She knows that she has been growing taller in recent months.
Two days ago, the third sister was dragging her into a competition, complaining that she was suddenly left behind.
It is normal to grow taller.
Just like before, it's time for her to grow taller.
But she felt that when this sentence came out of Xu Jian's mouth, it was different from when it was spoken by others.
Inevitably, Lin Yunyan remembered what Xu Jian said when she was angry with her before.
The words "The princess will grow taller slowly" and the words "You are still greedy for wine at a young age, so you should grow taller in two years first", always just thinking about it makes people want to stare at him.
With a thought in her mind, Lin Yunyan raised her hand and made gestures above her head.
Reluctantly, it only reached Xu Jian's chest.
Suddenly, two fingers fell on the back of the hand and pressed lightly.
Seeing Lin Yunyan's confusion, Xu Jian tapped her fingertips again: "When you gesture, just gesture properly, don't lift it in vain, don't tilt it sideways."
Lin Yunyan laughed angrily.
Why isn’t it a serious gesture?
It may be a little tilted, but that's because she tilted her head up, and she didn't mean to fake it.
Taking her hand back, Lin Yunyan said: "It's not like it's not growing anymore."
Xu Jian laughed again: "It can still grow."
The night was so dark that Lin Yunyan couldn't see Xu Jian's expression at this moment, but in the night, the voice was clearer than in the day.
Heartbeat, smile, passed to the ears.
"Me," she heard the voice and realized it was her. Her head was already open, so she simply asked a question, "How tall can I grow?"
She seemed to have never paid special attention to this issue before, and there was no clear reference around her.
Because Xu Jian couldn't stand up, he couldn't show any detail even when he was sitting or lying down.
"If you are really worried about not growing taller," Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, "You can just jump a few more times."
Lin Yunyan:......
She remained silent, but Xu Jian smiled again: "Grow as tall as you can. You can't always talk to me with your head raised like this. It's really tiring to look at you."
Lin Yunyan glanced at him.
My neck is really sore.
But no matter how long she grows, she can never be taller than Xu Jian.
Just be tired if you are tired.
Lin Yunyan thought, it is easier than pushing a wheelchair.
She doesn't want to push Xu Jian's wheelchair all the time.
Xu Jian's figure has to stand like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan couldn't help but ask: "Is the leg injury really okay?"
Xu Jian didn't tease her with any "injury test" this time, and said: "I covered the hand stove for a while, and I feel much better now. I will be busy at the Yamen in the evening. I asked Shen Chen to change some charcoal before I go there. It should be fine."
He ran west and sat down at Shuntian Mansion."
Hearing what he said, Lin Yunyan sighed: "When I get back home, I'd better take a dip in the medicinal soup."
Xu Jian responded "Okay".
It was getting late, Uncle Niu had prepared the car in front, and Lin Yunyan raised the curtain to go to the store.
"Ayan."
Hearing Xu Jian calling her, Lin Yunyan paused. The curtain was raised without letting go. She stood in the door and looked at Xu Jian: "What's wrong?"
Xu Jian looked at her and just said, "Be careful on the road."
Lin Yunyan nodded slightly.
The oil lamp in the store was bright, and it shined through the door, illuminating Xu Jian's face.
There was no emotion on his face, and he looked a little cold, but Lin Yunyan knew that the palm he was holding her on just now was hot.
The curtain was finally lowered.
Lin Yunyan turned around, and in front of her was the long staircase leading to the second floor.
No one is walking now, but she can clearly remember the sound of footsteps falling on them.
Squeak—squeak—
It fell on her heart.
Shuntianfuli.
Shan Shen frowned and listened to the Fu Cheng and the masters beside him analyze the situation.
After investigating the case for a day, the ins and outs were clear, but there was still no progress in the inside story they wanted to investigate.
And that "Dao Heng" is indeed an excellent fishing bait.
After fishing them to Chenmi Hutong, they disappeared completely without any news.
From appearance to disappearance, everything was just right.
Shan Shen was worried, so he simply walked out of the house and stood on the porch to take a breath. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Jian coming back.
Xu Jian held a food box in her hand and walked up to Shan Shen: "Promise Master Shan to have dinner."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whispering in the room stopped.
Zhang Yuan tilted his body to look out, and saw that the food box had three layers, and it was so big. He immediately smiled and said, "You are so polite, Mr. Guo."
When Shan Shen saw this, he waved his hand and told him to fill his stomach first.
Xu Jian brought a lot here.
Of course it wasn't made by Aunt He's family, but just bought from the restaurant in front of me, and it's still hot at the moment.
There are meat and vegetables, and a few steaming big steamed buns, which makes people relax a lot after a busy day.
Shan Shen touched his belly: "It's a pity that I can't drink wine."
"You can eat the rice," Zhang Yuan bit into the steamed bun with the meat juice, "Forget about the wine, drinking will make things worse."
This makes sense.
Why are you so worried today?
Isn’t it just because His Highness the Crown Prince drank alcohol?
They just finished eating here, and Wantang also arrived.
"Nothing was gained," he said with a long face and a solemn look, "I searched all the places that I could see in the house. No one lives in the neighboring houses. It looks like it has been abandoned for some time. I might as well take it with me.
People turned around.
As a result, only some wine was found. There were also vegetables and meat bought yesterday in the kitchen. The stubborn stones placed in the house, calligraphy and paintings were also checked. They were all good and valuable, but we had to judge from these things.
Master, I can’t decide.
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll dig the ground tomorrow, dig three feet into the ground, and pry open all the floor tiles.”
Xu Jian looked at the document in his hand, read it carefully for a long time, and asked, "Have you two decided what to say in court tomorrow morning?"
Shan Shen and Wantang exchanged glances, each feeling helpless.
They, the veterans, are naturally well aware of the situation they will face during the morning court.
The main purpose is definitely to scold the prince.
When the censors get such an opportunity, they will never avoid taking the easy one. They will even scold the prince, the three orphans, and even the emperor.
However, scolding alone cannot solve the problem.
The person who designed such a big trap for His Highness the Crown Prince did not just listen to a few curse words for fun.
There are other ministers who have their own thoughts, and they will definitely take this opportunity to make more plans.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Pulling and pulling, but not really going too far, standing out from the crowd, eager for quick success, in the end the blame must be turned and directed at the two case-handling yamen.
After all, you can never go wrong if you supervise and handle cases.
Unfortunately, their two yamen have no suitable information to report for the time being.
Wantang wiped his face: "I don't mind being called mediocre and useless."
He just doesn't want to be a scapegoat to settle conflicts.
In the end, it was all the fault of Shuntian Mansion and the garrison Yamen.
Shan Shen also let out a long sigh, looked up and saw Xu Jian frowning in thought, and asked, "What do you think, Duke Guo?"
Xu Jian said: "I'm thinking about how the Lord wants to end it."
Speaking of which, it is a sin to speculate on the holy will at will.
But if you don’t understand the holy will while walking in the court, you won’t be able to go far.
Even if the idea is contrary to the holy will, it will cause big trouble.
After all, the ministers can easily defeat the Holy One.
Of course, it does not mean that the ministers will obey whatever the Holy One thinks. If the Holy One makes mistakes, they should give advice as well.
But in general, the premise of everything is to "clarify".
Everyone is unclear, who can seduce whom?
"According to what I saw today," Shan Shen wiped his face, "the Holy Spirit punishes the prince, but he has no intention of being cruel."
Wantang nodded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely different in His Majesty's heart."
"The Holy Spirit was so angry that he was really held up and punished the prince severely," Shan Shen said. "If your thoughts change in a few years, you have to be careful about adding insult to injury."
Xu Jian did not speak, but quietly listened to the two adults' discussion.
The room was filled with worries, especially when Zhang Fucheng came in and said that the dancer who had a high fever was still in bad condition. Shan Shen was so worried that he pulled out several hairs.
Halfway through the third watch, Xu Jian returned to the Fu Guogong Mansion.
Not in a hurry to rest, he asked Shen Chen to prepare a medicinal soup.
His injuries were not as severe as Lin Yunyan remembered, so the decoction was naturally adjusted. Soaking in it was so hot that it could dispel cold, soothe pain and relieve fatigue.
On the right leg, the injury has healed, but the scars can still be seen.
Xu Jian bent his legs and looked at it carefully for a while.
He would go back and find some plaster to lighten the scars. He was used to it and it didn't matter. With the temper of the little princess, when he really saw this scar, he would have to be more serious.
He could coax her, but he didn't want to bother her with his leg injury.
After dawn, Xu Jian met Wantang in the court room.
Commander Wan is in low spirits, but there is a bloodstain on his chin. It looks like he was grooming himself before coming and shaving crookedly.
A small glimpse into the big picture shows that you are upset and angry.
Master Shan came later and said to the two of them: "I didn't sleep for the rest of the night. When I closed my eyes and opened my eyes, that person was dead or alive."
Wantang cursed a few words, quite helpless.
When we arrived at Jinluan Hall, the situation was exactly as expected.
Those who scolded the prince, those who asked about the case, and those who rambled on, it was all a big show.
Xu Jian did not stand up, but only stood in the queue, observing the situation of this position, and more of his thoughts fell on Li Du.
Prince Jin stood at the front with a serious expression.
On the dragon chair, the Holy Master was holding the armrest with one hand and looking at the people below expressionlessly.
He didn't interrupt anyone's impassioned speech, and he listened no matter how eloquent they were.
He has to carefully discern the intentions behind these words.
To be fair, it is not a good feeling to hear others scold his son, the son he values the most.
He knows that Shaoer should be scolded.
He acted in a chaotic manner and went to Yongji Palace to meet Li Jun. He was told a whole plan but not even a single clue was found. No matter what, he should be scolded.
But some curse words are obviously just looking for trouble.
Almost all of them are digging up old accounts, settling accounts about some naughty children when Shaoer was a child.
Some of them were disobedient and climbed a tree, causing several palace ladies to fall; some were so harsh on the servants that they scolded two palace maids to tears...
This kind of old dispute is extremely boring when it comes to ordinary couples quarreling and does not solve the problem. However, these old officials who have been immersed in the court for many years are now enjoying it and talking about it.
The Holy Emperor's eyes passed over their faces one by one.
Shaoer made a lot of mistakes, that is, they were not publicized.
If you knew the cause of Xu Jian's leg injury and the banquet to thank you for your kindness, your scolding now would be justified, very similar to that.
But they don’t know that they can only read those things that are indifferent, so that their selfishness is so heavy that they smoke.
The Holy One is not afraid of those selfish motives.
He rose to great position through struggle, and he also knew that the struggle would continue.
In the past few years, Shao'er was younger and his other sons were also younger, so the fight was less obvious.
Now, Shao'er fell hard and everything came out.
"Then in your opinion," the Holy One suddenly said, "what should I do?"
There was no anger and the tone was calm. It seemed to be just a normal inquiry, but walking around the Jinluan Palace made people shiver inexplicably.
Everyone at the bottom suddenly stopped being angry.
No one wants to be the first person, look left and right, and finally come to a conclusion - find out the case first.
Shan Shen's breath caught in his throat.
I know that this is the situation, but I can’t help but panic, I can’t help but panic.
Ask him to say that His Royal Highness is undoubtedly not a good person, but he cannot carry tribute wine; Liu Xun is not a good person, but he cannot say that he is kidnapping people; the one who counts these two people behind his back has evil intentions, and he is very evil.
He wanted to mention it, but he had no clue.
What else could he do?
He stood up and wiped his sweat: "I should do my best, try my best..."
Wantang saw this and thought, he would have to dig three feet into the ground later.
Eunuch Cao shouted to withdraw from the court.
The Holy One stood up, strode down, and walked straight out of the Jinluan Hall, leaving all the officials staring with big eyes.
Xu Jian looked at Li Du.
Prince Jin put his hands behind his back, and Prince Xian joined him. The two of them talked and left.
Shan Shen was talking to Wantang, followed Xu Jian's gaze, and then asked him in a low voice: "Master Guo wants to ask Prince Jin?"
"I want to go to Prince Jin's Mansion," Xu Jian replied, "The prince left Shuntian Mansion and went to Prince Jin's Mansion first. Even if the prince doesn't know the inside story, he still has to go there according to the investigation procedures."
Shan Shen nodded: "I didn't take care of it yesterday. I'll go with the Duke later."
"Then please wait a moment, Master Shan," Xu Jian said softly, "I want to talk to the Holy One first."
Imperial Study Room.
When Eunuch Cao heard that Xu Jian was coming, he came out to greet him.
Xu Jian pointed to the present moment: "Eunuch Cao hasn't rested yet?"
Eunuch Cao smiled bitterly.
His Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble, His Majesty is in a bad mood, and he is not sleeping well. Who among them, who are serving closely, is not worried?
"Master Guo is here. Is there any progress in the case?" Eunuch Cao lowered his voice and glanced behind him, "The Lord is very concerned."
Xu Jian sighed: "It's not easy to check, but I have some ideas."
Eunuch Cao was quite relieved about Xu Jian. After hearing this, he only gave a few words of advice and led him in.
The Holy One has changed into his regular clothes and is sitting behind the big case.
Xu Jian respectfully said hello, and then sat down as instructed.
Eunuch Cao served the tea, then withdrew the other people, leaving a confidant to guard the outside, while he waited alone in front of the emperor.
"Tell me," in the royal study, the Holy Master's voice was not as tense as in the Jinluan Palace. He relaxed and his fatigue showed, "What are your thoughts."
"Yesterday I went to the East Palace with Mr. Shan and asked about the prince's situation." Xu Jian sat upright and said, "I heard that your highness is very regretful and upset, and his words are sincere."
The Holy One raised his eyebrows slightly.
After listening to the scoldings all morning, Xu Jian’s words were very different.
