Hearing the news that Yang Yuhuan was crowned Zhaorong, Old Madam Xiao asked the second lady Lin to prepare a commensurate gift, and took Ling Yan and Xiao Yu to the Taishou Mansion to greet and congratulate.

Yang Yuhuan was frightened, and his spirit didn't seem to be as good as the injured Hua Yao, and he couldn't ask about the events of the day, so they only sat down for a while before returning to Xiao Mansion. On the way, Xiao Yu had a whim, would Yang Yuhuan really become a concubine in the end?

The next day, Ling Yan somehow had to stay with Xiao Yu at night.

It was only after the lights went to bed at night that Ling Yan whispered. It turned out that she had gotten some news from Ling Yi, and she was a little scared in her heart, so she wanted to tell Xiao Yu to share the burden.

Xiao Yu couldn't cry or laugh.

If you know that you are afraid, why bother to listen in the first place!

However, the news that Ling Yan learned was really extraordinary, no wonder she was so cautious, even the maids who were on night duty outside the yarn closet drove away.

It is said that the assassin who assassinated the emperor at that time was caught, and after several days of interrogation by the guards, Ling Yi and others, the man finally relented, but he said that the assassination was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Now the Holy One had believed the Assassin's confession.

The prince rebelled?!

Xiao Yu shuddered, no matter whether the news is true or not, this time the capital will be bleeding, and in comparison, there are few people in Changzhou who die because of this.

In fact, what Ling Yan said can be said to be true.

Last night, the assassin couldn't stand the execution, and confided that it was the current crown prince Li Xian who had sent him. Originally, Li Jiande traveled secretly after being sick in the court, and not many people knew the news, so after the assassin came out, he suspected that the people behind the scenes were the few people in the palace who knew about his micro-clothes.

Even so, Li Jiande didn't quite believe that his son, who had always valued him, would do such a rebellious thing.

However, the Assassin provided him with a secret letter from the Prince. Seeing the familiar handwriting, Li Jiande could barely control his anger.

Li Xian is the eldest son, and he was born to the former queen, so he was naturally made the crown prince very early. However, among so many princes, Li Xian is not the best, but fortunately, although he is not top-notch, there is no problem in being a king.

It was only because of the poisoning that year that Li Xian's body was a little weak, and he only got better after recuperating for so many years, so his subordinates were a little worried.

The national teacher Ziyu Zhenren also thinks that Li Xian is the destined prince.

Li Xian is over forty years old this year, but Li Jiande is still very healthy. Could it be that he can't wait for him to give way, so he is already a prince, and he still does this thing of killing his father and killing the king?! Thinking of this, Li Jiande's face was as dark as the sky before the storm.

The eunuchs and maids who were waiting on the side did not dare to come out when they saw this atmosphere, for fear that they would lose their lives if they were not careful.

After a long time, Li Jiande suppressed his anger, drafted a secret decree and sent people back to the capital quickly, strictly investigated in Dali Temple, and asked Ling Yi and Hua Yue to confirm the authenticity of the letter.

Knowing that the emperor was investigating the assassins, Chen Zhuan had no time to distract himself from his daughter's offending of the new concubine and the Hua family, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sell it so that Hua Yao would be angry first, and trained a lot of good things to send over.

However, Chen Zhuan's envoy forgot that Hua Yao was not the only one who had offended Chen Jinhua.

Ling Yi reported another incident to Emperor Li Jiande of Qi.

……

Early in the morning, the study was quiet, except for the occasional sound of turning papers.

Xiao Xiazi opened the curtain, came in lightly, whispered a few words to Gonggong Li, and then retreated. Gonggong Li swept the dust, took two steps forward and bowed, "Holy Lord, General Ling is asking to see you outside." ”

Emperor Qi didn't raise his head: "Xuan." ”

Gonggong Li retreated and went outside, and said to Ling Yi, who was waiting there, with a smile on his face: "General Ling, the Holy Lord let you in." ”

Ling Yi nodded, straightened his robe, and walked into the room. The attendants in the back were busy and kept up with their things without squinting.

"Weichen Ling Yi knocks to see Your Majesty."

"No courtesy."

Li Jiande looked up, and his eyes suddenly fell on the tray held by the person behind him: "What did Ling Qing bring over today?" ”

Ling Yi said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the corn brought back from overseas by the Deputy Envoy of the Maritime Affairs Department has been planted. ”

Seeing Li Jiande's signal, Gonggong Li next to him immediately stepped forward to take the tray and put it on the bookcase, only to see that there were booklets and a brocade bag in the tray.

This corn was planted at the beginning of September, and now it has only been nearly three months and has been harvested?

And it's still a cold autumn and winter, is it really an ancient artifact?

Because this growth period is too short, Li Jiande even had some doubts about whether Ling Yi saw that he was in a bad mood these days, so he took the corn he brought back before to make up the number.

However, if this is the case, it is a crime of deception, and Ling Yi should not be so bold.

This should be true.

Thinking of this, Li Jiande couldn't help but feel a little excited, you must know that even in the warm and humid Lingnan winter, you can't grow grain, if this corn can really be planted in three months in the autumn and winter, do you still have to worry about famine or no military rations in Daqi?

Li Jiande opened the brocade bag and poured out the golden corn kernels.

This time, the corn looked bigger and fuller than the last time, and Li Jiande was in a very happy mood, picking up the record book and flipping through it.

Xiao Mansion, Qinghui Xiaozhu.

The sky was bright, Xiao Yu got out of the bed, covered his mouth and yawned, still a little confused and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Yuzhu heard the voice and walked over, hooking the soft gauze tent: "When it's almost dawn, the girl will get up?" ”

Hearing that it was so late, Xiao Yu sobered up a lot, nodded and got up from the bed. Yuzhu put on a wide coat for her and called for water to come in.

As soon as she finished freshening up, Xuemei from Chunhui Hall hurriedly came over and said that she was called by the saint.

Xiao Yu was a little unable to come back to her senses, what did the emperor do with her?

Qinghui Xiaozhu Yuzhu and Banxia were already panicked when they heard this, and Xia Zhi hurriedly asked: "I don't know what happened to the Holy Xuan girl in the past?" Does this garment need to be changed? ”

Xuemei shook her head and said: "I don't know, the father-in-law who passed the message didn't reveal anything, and now he is eating tea and waiting for the old lady, I'm afraid the girl will have to hurry up, just change into the clothes of the guest and go over." ”

At the moment, everyone was in a hurry.

After a while, Xiao Yu dressed decently and walked out of the Qinghui Xiaozhu and headed for Chunhui Hall. After greeting Mrs. Xiao and greeting the father-in-law, she took the carriage in the house and went out with the father-in-law to the Taishou Mansion on East Street.

Entering the main hall, Xiao Yu saw Ling Yi standing there, his nervousness eased a lot, and he stepped forward to greet him immediately.

Ling Yi smiled and said softly, "Don't worry, the Holy Lord summoned you here to ask about planting corn." ”

Xiao Yu felt a lot more relieved when he heard this, nodded knowingly, and walked into Emperor Qi's temporary study with Gonggong Li. (To be continued.) )
