Li Yuan and Shen Yue have been busy investigating Bu Xun's case recently, so it was already dark when Xia Ya returned to his residence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the yamen recently hired a cook to cook for the people in the investigation team, so they came back after dinner.

When they returned, a cook gave them two large roasted chicken thighs and a bottle of white wine, saying that they were for supper.

The cooks all know that Li Yuan and Shen Yue like to eat chicken legs.

The two of them accepted it gratefully.

On the way back, it was inconvenient for the two to talk about the case, and as soon as they returned to their residence, they closed the door and talked about the case while eating chicken legs.

"At the moment, there is just a lack of evidence." Shen Yue said.

Even if he is an expert in investigating the case, Shen Yue is also very sad about this case.

Kong Wuli was able to escape under the noses of the prince's elite soldiers, and one can imagine how difficult the road of tracking would be after that.

But at present, Kong Wuli is the most critical person in this case, so he must continue to track it down no matter what.

Both are deeply aware of this.

When talking about the future, Li Yuan said in a firm tone: "I will definitely be able to find him." He said this with reverence and conviction in his eyes.

Shen Yue patted his hand and said, "Well, the person who investigates the case must be indomitable and always maintain confidence......

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door

said: "Master Li, someone is looking for you at the door." ”

Li Yuan asked vigilantly, "Where did it come from?" ”

"I didn't say it, judging from the costume, it should be from the palace."

Li Yuan tidied up his clothes and strode out.

After learning that it was the prince who was looking for him, Li Yuan immediately got into the carriage sent by the prince.

Even in the dark of night, the horse ran fast, so Li Yuan arrived at the East Palace in less than two quarters of an hour.

The prince sat in the place where he was customary and played chess quietly.

Li Yuan was relieved to see that the prince was playing chess calmly.

In fact, he didn't know that even if it was a big thing, it could be so light and light when he came to the prince.

When the prince heard the voice, he took his attention off the chessboard and looked at Li Yuan with a faint smile on his face.

"Sit." The crown prince said after Li Yuan saluted him.

Li Yuan then sat down respectfully on the chair on one side.

Although it is not the first time that he has been alone with the prince, Li Yuan will always unconsciously be respectful when he is in front of the prince.

This is not because of the prince's high status, but because he admires the prince's personality.

The prince said: "I called you today to talk to you about this palace and your sister. This palace and her have long been deeply in love, and the desire to marry her is becoming stronger and stronger, so I want to get married as soon as your parents' case is clarified, what do you think about this? ”

Wen Yingsu had already told Li Yuan about this, so Li Yuan didn't feel strange when he heard what the prince said.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "She told Xia Guan some time ago, and Xia Guan has no opinion. ”

The prince said earnestly: "Although she can marry me, she is also in danger, I might as well tell you this in advance, but I also want to tell you - I will do my best to protect her." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Xia Guan understands that she has identity concerns, and she is especially afraid that she will be blamed by His Majesty when she is exposed." ”

I'm afraid the emperor can't tolerate someone marrying the prince with a false identity, and if this matter gets out, it will be a shame for the royal family.

Seeing that Li Yuan understood, the prince didn't say much about this matter, he lowered his voice and said: "In April this year, this palace ordered someone to secretly build a house on Jilong Island, if one day your brother and sister get into trouble because their identities are exposed, you can temporarily avoid there." ”

Geelong Island is a small island in the south, which is very remote but extremely beautiful.

These were all things that Li Yuan learned from the mouth of a ranger.

The crown prince apparently started arranging for someone to build the house when he went to the south this year to help with disaster relief.

"Your Highness has treated us so well." Li Yuan hurriedly knelt down and thanked.

The prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "This is a way out, so you can do it when you really have no choice." ”

"Okay."

The crown prince said solemnly: "At present, because the imperial court is in full swing to investigate your parents' case, the identities of you and your sister have also become very sensitive. ”

If the emperor learns that some of the prince's concubines use false identities, the emperor will come out to oppose it even if it is just to maintain the reputation of the royal family, and the emperor's attitude towards the prince has always been uncertain, and the prince will not escape punishment if the emperor blames him.

Li Yuan understood the prince's worries, and solemnly promised: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the lower official will be tight-lipped about his life experience, and will never increase the trouble between you and your sister." ”

"Well, then you should pay extra attention to this during this time. There's nothing else to do, you go back and rest early. The prince said.

Li Yuan hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, the official will leave." ”

On the way back, Li Yuansi and the prince just said something, the more they thought about it, the more grateful they became, and decided to behave well in the yamen to repay the prince's love and support.

…………

After a simple breakfast, Empress Jingzhuang ordered people to pay close attention to the news outside the imperial city.

The letter written by King Ling that day only provided the address of the private meeting, and did not agree on a time, so Empress Jingzhuang can only wait for the secret letter sent by the person he placed in the palace outside the palace to determine when she will be able to make the appointment.

This was so passive that Queen Jingzhuang was distracted all morning.

But she also understood that this was an arrangement made by King Zhao to avoid his whereabouts being exposed, so even if she wrote a letter to ask a few days ago, she would not be able to ask for the exact time of meeting.

Then we just have to wait for news from his side.

Empress Jingzhuang was afraid that the emperor would announce her to see her when she was about to go out, so she sent people to guard near the Yinghua Hall and the Yangxin Hall early in the morning, so that the emperor could report to her immediately if there was any movement here.

Near noon, the person sent by Empress Jingzhuang to listen to the Yinghua Hall hurriedly returned to report: "Niangniang, Your Majesty invites you to go to Dayan Terrace to listen to music and taste tea at one moment (3:15 p.m.). ”

I was really afraid of something, Queen Jingzhuang panicked and broke out in a cold sweat.

What if Wang Zhao Teng made an appointment at that time?

If she hadn't gone to Zhao Teng's appointment as scheduled, would Zhao Teng do anything that would be detrimental to the court, the people and her? If she didn't go to the emperor's appointment, would the emperor blame her?

She was distraught and paced around the room.

The person who came to report the news couldn't help it, so he reminded Empress Jingzhuang in a low voice.

After thinking about it, Empress Jingzhuang decided to meet the emperor's request first, so she said to the person who came to report the news: "Go and reply to Your Majesty, just say that the palace will go to the scene as promised." ”

When she said this, the clothes on her back were soaked with cold sweat, and her hands and feet were shaking.
