Xian Xian

Li Chaoge and the female officer's movements stopped together. Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows secretly, Li Shan actually interceded for Li Zhen? How should I put it, her prince brother is really good-hearted, but her brain is really not enough.

The Queen hated the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu so much that she would not let them rest in peace for many years. After all the hardships, the queen finally became the winner. As a result, his son felt that the enemy's daughter was pitiful, and even ran over to plead.

Li Shan’s voice intermittently came from inside: "Mother, there are people who have been wronged, and there are debtors. Moreover, Concubine Xiao Shu has been dead for so many years. Even if you resent Concubine Xiao Shu, you should not be angry with the child. The eldest sister is already twenty-two this year. But I'm still waiting to be married in the palace. I don't even have any decent clothes. After all, the eldest sister is the father's child. If it is passed on, wouldn't it? Let me tell you to be a mother or not? On the face, let the eldest sister get married."

The Queen of Heaven sounded like she was **** off, and said angrily: "You have been a prince for a long time, and learned a kind of compassion and compassion. Instead, I became a wicked person. Now you have mercy on Li Zhen, don't you? Know if I didn’t. It’s ruthless. When Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang come back, Li Zhen’s situation is yours now! If I don’t kill them, they will kill me. Do you think Concubine Xiao Shu will pity your brothers and sisters by then? "

Li Chaoge nodded secretly, and the Queen was cruel, but these words were correct. Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu are not ordinary people who can get to this point. If it was the Tianhou Palace that failed, the Queen's fate would not be much better than that of Concubine Xiao Shu. The situation of Li Shan and Li Chaoge might be even worse. No? And Li Zhen. When Li Chaoge is imprisoned in Yeting, will Concubine Xiao Shu's children speak for Li Chaoge?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, there is really no need to be. Now that Concubine Xiao Shu's children are in a weak position, they are naturally pitiful, but who knows whether they will or not? They will hold a grudge. If the two were let go out of pity, and they would raise a tiger in the future, when they retaliated against the Queen of Heaven, they would not care about brotherhood like Li Shan.

The female officer cleared her throat and preached to the hall?: "Princess Sheng Yuan is here."

There was silence inside, and Li Chaoge entered the hall without changing his face, as if he didn't see a mess in the hall: "See the Queen of Heaven, see the Prince."

When the queen saw Li Chaoge, her tone was calmer, but her face was still stern: "Chaoge, you are here."

"Yes." Li Chaoge bent down and picked up the slips that had fallen on the ground, didn't he? Put them on the desk in front of the sky, and put them together neatly. "The prince has a kind heart and a pure heart. What if there is anything? No? It’s just for the good of the queen. How can mother and son have an overnight hatred, what does the queen have? Speak to the prince slowly, don’t get angry and hurt your body."

Li Chaoge sorted out the folds for the queen, and then helped his sleeves to study the ink. Tianhou's face slowly eased, she glanced at Li Shan, who was standing down in the hall, and said coldly: "Okay, you go down? Go."

Li Shan bowed his head and bowed down. When going out, Li Shan heard the queen in the palace say to Li Chaoge: "He is the elder brother, but he still wants to ask you to intercede with him. Doesn't he, the prince and eldest brother? Know how?"

The female officer gave a light cough and smiled and called: "His Royal Highness, go slowly."

Li Shan returned to his senses, smiled silently, and walked down the stairs.

In the Great Hall of Justice, Li Chaoge placed the folded paper that Tianhou had thrown down, and then slowly withdrew to the stage. The maidservants in the palace breathed a long sigh of relief. The queen was angry and no one dared to step forward. Fortunately, Princess Sheng Yuan came. Princess Sheng Yuan personally researched the ink for Tian Hou, and Tian Hou passed away with enthusiasm, leaning on the armchair showing fatigue. Only then did the maid dared to step forward to clean the broken tea cups on the ground, moving quietly, fearing that she might make a noise to the queen.

The Queen rubbed her eyebrows and hated iron? Cheng Gangdi and Li Chaoge said, "The prince is confused, for whom are I working so hard to deal with government affairs? I am devoted to paving the way for the prince, and he is good, but instead complains about my cruel heart and ran over to Concubine Xiao Shu. The daughter begged. I was really mad at me."

Li Chaoge stood in the audience and promised, but in his heart he thought that the queen was not? It was for the prince, and the queen was for himself. Li Chaoge did not express these thoughts, and Ying and Tianhou said: "What the Tianhou said is that you are a kind mother, but the poor prince can't understand it. The prince grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and all the officials around him are scholars? After a long time, it is inevitable that you will be bound by the words of Confucius and Mencius. It is for this reason that the prince needs? You will check him."

The queen snorted, her expression improved a lot. The Queen of Heaven remembered what she said just now, but she was still so angry: "Li Zhen that slut. I heard the court report that the prince had gone to Ye Ting. I thought they were siblings after all, and there was no hindrance. Li Zhen is good, take it. Didn’t you get the prince’s money? Said that he even hooked the prince to intercede with her and wanted to marry her. Oh, dream of her spring and autumn."

Although Li Zhen has no name and no distinction, she is still Li Chaoge's sister from the point of view of blood relationship. Li Chaoge waited for the queen to finish scolding, and then said: "You are the mother of a country and the aunt of the princesses and princes. You are young and sensible. I can only trouble you to bear with me. The saint trusts you, and you are responsible for everything inside and outside the palace. After all, money and things are trivial matters. What will happen after that, don’t they? It’s up to the Queen of Heaven to make arrangements."

The Queen of Heaven took a nasty breath in her heart. Yes, let her Li Zhen go any longer. She tried her best, but whether she could marry and what to marry? The Queen had the final say. The Queen slowly wondered? She didn't want Li Chaoge to listen more, so she said: "I am calling you today because there is something to tell you."

Li Chaoge also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zhen is considered to be Li Chaoge's older sister. Li Chaoge is unmarried and a junior, so it's really hard to get involved in the concubine's affairs. Li Zhen is the daughter of Concubine Xiao Shu. How does Li Zhen deal with the emotional dispute involving the emperor and the queen? As a courtier and daughter, Li Chaoge had better shut up.

Li Chaoge took advantage of the trend and changed the subject and said, "My son is listening."

Tianhou said: "Mrs. Korea sent me a letter yesterday, saying that someone died in their house, don’t you? I know how they went to Dali Temple. Mrs. Korea didn’t want Dali Temple to interfere in their housework, so she asked me to complain. You go. Take a trip to Helan Mansion, get rid of the dead person, and stop by the Wu family to see your grandmother's body."

Li Chaoge nodded: "Erchen understands."

After Li Chaoge took the order, he quickly came out of the Great Hall of the Great Hall of Fame. Now the government affairs are handled by the Queen of Heaven, who is too far away, so she found a palace next to her bedroom Wencheng Hall. Opposite the Dayi Hall is just under the door, so it is much more convenient to distribute documents.

After Li Chaoge left the palace, he returned to the town's demon division to call for someone, and then walked to the Korean lady's residence. On the way, Bai Qianhe asked: "Commander, what did the Queen of Heaven look for? What's the matter?"

"There is a murder case in Mrs. Korea's house. She didn't want Dali Temple to intervene, so she let us take the case."

As soon as Bai Qianhe heard it, these emperor relatives were more exquisite, and the Korean lady was the queen's elder sister, becoming more and more delicate. Human relations are inevitable in the officialdom, and the functions of the Town Demon Division and Dali Temple overlap. It is normal to run errands for these powerful people occasionally.

Bai Qianhe suddenly approached, lowered his voice and asked, "I heard that the prince was going to find the Queen of Heaven today, don’t you? Know what you said? It made the Queen of Heaven furious. The commander also went to Dayi Hall. When you went, Did you meet the prince?"

Li Chaoge shook his head faintly, didn't he want to say more, said: "The affairs of the East Palace have nothing to do with us. The crown prince is the foundation of the country, so naturally there are saints and queens who are the masters. It is enough for us to do our own things."

Bai Qianhe's words were a temptation. It was a fact that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse. Even if the courtiers were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, they would inevitably find a way out for themselves at this moment. Datang’s concubines are distinct, and the throne is only passed on to the concubines, and the next emperor will only be born in Prince Li Shan and Zhao Wang Li’s arms. Li Chaoge, as the commanding envoy of the town's demon division, the daughter of the emperor's queen, whom does she favor?

However, it now appears that Li Chaoge is not biased towards anyone. Bai Qianhe pondered and pondered, leaving it aside?

Since Li Chaoge said not to take care of the East Palace, they should continue to keep their distance from the Prince. Anyway, Bai Qianhe is just a small person, and the big wind and waves can't blow him.

Li Chaoge rode to the Helan Mansion. The concierge of Helan's house saw Li Chaoge and ran down to greet him: "See Princess Shengyuan. Please go inside the princess, and the slave will go and report to Madam."

Mrs. Korea is the sister of the Queen of Heaven. She was originally just an ordinary person. She married an ordinary official, He Lanyue, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, He Lanqing and He Lanmin. Later, the Queen of Heaven made her fortune, and the Wu family followed suit. The Queen named her father Wu Shou Yue Zhou Guogong, and her mother Yang as Mrs. Rongguo. The two sisters were also named Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Weiguo respectively.

The Queen honored her mother, elder sister, and younger sister, but not her elder brother, which is quite intriguing. Yang's marriage to the Wu family was the second marriage. She gave birth to three daughters one after another and no son. In front of the three sisters of the Queen of Heaven, the Wu family also had a son, Wu Hong, who had come from the original consort. Wu Hong and Tianhou were almost twenty years old. When Tianhou was ten years old, Wu Shouyue died. After that, it was the Wu family's turn to take charge of the family. Step-son and daughter-in-law are in the family, don't you have to count on how filial Mrs. Yang, the queen was treated harshly when she was a child. Waiting for the queen to become a queen, let alone supporting the Wu family uncle and brother, don't you kill them all because the queen is in a good mood.

Although the Queen of Heaven pursued her father's title, the Duke of Zhou, who was Wu Shou's covenant, was not passed down, and now the Wu family relied on Yang's face to make a living. Tianhou did this on purpose. She just wanted to tell the Wu family and even the world that the glory of the Wu family depends on giving birth to a good daughter, Wu Zhao, who has nothing to do with the man of the Wu family.

It can be seen that Tian Hou is indeed a very vengeful, very strong person.

In the third generation of the Wu family, step-brother Wu Hong has two sons, Wu Yuanxiao and Wu Yuanqing; his sister, a wife of South Korea, is a widow, with one son and one daughter, He Lanqing and He Lanmin; his sister, Mrs. Weiguo, is a widow and has no children, and now lives in the Wu family to accompany Yang. lady. The Queen of Heaven is considered the most fertile sibling, with two sons and two daughters, namely Prince Li Shan, Princess Shengyuan Li Chaoge, Zhao Wang Lihuai, and Princess Guangning Li Changle.

The Queen is not a fake to her step-brother, but it's okay to her two nephews. After all, the Yang family has no sons, and He Lanqing's surname is Helan, so the Wu family's incense still has to fall on his nephew.

The concierge went inside to report, and after a while, the Helan family greeted him. He Lanmin hurried over and saluted Li Chaoge: "Princess Shengyuan."

Li Chaoge nodded lightly: "Cousin Helan."

When Li Chaoge finished speaking, he didn't mean to retell the past, and He Lanmin didn't dare to post it hard. Li Chaoge's aura is too strong. He Lanmin and Li Chaoge are not familiar, so don't you dare to fight like Li Changle.

He Lanmin walked beside Li Chaoge. It was Helan's house, but Li Chaoge just stepped out of the master's posture. He Lanmin chased to the side, like Li Chaoge's maidservant.

Li Chaoge had long legs, and she was wearing a neat uniform of the Demon Secretary, walking on the corridor like a rainbow, and He Lanmin had to trot to keep up. Li Chaoge asked: "How is the Korean lady's health these days?"

"My mother is all well and well. I have been sleepy and lazy recently." He Lanmin said, "My mother has no strength, so I asked me to welcome Princess Shengyuan. Princess, the people from Dali Temple are here today, but they are dead. It’s just a maid, they don’t want to ask for mercy, they have to search. They have been there since the morning, and they have not been searched until now, and they don’t? Know what they have? What can be searched."

He Lanmin's words were full of complaints, as if a life had died, and it was not worth her being disturbed and clean. Didn't Li Chaoge say anything? He said, "Take me to the scene of the murder."

He Lanmin was startled: "But, my mother is still waiting in the main courtyard..."

"Life is big." Li Chaoge's tone was flat, but it was full of the smell of inadequacy. "I'll go to greet my aunt in a while. Now, let's see the scene first."

He Lanmin led Li Chaoge to the yard where the accident occurred. When he reached the door, He Lanmin showed hesitation on his face and was reluctant to go in. Who is willing to lean on the dead in the house of young young Ai's daughter? Li Chaoge didn't say anything, he strode directly into the hospital.

Li Chaoge never counts on others, she is enough on her own. Sure enough, the courtyard was surrounded by Dali Temple. There was a seal on the door of the house. Yamen dressed in dark blue clothes came and went in and out, and some people were holding paper to collect footprints around them. Through the half-open window, you can see a long back standing in the room, looking at the wall.

The people in the courtyard were shocked when they saw Li Chaoge. They were about to salute and were stopped by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge motioned everyone to be quiet, and she quietly walked into the house. Li Chaoge approached Gu Mingke lightly and leaped to his side and asked, "What do you think?"

Chu Mao was looking at the corpse when he suddenly shuddered when he heard the voice of a woman in the room. But Gu Mingke himself, who was frightened, didn't respond, and said plainly?: "Look at the scene."

Li Chaoge didn't scare anyone. He folded his arms boredly, and stood beside Gu Mingke and asked, "What's the matter? An ordinary servant girl in Helan Mansion was killed violently, so she could bother Shaoqing himself?"

Gu Mingke is a fourth-rank official and the second in command of Dali Temple. If it is an ordinary murder case, he is far from going to go. He came to Helan Mansion to search in person today. Naturally, there are other reasons.

Gu Mingke stretched out his hand and rubbed it against the wall, and calmly said: "The murder happened? At the house of the Korean wife, the Korean wife is the queen's eldest sister, so she can't wait to take it lightly."

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, completely disbelief of his reason: "Just because of this?"

"Naturally." After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he wiped his fingertips clean with a kerchief, and said in a low voice, "Also, this may be a serial case."

Serial case? Li Chaoge became interested. She walked to Gu Mingke's side, took a close look at where he was just rubbing, and asked, "What? What is a serial case?"

"On the 30th of last month, a lady from a wealthy family coughed up blood and died. On March 12, the wife of Guanglu Temple Liangjian Cheng died suddenly. Before her death, she suffered from abdominal pain and died of vomiting blood. The house is stable, no hatred, and no grudges, so they are all settled on the basis of death. But yesterday, Helan Mansion also died of a maidservant, who died of abdominal pain and vomiting blood. I think there is a difference in this, so I came to the Korean lady's house to investigate one. two."

Li Chaoge nodded and said: "Miss of the rich, the wife of the nine-rank official, and the maid of the house of the Korean lady. These people seem to have nothing to do with each other, and they may not even know each other at all. Do you think this is a series? The case, just because they died similarly?"

"There is no evidence yet. This is just my guess." After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he walked towards Chumao, "Is the corpse checked yet?"

Chu Mao shook his head and said, "No, it will take a while."

Li Chaoge followed and looked down at the corpse. The woman closed her eyes and lay quietly on the white cloth shelf, unable to see the pain of death. Judging her brows and eyes, she was considered a little beauty when she was alive.

Li Chaoge asked: "Who is she?"

"Handmaid." After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he paused for a while, as if he was considering his words, "It's just that his identity is a little bit special."

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Why did Gu Mingke hesitate? What is he avoiding? Li Chaoge immediately asked: "What a special law?"

"There is nothing special about Wanxiang, if you have to? If you say it, she is my favorite maid." A thin, smiling voice came from the door, and Li Chaoge looked back and saw He Lanqing leaning against the door, with the folding fan in his hand slowly hitting the palm of his hand. , Smiled at Li Chaoge, "It's been a long time? See you, Princess Sheng Yuan."

He Lanqing's face was pale, with a little vermilion on her lips as blood as sand, as if she was going to take a bite. Only in March, He Lanqing had changed into a flimsy gauze. At this moment, he was leaning against the door, and the placket of his clothes was faintly visible.

Is there already something outside? The young maid blushed, and Li Chaoge only glanced at it before looking away, looking up at Gu Mingke: "You hesitated just now because this woman is a maid?"

The aristocratic princes are sensible early, and often the maid opens the meat on the 13th and 4th. Afterwards, the Qinlou Chuguan stays in the room, as long as they don't get a child, the family keeps one eye open. A few families with strict control, such as the Pei family, would prohibit their nephews from getting involved in Fengyue Place, but they also tacitly agreed to the maid around Lang Jun.

No one thinks it is a big deal for Lang Jun to sleep with one or two women. The maidservant is his own property, as long as he doesn't? Even the mother-in-law did not want to be taken away by the foxes outside for her son, and would specially arrange a maidservant with a round waist and a round waist beside her son. Does Lang Jun need them? They are tools, and don't need them, they are servant girls.

Those aristocratic teenagers looked at Guangfeng Jiyue and Maolin Xiuzhu. In fact, there were not few beautiful maidservants in private. At least nine of the ten aristocratic princes had fallen asleep before marriage. Everyone is accustomed to it. Is it possible for a man to marry a maid, and the right lady would not bother to be angry with an object.

Well-known princes are like this, let alone He Lanqing's fame. Up and down the Helan Mansion, there are only a handful of maids who have not been slept by He Lanqing. When Li Chaoge saw the beautiful face of the woman, he had an expectation in his heart, but Gu Mingke hesitated about this kind of thing.

Gu Mingke really finds this kind of thing hard to tell. The heavenly court has strict laws and lacks desires. In contrast, mortals are too messy. The maid and the lord have? What good is it? Is it a good thing, isn’t it? It’s suitable for women to listen to. Gu Mingke was thinking about how to make it through. He didn’t expect He Lanqing’s assassination to reveal it. Even Li Chaoge said, "Why are you even this I haven't seen it before."

Gu Mingke was silent. He put down his handkerchief, curled his sleeves and walked outside: "Say slowly, I'm going out first."

Beichen Tianzun's eyes are not good, and his heart is full of mortals who are simply indifferent, which is reasonable. Li Chaoge didn't expect that he would be annoyed when he said something casually. She chased out with a smile, and said, "He Lanqing is out of fame, so it's not difficult to guess this kind of thing. Could it be that there are no maids around the house?"

"Does the Pei family? No, how do I know?" Gu Mingke glanced at Li Chaoge unmovedly, "If the princess is curious, she should? Go ask Pei Supplements."

Li Chaoge endured a smile and said, "I have no relatives, no reason, no ties, and I asked him what he did? I am only curious about Gu Shaoqing."

He Lanqing followed from behind and heard these words as soon as he approached. He moved startled, and the smile on his mouth was slightly stiff. He glanced over Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, wondering whether they came to Helan Mansion, are they really here to handle the case?

He Lanqing couldn't bear it, coughing hard, and forcibly interrupted the two people in front of her at public expense. When Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge turned their heads, He Lanqing smiled and said: "Let the two of you laughed, Wanxiang is my favorite maid, I just haven't visited her for a while, she somehow got sick and died of coughing up blood. No? What a major event, now that Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Princess Sheng Yuan are invited to visit in person, which really makes me sincere and terrified."

Li Chaoge knew He Lanqing's virtues a long time ago, but when she heard these words, she still couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, and asked, "No? What's the big deal?"

The most beloved woman is dead, is He Lanqing? It's all about the slightest expression of sorrow, and she even said that this is not? What a big deal. Those women want to live, die, and lose heart because of such a person. They are really blind.

The irony in Li Chaoge’s voice is obvious, and He Lanqing has no guilt, and even smiled: “It’s my fault, I knew it, I should have come to see her half a month ago. Maybe I’m here, and she’s sad. ?, you won't die of illness."

It's scumbag to be justified and self-satisfied. Li Chaoge sneered and said: "Helan Langjun should not think too much of yourself? Your maidservant was not depressed because he missed you. She was most likely killed. Gu Shaoqing, do you think that? ?"

Gu Mingke is not hurried, he said leisurely?: "The princess is well-informed and proficient in human relationships and sophistication. Ask me what to do?"

Li Chaoge's eyebrows twitched. She raised her head and quietly glared at Gu Mingke: "Gu Shaoqing, this is working time, don't you want to bring personal emotions into official business."

Gu Mingke was still angry with Li Chaoge's words just now, don't Li Chaoge? Know that he has? What? It's so good, but in the past Gu Mingke used to block her on official business, now Li Chaoge returned this sentence to him intact.

Let him feel that he is so gagged and out of breath.

Gu Mingke's eyes lit up for a moment, he closed his eyes and immediately calmed down. Li Chaoge is really good. Gu Mingke didn't expect that one day, he would be said by others, "No? Want? Bring personal emotions into official business."

He Lanqing stood here obviously, but was once again excluded. This is simply unique in He Lanqing's life? In the past, whenever he was there, which woman didn't try her best to stick to him, and there has never been a woman who left him in the cold for other men! Now, He Lanqing deliberately changed her clothes, and took the initiative to speak up, but was still ignored by Li Chaoge.

He Lanqing pursed her mouth, her face quickly sinking? Go away. At this time, Chu Mao stepped forward and crossed his hands at Gu Mingke?: "Shaoqing, the body inspection is finished."

"What about footprints and other exhibits?"

"All have been collected, and you can use it when you go back."

Gu Mingke nodded. He thought that he had lived for several thousand years, didn't he? As for angering a seventeen-year-old girl, he controlled his emotions and said to Li Chaoge: "We have collected the evidence, let's say goodbye. By the way, the commander today Why did you come to Helan Mansion?"

Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke with a smile, did not hesitate to say: "Come to greet my aunt, Mrs. Korea. By the way, take over the case."

Li Chaoge took out the token from his sleeve and shook it in front of Gu Mingke and Chu Mao. He smiled and said, "Thank you Gu Shaoqing for helping me sort out the evidence. But, this case has been handed over to the Town Demon Division. You don’t need to take care of Dali Temple anymore. You don’t need to move the evidence. Keep it. Come on, the Demon Division will sort it out in a while. Oh, by the way, Gu Shaoqing’s guess is very reasonable to me. I will wait for it to go back. , Laofan Shaoqing sent the files of the previous two cases to the Town Demon Division, thank you."

Chu Mao was stunned for a long time, and a puff of air hit his forehead. Since Li Chaoge had already brought Tianhou's will, when Dali Temple was inspecting the body just now, Li Chaoge was standing by and watching, waiting for others to be done before he came out to grab the merits? Yes? Do they do things like this?

Gu Mingke just convinced himself that he should not be angry with a seventeen-year-old girl, and now his Qingxin Mantra is for nothing. Gu Mingke looked at Li Chaoge, and Li Chaoge looked at each other with a smile. In the end, Gu Mingke smiled lightly, staring at Li Chaoge, did not hesitate to say: "No, thank you."
