Chapter 634: Necessary Transactions (Part II)
The midsummer dawn is early, it is only three o'clock, the sky is already bright, but there are not many pedestrians on the street, and there are only some early vendors carrying goods along the street, and the long sound of yo and drink is rippling on the empty street, but it does not seem abrupt, but it adds a bit of vitality and agility to the dead morning, at least in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is extremely harsh in Li Zhen's ears, which makes his already irritable heart even more annoyed. I wanted to drive all the noisy guys away, but I just wanted to think about it, but I couldn't do it, so he could only close his eyes irritably, and helplessly endure the harassment of the noise.
Li Zhen is very annoying, and it's not ordinary annoyance, it's the kind of annoyance that comes out of his bones, all of this is because he can't guess what Li Xian's intention is, even if he has gathered his henchmen to discuss for most of the night last night, but he still can't see through the mystery inside, the only thing he knows is that it must be related to the morning of tomorrow, but whether Li Xian wants to save Li Xian's life, or is trying to get a piece of the pie from this matter, but there is no way to judge, Although Li Zhen has made some plans based on various speculations as much as possible, but his heart is still not bottom-up, thinking of Gao Miao's domineering posture last night, Li Zhen's heart can't help but roll through a burst of trouble, he really can't figure out what kind of plan is hidden behind Li Xian's arrogance, and what kind of ambush there is, the only thing that can be determined is that Li Xian dares to do this, there must be a ruthless means, as soon as he thinks of this, Li Zhen's heart suddenly twitched, The sweat on his forehead was already pouring out unconsciously.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
Just when Li Zhen was frightened by Li Xian's possible methods, the slightly hurried greeting voice of the accompanying eunuch chief suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Huh?"
Li Zhen, who was disturbed, was awakened from his contemplation, opened his eyes, and whispered in confusion,
"Your Highness, you have arrived at the East Palace."
The car had actually been parked in the small square in front of the East Palace for a while, but Li Zhen didn't respond for a long time, and the chief eunuch had no choice but to say hello.
"Oh, good."
As soon as she heard that the East Palace had arrived, Li Zhen said casually, took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve, quickly wiped the sweat from her face, and stretched out her hand to straighten her clothes. Busy cleaning up the chaotic thoughts in his heart, a warm smile instantly bloomed on his face.
"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
Seeing that Li Zhen had already appeared, Gao Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he walked quickly in front of Li Zhen and bowed meticulously.
"Father-in-law Gao doesn't have to be polite, Xiao Wang's brand is here, and Father-in-law Lao Gao will make a voice on his behalf, okay?"
Although the irritability in his heart was still undiminished, it did not prevent Li Zhen from putting on the posture of Corporal Lixian, but seeing that he took out a sign from his wide robe, handed it to Gao Miao with a smile, and said very politely.
"The prince is polite, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an explanation, as soon as the prince arrives, you can go straight inside, please."
Gao Miao did not reach out to pick up Li Zhen's sign, but took a small step back respectfully, turned sideways, and made a "please" gesture.
"Well, then Father-in-law Lao Gao will lead the way, please."
Hearing Gao Miao's words, Li Zhen didn't say much, just smiled and withdrew the sign from his sleeve, waved his hand, and commanded politely.
"Lord Wang, please!"
Gao Miao didn't say more, nodded in response, led the way first, took Li Zhen into the palace gate, and walked all the way, not long after, he was already in the back garden, and he could see Li Xian, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, was already sitting in a small pavilion, looking at the two people who were approaching with a smile on his face.
"Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince."
As soon as she saw Li Xian's bright smile, Li Zhen not only didn't feel a little warmth, but a chill surged up in her heart, but she didn't dare to be rude, so she hurriedly rushed to the front of the pavilion and bowed very respectfully.
"Eighth Uncle doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat."
Li Xian accepted Li Zhen's gift very calmly, smiled and pointed to the opposite side of the next few sons, and motioned for Li Zhen to sit down by herself.
"Thank Your Highness for giving me a seat, the old minister is presumptuous."
Although he was reluctant to play a game of long talk with Li Xian, "the king has a gift, and he can't resign." Even if Li Zhen didn't want to, he could only thank him, raised his feet and walked up the stairs in front of the pavilion, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat opposite Li Xian with a slight sideways turn.
"Eighth uncle, it's hot and panicked, and please drink a cup of tea to cool off the heat, this is a new dragon well before the rain, and the little nephew boiled it with the snow stored in the last year, although it is not excellent, but it is also quite impressive."
Li Xian was not in a hurry to talk about business, but with a smile on his face, he reached out and took down the teapot from the burning stove on the side, filled the two jade bowls on the table, and then gestured with a smile and said very politely.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the tea, the old minister has confessed."
Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Li Zhen was not an ordinary person after all, but he would not show much timidity at this time, he picked up the tea bowl with a smile, sent it to his mouth, took a small sip shallowly, closed his eyes slightly, and tasted it carefully, and then, he nodded happily and said in approval: "Good tea, this tea is fragrant and sweet, the entrance is not astringent, and the aftertaste is endless, it is really a rare good tea, and you can drink the best tea made by His Royal Highness, and the old minister is fortunate to have three lives." ”
"The eighth uncle has an overreputation, one of the ways of tea is broad and profound, the little nephew is just a beginner, it is really difficult to call it good, but the eighth uncle has a lot of research on the tea ceremony, hehe, the word endless aftertaste points out the essence of the tea ceremony, and there is nothing more than this in the world, what does the eighth uncle think?"
Li Xian smiled slightly, and nodded something in his words, and the meaning in it was really a little "evocative".
"It is true that this is true, in the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, the old ministers admire and admire."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Li Zhen's heart immediately lifted, fortunately, the city was deep, but it was not brought to his face, he just smiled and echoed a few times, and did not pick up Li Xian's words.
"The eighth uncle also sees it this way, it coincides with the little nephew, very good, very good, the little nephew was robbed by thieves at the beginning of the month, although the loss is not very big, but the face is a little unbearable, hey, under the bright future, there are villains who dare to risk the disapproval of the world, ignore hundreds of thousands of victims, and brazenly attack the granary, such a thing that is indignant and intolerable, the little nephew will not rest with the thief, I don't know if the eighth uncle is willing to help the little nephew?"
Li Xian didn't care whether Li Zhen took it or not, his face suddenly turned cold, and he let out cruel words in a cold manner, and his heart was full of evil aura that could not be concealed.
"This ......, hehe, what His Highness said is that thieves are rampant, it is time to have a good life and clean up, fortunately Wu Shangshu has worked hard, and now the case has been brought to light, His Highness's wish should be fulfilled."
Rao is Li Zhen can be regarded as a brave person, but he was rushed by the sudden spurt of evil qi from Li Xian's body, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered, plus he already had a ghost in his heart, and a slight panic flashed on his face involuntarily, but he didn't completely lose control, but forced a perfunctory smile.
"Well, Wu Shangshu is a saint, and he is also reliable, and the little nephew can be trusted, but when it comes to the truth, I'm afraid it may not be, what does the eighth uncle think?"
Although the change in Li Zhen's complexion was subtle, how could he hide Li Xian's observation, seeing that his heart was obviously confused, Li Xian secretly sneered in his heart, but he did not relax there, but asked further.
"This, well, this, the old minister is not the person in charge of the trial, and he doesn't know much about the case, so it's really difficult to come to a conclusion, and I ask Your Highness Haihan to make a decision."
Li Zhen is an experienced person in the end, although he was panicked by Li Xian's repeated questions, but he could deal with it, but he didn't leak a drop of water, and after two stalks, he was already shirking clean, and he refused to express his attitude on this matter.
Hehe, I don't know, this old boy shirks it simply, interestingly, interestingly!
Li Xianyuan didn't expect that only two or three sentences would convince Li Zhen, and when he saw him playing Tai Chi, he didn't take it to heart, but he just scolded a few words, and changed the words and said: "Eighth uncle, don't misunderstand, the little nephew is just a feeling, just complaining, don't take it seriously, the eighth uncle is slow to see the strange." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, but if the old minister can help, His Royal Highness just commands, how dare the old minister shirk."
Li Xian said it lightly, but how dare Li Zhen underestimate it, and became more and more cautious in his words.
"Okay, the little nephew likes to listen to this, hehe, don't hide it from the eighth uncle, the little nephew really has something to ask the eighth uncle to help with."
Li Zhen just said kind words, but Li Xian obviously didn't see it that way, and climbed up the pole without hesitation.
"Your Highness, please speak, what the old minister can do, he will never dare to resign."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Li Zhen's heartstrings immediately tightened, and he arched his hand towards Li Xian with a solemn face, and replied generously.
"Eighth Uncle doesn't have to be nervous, the little nephew just wants to ask the eighth uncle about the two of them, hmm, I don't know if the eighth uncle can know Zhang Chu and Yan Wanshan?"
Li Xian nodded happily, which can be regarded as returning Li Zhen's gift, and then looked at Li Zhen with a smile, and asked casually and seriously.
"Huh?"
As soon as Li Xian's words came out, Li Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, and the cold sweat on her back couldn't stop flowing down under her eyes......
