The sky after the rain was exceptionally clean, and under the leadership of the county Cheng Zhao Quan, the arrester investigated the scene in an orderly manner and searched for evidence.

Shen Zhitang looked at the gradually dimming sky and said: "You can let the hunters collect the corpses, Liu Sizheng, you hurry back to Lining City now, report the situation here to the emperor, and we will set off for Fuhu Mountain next."

Liu Wen bowed down and replied, "Yes."

Shen Zhitang turned around and said to Li Jianqing: "Jianqing, you escort Liu Sizheng back to Beijing, bring Wei Ping with you when you come, and we will meet in the town outside tomorrow."

Li Jianqing hesitated and said: "Teacher~"

Shen Zhitang smiled: "It's okay~ There are so many officials here to catch quickly, it will be fine."

Li Jianqing nodded, turned around and kept up with Liu Wen's pace

In the imperial womb, Li Zhilian sent away the two imperial doctors, and when he saw that it was getting late, he also got up to say goodbye to Li Chenghou.

Li Chenghou was reluctant to get up to see her off, but she pressed back to the bed and said, "Have a good rest, my aunt will come to see you tomorrow."

Li Chenghou hesitated for a while before shouting: "Little chess piece~ prepare a carriage and take the eldest princess out of the palace"

Coming out of the prince's bedroom, Li Zhilian stood in the courtyard and looked at it, silent all around, how could it be so deserted

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the little chess piece turned around to take a look, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "He Gongzi~"

Hearing this familiar name, Li Zhilian turned his head silently

He Gongzi stood not far away and looked at her, different from the cold face in front of Yang Tao's door that day, his face was gentle, and his voice was soft: "Little chess piece~ You go back to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and I will send Her Royal Highness the eldest princess out of the palace"

Li Zhilian moved his left foot back half a step and made a defensive posture: "It's you?" ”

He Gongzi nodded, motioned for the little chess piece to leave first, and then bowed and saluted: "In Xia Xiao He, I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess~"

Li Zhi was stunned: "Your surname is Xiao?" ”

Xiao He smiled at her, took two steps forward and stood side by side with her: "What?" Didn't your senior brother Li Jianqing tell you? ”

Li Zhilian turned his head to look at him, squeezed out a smile and said: "Xiao Gongzi's skill to sow discord, if a woman enters the harem, she will definitely be the one who can stand at the top."

Xiao He looked ahead and said gently: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not bad at articulate."

Li Zhilian smiled: "Thank you~ Xiao Gongzi for the compliment" and stopped talking

The road was silent, the corridor lights were quietly lit in the night, occasionally the wind came, the candle flame fluttered slightly, and the lights in the womb seemed to flow in the wind

Xiao He walked slowly, and always maintained a parallel rhythm with Li Zhilian

Li Zhilian was thinking about how to get rid of the people on the side, when he suddenly heard Xiao He smile and said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not curious about why I am here?" ”

Li Zhilian was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses: "Although the prince is young, he is also a prince, and how to act has his own rules."

Xiao He looked at her sideways, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Well, then if I come out of Li Jianqing's room today, will Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also have such an attitude?" ”

Li Zhilian stood still, raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "What do you mean by Xiao Gongzi?" ”

Xiao He looked at her and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a living person to you, that's why you don't care so much, right?" ”

Li Zhi looked at him in amazement, the lights near and far were blurry, reflecting his smile, as if there was another meaning in it that she didn't know

Li Zhilian lowered her head and melted herself into this silence, suddenly she heard the sound of rapid breathing not far away, turned to look at the target, a short figure got up and fled quickly, raised her eyes at Xiao He and sneered: "Xiao Gongzi is really a good method!" ”

Xiao He turned around, and his face returned to the gloom he had when he first saw him: "The palace gate is ahead, the eldest princess walks slowly"

Li Zhilian walked out of the gate of the palace quickly, got into the carriage that had already been prepared there, and said softly: "Go to the Shen Mansion"

Xiao He walked a few steps, suddenly stopped and asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince~ Don't move around at will if you are not in good health"

Li Chenghou walked out from under a big tree and said coldly, "You did it on purpose? ”

Xiao He smiled: "So what? ”

Li Chenghou raised his head and glared at him: "Do you know that what you did today may make me lose the two great powers of Shen Zhitang and Liangyi Mountain?"

Xiao He looked down at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile: "The talent you get is considered lost" After speaking, he left, leaving Li Chenghou alone in the same place with angry eyes

"I don't know if the teacher and senior brother have come back" Back in the Shen Mansion, Li Zhilian went to the study first

The door of the study was closed, there was no light, it seemed that he had not returned, and he glanced at the main room not far away, and it was also dark

I suddenly remembered that outstanding and dignified woman, if she was still there, Shen Mansion would not be so lonely

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet Shen Qiu, who came over, and asked, "Hasn't the teacher come back yet?" ”

Shen Qiu nodded a little worriedly: "I didn't come back~ I didn't have any information, I made a table of dishes, and none of them came back to eat."

Li Zhilian then remembered that she didn't seem to have eaten for a day

Shen Qiu looked at her with blank eyes and said, "Miss Zhilian~ Have you eaten?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded: "Not yet~"

Shen Qiu immediately said: "Then I'll send you to the house when it's hot in a while."

In the courtyard of the East Wing, there was no one in the silence, Bai Yin'er chose a few maids for her, she was not used to it, and only one Aunt Lin was left to do some chores such as boiling water and cooking rice

She knocked on Aunt Lin's door: "Aunt ~ help me warm up the water"

Aunt Lin immediately got up: "The slave maid will go"

Just after the battle, hot water and hot dishes arrived at the same time, Li Zhilian sat at the table and watched Shen Qiu keep taking out the dishes from the food box, and couldn't help asking, "So many?" Did you leave food for your teacher and brother? ”

Shen Qiu nodded and said, "Stay~Stay~" Packing up the lunch box and preparing to leave, Li Zhilian grabbed him: "Brother Shen Qiu~ Dinner is early, let's eat some more!" ”

Shen Qiu shook his head and said, "I ate too much for dinner!" Not hungry~"

Li Zhilian called Aunt Lin and said: "Auntie~ You go and add a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks~ Then go to the gate of the courtyard and call the two guards who are guarding the door together."

Saying that, she picked out some food and put it in the bowl, stood up with the bowl and said, "Zhilian has been coming to the Shen Mansion for some time, and I haven't entertained them well, Brother Shen Qiu, you can help me treat them."

They ate very quickly, and when Li Zhilian went out, the table had already been cleaned up, and she was penniless now, so she could only do so

took a bath, sat in the house and dried her hair, thinking about the relationship between Li Chenghou and Xiao He, and thinking about whether she should tell Shen Zhitang that in the past, she could rely on herself for her own affairs, but now that it is about the court, she really doesn't know what to do

Her hair was dry, and she was still thinking about Xiao He's problem, this person was too dangerous

"Knock knock knock ~ Is it sleepy?" A familiar voice sounded outside the door

Li Zhilian hurriedly got up and pushed open the door and said, "Senior brother~ Are you back?" ”

Li Jianqing entered the house, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying: "The teacher didn't come back, I escorted Lord Liu back to face the saint, and I have to take Wei Ping there early tomorrow morning."

Li Zhilian "um~" and said: "Wei Ping still has many doubts, when I interrogated him, I just used words to scare, he was afraid of being like that, it seems to be a little deliberate, senior brother must be careful on the road"

Li Jianqing was surprised and asked, "Why don't you go with us?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded and said: "I went to see the prince today, that He Gongzi is in the palace of the prince" raised his eyes and looked at Li Jianqing and said: "He said his name is Xiao He"

Li Jianqing was silent for a long time before he said, "Sure enough, it's him."

Li Zhilian asked, "Senior brother knows him?" ”

Li Jianqing shook his head and said, "I can't say I know each other, I've seen it twice in Nianse Village."

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "He is the weirdo who saved you in Su Yun's mouth?" ”

Li Jianqing nodded and said, "He seems to know me very well...... All in all a very bad feeling."

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "I'll go to the Taigong Palace again tomorrow."

Li Jianqing got up and said: "Be careful in everything~ I still have to go to Dali Temple"
