Chapter 332 The Son of Heaven's Attitude
In the past two days, Li Ye was like a bystander, watching the development of the situation calmly. In the various descriptions of Chang'an Shijing, he has been completely demonized.

"Although my son is a local rascal, at least he is not as bloodthirsty and murderous as that Li Ye, and he is much more generous and kind. '
There were also differences among the officials of the imperial court. Officials led by Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie and others believed that Li Ye was bloodthirsty and immoral, while officials led by Wei Jiansu believed that Li Ye killed people out of self-preservation, which was justifiable.

However, although the imperial court discussed it in full swing, the military was surprisingly quiet and did not make any statement on this.

That evening, when Li Ye just came back from outside, his mother, Pei Sanniang, came up to him and said, "Ye'er, Gao Lishi sent someone over just now, asking you to visit his house after you come back."

Li Ye nodded, "I'll go right away!"

"Ye'er!"

Pei Sanniang called to stop her son again, she said with a worried face, "Are you okay?"

Li Ye laughed, "Why would something happen to me? Don't worry, I'm fine."

Li Ye called a carriage and headed towards Yishanfang.

Pei Sanniang walked to the door, watched her son's carriage drive away, and sighed lowly, how could she not be worried?

Now Li Ye doesn't ride a horse when he goes out in the evening. It's convenient to hire an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart to come back at night.

After arriving at Gao Lishi's mansion, Feng Quannong came out in a hurry and said with a smile, "The little monkey is finally willing to come to the door?"

Li Ye hurriedly saluted, "I've been struggling during this time, please forgive me, Uncle Feng!"

"You're going to burn out? I don't believe it! You're smarter than a fox, I understand you."

Li Ye laughed dryly and said, "Is Gao Weng there?"

"I'm waiting for you, come with me!"

Feng Quannong took Li Ye to the mansion.

Li Ye knew very well that Gao Lishi must have seen the impeachment letter before Gao Lishi came to him.

Although Li Ye also knew that there would be nothing wrong with him in the end because of the noble concubine's support, but the king's heart is unpredictable, who knows what the emperor will think, even if he doesn't pursue himself, he might be transferred to Lingnan.

When I came to Gao Lishi's study, Gao Lishi had just come back, changed into a loose Zen robe and fiddled with his hobbies in the room.

Gao Lishi has a wide range of hobbies, but he has two biggest hobbies, one is wood, the other is stone, especially jade. His study is filled with all kinds of jade, not only Khotan jade, but also Kunlun jade, Lantian jade and Xiuyu, and even high-quality East China Sea crystal.

Li Ye recognized at a glance that the jade in front of Gao Lishi was the famous Youxian Pillow, which was actually a piece of Khotan white jade seed material in the shape of a pillow. It was engraved with three mountains, five lakes and fairy mountains and islands. If you use it as a pillow to sleep, you can travel to famous mountains and rivers in various places in your dreams.

But this immortal pillow was a collection of his grandfather Li Linfu, how could it be in the hands of Gao Lishi?
Li Ye suddenly realized that his grandfather might still have contacts with Gao Lishi in secret.

"The younger generation pays homage to Gao Weng, please greet Gao Weng!"

Gao Lishi smiled and nodded, "Sit down!"

Gao Lishi's room was covered with mats, and he could sit on the floor. Li Ye sat cross-legged, but he was still not used to kneeling.

"How is your grandfather?"

Li Ye shook his head, "This junior hasn't seen grandfather for a long time."

"You have to visit him often. After all, he has great expectations for you. Last time he favored the eldest grandson, there was no way. You have to understand his difficulties."

Li Ye hurriedly said: "I will visit my grandfather, thank you Gao Weng for reminding me, I really didn't take that matter to heart."

Gao Lishi nodded, "Actually, I'm looking for you today, you should know it well, it's for Zheng Ang, the censor, to impeach you. You don't need to explain to me, the key is that you have to explain to the emperor."

Li Ye was silent for a moment, then took out a wooden box from his bosom, and pushed it to Gao Lishi, "This is the wealth that Yuan Maitreya and others amassed frantically in two months, a total of 15 guan!"

Gao Lishi looked at Li Ye in astonishment, and said for a while, "How did you guess that I was going to ask about this?"

Li Ye said indifferently: "Of course I can't guess it, but I know that Yang Guozhong can't hide this matter, but I can't hide it from the emperor. In fact, I don't intend to hide it. I left the 15 guan to hand it over to the emperor at a critical moment. I believe the emperor will give me a chance for the sake of money."

Gao Lishi praised: "You are really smart. Dugu Lie only found the [-] guan money that was collected that day. Where did the money collected in the previous two months go? It's as if it disappeared out of thin air. Today, the emperor told me that if you know the current affairs, then I will give you a chance."

"How does the emperor know that I took it?"

Gao Lishi smiled slightly and said: "Those people carry important documents with them, not to mention their belongings. There is a secret pocket in Yuan Mile's underwear, but it is empty. Yuan Mile was killed by you, so you are most likely to take it away."

"What chance did the emperor give me?"

"The day after tomorrow is November [-]th, and the Son of Heaven will hold a court meeting on the matter of Yunyang County. If you can refute Zheng Ang and others at the court meeting, then not only will you not be punished, you may even be rewarded."

"The emperor will reward me?" This was beyond Li Ye's expectation.

Gao Lishi laughed meaningfully, "You gave the imperial concubine a top-quality gemstone, and the empress should return you a favor!"

Li Ye's heart warmed up, and the imperial concubine really interceded for her.

When Li Ye returned home, it was already dark, but he saw his mother was still waiting for him in the yard, and he could see the undisguised worry in his mother's eyes.

"Mom, you're still worried!"

Pei Sanniang rubbed her son's hair and said, "Actually, I still think our family is the happiest when you play polo, but since you became an official, our mother and son have been apart for several years. Mother dreams of you at night. Finally, the whole family is reunited, and this kind of thing happens again, which always makes people worry. Yeer, your father and I have discussed it. If you are worried about our safety, your father can resign from the office and our family will go to Suiye together."

Li Ye was moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since mother is so worried, I will tell you the details. I will never have anything to do. I have the imperial concubine to guarantee me the bottom line. No matter how much those people toss and clamor, the imperial concubine will definitely keep me safe."

"why?"

Li Ye pointed to the gold bracelet on his mother's hand, which was inlaid with five precious stones of red, blue, green, yellow, and purple, all of which were of high quality. This means that the five gemstones he planned to give to Mrs. Guo last time, but Mrs. Guo refused, so he inlaid them for his mother, and gave them to her yesterday.

"Does mother like these five gems?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

Pei Sanniang nodded, "Of course I like what you gave Mother, but I went to Dongshi today to show it to a jeweler, and they said it was an extremely precious gemstone, and they were willing to pay [-] yuan to buy it. It's so expensive that I dare not wear it."

"This is indeed a very precious gem, but I present a gem to the imperial concubine, which is ten thousand times more precious than this one. It is a rare thing in the world, and the imperial concubine wears it on her chest. If I have something to do, the imperial concubine will definitely return my favor."

"This is your wishful thinking!"

Pei Sanniang frowned and said: "How could the imperial concubine remember such a trivial matter, perhaps she may not think that it is a favor owed to you, and it is only right for you as a courtier to offer her gems."

Li Ye shook his head, "Gao Lishi told me this, the imperial concubine has already interceded with me."

Pei Sanniang's heart fell to the ground immediately, and everyone in Chang'an knew that as long as the imperial concubine wanted it, she could pick off the moon from the sky.

There is a noble concubine interceding for her son, why do I worry about it?

Pei Sanniang suddenly remembered something, she blinked and said with a smile: "As soon as you left in the afternoon, Miss Suzaku came and she gave you a painting, which is on your desk. You can go and see for yourself! I don't understand what the painting means?"

Li Ye blushed, and his expression was a little twitchy. There must be a secret in the painting, how could his mother just open it and look at it casually?

"Let me be clear first, I didn't mean to look at your paintings, but I accidentally broke the thread binding the paintings."

Pei Sanniang covered her mouth with a smile, and hurried back to her room.
