Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

In view of the matter of setting up the box during the day, Li Mingda stayed away from the box this time.First ask a craftsman who knows the mechanism to check, and then order someone to open the box.

The iron box is not big, six feet square, and there are some miscellaneous things in it.There are vases, jade wine cups, a corner of a golden scroll, a few scattered pearls, and so on.It is a pity that the surface of the pearl is hazy like fog because it has been soaked in water for a long time.The person who hid the treasure probably didn't know how to preserve the pearl.

The contents of the two iron boxes are the same, and they are all bits and pieces of a little value.There are some inconspicuous small ornaments in the palace, and there are also objects such as broken jade and broken hairpins.

There is relatively little rust in the box, which is not full yet, half empty.

After Zuo Qingmei looked at the contents of the box, she grabbed the big pearls in the box and said to Li Mingda: "This thing is not common, there is only Concubine Wei in the palace, four concubines and several princesses Only pearls of this size can be used."

Li Mingda looked at the box that was full, "There is much more rust on this box than the other one, and the iron on the side of this box is almost rotten, and it looks old. If you push forward three or four years, the palace The number of people who can get this kind of pearls will be more, and it is not easy to investigate."

Zuo Qingmei nodded, "It can also be investigated, but if the pearl is disposed of privately, it will be more troublesome."

"Yes." Li Mingda agreed, and continued to search the two iron boxes with his eyes. "The box is a bit heavy, and it should be a bit troublesome for a woman to go into the water to carry it. So this box is probably saved by the eunuch. Looking at the newness and value of the things in the box The degree should be a portrayal of his promotion step by step, and his status will not be too low now."

Zuo Qingmei realized this after hearing the words and went to observe again. The things really changed from old to new, and became more precious little by little.But those few big pearls were excluded. It is very likely that he got these few pearls out of accident.

"It's still your lord's insightful eye, observe carefully."

Li Mingda told everyone not to leak the news that the box was salvaged.Once it is verified that the news is leaked, everyone will be guilty of the same crime, and she will leave no one behind.

The guards quickly agreed without daring to say anything.

After Li Mingda had the two boxes of things quietly transported away, he left with Zuo Qingmei.

"It is very troublesome to investigate this matter, and once it is investigated, it will alarm the palaces, and it is easy to scare the snake. I think we can lure the snake out of the hole, spread false news, and then send some people here to wait for the rabbit."

Zuo Qingmei sighed that this method is good, and took the initiative to ask for orders to take charge of this matter.

Li Mingda was also relieved to leave the matter to Zuo Qingmei, and then he hurried back to the Lizheng Hall.

When he was leaving this morning, Li Mingda just heard Li Shimin's order from Fang Qirui, and he asked the king of Han, Li Yuanjia, to meet him when he was in Shenzheng.Now the time was almost up, Li Mingda hurried back.After inquiring that King Han had not arrived yet, Li Mingda changed into dignified clothes and ran to Li Shimin to wait.

Li Shimin was discussing matters with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others in the palace, during which Wei Zheng was mentioned.

"Why don't you see him today?" Li Shimin asked.

"I am sick and asked for leave, I have already reported to the Ministry of Education." Fang Xuanling implied that the letter of leave has been sent to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the stack of unhurried memorials stacked over there, and a trace of weariness flashed in his eyes.Immediately, he saw a pretty figure coming in from the door, walking slowly along the wall towards him, for fear of disturbing their discussion.

The arc of Li Shimin's mouth rose, and he became happy.

Fang Xuanling was still talking about Wei Zheng's condition, "Suddenly he became dizzy, coughed and breathless, and his whole body was weak. I asked a doctor to check his pulse, and said it was a relapse of an old disease, which was a bit serious."

"Why did it happen suddenly? I saw him alive and well yesterday." Seeing his daughter approaching him, Li Shimin smiled, then took Fang Xuanling's words and continued to ask.

Fang Xuanling: "I don't know about this, it's not written in the notebook."

Li Shimin recalled what happened to his family just now, and thought that Wei Zheng's failure to come because of his niece's mistakes just happened to be because he felt ashamed and ashamed.But who has never lost face, he is a courtier's face, so the emperor's face is not face!

How could Li Shimin miss the opportunity to find fault with Wei Zheng, and immediately expressed his concern, "Since it is so serious, let Doctor Gao take a look." Let's check whether his illness is true or not. Let the doctor take a look.

Fang Qirui agreed, and ordered to continue.Then Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling withdrew.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda who was standing beside him, "What day is it today? You came back so early and the case is over?"

Li Mingda shook his head, then hugged Li Shimin's arm, "Go for a walk?"

Li Shimin looked wearily at the stack of unfinished memorials and nodded.It just so happens that he is tired now, and has no interest in continuing to read, so it's good to go out for a change of mood.

Following Li Mingda's arrangement, Li Shimin went to admire the chrysanthemums in the garden with her.The autumn wind is refreshing, and the leaves in the woods are rustling. Many withered and yellow leaves are blown down by the wind, like a rain of yellow leaves, falling from the sky one after another.Li Mingda happily ran to stand under the tree and reached out to pick it up. The leaves not only fell on his hands, but also fell on her head and shoulders.

Seeing her mischievous appearance, Li Shimin found it very funny.

"How old you are, and still so unstable, be careful that you won't get married in the future."

Li Mingda put on the leaves on his head and ran to Li Shimin, "Everyone told me that those who want to favor me can go from Chang'an City to Anzhou City. How come I can't get married when I get to Aye? "

"There are so many people who want to admire you. Which ordinary people don't want to marry a princess? Can you marry? I'm talking about someone you can admire." Li Shimin said.

"That's not to be afraid, with Aye's help, he has no choice but to obediently obey orders if he grants a marriage order." Li Mingda said seriously.

"Twisted melons are not sweet. Your fifth sister is an example. Aye doesn't want you to be like her in the future." Li Shimin sighed worriedly, raised his hand and took the leaves off Li Mingda's head, "You are Aye's heart and soul. Aye will never let you suffer."

But Li Shimin was not sure about how to make his son truly happy.He wasn't sure what was the best for Sizi.

Li Shimin watched Li Mingda pick flowers again, with a smile on his eyes, thinking that his daughter would bring him the most happiness when he was lively.By the way, Li Shimin recalled the names of several aristocratic families in his heart.

"Did Xiao Kai accompany you to investigate the case today? How is he? Can he help?" Li Shimin asked.

"Alright... okay." Li Mingda agreed.

Li Shimin could hear the far-fetchedness in Li Mingda's words, and thought about it, this Xiao Kai also had many shortcomings, and it would be impossible for him to get rid of them as well, so he must have wronged Sizi.

Li Shimin immediately wanted to replace Xiao Kai's candidate.Although Zhou Xiaohe was an unruly girl in the Wei family, this girl was not considered a Wei family member, she was just a relative who came to visit her.Wei Shuyu is the most handsome, talented and knowledgeable person. Although Wei Zheng has more opinions, he is upright and has high morals. The quality of the eldest son he educates will not be bad.But this child also has faults, Li Shimin has already seen it, he is too arrogant, even more proud than Fang Yizhi.Fang Yizhi like that, he felt a little too much, let alone Wei Shuyu.

However, everyone has shortcomings. If Wei Shuyu can be trained to correct this defect, there will be no other major problems to pick on. It can be called perfect.

Li Shimin's heart suddenly became clear, and he thought about going back to investigate Xiao Kai's performance. If it didn't work, he would quickly replace Wei Shuyu.

At this time, the palace people came to report, and the king of Han asked to see him.Li Shimin just remembered about Han Wang, so he simply asked him to meet here directly.

When King Han came over, Li Shimin sent Li Mingda to play.

Li Mingda agreed, so he stuffed the freshly picked flowers into Li Shimin's hands and went further away.

Li Shimin looked at the bouquet of flowers in his hand, it was broken and small, and he didn't know how she picked it.Fang Qirui stepped forward at this time, and took the flowers with a smile.

"Your lord is being naughty again." Fang Qirui sighed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda who was shuttled among the flowers over there, smiled, and told Fang Qirui to go back to the Lizheng Palace and put the flowers into the bottle.

Fang Qirui agreed with a smile, and immediately clenched the flower in his hand even tighter, for fear that he would accidentally loosen it and drop it on the ground.

Li Yuanjia has arrived, and respectfully stepped forward to salute Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked towards the gazebo to the west, and then said to Li Yuanjia, "Let's go over there and talk."

After the hatchback sat down, Li Shimin asked about Concubine Han's pregnancy, and Li Yuanjia's face was full of happiness when he mentioned his wife.Li Shimin couldn't help but also smiled, but his face was a little serious.

Li Shimin brought up the corruption case of the governor of Nazhou, "A few days ago, some people transported corpses to the government office to complain. Just like Dingzhou, the governor's corruption caused a lot of grievances. Now that Ma Zhou is there, he can no longer control it. It needs a person with royal status to appease. Nazhou can't have any more accidents, I must send the person I trust the most. The choice is carefully considered, but I still feel that among the royal families in Chang'an City, it is none other than you belongs to."

Li Yuanjia immediately took orders, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

"It's just that Princess Han is suffering. She is pregnant and will be separated from you."

Li Yuanjia hurriedly stated that it was his duty as a courtier to serve the court, and the princess would understand and support him.

Li Shimin nodded, "Of course I don't doubt her heart. But a pregnant woman still needs special care after all. You should let her go back to her mother's house for a few days first."

"But folks pay attention, this woman can't stay at her mother's house overnight when she returns home." Li Yuanjia worried.

"You are also a well-educated person, and you still care about these things." Li Shimin smiled, "Then if the son-in-law and daughter come from afar to visit the father-in-law's family, they will not be able to leave before they are warmed up after entering the door? Don't be particular about it." What nonsense and taboo, this matter is my decree to order you."

Li Yuanjia hurriedly made amends and said yes, "Actually, I didn't care about these things, but someone said it, and said that these things are not good, so it is inevitable to care about it. Now that your majesty has mentioned something, the minister understands. It is still after the minister left. Only when someone who can make her feel at ease is by her side to take care of her can she be safe, and the minister can rest assured."

"That's it." Li Shimin patted Li Yuanjia's shoulder, "You still don't feel sorry for women, you have to learn more in the future."

Li Yuanjia nodded in agreement.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, Li Mingda came back with another bunch of flowers.

Li Mingda hurriedly met Li Yuanjia, and then handed him the flowers in his hand.

Li Yuanjia was startled, and reached out to take the flowers.

"Auntie, I just heard from my father that Uncle Tang can't coax women, so I can teach you one. Women like flowers." Li Mingda said with a smile.

"Flowers? But your flowers are too ugly, how can you call your uncle to get them?" Li Shimin teased her.

"It's not as beautiful as peony or something. But as long as the uncle took it back and said to his aunt: 'After I saw some beautiful flowers in the garden, I thought of you and couldn't help but pick them up. For you.' As long as my cousin is willing to say that, I guarantee that my aunt will be happy. The important thing is not the ugliness of the flower, but the heart of the flower giver." Li Mingda said.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanjia looked at each other and laughed.

"Don't you agree, let's make a bet." Li Mingda said.

Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Li Yuanjia, "Are you betting or not?"

"This..." Li Yuanjia turned his eyes and saw the little girl looking at him excitedly. The saint was also interested in this, so he could only cooperate with him and said with a smile, "Gambling."

Li Mingda immediately bid farewell to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was stunned, unable to react for a while, and asked her, "Where are you going?"

"Follow Tang Shu back home." Li Mingda said, "Otherwise how would I know if I won this bet or not?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Mingda with deep meaning in his eyes, "So you want to follow your cousin back home?"

"Yes." Li Mingda smiled, and then blinked at Li Shimin with her bright eyes.

Li Shimin suddenly realized and nodded, "Okay, then go, anyway, you have never been to your cousin's house. But since you are going to bother, you must bring some good things from the palace to see your aunt by the way."

"Okay, Aye rewarded me, I'll give it to you." Li Mingda said.

Li Yuanjia was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly saluted: "There is no need to bother the princess to make troubles. After I go back, I will talk to the princess according to the princess's words. After the result is obtained, I can send someone into the palace to report back."

"How can I do that? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, Sizi will inevitably suspect that my uncle is playing tricks." Li Mingda half-jokingly said.

Li Shimin shook his head pretending to be helpless, and sighed: "This child is really naughty, you don't need to pay attention to her."

Li Yuanjia hurriedly praised the princess for being lovely and lively, so she immediately took Li Mingda back to the mansion.

Before Li Yuanjia left, he asked Li Shimin the exact time of his departure.

Li Shimin: "After packing up, we can start our journey. There is no need to be in a hurry. It can be done within four or five days."

Li Yuanjia promised to leave with Li Mingda after thanking Li Shimin again.

Li Mingda looked back at Li Shimin after walking a few steps, and stuck out his tongue at him.

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, turned his head and complained to Fang Qirui: "I can't have dinner with her tonight."

Seeing Li Shimin's clear expression, Fang Qirui asked with some doubts: "This is your lord?"

"Investigating the case." Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied in a quiet tone.

"King Han has a problem?" Fang Qirui asked in surprise, "If he is really unclean, Nazhou..."

"Let's see what Sizi can find out first." Li Shimin turned cold and left with his hands behind his back, rushing to Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Li Mingda first went back to Lizheng Hall and changed into clothes for riding a horse, and then left with Li Yuanjia.

Li Yuanjia was riding a car, but Li Mingda was riding a horse outside, which made Li Yuanjia feel a little embarrassed.But the princess is a generation younger than him, and she doesn't care about such small things, so Li Yuanjia gradually felt relieved.He and his concubine Fang are currently living in another courtyard outside Chang'an City, and they also avoid the entertainment and chores among the noble ladies of Chang'an City in order to allow Fang to raise his baby with peace of mind.

Li Mingda originally thought that after Li Yuanjia left the palace, he would return to the Bieyuan immediately, but he didn't want the carriage but went to Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Only then did Li Yuanjia remember that he forgot to explain this to the princess, and explained the reason to Li Mingda through the window of the carriage.

"So you planned to visit Mr. Zheng's condition." Li Mingda nodded without any objection.

When the group arrived at Zheng Guogong's mansion, the doorkeeper's servant wanted to report back immediately.Turning around, there was a well-dressed man dismounting from his horse, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Princess Jinyang.The doorkeeper was immediately dumbfounded and knelt down.

Li Mingda walked briskly to the gate with his hands behind his back, and sent the kneeling servants to report quickly, so don't be dumbfounded.

The servants stood up with pale faces, while some rushed in to report, while others respectfully ushered the two royal guests into the mansion.

Mrs. Pei is taking care of Wei Zheng's medicine before his bed.

Wei Zheng drank half and vomited half. After Pei Shi wiped his mouth, he coughed violently.

Mrs. Pei hurriedly beat his back, but couldn't help complaining: "Who would have thought that you, a humeral minister who is so powerful in the court and dares to pick on saints, would be afraid of drinking this bitter soup, and it would be more embarrassing to talk about it." It's a joke. If you don't drink enough medicine, you won't recover easily. Next time you do this again, I'll ask someone to boil two bowls for you."

Hearing Pei's words, Wei Zheng felt a bit of bitterness on his sickly face.At this time, a servant came to report that King Han and Princess Jinyang had arrived.

As soon as Wei Zheng heard the words Princess Jinyang, he glared at Mrs. Pei and began to cough violently.

When Mrs. Pei heard that Princess Jinyang was coming, her expression was not very good.After all, what happened to Zhou Xiaohe just happened, and she was scolded and reprimanded by Mr. Hao last night for pursuing this matter.In the end, Lang Jun was so angry that his old illness relapsed, and he is now bedridden.

Thinking of the embarrassing scene of being exposed by the princess on the spot, Mrs. Pei felt so ashamed.Anyone who wants face doesn't want to bring up this matter again in a short time.But Princess Jinyang took the initiative to come to the door at this time and appeared in front of them. Was she deliberately mocking?To humiliate?

Being stared at by Wei Zheng made Pei even more shameless, and because of this, she felt resentment in her heart.Of course, what she hated and resented the most was Zhou Xiaohe, the culprit.

Wei Wanshu came in with a plate of candied fruit. She originally wanted to get something sweet for her father who had taken the medicine, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard the news that Princess Jinyang had come to the residence.She put down the candied fruit in a hurry, and ran to grab Pei's arm with a nervous expression.

Pei Shi didn't know what to do, but she still patted her daughter's hand to comfort her.

Wei Zheng finished coughing and took a sip of water. At this time, Wei Shuyu hurried over after getting the news.He looked at his helpless mother and sister, then at his father in the sick bed, hurried to help Wei Zheng, then turned to Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu and said, "Isn't it just my cousin's business? What are you afraid of? She is not our family. Jinyang The princess is not a person who is jealous. She came with King Han today, there must be other reasons, and she will never find fault because of this matter. If she really wanted to find fault, she would not be so in the palace. I easily let you go."

Wei Zheng frowned fiercely, although he hated his wife for not giving him face, but after all, he is his wife who has been with him for many years, of course he has to protect her.

"Shuyu is right. The princess has a good temper, so she won't come here to trouble you."

Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu finally relaxed after hearing what their father and son said.

Wei Shuyu and the princess were playmates since childhood, and Wei Zheng often went to the Lizheng Hall to meet the saint.Both of them had a lot of contact with the princess, so Pei and Wei Wanshu were naturally convinced.

After the whole family comforted each other, King Han and Princess Jinyang arrived just like this.

Wei Zheng was excused due to illness, and after the rest of the people saw the ceremony, Li Yuanjia hurried to Wei Zheng's bed and asked him how his condition was.

Wei Zheng hurriedly replied with a respectful smile: "It's an old problem, and it's always easy to make mistakes in the past two years. I'm really sorry to make the king worry about me."

"If you say this, you will be out of touch. You and I have been friends for many years. When you are sick, I should come to visit you. When I was sick last time, you also went to see me. If you are so polite to me, Be careful that I don't recognize you as a friend." Li Yuanjia pretended to be angry, and then he comforted Wei Zheng to recover from his illness, and he was still waiting for Wei Zheng to recover before drinking the good wine he brewed.

Wei Zheng smiled and said yes.

While the two were talking, Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu, who were standing stiffly by the bed, were still a little nervous, sneaking glances at Li Mingda over there from time to time.

Li Mingda paid attention to Wei Zheng and Han Wang with a straight face, and did not go to see Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu, which actually made their mother and daughter feel guilty.

Li Mingda then felt Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu secretly staring at him.In my heart, I knew why the two of them would act like this, just in response to the saying "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", the two of them are so afraid of her because of their bad mentality.

Li Mingda didn't want to look at them, and kept his original movements, looking at Wei Zheng without saying a word.

After King Han finished speaking, Wei Zheng looked at Li Mingda, wanting to apologize.But before he opened his mouth, the princess spoke first.

"Wei Gong likes to recover from his illness, so don't think too much. If you don't understand the taboo of meditation, you will get better quickly if you are happy." When Li Mingda said the last sentence, his words were very gentle, as if coaxing a Children are average.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling quite panicked, and thanked the princess repeatedly.

"Take care of your illness, the saint will miss you this year!"

As soon as Li Mingda mentioned the saint, Wei Zheng suddenly regained his energy, and quickly responded, you are very grateful to him.

Pei and Wei Wanshu felt a little relieved when they heard that the princess was only concerned about Wei Zheng's condition and nothing else.When the princess was about to leave with King Han, the mother and daughter really felt relieved.Then with a smile on his face, he sent Li Mingda off sincerely.

After Li Yuanjia walked out for a few steps, he thought about it, and had something to say to Wei Zheng, so he hurried back.Li Mingda was waiting for him outside.Wei Shuyu, Pei Shi and Wei Wanshu also stood outside together like Li Mingda at this time.

Wei Shuyu looked at the quiet and speechless Princess Jinyang, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

For some unknown reason, he said to Li Mingda mysteriously: "My sister has always wanted to say something to your lord."

Wei Wanshu froze for a moment, and looked at her brother in great perplexity.

Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows and gave Wei Wanshu a wink.

Immediately, Wei Wanshu was watched by the princess, she hurriedly saluted, and asked if Li Mingda could take a step to speak.

Li Mingda nodded, and walked a few steps away with Wei Wanshu.

Wei Wanshu immediately knelt down to apologize to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda squinted at her slightly, "If it's about Zhou Xiaohe, it's over, so don't mention it again."

"It's not about Zhou Xiaohe, it's me who should apologize to the princess and repent." Wei Wanshu put her hands on the ground and sincerely kowtowed to Li Mingda.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pei was a little anxious and wanted to come over, but was stopped by Wei Shuyu.

Li Mingda looked at Wei Wanshu quietly, waiting for her next words.

Wei Wanshu: "Actually, my cousin would do that kind of thing in the palace, and it's also my responsibility. I shouldn't feel sorry for her after listening to my cousin's wishes, feel sorry for her, and can't help but want to help her."

"Help her? What do you mean?" Li Mingda asked.

"It was I who encouraged my cousin to pursue Fang Shizi, and it was I who told her that Fang Shizi would also appear at the Qingfeng Banquet. I really thought that what I said would not lead to any results. I thought she was a young daughter, and at most she was rushing Go ahead, get closer to admire Fang Shizi. Who would have expected that she would have such a bold plan," Wei Wanshu then kowtowed again, "Later, in the middle of the incident, when I saw her being questioned by the princess, I guessed her in my heart. She may have done something terrible and impulsive, but she chose to avoid thinking about her guilt and chose to defend her."

After hearing what Wei Wanshu had said, Li Mingda was silent for a while, and then asked, "Did you and Zhou Xiaohe make any plans on the day of the Qingfeng Banquet to help her?"

"Help," Wei Wanshu admitted, "I taught her to play the piano, and I also gave her a poem I wrote, so that if she has the opportunity to perform in front of Fang Shizi, she can perform better, so that the two Fang Shizi was very impressed. Now that I think about it, this poem is obviously fake, but I allowed her to cheat."

Wei Wanshu then kowtowed again, sincerely admitting her mistake.

Li Mingda heard that the "plan" she said was like this, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and felt that there was no need to worry about it.It is inevitable that the youngest daughter's family will talk about pursuing the person they like in the back house, and they will always figure out some ways.It was rare that she was willing to be honest, and even if she pursued this kind of matter, she would not be able to pursue it.She still has a case to investigate right now, so she didn't want to focus on such trivial matters, so she asked Wei Wanshu to get up.

However, Wei Wanshu reminded her of one thing. After Li Mingda dismissed Wei Wanshu, he turned around and went to Han Wang with an excuse.After entering the room, she asked Wei Zheng if there was a shortage of people in the court recently, if there was anyone he would like to recommend.

Wei Zheng and Li Yuanjia were stunned when they heard this.

Li Yuanjia asked Li Mingda puzzled, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

"Sometimes when I accompanied the sage to review the memorials, I would listen to him lament this question. I couldn't answer it a few times, so I thought I would give it a chance next time and show it off. But I don't know which officials in the court are more capable and who is better. Naturally, I came to Duke Wei to ask for a worry-free answer, to take advantage of it." Li Mingda explained half-jokingly.

Wei Zheng also laughed, and said to Li Mingda: "It just so happens that there is a candidate named Chu Mingyi, who works as a member of the Ministry of Officials. I have checked that this person's conduct is not bad."

"Chu Mingyi? What a coincidence!" Li Mingda said in surprise.

"Could it be that your lord knows him?" Wei Zheng asked.

"I don't know him, but there are some rumors about him in the palace."

The name of Wailang, a member of Chu Mingyi District's official department, can be passed down to the harem, which is not a good thing for a foreign minister.Wei Zheng hurriedly asked the princess what was the reason.

"I heard that he is Wu Cairen's adoptive father. Now it's time for the official department's performance evaluation. Wu Cairen is very busy about promoting his adoptive father." Li Mingda explained, and seeing Wei Zheng's surprised face, she Then he added, "Of course, I also heard gossip from the maids around me, but it may not be credible. Rumors are always true and false. I suddenly heard you say Chu Mingyi today, and I remembered it."

Wei Zheng had a plan in mind, and after he said goodbye to King Han and Princess Jinyang, he immediately ordered someone to re-investigate the relationship between Chu Mingyi and Wu Cairen.Not long after, he found out that Chu Mingyi was indeed Wu Cairen's adoptive father.Wei Zheng immediately called the entourage he sent to investigate Chu Mingyi's character, and asked him why he didn't tell him about it.

After several times of questioning by Wei Zheng, the servant finally admitted that it was Wei Wanshu who bribed them with money to speak well for Chu Mingyi.

Wei Zheng was furious, he never thought that his daughter would cheat him.She immediately called Wei Wanshu to question her. Wei Wanshu was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she had to admit it because of all the witnesses.

Wei Shuyu was also very puzzled why she did this.

Wei Wanshu explained that Wu Cairen and she used to be both teachers and friends.She is grateful to Wu Cairen for his kindness in teaching her, "So when she asked me something, I couldn't help but want to repay her."

"Confused!" Wei Shuyu scolded her immediately.

Pei also said, "You are really confused this time. She has already entered the palace. No matter how much kindness we had with you before, we can't have contact with him. Once this kind of thing is discovered by others, it is said that we colluded Concubine..."

"Enforce the family law and be banned for half a year." Wei Zheng said with a livid face.

"Mr. Lang, do you want someone to beat our daughter with a wooden stick? The son is nothing more than a rough skinned man, but Wan Shu is a daughter and cannot withstand beatings. Once her body is broken, what will happen?" Do it." Pei cried, "Wanshu's fault is that her mind is too pure and kind, and she always does her best for her relatives and friends, with all her heart and soul, but she doesn't know that these people have evil thoughts in their hearts. It is not worthy of her. Treat them. My poor daughter, you are just too kind!"

Mrs. Pei hugged Wei Wanshu, weeping hard, Wei Shuyu also begged for mercy, Wei Zheng had no choice but to remove the restraint and ground her.

Wei Wanshu kowtowed to Wei Zheng, "My daughter knows her mistake, but if my father obeys his mother and elder brother, the punishment for Wanshu will be too light. Wanshu begs her father to let Wanshu go to the Plum Blossom Temple outside the city to pray for half a year, so that she can reflect Stupid mistakes I've made these days."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that his daughter was well-behaved and took the initiative to plead guilty, so sincere.He became gentle with her, and then nodded in agreement.Wei Wanshu immediately ordered someone to pack up and leave today.

"In such a hurry? It's already so late today, why don't you wait until tomorrow, and I'll take you there in person." Pei said distressedly.

"Since I have said it, I must do it right away. Fang is worthy of being the daughter of the Wei family." After Wei Wanshu finished speaking, she said goodbye to Wei Zheng, Pei Shi, and Wei Shuyu.

……

Besides, after Li Mingda went out of the city with Li Yuanjia's carriage, he saw a group of guards coming on horseback.

Li Mingda immediately recognized the leader as the guard of the Eastern Palace.

The guard also recognized Li Mingda and King Han's carriage, and quickly dismounted to salute.

"Where did the call come from and what did it go to?"

"His Highness is going to hold a sacrifice for Empress Changsun at the Plum Blossom Temple."

"The memorial day has passed, how can we prepare?" Li Mingda asked.

"His Royal Highness said that it was prepared in advance for the Queen's birthday and Qingming Festival next year."

Li Mingda nodded, her elder brother was always filial to his mother, she knew it, so she waved the guards to be serious about their work.

Afterwards, Li Mingda followed King Han to the Bieyuan on the outskirts of his city.

King Han's Bieyuan was built by mountains and rivers, it felt a bit remote, but the place could be larger and very quiet.

Before the two arrived, there was a guard shouting at the door to announce, after they dismounted from the horse and the car, the door opened, and a handsome man came out from inside.

Li Mingda looked at the room curiously: "Why are you here?"

Fang Yizhi: "This is the home of my eldest sister and brother-in-law, so I naturally come here to visit. What about your lord, why did you come?"

"This is the home of my cousin and aunt, so I can naturally come to visit." Li Mingda said to Fang Yizhi, with his hands behind his back, while looking at the slender Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yi just laughed.

Li Yuanjia hurriedly invited them into the mansion, because he was the oldest, so he walked ahead and led the way.

Li Mingda took the opportunity to ask Fang Yizhi why he laughed.

"Don't the princess feel coke?"

"Coke what?"

"From the perspective of my elder sister's seniority."

"What seniority..." Li Mingda muttered casually, and suddenly realized what Fang Yizhi said about 'seniority'.Fang Yizhi's eldest sister is her aunt, so from this point of view, Fang Yizhi can be regarded as her uncle's.

"Bold Fang Yizhi, you actually want to take advantage of this princess." Li Mingda stopped and said to him, "Kneel down and salute, so that I can pay my respects to this princess."

"Your lord said that you were Jiujiu Lang when you wore men's clothes, but you don't have to treat yourself as a princess, so you don't have to be polite." Fang Yi said 'reasonably and well-founded'.

"You..." Li Mingda pursed his lips, and suddenly came up with an idea, "But do you remember that you and Yuchi Baoqi and others lost in the horse riding competition, and each owed me a 'request'. Now I I just ask you to kneel down and apologize to me."

Li Mingda is very 'righteous'.

"Princess, are you sure you want to use this request? I just learned about Shi Hongyu's hiding place." Fang Yi said straight.

"Where is it?" Li Mingda was immediately distracted.
