Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"what--"

When Fu Yunzhi saw that the things he had treasured for so many years were thrown away by Princess Jinyang, his eyes almost fell out of his stare.He crawled over in twos and threes, stretching out his hand and trying to draw the paper into his arms.Fu Yunzhi slowly opened the letter paper with tears in his eyes, and flattened the crumpled letter paper over and over again with his palm.

Tian Hanshan presented a piece of snow-white paper to Li Mingda, the handwriting on it was still wet, with a faint fragrance of ink.

Li Mingda glanced at Tian.

"This is written by his mother Gong Shi." Fang Yi told him directly.

"Sure enough," Li Mingda waved his hand, signaling Tian Hanshan to show Fu Yunzhi the words.

Fu Yunzhi vaguely heard them mention his mother again, and immediately looked at them cautiously and defensively.

At this time, Tian Hanshan gave Fu Yunzhi the paper in his hand. Afraid that he might not be able to see clearly, Tian Hanshan squatted down reluctantly, and brought the paper to Fu Yunzhi, so that he could take a good look at it.

There are seven characters written on the letter paper: "Zong, Qu, Yun, Ming, Dao, Zhi, Li".

Fu Yunzhi recognized the seven-character handwriting at a glance, which was exactly the same as the handwriting of the letter he had kept all along.Fu Yunzhi hurriedly held up the letter that had just been held in his arms by his baby with trembling hands, looked at it one by one, and compared it word by word.

same!

Although the order of the words was messed up, it was indeed consistent with the handwriting of the letter "Named Yunzhi, Li Chengdao" in his arms.

Fu Yunzhi's eyes were straightened, and he was stunned for a long time. He slightly parted his trembling lips, shook his head, and said to Li Mingda and Fang Yi in disbelief, "Impossible, how could you have his handwriting."

The wet ink on the paper was wantonly revealing a truth to him, the truth that Fu Yunzhi dared not admit the most.

In a panic, he asked Fang Yizhi in surprise, "Is he still alive?"

"How can a person be resurrected after death! Fu Yunzhi, before you asked this question, you must have expected it in your heart, but you didn't dare to face it, dare not pierce the truth." Yuchi Baoqi paced into the door, holding a fan , fanned politely, and led the old woman behind him into the door.

Seeing that it was his mother, Fu Yunzhi's lips trembled violently.

After entering the door, Gong Shi saw Fu Yunzhi laying on the ground covered in blood at the first sight, and exclaimed in shock.Her dazed face instantly turned into tears.She cried and rushed to Fu Yunzhi's side, grabbed his arm and asked him what's wrong and if it hurts.

"It was agreed that I was only here to pick up things and go back, but now you are lying on your stomach in the hall for trial, but what kind of obsessive things did you do?"

"Ms. Gong, lust is just a cover for him to play, your son's heart is wilder than this!" Yuchi Baoqi sneered.

"Mum, what's going on?" Fu Yunzhi stared at the letter paper, his hands still shaking.

Gong Shi took advantage of the situation and looked over, stunned for a moment, "This piece of paper...how could you..."

"Isn't this what my father left for me?" Fu Yunzhi stared at Gong Shi's mouth, his face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat floating on his face.

"Yunzhi, this, this..." Gong Shi was also so shocked that his face turned pale.She squatted on the ground slumped, she looked at the people around her dumbfounded, and suddenly saw a beautiful and elegant woman sitting on the top, graceful and dignified, with impressive momentum.

Gong's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Yuchi Baoqi suspiciously.

"I forgot to introduce to Aunt Gong. Princess Jinyang is also here, and I would like to ask Aunt Gong to pay respects. But if your son is really Li Yunzhi, Aunt Gong claims to be a concubine, so she can do so if she wants to." Yu Chibao Qi said half-sarcastically.

Gong's face turned pale with fright, how dare she have such a heart!But after listening to this, and looking at what her son is going through now, no matter how short-sighted she is, she knows what happened.

Could it be her son... This kind of thing is treason!How could Yunzhi be so stupid!

"What kind of imperial concubine, this lowly maid would never dare. This lowly maid kowtows to the princess, and begs her to forgive me. He is stupid and often gets confused and goes crazy. Please be considerate, princess, and don't be serious with a lunatic."

"Mr. Gong, what you say is what you don't say. Now that things are going on, do you think you can get rid of everything with a word of madness?" Fang Yi just asked back, and asked Luo Ge to report what his son had done to Mrs. Gong.

Gong Shi was frightened and cried again when he heard it, sobbing choked up.

"It's all the fault of the maidservant. It was because of a joke made by the maidservant back then that he thought he was special. It never occurred to him that he would remember such a thing until now."

"Mum, you lied to me?" Fu Yunzhi's surprised roar could almost shake the sky.

Gongshi cried harder.

"At that time, he was only six years old. He was not good enough, but he just wanted to play and refused to study. I, a widow, took him to great pains, but he was stubborn and refused to be educated. I tried every trick to beat, scold and praise him, but it was When the injury is healed, forget about the pain, and ignore my teachings at all.

Later, a Jinshi Zhang came back from the county. He returned to his hometown in fine clothes and was so beautiful that many people envied him. At that time, everyone was telling his story. Listen to enlightenment.Later, the border came to report and learned that his father was the general who died in the battle. Before he died, he left him a word of encouragement.Since then, I have changed my temperament, studied hard, and finally passed the exam to win honor for my mother.

I wondered if my son would be promising if he was like this.So I wanted to make up a story to scare him, to test him a little bit, and let him know that he has expectations and needs to make progress.At first I also wanted to make up the identity of the general's father to coax him, but I was afraid that he would see that I was like Zhang Jinshi.Besides, I thought that my son must be better than that Jinshi in the future, so I thought about making him a big identity and making him even better. "

"Mr. Gong, how dare you say such things to the heirs of the royal family? You even forged the letter!" Di Renjie said in shock.

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. We in the backcountry think it's nothing serious. Besides, he is also a sensible age, so it is impossible to say such nonsense. Even if he is a child, how many people will believe him.

It did work for a few days at the time, but then he began to doubt it, questioned it several times, and felt that I had lied to him.So I forged this letter with a long life lock to fool him. "Gong paused, frowned and asked Fu Yunzhi in puzzlement, "I gave him the long-life lock, just thinking about it, but believe me, I know that I can't keep it. It was burned long ago. here? "

"I dropped my bag while my mother was distracted. It's the only thing that proves my identity, the only letter left by my father. Naturally, I will try my best to keep it!" Fu Yunzhi went crazy and rushed to the palace. shouted.All these years he had lived a false lie, and his whole life had been ruined by it.

"Yunzhi, don't be like this. That's really not your father. I thought you'd know that it was just a joke to motivate you when you're older." Gong choked up crying several times, "You're just an ordinary father. Common people, your father was talented and served as a county magistrate, but he died young."

Fu Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, moved his eyeballs, and hurriedly grabbed Gong Shi's sleeve, "Mum, are you deliberately telling everyone this to save my life and cover up my background? I, Aye In fact, it is the royal family, the true direct descendant of the Li family!"

As soon as Fu Yunzhi said this, he was hit on the mouth with a stick by the yamen servant, and he immediately vomited blood.

"Presumptuous, how can you allow your royal status to be tarnished by a pariah!" The yamen servant immediately scolded.

"Yes, to this day, you still dare to get married to the royal family. I don't think it's too much to kill you on the spot!" After Yuchi Baoqi said, she hurriedly cupped her hands and suggested that Princess Jinyang leave. The princess is a royal family. There is no need to face such a madman.

"It's okay, you continue."

Li Mingda's gentle words made everyone present feel that the princess's bearing was extraordinary.Sure enough, she is worthy of being the saint's favorite daughter, virtuous and tolerant.

Li Mingda was very interested in Yunzhi, and Li Mingda regarded his expression as something new.Usually in the palace, she would never see such a lunatic.Naturally, I couldn't see what it would look like when people really went crazy, and what kind of expression changes would follow around the eyes, corners of the mouth and cheeks.

She did see a lot of people and things when she went out this time, and summed up a lot of new things at the same time.For example, even if different people express the same emotion, their faces will still have the same reaction in many places.Another example is that she used to only know the difference between real and fake smiles, but now she can make a good distinction between expressions such as anger, surprise, loss of soul, and sluggishness.

After that, there was nothing too special about the statement of Gong Shi and Fu Yunzhi's mother and son, but it was just to explain some details.

No one would have thought that the truth behind the series of "Queen Xi and Xingxia" would be so absurd.It was just a lie that led to today's bitter fruit.

A "good intentions" between a mother and a child has distorted a child's normal life.

When it was dark, Li Mingda and a group of people set off from the Fuxian county government office and rode back to Anzhou on horseback.

Because everyone had heard too much crying and roaring just now, now the evening is quiet and the cool breeze is blowing, and they feel refreshed. Everyone rides slowly and chats while walking.

At this moment, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help feeling emotional about Fu Yunzhi's case.

"At first glance, this incident is really a bit bizarre, making people dumbfounded. But when you think about it carefully, there are really many women like Gong Shi around us. In order to hope that our son will become a man, we have tried every means, and we will do everything we can. There are also many children who eventually died under the sticks of their parents because of the harsh and excessive discipline. Although Fu Yunzhi did not die under the beating of his mother, he also felt the same way. She died because of her mother's upbringing mistake."

Di Renjie nodded in agreement, "That's true. It's better for children like us who come from a family background. They are scholarly and hairpin tassels. Their parents are well versed in teaching their children, and the methods are more elegant. But those ordinary people who don't understand these things, or It is common for pedantic people who only know how to teach their children with sticks. When I was studying at home, I actually met one, the eldest son of Cizhou Governor, who was only ten years old when he died. Just because our children wrote poems together, He was late and did not do well. He was laughed at, and when he turned around, he was beaten by his parents who felt ashamed. This is not counted, and then he was sent to the ancestral hall to kneel for two days without eating or drinking. When he came out, he was almost half dead, and he was caught with the wind and cold. In the end, his body couldn’t bear it and he died. When he left, his parents were crying, but—"

"But what?" Li Mingda turned his head and asked.

Di Renjie hurriedly said respectfully: "It's just cursing at the funeral, and I don't have any regrets. All I can say is that their son is cruel and heartless. He left them so early, causing them to be white-haired and black-haired."

"Hmph, they did it all by themselves! I'm only ten years old, my body can't stand it. I remember when I was ten years old, I was still hungry for three days. Even if I was given five meals a day, I couldn't get enough. When the body grows, the stomach is a bottomless pit." Yuchi Baoqi was so angry that she said unfairly, "How can there be such parents in the world who don't love their children!"

"The word 'filial piety' is bigger than the sky." Di Renjie sighed.

"Since ancient times, filial piety has been the most important thing. When we say this, will it be a bit 'rebellious'?"

Yuchi Baoqi turned around and saw that Fang Yizhi had been silent, so he specially rode his horse to his side and asked him what he thought.

The rest of the people also fell silent, listening to Fang Yizhi's thoughts.

"Parents are not responsible for the death of their sticks." Fang Yizhi only said this sentence.

Everyone was stunned for a while, but they had nothing to say.

The law is so, what can you do?

Yuchi Baoqi pursed her lips, and winked at Di Renjie, regretting that she shouldn't have asked Fang Yizhi.Come on, a hot dish that can be discussed by everyone all the way, was directly thrown cold by Fang Yizhi's words, making it impossible to continue the preface.

Yuchi Baoqi was not reconciled, so she immediately asked Li Mingda respectfully, "What does the princess think?"

"Go back and have a chat with Liang Gong, Zheng Gong, and Zhao Gong." Li Mingda laughed.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her eyes were bent into a crescent shape, her clear face was like a hibiscus blooming, like a fairy coming to the world, it caught the eyes of the teenagers.

Naturally, the teenagers understood what the princess meant. Did they ask them to discuss with a few powerful ministers in the court to change the law of chastity?It's unlikely, let's just talk about it.

But at this time, Fang Yi said to them directly: "I am in charge of Duke Liang, you can do the rest."

Yuchi Baoqi: "..."

Di Renjie: "..."

"It's not fair, Mr. Liang is your father, so you are naturally easy to talk about. And, and..." Yuchi Baoqi looked at Li Mingda in the middle of her sentence, wondering if she should say something later.

"Come on, our lord has already said so, there is no need to be too formal in private." Tian Hanshan said with a smile.

Yuchi Baoqi was really blunt, and immediately said flatly: "And the remaining two are not easy to provoke, and they are not as friendly as Mr. Liang. Besides, Huaiying and I are juniors, so why don't we talk to those two when it's our turn?" talk."

"That's right, I agree with Baoqi's words." Di Renjie seconded, and suddenly thought of someone, "But when it comes to Zheng Gong, you can find Shuyu. Zheng Gong always loves him the most, and he said the last two sentences are the most useful."

"Speaking of Wei Shuyu, I have to ask, he only left one day later than you, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Yuchi Baoqi said.

Di Renjie shook his head, he didn't know, and he didn't know Wei Shuyu well.

Yuchi Baoqi rubbed his chin and sighed: "I think it's due to some delay on the way, so it's better not to have any accidents. If not, shall we send someone to look for him?"

"Wait for you to worry, the food is cold. Cheng Chubi has already brought someone to look for it." Li Mingda said.

Yuchi Baoqi: "No wonder I didn't see him today, so something happened."

"I can't lose it." Fang Yizhi said lightly, and then said that it was getting late, and asked Li Mingda if he wanted to speed up.

Li Mingda nodded, "It's time to hurry up. Why don't we compare riding skills, and it's more interesting to drive. Don't let me, let's see who can win. If you win, let the three who lose Everyone agrees to a request that is not excessive."

"That's good!" Yuchi Baoqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he immediately clenched his whip, and then moved his wrist, "Princess, then Baoqi won't let you, it just so happens that I have one thing to ask Princess."

When Di Renjie saw this, he was also eager to try. He didn't have any desires, but it was always fun to have a competition.Among the six arts of a gentleman, horse riding is an important one, and he cannot lose.

Fang Yi raised his eyebrows with hesitation, and told Li Mingda: "Safety comes first."

"Start!" Li Mingda then flew away with a whip.

Yuchi Baoqi and Di Renjie glanced at each other, and immediately galloped on their horses, chasing Li Mingda closely.

Only then did Fang Yizhi wave his whip and follow.

Tian Hanshu and others hurriedly followed behind.Tian Hanshan's riding skills were not good, so he hurriedly told the guards to follow up and pay attention to protect the princess' safety.

Thirty zhang away from Anzhou city, Li Mingda reined in, followed by Fang Yizhi, followed by Di Renjie and Yuchi Baoqi.The time difference is only a cup of tea.

When the three of them arrived at the place, they got off their horses and put on worship clothes.For Yuchi Baoqi and Di Renjie, this contest was really unbeatable, so they were very ashamed to lose.I usually practice the six arts hard, and I think my riding skills are good, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't compare with the noble princess who was raised in the deep palace.

"Could it be that the princess often practices horse riding in the palace?" Yuchi Baoqi asked.

"Occasionally." Li Mingda also jumped off the horse, and looked at Fang Yizhi behind her with his hands behind his back, "You let me on purpose?"

Fang Yi straightened his eyebrows and saluted, saying no.

Li Mingda took the opportunity to carefully observe Fang Yizhi's demeanor again, and determined that he was lying to himself.She raised her eyebrows, slightly displeased.He said it was like trying not to give in, but he still let himself, could it be that he looked down on her?

Yuchi Baoqi didn't pay attention to these, and was still wondering how Li Mingda could be so good at riding since he didn't practice.He wanted to ask again curiously, but saw that the princess had already summoned everyone into the city.

Because it was getting late, there was a curfew in the city, and there was no one on the street, the group of people rode horses and walked smoothly, and returned to Wu Wangfu soon.

Before going to bed and resting, Yuchi Baoqi went to chat with Fang Yi again, and for some reason, he talked about the competition in the evening.

Yuchi Baoqi clicked his tongue twice, and pointed at Fang Yizhi, "I tried my best, but you and I can see clearly that you are deliberately letting water out. Fang Yizhi, Fang Yizhi, I didn't expect you to flatter people too. one day."

"I'm behind, so I can take care of the princess's safety. If she has an accident because of this, everyone will be okay?" Fang Yizhi asked indifferently.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in fear.

……

On the next day, Fang Yizhi handed over the relevant evidence of the case to Wu Wang Li Ke.When Li Ke started to order to deal with it, Wei Shuyu came to see him belatedly.

Li Ke admired Wei Zheng's name, and treated Wei Shuyu very well.But because of something to deal with, he didn't stay longer.

Afterwards, Wei Shuyu went shopping and drinking with Fang Yizhi, Yuchi Baoqi and others, which was considered to be a celebration of the conclusion of the case.At this time, only Wei Shuyu and Cheng Chubi did not know that the case had already been reversed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the king of Wu made a public announcement of the murder case, and at the same time wrote a letter to the court, and punished Yun Chu with the death penalty.Fu Yun's mother, Gong Shi, should be executed according to the law for spreading rumors about her royal status, but she thought that she was old and had done many good deeds in the past, so her punishment was reduced, and she was sent to Lingnan for 20 years.

At dusk, when Cheng Chubi and Wei Shuyu returned from visiting Baizhao Mountain, they were shocked by the news of the list as soon as they entered Anzhou City.After the two of them returned to Prince Wu's Mansion and learned more about what happened, they found out the real twists and turns in this case.

Wei Shuyu was a little ashamed, he had deliberately waited for the case to be over before coming back.The purpose is not to hide the case, but to hide the princess.But because he hid from the princess, he couldn't participate in this case.Originally, when the other person came, the case was over, so it was just right, so there was no shame in saying that he was delayed on the road because he was late.But now that the case has a new turning point, he ran out to visit the mountains and rivers during this period, without asking a single question, to understand the basic facts of the case, he seemed incompetent and lazy, and insulted the holy order.

Feeling ashamed, Wei Shuyu looked at Cheng Chubi suspiciously, wondering why he didn't tell her the inside story.On the one hand, he hesitated, whether he should apologize directly to King Wu, Princess Jinyang and Fang Yi, this is really embarrassing.

"I didn't know about this. I think it was when I came to you that the reversal happened." Cheng Chubi explained in a low voice.

Wei Shuyu was thinking about apologizing, and just as he moved, there were guards reporting back and forth, telling Princess Jinyang that Hu Ze, the chief guard of Princess Jinyang, had made a move.

Li Mingda came out of the room, seeing Cheng Chubi and Wei Shuyu who were hesitating at the gate of the courtyard, his heart was bright.But he didn't say much, he just told Cheng Chubi to go to Fu County and follow Hu Ze closely.

Cheng Chubi accepted the order silently and set off immediately.

Wei Shuyu hurriedly asked for instructions and also followed Cheng Chubi.

Li Mingda smiled slightly at Wei Shuyu, "You have just arrived in Anzhou, and you must be tired after traveling for days, so you should rest early so that you don't bother."

Wei Shuyu choked, knowing that the princess was deliberately mocking him.He just went out to play with Cheng Chubi, how could he not be able to go now because of the exhaustion of the journey.

Wei Shuyu blushed, but he had nowhere to refute, so he could only agree.At this time, Fang Yizhi and others also came over, and happened to hear what the princess said.

Li Mingda was very understanding, and changed the subject, "Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the case you were ordered to investigate, it's another matter, it's a matter within our royal family, outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

Li Mingda's words relieved Wei Shuyu's embarrassment.

Wei Shuyu regained his face, thanked Princess Jinyang from the bottom of his heart, bowed his thanks sincerely, and then retired peacefully.

Yuchi Baoqi and Di Renjie, who watched the passing with cold eyes, couldn't help admiring the princess's wisdom and intelligence. This move is really wonderful. It can not only point Wei Shuyu and make him self-aware, but also make Wei Shuyu not lose face so much. I am grateful.

After the two reported the follow-up case to the princess, they resigned.Fang Yizhi went back to his room first, leaving Yuchi Baoqi and Di Renjie behind.

Yuchi Baoqi couldn't help admiring and praising: "The princess's power is not comparable to the wisdom of you and me."

"The emperor's personal teaching is naturally different from yours and mine." Di Renjie didn't find it surprising. Although he admired the princess as much as Yuchi Baoqi, there was a fundamental difference.Yuchi Baoqi was amazed that a woman had such wisdom, so she admired it.But Di Renjie felt that it was only natural for the princess to have this talent. He simply admired the princess's talent, rather than thinking about the fact that the princess should be inferior to a man as a woman.

Yuchi Baoqi rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, then pulled Di Renjie and said in a low voice: "What Shuyu said at the banquet is not unheard of. If the sage really intends to choose one of us to be the Lord, what do you think?"

"I don't think much about it," Di Renjie said, but his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and his face was a little hot. "When the day comes, I will obey the holy order. Anyway, I don't have a choice, but you have a choice?"

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course I——I have no choice. Actually, to tell you the truth, I think Princess Jinyang is pretty good, she has both talent and appearance, and she is very dignified..."

"Tsk, don't be a son-in-law for a long time, and you still can't control your flair." Di Renjie reminded.

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly realized, "That's right, look at my brain, how could I forget about this. If I give up the wild flowers all over the mountain for a peony, do you think it's worth it?"

"I never liked your analogies." Di Renjie frowned, "Women are not flowers in your garden, nor are they wild flowers on the mountain."

"Are you kidding? You are so serious about what you are doing." Yuchi Baoqi hugged Di Renjie's shoulders, patted him and said, "I haven't left a word, do you think a saint will really look at you and me like this? Princess Jinyang is him My dearest daughter, I think unless he meets a fairy-like figure, the old man will never let go."

"Others don't know, I think Wei Shuyu is out of luck, he just disliked the princess." Yuchi Baoqi sighed again.

Di Renjie glared at him, "It's hard to believe that Brother Yi thinks you talk too much. You talk too much about the truth, and you just think about something!"

"Haha..." Yuchi Baoqi laughed heartily.

The two then set up a small table to eat and drink, and then went back to their rooms to rest at the end of the day.

Tian Hanshu put the freshly brewed tea in front of Li Mingda, but saw that his princess didn't respond at all, she was still leaning against the window and looking outside in a daze.

Tian Hanshan really found out that his princess especially liked to be lost in thoughts by the window after she fell off the cliff.This reminded him of a cat in his hometown when he was a child. He also liked to squat by the window and look outside. I really don't know what it was looking at, but he just liked to sit there and watch.

Of course the princess is not a cat, but every time the princess is in a daze by the window, she really looks like a cat.Moreover, her eyes at this time are particularly energetic, like the eyes of a cat when it is waiting for a mouse.

After listening to the conversation between Yuchi Baoqi and Di Renjie, Li Mingda drew a big cross on the blank paper with a pen.

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" Tian Hanxi asked puzzled.

"Fork off one." Li Mingda's answer already made Tian Hanxi puzzled, but Li Mingda was very straightforward, looking forward to the day when everyone was forked off, and then let Aye worry about it.

When it was dark, Cheng Chubi escorted Hu Ze back.

There were also two large carts of iron boxes that were escorted into the palace together.

The fog was heavy at night, and it kept damp everywhere.Therefore, water was still hanging on the corners of the iron boxes they brought in. Each box was locked and tied with iron chains, and the surface was covered with green moss.

After Cheng Chubi sent someone back to the princess, he opened these iron boxes on the spot, and there were countless copper coins in them, more than a dozen boxes, it should be worth hundreds of thousands.There are also three large boxes with small boxes inside. The small boxes are wrapped with coir raindrops to keep water out. When the leaves are peeled off, there are three layers of thick sheepskin inside. After opening, you can see precious things such as gold and silver jewelry, pearls and agates. .All three boxes are like this.

After Cheng Chubi ordered someone to count, he made a list and presented it to Li Mingda.

At the same time, the guards who were in charge of monitoring Prince Consort Pei and his important attendants also sent news.In addition, the result of interrogating Hu Ze all pointed to one place.

Concubine Pei actually kept an outer room in a house in the west of Anzhou City.This girl's name is also suitable for the scene, her name is Bai Jie, and it is said that Prince Concubine Pei specially picked it for her after he took her in.He gave birth to two sons for Consort Pei, the eldest was seven years old and the second was three years old.Now this outer room is still pregnant in June.

According to Hu Ze's account, Concubine Pei was secretly released by him before, and before going to find the princess, he went to meet Lu Qing'er first, the purpose was for the money.He asked Hu Ze to transfer all the money to the 'secret place', and his so-called secret place was the residence of Bai Jie, the outer room.Concubine Pei knew very well that after this incident was exposed, he might not be able to protect himself, so he thought of using Lu Qing'er's money to protect his children.

Li Mingda then ordered someone to relay the story to Lu Qing'er.

After hearing this, Lu Qing'er still didn't believe it, and shouted that it was impossible, but when she saw the list of items that Cheng Chubi handed her, they were all her treasures, and none of them were bad.This fact made Lu Qing'er speechless in shock.

Then Consort Pei was also brought up.

Seeing that she saw the evidence, Lu Qing'er really admitted it, she was so angry that she burst into tears, "I don't mind you having other women, but how could you do this and give the money I earned through selling myself to other women?" Raising children. What about me, our children?"

"Do we have children?" Concubine Pei gave Lu Qing'er a cold look.

"Yes, Anfeng, don't you remember, it's the child I fostered at Mrs. Wu's house. You also said that this child looks like me, looks good when he smiles, and looks like you when he's serious."

"Lu Qing'er, those words were just joking around with you, talking nonsense for a moment of pleasure, you really took it seriously. How do you know that the scoundrel you gave birth to is my child? You are a prostitute, and how many men have you slept with? You really think I'm a green-haired idiot if you want to rely on me?" Concubine Pei's voice was full of disgust, and he stared at Lu Qing'er fiercely with disgust, reminding her not to dream anymore, "You women with unclean bodies are only worthy to be men's playthings in the end, and you still want to be mothers, are you worthy?"

"Pei Zitong, how could you treat me like this! Since I was with you, I have never had an affair with another man. I swear to you, and you have seen how clean I am. How could that child be Someone else's! How can you be so heartless, I can take responsibility, how can you even deny your own child!" Lu Qing'er cried so hard that she almost died.

Concubine Pei didn't have the slightest sympathy when he saw this, he just let out a cold snort, "Talking about feelings with me with your dirty body, how can you women be so disgusting."

Forget it, Concubine Pei spat at Lu Qing'er, thinking that she was asking too much and was not as considerate as before, "I just saw that you were funny and seduced me, so I followed the trend. But do you think I treat you sincerely? Heh, why don't you look in the mirror first, and see if your own licentiousness is worthy of it."

After Concubine Pei finished scolding, Lu Qing'er was completely saddened.Seeing how pitiful this woman was, he thought it was a bit ridiculous and couldn't stop laughing.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the door.Concubine Pei looked intently, and saw Princess Linhai standing there with a serious face.

Concubine Pei suddenly lost her previous arrogance, and called out in a little embarrassment: "Princess—Master."

Princess Linhai walked up to Prince Consort Pei in two or three steps, stretched out her hand and slapped him hard.

Concubine Pei covered his face and looked at Li Yuqiong in surprise, he never thought that one day the princess would beat him.

"It's great that I went to see your two children." Li Yuqiong laughed at herself, turned around and sat down, and then looked at Lu Qing'er again.After a moment of silence, he gradually smiled wryly.

"Think about why I have to spend my life. Being a man... It's ridiculous. I am a dignified princess. Without you, I would be a princess."

After Li Yuqiong finished speaking, she got up and left.

Concubine Pei was terrified, and hurriedly reached out to grab Li Yuqiong's clothes, knelt down and begged for mercy, begging Li Yuqiong to forgive him.

"In these years, every time I saw you go out and squander a lot of money, I thought you were just trying to get angry with me and go out to relieve your worries. It turns out that you emptied the warehouse of my princess mansion, sold salt and silver mines privately, and finally For that woman outside. How pure and clean is she in your eyes, worthy of your favor? I will call her unclean today!" Li Yuqiong said angrily.

Concubine Pei hurriedly said no, and begged Li Yuqiong to let the woman go, "But I have failed her, I deceived her to follow me, if you blame me, you should blame me."

"Do you think I'll still pamper you? After you say this, I'll let you go again? Pei Zitong, it's different now, stop dreaming." Li Yuqiong ruthlessly shook off Pei's concubine's hand, then raised her voice Started, clanging, "I want to divorce you!"

Concubine Pei was startled again and again, his hands trembling, and he looked up at Li Yuqiong.It seemed that she was trying to find out whether she was speaking in anger or in earnest.

But Li Yuqiong didn't give Prince Pei any chance to react, and walked away.

Concubine Pei was in a daze, his eyes dimmed, and he squatted on the spot lifelessly, only one sentence popped out in his heart: It's the truth.

……

Li Yuqiong came directly to Li Mingda.

This girl is still a ghost, after uncovering the matter about Lu Qing'er, she left concubine Pei and Lu Qing'er to make trouble in the house, and called her to watch the show.But she escaped and leaned against the big tree to enjoy the shade here.

Li Yuqiong walked up to Li Mingda, saw that Li Mingda was about to salute her, and reached out her hand to signal her not to do so, "Let's skip the red tape, anyway, you don't really respect me. I also know that I don't deserve the respect of a dignified woman like you." .”

"Aunt has an epiphany?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Yuqiong smiled bitterly, and then sighed slowly, "The sea of ​​love is too deep to understand everything, but I just can't get out. Now I thank you for forcing me to face the truth. A man like Pei Zitong, it's fine if you don't want it."

"He doesn't believe that his aunt is innocent, but I do." Li Mingda looked at Li Yuqiong's trembling hands and said in a low voice.

Li Yuqiong was stunned for a moment, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Women have a hard life. Si, remember, you must find a man who treats you well in the future, so that you can be affectionate. If it's not good, it's better to be alone, come clean and refreshing , nothing happened."

"Ah."

The warm wind blew slowly, and half-yellow fallen leaves fell gently from Li Yuqiong's eyes.

Li Yuqiong looked up at the big tree that Li Mingda relied on, "The place to rely on is still to rely on. Your father treats you the most differently from others."

Li Mingda agreed that although he was a bit puzzled why Li Yuqiong suddenly became so calm towards him, it was a good thing after all, and I hope she has an epiphany. Forget the old man, and there will be the new man.”

Li Yuqiong was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Forget the old people, there are new people. Si, what you said is interesting."

After Li Yuqiong finished speaking, she turned around and went away. After walking a few steps, Li Mingda stopped and said, "I will take back the words that I wrote to frame you before, and I will clarify with your father, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

After Li Yuqiong finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she gave Li Mingda a final look with a smile, before leaving.

Li Mingda watched Li Yuqiong's figure disappear, but soon after, her whole body froze, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and stop Princess Linhai!"
