that she really didn't push you The one who went down even dragged Guo Liushui, the eunuch next to him, to testify. This child is so stupid, Guo Liushui belongs to her, and even if she wanted to find a witness to pretend, she shouldn't be looking for him. Fortunately, I understand her With a remorseful heart, I know that her temperament has always been pure and kind, and this incident must be an accident, so I took the risk to help her cover it up. Si, are you blaming me?"

"Strange, why not." Li Mingda couldn't help but wryly smiled, and pulled his hand away from Li Lizhi, "Fifth Sister, you don't believe in Hui'an, and you don't believe in me, but you say all you want to protect your sister's relationship." Things that may ruin our sisters' relationship. What kind of people do you think Hui'an and I are? You say that Hui'an is pure and kind, but on the other hand you don't believe the fact that Hui'an didn't push me off the cliff. You think Hui'an pushed me too That's all, but just told me that Hui'an's move is understandable, and I don't want to care about it at all. Fifth sister, don't you think there is something wrong with talking like this?"

Li Lizhi glared at Li Mingda: "What do you mean by that? Do you think Hui'an didn't push you at all, but I meddled in my own business and sowed a wedge between you sisters?"

Li Mingda suddenly felt that he and Li Lizhi couldn't make sense, and her two ideas were fundamentally different.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. My sister has not recovered from her asthma, so it's not appropriate to get angry. You should take care of your illness first. As Fifth Sister said, this matter is over, and everyone is fine. Don't rush for a while. We will discuss it later.”

Li Lizhi took a breath, then nodded, and lay down, unwilling to pay any attention to Li Mingda.

After Li Mingda said goodbye to her, Fang went out to leave.However, she hadn't gone far when she heard the sound of something falling in the room, and then Li Lizhi scolded her for being unreasonable and aggressive, and said that those people outside who praised Princess Jinyang for being gentle and wise were all hypocrisy people.

Li Mingda pursed his lips, his face turned pale.

Afterwards, the maid Bai Lu comforted Li Lizhi, but Li Lizhi didn't let her anger go, saying that she was wasting her efforts and being treated like a donkey with good intentions, and that Li Mingda was raised by a saint, and she was too arrogant not to see her as a sister. in the eyes.Later, Li Lizhi's voice softened a little, and she blamed Li Hui'an for not being able to keep her mouth shut. She had repeatedly asked her not to be questioned, but she was still disobedient and told everything. Did she ever fight? She was the nineteenth sister, and in the end she was pulled in, making her a stranger inside and out.

It turned out that what Fifth Sister called "fighting" meant this.

In fact, Li Hui'an never told her about it from the beginning to the end, and Li Lizhi knew about it.

Li Mingda thought about Fifth Sister's temper before, but now she has become like this for some reason, perhaps due to her long illness and bad temper.Wait a few days until she recovers and come see her again.

Li Mingda turned around and went back to Dayi Hall. When he was about to arrive, he happened to see his eldest grandson rushing towards him.

Changsun Chong left in a hurry, but when he saw Li Mingda, his expression calmed down a little, "Did your Fifth Sister say something bad to you? But don't take offense, she has been bored in the room these days, her temper is not Not very good, please let her go more."

Li Mingda responded, and Chang Sun Chong stretched out his hand to ask Li Mingda to go on. He had important matters to deal with, so he couldn't accompany them to watch the excitement of the Japanese princess apologizing.

Li Mingda nodded, and after parting with Chang Sun Chong, he turned his head to look at Chang Sun Chong's back meaningfully.

Tian Hanshu leaned forward and asked quietly: "My lord, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Li Mingda said so, but he was suspicious in his heart.Not long after she left Fifth Sister's room, Chang Sun Chong found out that she had just had a conflict with Fifth Sister, what does that mean.Someone close to Fifth Sister wrote to him soon.

Of course, it may also be that they have a good relationship between husband and wife, communicate with each other, and often communicate with each other.In the past, Li Mingda would think so, but since she fell off the cliff, her eyes and ears became better, and she felt that the relationship between Fifth Sister and the eldest grandson's son-in-law was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

But it's not for her to intervene in the affairs of other people's husband and wife.

After leaving Changsun's Mansion, Li Mingda took out his token and sent three reliable people around him to investigate the hometown of Su and Yu Feng.She wanted to know if Su and Yu Feng had known each other before entering the palace.If these two people had known each other outside the palace, then Li Mingda could be [-]% sure that the relationship between these two people was definitely not the normal communication between the Crown Princess and the Internal Guard.On Su's side, she had no choice but to offend and investigate him.

The apology of the princess of the Japanese kingdom was very lively today. Li Mingda, Changsun Huan and others, thanks to Li Tai, had a good location to 'see the scenery'.

Ashiya Yinjing bowed over and over again, apologizing loudly to everyone in fluent Chinese.Many of the onlookers booed, and there were also some talented literati and nobles, shouting and suggesting that the Japanese diplomatic mission should make more regulations and self-discipline.

Li Mingda watched Ashiya Yuanjing agree to everything, and apologized sincerely, but he also admired her courage and courage.

After the apology ceremony was over, Li Mingda stayed in the tavern with Chang Sun Huan and others for a while, listening to Chang Sun Huan and Li Tai mentioning poetry, and casually recited a poem he had just heard recently, which was quite good.

After hearing this, Li Mingda also felt that this person had lofty ideals and talents in his poems, so he asked him about his background.

"It's the son of Shi Di Zhixun, the governor of Kuizhou. His name is Di Renjie, and his style name is Huaiying."
