I didn't sleep well this night, I woke up several times in the night, and finally I couldn't sleep, I got up before dawn, and I waited outside Chaoyang Palace early, thinking about kneeling quickly and going back quickly.

The person guarding the door today is no longer Xiao Fu, the person in front of her is very eye-catching, she has never seen it, and he looks like a shrewd and capable man, he hugged Ling Yueyan and did not speak.

When everyone was almost there, Ling Yueyan followed in, and Li Nannan behind him chased after him and whispered, "Where did you go last night?" I've seen you snuck out. ”

Ling Yueyan turned around and smiled at her, after a night, the makeup on Li Nannan's face hadn't changed, and she was surprised: "You won't stay up all night in order to keep your makeup, right?" ”

"If you want to take care of it, can't I let the maid carry rouge gouache with me?" Li Nannan said stiffly, in fact, she just didn't sleep all night, otherwise how could she find Ling Yueyan sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Li Nannan was about to ask, but the eunuch in charge shouted: "Silence." He also glanced at Li Nannan by the way.

Today's time passed much faster than last night, and it was over in a while, Ling Yueyan dragged his tired body out of the palace, and waited in the carriage for a while, wanting to see if he could wait for his father, and then a young soldier came forward and said that his father would return late, so Ling Yueyan called the groom back.

"It was Li Nannan's carriage just now, hasn't she left yet?" Ling Yueyan asked, the carriage seemed to have been there all along, and he hadn't seen Li Nannan come out.

Lu Liu replied: "Second Miss Li seems to have been called by Cao Guifei. ”

Ling Yueyan was taken aback: "Concubine Cao?!" ”

It's over, this matter is a big deal, Cao Guifei has always had no room for sand in her eyes, it must have been what the eunuch in charge said to Cao Guifei just now, Li Nannan went to see Cao Guifei with that face, and if she didn't die, she would have to lose half her life.

"Turn around, let's go into the palace." Ling Yueyan instructed the horseman.

Green Pomegranate didn't know what was going on, so she didn't ask much, and sat quietly on the side.

The carriage shook violently suddenly, and Ling Yueyan reacted quickly and grabbed the green pomegranate on the opposite side, and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss, someone stopped the car." Mafu said.

"Who?" Ling Yueyan didn't lift the curtain, on the street, if there was a man on the other side, the impact would be bad.

The groom didn't reply, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and someone rode to Ling Yueyan's side, only to hear the man say: "Although you have good intentions, you may have done something bad." ”

This voice is somewhat familiar, Ling Yueyan lightly lifted the carriage curtain, and saw the man's boots, Ling Yueyan recognized this person with just this pair of boots, this person is the second prince, Ye Zhengge's own brother.

"The second prince is stopping the carriage here, I know what impact it will have on me." Ling Yueyan said calmly.

The horse elder barked, as if he was deliberately luring people over, Ling Yueyan frowned, she didn't bother with the second prince because of Ye Zhengge's face, this person still has to inch in.

"Do you know what your father is discussing with the ministers in the palace right now?" The second prince said.

Ling Yueyan didn't have the heart to tell him this at this time, and ordered the groom to continue walking, but the second prince took out his whip and directly unloaded the wheels of the carriage.

"If you go, many things will not be so easy to control, and if you are offended, I will personally go to the General's Mansion to make amends in the future." After speaking, the second prince rode away on horseback, in the direction of the palace.

The groom hurriedly went down to find someone to repair the wheels, this was at the foot of the imperial city, it was difficult to find a new carriage, Ling Yueyan had to wait in the car.

She was a little puzzled, why did the second prince come here in person, and deliberately attracted people to come to see it, why did the second prince stop her from going back to Li Nannan?

It had already been two or three hours since the wheels of the carriage were repaired, and the sun was about to set, and when Ling Yueyan came to the gate of the palace, Li Nannan's carriage was no longer there.

When he returned to the house, Ling Yueyan immediately asked people to inquire if Li Nannan had gone back, it was because a cook wanted to teach Li Nannan a lesson, so he didn't remind her that her makeup was not suitable for such an occasion, but if it was really because she didn't remind Li Nannan to suffer any injuries or... She'll never want to go for the rest of her life.

The small box had already packed up and waited in the courtyard, and Ling Yueyan remembered that today was the time to make an appointment with the senior brother to go up the mountain.

Ling Yueyan waited for a long time and the people who went out to inquire had not come back, the senior brother had already come, standing at the door and waiting, the luggage was loaded into the carriage one by one, and he also said goodbye to his mother, Ling Yueyan stood outside the carriage and was slow to come.

"Miss, what are you looking at? If we don't leave, we'll have to spend the night on the road. The little box came out of the carriage with its head out.

The elder brother rode over: "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Ling Yueyan shook his head, forget it, no matter how domineering Concubine Hu is, it is impossible to kill someone because of such a trivial matter, let's go first, the little girl who heard about it will definitely send a message to her when he comes back.

So Ling Yueyan got into the carriage and didn't leave in a hurry, but opened the curtain and looked at the senior brother outside: "I'm sorry, I wanted to help you ask about your junior sister's whereabouts in the palace, but I was heavily guarded and couldn't help it." ”

The senior brother smiled with relief: "Your father sent me the results of the investigation last night. ”

"Really? How's that, did you find it? Ling Yueyan asked, he didn't expect his father to really take this matter to heart, it seemed that he was determined to send her up the mountain.

Senior Brother shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, Ling Yueyan knew that it was definitely not a good result.

"The bodies of forty-nine dancing girls and fourteen cooks were found in the pond in the cold palace, gnawed beyond recognition by snakes and insects."

Ling Yueyan was shocked, how could she be so cruel, who did it, and why did she want to kill it, she asked, "Are you sure that Senior Sister is among them?" ”

The eldest brother didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, she was also there during the centennial celebration, and she also watched the dancing queens dance, maybe she had seen spruce, but the emperor suddenly fell ill, and everyone was sent back to the palace that night, and no one found out that those dancing girls and cooks were mutilated.

The carriage had not gone far when someone behind him shouted, "Miss, Miss! ”

It was the little guy who went out to inquire, the little guy ran hard this way, the senior brother drove over and brought people over, the little guy was panting, his tongue couldn't be straightened, and Ling Yueyan didn't understand it after talking for a long time.

"Speak slowly, make it clear!" Ling Yue Yan said.

The little guy slowed down and said, "Li Shangshu is dead." ”

"What?!! Ouch! One didn't pay attention, his head hit the roof of the carriage, and the little box hurriedly reached out to protect it.

The little box was also surprised, how could this good guy die, wasn't he an upstart in the dynasty, and he died like this after only a few years in office?

Ling Yueyan rubbed his head and asked anxiously, "How did you die?" What about Li Nannan? ”

"I heard that the people in the Li Mansion have all left, and Miss Li took Li Xiaogongzi to her husband's house, but I didn't hear about Miss Li Er." The little guy replied.

Ling Yueyan frowned, how could this be, was it really because of a makeup? It certainly won't be that simple.

"I'm going back first." Ling Yueyan said to Senior Brother.

The senior brother understood, although he didn't know who this Li Nannan was, but he should be a good playmate, and the senior brother pointed to an inn not far in front of him and said: "Let them wait in the inn first, and I'll take you back, so as not to have trouble transporting your luggage back and forth." ”

Ling Yueyan nodded, asked for a horse, and left the small box at the inn, originally she was going to go up the mountain to bring some luggage casually, but her mother had to add some things, what gifts for the master and the disciples in the mountains were a lot of gifts, and she also brought a few messengers and cooking grandmothers, for fear that the food in the mountains would treat her badly.

Ling Yueyan hurried to the Li Mansion, and he couldn't imagine the picture when he saw the words of the ruined family in the book before, but now he really felt what it meant to be 'people go to tea and cool'.

Li Nannan's mother died of dystocia after giving birth to Li Xiaogongzi, and Li Shangshu has not continued the string, in other words, Li Mansion is only supported by Li Shangshu alone, and as soon as Li Shangshu dies, Li Mansion will be gone.

Gold and silver jewelry, gorgeous clothes, all over the ground, the house is empty and even the sound of the wind can be heard, the senior brother pointed to the inner room and said, "There are people." ”

Ling Yueyan hurriedly ran in, and sure enough, he saw Li Nannan, who was squatting on the ground unkempt, the makeup on his face was still the same as today, but he couldn't spend it anymore, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his face was full of tears.

Li Nannan turned his head to look at the voice when he heard the voice, and saw that it was Ling Yueyan, who was a little surprised in his eyes, and then sneered: "You came to see the joke." ”

"You always scolded me like a wild girl when I quarreled before, I don't know what to do, one day I will cause big trouble for my father, and now you have got what you want, my father was killed by me, are you satisfied?"

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Yueyan also felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Nannan wiped the tears from his face, and the senior brother walked out with a sense of humor, standing outside the courtyard and waiting.

"Cao Guifei said that I had no respect for the elders, ignored the royal family, and even dressed up during the state funeral, saying... He said that it was my father's fault and called him into the palace. Li Nannan said.

"It's just called into the palace to reprimand, why would..."

"He didn't contradict her, and his father didn't contradict her!" Li Nannan couldn't cry, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Ling Yueyan had no choice, and he couldn't find words of comfort, so he had to take her with him, if she had reminded Li Nannan earlier, maybe it wouldn't be like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

The little box usually hates Li Nannan the most, but when he saw Li Nannan's appearance, he still had nothing to say, so he silently went to the shopkeeper Xiao Er to ask for hot water, and also found a piece of clothing in the young lady's luggage.

Ling Yueyan was amazed by such a small box with a general understanding, and sure enough, it was with her, although she usually had a small fight with Li Nannan, and she did hate Li Nannan very much because of Brother Ye Zheng, but she was homeless now, which was really miserable.

If Ling Yueyan was not wrong when he took her out of the Li Mansion just now, at the moment when Li Nannan got up, a white silk fell from his body.
