After hearing what Lin Yunyan said, Xu Jian remembered this matter.
He stayed in the woods at that time, while Li Shao was among the first to withdraw with An Yibo and Tao Tong.
By the time Xu Jian returned to the outside of the paddock, Uncle Yu had already brought Li Shao back to the capital.
Afterwards, he heard Lin Yunyan talk about the previous situation, from when Xu Jian led people in for search and rescue to when the two met again, everything in between was everything.
These are extremely necessary communications, and they are originally planned for Li Shao, so they must have a clear understanding of the situation before they can respond accordingly.
Lin Yunyan also mentioned Li Shao's scream at that time.
However, the two of them did not pay special attention to this matter.
After all, with Li Shao's temperament, it was not strange for him to faint after being chased by a blind bear for so long. He screamed while fainting.
"If the imperial concubine hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of that." Lin Yunyan thought for a moment and tried to choose the most appropriate description, "His scream was very frightening, the kind that would scare me when I heard it.
That fear."
Xu Jian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Lin Yunyan meant.
Lin Yunyan continued: "I originally thought that maybe because he was frightened by the blind bear, he passed away. After returning to the palace, he fell ill again with a fever..."
If the two of them took advantage of a lot of darkness under the lamp, then when it came to Li Shao's screams, they were indeed preemptive and had a dark time under the lamp.
I just thought it was a bear disaster, but if I think about it more carefully, I'm afraid it might not be the case.
"Is Li Shao afraid of Blind Bear?" Lin Yunyan asked herself and Xu Jian.
Xu Jian replied: "Not quite."
He has dealt with Li Shao too much, and he has also caught Li Shao's many mistakes.
When Li Shao is really afraid of something, it shouldn't be like that. In other words, Li Shao has his own way of judging crises. Whether he is safe or not, his reaction will be completely different.
Blind Xiong poses no threat to Li Shao.
Maybe Li Shao was indeed afraid at first, but he saw Blind Xiong die with his own eyes.
An arm was cut off by Xu Jian, and he was surrounded and killed by Yu Lin. The blind man fell to the ground, motionless.
It chased Li Shao for a whole day, but it was completely dead. Li Shao even went up and kicked the corpse hard to vent its anger.
He passed out because he was exhausted from relaxing, and his fever was due to cold, fatigue, and fear, which may be just a few of them.
When he went to court again, Li Shao talked freely about what happened that day in the paddock, without any hesitation.
And if he was really scared to his core, he wouldn't even talk about it.
Speaking of which, it was also because Xu Jian had been recuperating in the mansion and did not go to court in person, and when Li Shao came to the mansion, what he said was limited, so he did not discover this early.
"So, when he screamed, it was not because of the blind bear," Xu Jian concluded, "What did he see?"
Lin Yunyan recalled: "When he woke up, he was in the shed. Eunuch Cao fed him water and asked the imperial doctor to do a brief examination.
Eunuch Cao asked him whether he wanted to go back to the palace or spend the night in the small hall. He said he wanted to go back to the palace.
From what I saw, his energy was very low and his reaction was a bit slow, but his thinking was clear and he wasn't afraid at all.
When Eunuch Yu prepared the carriage, Li Shao was very sleepy and was carried out by Yu Lin until he got on the carriage...
Yes, the biggest change came when you came out of the shed. You were faced with a strong wind, and everything in front of you was fire!"
Commander Tao was arranging men to go into the forest to move the wounded, and everyone had burning torches in their hands.
Li Shao saw this scene in a daze...
"The more chaotic it is, the harder it is to tell what night it is," Xu Jian said. "He just can't remember it. It's not that he has no experience. The imperial concubine is right. Once he is in that situation, he will not be stabbed suddenly.
Strange."
"If he can remember it," Lin Yunyan said, "we should be able to figure out what happened at Dingguo Temple."
When she said this, she couldn't help but speak faster.
Xu Jian heard it, although he also knew that Lin Yunyan might not have noticed it because she was too anxious.
After adding a cup of tea with her, Xu Jian deliberately slowed down her speech when speaking.
The more important it is, the less everyone can be anxious. When he is anxious, she is calm, but when the little princess is anxious, it is the other way around.
That's how it works.
"For him to react to the light of fire, it must be a fire. Even if it doesn't burn, it must be like that in the paddock, with several large braziers lit around it and dozens of people holding torches," Xu Jian thought.
He thought, and then said, "It was an accident that day. He happened to be confused. If he were more awake, he probably wouldn't be able to see enough to light the fire.
But find a place for him to watch the fire in the capital, hehe, I dare to let it go, but it’s a pain for Mr. Shan, and he has to hold his black gauze hat and shudder in the Jinluan Palace."
A teasing remark made Lin Yunyan laugh.
She laughed out loud, and the eagerness and anxiety in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she let out a slow breath.
"Hui Hui is in trouble for Master Shan," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "He is also unlucky."
Xu Jian curled her lips.
It's funny to say that setting fires is actually inconvenient. The capital is very big, but setting fires can easily hurt people, so it's really not necessary to do that.
Of course, it would be best to let Li Shao revisit his hometown.
Although Dingguo Temple was destroyed, it was still the place that most reminded Li Shao of the past.
However, based on Xu Jian's understanding of the Holy Sage, it was almost impossible for him to convince the Holy Sage to let Li Shao go to Dingguo Temple.
"It's a gamble," Xu Jian said. "No one is sure that Li Shao can really remember it. Some people have constant nightmares and forget it all when they wake up."
Lin Yunyan naturally understood.
What a mysterious dream.
"But look," she raised her eyes and looked at Xu Jian, "today's step is also a blank slate that has never been taken before, isn't it?
You said that the more you know, the better your luck will be. You have walked a lot of paths for me, and my luck has always been very good.
Even if it’s a gamble this time, it’s still worth a try.”
Xu Jian was slightly startled.
Lin Yunyan's eyes were bright, and her dark pupils reflected him. Under her slight smile, there was deep trust and tenderness.
He couldn't move his eyes away and looked at her for a moment. He only stretched out his hand, took Lin Yunyan's hand, and rubbed the soft back of her hand, again and again.
To be fair, Xu Jian wanted to be more cautious.
If he smashed it himself, he would smash it, and if he could come back, he would do it again, and it was not that he had not experienced it; if he didn't do it again, it would just be a complete loss, and he could be regarded as walking out of this endless world.
But he couldn't bear to smash Lin Yunyan inside.
Such a good start was really messed up. The little princess has such a temper that no one can make her cry.
However, they had already started gambling.
As Lin Yunyan said, this area is all blank, and everything from now on will be in the fog. Every step you take is actually a "gamble".
What past experiences have left them is experience.
"It's time to give it a try," Xu Jian gathered her thoughts and continued to rub her hands. There was no conflict between the two, but she was very used to it. "It's just that I can't be in a hurry, so I should try to be more thorough."
Lin Yunyan nodded: "Deposing the prince is the emperor's method. Only he is completely disappointed with Li Shao..."
The imperial concubine also said that the Holy Emperor had extremely deep feelings for Li Shao.
What Li Shao is doing now is the reason given by the Holy Emperor to the courtiers for deposing the prince, but not the reason why he gave up the prince in his mind.
They still need to continue to find the final reason and continue to arrange it.
The next day.
Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian returned to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion to pay New Year greetings.
Mrs. Duan really has a lot to say to her granddaughter.
Lin Yunjing's wedding preparations went very smoothly, and the wedding date was set. It was chosen in May, which is a good time for warmth.
He also said that the Duan clan had previously sent a letter to let Duan Zhihuai go to Beijing. He thought that the distance between the two places was long and that the clan would have to discuss it more, but he didn't expect that the reply would arrive on New Year's Eve.
Duan Zhihuai himself was very interested in studying abroad, and another brother of the same age in the clan also wanted to travel together as a companion. As soon as they made a plan, they decided to set off after the Lantern Festival.
I just have to watch as I walk and slowly head north. During this period, I will send letters to Beijing to let the government know about their situation.
As Xiao Duan spoke, he took the reply letter and showed it to Lin Yunyan.
"Well, this is what Zhihuai wrote. The handwriting is so good, and he must have a good temperament."
Lin Yunyan burst out laughing when she heard it: "Don't worry about the Yuanyang score I ordered. When the time comes, Third Sister will definitely appreciate it."
Little Duan smiled and spat: "How can any girl look at it randomly? I have to look at it first!"
"How can you look down on your natal grandnephew?" Lin Yunyan teased her.
Grandparents and grandson are enjoying themselves happily.
Lin Yunyan accompanied me and talked a lot, laughing and thinking at the same time.
The eldest sister and the third sister can all get married as they wish. When the two younger brothers also become close friends in the future, everything in the family will go smoothly. But if they want to live a good life, they must not go to the step of expropriating their titles and property.
Li Shao cannot be allowed to resurrect, and the people behind the scenes cannot be allowed to act recklessly.
After talking about home affairs, it is inevitable to talk about the court.
Xiao Duan said in a low voice: "Deposing the crown prince is a big deal, and our subordinates don't know what kind of attitude we should take.
I asked your father about it, and he said it won't bother us for the time being, but we need to be more cautious.
You see, we didn't set off many firecrackers this year. We live next to each other and had a very good relationship with Enrong Bo Mansion, so we have to worry about their feelings."
Lin Yunyan nodded.
Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.
She was looking for Li Shao's troubles and had no complaints about the Enrong family.
Growing up, the neighbors had a harmonious relationship, and the old lady and the uncle treated her affectionately.
As Xiao Duan talked, he returned to Xu Jian.
"I actually thought that it would be good to expose everything," she sighed, "I have kept it a secret for several years, and there is no accurate explanation of how the Duke was injured, and there are even some bad rumors.
I didn't get any credit for my achievements, and even caused a lot of gossip, but now my name has been cleared up.
He was injured while trying to save His Highness. This is clearly meritorious service.
From now on, no one can say that he only has a title but no merit.
If it's his, he should take it."
Lin Yunyan felt warm in her heart after hearing this.
Her family felt sorry for her family. When she knew the inside story before, why didn't she feel aggrieved for Xu Jian?
"How is his injured leg recovering?" Little Duan asked again, "I just saw him coming over to talk and he was walking quite steadily."
"We only let him walk a few steps," Lin Yunyan said. "In the house, there are chariots and soft sedans. After all, it's cold and it's always good to take more rest. Everything is getting better, but we may have to wait until the weather gets warmer.
We’ll go to court later.”
Xiao Duan nodded: "You have to listen to the doctor."
In the other room, in the study, Xu Jian and Lin Yu were talking.
"You mean, Dingguo Temple might not have been an accident at that time?" Lin Yu frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "Dingguo Temple burned so badly. In addition to the lack of manpower to put out the fire, there are other reasons.
It happened to be autumn, the weather was dry, and the oil inventory in the temple was relatively high.
This point was actually raised back then. The temple was very meticulous in purchasing and purchasing. It was originally a royal temple, and it always had a lot of materials. Just in time to pray for the late emperor, another batch was added, and lights were lit day and night. Theoretically speaking,
It makes sense."
If that doesn't make sense, the Holy Spirit was serious about Dingguo Temple, so he would not let go of this issue back then.
I can't help it, just because it makes sense.
Lin Yu added: "But if we look at it as 'not an accident', it seems that these can also be relied upon to support the doubts, but whether the doubts can be turned into evidence depends on the subsequent harvest."
Xu Jian thought for a while: "If His Highness can recall something..."
"His Highness acted out of line, but he was not really stupid and ignorant," Lin Yu analyzed. "If it really had nothing to do with him, he would tell it and there would be a direction for investigation.
But if it really has something to do with him, he won't say it easily.
Besides, he was only four years old at the time."
"I understand what my father-in-law thinks. Even if something happens to a four-year-old child,..." Xu Jian thought for a moment and then said, "It's just that we are not trying to decide right or wrong. The only person in charge of this case is still
Your Majesty."
The key lies in how the Holy One sees it.
The Holy One thought that Li Shao was wrong, which would be a good thing for Xu Jian and the others.
The Holy One believed that Li Shao was not wrong, and that Li Shao was afraid of something else, so his experience that night might help them catch the person behind the scenes.
No matter which result, it is a big step forward.
Lin Yu thought for a while and then said: "I didn't ask you before, who do you think can inherit the throne after His Highness is unable to succeed? Who can sit on that chair and make the Xu and Lin families live smoothly?"
Xu Jian held the tea cup and did not answer immediately.
"It's hard to answer," Lin Yue spoke first, "I can't find an answer, but this is something we must understand."
"You are right." Xu Jian nodded.
"As for Your Highness," Lin Yu sighed softly, "going to Dingguo Temple is not feasible. There are other places in Beijing that you can consider."
Xu Jian humbly asked for advice.
"The Holy Emperor's Qianfu." Lin Yu whispered.
"It's not too difficult to convince Your Majesty to let His Highness go back to Qian Mansion. You can do it, or I can do it." Lin Yu rubbed his fingertips, "The only problem is that burning Qian Mansion will easily burn us all.
Inside."
Xu Jian frowned and began to think deeply.
Seeing this, Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said: "I'm not in a hurry. I want to set fire to Qian Mansion. I must hit it with one hit, otherwise I have to find a way to escape. If there is a chance, I will finally
