Chapter 12-4: Temporary stay in the cold palace
Deyi said these words casually on the surface, but his eyes never left Wu Mei. He kept watching Wu Mei's every move. Wu Mei's expression was abnormal and he did not escape his eyes.
As expected, as he expected, what else is there? Is the little princess unwilling to say anything about this martial arts talent?
If this is the case, the result of the matter will be interesting. If the little princess doesn't want to mention it, it must be something related to the royal face.
Although this martial arts talent is different, she still said nothing wrong. After all, she is still His Majesty's concubine. Some things, although she did it, can represent His Majesty's face in a certain aspect.
In other words, her every move, spread outside, is related to His Majesty's face.
Thinking of this, Deyi became angry again: "Since the talented man knows, should we say more? We heard that Wu Cairen has a good relationship with his brothers in his family, but although his relationship is not good, he is also a close relative of blood. This cannot be changed. Cairen doesn't want to make the entire Wu family... they will be in trouble."
Indeed, what Wu Mei did was enough to make the entire Wu family bury her.
Not only was he conspiring to murder the prince, but he also had a shameful relationship with Li Zhi.
Wu Mei lowered her head, obviously not as sharp as before, and her whole body became much deeper.
"Is there anything else that Wu Cairen wants to say?" Deyi asked.
"No more." Wu Mei whispered: "As I should say, don't my father-in-law already know?"
Wu Mei did not speak much, but followed Deyi's words, because Deyi in front of her was too profound and she couldn't see through it. However, when she heard her words, if she recognized her, her family would not have anything to do.
But if we continue to resist stubbornly, the entire Wu family will be in trouble with her. Since the result is like this, why bother to drag one Wu family?
Since her father passed away, Wu Mei and his mother have not lived a good life under the bullying of the Wu brothers, but despite this, the Wu brothers still have blood relationships with her. Now, don't drag them in.
Wu Mei doesn't want to "ow" them.
"Since that's the case," Deyi looked at Wu Mei and pondered for a moment: "Then please feel aggrieved here for the time being, and wait for Your Majesty's despair." Deyi said.
Wu Mei nodded and looked around again. She was no longer curious about why there was such a desolate place in the palace, but was confused about her current situation.
What will be the next result? When Deyi told His Majesty this result, if he did not die, he would probably have to live here in the future.
Deyi left four guards to guard Wu Mei here, and he took the eunuch around him back to Ganlu Hall.
Deyi left, and Wu Mei simply wandered around the desolate cold palace on her own, while she ignored the four guards following her.
Since you want to follow, then follow.
In the Ganlu Palace, His Majesty Li Er got the result.
"Is it really done by Wu Mei?" His Majesty Li Er confirmed.
"I heard Wu Cairen admit that he could not be wrong, but I vaguely felt that this matter did not seem to be over." Deyi said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Wu Cairen have no grudges, so why should I murder Your Highness the Crown Prince? If something really happened to the Crown Prince, who would benefit?"
His Majesty Li Er nodded while listening. The prince's position was vacant, and it must have benefited from other princes. Looking at the city of Chang'an, there are only three princes, King Wu, King Wei, and a King of Jin who had just married.
These three people...
Now there is almost a triangle frame between Li Chengqian, the King of Wu and the King of Wei. If the King of Wu and the King of Wei are interested in the throne, there is no need to let yourself suffer so much. They have been so close to Li Chengqian for so many years and do not cultivate their own power in the court at all. As for King of Jin, they have just become relatives and have no sense of existence in the palace in the past.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't think of anything for a moment.
"Deyi, didn't you ask Wu Mei this question?" His Majesty Li Er threw the question to Deyi.
Deyi shook his head: "When the old slave interrogated Wu Cairen, Wu Cairen refused to explain. The old slave used some verbal means to cheat him out."
"Well, since you already know that it was him, if the secret guards investigated here, it would be a result soon. Let the secret guards investigate. In addition, during this period, let Wu Mei calm down in that cold palace, send two palace servants to clean up the place she lives, and then deal with it separately after everything was found out." His Majesty Li Er said calmly.
His Majesty Li Er was very disliked when the concubines in the harem used such methods. No emperor of that dynasty would like such concubines.
"No." Deyi responded.
"In addition, Yizi did a good job in the palace this time, so what should I give her some reward?" His Majesty Li Er was very pleased when he remembered Jinyang's behavior in dealing with Xiao Wu's affairs.
The life of a guard is nothing. What makes His Majesty Li Er happy is that Jinyang's method of dealing with things is worthy of being his daughter of Li Shimin, and he is indeed quite fatherly.
His Majesty Li Er's problem has made Deyi difficult. The little princess lacks nothing in the palace, so what else can she reward? The rare items from the Interior Department were sent to the Warehouse except in the Lizheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, the gems that the envoys from Nanzhao paid tribute to him on the eve of the New Year are still in the Internal Affairs Office. Why would your Majesty ask the craftsmen to make some jewelry for His Highness? Seeing that His Highness Jinyang and the Empress are very simple in food, clothing, housing and transportation in the palace, the jewelry on his head is not as luxurious as the little girl's house always likes beautiful jewelry." Deyi suggested.
"I have forgotten that if you don't say it, those gems and other craftsmen will make jewelry, take out part of them and give them to Shizi, and put them in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the future, they will all be considered as Shizi's dowry." His Majesty Li Er said.
When talking about the dowry, His Majesty Li Er remembered that when Changle got married, he wanted to give more dowry, but was tried hard by the ministers, and in the end he had to follow the ancestral system.
After all, he is also the legitimate daughter. As a father, he is wrong to love his daughter. By the day when Yizi gets married, no matter how the people from the Ministry of Rites oppose it, this dowry must not be missed!
Deyi smiled slightly and nodded in response to this matter.
Since the little princess was ten years old, His Majesty had already started preparing dowry for the little princess on weekdays. After accumulating this bit by bit, it is probably not a small amount now. Today, I have added another sum to the little princess' dowry.
