Records of the King of Xin'an County

Not to mention how the three concubine Yang Xianfei fought in the Tai Chi Palace, Li Hui and Princess Changning consulted Queen Du for advice, and then they split up.Princess Changning is in charge of continuing to investigate Duke Huai's former servants, and even the people around Concubine Yang must be carefully investigated.Originally there were people who had served the eldest princess Anxing, but these people went out of the palace to the princess mansion in the early years, and now there is no one in ten, and it is difficult to find out.

Li Hui then returned to Prince Pu's mansion, discussed with Wang Zixian and arranged an investigation outside the palace.Princess Changning was acting in the palace, and with Empress Du covering her up, she probably wouldn't attract the attention of Princess Anxing.But there are many eyeliners of Princess Anxing buried outside the palace, and she must not be allowed to know any news.Therefore, the investigation of Imperial Doctor Yao and the related doctors, medicine boys, etc. can only be done by Wang Zixian secretly sending someone to complete.

Li Hui also immediately wrote to Princess Pu Yan and Chu Princess Su, inquiring about what happened back then.These two elders have always heard the string songs and know the elegant meaning, so they will definitely try their best to recall and tell him more details.Regarding the matter of Duke Huai, no one in the imperial family had ever doubted it, so they never thought about it in detail.Looking back on the past carefully now, perhaps we can find out more little things that were overlooked at the time.

After that, Li Hui looked for another opportunity to meet Yue Wang Li Heng.While waiting for Li Heng in the study, he remembered Empress Du's euphemistic point - even if the matter had to be reported to the saint as soon as possible, it was necessary to find a suitable time.Otherwise, as a junior, investigating the elder's affairs without authorization, and then suing the elder for misconduct, is suspected of being unfilial and disrespectful.Because Princess Changning is deeply favored by the sage, maybe a reprimand is enough.But Li Hui is only a nephew after all, so it will inevitably make the saint suspicious and jealous.

Now that things have happened, how can I clean myself out of this matter?

All Li Hui and Wang Zixian could think of was to find the family members of Imperial Doctor Yao and let them "claim their grievances".Of course, timing is not a problem. If the Yao family really resented Princess Anxing, they would be willing to cooperate.And starting from this matter to investigate Princess Anxing, it can be regarded as a suitable excuse for the saint.

Even if this happened many years ago and the evidence is not sufficient, at least there will be a chance to arrest the people around Princess Anxing for interrogation, right?As for what can be interrogated at that time, it only depends on what the saint wants to achieve.

At the same time, they also need the help of Yue Wang Li Heng.The Yue Palace and the Pu Palace are in the same situation, they are connected with each other, and they should advance and retreat together.Only with the timely help of the second world father can they make up for the loopholes they didn't consider carefully.After all, ginger is still old and spicy.In the palace, Empress Du can cover them up and simply fiddle with the wind and rain; outside the palace, they also need the full assistance of a reliable elder.

"Is that so?" After listening to what he said, Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and sighed, "The fourth brother has always been kind. If he knew it underground, it was because of him that An Xing made the same mistakes again and again." , must be extremely sad. As for his death, all of us brothers and sisters are very sad. But unexpectedly, An Xing has always thought that way in his heart..."

"Second father, the wrong things done by Princess Anxing have nothing to do with fourth uncle, and it is definitely not his fault. It is all because of her narrow temperament and lack of blood and family affection in her heart." Li Hui continued, "However, these are mostly just my nephew's conjectures. It will take some time to investigate before we can get enough evidence. My nephew is hesitating whether to report to my uncle so that he can be more careful."

Li Heng pondered for a while, nodded his head and said: "Naturally, we have to report to the saint, and the sooner the better. As for the Yao family, I will send someone to help you find them. If Imperial Doctor Yao is a smart person, he must have already guessed what happened to him. Because of whom, they will never sit still. The Yao family... maybe they are also waiting for this opportunity..."

When Imperial Physician Yao was exiled to Lingnan a few years ago, it was just before and after Empress Wende became seriously ill.Although the first emperor was still alive at that time, he probably didn't have the mind to take care of other things at that time.And Princess Anxing is a very favored noble lord, so if she wanted to come to the Yao family, of course she would not dare to come out and call for grievances.What's more, it was another noble who came forward to embarrass them, and they had no evidence of Princess Anxing's involvement in this matter.

"What if you haven't found anyone for a while?" Li Hui didn't want to delay the matter for too long.Otherwise, if the eldest princess Anxing finds out, new right and wrong will definitely arise.What's more, Princess Anxing and the rebellious clan seem to be preparing for some big event. If they can't disrupt their plans with this matter, he is worried that even bigger accidents will happen.

"It's limited to half a month." Li Heng glanced at him and said indifferently, "After half a month, the Yao family will naturally come out and find Yue Niang to complain. Yue Niang will just tell the saint and His Royal Highness the matter bluntly. Yes." This matter can only be led by Princess Changning, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the saint.

"...Nephew understands." Li Hui said, "Second Father doesn't need to do anything, let nephew arrange it privately." He always felt that the more the Yue Palace moved, the more dangerous it would be.At least he still has the part of the prince's private adoption, no matter what he does, it will not remind people of Prince Pu's mansion.

Li Heng lowered his eyes, and took out a Yin-Yang Pisces pendant from his sleeve and gave it to him: "There are only 30 people in total, and I will leave it to you for now. With their help, you can be regarded as a big help." After finishing speaking, he paused, Fang said again: "These people don't even know about Qianli and Jingxing, so feel free to use them."

Li Hui was very surprised, only felt that the double fish pendant was heavy, and seemed to burn his hands: "Second father, this double fish pendant, my nephew cannot take it." It's not that I dare not take it, but I can't take it.This is the most secret private soldier of Prince Yue's Mansion. As a member of Prince Pu's Mansion, even if he is temporarily borrowed, it is a bit hot.

"I let you take it, so you take it." Li Heng sighed, "In the end, you just have to believe that I will not harm you. And I also believe that you will never use these private soldiers to endanger Yue Palace." He can't say that there are dozens of people in this area. He is not at ease with Li Wei, who has many eyes and ears, and Li Jing, who has never been able to hide his selfishness, and he is not at ease with those bastards. Let Linghui's nephew take this kind of words.

"..." Li Hui was stunned, and made a big salute to him, "Thank you, Second Father." He never thought that he could gain the wholehearted trust of this elder.From the beginning to the end, he actually did nothing, he just treated his cousin Li Jing sincerely, taught him occasionally, and fulfilled his duties as a cousin.

However, for Li Heng, this nephew has done enough.Maybe it’s because he grew up in Junzhou, maybe it’s because of the deep friendship between him and his elder brother Li Xin, maybe it’s because he stayed with the late emperor for a while and was deeply infected—he is not like many royal families and nobles The aristocratic family puts their interests first and despises blood and family ties.Such a character is already extremely rare, so why not indulge himself once and entrust his trust completely?

After Li Hui bid farewell and left, Princess Wang of Yue came to the study with ginseng soup.While Li Heng was drinking the ginseng soup slowly, she couldn't help but said: "Erlang, our Wulang (Li Jing)'s official date should be fixed. Earlier, I asked people to go to the temple to divination for several auspicious days. Which one do you think is better?" ?”

"Just wait another month or two." Li Heng said indifferently, "It's not too late to choose a date when it's mid-autumn." If the Yao family can really shake Princess Anxing, the winner must have been decided by then. up.Although there are still people in the clan who have murderous intentions towards the Yue Palace, the fall of Princess Anxing is like killing chickens and monkeys, so they should be bluffed.

Half a month later, Wang Zixian had already found out all the experiences of the Yao family in these years, and also found their clues, but he still couldn't find anyone.After all, the time is too short, the trilogy sent to Lingnan is probably still walking on the post road with the caravan of the He family, and has not yet reached the land of Lingnan.As for whether Imperial Doctor Yao is dead or alive, and whether he is still in Lingnan, it is also unknown.

Thinking of Li Heng's warning, Li Hui didn't hesitate, and immediately used the yin and yang double fish pendant, and sure enough, he found a "young son of the Yao family".This person is only ten years old, very similar in age and appearance to the youngest son of the Yao family, and he knows everything about the Yao family well.Coupled with the things that Wang Zixian found out, they can be faked.After all, when the Yao family had an accident, the youngest son was only six or seven years old.Now he has grown into a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, which is quite different from before.Even if Yao's family and other relatives came forward to point out, it would be difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

_________________________________________________________________________________

However, just when Princess Changning was about to report the matter to the sage Yao's family, good news came out again and again from the palace.Beauty Yang Baniang and Yuan Cairen Yuan Wuniang both diagnosed the Ximai one after the other.Not to mention how Concubine Yang Xian accidentally broke the teacup, and Concubine Yuan Shu beamed with smiles. After hearing the report from the imperial physician of the Shangyao Bureau, Empress Du immediately informed the saint about it with joy.

The sage couldn't hide his smile, and stroked his short mustache: "Zitong, when the prince is born next year, you can choose a smarter one to raise under your knees." Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen are both so young, how do they know how to teach good children? ?In his opinion, in the entire Taiji Palace, only Empress Du taught the children the best.

Hearing this, Empress Du frowned slightly, looking more and more gentle: "... Wulang, when Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen came here to say hello, they both had such satisfied smiles on their faces... As a mother, concubine I really can't bear to take away their children..."

The sage shook his head and held her soft hand: "They are still young, why worry about not having other children in the future?"

Empress Du lowered her eyes: "Concubine is not the only one who wants to raise a child. If Wu Lang treats one more than another... I will feel very sorry."

Although she didn't say it outright, she hinted it clearly enough.The saint also suddenly remembered: "I was negligent. The reason why Concubine Shu brought her niece into the palace was for the child in her womb. If Zi Tong had a child, Concubine Shu might be dissatisfied in her heart. And Xian Concubine, I should wish that Yang Meiren can't support this child. Forget it, Yuan Cairen's child is fine, if Yang Meiren gives birth to a prince, I will hand it over to you to raise."

"... Beauty Yang is the daughter of the Hongnong County Government..." Empress Du said again, "They will not give up their good-looking grandson to a concubine." Hongnong County Government is looking forward to it. If the prince born to his own daughter knew the news, how could he be willing?Even if she wanted to raise a concubine and give him the status of a concubine in the future, she definitely didn't want to raise a child with the blood of the Yang family.There is no other reason. With the Yang family here, there are too many variables, and it is very likely that it will be unfavorable to her two daughters.

The sage had a half-smile and said, "My prince, I should be the master. How dare the Yang family dare to speak up?" Just in time, he also felt that Yang Shijing and Yang Qianguang's behavior was becoming more and more inappropriate when they were invited.If it wasn't for Yang Qian's inexperience, how could he tolerate their unruly thoughts?You might as well use this matter to try the Yang family, and also explore the bottom line of Yang Meiren, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

"It's my concubine's intentions." Empress Du smiled, "It's been a long time since I've heard a baby cry in the palace. I really wish that the day will be ripe."
