I came back from the palace and went straight to Xiaofeng's courtyard.As soon as she saw me, she asked anxiously: "Your Majesty is really missing?"

I nodded, sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Then how can you still sit still?"

"Xiaofeng, the more urgent it is, the less messy it is."

She was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard... Your Majesty was taken away in Mingyufang?"

"Yes."

"What is Your Majesty going to Mingyufang for?"

I squinted my eyes and asked Xiang Yongniang: "Who did the Crown Princess see today?"

"Returning to Your Highness, this morning, Zhao Liangdi said she was paying New Year's greetings to the Crown Princess, and came in a bow dress, sat for a while and then left."

"What did you ask?"

"Ask about the outing between the princess and the prince yesterday."

Sure enough, there is no impenetrable wall.I nodded and said, "In the future, when she comes, you don't have to see her. Just say it's my oral order."

"This...?" A strange look flashed across Yong Niang's face, she was probably surprised, then her complexion eased, and a little bit of joy appeared, she nodded in agreement.On the other hand, Xiaofeng said with a puzzled expression: "You didn't let me see her in the past, but now you don't let her see me... After this dictation, Zhao Liangdi must bring the palace servants to kill her. Sometimes I really don't know that you are here What are you thinking?"

I said lightly: "Not only will you not be allowed to see her, but you will not be allowed to see anyone until His Majesty returns."

"You!" She frowned and became angry: "What does your Majesty's captivity have to do with me?!"

"I'm protecting you."

"It's obviously under house arrest..."

I said sternly: "Xiaofeng, you have been staying in the East Palace for the past few days, don't go out, and don't see other people. Did you hear that?"

"I heard..." She answered carelessly and lazily.As soon as I saw this look, I knew she was thinking of sneaking out at night again.I didn't care about it either, I took off my coat and hugged her and said, "I haven't slept all night, I want to lie down for a while."

She took my arm off my shoulder and said, "Go back to your own bedroom and sleep, it's spacious and quiet, no one will bother you."

I yawned and said, "No, I came to you. I'm tired and sleepy, and I can't walk anymore."

Putting his chin into the hollow of her neck, he gently pushed her towards the inner hall.

She wanted to break free, but I caught her hand.He said softly, "I'm really tired."

She was very obedient until she lay down in the brocade quilt, she didn't make any noise, and she didn't push me away. The fragrance from her body penetrated into my nostrils, making me sleepy, and I almost fell asleep immediately after touching the pillow. up.

When I woke up, Xiaofeng was not in my arms, and I walked outside, only to hear the noise in the front yard, and the faint voice of Zhao Sesu.Yong Niang earnestly persuaded Xiao Feng not to go out in the outer hall.She twisted her veil angrily and was parting from Yong Niang, she didn't want me to come, so she said angrily: "Look, your Sese really came."

I laughed, "What's yours, mine, his, I'm hungry. I want to eat soup cakes."

She didn't know what to think of, her face flushed suddenly, and she turned her head to ignore me.

I wanted to tease her, but Zhao Sesur suddenly rushed in.His clothes were messy and his face was sad.She saw me only after entering the hall, as if she was greatly surprised, she opened her mouth halfway through saying "sister" and then changed it to "Your Highness", she knelt down in front of me and wept on the ground. "Your Highness... I don't know what I did wrong, my sister wants to treat me like this."

Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, and said: "Yongniang has already told you just now, it is the crown prince's oral order."

As soon as Zhao Sese heard this, she immediately hugged my leg and cried: "Your Highness...the concubine doesn't believe...is what my sister said is true?"

I calmly withdrew my leg and said, "It was my oral instruction."

She froze for a moment and asked, "Why? Is His Highness still angry with me? That day I just..."

I said coldly: "Since your good brother tells you everything, why don't you ask him?"

After hearing this, Zhao Sese was still crying, but his eyes turned a little bit and calculated.After mourning and crying for a long time, I said: "Since entering the East Palace, I have always kept in mind that I am a heavenly wife, and my relationship with my father and brother has always been respectful and respectful, and I have never exceeded the rules. Your Highness's words... forgive me for being stupid , I can't understand what His Highness means... Could it be that my brother didn't do a good job and made His Highness angry?"

I laughed a little and said, "No, on the contrary, he did a good job."

Zhao Sese was stunned suddenly, as if he had been frightened by something, and said with a surprised face: "Your Highness?"

"But..." I said in a deep voice, "Maybe he can do better."

What I want to say is over.Zhao Sese probably understood what I meant, and said more.I became impatient and ordered someone to hang her out.

"Li Chengyin, you are so ruthless to her." Xiao Feng watched Zhao Sese being carried away crying all the way, leaned over and said softly, there was actually a trace of loneliness in her eyes.

I wondered: "Didn't you always dislike her? Why do you still seem to feel distressed?"

She sighed, and said: "Someone told me before that men's kindness can't be relied on. You are a prince, and if you want to be an emperor, you will inevitably have a hard heart. Now I... believe it a little bit."

"Hard hearted and cold?" I laughed, "That's not a bad thing to say." Probably I am such a person.

"Xiaofeng, will you hate me for this?"

She froze for a moment, not understanding what I meant.Suddenly I didn't want to know her answer, so I turned my head to look at Yong Niang, and said, "Where's my soup cake? Why hasn't it been presented yet?"

Yong Niang was also taken aback, and immediately sent someone to remind her.

In the afternoon, rumors began to spread in the city, saying that the thieves caught in the capital were related to the old case of the Chen family ten years ago.

Zhao Sese was still quick, and the next day Zhao Kun posted a note asking for a thorough investigation of the Chen family's old case.

This incident caused an uproar in the court.Zhao Gao's family had a close relationship, and with little effort, they obtained strong evidence that Gao Ming framed Zhongliang for his own benefit.Another enemy in the court took the opportunity to add insult to injury, impeaching him for forming a party for selfishness, for fighting aliens, for corruption, and for breaking the law.Gao's family ransacked and beheaded, and the Shenwu army found the emperor who had been missing for many days in the secret room again.As soon as the news came out, the whole court only realized it later.At that time, everyone called Gao Shi to be beaten, wishing to be punished if he could get it. In the past, those cronies were in danger.

When I arrived in a hurry, my father had already been sent back to the palace by Yin Wei, and the imperial doctor was checking his injuries.

"Your Highness."

"how?"

"There are a few sword wounds, not deep. However, the water and rice have not been exhausted for several days, so the body is weak and healthy, so it should be safe."

Everyone in the harem came to serve the sick, and only Yin Wei and I came out.

Walking to the gate of the palace, Yin Wei suddenly said: "Your Highness, don't you think this matter is too logical?"

I was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?" Could it be that he discovered something?

"Does your Highness still remember the silver smoked ball found under the flower stand in Mingyufang?"

"What's wrong?"

"Gao's family was raided, and there was almost no Suhexiang among the spices obtained. I found it strange and ordered several Gao family servants to be tortured. They all said that Gao Ming hated the smell of Suhexiang, so no one in the family dared to use this incense."

"So...you suspect that His Majesty was robbed, and there is someone else behind the scenes?"

Yin Wei whispered: "I just have doubts in my heart, and I don't mean it."

After he finished speaking, he left.Yin Wei is a pure minister, only loyal to the emperor, I couldn't see clearly what he meant by saying this for a while.I watched his figure go away and finally disappeared at the end of the long corridor, and I felt more and more uneasy.
