In recent days, Li Xian has been in a very bad mood.

The situation that I thought was under my control turned out to be complicated and strange because of Lu Xiaoxian's appearance.

Even Li Nunu, who has always been the most obedient adopted daughter, is now disobedient to Li Xian, how can he be in a good mood?

"Are slaves still kneeling outside?" Li Xian finally stopped and asked Yang Si.

Yang Si nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the county lord has been kneeling for seven or eight hours since last night!" ”

The princess and county lord who lives in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, which one is not arrogant, but Li Nunu's temper is extremely good, which is well-known in the palace.

Li Nunu has never embarrassed anyone, not only ordinary palace maids and eunuchs remember her good, but even Yang Si is no exception, and he has a good impression of Li Nunu.

"This kid, why is he so tough? I told her that I have my own opinions on this matter, isn't she forcing me? Li Xian sighed.

"Your Majesty, what now? If it goes on like this, the county lord will definitely be seriously ill! Yang Si asked softly.

Li Xian waved his hand in disbelief and said, "You take a coat and put it on her first, Rong Zhen will think about it!" ”

Yang Si nodded, took a coat, and walked out of the hall.

When he came to Li Nunu's side, Yang Si whispered: "County Lord, why are you suffering?" Here, put it on, don't freeze your body! ”

Li Nunu raised his head, looked at Yang Si with a grateful expression, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Before the person arrived, a graceful and graceful voice floated into his ears: "Slave, you are really affectionate!" ”

When Yang Si saw the person coming, his face changed, and he saluted respectfully: "The slave has seen His Highness!" ”

Li Nunu turned around, saw that it was Princess Taiping, and struggled to turn around and salute her, Princess Taiping hurriedly walked around to her, helped Li Nunu up, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "If Lu Xiaoxian sees you like this, not to mention immediately bowing down under your pomegranate skirt, at least I will be grateful." ”

Li Nunu's originally pale face suddenly flushed, and she explained to Princess Taiping: "Your Highness! It's not like that......"

"I don't know what kind of blessing this Lu Xiaoxian has cultivated in his life!" Princess Taiping said quickly, "Sensei is polite to me, don't worry, with me, your sweetheart will be fine!" ”

"Wait for my good news!" Princess Taiping put down a sentence and followed Yang Si into the palace.

……

After sending off Princess Taiping, Li Xian finally made up his mind: Lu Xiaoxian's matter has reached the point where it must be decisive, otherwise there will be chickens and dogs in and out of the palace, don't think about celebrating the New Year in peace.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xian instructed Yang Si: "Hurry up and send someone, and see Cui Xiangjin, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers!" ”

……

Approaching the end of the year, most of the officials and scribes in the third class and six rooms of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion went home to buy New Year's goods. But Zhou Xian couldn't go home, he sat in front of the three-foot public desk in the lobby in a daze, stunned like a clay sculpture.

Although it was cold and windy outside, Zhou Xian was like an ant on a hot pot, and his heart was restless.

Today, it is the deadline set by His Majesty for the closure of Lu Xiaoxian's murder case, but Zhou Xian has no clue how to conclude this case.

If Lu Xiaoxian is found guilty, Princess Taiping will definitely not agree. But if Lu Xiaoxian is not guilty, how can Princess An Le let herself go?

Zhou Xian knew in his heart that no matter what he did this time, he would not be able to protect himself, and he could not drag it out indefinitely, after all, His Majesty was still waiting for the result, if there was no conclusion, how could he explain it to His Majesty?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xian didn't have a clue.

In the end, Zhou Xian bit his teeth and made a bold decision: hang up the crown and leave.

Just do it, Zhou Xian raised his hand and was about to take off his official hat, but saw several people walking towards the lobby.

Zhou Xian felt strange, how could anyone still come at this time.

When Zhou Xian looked carefully at the person walking in front, he couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Chenjing Zhaoyin Zhou Xian, meet Your Majesty!" ”

It was none other than Li Xian.

In order to thoroughly find out the truth of Lu Xiaoxian's case, Li Xian decided to visit Jingzhao Mansion privately.

After Li Xian summoned Cui Xiang, he went straight to Jingzhao Mansion with Yang Si and others.

"Excuse me!" Li Xian waved his hand.

Yang Si moved a chair out of nowhere, dusted it off, and asked Li Xian to sit down.

"Zhou Aiqing, I wonder if Lu Xiaoxian's case can be closed?" As soon as Li Xian sat down, he went straight in and asked Zhou Xian.

After listening to Li Xian's question, Zhou Xian's scalp was numb for a while, and he was really afraid of something.

Zhou Xian secretly regretted in his heart, why didn't he make up his mind to hang up the crown earlier, but he was blocked by His Majesty, and now he can't leave if he wants to.

"Your Majesty, this case ...... The case is closed! Zhou Xian said stiffly.

"Is this Lu Xiaoxian guilty or innocent?" Li Xian stared at Zhou Xian and asked.

"This ......" Zhou Xian hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Of course, Cui Xian knew why Zhou Xian was difficult to answer, he rolled his eyes, and suggested to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, it seems that Zhou Mansion Yin has something unspeakable. Since the case has been closed, let Zhou Fuyin transfer the case file, and you will know at a glance! ”

After listening to Cui Xiang's suggestion, Zhou Xian was so happy that he almost didn't hug him and kiss him.

Cui Xiang's suggestion is really wonderful, if His Majesty personally reads the case file, in the end, whether Lu Xiaoxian is guilty or not, it is all hand-picked by His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with him. In this way, whether it is Princess Anle or Princess Taiping, there is no way to find out what is wrong with you.

Li Xian nodded, and instructed Zhou Xian: "That is the case, Zhou Aiqing, someone will immediately transfer the case file to me, and I will personally inspect it." ”

"Obey the order, the minister will go to the case file!" Zhou Xianyi went to the torture room to transfer the case file.

Cui Xiang invited Li Xian to sit in front of the public case, and after a while, Zhou Xian took the case file and spread it on the desk in front of Li Xian.

Li Xian picked up the case file and examined it carefully, and soon, the case file was finished.

Li Xian raised his head, stared at Zhou Xian and asked puzzledly: "The record in this case file is clear, the facts of this case are simple, the evidence is conclusive, it is clear that Xu Cheng committed suicide to blame Lu Xiaoxian, why can't the case be closed for a long time?" ”

"This ......" Zhou Xian didn't expect the ball to kick around, and finally kicked it in front of him.

Cui Xiang reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, this Xu Cheng is the person of Princess Anle......

Cui Xiang was very smart, and it sounded like he didn't say anything, but Li Xian clearly understood the meaning of his words.

Li Xian sighed and stopped talking, Zhou Xian didn't dare to come out, and there was silence in the lobby.

After a long time, Li Xian stood up.

Yang Si hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?" ”

"No!" Li Xian shook his head, "Go to the prison and see Lu Xiaoxian!" ”

The door of the Jingzhao Mansion prison was suddenly opened, and the chaotic footsteps made Leng Qing suddenly alert.

Leng Qing stood up, held the saber in his hand, and stared at the person who came.

"Brother Leng, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaoxian was also shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Leng Qing didn't answer Lu Xiaoxian's question, he saw the person who came clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down to the person: "Leng Qing, the chief arrester of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment, see Your Majesty!" ”

Wu Yanxiu also gave a salute: "Minister Wu Yanxiu, see Your Majesty!" ”

Yes? It turned out to be Li Xian, and Lu Xiaoxian looked a little dazed.

"Leng Aiqing, Yanxiu, get up!" Li Xian nodded to the two of them and said, "You two have worked hard these days!" ”

Leng Qing's eyes were a little moist, his nose was a little pantothenic, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister is not hard, Your Majesty, Lu Xiaoxian was falsely imprisoned, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Cui Xiang smiled behind Li Xian and said, "Xiao Xian's grievances, Your Majesty has found out, you can rest assured!" ”

Leng Qing kowtowed to Li Xian and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

After Leng Qing got up, Li Xian walked to the door of Lu Xiaoxian's prison again, and Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly kowtowed to thank Li Xian.

Li Xian nodded, didn't speak, just stared at Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian knelt on the ground, neither daring to get up nor raising his head.

After a long time, Li Xiancai said, "Get up!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian stood up and stood aside.

"Open the prison door!" Li Xian commanded.

After the cell door opened, Li Xian raised his leg and was about to enter the cell.

Yang Si was immediately anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no!" ”

Li Xian turned his head and looked at Yang Si strangely: "Why not?" ”

Yang Si bitterly persuaded him, "Your Majesty is the respect of the world, and you must not enter the prison cell, this is too unlucky!" ”

Li Xian snorted coldly and said: "Lu Xiaoxian is a meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is locked up in this prison. As the son of the Tang Dynasty, I owe it to him, why can't I go into his cell and talk to him? ”

Yang Si snorted: "But ......"

"Nothing!" Li Xian pointed at Cui Xiang, Leng Qing and Wu Yanxiu, and said angrily to Yang Si, "Even if I am blind, are they all blind?"

Yang Si sighed.

His friendship with Lu Xiaoxian is no worse than Leng Qing, to be honest, Yang Si is also the one who wants to save Lu Xiaoxian the most. However, in order to ensure His Majesty's safety, he could only hide this thought in his heart.

Li Xian snorted coldly: "So many people have been running around to plead for mercy in order to save Lu Xiaoxian's life, just by virtue of this, I don't believe that Lu Xiaoxian is a ruthless, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial person!" ”

After that, Li Xianyi walked into the cell without hesitation.

Leng Qing and Yang Si hurriedly moved the chair in, Li Xian didn't have the attention in the palace, he sat on the chair, he pointed to another chair, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "You sit too!" ”

Let himself be on an equal footing with Li Xian, how could Lu Xiaoxian do such a thing, he hurriedly said: "The grass people don't dare!" ”

"If you want to sit, you will sit!" Li Xian said unhappily, "I came here today, so I don't need to pay attention to those many etiquettes!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Cui Xiang outside the prison door, Cui Xiang nodded at him slightly, and Lu Xiaoxian sat down.

"You all wait outside, I want to have a good chat with Lu Xiaoxian!" Li Xian instructed a few people in front of the cell door again.
