After Li Chen became pregnant, as the Queen Mother expected, she recuperated in the princess's mansion with peace of mind, and she didn't bother with anything. However, after dealing with Lai Junchen earlier, the Queen Mother handed over several cool officials to Song Jing to investigate, including Wei Suiliang, who colluded with Wu Chenghei and Wu Sansi.

Li Chen was not surprised by his mother's move. It is impossible for the mother to deal with all the cool officials in her hands at once, and maybe she will still use these cool officials in the later stage, and hand over a few of the more rampant ones to Song Jing, with Song Jing's person, she will not take the opportunity to bend into a trick and involve a circle of cool officials into the water.

If that's the case, it's not what Li Chen likes to see. She hopes that Song Jing can be trusted and reused by her mother, but she doesn't want Song Jing to contradict her mother on these issues.

But with Li Chen's understanding of the people next to him, Song Jing seems to be rampage in some things, and he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, but he is very clear-minded, targeted, rampage in a measured manner, and a measured attempt to test his mother's bottom line. Mother is now willing to hand over a few rampant cool officials, which is already a windfall for them to fight against cool officials.

And just when Li Chen was recuperating in the princess's mansion, Princess Changle and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, rebelled, denounced the current empress dowager Wu Zetian and asked her to return to power Li Dan. These two people, one is the princess of Taizong, and the other is the brother of the former emperor Li Zhi, and they unite to crusade against the Empress Dowager Wu.

Wu Zetian was worried that there was no excuse to clean up the Li clan, and he wished that Princess Changle and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, would act earlier, once these two people raised troops, Wu Zetian sent Pei Xingjian and Li Jingye to suppress them.

In fact, Wu Zetian's favorite coach should be Cheng Wuting, but she thought that Cheng Wuting and Li Jingye were in-laws, although Cheng Wuting had always behaved remarkably, but after the Pei Yan incident, Wu Zetian was also quite taboo about military generals, both important and beware. Since she promised Li Chen to give Li Jingye a chance, she will not break her promise. But if Li Jingye is sent, he can't send Cheng Wuting, because he has to be wary of whether the two will collude to engage in any conspiracy.

In Wu Zetian's heart, she didn't mind meeting her youngest daughter's request to bring Li Jingye up, but she couldn't say that she admired Li Jingye, Li Jingye has today, one is because of Li Chen, and the other is that she just looked at Li Ji's sake at the beginning.

Li Jingye went to see the princess before setting out on the expedition. The princess has become more and more elusive recently, she thinks that she is too bored in the princess's mansion, although the concubine often finds time to accompany her, but the concubine is a person who has all kinds of opportunities, and the princess is not good at letting the concubine's candles burn at both ends, so she took it upon herself and took a group of people to live in another courtyard on the outskirts of Luoyang. The horse returned to the princess's mansion from the imperial history platform and pounced, and when he heard the frightened report of the princess's mansion steward, he first frowned, and then waved his hand helplessly, "I know, you go down first." ”

The steward trembled and walked away. The errand in the princess's mansion is not easy to do in these years, the princess is the queen mother's favorite daughter, and she can't be disobedient at all, but the horse is not bad, and the horse is a popular person in front of the queen mother, and it is not easy to offend. The steward felt bitter in his heart, and bowed a bitter tear for himself.

Song Jing returned to the residence of the concubine, and under normal circumstances, as long as Li Chen was not in the princess's mansion, Song Jing would not rest and do things in Li Chen's residence. Xiaowen followed behind Song Jing, took the cloak that Song Jing had untied off, and couldn't help but say to his master: "San Lang, the princess is not as good as before, she went to the suburban courtyard, don't you go and take a look?" ”

Song Jing put his hand in the basin brought by the maid to wash his hands, picked up the towel on the side to wipe the water droplets in his hand, and glanced at Xiaowen.

Xiaowen saw the word "eventful" from the glance that the master swept over, and immediately took back the words that had already come to his mouth. He grew up beside Song Jing since he was a child, and he knew many things about his master very well. Earlier, Xiaowen felt that his master was still a princess, which was a supreme glory in the eyes of others, but in Xiaowen's opinion, the master was out of helplessness. Later, the relationship between the master and the princess became more and more stable, but there was a British prince Li Jingye, and it was just a Li Jingye, and then there was a Master Wuyun.

Xiaowen felt that his master, Lanzhi Yushu-like character, and the princess acted like that, which inevitably humiliated him too much. But the master didn't say anything, and no matter how much he fought for the master in his heart, it would be useless. What the master says, it probably doesn't work, who made Li Chen a princess.

Finally, now that the princess has a body, but the princess who has a body does not stop, and she has to run to the suburban courtyard, who knows what the princess will toss in the courtyard? The princess toss is a small matter, and the key is the child in the womb. Xiaowen didn't forget that every time Song Jing went to visit his uncle in Meizhuang, he was asked when the Song family had such a thing. Song Jing doesn't take it very seriously, but Xiaowen takes it to heart, and passing on the lineage is a major human matter.

Song Jing seemed to understand Xiaowen's thoughts, he groaned slightly, and then said, "Actually, what you think, I know it in my heart." But whatever the princess and I do, we have our own considerations. You have been with me for many years, and you should know that I have long regarded you as a member of my family, and that the princess has treated you well all these years, and she has even betrothed you the nectar she brought out of the palace to wife, and you should know that many things may not be as you think. ”

When Xiaowen heard this, he said in a low voice: "Xiaowen doesn't think the princess is bad. "The master entered the court as an official, and he may be inseparable from the princess all the way, but Xiaowen sometimes hears some rumors outside, and he is always uncomfortable in his heart. He also knows that there is affection between the princess and the master, and it is not uncommon for a princess to have a lot of faces, and Princess Gaoyang was not like this back then, but Xiaowen always inevitably thought of Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping is also the proud daughter of the sky, but after the family descended to Xue Shao, her husband sang and followed her wife, and her private life was not as wonderful as Princess Yongchang. And his own master is in front of the Queen Mother, isn't he stronger than Xue Shao?

Song Jing looked at Xiaowen and said with a smile: "I know the rumors outside, I don't care, why do you feel aggrieved." Those things are just some idlers who have nothing to do and chew on the root of their tongues, and they don't have to take it to heart. ”

The smile on Song Jing's face was immediately relieved, because he thought of the news sent by Shu Ye in the evening, Li Chen was intercepted by Hou Sizhi's wife on the way to the other courtyard, Li Chen naturally had nothing to do, but Hou Sizhi's wife shouted in front of the princess's sedan chair, which was also very bad mood.

Song Jing frowned, Shu Ye said that Li Chen was fine, so he didn't have to worry, just let go and do what he had to do. But in this situation, if you chase too closely, you may jump off the wall in a hurry.

Song Jing walked to the desk and sat down, intending to sort out the cool official cases he had handled since Zhou Xing from beginning to end, and be sure to analyze them in detail. Li Chen also spent a lot of thought on the matter of cool officials, and he couldn't succeed.

Xiaowen saw that Song Jing was already planning to start doing things, and he was helpless. When the master's heart is as wide as the sea, what does he have to say? So he wisely chose to shut up and helped Song Jing grind ink.

Li Chen also had her own plans to choose to live in another courtyard, but she was a little annoyed that in the princess's mansion for a while, this person asked to see her, and that person asked to see her for a while. Probably within a few years of her marriage to Song Jing, she has not been pregnant, so the wives of these dignitaries and nobles think that although she is innocent on the surface, she must be crazy to have children in her heart.

After all, this is an era when it is a woman's duty to have children.

Therefore, when the news of Li Chen's pregnancy spread, the gate of Princess Yongchang's mansion was like a city, and someone wanted to congratulate her every day, and someone wanted to give her gifts every day, and everyone had it.

Many people were blocked from the princess's mansion, but every day like this, Li Chen also felt annoyed, so he wanted to go to the suburban courtyard to recuperate, so that people who wanted to go to give gifts or curry favor should also understand that the princess didn't want to be disturbed, so let's stop quickly. Because she didn't want people to know where she was going to recuperate, the princess didn't make a noise when she left the princess's mansion, and she was very low-key.

But even so, the princess was intercepted on the way to the other courtyard.

This person is none other than Hou Sizhi's wife.

Who is Hou Sizhi, Hou Sizhi is a cool official under Lai Junchen, and it was Wu Zetian who handed him over to Song Jing for investigation. Song Jing is well-known in the court for being upright in doing things, not to mention that Hou Sizhi can hand over Wu Zetian, and he must also be a very rampant member of the Cool Officials Group. After he was investigated, his family went around looking for a way for him, hoping to find a way out.

Hou Sizhi's wife stopped in front of Li Chen's sedan chair, and was stopped by Shu Ye and these people before she saw Li Chen's face, but she cried a little earth-shattering, and said loudly that she was wronged, disturbing Li Chen, who was dozing off in the sedan chair.

Li Chen has encountered several sedan chairs and others in her life, so someone stopped her sedan chair and said that it was the first time that she was wronged, which inevitably felt very novel, so she asked Shu Ye to bring her over.

When I lifted the curtain, I saw that it was a young woman with a good appearance, even if she was haggard, she could not hide her appearance. After asking, I learned that she was Hou Sizhi's wife Yuan.

Yuan Shi knelt on the ground with tears rippling, "I beg the princess to let my family Langjun go!" ”

Li Chen: "If your family Langjun has grievances, then go to Dali Temple to find Yushitai, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Yuan was stunned, raised his eyes and looked at the princess sitting in the sedan chair, "I heard that the princess is also going to be a mother, and the maid now has Hou Sizhi's flesh and blood in the abdomen for more than three months, I hope the princess can look at the child in the womb, raise her noble hand, and don't let the child be born before he is born, and he will have no father." ”

Li Chen looked at the Yuan clan with some amusement, but looking at her appearance was really embarrassed, and it didn't make matters worse, but asked in a very calm tone: "Do you know how many people have been unjustly killed in Hou Sizhi's hands?" How many of those people have become fathers? How many are about to become fathers? ”

Yuan was stunned.

"You come to beg me to let him go for the sake of the child in your womb, don't say that I have no power, even if I have power, why should I let go of a person who is full of evil?"

When the Yuan clan heard Li Chen's words, his face turned pale at first, and then he changed his pitiful appearance just now, and his facial features were dyed with great hatred, "My family's Langjun is full of evil and is also doing things for the Queen Mother, are you now crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, aren't you afraid of God's curse?" Princess, you are also a mother soon, so you should accumulate some yin virtue for the child in your womb! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Before Li Chen could speak, Shu Ye on the side had already reprimanded angrily.

Li Chen raised her hand to stop Shu Ye, she glanced at the Yuan family, and said in a slow tone: "Actually, you don't have to provoke me so much, you should be glad that now the presiding judge of your family Langjun is Song Jing, he is not like Hou Sizhi, not only to frame Zhongliang, but also to sit with Zhongliang's family, kill those who are killed, and exile those who are exiled." You're quite lucky to have the opportunity to stop my sedan chair now. ”

Yuanshi: "......"

Li Chen smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for Shu Ye to take the Yuan clan away. Immediately, she called Shu Zhi up again and whispered a few words to her, Shu Zhi nodded slightly and answered a few times.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lowered again, and Li Chen leaned on the cushion behind him a little casually.

When people reach a desperate situation, they are whimsical, and it is not surprising that they hope for a miracle. Li Chen's behavior towards the Yuan family, at most, is that she thinks that she is a woman who has lost her support and is desperate, and she will not embarrass the Yuan family because of this.

Li Chen was very puzzled how Hou Sizhi's wife Yuan knew that she was going to another courtyard, and the time was so accurate.
