"Don't worry, this king counts when he speaks." Li Chengxuan walked up to Adu and looked down at him, "However, you have to answer this king one more question." ”

"What's the problem?" Adu looked up in delight.

"The prince is really, asking a question will drive us all out." Xiling Yue complained rather dissatisfied.

Just now, Li Chengxuan said that he wanted to ask Adu another question, but when everyone pricked up their ears to listen, he suddenly opened his mouth to "clear the scene" and let the other three avoid it, so the three of them had to wait outside the door.

Xi Lingyue glanced through the crack in the door, but unfortunately she didn't see anything, she was the most curious, and couldn't help but ask the other two: "What questions do you think the prince will ask?" ”

Guo Zhongting touched his chin: "It's about King Teng, or Empress Wu?" When it comes to royal secrets, we can't hear it? ”

"Makes sense!"

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and speculated: "Maybe he is interrogating the person who instructed Adu to kill you." ”

Xiling Yue shrugged her shoulders: "Do you still need to ask?" Who else could there be besides Li Qi? The prince must be able to guess. ”

Guo Zhongting also agreed: "Yes, isn't this obvious? Knowing the inside story of Wang Qiuluo's death, it must be Li Qi who can mislead Adu and hold a grudge against Yue'er's sister. ”

Xiao Yi was silent and did not answer.

At this moment, the door of the house was opened, and Li Chengxuan walked out of the house, followed by Adu. The former said to the latter, "Go away, and what the king promised you will be done." ”

Adu was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chengxuan, thanked him for a thousand thanks, and then went back to the palace under the arrangement of Steward Fang.

Guo Zhongting looked at Adu's distant back, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, even if he gets out of slavery, he is also a eunuch, and it is hopeless to marry a wife and have children in this life." ”

"At least he's free." Xiling Yue said this, and looked at Li Chengxuan again, "Lord Wang, what did you ask him just now?" ”

Li Chengxuan glanced at her casually, as if to say, "If I want to tell you, what else do you want to avoid."

Xiling Yue was a little disappointed, pursed her lips, and stopped making a sound.

Guo Zhongting asked: "Lord, what should I do about this matter?" Just let it pass? ”

"Nope." Li Chengxuan instructed, "Zhong Ting, tomorrow you and I will divide into two ways, I will take Jiming into the palace once, and you will take Xiling to find your father." ”

"What are you looking for my father for?" Guo Zhongting didn't figure it out.

"I suspect that 'His Royal Highness' is a descendant of King Teng or the martial family, so Li Qi is so sensitive to the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" that he does not hesitate to report his friends. This is no small matter, and I need your father's help to investigate. ”

Guo Zhongting also understood the stakes, and hurriedly agreed, and asked, "What about you, prince?" What are you doing with Brother Xiao into the palace? ”

"One is to deal with Adu's affairs, and the other is to continue to investigate the birth gang." Li Chengxuan paused for a moment, "I'm going to meet the Guardian Lieutenant of the Shence Army." ”

"I'll go too!" Xiling Yue hurriedly made a statement.

"Don't enter the palace for the time being." Li Chengxuan frowned at her, "Adu's incident reminded me that the theft of the Birth Gang has already startled the snake, you have no power and power, and if you enter the palace again, you will be caught in the net." ”

Xilingyue was very unconvinced when she heard this: "Then why did you let Brother Yi accompany you?" He also has no power and power, isn't he throwing himself into the net? ”

The original meaning of Xi Lingyue's words was to use Xiao Yi's identity to refute. Li Chengxuan misunderstood, thinking that she was concerned about Xiao Yi's safety, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "He is Ziqing's future son-in-law, who are you?" ”

One sentence made Xilingyue speechless, and her face gradually turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry, wronged, or embarrassed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "Yue'er, the prince is thinking about your safety. Of the four of us, you are the only woman, and you have no background, if the mastermind behind the scenes is in the palace, you will be attacked first. To be on the safe side, it's better not to enter the palace. ”

Xiao Yi's voice was like a string song, gradually calming Xilingyue's impatient heart. She pursed her lips and stopped making a sound, only glanced at Li Chengxuan secretly with her spare eyes, and waited for him to apologize first.

Li Chengxuan saw her careful thoughts, so he lowered his voice and explained: "Yes, you are injured, and the palace is dangerous, if there is an accident, I may not be able to protect you." Obedient, and go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion with Zhong Ting, the identity of 'His Royal Highness' is more important than the birth of the Gang. ”

Xi Lingyue felt a little more comfortable at this time, clasped her arms in front of her chest, and responded hypocritically: "Okay! I will listen to you. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Xiling Yue got into the carriage to the eldest princess's mansion according to Li Chengxuan's intentions. Guo Zhongting greeted her in front of the mansion early and said with a smile: "Oh, I told my father that you were coming over, you don't know how nervous he was, so he sent my mother into the palace early this morning." ”

Xiling Yue sighed slightly: "I'm afraid that I'm not your sister, so that the eldest princess and Guo Ju Ma Kong will be happy." ”

"How can there be empty joy? At least we're still friends, right? Guo Zhongting winked at her.

Xilingyue laughed out loud with a "poof".

Guo Zhongting led her to the eldest princess's mansion. The two walked into the house along the stone steps of white marble, and what they saw was a spring pool, and the wall of the pool was also made of white marble, which looked exceptionally cool and pleasant. The whole house can be seen everywhere high walls and green tiles, glazed vermilion eaves, pavilions and pavilions are all fine, some countertops, the material of the corridor columns Xilingyue can not be called at all.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion is different from Zhenhai Li Qi's mansion, the latter is a unique pattern in the south of the Yangtze River, delicate and exquisite, seeing mountains and rivers, exquisite pink walls, and unique and elegant. Although it is also luxurious, it is mostly a waste of manpower and material resources, such as the lake dug in the backyard and the small islands built on the lake.

The luxury of the eldest princess's mansion is different, its scale is not as big as Zhenhai Li Qi's mansion, but all the courtyard buildings, from the beams and pillars to the walls, as small as a piece of bricks and tiles, are all made of high-quality materials, and even the flower pots planted with exotic flowers and plants are pure black marble! It has to be transported all the way from Lingnan Road!

Xiling Yue sighed as she walked, and finally understood what was at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the weather of Chang'an, such a luxurious and atmospheric mansion was really magnificent! She silently compared in her heart, and found that Li Chengxuan's Fuwang Mansion could not be compared with here at all, but she couldn't understand why the scale of the eldest princess's mansion was even more powerful than a prince's mansion.

Before she could think clearly, the two had already walked to Guo Yan's study. After a brief greeting, Xilingyue told Guo Yan everything that happened in Zhenhai, focusing on the reason why the Adu sisters and brothers became official slaves, as well as the fact that Qi Changtian was in vain about King Teng and was denounced by Li Qi, which brought out the identity of "His Royal Highness" and "Pavilion Master".

Because the internal situation is too complicated, Xilingyue talked about it for more than an hour, and even Guo Zhongting heard some details for the first time. Both father and son listened very seriously, and Guo Yan gradually tightened his eyebrows: "It seems that Li Qi was not a false accusation back then, Qi Changtian was really disrespectful to King Xianteng." ”
