Zhao Mo's birthday has not yet arrived, and Li Yanchao in the Yali of Shangyuan County has already ushered in the guests of the capital first.

Li Yanchao was so sick that he had a lot of improvement, but he couldn't get up yet, so he could only barely sit up to receive guests, and in order to hide people's eyes, he drove out all the people who could wait and take care of him out of the house early.

But he looked at the person in front of him, but he was a little confused: "What...... Why are you here?"

If the Shu Wangfu wants to do something unsightly to the prince, it must be hidden, so the one sent must be a first-class confidant. Li Yanchao originally thought that even if the person who came was not the chief steward of the Shu Mansion or the confidant of the Shu princess, he should be the right-hand man of the Tu family. As a result, he didn't expect that what appeared in front of him was the wife of the head of the Tu family and the mother of the princess of Shu, Mrs. Tu, who accompanied Zhen Li.

Although Li Yanchao is the son of the daughter of the Tu family, because his brother Li Yansheng follows Mrs. Tu's grandson as a follower all the year round, their parents often send things to the people around Mrs. Tu for the sake of their son, so as to ask them to take more care of Li Yansheng. This Zhen Li is one of the most important objects of their gifts, so Li Yanchao is quite familiar with him, and knows that although he is very valued by Mrs. Tu, he rarely interferes in the affairs of the Tu family on weekdays, but he takes care of his private property for his mother and helps her run errands, and he can only be regarded as a second-rate person in the Tu family.

What an important matter is plotting against the crown prince? How could the princess of Shu send such a person? No matter how capable Zhen Li is, he is just helping to take care of the industry, how can he do such a thing?!

Li Yanchao couldn't help coughing several times, and glanced at the people accompanying Zhen Lili behind him, but he didn't recognize any of them, looking at them all with lean figures, strong limbs, ordinary appearance, cold eyes, and an uncomfortable aura on his body. Li Yanchao glanced at it twice, and he couldn't help but shudder.

In front of Li Yanchao, Zhen Li didn't seem to have lost his previous politeness and politeness, just glanced at him lightly, and said: "Why is Grand Prince Li so sick? I don't even know how to take care of my body, how can I do things for my nobles?"

Li Yanchao couldn't help but ask more: "Steward Zhen, princess...... Really told you what you're going to do?"

Zhen Li straightened his face: "How does the princess act, how can you ask? You just need to tell what you know!"

His attitude was so arrogant, which made Li Yanchao feel a little uncomfortable. But behind him stood the princess of Shu, it was Li Yanchao who was bent on clinging to the nobleman who was ingratiating, so he couldn't get a seizure, so he had to swallow this breath depressedly.

During Li Yanchao's serious illness, his master and servants were worried that what he ordered would involve Yongjiahou, and they were afraid that they would offend the nobles and it would be difficult to end it, so they coaxed him to say that he did what he wanted, but in fact, he didn't do anything, just went through the motions and finished it. However, his condition later improved and he regained consciousness, and when he asked about the follow-up information with concern, he soon discovered the tricks of the master and the domestic servants, and he was furious on the spot, and immediately ordered someone to carry out his order.

However, at this time, it was already nearly ten days later, and what traces of spiders and worms could be found? There was very little information that could be found, and the clues to the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his party were completely broken. Li Yanchao was worried, and Zhen Li and others came. Even though he knew that it might cause dissatisfaction to the other party, he could only bite the bullet and tell everything he knew.

Zhen Li was really very dissatisfied: "Master Li, that's all the news you have found out? Since the prince has disappeared without a trace, where do you tell me to find him? Even if you lost someone that day and didn't find out when the prince of Liao was dropped, you can still ask someone to investigate afterwards, how can you not find any clues?!"

Li Yanchao had to explain: "It's not that I don't bother to check, I suffered a lot on the tracking road that day, and I got sick when I returned home." Although I ordered my subordinates to do something, they were concerned about my illness and did not know that it was important, so they neglected it......"

"Waste!" Zhen Li interrupted him, "This kind of waste, even the master's orders can't be completed, what's the use?!"

Li Yanchao opened his mouth and closed it again. His face was a little ugly.

Zhen Li frowned and said: "According to what you say, it is very likely that you have already let the prince know about your peeping on the prince's behavior, at least Yongjiahou and the grandson of the Liao King are all aware, and Huang Jincheng is no exception, otherwise they will not cooperate with the trick to trick you! But you just want to report the news to the princess, saying that the princess has done that extremely dangerous thing, and when the princess sends someone, you will drop the chain again. You might as well not report it!"

Li Yanchao's face was even more ugly. Even if his family has been currying favor with Mrs. Tu for many years, they are also the in-laws of the Tu family. Zhen Li counted which onion is it? No matter how much he has to be reused by Mrs. Tu, he is just a subordinate, and he dares to be rude in front of him again and again! He has worked so hard and suffered so much for the sake of Princess Shu and the little prince of Shu that he has almost lost his life, and his future prospects are also very slim, so he hopes to make great contributions to the little prince and fight for a wealth and glory. But seeing Zhen's favorable posture, he didn't take him seriously at all, and he didn't care about his merits. What does this mean exactly? Could it be that you want to monopolize the credit and leave him alone?!

Zhen Li didn't care about Li Yanchao's thoughts at all, he was secretly ordered by Mrs. Tu to go south this time, just to make meritorious contributions. If Li Yanchao can help him, but if he can't help, why should he look the other way? The Li family always curries favor with the Tu family on weekdays, and he has seen a lot of such people around Mrs. Tu, and he really doesn't think much of it in his heart. Besides, Li Yanchao's recent actions have also proved his incompetence, so how can Zhen Li have a good face?"

Zhen Li pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now that I have lost the clues of the prince, there are only two places to count on, one is the medical hall that the prince often goes, you said that Imperial Doctor Shen went to get medicine the next day? Then keep an eye on the medical hall, and wait for Imperial Doctor Shen to appear and follow, and you can always find their whereabouts." The second is the Yongjiahou Mansion, he is the prince's maternal uncle, and the prince's life in Jinling City must be indispensable to his care. Keep an eye on his movements, and you should be able to find out the whereabouts of the crown prince. But you don't have to worry about this matter, Master Li, you can recuperate with peace of mind. Save the grandson of the Liao King to see you and go to the Jinling prefect to complain, so how can we still act freely?!"

Li Yanchao said unrelentingly: "You don't know the situation in Jinling, how can you investigate? Or will I send someone to find out the news, and I will inform you when I have the news." ”

Zhen Li glanced at him contemptuously: "Master Li, you are not from Jinling, how do you know that we will not know the situation in Jinling?" Among the few dead soldiers he brought this time, there are people who have been lurking in Jinling for more than a year, and they are very familiar with the situation in Jinling, but they are afraid that they are more familiar than Li Yanchao.

Li Yanchao wanted to say something, but Zhen Youli directly interrupted him: "This matter is so decided, Master Li should be healthy and recuperate, don't worry about these things." You won't be able to help much anyway, so don't hold us back. This is what you have ordered from above, you have already aroused Huang Jincheng's suspicions, but don't make your own claims. If you are careless and affect the princess, you will die, and it is not a pity!" After warning Li Yanchao in a vicious tone, he said coldly, "I'll take people away, remember not to tell people that we have been here." As long as you're not stupid, you should know that you should shut up at this time!"

He took people and left directly, without glancing at Li Yanchao out of the corner of his eyes. Li Yanchao heard the contempt and contempt in his words, and also heard that he was planning to completely leave himself alone, and he thought that he was not doing him a favor, and it was even likely that he was still at the behest of Princess Shu. Li Yanchao only felt that his eyes were dark. What is the purpose of the crime he has suffered these days?! He is the nephew of Princess Shu, and the little prince also wants to call him a cousin, how can they treat him so ruthlessly?!

Li Yanchao didn't come up in one breath, and spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing those mysterious guests leaving outside the door, the next person was still guessing their intentions, and suddenly heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly entered the house to see, and found that Li Yanchao vomited blood, passed out, and couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and he was immediately frightened.

The subordinates of the Li family immediately called the master to come, and asked people to ask for a doctor, and it was a mess. When the doctor came and gave Li Yanchao an injection, his condition seemed to be much more stable, and the master began to be in the mood to find out why he vomited blood.

The reason is very easy to investigate, there were guests in front, and none of the subordinates stayed in the house when Li Yanchao saw the guests, and he didn't know what they said. But the guest left violently, and Li Yanchao vomited blood immediately, needless to say, he must have been angry with the guest. The Li family didn't recognize the strangers behind Zhen Li, but they were not strangers to Zhen Lili, and soon someone told the master that it was Mrs. Tu's companion, and he must have come to Jiangnan to do things for his master.

The master said angrily: "No matter what he wants to do, our owner is sick, can he be so angry that he vomits blood? He said that he is the manager of the Tu family, but in fact he is just the companion of Mrs. Tu, and what kind of person can he be regarded as a person in the Tu family? Our wife is the daughter of the Tu family, and the Li family is also the queen of a famous family. He is so rude to our host, we can't just forget it! The proprietor is sick and unable to take care of these chores, so I wrote back to ask Master Li to comment on it! The proprietor is his eldest son, and he has high hopes, and he will not sit idly by and watch his eldest son suffer such humiliation. As long as Master Li talks to Master Tu, he will definitely teach this guy surnamed Zhen a lesson!"

The people of the Li family felt the same way, and they all told the master what they knew, so as to help him write the letter in detail, and they were worried about the condition of the unconscious Li Yanchao, and the maiden who had been waiting for many years and the concubine who had been favored by him cried for him. made such a fuss, and the county government naturally looked at it in their eyes and discussed it in private.

Huang Jincheng had already planted eyeliner in the Yali of Shangyuan County, and within half a day, he got the news, and even Zhen Li's identity and origin were known.

Huang Jincheng learned that Zhen Li was from the Tu family, and sneered: "The fox's tail is finally revealed!"

Qin Bai, who got the news half a day later, sighed and sighed: "Why did the Tu family bother to get involved in such a thing? ”
