A faint sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Li Xuan turned around subconsciously.
Outside the door, a thirty-year-old waitress wearing a blue men's gown and a black hat stood vaguely at the door.
"Your Majesty, Pei Weng, Your Highness has an order to take the little girl into the palace to speak!" The middle-aged maid had a plain appearance, no makeup, and her voice was soft but firm.
"It turns out to be Hu Shangyi!" Pei Guangxiao stood up from the Hu stool and bowed slightly to the visitor standing in the shadow of the door.
"Don't dare, Weng Pei is too polite!" Hu Shangyi's frightened voice sounded outside the door, and he even took half a step back.
In addition to the emperor's concubines such as the Queen, the Fourth Concubine, the Nine Concubines, Jieyu, Beauty, Baolin, Yunu, and Talented Girl, there were also female officials from the Six Shang and Twenty-four Divisions.
Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Fu, Shang Shi, Shang Bed, and Shang Gong are all female officials of the fifth rank.
Li Xuan looked at Hu Shangyi through the door and knew clearly in her heart that the female officials in the palace were more talented than their appearance. Although Hu Shangyi was a female official in the crown prince's uterus, her abilities were absolutely outstanding.
Especially now that Empress Wu is in charge of the palace, and His Majesty is often sick, there are very few people who can become concubines from female officials, and the atmosphere in the palace is clear for a while.
"Is the Crown Princess okay?" Pei Guangxiao couldn't help but ask.
"His Highness has already apologized to the Saint and the Queen of Heaven. Although the Zhongtian Madam Seal was carved by His Highness casually as a plaything to reward the younger generation, this time such a big commotion has caused such a big commotion, and His Highness is also at fault." Hu Shangyi gently said. Things have been said once.
From the moment Pei Shitong woke up to the present, it only lasted a moment, and the news had already reached the Crown Princess.
Either the palace is as leaky as a broken house, or the princess is not as simple as she seems.
Although Prince Li Hong has died of illness, have all of his original subordinates really dispersed?
You must know that although Li Hong was physically weak, with the support of Emperor Li Zhi, he could compete with Empress Wu.
Those under him have either lost their hearts and left the court, or have fallen under the command of King Yong Li Xian, or have fallen into the arms of the Queen of Heaven...
There were also some private individuals who fell into the hands of the Crown Princess Pei.
If everything is calm and nothing happens, these people will naturally disappear quietly, but if something happens, the power of these people cannot be underestimated.
"In that case, Miss Pei, please follow Hu Shangyi to see Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Li Xuan suddenly turned around, cupped her hands towards Pei Guangxiao and said: "Weng Pei, it's still early, so I won't stay in the palace tonight. We'll see you tomorrow. Visit Miss Pei!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!" Pei Guangxiao nodded very politely, his expression relaxing for a moment.
"Goodbye, Xiao Wang!" Li Xuan looked at Pei Shitong on the bed, and then realized that Pei Shitong's eyes were staring at Li Xuan. His eyes were full of unimaginable calm, but they locked Li Xuan's figure tightly. .
[Pei Shitong, the youngest daughter of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe, 12 years old, obsessed with revenge]
The reminder entry suddenly popped up again. Li Xuan's eyes flickered, remembering what Pei Shitong said before, and he knew in his heart that this matter was not over yet.
With a slight nod, Li Xuan exited the dormitory of Shang Yao Bureau and nodded slightly to Hu Shangyi at the door. Hu Shangyi took a half step back and bowed without raising his eyes.
There was no communication between Li Xuan and Hu Shangyi, so he left here quickly.
Although this is the dormitory of Shang Yao Bureau, it has already been requisitioned by all parties.
Pei Guangxiao was the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and Li Xuan, the prince of Nanchang County, was still under his jurisdiction. When the prince's people came, he had to avoid suspicion.
There are only a few people in the courtyard of Shang Yao Bureau, but who knows how many people are watching in the dark.
The Shang Yao Bureau was responsible for the emperor's medical affairs, but most of their duties were running errands and preparing medicine.
Now that Emperor Gaozong has died of a wind disease, there are countless famous doctors around the world, and their duties of diagnosing diseases, administering medicine, and even decoction are sometimes taken away.
Shang Yao Bureau is more responsible for the management and transportation of medicinal materials.
Walking in the imperial city, in the darkness, a few lights flashed in the distance.
Li Xuan put her hands in her sleeves and moved forward steadily, making crisp sounds under her feet while looking in the direction of Miyagi.
Too many things happened today. First, the kings met in court, and the suspicion of the prince's death was completely eliminated. Then the Shangshu Province took sharp action and completely eliminated the stronghold of Tianyin Sect and Wusheng Tao in Luoyang.
The Tianyin Sect killed an elder, a hall master, and countless others.
Wu Sheng Dao lost a deputy hall leader, and the secret lines they had laid out in countless officials' homes throughout Luoyang were also uprooted.
The emperor and empress were so fierce that it made people tremble.
Although Li Xuan did a lot of things here, he always felt that even without him, the emperor and empress would do just as well.
That's all. The key is that tonight, most of the mysteries of the Luoyang County captain's murder case have been solved.
As long as the Madam Zhongtian Seal is found, everything will be over, but is that just the case?
"Bang bang bang!" A sound of hitting a board suddenly came from the front.
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, retracted her thoughts, and quickly walked out of the dark palace alley.
As soon as we exited the alley, the front immediately became brighter.
Not far ahead is the Zetian Gate. A dozen officials who have not left yet stand on one side of the palace gate, watching from a distance as if someone is being tortured with a cane.
Has anyone offended the Queen of Heaven?
Li Xuan subconsciously walked out quickly and walked behind the crowd. At this time, she could clearly see the unbearable expressions on everyone's faces.
Li Xuan was currently wearing a crimson official robe of the fifth rank, and was not conspicuous among the crowd.
At this time, many people saw him, but they all nodded slightly and still looked at the man who was being tortured under Zetian Gate.
"Hiss!" Li Xuan just glanced at it and was stunned.
Through the crowd, under the bright firelight of Zetianmen, a familiar figure was lying on the ground, and two Qianniu guards on the side were beating with their sticks.
"Prince Yong...how could it be Prince Yong?" Li Xuan just finished speaking and couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"It is said that it was because King Yong had behaved inappropriately in the past and the Queen was furious, so he was punished lightly with twenty sticks!"
A voice suddenly came from behind, and Li Xuan turned around. This was a thin young man wearing a green official robe of the sixth grade.
Seeing Li Xuan's gaze, the other party immediately handed over his hand and said in a low voice: "Come down and Sui will be appointed as the crown prince at the beginning of the year."
Li Xuan's brows immediately raised, and her eyes were full of sympathy when she looked at the other party.
Prince Sheren, in charge of the execution of orders and orders, is assigned to Youchunfang, and is ranked in the sixth rank.
Judging from the fact that the man in front of him was only a few years older than himself, he was most likely a descendant of Guanyin, and being the crown prince's servant was nothing more than gold plating.
It's a pity that this layer of gold is not plated, and it may be stained with a layer of mud!
"Prince Yong!" Li Xuan pointed at Li Xian, the Prince of Yong, who was being beaten, and then pointed at Lai Sui, smiled bitterly twice, and cupped his hands: "Li Twenty-seventh Lang, I will give you the medicine to serve the emperor."
"Long admire!" Laisui didn't seem to know who Li Xuan was, and he didn't care too much. He leaned closer and whispered: "King Yong's reputation has always been bad. This time, it seems that the Queen of Heaven directly took advantage of it. In anger, He was pulled directly under the palace gate and tortured with a cane!"
Laisui seemed to know a lot about Li Xian, and Li Xuan nodded slightly. This kind of official son who has been in Chang'an and Luoyang all year round naturally knows more about Yong Wang Li Xian.
It's just that today's incident, the scene of leaving from Prince Yong's Mansion today flashed through Li Xuan's mind.
The reason why he was able to completely target Yun Shao Yuan today was because there were several servants hiding in Prince Yong's Mansion. As soon as he investigated the identities of these servants, he immediately found Yun Shao Yuan.
Li Xuan was originally particularly sensitive to Wenwenfang because of the incident between the Su family and his daughter. As soon as he found indirect evidence, he immediately took action without hesitation.
