In the early morning, the rain and dew in the imperial garden have not dried, the cool breeze is blowing, and the morning birds are chirping, and the hot summer morning is always the most comfortable and pleasant time of the day. The royal gardens are filled with rare flowers, the earth is fragrant, and the grass is full of greenery, so anyone who arrives here will be refreshed and refreshed.

Qin Mubai took Li Zhi and Li Mingda to play Tai Chi in the open space between the flower beds. The two little guys are very different in their ability to imitate. Although Li Mingda is young, she can raise Emperor Taizong's one-handed flying white book to be eight points like a god, which shows that the quality of the sky is extraordinary. Even when playing Tai Chi, the immature push, retraction, punch and kick are quite cute. In contrast, Li Zhi, who is already ten years old, is more dull and stunned, Qin Mubai has taught him many times and still poses in some funny and strange poses, like a monkey show, which makes Qin Mubai and Li Mingda laugh from time to time.

Those palace maids and eunuchs watched Qin Mubai and the others boxing, and they were all curious and funny: What kind of martial arts is this? Slow and lazy, just like an eighty-year-old lady and old man, this can also strengthen the body and kill the enemy?

Just when Qin Mubai and the others were playing happily, and the atmosphere in the imperial garden was also relaxed and comfortable, the eldest grandson suddenly rushed over.

"General Changsun, what's the alarm?" Qin Mubai took a few steps forward and said.

"General Qin, it's not good." The eldest grandson glanced vigilantly at the palace maids and eunuchs and others not far away, and said to Qin Mubai with his ear, "The last general went to the Immortal Palace and found that Princess Gaoyang was not in the palace!" asked the palace people, but no one knew where the princess went. The last general had no choice but to alarm Concubine Yin De to ask her, and Concubine Yin De said that the princess was ordered by her to go out of the palace last night and go to the third prince Wu Wang Ke to get a local product that King Wu had given to Concubine Yin De from Anzhou. ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help frowning: Obviously, this is Concubine Yin De helping to lie! The eldest grandson naturally didn't dare to interrogate Concubine Yin De, but he knew that the princess couldn't explain if she was lost, so she came to tell me and threw this hot mountain to me...... It's strange, Princess Gaoyang didn't return to the harem for the night yesterday, where will she go?

"General Qin, how is this good?" Seeing Qin Mubai's pensive expression, the eldest grandson asked.

"Your Majesty only let us look at the princess, and didn't let us do anything else." Qin Mubai said lightly, "Since Concubine Yin De said that Princess Gaoyang went to King Wu, you can just take a team of people to King Wu's mansion to invite the princess back." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? The eldest grandson gritted his teeth a little depressed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general said something that shouldn't be said, it is obvious that Concubine Yin De is helping Princess Gaoyang to lie, and Princess Gaoyang has not gone to King Wu's mansion nine times out of ten!" So where did she go? …… If the last general really takes people to King Wu's Mansion to ask for people, then he will offend people! If the princess was there, Concubine Yin De and the princess would definitely blame the last general for having a lot of trouble, and would say that even if the last general didn't invite her, she would come back; If the princess wasn't there...... Wouldn't that pierce the lies of Concubine Yin De, and disgust King Wu? ”

"Why do you put so much effort into it?" Qin Mubai said, "You also said it, this is something that shouldn't be said, since you shouldn't say it, then you shouldn't think about it." You just have to remember that our hundred horsemen are on an errand under the emperor's order, and everything is handled impartially. Whether it is King Wu, Concubine Yin De, or Princess Gaoyang, they will not blame us, because we are just acting on orders. Don't talk nonsense, take someone to King Wu's mansion! ”

"Okay...... The last will obey. The eldest grandson nodded helplessly and retreated.

Qin Mubai looked at his back, and couldn't help but squint slightly at the corner of his eyes: This eldest grandson is clever in his mind, and he is also exquisite in all aspects. But he is a little suspicious, indecisive, and his mind is not right, he is afraid of wolves and tigers, and he is afraid of being responsible, and he is not neat when he has many concerns. If one day a powerful person pulls him away, or if I am in trouble, he will not hesitate to betray me or fall into the trap of me.

Then again, where will Princess Gaoyang go after leaving the palace all night and not returning? Could it be that she really went to "clean up" her beloved love? Hanging, what way will she come up with to clean up the house and leave love? …… Outside the palace, there wasn't much place for her to stay. One is the Wu Palace, the other is the Prince's Mansion and the Han Palace, and then the ...... Away from the earth!

By the way, she secretly left the palace at this time and didn't return all night, and she definitely didn't want to let the people of the royal family know, so it was very likely that she went to Lichenju! - But what did she do when she went to the Desert dwelling? The demon is kind and compassionate, Gao Yanggong mainly asks her for help, she must be embarrassed to refuse...... But to deal with Fang Yiai, what can the demon help her?

……

Qin Mubai was puzzled, and then he simply didn't want to. I didn't mix anything with it anyway, I just hope that this little devil doesn't make things too much, and doesn't involve some innocent people to suffer.

Until noon, the eldest grandson and the whole team did not come back. Qin Mubai muttered in his heart, taking advantage of the moment when Li Zhi and Li Mingda were taking a nap, he returned to the barracks and rode on the Huoyun horse, and galloped out of the palace and went straight to King Wu's mansion.

In King Wu's mansion, Li Kegao was sleeping comfortably on the couch and taking a nap, and the two maids were fanning beside him, and they were also a little drowsy, but they didn't see Changsun Jian and others.

Qin Mubai had no choice but to wake up Li Ke and Li Ke. Li Ke opened his eyes sleepily, saw that it was Qin Mubai, and couldn't help but smile: "What day is today, my quiet little palace is so lively?" Mu Bai, why are you here? ”

After saying that, Li Ke waved his hand and signaled that the left and right sides would retreat.

"Come, it's very hot, you can sit down and drink a cup of chilled white fungus lotus seed soup to relieve the heat." Li Ke was not in a hurry.

Qin Mubai sat down and said, "Your Highness, have the eldest grandson and the others come to your house in the morning?" ”

"It's here, isn't this still resting in the palace barracks, accompanied by Yin Yang and others drinking." Li Ke smiled strangely.

Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows slightly: "Princess Gaoyang didn't come to you yesterday, right?" ”

Li Ke was silent for a moment, and smiled weirdly: "I know it's useless to lie to you, you guessed right, even I don't know where she has gone now." ”

"Sure enough......" Qin Mubai gritted his teeth, "So you left Changsun Jian and the others behind, what excuse did you find to say that the princess had gone out, and then let her go back to the palace with Changsun Jian and the others when she came back?" ”

"Not bad. What else can I do? Do you want me to tell them that Gao Yang didn't come to me yesterday? Li Ke shook his head in embarrassment, "This troublesome girl, I don't know where the wild is now." I secretly sent people to many places to look for it, but they couldn't find it. ”

"Including the world's first wine and the dwelling of the world?"

"Of course."

Qin Mubai was confused for a moment - then where could she go?

"Actually...... I've been wondering, is it possible for Gao Yang to go to the fourth child? ”

"Wei Wangtai?" Qin Mubai frowned, "Why do you say that?" ”

"It's simple." Li Ke said, "Gao Yang must have escaped from the palace to find a way because he opposed the marriage with Fang Yiai." She was powerless to fight against her father and didn't dare to go to fight for Xuanling, so she had to take the knife with her bereavement. However, Fang Yiai has always been the fourth brother's best friend, and the fourth brother is currently very favored by his father. Therefore, no matter what method Gao Yang plans to use to deal with Fang Yiai, she must first go to the fourth child to find out. First, it may be to inquire about the person who is Fang Yiai, and secondly, it may be to test whether the fourth child will help her, or support Fang Yiai. ”

"I see! In this case, it is really possible. Princess Gaoyang is not familiar with Fang Yiai, if she wants to leave love in the whole house, she must understand him first. And the best way to understand him is to ask for news from acquaintances around him, King Wei is her imperial brother, then he is undoubtedly the best candidate. If Princess Gaoyang can get the help of King Wei to clean up the house, it will undoubtedly increase the odds. Qin Mubai pondered for a while, suddenly his heart moved, and he asked in surprise, "Your Highness, how did you know about Princess Gaoyang's marriage?" ”

Li Ke was slightly stunned, lightly picked the corners of his mouth and was silent for a moment, and said, "I knew about it a few days ago." ”

"What?"

"Yes." Li Ke said lightly, "One evening a few days ago, my father suddenly summoned me to the palace and announced that I would go to the imperial study of the Wude Palace to discuss matters. The father said that when the samurai was renewed, there was also the eldest princess of the royal family who officiated at the wedding, and Fang Xuanling, the meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty, accepted the daughter-in-law, so he could not lose his dignity. Maybe my father thinks that the eldest brother of the crown prince is currently a little immoral and has a bad reputation, and he sent the fourth brother to come forward and gave people a handle too much, which made people say that he had a heart to abandon his position, so he asked me to be a matchmaker and officiate the marriage. ”

"Then, the emperor will let you take advantage of this momentum and come back again?" Qin Mubai said.

"It should be." Li Ke said indifferently, "After I show up like this, my father will see everyone's reactions, and then decide whether to reinstate me as an official, or let me do something as appropriate." ”

Since he already knew, why didn't he talk about it a few days ago? …… No wonder he repeatedly asked me if I was "interesting" to Princess Gaoyang that day, it turned out that he had known about this marriage for a long time. At that time, my answer was very affirmative, saying that I only regarded Princess Gaoyang as a friend and playmate, and regarded her as an ignorant child. At that time, he was probably relieved, and he didn't mention it in order not to spoil everyone's interest.

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai sighed secretly in his heart: These people from the royal family, who have been soaked in political bitterness since childhood, are really well-informed and calculating, and they are too able to hide things. I don't have to go back and ask about the past, so as not to cause embarrassment and unpleasantness.

"Since it is possible that Princess Gaoyang went to the Wei Palace, why has she not heard from her until now?" Qin Mubai asked tentatively, "Could it be that King Wei really promised her to help her clean up her house, and this plan is currently being implemented?" ”

"How is that possible?" Li Ke smiled indifferently, with a slight hint of contempt, "How could the fourth child take such a big risk for the sake of a half-sister?" As expected, not only would he not help Gao Yang, but he would also betray Gao Yang as quickly as possible and stab the matter directly to his father. Of course, he would definitely use the most high-sounding excuse. ”

Qin Mubai was speechless for a long time after hearing this: "If that's the case...... So now, it is very likely that Princess Gaoyang is in the emperor's imperial study and has been scolded? ”

"Now that you know everything, then it's time to go to the Wei Wangfu to find someone, just say that I told you that Gao Yang came out of me and then it was possible to go to the Wei Wangfu to play, and then pretend to be ignorant of everything and go back to his father to die. In this way, you can get away with being derelict in your duties. Li Ke smiled indifferently, "I'll only tell you this." The eldest grandson? He didn't want to hear a word from me. ”
