East Palace, no words all night.

That night, Helan Minyue was arranged by Pei Shi to rest in the side hall, and left the next day.

As Li Hong expected, but within a day, the news that Helan Minyue had become "Li Hong's woman" spread throughout Chang'an City, and then Li Zhi's desk was full of impeachment of Li Hong having an affair with his courtiers and losing his dignity.

However, to the disappointment of these imperial historians, Li Zhi rarely became extremely strong in this matter, suppressed all these twists and turns, and ordered the original Zhou State Mansion to Helan Minyue, ordering her to keep filial piety for her brother within three years, and not to marry, and then punished Li Hong for a few months, which can be regarded as exposing the matter.

The difference is that the people's attitude towards this matter is indeed divided into two factions, one group thinks that Li Hong is a young man, affectionate and righteous, while the other group thinks that Li Hong is greedy and lustful, and is not a righteous man and a gentleman.

It really brought a big blow to Li Hong's originally prosperous popularity, but Li Hong himself didn't care, and even when Zhang Wenqian and others wanted to curb public opinion, Li Hong stopped them instead.

Because in Li Hong's view, this situation is a good thing.

In fact, since he woke up from Luoyang Palace, he has been committed to suppressing his reputation among the people, trying his best not to be too showy.

And in terms of the effect, Empress Wu and Li Zhi are very satisfied with Li Hong's son's knowledge and interest, otherwise with the things Li Hong has committed these days, how can it be so easy to pass! Surely you will shed your skin if you don't die!

"Your Highness, today is the day Helan Minzhi was beheaded, are we going to see Miss Helan?"

In the main hall of the East Palace, a teenage waiter lowered his head and poured a cup of ginseng tea for Li Hong, and asked in a low voice.

This person's name is Wang Fusheng, he is a clever person, Li Hong really feels that he needs a personal attendant to help take care of some chores these days, although Qian'er is intimate, but after all, he is a maid, and he can't go out with him, as for Cheng Wu's big old man, he can't handle fine affairs.

In desperation, Li Hong promoted Wang Fusheng from the East Palace.

"No, change clothes for Lone, let's go out of town!"

Li Hong glanced at Wang Fusheng and said softly.

I have to say that the action of those old ministers is first-class, and after the Zichen Hall agreed that day, they quickly blocked the news when they went back, I don't know what means they used, and the violent death of Helan Min was concealed.

Although some of the courtiers wondered why Helan Minzhi was executed so quickly, the authority of the three divisions was not to be seen, so most of the courtiers applauded, and a trace of doubt about the small group of people was drowned out.

However, it can also be seen from this how arrogant and domineering Helan Minzhi usually is, so that the government and the opposition are so angry with him.

So now on the execution ground, he is just a death row prisoner who looks similar to He Lanminzhi.

Helan Minyue's side is afraid that it is already full of funerals now, but to say that it is sad Helan Minyue is afraid that it is just pretending, after all, the real Helan Minzhi was killed a few days ago.

Wang Fusheng was only transferred to Li Hong's side to serve in the past few days, because he only knew that Li Hong and Helan Minyue had a close relationship, and he didn't know the inside story, so he said this rashly, so Li Hong didn't blame him, but secretly felt that Wang Fusheng still needed to be tempered in his heart.

Outside the city, Li Hong was dressed in civilian clothes and took Wang Fusheng and Jiu Ge to the city gate slowly, but saw that Di Renjie and Li Jingye had been waiting for a long time.

The reason why he only brought Wang Fusheng and Jiu Ge was because Cheng Wu, a martial idiot, had been in the East Palace Six Rates these days and refused to come back, Li Hong went to see it a few times, and found that the training of the East Palace Six Rates was normal, so he went.

Anyway, there will be no problem with the safety of Jiuge!

Speaking of Jiu Ge, Li Hong was angry, and when Helan Minyue drugged him that night, Jiu Ge was obviously next door, but he didn't say a word.

When Li Hong remembered this stubble, he angrily questioned her.

Jiu Ge still had a cold look on his face, dropping two words.

"Well deserved!"

made Li Hong depressed for a while.

Speaking of which, Jiu Ge can't be blamed for this, after all, almost all poisons have to enter the body to take effect, and when Jiu Ge found out that Li Hong had fainted, he knew that it was just a drug.

Since it's just a drug, Jiu Ge doesn't bother to care.

What's more, this is Helan Minyue was put in by Li Hong himself, and the sachet is also what he wants to smell, so it is indeed not to blame Jiu Ge's head.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Seeing Li Hong coming, the two hurriedly saluted, but were stopped by Li Hong laughing.

In the distance, dust was flying.

A team of cavalry galloped over, and the leading soldiers held a large flag in their hands, on which a big character was clearly written, Pei!

When he got closer, the general led by him saw Li Hong waiting at the gate of the city, showed a surprised look, turned over and dismounted.

"The criminal minister Pei Xingjian has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Hong frowned slightly.

"General Pei doesn't have to be like this, the general went west to conquer the Turks and returned victorious, what is the crime? A little villain attack, but just floating clouds, the father is wise, he will not let the general be wronged, quickly follow the lonely into the city, and the lonely will take the wind and wash the dust for the general! ”

The person who came was Pei Xingjian, the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march who went out to fight the Turkic rebellion a few months ago, but it was different from the last time Li Hong saw it, this time Li Hong saw Pei Xingjian did not return to the elegant Confucian general demeanor before the expedition, his face was dark, his voice was tired, and he regarded himself as a "criminal minister".

And his behavior is sluggish, obviously a long-distance attack, but Li Hong estimates that it was more of a blow from a temporary recall that made him so.

"The criminal minister doesn't dare, this rash surrender of Ashina Fu Nian is indeed the criminal's own opinion, and he should be punished."

Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up when he saw Li Hong being so kind, but after a while, they became dim again.

Li Hong sighed and continued.

"The general doesn't have to worry, now the DPRK and China are just a small trouble, the military situation in front is like fire, the slightest carelessness will delay the fighter, the general naturally has the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, not to mention that even if the general's move is inappropriate, it can't cover up the general's great contribution to quelling the rebellion, not to mention that the father is now only temporarily calling the general back to Beijing, and has not issued an explicit decree, the general will return home with peace of mind for the time being, and he will not let the traitor frame the general!"

The voice was generous and powerful, which made Pei Xingjian a little brighter.

"In this way, the minister will thank His Highness!"

I heard that Pei Xingjian finally took off the word "criminal minister" in his mouth.

Li Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned over his horse, and walked into the city gate with Pei Xingjian's team of guards.
