East Palace.

Back garden.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, in fact, I didn't mean to deceive Lord Leng, but I didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I pushed the boat down the river and pointed out that it was Pang Xun's old ministry who did it."

Li Wuji smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"What are Childe's concerns? No matter who the murderer is, since he dares to assassinate you, he should be severely punished! If it really doesn't work, this palace will make the decision for you personally! ”

Li Jingzhen said with some indignation, as if she was complaining about Li Wuji.

"The relationship between Qilin Mountain and the imperial court is extraordinary, and it is naturally known below."

"Moreover, the relationship between the Qilin Heavenly Master and His Majesty is not very comparable, and I am worried that if this matter is big, it will make it difficult for His Majesty and His Highness to do it."

"What's more, Zai Xia is not injured, so I implore Your Highness, just as this incident has not happened?"

Li Wuji sighed, looked at Li Jingzhen with a serious face, and asked slowly.

"I didn't expect that in order not to embarrass His Majesty and this palace, the prince was willing to swallow his anger, such a mind, just ask how many people can compare, I have to make this palace admire!"

"Come, this palace will toast you again!"

Li Jingzhen looked at Li Wuji with a look of relief and said appreciatively.

"Your Highness has a good reputation."

"Do it first!"

Li Wuji smiled, tilted his head and drank the third glass of wine.

"Childe, don't worry, if there is another conflict with Qilin Mountain in the future, this palace will definitely be on your side!"

Li Jingzhen looked at Li Wuji and said affirmatively.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Wuji said gratefully, picked up the flask, and poured a glass for Li Jing.

Next, the two of them went back and forth, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and without eating a few bites of food, they had already drunk a lot of wine.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Wuji said goodbye to Li Jingzhen and left the East Palace, and it was already afternoon at this time.

For a whole morning, he almost experienced a serial brainwashing between mother and daughter.

The moment he walked out of the palace and got into the carriage, the drunkenness from Wuji's body disappeared in an instant, and he gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes.

Dealing with that mother and daughter is even more tiring than fighting with someone!

was forced to agree to the empress to serve as the commander of the Golden Dragon Guard, not what caught him off guard the most, but that he found out that Meng Jie, the defender of the Zhenbei Army, was actually the person who left Jingzhen!

Even Leng Yue didn't know about the assassination sent by Qilin Mountain, and at that time, Dillon disposed of the corpse very cleanly, and it was impossible for anyone to find out.

But Li Jingzhen knew inexplicably, and the only possibility was what Meng Jie told her!

Because in the Windy City, only Meng Jie can find out!

This point was indeed beyond his expectations, it seems that this Lijing should have done a lot of things to hide from the empress.

As for why he didn't tell Leng Yue the truth, it was because he felt that it was unnecessary, even if Leng Yue knew, he would not help him deal with Qilin Mountain, and besides, Tan Sheng was in his room at the time, and he also wanted to use the four words of Pang Xun's old department to distract Leng Yue's attention.

A current monarch and a future monarch are not simple, and they are not easy to deal with.

Perhaps, there is something he can take advantage of, but it is still a little too early at this time, and he must pass the current level first.

When he takes up the post of commander of the Golden Dragon Guard, the test will begin again.

This time, perhaps, was the empress's last temptation for him.

But I can't say for sure, I remembered a sentence from Wuji, and I forgot who said it, the original words are, not doubting today, does not mean that you will not doubt tomorrow, not doubting now, and not doubting in the future.

When Li Wuji returned to Li'anhou Mansion, Cao Zi'an could see at a glance that he was not in high spirits.

The others all followed Li Wuji to the main hall of the backyard, looking at Li Wuji with a slight frown, looking at each other.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Cao Zi'an poured a cup of hot tea for Li Wuji and asked slowly, showing concern.

"It's nothing, I just don't feel like being used as a pawn."

Li Wuji smiled and said lightly.

"Chess pieces?"

Cao Zi'an hesitated, a little puzzled.

Yesterday, I obviously received a holy decree from the palace, and I want to go to the palace today to receive the reward, and when I came back from Wuji, I was full of wine, and I was obviously very happy.

"The empress is about to set up a Golden Dragon Guard, I am the commander of this yamen, and the task she gave me is to completely eradicate Tianyuan and Qingxuanmen."

Li Wuji smiled, pointed at Cao Zi'an and Su Wanqing on the side, and said.

After listening to Li Wuji's answer, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and their faces were solemn.

"It seems that this trip to the north still did not dispel the empress's suspicions about the son, but intensified."

Cao Zi'an frowned and said contemplatively.

"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing, maybe you can take this opportunity to take full control of Jin Longwei in your own hands!"

"At that time, Tianyuan, Tianshu, including the people in the Qingxuanmen, can slowly infiltrate into it, and at that time, Gongzi will have a force in the capital that no longer needs to hide! It's more handy to do things! ”

Su Wanqing, who was on the side, thought for a while and said seriously.

"The Holy Maiden is right, this is indeed an opportunity!"

Cao Zi'an couldn't help but nodded and said thoughtfully.

"I know all this, I'm just worried, if the empress really forces me to do something to Tianyuan and the people in the Qingxuanmen at that time, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Li Wuji smiled and said with some concern.

If the empress asked him to deal with Tianyuan and Qingxuanmen by himself, then he would have his own way to deal with it, but things would never be so simple, the empress would definitely not stand idly by, maybe let the blood blaze interfere.

At that time, if he doesn't make a move, the empress's suspicion of him will no longer be a suspicion!

"Don't think about it so much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so many difficulties have come over, and the senior brother has never lost!"

At this moment, Pang Xiaoxiao walked in with a bowl of decanting soup, and said as he walked, with a look of victory.

Listening to Pang Xiaoxiao's words, Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile, and the boredom in his heart was instantly swept away.

Yes, he can come out safe and sound after ten years of penance in prison, so why worry about something that hasn't happened?

"It's still a little junior sister who is smart!"

Li Wuji praised it and smiled and picked up the decanting soup.

The others present also hesitated and smiled at each other.

Today's Pang Xiaoxiao is gradually maturing, although he never asks about Tianshu and Tianyuan, but he is no longer the little girl who was bullied at the beginning.

"Childe, Xiao Gongzi is here."

At this time, one of his subordinates slowly came to the door of the main hall, saluted respectfully to Li Wuji, and said slowly.

Hearing the words of his subordinates, everyone saluted and retreated, and dispersed.

"I have to finish the soup."

Before Pang Xiaoxiao left, he deliberately pretended to be serious and looked at Li Wuji and admonished.

Li Wuji smiled and nodded honestly.

"Bring him here."

Then, Li Wuji looked up at his subordinates at the door and said lightly.

Soon, Xiao Hongxing walked into the backyard under the leadership of that subordinate, and slowly came to the main hall, holding a stack of things in his hand, which looked quite heavy.

"I've seen Childe!"

Xiao Hongxing said respectfully while saluting.

"Sit."

Li Wuji smiled and raised his hand, motioning for Xiao Hongxing to sit down.

Xiao Hongxing agreed, and carefully sat next to Li Wuji, with a position in between.

After the trip to the north, it was rumored in the capital that Anhou's status in the court was bound to be higher than before.

Although Li Wuji has never served in the DPRK, his influence is not underestimated among the various ministries of the DPRK, which is why there are always so many people rushing to slap him up on weekdays, just hoping to have some friendship with him.

Xiao Hongxing is not stupid, of course he understands this truth, so although Li Wuji often considers himself a friend in front of him, he does not dare to trespass.

When he greeted Li Wuji at the door of the car yesterday, he didn't step forward, because he knew that there were so many people present at that time, and it was not his turn to come forward to ask for warmth.

"What do you suspect you are carrying?"

Li Wuji pointed to the stack of things that looked like account books that Xiao Hongxing had placed on the table, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, this is the account after the receipt of each shop, as well as the import and export accounts of some pharmacies and medical halls in cooperation with the shopkeeper Pang, specially brought today, please take a look."

Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment, hurriedly got up and put the account books in front of Li Wuji, and said a little crampedly, like the demeanor of the minister when he met the empress.

Looking at Xiao Hongxing's nervous appearance, Li Wuji couldn't help but shake his head and smile, sure enough, he guessed correctly...
