Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Li Chengyue, who is being cared about by Aunt Zhao, has been in distress recently.

Li Pengxuan has been imprisoned for a long time.

Jingzhao Prefecture has been dragging its feet on the trial.

Li Chengyue went to look for the man who was beaten by Li Pengxuan and found out that the man was actually a member of the royal family.

Li Chengyue was so scared that he didn't dare to run around asking for help anymore.

After returning home, Li Wu fought with him every day and was miserable.

As soon as he got home today, Li Wu grabbed him again and asked him to save Li Pengxuan.

"I'm just a poor scholar, who would listen to me? Your son beat up a member of the royal family, how can I save him?" Li Chengyue brushed away Li Wu's hand, feeling full of grievances.

"We can't let my Pengxuan spend the New Year in jail, can we?" Mrs. Li Wu regretted it very much now.

In the past, when she encountered problems, she could go back to her parents' home and cry about it, and her brother-in-law's wife would at least comfort her.

Now, because of Wu Fangfei, she has severed ties with her natal family.

Her brothers from her natal family pretended not to see her.

My son was locked up again.

Why is her life so miserable?

Thinking of Pengxuan, her only son, Mrs. Li Wu burst into tears.

"Li Jinglan is so cruel that she won't even see you. We have raised her for more than ten years in vain. If we had known she would be like this, we should have strangled her to death."

When Li Wu mentioned Li Jinglan, Li Chengyue was annoyed and angry. "Didn't Feng Xian also not help? I've said it several times, your son is beating a royal family, who dares to help?"

"How can they be the same? Feng Xian wants to help but can't, while Li Jinglan can help but doesn't want to." Li Wu retorted and cursed, "She is just as ungrateful as her mother, a bitch, and a worthless person."

"Believe it or not, if you continue to make trouble, our family of three will have to spend the New Year in jail." Li Chengyue was annoyed by Li Wu's unreasonable behavior.

Mrs. Li Wu stopped crying immediately and asked, "What should I do?"

"How would I know what to do?" Li Chengyue retorted.

What can a family like them do when faced with something like this?

We can only leave it to fate!

Now the only thing he was thankful for was that the royal family member did not cause trouble for him.

"Son, it's not that I won't save you..."

Dad has no power to protect himself!

Li Chengyue sighed in his heart.

As Li Chengyue sighed, more and more memorials impeaching Prince Hong Qing were submitted to the court.

Prince Hong Qing didn't take it seriously at first.

But when the impeachment memorials gradually mentioned the incident of the Jiangnan Salt Field, Prince Hongqing became a little panicked.

The Jiangnan Salt Field is his foundation.

He could collect a lot of silver from the Jiangnan salt fields every year.

If the matter of Jiangnan Salt Field was exposed, he would be finished.

Thinking of this, Prince Hongqing hurried to find King Zhao.

King Zhao has also been troubled by this matter recently.

"Everything about the impeachment is traceable. Could it be that someone close to you betrayed you?"

King Zhao said so.

Prince Hongqing shook his head when he heard this: "No, they are all well fed with money from me, who would betray me?"

As he said this, a figure suddenly flashed across Prince Hong Qing's eyes.

Lu Shenyan.

Lu Shenyan has remained silent since returning from Jiangnan and has not expressed any opinions on the affairs of Jiangnan.

Could it be Lu Shenyan?

Not long after, Li Jinglan heard the news: Lu Shenyan was attacked.

"Uncle was attacked? Was he injured?" Li Jinglan stood up in surprise. "Should we go over to check on him?"

"Uncle is fine, he was just frightened." Lu Bozhou assured Li Jinglan.

Then he talked about what happened in the court, "Many people suspect that it was Prince Hongqing who did this."

After listening to Lu Bozhou's words, Li Jinglan pondered for a long time.

First, he got into trouble when the porridge stall he was distributing was smashed by Prince Wei, and then he was involved in the incident of Lu Shenyan's injury because of the Jiangnan Salt Field.

Is Prince Hong Qing so stupid?

Li Jinglan was trying hard to think about her past life.

It seems that in his previous life, Crown Prince Hong Qing was stripped of his title of crown prince and demoted to a commoner because of some things before Lu Bozhou entered the Eastern Palace.

She couldn't remember exactly why.

In her previous life, she had been living in Nanli County, and only moved to the capital after her daughter grew up.

Due to the low status of the Xia family, the people they can interact with are limited.

After thinking for a while, Li Jinglan asked Lu Bozhou in a low voice: "What is the relationship between Prince Zhao and Prince Hongqing?"

Lu Bozhou shook his head. "I don't know. Prince Hongqing never attends court. He just goes to the National History Museum every day. I heard that he has a gentle temperament. I can't find out anything else about him."

Then, Lu Bozhou remembered something: "The King of Zhao has no legitimate son."

"The Princess of Zhao has never given birth. The dozen or so children of the King of Zhao were all born to his concubines and other wives."

"I heard that King Zhao favors the eighth son more."

The King of Zhao is a few years older than the Emperor.

Prince Hongqing is already in his thirties.

According to Lu Bozhou's age, the emperor had a son when he was in his thirties?

An emperor who was in his thirties and still had no offspring must have been very distressed during those years.

"Can you find a way to find out what happened in the past? For example, what happened when Your Majesty didn't have a son?" Li Jinglan said softly.

Lu Bozhou nodded.

During the Laba Festival, Lu Bozhou found some clues while flipping through imperial edicts in the Hanlin Academy.

"Your Majesty made a note in the memorial to the emperor urging him to be adopted, saying that the Prince of Jin was like a son or a brother."

The corners of Li Jinglan's eyes shrank.

I feel like a lot of things that I couldn't understand before are now clear to me.

When the emperor had no son in his early years, he was forced by his ministers to adopt a son.

His response was King of Jin.

So for a period of time, Prince Jin was treated as the crown prince.

Until later, the emperor gave birth to a son, and then the son disappeared.

Li Jinglan had a terrible guess in her mind.

Maybe a lot of people were involved in what happened eighteen years ago.

Whether active or passive.

Almost everyone in the court participated.

"Were all those people who broke into the imperial palace eighteen years ago members of the Red Lotus Cult?" Li Jinglan asked Lu Bozhou again.

Lu Bozhou knew about this matter: "Not all of them are from the Red Lotus Sect, there is also Zuo Wuwei."

Eighteen years ago, Zuo Wuwei guarded the defense of the capital.

The Zuowu Guard, who were responsible for guarding the capital's defense, suddenly attacked the imperial palace?

What happened back then that led to such serious consequences?

"What excuse did the Red Lotus Cult and the Left Guard use to attack the imperial palace?" There must be a legitimate excuse to attack the imperial palace?

You can't just barge in and kill the emperor.

There's no way to end this by killing him.

The name is not justified.

Lu Bozhou shook his head: "This is also strange. Their slogan is to kill the tyrant."

"I'll investigate further." Lu Bozhou felt that this excuse was not convincing even to himself.

Before Lu Bozhou started investigating, something happened in the court that attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Shenyan impeached King Zhao.

"The King of Zhao accepted tributes from salt merchants and privately issued salt permits to them... In the salt-rich area of ​​Jiangnan, salt permits can earn tens of millions of taels a year, and the King of Zhao alone received a million taels of tribute... The relatives of the Zhao family assisted the tyrant..."

Lu Shenyan threw out a long list of evidence, "I beg you to execute the King of Zhao! I beg you to execute Lord Zhao!"
