he cave entrance to the edge of the woods.Everyone forgot about life and death, forgot to be afraid, only knowing that they must kill the wolf in front of them!And the wolf pack was utterly defeated,..."You're saying...saying..." Liu Zhiheng's face flushed red, and for a long time he couldn't utter a complete sentence. 。It was exactly as he had guessed, too shocking!Mr. Wen also tightly grabbed Li Lao Er's sleeve, took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you know anything about what happened"Li Lao Er glanced at the door and whispered, "I don't know, I don't know anything..." 。Or, I guess I can't say... 。Just remember, don't rush. 。Even if the Second Prince were made Crown Prince, as long as he hadn't ascended to the throne, there was no guarantee that things wouldn't change. 。“That’s pretty much the answer!Liu Zhiheng's heart was beating so fast it almost jumped out of his chest. He stammered, "Does the Marquis know Does the Marquis know about this variable"Li Laoer nodded. “The Marquis should know, even the Miss might have guessed some." 。But this matter was tightly covered up, who knows who died. 。It's best for us to pretend we know nothing, live a low-key life, and just wait for the dust to settle. 。This day, originally didn't know when it would come, but now that the Noble Consort has acted to die, it is estimated that it won't be far off. 。Liu Zhiheng and Tong Wen looked at each other, both craning their necks, swallowing all their questions and surprise along with their saliva. 。Li Laoer wasn't wrong. Such a big secret, if spread out, would definitely shake the court and the wild. 。Now that they have advance notice and don't blindly choose sides, that's already pretty good. 。"I understand, Grandfather, rest assured. Our family are staunch loyalists to the Emperor." 。Liu Zhiheng quickly stated his position. 。Mr. Wen laughed even more, "I have always shared weal and woe with your family." 。"After hearing this, Old Li chatted idly for a while and then let Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng go back to rest." 。Actually, how could these two people possibly sleep 。Especially Liu Zhiheng, who almost rushed home as soon as dawn broke to consult his father. 。Mr. Wen didn't have many relatives in Xindu, but he had a few close friends there. 。He pondered on how to subtly hint at his friend, but feared it might spread if he did. He decided that recently, he would visit more often. 。If your friends do anything unwise, try to stop them in time. 。Without saying how Mr. Wen and the Liu family planned to proceed, only that as soon as Li Er arrived at the yamen, he saw everyone whispering in private. When they occasionally met his gaze, they would awkwardly shut their mouths. 。Li Lao Er immediately guessed something had happened, and Zheng He, who was serving him, was also quick-witted. He immediately went out to investigate. 。Soon, Zheng He came back, his face looking very grim. 。"Master, last night when the County Princess and Third Princess returned to the palace, a guard insisted on searching their carriage frame, which offended both the County Princess and Princess. He even tore the Princess's skirt. " 。The county princess and the princess went to the Imperial Study. The Emperor immediately punished the deputy commander Qu and several soldiers, sending them all to the Department of Punishment for interrogation. 。"What" Li Lao Er immediately became anxious and asked, "Was the county princess injured" Zheng He quickly shook his head. "Master, don't worry, the county princess is fine." 。"On the contrary, Shui Ling managed to injure several soldiers!"
"Well done, you dogs who look down on people!" Li Lao Er's face turned green with rage. After spinning in place for a while, he could no longer hold it in and said, "I can't let this stand. Someone has to go to the palace and check on the princess. Otherwise, I won't rest easy." 。"Besides, these people wouldn't have made things difficult for the county princess and the third princess for no reason. Investigate thoroughly and see who is behind this." 。"Yes, Master. " 。Zheng He immediately agreed, his mind racing as he considered which personnel would be most suitable to deploy. 。Over the past few years, under the guise of relief efforts, the Li family has extended their network of informants to cover most of Xin Du. 。It's not that everything is transparent before Li Family. At the very least, the Li Family knows what they want to know, and no one can hide too much from them. 。From the street sweepers to the children selling snacks, the shop assistants, farmers delivering firewood and vegetables, even the thugs and petty criminals, after several twists and turns, could all be called upon by the Li family. 。To be honest, Baihuayuan sells flowers and makes a profit. The money earned is spent back into the business, so it's a kind of return...Li La Er ignored Zheng He's arrangement and went straight to Liu's house. 。Lao Tai Li and Tao Hongying were not at home, Wan'er was too young, none of them were suitable for entering the palace. 。Now, he could only ask Mrs. Liu to help him out. 。Old Master Liu was so startled by the news his son brought back that his white beard trembled, and he took a sip of tea to calm himself. 。Upon suddenly hearing that Li Lao Er was coming, he became even more anxious. 。Upon hearing the reason, he readily agreed. 。The Liu family was also one of the top families in Xindu. Liu Zhiheng, because he was credited with planting high-yielding crops for the first time, was awarded an official position. 。When a man is honored and his wife is esteemed, Liu's wife in particular has some face. Going to the palace for a visit wouldn't be difficult even if Empress Dowager or Noble Consort made things hard on her. 。Mrs. Liu was invited to the study and upon hearing this, immediately said, "Master, don't worry, I will go to the palace right away." 。My cousin from my mother's side sent a box of fans the other day. The weather is hot, so I took them to Princess and the County Princess to play with, it's just right. 。"
Mr. Li Er stood up and bowed, "Thank you brother-in-law and sister-in-law for your kindness." 。" Master, you're too kind. For so many years, I have treated the county princess as my own daughter." 。As the princess is wronged now, it's only right for me to go and see her. 。Mrs. Liu said a couple of words and then hurried back to prepare. 。She quickly changed into another dress, took two maids with her, carrying things, and went to the palace by carriage. 。If things were as they used to be, it would be quite a hassle for the wife of an official to enter the palace. 。But now that the Empress is seriously ill, the Dowager Empress feigns death, and the Consort is weak and unable to manage affairs, it has become much easier to enter the palace. 。Madam Liu only offered a visiting card and slipped a purse to the eunuch at the palace gate. The card was sent to Zhi Lan Palace, and Caiyun and Shui Ling immediately came out to greet her. 。As for the soldiers guarding the palace gate, after last night's bitter lesson, even if they had ten thousand courage, they wouldn't dare to stop them. 。After all, their colleagues and vice-commanders are still in the Department of Punishment, their lives and deaths unknown... Jia Yin heard that Madam Liu had come to the palace to visit, she was very surprised, and after thinking about it, she guessed that last night's incident had been discovered by her family. 。She didn't want her family to be distracted at this time, so she kept it a secret. 。
Unexpectedly, it still didn't succeed.
When Liu's wife arrived at Zhilan Palace, she saw Jiayin in a light green dress, with two small flowerpins in her hair. She was smiling brightly to greet her. 。All her worries vanished the moment she took this step. 。"Funiu'er!" She stepped forward and grasped Jia Yin's hand, looking her up and down, and smiling, "It's been a long time, my child. You seem to have lost some weight." 。Since Grandmother and Mother left Xindu, no one had called her by her nickname for a long time. When Jia Yin suddenly heard it, she felt very familiar. 。She took the initiative to hug Mrs. Liu, acting coquettishly and smiling, "Auntie, you've lost weight too. You look even younger and prettier than before." 。" Haha, you little one, you're still as sweet and well-behaved as ever! " Madam Liu was coaxed into a smile. She turned to look at the maids and eunuchs around her and changed her tone, "Miss, take me to pay respects to the princess." 。"Well then, mother-in-law, follow me. " 。Jia Yin supported Lady Liu all the way into the main hall. Princess San, remembering what happened last night, hadn't had much energy all day. 。At this moment, seeing that Jiayin valued Liu's wife, she reluctantly accompanied her and said a few words. 。Jia Yin decided to let her rest and then led Madam Liu to a side hall. 。s still couldn't help but keep looking at the valley, often plucking off tender leaves. 。Time seemed to crawl by, each moment stretching like an hour, a year even. It felt like an eternity waiting, b...
