"Princess Yuzhen is the aunt of Junior Sister Chen. It is natural for Junior Sister Chen to be close to the eldest princess. Why are you trying to please the eldest princess?"
Wang Ziqing looked puzzled: "Chen's junior sister is also a princess. Isn't the status of a princess not as noble as gold?"
"I apologize for my lack of knowledge, and I would like to ask the Lord of Ji'an County to clarify my doubts."
Wang Ziqing's expression was sincere: "As your Majesty's daughter, Junior Sister Chen, why do you have to go around trying to please people?"
The head of Ji'an County: "..."
Hiding in the dark and watching the excitement?
What is this nonsense!
The Lord of Ji'an County was almost furious!
Who knew that there was an oriole hiding behind the mantis that thought it was catching cicadas?
How could a young imperial doctor dare to talk to her like this?
How dare you offend Prince Ning's Mansion?
The Lord of Ji'an County was furious: "Father, Aunt Yuzhen, you must believe in Ji'an. Wang Ziqing is the senior brother of the tenth princess, and they are in the same group."
Li Sixu almost died laughing!
His senior brother turned out to be like this when he was quarreling with others.
His expression was sincere and respectful, and he looked puzzled and humbly asking for advice, but one sentence after another left people powerless to resist.
Does the Lord of Ji'an County think this is enough?
not at all!
After dealing with a Ji'an County Lord, Li Sixu looked at Concubine Shu with an obedient expression: "Concubine Shu said earlier that fortunately Sisi knew medical skills and happened to be on duty passing by here, and saved Aunt Yuzhen's little white fox."
"They also said that bamboo sticks used to stab people appeared on the small island in the middle of the lake. Zuo Yulin, who arranged the defense for the Mid-Autumn Festival, neglected his duty."
Li Sixu smiled sweetly and said: "After Mr. Zhang fainted in the royal study room yesterday and was carried out of the palace, my father was very worried about Sisi's safety, so he asked Mr. Zuo Wei to follow Sisi in the dark. "
"It just so happens that Mr. Li's father is responsible for the defense of Taiye Lake today. Concubine Shu said that General Li has neglected his duties. So Sisi might as well invite General Li here and ask where the bamboo stick that stabbed the little white fox came from. .”
The prince told her that the little boy was being protected by His Majesty's royal guards, but Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously.
The person who protects her is actually the son of General Li Kailuo, Zuo Yulin, a popular figure beside His Majesty?
Touching Li Sixu's half-smiling eyes, and remembering the vicious little monster's method of dealing with her in the Qingfeng Palace, Concubine Shu couldn't help but shudder, and her complexion deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"About the little fox, I think Ji'an and Prince Qing had a misunderstanding!"
Concubine Shu forced herself to calm down and said, "There is no need to worry about General Zuo Yulin. Mr. Li is also responsible for the defense of the palace. There are many people entering the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet today."
If Li Sixu continued to pester her, she was just ignorant. For a trivial matter, she alerted General Li, who was in charge of the palace's defense.
But how could Li Linhuai, who was hiding in the dark, let the little princess suffer?
Especially, someone used all possible means to cause such a big fight against the little princess.
Li Linhuai turned out a handful of scattered bamboo branches, bowed and said, "I have met Empress Shu, His Highness Prince Ning, and Princess Yu Zhen!"
"I have been ordered by Your Majesty to be responsible for the safety of the little princess in the palace. I and my father work as errands in front of Your Majesty and perform their respective duties. Originally, the defense of today's Mid-Autumn Festival had nothing to do with me, but the empress said that my father has neglected his duties. I think we should come out to clarify this matter."
Li Linhuai held the bamboo branch and said, "I would like to report to Concubine Shu about the defense of the palace. On this occasion, there are many noble people entering the palace for the banquet. My father does not dare to neglect it for a moment."
"Moreover, the island in the middle of the lake is close to the water, and there are many boat boats playing on the lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival. To avoid the nobles accidentally falling into the water, the Yulin Guards picked a lot of guards who can swim and spread them out on the lake to take charge of today's defense."
"The island in the middle of the lake is a place for banquets. Your Majesty wants to visit here in person, so it is well-defended."
"The last lotus viewing banquet was half a mile away, but this time around thirty steps is the axis, and all are covered with guards for covert protection."
It was Concubine Shu who first said that Yu Linwei had neglected his duties. Li Linhuai came out to report it, but Concubine Shu could not find anything to refute for a while.
He didn't like to talk, but he finished describing the defense arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in one breath.
Then, he raised the bamboo branch in his hand.
"I got these bamboo branches from the secret guard who was on duty here. Someone broke a piece of bamboo in the bamboo forest next to the bush. The bamboo stick that injured the little fox came out of this piece of bamboo branch."
"I went to the island first and protected the princess in the dark. When the princess was squatting on the ground to pull out the bamboo sticks for the injured fox, I saw with my own eyes that Princess Mu and Princess Yue were running towards here from a distance with their people. .”
"The murderer who stabbed the little fox had to use a dagger to sharpen a bamboo stick, and also threw the fox into the grass to frame the little princess. He will not be able to escape far."
Li Linhuai's sharp gaze suddenly glanced at the Lord of Ji'an, and fell on the hand she was clenching: "Why is the Lord of Ji'an holding your hand, but it was scratched by a bamboo branch?"
Li Linhuai first found the scattered bamboo branches, and then guessed that the murderer used a bamboo stick cut with a dagger to stab the fox, and he could not run far away.
Then, he suddenly glanced at Ji'an and asked if her hand was scratched by a bamboo branch.
His turn of events came so suddenly that the head of Ji'an County panicked.
She subconsciously leaned towards Prince Ning: "No, it's not the little fox that Ji An stabbed."
As soon as the Lord of Ji'an County finished speaking, it was as if he was asking for trouble.
Not only Princess Mu and Yue'er glanced at her with disdain, but Princess Yuzhen also looked at her in surprise.
Ji'an County Lord's eyes were red, and big tears fell down like broken beads: "What is the grudge between Ji'an and Mr. Li? Why did Mr. Li frame Ji'an like this?"
"You are just protecting the ten princesses one by one. Why do you have to pour dirty water on Ji'an?"
"You bully people like this, where is Ji'an's reputation?"
The Lord of Ji'an County burst into tears: "Father, when Ji'an was helping Aunt Yuzhen look for a fox, his hand was scratched by a branch, but the people around the tenth princess framed Ji'an like this?"
"Can even the imperial doctors and guards in this palace bully Ji'an?"
"Ji'an has embarrassed Prince Ning's Mansion. Ji'an has no shame in living, so he might as well die!"
Li Sixu: "..."
Li Sixu was astonished by his ability to hit the target!
Seeing the main figures of Ji'an County running towards the lakeside near the corridor, a small boat suddenly emerged from the bamboo bushes beside the corridor.
"The people around Tenth Emperor Sister are helping to bully you one by one. What about me?"
The prince came ashore with the help of the young master in blue: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Yuzhen, please, while sister Ji'an was whittling bamboo sticks with a dagger, the emperor's nephew and Mr. Xue were boating behind the bamboo clumps here."
The prince looked at the crying Lord of Ji'an County: "So, sister Ji'an will throw herself into the lake to protect her name?"
Concubine Shu never expected that the last straw for the Ji'an County Lord would be the prince?
The prince was so mad that he turned his arms outwards and insisted on confronting her.
Concubine Shu was furious: "Prince!"
"Concubine, are you feeling unwell?"
The prince said with a pleasant look: "My concubine must have been blown by the autumn wind too much, and her old habit has returned. I will send my concubine back to the Qingfeng Palace right now."
