Yang Qixuan's house is in Chongrenfang, close to the imperial city and Pingkangfang, which is the area of Chang'an City.

The mansion covers a vast area, with two-thirds of Li Linfu's house, Li Shiniang chose to marry Yang Qixuan, a small part of the reason is that she took a fancy to this house, close to her mother's house, and luxurious.

In early April, nearly three months after Li Linfu's death, this evening, Li Shiniang took a careful bath, washed away the dust since the funeral, and smeared the balm, she looked down at her proud figure, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and asked, "Is Yang Lang here?" ”

"In the study."

Li Shiniang then put on a colorful silk, straightened out the clouds, and went to the study with flowers and willows......

There was a candle in the study, and Yang Qixuan was sitting at the table, holding a poem and reading.

He has been fond of poetry lately.

It's just that this poem written by Li Jilan, he read it over and over again, and he still can't understand it.

"Chaoyun and Dusk Rain Town are with you, and there is a return date for people who go to Yanlai."

"The jade pillow only knows how to cry, and the silver lamp shines in the sky and never sleeps."

"Look up at the bright moon and turn the meaning, and look down at the waves to send words."

"But I remember the first time I heard the song of Fenglou, teaching people to be lonely and lovesick."

It seems like a lovesick poem, missing someone who is far away? But must this man be far away? It is not stated in the poem.

And if it's not far away, why do you have lovesickness? Because he already has a wife, he can't see each other, so he can only love each other.

Yang Qixuan sighed, deep down he also knew that Li Jilan liked Xue Bai in his heart, but he couldn't help but have a hint of luck like this, thinking that if she admired herself, but she failed the beauty because of random speculation, it would be really inappropriate.

The gorgeous face floated in his mind, and his heart suddenly became hot again.

Secretly, he actually learned from those colts to raise two beautiful outer rooms, but he neither had Li Jilan's seductive eyes nor her poetic feelings.

He loves her only talent, elegance and charm, and the little lady who can combine these two completely different temperaments just right is just poking at the tip of his heart.

"Bang."

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Yang Qixuan was startled, panicked, and hurriedly took a volume of official documents and covered the poems. In the chaos, even the official documents were reversed.

"Yang Lang."

Hearing that it was Li Shiniang, Yang Qixuan did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more uneasy, and blurted out: "Why don't you knock ...... when you come in?"

Halfway through the conversation, he swallowed back the rest of the words with great familiarity.

"Huh?" Li Shiniang still snorted coldly and asked, "Do I have to knock on the door when I come in?" ”

"No, I thought it was a housekeeper." Yang Qixuan diverted the topic and asked, "Why is the lady here?" ”

Li Shiyi Niang laughed, leaned over and pressed against his back, and said with a smile: "Disturbing you to do business?" ”

"Nope."

"Have you figured out how to bring down the spittle?" Li Shiniang put her arms around Yang Qixuan's neck, her fingers drawing circles in his heart, teasing his ambition. She feels that men's ambitions and desires are always linked, "I see, they are all mediocre talents, and only you can succeed my grandfather." ”

Yang Qixuan was not very interested in the phase, and when he heard this, he only felt more pressure, nodded sneeringly, and said, "I'm about to figure out a way." ”

"Don't worry, when Xue Bai returns to Beijing, let's see him fight with the spit pot first."

Li Yiniang said, pulled her husband around the screen, sat on the small couch behind the study, and pressed it with her soft body.

"Huh?"

She reached out and asked aloud in surprise, "Why are you convulsed?!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll get up in a while."

"Okay, look at me." Li Shiniang tried her best, but when she looked down, it didn't have much effect, she couldn't help frowning, and shouted, "Can you do it?!" ”

Yang Qixuan was also anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more powerless he became, so he had to mutter: "I'm a little uncomfortable today, I'm probably sick......"

Li Shiniang was so disappointed, she looked at Yang Qixuan with suspicious eyes, and suddenly reached out to grab his ear and asked, "Sick?" ”

"Ahem, cough, it's a terrible headache."

This matter is endless, Li Shiniang is very shrewd, and she is by no means easy to fool, so she ordered someone to invite the doctor.

Yang Qixuan was at a loss, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he really looked like he was sick. As he sat there, he felt more and more weak as he saw a servant coming from the courtyard.

However, when the servant arrived in front of him, he saluted and said, "Ah Lang, the right minister has sent someone to invite you to come over the house." ”

The word "right phase", the husband and wife felt familiar with it, and they were stunned for a moment before they reacted, and now the right phase is already referring to Yang Guozhong.

Li Shiniang frowned and said: "The spit pot is invited at this time, it must be uneasy and kind." ”

Yang Qixuan was amnesty, coughed a few times, and sighed: "I am sick, it is inconvenient to see him, but he is in charge of the court, I am afraid that I have to go today." ”

He finally appeased his angry wife, hurried out of the house, boarded the carriage, felt a lot more relieved, and let out a long breath.

……

The carriage slowly galloped into Xuanyang Fang, from the north gate of the square along the long street to the south, first passing by Xue Bai's house.

"Lang Jun, the convenience has arrived."

"Hmm."

Yang Qixuan lifted the curtain and looked out, and suddenly saw two familiar figures.

There were two little ladies, one of them was slender, wearing filial piety in sackcloth, and the other was wearing a lotus crown and a Taoist robe, ethereal like a fairy, it was Li Tengkong and Li Jilan.

Unconsciously, Yang Qixuan got up slightly, his butt left the cushion, and he was about to call, but they had already entered the Xue Mansion.

"Ji Lanzi ......"

He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Xue Bai had already returned to Chang'an?

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Yang Guozhong's mansion, Yang Qixuan entered through the side door, and when he arrived at the front hall, he saw Yang Guozhong like a scoundrel, served by several beautiful women, leaning on the couch on all fours, crossing his feet, facing him with the soles of his feet, shaking non-stop.

Yang Qixuan looked at the swaying soles of his feet in front of him, and thought of a certain action, and inexplicably felt it. He felt that this was too weird, and quickly shifted his mind.

"I've seen Uncle Guo."

"Haha, don't be polite. You and I are of the same clan, and we can be regarded as our own brothers. ”

Compared with Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong really did not have the demeanor of a heavy minister, patted the other side of the couch, and said, "Come, sit and say." ”

Immediately, Mei Ji led Yang Qixuan to sit on the couch, brought a low case, and poured wine for him.

This is a very close courtesy, Yang Qixuan couldn't help but be very surprised, he originally thought that Yang Guozhong recruited him over today to intimidate and deter. After all, Li Linfu has always treated his subordinates like that in the past.

"The right minister is too polite, I'll come by myself."

Yang Qixuan took the wine glass from Mei Ji's hand, and in the process, his hand touched her hand, only to feel very slippery, but unfortunately, this kind of maid concubine can't be compared with Li Jilan after all.

"I heard that you have been very close to Chen Xilie recently." Yang Guozhong suddenly asked.

Yang Qixuan shook his hand, and the wine spilled on Na Meiji's skirt, and he wiped it twice in a panic, feeling rude.

"Listen to my explanation of this matter......"

Mei Ji wiped the hem of her skirt and said with a smile: "Lang Jun must have deliberately teased the slave family." ”

She relieved him of the siege, and then, raising her eyes, she glanced at it and said shyly: "Lang Jun is really handsome." ”

Yang Qi was much more disciplined after he got married, unlike the man next to him, who had been in the scene for a long time, and couldn't help but feel flurry in the face of the beautiful woman. He deliberately thought about Li Jilan again, so as not to easily fall for the beauty trick here.

"You don't have to explain." Yang Guozhong stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I plan to move you to the counselor of the fifth grade, are you willing?" ”

This is exactly the official position that Yang Qixuan has been planning, and he naturally can't ask for a promotion, but what Yang Guozhong asked was whether he was willing to take refuge in him.

Mei Ji on the side couldn't help but light up when she heard this, clapped her hands and said: "Lang Jun is so young, he is a high-ranking official of the fifth grade, it is really good, the slave family respects Lang Jun with a cup." ”

The wine glass touched, Yang Qixuan hesitated slightly, and drank the wine in the glass.

Yang Guozhong saw it and smiled slightly, knowing that this glass of wine fell into his stomach, and the matter was settled.

Really.

"From the right, Chen Xilie transferred Xue Bai back to Chang'an?" Yang Qi said: "Xue Bai promised Chen Xilie that he would plan for him. ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Guozhong at least would not show his cowardice in front of people, and said lightly: "Chen Xilie is too cowardly to do anything, Xue Bai and I are close brothers, I already know about this matter, you don't have to say anything." ”

Yang Qixuan saw his attitude, and couldn't help but wonder if Chen Xilie had fallen into Yang Guozhong's trap, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart.

"That's right." Yang Guozhong asked: "Do you know that Li Linfu once accepted Absi as his adopted son." ”

"It's just a joke, and Arbus is just showing his loyalty."

After Yang Qixuan finished speaking, he suddenly found that Yang Guozhong's face turned cold, and he realized what the issue he was talking about now meant. Involuntarily bowed his back, unconsciously showing a posture of avoidance and cowering.

"You have to think clearly." Yang Guozhong said: "How many people have been offended by Suo Douji for more than ten years, and there is no possibility of avoiding a catastrophe. Do you want to suffer with the Li family and affect your parents and brothers, or do you want to draw a line as soon as possible and protect the people you want to protect? ”

Yang Qixuan shook his head again and again, as if he refused to betray his wife's family. But this is just because his fear of Li Shiniang has become a habit, and when he thought about it, he realized that what Yang Guozhong said made sense.

Yang Guozhong took out a booklet from his sleeve, put it on the low case, tapped it with his fingers, and said, "Look, instead of waiting for these people on the list to do it, it is better for me to do it, you are protecting the Li family." ”

The booklet was opened, revealing the list on it, many of the names crossed out.

Yang Qixuan was stunned, because he also copied a copy of this list, it was really Li Linfu who had offended too many people, and he didn't know which one would retaliate in the future, so almost everyone in the Li Mansion had one copy to guard against political enemies. It is not difficult for Yang Guozhong to get the list, and it may even be copied by a servant in his own mansion.

Thinking of this, he shuddered.

"Why does a big husband have no wife?" Yang Guozhong continued to persuade, "When you are promoted and divorced, how can there be no better?" Look at the prince, he has divorced his wife twice. What about you? It is not difficult to choose whether to be buried with the Li family or to live alone. ”

Because of this sentence, Yang Qixuan suddenly became enlightened, and even his heart was hot, and he looked forward to dealing with the Li family.

"What the right minister said is that Li Linfu has made countless enemies, and everyone has been resentful of him for a long time, and now investigating the Li family is to protect the Li family."

said such a sentence first, and at the same time found a reason for himself, Yang Qixuan had made up his mind, and said: "Don't hide it from the right minister, Absi does worship Li Linfu as his father-in-law." ”

"Is the reason why Absi rebelled because of Li Linfu?"

As he spoke, Yang Guozhong made a look, and Mei Ji, who was sitting next to Yang Qixuan, took his hand and put it on his plump thigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Li Linfu and Absi made an appointment to raise troops to rebel, but Li Linfu was seriously ill, and Absi failed to capture the Shuofang army when he raised his troops, so he defected to Mobei."

"This ...... This is a great crime of rebellion?! ”

Yang Qixuan was taken aback, feeling that it was too ruthless to deal with the Li family like this. Fortunately, the warm touch from the palm of his hand gave him some comfort.

Yang Guozhong laughed and said, "Why make a fuss? When Gonu dealt with political opponents, wasn't he also accused of rebellion? I learned all these methods from him. ”

~~

Xue Zhai.

Today, Yang Yuyao went back to her Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion to see the progress of the reconstruction of the house, and Li Tengkong and Li Jilan could talk to Yan Yan more.

Because Xue Bai was not there, they all wanted to take care of Yan Yan, and sometimes they even competed with Yang Yuhuan, the Du family sisters and others in their hearts to see who had a better relationship with her.

Of course, the main thing is that Li Jilan has this kind of careful thinking, Li Tengkong is just here to regulate Yan Yan's pulse, she has not been in a good mood recently, she has become more and more silent, and her already thin face has lost two points more than usual.

"It's been good lately, full of qi and blood, not as empty as before."

The jade finger was removed from Hao's wrist, Li Tengkong turned around and walked to the front of the case, and wrote a prescription with a pen, but it was an adjustment of the prescription prescribed by Qi Xuan Zhenren the year before.

After writing, she thought that she couldn't cure her grandfather, and she was a little unconfident in her medical skills, so she hesitated.

Yan Yan put on her shoes and got up, as if she had seen through her thoughts, took the prescription, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will follow the doctor's instructions, and I will definitely get better and better." ”

She raised her hand, followed Xue Bai's example when she exercised in the evening, pinched her upper arm, and showed off her non-existent muscles, in short, indicating that she was much stronger.

Li Tengkong was amused, this was the first time she had shown a smile in nearly three months.

"Don't worry, I'm going to cure you."

"Okay."

Li Jilan stood aside, only to see the sunlight shining through the window paper, shining on their faces, faintly seeing fine fluff on the crystal skin, even she felt tempted, and then gradually lost her mind.

Thinking about it, she thought about whether Xue Lang was not good at that, so the rumors were unbearable, but he was a righteous gentleman.

"Ji Lanzi, what do you want?"

"Nope." Li Jilan hurriedly shook her head and said, "By the way, Xue Lang is coming back soon?" ”

Yan Yan said: "The letter I received yesterday, he set off from Yizhou last month, because he was with the team escorting King Nanzhao, but he didn't know when he would arrive. ”

"The letter has arrived, but the people have not yet arrived." Li Jilan was a little disappointed.

"Of course, the stagecoach is very fast, and even the lychees can be delivered." Yan Yan paid attention to more novelties, but did not put her mind on her husband.

"Yan Gong is about to return to the court, right?"

Li Tengkong diverted the topic and did not want to talk too much about Xue Bai.

She doesn't care about him so much anymore recently, she used to think that she couldn't be with Xue Bai because of her grandfather. But when her grandfather passed away, she found out that her grandfather was actually the reason why she and Xue Bai could get along often. It turned out that everything she had, including her acquaintance with Xue Baineng, was given by her grandfather.

This is a truth that she has not been able to understand lately.

"Yes, my grandfather is coming back soon, and he has to take care of me again." Yan Yan said: "Call Qinglan, let's push the dominoes, right?" Opportunities are numbered. ”

"Okay, vacate the air, pushing dominoes is also a cultivator......"

As he was talking, Qinglan had already rushed over.

Li Jilan listened to the hurried footsteps, knowing that Qinglan definitely didn't rush over to play dominoes, and couldn't help but guess that it was Xue Bai who came back.

She couldn't help tiptoeing and looked out of the courtyard, and the lovesickness in a pair of peach blossom eyes was even stronger.

"Lady." Qinglan Wanfu said: "Princess Yuzhen sent someone to pick her up, and she wants to take Tengkongzi back to Wangwu Mountain immediately." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't say anything, the person who came to pick up the vacant child is already in the lobby."

Li Jilan couldn't help asking, "What about me?" ”

"Please also ask Ji Lanzi to go back immediately."

Li Tengkong was puzzled, but he obeyed his master's orders and hurried back to Yuzhenguan with Li Jilan.

Over there, Yan Yan waited for them to leave, and only then did Qinglan ask, "Is something wrong?" ”

"It seems that many people in the vacant family have been detained."

~~

Jade True View.

This time, Princess Yuzhen decided to go back to Wangwushan temporarily, and the luggage was just picked up in a hurry, and when Li Tengkong and Li Jilan rushed back, Princess Yuzhen ordered the team to set off.

Li Tengkong asked what happened, and Princess Yuzhen only said that she was annoyed in Chang'an and didn't want to stay longer for a moment.

In the past, when I went to Wangwushan, I went out of the city from Chunming Gate, but today the team turned to Zhuque Street and walked all the way to the south.

Princess Yuzhen was riding on a horse, her expression was flat, but she was thinking about the disputes in the court, Yang Guozhong really couldn't let go of Li Linfu.

This was something that could have been predicted a few years earlier, and Princess Yuzhen didn't think that the Li family was innocent, and the only thing she planned to protect was Li Tengkong. Leaving Chang'an this time, Li Tengkong should never come back for the rest of his life.

People came and went on Suzaku Street, and the bento was for Li Tengkong to take one last look at the prosperity of Chang'an, and soon, Mingdemen was already in sight.

It's just because Li Tengkong and Li Jilan ran to Xue's house today, and they were delayed for a lot of time. Just as the team was about to leave the city, a woman chased after him on horseback.

"Seventeen Niang!"

Li Tengkong turned his head and said, "Why is Sister here?" ”

Li Shiniang's riding skills were superb, and she rode her horse and galloped in front of her, her face full of anxiety.

"Seventeen, save your family! Would you like to ask Princess Yuzhen for mercy? ”

"Sister speak slowly, what's wrong?"

"Eat dog intestines, spit pot to frame grandpa for rebellion." Li Shiniang said hatefully: "Grandpa didn't dare to come out of these dogs when he was alive, and now they all jump out!" ”

Li Tengkong was not surprised, but he still felt a sense of weakness.

For a long time, the worst fears still happened.

"What are you doing, go and plead with the princess." Li Shiniang urged.

Li Tengkong then turned his head to look at Princess Yuzhen, but before she could speak, Princess Yuzhen had already shook her head, and said in the most straightforward and neat attitude: "You are a monk, you should not be disturbed by these mundane things, and go with your teacher." ”

The team didn't stop and kept going.

Li Jilan pulled the reins of Li Tengkong and whispered, "Let's go." ”

They all know very well that the ending of the Li family is impossible for even Princess Yuzhen to change. The grievances of the people of the world for more than ten years must be explained.

Even Li Shiniang, who came in a hurry, didn't have much expectation, seeing Princess Yuzhen's resolute attitude of not saving her, she didn't dare to persuade again, and immediately pulled the reins, ready to go back to protect her and Yang Qixuan's own small home.

Li Tengkong's horse was pulled by Li Jilan, and he walked more than ten steps towards the city gate.

She glanced back, made up her mind, hurried forward, and said to Princess Yuzhen: "Real person, you are not filial, you have to say goodbye to real people." ”

"You don't have to do useless things, you know?"

"If a disciple cannot have a clear conscience, no matter how much he cultivates in the future, it will be false."

Princess Yuzhen glanced at Li Tengkong lightly and said, "Let you cultivate, in order to get rid of the shackles of the world, not to let you trouble yourself." ”

She became a female crown for the sake of happiness, but for the sake of cultivation?

Li Tengkong was a nerd, and said: "The realm of apprentices is too low, and they can't untie the shackles of the world." ”

"If you go, there will be no turning back. The daughter of a traitor, exile or betrayal, I will not save it again. ”

"Yes, the apprentice has no regrets, but only disappointed the master's hard work."

Princess Yuzhen didn't look back, and drove the horse out of the city gate.

She is affectionate, but after all, she was born in the royal family, and she can be ruthless when she should be ruthless.

Li Tengkong immediately drove his horse to catch up with Li Shiyi Niang and asked, "Yang Guozhong framed Grandpa, is there any evidence?" ”

"Since it was a false accusation, he must have falsified the evidence."

"How's it going at home?"

"All of them have been arrested, even the fourteenth mother and his wife have not escaped, and her husband's family still boasts of being clear."

"I can't go to Pingkangfang, it's ...... here"

Over there, Li Jilan came back to her senses, and hurriedly went to bid farewell to Princess Yuzhen, and turned the horse's head to chase Li Tengkong. Her riding skills were not good, and she couldn't see Li Tengkong's figure in a blink of an eye, so she thought about it and rushed to Xue's house.

~~

"Phew."

Li Shiniang reined in her horse and followed Li Tengkong to stop in front of a big mansion.

She looked up and saw that it was Chen Xilie's house, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know that we have been cooperating with Chen Xilie recently?" ”

"I've heard something."

Li Tengkong hurriedly responded, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and asked for a meeting with the porter for something very important.

"Wait." The porter said a word, and went inside.

Li Shiniang's eyes flashed, and she said, "You heard about it from Xue Bai?" Chen Xilie wants to fight with Yang Guozhong for power. ”

"Guess."

Li Shiniang said again: "Yang Lang was also arrested, and the spit pot said that he was invited to come over, but in fact, the first one to be arrested was Yang Lang." ”

"It's for the evidence." Li Tengkong said: "My brother-in-law has a cowardly temperament, and I am afraid that I will become the target of Yang Guozhong's coercion and temptation. ”

"Cowardice?"

Li Shiniang listened to it, and was not very happy, and said: "Yang Lang is not cowardly, he has a bad temper. ”

While speaking, the porter of Zuo Xiangfu's mansion rushed back, led the two of them into a hurry in, and turned all the way into a flower hall.

After waiting for a short time, Chen Xilie came over slowly.

He has been doing less and less recently, and he returns home before noon every day, and even his official robe has been changed at this time.

"Two little ladies of the Li family, how do you get to the old man's mansion today?"

"Don't you know what's going on in my family?" Li Shiniang's mouth was fast, and she said directly: "If the news is so ill-informed, how can you seize power with the spittle." ”

Chen Xilie shook his hand again and again, sighing.

Li Shiniang had no choice but to tell Yang Guozhong that he was going to frame Li Linfu.

After hearing this, Chen Xilie looked worried, stroked his long beard, and sighed: "Grace will take revenge, if you want to return the innocence of the Taiwei and get the saint, Yang Guozhong is falsely accused...... Are you sure that Taiwei and Li Xianzhong did not conspire? ”

Because Li Linfu posthumously presented the "Tai Lieutenant" after his death, Chen Xilie called it so, which is very respectful.

When he asked like this, Li Shiniang was unsure.

She also knew that Li Linfu had always been afraid that Li Heng would ascend the throne, and secretly ordered some border towns to secretly prepare to stop it by force, and there was a conspiracy with An Lushan, but whether there was a conspiracy with Absi, to be honest, she didn't know.

Chen Xilie was keenly aware of the change in her expression, and asked tentatively again, "It can't be...... Yes, right? ”

"Nope!" Li Shiniang shouted.

"That's good." Chen Xilie said, "It's just that the little ladies might as well think about it, is there any evidence that needs to be annihilated......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Tengkong suddenly noticed something, pulled Li Shiniang behind him, and said, "Zuo Xiang, if you have to deal with my grandfather." In the future, how can he compete with Yang Guozhong for power? ”

"What did you say?" Li Shiniang was surprised: "He? He also has to deal with Grandpa? ”

Chen Xilie smiled bitterly, but he didn't deny it, he sighed and said: "No way, Taiwei has acted too ruthlessly in his life, and now the anger of the people is difficult to dissipate, and in this matter, I can only stand with Yang Guozhong." ”

"Is the left phase confused?" Li Tengkong said: "There are people in the world who hate Grandpa, and there must be people who follow Grandpa, this time is the wind knows the strength of the grass, which can give Zuo Xiang the opportunity to win over some people's hearts......"

"Wrong, the old man is not a strong grass." Chen Xilie interrupted, "The old man acts and pays attention to following the general trend. ”

"Phew!"

Li Shiniang was furious and smacked Chen Xilie's feet.

"Old soft bones, you are so submissive, you are only worthy of lifting shoes for people all your life, and the old lady is blind to work with you."

Chen Xilie was not angry, shook his head, and sighed: "Eleven Niang is right, you are blind and looking for such a husband." It's come to this, it's irreparable. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's late." Chen Xilie said: "You guys are late, Yang Guozhong has already completed all the human and material evidence." ”

Li Tengkong was surprised and asked, "What physical evidence?" ”

"The old man is a soft bone, but is An Lushan a soft bone? This time, even An Lushan cooperated with Yang Guozhong, and everyone put aside their prejudices to deal with Taiwei, Taiwei, this is really everyone shouting and fighting. ”
