The man let out an "oops", followed by a shrill shout: "Help, help, kill." ”

Even with the sound of rain all around, the sound is very penetrating. Although this is a harem, there are also guards, this person's scream, the guards came one after another, the long knife in their hands at Jiang Chengzi, and shouted for the first person: "Which palace are you the palace people who dare to make a mistake?"

Changle ran over panting, and when he saw this formation, he shouted: "Dog Eyes, if you don't catch the thief who tried to assassinate the palace, you want to embarrass Princess Shu?"

When those guards saw that it was Princess Changle, they immediately saluted.

The captain of the guard looked at Jiang Chengzi again and said, "Princess, as far as my subordinates know, there is only one concubine Xiao in the Shu Palace, isn't this one?"

"What kind of thing is the Xiao family? This is the ninth girl of the Yang family of Hongnong, the Yang family's Azhi. You still don't put away your weapons?" Changle asked sharply.

Those captains of the guards asked people to collect their weapons, but they still refused to let Jiang Chengzi go, and continued: "Now that such a thing has happened, I have to find out." ”

"Do you believe in this palace?" Changle asked rhetorically, protecting Ah Zhi behind him.

Jiang Chengzi chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, princess. There is nothing wrong with their responsibilities. It is precisely because of their loyalty that the safety of the court can be ensured. They are the epitome of conscientiousness. ”

When the guards heard this, they were all surprised. Almost always when they encountered such things, they were almost always oppressed by the powerful, and now this one actually spoke for them.

When Changle heard this, he also felt that Jiang Chengzi made sense, so he softened his tone and said, "You don't believe that this is the future princess of Shu, the current Yang Azhi, it is impossible for me to find my mother to confirm with you." The queen is now in poor health. However, we can go to see the King of Shu together. However, when it comes to the nine girls of the Yang family, the temper of the King of Shu is not very good. ”

Changle's last sentence implied a threat, and the guards also beat the drums in their hearts. The king of Shu has always been as cold as ice, and he is very unparticular about doing things, all according to his preferences. Now, the nine girls of the Yang family are the favorite of the King of Shu. It doesn't seem good for them to be so unrelenting.

"Then, then there is no need to alarm the King of Shu. The captain of the guard said, and then immediately ordered someone to arrest the man who was drenched in soup.

"Don't alarm the King of Shu. I'll show you a token. Jiang Chengzi took out a jade plaque from his arms.

When the guard at the head saw it, his face immediately changed, and he said, "It turns out that it is really Miss Yang Jiu." Please forgive me for the responsibilities of the subordinates. ”

"Forgive me, you don't have to. There is nothing wrong with your duty. Now, the thieves I threw out first overheard me talking to the princess, and then tried to assassinate the princess. You have to investigate carefully, no matter which palace this person belongs to, and please enforce the law impartially. If this person's identity makes it difficult for you, report it according to the rules. Jiang Chengzi said unhurriedly.

The captain of the guard secretly admired that this Yang Jiu girl really lived up to her reputation. This happened without hurry, and the solution to this matter was given in a few words.

"Thank you, Miss Nine. The captain of the guard bowed.

The rest of the guards dragged the man up like a dead dog, and the man screamed: "Princess, princess, I'm Mama Zhou, I'm Mama Zhou." ”

Changle was shocked, and then thought that the person who suggested the celebration banquet in the Lizheng Hall was this old woman, and those people calculated that they and Cousin Ah Wu would not be able to get rid of the old woman.

So, she said to the guards, "This person wants to assassinate me and Miss Yang Jiu, and his intentions are sinister. Fang Cai Jiu also said, no matter what identity you are, if you do such a thing today, you can just check it. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are not humane. ”

"Yes. The guards spoke in unison, but everyone felt unsteady in their hearts, and always felt that they had received some hot potato, but it was really hard to throw it away at this time.

After the guards took away, Jiang Chengzi and Changle prepared to return to the Lizheng Palace. Changle wanted to discuss Mama Zhou's affairs, Jiang Chengzi shook his head, and only whispered in her ear: "Before the matter is completely resolved, these things must not be talked about casually, just now Mama Zhou is eavesdropping on us." It's hard to guarantee that there is no one else. ”

Changle nodded, and then stopped saying this, only talked with Jiang Chengzi about interesting things when she was a child, and also told Jiang Chengzi about what she saw and heard in Shuzhong. The two talked and laughed, and then returned to the Lizheng Palace.

In the Lizheng Palace, the queen presided over it, and all the concubines and concubines in the harem discussed it together, and came up with a plan to reduce food and clothing, and donate rice and food. In short, they have made a little contribution to the people of the world. Later, Concubine Shu and Concubine De wrote a post asking the court to order a wife.

Changle and Jiang Chengzi came back, and it happened that they were just done. The concubines were about to say goodbye, but Concubine Shu took Jiang Chengzi's hand and said, "I was about to send someone to find you!"

"The princess took me around, looking at the scenery, talking about the interesting stories of my childhood, and before I knew it, I was a little farther away. Jiang Chengzi replied softly.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with the princess. Concubine Shu was still smiling.

Changle ran over, grabbed Concubine Shu's hand, and said coquettishly, "I really like Ah Zhi." In the future, can I often post and invite Ah Zhi to play?"

Concubine Shu glanced at Jiang Chengzi, and Empress Eldest Sun also smiled, so Concubine Shu said: "It's also your fate, so naturally you can often play together." Not only can you ask Ah Zhi to play in the next post, but if you can, you can also go to Ah Zhi's side to play. ”

"Yes, if the two of you fall in love and move around a lot, that's great. Empress Eldest Sun smiled and spoke with a hint on her face.

Concubine Shu knew that Empress Changsun was expecting the eldest grandson family to restrain their ambitions, make friends with Cheng Qian and Li Ke, and be happy. In this duel, Queen Changsun is undoubtedly the most bitter person, with her brother and mother on one side and her children on the other. No matter who is in trouble on either side, she is the one who hurts. She naturally hopes that the two sides can release their previous suspicions and live in harmony.

Now, Yang Azhi is about to be the head of the Shu Palace, and Changle is about to marry into the eldest grandson's family and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family. If the two are friendly, blow the pillow wind, talk about the pros and cons, and estimate that they can reconcile, then it is best.

Concubine Shu naturally knew the meaning of Empress Changsun's words, and she didn't break it, but only replied according to her meaning: "The children are in harmony and harmony, this is the best." ”

"Sister-in-law of the crown princess, will you play with us in the future?" Changle said and ran to pull the crown princess Su on the side.

In terms of age, Su is younger than Changle, but when she married Li Chengqian, Changle naturally called her sister-in-law. However, the Su family entered the East Palace and became the crown princess, and she wanted to be a model in every word and deed, and she would want to be a mother in the future. Therefore, she has to maintain her own identity and be even more cautious. Therefore, Su Shi is very old at a young age.

"Yes, when this is over, you will also move around with Changle and Ah Zhi. No matter how busy the affairs of the East Palace are, we can't be as young as our little wives. Empress Changsun said to the crown princess.

When Su Shi heard this, he saluted and replied very obediently: "Yes." ”

When Empress Eldest Sun looked at Su's appearance, she could only sigh in her heart. Before, she thought about her brother's current situation, and she could stand up and carry it clearly. But if it's unclear, and the mother family is particularly strong, I'm afraid it's a mess. In history, there were many things in which foreign relatives interfered in politics, and the harem interfered in politics and controlled the government. Therefore, he was very cautious when choosing the crown princess for Cheng Qian. This Su family is a big family, a scholarly family, and the women who have been educated know how to advance and retreat, and they look very good. Moreover, the Su family has always been a civil official, and it is very weak in this generation.

Empress Changsun's choice of the crown princess was based on these two considerations. Now, when she looks at the crown princess, she has some regret in her heart. With such a cowardly appearance, can he become the master of the harem?

"You're all the same age. In the future, the men of your families are fighting outside, and you must also move around more and work together to make this Tang Dynasty prosperous and the people of the world live a good life. Concubine Shu also said with a smile.

Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and several juniors also responded in unison. Concubine Shu stood up and said goodbye, took Jiang Chengzi and returned to Penglai Palace.

Li Ke had already returned to Penglai Hall and grabbed Li Su, who was reading a book, out to play chess. Brothers, you come and go, one by one. The brothers are also gossiping back and forth. It's all about the things in this palace.

"Every grass and tree in this Penglai Hall has been carefully selected by my mother and you, and I have been looking at it for a long time, and I can't be wrong. Li Su said casually.

Li Ke smiled and said, "It turns out that your kid will also pay attention to these?"

Li Su glanced at him and said lightly: "I don't want to die early, I haven't set foot in the three mountains and five mountains yet." ”

"Okay, okay, you have a lot of reasons. I, as a brother, don't treat you like a child. Li Ke smiled and left another son.

Li Su was a little bored, and said: "If Ah Zhi is here, we will play poker, this chess game is boring, it is quite dull." ”

"Don't divert the topic, you are in this Penglai Palace, in addition to guarding your mother, you also have to watch the movements in this palace. Recently, this palace has not been peaceful. Li Ke was also a temptation today, feeling that his younger brother was very smart, and he decided that there were some things that could not be hidden, and he also had to go through experience.

"Isn't it peaceful?" Li Ke simply threw away the chess pieces, sat cross-legged, and looked at Li Ke with a pair of bright big eyes.

"Over there in the Lizheng Palace. Li Ke said.

Li Su chuckled lightly and asked, "You mean that someone is calculating Changle's affairs?"

Li Ke was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but Li Ke said proudly: "Let you treat me as a child." Hehe. ”

"What do you know?" Li Ke frowned.

"The last time the East Palace thoroughly inspected the palaces, it was only superficial. There are still many people in the palace of the eldest grandson, but without evidence, it is impossible for the prince to arrest them all. I've been watching the show over there for a while. It's just that it's none of my business, and I don't bother to pay attention to it. Li Su said casually.

Li Ke frowned, a little unhappy in his heart. But he was patient and asked, "What do you know?"

"Someone is calculating Cousin Ah Wu and the fifth sister. Li Su replied.

"Who do you know?" Li Ke hurriedly asked.

"O people of the eldest grandson clan. Li Su said.

It turned out that what my mother analyzed was true. Li Ke muttered.

Li Su curiously asked his mother what he said, Li Ke looked at Li Su very seriously, and said, "Who have you told about this?"

"Who else can I talk to? The matter of the Lizheng Hall has nothing to do with my Penglai Palace. Cousin Awu knew that the fifth sister could not be provoked, and he could still be deceived by others, but he couldn't figure it out. As long as it doesn't involve Penglai Palace, it doesn't involve you and your third sister-in-law. Naturally, I didn't bother to pay attention to it. ”

"Confused, ridiculous. This matter is aimed at the Shu Wangfu and the Yang family's six rooms, to be precise, it is also aimed at the Penglai Palace. As soon as Li Ke slapped the case, the chess pieces on the case flew out.

Although Li Su is smart, he is a child after all, and he is even more at a loss at this time, he can't understand the truth at all. I just feel that his third brother has such a big temper, this matter must be very important.

"Then, how is that aimed at Penglai Palace?" Li Su asked in a low voice.

Li Ke was about to explain, but he heard the little palace maid outside the door saying hello, it was his mother and Ah Zhi who came back. He hurriedly got up, and while walking out, he said to Li Su: "Wait, let's see what news your third sister-in-law brings back." ”

Li Su sat on the cushion blankly, thinking carefully about the relationship between this matter and dealing with the Shu Palace.

Although Jiang Chengzi and Concubine Shu came back in a soft sedan chair, their clothes were also soaked because of the heavy rain. The two went to change their clothes together, drank a bowl of ginger soup, and came out.

The two Li Ke brothers had been waiting for a long time. Concubine Shu ordered Aunt Yue and Qingyun to go out to look at the door, and the family of four sat on the main seat in turn.

"Mother, Ah Yu knows something, and I don't think I should hide it from him. Li Ke took the lead in explaining why Li Su was here.

Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Now that the situation is weird, Ah Su shouldn't stay out of the matter, since you know something, then listen." ”

"Yes. Li replied respectfully.

"Ah Zhi, you went out with Changle, but what did you ask?" Concubine Shu asked Jiang Chengzi.

Jiang Chengzi sat down in a precarious position, and told the conversation with Changle and the things he had encountered.

"The fifth sister lied. After Li Su heard Jiang Chengzi finish speaking, he immediately spoke very firmly.

The three of them looked at Li Su together. Li Sucai said that on that day, the Lizheng Palace invited a banquet for the heroes, and he originally gave a post to His Royal Highness Penglai. Because Concubine Shu is also counted as a relative of the Dugu family, Duguqiu happens to be among the romances. But unfortunately, on that day, Concubine Shu was unwell and in poor spirits, so she resigned from the banquet. Li Su heard that some palace maids privately commented that they used to think that the King of Shu was good-looking, and he was simply a celestial figure, but now he looks at Mr. Dugu's appearance, which is even more brilliant. He just wanted to see how good-looking that Duguqiu was, and he could compare to his third brother.

At that time, because of his mother's poor health, Penglai Hall was busy. He staggered to the Lizheng Hall by himself, and when he didn't think about it, he saw a palace maid leading Chai Lingwu to the garden.

He was very suspicious, so he went with him, and saw everything. Chai Lingwu was plotted, and he lay on a big stone unconscious. He originally wanted to take advantage of the palace maid's departure to take a look at Chai Lingwu, but before he moved, he saw that Princess Changle was also brought by a palace maid, and listened to their conversation, as if Chai Lingwu had made an appointment with her, and she was in this garden.

Later, they found Cousin Awu, who was unconscious, and carried Cousin Awu back. Li Su shrugged.

"Later, you went along?" asked Li Ke.

Li Su nodded and continued: "My cousin originally slept in the outer room, but the princess washed his face and let people move in again. ”

"What about you?" said Concubine's face sank.

Seeing this, Li Su knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Mother, my son doesn't dare to run around anymore." ”

"If those people are villains, do you still have a life? Even if you have a life, you won't be caught and set us down?" said Concubine Shu sternly.

Li Su knelt, Li Ke persuaded his mother, Concubine Shu shook her head, and said, "He has to kneel and reflect on it." If you don't have that many pounds, don't move casually. Just move it casually, and you can kill a large number of people. Ah, go back to the Buddha Hall and kneel. ”
