Hai time.

Everywhere in the Zhangren Palace, the supreme capital of Wanhua Emperor, there was silence. The shadows of the trees in front of the Evergreen Hall are swaying, almost quiet and the wind is endless.

The eunuch on duty tonight is Xiao Jizi under the orders of Gonggong Li.

He was leaning against the corner of the wall and was about to take a nap, when he suddenly heard a few footsteps in the hall, and he hurriedly stood up.

Of all the little eunuchs, he was the most clever and clever, and his ears were the most good. Therefore, Gonggong Li specially instructed him to be on duty at night, so that if there was any movement in the saint, he could immediately come forward to serve.

The door of the Evergreen Hall was pushed open with a creak, and it was Li Houcong, the fourth monarch of the Cangwu Kingdom, who stepped out.

Dressed in a loose robe, he had nothing on his body, but he simply pulled a gentleman's bun on his head. Xiao Jizi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: A well-known moral benevolent monarch, even in the dead of night, when he is the most relaxed, he has such an extraordinary temperament, which is admirable.

Emperor Wen glanced at Xiao Jizi on the side and smiled slightly: "I'm a little bored, if you want to take a walk, you don't have to follow." ”

"Yes." Xiao Jizi retreated in amusement. According to the master's explanation, the saint said that he didn't have to follow and still had to follow, this was the rule, but he had to hide in the distance and not let the saint see it. When something is called, you can't go out immediately, so it will seem that you have been peeping in the dark, and you have to wait for a while.

Xiao Jizi is already very skilled in grasping the proportions in this, and even Gonggong Li praised him for being about to leave the school.

Emperor Wen slowly walked to the auspicious iron tree, and sighed in his heart: Father, your entrustment to the child has finally been done.

On the side of the couch there is no room for others to sleep soundly.

If the Muyun clan was as smooth as Emperor Gaozu was when he was there, and they were in harmony with Ming, it would be a good conversation. But he Mu Yun's achievements are high, and he is the best in the world, and when he arrives at Mu Yunduo, he wants to turn over the clouds, and he has the evil idea of power. Although this matter is not difficult to understand, it should not be absolutely impossible, he should not put his father above the court, and bully me to ascend the throne at a young age, taking advantage of the situation to monopolize power.

It is in response to what his father said: Only by removing the Muyun clan can this country be completely brought into the hands of the Li family, and there is no need to be someone else's emperor.

Emperor Wen slowly took out two slender cylinders from his sleeves, took out a note from each cylinder, read it word by word, and after confirming that it was correct, he carefully stuffed back into the cylinder, and shouted loudly: "Come on, take the pigeon harrier." ”

When Xiao Jizi heard that it was a pigeon harrier, he knew that it was important, so he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Where is Your Majesty going to take the pigeon harrier to fly to?" ”

"One to the garrison of the Hanjiang Ferry, and the other to Bihai Taiye City."

"Yes!"

In a long time, however, the pigeon's cage had been taken and placed on the stone table in the Songtao Pavilion in front of the hall.

Emperor Wen took out the pigeon harrier with his own hands, and tied the cylinders of Fang Cai to the pigeon harrier with his own hands, and sent them to the sky with a solemn expression. The pigeon harrier flapped its wings a few times, and soon disappeared into the cold moonlight in the sky.

Father, wait a little longer, after tonight, everything will be settled. When the time comes, the child will go to Rongqing Palace to pay tribute to the incense, and repay the last wish of his father.

"What time is it?"

"The hour is about to pass, and the time is near."

Emperor Wen suddenly felt a sense of irritability in his heart, these days it is always like this at night, and he can't sleep well. Since the birthday, it is especially obvious, sometimes I can't help but secretly wonder, is it really the years that are not forgiving, has it reached the age of long sleepless nights?

I have called the imperial doctors to come and see it several times, but they can't say why, only that they are too worried and must be calm.

Meditation...... The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, how can this be quiet if you want to be quiet, but fortunately, this day of walking on thin ice is finally coming to an end.

Emperor Wen sat down in the pavilion silently, and had no intention of returning to the hall to rest.

Carrying the empty pigeon cage and turning around, Xiao Jizi, who had just left, suddenly reappeared.

"Your Majesty, the ...... of the Taishifu Li Taijun asked to see him. ”

Emperor Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jizi, frowned, and said, "Zi Shi asked to see?" Is she old and confused? ”

She said...... Knowing that the Holy Lord is depressed and sleepless, and also knows the root cause of the disease, I have come to solve the problems for the Holy One, so that you can sleep peacefully. ”

She knows?

Emperor Wen was surprised.

She is a person outside the palace, and she can actually enter the palace to ask for a meeting after the key is dropped at the inner city gate, and she can also know about my daily life, and sure enough, there are many ears and eyes in the Taishi Mansion in this imperial city. Since I was a child, I guessed that Mu Yunduo had planted people in the palace, so I never trusted anyone around me. But in the end, they pretended not to know, and tacitly tied a point of harmony. Now that Li Taijun clearly knows that I have insomnia, is it because his son has regained the power of the Shuai Yin army, and he has nothing to fear?

Emperor Wen couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Well, now that the big thing has been decided, I don't have much to spare. It has been more than a hundred years since I came to Mu Yun's Taishi Mansion, and it can be regarded as a few generations of glory. Tonight, when the time comes, I will personally send you one!

"Xuan!"

It is impossible to enter the palace late at night, but Li Taijun is the mother of the two princesses, the sister of the Empress Dowager Zhuang Shunjing, and the aunt of the current saint, with a prominent identity. It must be a great thing for her to ask for a meeting at this time.

The court guards, palace maids, and eunuchs who were on night duty along the way saw an old woman stepping into the Evergreen Hall in high spirits from a distance, and they avoided it one after another.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell", I saw Li Taijun wearing the official uniform of Mrs. Yipinguo, and the hair bun like snow was beaded and green, and the hairpin was like a hairpin. The Immortal Crane Panyun Silver Cane in her hand smashed on the blue jade ground in front of the Evergreen Hall one after another, and it was extremely heavy in this silent night, and it was almost stuffy to the ears.

At this time, the evergreen hall had already lit up sixteen bronze candlesticks carved with lotus carvings in the eight directions, illuminating the entire palace as gorgeous as day. Emperor Wen has also changed into a splendid robe, embroidered with a purple gold dragon into the clouds, and wears a real golden crown of the four seas swimming dragon, sitting in the center of the hall.

"The old body greets the saint." Different from a year ago in the Hanyuan Palace, Li Taijun ignored the hairpin on his head, bowed down and fell down, and his forehead touched the ground.

Emperor Wen was a little surprised to see her so solemn, and his words were still as kind as usual.

"Old lady, please get up, don't be formal." As he spoke, he called again: "Come on, take a seat." ”

Emperor Wen watched Li Taijun sit down, and asked, "Old Taijun came to see me late at night, but what is the matter?" ”

"The old body knows that when the son comes to see the saint, it is not compliant. It's just that the old body also knows that when the saint enters the night, his chest is tight, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully, and in the long run, it will damage the holy body. Therefore, the old body wanted to enter the palace one step earlier to remove this worry for the saint, so he couldn't take too much care of it. ”

"How did Li Taijun know that I couldn't sleep at night?"

Li Taijun smiled slightly, and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the Holy Lord, but after his birthday, he gave birth to these diseases?" ”

Emperor Wen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but reply: "Yes, where did Li Taijun know about it?" ”

"On the day of her birthday, the crown princess once offered a tea banquet in front of the emperor, and one of the dishes served during the banquet was called 'Shiso Fujiba Fried Bell'. One of these two leaves is an ordinary perilla, and the other is a cold lotus. ”

"Leng Xinlian?"

"Yes, the cold heart lotus is a kind of herb in my old land, and if it is stir-fried and dried when it is fresh, it can also be used as tea. Ordinary people are okay if they eat it, but if they have sleepless dreams, it will aggravate the condition, and even cause chest tightness and irritability. ”

Emperor Wen was a smart person, and when he heard what Li Taijun meant, he asked, "Taijun said that I ate this cold heart lotus, so I have this problem." ”

"Exactly."

"So the crown princess mistakenly put this cold heart lotus into the meal and offered it?"

"No, the old man believes that the crown princess deliberately mixed this grass in, and deliberately hid Leng Xinlian from the list of offerings, leaving only the name of perilla to hide people's eyes."

"Deliberately? The crown princess has a gentle temperament and a virtuous character, how could she do such a rebellious thing. Li Taijun just said that this is the herb of the old land of Yinmu, this princess has only been in Cangwu for a long time, how can she find the herb of your Yinmu country? Emperor Wen's words were already displeased.

Li Taijun still said unhurriedly: "The crown princess is indeed a docile and good child, and the old body feels that although she is deliberate, she does not know the medicinal properties of the cold heart grass, and she should be deceived by others." ”

"Hmph".

Emperor Wen's expression was already a little impatient.

"Saint, the old man had doubts after his birthday that day, so he secretly inquired. The person who deceived the crown princess should have known that the princess wanted to feast with tea, and then recommended the cold grass to the princess, pretending to be tea, and then borrowed her hand to harm the saint. ”

Emperor Wen secretly thought, this kind of thing of chasing after the wind and shadows has been said by you very clearly.

Li Taijun ignored Emperor Wen's look of disbelief and continued: "Not only the cold heart grass, but also the multi-son multi-blessing grass, these are all herbs from the old land of Yinmu. In this Wanhua Imperial Capital, in addition to the herb garden of the old body in the Taishi Mansion, the rest is only the medicine garden in front of the sister's Weiyang Palace...... Now they are all in the hands of the crown princess, if it is a coincidence, the old body does not believe it. ”

"Weiyang Palace?" Emperor Wen couldn't help but take a breath, he hadn't heard the name of this palace for too long, so that his mind was a little confused for a while, "How can it have anything to do with Weiyang Palace again?" ”

"After my sister immortal left, the herb garden of Weiyang Palace was abandoned, and the old man thought that no one took care of it, and it should have already become a dry land. Who would have expected that in this deep palace, there are still people who continue to cultivate there, and they have the idea of not seeing the light of day in their hearts. Such a sinister person lives sideways next to the holy evergreen hall, and bewitches the princess who is ignorant of the world, and instigates her to sacrifice poisonous herbs at the banquet, how can the old body sit idly by? Therefore, the old man took the liberty to enter the palace late at night, just to show the saint, so that he could completely remove the root of this demon for the saint! ”

Emperor Wen glanced at Li Taijun.

This old woman is in her last years, and she still has such a hard temperament. But when it comes to her over the years, she is really dedicated. If she hadn't married Mu Yun, she wouldn't have had so much disgust.

"Then Li Taijun said that someone was making trouble in the Weiyang Palace that gave birth to these incidents?"
