After explaining to the chief of the chamberlain for a long time, and settling down in the West Institute to resurrect, Su Xiaozhou entered the Lizheng Palace.

"Your Highness, the minister wants to take a few days off."

She bowed respectfully, as far as she had ever done.

Li Hong, who was reclining on the couch and flipping through the scrolls, suddenly raised his head, looking a little surprised.

With Xiaozhou's temperament, knowing that he was poisoned, he would definitely stay in the palace without leaving an inch, how could he suddenly take leave and go out?

"Where to go? Do what? ”

"Something happened at home, between my brother and my little sister...... Somewhat unscrupulous. The minister went home and stayed for a few days, and then mediated and turned around. ”

Su Xiaozhou made up a reason.

What she really wants to do is to find out the bottom of Lu Ji.

When she brought Fusheng into the palace, she deliberately walked through the secluded small side gate in the northwest, but happened to bump into Lu Ji who was leaving the palace from there.

At that time, he received a man with a hood who could not see his face clearly, and introduced him as a doctor invited from outside the palace. Then, he deliberately asked the doctor to go first, and he pulled her to talk about the east and west, and also asked her to look at the jade pendant on her waist, saying that someone in the west market had picked up the lost property and returned it directly to the East Palace.

Under the sun, the crystal clear mutton fat white jade, texture, texture, lettering...... It is absolutely impossible to forge such a consistency, it is clearly the evidence she saw in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion an hour ago!

Originally, she thought that the murder was Lu Ji's own initiative to maintain the East Palace. However, as soon as he and Li Yu left on the front foot, the evidence on the back foot was "returned to the owner". If it weren't for the help of someone with hands and eyes, it would not have been possible to do it so tightly.

Perhaps, Lu Ji is the internal response of the mastermind of poisoning?

……

If that happens, it all makes sense.

It is precisely because there is a person as close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as an internal response that the other party can poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all year round.

The so-called "doctor" didn't even have a medicine box, he was sturdy like a martial artist, and he deliberately controlled his walking posture, obviously deliberately concealing his identity...... Lu Ji took him out of the palace in a foolish way, could it be the one who poisoned him? The suspect just left the palace under her nose, thinking about it carefully, she was quite unwilling, she secretly decided that if the betrayer was Lu Ji, she must catch the evidence with her own hands!

……

"No——, you're going to stay in the East Palace recently." Li Hong flatly rejected her request.

Su Xiaozhou was a little surprised, he rarely took leave, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never refused.

Sensing his abnormality, Li Hong coughed heavily.

The Tibetan mission was about to enter Beijing, and the father and queen mother handed over the task of receiving the mission to the East Palace. In the future, except for those who have errands on their bodies, all other generals above the seventh rank will be listed in the East and West Guards, and they will no longer be allowed to leave the palace at will. ”

"Reception Mission?!"

Su Xiaozhou was stunned, His Majesty knew His Royal Highness the Prince's body, how could he hand over such an errand to him?

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in Beijing, and there is a voice that is quite harsh, saying that the imperial court has forgotten the shame of the battle of Dafeichuan and intends to make peace with Tibet and rebuild the old friendship.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally received the mission, especially when the other party's envoy still led the army to slaughter the general of the Tang Army, which was really easy to fall into the hands of others.

"This is the ...... Is it okay to excuse yourself? She asked stupidly.

The reaction of his subordinates to the reception of the mission was all expected by Li Hong.

"The person who co-organized this matter was Wu Sansi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he would also enter the Liedong Palace Guard. The palace doesn't want to see him every day, and in the future, all discussions with him will be represented by you. ”

"Yes——, minister must do it well."

Su Xiaozhou knew that he didn't like his relatives.

Not only the crown prince of the East Palace, but also several other princes, and even the entire Li Tang clan, no normal person would like someone from the Wu family who was ambitious and powerful.

Seeing her sad face, Li Hong couldn't bear it again, waved his hand and said, "I will allow you to take a day off and come back before curfew tomorrow." ”

"Your Highness!"

Many plans quickly flashed through Su Xiaozhou's mind.

Eldest brother? He's too busy to hide secrets, no!

Sister Zheng? If the rest of the Zheng family finds out, it will be troublesome, no!

Yuan Yin? Helpless, no!

Younger sister...... Never mind!

At the moment, the only one who can help her is Li Yu. Although he is far from the words "Zhen" and "Wu", as long as it is about His Royal Highness the Prince, he will do his best as much as himself.

*******

Dongcheng Sufu Flower Hall

"Is there anyone in the kitchen? For a long time, I've been waiting until I'm hungry, so let's make some snacks. ”

A richly dressed lady admired the calligraphy and paintings on the wall while slowly instructing Mo'er, who came to serve tea.

"Yes."

Although Mo'er promised quickly, her face was a little embarrassed.

The visitor is the eldest daughter of His Majesty and the late Concubine Xiao Shu, Princess Yiyang.

This princess was once the jewel of His Majesty's palm, but her mother, Concubine Xiao Shufei, lost power and was imprisoned in the court with her sister for 16 years, until she married Yi Wei Quan Yi three years ago and was able to regain her freedom. The mansion of the right family is not far from the Su Mansion, because she has loved calligraphy and painting since childhood, and she has also studied under Yan Sikong.

Although Princess Yiyang is a royal nobleman, she has also suffered hardship, and she will never make things difficult for others, and she is also amiable and respectful when she gets along with her own lady. It was not the princess who troubled her today, but her own young lady, who went out early in the morning and didn't say where to go...... Nine times out of ten, he went to see the eldest son behind his back.

I don't know what's going on lately, Miss closes her door every day, and even the relatives who come to visit the door also decline. But the princess who came today never treated herself as an outsider said that she had a good set of color ink, and she insisted on waiting here for the young lady to come back and try it.

If she turned away the dignified princess like everyone else, she really didn't have the courage to do so. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke, "Princess, the hour is not early...... The fourth lady of my family may have lunch outside today. ”

The implication is that you might as well go home.

"Oh? It's almost lunchtime...... The new batch of calligraphy and paintings in your house is so good that I forgot about it. Princess Yiyang smiled pleasantly and beckoned to a maid standing outside the door.

This is going to go......

Mo'er just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Princess Yiyang say: "Xiaolan, you go back to the house and tell Aunt Jun, I will have lunch in the Su Mansion and go back later." ”

Her scalp tingled.

is another daughter-in-law who doesn't get along well with her mother-in-law, and she came to Su's house to hide and be clean, it seems that the princess doesn't plan to leave for a while.

After a while, the words that made her want to find a piece of tofu to shoot herself to death came - "I've been here many times, but I haven't seen your third lady yet." I heard that she has recently promised someone, and her health should be much better. Since Lan Yan is not here, I will bother her today. ”

"My family...... Third Miss ......"

Mo'er gasped. I always thought that the son and the young lady were not at home, and the princess would go home after a while, but I didn't expect that in the hearts of outsiders, the Su family still had a master!
