Because Wu Mei was favored and personally cared for by the emperor, and the son adopted by the queen became the crown prince, even if Concubine Xiao Shufei had a thousand resentments, she was also lonely, and she couldn't afford to make too many waves for the time being, and the surface of the back court showed a rare state of calm.

Looking back, Yuan Ziyan took a comfortable carriage to enjoy the scenery all the way, and his mood was also very comfortable.

"Big brother, after I drowned last time, was it a pill you sent someone?" Yuan Ziyan suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Exactly. However, that pill was prepared by Yuan Tianshi himself, and it had also undergone some adjustments by the medicine king Sun Simiao. Li Shan nodded.

"So, it's very likely that my dad is with the Medicine King?" Yuan Ziyan was surprised, because Sun Simiao was in the capital, but he didn't understand why his father always didn't show up.

"Yuan Tianshi Shenlong saw the head but not the tail, Xu was learning from the Medicine King, but no one has ever seen him." Li Shan said.

"Yuan Tianshi is a master outside the world, and he doesn't want to get involved in mundane affairs, so he lives in seclusion." Li Tao thought for a while, and then asked, "Ziyan, do you still have any memories of that sunset water?" ”

"It's still the same one, I drank too much, I came out of Ling'er, and I wanted to fly back, but I hit the branches, so I got those branches down. Then it was as if someone came out, and I was thrown into the water, but it was vaguely like a woman, and I don't know if it was the smell or the sound, and I can't remember so much now. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Ziyan, I'm afraid this matter is related to Princess Baling or Princess Gaoyang. First of all, it is very convenient for these two to enter the palace. You can also stay in the dormitory before you get married. On the other hand, the cloak was found in the place where the two had to go home, and they both had this spice in their homes. So it can also be explained. Everything the other party did was like a woman's willful revenge, not only against Ziyan, but also at Li Tang. Li Shan calmly analyzed.

"Well, Princess Baling and Princess Gaoyang walk very closely, unlike other weak princesses, the two of them have a hot temper. Dare to love and hate, it is indeed a family. In fact, I have almost guessed the murderer, and the eight achievements are Gao Yang. As for Baling, he should be secretly helping, so he can be regarded as an accomplice. Yuan Ziyan said bluntly.

"Why are you so sure?" Li Tao asked.

"Because the prince said that the woman still has a string of prayer beads in her hand." Yuan Ziyan said seriously.

"I know that, too. However there are rosaries. Wu Zhaoyi is the biggest suspect, and Mrs. Taishi Ling also recites Buddhism, the women in the palace are lonely and boring, and there are many people who eat fasting and recite Buddha. Li Shan frowned slightly.

"But the prince also said that the rosary is relatively large, and it should be used by men."

"Could it be that a monk is dressed as a woman and deliberately confuses the public?" Li Tao said in surprise.

"It's not." Yuan Ziyan waved his hand and said, "The back court is very strict. How can an ordinary man get away with it? You may have forgotten that Princess Gaoyang's transformation was caused by the debate. If I'm not mistaken, the rosary should be a relic of the debate machine, carried by Gao Yang. ”

"This!" Li Tao scolded in a lost voice: "Ruining the reputation of the royal family and murdering the wife of the imperial court, Gao Yang is really daring. ”

"Hey, when asked what the world is like, Gao Yang is sincere to the debate. If it weren't for her obsession, it would have become a good story. Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly.

Li Shan seemed to think of something, and asked, "Ziyan, since you already know, why don't you tell Li Zhi?" Although he cares about the love of his brother and sister, he will also investigate in detail when it comes to murder. ”

"Ziyan, don't ask for the kindness of a woman, let Gao Yang go." Li Tao hurriedly said.

"Gao Yang is a simple-minded girl, impulsive, and thinks she is very capable. The widow of the horse house is not right, greedy for wealth and wealth, maybe he instigated Gao Yang to do so. I thought that after I went back, I would go to see Gao Yang again, analyze the benefits and disadvantages, and let her take the initiative to admit her mistakes, maybe she could be punished lightly. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Ziyan, I heard that Gao Yang was sad but not sad at Li Shimin's funeral, and never cried, how can you change her?" Li Shan said with some concern.

"Yes, but people are like that, rat traps. Although the debate machine is dead, but his masters are still there, Master Xuanzang sacrificed his life to learn scriptures, Xuanyin, and is also a great monk of the present generation......"

When Yuan Ziyan said this, he paused slightly, looked up at Li Shan, Li Shan sighed slightly, and stopped asking. Xuanzang went to the west to learn scriptures, Li Shan naturally visited many times, and he was also very familiar with Xuanyin, this is Yang Gao, the prince of the previous dynasty.

Yuan Ziyan's scruples are here, if he uses the rosary as a clue to investigate, it is very likely that everything will be involved in the defense machine's life, such as the relics in the room, and his two masters.

Xuanzang worked hard for the translation of the scriptures, and it is very likely that Xuanyin's exposure rate will be greatly improved, and it is inevitable that some people will recognize that this is the remnants of the previous dynasty, which will bring about the disaster of killing.

The three of them all looked out the window and stopped talking, Li Shan thought that a faint sentimentality swelled up in his heart, Yuan Ziyan was so busy for the descendants of the Yang family, is it worth it for the descendants of the Li family to be so busy?

The further south you go, the higher the temperature, and it is more comfortable to travel alone, neither hot nor cold.

The three of them were not in a hurry, they got out of the car to rest when they were tired, or picked wild fruits, or fished in the river, talking and laughing, very lively. The biggest gain for Yuan Ziyan is that the three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, both of them are all-rounders in civil and military affairs, and they have gone through vicissitudes of life, and they see the problem very accurately, from the dialogue, Yuan Ziyan was also very inspired, but Li Shan was unwilling to enter the palace as an official, and Li Tao was inconvenient to meet often, so he could talk freely only at this time.

Sure enough, it is a rich man, and the slightly larger cities have Li Shan's residences, and of course there are also his businesses everywhere, and everywhere he goes, there will be warm hospitality, all kinds of special delicacies, and a great feast.

What touched Yuan Ziyan's heart the most was that every house has a boudoir specially designed for women, with a similar style and thoughtful consideration. Everyone is tacitly acquiescing, and there is not much gratitude or sensationalism for this, and it is a kind of happiness right now, so why cling to it too much.

The three of them walked around and rested, and finally came to Anzhou after more than 20 days. The security was very tight, Yuan Ziyan and Li Tao showed their identities, and the guards at the city gate were startled, why bothered the national teacher and the great Sikong to come in person, hurriedly saluted, and at the same time spread the news to the official residence.

Anzhou City is not big, Yuan Ziyan simply jumped out of the carriage, the streets are spacious and tidy, commerce and trade are prosperous, passers-by are brightly dressed, ruddy complexion, do not be surprised when encountering people, and even the officers and soldiers have to make way for the people first.

Yuan Ziyan secretly praised that Li Ke is indeed a managerial talent, but unfortunately his fate is not good, if it weren't for the blood of the previous dynasty that flowed in his body that made him noble and shameful, Li Ke should be a legendary emperor who is even better than Li Zhi, and continue to write another legend.

"I never thought that Anzhou would be so rich, comparable to the eastern capital. But I underestimated King Wu before. Li Tao commented fairly.

And Li Ke attaches great importance to commerce and trade, which coincides with Ziyan. Called yes, the economic base decides, decides? ”

Li Shan was thinking about it, Yuan Ziyan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Superstructure!" ”

"Yes, the economic base determines the superstructure!"

Haha, the three of them laughed, and Yuan Ziyan sighed: "It's a pity, Li Ke is a prince, and now he is a prince, so he can't learn from your eldest brother, otherwise he is also a good hand in business." ”

"Hehe, let the prince worship me as a teacher, I really don't dare to climb high."

"Big brother, it's not uncommon for the emperor to do it for you, isn't that true?" Li Tao laughed and quipped.

The three of them were walking, when they saw an ordinary carriage rushing in front of them, followed by more than a dozen guards on horseback. Yuan Ziyan stopped, wondering, the carriage stopped in front, and Li Tao subconsciously held the knife in front of Yuan Ziyan.

The half-old curtain was lifted, and a handsome young man got out of the carriage, with sharp edges and corners, eyes like stars, and a nose like gall, especially the slightly pursed lips, like the deceased Li Shimin.

Yuan Ziyan was so moved that she almost cried, Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, arched his hand upward, and said with a little joy: "Ke'er greets his mother-in-law!" ”

"Ke'er, hurry up and let my stepmother take a good look." Yuan Ziyan took Li Ke's hand, looked it up and down carefully, and muttered: "Speaking of these children, you are the most similar to the first emperor." ”

A trace of loneliness flashed in Li Ke's eyes, and then because Li Tao saw the courtesy, he looked at Li Shan in puzzlement, Li Shan took a step forward and bowed slightly, "Grass people Li Shan, I have seen King Wu." ”

Qi Yu is lofty, it is difficult to hide his domineering, especially those eyes, which shoot directly at people's hearts, Li Ke is inexplicably a little timid when he sees it.

"Ke'er, it's good to call Li Bo."

Li Ke was also obedient and shouted Li Bo. Li Tao secretly laughed and said in a low voice: "Ziyan, this is a bad grade!" ”

Li Mi and Li Yuan are of the same generation, so you can't let Li Ke call him grandpa. Yuan Ziyan didn't care, and said jokingly: "Ke'er, you Li Bo is a money-making expert. By the way, big brother, since the children have shouted, you have to give a greeting gift or something, right? ”

This? Li Shan hesitated a little, because he didn't prepare anything, and there were a lot of silver tickets in his arms, so it was definitely not appropriate to give it like this.

"Big brother, I think this wrench is very good." Yuan Ziyan hinted.

Li Shan's eyebrows shook suddenly, this wrench is extraordinary, the value is needless to say, the key is that Yuan Ziyan designed it for him, and he never left his body. However, since Yuan Ziyan spoke, he still took it off with some pain and handed it to Li Ke.

Li Ke took it in his hand and looked at it, then his eyes widened, "Stepmother, this thing is extremely expensive, I don't know if it's suitable or not?" ”

"It's right, it couldn't be better. Ke'er, don't just look at its value, with this wrench, you will become a family with you. In the future, whoever has a problem can use this as a token to help each other. ”

Yuan Ziyan's words made Li Shan laugh dumbly, quite helpless, it seemed that Yuan Ziyan was determined to help Li Ke, and he also pulled himself along. (To be continued......)
