"What?" Eunuch Cao looked straight at Uncle An Yi, "You might as well say it clearly."
"It's not that I want to play tricks on my father-in-law," An Yibo said, "it's just that in the dark and heavy rain, I really don't understand what's going on, so I don't dare to talk nonsense."
Eunuch Cao glanced quickly at Li Shao.
Li Shaoyan's reaction was very weak.
Eunuch Cao sighed again in his heart.
How well he knows An Yibo.
My uncle has an upright temperament. He always thinks about what he says. You can imagine how bad it is.
However, the conditions are indeed limited.
Eunuch Cao made up his mind: "My uncle is right. To understand the situation, we have to wait until dawn.
But His Majesty is still waiting for news from His Highness, and His Highness also needs to take care of himself.
As I said just now, the Zajia family will wait for His Highness and the princess to return to the palace, and I will leave Ji'an to the uncle. We must find out the situation and report back to Beijing as soon as possible."
An Yibo saw that Li Shao had no objection, and naturally he did not refute Eunuch Cao's face.
He still remembered that last year in Laba, he went to the paddock to look for His Highness. His Majesty passed away halfway there and was ill for a long time when he returned to the palace.
This man’s body and bones are not good!
The autumn rain was cool, His Majesty was caught in the heavy rain, and fell ill again...
The ride back was Lin Yunyan's carriage.
Duke Cao made arrangements for miles and miles before stepping up.
"Isn't this the Princess' usual carriage?" Eunuch Cao asked casually.
"The frame of the bicycle is usually too eye-catching," Lin Yunyan said, "I guessed that His Highness might have been hunting as an excuse, but he was also afraid that Li Du's spies would notice the clues if he looked for it in a hurry, so he changed to an ordinary one. Fortunately.
Change it, otherwise I might be targeted when I leave the city..."
Eunuch Cao said: "You still think carefully."
After saying that, he saw the princess shaking her head, with a look of annoyance on her face.
The princess seemed to want to say something, but she stopped talking when she saw His Highness beside her.
Eunuch Cao saw this and quietly changed the subject: "Princess, is there a clean thin blanket in the car, Yinzi?"
"The original car had a blanket, but not here," Lin Yunyan said, "Yinzi, yes, there is a water bag over there, Eunuch Cao, take a look."
Eunuch Cao found it and found it was half full. He handed it to Li Shao and said, "Your Highness, please moisten your throat."
Li Shao took it, but didn't open it to drink, so he held it tightly with both hands.
Only by holding him like this and having something in his hands could he feel calmer.
Niu Bo drove the car, and Tao Tong led a hundred people to escort them back to the capital. At the same time, the bodies of the real and fake Li Du and Eunuch Ye were also moved into another car and went back together.
Although the rain has subsided, the road is still muddy and the carriage is bumpy.
Li Shao couldn't help but sneeze twice.
I didn't feel cold before when I was so excited, but now I feel very cold sitting in the car.
Eunuch Cao's clever wife can't make a living without rice, so she can only comfort Li Shao to be patient, and he will be there soon...
On the contrary, Lin Yunyan was leaning against the carriage with her eyes closed to relax.
She was barely exposed to the rain and didn't feel cold at all, but was just a little tired.
The left hand is clasped on the right wrist, and the fingertips are following it. If you lift up the clothes and take a closer look, you can probably still see the red marks on it.
She has already taken off her sleeve arrows.
Before getting on the carriage, she quietly untied it and gave it to Shen Chen for safekeeping.
This thing cannot be exposed under any circumstances.
Back in Beijing, it was already broad daylight.
Lin Yunyan's carriage drove all the way to the outside of the Imperial Study Room.
After hearing the news, the Holy Spirit came out quickly and asked through the curtain: "Shao'er? Shao'er, are you okay?"
Eunuch Cao got out of the car and hurriedly said to the servants who came to listen to the instructions: "Your Highness has been caught in the rain, please prepare hot water and ginger soup quickly."
Li Shao supported his hand and came down, but he was dizzy and in very low spirits.
The Holy Sage hurriedly stopped him and said, "His face is so ugly, we must ask the imperial doctor to come over."
Li Shao raised his eyes and looked at His Majesty: "Father, Li Du is dead. Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is dead anyway."
The Holy One was stunned for a moment.
Of course he was concerned about Li Du's whereabouts, but he was even more concerned about Li Shao who was in danger.
Now that he had to say this, he felt somewhat relieved and said, "I understand. You should take a bath and rest first, and we'll talk about it later."
Li Shao was helped to the side hall by the servants.
The Holy Master was about to ask about Eunuch Cao's condition when he heard a greeting from the side.
He turned around and saw Lin Yunyan.
"Ning'an? Why are you here?" The Holy Master just finished speaking and immediately reacted, "You, you also ran to Ji'an?!"
Lin Yunyan lowered her head, looking like she was being scolded honestly.
Your Majesty:……
He is full of words.
I wanted to know the whole story, I wanted to scold Ning An for his nonsense, I wanted to scold Shao'er for not knowing what the world was like, all the emotions were mixed together, and I really couldn't think of anything to say for a while.
"That's all!" The Holy Emperor waved his hand, "You haven't slept all night, right? Go to Cining Palace to take a nap first, and then take your time to sort it out."
Lin Yunyan agreed.
While Li Shao was washing up, Eunuch Cao reported the situation one by one.
The more the Holy Master listened, the more serious his expression became: "Are you sure it's Li Du himself?"
"My little one has been examined, and there is a mole on the left side of the waist as Princess Jin said, and no other suspicious points were found."
The Holy Master nodded: "Let people check it out, and let Princess Jin go and take a look. As for Ji'an Town, let's wait for news from An Yibo."
The other side.
Lin Yunyan arrived at Cining Palace.
Li Shao "missed" yesterday, and the Queen Mother naturally heard the news.
When he found out that Lin Yunyan had also gone to Ji'an, he was angry and scared at the same time: "He is a fool, what are you going to do with him?
You have thought that it was a trap set by Li Du, how dare you sneak into it?
Yun Yan, have you eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?!"
Her tone was serious, and before she said a few words, the Empress Dowager's eyes turned red: "Hurry up and let the Ai family have a look, have you bumped into each other? The sword has no eyes, you are a woman who has never practiced martial arts, you want to scare the Ai family to death?
?It’s okay! If something happens to you, what do you want the Aijia to do?”
Lin Yunyan leaned in the Empress Dowager's arms and whispered comfortingly: "I'm safe. You see, I'm still the same as yesterday."
Next to her, Grandma Wang turned her back and wiped her eyes.
Today is September 25th, the death anniversary of the princess’s mother.
The Empress Dowager was not in a good mood when she woke up in the morning. If the princess encountered something else today, she would really not be able to bear it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Yunyan added: "I was also panicked. I was afraid that something might happen to His Highness. After I sent reinforcements to An Yibo, I couldn't feel relieved, so I went to Ji'an anyway.
I knew that Su Yi had contacted His Highness before, but I wasn't alert enough.
If Your Highness is really wrong, I will be held responsible."
The Empress Dowager complained: "If you want to tell the Ai family that Li Shao asked you to find someone for him, you should tell the Ai family and the Holy Spirit."
"It's because I didn't think carefully." Lin Yunyan whispered.
The Empress Dowager kept nagging her, and her heartache was really heartbreaking.
When Uncle Xiao brought some porridge to eat, she said: "Take some to warm your stomach, take a bath and have a good sleep. Don't think too much, the Ai family is here."
Lin Yunyan nodded.
I slept until noon.
When Lin Yunyan got up, Wan Yue had already arrived.
"Princess," Wan Yue was also scared, "this servant was frightened when I heard that your carriage met Li Du face to face!"
Lin Yunyan rolled her eyes, made a gesture, and said in a very low voice: "You should say, if I hadn't caught him by chance, he would have run away again. Shen Chen is following me, I know it well."
Wan Yue smiled.
In any case, if the princess is doing well, that's a good thing.
Wan Yue combed Lin Yunyan's hair and said softly: "The Holy Lord has just arrived and is talking to the Empress Dowager in the main hall."
Lin Yunyan asked: "Is there any news from Ji'an?"
"This servant doesn't know," Wan Yue said, "but looking at His Majesty's face, it's clouded."
After Lin Yunyan had finished packing, Wan Yue went to the main hall to report her as she wished. When he knew she was awake, Eunuch Yu immediately came to invite her.
Lin Yunyan moved forward and noticed as soon as she entered that the atmosphere between the Empress Dowager and the Holy Emperor was quite tense.
However, it seems that it is the right thing and not the right person.
Lin Yunyan bowed.
The Empress Dowager invited her to sit down next to her and asked, "How was your rest?"
Lin Yunyan forced a smile: "It's okay."
Such a bland word made the Queen Mother worried, and she asked: "You're not in trouble, are you?"
"No."
The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "You, you! Li Du's methods are ruthless. In the past, he planned that your mother was in that palace, and she wanted to save people. Although the Ai family was heartbroken, they knew that she was loyal and brave, but what about you? You
Just look for reinforcements, why are you going to Ji'an to join in the fun!"
Lin Yunyan lowered her head, extremely honest.
After all, these words were actually addressed to the Holy One.
How could the Holy One not know?
When he came to talk to the Empress Dowager about Li Shao, the Empress Dowager protected him before even mentioning Ning An's concealment of information for Li Shao.
Putting yourself in her shoes, it is not impossible for your Majesty to understand the Empress Dowager's thoughts.
Besides, now is not the time to argue whether Ning An is smart and considerate enough, so the Empress Dowager can just say two sentences.
"Ning'an," the saint looked at Lin Yunyan, "I have roughly heard what Eunuch Cao said, and I'm here to hear what you have to say."
Lin Yunyan agreed and organized her thoughts, starting with Li Shao asking her to find Su Chang, then talking about "Su Chang came to report the news during the day yesterday", then she went to the paddock anxiously, and then moved the rescue troops, feeling uneasy and wanting to go to the mountain.
In the temple, Niu Bo went astray in the dark but met Li Du who had escaped. Finally, he met the others in the temple...
True and false are mixed together, and the story is sorted out back and forth.
"I don't know the situation on the other side of His Highness," Lin Yunyan said, "I only saw him being brought back by Uncle An Yi, who said he killed Li Du..."
The Holy One stroked his beard and said: "The one he killed was a fake, the one you met is the real one. They are in Ji'an Town..."
Halfway through the words, the Holy Spirit hesitated.
"Why didn't your Majesty tell you?" said the Empress Dowager, "Even if we kept it secret, Yun Yan would know about it later, and even the people in the court would know about such a big matter."
Lin Yunyan was stunned for a moment.
In the temple, she noticed that An Yibo looked unhappy. Could it be that he was in the town...
"Li Du arranged people to pretend to be common people. Shao'er and the others chased them into the town. The 'common people' suddenly got into trouble and a conflict broke out."
Li Shao only brought thirty imperial guards with him, so he was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Afraid that Li Du would take advantage of the chaos to escape, and also afraid that Li Shao would be injured, Yu Lin naturally fought with all his strength.
Who would have thought that in the end they would become red-eyed and in chaos.
"Li Du's actions are bloody," the Holy Master said through gritted teeth, "He is stabbing me in the heart!"
Lin Yunyan understood.
No wonder, no wonder it’s September 25th.
This layout is similar to that of Baoping Town back then.
In Baoping Town, a group of fake mountain bandits massacred people.
In Ji'an Town, a group of fake people committed murder for Li Shao.
That fake Li Du was just a lure. As long as Li Shao was lured to Ji'an, the plan would be successful.
The dozen or so people brought by the fake Li Du, coupled with the fake common people, aroused Li Shao's murderous intention, and it was enough to make things chaotic.
Even if there is no agitation, no rescue, no additional troops, just Li Shao and the thirty royal guards, the fake people can massacre the town.
I think so.
In the middle of the night, there was shouting and killing outside, and ordinary people had no time to hide, so how could they go out and take to the streets?
But they couldn't hide, so the fake people killed them.
At dawn, these dead soldiers either withdrew or died. Li Shao opened his mouth and said, "Go to hell. Can you say that they didn't kill the common people?"
The Holy Emperor is willing to believe Li Shao, but what do the courtiers think? The courtiers who already have their own positions can cause a quarrel!
Besides, that’s still fake Li Du!
The fakes don't have any green spots on them and will be revealed upon inspection.
From the beginning, Li Du had made up his mind to throw out a fake that would be exposed at dawn.
Then, Li Du disappeared.
There was no Li Du in the whole incident, only Li Shao.
Li Shao created the tragic disaster in Ji'an for his own selfish desires. He pretended that Li Du was brought by Li Shao and that the town was slaughtered by Li Shao.
It's really abominable that you choose to attack on the anniversary of the death of the late Queen!
This game was tailor-made by Li Du for Li Shao.
The more Lin Yunyan thought about it, the more chilled she became.
In fact, Li Du succeeded most of the time, and Li Shao even became jealous.
Li Shao has been charged with this crime. His Majesty, let alone helping him make a comeback, would be extremely favored if he could not convict him.
Therefore, the Holy Spirit said that this was a stab in his heart.
Li Du knew that he was looking towards Li Shao and resented that Li Shao would be able to sit on the dragon throne in the future, so he had such an arrangement.
After understanding this, Lin Yunyan also thought of the differences between the Empress Dowager and the Holy Emperor.
Li Shao was designed. He acted rashly under the guise of the Holy Will without informing the Holy One. But he was not the one who massacred the town, and the casualties of the people in the chaos cannot all be blamed on him.
"Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager said earnestly, "Now that things are like this, do we need the widowers to check one by one to find out whether the bodies in that place died at the hands of the thieves or Li Shao's sword?
What makes Aijia heartbroken is that it happens every time.
When he sneaked out of Yumen, he was young and ignorant.
Chenmi Hutong is a mess. He was led astray and fell into someone else's scheme.
What Ji'an is doing now, yes, he is following Li Du's tricks. Ning'an didn't dissuade him, and neither Yu Lin nor the messenger tried to dissuade him.
What next?
How many more chances will the Lord give Li Shao?
When will he no longer be counted accurately? Can the Holy One guarantee it for him?"
The Holy One was speechless, and his brows were full of sorrow.
After a long time, he choked and said: "Mother, I understand what you mean. I just thought that when the accident happened and his mother was killed, he was only four years old..."
Tears fell from the Empress Dowager's eyes. She raised her left hand to wipe them away, and her right hand firmly held Lin Yunyan's hand.
Word by word, she said with a trembling voice: "Yun Yan was only one year old when she lost her mother!"
So small.
I don't know life or death, I only know how to cry and laugh.
