Chapter 188: Knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns

The spring rain is cloudy and dusty, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

The misty drizzle was like cow hair, like flower needles, like filaments, densely woven diagonally, and layers of thin smoke were shrouded in layers on the roof of Zhan Yan'er in the entire Jinjing City.

The sunset was obscured by dark clouds and could not show its last brilliance, so I had to leave gloomily, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.

Zhou Minhao came out of the household department and did not return to the palace, but directly took Xiao Cuizi back to the other courtyard.

Xiao Jinzi is in the palace, it can be regarded as shining, his ability and ability are all impressive, if Liu Yunyun still doesn't know what has happened in the past few days? Then she is not Liu Yunyun anymore!

After careful calculation, it has been a month since the two last met......

Zhou Minhao was happy in his heart, hum! This time, I have to wait for her to come to me, and I must calm down!

Zhou Minhao is riding on a horse, even if it is raining, although the rain is not heavy, right? But he still hooked the corners of his mouth all the way, this disobedient expression made Xiao Cuizi almost fall off the horse, the second highness has been abnormal since he met the second miss of the Liu family, and the more he goes, the more abnormal it becomes, and now he is in danger of going insane.

Off one's head? β€”β€”This word came from the palace, and of course the originator of the original idea was the little gold god.

Yes, Great God! Xiao Jinzi is now in the palace, and he is already a god-level figure, which is even more magical than the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital! Big shot!

**************************************

Liu Yunyun sent Liu Dalang away, and walked back and forth in the room with a frown, Xiao Jinzi's performance this time was really good, and it was also expected by himself, but ...... That's a bit too famous, isn't it?

According to common sense, if something like this happens to the concubines in the palace, they have to cover it up and cover it up no matter what......

A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Yunyun's mind, but no matter how she grabbed it, she couldn't catch it.

What's the problem?

Picking up an old small purse embroidered with the word "plum" on the hollow bookshelf standing against the wall, Liu Yunyun took a closer look, took a deep breath, and stabilized her mind.

It will be fine, if the emperor wants the life of the Liu family, there is no need to spend so much time, and ...... There is also Concubine Min.

Although it is still unknown what the relationship between Concubine Min and her grandfather is, it is an indisputable fact that Concubine Min secretly helps the Liu family.

Well! With Concubine Min's help, there won't be a big deal!

The fact that the eldest grandfather's "rebellion" did not involve the Liu family in Jinjing City is the best proof!

And......

Liu Yunyun put down her purse and laughed, with Zhou Minhao's temperament, if she really has any bad premonitions, she will let people inform her in advance, but now, there is no news, which shows that Xiao Jin is fine, and the Liu family is naturally fine!

After figuring it out, Liu Yunyun took Huanhuan to Tingyuan and had dinner with Liu Tingting, there were still a lot of things in her shop, and she needed to discuss it with her family.

Due to Xiao Jinzi's treatment, Xiao Li Meiren's condition has improved a lot now, although her mental condition cannot be compared with ordinary people, but compared with her own original condition, it has improved more than a little.

After Concubine Wu Niangniang retreated from the high fever, she asked the prince Zhou Minchang every day to invite a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts.

The crown prince Zhou Minchang was exhausted by Concubine Wu's instructions, orders, and reprimands every day, and General Wu learned of his daughter's illness, and was even more suspicious of Xiao Li Meiren's father, Dongge University Scholar, the two of them actually had a very close relationship before, General Wu was in Wu, and Master Li was in Wen, but because of this matter, there was no possibility of making up for the gap between the two.

Who can live without an eyeliner in the palace? Master Li is no exception!

Knowing the situation of Xiao Li Meiren in the palace, and the cause of death of the four princes seems to be strange, Li Da is so popular that he can't wait to directly fold the bullet to impeach the atrocity of Concubine Wu!

It's just hateful, many years have passed since the incident, and there is no evidence of it, either in her daughter or in her own hands!

Thinking of his cute and smart grandson, Lord Li's heart is even more sour, what have he been doing for so many years? Even the grandfather who is not well protected by his grandson, what qualifications does he have to mix in the court?

Thinking of this, Master Li was shocked!

Emperor? …… Could it be that the emperor is hinting at something?

Concubine Xian was demoted to a military concubine, but General Wu still has an official position and military power, which means that the status of the prince is still unshakable, but why does his daughter have no expression when she is so wronged? Not even a little comforting reward?

Li Daren carefully pondered the dirty things he knew or participated in, but none of them had anything to do with the country and the royal people?

What is the emperor dissatisfied with himself? What the hell should I do?

Mr. Mu, Lord Li's staff, looked at Lord Li and was puzzled, thought for a while, and still boldly whispered: "My lord, why don't you go to the Third Highness to discuss?" ”

"Looking for the Third Highness? Isn't that equivalent to finding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly? That doesn't mean that I directly found Concubine Wu's cheap ......" Master Li said angrily, but he didn't dare to insult the palace concubine, so he had to flick his sleeves, pat the table, and said, "Hmph! Doesn't that mean that I should bow my head with Wu Dali? Why? Lao Tzu is also an important minister of the second grade of the official residence, why bow his head to him? My grandson ......! Speaking of the back, Master Li was even more grief-stricken.

Mr. Mu also sighed, "However, if you don't look for the Third Highness, I'm afraid that what you say, it will be difficult for the heavens to hear it." ”

Master Li wrinkled his brows, thought for a moment, squinted his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'm going to find the Second Highness, you go and help me inquire, where is the Second Highness now?" ”

Mr. Mu was puzzled, but he also obeyed Master Li's instructions, and hurriedly gave a slight salute, and hurriedly withdrew from the study and went out to inquire about Zhou Minhao's whereabouts.

Seeing that Mr. Mu retreated and turned around and walked out of the moon gate of the courtyard, Lord Li closed the window and took out a copy of the ciphertext that he had kept an eye on back then and deliberately copied from the Foundry Department of the Ministry of War, but he really didn't know the authenticity of it.

If the guests don't come in the middle of the night, they knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns.

Zhou Minhao returned to the courtyard, had dinner in an orderly manner, and took a comfortable bath soup. If you have one, you can bring the hot spring water to the other courtyard and build a larger hot spring bath, so that if you are tired, you can soak in the hot spring to relieve the fatigue of the whole body.

The action-oriented Zhou Minhao really sent people to the back mountain to find two springs, both of which attracted other courtyards, and the work of building the bath began a year ago, which was just the beginning of the construction, and Zhou Minhao couldn't wait to enter the new bath to try it out.

It is said that soaking in hot springs can not only relieve fatigue and fatigue, but also have certain medicinal effects, but this medicinal use, you have to wait for the second lady of the Liu family to come, and then guide one or two. - These are the exact words of Komei, who was in charge of building the bath.

Zhou Minhao was wearing a white homely clothes, sitting in the inner study, thinking of Jia Ming's words, he felt that his knowledge was really too little compared to Liu Yunyun. Almost all of his life's energy was spent learning how to govern the country, how to grow the country's economy, and how to subdue the neighboring neighbors who were about to move, so he really didn't understand anything about health, enjoyment, and fun.

"Second Highness, Lord Li has come out of the city from the city gate with a staff member." Otoyama stood outside the study, bowed, and reported solemnly.

Zhou Minhao flicked his fingers and flicked the blue leather fold on the table, and chuckled, there is a way that the guests who have made an appointment do not come in the middle of the night, but this is not an appointment, but it will arrive before three o'clock in the morning......

"Well, you prepare the outer study, and if he really comes to the main hall, then see you in the outer study."

Zhou Minhao looked down at his clothes, the concept of "home clothes" is really good, after soaking in the hot springs, wearing these soft clothes, it is really comfortable, alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity, this leisurely day is getting farther and farther away from me......

At three o'clock, Master Li really brought a few souvenirs to the second prince Zhou Minhao's courtyard, to meet His Royal Highness the second prince.

Zhou Minhao warmly received Master Li and his staff Mr. Mu, and politely and thoughtfully invited the two into the outer study.

After a few people sat down, Zhou Minhao didn't ask them why they came so late, but let the two of them drink tea very politely, chatting about how rare this tea is for a while, and talking about the silver of this household for a while, spending money like running water, only the bitter Lord Li couldn't interject.

Mr. Mu looked at Zhou Minhao's face, his mind moved, and he took advantage of a small gap to interject not very politely: "Second Highness, the little one...... Excuse me, ...... the locker room? ”

Zhou Minhao raised his eyebrows, but he still politely instructed Jia Ming to take Mr. Mu to the locker room first to solve domestic needs.

Master Li was impolitely interjected by Mr. Mu, and his face was a little embarrassed, but when he heard Mr. Mu's excuse, he seemed to suddenly open his mind, and there was a smile on his face, and his mood was clear, and he was also in the mood to pick up the teacup slowly and drink tea.

Jia Ming politely turned sideways, let Mr. Mu out of the outer study, closed the door with his hand, and gestured to Yishan, who was standing outside listening to his orders, and then with a decent smile, he took Mr. Mu to find the farthest dressing room.

"Master Li, I don't know if you're so late and you're looking for this hall, but what's the matter?"

Zhou Minhao finally asked.

Lord Li was relieved, since His Royal Highness was able to ask, it would prove that he would not stand idly by, and that's good!

"Second Highness, I think you have also heard about the affairs of the palace, the daughter of the old minister...... Alas...... Please forgive the old minister, no matter whether her position is high or low, she is the daughter of the old minister, although the old minister does not say how dedicated, but in the end it is also for our Great Zhou Dynasty, for the emperor, hard work, the old minister does not want to, and does not bear his daughter to be so wronged, but there is nowhere to argue, no one can say, and the poor grandson of the old minister...... "Lord Li couldn't bear it, the more he said, the more aggrieved, he really shed tears, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, wiped his tears, raised his head, and looked at his back straight, Zhou Minhao, who was sitting behind the bookcase, continued: "Since the old minister heard that my poor daughter was hit like this, he has been very worried in his heart, and he wants to enter the palace to see her, but he doesn't know what to say when he meets......

Zhou Minhao sighed, and waited for Lord Li to ease his emotions before saying: "This matter, the father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have ordered a new investigation, the fourth child is your grandson, it can be the son of the father, the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the younger brother of the palace, you don't have to worry too much, if Xiao Li's mother and concubine are wronged, the father will definitely give her justice, no matter what, the fourth child will not be wronged." ”

Zhou Minhao's words are not leaky, which not only understands human favors, but also does not discredit the royal family.

Master Li was ruthless, subconsciously turned his head and glanced out of the door, seeing that the door was tightly closed, and there was no sound outside, his heart jumped, but he didn't expect that the guards of the Second Highness had reached such a realm.

He took out the copy booklet from his arms, stood up, walked to the bookcase, handed it to Zhou Minhao with both hands, looked at him and said: "Second Highness, this is the secret text copied from the casting department of the Ministry of War when the old minister first sent the military department into the East Pavilion six years ago...... Ahem...... This matter is because it is not clear, so the old minister did not present it to the emperor, because he was afraid that something would be wrong and he would frame someone else. ”

Zhou Minhao raised his eyelids and looked at Master Li, but he didn't take the booklet or speak.

After staring at each other for a while, Master Li finally tore up his bottom line, puffed up a breath to himself, and then whispered: "This is the weapon used by General Wu and General Zhenguo in the military department and the cash silver that was withdrawn. ”

Zhou Minhao stretched out his hand to take the booklet and flipped through the two pages, the content was even more detailed than the booklet that he had verified for many years and put in Master Tzuyun of Huguo Temple.

"What do you want?" Zhou Minhao closed the booklet, looked at Master Li, his eyes were sharp, and asked seriously.

"Second Highness Mingjian! Lao Chen doesn't want anything, Lao Chen just wants his daughter to be well, and his grandson can be avenged. Master Li took two steps back, lifted his robe on the spot, knelt down, kowtowed his head with a "bang", and straightened his waist, "The old minister is this age, and he also has self-knowledge, the son of the family does not grow up, and he does not have the ability to dance and write, and he has no talent, the wish of the old minister is that the family is happy and safe, the son has an errand, he does not study badly, the daughter is safe and sound in the palace, and the accident of the grandson can tell a truth, and the rest of the wish is enough." ”

"Good! The main hall promises you! Zhou Minhao stood up, turned out from behind the bookcase, helped Master Li up, looked into his eyes, and reassured.

Lord Li has been in the court for many years, so he naturally understands the personality of His Royal Highness, this is a master who can definitely do it if he says it, but what he didn't expect is that today's seemingly risky and bold move will make him have a lot less thorns and more smoothness in the days to come.

The two talked about some details, and Mr. Mu, who had been dressing for most of the day, returned belatedly, and Lord Li respectfully took Mr. Mu and the second prince Zhou Minhao to say goodbye and return to the city, and Zhou Minhao carefully asked Jia Ming to escort the two, because at this time, the city gate had already been closed, and no one could knock on the city gate without his waist card.

After sending off Master Li and Mr. Mu, Zhou Minhao returned to the outer study, read the booklet in full and detail, and asked Yishan six times by the way, and the reply was that the second lady of the Liu family did not send anyone to the other courtyard.

Zhou Minhao endured it, endured it again, and finally hammered a fist on the table angrily, this woman was so careless! It's a loss to think about her in my heart! She didn't miss herself at all!

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and a little sad, Zhou Minhao once again carried out his will.

"Let's go, go to Liufu!"

Otoyama's eyes widened, and his mouth opened into a 0 shape.

"Don't hurry yet!" Seeing him like this, Zhou Minhao seemed to be a fool in his eyes, so he was angry and scolded angrily.

Yishan nodded hurriedly, ran to the left, raised his eyes and saw that the direction was wrong, and quickly turned around and ran downstairs towards the stairs of Qingsongju.

At this time, if you want to go back to the city, you have to be quiet, you can't alarm anyone, it's a headache to think about, but that's the master, no matter how bad they are, they have to carry out his orders.

Ying Yi took two groups of shadow guards, Yishan set up the horse, Xiao Cuizi naturally stayed in the other courtyard, in case of emergency, Xiao Cuizi was also annoyed Liu Yunyun in her heart, this second miss of the Liu family, how can she be so good at tossing people, look at the second highness, she has been tossed by her and does not grow meat.

Liu Yunyun has already fallen asleep, today is Xiao Duo'er on duty at night, Liu Yunyun is not used to letting the little girl sleep at her feet, and she can't bear it, you know, even if the master turns over and says a dream word, maybe you have to make these girls worry that the master has orders, so how can they sleep well? If you don't sleep well, you won't grow taller, and tall people, both men and women, should look better. She Liu Yunyun can't bear the notoriety of making people not tall and beautiful.
