"Your Majesty!" Li Mo stood nervously at the door of the central hall, and bowed his hands deeply to Li Xuan, who was looking over: "Your Majesty, there are rumors from Shendu Garden that the Prince poisoned Prince Zhuang because of his words! "
Yu Ze was slightly startled, then turned to look at Li Xuan. He had heard Li Xuan describe in detail what happened that day, but he didn't expect that someone would spread the rumor today.
While Li Xuan was drinking rice porridge with a spoon, she said casually and calmly: "Tell me more details!"
Li Xuan's expression surprised both Yu Ze and Li Mo. Li Mo handed over his hand again and continued: "There are rumors that King Zhuang had a quarrel with the prince in the palace and insulted the late king. The prince also once insulted King Zhuang in the palace. It's disrespectful, the two sides have had a grudge for a long time, so the prince took advantage of the fact that King Zhuang was seriously ill yesterday and directly poisoned King Zhuang."
"Yes, I am narrow-minded, retributive, cruel in temperament, and vicious in my methods. I think my reputation will spread in Luoyang soon." Li Xuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a mocking smile on her face.
"My lord, you should not take it lightly. If some rumors spread for a long time, they will become true if they are false." Yu Ze stood up with some seriousness. He understood the horror of these rumors.
"Don't worry, I have not underestimated the dangers of such rumors!" Li Xuan waved her hands and said thoughtfully: "But don't act rashly, because no one knows who is behind it and how many people are watching this right now. There is a separate courtyard, watching our every move, waiting for us to make mistakes."
"What the prince said is true!" Yu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, then stood aside and said thoughtfully: "First of all, the death of Prince Zhuang must be man-made, but the murderer is difficult to find. If there are rumors about the prince killing Prince Zhuang, I'm afraid it's also to divert attention and escape from the Dragon Scale Palace smoothly. There are probably many people who know about the quarrel between the prince and Prince Zhuang that day. It's not easy to find out who they are, so the palace allows the rumors to spread. It's just like this I will harm the prince’s reputation from now on..."
After a pause, Yu Ze said with a sullen face: "Perhaps after the entire case is investigated, someone will come to help clarify the case for the prince, but it is hard to say what the consequences will be, and if the reputation is damaged, it will be damaged, and all aspects will be affected by it."
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the old eunuch Meng Sheng behind Li Xuan completely darkened, with a cold and stern light shining in his eyes.
Li Xuan's reputation being damaged will not only affect his official career, but also his marriage, which Meng Sheng absolutely cannot tolerate.
"Maybe there will be compensation from the palace!" Yu Ze sighed deeply. After finishing one sentence, it was difficult to say any more!
"In the palace, those who do not complain about the hardships in the palace are always good ministers. But there are too many such ministers. Once they are used, they are used. It is hard to say who will remember them in the future. "Meng Sheng's somewhat old and deep voice sounded from the side.
He is also a eunuch and came out of the palace in his early years. He naturally has the best understanding of the palace's ideas.
"It doesn't matter, let the news spread for a while." Li Xuan suddenly spoke, looking at the green cypress in the courtyard outside the door, and said with a playful face: "This way, when the truth is completely reversed, people will be deeply impressed by me. !」
"But it depends on how much truth the palace can grasp in the end. If the murderer of Prince Zhuang is not caught in the end, the prince will probably suffer a hidden loss!" Yu Ze made a fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand hard. He frowned, thinking about how to deal with it. ….
Li Xuan didn't pay attention and turned to look at Li Mo: "Go ahead and let our men calm down first. Don't stop the spread of rumors, and don't be regarded as an accomplice of the conspirators. Now outside our villa, I don’t know how many people are staring and watching. Uncle Meng!”
Li Xuan turned to look at Meng Sheng and whispered: "Tell the guards and servants in the mansion not to go out until this matter is resolved. If something happens, Uncle Meng will personally take the guards in the mansion." , lest others take the opportunity to cause trouble for us with the government!"
"Here!" Meng Sheng is the general manager of the Nanchang Palace. Although the Nanchang Palace has not yet opened and Meng Sheng has no official official position in the Nanchang Palace, he is also the deputy general manager of the Prince Peng's Palace.
Although Prince Peng has passed away, Princess Peng is still there. She is a genuine prince and concubine, and she has her own internal official system.
Although King Peng died, Li Xuan
Although he still opened a palace for the official heir, Prince Peng's palace was only reduced and the country was not destroyed.
Therefore, people like Yu Ze and others still hold the official positions in Prince Peng's Palace. After Li Xuan opens the palace, the official positions of all the personnel in Prince Peng's Palace will be transferred to Nanchang Palace.
Meng Sheng has the status of deputy general manager of the chamberlain of Prince Peng's palace. Although he will not be allowed to run rampant in Luoyang, people in the government are always a little wary of the chamberlain.
This is a human relationship that has always been like this through the ages, with few exceptions.
"Qiaoer, go and prepare a bathtub in the bamboo room in the backyard. I want to take a bath!" Li Xuan suddenly turned to look at Qiqiao who was guarding one side.
Wearing a blue skirt, Qiqiao bowed slightly and said with a hint of shame on her baby-fat oval face. Her big, twinkling eyes quickly lowered, Qiqiao bowed slightly: "Here!"
Then he quickly turned around and called Sijin and Ruyu to rush to the backyard bamboo room to prepare.
"Uncle Yu, yesterday I met the daughter of Chao Yilang's family. Do you know where they went?" Li Xuan stood up and looked at Yu Ze.
"The people who followed came back and reported that the daughter of Chao Yilang's family first went to the Shangqing Palace in the north of the city to offer incense, then returned to the city, and then went to the northeast of the Liuren District to give porridge, and then returned to the house again!" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan strangely and said, "The reputation of the daughter of the Chaoyi Lang family with a kind heart and a kind heart is already spreading in the city!"
"It doesn't matter, my cousin said he would handle it at this time, so let him handle it!" Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the back garden, saying, "Now we should think carefully about how to break the situation, King Zhuang's The truth behind the death must be thoroughly investigated and then made known to the world!”
Among the four courtyards of Yulong Garden, Li Xuan lives in the third courtyard. Behind the house is an open space that has been transformed into a small school for martial arts!
On the northwest side of the small school grounds, there is a thin bamboo forest left by the previous owner.
In the bamboo forest, an exquisite two-story bamboo building was built, which Li Xuan called the Bamboo House.
In the summer, the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves flutter, and it is natural.
At this time, in the bamboo hut, a wooden bucket half a foot in diameter was placed on the ground. It was filled with hot water, and the steam filled the entire bamboo hut.
In the hazy mist, there seemed to be three maids wearing only tube tops and tulle standing on one side.
Li Xuan did not look at the three of them, but calmly walked to the barrel and opened her hands. ….
A hand was put on his shoulder, and then he gently helped him take off his coat...
Li Xuan stepped into the barrel, leaned against the barrel, closed his eyes and thought about what to do next. He already had some ideas, but they still needed to be perfected!
This matter must not be let go so easily. On the surface, it seems that the Thousand-Faced Buddha of Tianyin Sect poured all the dirty water on Li Xuan in order to divert attention.
But in fact, this may not mean that they are seeking revenge on Li Xuan for what happened before.
If we can't handle this time, then a series of attack methods will emerge in an endless stream.
First, the truth behind the murder of King Zhuang needs to be solved.
Li Xuan closed her eyes and leaned against the tub, a cold little hand pressed on his shoulder.
"Send a message and ask the Qin family to help find people from Chang'an County and Wannian County to investigate the whereabouts of Prince Zhuang's chief Shi Yangtai in Chang'an City." Li Xuan's voice was very clear, and Qiqiao behind him immediately became solemn: " Here!"
Qiqiao's footsteps gradually disappeared behind her. At this time, another pair of small hands pressed on Li Xuan's shoulders. Li Xuan didn't think about who it was, but continued to wonder.
Yang Tai has always been the chief historian of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. He spends a lot of time by Prince Zhuang Li Feng's side. It is not easy for the Tianyin Sect to attack him.
Not to mention that Prince Zhuang's Mansion is always monitored by Qianniu Guards, so it is even more difficult to replace him silently.
The Tianyin sect should have been doing manual work recently, in the past ten days or so after the death of Prince Li Hong due to illness. Yang Tai came from Chang'an, so he naturally had to start the investigation from Chang'an.
As long as Yang Tai's body can be found in Chang'an, Li Xuan's suspicion can be cleared.
But this is not enough.
"Let me prepare two doses of nightshade powder, as well as some Xishan Bailu and Nanchang silk. I am going to visit the left prime minister tonight."
Li Xuan still closed her eyes.
The footsteps that had just sounded behind him paused again, and Qiqiao's voice came again: "Here!"
Qiqiao is the personal maid who grew up with Li Xuan. She handles many of Li Xuan's personal affairs. .
