After finishing the matter of setting a family and choosing a house, King Ming is going back to Jiaodong.

Although Li Congxin didn't say it explicitly, Gu Huanyi sensed his reluctance.

He studied abroad when he was a child, and was imprisoned in the imperial capital when he became an adult, and if he wanted to return to the fiefdom, he could only wait for the death of King Ming and inherit the throne.

Their father and son are destined to get together less and leave more in this life, which is not easy.

Gu Huanyi comforted and said: "Next May is the first birthday of the little prince, and there will be a big banquet in the palace, and then I will ask the emperor for permission to take King Ming into Beijing." He can stay until our wedding in October, which is half a year. ”

Li Congxin understood her thoughtfulness, and said with a smile: "There are many affairs in the fiefdom, and my father is only afraid that he will not have the time to live for so long, so let's take a look when the time comes." ”

On June 15, King Ming entered the palace early to say goodbye, and then went out of the city.

Gu Huanyi accompanied Li Congxin to say goodbye.

King Ming saw the two children standing side by side, and said with emotion: "I have been worried about your lifelong affairs before, but now that you are married, my father really feels that you have grown up and can give an explanation to your mother." But your father can't teach you anything by your side, you must be loyal to the monarch in the capital, be cautious in your words and deeds, and you will soon start a family, so you must take on the responsibility of a man and take care of Miss Gu more. ”

"The son remembered the teachings of his father. My son can't be filial in front of you, please take care of your health. ”

King Ming nodded, patted his son on the shoulder, and reluctantly boarded the car and went away.

On the way back, Gu Huanyi remembered something and asked, "Previously, the prince's car fell into the lake, because of this incident, did you investigate and punish a lieutenant surnamed Tang?" ”

Li Congxin nodded and asked, "Is it someone you know?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "I don't know this captain, but his wife Shen was originally my brother's fiancée. On the day we got married, the Shen family suddenly came to me, I didn't see it, and I don't know if it was for Tang Duwei to intercede. ”

Li Congxin raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "There is still such a relationship? It's a bit of a coincidence. ”

Gu Huanyi asked, "Does the Tang family have anything to do with the Xianwang Mansion?" ”

Li Congxin said: "The four soldiers who went into the water to commit the murder are Li Chengxu's people, and they have been ascertained and are awaiting trial. But Tang Duwei did not find out the direct relationship with the Xianwang Mansion, and it is estimated that he will be punished for not being strict in his governance. The result can be lenient or strict, it all depends on the opinions of the emperor and Dali Temple, do you want to sell the favor of the Tang family? ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "I just asked, and I didn't want to interfere." ”

While the two were talking, Yang Xin, who had been transferred to Li Congxin's side on an errand, reported outside the car: "Shizi, Miss, we have met the prison car escorting Li Chengxu to exile. ”

Gu Huanyi lifted the curtain to see, a team of prison cars parked on the side of the city gate to make way for them, and the person with shackles on the prison car was Li Chengxu.

After not seeing him for months, Gu Huanyi could hardly recognize this bearded man with a depressed face, but his eyes like a vicious wolf still made Gu Huanyi shiver.

Li Congxin lowered the curtain and didn't want her to look at it.

Gu Huanyi turned his head and asked Li Congxin: "Li Chengxu was exiled and sent away, the emperor has no more to hold the Xianwang Mansion hostage, will the Xianwang be rebellious?" ”

Li Congxin said: "The emperor has issued an edict to order the Xian Wangfu to send another proton to Beijing, and see that the Xian King never obeys his orders." ”

King Xian had four sons, two of whom were concubines and two concubines.

The eldest son Li Chengxu was sent to Beijing for many years, although he held the title of the prince, but he was not close to King Xian, and King Xian's favorite was Li Chengyang, the second son of the eldest son.

Li Congxin said: "If King Xian is willing to send Li Chengyang into the capital, it is enough to show the sincerity of his loyalty, and the emperor should slow down the pursuit of King Xian at this point." But I guess King Xian will not be reluctant, and most likely will send his eldest son Li Chengwen to Beijing. ”

Gu Huanyi said: "Now that the position of the prince of the Ming Palace's palace is vacant, Li Chengwen is willing to take Li Chengyang's entry into Beijing as a hostage, and most of them also have the intention of fighting for the position of the prince, right?" ”

Li Congxin smiled and said, "Exactly, after Li Chengxu's accident, King Xian's Mansion is no longer an iron bucket." Li Chengwen, as a concubine, didn't dare to think about the throne, but the position of the prince of Xianwangfu should still want to fight. ”

There are internal contradictions in the Xianwang Mansion, and Li Congxin has a place to start.

Gu Huanyi began to look forward to Li Chengwen's arrival.

By the end of June, the weather is getting hotter by the day.

Gu Huanyi set up an ice basin at home, but he still felt that the heat was unbearable, and he couldn't help but complain to Mama Miao: "The capital is much hotter than Liangzhou, and it's not yet July. ”

Mama Miao said: "Mrs. Uncle took Miss Biao to Hengzhou for the summer, if you are not reluctant to part with the world, you can go to play together." ”

The Jiang family took Song Xiangjun to Jiang's house, saying that it was to visit relatives in the summer, but listening to Mrs. Song's meaning, she should help her with family affairs over there.

Mama Miao didn't know about Song Xiangjun, and thought she was going to be a guest.

Speaking of summer vacation, Gu Huanyi remembered that the emperor was also going to Jiulong Mountain to escape the summer, and Li Congxin had been busy preparing for this matter recently.

The emperor planned to take the queen, Concubine Zhen, Princess Miaohua and the little prince to Jiulong Mountain together, and also ordered Li Congxin and Li Hongye to accompany him, and when the time came, Gu Huanyi would be separated from Li Congxin for nearly two months.

Thinking of this, Gu Huanyi was a little unhappy.

But it is absolutely impossible for her to go on such a trip, and there is no other way.

was depressed, and Song An spread the word that Li Congxin was coming.

Gu Huanyi looked at the sun outside and got up in surprise to greet him.

After seeing Li Congxin, he asked, "Why did you go down so early today?" Aren't you busy with the summer vacation in Jiulong Mountain? ”

Li Congxin said in a low but serious voice: "You go out with me to see someone now." ”

Temporary and serious matters can be seen to be urgent.

Gu Huanyi didn't ask much, and hurriedly dressed up and went out.

When she was on the way, she asked, "Who are we going to meet?" ”

Li Congxin said: "My uncle, he made a special trip from Beiyi. ”

Hearing the word "Beiyi", Gu Huanyi immediately became excited, grabbed Li Congxin's hand and asked, "Is there any news of my brother?" ”

Li Congxin said: "I don't know yet, I came to pick you up when I heard the news." Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment. ”

The carriage soon arrived at Zidezhai, and Hu Shen, who had returned from Beiyi, was waiting for them at the door.

Gu Huanyi hurriedly walked inside, and when he arrived at the tea room, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist.

Li Congxin first hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi came all the way, are you okay?" ”

Fengxi Zhenren nodded with a smile and said, "Master and nephew are exempt, let's sit down and talk." ”

Li Congxin introduced Gu Huanyi to him again, and Gu Huanyi saluted him according to Li Congxin's title, endured his anxious mood, and let them catch up first.

Fengxi Zhenren is also a well-informed person, and he didn't say much gossip, and quickly cut to the chase.

"The person you asked me to find, I found it."

Just this sentence made Gu Huanyi's eyes red with excitement, and he held Li Congxin's hand tightly, so that he could hold back the tears that were about to fly out.
