Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Are you in a hurry and want to bite people?" Li Mingda guessed that there was something inside, so he provoked Prince Consort Pei.

Concubine Pei deeply felt that he was innocent, he was not a heartless dandy, some things were clearly not his fault, so he blurted out impulsively: "I didn't want to say too much at first, I was afraid that it would ruin your aunt in your heart." But if you think it’s a heinous crime for me to have sex with other women behind your aunt’s back, I’ll tell you what your aunt is like. When we got married, she had already..."

When Consort Pei said this, his face turned blue, as if he had just suffered some huge and unbearable insult.

Li Mingda became more and more serious, ready to face up to what Concubine Pei said.

"Not a virgin." Concubine Pei spat out the second half of the sentence in pain, and then showed a disgusted expression as if eating flies.

Li Mingda immediately frowned when his words fell.

Concubine Pei's mouth still didn't stop, and he continued to mutter: "People should compare their hearts to each other. It was she who was not loyal to me at the beginning, and I can't be too romantic now. Besides, although I am romantic, I am kind. I hate her and treat her badly. Over the years, as her husband, I have never lost my care and love for her. I—”

"Shut up." Li Mingda's voice was not high, but his words were smooth, with obvious disgust.

Concubine Pei was stunned, met Li Mingda's eyes, and then suddenly calmed down, only to realize that he had spoken quickly and said something that shouldn't be said.If he expected Princess Linhai to protect him with her status as a royal family member, these confessions would block his way out.But if the princess really did those foolish things related to Queen Xi, he would not be able to count on it, and asked God to bless her so that she would not hurt himself.After all, the fact that he was selling private salt was nothing compared to what she was doing about the Queen Xi's descendants, and it wasn't worth mentioning.

"Sis, I told you these things just in a moment of urgency. After all, this is a family scandal. If the news of not being a virgin is spread, it will damage the reputation of the royal family--" Concubine Pei convulsed Li Mingda looked at him

"Pei Consort, I used to think highly of you." Li Mingda's voice was suddenly cold, as if the ice was broken.

Concubine Pei was silent and stunned. Although Princess Jinyang was young, her aura was no less than that of an adult king.She had always been gentle and polite, but now she looked at him with undisguised disgust.Concubine Pei moved his throat, his legs trembled slightly due to his nervousness, so he hurriedly put his hands on his thighs and pressed them down.

"You take care of yourself." Li Mingda cast a last cold look at Consort Pei, then turned and left.After going out, she heard the sound of quarreling, mentioning Princess Linhai, Concubine Pei and her.

Li Mingda followed the sound and walked quickly, and saw the big maid beside Linhai Princess standing opposite Biyun, with a dissatisfied and angry look on her face.Because seeing her coming in a blink of an eye, panic appeared on the face of the round fan, and he hurriedly saluted and greeted her.

"what's up?"

"Princess asked the servant girl to pick up Consort Pei." Tuan Fan nodded.

"Go back and tell your princess that he can't go back." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he turned and left.

Tuanfan was startled, stretched his neck to look at the princess's back, but still wanted to say something.

Tian Hanshan immediately stopped Tuanfan and reprimanded her not to be rude, "Don't make trouble here, I advise you to remember the identity of our lord clearly, and think about it carefully, what happened to the cook in your house who neglected our princess in the first place. "

Tuan Fan glared at Tian Hanshan, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

Fang Yizhi is reviewing Qingniang, and asked her again about the eight deceased who were involved in the disturbance in Ling'an Temple, so as to determine her motive and purpose for committing the crime.

Qing Niang repeatedly denied that she was not as energetic and calm as yesterday, but her mouth was still sharp, "Fu Yunzhi lied, please tell Fang Shizi, Qing Niang was really wronged! I have never had sex with him at all. , did not seduce him to bed to make him an accomplice, and did not kill anyone. Although the concubine is a lowly person, she was broken at a very early age, and she has had lingering affairs with many men, but with Fu Yunzhi, Qing Niang From beginning to end, I have been innocent with him and have not done anything."

"Now there are no fewer than five witnesses who have proved that Fu Yunzhi often visited your brothel, and would stay in your room for a while every time he went. And on the day when the eight deceased were murdered, many people in your brothel can testify that you He left the brothel alone and headed straight for the county seat."

"Fu Yunzhi always comes to my brothel because he wants me to help recommend him to Concubine Pei. I see that he is not in the right mind, so I don't want to help him. Besides, I'm afraid that in the future, many people will get involved in good things, and my share of money will be lost." Less, then more unwilling. But whoever wants to pay for it, he clings to me again and again, always coming, I can't do anything about it, I can only rack my brains and words to drive him away every time. As for the day of the dead, at that time I Received a secret letter, asking me to meet in the city." Qingniang said vaguely.

"Whoever, where did you meet, report it, and I'll send someone to check it out." Fang Yi said straightforwardly.

Qing Niang was stunned, and replied in a tone that even she herself doubted: "Actually, the person I met was Lu Sheng, and I made an appointment to meet in the ruined temple in the west of the city, but I waited there for more than half an hour, but I didn't see anyone else. I went back."

"Can someone confirm it?" Fang Yi asked directly.

Qing Niang shook her head, turned to use her seductive eyes, begging Fang Yi to believe her, she is really innocent.

"Innocent? The fact that you assisted Concubine Pei and Lu Sheng in privately mining silver mines and selling smuggled salt has already been proved conclusively." Fang Yi sarcastically sarcastically.

Qingniang didn't understand why Fang Yizhi, as a man, had no compassion for her.She sat on the ground sadly and desperately, and the big teardrops and string beads slid down her face, she was extremely pitiful.

Fang Yizhi didn't pay attention to what she was doing, and asked her if she had anything else to say, only to hear Qingniang sobbing and begging himself, knowing that her stomach was empty and she had nothing to say, so he sent someone to take her away. take it down.When Qing Niang was dragged away, her face was terrified, she still kept crying, her sobbing was soft and weak, it was different from ordinary people's crying, and it was actually a bit seductive.

Li Mingda stood on the porch, seeing Qingniang being dragged out of the courtyard and disappearing, he still stood motionless, looking in the direction of the entrance of the courtyard.

Fang Yi didn't come out of the hall until a while later, he went out and got off Shiji, he felt something was wrong, turned his head and saw Li Mingda standing there, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked up Shiji again, walking to Li Mingda's side.

"Princess?" Fang Yi made a shallow salute.

Li Mingda's eyelashes trembled slightly, he came back to his senses, and looked at Fang Yizhi, "She still doesn't recognize it?"

"Ah."

"Where has Yuchi Baoqi been these two days, but I can't see him."

"The matter of silver mines and private salt still needs some supporting evidence, so he ran away, but it didn't stand up." Fang Yi replied straight.

Li Mingda turned his head to look at Fang Yizhi, "What do you think of the eight people who died in the Fu County Prison?"

Fang Yizhi was about to open his mouth, when suddenly the guards came to report, "Fu Yunzhi was dishonest in the prison. He wanted to see the prince and said he forgot to explain something important."

Fang Yi looked straight at Li Mingda, saw him nodding his head, so he agreed and ordered him to be brought up.

"Actually, there is one thing that I have always wondered about. Why did Lu Qing'er help Lu Sheng? According to what she said before, she should hate Lu Sheng." Li Mingda said.

After Fang Yizhi asked the princess to sit down, he sat down himself and answered Li Mingda's words.

"This woman is used to playing with the wind and the moon, acting on every occasion, and nine out of ten of her words are not credible."

Li Mingda nodded, she moved the tea bowl away, took out a red bead from her sleeve, put it on the saucer, and pushed it to Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yi recognized at a glance that it was a coral bead, but he didn't understand what Li Mingda meant by this, so he looked at her suspiciously.

"I don't know if you noticed just now, there is a silver hairpin on Lu Qing'er's head, and this kind of beads are embedded in the head of the hairpin."

Fang Yi thought about it carefully, but really didn't pay attention.But it is easy to prove, Fang Yizhi immediately ordered someone to take off all the hair accessories on Lu Qinger's head and send them over.

"Take them all off? Then Lu Qing'er will have her hair disheveled." Although Qing Niang spent the whole night in the dirty cell yesterday, her clothes were stained with straw, but her bun was not messed up at all, and her face was clean Clean, it must have been specially tidied up in the morning.It can be seen how much she loves her appearance, but now Fang Yizhi wants to loosen her hair, this Qingniang may go crazy.

"It's just a prisoner with disheveled hair, it's perfectly normal." Fang Yizhi obviously didn't pay attention to the problems Li Mingda saw, so he casually sipped the tea, and felt that the taste of the tea was even better.

Li Mingda glanced at Fang Yizhi's teacup, and found that there was nothing else in it except the green tea soup.

"Are you learning from me?" Li Mingda asked bluntly.

"En." Fang Yizhi took another sip, and after replying, his expression became more relaxed.

Li Mingda didn't care who drank tea the same way as her, but Fang Yizhi's "hmm" again made her mouth twitch.

The atmosphere in the house was a little weird, and it was very quiet.So Li Mingda could hear Fu Yunzhi's hurried footsteps very clearly.

Fang Yizhi tilted his head slightly, secretly observing Princess Jinyang's serious ecstasy, and guessed that she should be paying attention to something at this time.For ordinary people like them, this room is quiet, but for the princess, it may still be full of sounds.

After a while, the message was announced, and Fu Yunzhi knelt in the middle of the room.

After Fang Yi asked the question, Fu Yunzhi kowtowed to Li Mingda and Fang Yi, "I have seen the princess and Fang Shizi, the criminal officer has something to say."

"Say."

"The criminal officer had a very important clue that was not returned before, that is, the relationship between Qingniang and her stepbrother Lu Sheng is not what she said at all!" Some rumors received were truthfully relayed to Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda.

Qingniang's mother, Qian Shi, remarried to Lu Liang, and within a few years, because she thought that Lu Liang was too old and useless to satisfy her lust, she had an affair with the housekeeper of the Lu family.And every time Qian had an affair with the housekeeper, he let his daughter guard the door.Because of this, Qingniang has been obsessed with the affairs of men and women since she was a child, and she learned by herself without a teacher, and finally developed a romantic temperament.

Later, when Lu Liang was seriously ill, Qingniang not only hooked up with her stepbrother Lu Sheng, but also had sex with her two stepbrothers one after another.And after Qingniang reached the age of marriage, the reason why Lu Sheng married Qingniang to a seriously ill poor peasant was entirely to allow Qingniang to continue to maintain the previous relationship with her conveniently after becoming a wife.

Fu Yunzhi then said: "Originally, the criminal officials didn't believe these rumors, because the person who said these words was a famous lecherous and poor lunatic in Fu County. The woman was very sloppy, so the criminal officer didn't think much about it when he heard it. But now that so many things have happened, the criminal officer saw that Lu Qing'er was related to Lu Sheng again, so he turned around and reflected in the prison. I felt more and more wrong, so I felt that I should report this matter to the princess and Fang Shizi, so as not to miss important clues to solve the case."

"The criminal officer has been framed by this woman and committed a heinous mistake. Please the princess and Mr. Fang must deal with it fairly and punish this poisonous woman severely!"

After Fu Yunzhi finished speaking, he kowtowed again and again.

After Fang Yizhi ordered the guards to take Fu Yun away, someone presented all the jewelry on Qingniang's head.

Li Mingda saw the red coral hairpin at a glance. After taking it out, he observed it carefully.This hairpin is made of three plum blossom heads, two plum blossoms are embedded with red coral beads in the heart, and the other one is not.Li Mingda compared it with the coral beads he picked up from the haunted house in the county government office, and it really matched.

Li Mingda immediately looked at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi was also a little surprised, and then narrowed his eyes, realizing that Lu Qing'er should have something else on him.Then he ordered people to call out the files of the death of Lin Ping's family 13 years ago.Due to the long lapse of time, many case files no longer exist, but because many people died in this case at that time and the situation was relatively serious, the archives were left and can still be found, but it will take some time.

Fang Yizhi ordered people to find some old people from the county government to see if they could recall the situation back then.

While waiting, Li Mingda told Fang Yi, "13 years ago, Lu Qing'er was no more than six years old. The death of Lin Ping's family must have nothing to do with her."

"It could be her mother Qian Shi." Fang Yizhi said immediately.

Li Mingda thought about it and agreed, it is indeed possible.

About an hour later, the file was sent.Fang Yizhi quickly looked through the testimony and some documents at that time, and sure enough, in the personnel list at that time, he found a woman surnamed Qian, who was the cook of the county government at that time.

Fang Yizhi immediately ordered Luoge to question the six servants who are still working in the county government with this cook Qian.

The old guards all said that Cook Qian was a widow at that time, and she took a six-year-old daughter to work in the yamen. Later, after County Magistrate Lin's accident, she took her daughter and left the county yamen.Where she went after that, she didn't tell anyone.It was not until one year later that someone happened to see a woman who looked similar to Cook Qian in Tong County, and everyone knew that she was lucky and remarried to a squire.Although the country gentry is older, he can't hold back that he is married to a bright matchmaker with a rich family background, which is a blessing for the mother and daughter of Cook Qian.

"That is to say, this Lu Qing'er is actually Cook Niang's daughter. When Lin Ping's family died, Cook Niang and her daughter were in the county office." Li Mingda said.

Fang Yizhi also felt that this incident was such a coincidence that there must be something strange, so he re-read the death file of Lin Ping's family, and while reading it concluded to Li Mingda: "The autopsy records made at that time, judging from the death status, it is indeed a hanging. Dead. A family of five, with calm faces, their heads neatly hung on the beams one by one, the eldest daughter is thirteen, the second daughter is eleven, and the youngest daughter is only five years old."

Li Mingda reached out to take the file that Fang Yizhi was reading, continued to look down, then frowned, "Five round stools that fell to the ground."

"Five people and five hands, what's wrong?" Fang Yi asked directly.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi seriously: "The above said that the heads were hung neatly, which means that when the five members of this family hanged themselves, the height of the white silk was the same. The youngest daughter is only five years old, how tall can she be? The tallest is no more than your waist Even if she was stepping on a stool, she would not be able to climb up the white silk hanging from the beams. If she Lin Ping lifted it up, the child would die first and then he would die, but there should be no stool under them."

"This statement is true. It is very likely that Lin Ping's family of five did not commit suicide, but homicide." Fang Yi frowned, "However, the Qian family involved in the incident was already dead, so it is difficult to know the truth."

"But not necessarily. Lu Qing'er was six years old at the time, so it stands to reason that he already remembered things."

Fang Yizhi: "If the Lin Ping family was really killed by the Qian family, then a weak woman of the Qian family must not be able to kill five people at the same time. If she used her identity as a cook, she put medicine in the food and stunned the family. If Lu Qing'er really witnessed what her mother did at that time, it would not be surprising that she killed eight people in a row by killing her, and the son follows the mother."

"Indeed." Li Mingda sighed.

Fang Yizhi then interrogated Qingniang again, raising questions about this matter in court.

When Qingniang was escorted up, her hair was disheveled and her face was depressed.Speaking of her mother Qian's having worked as a cook in Fu County, she admitted it.But when Fang Yizhi pointed out that her mother was suspected of killing Lin Ping's family, Qingniang's expression showed shock and disbelief.When Fang Yi directly said that she witnessed this incident, she would kill eight people in a row without blinking an eye. Qing Niang trembled with fright, kowtowed eagerly to Fang Yi and repeatedly denied it, and defended with tears that she didn't know at all.

"Even if the death of County Magistrate Lin's family was indeed caused by my concubine's mother, my concubine didn't know about it."

Then Fang Yi directly questioned Qian's adultery with the housekeeper of the Lu family, Qingniang hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.

"The concubine lied to the son before, all because she wanted to protect herself. The concubine's mother is indeed a person who does not obey women's morals. Back then, she had a good relationship with the housekeeper of the Lu family. Because she was afraid that my stepfather would find out, she pulled me to stand in the way. So Whenever they met privately, they would send me to play outside the door.

When I was young, I would be curious about why there were always some strange noises in the room, and I would take a peek at it, not thinking that after a long time, it would make me fall into a demon.When I was a little older, I already understood the love between men and women better than women of the same age, and I wanted to give it a try. "When Qingniang said this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her tear-covered face, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at herself or at her lustful mother.

Qingniang had laughed enough, her eyes turned away, and she looked at Fang Yizhi with affection again, and she was naturally unrestrained, "Why is Fang Shizi not talking anymore, how about judging Qingniang? As long as the things are true, Qingniang is willing to let Shizi judge .”

Fang Yi looked at Qingniang with the same look in his eyes, and he didn't even get emotionally agitated by her words, even if it was disgust.

Qing Niang was poured cold water on her head, and realized that she was unable to arouse the interest of the man, she was extremely disappointed, and the self-deprecating smile on her face became even stronger.

Reminiscing about the past is just like poking at Qingniang's weakest vitals, making her even more broken and unable to control her emotions.

"Remember, my concubine's mother once said something when she had a private meeting with the housekeeper. Even when she was a cook, she also had an affair with County Magistrate Lin. She said that County Magistrate Lin was stingy, but he wanted to send her away. If you don't want to give money, you deserve to die.

The concubine told you all this, do you think my mother is the murderer?But the concubine really didn't see her kill people, but my mother can do anything. I can have the dissolute temperament I have today, thanks to her training.She is a cook, so it is easy to kill chickens and ducks, maybe it is easy to kill people?I am not a concubine. Since I was a child, my fingers have never touched the spring water, and I am terrified of being pricked and seeing blood. How can I kill someone!If you think about it carefully, if I really killed those eight people, would I honestly tell you all these things about our mother?I have been wronged, please the princess and Fang Shizi to investigate clearly! "

When Qingniang yelled the last sentence, her voice was a little hoarse, and there was no more delicate sound in her throat that she always made when she was sobbing.

Li Mingda has been observing Qingniang's expression when explaining the process from the beginning to the end, unexpectedly making people feel that she is a little frank.

Fang Yizhi has never had a good impression of women who speak and act dissolutely.There are too many dramas on the spot, and their words are somewhat trustworthy.

After Fang Yi ordered someone to take Qingniang away, he asked Li Mingda for his opinion.

"Assuming that Lu Qing'er is really the murderer of the eight people, what is the reason why the eight people were silenced? And why did they participate in the disturbance in Ling'an Temple? I don't think Lu Qing'er is interested in meddling with Queen Xi's affairs. It seems that there are only two important things related to her, one is men, and the other is money. Everyone knows that if King Xi is involved, it is very likely to be classified as treason. She is a county prostitute, so there is no need to get involved In this kind of trouble."

"But don't forget one thing, her relationship with the son-in-law. If the son-in-law Pei has this intention, how do you know that she will not go through fire and water for it, after all, the son-in-law Pei's appearance is not bad, and he will definitely attract some women to be crazy about him." Fang Yizhi put forward different opinions.

"Others may, but Lu Qing'er won't. She is most proud of her ability to seduce men, how could she be willing to be controlled by a son-in-law alone. I think there is another possibility for this matter—Princess Linhai, we need to investigate carefully." When it came to some sensitive matters, Li Mingda instinctively lowered his voice.

Fang Yizhi nodded in agreement. Although Qingniang seems to be the most suspected of this matter, other possibilities cannot be ignored.

The next day.

Princess Li Yuqiong of Linhai was extremely anxious when she saw that Pei's son-in-law still hadn't come back, and then sent someone to ask for him again, but to no avail.In a hurry, Li Yuqiong came to the door in person to find Li Ke's important person.

Li Ke naturally didn't let him go.

Li Yuqiong knew that the concubine Pei's use of evidence was unreasonable, so she discussed with Li Ke first: "Let him stay in my princess mansion first, and come to arrest him after you write a letter to the saint to make a judgment."

"Auntie, please be considerate. There is no way to accommodate this matter. If Auntie just wants to see Consort Pei every day, she can stay at my house temporarily. When she wants to see her, there will naturally be someone from me who will guide Auntie to the jail." Li Ke deliberately accentuated the word "big prison", but in fact he didn't have the patience to deal with Li Yuqiong.But out of politeness to his elders, he was so polite. If it were someone else, he would have kicked him to Nanshan.

Li Yuqiong heard Li Ke's sarcasm, and became anxious, so she refused to leave and stayed where she was.

Li Ke had never seen such a scoundrel among the royal family, and he was angry, but he had nothing to do with Li Yuqiong. After all, her identity was still there, and there was no evidence to prove that she, the princess, was guilty.

In desperation, Li Ke had no choice but to leave, went to Li Mingda to complain about the matter, and scolded Li Yuqiong for being unreasonable and relying on the old to sell the old.

Li Mingda was sitting by the window with scissors tending flowers and plants. Hearing what he said, he put down the scissors and looked at Li Ke's angry face. The smile on his face didn't diminish, but deepened.

Seeing this, Li Ke was a little annoyed, and pointed at Li Mingda helplessly, "What do you mean, seeing that I am unhappy, you are happy instead?"

"No, it's just that I'm relieved to finally see someone with a similar fate." After Li Mingda said that, he ordered someone to bring Li Ke a bowl of shock soup.

"Shocking soup? Ready already?" Li Ke took a sip and found the taste to be good, so he drank the rest of the soup in one gulp.After drinking, he really felt refreshed and drove away some anger.

"This is specially prepared for you, and I expected you to come."

Li Mingda said when he saw that Li Ke had finished drinking.

Li Ke's relaxed expression just now became tense again because of Li Mingda's words, and then he saw Li Mingda covering his mouth and snickering.Li Ke sighed helplessly, and then smiled, "My good sister, third brother, please don't tease me at a time like this. Your third brother has been forced enough by some people."

"I'm not kidding you, I'm telling the truth."

"No, don't tell the truth soon. I beg you to lie to me, okay?" Li Ke cupped his hands and made a false bow to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda nodded, "Third brother Yushu is facing the wind, with both talent and virtue."

Li Ke almost choked to death.

After being devastated, Li Ke simply didn't speak, and quietly watched Li Mingda cut dead branches.

"You've been quiet these two days, not as energetic as before, why don't you go investigate the case with Fang Yizhi?" Li Ke watched for a while, but couldn't help but speak again.

"That's not my business, it's useless if I care too much." Li Mingda pushed the cut flowers to Tian Hanshan, Tian Hanshan hurriedly took them away, and went to change another pot for Li Mingda to continue pruning.

Li Ke looked bored, "I think you are going to investigate the case directly with Fang Yi, it's a serious matter anyway. You can also help the third brother to quickly settle the mess in Anzhou, and give Aye an explanation as soon as possible later. Sizi's Capable, the third brother has seen it before in the capital, and the third brother thinks you are very good at investigating cases. Your help to the third brother is more useful than cutting branches like you."

"Look, you're so anxious, you've already finished all the questions you need to ask about this matter, and you're all insisting on your own opinion, and there's no more evidence to back it up, so you can just take it easy and search again to see if there's any other places to look up. You can write a memorial to the matter of salt smuggling and silver mining." Li Mingda said.

Li Ke hesitated, and confessed to Li Mingda about the silver mine that he had promised Li Yuqiong that he would not care about it as long as he returned it in full.If he reported the matter of the silver mine again at this time, it would be a little dishonest.

"Then let Fang Yi write it directly, and you send someone to deliver it. This way, you won't be suing, and let her go to Fang Yi to settle the score."

"It's a good idea." Li Ke agreed, and then he reacted and sighed, "Then I probably won't get the credit for solving the case."

"I didn't have you in the first place." Li Mingda said.

"He's ruthless, and turned to outsiders." Li Ke complained dissatisfiedly to Li Mingda, and then suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, I received a document from the court, and by the way, I got news that Wei Shuyu would also come to Anzhou It is said that he left Chang'an City a day later than Di Renjie, but this Di Renjie has been here for several days, what about him? Where did he go?"

"Ask me, how would I know." Li Mingda said lightly.

"Yeah, you don't know about this, but I have other doubts and I want to ask you." Li Ke paused without smiling, "Aren't you weird? The case has almost been investigated by now. The sage sent people to help one after another. It is taboo to talk about the affairs of the Queen's descendants, so I secretly went to Chang'an City alone to seek talents. Later things turned a little bit, but at any rate this Fang Yi has really come to help me. I don’t need to say what he is capable of. I am content to have him come to investigate. I think this is enough. Besides, it’s not good to say that there are too many people who know about this kind of thing. But you Look at us, Aye, as if we are afraid that some people will not know about this matter, we are still sending people over in batches."

"Oh." Li Mingda replied absently.

"What 'oh'? I'm talking to you seriously, but you help me figure out what's going on. Also, the people who just happened to be sent here are all young people, all of them are talented and talented, uh... ...It seems to be heavy, but they all have the same meaning anyway, they are all from a well-educated family." Li Ke said this, and deliberately turned his head to observe Li Mingda's expression, but it was unexpected that this girl had a flat face, Didn't hear his voice at all.

"Son, are you listening to me?"

"I'm listening—" Li Mingda sighed helplessly, and turned to look at Li Ke, "Some nonsense."

Li Ke was choked immediately, and immediately couldn't say what he wanted to reveal the truth.

Li Ke nodded helplessly, and said to Li Mingda angrily: "Okay, you think it's nonsense, don't you need third brother to remind you, right? Your third brother, I really won't talk about it unless you ask me."

"Third brother worries so much, it's easy to turn gray."

"Nonsense, your third brother is still young, and my hair is shiny and black since I was a child. Everyone envies me, without any gray hair."

"It's already there." Li Mingda pointed to the left front of Li Ke's head.

Li Ke touched it, only to realize that touching it was useless, so he hurriedly went to the cat waist in front of the bronze mirror to have a look, and then asked the attendants beside him.The attendant bowed and looked at Li Ke's head for a long time, and found a white hair, then pulled it out and handed it to Li Ke.

Seeing this white hair, Li Ke felt worse than knowing that the case had not been solved.He grabbed his white hair, glanced at Li Mingda, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.

Two days later, Li Mingda overheard a maid in the palace discussing that the King of Wu had eaten Polygonum multiflorum for six meals in a row, and he would definitely eat it even if he didn't eat.

"Your lord, Princess Linhai still stays in the Wu Wang's mansion, and makes troubles with Wu Wang every day. Wu Wang was upset and said that he didn't want to go back to the mansion. He asked the slave to send a message to your lord, please wait for a while. Sitting in the palace on his behalf, all matters related to the case can be decided by your lord." The steward of the palace hurriedly reported back and forth.

Li Mingda: "Nonsense, where is he?"

The butler shook his head, "I don't know, the prince sent a guard to inform me of this news. Just after I heard this, I didn't have time to ask, so the guard rode away."

Li Mingda observed the butler's sincere expression, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should be the truth.Li Yuqiong has been bothering Li Ke's situation these two days, and Li Mingda also knows that it is really troublesome.He is a man, still a junior, it is indeed not easy to get entangled with Li Yuqiong.

Li Mingda didn't say much, and sent the butler away.

In the evening, Li Mingda was about to go for a walk near the lake near his residence, and then he moved to the gate of the courtyard. He happened to meet someone sent directly by Fang Yi to send a message, saying that the investigation had made progress, and the other party could not continue to report. Li Mingda stopped immediately.She turned around and retreated into the courtyard, and immediately ordered someone to close the courtyard door.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi ordered his subordinates to do the same, and asked Li Mingda why, "My lord, why don't we go to Fang Dalang?"

"I'm suddenly in a good mood and want to go another way."

Tian Hanxi was puzzled, "But there is only one road to the main entrance in this courtyard."

Li Mingda hurriedly pulled Tian Hanshan to go to the back of the room, and told Biyun to wait in the yard while walking, "If anyone comes to see me later, just say that I am asleep and should not be disturbed."

After Li Mingda finished speaking, he and Tian Hanshu went to the courtyard wall behind the house.

"My lord, do you want to climb over the wall?" Tian Han asked.

Li Mingda nodded, and immediately there were guards who made a ladder, Li Mingda climbed to the top of the wall with Tian Hanshan's support, and then jumped down neatly.Afterwards, Tian Hanshu also turned down.After Li Mingda landed, he was a little unsteady, and just happened to be bumped by Tian Hanshan, and he fell down and sat on the ground.

Tian Hanxi was so frightened that he rushed to help him, "Damn it, you hit your master, slave—"

Tian Hanshan wept as he said this, and knelt on the ground to confess his guilt.

Li Mingda pulled him up casually and urged him to leave quickly.

The house is facing the lake, and if you walk a little bit forward, you can see a water pavilion.

The master and servant had just walked a few steps when they turned their heads and were startled. At the waterside pavilion on the west side, Fang Yi in black clothes stood upright. At this moment, their eyes just happened to fall on their master and servant.

Not to mention that Li Mingda is a princess, even Tian Hanshan, an eunuch, felt embarrassed when he saw this.Why is luck so bad?The first time they jumped off the wall, they were spotted right away!

Li Mingda turned his hands behind his back, gently patted the dust on the back of his clothes, then straightened his back frankly and faced Fang Yizhi who was walking over.Behind Fang Yizhi were four attendants, two men and two women, but at the moment all four of them bowed facing the lake and waited for orders.This made Li Mingda breathe a sigh of relief, at least Fang Yizhi was the only one who saw her embarrassment.

After Fang Yi straightly saluted, Li Mingda asked first: "Just now you passed on that the case has progressed and you want to report it to me, why is someone here?"

Fang Yizhi was surprised, "This is the place where we agreed to answer, and the princess didn't know? Yizhi thought that the princess was taking a shortcut just now."
