CHAPTER XXVII

As soon as the breeze blew and the pear blossoms fell, since Ming Wei left, Li Xinghe decided to live up to this good spring and squinted on the recliner for a while with the sun. Seeing Li Xinghe like this, Mu Yaoyao also learned in a good way.

After Li Chengde came back from the study room, he saw the two of them lying lazily on the recliner, the breeze blowing off the pear blossoms, the two of them seemed to be covered by pear blossoms, quietly lowering their eyes, like fairies who do not eat fireworks in the world.

Just as Li Chengde walked in, Mu Yaoyao smashed his mouth and muttered about how delicious the green dates were.

Li Chengde couldn't help but laugh, but he woke up the two, and the pear blossoms covering the two of them also fell one after another as if frightened.

Mu Yaoyao's sleepy eyes are hazy, her cheeks are pink, like a blooming peach blossom, whose heart is confused?

Li Chengde only felt that his heart was beating faster, but he didn't know why, in order to hide his embarrassment, he could only use Li Xinghe to open a topic, Li Chengde walked in front of Li Xinghe, and said,

"A few days ago, my father sent me to investigate the case of gold Buddha gilding, and the results have been obtained, it was Li Chengren who sent someone to plate it with gold instead of pure gold, if this matter is truthfully reported to his father, Li Chengren will be punished."

When Li Xinghe heard that it was Li Chengren's business, he instantly sobered up, shook his head lightly, carefully sorted out the emperor's attitude towards Li Chengren, and said after a while,

"Even if this matter is stabbed to my father's side, Li Chengren's power will not be shaken by half a point, and you will receive retaliation from Li Chengren's faction for this matter."

Li Xinghe thought about it for a long time before deciding to tell Li Chengde about his suspicions, I hope he can accept it, and continued,

"In any case, my father will not give up Li Chengren, and helping you to take the throne is just to use you to balance the power of the Xiao family in the court, so in the end, this can only be a dead end."

Li Xinghe closed his eyes and sighed, being in the royal family, the position of the prince is a thorny road, which emperor can only take the throne without stepping on the white bones, but Li Chengde doesn't even have the opportunity to compete for the prince.

Even if Li Chengren was deposed, it was just a move by the emperor, including Empress Xiao's self-confinement, and he was afraid that he had reached some kind of agreement with the emperor.

There is no solution to this question, and when the time comes, the Chongming Hall will just be a stepping stone for Li Chengren.

No, she would never allow this to happen, even if there was an extremely small probability, she would have to fight. Xianghe can't die in vain, and she won't let the people around her repeat the mistakes of the past.

His nails were tightly buckled on the recliner, and his fingers were white, but he was still unwilling. Even if you are born like an ant, you should have the courage to shake the tree.

Mu Yaoyao on the side also felt that something was wrong with Li Xinghe, and hurriedly held Li Xinghe's hand, his expression full of worry.

Li Xinghe let go of his clenched hands, and then patted Mu Yaoyao's shoulder again, signaling that she was okay.

Li Chengde twisted the pear blossoms that fell on the ground, blew the dust, and said with a wry smile,

"I have known these for a long time, whether it is in the previous dynasty or in the Shang study, my father's partiality is always obvious, I can't ignore it if I want to, but so what? In life, choosing a path, not giving in, not changing, and going all the way to the end is also a blessing for people. In that case, then I'm going to grab it, we have no way out, sister. ”

Mu Yaoyao is just a little distressed by the young man in front of him, obviously his heart is as pure as a pear blossom, but in the royal family, he has to be stained with blood, and he can't wash it off in the future, but will the pear blossom mixed with blood be as pure as ever?

"I know, but at the moment it is the most important thing to obtain the Nine Turns Back to Qing Dan, you first prepare a new copy of the file of the Golden Buddha Gold Plating Case, and then hand over the original one to me, and it is also time to meet that Empress Xiao."

Li Xinghe thought about saving the country with a curve, and took advantage of this matter to reach a deal with Queen Xiao, which can be regarded as maximizing the benefits.

When night falls, everything is quiet, and the breeze blows through every corner of the palace, leaving only the sound of leaves rustling.

Li Xinghe wore a dark cloak, held the dossier, and carried the warm yellow palace lamp, and went to the Changfeng Hall alone at night.

In the Changfeng Palace, Xiao Ruyan had just finished the evening class, so he planned to wash and rest, and as soon as he got up, he heard a knock on the door outside the palace. Surprised, he still called Citrus to inspect, and after a while, Citrus brought people to Xiao Ruyan.

Seeing that it was Li Xinghe, Xiao Ruyan was a little surprised, sat on the main seat and took a sip of tea before speaking,

"The eldest princess in the middle of the night didn't stay in her Chongming Palace, but ran to the Changfeng Hall of the main palace and violated the curfew, aren't you afraid that the palace will punish you?"

After speaking, Xiao Ruyan raised her thin eyebrows and looked at Li Xinghe's reaction with sideways eyes.

Li Xinghe handed the dossier to the citrus beside him, and then smiled, not afraid of the majesty of the queen, and said calmly,

"The queen mother should read this file first, and then consider whether to cure the sins of Xinghe."

It's really different, the eldest princess who used to be submissive in front of her is now fearless.

She should have been more vigilant when Mulan was hunting, but unfortunately it was still a bad move, Xiao Ruyan thought to herself, but she still took the file presented by Citrus Shi.

Xiao Ruyan lowered his head and took a closer look, the golden Buddha was gilded and shoddy, this is the crime of deceiving the king. How could Chengren be so confused, Xiao Ruyan was slightly stunned, but his face was still silent, he rubbed his temples lightly, closed the file, leaned back, and said leisurely,

"The eldest princess wants to make a deal with this palace, let's hear it."

"The queen mother is worthy of being a person who has been sitting in the harem for many years but is still standing, and Xinghe's little caution has also been seen through by the mother. In this way, the galaxy got straight to the point, and exchanged the nine turns back to Qingdan in Niangniang's hand to get this dossier. ”

Li Xinghe is not annoyed, he is still calm and light, anyway, it is not Li Chengde who committed the crime, I am afraid that there is someone else who should be anxious.

"You should also know that even if this matter is stabbed in front of the emperor, it is insignificant to Chengren, at most it is a crime of lax majesty, and it can't move his foundation."

Xiao Ruyan didn't want to hand over Hui Qingdan to Li Xinghe's hands so easily, so she could only pretend to say.

"I naturally know this, the second emperor's brother's family has a big business, his power in the previous dynasty is deep, and he is backed by the Xiao family, this kind of trivial matter is naturally insignificant. But the Buddha statue that was supposed to be real gold has become a gold-plated bronze Buddha statue, isn't Niangniang afraid that the second emperor brother will be drowned by the spittle stars of the world? What's more, Niangniang recently lived alone in the Changfeng Hall to pray for the blessing of the Tianlan Buddha, if this matter is poked out at this time, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on Niangniang's reputation. ”

Although Tianlan is not a national believer in Buddhism, there are countless temples of all sizes across the country. With such disrespect for the Buddha, even if you are a prince, you will not be able to escape the criticism of the literati, so this time she has the chance to win.
