Such a matter of heart has been pestering Li Zhi until he returns to the East Palace-

Because of Taizong's order, although he is still serving in the old bed of the Ganlu Hall for seven or eight hours a day, he always has to take some time to go back to the East Palace to see the pregnant concubines.

"Your Highness, Spring and Autumn Second Palace, where are we going first? Still is...... Go to the Cheng'en Hall first? De'an asked as he followed Li Zhi's shoulder.

Li Zhi leaned his arms on the side of the chair, supporting his face, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he had never heard De'an's words.

Just as De'an was waiting to ask again, Li Zhi suddenly spoke slowly:

"Go first...... Yiqiu Palace, look at Liu Zhaoxun...... She was in a pinch. Then go to Yichun Palace and take a look at Xiao Liangdi.

I heard that yesterday, she invited the doctor to come in and said that she was quite unwell? ”

"Yes, Concubine Xiao Shu is uneasy, and she originally wanted to invite His Royal Highness and the old immortal to enter. But as soon as she heard that the old fairy could not be easily invited, she was also worried that His Highness would be upset, so she refused to invite again. ”

The corners of Li Zhi's mouth hooked up a smile:

"She's considerate."

"Yes."

Dean nodded slightly.

After a while, Li Zhi took the car and transferred to Yiqiu Palace.

……

At the same moment, Wang Shanrou, who had been rewarded by the slave, stood in front of a pot of flowers, tightly twisted the silk in her hand, and said lightly after a while:

"Your Highness entered the palace and went straight to Yiqiu Palace?"

"Exactly. Mother, this is not a good thing! I think that the Xiao family of Yichun Palace can't compete with this Liu Zhaoxun...... Mother......

The slave said worriedly: "Niangniang has to think of ideas!" ”

Wang Shanrou stood silently and was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he said: "Pen and ink are serving, this palace misses my mother a little, and I haven't heard from her for a long time...... He said that there was something in the palace and wanted to invite her in. ”

"Niangniang, according to the system, if we want to invite our relatives into the East Palace, we have to get the consent of the queen...... Now that the queen is not here, the lord of the ** is the concubine Niangniang...... After all, she is Xiao Liangdi's maiden family...... What do you think ......?"

"She'll help us."

Wang Shanrou smiled faintly: "Just because she is Xiao Yuyin's mother's family, she will try her best to help us for Xiao Yuyin." Go! ”

"Yes."

……

After a while, Li Zhi saw that the Liangyuan Zheng family and the Zhaoxun Liu family who lived in Yiqiu Palace were all safe, and he was very relieved, so he drove to Yichun Palace to explore the Liang Di Xiao family and the Chenghui Yang family.

Halfway through, I passed the Cheng'en Hall where the princess lived, and I didn't even fall behind, and went inside to visit one or two. The servants were surprised, but the close attendant De'an tried his best to cover everyone's mouths to prevent rumors from rising again.

……

It was night, in the Taiji Palace, the concubine Wei of the Anren Palace, the princess and the princess had a close servant and a slave who wanted to invite the princess's mother Liu to come in for a gathering.

The next day, Liu entered the East Palace and saw the crown princess. Mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

After the princess and her daughter hugged each other and cried for a while, they abandoned everyone and only took pity on the slaves and discussed secretly.

After a while, the inner canons (the inner servants of the ceremonial law, the proclamation, the edict, and the name account of the outer women. It is entered, the time has come, and the Liu family still pities their daughter.

The next day.

Taizong ascended to the dynasty, and suddenly there was the imperial history Taichung Cheng (under the fourth grade, responsible for the illegal officials involved) Wang Bocheng played, and the secretary of the Taoist Zhongshu Province (from the five products, responsible for the management of books and archives) Liu Zichong actually took the secret file book (file) out of the house, and showed it to others.

When Taizong heard this, he was furious and blamed Liu Zichong.

Liu Zichong repeatedly complained of strange grievances, but Wang Bocheng showed the testimony of the witness, and even showed the basis of his departure, Liu Zichong was silent. Taizong then ordered Dali Temple to supervise it.

……

A moment later.

Taiji Palace, East Palace.

Yiqiu Palace Zhaoxun Liu heard that his father Liu Zichong actually entered Dali Temple, and his grief was unspeakable, so he personally brought the servants into the Lizheng Palace, crying and begging:

"Father has been upright all his life, and he must not do this again, and I ask His Royal Highness to intercede with His Majesty and investigate clearly."

When the prince heard this, he took pity on him and believed it even more.

However, after all, the evidence is conclusive, helpless.

Zhao Xun couldn't stop crying, and the prince had a headache.

Coincidentally, at this time, Ma Zhou entered to discuss politics with the prince, and the prince had to serve Yu Wenyan with Zhaoxun first, and serve Liu in the side hall of the main hall of Li, in order to calm his heart, and comfort himself again:

"Ma Zhou has arrived, he has many schemes, and he will wait for the palace to discuss with him."

When Liu heard this, he was grateful, so he waited in the side hall according to the prince's order.

Li Zhi went to discuss with Ma Zhou without mentioning it.

……

"Sister Zhaoxun, speaking of which, we have been to this East Palace everywhere. But only the Lizheng Hall where His Royal Highness lives, and the Cheng'en Hall of the Crown Princess, have not been entered!

Especially this Lizheng Hall. ”

Yu Wenyan was young after all, and after serving Liu Yunruo to sit on the soft couch on the side, he looked at the scrolls on the side of the painting table, which were as high as a hill, and said with a smile:

"You see, if you don't enter this Lizheng Palace, Yan'er won't know that His Royal Highness loves painting so much...... Let's take a look at these paintings! I'm afraid there are hundreds of them?

I really don't know where His Highness got the good work to draw these pictures. ”

Liu Yunruo was worried about his father's affairs, and when he heard the crown princess, he sneered:

"Why should you enter her bedchamber? She hurt my father this time......"

In the end, she was weak and couldn't say anything cruel, just silently wept.

Yu Wenyan naturally knew that Wang Bocheng, who had participated in Liu Zichong's book, was the cousin of the crown princess Wang, and when she mentioned it like this, she reminded her of the sadness of this Zhaoxun sister, so she hurriedly walked to comfort her.

Who knew that she was in a hurry, and the shawl actually took most of the painting scrolls on the case, and they were scattered all over the ground for a while.

Seeing this, Yu Wenyan hurriedly stepped forward to clean up, Liu Yunruo saw this, and had to sigh that she was so reckless, because she was worried that Li Zhi would come back and see that she was not happy, so she had to reluctantly hold her stomach and bend down to help.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenyan hurriedly threw down the scroll to help her, but she didn't expect that the rope of the scroll was worn, and it broke all at once, and the scroll unfolded.

Yu Wenyan was shocked when she saw this, so she hurriedly stepped forward to roll it up, but when she saw the content of the painting, she was surprised:

"Huh? This...... The woman in this painting is ...... Sister Zhaoxun? ”

Liu Yunruo was stunned when he heard this, so he also looked at it. When I saw the person in the painting, I was also stunned.

This woman ......

Who is it?

The woman in the painting, dressed in a fiery red dress and a golden phoenix crown, is luxurious and beautiful.

Yu Wenyan glanced at it a few times, then suddenly looked at Liu Zhaoxun and said with a smile:

"Yan'er knows! This must be the painting of Sister Zhaoxun...... Look at these eyebrows, isn't it just like Sister Zhaoxun? It seems that His Royal Highness really puts Sister Zhaoxun in his heart! That Xiao ......"

Speaking of Xiao Liangdi, Yu Wenyan suddenly stopped: There is no other reason, that Liangdi Xiao Yuyin is somewhat similar to Liu Zhaoxun, which has been a legend for everyone since the day she first entered the palace. This Xiao Yuyin is fortunate because of her appearance.

And the person in this painting ...... It looks more like Xiao Liangdi.

Liu Zhaoxun looked at the person in the painting, and felt uneasy in his heart, so he took the scroll, examined it carefully, and then shook his head and said:

"That's not right...... The silk buckle tied to this scroll has been re-threaded, and it is obvious that it has been broken once before, and it has been replaced with a new rope...... Looking at this painting again, it doesn't look like what has been painted in recent years...... It will take at least three years to look at the old and new paintings. ”

Liu Zhaoxun said again:

"Whether it's me or Xiao Liangdi, the person in this painting is me...... It's all incomprehensible --

How could Your Highness know my and Liangdi's appearance three years ago?

Moreover, the rope of this painting is clearly still new, but the fastening place has been worn to the old break, which shows that His Highness must have frequently unfolded this painting every day......

If the person in this painting is really me or Xiao Liangdi, why does Your Highness need to be so careful, every time you unfold it, and then rewind it? Hang it directly on the easel in front of the desk.

And the clothes on this woman's body are like ......"

The more Liu Zhaoxun looked, the more shocked he became, and muttered:

"It seems to be......

Plus this golden crown......

This dance ......"

Liu Zhaoxun only felt that his heart was beating suddenly, so he hurriedly ordered Yu Wenyan to guard in front of the palace gate, carefully watching His Royal Highness the Prince. But he only took all the picture scrolls on the case, and unfolded them one by one.

……

Half an hour later, Li Zhi finally returned to the side hall of the Lizheng Palace.

As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Zhaoxun sitting in place with a pale face and never moving. I had to sigh secretly in my heart and stepped forward and said:

"Yun Ruo...... You can rest assured, this palace has already discussed with Lord Nama, and in the near future, I will ask my father to decree that the case will be transferred to Lord Sun Fujia for personal trial.

Master Sun is fair, and he will definitely return your father's innocence. ”

When Liu Zhaoxun heard this, his gaze, which had been out of focus, finally turned to Li Zhi's jade face, and he said softly after a long time:

"Why...... Why do you need to be tried? His Royal Highness clearly knows that this is all the crown princess......"

"This matter has nothing to do with the crown princess!"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Remember, this matter has nothing to do with the crown princess, otherwise, I'm afraid that Lord Sun won't dare to take this case again. Got it? ”

Liu Zhaoxun looked at him, his eyes were strangely bright, and he asked again after a long time:

"Your Highness, if it is ......"

After all, she didn't ask yet, she just nodded silently, held her belly, and retreated with difficulty, not even Li Zhi's hand stretched out to help her.

Li Zhi was stunned, looking at her salute and retreat, and her silent figure was ashamed after all, and let out a long sigh.

Then, habitually, he reached out and pulled out a scroll of paintings, which happened to be the one that had been broken.

Seeing that the silk rope was broken, Li Zhi instructed Wang De to go and fetch the silk rope immediately, and he did not fake the hands of others, and replaced it himself.

What he didn't know at all was that these were really seen by Liu Zhaoxun, who was standing at the gate of the palace and stopping for a while.

Seeing Li Zhi so cautious and regarded as a treasure, Liu Zhaoxun burst into tears, but after all, he fell suddenly, and left the Lizheng Hall without looking back.

Liu Zhaoxun, who left the main hall of Lizheng, looked around at a loss for a while, and didn't know where to go.

"Sister Zhaoxun...... Why don't you go back? Your hand...... Good ice. ”

Why didn't Liu Zhaoxun know that he was cold all over his body at the moment? In fact, it's not just her body, she is even cold in her heart at the moment.

However, at the moment, she has no time for self-pity.

After thinking about it, she said with tears in her eyes:

"Yan'er, go back to Yiqiu Palace, and then you go to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on my behalf, just say that I want to see my father, and ask him to arrange it on my behalf."

"Yes."

……

The eighth day of the sixth month of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan.

Under Li Zhi's arrangement, Zhaoxun Liu, after all, met his father in Dali Temple.

After the two fathers and daughters hugged their heads and cried, Liu Zhaoxun comforted his father:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already written to Lord Ma and asked Lord Sun to personally try this case, and my father will be fine."

Liu Zichong is not as optimistic as his daughter - he has been in the officialdom for a long time, of course he knows the power of the Taiyuan Wang family, so he said with tears:

"The prince loves you so much, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Liu Zhaoxun was silent when he heard this, and said after a long time:

The daughter knew that all this was caused by the fetus in the womb. The daughter is not filial, but because of her face, her father suffers. ”

Liu Zichong shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Why do you talk like that...... If it weren't for your father's obsession with not sending you inside, how could you be like this? It's the father's, it's not. The daughter should not have a dirty affair with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this. ”

The father and daughter wept bitterly again.

After a while, Liu Zhaoxunai asked:

"Father, it's not that the daughter is resentful, but the daughter really doesn't understand, why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refuses to come to the rescue? If he had asked for it, His Majesty would not have done so. ”

Liu Zichong smiled bitterly: "The Taiyuan Wang family is the second of the five surnames of the Guanlong Shivalve, and the power is huge, even His Majesty has a lot to take care of, let alone such a benevolent and cowardly character of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Moreover, the head of the Guan Longshi valve is the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince...... What we can't fight, we really can't fight...... Is it for the Father, not for ......

It's for the Father, isn't it......"

When Liu Zhaoxun heard this, he only smiled sadly, did not answer his father's words, but asked one thing again:

"Father, the daughter is here, first, to see if her father is well, and second, to ask her father for verification."

"Daughter, but it doesn't hurt."

"Father, when the domestic court meeting in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the daughter once heard her father say that on the second day of the dance festival, there was a talented person from the Hou Court, Wu Shi, who was dressed in gold and red clothes and danced with flowing clouds and flying sleeves, which alarmed the ...... But I don't know if my father has ever seen this girl? ”

"You mean...... That Wu Meiniang? Good girl, what do you ask her to do? ”

"Fathers don't have to worry, their daughters are inside, so they naturally have to get to know a few people to prepare for themselves...... The daughter just heard that this woman was friendly with His Majesty's favorite Xu family, and thought that if she could get acquainted with the two of her, she was afraid that she would have some peace. ”

When Liu Zichong heard this, he thought about it for a while, looked left and right, and then said: "It's not a bad thing for my daughter to have this heart...... Speaking of which, this woman was framed by the Wei family and grounded for a long time. But even the official of the foreign court, who is my father, has heard the news that the reason why His Majesty has grounded her for so long actually has another deep meaning......

That's fine. The Wu clan is clever, and it was because of the killing of her good sister, the Zhaoyuan Yuan clan, that Wei Nizi fell into her hands, and she also took the opportunity to bring down the entire Wei clan......

This woman is a lover and has unparalleled wisdom. If you have a friendship, it will only be good for your daughter...... It's a pity that my father was just a seven-grade petty official back then, and he could only stand behind, although he could see the beauty of the golden crown and phoenix clothes from a distance, but he could no longer see his person clearly, let alone make friends......"

Speaking of this, Liu Zichong was remorseful again.

When Liu Yunruo heard this, his heart was cold.
