The next afternoon.

After Mei Niang got up, she stood under His Royal Highness and looked at the courtyard in a daze.

It was so rainy that people couldn't lift their strength all over their bodies, but there was not a single hint of boredom on her face because of the weather.

It seems that the rain, which has been falling for more than ten days, has not affected her at all.

"Mother?" Minghe, who had been following her since just now, and looked at her in a daze, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Minghe, do you think this rain will stop one day?"

Mei Niang asked suddenly.

Minghe was stunned, looked at the sky, and said lightly for a while: "No matter rain or shine, it can't be eternal." ”

Mei Niang stopped talking, and after a long time, she sighed heavily, but her face showed a peculiar look.

In the autumn of the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, this rain was like the old days, which was constantly involved, so that people could not forget, and with the arrival of such a heavy autumn rain, there was an even heavier news-

The uncle of the Tang Emperor Li Zhi, the former prince of Zhao State, Sun Wuji, had already hanged himself.

For a while, the entire Tang Dynasty court was silent.

The night rain is like a wrinkle, making people want to take the hinge open, but they don't know how to start.

Li Zhi sat on the couch in a daze, staring at the flames jumping and burning in front of him for a long time, before he clenched the warm and powerful palm in his hand and asked softly, "When...... Nope? ”

His voice was very soft, but it was very clear in this palace, which was so quiet that no other sound could be heard.

Mei Niang held his hand tightly and was silent.

He ...... Nothing to pass on to me? After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhi couldn't help it after all, and asked again.

"Back to the Lord, Zhao Guogong passed away, and it happened suddenly, so there is no news left......" Minghe said in a low voice.

Li Zhi was silent again.

The sound of night rain is annoying.

Li Zhi looked out of the dark window stupidly, while Mei Niang looked at him stupidly.

After a while, the silence was broken by Qinghe who hurriedly entered: "Lord, Niangniang." ”

Li Zhi didn't look back, but Mei Niang turned her head to look at him: "How?" ”

"Now Master Di has already set off, going to Qianzhou, to visit Uncle Yuan's public land."

"How are the people of the Eldest Sun Clan?"

"The people of the near tribes are all slaves, and now they have entered the Lingnan families."

"British office, has there been any movement?" Mei Niang suddenly asked.

Qinghe seemed to have expected Mei Niang to ask this question, and immediately replied: "Niangniang can rest assured, the British Duke has already taken action and left all the eldest grandsons and sons in the customs clearance business given by Niangniang in Lingnan...... Even the little ladies have to be safe and thoughtful. ”

Mei Niang lowered her eyes, but stopped making a sound.

Li Zhi was still very quiet.

After a long time, only the two of them were left in the temple. Mei Niang was still looking at Li Zhi, who had never looked back.

The sound of night rain is annoying.

Outside the hall, Li Hong looked at his parents, and suddenly turned his head for a while and asked Jing'an, who was following him: "Master Di is going, but who is following?" ”

"Niangniang sent thirty-two shadow guards to follow secretly, and on the surface, she even ordered a thousand divine Yanwei to accompany her - it will be fine."

"A Thousand Divine Yanwei...... In this way, Murong Zheng and Murong Rui's brothers also walked together? ”

"No, only Lord Murong Zheng is with him, and Lord Murong Rui is going to other places with the British Duke - but no one knows where he went - it seems that Niangniang has the intention to completely hide this matter. Your Highness, Niangniang has never acted like this, will it be ......?"

"The queen mother has never carried her father and the palace, and she has never carried her father behind her back, so she ...... This matter is not something that can be explained to this palace. The order went down, up and down the East Palace, but those who dared to peep into this matter in private were all dealt with mercilessly by the palace law. ”

"Yes."

"In addition, I will pass on the decree of the palace: from now on, everyone in the East Palace, both inside and outside Beijing, will do their best to help Di Renjie, and be sure to find out the truth of this case!"

"Yes!"

Li Hong watched Jing'an leave in front of him, his slightly worried gaze calmed down for a while, and then he frowned and sighed softly, muttering to himself: "Who the hell is ......?"

The sound of night rain is annoying.

In the side hall, there was a mess, and in the center was Li Xian, who was sitting in a mess, and was tightly hugged in his arms by Li Xiao, who was tear-stained, in a daze, and the servants of the whole hall were kneeling around him.

“…… How can it be ......" After a while, Li Xiancai slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and weak: "How is it possible...... ...... uncle dead? How could it be ......"

Li Xian shook his head as if crying and laughing, with a puzzled expression: "He hanged himself? How can it be...... It must be the queen mother who knows that I am messing around there, so she has the intention to frighten me...... Not right......"

He shook his head and said dumbfoundedly, "No...... The queen mother will not play tricks like this...... It must be the father...... Right...... He had always hated his uncle's control of business...... He must be ......"

"Your Highness......" Xiao Bao'er on the side had tears on her face: "Your Highness, you have to take care...... The Lord is already very sick, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or you, what ...... because of this matter" He choked up and said softly: "Your Highness......"

"My father didn't like my uncle, and my mother never mentioned it, but I know that my mother never hated him...... The Queen Mother has always respected his ...... Therefore, every New Year's Festival, the queen mother would prepare a few carefully prepared snacks and gifts by herself, and asked my brother and me to go with me to send them to my uncle's mansion. ”

"Your Highness still remembers......" Xiao Bao'er thought that over the years, he had always taken care of the eldest grandson Wuji of Li Hong's brothers, and he had received a lot of care and kindness because of this, especially because of this, he was able to enter the Lizheng Palace, his heart was sour, and his eyes turned red again: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers ......"

"I remember it all...... I know people think I don't remember, but I do...... Remember how good my uncle was to us...... At first, it was my brother who carried me, so he would hide some particularly new gadgets in my brother's carriage every time, every time...... I won't forget my part...... Never forgotten. ”

Li Xian said and whimpered again, and large tears flowed down his cheeks. Li Xiao, who was on the side, looked at the real pain, so he also cried, wiped away his tears, and then said: "Don't be uncomfortable, don't be uncomfortable, don't be uncomfortable, the prince has already gone to the front hall, and the father has also arranged for someone to inquire about the case...... Will definitely ......."

"That's useless, is it? Right? Uncle still won't live, right? Although they are young, the Li Xian brothers, who were born in the royal family, are no strangers to life and death.

So although he was sad, he was not too surprised, but thought about one thing very calmly:

How to investigate this matter to the end, and how to avenge this big revenge for my uncle, who is very good and close to him!
