In the afternoon, a fast horse passed through the bustling streets of Shi'en Town to the door of the Fulai Inn, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly into the inn

The guard at the door bowed and saluted: "Li Gongzi~"

Li Jianqing nodded: "Where is the teacher?" ”

The guard pointed upstairs and said, "Upstairs~"

Li saw that he nodded and walked up the stairs quickly

Shen Zhitang was picking up a pen in the room to sort out the relationship between these cases and the Xiao family, Li Jianqing stood aside for a long time before pointing to the blank space on the paper and said, "Add another prince here."

Shen Zhitang was taken aback, hurriedly put down his pen, looked at Li Jianqing and said, "See Qing~ You're here"

Li Jianqing nodded, still pointing to the paper on the table and said, "Zhilian said that she had seen Xiao He in the Tai Palace, and she had already gone to check"

Shen Zhitang nodded with satisfaction: "No wonder you asked Shen Qiu to send Zhang Yu, it turned out that Zhilian had something to delay" raised his eyes and looked at Li Jianqing: "Lining City is surging, Zhilian is standing in the eye of the wind now, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful!" We're going to have to hurry."

Li Jianqing said "um", nodded and said: "The people who were ambushed on the road have also been handed over to Dali Temple."

Shen Zhitang glanced at Li Jianqing in surprise, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "If you hand it over to Dali Temple, I'm afraid that you won't be able to judge anything, and you will be killed."

Li Jianqing avoided his expression, bowed down and said, "It's the student's negligence."

Shen Zhitang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go!" ”

Li Jianqing looked at Shen Zhitang's back, and his heart was mixed, he was indeed selfish in this matter, and the Xiao family must die

But he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Shen Zhitang

In the palace, Li Zhilian and his party came to the gate of the abandoned palace

Liang Shan and several guards carried a gray-haired old man from the left side of the palace gate slowly

Li Zhilian looked at Zhou Cheng and asked, "This is?" ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know

Liang Shan beckoned a few other people to gently put the old man on the stool on the ground, ran to Li Zhilian's side and replied: "This is Gonggong Lu~ He entered the palace at the age of sixteen and has lived in the palace for nearly forty years, and there are no relatives outside the palace, so His Majesty authorized him to retire in the palace, and we generally ask him if we have any questions."

Li Zhilian nodded, walked to Father-in-law Lu, squatted down and asked, "Father-in-law, do you know who lives in this palace?" ”

Father-in-law Lu looked at Li Zhilian, suddenly burst into tears, struggled to fall off the stool, lay on the ground and shouted: "Slave see the queen mother~"

Liang Shan hurriedly stepped forward and helped him to the stool and explained: "This is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess~ not the queen's mother"

Gonggong Lu looked at her for a long time before he said softly: "It's the old slave who is rude!" ”

Li Zhilian smiled awkwardly: "It's okay~"

Gonggong Lu looked at the red gate that had faded, and only spoke for a long time: "You are here for Lin Zhi's girl!" ”

Li Zhilian glanced up at Zhou Cheng in surprise, and asked his father-in-law, "How does father-in-law know?" ”

Father-in-law Lu smiled and said: "Three years ago, she was taken back to the palace by His Majesty, and she came to ask me, is there any way to get inside, take care of it, and didn't say what the reason is, she and I are both old people in the palace, so I helped her."

Li Zhilian asked: "Then why is this palace sealed, does my father-in-law know?" ”

Lu Gonggong closed his eyes and replied: "I actually heard what others said, when the Gao family lived in the previous dynasty, there was a beauty surnamed Wang, called Wang Qiang, who loved white roses, that Gao Yuan gave the name Rose Palace, and sent people to plant white roses in the palace, less than a year, when the first emperor Li Meng ascended the throne, the white rose flowers in the rose palace bloomed all over the palace, and the first emperor Li Meng felt unlucky, so he sealed it."
