The sage did not give King Peng a chance to report the news, and when he ordered the palace people to go to the princess's mansion to pass the message, he summoned Princess Anxing to enter the palace immediately to meet him. Because everyone didn't want this matter to arouse the suspicion of people with hearts, they found a suitable side hall outside the Taiji Palace and arranged it as the residence of Princess Anxing during the trial.

Queen Du specially sent a cronie to Shanggong and led dozens of palace maids to clean this side hall, and the furnishings were all compared to the four concubines. Such kindness, although it is like house arrest, is no different from returning to the palace as a guest. It was King Peng who tried to find fault with one or two, and he couldn't find anything wrong when he looked horizontally and vertically, so he had to temporarily stop fighting.

And the night was dark, and the eldest princess of Anxing was ordered to enter the palace, and naturally accompanied her horse Cheng Qing. She came on her shoulder, lazily helping the maid to walk out slowly, while Cheng Qing followed her a little carelessly. When he came to the unfamiliar side hall, and saw the saint and several princes of the clan, the noble lord raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be surprised very insincerely: "Yo, what is going on?" It's such a big battle? ”

Li Hui stood in an unobtrusive corner, looking at her from afar. Obviously, Princess An Xing must have known that this time entering the palace was unusual, but she still came over without hurry. She couldn't say, she already understood what kind of excuse the saint was looking for this time, even the look of surprise seemed so fake, and there was a smile in her eyes, as if everything was expected by her.

Xu is has experienced too few twists and turns in his previous life, and he has already been assimilated by his current age, and the king of Xin'an County is the same as before, but it is difficult to maintain calm in his heart. In the depths of his heart, a strong sense of anxiety and uneasiness suddenly rose. At this moment, he was extremely aware that this operation was too eager, too much to take for granted, and it would definitely end in failure.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a case that needs to be explained by my sister." The saint still smiled gently, as if there was no difference from usual, "Sister, just stay here for a few days, and when the case is over, then go back to the princess's mansion." At the invitation of me and Zitong, I came to the palace to live for a few days to cool off the heat. ”

"The saint is really joking, the palace is not a good place to cool off, it is very hot." Princess Anxing said, saluting a few elders, "But I don't know what the case is?" I was involved? I've always been very content, and I don't mix in anything but feasting and drinking. If you don't believe me, you ask the colt? ”

Although she is over 30 years old, she still looks less than 20 because of her excellent maintenance. With such a smile and tactful eyes, there is a different style, which makes the already delicate appearance more attractive. Even though she was coquettish in front of an elder who was only a few years older than her, she didn't have any sense of disobedience, as if she was supposed to be like this.

"Anfen"? "Nothing to do"? Who in the audience didn't know that what she said was a lie? If she is said to be safe, then all the eldest princesses and eldest princesses will secretly sneer. She is the noblewoman of the Jingzhong clan who has the worst reputation, and when the nobles of the family privately mention the reckless behavior of the royal princesses, they must mention her as an example.

If it weren't for the emperor's favor on her back then, many gossips would not dare to spread indiscriminately, and I don't know how many officials would criticize her! Even now, the officials ignore her, just because it makes no sense to participate in her. Since the whole of Chang'an City knows what kind of virtue this noble lord is, why should he mess with her? And, what's the point of messing with her? Neither the king of the clan who holds real power nor an official makes it difficult for him to stand out and add luster to his combat resume.

"Uncles, how about answering our questions?" Cheng Qing also saluted and smiled, "After receiving the sage's command, we didn't know what happened, so we entered the palace in a panic, and we are still confused." He is much more real than Princess Anxing, and the wry smile on his face is also a little more real.

"Imperial Doctor Yao who treated Shiro back then, do you still remember?" King Jing, as Zong Zhengqing, is naturally the chief judge. King Peng and King Lu sat beside him, one frowning and not hiding his dissatisfaction, and the other still seemed to be wandering out of the world. Li Heng, the king of Yue, sat farther away from them, showing a little worry just right. And the saint reclined on the throne far away, very relaxed, and his eyebrows and eyes were still calm as usual. As for Li Hui, who has the lowest rank, he is still in an inconspicuous corner, with a very low sense of storage, as if he has been integrated into those splendid ornaments.

"What Imperial Doctor Yao?" Princess An Xing asked rhetorically, frowning and thinking. Although she knew that she was just acting, Li Hui also had to sigh that she was really getting more and more into the play compared to Fang Cai. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they may think that she is indeed at a loss.

"Imperial Doctor Yao?" Cheng Qing also continued, "It seems to have some impressions." He and Princess Anxing have been married since childhood, and they are also quite familiar with King Huai. However, the age difference between King Huai and Princess Anxing was four or five years, and before his sister got married, he contracted a cold and died.

"Xiniang, it's impossible for you not to remember this person." King Jing said, "After Shiro's death, you also openly accused this person of misdiagnosis and asked the imperial brother to kill him. However, the two officers of the Shang Pharmacy were ordered by the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation and confirmed that he had not misdiagnosed him and that the prescription was also proper, so the matter was closed. Now, his youngest son has appeared to cry out, saying that you not only secretly instructed others to frame Yao Imperial Doctor and exile him to Lingnan, but also sent people to kill their family of six, and he was the only one who narrowly escaped. ”

The eldest princess of An Xing put away her blank look and said coldly: "Okay, it turned out to be him, then of course I remember this person." If it weren't for him, Brother wouldn't have ...... Hehe, it turns out that he was exiled to Lingnan? This may be karma. Since he is a quack, he deserves such an end. However, his youngest son said that I was the mastermind behind it? Is there any evidence? I don't remember asking him to come and see me. It's too late to dislike this person, so how can I let him come close to me and treat me? And then go out of your way to frame him? ”

"The evidence is his confession, and the angry words you shouted for Imperial Doctor Yao's life because of your anger back then." King Peng interjected, "That's all, I shouldn't have called you into the palace." Unfortunately, this matter is related to the face of our royal family, so it should be regarded as a show. In a few days, the saint will naturally let you go back to the princess's mansion. He lightly told the eldest princess of Anxing the news of insufficient evidence, and seemed to be just an elder who cared for his niece, but in fact, he repeatedly exonerated her.

The saint glanced at him and continued, "This case is also related to Sister's reputation, so I have to be cautious. However, Uncle Peng Wang said that the elder sister should live in the palace for a while. If there is any use, send someone to talk to Zitong. If you think of anything, you can always ask Uncle Jing to come over. In addition, those maids beside my sister, Uncle Jing sent someone to try them in the first instance. ”

"Sage, I don't know how many maids around me have changed, and they are no longer the old people of the past." Princess An Xing's eyes wandered, "Moreover, if I leave them, I will feel uncomfortable with food, clothing, housing and transportation." Of course, she wouldn't lightly agree to hand over all the maids around her, even if they had changed countless times, it was impossible for them to know the old news from nearly twenty years ago, and maybe they knew some new things recently? If you can't guarantee it, some people can't bear the torture and confess all the secrets in the princess's mansion.

At this moment, almost everyone's hearts were bright—the saint really didn't plan to do anything with this case, and he knew that this case didn't mean anything to Princess An Xing. What he wanted was the opportunity to interrogate the servants in the princess's mansion in an open and honest manner. This opportunity may be an extremely rare breakthrough.

Sure enough, the sage replied lightly: "Although Elder Sister is relieved, it is only a trial trial, and they will be put back to Elder Sister in peace within two days." If they didn't know about the old things of twenty years ago, then Uncle Jing Wang would try the old man in the princess's mansion again. There are even those old palace people in the Taiji Palace who have served the fourth brother and sister, maybe someone will know something. ”

The eldest princess of An Xing sighed and complained half-truthfully: "The saint really doesn't care about sisterhood at all...... Obviously, there is no evidence that I did it, but I have to interrogate everyone around me. If this matter spreads, no one will think that I did it, then it is really wronged. Moreover, by that time, our royal reputation would have long been gone. ”

"Sister, everyone here is our own family, and no one will reveal this matter." The saint smiled slightly, "In any case, I just want to settle this matter as much as possible." Otherwise, if there are really rumors of careless disregard for human life spread throughout Chang'an, then I will go underground in the future, and I will have no shame to face my grandfather and grandfather. ”

Since he mentioned Emperor Gaozu and Taizong, he said that he was the eldest princess of Anxing, even King Peng was speechless. As a result, Princess Anxing had to stay in this side hall, and the concubine Cheng Qing was also temporarily placed under house arrest in another side hall dozens of steps away.

When leaving, Cheng Qing slowly and leisurely fell behind, and suddenly looked back at Li Hui and said, "Xuan Qi, when Uncle Jing has finished interrogating all the maids in the princess's mansion, you will bring all the maids around me into the palace." Now I don't have a single person close to me who serves, but I'm really not used to it. ”

“…… Why did my uncle say these ...... to his nephew?" Seeing that King Jing, King Peng, and King Lu all looked at it meaningfully, Li Hui only showed a wry smile. He had already tried his best to lower his sense of save, why didn't this uncle let him go? Obviously, he is just a junior, and even if he is present, he has no qualifications to speak.

"Who called you all elders, only you are a junior who can instruct you." Cheng Qing hooked the corners of his mouth, which was very natural.

Hearing this, Li Hui had no choice but to agree. King Jing raised his eyebrows, turned and left; King Lu followed; King Yue silently followed at the end. Only King Peng, standing beside him, looked at this nephew very inscrutablely, and suddenly said: "Xuanqi, you have always been quite popular with saints. If you find the opportunity, you can get a good life to persuade the saints. After all, we are all family members who are related by blood, so we can't teach our own family members to be cold. ”

“…… Uncle and grandfather, how can the child ......" Li Hui's face changed slightly, and he did not hide his embarrassment.

King Peng sneered: "You kid, don't just care about honoring other elders, but forget about your serious grandfather." This is a very heart-wrenching remark, not so much an accusation as an open and honest attempt to sow discord -- according to him, does it not imply that King Pu and the saint are not of the same mind?

Li Hui did not hesitate to show a blank look: "Before Grandpa and Grandma went to Luoyang, they instructed the children to listen to their uncles and aunts. If the child does so, it is naturally filial piety, is there anything wrong? ”

King Peng choked suddenly, shook his sleeves, turned around and left.
