Countless palace residents were implicated. Regardless of whether there was evidence or not, those imprisoned could not escape the harsh punishment.
This is just the beginning. As the situation develops, more and more people will be implicated, and more and more innocent people will die.
All because of that anonymous letter of remonstrance.
It has to be said that those who submit remonstrances have control over people's hearts, especially the hearts of emperors.
As soon as he took action, he touched the most taboo place of the emperor. No matter how kind the emperor was, he would never forgive the witchcraft in the palace. This was a direct challenge to the imperial power and could not be redeemed by death.
At the end of the day, the courtiers outside the palace gate didn't know what happened and dispersed in confusion.
Not long after, Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi hurriedly entered the palace.
At the same time, a disguised palace maid quietly left the palace and went straight to Li Yi's mansion.
With the incident of the Wean Sheng Shu, the Tai Chi Palace is filled with clouds and rain is about to come.
…………
Li Qinzai's new house.
It was already morning, and Jinxiang Youyou opened her eyes. The pain of her hangover immediately made her groan. Her slender fingers kept pressing her temples, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were also looking at the surrounding environment.
There is a mahogany bed with light gauze curtains. A hollow copper incense ball hangs above the bed, and the sandalwood inside has been burned out.
The sun shone into the house through the window lattice, and Jin Xiang could see clearly the furnishings in the house. Everything seemed so strange.
His eyes widened in horror as memories of last night suddenly flooded into his mind.
Jin Xiang trembled with fright, hugged the quilt tightly and screamed.
The door was pushed open immediately, and a maid hurriedly walked in: "What's wrong with our distinguished guest? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jin Xiang raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Where is this place?"
The maid innocently said: "This slave is a servant of the county uncle's house, so of course this is the county uncle's house."
"County uncle?" Jin Xiang immediately remembered: "Li Qinzai?"
"yes."
Jin Xiang was shocked and angry: "He, he... what did he do to me?"
The maid became more and more innocent: "Your distinguished guest was carried back by the master last night. He didn't do anything to you."
Jin Xiang quickly looked at his clothes and found that there was nothing strange. He felt his body again and found that everything was normal and there was no discomfort. Then he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The maid didn't know Jin Xiang. Although she was a newcomer in the new house, she still had a strong sense of belonging and couldn't help but speak to Li Qinzai.
"Dear guest, my master is a gentleman and will never take advantage of others' danger. He just carried you back last night and did not do any harm to you."
Jin Xiang snorted coldly.
Everywhere in your master's body, including his pores, is there a trace of a gentleman?
Then Jin Xiang finally noticed the maid's words and said with difficulty: "He, he... carried me back last night?"
The maid nodded: "Yes."
In the "back" movement...does it mean that you have to hold up your buttocks?
Thinking of his buttocks being held by Li Qinzai's hands all the way from the street to the mansion, Jinxiang suddenly felt hot all over, even his toes turned red.
"He, how could he...where is my maid?" Jin Xiang was ashamed and angry.
The maid said innocently: "The guest has only one maid, and she can't carry it."
Jin Xiang was so ashamed and angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Let my maid come in and help me groom and wash myself."
The maid from Jinxiang came in and quickly served her attentively.
Jin Xiang walked out of the room with a new look.
There is a sense of freshness everywhere in the new house. Even the pillars outside the door exude the lingering fragrance of varnish. There are elm trees and ginkgo trees in the yard. There is a stone table under the tree. Next to the stone table is a small pond. On the pond is a The beautiful and rugged rockery.
Jinxiang walked out of the room and suddenly found Li Qinzai sitting at the stone table.
Li Qinzai was sitting on the stone bench in a daze with his back to her.
She has long hair in a bun, a jade belt and brocade clothes, and a tall back with a sense of loneliness.
The quiet Li Qinzai is out of tune with this world.
Jin Xiang stared at his back blankly, a strong curiosity welling up in his heart.
She suddenly wanted to know why this man who had everything was so lonely.
Then Jin Xiang clenched his fists hard again, a voice in his heart kept telling him.
"He is Jie'er's husband, he is Jie'er's husband..."
There are no people in the world who do whatever they want, and there is no unbridled love.
All people and things need to be restrained and restrained.
Jin Xiang's expression instantly turned gloomy, and he sighed quietly.
The sigh woke up Li Qinzai who was in a daze beside the stone table. He turned to look at Jinxiang and Li Qinzai smiled.
"you're awake?"
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned red. Even though she was drunk last night, she still had fragmentary memories. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have said something excessive, which was very embarrassing.
Trying to hold his chest up calmly, Jin Xiang kept hypnotizing himself: "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm just drunk. My father is much more ugly than me when he's drunk. That little thing last night is nothing."
After hypnosis and encouragement, Jin Xiang walked up to Li Qinzai, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed: "Thank you, County Uncle Li, for taking me in last night."
Li Qinzai said in surprise: "Huh? You can actually speak human language..."
With a shy face, Jin Xiang immediately broke through, and his anger instantly overwhelmed his little shyness and emotion.
"What do you mean? Haven't I spoken human words before?" Jin Xiang gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Li Qinzai looked at her innocently: "Have you ever said anything to anyone before? Don't you know it in your mind?"
"You are the one who calls me a swindler, a scoundrel, and a shameless person."
Jin Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said stiffly: "Did I say something wrong?"
"You're right, but we were the other way around last night..." Li Qinzai smiled maliciously.
Jin Xiang suddenly became nervous: "I, what did I...do last night?"
"You were like a puddle of snot that stuck to me last night and I couldn't shake it off," Li Qinzai curled his lips in disgust: "If the wine is not good, don't drink. It's so ugly to cry and make trouble when you're drunk, and to hurt others."
Jin Xiang's pretty face turned red again, and she didn't know whether she was angry or shy. She lowered her head to the ground in shame, then raised her head and said cautiously: "I...what else did I do last night?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "You kept asking for kisses from me last night. You kissed me several times. You still refused to let me go after you were carried back to your room. You even coquettishly asked me to drink sugar water..."
Jin Xiang's face turned as red as a cooked crab, and his whole body was about to explode.
"You, you are talking nonsense! There is no way I can do this!" Jin Xiang was ashamed and angry.
Li Qinzai ignored her and said to himself: "I struggled hard at that time, but you were so strong..."
Silently looking up at the sky, Li Qinzai had a look of humiliation on his face: "... A weak and weak woman, I didn't expect that she would become so powerful after drinking. If I hadn't resisted desperately, you would have almost succeeded last night."
The more Jin Xiang listened, the more incredible he felt, staring at his expression in shock.
Gradually, Jin Xiang was no longer shy, but the anger on his face became more and more intense.
"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. I don't believe a word of what you say. Even if I'm drunk, I'll be quiet. I won't cry or make trouble. Don't make random accusations." Jin Xiang snorted.
Li Qinzai became more and more frustrated and sighed sadly: "You actually put up your pants and refused to admit it...I have to talk to your father later. If we don't increase the money this time, it really can't be justified."
