Are you in the Shura field today?

Lin Qiwu's guarantee settled Li Zuoqing's concern. She even began to doubt it reasonably, because the plot had changed a bit, so the eldest prince couldn't make it happen at all. The daughter succeeded to the throne and married Qingmei as the queen.

Because she is not the most important military general Wen Cheng in the court, she is not an opponent of the imperial guards at all, and she is completely worthy

Everyone relaxed, and she also took a breath, and ran away after successfully completing the task.

So Li Zuoqing really let go of half of his vigilance, although he still sent people to continue to monitor Li Zuomu's movements, but the other party never made any trouble.

By the time her confinement time is over, it's time for the Awakening of Insects.

Li Zuoqing thought about it, it seemed that the eldest prince's birthday was coming soon, Yu Li, she was going to Jingyang Palace to show her face.

And when she recalled this time last year, complicated and lonely emotions rose in her heart.

Last year's eldest prince's birthday party was the day when the original owner brought Wen Mingran back.

But after a year, things have changed.

The person Li Zuoqing sent to investigate the eldest prince also said that he did not see any attendants who looked like Wen Mingran beside Li Zuomu.

It's useless to think about these things, maybe the other party has already retired and hidden in the rivers and lakes, and doesn't even bother to see her.

Even if you come to see her, it's not a good thing.

She remembered the system's advice, asking her to stab Li Zuomu in the back with Wen Mingran's hand.

"Let's see when the time comes." Li Zuoqing chose to lie flat on the Taishi chair.

Two days later, as expected, Jingyang Palace's birthday invitation card was delivered to the Princess Mansion.

just go.Li Zuoqing threw it to Lanshuang without looking at it.

"Your Highness, the above words are the same as last year." Lan Shuang reminded her.

"Got it." Li Zuoqing said casually.

Isn't it just to remind her that there is something new and interesting? Could it be that he is going to create another Lin Qiwu No. [-] to seduce her?

No, the First Prince shouldn't be that stupid.Li Zuoqing was amused by his own imagination.

After all, she has already been given a marriage by the emperor, no matter how courageous the other party is, he will not dare to put another beauty in her arms.

Then she wants to see what new tricks the other party can play.

On the day of the eldest prince's birthday, Li Zuoqing gave Xin Fei a note before leaving Fengyang Pavilion as he had done in the past few days.

Di Kun also knew where she was going today, and the worries of last night were almost overflowing, as if what Li Zuoqing was going to was not the brother's banquet, but some kind of execution ground.

She comforted Xin Fei's emotions patiently and repeatedly, only to eliminate her unnecessary worries.

Before going out, Lin Qiwu told her that the prime minister had also received the invitation, but in order to avoid suspicion, the Lin family made up a reason and declined.

Li Zuoqing also understood in his heart that this was Lin Qiwu's hint that the prime minister was not on the side of the eldest prince.

Before Zhu Lun got up in the sedan chair, Lin Qiwu's eyes were full of worries, so much so that Li Zuoqing went on the road for a long time, still sighing, these dikun were all afraid of her, how could he be so weak? I just went to have a meal It's just rice.

She took her seat calmly, talking with her elder brother and the guests as usual.

There is no problem with singing, dancing, opera, and fine wine and food. Even the maids who are close to me are separated by Lan Shuang and Lu Shiwei.

The day is as usual.

It was the most normal situation she had expected.

At this moment, it seemed that she and the eldest prince were not successors who were competing for imperial power, but brothers and sisters with ordinary friendship.

Of course, this was just a superficial disguise. At the banquet, Li Zuoqing was not even drunk.

But there will be no more people and things to hook her mind. Until sunset, she was so sure.

At dusk, the guests had almost left, Li Zuoqing also thought about packing up and leaving, so he went to find Li Zuomu who was smiling in front of Jinghe Palace.

"Don't worry, imperial sister, didn't you say that there is something you are interested in?" Li Zuomu whispered to her while saying goodbye to others.

The kindness made Li Zuoqing get goosebumps.

"I've had my eyes full today, so I won't bother you any more."

Li Zuomu shook his head and looked at her mysteriously, "I haven't shown the main drama to my dear imperial sister yet."

Li Zuoqing couldn't think about what kind of medicine would be sold in the gourd of the "main drama".

She waited patiently for another minute, hoping that her elder brother would find out with his conscience, reflect on himself and admit his mistakes as soon as possible and be given a lighter punishment as soon as possible.

But when the guests in the door were almost gone, Li Zuomu turned around with relief, and said a name to Li Zuoqing in a voice that only two people could hear, "Wen Mingran."

Sure enough, Li Zuoqing's reaction was as he expected, deliberately suppressed surprise, and not overly revealing worry.

It seems that keeping that Dikun alive was the right choice.

"Where is she?" Li Zuoqing asked quite decisively.

If the eldest prince doesn't tell her, she can also pay part of the price

But Li Zuomu quickly replied, "I don't mind telling you about her in the private room on the third floor of Furong Barn tonight."

Li Zuoqing looked at him coldly, "I'm going to meet someone now."

After finishing speaking, he added annoyedly, "And I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

It's not that she can't ask herself if there is anything.

Li Zuomu was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I will give in."

He stuffed a wooden sign for Li Zuoqing, with the word "Li" drawn on it in beautiful handwriting, and explained, "She is in Li Fang Xiaoju, so you can see her with this."

Li Zuoqing took the wooden card suspiciously, and rushed to the place Li Zuomu said with his attendants without saying a word.

"Don't say thank you?" Li Zuomu was still joking behind her back.

Thank you for your size.

Thank him for placing a good assassin by his side, or thank him for putting Wen Mingran under house arrest until now

Li Zuoqing was furious in his heart, and his steps were also walking fast.

When the figure of the eldest princess disappeared in Jingyang Palace, Li Zuomu turned around pretending to have a headache, and said to the remaining guests in the palace, "Afterwards, please testify to me. The imperial sister has already left Jingyang Palace on her own. Didn't keep it."

Li Fang Xiaoju is not far from the imperial palace. It is a little-known discussion room, but it is also within the management scope of the imperial palace, and most of the people who receive it are either rich or noble.

After Li Zuoqing arrived with his attendants, the guards behind him were stopped.

"Only those who carry wooden signs can enter." The guard at the door said.

Hearing this, Lan Shuang and Lu Shiwei were a little excited, and they were willing to let Li Zuoqing go in alone.

"Your Highness, let's come again on another day, or when we are more prepared."

"That's right, if it's a trap to go in, how should my subordinates explain to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"His Royal Highness's own safety is the most important thing. According to my subordinates, this time is not enough to take risks."

The three were deadlocked, but Li Zuoqing was still stubborn.

"No," she shook her head, "There may not be a chance next time."

From Li Zuomu's attitude, she can't feel the slightest bit of respect for Wen Mingran. Perhaps Wen Mingran was allowed to see her this time to test Wen Mingran's final value. If Li Zuoqing doesn't accept this trap, The next time the eldest prince is in a bad mood, maybe he will throw him away.

"Li Fang Xiaoju has been replaced by someone inside the palace, and has a close relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there will be no serious problems." Li Zuoqing tried to reassure the two of them.

"But"

"It's such a small room." Li Zuoqing compared his palms and said in a relaxed tone, "Even if I'm in danger, you can save me in time."

"Well..." as soon as Li Zuoqing said that he was in danger, Lanshuang choked up in fear.

"In that case, I'll go in for a while, half an hour is up and I haven't come out yet, so you come to me." Li Zuoqing patted the two on the shoulders, then turned and walked towards the guard at the door.

"You can only enter with a wooden sign" has always been the rule of Li Fang Xiaoju. The wooden sign is only six yuan in total. If one person does not use it, it is easy to give it to another person. Next, if it is not an appointment, even a person will not come.

Because he knew the origin of this, Li Zuoqing didn't have too many doubts.

After seeing her wooden sign, the guards let her pass.

Li Zuoqing heard Lanshuang calling her softly behind her, but she hadn't seen anyone when she turned her head, the overlapping and fast closing doors blocked her sight.

So she had to go inside.

At the end of a long and narrow corridor are two facing discussion rooms. The classic pressed wooden doors are carved with patterns of harvest grains, and the light and yellowed window paper reveals the light of indoor candle lamps.

Only the one on the left is lit.

But Li Zuoqing felt a little scared for some reason.

Her hand was close to the edge of the door, but she was suddenly afraid of the scene of pushing it away.

"crunch"

She didn't move, but the door moved by itself.

wrong.

Li Zuoqing opened his eyes wide, and found that the door in front of him had not been moved at all.

She turned around quickly, but the people behind her attacked faster than her.
