However, in a moment, the news that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was pressed into the Zongren Mansion spread throughout the capital, but no one could ask the reason, only vaguely revealed that it was a loss of honor in front of the emperor.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole capital was shocked, for so many years, Emperor Qianyuan has always been generous and generous to Li Sheng, and it can even be said that he is doting, even if this is only the surface, and now that the emperor has been dormant for many years, this is finally going to take action against Li Sheng.

But why Emperor Qianyuan suddenly made a move against Li Sheng, but no one could say clearly.

Therefore, none of the political bigwigs led by Chen Ge Lao expressed their opinions, and decided to wait and see the changes in order to see the after-effects.

Li Sheng was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, and Xu Guanyi came to Su Zhan to discuss countermeasures.

This matter was too serious, Su Zhan didn't stop Su Yun, and the three of them sat in the study, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

"I have already sent someone to the Zongren Mansion to investigate, the outside of the Zongren Mansion is heavily guarded, prohibiting anyone from approaching, no news can be transmitted at all, and I don't know what happened to His Highness." Xu Guanyi said worriedly.

Su Yunlai couldn't help but think thoughtfully, "Judging from the current situation, it's just that the thunder is loud, and the rain hasn't fallen yet, how to rescue His Highness depends on the emperor's intentions." ”

"How can you not be in a hurry? His Royal Highness is trapped in the Zongren Mansion alone, and now I don't know what happened," Su Zhan wrinkled his brows and said, "Ah Wan, do you say that the emperor will ...... directly?"

Now that the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger, although he made up a reason for his violent death, Li Sheng will die.

Su Yunlai shook his head: "This shouldn't be, third brother, you forgot, the Zongren Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Prince Zhuang, and the county lord of Anning has a deep affection for His Royal Highness, with the county lord of Anning, His Royal Highness's personal safety can still be guaranteed, not to mention, the emperor only pressed His Royal Highness into the Zongren Mansion, and did not fall, in fact, it is also a temptation." ”

Xu Guanyi's eyes were involuntarily attracted to her, knowing that it was rude, but he couldn't help but fall on her face.

"Miss Su is right," Xu Guanyi said approvingly: "The first emperor is not unprepared, the respected ministers of the previous dynasty are still loyal to the former emperor, or support the will of the former emperor, the former dynasty Taishi Yun Qianyun Taishi is highly respected, is the elder of the three dynasties, is the most relied on courtiers of the former emperor, the first emperor made such an arrangement back then, I think there should be a later move." ”

Yun Qian is also a legendary figure, he has gone through two dynasties, assisted three emperors, changed the dynasty, but he is the first assistant of the dynasty that cannot be shaken, and is deeply loved by the emperor and the people.

After the death of the first emperor, Yun Qian resigned two years later because of old age, and it was Chen Ge's turn to become the first assistant of the cabinet.

Although Yun Qian has retired, the prestige he left behind is still there, and the family is also capable, he is the leader of the dynasty and the scholar clan, if he comes forward to stand up for Li Sheng, even Emperor Qianyuan will have to be a little scrupulous.

So why did Emperor Qianyuan put Li Sheng into the Zongren Mansion instead of the prison, he also wanted to test the reaction of the outside world.

"That being said, but I still can't feel at ease if I don't see His Highness for a day." Su Zhan said worriedly: "Moreover, the first emperor has been dead for so many years, will Taishi Yun really stand up for His Royal Highness?" ”

Li Sheng is fledgling, and he is completely at a disadvantage in the competition with Emperor Qianyuan, an old fox like Yun Qian, who has gone through two dynasties, will he still follow the instructions of the emperor after so many years?

Xu Guanyi also looked worried, this is indeed a problem.

Su Yunlai said: "Third brother, don't be too anxious, it's too early to say this, all we can do now is wait, and wait until the Holy Lord condemns His Highness, and then we can discuss countermeasures." ”

The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth is this reason, Li Sheng's crime determines the emperor's determination, if the thunder and rain fall, it will be forgotten, but if it is a felony of killing the head, they must also be ready to fight.

Although Su Yunlai also knew in his heart that Emperor Qianyuan suddenly attacked, it was impossible just to scare, I was afraid that he was already about to take action.

"But His Royal Highness is locked up in the Zongren Mansion, I really can't rest assured, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, His Royal Highness is delicate, and I don't know if he can stand it, not to mention that Prince Zhuang is confused and ridiculous, and he is His Majesty's younger brother, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect His Highness." Su Zhan said worriedly.

Su Yunlai thought about it for a while, and then said, "If you are not at ease, then rescue His Highness first." ”

After Su Yun finished speaking, he looked at Su Zhan, then at Xu Guanyi, and finally at Xu Guanyi: "I still have to ask Gongzi Xu for help in this matter." ”

"Miss Su doesn't have to be polite, it's all for His Royal Highness, if Miss has any orders, please say it directly." Xu Guanyi hurriedly said.

Su Yunlai sighed slightly, all in order to save Li Sheng, she also had to use some extraordinary means.

It was freezing cold, there had just been another snowfall, and there was thick ice on the ground, Xu Guanyi had been guarding outside the Zongren Mansion for two hours, he was wearing thick cotton clothes and cotton boots, and he was wearing a rabbit fur cloak, but it was difficult to resist the wind and cold.

He gathered the cloak on his body with some pity, which was prepared for him by Su Yunlai, even if it was just Su Zhan's old things, he still cherished it very much.

A carriage slowly drove over and entered the Zongren Mansion, and Xu Guan's eyes fell on the sign on the carriage, and he knew a little in his heart that this was probably the person he was waiting for.

It was another hour before the carriage came out again.

Xu Guanyi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, his knees slammed on the cold and hard ground, and he felt a pain even through his clothes.

"The villain is a guest of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, please let the villain see His Royal Highness!" As he spoke, Xu Guanyi kowtowed heavily.

"Stop." A female voice came from inside.

The county lord of Anning lifted the curtain, and there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting in the car, with a melon seed face, big eyes, delicate and beautiful appearance, and a heroic pride between her eyebrows.

"You said you were the person next to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?" The county lord of An Ning asked coldly.

Xu Guan was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect it to be the county lord, it was a villain who was rude." ”

"You know me?" The county lord of An Ning asked.

Xu Guanyi lowered his head: "The villain heard His Royal Highness the eldest grandson say that the county lord." ”

The county lord of Anning was stunned, but he was a little stunned: "He, he told you that I ......" couldn't help but feel a little astringent in his heart.

"County Lord, how is my Royal Highness? The weather has been cold recently, and I don't know if he is used to it in the Zongren Mansion, but is it freezing? He is not in good health, and the villain is really worried. Xu Guanyi said anxiously: "It's just that the villain is soft-spoken, and he can't see His Royal Highness, so he begged the county lord to tell him." ”

Seeing that his face was anxious and sincere, not a lie, the county lord of An Ning had a better impression of Xu Guanyi, "You can rest assured of this, the county lord has already sent someone to take care of His Royal Highness, but it's just ......"

"Alas, my Royal Highness is that character, he can't rub sand in his eyes, he was locked up this time, I'm afraid that his heart is depressed, and the villain is really afraid that he will be sick." Xu Guanyi said worriedly: "His Royal Highness lost his father and mother, he is already miserable, His Royal Highness often says that in addition to Princess Wuyang, only the Queen Mother is dedicated to him, and now he is in a cage, and the villain doesn't know how to explain to Princess Wuyang!" ”

When the county lord of An Ning heard his words, his eyes lit up, and he swore and said: "Don't worry, this county lord will definitely rescue your Royal Highness, you go back first, and prepare to welcome Your Highness home." ”

After the county lord of An Ning finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Xu Guanyi stood up from the ground, looked at the back of the carriage leaving, and a smile hooked up on the corner of his mouth.

The next day, Li Sheng was released from the Zongren Mansion, not as a release, but let him go back to the Changsun Mansion to think about it behind closed doors and wait for disposal.

It is said that it was the lord of Anning who begged the Empress Dowager to intercede with Emperor Qianyuan, and Emperor Qianyuan opened the net.

However, in just a few days, Li Sheng lost a lot of weight, and his originally thin and handsome face became thinner and thinner, so Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi took him back to Changsun Mansion together.

Although Li Sheng came out, his spirit was a little bad, and after some freshening, Li Sheng was half-lying on the bed.

Su Zhan hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Your Highness, don't blame me for being anxious, it's just that what happened that day, how could Your Majesty ......?"

Li Sheng's eyes changed, and he was a little awe-inspiring, he didn't answer this question, but asked, "It must have taken a lot of trouble for you to rescue me this time, right?" ”

Su Zhan didn't speak, but Xu Guan: "Thanks to Miss Su's clever plan, the county lord of Anning asked the queen mother to come forward, and then he rescued His Highness!" ”

When Li Sheng heard Su Yunlai's name, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, this was the first time that his eyes had a glow since he came out of the Zongren Mansion.

Xu Guanyi saw his expression in his eyes, and his heart moved, could it be that His Royal Highness was also ...... to her

That expression was all too familiar to him, because it was the one he had every time he thought of her.

Xu Guanyi's heart was a little heavy.

Su Zhan didn't worry so much, after all, he had seen a lot, he just said: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened to make Your Highness so difficult to speak, but the sister said that only when we know what happened between Your Highness and the Holy Lord, we can come up with countermeasures to deal with it," After a pause, he said with some injury: "Since I have followed His Highness, I must put His Highness's safety first." ”

Li Sheng shook his head with a smile: "Ah Zhan, how could I not trust you, it's just ......" A trace of embarrassment flashed on his face: "This matter is really a long story, this time, I am in someone else's way." ”

Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi glanced at each other: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

"Do you know His Majesty's favorite concubine Wan Niangniang?" Li Sheng asked with a hint of forbearance on his face.

"The saint received the order, entered the palace to meet the saint, but did not see the saint, he was waiting for His Majesty in the side hall, suddenly lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he found that he was in the same room with Wan Concubine Niangniang, and Wan Concubine Niangniang was still disheveled." Su Zhan said to Su Yun.

"You should be able to guess the next loss, the emperor happened to come over at this time, and when he saw the situation of the two, he was furious, and pressed His Royal Highness into the Zongren Mansion." Su Zhan continued, pausing, "Ah Wan, is there any way to do this?" ”

Cheating with the emperor's concubine, and being known by the emperor, no matter how you look at it, this matter is unsolvable.

After listening to this, Su Yunlai realized that it was no wonder that the emperor didn't make a big deal before, and he was cuckolding himself together.

"How?" The corners of Su Yunlai's mouth showed a sneering smile: "Your Majesty has already made a conclusion on his coffin, can you still tolerate His Highness to find a way to get rid of his guilt?" ”

Su Zhan was stunned, and then understood, if this matter came out from the beginning, although it was not very glorious, but Li Sheng could still ask for a thorough investigation, the matter happened in the palace, there are always clues to follow, but the emperor kept it secret, it seemed that he was defending Li Sheng, but in fact, he made a conclusion about this matter.

If he doesn't check, others will decide that Li Sheng does have an unclear relationship with Wan Concubine, and then the victim will become the emperor.

adulterous with concubines, Li Sheng has no place to turn over this time.

"Your Highness himself is beyond reproach, so Your Majesty can only start from somewhere else," Su Yunlai continued, "Your Majesty's hand is really clever!" ”

It can be seen from this that Emperor Qianyuan's methods, from the very beginning of announcing Li Sheng's entry into the palace, and then to the accident, they were caught off guard.

It was also Emperor Qianyuan who was too well disguised before, and Li Sheng was defenseless against him, so he was so flustered when something happened.

Su Zhan frowned: "Ah Wan, how can we be good now, although His Royal Highness is back, but he has thought about it behind closed doors, now there are still heavy troops guarding outside the Changsun Mansion, and now I don't know if the major general has gotten the news, I am worried that the war at the border pass will distract General Gu." ”

This is indeed a trouble, but when it comes to the Gu family, Su Yunlai's heart moved, "I'll write a letter, third brother, you help me send it to the major general, remember, you must not let anyone find out." ”

Su Zhan saw that she had a straight face, so she nodded: "Don't worry, I'll arrange it myself." ”

Su Yunlai quickly wrote a letter, handed it to Su Zhan, and then said: "There is also this letter for His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, I have thought of a way, but I still need his cooperation." In addition, third brother, you go and inquire, what happened to the Wan concubine Niangniang, she is one of the parties, and it is on her to clear the charge of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and now that the situation is not favorable to us, we can only be more cautious. ”

Su Zhan responded solemnly, "I'll deliver the letter first, don't worry, I'll inform you as soon as there is news." ”

Su Yunlai hurriedly said: "Third brother, don't be in a hurry at this time, you have just gotten married, and you have been busy for so many days, you go to meet the third sister-in-law first, she is also worried about you." ”

Su Zhan nodded: "I was going to see her too." ”

Su Zhan returned to his yard, and saw the silhouette of a woman on the curtain, his heart warmed, now that he has a bond, and there are people waiting for him at home, even if he is tired and hard, he feels that it is worth it.

Qi Shuying was looking at medical skills, practicing acupuncture with wooden figures, and when she saw Su Zhan coming back, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stepped forward to ...... He took his wrist.

"Well, there's a little emptiness inside, it should be that I'm too tired these days, I'll prescribe a prescription, you can eat and then go and get busy." Qi Shuying said seriously.

Su Zhan couldn't help laughing, Qi Shuying really wanted him to live a long life.

The maid brought the medicine, and Qi Shuying personally stared at him and drank it, so he was satisfied.

"I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I've ignored you." Su Zhan said apologetically.

The proud and awkward Su San Gongzi finally lowered his proud head and learned to apologize.

Qi Shuying smiled slightly: "I know you are doing something very important, I am proud of you, and I won't blame you." ”

Su Zhan's eyes fell on her face, and she suddenly felt that her vision was so good, she only felt that there was no better lady than her in the whole capital.

"Third Young Master, Gongzi Xu is here." The maid outside the door stubbornly interrupted the affectionate gaze of the third young master and the third young grandmother.

"I see, here it is."

Qi Shuying hurriedly said, "Hey, you add more clothes." ”

There was a little maid next to her, and she cleverly went to get a cloak: "The slave maid serves the third young master." ”

The atmosphere in the room froze, Su Zhan didn't notice it, took the cloak casually, and said to Qi Shuying: "I'll go first, you rest early, don't wait for me." ”

Su Zhan hurriedly walked out.

Li Sheng fell ill on the day he returned to Changsun Mansion, and announced that the imperial doctor went to Changsun Mansion, saying that Li Sheng was extremely ill and almost ordered someone to prepare for the future.

Emperor Qianyuan's heart moved when he got the news, this is a good opportunity, the people in the Tai Hospital will not misdiagnose, and Li Sheng will not hide it from all the people in the Tai Hospital.

The people from the Tai Hospital saved him for several days, Li Sheng did not improve in the slightest, Princess Wuyang rushed back from the border pass, and as soon as she came back, she drove the people from the Tai Hospital out and invited Qi Shuying to treat His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

However, he was stopped by Mrs. Su.

Qi Shuying carried the medicine box and returned to Mrs. Su to go out.

Mrs. Su looked indifferent: "Since you have married into the Su family, you are the young grandmother of the Su family, you should abide by the way of women, teach your husband and children, give birth to children for Zhan'er, and take care of the backyard, this is the duty of a woman, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has a noble status, and the old men of his own hospital treat him, and it is not your turn to be a little woman, go back." ”

Li Sheng is the biggest opponent of the four princes, and it is naturally impossible for Mrs. Su to let Qi Shuying save him.

The maid beside Qi Shuying is the dowry maid sent by the Gu family, named Lancao, at this time Lancao said: "Back to the old lady's words, the third young grandmother was ordered by Princess Wuyang to diagnose Her Royal Highness the eldest grandson, if you don't go, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Mrs. Su, who had always wanted to be the princess of Bajie Wuyang, was unmoved: "Even Her Royal Highness the princess can't force the daughter-in-law of a serious family to diagnose a man's reason, if Her Royal Highness the princess asks for the guilt, the old man will bear it alone!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Qi Shuying, her eyes were gloomy and sharp: "You go back to the room for me, if you let me know that you have lost the reputation of our Su family outside, the Su family will not be able to tolerate you!" ”

Qi Shuying was about to sneer at each other, but Lan Cao pulled her sleeve, she owed a debt, and left Lingyun Courtyard with a stupid face.

As soon as she got out of Lingyun Courtyard, Lan Cao said: "The third young grandmother went to the side door with the slave maid, and the seventh lady has already arranged the carriage. ”

Qi Shuying: "...... Ah Late? ”

Lancao nodded, and Qi Shuying couldn't help but smile: "I knew that Ah Wan would definitely have a way." ”

The news of Qi Shuying's departure from Su Mansion was soon known by Mrs. Su, and she called Chen over and reprimanded her.

Chen's attitude towards Mrs. Su is very good, she listens to her scolding, and her attitude of admitting mistakes is good, but she is not very careful.

Old Mrs. Su sneered in her heart, "Mama Xu, our Su family's family law has not been taken out for several days, it's time to invite the family law out, so as not to make them think that our Su family's family law is just a decoration!" ”

Mama Xu responded respectfully.

Chen was a little anxious, and Su Yunlai looked at them indifferently, as if he was looking at a group of clowns jumping off the beam.

Li Sheng finally woke up, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to have a carriage prepare for the palace to face the saint.

Xu Guanyi and Su Zhan knelt in front of the bed and asked him to take care of his body, but Li Sheng insisted on going his own way, and in the end, Xu Guanyi had someone to carry him into the carriage.

Outside the Changsun Mansion was guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and when they saw Li Sheng coming out, they immediately stopped him.

Li Sheng said weakly: "His Royal Highness wants to enter the palace to face the saint, if you are not at ease, you can follow His Highness to go together, but today's door, His Royal Highness will definitely come out, if you want to stop it, you can only stop the body of His Highness!" ”

The royal guards looked at each other, and they couldn't afford the charge of forcing His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to death, so they had to follow behind the carriage.

Along the way, he swaggered through the market, not like a guard, but like a guard.

Li Sheng did not enter the palace, but first went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and voice grievances, Dali Temple Qing felt bitter, but His Royal Highness the eldest grandson came to complain in person, and he didn't want to see him at all.

Li Sheng's face was pale, he had been sick for a long time, his body was weak, and he was holding Xu Guanyi's hand and standing outside the Dali Temple.

Dali Temple could not afford to force His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to death, so it had to accept his complaint.

Li Sheng didn't get entangled, he got into the carriage and went straight to the palace, so tossed, his face seemed to be even paler, and in the end, the guards almost carried him out of the car.

Li Sheng got out of the car and knelt at the gate of the palace, with a resolute expression: "I, Li Sheng, the eldest grandson of the Li family, have abided by my duty all my life, and have never exceeded the rules by half a cent, but now I have been wronged and wronged to have an affair with the holy concubine, and my nephew will never be able to do such a thing as a pig and a dog, and I don't care about human ethics. ”

Even though Li Sheng was weak, he straightened his back, like a green bamboo, rather straight and unyielding, his voice was crisp and loud, even if he was talking about his grievances, he was still neither humble nor arrogant.

For some people, their pride is engraved in their bones, and nothing can overwhelm them.

Xu Guanyi and Su Zhan glanced at each other, but they didn't persuade, but walked up and knelt behind Li Sheng.

The people outside the palace gate had stopped since Li Sheng appeared, trying to figure out what was going on, and when they heard Li Sheng's words, they all talked about it, but more and more people gathered.

When Emperor Qianyuan heard what was happening outside the palace, he was so angry that he trembled and coughed violently, Zhao Gonggong hurriedly patted him on the back, he took the medicine, and his face was still red.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going to invite Miss Qi!" Zhao Gonggong persuaded with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body!" ”

After a long time, Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "It's okay." ”

After waiting for a while, he regained his composure, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally revealed a trace of heroic helplessness on his majestic face.

"Go, go and invite him in." Emperor Qianyuan said tiredly.
