He probably realized that if he continued chatting with the little prince in front of him, he would have the urge to study hard.
After all, losing to an eleven-year-old child in knowledge is something that no adult can accept for a while.
What's more, Prince Li claimed to be extremely smart.
He didn't want to waste his time drinking and looking at girls, immersed in those boring books.
So Prince Li decisively ended this unpleasant conversation and turned to look at Ji Yao aside.
Her Royal Highness the Princess brought a bunch of oranges from nowhere, sat under the only crooked-neck tree in the yard, and ate happily.
It can be seen that she is very happy, her feet are dangling gently under the white gauze skirt.
"Nasha...is there anything you want to learn, princess?"
"My eldest son is rich in knowledge. He is master of everything from the Four Books and Five Classics to the Eight Diagrams. You can tell me what the princess wants to learn." Li Danqing squinted his eyes and stepped forward.
The Crown Prince intends to portray himself as an approachable person, so he will put a smile on his face that he thinks is charming.
But when Ji Yao realized that someone was approaching, she raised her head and looked at Li Danqing, blinked, and then hugged the orange in her arms tightly, staring straight at Li Danqing, as if she was protecting her child.
Kitten with cubs.
The little guy is quite protective of his food!
Li Danqing raised his eyebrows and said secretly in his heart.
"Don't worry, little princess. This prince is not a bad person. I am the young master conferred by your majesty. Whether the princess wants to learn some reading, calligraphy or martial arts, there are good ways to be a master." Li Danqing said kindly, and then said to him.
took a step forward.
But what she thought was a kind attitude did not win Ji Yao's trust. Ji Yao took another step back and leaned against the crooked tree behind her. She had no way to retreat and could only stare at Li Yao with her eyes wide open.
Pictures.
He looked pitiful.
"I advise you not to go any further." Not far away, the little prince also gave up on Li Danqing. He moved a small wooden stool and sat in front of the courtyard, carefully flipping through the book in his hand. He said without raising his head.
.
"No problem."
"When I was the dean of Dafeng Academy in Yangshan, I had many stubborn disciples, but now I have trained them to be talented people, and they are all unique people."
"The best thing about being a teacher is teaching students in accordance with their aptitude." Li Danqing said confidently.
After saying this, he stepped forward again, stretched out his hand to take an orange from Ji Yao's arms, and said: "It tastes better if you eat it separately..."
Just when the last word "香" was spoken, he reached out his hand and touched the orange in Ji Yao's arms.
At that moment, a sharp light flashed in Ji Yao's big black eyes.
She looked like an angry female cat, with her fur exploding.
One of her hands stretched out and grabbed Li Danqing's hand.
"Huh?" Prince Li frowned, vaguely feeling that at that moment, Ji Yao's speed was astonishingly fast.
But before he could come to his senses...
ah!!!!
Prince Li let out an exclamation and was thrown high into the air at that moment, and then fell heavily by the palace wall a few feet away.
boom.
A muffled sound rang out.
Ji Yuzhi, who looked down at the book, sighed without looking up. He just sighed: "It's hard to persuade a damned person with good words."
At this moment, Ji Yao patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then she looked at the many oranges in her arms, smiled happily, squatted down again, and started fighting with them happily.
…
The shattered Prince Li struggled to get up from the pit on the ground.
Pooh!
He spit out the mud in his mouth and dusted off his clothes, but the effect was not very good.
Prince Li didn't care at all. He looked intently at the girl sitting under the tree with a crooked neck, and the horror in his heart could not be greater.
He is a highly accomplished warrior in the Panqiu realm.
He has cultivated a Jedi divine body with nine hundred and ninety-nine acupoints.
When the Panqiu realm is completed, the dragon phase appears externally.
The power of a punch makes even a strong person in the Xingluo Realm avoid its edge.
How could he be knocked down by a young girl like this?
Although there is a reason for Crown Prince Li to take this lightly, Crown Prince Lee, who has already been frustrated by Ji Yuzhi, obviously cannot accept the fact that he failed twice in front of a bunch of siblings.
He was about to step forward and make a thorough inquiry.
boom!
But at this moment, a muffled sound came.
Not far away, the old courtyard door of Yanhuan Palace was violently kicked open from the outside.
"The Queen is here!"
Following the eunuch's loud shout, a large group of eunuchs in black robes and blue shirts poured into the courtyard at this time, divided into two groups in front of the courtyard gate, and lined up in a row.
The eunuch Cao Rang, who had been beaten up by Li Danqing with a bruised nose and face, carefully led the way. Then, under the golden canopy that the four eunuchs could hold up together, a dignified-looking woman in a blue palace dress appeared at this moment.
Slowly walked into the courtyard.
Liu Qing'er and Granny Yu, who were still working in the fields, were obviously frightened by this formation. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "See the Queen."
Ji Yuzhi, who was reading in front of the yard, also closed his book and pulled up Ji Yao who was reluctantly standing beside him. He stood there and saluted the woman respectfully.
"I've met the Queen." Ji Yuzhi said crisply.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Ji Yao still spoke unclearly.
…
Xiang Rong looked unkind and stopped in front of Liu Qing'er and Granny Yu who were kneeling in front of them.
She covered her nose and looked at the vegetable garden with disgust, as if she saw something disgusting.
The mud under her feet also made the queen very displeased. Cao Rang, who was following him, understood his master's thoughts and glared at the eunuch beside him. The other person looked at him and reacted. At that time, several people lifted up behind him.
A luxurious golden phoenix chair came behind Xiang Rong.
Xiang Rong sat down, and a palace maid hurriedly came to her, knelt down on the ground, and carefully lifted the queen's feet and placed them on her own knees to prevent the queen's precious feet from being touched.
Stained by the muddy filth of this earth.
After doing this, Xiang Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the two people kneeling in front of her.
At that moment, anger burst out between her brows: "Liu Qing'er! You are so brave!"
Her roar made Liu Qing'er and Granny Yu, who were almost lying on the ground, visibly tremble.
Not far away, the little prince in front of the room clenched his fists and stared at Queen Wuyang. The sister next to him hid behind Ji Yuzhi in fear, looking at the queen in horror.
It looks like a frightened little elk.
Of course, even at this time, the little elk did not forget to stuff an orange into his mouth...
"Your Majesty, I have always stayed in Yanhuan Palace as expected.
I haven’t done anything extraordinary, I hope your Majesty will see clearly!” Liu Qing’er responded with a trembling voice.
"Is this my duty? Are you saying that I am wronging you?!" Xiang Rong raised her brows upon hearing this and shouted loudly.
Liu Qing'er's body lying on the ground was shaking more and more obviously. She hurriedly said: "I don't dare."
"Don't you dare!?" Xiang Rong snorted and sneered: "I think Liu Qing'er not only dares! You are also extremely bold!"
"You come from a humble background, and to be blessed by His Majesty is a blessing you earned in your previous life!"
"I sent Cao Rang to follow you just to make you cultivate your self-discipline so as not to lose His Majesty's face!"
"It's enough for you to hang out with these filthy farmers! Now you dare to engage in adultery with foreign ministers and bring shame to His Majesty!"
"In order to cover up the crime, you dared to beat the court officials and rob Wuchang Bo! You will be punished for several crimes! It is enough to make you die hundreds of times!"
Xiang Rong's words were like thunder falling, resounding in Liu Qing'er's ears. Liu Qing'er's face turned pale. At that time, she raised her head to look at Xiang Rong and said sadly: "Mother, I am wronged! I have never done this before.
What brings shame to Your Majesty is that Eunuch Cao misunderstood my concubine!"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Why do you need to commit murder? Why do you need to rob Wuchang Bo? It's obviously a guilty conscience! Come on, get it for me!" Xiang Rong said sternly.
At that time, several eunuchs poured out from both sides, ready to capture Liu Qing'er.
Not far away, Ji Yuzhi's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he wanted to step forward, but just as he took his steps, a leisurely voice suddenly sounded.
"Just leave your dog in your own yard and bark."
"It's not uncommon to run out and grin at others. Being beaten up is not uncommon. If you haven't been stewed, it's already a sign that others are kind. If I were the empress, I would definitely not have the nerve to go to other people's homes and make such nonsense."
When this voice came, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Ji Yuzhi stared with a strange expression at Prince Li, who was covered in mud but still wanted to look graceful and could walk very artificially.
Liu Qing'er and Granny Yu looked frightened, and eunuch Cao Rang had a look of fear on his face.
But the Empress of Wuyang's face was ashen.
If she could, she didn't really want to provoke Li Danqing. Of course it wasn't because she was afraid, it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
But not wanting to do it doesn't mean that she doesn't dare. Since Li Danqing came to her door, she didn't mind beating him.
"The prince's romantic nature has long been heard."
"There are so many brothels and brothels in Wuyang City. Instead of going there to look for flowers and beauties, the prince has ill intentions towards your majesty's concubines. Do you really think that no one in the world of Wuyang can do anything to you?"
Xiang Rong rebuked angrily, her brows filled with evil energy, and the queen's majesty poured out of her at that moment.
This kind of guilt is enough to make people punish him, but Li Danqing looked calm. He stretched out his hand to smooth the mud-stained hair on his forehead.
Then he looked at Xiang Rong and said with a smile: "The empress empress is a mother to the world. I think even if I say that I have committed such a serious crime, there must be evidence, right?"
"Evidence?" Xiang Rong frowned and looked at the eunuch beside her.
Cao Rang understood and cried at that time: "These are what I saw with my own eyes. After Li Danqing came to Yanhuan Palace, he flirted with the concubine, and did not take the slave's warning into consideration at all. Finally, I saw Li Danqing.
The slave took out the impermanence book and wanted to record it truthfully, so he snatched it away and then beat the slave! The slave is loyal to the empress and your majesty, please make the decision for the slave!"
Cao Rang looked extremely aggrieved. He spoke loudly, his eyes were red, and he burst into tears.
At that time, several eunuchs in black robes brought by Xiang Rong took out their own impermanent books and wrote quickly.
Liu Qing'er on the side turned pale when she heard this. Ordinary women still care about reputation, let alone her as an emperor's concubine?
The usually gentle woman looked at Cao Rang at that time, and did not care about the order of hierarchy. Without Xiang Rong's permission, she stood up and defended loudly: "Your Majesty, I am clear-eyed, and this gentleman and I are innocent.
He came to teach Yu Zhi and Yao'er in the name of His Majesty. Although I am from a humble background, I also know the etiquette, justice and shame, so how could I do such a thing!"
"Did I tell you to get up?" Xiang Rong looked at Liu Qing'er angrily and yelled.
Liu Qing'er trembled when she heard this, but she also understood that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she could only kneel down and worship again.
"Hmph!" Xiang Rong was very satisfied with Liu Qing'er's performance. At this moment, she turned her head and looked at Li Danqing with a sneer, and asked: "The evidence is solid, does the prince have anything else to refute?"
"If not, I will ask the men in black robes to hand this thing to the emperor later, and let your majesty make a decision."
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Danqing.
Ji Yuzhi looked expectant, Ji Yao's eyes widened, and even Liu Qing'er looked at Li Danqing as if asking for help.
But Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, just do what Eunuch Cao said and present it to the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Qing'er immediately collapsed to the ground, her face turned ashen. Ji Yuzhi's expression also changed, and he tightly held Ji Yao's hand beside him.
The little princess seemed to realize that the development of the situation was not good, and stopped putting the orange in her mouth for the first time.
The smile on Xiang Rong's face widened at that time. She had never liked Li Danqing.
As the prince, his own prince should be the most distinguished person in the Wuyang Dynasty besides Ji Qi. However, in the early years, Li Danqing relied on Li Mulin's relationship to bully him wantonly. Xiang Rong had been dissatisfied for a long time.
.
Li Danqing lost power today, and this incident happened to happen to her. She was about to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of these two thorns in her side.
There is nothing more pleasant than this in the world.
"Since you are like this, I will wait for your Majesty's summons." Xiang Rong said this and glanced at Cao Rang beside him.
Cao Rang suddenly understood and was about to shout loudly, but Granny Yu crawled to his side and hugged his feet, saying sadly: "My father-in-law is kind-hearted! Your Majesty has always been merciful, how could you do this?"
For doing such a thing, I ask my father-in-law and the queen to let my mother-in-law go. I am willing to forgive my sins on my behalf!"
"Get out!" Cao Rang, who was hugging his ankle, felt depressed, shouted loudly, kicked Granny Yu away, and said disgustingly: "Who are you! Do you think you can still live after the concubine has committed a crime?
!Let’s wait to die together!”
He cursed like this, and then said in a high-pitched and flattering voice: "Go to Mingzhao Hall!"
Xiang Rong stood up with great grace. Several eunuchs beside her hurriedly stepped forward to lift her phoenix chair, and four more palace maids stepped forward to lift up her skirt.
She turned around and left at that moment.
"Where are you going?" At this moment, Li Danqing's voice suddenly sounded.
Xiang Rong paused as he left, turned his head to look at Li Danqing, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Of course I should go to Mingzhao Palace to report this matter to His Majesty."
"And then present the words of Wu Changbo to the emperor?" Li Danqing asked with a smile.
"The prince is afraid?" Xiang Rong asked.
She put it away and left immediately
She really wanted to see the domineering prince kneeling down in front of her and crying miserably.
"Alas." Li Danqing sighed at this moment, walked a few steps forward, stopped only a foot away from Xiang Rong, looked at the empress with a smile and said: "I just want to remind you.
Empress."
"I heard that Your Majesty has been staying in the Concubine's Yutang Palace for three consecutive months. If the Empress doesn't want to spend the rest of her life watching from afar in Kunning Palace, she'd better think about her next trip."
Xiang Rong's brows were even more angry after being poked in the painful spot. She stared at Li Danqing and asked in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"
Li Danqing shook his head and said: "Mother, please don't misunderstand my good intentions. Can I sincerely help you?"
"Help me?" Xiang Rong laughed angrily: "You and the concubine are living side by side and humiliating my Wuyang royal family. Are you helping me?"
Li Danqing glanced meaningfully at the eunuch next to Xiang Rong, whose face was still swollen, and said: "Help the empress identify the traitors and don't be deceived by villains. When the time comes, go to Mingzhao Hall and ask your majesty to
I thought that the empress was an unwise person who only listened to and believed in others. It was only when your majesty doubted whether the empress had the virtue of a mother to the world that she regretted it."
The look of determination on Li Danqing's face made Xiang Rong, who thought she had a chance of victory, feel a little nervous.
She stared at Li Danqing and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"
When Li Danqing saw Xiang Rong's appearance, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He walked up to a man in black robe holding an impermanent book, grabbed the impermanent book from him very roughly, stared at the writing on it and said:
.
"Eunuch Cao said that after I came to Yanhuan Palace, I started flirting with the queen, and ignored his warning at all. Finally, I saw him take out the Wuchang Book to record the incident, and even robbed the Wuchang Book and beat him.
Kill him!"
After Li Danqing said this, he looked at Xiang Rong and asked, "May I ask if your Majesty wants to use this testimony to sue me and the Concubine?"
"Is there any problem?" Xiang Rong asked with a frown.
"Of course there is a problem." Li Danqing smiled, shook his head and said: "Not to mention the first time I met the Concubine, how could we still look at each other and rub our hair together."
"Not to mention that we know clearly that this is a serious crime of beheading, why do we do it so blatantly?"
"Not mentioning these, just one point is enough to make His Majesty Long Yan furious and blame the empress." Li Danqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiang Rong and said firmly.
"Which point?" Xiang Rong asked as her brows furrowed a little deeper.
Li Danqing gently threw the Wuchang Bo back into the black robe's hand, and said softly: "It said that I robbed the Wuchang Bo and beat Eunuch Cao in order to cover up the evidence. The question is, since I want to cover up the evidence, then what?
Why……"
"Don't kill him!"
When these words came out, the eyes of the little prince, who had been looking worriedly from a distance, lit up, while Xiang Rong's eyebrows sank and her body trembled slightly.
"My Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense! I am a close minister of your Majesty. With the power of your Majesty, how could he dare to kill me?" Cao Rang also sensed something was wrong at this moment and hurriedly said.
"I don't dare to kill him." Li Danqing pointed at Cao Rang, whose expression suddenly changed, and grinned: "Do you think your Majesty will believe this?"
"Such a testimony requires the Queen and I to commit suicide. Do you think it is possible?"
Xiang Rong's face looked uncertain at that moment, she nodded and fell silent.
"Empress! He..." Cao Rang was horrified when he saw this and quickly defended.
Snapped!
But before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard on the face.
But this time, it was no longer Li Shizi who slapped him, but Xiang Rong.
"You thief! How dare you deceive me!" Before Cao Rang could recover from this incident, Xiang Rong's angry curse suddenly sounded.
He dared to be arrogant and domineering in front of others because of Xiang Rong's trust. Facing his master's scolding, Cao Rang did not dare to lose his temper at all. He could only kneel down on the spot with a plop and shout for mercy.
Xiang Rong looked at this guy with a livid face, mentally cursing him for not succeeding enough but for failing.
In fact, there is much to be done about today's affairs.
It's just that Cao Rang was eager to take credit, and there were too many loopholes in what he said, and the black robes had already recorded it, so she couldn't modify it or erase it.
Ji Qi was already very suspicious. If such testimony was presented to the emperor, Ji Qi's temperament would definitely reveal the flaw. She would not know whether Li Danqing and the concubine were alive or dead, but she would definitely lose Ji Qi. There isn’t much trust to begin with.
The best choice before her at this moment is to deny the matter. When the case is brought to the court, she will still have the reputation of being able to distinguish right from wrong.
The black robes she brought were also very sensible. At that time, she wrote on the Wuchang Book: The eunuch Cao Rang framed the concubine and the prince. The empress saw clearly and angrily rebuked Cao Rang.
Seeing the black robe writing, Xiang Rong also let out a long sigh of relief. She calmed down the anger on her face, turned her head to look at Li Danqing, and said duplicitously: "Your Majesty is still smart, otherwise I would really be deceived by this thief today." .”
Li Danqing nodded with a smile and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty is smart. Even if I don't remind you, I believe you will be able to spot the fishy soon."
Hearing this, Xiang Rong took a deep look at Li Danqing, who had a gentle smile. It was really hard to associate him with that domineering and lawless playboy.
"Things have happened here, and I am tired." She took a deep breath and said.
The eunuchs and maids beside him quickly packed up, and Xiang Rong turned around to leave. Cao Rang, who was lying on the ground, quickly got up and kept his head down to keep up with Xiang Rong.
But just as he stepped forward, Li Danqing's voice sounded again: "Is your Majesty leaving now?"
Xiang Rong paused when he heard this, frowned and looked at Li Danqing, and asked, "What else does the prince have to do?"
Li Danqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Rang beside Xiang Rong, and said with a smile: "You can't get away with a slap in the face if you frame an imperial official and an imperial concubine, right?"
Cao Rang trembled when he heard this, and subconsciously leaned behind Xiang Rong. Xiang Rong's brows also furrowed deeper, and she stared at Li Danqing in a bad tone and asked, "What does the prince want?"
However, Li Danqing did not respond to Xiang Rong's words. Instead, he turned his head to look at the little prince and princess not far away, and said softly with a gentle expression: "Close your eyes."
It was probably Li Danqing's strategy to turn danger into safety that won the trust of Ji Yuzhi and Ji Yao to a great extent. Although the two of them didn't know what was going on, they still closed their eyes subconsciously at that time.
Li Danqing tapped the ground with his toes and passed over a man in black robe. The long sword at his waist suddenly fell into Li Danqing's hand.
Then a cold light flashed across Cao Rang's eyes.
thump.
With a soft sound, blood bloomed like flowers.
A head rolled to the ground.
Li Danqing threw it gently, and the bloody long sword fell back into the scabbard of the black robe. He looked up at the horrified Xiang Rong, the smile on his face still gentle.
