On the second day, Xiao Yezi dressed up neatly and went to see the Empress Dowager Zhen. She went with enthusiasm, but she didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhen didn't want to see her at all, so she only coped with a few words, rewarded a few silk silks and a few boxes of pearls and jade, and asked her to leave the palace. Yunxi was busy with things and couldn't be distracted to accompany her. She went to the palace alone, but found nothing, and became more and more unhappy.

Xiao Yezi walked out of the palace gate in a daze, and it happened that Li Li also walked out of the palace. He was soft-spoken, and he didn't have to come to the palace to pay respects, but the Queen Mother and Xinjun remembered that he had recovered the Creation Building from Ren Qingmei's hands and preserved the merits of the royal family and the Heavenly King Gang in collecting a large amount of tax money and grain, so they summoned him to the palace to reward him for a while. Seeing that Li Li had more rewards and gifts than her own, Xiao Yezi couldn't help but sigh - who gave the money was the uncle.

Li Li listened to her judgment and sneered: "What are you thinking about?" He is now a subordinate of Yunxi, and naturally lives in the Regent's Mansion, so he asked his subordinates to transport the rewards and gifts of himself and Xiao Yezi back to the mansion. Last night, she received a holy decree about rewarding Xiao Yezi, and Li Li also had a lot of questions to ask, so she and Xiao Yezi walked back to the house and chatted while walking. Among the questions, the most critical is of course whether Yunxi bullied Xiaoyezi. After all, Yunxi has a black history in front of him, and he is afraid of evoking Xiao Yezi's unhappy memories, so even if Li Li inquires, he must be cautious in his words. But seeing Xiao Yezi's expression as usual, he was half relieved.

"So, someone is behind it?" Li Li said.

Xiao Yezi nodded: "It should be." But now there is no clue, and I don't know where this person is sacred. For today's plan, we can only take one step at a time. ”

Li Li bowed: "Since you want to persuade Lu Zheng to surrender...... he took out a wooden pendant from his waist and handed it to Xiao Yezi, "You can take this wooden pendant first, or it will be useful in the future." But now that you are nominally Yunxi's wife, if Yang Yizhao comes back, what are you going to do? ”

Xiao Yezi put Mu Pei in his purse and sighed: "I'm not worried about this...... The Heavenly King Gang is in trouble, and I believe that Yang Yizhao will not stand idly by. I just did something for him. As long as you catch the real culprit quickly and dissolve this embarrassing relationship, this matter will be over. She didn't want Li Li to be distracted, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "I met Sister Xue this morning, and I heard that she was going back to Cloudsdale?" ”

Li Li bowed his head and said: "Well, my father-in-law is a little unwell, she is not at ease, so she has to go back to have a look." I was thinking about leaving after attending the wedding of the helper, but now it's time to hit the road. ”

Xiao Yezi saw him talking eloquently, and couldn't help but quip: "What, I am reluctant to let my daughter-in-law go back?" ”

Li Li's face turned red: "...... Nonsense. ”

Xiao Yezi was about to say more, and suddenly a person passed by her. Before Xiao Yezi could see this person's appearance clearly, he was hit to the ground by this person, and he was dizzy. Li Li hurriedly pulled her up. Xiao Yezi muttered: "What kind of person is this, I don't look at the road when I walk......" She gently touched her waist with her hand, and suddenly exclaimed, "My purse!" The purse is gone! ”

Li Li hurriedly looked for the person who hit her just now, but there was a vast sea of people, but where to find it?

Xiao Yezi lost Mu Pei, and was so anxious that he was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard a miserable scream on the street in front of him: "Oops——! ”

The two of them looked at each other with a pang in their hearts, and when they heard the sound, they both rushed forward.

There was a circle of people on the street in front of me, and I didn't know what they were looking at.

Xiao Yezi was still outside the circle, and he heard a few bold people poking and pointing in the crowd.

"The wind is going down, alas, the wind is going down. It is a sin to beat people like this for the sake of a pot of wine. ”

"Shhh, be quiet, if Young Master Zhen hears it, you will be the unlucky one."

"Hmph, isn't it just that my sister is the queen mother? On weekdays, he was arrogant and domineering to fish and meat people, but now he has three points, and he is even more unwilling to forgive people. If such a person is in charge, sooner or later the country will not be a country. ”

"The royal relatives and relatives, even the new regent has to give three points, what can you and I do?"

Who is so bold that he doesn't even care about the regent. Xiao Yezi pulled Li Li and struggled to squeeze into the circle of people, and looked at it fixedly. Several family members surrounded an old man and beat him hard, and a boy in brocade clothes was shouting and directing with a dancing girl in his arms. Li Li recognized that the beaten old man was Uncle Ding, the father of Ding Xiang and Ding Fang's two hall masters in Cloud City, and he just wanted to stop it, but he didn't want Xiao Yezi next to him to step forward, kicked away a family member, protected the old man, and said angrily: "The Son of Heaven is bullying at his feet, is there any royal law?" ”

When the boy in brocade saw a beautiful lady standing in front of the old man, his eyes suddenly lit up, he retreated from the house, and said with an evil smile: "Where did the little lady come from, she is so beautiful." ”

Xiao Yezi helped Uncle Ding up, and when he heard Zhen Gongzi's disrespectful words, he immediately glanced at him sideways, and said coldly: "Where did the little beast come from, he has a black heart and poisonous hands." ”

Zhen Gongzi listened to her sarcastic words, his face changed when he landed, and with a wave of his hand, a family member immediately stepped forward and wanted to push Xiao Yezi: "Be bold, dare to be rude to us Zhen Gongzi......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a red shadow flash, and before he could react, he was knocked to the ground with a heavy punch. Xiao Yezi turned his head to look, only to see Li Li patting the dust on his hands for a long time, and snorted: "What is Zhen Gongzi and Fake Son, I don't know." ”

Zhen Yi Gongzi trembled angrily, stretched out a finger and pointed at Li Li, and said, "Don't give it to me yet!" ”

The family members shouted, seeing Li Li pounce one after another. Li Li stood on the ground, did not dodge or dodge, only picked up the Tianxue silence on his body and held it in his hand, did not draw the knife, bowed slightly, and the scabbard was lightly slashed from left and right. The family members couldn't see what tricks Li Li had in his hands, but they felt a flower in front of them, and they were knocked to the ground by Li Li's scabbard one by one, and they writhed on the ground and shouted in pain.

Zhen Gongzi lost the protection of his family, and saw that Li Li's swordsmanship was skillful, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and the dancing girl also pushed it aside and said in a trembling voice: "You ...... Who are you? If you have the guts, leave your name! Wait for the master to go back and bring all the people, and then come to you to settle the account! ”

Li Li snorted: "My name is Li Li." Hello sheng remember. ”

Zhen Gongzi didn't dare to stay, so he turned around and fled. When everyone saw Li Li and Xiao Yezi driving away Zhen Gongzi, they applauded. Li Li hurriedly thanked everyone and asked everyone to disperse, and only then stepped forward to help Xiao Yezi pick up Uncle Ding, and said gently: "Uncle Ding, are you okay?" ”

Uncle Ding shook his head: "Alas...... This calamity has been caused for no reason. Thank you Li Shaoxia and the girl for saving each other. ”

Li Li smiled slightly and said humbly: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's our business." ”

Xiao Yezi thought of the information he heard in the crowd just now, not only was he puzzled, but immediately asked, "I heard someone say that this incident started because of a pot of wine?" ”

Uncle Ding nodded and said, "This matter is also strange...... The small shop is not large, and it can operate in the capital for several years, all thanks to the brewing recipe passed down from the ancestors. Thanks to the ancestors, the wine of the small shop has also made a name for itself in this capital, and some dignitaries are often willing to come to the small shop to eat wine. This Zhen Gongzi is also one of the distinguished guests. Today he came to the restaurant as usual for wine, and I prepared his favorite seven-year-old wine for him as usual. I didn't know that Zhen Gongzi tasted wrong when he tasted it. Zhen Gongzi is a relative of the emperor, where do I dare to offend, and I am busy selling a pot for him. After Zhen Gongzi tasted the wine, he was even more furious, saying that I drugged the wine and entertained him...... But I'm really wronged, the small shop has been open in the capital for so many years, and it has been operating in good faith, and Tong Suo is not bullied, how can he deliberately drug the wine of the distinguished guest? But Zhen Gongzi is used to being unscrupulous on weekdays, and he can't afford to lose at all, so he is willing to listen to my explanation, and he started to do it without saying a word......"

Xiao Yezi greeted Xiao Er and brought up the wine that Zhen Gongzi disliked just now. She sniffed it first, then dipped a little of it with her hand and put it on the tip of her tongue to taste it, and said, "This is not a medicine, it's just some sour plum powder, it's not toxic and harmless, it's just mixed with the smell of wine." ”

Li Li pondered: "Maybe some people are dissatisfied with Zhen Gongzi's usual prestige and do some pranks to trick him, but I don't know." It doesn't matter, let's find a doctor to bandage Uncle Ding first. ”

Xiao Yezi said hatefully: "Why are you so unlucky today, first I lost Mu Pei, and now I have encountered such a bad thing, it's really enough." ”

Li Li said with relief: "When I return home, I will draw pictures and look for Mu Pei." This thing is neither gold nor jade, and it will not be resold in the future. It's just a matter of persuasion, and we have to find another way. ”

After a while, the doctor invited by Li Li had arrived. Seeing that the doctor had properly treated Uncle Ding, Xiao Yezi and Tong Li Li left the inn and returned to the Regent's Mansion. Li Li said that there were still government affairs to deal with, and Xiao Yezi would let him go. But for some reason, the matter of the inn just now was still lingering in Xiao Yezi's heart, but there was no clue, and he couldn't find any connection between things. Speaking of which, it's just a trifle, or as Li Li said, it's a prank. But these strange things happened one after another around her, so she couldn't help but worry that this matter was related to Yunxi. Or wait for Yunxi to come back and talk to him, maybe Yunxi will know the answer.

She sat in the hall and waited for Yunxi to come back, not wanting to wait until the next night. With the report of the family, Yunxi walked in from outside the door, with a tired face. Xiao Yezi wanted to tell Yunxi directly what happened today, but seeing that he was so tired and couldn't bear it, he first brought him a bowl of hot soup that had been prepared and sent it to Yunxi.

Yunxi was dealing with political affairs for two days and one night, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted, but when he smelled the fragrance of hot soup at this time, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yezi a few more times, with some surprise and surprise: "This is what you did?" ”

This question made Xiao Yezi blush--in fact, it was prepared by the housekeeper, she just brought it with her hand, and she didn't want Yunxi to be so happy. She had no choice but to confess: "Actually...... No. But if you like it, I can make it for you. ”

Yunxi smiled slightly: "...... All right. ”

His smile was so gentle that her heart beat faster. She coughed to hide her past.

Yun Xi looked at her with interest for a while, then lowered his head and drank the soup, and said with a smile: "You waited so late, do you have something to look for me?" ”

can be regarded as having a chance to speak, Xiao Yezi hurriedly jumped up and told Yunxi what happened today: "...... Do you think I'm too careful? But I feel like there's some connection between the two things. But I couldn't find the commonality. ”

Yunxi pondered for a moment: "These two things really don't seem to have anything to do with each other on the surface. However, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and we must not take it lightly. Keep an eye out and see if there are any other ......."

Before Yunxi finished speaking, the housekeeper suddenly ran over in a panic: "Oh no, no, Li Tianwang taught Zhen Guozhang to take it." ”

As soon as Xiao Yezi heard that Li Li had something, he immediately became angry: "What's the matter?" Are you talking about Li Li? What Zhen Guozhang? What to take? ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Today, the regular distribution of the regular silver in the Yulu office, I will take the account room to receive the share for our prince." As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw Zhen Guozhang coming out of the palace with a Biao Imperial Forest Army, and he came to our house. I was afraid that something would happen to Zhen Guozhang, so I hurried back, but when I rushed to the house, I saw that Zhen Guozhang had left. I asked the doorkeeper, and the boy said that the prince had come to look for Li Tianwang. But at that time, Li Tianwang was not in the mansion on business, Zhen Guozhang pounced, scolded a few words in front of the mansion, and left. I'm still wondering why Zhen Guozhang didn't look for the prince, only Li Tianwang. Shi Cai heard that Zhen Guozhang led the Imperial Forest Army to search and arrest on the street overnight, and finally caught Li Tianwang in a wine shop, seized his weapons and took him back to Dali Temple. Lord Wang, did this Li Tianwang commit something and offend Zhen Guozhang? If this is the case, the prince should be cautious. Zhen Guozhang's power is monstrous, and although the prince is the regent, he is still a newcomer, so it is better not to clash head-on with Zhen Guozhang. ”

"Zhen Guozhang...... Zhen Gongzi ...... Could it be that they are a family? Li Li was arrested in Dali Temple? What is Dali Temple? Are they trying to harm Li Li? Xiao Yezi said urgently.

The butler shook his head and said, "This ...... I don't know...... But there must be a reason for being able to arrest people to Dali Temple. ”

Yun Xi was thinking about it, and a disciple of the Heavenly King Gang hurriedly came and bowed respectfully in front of Yun Xi: "I've seen the helper." The villain came on the order of the Chai Heavenly King, and he had something urgent to tell the helper. ”

Yun Xi bowed his head and said, "Speak." ”

The disciples of the Heavenly King Gang bowed their heads and said: "Li Tianwang is suspected of killing Zhen Yan, the son of Zhen Guozhang, and has been ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhen to be imprisoned. Seven days later, the three Qings of Dali Temple will be tried, and if the evidence is complete, it will be judged and sentenced. ”

"Li Li killed Young Master Zhen? How could Li Li ......" Xiao Yezi said hurriedly, "This Zhen Gongzi is a bully, and there must be a lot of enemies, why did Li Li kill him?" ”

The Heavenly King helped the disciple and said, "The subordinates don't know the details here. King Chai Tianwang has rushed to the vicinity of Dali Temple to listen to the news, and asked the master to calm down. ”

Xiao Yezi hurriedly said: "How can you be a little restless?" This ......"

Yun Xi bowed his head and retired the housekeeper and disciples. He watched the little leaf pacing back and forth in front of him like an ant in a hot pot, and he didn't move.

Xiao Yezi couldn't help but say: "Li Li can't kill people......"
