"What did the second sister do? Did you make Your Majesty so unhappy? Hua Jieyu pretended to be stupid.

"I learned a very interesting thing." Li Yizhe lifted her chin, "Eleven corpses were fished out of the salty pond, nine of them are old, and they should have been done by Concubine Wei." Look at the things on the body should be palace maids, just check it. It's just that there are two corpses that turned out to be concubines. Concubine Wei has died over the years, and the most suspicious person in the palace is your sister. ”

"Xuanyu, she actually did such a shameless thing? My father and I were kept in the dark by her, and we didn't know it. Hua Jieyu's eyes swirled with tears, and she looked very surprised.

If it weren't for the suspicion that the previous incident between Gonggong Liu and Rue Xiang was a trap given to Ruoyan by Hua Jieyu, Li Yizhe would almost believe this woman.

"Aifei doesn't know that it's the best." Li Yizhe wiped his hands, as if he had something dirty on his hands. Hua Jieyu felt uncomfortable, and even her back stiffened.

"I don't remember the two concubines very much, and when I first reported my disappearance, I didn't care, I just thought I had eloped with which guard I had forgotten. Who knew that two bodies were found now. Li Yizhe sat down on the soft chair in Hua Jieyu's room, lifted his robe and crossed his legs, "The murder of the concubine should be the crime of the Jiu clan, I remember that there should be no deviation, right?" Grandpa Lin, what do you say? ”

"Your Majesty said yes." Gonggong Lin added at the end, "It's just that the old slave remembers that Yaergul Fengyi is a nobleman of the Nanban Hui tribe, and it will be difficult if this matter is caused by the Hui tribe." ”

"Your Majesty is so lively here, and the concubines have come to take a look."

The person who came was Feng Meiren.

Li Yizhe narrowed his eyes: "In the early years, I didn't feel that my harem was so lively, but now I find that my harem is very lively." ”

"In the early years, His Majesty concentrated on government affairs, which was the blessing of Zhou and Tang. Now His Majesty plans to come to the harem for his heirs, which is a blessing for the harem. ”

"Feng Meiren is very good at talking." Li Yizhe smiled, "It's a delicate character." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Feng Meiren blessed her body.

Hua Jieyu was being asked by Li Yizhe about the pickled things that Jiang Xuanyu had done at this time, Feng Meiren suddenly came, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Why is Sister Feng here?" ”

"The concubine's mother sent a very delicate string of gold-wrapped gardenia bells. The concubine felt that it was useless to use this object herself, but unfortunately the concubine was stupid and couldn't dance. After thinking about it, do you think it's just right to give it to Sister Jiang? Feng Meiren smiled.

"Thank you sister for your kindness." Hua Jieyu nodded, but she didn't look very happy. She was a little worried about whether Feng Meiren had heard something just now.

"Show me any delicate things." Li Yizhe asked for the string of bells and checked it in his hand, "This petal is white marble, and the reed in the middle is also a jade piece." Tsk, the calyx is also jadeite, and the fine gold filament wrapped around it is very delicately handmade. This thing also feels very precious and delicate in my eyes. ”

"It's just a little thing, how can it be as good as Your Majesty said." Feng Meiren seemed to be shy and lowered her head to cover her lips and chuckled.

"Gadgets? The price of such a string of exquisitely crafted bells is at least 100 gold. Ordinary people only spend 20 taels of silver a year, and your string of gadgets costs 500 households. Li Yizhe pulled the corner of his lips and smiled evilly.

"What did Your Majesty say, now that Your Majesty governs the country well, and the common people live a prosperous life, how can the annual expenses still be twenty taels? Every family has surplus food, and they are living a good life. Feng Meiren smiled and patted her ass. As the saying goes, a thousand wear it, and a sycophant doesn't wear it.

"A woman's opinion." Li Yizhe sneered, "How many rich people can you really see?" It takes a long day for people in remote areas to eat bran and carry a bucket of water, and they are also rich? How dare you say that after reading a few of them? It is also a great sin to deceive the Holy Hearing. ”

"Your Majesty forgives you." Feng Meiren hurriedly knelt down, "The concubine doesn't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, it is the concubine's nonsense, and I ask Your Majesty to punish her." ”

"That's it, this thing of yours is also delicate, and I think it's a bit of a waste to give Hua Jieyu an accessory for dancing. However, Hua Jieyu's dancing skills are superb, maybe she can bring me some new surprises with this string of bells. ”

"The concubine's dancing skills are mediocre, how can she be as good as Your Majesty said." Hua Jieyu smiled wryly.

"You're modest. I've been sitting for a while, and I'm still waiting. Father-in-law Lin, get up. Li Yizhe stood up to leave.

"Your Majesty is leaving?" Hua Jieyu intuitively wanted to keep Li Yizhe.

"The concubine is waiting for me to go back and bring her news, and Meng Zhaoyi fell into the water, I should also go and take a look. Don't think about dancing or bells all day long. If something happens, it's only right to care about the other sisters. It's a little human, right? The smile on Li Yizhe's face was full of coldness, full of irony.

"Inherit Your Majesty's teachings, and the concubines will send your Majesty." Hua Jieyu blessed him with a blessed body. In her heart, she hated Feng Meiren, and she was afraid that she was not watching the drama at this time, but she was also scolded by Li Yizhe.

After Li Yizhe went out, he was a little unable to open his eyes by the sun, and he asked Gonggong Lin very abruptly: "How many years have I not been to Guanyin Temple?" ”

Gonggong Lin was also stunned when he was asked, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's been three years." ”

"When do you take Ah Yan to go once, I'm afraid that the yin qi of the deceased in the palace is always bad when I fish out eleven corpses. You go and arrange it, I will take the concubine to Guanyin Temple tomorrow to pray for the blessing of the country, and tomorrow I will also call the master of Qinglong Temple and several Taoist masters of Wanshou Eight Immortals Palace to do a few days of rituals. ”

"Yes."

"The verdant ginkgo biloba leaves in summer are also a sight." Li Yizhe smiled.

"Speaking of Guanyin Temple, the old slave can remember." Gonggong Lin laughed with him, "What are you talking about when Empress Wende was seriously ill, the ginkgo tree that Emperor Taizong planted in order to pray for Empress Wende?" ”

"Yes, the affection between Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende can be described as a rare case in the emperor's family, and they are happy and respectful. When I was a child, my father also took me to see it, and I mentioned it slightly. ”

"Your Majesty is afraid that you don't know. There is a legend in the market that after the death of Empress Wende, because of her concern for Taizong and her young son Gaozong, a wisp of horror lingered, and she became a tree spirit attached to the ginkgo tree. Do you think this legend is unusual? The old slave found it very interesting. Grandpa Lin laughed.

"How do you believe in ghosts and spirits? It's just unfounded legends. Li Yizhe smiled, "But these rumors are also some good wishes of the people." ”

"Exactly. Your Majesty, don't be upset, you go to see Meng Zhaoyi, don't ask Meng Zhaoyi to persuade you in turn. Grandpa Lin quipped.

When Li Yizhe went to see Meng Zhaoyi, Mingcai only said that Meng Zhaoyi was frightened and fell asleep after drinking medicine. Li Yizhe went in to take a look, didn't dare to disturb more, and went back to Jiaofang Palace.

Ruoyan had been waiting for a long time, and she had not seen Li Yizhe come back, and she was also shocked when the people below inquired about some news. She had known that there were many pickled things in the harem, and that there might have been dead people in every well, pond, and lake, but she didn't expect that eleven corpses would be fished out of a salty pond that was not too big for ten years.

She was not lightly frightened, but fortunately, Mama Du was here, and she could still feel at ease if she coaxed her.

It's just Sister Meng? Sister Meng was scared, right? I almost made the revenant of the salty pond too.

She couldn't sit still.

After Li Yizhe arrived at Jiaofang Palace, he saw that Ruoyan's face was not very good, and he was busy asking someone to bring some snacks and tea to suppress Ruoyan's shock. He held Ruoyan's hand worriedly: "Did you inquire about those things?" ”

"Yes, how is Sister Meng now? Scared or not? Have the identities been identified? How can such a thing be? Did the murderer check it? Ruoyan asked anxiously.

"The murderers are probably Wei who died many years ago and Jiang who died not long ago. Don't be afraid, I'll take you to Guanyin Temple tomorrow to make incense, okay? I'm afraid I'll bump into you if the palace is doing something. Li Yizhe coaxed her.

Ruoyan hung his head for a long time before saying hello.

"Well, don't think about it. I'm here to do this. Li Yizhe reached out and rubbed Ruoyan's hair, "There are many things to do these days, you should take care of your body." The child is not yet three months old, so be careful. ”

"The concubine understands." Ruoyan lowered her head.

Li Yizhe noticed that Ruoyan's reaction to the child seemed to be too bland, so he asked: "Ah Yan, do you honestly tell me that you don't want this child?" ”

Ruoyan was stunned when asked: "Why did Your Majesty ask about this?" ”

"If it's ......," Li Yizhe gritted his teeth, "If you don't want it, then don't want it." We still have a long life, I won't force you. ”

Ruoyan's heart warmed for no reason when she heard this.

She knew how much Li Yizhe was looking forward to this child, and now she was willing not to want this child in order to take care of her feelings. For Li Yizhe, this is a difficult thing to give up.

She smiled slightly and comforted Li Yizhe: "It's okay, after all, he is already a part of the concubine's body, and there is no reason to say that you don't want it at this time." ”

"It's best if you think so. But you have to remember that you are my Ayan. I will not let you suffer even the slightest grievance. Li Yizhe took her hand and said softly.

"Why is Your Majesty still like a child?" Ruoyan chuckled.

Xu is a mother, Ruoyan seems to be more mature, she already has the appearance of a mother, and the smile on her face also has a little bit of the kind of love that only a mother has. The originally beautiful and compelling face seems to have softened a little. It looks more beautiful, and people can't take their eyes off it.

Li Yizhe also laughed: "Ah Yan said that I am a child, so did you prepare candy for me to eat?" I'm going to make trouble without sugar. ”

Ruoyan was made to cry and laugh by him: "The sugar from the concubine at this time, there is a dessert on the table, Your Majesty can use a little ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yizhe's lips fell on Ruoyan's lips and pecked lightly: "Is this inconvenience the sweetest sugar?" ”
