The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 109
Outside the imperial study room, the young man's figure was as tall and straight as a pine bamboo, and he seemed to be a little more unclear than before.It was cold outside the hall, and he was also dressed thickly, but the ambiguous red mark on his neck clearly reminded what happened between Shu Yao and the two of them.

Shu Yao realized for a moment why she didn't rest well last night - usually in Huaxi Palace, Li Mingji would sleep in the Warm Pavilion next to her bedroom, and he would appear by her side on time when she had nightmares or needed a drink of water in the middle of the night.

Afterwards, she moved to the Princess's Mansion. Although she had prepared a separate courtyard for Li Mingji, after meeting the snake that night, Li Mingji moved to the wing of the Begonia Courtyard, where she could also see it at a glance.

But last night, without Li Mingji by her side, she was not used to it.

"The county lord."

Li Mingji opened his mouth, with a slight smile in his gentle eyes, "How did the princess rest last night? Did you feel uncomfortable?"

Uncomfortable... what is uncomfortable?
Shu Yao was stunned for a while, then blushed, and silently warned Li Mingji with her eyes: Nothing happened yesterday, don't talk nonsense!

Li Mingji smiled, and changed the subject, "The princess called his subordinates, what's the matter?"

Shu Yao said, "I'll take you to meet someone."

In fact, it's okay not to call Li Mingji over, but Shu Yao found that if she was left alone to face Li Mingji's father, she would actually be... nervous.

How can this be called tension?It must be because Li Jin refuted the proposal for her to build the princess's mansion in the past, and she has no experience in dealing with such courtiers, so she feels uneasy.

But the hand was suddenly held gently, and the tightly clenched fingers were gently separated one by one. Shu Yao stared at Li Mingji in a daze, but the other party just smiled gently: "The clothes will be torn by you, princess Are you nervous?"

The girl suddenly became angry from embarrassment, as if the snowball had exploded its tail: "This princess doesn't have one!"

Li Jin paced back and forth in the inner room anxiously, the tea on the table was already completely cold.He raised his head and saw that his concubine and the princess were arguing as if no one else was around. The girl's cheeks were red and she was more coquettish than angry. The young man's eyes were smiling and his demeanor was calm.

No one around him looked up, and they all looked familiar, as if the little princess got along with his concubine on a daily basis, and everyone was used to it.

Only Li Jin was surprised.

But it didn't seem so unexpected.He had felt that this child was different from ordinary people a long time ago.

He is so quiet.

Can't cry or make a fuss, as if she doesn't have the emotions and desires of a normal person, she is so sensible that it is shocking.

"Erro."

Li Jin called out in a low voice, feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart.Princess Huaxi is willing to lend a helping hand to him, is it because of Li Mingji?
Li Mingji nodded, and said lightly to his father.

Shu Yao's eyes rolled around.This is a biological father and son meeting, why is it the father who is nervous?This is really strange for father and son.

However, with Li Mingji by his side, Shu Yao was like a child who had found a backer, and she spoke with a bit of confidence: "Master Li, now is the time to tell the princess what you have to hide?"

She didn't even realize that the "weaker" person at the beginning was clearly Li Mingji, and Shu Yao was always supporting Li Mingji.But as Li Mingji gradually took off his disguise in front of her, she couldn't help but began to rely on him.

Li Jin didn't notice the ambiguity flowing between the two, he lowered his eyes, and suddenly sighed deeply, with tears in his eyes: "I beg the Princess, to seek justice for my beloved daughter!"

Since Li Qingchu was accepted as a concubine by the Marquis of Qinyang, she maintained correspondence with the Li family and occasionally met at banquets.Mrs. Li was sad in her heart, and seeing that she looked good and was indeed loved by Qin Yanghou, she felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, some time ago, Li Qingchu suddenly lost the news, and there was no letter from her family back to the mansion.Mrs. Li asked someone to inquire, but only got the news that Li Qingchu was resting.

Especially in the past few days, there were many banquets in the capital. Mrs. Li asked everyone and found the maidservant of Xinqin Yanghou Mansion, but the maidservant said that she had not seen Li Qingchu for a long time.

Hearing that Marquis of Qinyang and Marquis of Changping got close recently, Li Jin took advantage of today's rest to go to Marquis of Changping's mansion to see if the son of Marquis of Changping had seen Li Qingchu.

Unexpectedly, there was a corpse lying across the front street of Changping Houfu, with no clothes covering his body, and the skin on his face was already rotting. It was Li Qingchu whom the Li family had been looking for for many days.

"I have already asked you clearly..." Thinking of what he saw this morning and his crying wife, Li Jin's eyes darkened, "It's Qin Yanghou...he gave the minister's daughter to Changping Hou Shizi."

Li Qingchu was played to death by Changping Hou Shizi!
If Changping Hou Shizi hadn't returned home last night, this rotting corpse would not have been discovered.His daughter, a young, fresh life, was thrown on the road so casually.

Li Jin couldn't wait for a moment, took away Li Qingchu's body, and then went to the palace to ask the saint.I heard from people around me that Emperor Yong was furious yesterday and imprisoned the queen in Anshun Palace to repent, and Changping Hou Shizi was also imprisoned, so he could not confront Changping Hou Shizi.

But even if Changping Hou Shizi admits that he killed Li Qingchu, what can he do with him?These nobles are like this, and human life is as worthless in their eyes.

What's more, Li Jin used to work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and he was familiar with the laws of Dayong, and he knew that there were "eight opinions" in the laws, that is, eight kinds of people, such as relatives of the emperor, ministers and nobles with outstanding talents, unless they committed the "ten evils" such as treason and treason. Serious crimes shall be dealt with in a lower class.That is to say, even if Li Jin sued Changping Houshizi to Dali Temple, Changping Houshizi would be punished only by paying some fines and being locked up in prison for a few days, even his title would not be shaken.

If he wants Changping Hou Shizi to pay for his life, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Li Jin burst into tears, and his footsteps were weak. It was Li Mingji who stretched out his hand to help him, so he didn't fall to the ground: "Princess, forgive me for being stupid. In the past, I offended you by believing in rumors. Today, the princess is willing to take me to the ground. Up to this point, I am very grateful, for the rest, I will find another way..."

Before entering the palace, Li Jin thought for a long time and found that if he wanted to impeach Marquis Changping, no one in the court would support him.Just as he had presented to Emperor Yong many times before, his colleagues around him also made fun of him. They only felt that Dayong's foundation was solid, and it was nothing to have more corrupt officials and build a few palaces. Li Jin was just meddling in his own business.

Compared with these, they are more worried that they will offend those nobles of the family and lose their black hats.They would rather live in silence like this.

Li Jin used to be obsessed with his official career, he didn't care about the affairs of the government, his wife was cowardly, and his three children had their own opinions. Li Jin just sighed and let them develop on their own.It wasn't until he saw Li Qingchu's body that Li Jin realized that he had made a big mistake.

The man is dead, he can't save his daughter's life, he can only sacrifice his life and do something for his daughter.Li Jin knew that Emperor Yong had beaten the aristocratic family many times recently, and the wind direction in the court had changed, and Xie, Zheng, and Cui were no longer the dominant surnames.As long as he can see Emperor Yong, there may be a chance of survival.
