I heard my father say again: "Besides, it is impossible for the emperor not to know about the princess pretending to be the second prince!" In short, now that there is no evidence that you murdered the prince, it is already very good, don't think about blaming the princess for the crime! ”

"Even if the princess is convicted of framing you, the emperor will beat her fifty boards, punish her to kneel and kowtow to you to apologize, and then lock her up."

"Do you think it's possible? Also, don't forget who you're targeting! ”

In the distance, the secret guard of the tree hidden in the tree outside the palace looked at the father and son in the courtyard, and listened to the content hard.

Because of the recent strengthening of the defense of the Great Prince's Mansion, he had no choice but to stay away to monitor.

But in this way, I couldn't really hear the content of their conversation, but I vaguely heard a few key words, and the princess was punished with countless boards, and was beaten to her knees begging for mercy.

Countless boards, won't the princess be beaten to death!

When the dark guard thought of this, he was shocked, and he had to report this matter to the second prince quickly!

On the way, Li Ji galloped his horse, day and night, and killed four or five horses in a row.

Finally, on the fourth day, they arrived at Liyang City.

When he returned to Liyang City, he went straight to Yunwei Palace, and saw the soldiers of the patrol camp surrounded by Yunwei Palace, with a gloomy face at the moment.

When those soldiers saw that the second prince had returned, they were about to stop him and wanted him to go to the palace, but he swept away by him.

Directly hit the wall, and some hit the door, knocking the door open.

He didn't even look at them, and strode straight to the bedroom to find Ye Shuhua.

Some of the soldiers rolled over and immediately ran away.

Ye Shuhua was eating pear blossom hazelnut cake and drinking tea on the beauty couch in the hall.

I heard a familiar voice that I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Lady! Wife! ”

Ye Shuhua hurriedly stayed and walked outside the house, sure enough, it was the person she was thinking about!

In the next moment, she was held in her arms by the person who came, and the tip of her nose was still faintly fragrant with herbs.

Being held in my arms, it is still warm and reassuring.

"Hua'er, you're not hurt? Didn't get boarded? ”

The two returned to the hall and sat on the beauty couch, and Li Zhen carefully looked at her whole body to make sure that she was indeed not injured at all, and then asked.

Ye Shuhua was asked inexplicably, and said with a smile: "No, where did you hear that I was beaten on the board?" ”

Li Zhen thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and guessed that the secret guard must have heard it, so he hugged her into his arms again and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about you." ”

It seems that the guards are slacking off, and it's time to find a time to train them properly!

"That's right." Ye Shuhua suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of worry and asked, "I'm going to ask you, what's going on with you in the south, how can you bring back the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Who did you pass that note to, and why did you also write about the barracks medicine man! ”

Speaking of this, the thick fog under Li Zhen's eyes dispersed, and he smiled: "It's just a misunderstanding, I have my own explanation." Don't worry. ”

Seeing that he was still mysterious, Ye Shuhua's brows sank, and he asked again, "So what's going on?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Emperor invites you to go to the Imperial Study!"

The commander of the Black Imperial Guard, Ayakawa, suddenly burst in with a large number of men and horses, and the soldiers rushed in, surrounding the entire house.

Jiang Chuan stood at the door, a black armor lined him majestic, he had a straight face, stretched out his hand and pointed out the door, his eyes were calm.

Li Zhen raised his hand and stroked Ye Shuhua's head, and lowered his head lightly, "Wait for me to come back." ”

Then he went out with Jiangchuan.

In the imperial study, the emperor just drank a big bowl of medicine, and the emperor seemed to be used to the bitterness of medicine, and he could endure it without candied fruit or tea.

After a while, the eldest prince and the third prince all came uninvited.

The emperor had already expected it, and he didn't open his mouth to drive it away, but just waited patiently for Li Zhen to come.

Soon, the Lizhen came.

He first saluted and bowed, but the emperor kept staring at him, his face was sinking like water, and he directly threw the note and General Wu's urgent report in front of him.

He bent down to pick it up and glanced at it casually.

I heard the emperor say: "How do you explain this note!" What is the purpose of your message to Huaguo? ”

"Your Majesty, why else, he must be thinking of taking this opportunity to let Huaguo attack him, he was born in Huaguo, and his heart must also be thinking about Huaguo! He came to Li Kingdom, saying that he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but in fact, he came as a lackey of Huaguo! ”

"Advocate! Don't talk nonsense! The eldest prince roared angrily, and then bowed his hand to the emperor to make amends.

"The dog is also eager to protect the country, and he is afraid that our Li country will be attacked by someone at such a critical moment."

The emperor's face was even more ugly, but he didn't have time to deal with them.

Just stared straight at Liqiu, waiting for his answer.

Li Zhen received the urgent report, smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Back to my father, my son did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason. ”

The emperor's tightly knit brows loosened imperceptibly after hearing this, but his eyes were still full of suspicion.

Wait for him to continue explaining.

It's no wonder that the emperor is so worried, he sent someone to pass on the letter to ask Shuo'er, but there has been no response until now.

This is a note sent by Erchen to the Yin family and his wife in order to find the Baizhu grass. The Yin family and his wife treated me like their own son, and after knowing that my body was poisonous, they began to look for herbs to cure the poison in my body, so the extremely rare and precious atractylodes grass also treasured a few plants. ”

"And that atractylodes grass is the key to solving the poison in the body of those medicine people, and the son really has no choice, so he sent a letter to the Yin family's parents to explain the situation and ask them to send one plant."

"Since the situation is explained, it is natural to tell the reason. The note was passed on by the son to the Yin family and his wife. ”

"That is also to pass on the military intelligence of our Li State to the Chinese people, and it is also a collaborator!" Li Chan spoke again.

The curvature of Li's lips deepened, revealing a row of bright teeth, and he smiled calmly.

"If the prince has to investigate the identity of the Chinese, then I have nothing to say. In short, Father, now the toxins of the medicine people in the soldiers in the southern border have been solved, and even those who have not become ill have been solved. The danger in the south has been completely lifted. ”

"However, the person who poisoned the soldiers in the south has not yet been found. However, the third brother has also investigated a little eyebrows, and he should come back soon, and he can arrest the person who took the drug. ”

When Li Zhen said this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced deeply at the eldest prince.

He added: "Moreover, those poisons were dropped five years ago, and this poison has a dormant period, and as long as it is not awakened to make it sick, it will always be lurking in the soldiers' bodies. ”

"And as soon as you gave the tiger talisman to the third brother, there was a medicine man incident in the military camp, and those poisons were woken up and sick."

The point is so far, and the rest is self-evident.

The emperor listened to him eloquently, and he was shocked when he heard it.

He didn't expect that his younger brothers, in order to seize power, could be so mad that they poisoned the soldiers on the border!

That's the soldiers guarding the Li country, and if they fall, the Li country will be over!

He has been fighting horses for half his life, and the Li country that he has worked so hard to protect is completely over!

"Don't think we're going to believe you if you're so one-sided! The south is far away, and the third prince has not returned, who knows if you have already killed the third brother and those medicine soldiers, and you came back to think of this set of rhetoric! ”

Li Zhan glared angrily at him again, and pointed at him.

This is the only chance to bring down Liqiu, and he must not be allowed to roll over!

The third prince looked at him secretly, and he kept listening quietly.

At this point, he even opened his mouth and said helpfully: "The son of the advocate is right. Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you have no evidence, how can we believe that your words are true? ”

"When the third brother comes back, everything will naturally be clear!" Li Zhen said lightly.

The emperor's eyes never left Liji, his words and deeds were in his eyes, and he did not let go of any subtle expression.

Thinking of what he said, the emperor had a lot less doubts in his heart.

Hearing that Li Zhan was still questioning, he instantly became irritable when he heard it.

Stopped it loudly: "Okay, it's useless for everyone to stick to their own opinions about this matter now, it's better to wait for Shuo'er to come back." ”

"Second brother, what do you think?" The eldest prince was suddenly asked by the emperor, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"That's what the emperor said."

Then he turned his head and glanced at his eldest son with disgust, and roared: "Advocate, you shut up for me!" ”

The third prince is the most refined, and he can see the emperor's thoughts at a glance, and he also knows that it is not appropriate to chase after him at this time.

He continued to stand quietly in place, holding his hands and bowing his head in silence.

In the end, the emperor put the matter on hold for the time being on the grounds of health, and waited for the third prince to come back for a retrial.

But seeing that Li Zhen was so calm and unflustered, I thought that what he said was true.

Moreover, the emperor probably believed him.

The third prince was already out of this matter, and he was naturally happy to see it happen if he could get rid of it with the hand of the eldest prince, but if he couldn't get rid of it, he could also be alone, and the fire couldn't burn him.

On the contrary, it can also burn the good son of the eldest prince, Li Chong, to the ground.

No matter who it is, it will be harmless to him.

He just sat back and watched the show.
