A series of shocks had already made Li Xiaoqing numb, and she was not even surprised that Li Xiangyang would push the pot on her at such a time.

If he hadn't thought about it in the morning, how could he keep her in the dark.

Previously, when she was in the Zhenguo Mansion in Yunjiang, Li Xiaoqing would not be patient with Xu Yuanshan sacrificing her to survive with a broken arm.

This time, in front of Li Xiangyang, she will not be patient.

"When my brother said this, I didn't understand."

Li Xiaoqing opened her mouth faintly, "At the beginning, my husband just had a few words of disagreement with the Duchess of Zhenguo, and after my brother learned about it, he specially asked me to send my husband to kill Longpo and die." My husband died a year before Emperor Xiaode, how can he instruct people to harm Emperor Xiaode? ”

She said, deliberately wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Besides, after my husband died, my brother said that I was a woman, and it was inconvenient for me to show up to take care of these business matters, so I asked for the incense shop. ”

Li Xiangyang didn't expect that Li Xiaoqing would sell him so quickly.

"You idiot, are you brainbroken?"

He turned his head in shock and looked at Li Xiaoqing angrily.

"Whether your dead ghost husband died or not, and when he died, you know, I know, and the crown prince and princess also know. Why are you reversing black and white here? ”

"Brother Wei knows, Zhao Long's death makes you resentful of Brother Wei, but you are the daughter of the Li family, the Li family gave birth to you and raised you, not for you to drag down the whole Li family to die for a man!"

When Li Xiaoqing heard the word "Zhao Long", she thought of the corpse outside and smiled miserably.

Compared with Xu Yuanshan and Zhao Long, the backstab from her brother-in-law made her even more distressed.

When she was needed, she was the daughter of the Li family.

When she wasn't needed, she was just spilling water.

"My brother also said that when I marry my husband, I naturally have to follow my brother's teachings," she lowered her head and said softly, "My husband died in Zhulongpo five years ago, this is something that the whole capital knows, where did my brother know that he is not dead?" ”

Li Xiangyang's face sank.

When Li Huai returned to Beijing, he told him everything that happened in Yunjiang.

It is related to the secrets of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the emperor agreed with the prince to hide the news of Xu Yuanda's death from the world.

He shouldn't have been exposed easily, otherwise he would definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

But now, he can't care much about it.

Li Xiangyang said to Li Huai: "Da Lang, tell me, what happened to you in Yunjiang, why was she abandoned by the Xu family, tell the truth, don't have to save face for her." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Huai not only didn't mention the matter of Yunjiang in half a sentence, but asked with a pale face: "Father, did you really open the 'Tianxiang Pavilion' six years ago?" ”

Li Xiangyang's eyes widened in astonishment, "You...... You ......"

Li Huai kowtowed to him: "Father, the son knows that the shopkeeper and the companion of my aunt's incense shop have been raised in the Zhuangzi of our Hou Mansion before, and they are indeed members of the Li family." If this matter is really done by you, it is better to confess to the emperor as soon as possible, it is the way to be loyal to the king! ”

Li Xiangyang didn't expect that the only son he had high hopes for would disobey him at such a time.

He was so angry that one Buddha went out of his body, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

"Rebel, rebel!" He covered his heart with one hand and pointed at Li Huai with the other, his face turned blue with anger, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"My son knows." Li Huai straightened his back, "It is precisely because my son knows that Emperor Xiaode died suddenly and violently, and the possibility of being poisoned is the greatest, so Emperor Xiaode's clothing, food and daily utensils were all tested for poison by the embroidered clothes envoy and the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

"During that time, all the internal officials and palace maids who had contact with the East Palace were strictly interrogated, and none of them even survived. Only the Tianxiang Pavilion, which regularly pays tribute to the palace, has been thoroughly investigated, but because of the relationship between the town and the country, it has not been affected too much. ”

"The son originally felt that this matter might be related to Tianxiang Pavilion, but there was no evidence, but now he ...... In short, our Yiyang Marquis Mansion is loved by the Heavenly Family, and we must not do disloyal and unrighteous things. ”

Now the world only knows that Emperor Xiaode was killed by Yun Liangdi with the technique of defeating witchcraft, and it is also known that Chu Yan withstood the doubts of hundreds of officials, risked the disapproval of the world, and saved Yun Liangdi's life.

But no one knows that there are still many doubts about the death of Emperor Xiaode.

Li Huai said this, which is tantamount to pointing out the suspicion of the death of Emperor Xiaode in public.

Everyone present is the first time to see such an "upright" prince of the Hou Mansion.

To put it nicely, it is "righteous annihilation".

To put it mildly, it's a seller, wolf-hearted.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that Li Huai would attack Li Xiangyang at such a time.

I taught her the evidence she had prepared in advance, and it was inconvenient to take it out immediately.

Shen Lingxi was curious, and looked at Liu Meiren inquiringly.

During this time, Liu Meiren often went to the Li family, and she was like a treasure about the things in the Li family's house.

Seeing Shen Lingxi looking over, she didn't hide it, and said to Shen Lingxi in the air: "This Li Huai is a wonderful person, his mother was originally a maid in front of the old lady of Yiyang Hou, and she was ruined by Yiyang Hou after getting drunk. The maid was assertive, knowing that the wife of the Marquis of Yiyang was jealous and not easy to get along with, and she didn't want to be Li Xiangyang's concubine, so she begged the old lady to send her to the Zhuangzi who was married. ”

"Who would have thought that the maid was pregnant with Li Xiangyang's seed in her belly, and secretly gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses on Zhuangzi. The old lady felt sorry for her newborn grandson, and was afraid that this mother and son would be bullied by her daughter-in-law, so she simply quietly raised people on Zhuangzi until she was ten years old. Li Xiangyang's wife and concubine, let alone a concubine, did not even give birth to a concubine. ”

Li Xiangyang's wife-in-law became pregnant one after another, and she couldn't sit still, and her body was broken. Before the old lady died, she told Li Xiangyang about the existence of her mother, and you can imagine how happy Li Xiangyang was. On the same day, he personally went to Zhuangzi and took the mother and son back to the house. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Meiren sighed, "I won't say what happened later, you can guess it." In half a year, when the mother died of illness, the sister of the twins was abducted by the flower and disappeared. Only this only son was left, and he survived by luck...... And then that's what it is today. ”

When the two spoke, Li Xiangyang, the Marquis of Yiyang, was already extremely angry, and when he heard Li Huai's words, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

The emperor's face was extremely gloomy.

"Imperial Doctor, wake up the Marquis of Yiyang, I want to listen to him explain to me face to face, what the hell is going on."

The imperial doctor rushed forward, pinched the middle of the person, and gave the needle to Yiyanghou, but Yiyanghou did not move.

Look at the posture of lying to the bottom.

Seeing this, Li Huai knelt down in front of Li Xiangyang, and lay in his ear without knowing what to say-

I saw Li Xiangyang's eyes open in shock, and he sat up straight from the ground!

"You! You! You! He stretched out his hand to Li Huai in disbelief, his lips trembling.

Liu Meiren is a revenant soul and loves to join in the fun, when Li Huai was next to Li Xiangyang's ear, she floated to them as soon as possible, and heard Li Huai's whispering close to her ear.

Liu Meiren's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Huai's gaze, and there was a rare hint of appreciation in her astonishment.

This reaction was really curious in Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Liu Meiren looked at her with a smile and was about to speak-

But he heard that the emperor was at the top, and said to Li Xiangyang, "Marquis Yiyang, for the sake of your loyalty to me over the years, I will give you a chance." Come on, is the incense shop yours, and is there a problem with the cold incense that was paid into the palace back then? ”

The emperor's majestic questioning finally brought Li Xiangyang back to his senses from the shock.

He glanced at Li Huai deeply, knelt down towards the emperor, and said earnestly: "Back to the emperor, the minister has never interfered in the matter of the incense shop of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he will never dare to poison and murder the emperor Xiaode." The minister can swear to the sky, if the minister intervenes in the affairs of the Zhenguo Gong incense shop, the sky will be thundered, and he will not die well......"

"The poisonous oath of the Marquis of Yiyang, just send it when you say it, it's really casual." At this moment, Shen Lingxi opened his mouth mockingly, "I just don't know, if there is really evidence that can prove that the 'Tianxiang Pavilion' was yours five years ago, how should you summon Tianlei to chop you to death?" ”

That's not a polite thing to say.

The emperor frowned and looked at her, "Crown Princess, what evidence have you found out?" ”

"Back to the emperor, before she died, the old lady of Zhenguo handed over an account book to her concubine."

She said, glancing at Chunjun in the distance.

Chunjun presented the account book that the Cao family had given to Shen Lingxi in front of the emperor, "In this account book, it is recorded that from the opening of Tianxiang Pavilion six years ago, to the final closure, all the money flowing from the Zhenguo Mansion was fed. ”

"Judging from the flowing water, although Tianxiang Pavilion was opened in the name of the Xu family, from the beginning of the opening of the shop, the Xu family had no side investment except for a few shops, but it had an income of tens of thousands of taels a year, although Tianxiang Pavilion sold incense, but did not buy incense, so where did the incense it sold come from?"

Li Xiangyang didn't expect that Shen Lingxi still had such evidence in his hands.

Fortunately, he had already thought of a way to deal with this.

Li Xiangyang snorted coldly and said conclusively: "Where can it come from?" Naturally, it was Zhen Guogong who took advantage of the lockdown to quietly let people in. Isn't this running water more proof of my innocence? I don't have the ability to smuggle spices into Beijing from the border. ”

"Yiyang Hou doesn't have this ability." Shen Lingxi looked at him with a smile, "But Yiyang Hou is rich." ”

As she spoke, she took out an account book paper stamped with the official seal from her sleeve, "In the Great Zhou, all seafood from the east, especially spices, was registered by the Municipal Shipping Division, and taxes and silver were collected uniformly. This is the inside page of the account book of the city's shipping department. ”

"The two spices of Shenguang and moon scales in the cold incense are all produced in the Soul Coating Country."

"Five years ago, when Bihan incense was the most popular in the capital, these two spices, in the records of the city's ship, were purchased by a person named Li Qian, and Li Qian was the steward of your Yiyang Marquis Mansion."

"In just one year, Li Qian only had these two spices, and the tax he paid was as high as 20,000 taels, and based on the tax at that time, Li Qian bought at least 100,000 taels of Shenguang and moon scales."

Li Xiangyang's pupils shrank, and he quibbled: "I don't know about this matter, maybe it's my sister who doesn't want the Xu family to know, so she quietly instructed Li Qian to help her." ”

Li Xiaoqing said politely at all: "If Li Qian is doing things for me, what about the money he earns?" The spice business is a million profits, the principal of 100,000 taels, at least more than 300,000 taels, if I have so much money, what do I do to open this 'Tianxiang Pavilion' in one more move, is it that I am tired of living? ”

Li Xiangyang choked.

"Mrs. Li is right." Shen Lingxi looked at him and said, "Five years ago, the account you gave to the Zhenguo Mansion was only 50,000 taels. And your Yiyang Marquis Mansion, for two consecutive years, in the name of your Yiyang Marquis, the title deeds of the granges and shops transferred in various official mansions in the Great Zhou Dynasty are as much as 560,000 taels. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Lingxi asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the Marquis of Yiyang, in the past ten years, the maximum annual income of your Hou Mansion is only 30,000 taels of silver, where did you earn these 560,000 taels of silver?" ”

Li Xiangyang gritted his teeth and looked at her, his face turned red, but he didn't squeeze out a word for a long time.

He couldn't say a word of argument at all.

In the end, I was still careless, thinking that if I ruined the account, everything would be fine.

Unexpectedly, there were flaws in spending money.

Li Xiaoqing looked at him in shock, "If you earn 560,000 taels of silver, you will only give 50,000 taels to the Xu family, not even a fraction of what you earn, in the end, the Xu family will also carry the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan for you, have you ever thought that I am also the wife of the Xu family?" You really don't care about my life or death! ”

The emperor watched coldly at this moment, and he had to admit that the evidence that Shen Lingxi came up with this time hammered this Yiyang Marquis to death.

Aside from the side for the time being, the incense store six years ago must be owned by Li Xiangyang.

As for the death of his royal brother......

"Yiyang Hou, I also want to know, how are you going to summon the heavenly thunder and kill yourself?" The Emperor said coldly.

Li Xiangyang shuddered when he heard this.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground, with a crying voice, and begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister has a last resort in this matter, Tianxiang Pavilion is indeed the minister handling it, but the minister really doesn't know what happened to the death of Emperor Xiaode!" Please also ask the emperor to look at the dragon seed in the belly of Concubine Yue, spare the ministers this time! ”

"What did you say?" The emperor's face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly, his eyes could not hide his surprise, "You say it again, Concubine Yue, she ......"

"Back to the emperor, the minister came from Concubine Yue's mother, and just now, the imperial doctor diagnosed that Niangniang was three months pregnant." Li Xiangyang reported in tears.

When Shen Lingxi heard this, he finally understood what Li Xiangyang's "death-free gold medal" that Liu Meiren said about today was......

The emperor's heirs were difficult, and since the death of his three sons one after another, he attached more importance to his heirs.

However, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and in the past five years, only Zhao Guifei has given birth to a prince.

At this moment, when he heard that Concubine Yue was pregnant, his heart was simply ecstatic.

"Liulang, you will continue to try this case, I have to go and see Concubine Yue."

The emperor hurriedly put down these words, raised his feet and walked out of the tent.

Li Xiangyang raised his head boldly and looked at the emperor with blank eyes.

His own heir is very difficult, and he can naturally understand the emperor's mood at the moment.

originally thought that the emperor would be happy because of his daughter's pregnancy, and temporarily dispersed the current banquet, so that he had time to maneuver.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only named the prince to continue the trial, but also walked past him without even looking at him.

Completely disregarding his life or death.

Li Xiangyang looked at the emperor's distant back, and only felt that a basin of ice water was poured down on his head, and he was poured cold.

If the emperor was present, he might still think about his feelings when he was in the palace, or for the sake of Li Yuejiao's pregnancy, he would open up to him.

But now that the prince is on trial, how can he still have a chance to live?
