Under the night, the Taiji Palace is brilliant.

Inside the Changle Gate, the lights are bright.

When Li Xuan arrived at Changle Gate, the inside and outside were already full of thousands of guards, and they were killing seriously.

Outside the gate of the inner hall, Pei Guangxiao, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, was already waiting outside the hall solemnly, dressed in black brocade clothes and looking respectful.

Seeing Li Xuan appear, Pei Guangxiao turned to look at Li Xuan with a surprised face, and arched his hand: "I've seen the King of Nanchang." ”

"I've seen Pei Weng!" Li Xuan immediately returned the salute respectfully.

Pei Guangxiao, Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan are all children of the Pei family in Hedong, but Pei Guangxiao was born in the East Pei, Pei Xingjian was born in the middle of Pei, and Pei Yan was born in the horse Pei.

Therefore, the Pei family has three current dynasty scholars, temple qing, and even a former crown princess, so that they can be safely impeached in the court.

The family is big, the same clan is not in the same house, and the emperor's trick is just a trick.

The Tui En Order is not only for the royal family, but also for the big families, so it is an unsolvable conspiracy.

Pei Guangxiao stood beside Li Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Did Honglu Temple receive the news so quickly?" ”

Li Xuan looked at the door of the hall, but he shook his head slightly, and said, "The little nephew was facing the saint at that time, and he came here to check the situation by the holy decree. ”

Pei Guangxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "I have heard that the virtuous nephew and the saint are very long, but I never thought that it would be too late." ”

This time it was Li Xuan's turn to be slightly stunned, and hurriedly whispered: "Pei Weng, it's not like that, it's a matter of duty." ”

"Then why don't other people have such a job?" Pei Guangxiao's words were directly penetrated, which made Li Xuan a little stunned.

Of course, he knew that he could now become the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, in addition to his own ability, the emperor's attempt to balance the political situation was also one of the reasons.

But now, when Pei Guangxiao said this, Li Xuan suddenly felt that the emperor had other intentions in doing this.

Li Xian, or Li Xian?

……

"Squeak", the closed door opened, and the inner chamberlain, dressed in green clothes, nodded to the people in the courtyard outside.

Li Xuan, Pei Guangxiao, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, Li Huaiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Guang, the heir of Guanglu, and Liang Wujian, the Shaoqing of Taifu, entered the simple inner hall in turn.

In the dim candlelight, a figure lay calmly on the bed, wearing a blue Xiaofeng Zhai coat on his head, wearing nine cui and four phoenix double temples, his expression was serene, the wrinkles on his face were also much smoother, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping, this was Zheng Guanyin, the hidden princess.

Li Xuan, Pei Guangxiao, Li Huaiyan, Chen Guang, and Liang Wujian first bowed to Zheng Guanyin's body, and then looked at the eunuch in great surprise.

Because what the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin is wearing is the crown princess's clothes.

You must know that Li Jiancheng was finally demoted to the Hidden King, and Zheng Guanyin is the Hidden Princess, how can she wear the clothes of the crown princess now.

Facing the questioning eyes of the clan, the Ministry of Rites and others, Qiu Eun nodded slightly.

I didn't say it, but it meant it.

This matter has been approved by the emperor and the Empress Wu, and even more, this is the arrangement of the emperor and the Empress Wu.

The dead are only the dead, and the greatest grace is only reserved for the living.

Everyone sighed in their hearts, then turned around and looked at the county lord of Guide who was kneeling under the bed and weeping silently, and everyone bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness mourns." ”

Guide to the county lord, born in the first year of Zhenguan, forty-nine years old.

Although he is old, his face is still beautiful, he looks only in his early thirties, and he is very well maintained.

The county lord of Guide restrained the sadness on his face, picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face, then stood up, bowed down and said, "I have to work." ”

"Don't dare!" Everyone bowed down at the same time.

The county lord of Guide took a deep breath, then looked at the inner chamberlain on the side, and said softly: "Let's start!" ”

"Whoa!" Qiu Eun immediately nodded, and then beckoned outside, and several sturdy chamberlains immediately walked into the hall from the outside, carefully lifted Concubine Zheng from the bed, and slowly walked out in front of everyone.

Li Xuan, Pei Guangxiao, Li Huaiyan, Chen Guang, and Liang Wujian all bowed their heads slightly, as if they didn't dare to look at Concubine Zheng's face.

But everyone's eyes quickly swept over Concubine Zheng's face, and several of them came here at this time for this reason.

Concubine Zheng's face was calm, without the slightest abnormality, and her ten fingers were also spread peacefully.

There were no signs of poisoning.

The county lord of Guide followed Concubine Zheng's body, and slowly walked out of the inner hall, and everyone immediately bowed: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

When the county lord of Guide came out of the inner hall, everyone present raised their heads at the same time and stared at the inner chamberlain.

Qiu Eun waved the dust in his hand, and arched his hand to everyone: "Shao Honglu, Da Zongzheng, Shao Zongbo, Lang Zhongling, Shao Taifu."

Before the New Year's Eve, Princess Xi asked for the Lantern Festival lantern and promised it.

On the morning of the second day, the maid Xu found that Princess Xi was in poor health, and the doctor diagnosed her, with a cold and fever, but Concubine Zheng was old, and although she was diagnosed and treated every day, she was powerless after all.

The lord of Guide County began to serve every day five days ago, but finally passed away on the twenty-third day, and the pharmacy, the hospital, the medical case is here, the province of the inner servant, and the history museum is recorded here.

According to the order, the princess Zheng was suspended for five days, and was buried in the main mansion of Guide County, buried in Gaoyangyuan, and buried with her husband. ”

After Qiu Eun finished speaking, he bowed slightly and let out the pile of copywriting behind him.

Everyone's eyes looked at Pei Guangxiao for a moment, and among the people, he was the oldest.

Pei Guangxiao did not hesitate, then stepped forward directly, simply flipped twice, and then retreated, nodding slightly at everyone.

The next moment, Pei Guangxiao, as well as Li Huaiyan, Chen Guang, and Liang Wujian, looked at Li Xuan at the same time.

Who made him a clan, Li Xuan sighed helplessly, bowed his hand slightly, and then walked up.

Li Xuan flipped through a few medical cases slightly, and the prescriptions and medicinal materials on them were all used to treat the symptoms of wind and cold, and there was no problem.

Li Xuan retreated, Li Huaiyan, Chen Guang, and Liang Wujian stepped forward one after another to check, and finally each breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a necessary procedure, and even the historians who hide in the shadows see it in their eyes and record it in the history books.

"Everyone, since you have nothing to do, then please go to the mansion of the Lord of Guide County, and after you are settled, you can go back to rest." Qiu Eun bowed his hand slightly to everyone.

Everyone immediately bowed down and said, "Oh! ”

Pei Guangxiao, Li Xuan, Li Huaiyan, Chen Guang, and Liang Wujian left the inner hall one after another, and then escorted Princess Xi's body to the main mansion of Guide County.

After everyone left, Qiu Eun stood alone in the main hall, then packed up all the medical cases, and then walked out of the inner hall.

A faint incense permeated the inner sanctum, and it was calm.

At this time, the voice of Qiu Eunuch came from outside the hall: "Clean every corner of this place well, and do not leave the slightest foreign object." ”

"Whoa!" In a deep voice, a black-clad chamberlain walked in from the outside and began to clean every corner of the entire hall.

Under the bed, behind the curtains, on the roof, on the beams, under every drawer, under every floor, everything they could see and think of, they searched carefully, leaving no clutter.

After a long time, everyone withdrew.

The doors of the temple were closed, and darkness was completely enveloped in the house, and no candles were lit again.

……

In Yongjiafang, a black-framed carriage slowly drove out of the hall, surrounded by more than a dozen Jinwu guards escorting forward.

Inside the carriage, Li Xuan tidied up her clothes a little, and then breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Huaiyan opposite and asked, "Why did my brother come here in person this time?" ”

Li Huaiyan's cousin Li Huainian colluded with the king of the East China Sea, although His Majesty did not hold the Shi'an County Duke accountable, but also removed his brother Li Xuansi from the post of lieutenant general of the forbidden army.

Although he still retains the position of Li Huai's waiter in the Ministry of Rites, this time, he appeared at the funeral of the hidden princess, which was somewhat sensitive.

"This is within the scope of the brother's duties, although this trip is somewhat sensitive, but it is better than deliberately avoiding suspicion, which makes people suspect that it is not." Li Huaiyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but it was just the lesser of two evils.

"That's fine, at least some people ask, from you and me to tell the truth, how much people still believe." Li Xuan leaned back on the body.

Li Xuan, Li Huaiyan, and Pei Guangxiao and others, the reason why they are here today is that the emperor wants to tell the world through their mouths.

The death of the hidden princess was completely natural, no one poisoned her, and there was no deliberate and vicious plan.

The human heart is like this, the situation is like this, and it is never a bad thing to be cautious.

"The disciple of the virtuous brother medicine king, the virtuous brother will not be questioned when he speaks." Li Huaiyan glanced at Li Xuan, and the reason why Li Xuan appeared here was even more straightforward.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, leaned on the frame and stopped talking.

Li Xuan recalled that she had seen the calm face of the hidden princess Zheng, as well as all the perfect medical records, all of which showed that Concubine Zheng died of wind and cold naturally, and there was no accident.

But is that really the case?

The wind is cold, and the windows are not closed at night, especially in winter.

The person who does not close the window can be a person in the palace or Concubine Zheng herself.

It can be homicide or suicide.

Or no one did anything, but someone told Concubine Zheng last year that she was going to die in the first month.

So in the first month, no one did anything, and she died.

People's hearts are calculated, and life and death are in the hands of others.

"I heard that this time, the virtuous brother is going to take the opportunity to catch the king of the East China Sea." Li Huaiyan looked at Li Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Li Xuan glanced at Li Huaiyan deeply, and then said: "At this funeral of Concubine Zheng, the reason why the palace wants Concubine Zheng to be buried from the mansion of the county lord of Guide is to tell the world that the county lord of Guide is the last widow of Prince Yin, and there is no one else. ”

Li Huaiyan looked at Li Xuan, frowning slightly, as if he had understood something.

"Therefore, this time is always for the funeral of Concubine Zheng, it is best to pass calmly and smoothly, no matter who tries to make trouble, it must be completely strangled out of the eyes of the world." Li Xuan lifted the curtain, glanced out of the car, and then continued: "It's the same for that person, he has to make a noise at this funeral, if he doesn't make any noise, then even if the world family knows that he is the son of Prince Yin, they won't invest in an incompetent person, not to mention that he can't even prove it." ”

"Therefore, although this time is the best time to seize the King of the East China Sea, the first thing is to ensure that there are no accidents in this funeral, send Concubine Zheng to the funeral of Gao Yangyuan, and anyone who tries to make trouble will be killed." Li Xuan's sober and calm words made Li Huaiyan silent for a long time.
