Separated by a landscape screen, Xuanzong's meaningful gaze in the imperial study was focused on Zhang Jiazhen.
"Since Zhang Aiqing has clues about the script, why doesn't he present it in the court?"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to report this to the court unless I am a minister."
Zhang Jiazhen glanced at Yuan Qianyao, who entered the imperial study with him, hesitated and said, "I suspected that the script had leaked out of the palace. This matter is of great importance, so I thought of reporting it to the emperor privately."
Zhang Jiazhen looked like he had something to hide, which surprised Yuan Qianyao after hearing his words.
What’s even more puzzling is that Mr. Zhang, who has always been quick and quick to judge important matters, is so hesitant when it comes to matters involving scripts.
Yuan Qianyao was shocked: "What? Did the storybook leak out from the palace?"
"How did Mr. Zhang know that the storybook leaked from the palace?"
Being watched by Xuanzong and questioned by Yuan Qianyao, Zhang Jiazhen finally said: "To be honest, I saw this script in my house before it was leaked out in the streets."
"The storybook was brought home by my grandson from Chongwen Hall. After I inquired carefully, I found out that it was His Highness Xuan who had a good relationship with my grandson and had circulated it to him."
Zhang Jiazhen knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I forgive you for deceiving and not repaying. I also thought about reporting the storybook to Your Majesty, but because the matter involved Prince Xuan, Prince Xuan soon came to ask for the storybook in person. I It’s inappropriate to think that Prince Xuan also knows about the script.”
"Due to a mistake, the storybook ended up being scattered in the streets and alleys. It is my fault that I did not stop this matter from happening in advance."
Zhang Jiazhen reported: "The storybook was first handed down to my grandson by Prince Xuan. I thought that the storybook should have been scattered from the palace, and wanted to trace its origin. The emperor called Prince Xuan and asked him. "
"The person who wrote the storybook must be hiding in the palace."
"This person has really sinister intentions in compiling such rebellious words. Please ask your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Zhang Jiazhen was very angry when he stated the matter. After listening to him tell the whole story, Yuan Qianyao was shocked that the storybook actually involved the Concubine Xian and Prince Xuan of Jiuxuan Palace.
He had a vague feeling that the words were not only words to incite rebellion, but also seemed to be related to the game in the palace.
Yuan Qianyao was still thinking about how close the little princess was to the Concubine Xian, and hoped that this matter would not affect her. A childish and angry voice came from behind the screen.
"There is no need to spread this matter to Brother Xuan!"
Li Sixu quickly turned around the screen with her short legs. Unlike the sweet smile on her face before, her expression was a bit cold: "There is no need to trace the source of the script."
"The person in Mr. Zhang's mouth who has sinister intentions and compiled the words to incite rebellion is here. The script was compiled by this princess."
When a hint of discomfort flashed across Zhang Jiazhen's face, the shocked Yuan Qianyao looked at the little princess with a gloomy face.
The little princess he knew had a deep understanding of righteousness, stayed at Master Yao's bedside, and could face the filth that Master Yao vomited without changing her expression.
The princess is humble and courteous to others, and calls herself a junior when getting along with Master Yao and him.
At this moment, she kept calling me "princess", her little face was as cold as ice, and she personally admitted that she had compiled the script, which made Yuan Qianyao think that there was something hidden in this matter.
How can anyone who has compiled remarks to instigate rebellion dare to hit the top of his book?
Different from Yuan Qianyao's shock, Xuanzong felt a flash of pity in his eyes when he saw the disheveled Li Sixu who hurried to the imperial study.
Unless he had to summon Li Sixu to the royal study at the critical moment when she was developing malaria medicine, it was because the story contained remarks about instigating rebellion, so it was a big deal.
As soon as Zhang Jiazhen mentioned her brother Xuanhuang, Xiao Shi angrily admitted that she had compiled the script.
Xuanzong laughed at her anger!
"Did you compile the speech book about instigating rebellion? Do you dare to misidentify anything?"
He picked up a few story books on the royal table and threw them at Li Sixu: "It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Let me take a good look at what these story books contain."
After Prince Xuan told Li Sixu that the young master of the Zhang family had borrowed the script and refused to return it, Li Sixu had guessed that someone was going to use the script to make a fuss.
However, when she hid behind the magnificent landscape screen in the imperial study and heard Zhang Jiazhen using the script to attack her brother Xuanhuang, she was still furious.
Her imperial brother was involved in the plot to instigate rebellion, and would also involve the Concubine Xian, the Twelve Imperial Brothers, and even the First Imperial Brother who had opened a mansion outside the palace.
Also, Gao Niangniang who helped her compile the storybook.
Pulling out a radish can bring out a bunch of mud, which can burn the entire Jiuxuan Palace. It's a good plan.
very good!
This newly promoted Lord Zhang, the Vice Minister of Zhongshu, has completely offended her.
Li Sixu looked meaningfully at Zhang Jiazhen, who was kneeling on the ground. She simply sat down cross-legged, picked up the book her father had thrown on the ground and started to read.
Look at her unkempt appearance, her temples are all messed up!
Eunuch Yang guessed that he must have come in a hurry from the secret room of Taiyuan Hospital.
Eunuch Yang was so distressed that the little princess worked hard to develop malaria medicine, but was slandered from behind. He glanced at Zhang Jiazhen fiercely and winked at the little eunuch beside her.
The little eunuch was very discerning and hurriedly found a futon and stuffed it for Li Sixu.
Li Sixu felt Eunuch Yang's concern, and her face finally softened. She sat on the futon and glanced gratefully at Yang Sixu, who was standing behind her father.
Seeing Eunuch Yang's calm face, the anger in Li Sixu's heart dissipated and she began to leaf through the volumes of story books with bated breath.
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond!
Prince Xuan and Princess Ten are very close.
Since the storybook was leaked from the hands of Prince Xuan and then passed on to his grandson, Zhang Jiazhen thought that the tenth princess who was close to Prince Xuan must have read the storybook.
No matter what, as long as we follow the clues about Prince Xuan, the story about the story will spread to the entire Jiuxuan Palace.
Sure enough, as he expected, Prince Xuan was involved, and the tenth princess actually threw herself into the trap and admitted that she had compiled the script.
Mr. Zhang thought everything was under control and was still secretly happy, but the direction of things was beyond his expectation.
The little princess admitted that she had compiled the script, and that the emperor was not angry when it came to remarks about instigating rebellion. Instead, he said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, as if he admired the little princess's courage.
He even asked her to sit down and read a storybook.
At this moment, the royal study room was completely quiet, with only the rustle of the little princess flipping through the pages of the book. Her hair, which she had not had time to straighten, was hanging down from one side.
If Zhang Jiazhen hadn't been kneeling all the time and Xuanzong hadn't asked him to get up, he would have thought that the princess was turning the pages of a book, indescribably well-behaved and demure.
However, the little princess's half-smiling expression as she gazed at the pages of the book, and the rustling sound of turning pages struck a chord in his heart, all of which meant that the direction of the matter was no longer under his control.
