Luo Lan had just eaten a little indiscriminately, and Ah Cai came over to tell her,

"Princess, the prince and General Liu are back."

Hearing this, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and prepared to get up, Ah Hong hurriedly persuaded her:

"Princess, you've only eaten a few bites, let's eat a little more."

After Luo Lan swallowed the food in his mouth, he raised the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"I'm full, my father and Xianggong came back early today, there must be something."

"But ......"

Ah Hong wanted to persuade her a few more words, but found that she had already run towards the main hall like a gust of wind.

Ah Hong glared at Ah Cai, frowned and accused:

"Can you look a little bit, the princess has only eaten a few bites, can't you wait for her to finish eating before returning?"

Ah Cai pouted a little aggrieved and nodded,

"Next time, remember, this time it was the princess who asked me to report in time, I didn't think about it so much."

"You ...... brain"

After glaring at Ah Cai angrily, Ah Hong quickly chased in the direction Luo Lan left, and Ah Cai nu Nu nose and followed.

Leng Yu and Liu Dechang sat in the main hall of the palace, Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi sat opposite them, and the faces of the four of them were relatively solemn.

When Luo Lan came in, he saw what they were talking about, and hurriedly asked apologetically:

"Did I disturb you?"

Leng Yu shook his head at her with a solemn face,

"Don't bother, lady, sit down!"

After Luo Lan glanced at Liu Dechang, he stepped aside and sat down.

Leng Yu continued:

"The emperor last court in ten days and a half months, this matter has made the ministers in the court quite dissatisfied, they want to impeach the emperor, and want this king and General Liu to take the lead, do you think this matter is feasible?"

Liu Dechang was the first to shake his head and said with a solemn face:

"No, although the emperor went to court for ten days and a half months, he also informed the ministers of this matter because of his physical discomfort, not maliciously not going to the court, and he did not delay the handling of the ministers' twists and turns, not to the point of abandoning the government, and now impeachment will lead people to disagree, especially your crown prince has just been abolished, and some people will say that we have ulterior motives, I don't think this matter is appropriate."

Xiao Lingzi wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his head,

"Although General Liu's words are reasonable, it can't go on like this? Now Leng Xi has taken all Wu Yuanzhang's old troops under his command, and the emperor has also instructed him to take over all the military power in Wu Hong's hands, so that he and we can go hand in hand, this is not a good thing for us, in case he launches a mutiny one day, and Concubine Li is making waves in the palace again, I am afraid we will be a little caught off guard. ”

For Xiao Lingzi's words, Xiao Shuangzi nodded in agreement,

"Brother Ling is right, Leng Xi is now more and more fearless, his Megatron Gang is recruiting wise men all over the country, and the amount of silver they offer is far three times higher than that of our Rebirth Hall, in this way, the people who come to our Rebirth Hall are all relying on the prestige of the prince, but most people will still go for a high amount of silver, and when Concubine Li ascends to the back seat, he will not turn the sky upside down? When the time comes, we will definitely become a thorn in his eye, and he will not let us stay stable like this. ”

After Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi finished speaking, the place was quiet for a while.

Leng Yu's face was gloomy, and there was an unclear look in his pupils.

Liu Dechang has always had a black face, although he is dissatisfied with the emperor's current state, he still treats it very rationally, the emperor is still the emperor after all, and it is not wise to go to the court to impeach him.

Luo Lan heard what they were discussing clearly, but he didn't know how to express his opinion, which was not a trivial matter, and it could not be said casually without careful consideration.

Just when everyone was silent, Zhang Yuan walked in quickly, bowed down and hugged his fists:

"Lord Wang, General Liu, at noon, someone went to Shuntianfu to report the case, saying that a dead body was found outside the city, and after comparison, it was Shangshu Li Fu."

Hearing this, Liu Dechang got up from the chair suddenly, frowned and waved his hand:

"Li Fu is dead? Can you find out how he died? ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The preliminary judgment is that he died by hanging." ”

"Impossible."

Liu Dechang flicked his sleeves angrily, because he was angry, his face became iron-blue, and he said hatefully:

"When he went to court a few days ago, he and I worked together to prevent Concubine Li from being sealed, and it was only a few days before he hanged himself? It could never have been an accident, someone must have done it on purpose. ”

Leng Yu's eyes suddenly tightened, and his eyes were dyed with a touch of surprise.

"Li Shangshu is an official of the Zhengerpin Imperial Court, Shuntian Mansion is not qualified to hear this matter, this matter will be reported to the emperor, and then handed over to the Criminal Department to investigate, I will go to the Criminal Department now to see, Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, the two of you go to Li Shangshu's house to have a look, ask him about his current situation, is there any possibility of hanging himself."

Seeing that he was leaving, Luo Lan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him,

"Xianggong, it's getting late, let's go again tomorrow."

Liu Dechang also nodded there and said, "Yes, if you go in such a hurry, there will definitely be no result, it is estimated that this will not yet arrive at the Criminal Department, and it will not be too late to go again tomorrow morning." ”

Leng Yu thought for a while, wrinkled his brows and nodded,

"It's because I don't think about it, I heard that Li Shangshu died, and I suspect that someone has harmed him, so I'm in a hurry, then I'll go to the Criminal Department early tomorrow morning, and you guys will go to Li Shangshu's house as usual to see if there is anything you need help with, and try to help."

After Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi received the order, they quickly retreated, Liu Dechang just got up to leave, but was stopped by Luo Lan,

"Dad, don't go back tonight, my mother has been talking about you these days, you stay."

Although Liu Dechang was concerned about national affairs, he still nodded and agreed.

He sighed and said helplessly:

"It's ridiculous to think that I, Liu Dechang, have been fighting horses all my life, but I don't even dare to expose my women and daughters to the world, and I want them to hide them."

Seeing that his mood was a little low, Luo Lan hurriedly took two steps forward and comforted him softly:

"Dad, catch up with this special period, you can't be blamed for this, my mother understands you very well, she has never blamed you, the only way we can protect them is to hide them first, and then explain this matter to the emperor when the right time comes, don't blame yourself too much."

Liu Dechang opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but he finally held back.

He flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, left the main hall of the palace and went straight to the backyard......

Leng Yu was still sitting there, although his face was calm, it was a little cold.

Luo Lan came to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice:

"Xianggong, what are you thinking?"

Leng Yu raised his hand, held the hand on his shoulder, and said with a serious expression:

"I always feel that Li Shangshu's death has another mystery, he can't hang himself, someone must have persecuted him, or someone assassinated him."

His words made Luo Lan's hand tremble, if that was the case, it would be a very terrible thing.

Her pretty eyebrows knickked together in an instant, "Could it be Concubine Li?" Or is it Cold Creek? ”

"Huh!"

Leng Yu sneered, his eyes revealing a cold color,

"Li Shangshu is blocking their way, they want to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and no one will dare to stop Concubine Li from ascending to the back seat in the future."

"If this is really the case, then their courage is really too great, we must not sit idly by, otherwise, maybe they will think about attacking Dad and you one day."

Leng Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were cold.
