What happened in Shuyun Pavilion, Li Tai did not let Yu Yu know that Yan Wan, who had experienced an unfortunate encounter, was sent back to Yan Mansion under Ah Sheng's advice.

On the third day of the sixth month, it was the day of Princess Gaoyang's marriage, Li Tai was appointed by Li Shimin as a brother to send off a family, and assigned to investigate the details of that day, so he put this matter behind him, and didn't want to, the day after Gaoyang got married, Yan Wan, who was supposed to stay in the mansion honestly, actually found the door.

Ah Sheng hurriedly passed between the two guards guarding the door, entered the Fengling Pavilion, went up to the second floor, stood in front of the second door on the left, and reached out and knocked on the half-open door.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to report."

Li Tai was sitting under the bookcase, looking at a copy of the bamboo slips with blue slats, while listening to the two spy leaders in the east of the city report on the movements of the envoys of the big and small countries living in Beijing in the past two months, heard the knock on the door, and ignored it, until after a cup of tea, they finished reporting, then waved them down and called Ah Sheng in.

"What?"

Ah Sheng took a step forward, bowed down and said, "The matter in Shuyun Pavilion has been investigated. ”

Li Tai stopped reading and raised his head, "Say." ”

"Miss Yan went to Princess Han's Hundred Gardens that afternoon, and that long gown was changed there, and the princess did lose a piece of clothing a few days ago."

Speaking of which, the candidate who calculated Yan Wan and deliberately framed Li Tai was no longer used by him.

Li Tai lived in the palace for a long time when he was young, and saw a lot of insidious and vicious and unscrupulous women, after leaving the palace to build a mansion, there was no shortage of such women around him, because he was not strange, so he mostly ignored it, but ignoring it is not the same as connivance, for the eldest grandson Xi who dared to brush his beard three times, this time he finally announced that his patience was exhausted.

Regardless of her purpose and original intention in doing this, it was impossible for him to tolerate such an unknown woman recklessly unleashing cold arrows behind her back.

The index finger tapped on the table, and Li Tai's face sank like water, "What else?" ”

That is, the other party deliberately arranged it, and the man who forcibly took Yan Wan's innocence must not be a cat and mouse, but must be able to involve the interests of the people.

"Over there in Shuyun Pavilion, I found out that someone had booked the room next door to Tingxue House that the master had agreed with His Royal Highness the King of Han in advance, but the other party's hands and feet were clean, and there was no trace to be checked.

Ah Sheng took out a roll of papermaking and bent down and handed it to Li Tai, who roughly read the names of the people above, and after a look, he found that there were really a lot of acquaintances who went to Shuyun Pavilion that day, not to mention Li Yuanchang and Li Yuanjia, who followed him into the door, the fifth Li You, Chengyang's concubine Duhe, Cai Gong Du Ruojin, and even the crown prince, were all on it.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Tai rolled up the paper, returned it to Ah Sheng, and said, "Go and check the itinerary between the prince and Cai Gong that day." ”

"Yes."

Ah Sheng took the order, put away the list, poured a cup of tea for Li Tai, and then exited the house, and after a while, he turned back again.

"Master?"

"Huh?" Li Tai drank his tea, and asked in a nasal voice if there was anything else he hadn't said.

Ah Sheng lowered his head, "Miss Yan is asking to see you outside the hall." ”

Li Tai shook the bamboo slip, his eyes jumped to the next sentence, and he didn't raise his head, "What should I do?" ”

"The subordinates had warned her that day not to make a public announcement, and she agreed, who knows..."

He was sympathetic to Yan Wan's plight, so he didn't say a few words to her that day, thinking that Miss Yan also understood that the first disadvantage of this matter was herself, but she didn't want to be the only one who had worked for a few days, so she came over, knowing this, he might as well not be this good person.

"Send her back," Li Tai didn't think he had anything else to say to the young lady of the Yan family, he had asked everything he should ask, and it was useless to ask her if he didn't know.

“... Miss Yan said that if you refuse to see her, then she will go to the princess to confront her face to face, and she will seek justice even if she dies. ”

Looking at Li Tai's cold face, Ah Sheng's throat throbbed, and what he hated the most was the errand of passing on behalf of others.

"Bring her here." Putting down the bamboo slips, Li Tai changed his mind and wanted to meet this woman who didn't know the height of the sky.

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Wan was led by Ah Sheng from the side door of the Literature Museum into the Fengling Pavilion by a detour, and stood in front of Li Tai.

"I've seen the prince."

In just three days, Yan Wan, who was still quite plump, lost a lot of weight, a light velvet yellow shawl hung loosely on the crook of her arm, and when she bowed, she was even thinner with lightness, her eyes were printed with shallow bloodshots, and her eyes were covered with bruises left by insomnia, although her clothes and makeup were neat, it was difficult to hide her haggardness.

"Wan'er has something to say to the prince, and please retire from the idlers." Her voice was hoarse, which showed that she had not cried much in the past two days.

Ah Sheng stood behind her and rolled his eyes secretly, yes, he still coaxed and persuaded him that day, and now he will become an "idler".

Seeing that Li Tai was silent, Ah Sheng withdrew from the house with a familiar understanding, closed the door, and guarded the door.

Only she and Li Tai were left in the room, Yan Wan dared to raise her head, looked at Li Tai, and asked in a stiff tone:

"Wan'er came today just to ask the prince a word."

Li Tai was rolling the bamboo scrolls on the table at this time, and the bamboo slips collided with each other, making a "click" sound, making the room not too quiet, but his silence made Yan Wan's courage almost retract into her guts.

She lowered her head, and the hands hanging by her side quietly clenched into fists, secretly cheering herself up before she could speak again:

"What is the prince going to do with Wan'er?"

She was ready not to be ignored by Li Tai and asked again, but she didn't want Li Tai to answer her simply:

"What do you want the king to do with you?"

This was the sentence that Yan Wan expected to come up with, and it was inevitable that she would be overwhelmed by it if it was so smooth that she would be stunned for a moment, before she remembered the prepared words again, stared at her toes with her eyes, stiffened her head, and said astringently:

"That day was Wan'er's impulsiveness, so she mistakenly thought that it was the princess who framed her, and after going back, she thought carefully for a few days before she came to her senses, if the princess wanted to be unfavorable to Wan'er, she would not have rescued her when she was in the paddock three months ago, it was Wan'er who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, His Royal Highness was right, the person who designed to harm Wan'er that day would not be the princess."

With a crisp sound, Li Tai put the scrolled book on the desk, clasped his hands together, supported his chin, and his faint gaze fell on her, because she lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, she could only see her nervousness at the moment from her stiff standing posture.

"Wan'er is standing here talking to you, and she feels that she is extremely cheeky, and it is not you who will suffer this time, it is Wan'er who deserves this catastrophe. But in this way, Wan'er is not innocent, and the prince has no intention of accepting himself as a concubine. Wan'er has no name, this life is buried here, I really don't hide it from you, just yesterday, Wan'er also had the idea of suicide, but seeing her father and mother in the dark, worried about herself, how can Wan'er bear to leave them alone, the body is skinny, and the parents who receive it, Wan'er doesn't want them to be pointed out in the future, this death is light, what can you do to repay the grace of your parents? ”

Speaking of this, Yan Wan couldn't help but burst into tears, raised her head, met Li Tai's gaze, pretended to be strong and pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a sad but tenacious smile, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and lifted the hem of her skirt, and knelt down at Li Tai, with both hands on the ground.

"Bang bang bang" She kowtowed three times to Li Tai, then leaned over to the ground, very obedient, and said:

"Ask Your Highness to give Wan'er a grace, let Wan'er enter the house, Wan'er knows that the broken flowers and willows are lost, and she doesn't dare to think that you have pity for a day, and she knows that you have a deep relationship with the princess, and it is difficult for others to get involved, but ask for a place for a horn to stay, that is, to be a husband and wife in name only, so as not to destroy the hopes of her parents, and ask Your Highness to fulfill Wan'er's filial piety."

Looking at this kneeling woman, thinking of the troubles of the jade for many days, Li Tai's heart moved, the thought suddenly arose, the blue light flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at her again, his eyes unconsciously brought a trace of interest, and after a moment of hesitation, he said in a low voice:

"What if the king will not fulfill you?"

For fear of being rejected by Li Tai, Yan Wan's face turned pale, her head lowered by two inches, and she said in a little panic:

"Your Royal Highness knows that you don't want to accept a concubine, it's still the princess who is embarrassed, if Wan'er enters the door, she will definitely be able to relieve the palace, if the princess refuses, Wan'er is willing to explain to her in person, even if it is to explain Wan'er's experience to her, as long as the princess is at ease, Wan'er is willing to swear that once she enters the door of the Wei Palace, she will be safe and guard herself, and she will never dare to have a trace of delusion."

Li Tai put down his clasped hands, leaned back on his soft back, looked at her for a while, and then slowly said:

"You go back."

Yan Wan's breath stagnated, and she stumbled and asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness, have you agreed?" ”

Li Tai withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and said lazily:

"This king will consider it, and you should go back to the house and wait."

Hearing this, Yan Wan's whole body went soft, and she almost collapsed on the ground, she swallowed her throat a few times, barely supported herself, and got up from a low voice:

"Your Highness Xie, Wan'er will leave first, and I hope for Your Highness..."

Xu Shi sensed that Li Tai was lacking at the moment, and Yan Wan couldn't finish his words, so she weakened her voice, quietly raised her head, glanced at him quickly, hid the admiration and sourness in her heart, lowered her head, and retreated away.

Ah Sheng sent Yan Wan away, returned to Fengling Pavilion, stood outside the door, hesitated for a while, and then gently pushed the door in, and saw Li Tai lying on the soft couch under the window with his eyes closed, and was hesitating whether to speak, when he heard Li Tai say:

"Don't do anything, stand there and do something."

"Master," Ah Sheng touched the back of his head, "are you really going to... Miss Yan, she..."

"Huh?"

After a few words, Ah Sheng couldn't help it, and finally asked what was in his heart, "Your subordinates are saying, didn't you promise the princess not to accept concubines?" ”

"So the king said he would consider it."

In this matter, I still went home first and asked her before making plans, and if she didn't want to, she would just give up.

(Asleep, later, don't blame tt, dear)...
