Chapter 50
Shu Yao directly pulled Li Mingji to the hot spring pool, and said, "This is the place where the princess takes a bath, I will lend it to you temporarily, wash off the bloody smell on your body, and then come to see the princess."

Li Mingji is full of good temper: "Obey."

He turned his back and started to untie his belt in front of Shu Yao.The robe fell to the ground, and the beautiful and powerful shoulder and neck lines that only belonged to mature men came into view without any concealment. Shu Yao stared straight at him without blinking.

Shu Yao has only seen two bodies of grown men up close.Apart from Li Mingji, it was the apprentice in the dream.However, Li Mingji was thinner than that disciple, and his skin was cold and fair, and with clothes on, he was no different from those well-mannered scholars...

"Is the princess standing here to watch his subordinates take a bath?"

A young man's smiling voice sounded in his ears.

"This princess doesn't have one!"

Shu Yao was extremely ashamed and annoyed, she was just thinking about things in a daze, she forgot the time all of a sudden, and she didn't want to be a hooligan.

The girl shook her sleeves and left, Li Mingji stared at her back, the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

He loves the lively look of the little princess most.

Now that Emperor Yong has lost trust in Zhang Sheng, it is naturally impossible to have another accident like the previous life where Zhang Sheng opened the city gate to welcome Xiao Sui into the capital.Zhang Sheng had been tortured to the point of death by him, and he didn't have to take his life himself, and he wouldn't live long.

Li Mingji casually took off his clothes.

The scar left earlier had scabbed and fallen off, and he also removed the bandages tied to his body. A scar about three inches long, like a centipede, clung tightly to his waist and abdomen.

He lowered his eyes and stroked the scar lightly, showing nostalgia on his face.

……

Shu Yao had had too much breakfast, so she first went to Yanshou Palace to ask about the situation of the Empress Dowager, and seeing that she had already rested, she went to Chengqian Palace to look for Emperor Yong.

In Chengqian Hall, Emperor Yong was looking through the confession that Li Mingji compiled last night.

He arranged for the banned soldiers to go to prison with Li Mingji, in the name of helping, but in fact it was monitoring.Returning to the Longevity Palace this morning, the forbidden soldiers held the scrolls and mentioned Li Mingji, there was still fear in their eyes, no longer the contempt of yesterday, Emperor Yong thought for a while and guessed what Li Mingji did last night.

With both a calm and calm mind and thunderous means, Emperor Yong became more and more curious about Li Mingji.

"uncle!"

Hearing the girl's sweet and crisp voice, Emperor Yong put down the scroll and smiled at Shu Yao: "Yaoyao is here."

He looked behind Shu Yao, and inadvertently asked, "Where's your guard?"

"He didn't sleep all night, I told him to rest," Shu Yao snorted, "Uncle, the prison is so terrible, how did you arrange for him to interrogate Zhang Sheng? Don't scare away the bodyguard I finally selected. gone."

Emperor Yong couldn't help smiling.

Only his niece, who was raised as a child, still regards Li Mingji as a powerless scholar. Should it be said that Li Mingji is too good at disguising, or is he dumbfounded by his niece's dullness?
But this innocence is priceless.Emperor Yong was used to intrigue since he was a child, and even the concubines and concubines by his bedside did not fall in love with him.Only when he saw the bright smile of the little princess, Emperor Yong felt warm in his heart. It turns out that there is still a place where the sun shines in this world.

Xi, sunlight also.This is not only a title that symbolizes Shu Yao's identity, but also Emperor Yong's expectation for her.

"This is my test for him," Emperor Yong did not tell the truth, "If you can't even do this well, how can you be a personal bodyguard?"

"He can protect me at critical moments, what's wrong?" Shu Yao was noncommittal, "Uncle, how is grandma's health now?"

"Yaoyao's guess is good. Zhang Sheng has already confessed that it is Han Chunhua's problem. The Imperial Hospital is looking for a solution," Emperor Yong said in relief, "I will handle this matter, so don't worry, Yaoyao."

Although he comforted Shu Yao, Emperor Yong was not optimistic, and looked at the scroll in his hand with a complicated expression.

According to Zhang Sheng's confession, he bought Hanchun flowers from a Yunnan businessman. The flowers are non-toxic, but they can make people weak if they are kept by a person's bedside for a long time, making them look like they have a fever.

Cold spring flowers are cold in nature, cold herbs can catalyze the symptoms, and the imperial physicians treated them in the opposite direction from the beginning.The bowl of medicine that Shu Yao brought was heavily dosed, and Zhang Sheng directly mixed pollen into the medicine bag, which made the Queen Mother fall ill.

Zhang Sheng didn't know how serious the illness Han Chunhua would cause, so he just wanted to use Han Chunhua to blame Shu Yao, and give the court ministers who had long disliked Shu Yao a chance to make a fuss.When Emperor Yong couldn't protect her, he could only alienate her.

It has been several months since the last opening of the capital city, and trying to find Yunnan merchants is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.The Tai Hospital did not know much about the plants in the Southwest, so the medicine prescribed could only relieve the empress dowager's symptoms, but could not cure them.The most urgent thing is to seek help from famous doctors all over the world to find a way to detoxify.

Thinking of the chaos last night, Emperor Yong couldn't help feeling cold.

In the past, he was worried about the instability of the throne, so he handed over a lot of power to Zhang Sheng, so as to check and balance the aristocratic family headed by the Xie family.Now that he no longer has these worries, Zhang Sheng lost himself in the power instead, comparing himself to Bigan and Wu Zixu, thinking that he is the only loyal minister who assists Mingjun, so he did not hesitate to attack the princess and the queen mother.

In the final analysis, the accident last night still originated from Emperor Yong.He is always enduring and giving in, which gives people the illusion that anyone can bully him.

He is the emperor, if he can't even protect his relatives, what face does he have to sit on this dragon chair?
"Your Majesty," the palace servants hurried in, "General Xie and Young Prince Xie are begging to see you!"

……

Outside Chengqian Palace.

Old General Xie Hong has already retired, besides the honorary Prince Taifu, Emperor Yong also named him Duke Xie, which can be described as the most courteous treatment.Today he changed into the Duke's court clothes and brought Xie Yanzhou into the palace, his eyes were rare and serious: "Yanzhou, have you made up your mind?"

"I have been happy for a long time. I will not marry anyone else except her." Xie Yanzhou nodded affirmatively, "Grandfather, you must help me."

This is naturally Xie Yanzhou's innermost thoughts.Although Shu Ningyou has the same interests as him and is regarded by him as a confidante, but in terms of status, of course Shu Yao is more worthy of him.

Xie Hong stroked his long beard and pondered: "You and the princess have been a fiancé couple for so many years, and there should be a result. When His Majesty comes over, I will ask him to marry you two."

Although the Taizu stipulated that concubines and county horses of this dynasty were not allowed to be officials, the rules are all determined by people. With the preferential treatment given to the little princess by Emperor Yong, naturally he would not treat her husband badly. Qin Yanghou is very good example of.Marrying the little princess is like adding wings to a tiger to Xie's family, and Xie Hong is also very optimistic about this marriage.

After a while, the palace servant who reported the report went back and forth, "Xie Lao, Xiao Shizi, my servant will take you in."

The news about Yanshou Palace was kept secret last night, Xie Hong only knew that the Empress Dowager was ill, and when he entered the palace, he saw that Zhang Sheng was not by Emperor Yong's side, so he was still a little puzzled.

However, he didn't take these things to heart, he saluted Emperor Yong first, and then gave Xie Yanzhou a look.

Xie Yanzhou immediately lifted up his robe and knelt down in front of Emperor Yong: "I have been pleased with Princess Huaxi for a long time, and I want to marry Princess Huaxi, please grant me the marriage!"
