Chapter 39 Don't frown
"Master, Dongxi's subordinates have been placed in Prince Gong's Mansion. I guarantee that Prince Gong will find out soon." Lan Jue said.

Xia Rui came in with hot water and refilled the bathtub. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "It's really an advantage to King Gong if we can't take this opportunity to knock him down directly!"

The court needs a balance between parties. Now Prince Gong's Palace and Bo'anhou Palace are mutually restricting each other. If one of them falls, the other will rise quickly. It is not a good idea for the young emperor who has not yet taken charge of the government. information.

Lan Jue smiled, "But it wouldn't be a bad idea to drive a wedge between him and Li Jiang."

Xia Rui looked over doubtfully.

Lan Jue then explained: "I have asked me to release the news, saying that if Li Jiang encounters difficulties outside, he can return to the palace at any time."

Xia Rui was not stupid, he was just too lazy to be careful in front of his own people. After thinking about it for a while, he understood.

"When King Gong finds out that the dragon robe and jade seal are in his house, he will definitely think that Li Jiang has abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side, and he will join forces with me to deal with him. Then King Gong will no longer trust Li Jiang."

Thinking of this, he finally felt sulky in his heart, but he still felt that it was not enough.

Li Qingmo sat in the bathtub, saying nothing the whole time, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

……

The next day, it was sunny.

The sun was shining just right, driving away the chill of the night.

After breakfast, Nan Xi followed Li Qingmo out.

"Your Majesty, although the sun is out now, you still have to keep warm, otherwise you'll cough again." Nan Xi put the satin cloak around Li Qingmo and stood on tiptoes to help him tie the collar straps.

Xia Rui felt that Nan Xi shouldn't do this kind of thing. Just as he was about to step forward to help, he was pulled back by Lan Jue.

"Why are you pulling me...well! Why are you stepping on me?"

Lan Jue had never seen such a stupid person, so he simply dragged Xia Rui away, almost a hundred steps away from their father, and then gritted his teeth and said: "In the future, Miss Nan wants to do something like dressing my father. Just let her do it, why are you so happy? Why are you joining in the fun? "

Are you happy?
Why didn't he see it?

Xia Rui glanced down and said, "Lan Jue! My newly made shoes were crushed by you!"

Lan Jue: "You deserve it!"

They were walking all the way to Jingzhao Yin. When they passed the jewelry shop, they heard Mrs. Shi's wife complaining to the people in the rice shop next to her family's misfortune.

"This kind of woman deserves to die. She killed my youngest son and she wanted to pay for it with her life. I heard that she would seduce a man before she died. It's really lewd//slutty//slutty."

Coincidentally, the rice shop next to it was the one that Li Qingmo gave to the Nan family couple. At this moment, it was Jiang Wan who heard Mrs. Shi's wife constantly insulting her young daughter-in-law.

Jiang Wan was most interested in asking about other people's gossipy things. She was eating melon seeds in her mouth and was listening enthusiastically. She asked casually: "Is your little grandson back?"

When she mentioned this, Mrs. Shi's wife became even more angry.

"Just like his mother, she is also wild-minded. I don't know how crazy she is. She won't even go back home. She will run back on her own after being hungry for two days."

Jiang Wan wanted to say something else, but she caught a glimpse of Nan Xi from the corner of her eye and subconsciously opened her mouth: "Damn it..."

Then he saw Li Qingmo with a condensed face.

Jiang Wan was so frightened that she threw away the melon seeds, hurried back to the rice shop, and went straight to the backyard. Even when someone called her several times to buy rice, she pretended not to hear him.

Nan Xi didn't notice her and only heard what Shi's mother-in-law had just said.

After all, Mrs. Shi's voice was very high-pitched, as if she didn't want others to know about their family's troubles.

She walked over and asked, "Your grandson hasn't come home yet?"

Mrs. Shi glanced at Li Qingmo who was following Nan Xi. She was so frightened that she lost all her arrogance. She wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but Lan Jue pulled her up.

"Our girl is asking you something." Lan Jue said.Mrs. Shi's wife stuttered back, "No, no."

Nan Xi asked: "How old is your grandson?"

"Six years old."

Nan Xi couldn't understand: "The six-year-old child hasn't come home all day and night. You don't go out to look for him, but you are here yelling and insulting his mother? Where is your eldest son and daughter-in-law?"

The Shi family's mother-in-law did not dare to reply, so she could only swallow all her dissatisfaction, "They went to the temple yesterday and still didn't come back. When they left, they said they wanted to eat there and stay overnight."

"Hurry and find the child." Nan Xi said.

Mrs. Shi quickly glanced at Li Qingmo behind her, as well as Xia Rui and Lan Jue beside her, and then responded, "Okay, okay, I'll go look for it with the old man."

When they arrived at Jing Zhaoyin's place, Nan Xi went to examine Mi Yingping's body again.

Looking at her cold and stiff face, Nan Xi whispered: "You must keep your child safe."

She knew that this would be Mi Yingping's wish.

She escaped from her cell, no doubt to see her children.

"Master Tang, has Mi Yingping ever escaped from prison before?" Nan Xi asked.

Jing Zhaoyin shook his head: "Of course not. She is a relatively honest prisoner. She just sits quietly in the cell on weekdays and eats whatever she wants. She doesn't make any noise. This is probably how the jailer relaxed his guard. He thought she had abdominal pain. What kind of disease is it? I accidentally caught it, and she snatched the cell key and ran out."

Nan Xi still felt that something was wrong.

Where is it?

Seeing her frowning, Li Qingmo's fingertips suddenly felt itchy.

Raising his hand, he followed his heart and smoothed the ravine between Nan Xi's eyebrows.

Nan Xi was slightly startled and raised his head to look at him.

"Don't frown." After Li Qingmo finished speaking, he looked at Jing Zhaoyin, "The cell guards are so lax that a woman can escape easily?"

Nan Xi's eyes lit up.

Correct!
This is where something is wrong!
Even if the jailer lets his guard down, what about the others?How could Mi Yingping run away so easily?
Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to tell the truth, "It was Mi Yingping who bribed Zuo Zuo and begged him to go home just to see the child. His subordinates had already dismissed Zuo Zuo from his position and gave him twenty strokes as punishment. "

It turns out that this is the reason why Zuo can't work now.

Not sick at all.

"Hehehe." Li Qingmo looked at Jing Zhaoyin with cold eyes, "Master Tang, do you think this king is easy to fool?"

Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "I don't dare to do this."

"I think you are very brave."

Jing Zhaoyin bowed his head: "It was Xiaguan's fault for deceiving the prince. Gaozuo also had a soft heart for a moment, so he agreed to Mi Yingping's request. He didn't expect that it would cause a big disaster. Xianguan has already punished Gaozuo, please show mercy to the prince. , spare him a way out."

It is a serious crime to release felons privately.

What's more, the felon died after leaving the cell.

It’s more sin upon sin.

Li Qingmo's face was cold, "If everyone is like you, then what value does our law have? Tang Qingqing, do you still remember that I overcame everyone's objections and asked you to do this Jingzhao?" Yin’s original intention?”

After a pause, he directly ordered: "Take off his black gauze hat and hit the forty big boards again."
