Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Luo Lan had just eaten a little indiscriminately when A Cai came over and told her,

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

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

"Princess, you only took a few mouthfuls, eat some more."

After Luo Lan swallowed the food in her mouth, she raised the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth,

"I'm full. Dad and my husband came back early today, so there must be something going on."

"But……"

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

A Hong glared at A Cai, frowned and accused:

"Can you give me a wink, the princess has only eaten a few mouthfuls of food, can't you wait for her to finish eating before reporting back?"

A Cai pouted a little aggrieved and nodded,

"Remember next time, this time the princess asked me to report in time, so I didn't think about it so much."

"Your brain..."

After A Hong glared at A Cai angrily, she quickly chased in the direction Luo Lan left. A Cai nudged her nose and followed.

Leng Yu and Liu Dechang sat in the main hall of the palace, while Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi sat opposite them, all four of them had solemn expressions.

When Luo Lan came in, seeing what they were talking about, she hurriedly asked apologetically:

"Am I bothering you?"

Leng Yu shook his head at her solemnly,

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

After Luo Lan glanced at Liu Dechang, she walked to the side 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 solemnly:

"No, although the emperor last court in ten and a half months, he informed the ministers of the matter because of his physical discomfort. It's not that he didn't want to go to court with malice. Besides, he didn't delay in processing the ministers' memorials, and he didn't go to the point of ruining the government. Impeachment now will make people dissatisfied, especially when your crown prince has just been abolished, and some people will say that we have ulterior motives, and I think it is inappropriate to do this."

Xiao Lingzi frowned, and shook his head there,

"Although General Liu's words are reasonable, it won't work if it continues like this? Now that Lengxi has taken all of Wu Yuanzhang's old troops under his command, the emperor has also authorized him to take over all the military power in Wu Hong's hands. If this continues, he and us This is not a good thing for us, if one day he launches a mutiny and Concubine Li makes trouble in the palace again, we may be caught off guard."

For Xiao Lingzi's words, the little twins nodded in agreement,

"Brother Ling is right. Lengxi is becoming more and more confident now. His Megatron Gang is recruiting wise men from all over the country, and the salary they offer is three times higher than that of our rebirth hall. In this way, when we come to rebirth The people in the hall all come here relying on your prestige, lord, but most of them will still go for the high salary. When Concubine Li ascends the throne, will he not be turned upside down? When the time comes we It will definitely become a thorn in his eye, he will not let us go on like this."

After Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi finished talking, the place became quiet for a while.

Leng Yu's face was gloomy, and there was an expression of ambiguity in his pupils.

Liu Dechang kept his face dark all the time. Although he was dissatisfied with the current state of the emperor, he still treated it rationally. After all, the emperor is still the emperor. It is not wise to impeach him rashly.

Luo Lan heard clearly what they were discussing, but she didn't know how to express her opinion. This is not a trivial matter, and one cannot speak casually without careful consideration.

When everyone was silent, Zhang Yuan walked in quickly, bowed and cupped his fists and said:

"My lord, General Liu, at noon, someone went to Shuntian Mansion to report a case, saying that a dead body was found outside the city. After comparison, it was Shangshu Li Fu."

Hearing this, Liu Dechang stood up from the chair, frowned and waved:

"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 himself."

"impossible."

Liu Dechang shook his sleeves angrily, his face turned livid because of anger, and he said in a hateful voice:

"A few days ago when he went to court, he and I prevented Concubine Li from being sealed up. He hanged himself in just a few days? This can't be an accident, someone must have done it on purpose."

Leng Yu's eyes suddenly tightened, and his eyes were stained with surprise,

"Li Shangshu is an official of the second grade 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 Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation. I will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to have a look now, little Lingzi, little twins, you two Go to Li Shangshu's house to have a look and ask him about his recent situation, if there is any possibility of hanging himself."

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

"Sir, it's getting late, let's go tomorrow."

Liu Dechang also nodded there and said yes, "Yes, if you leave in such a hurry, there will definitely be no results. I guess this meeting has not yet reached the Ministry of Punishment. It will not be too late to go again tomorrow morning."

Leng Yu thought for a while, frowned and nodded,

"I didn't think twice. I heard that Li Shangshu passed away, and I suspected that someone killed him, so I was in a hurry. Then go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice tomorrow morning. You go to Li Shangshu's house as usual, see if there is anything that needs help, and try to help. "

After Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi took the order, they retreated quickly. Liu Dechang just got up to leave when Luo Lan stopped him.

"Father, don't go back tonight, mother has been thinking about you these days, you should stay."

Although Liu Dechang had national affairs in mind, he still nodded in agreement.

He sighed and said helplessly:

"Thinking of my life as a soldier, Liu Dechang, I didn't even dare to reveal my own women and daughters to the world, and let them hide it. It's ridiculous."

Seeing that his mood was a little depressed, Luo Lan quickly stepped forward two steps, and softly comforted him:

"Father, in this special period, I can't blame you. Mother understands you very well. She has never blamed you. The only way we can protect them is to hide them first and explain to the emperor when the time is right. Don't blame yourself too much for this."

Liu Dechang opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but finally held back.

He flicked his sleeves, with 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, but there was a bit of coldness.

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

"Sir, 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 there is another mystery behind Li Shangshu's death. He couldn't have hanged himself. Someone must have persecuted him or assassinated him."

What he said made Luo Lan's hands tremble. If this was the case, it would be a very terrible thing.

Her pretty eyebrows knit together in an instant, "Could it be Concubine Li? Or Lengxi?"

"Ah!"

Leng Yu sneered, with a cold look in his eyes,

"Li Shangshu blocked their way. They wanted to kill a chicken for the monkeys to see. No one would dare to stop Concubine Li from ascending the throne in the future."

"If this is the case, then they are really courageous. We must not sit idly by, otherwise, maybe one day they will think of attacking father and you."

Leng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his brows and eyes were icy cold.
