Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Lizhi couldn't believe her ears, she turned her head to look at Li Mingda in amazement, and asked her to repeat her words.

Naturally, Li Mingda was not afraid of Li Lizhi's threat, so he casually glanced at her, and then glanced at Chang Sun Chong.

"Life is like this. Both of you are bound to be involved. I only pity my two ignorant nephews. But today I am not here to trouble you. I just want to find out about Wang Changshi's case. Stop it, but you can't stop me..."

Chang Sun Chong frowned when he heard this, he was probably not used to Li Mingda's evaluation of him.

Li Lizhi was so angry that she sneered, "You can't talk about our affairs, and you can't intervene in the affairs of Princess Changle's mansion. If you give me back Bai Lu, I don't have to worry about it with you. But if you really take advantage of me Now that you have a clue in your hands, if you dare to threaten me and trouble me, don’t blame me for disregarding my sister’s feelings.”

"When did you think about your sisterhood with me? Besides, Princess Changle in the eyes of the world is dead, so there is no Princess Changle Mansion, and this mansion will be renamed in a short time. I am favored by Fifth Sister's taste, If this mansion is changed to Princess Jinyang's mansion, will Fifth Sister be mad?"

Li Mingda is not a fool, Li Lizhi's previous series of questioning obviously did not have good intentions for her.And before that, what Li Lizhi said to her behind her back never had any sisterhood.Li Mingda is not a good old man who has been despised by others and has to swallow his anger.Who wouldn't say angry words.Not only does she know how, but she also picks on her weaknesses.

After Li Mingda finished speaking, he looked up and down the mansion with his hands behind his back, and pointed to the furniture with some dissatisfaction, expressing that he didn't like rosewood and wanted to change it later.

Tian Hanxi hurriedly nodded cooperatively, "I have made a note."

Li Lizhi's face was flushed with anger, and the red color extended all the way to the roots of her hair.She stared fiercely at this younger sister who provoked her, and her anger almost exploded her flesh and blood.

"I'm not dead yet!" Li Lizhi warned her.

"Then Fifth Sister dares to go out in an open and honest manner?" Li Mingda asked back.

Li Lizhi choked, her face turned from red to green.

"Since you are no longer a princess, remember who you are, and don't be intimidated by what you used to be. It's no longer useful. It's just that you can get familiar with this attitude now, and when you go outside in the future, you will be better." I have adapted to folk life." Li Mingda continued.

The corner of Li Lizhi's mouth was trembling, "You—"

Li Mingda waited for a while, and when he saw that Li Lizhi was still speechless, he explained again, "I said earlier that I came to investigate the matter of Wang Changshi's delivery of the letter, so I asked Bai Lu. You two don't have to go up like this Blame me. Besides, is it useful for you to blame me like this? If I really intend to make trouble for you, who can stop you two?"

The eldest grandson rushed to salute, realizing that he was too impulsive before, and seemed to have misunderstood the purpose of Li Mingda's visit, so he sincerely apologized.

Li Lizhi snorted coldly, she didn't care what purpose Li Mingda came here for.After the trouble just now, she can't get better with her attitude towards this younger sister.

Li Mingda also understood what he was like in Li Lizhi's heart.If it is good, it will not be bad, and if it is bad, it will not be good.In short, just do what you want, and there is no need to think about sisterhood to accommodate.

Li Mingda then briefly told the two of them about Wang Changshi.As soon as they heard that the letter had been sent to the princess mansion, Zhang Sun Chong and Li Lizhi became vigilant immediately.Chang Sun Chong was better and wanted to explain.Li Lizhi was just ready to go, thinking that Li Mingda was shaming public affairs for personal gain, and wanted to launch a new round of attacks on her, so every part of her body was ready to fight.

"This is just a small case, and the process has probably been investigated. I know whether any of you are involved in this matter. I just want to interrogate Bai Lu." Li Mingda explained again, and let them go.

Li Lizhi's aura just got up, and it disappeared instantly. She looked at Li Mingda in disbelief. She didn't expect this matter to be solved like this, and she was not held accountable.Li Li was puzzled and asked Li Mingda what was going on.

Li Mingda told her how Wang Changshi instigated six-year-old Zhang Feixue to murder his father, Zhang Inspector, and told her that when they were interrogating, Wang Changshi gave a clue that a nobleman in Beijing received money to work for the magistrate. , so there is now a follow-up investigation.

"I believe that Fang Qirui has this ability, but Bai Lu is nothing, she is just a little maid, what fool would ask her to buy an official. I think your clue is wrong, and I don't know who is evil. , In order to get rid of the crime, deliberately frame the princess mansion, and ask someone to deliver the letter here." Li Lizhi is well aware of the conspiracy among the court dignitaries, but she does not believe that things will be as simple as Li Mingda said.

"Fifth Sister doesn't need to speak for Bai Lu, she has already pleaded guilty. It was she and Wei Xian, the guard, who secretly embezzled the bribe money that Wang Changshi gave to seek officials. The money was bought by Wei Xian and Bai Lu in the capital. In a house, at this moment Cheng Chubi has brought people to seal it up." Li Mingda said.

"Wei Xian?" Li Lizhi frowned, feeling that the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Chong immediately said: "It's the guard next to the princess. She was sent away by the princess eight years ago. The reason seems to be 'it doesn't look pleasing to the eye'."

Li Lizhi heard the sarcasm in Changsun Chong's words, and immediately glared back at him angrily.

Chang Sun Chong didn't say anything, after finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, and then remained silent.

Li Lizhi: "This happened many years ago. However, it cannot be ruled out that he hated me because of this incident, so he blamed Wang Changshi's matter on our Princess Mansion."

"Over the years, Wang Changshi has bribed more than 20 pieces of silk before and after. The two of them are bold and greedy for money. They just took advantage of Wang Changshi's desire to curry favor with the powerful. If you still don't believe me, I will send Bai Lu I called to explain the whole story to you personally." Fang Yizhi was interrogating the details in the next room, and just now Li Mingda dealt with them alone in order to avoid obstruction from Li Lizhi and Chang Sun Chong.

Not long after, Bai Lu was brought in, knelt on the ground, cried and kowtowed to Li Lizhi to make amends.

"It's my fault that the servant girl is obsessed with money. Because the princess told me earlier that the letters from these magistrates begging for good relations should not be read and must be burned. Those fawning people have nowhere to go, so they set their hands on the maidservant, usually The ones I met were just giving ten strings and eight strings of money, asking the maidservant to help me with a message, but the maidservant refused. But later Wang Changshi gave the maidservant a pile of mutton fat jade bracelets. The servant girl serves the princess daily and eats all the year round, so you can tell if this thing is good or bad, the quality of the bracelet is no worse than the ones in the palace. The maidservant meets someone who thinks highly of me like this."

Li Lizhi glared at her with hatred: "So you got a bad idea and left that bracelet?"

Bai Lu didn't dare to look at Li Lizhi, and lowered his head even deeper.

Li Lizhi was so angry that she raised her hand and pointed at her fiercely, wishing she could tear it apart with her eyes.She really didn't expect that her confidant, who had been with her for more than ten years, would be so seductive and disappoint her.

What Bai Lu admitted was tantamount to completely negating her previous words, and slapping her on the face not only made her lose face in front of her sister, but also made her look very imposing and caressing.

"Keep talking!" Li Mingda ordered in a calm voice.

"After the servant girl kept the pair of bracelets, she felt guilty and regretted, and wanted to return them in private, but was stopped several times by the people sent by Wang Changshi, begging me to accept them, and let me say a few good words for him That's all. He didn't want anything else, just wanted to ask the princess to introduce a noble person for him to help him get promoted. At that time, they made things very simple, saying that they only needed someone to take care of them in Beijing, and they didn't need to bother at ordinary times. When encountering difficulties, at a critical moment, it is enough to help with a word or two of life-saving words. The servant girl felt soft-hearted again, so she agreed.

After returning, the servant girl tried to tell the princess about Wang Changshi. The princess reprimanded the servant girl immediately after listening to one sentence, telling the maidservant to remember that in the future, she was not allowed to mention those insignificant magistrates to her again.

In desperation, the servant girl had no choice but to tell Wei Xian about this matter, and Wei Xian came up with such an idea, saying that Wang Changshi was far away in Cizhou, and asking for help was just to say a word, in fact, this It can be done or it can't be done, it's not difficult.It's better to just agree and just fool him.But this noble person must be someone that Wang Changshi is not allowed to meet casually, so as not to reveal his flaws.That's why we thought of the celebrity in front of the saint, Eunuch Fang.After that, we used the name of Eunuch Fang to fool Wang Changshi.In order to convince Wang Changshi, he specially asked him to send a letter to Wei Xian.Because he has been on duty at Chengtianmen since he was dismissed by the princess.When Wang Changshi heard that the news was going to be passed on to the guards of Chengtianmen, he naturally believed it very much, no doubt it was fake. "

After Bai Lu explained these words, he broke down in tears and lay down on the ground, waiting to be punished.

Li Lizhi stood up abruptly, looked at her in disappointment, and gritted her teeth, after all, because she had already lost face, she couldn't get angry again, and lost her manners.Li Lizhi couldn't face Li Mingda, so she pushed the door open and left.

"Don't go out—"

Before Li Mingda finished speaking, the door was already opened by Li Lizhi.

At this time, a girl was walking outside the courtyard.Seeing Fang Yizhi, she wanted to talk to him, but when she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she turned around and saw a beautiful woman coming out of the house.She had some doubts about his identity, so she couldn't help but look over curiously.

Then, Zhou Xiaohe saw Princess Jinyang in the room.

In a blink of an eye, looking at the rich and dignified appearance of this woman, and hearing the servant girl next to her call her "Your Master", Zhou Xiaohe was stunned again and again.

Li Lizhi didn't expect that there were outsiders at the gate of the courtyard at this time, and Fang Yizhi was here. It must be that this matter will not be hidden from him sooner or later, but who is the strange girl in front of him.Speaking of which, I still have to blame myself, because the feigned death concealed everyone, so where she appeared, there were not even extra servants and guards.

At this time, Li Mingda walked up to Li Lizhi in two or three steps, blocking Zhou Xiaohe's eyes from looking at Li Lizhi.Just now she did hear footsteps approaching, Li Mingda was worried that there would be outsiders, so she wanted to call to stop Li Lizhi who left suddenly, but she didn't expect that it was Zhou Xiaohe who came.

It's really interesting, the few people I met in Jindi all came to Chang'an City at the same time.

"Why are you here?" Li Mingda asked.

Fang Yizhi was also a little surprised to see Zhou Xiaohe, but he didn't show it on the face.Just now he wanted to send her away directly, but now seeing the princess speaking again, Fang Yizhi didn't need to say anything, with an indifferent face, staying out of the matter.

Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly bowed to Princess Jinyang and apologized, explaining that she came to the Princess Mansion with her aunt to express her condolences, because after Chugong came back, she separated from her cousin who was traveling with her, and her search came here.

Taking advantage of her speaking opportunity, Li Mingda turned to look at Li Lizhi.Li Lizhi looked back at Li Mingda with a very nervous expression.

Zhou Xiaohe couldn't get up because Li Mingda hadn't excused her, but she was still a little curious about the identity of the beautiful woman, she turned her head slightly, and glanced over from the corner of her eye.

Li Mingda: "Seventh sister, let's go."

Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, and with a hurried "um", she lowered her head and took the cloak from the attendant as she walked, and put the black hat on her head.

It turned out that it was Princess Baling who was ranked seventh.Zhou Xiaohe suddenly realized.

"Excuse me. Since it's a funeral, you shouldn't wander around other people's mansions. Presumably your parents have taught you this rule." Li Mingda said in a bad tone.

Zhou Xiaohe nodded, immediately felt aggrieved, with watery eyes.

"Just said your aunt and cousin?" Li Mingda asked.

Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly revealed his identity.

Li Mingda did not expect that Zhou Xiaohe's aunt was actually Wei Zheng's wife.She came here today to express her condolences with Wei Zheng's family.

Li Mingda said "Yes", but he didn't want to express his opinion. He sent someone from the Princess Mansion to lead Zhou Xiaohe.

Zhou Xiaohe saluted and thanked Li Mingda excitedly, and sighed that it was fate to meet her today.

"Is this a predestined relationship?" Li Mingda saw Zhou Xiaohe nodding sincerely to him, blinking her eyes with extreme innocence, so she didn't say anything, and waved her hand, indicating that she could go.

Not long after Zhou Xiaohe left, she met her cousin Wei Wanshu.

"You're here, so it's easy for me to find you!" Wei Wanshu took Zhou Xiaohe's hand.

Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly told Wei Wanshu what she saw just now.

Wei Shuyu came over to urge the two younger sisters at this time, "The condolences are over, and my mother told us to go back."

"Okay." Zhou Xiaohe sniffed.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaohe's eyes were a little red, Wei Shuyu hurriedly asked her what's wrong.

"I just went the wrong way, and was seen by Princess Jinyang, who scolded me." Zhou Xiaohe burst into tears of grievance, but hurriedly wiped away the tears, saying that she was fine, "It's all because I'm like a headless chicken." I have to walk around."

"But you shouldn't be a headless fly, you are a human being." Wei Shuyu stared at her coldly, warning her to be more honest when she went out to the nobles' houses in the future, "Don't treat this place as your own, Anything."

Zhou Xiaohe was stunned, she didn't expect her cousin to be so fierce to herself, tears flowed even more fiercely.

Wei Wanshu hurriedly protected Zhou Xiaohe behind her, and complained to Wei Shuyu: "She just came to the capital, she is new here, how can she know so much, you speak harshly."

Wei Shuyu glanced at Zhou Xiaohe, snorted coldly, turned around and didn't speak.

Wei Wanshu turned her head and whispered to persuade Zhou Xiaohe not to be angry, and comforted her in a low voice: "Your cousin always speaks like this, and he doesn't know how to pity others, so please ignore him. It's all right, I'll play with you when you go back."

Wei Wanshu asked Zhou Xiaohe to get into the car first, and then said to Wei Shuyu: "You are going too far, my cousin is a guest after all when she comes to our house!"

"Naturally, I have to say it harshly, otherwise I have some crooked intentions, and I have to ask my mother to bother to refuse and offend relatives." Wei Shuyu said.

Wei Wanshu was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Wei Shuyu meant. It turned out that he was worried that Zhou Xiaohe would take a fancy to him in his harsh words.

"My elder brother, you really misunderstood this time. She is the one you like, but you are not the one who makes her run all the way."

Wei Shuyu asked back, "Who is that?"

"Someone who is better than you." Wei Wanshu said.

Wei Shuyu immediately understood, thought for a while, and sighed: "Then she has good eyesight, and my cousin is also good-looking. If there is a chance, we can help her."

"I just met this guy, and I was scolded by you."

When Wei Shuyu heard this, he was very surprised and hurriedly asked for confirmation.Knowing that Fang Yizhi was also in the Princess Mansion, Wei Shuyu was a little happy, he asked Wei Wanshu to help deliver a message to his mother, and he could just go back by himself.

Wei Wanshu agreed and asked Wei Shuyu not to return too late.She walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, and called Wei Shuyu, "Princess Baling has returned to Chang'an City, and she came here to express condolences, have you heard of this before?"

Wei Shuyu shook his head.

Wei Wanshu was also surprised, just now Zhou Xiaohe told her that she also saw Princess Baling, and indeed heard Princess Jinyang calling her Seventh Sister.But if Princess Baling returns to Beijing, there shouldn't be any noise at all, she should have heard about it long ago.

However, it is also very possible that when Princess Baling came back, she acted in a low-key manner and did not inform everyone.Since this possibility cannot be ruled out, it is useless to think about it, so I let it go.

……

After Li Mingda received Bai Lu's testimony from Fang Yizhi, he waited for the results of the investigation to seal up the places where Bai Lu and Wei Yuan hid the stolen money.All the money embezzled by the two of them was in the house in the west of the city. The remaining property was about [-] pieces of silk, and the rest of the money was squandered by the two of them.

"One of them is a maid and the other is a bodyguard. They spend a lot of time on duty. How can they spend money?" Li Mingda sighed.

"This is the most interesting place." Cheng Chubi said, "There are no less than a hundred servants in the house. The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they all have the best food and clothing on the market. People in those The servants pretended to be brothers and sisters, who made a living in business, and said that the house was a separate garden, so they could only go back when they had time. The two of them would enjoy it, since they were served by people from the moment they entered the door, and they didn't even have to walk. Everything should be covered. I heard that the only thing they have to do is to open their mouths to eat."

Fang Yi sneered, "It's enough to be a servant."

"It will indeed be a blessing." Li Mingda returned the testimony to Fang Yizhi, "Since the matter has been investigated, it is time for me to leave."

Fang Yi nodded and saluted, "Princess take care."

Li Mingda sniffed and smelled the fragrance of Ming Ting, she turned her head slightly to look at the direction behind Fang Yizhi, and smiled knowingly.Then he waved to Fang Yizhi, and left with Tian Hanshan, Cheng Chubi and others.

Li Mingda was also relieved at this point, fortunately the Princess Mansion did not involve any secrets such as government affairs.She was even worried about a big conspiracy before, so she asked her father to ask Cheng Chubi to continue protecting her.

Now a false alarm is what she wants.

Li Mingda bid farewell to Fang Yizhi, and after walking for a certain distance, he heard Wei Shuyu's voice behind him, and couldn't help feeling amused.She felt that Wei Shuyu seemed to be avoiding her, but wanted to flatter Fang Yizhi very much.

After all, this person is not important to her, and she doesn't usually have any relationship with him. Li Mingda is not interested in what Wei Shuyu thinks in his heart and how he behaves.Then I thought about it, and I just wanted to go back to the palace by car, and report today's investigation to the saint as soon as possible.

If my father knew that she and Fang Yizhi had concluded the investigation of the case so quickly, he would be very happy to praise her.This way she could ask him to agree to some small requests, such as going out of town to the cliff once more.

Because there was an endless stream of condolences in front of the Princess Mansion, Li Mingda rode through the back door to avoid trouble when he left.

I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance.

After Li Mingda came out from the back door of the Princess Mansion, she saw a soapy figure riding a horse galloping past her eyes, of course she recognized who it was at a glance.Li Mingda didn't make a sound, and set off back to the palace as usual.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes behind him stopped, and turned louder and closer to her.

Only then did Li Mingda rein in the reins, and looked at Ashiya Yonjing who had just flown past her eyes and returned.

After Ashiya Yuanjing confirmed that it was Li Mingda, her face was full of surprises. She jumped off the horse, saluted hurriedly, and then asked Li Mingda with a smile, how is the trip going?

After all, before Li Mingda could answer, Ashiya Yuanjing hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot. Princess Changle just passed away, and your lord must be in a bad mood. I really have no sense to ask you these things at this time."

"Seeing you, I still want to ask. When I left Beijing, I heard that you were missing."

Ashiya Yuanjing smiled embarrassedly: "It's my subordinates who are messing around. I only went out to play for two days, so I thought something happened to me."

Li Mingda saw that she was just like him, with a tanned face, and knew that what she said was true.

"Don't be willful. If you go out, you should inform the servants so that they can protect you." Li Mingda instructed.

Ashiya Yardjing was helpless, "I just didn't tell them because I thought they were stumbling. I've been like this for the rest of my life. If I don't talk about love, then naturally I want to indulge myself in the mountains and rivers."

Li Mingda looked at Ashiya Yujing who was talking, and his eyes naturally fell on the corner of Ashiya Yujing's mouth.There is a very light brown spot on the left corner of her mouth, and whenever she speaks, the brown spot will jump along with it.

Afterwards, Ashiya Yuanjing bowed his hands and said goodbye to Li Mingda. By the way, he also said a few words of comfort, asking Li Mingda to mourn the death of Princess Changle.

Li Mingda glanced at Ashiya Yasushi's wrist, there was a clear black and white line between the place where the sleeves slipped down and the place where the sleeves were often exposed.I don't know where this Ashiya Yuanjing went to play, and the tan was even darker than her who traveled far away.

Li Mingda then nodded to Ashiya, bid farewell to her, and went their separate ways.

After returning to the Lizheng Palace, Li Mingda submitted the report on the case written by Fang Yizhi himself to Li Shimin.Li Shimin took a glance at the words, and found it pleasing to the eye, and he was very interested in reading it.Not only is the font beautiful and unusual, with a hidden character, but also the narrative is concise and clear, which makes people understand at a glance, and feels comfortable in the heart naturally.

"Good words, good writing." Li Shimin sighed.

Li Mingda took a sip of peach juice and nodded accordingly.

"Well done, I didn't expect you to figure it out in less than half a day. Aye's prediction was right. Sis, you are indeed a talent for investigating cases. Aye should use you in the future." Li Shimin sighed.

Li Mingda became interested after hearing this, put down the cup in his hand, his eyes lit up, and looked at Li Shimin curiously: "Is father going to make Sizi an official?"

"Oh? Are you still interested in being an official?" Li Shimin smiled and asked Li Mingda to tell me what kind of official she wanted to be.

"Aye said that I'm good at investigating cases, so I can learn to see things like prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Li Mingda put his hands on the table, then put his face on the back of his hands, raised his eyebrows and tilted his head, testing Ask Li Shimin, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement at first, thinking that it was not impossible for Sizi to practice in the Ministry of Punishment.Back then, her aunt, Princess Pingyang, could have conquered the world for the Tang Dynasty and fought as a female general to kill the enemy.It's so difficult for his daughter to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the case and avenge the people's grievances.

So Li Shimin took a sip of peach juice, determined to think about it, and suddenly heard his daughter call "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment", which made Li Shimin almost spit out the peach juice in his mouth.

cough cough...

Li Shimin choked and coughed slightly.

Li Mingda hurriedly got up and handed the handkerchief to Li Shimin.

"Is Aye surprised by Sizi's lofty ambition?"

"Since ancient times, if you want to be the princess of the Ministry of Justice, you are No. 1." Li Shimin sighed.

"Why don't Dali Temple Ministers do it, and you can talk to me." Li Mingda said it very easily, which made Li Shimin's expression gradually melancholy.

"Si, it's actually not as easy as you think to be an official. Not only do you have to investigate cases, but there are also many boring things to do, and you have to go to court..."

"Yes, Sizi hasn't been to court yet." Li Mingda blinked and looked at Li Shimin, making Li Shimin look at her more complicated.

"Ha!" Li Mingda covered his mouth and laughed, "Aye was tricked by Sizi."

Li Shimin was startled, then frowned helplessly, "You girl."

In fact, he had already heard that Sizi was teasing him. If anyone was greedy for power in his heart, he would not say it so bluntly.But it's not impossible for Sizi to be an official, but if he becomes a high-ranking official...

"Aye, I investigated the case so quickly and performed so well, shouldn't you give me some reward?"

"For my father, I am considering the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment—"

"Aye, I'm serious with you, I beg for your grace." Li Mingda tugged at Li Shimin's sleeve lightly, "I want to go to the cliff again."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's smiling eyes gradually calmed down, "Why did you go again, you seem to be obsessed with that place."

Li Mingda nodded without denying, "Falling from such a high cliff, I just scratched my head. Sizi thinks that place is not the place where Sizi was in danger, but the place where the rest of his life can rejoice in happiness."

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought it made sense, and repeatedly told her to be careful not to get close to the cliff, and asked Cheng Chubi to follow.

"Last time, your elder brother accompanied you. This time, your second elder brother will accompany you. It's his turn."

Li Shimin seemed to be talking casually, but Li Mingda knew in his heart that this was a deliberate arrangement by his father.

After Tian Hanshu came back from Li Shimin, he curiously asked his lord if he really intended to be an official.

"In this world, if there are women who are more talented than men, why must they be committed to the back house?" Li Mingda asked.

Tian Hanxi firmly agreed, "However, if this kind of thing is actually carried out, I am afraid that many people will obstruct it."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, so let me do this 'difficult'." Li Mingda smiled indifferently, and then figured out how he could have both ability and political integrity. At this time, Cheng Chubi came to report, saying that something from outside the palace had been brought in. , but I don't know where to put it.

"what?"

"At the beginning of the bet, Yuchi Baoqi lost the five thousand strings, and the few gentlemen lost the ten silks."

"Put it in the warehouse." Li Mingda said.

"There seems to be no warehouse in the Lizheng Palace." Tian Han asked why.

"I'm talking about the treasury." Li Mingda said surprisingly.

Cheng Chubi took the order and did as he was told.Not long after, the noise from Princess Jinyang naturally entered Li Shimin's ears.When Li Shimin heard that Li Mingda put all the winnings from the bet into the treasury, he couldn't help but feel that the child was both funny and comforting.

"Look at my son-in-law, even betting with his peers for fun, he never forgets to fill the treasury for me." The more Li Shimin thought about it, the happier he became. He felt that his daughter was amazing and needed to show off.

"Extremely!" Fang Qirui also felt happy, this Princess Jinyang is really the pistachio of a saint, no matter what she does, she is likable and makes people laugh.

Soon afterwards, Li Zhi also heard about his sister's 'filling' the treasury, so he came here to laugh at her.

Li Mingda is thick-skinned, not afraid of his jokes, but inspired by Li Zhi's ridicule to fight high.

"In the future, my official will be bigger than you, and I will definitely retaliate against you. Don't regret it!"

Li Zhi snorted and laughed twice, if he would believe this sister's nonsense, he would be a fool.

"Anyway, I have made money for the treasury by my own ability, what about you? Do you have one that relies only on your own hands?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Zhi was stunned for a while, thinking about it, he really didn't.

At this time, Zuo Qingmei came.

Seeing this, Li Mingda immediately stopped teasing Li Zhi, and took Zuo Qingmei to the room for a secret talk.

Li Zhi, who was left behind, was a little confused, but he suddenly realized that he was actually just a joke for his sister to pass the time just now?

Li Mingda: "Bai Lu has already been convicted. She has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple and will be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for disposal. You take the opportunity to interrogate her. I want to know the details of the year, whether Fifth Sister was really involved in Princess Suian's incident .”

"If the truth will separate the feelings of the sisters, now that Princess Changle has passed away, your lord still needs to know?" Zuo Qingmei asked for confirmation.

"Well, I have to decide what kind of attitude I should treat her in the future."

Zuo Qingmei agreed, and the next day, before Bai Lu was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and convicted, Zuo Qingmei interrogated her.

Some old people in the palace who have seen the world are very clear about Zuo Qingmei's means in the palace.When Sui Bailu saw Zuo Qingmei, he was terrified.Therefore, Zuo Qingmei's subsequent questions went very smoothly, and Bai Lu answered whatever she had.

Zuo Qingmei sorted out her answers and presented them to Li Mingda.

After reading Bai Lu's confession, Li Mingda rolled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.

Seeing this, Zuo Qingmei sighed, bent down to pick up the ball of paper thrown away by the princess.This thing can't be seen by outsiders casually, she should burn it in person to rest assured.

"No matter what happened in the past, now that she is gone, your lord will forgive her." Zuo Qingmei sighed.

Li Mingda: "How to forgive, if any of the above things happened to you, would you forgive her?"

Zuo Qingmei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "But your lord and her are biological sisters after all, now that she is gone, right and wrong will be buried in the earth, so let's just forget about it."

"Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Runan, Princess Nanping, Princess Sui'an... and I are all sisters. There is a difference between concubine and concubine, but aren't they human beings? Aren't they princesses conferred by the sage?" Li Mingda asked back.

Zuo Qingmei bowed her head and did not speak. After a while, Zuo Qingmei saw that the princess was still silent, sighed, and said slowly: "If Empress Changsun is alive, she will definitely deal with this matter fairly and will not favor others."

Li Mingda didn't speak. She sat behind the table with her chin propped on her chin. Then she picked up a pen and sketched a peony flower on the paper. There are three flowers in total.

Zuo Qingmei knew that your lord needs to calm down, so she kowtowed, and then quietly resigned.After she left the Lizheng Palace, she planned to go back to her residence, but after walking a few steps, she was suddenly blocked by floating dust.

Fang Qirui politely sneered at Zuo Qingmei, conveying the saint's will, asking her to go to the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction.

Inside the Hall of Two Rites.

Li Shimin stood majestically at the top with his hands behind his back, looking like an emperor.

Zuo Qingmei knelt down and waited for questioning.

"Do you still remember the death of Princess Runan?"

"The maidservant remembers very clearly, it was the maidservant who led him to discover the person immediately." Zuo Qingmei said.

Li Shimin seemed to be angry for a long time, and then turned around, staring at Zuo Qingmei unpredictablely.

"Re-investigate the cause of her death back then, and I will give you ten days."

Zuo Qingmei was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed, and then retreated in response.

Li Shimin lowered his head and stroked the white jade pendant in his hand.

After a while, Tian Hanshan came to report that King Jin and Princess Jinyang were already in the Lizheng Hall, ready to have dinner with him.

Li Shimin glanced down at the jade pendant, let go of his hand, and the jade pendant fell to the ground, no matter how many pieces it was broken into, he turned and left.

……

Li Li yelled "Aye" and jumped up from the bed.

The maid was busy serving water for Li Li.

Li Lizhi pushed her away, looked around in a panic, and then asked her where the son-in-law was going.

Not long after this, the eldest grandson rushed over.

Li Lizhi said to him: "I want to come back."

Chang Sun Chong looked at her indifferently, "Don't be joking."

"I want to come back. Sizi is right. If I die, I won't be Princess Changle. What's the use of me living a poor life outside? How can I be practical here. Even without you, I still have children, and I can't give up on them."

"In this situation, if the princess is not dead, she must die."
