Afternoon.

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace.

"Mother, the lord will be ...... Word has been spread that they will not come tonight. This ......" After listening to the report from the waiter, Minghe stepped forward uneasily, looked at Mei Niang and said in a low voice.

Mei Niang didn't even move her eyebrows: "Got it." ”

"...... Lord ......"

"Hongu said it, I know." Mei Niang turned around and walked to the palace, looked at the top of the hall, and then looked at the outside of the hall, and said softly: "The sunshine is so good today, this palace wants to go out for a walk." Passing on the mountain pool. ”

Minghe opened his mouth, but after all, he had to sigh, and immediately started driving.

Along the way, Mei Niang put on a leisurely stroll, nothing to play, until she walked under the promenade of the mountain pool, she sat down, and asked Yuru, who came up later: "How?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, the two of them were being searched by Di Renjie and others in Dali Temple in their house at this time. As for Uncle Yuan and other important ministers, they gathered at Uncle Yuan's mansion yesterday and seemed to have sorted out this matter. ”

"The British Duke is also in his house?"

"In. And Di Renjie and others are also there. ”

Mei Niang nodded, and asked Yuru again: "That...... King Ji and his wife still blindly bite to death, saying that they have nothing to do with this matter? ”

"This is natural. Mother, are we going to do something to make them mess up so that they can show their feet? ”

"It's to be done, but wait." Mei Niang waved her sleeves, turned to look at the water feature outside the corridor, and smiled faintly.

Yuru looked at Minghe, who looked puzzled, and said confusedly: "Wait? Niangniang is waiting for Di Renjie to find out something? ”

"If you talk about investigating cases and plotting, if Huaiying is not the first in the world, she should be the first in Datang. But if you want to find something on King Ji's Mansion this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed. After all, this matter has nothing to do with King Ji in the first place. The two of them were just taken advantage of their ambitions and made a shield. Mei Niang hooked her lips and smiled, shook the palace fan lightly, and looked at the blooming red lotus on the water outside the corridor.

The red lotus is scorching, and under the sun, it is like a fire burning, and the entire lake is brilliant.

Yuru opened her eyes wide, and said in unison with Ming and Yuming: "Blocking the brand?!" ”

"Yes."

The three servants were stunned for a long time, and Yu Ming took a step forward and said in a shocked voice: "In this Tang Palace, there are still such characters who play with the dignified King Ji and his wife in the palm of their hands?" ”

"Why not? Jiro inconvenience one? Mei Niang squinted at the three of them in horror, and said with a smile: "But this time, it is true that it was not Jiro's doing." ”

"What does Niangniang mean ...... There is someone who can secretly ...... such things as the Lord."

"This palace said that the person who acted this time was afraid that he could be as good as Jiro, but the biggest difference between him and Jiro was that Jiro was good at it, and it was to build momentum. This is the law that governs the world. And this person is just using some covert means, which is the next method. But it's completely different. ”

The third waiter was indeed confused by Mei Niang, and it took a long time before he said, "Niangniang...... In your opinion, who did this? ”

"Although the means are open-minded, they are all different...... But this method of doing things is wonderful, but it is indeed in the same vein. Don't say it's a brother or uncle, it's a close attendant, I'm afraid it's hard to learn this trick. So ......"

Mei Niang stopped smiling: "The person who can make this plan must be well aware of the means of Zhilang, and he intends to use this incident to provoke a dispute between the palace and the Ji Wangfu and gain some great benefits." But if so, there is only one person who has reason to do it......"

"His Royal Highness King Yue?! But the mother just said that this kind of thing is not for brothers and uncles? Yuru asked.

Mei Niang shook her head: "If it's just him, how can he have such means to enter the palace and establish a political palace?" Naturally, there are people who help you. And this person is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he is also the biggest winner - he buried himself deep behind the two major mountains of King Ji and King Yue. What he did was not insignificant. ”

When she said this, the servants were silent immediately, and it took a long time for Minghe to hesitate: "Then who is this person?" ”

Yuru looked at Yuming, and said for a long time: "According to Niangniang's judgment, this person must be related to the Lord in the same vein before he can learn such means; second, to be able to gain great benefit in this matter; Third, he must let the king of Yue be used by him; Fourth, we must be able to easily arrange people to enter our government palace...... This...... How do you listen to it, how do you look like our Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that it was Yuming and Minghe next to him, and even Yuru herself was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yuru is talking nonsense......"

"You're right, but you're right to the point."

Mei Niang said with a smile: "If you look at the personnel on the surface, when it comes to people who can do such things, naturally only Hong'er in this palace is the only one." After all, as the crown prince, he has been trained by Jiro for many years, and because he is young, he can make King Yue feel that he can use it, and take the opportunity to use it, as for the Lizheng Palace...... It was originally his residence, and it was even more convenient to move. So at first glance, it seems that only he could do such a thing. It's just that you have forgotten two points, first, he is only seven years old after all, although when he dealt with Concubine Xiao Shufei's second daughter before, what he did did did make people feel quite precocious, but in the end he is still a child's heart. If he had come to this point, he should not have been at the center of the matter. Instead, the main palace should be pulled in. Second, he is not the only one in this Tang Dynasty world, who has worn this prince's robe. ”

Mei Niang's words made the three waiters change their expressions:

"Abolished Prince, King Liang?! It's him?! But he ......"

"That's right, at first glance, this matter looks like something Hong'er would do, not to mention anything else, just say that this Lizheng Palace is really not something that anyone can easily enter.

It was this palace, when he first saw Hong'er injured, he was also shocked and angry, and he really thought that he was coming nonsense, intending to take this opportunity to let him save his mind from Uncle Ji. That's why he was angry, angry and anxious, and made the unwise move of going to the palace to sue him and help him to confirm King Ji's murder.

But later, Jiro and others blamed the palace, and the attitude was really wrong, so the palace carefully realized that it was wrong.

In any case, Hong'er is still too young, and he can't do it with such thoughtfulness. Moreover, King Ji treats him peacefully, at least he is extremely friendly in appearance, he is a kind child, and he still has to think twice about his two brothers' intention to poison his own royal sister and blame the palace, not to mention King Ji, who has never provoked him?

As for King Yue, not to mention, since Hong'er was born, the number of times the two have met is countable, and King Yue doesn't take him too seriously.

So after thinking about it, there was only Zhong'er's child.

He is the only one who will have such the ability to arrange people to enter the Lizheng Palace - first, he is a former prince, Jiro or the main palace, he always treats him at a loss, so this Lizheng Palace is like his own backyard, if he wants to arrange someone to come in, although he can't get to your high position, but it is easy to make an internal order or something.

Second, he and the second king of Ji Yue, at first glance, there seems to be no conflict, but before the second king of Ji Yue was by his side, he didn't think less - although it was not as good as King Han's Yong'an, who was calculated by his side, at least it would not be less. So he also had a grudge when he came, and then he ...... again."

Mei Niang's eyebrows darkened, and she changed the topic and said: "Originally, the palace didn't want to suspect him, but the problem is that this child is really a good-hearted child, although he hates his father and the emperor for hurting his mother, and also complains that the uncles and brothers in the Tang Dynasty have hurt him like that, but he has never resented the palace and the children of the palace." So the flaws were revealed. ”

"Flaws?" The third servant looked at me, I looked at you, and knew that Mei Niang intended to avoid Li Zhong's heart, so she followed the conversation.

"Hong'er. If the hands of the two kings of Ji Yue have already reached the Lizheng Hall of the main palace, the blood of the injured little servant has already splashed on the robe of Prince Hong'er, why can't he take this opportunity to kill Hong'er on one side? At that time, Hong'er was by his side, but there was only the little waiter. ”

Mei Niang said lightly: "At least on the surface, it seems to be the case - although the matter of the secret guards is known inside and outside, how can they imagine that in the Lizheng Palace, which is guarded by Zhilang layer by layer, there are also four secret guards in the dark, guarding the palace and the three children inch by inch?" Looking at no one left and right, if according to the mind of the second king of Ji Yue, he would have already done it. ”

Yuru suddenly said: "So only His Royal Highness King Liang ...... After all, his mother, Concubine Liu, had been protected by Niangniang many times, and he himself was even more at a loss to Niangniang several times to save his life, so he naturally couldn't bear to hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from Niangniang. ”

Mei Niang nodded. Minghe said: "But no matter what, no matter how kind His Royal Highness King Liang is this time, after all, he has frightened His Royal Highness the Prince, and Niangniang can't forgive him." ”

Mei Niang was silent for a while before she said: "This palace will naturally teach him some lessons, but before that, Zhong'er's chess hand has been extremely good, no matter what, this palace must also make good use of it, and take the opportunity to clean up the two of them." It is also good for them to know that whether it is Zhong'er, Sujie, Shangjin, or Hong'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, and even the two children of Xiayu and Ji'er, they are all Zhilang's blood and blood, and they are not chess pieces that they can use at will! ”

With a cold gaze, she said lightly: "The so-called want to be inside, but you need to be calm outside." should also let them know that although the surname is Li, this Tang Dynasty is definitely not something that both of them can afford! ”

The eyes of the three servants were sharp, and they should have been.

At the end of June of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Tai Chi Palace.

In recent days, the case of the attack on the crown prince, which has caused a lot of uproar in the palace, has taken a new turn.

Early in the morning, Di Renjie in Dali Temple took the ironclad evidence of King Ji's involvement in this to report to Li Zhi, and even Li Zhi's other brother, King Yue, who had always been good friends with King Ji, was also involved.

For a while, the entire Tang Dynasty was in an uproar - after all, Ji Yue's second king was famous, and no one wanted to believe it, and they couldn't believe that this matter had anything to do with them. In addition, the Empress Wu clan showed an extreme attitude towards King Ji at the beginning of this matter, and everyone looked at Di Renjie's gaze, and naturally there was something abnormal.

But Di Renjie didn't care—or rather, he was looking forward to such a gaze, because he learned a very important sentence from his emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zhao:

The more the things that we once believed in are overturned by what we have seen and testified, the more we abandon them to the bottom. What he did and what he asked for was exactly this attitude of abandoning to the bottom -

Not for the queen mother who promoted herself, but for the emperor Li Zhi, who was more suitable to be a master of the industry than his father.

Li Zhi naturally understood Di Renjie's thoughts, so he took pen and ink left and right, and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he wrote a holy edict by hand, stamped the national seal and handed it to him......

There is only one case, when he is handling the case, he needs to follow a few people who are personally designated by Tang Jian, the secretary of Dali Temple.

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials immediately looked at ease - who is Tang Jian? Naturally, he would not let any queen party easily get out of his palm.

So some people remembered that this Di Renjie was the proud protégé of Uncle Yuan, who was the most powerful opponent of the queen at the beginning, and he was also a good material recommended by Yu Suiliang, Tang Jian, Pei Xingjian and others.

Subsequently, the wind began to change: since this Di Renjie is categorically against the latter party, why would he agree with the queen's opinion this time?

Could it be ...... The two kings of Ji Yue, who are famous for their virtues, really did such a great rebellion?

With Li Zhi's two wills, Tang Jian personally selected a few officials who were quite good friends with Ji Yue and Wang Pingsu to participate in the investigation...... A trace of doubt was firmly planted in the hearts of everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty.

And the eldest grandson Wuji looked at this situation, and only smiled faintly at Li Ji and the others, which means that it is self-evident: Indeed, although the queen should be restrained, those rebels with bad intentions should be more careful.

……

With Li Zhi's holy intentions in hand, and those officials of Dali Temple, who Ji Yue and Wang Ping had always been flattered by, were notarizing and assisting on one side, Di Renjie's investigation of the case was naturally smoother.

However, within three days, all the people involved in the case were detained by him.

When the news reached the Lizheng Palace, Mei Niang was combing Li Hong's long hair.

"How can it be so fast?"

Mei Niang was still a little surprised, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't believe it.
