With the sage's permission, Lin's carriage went all the way to the interior of Xingqing Palace, and finally stopped not far from Hua'e Xianghui Building. Jiang Zhu got off the carriage first, and then stood on the side to wait until Lin Jiulang got off, She just followed behind Lin Jiulang and entered Huae Xianghui Building together.

Not far away is the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower made by the sage Ling craftsman Mao Shun. The lantern tower is based on lotus flowers, with green hills as the main body and decorated with auspicious clouds. , now the lights above are flickering, it looks very beautiful in the night, it looks like an ink painting.

Tonight's banquet was held on the top floor of Hua'e Xianghui Building. Before the banquet, there was also the ceremony of meeting the saint. Jiang Zhu had met the saint before, but it was a long time ago. When I see him now, I feel that he is a little older than before , she had heard grandpa say that she was high-spirited, heroic and decisive, and she had already left the saint under the polishing of time.

The person sitting here now is a saint who only has the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty in his eyes.

Jiang Zhu felt a little sad for a moment, only a singing voice came from his ear:

"Who knows that the waist is slender, and the king laughs like a king..."

When Jiang Zhu followed Lin Jiulang to meet, the sage suddenly said, "Your Excellency, this is Bo Ming's daughter."

Jiang Zhu was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't look up at the sage, and couldn't guess why the sage suddenly mentioned his father.

Lin Jiulang had just been beaten by the sage, and he felt uneasy. Hearing the words, he immediately said in fear, "Exactly. Zhuo Jing is not feeling well today, so he can't come here, so as not to lose his dignity."

"Boming's youngest daughter is also at such an old age, and she is more graceful now. I remember that she is about the same age as King Yong. When she was born, I told Boming that we were going to have a marriage. I never thought that Boming would Refused."

Although Lin Jiulang and Jiang Jiao were uncles and nephews, they were about the same age and had a close relationship. Hearing the sage's mention of Jiang Jiao at this time, he couldn't help being a little nervous, and he only responded and did not dare to speak rashly.

"Are you married?"

Lin Jiulang said: "No, it's just a marriage arrangement."

Jiang Zhu clenched his hands tightly and said nothing.

"Which family is it?"

"...It's the Li family, Li Bi, the Prime Minister of the Jing'an Division."

"Li Bi...I have some impressions."

The prince, who was originally standing on the other side, couldn't help but tense up, as if he had anticipated the coming storm.

Never thought that the sage would change the subject and said: "In the past, the Right Prime Minister entertained students in the mansion, and the ladies chose them by themselves. From this point of view, Li Bi is also one of the guests. It is no wonder that the handwriting is more and more similar to the young man's affection. , if you don't read it carefully, it looks like a person's handwriting."

The prince was taken aback, and slightly raised his head to look at the saint.

"I have already read the statement presented by the right minister. Li Bi must have made a mistake."

The prince couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly.

Jiang Zhu lowered his eyes and remained silent, knowing that Li Bi's move would have no chance to do anything in the sage's reign. Even if they didn't make such a bad move, in the sage's heart, Li Bi would have already become a speculator and an indecisive person. For the future, it would be better to use this to help the prince, but I didn't expect the saint to be so biased towards the right, without any regard for the prince's face.

"Go back."

"Here."

Jiang Zhu saluted the saint again, and then retreated to the side of the women's family in the west. This seat was mostly for the family members of the courtiers. Jiang Zhu was still young, so she shouldn't be the chief, but because Lin Jiulang was the right minister, she was able to sit In the seat closest to the saint.

Jiang Zhu tidied up her dress and sat down, and there were people next to her to greet her, most of whom were the wives and daughters of officials attached to Lin Jiulang, she held a glass of wine and responded one by one, and then pretended to glance at the opposite female relatives across the screen while drinking seats.

To the east are mostly royal family members, the head of which is Princess Yuzhen, the daughter of the emperor, and the royal princesses after that.

Jiang Zhu knew a little about Princess Yuzhen. She and the deceased Princess Jinxian shared the same sage and mother, so there are many other halls and extraordinary glory. After further study, Jiang Zhu also met her in the palace when he was young.

And above this favored princess is that Yan Taizhen.

At this time, the sage was scolding the prince, and the seat beside him was empty, obviously Yan Taizhen hadn't come out yet.

The two sides were fighting red-faced, but Jiang Zhu saw that Yan Yuhuan had arrived, and Tanqi was still following him, presumably Tanqi had come up with some way to use Yan Taizhen to solve Zhang Xiaojing's predicament.

During the quarrel, King Yong brought up Zhang Xiaojing to attack and slander the prince. It was useless for the prince to argue in every possible way. At this time, Yan Yuhuan came out to whisper to the saint regardless of Guo Lishi's obstruction. How are things going wrong?"

For a while, Huae Xianghui Building was extremely silent, only the sound of cold wind blowing into the hall, and finally fell silent.

Lin Jiulang and the prince also had to issue Sanyu documents to suspend the arrest of Zhang Xiaojing.

Jiang Zhu lowered his eyelids, listening to the quarrel in the hall.

Everyone bowed their heads in silence, only the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty kept arguing, as if it was a mockery of today's new calendar.

Such quarrels continued one after another, and everyone stayed where they were, not daring to move. Only the prince was either advancing or retreating from the delicacy called "Jiangshan" in front of him, so he could only leave with an excuse.

The rest of the ministers also left Huae Xianghui Building with excuses, presumably to have a secret meeting.

Jiang Zhu looked around, stood up as well, and said to the maid who was waiting on the side: "I have something to go out, and I will be back later."

"Here."

Naturally, Jiang Zhu didn't go to look for Lin Jiulang, she turned and left Huae Xianghui Building, and went straight to the prince's carriage.

The prince's carriage was not far from the Hua'e Xianghui Building. Jiang Zhu walked over quickly holding the hem of her skirt, and said to Li Jingzhong, the servant next to the prince, "I have something to see the prince."

"It turned out to be Jiang Liuniang, please let Rong Nu report to the crown prince."

Before Li Jingzhong went in, the prince's voice came from inside the carriage, saying: "Please come in, Sixteen Niang."

"Here."

Jiang Zhu leaned on the shaft and entered the carriage, saw Li Bi was also sitting inside, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "I have seen the prince."

"Liu Niang, you are being polite." The prince forced a smile.

He is not familiar with Jiang Zhu, the one he is really familiar with is the Jiang Zhu in Li Bi's mouth, although he doesn't understand the reason for Jiang Zhu's arrival at this moment, but because Li Bi is here, he can feel a little relieved.

If it wasn't for Li Bi, he wouldn't want to see anyone right now, after all, the embarrassment just now was vivid in his memory, which made him angry and hated, but he was helpless.

"The concubine originally wanted to ask the prince to find Chang Yuan. He must have known the plan of the thieves. But since Chang Yuan is here, the concubine is much more at ease."

Li Bi guessed that she came here for more than just that, but because she saw him at this moment, she suddenly changed her mind, and then said: "I'm fine now."

Jiang Zhu smiled and said, "I know you will be fine."

Li Bi knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he just looked away, looked at the prince and urged, "The Huae Xianghui Building is extremely dangerous at this moment, the prince must ask the saint and all the officials and envoys to move away immediately."

The crown prince stared at him for a long time, then raised his voice and said: "Now go to the Longwu army garrison to find General Chen Xuanli and ask him to protect the saint."

Jiang Zhu gripped the knuckles of his sleeves tightly, and then said: "I am willing to go with Chang Yuan."

The prince said softly, "Okay. I'm going to trouble Sixteenth Mother."

Li Bi and Jiang Zhu left the carriage together, and walked quickly to Longwu Army's station.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Bi said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell the prince just now?"

"I don't trust the prince." Jiang Zhu replied decisively, she looked at Li Bi and said, "I don't trust anyone."

Li Bi was silent.

"There are hidden stakes in the Jing'an Division, and there are more than one hidden stakes, except Ah..." Jiang Zhu paused slightly, and said: "In addition to Yao Runeng, there is also Pang Ling, who worked for my brother because of my niece. If you If you want to go back to Jing'an Division, you must deal with him first."

Li Bi whispered: "...Thank you."

Jiang Zhu remained silent.

When the two arrived at the Longwu army's garrison, they saw that Li Jingzhong, who was beside the crown prince, had gone one step ahead of them and framed Li Bi in front of Chen Xuanli.Li Bi heard it in the dark, and seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and left immediately.

"Where are you going next?"

"Leave the palace and go to Jing'an Division."

Jiang Zhu responded, but his footsteps slowed down, and then stopped in place, watching Li Bi's back not far away.

Li Bi noticed that her footsteps stopped, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and turned to look at her.

"Pomegranate……"

It was the first time that Li Bi realized that Jiang Zhu was so far away from him. At this moment, he couldn't even see her expression, so he realized that he was no longer the Abi who could communicate with her in the past.

"I'm fine, you go quickly..." Jiang Zhu took a step back, showing a smile, and said, "Go quickly, or it will be too late. I won't have an accident."

Li Bi looked at her, and hearing her tone seemed to be normal, he turned around involuntarily.

Seeing him turn around, Jiang Zhu turned back and walked towards Huae Xianghui Building.

Li Bi walked a few steps, then turned around and walked quickly to her side, took her hand, and walked out of the palace gate.

Jiang Zhu was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice, and said, "What are you doing..."

"I won't let you go back." Li Bi's voice was full of incredulity.

Jiang Zhu was dragged towards the palace gate by him, until he walked out of the palace gate, he said: "Why..."

The lights outside the palace were flickering, and many people were looking at the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Building not far away from the street. Li Bi was silent all the way, just taking Jiang Zhu to run counter to the bustle.It wasn't until he reached a quieter place that he stopped and looked at Jiang Zhu.

Jiang Zhu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Why?"

"Because I'm happy..." Li Bi's tone paused, he looked at the girl in front of him for a long time, only to realize that there was nothing about her that he liked.Li Bi's voice was a little dry for a while, and he opened his mouth after a long time: "Tan Qi once told me that Gao Ming's lies are half-truths and half-false, and I didn't understand until today."

Jiang Zhu hooked the corners of his mouth, and laughed at himself: "Isn't the really clever lie lying in lying to yourself?"

"To me, that's not the case." Li Bi stared straight at her, and said, "Half of what I said in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion today is true."

Jiang Zhu looked at him for a long time, finally looked away, and just responded.

Li Bi's heart surged with heat, and the heat floated upwards from his heart, and finally floated on his face. His face, which was originally as white as jade, was now flushed, and he said: "I will not let you down. I won't let myself down."

Jiang Zhu's heart beat faster, she tried not to turn her head away, stretched out her hand to stroke the broken hair beside her ear, so that she could put her mind on other places, so that she wouldn't blush and heartbeat just because of it.

Li Bi stared at her profile and said, "It's fine if you don't want to listen."

Jiang Zhu paused slightly, without saying a word.

"I will use this life to fulfill my promise."

Not far away, the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Building collapsed suddenly, and the sky turned purple in the flames. There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and the Huae Xianghui Building was full of flames. I don’t know what happened to the royal family and nobles inside.

Que Lehuoduo came to Chang'an.
