When Liu Qingfeng left the next day, she really called Liu Minfang together.

Shen still remembered Liu Minfang's sudden toughness and indifference to her last night, she thought that Liu Minfang would refuse to leave with Liu Qingfeng, and would stay with Liu Huiru to resolve the suspicion first, and wait for Liu Huiru to explain to the mansion after returning home, but she didn't want Liu Qingfeng to open her mouth, so Liu Minfang agreed, and she didn't even go to see Liu Huiru from beginning to end.

Until Liu Minfang took Xiaohuan to get on the carriage back to Beijing, Shen still couldn't come back to his senses.

Feng Qiao learned that Mrs. Gao had already gone down the mountain before the Liu family left, so she didn't ask about the Liu family again, but went directly to the main hall with Mrs. Zhong, who stayed in the temple, to listen to Master Dushan's lectures.

Master Dushan is a kind old monk, who studied under the master of the Ten Directions, although he is not as advanced as the Ten Directions Buddhism, but he has his own opinions on the scriptures.

Feng Qiao didn't try to get close to Liu Huiru as Shen thought, or provoke her with words, so as to make the Liu family worse, but it was as if he forgot that they were still on the mountain, and after listening to the scriptures, he and Mrs. Zhong went out of the temple gate directly with Wan Huan and went to Fuyun Mountain to play.

Despite this, the Shen family still stayed by Liu Huiru's side and did not dare to leave, for fear of being drilled.

But Liu Huiru hated what Liu Qingfeng asked Pan Qiao to do, and she was even more resentful of the Shen family from time to time, thinking that she was spying on her, and even wanted to do something to the child in her belly.

The two seem to be calm, but secretly they are guarding against each other, Liu Huiru even asked Xinghong to quietly bribe people to go down the mountain to send a message to the second lady Liu in the house, and Liu Zheng, who is far away, begging them to protect her.

On the other side, after Mrs. Gao hurriedly returned to Beijing, she immediately looked for someone to meet Gao Lin, and after Gao Lin knew what happened in Jiyun Temple, he quietly went to Xiangwang's Mansion almost immediately.

When Xiao Minyuan was practicing martial arts, Liu Xi walked in quickly.

Xiao Minyuan let out a shout in his mouth, and after condensing his fist, when he unloaded his whole body's strength, Princess Xiang next to him immediately handed it over with a sweat towel, with a gentle expression: "Lord, wipe your sweat." ”

Xiao Minyuan nodded, took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Liu Xi and said, "What's the matter?"

"Gao Lin, a member of the ministry, wants to ask to see the prince. ”

Gao Lin?

Xiao Minyuan was a little unfamiliar with this name, and he had never heard Cen Zongguang mention it, he walked aside while wiping his sweat, and asked Princess Xiang to put on his coat for him and said, "What does he want to see this king?"

Hearing this, Liu Xi glanced at Princess Xiang and did not speak.

Seeing this, Princess Xiang tied Xiao Minyuan's clothes and belts, and said softly: "Lord, the concubine will go to the small kitchen first to see if breakfast is ready, and the princess will go to wash first, and then you can use the meal later." ”

She blessed her body, so she turned around and left directly, and when she passed by Liuxi, Liuxi hurriedly bowed her head and saluted.

After waiting for Princess Xiang to leave, Xiao Minyuan spoke: "Say, what's going on?"

Liu Xi said in a low voice: "It's about the eldest prince, yesterday during the Bon Festival, Liu Chi's wife took several young ladies of the Liu family to Jiyun Temple to participate in the puja, who knew that in the evening, Liu Zheng's daughter Liu Huiru accidentally fell into the water, and after being rescued, she was revealed to be pregnant on the spot." ”

"In terms of time, that kid, nine times out of ten, was left by the incident between the eldest prince and the Liu family last time. ”

Xiao Minyuan looked stunned, and after reacting to the meaning of Liu Xi's words, he instantly spoke: "What about Gao Lin?"

"Still waiting outside. ”

"Let him in. ”

Gao Lin is a man who does not look tall and in his early forties, and his demeanor is a little depressed, but his eyes are full of desire/hope.

After being summoned by King Xiang, Gao Lin knew that the news he brought really entered the eyes of King Xiang, and he was excited to be taken into King Xiang's mansion by Liu Xi, but he didn't dare to look away with his head hanging his head and cautious eyes, for fear of colliding with the nobles in the palace and ruining the opportunity that he had finally obtained.

When he saw Xiao Minyuan, Gao Lin hurriedly saluted: "Weichen has seen the prince." ”

"Let's get up. ”

Xiao Minyuan raised his hand, and after Gao Lin got up, he looked at him for a moment and asked directly without beating around the bush: "What the hell is going on, how do you know about Jiyun Temple?"

Gao Lin said in a low voice: "Xiaguan's wife is a person who is a Buddha person, and every year during various festivals, she will go to Jiyun Temple to offer incense and petition. Yesterday, after Miss Liu's sixth miss fell into the water, when it was revealed that she was pregnant, Xiaguan's wife was on the spot. ”

She witnessed this with her own eyes and felt that something was wrong, so she went back to the city early this morning and told the lower officials about it, and after hearing about it, the lower officials felt that this matter might help the prince, so they came to tell the prince. ”

Xiao Minyuan listened to Gao Lin's words and raised his eyes to look at him: "Why does Lord Gao think that this matter is beneficial to this king? And you are from the Ministry of Officials, if you really want to show goodwill, you should not choose this king, but your top boss." If there's really any news, why don't you go and tell Cen Shangshu first?"

Gao Lin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The lower official doesn't lie to the prince, what the prince wants, the lower official knows, the lower official admires the prince's ability, and is willing to go to the prince to serve the prince, as for Cen Shangshu...... he shook his head, "Does the prince think that the lower official hasn't gone to him?"

"Cen Shangshu is in a high position, he doesn't look down on me and other officials, and his words are full of contempt, if I go to him, I'm afraid that I won't even say anything, and I will be driven out by him directly. ”

"It's nothing for the lower officials to be humiliated, but if the matter of the prince is delayed, it is the sin of the lower officials, so the lower officials took the liberty to come to the palace to ask the prince directly. ”

Xiao Minyuan looked at Gao Lin when he heard this, and when he saw that he mentioned Cen Zongguang, his eyes were a little resentful, and he was extremely angry, and when he spoke, he was full of ridicule, his original suspicion went away a little, and his face eased down.

"The heart of the tall man this king understands, and will also take it to heart, if there is a success, it will not be a disadvantage to the tall man, and now please ask the tall man to tell the king the whole thing last night, this king is easy to calculate. ”

Gao Lin was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Okay." ”

Gao Lin already knew the whole thing from Mrs. Gao, and he carefully asked the people present, and he relayed what he heard from Mrs. Gao word for word before continuing:

At that time, the Shen family wanted to stop the county lord of Kangning, but he was ridiculed by the county lord of Kangning, and the sixth lady of the Liu family was panicked with abdominal pain, so the maid next to the county lord of Kangning diagnosed on the spot and concluded that she was pregnant in her womb. ”

Xiao Minyuan said in a deep voice: "Is that kid still there?"
