"Sixth brother, do you say it's really the fifth brother who did it?" On the carriage galloping to the palace, Li Zhen's face was uneasy, her spirit had not yet recovered from the panic just now, and her pale lips trembled slightly.

"Eighth brother, no matter who did it, it's not out of our control, everything still needs to be reported to his father after entering the palace and seeing how he handles it." Li Su sat on the side with his shoulders crossed and replied with a calm expression.

Just now, Li Zhen took Wu Meiniang to find Li Su in a hurry, and she didn't care that she was in Cheng Mansion, and told her about Wu Meiniang's kidnapping just now, but not only Li Su was extremely shocked, but even Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye who came with her also changed their faces, especially when they knew that the other party was not only the daughter of the Ying Guo Mansion, but they were about to be hired into the palace after the Shangyuan Festival, and their identity was extremely sensitive, but at this juncture, they were kidnapped by someone, who has such courage?

Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye didn't know about Li Youqiang's robbery of Wu Meiniang, so they naturally couldn't figure out the key. However, after Li Su heard it, he glanced at Li Zhen, and immediately understood what the other party thought, and immediately asked Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye to keep this matter secret, and then sent Xiao Wenxin and Wu Meiniang and their female dependents back to the house with the guards, and then the two of them got into the carriage and rushed into the palace.

During the Shangyuan Festival, Li Shimin naturally would not sit in the palace, and the body of the eldest grandson queen was almost recovered, so tonight, he and the eldest grandson queen, Yang Concubine and other concubines, as well as Li Zhi, his son, Qinghe and other young children, first climbed to the head of the imperial city to have fun with the people, and then returned to the palace to drink and enjoy the dance.

Just when Li Shimin was in high spirits and was about to dance with Empress Changsun in front of everyone, suddenly the palace people reported. Li Su and Li Zhen asked to see each other alone, as if they had something important to report. Li Shimin felt strange. looked at the people around him who were in high spirits, and finally explained a few words to Empress Changsun, and summoned the two of them in the side hall next to them.

"Father, the son is guilty, please punish the father!" As soon as she entered the hall, Li Zhen immediately ran forward and fell to the ground, knocked her head a few times in a row, and cried with a handful of snot and tears. Li Zhen next to him stepped forward and saluted very respectfully, but when he saw Li Zhen's appearance, he didn't know why. Suddenly I felt a little funny. The last time Li Zhen begged herself, it seemed to be the same way?

"What's going on, why are you crying?" Li Shimin didn't like his son to cry like a woman the most, so before he could figure out what was going on, he immediately scolded Li Zhen angrily.

"Enlighten the Emperor. It's the son's incompetence that failed to protect the little aunt, please punish the father! "Li Zhen, this kid is definitely deliberate, what he said is clueless, except for Li Su, who knows the inside story, other people can't understand it at all, in order to provoke Li Shimin's anger.

Li Shimin was confused when he heard it, and then looked at Li Zhen's unproductive appearance, and sure enough, he was even more angry in his heart. shouted angrily at the moment: "Bastard, get up and talk back to me, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Father, it's better for the sons to speak!" Li Su watched Li Zhen's play almost finish, and his father's anger also rose, and it was his turn to play. So take a step forward.

"Well, Rokuro, you say!" Li Shimin sat down angrily, glared at Li Zhen fiercely and scolded, "It's not a thing!" ”

"Father Qi, the eighth brother is still young, and he has suffered a big change just now, so he will be so out of shape." Li Su first explained a few words for Li Zhen, and when he saw Li Shimin's face pale, he spoke again: "Father, the little aunt in the mouth of the eighth brother refers to the daughter of Ying Guogong, named Wu Meiniang, she and the eighth brother's mother are cousins, and she was recommended by Concubine Yan to enter ......the palace a few days ago."

Li Su first introduced Wu Meiniang's situation, and Li Shimin seemed to remember such a thing, Concubine Yan did recommend a woman to enter the palace, so she was no longer angry, and quietly listened to Li Su talk about what happened today. Of course, in order not to let Li Shimin misunderstand why Li Zhen went to find Wu Meiniang every day? Li Su also briefly introduced the little beauty and Li Zhen.

"What~?" When he heard that Wu Meiniang was actually abducted on the street, Li Shimin was extremely shocked, he really didn't expect that someone would be so bold to kidnap people in Chang'an, but the captive was the daughter of the prince who was about to be hired into the palace, this is simply slapping him in the face of the emperor!

After the shock, there was a rage, Li Shimin angrily slapped the table and roared, scolding the other party for being lawless, and after venting for a while, he suddenly came to his senses and yelled at Li Su and Li Zhen: "Such a big thing happened, you didn't go to help arrest the bandits, what did you do here with me?" ”

What Li Shimin said is also reasonable, although the person has been lost, but Chang'an has always been strict in the management of public security, although it will be relaxed because of the Shangyuan Festival, but as long as the various public security departments cooperate, coupled with the supervision of Li Su and Li Zhen, there is still a great hope to find someone, as for Li Shimin, just send someone to report a letter.

Li Zhen also wiped away her tears at this time, and now when she heard her father's blame, she immediately replied: "Father, after the incident, the child has already notified the various yamen in Chang'an, but after such a long time, he still found nothing, and there are some hidden secrets in this, it is really not good for others to know, if the child's guess is right, this is simply my royal scandal!" ”

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Li Shimin's face sank, especially the 'royal scandal', which made his heart skip a beat, and he had a very ominous premonition, so he held back his anger at the moment and asked in a deep voice: "Hachiro, if there is any secret, just say it!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Li Zhen looked sad and angry, and continued, "Father, do you remember when the fifth brother led people to besiege the sixth brother's mansion? ”

"I remember!" Hearing Li Zhen mention that incident, Li Shimin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and several things that seemed unrelated to him seemed to be suddenly strung together by a line, but this line was still a little blurry, and it was not clear for the time being.

"Father, the reason why the fifth brother besieged the sixth brother's mansion was because the sixth brother wanted to help me ......"

Li Zhen also returned to her usual articulate voice at this time, and told the cause and effect of the incident. In fact, in Li Zhen's heart, it has been determined that Li You did the matter, after all, the Wu family mother and daughter have no grudges on weekdays, and they may have offended people when Ying Guogong was alive, but now there are two brothers Wu Yuanqing in Ying Guogong's mansion, even if the other party wants to retaliate, it will not be the turn of the Wu family mother and daughter. And when the two black-clothed men robbed people, the goal was very clear, and he didn't move as a prince, but only attacked Wu Meiniang, obviously not against their Li royal family.

It is precisely because he thinks in his heart that it is Li You's hand, so when Li Zhen talks about the original incident, he deliberately exaggerates Li You's covetousness for Wu Meiniang, and also told his own analysis, the other party is not retaliating against the Ying Guo Mansion and the royal family anyway, do you need to talk about the rest of the things?

Li Shimin is not a fool, since the possibility of targeting the Yingguo Mansion and the royal family has been ruled out, then there is only one explanation, the other party is happy to target Wu Meiniang herself, but she is a weak woman, powerless and powerless, except that the other party covets her beauty, there is no other explanation, it can be seen that there are not many people who have Wu Meiniang, and she is a person who has been hired into the palace, she is almost half of Li Shimin's woman, even if ordinary people are cowardly, which one has the courage to move her? Based on the above, who else has the motive and courage to attack Wu Meiniang, except for Li You?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face was already gloomy and he could wring out water, he didn't care about a woman, but what he didn't expect was that the one who robbed his woman turned out to be his own son, which can no longer be described in the words "big rebellion", it is simply inferior to a beast. This kind of behavior has completely disregarded him as a father, and if he can rob a woman today, it is not impossible to snatch his throne tomorrow.

"Evil barrier~, brute!" Li Shimin covered his heart, only felt that there was a stuffy breath in his chest, and he couldn't vent it no matter what, and his heart was like being cut by a knife, and he wanted to scream in pain.

"Father is angry, now it's just a guess, maybe it wasn't the fifth brother who did it!" Li Su saw that Li Shimin's face was not good, and he was afraid of making him angry, so he hurriedly comforted, "And father, you have to take care of your body in everything, if you are angry because of this incident, I am afraid it will damage my Tang Dynasty foundation!" ”

Hearing Li Su's persuasion, Li Shimin's face finally looked better, not because he listened to Li Su's words, but when he saw Li Su, he suddenly thought that although he had an unscrupulous son like Li You, he also had a good son like Li Su, and although the other sons were not as good as Li Su, they were not bad. It was precisely because of these thoughts that Li Shimin felt a little relieved, but at the same time, his hatred for Li You's son was even stronger.

Although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, Li Shimin was worthy of being a generation of heroes, and quickly sorted out the situation in front of him, since this matter involved Li You, and it was also a scandal of his son robbing the old woman, he must not investigate it with great fanfare, otherwise the royal face would be lost.

"Liulang, you immediately accompany Balang to the various public security yamen in Chang'an to solve the case, just say that the person has been found, so that they don't have to interfere anymore, and don't make a noise about this matter, and the others will be dealt with by their own father." Li Shimin thought for a while. Since you can't make a noise, it seems that you can only secretly send people to investigate, of course it is best to find someone, if you can't find anyone, you must also figure out the ins and outs of this matter, after all, everything is just speculation now, although Li You's suspicion is big, but there is no solid evidence to prove that he did it.

"The retainers obey!" Li Su and Li Zhen immediately bowed down and replied, then turned and walked out of the palace.

After Li Zhen accompanied Li Zhen to finish the matter, and then went back to the palace together, first went to the courtyard of Wu's mother and daughter, Yang learned that Wu Meiniang was taken away, frightened unconscious, fortunately, after the rescue of the imperial doctor, the person finally woke up, but still lying on the bed, crying from time to time, and Xiao Meiniang kept crying quietly.

Li Zhen didn't seem to want to hear the cry of the mother and daughter, so she left Li Zhen after comforting her, and even escaped with a little embarrassment, but fortunately, Li Zhen's mind was on comforting the little beauty, but she didn't pay attention to Li Zhen's abnormality.

However, after Li Su left the courtyard of Wu's mother and daughter, he did not go directly to the backyard of the palace, but went to a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the palace, where there were already people waiting for him. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
