Happy Little Scholar

"good."

Miss Liu Er nodded, closed the book, got up and walked back to the room.

Seeing her calm and relaxed figure leaving without a hint of fireworks, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. With Ruyi's level of concern for him, a lip mark on his face, a hair on his clothes, and not coming home at night, she would care about such small things as she did, asking how she could care about what he did to another woman. Not interested in commitment?

What's more, is this woman her enemy?

The eldest princess looked at him calmly and asked, "Are you listening to me?"

Li Yi found that he had made a mistake, a big mistake.

When a woman was talking to him, she was actually thinking of another woman, and the woman he was thinking of had bigger breasts than the woman in front of him.

He quickly turned his head, lowered his head and said, "I'm listening, I'm listening."

"What did I just say?"

"------"

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "What did I promise you...? I promised you many things. Which one are you talking about? Apart from not bringing Tang to see you these days, I haven't done anything. Something is wrong..."

"You promised me not to act rashly." Li Mingzhu looked at him, frowned and said: "Do you know how dangerous this matter is and how much impact it will have? This case shocked not Kyoto, but the whole world. The courtiers were panicked. , all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are petitioning for a thorough investigation of this case - what will you do if it is really found out?"

"Do you suspect that I was responsible for this case?" Li Yi stood up and looked at her in surprise, "I'm a little embarrassed when you say that. I didn't expect that I am so powerful in your mind. In fact, I am better than you think. Be a little weaker..."

"Although those people are all guilty, the government and the court..." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said solemnly: "Have you ever thought about what you will face if the Secret Service finds out the truth? It’s all the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto... What would I do without you?”

Li Yi sighed. He originally wanted to cultivate her ability to do things alone, but now, it seems that he is getting further and further away from this goal.

Miss Liu Er came over, picked up the autumn water on the table, and said, "You continue."

After that, he turned around and walked back very simply.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Did your Majesty say anything?"

"My father asked the Secret Service to investigate the case thoroughly. All the guilty officials and dignitaries will be identified one by one..." Li Mingzhu looked at him, as if thinking of something, and asked in surprise: "Does my father know about this?"

"It is precisely because this case is too involved that we have enough power to drag down the Cui family and eradicate all the forces of the Cui family and the King of Shu..." Li Yi looked at her and asked: "You can't Do you want everyone to know that the King of Shu is not your Majesty’s biological child?”

She looked at Li Yi and asked, "So, it was your father who ordered you to do this?"

Li Yi nodded.

"when?"

"The day I entered the palace last time."

This matter must be done with the force of thunder, so that they have no time to react. It is impossible for the court to do it. Send out a large number of forbidden troops and ransack homes with great fanfare. Kyoto is afraid that it will explode. Although this method is somewhat suspected of cheating, it is simple. It's direct and rude, and the old emperor acquiesces, so the risk is minimal.

The affairs of the King of Shu cannot be made known to everyone. This is not allowed by the royal family, so there needs to be a reason to catch all these people without leaving any future troubles.

Under the leadership of Liu Meng, the atmosphere in the martial arts world changed drastically. Punishing the strong and supporting the weak, and helping the poor were actually doing things for the court in disguise. This force was very powerful, but it could not be directly used by the court. A long time ago, about this force Strength, the old emperor had already reached an agreement with him.

Li Mingzhu looked at him, with a hint of disappointment on his face: "You and your father have already discussed this, so that's it."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.

Li Yi saw the change in her expression, stood up hurriedly, chased after her quickly, and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "You are right."

"I was wrong."

"you are right."

"I was so wrong."

Li Mingzhu stopped, turned to look at him, crossed her arms, "Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

…

There is no greater good than knowing a mistake and being able to correct it. After admitting his mistake frankly, Li Yi shook his head and said: "It's my fault to hide such a big thing from you, but you also hide some things from me..."

"What's the matter?" Li Mingzhu frowned slightly. She didn't even hide when her menstrual period was. What else hadn't she told him?

He was sincere and poured out his heart and soul in exchange for concealment and suspicion of someone extremely important to him. The feeling of this is difficult to describe in words.

"What you're hiding from me is... you don't actually need to drink soup anymore." Li Yi looked at her and said, "If you weren't wrapped up..."

…

Her Royal Highness the Princess went back and never mentioned the hidden things again. Miss Liu Er walked out of the room and sat back down to read.

Li Yi glanced at it and reminded: "The book is held upside down."

So Miss Liu Er stopped reading, put the book on the table, and started to look at him.

Li Yi explained: "Just now we... talked about some court affairs."

Miss Liu Er asked: "Do court affairs also include the question "What will she do without you?"

Li Yi looked at her and said seriously: "I swear to God, the relationship between the princess and I is pure, just like the relationship between you and me..."

Miss Liu thought about it, and couldn't help but think of him getting drunk that night and breaking into the study in the middle of the night, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

...

The Qin Mansion is the Qin Mansion after all. Even if they brought people out of the Qin Mansion for investigation, the people from the Secret Service Department were polite: "My lords, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Yan's face was pale and his eyes were dull. The two people behind him had the same expression on their faces.

Qin Xiang seemed to have aged a lot overnight. When he walked up the stairs, his body swayed slightly, and the fifth master of the Qin family beside him immediately stepped forward to support him.

"There are steps, father, be careful."

The leader of the Secret Service stepped forward and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, you are just going there to be investigated. If those people framed you, we will definitely send you back intact."

Until the people from the Secret Service went away, Prime Minister Qin still looked in that direction and whispered: "What if..., it's not a frame-up?"

No one answered. The fifth master of the Qin family supported him, turned around, and whispered: "Father, it's windy outside, let's go back..."

After the three officials of the Qin family who played an important role in the court walked out of the Qin Mansion, they never came back.

Based on the confessions of the forty people, the Secret Service effortlessly found the devil's cave thirty miles away from Kyoto and the dozens of missing women. When they proved that the place where they were hiding before was the Qin family's manor, Prime Minister Qin's eldest son, the important official named Qin Yan, ended his career.

Although the other two people were not as guilty as Qin Yan, they were involved in several other cases and could not withstand the questioning of the Secret Service, and were imprisoned one after another.

In just a few days, the once glorious Qin family had only one person left in the court, Qin Xiang.

And this is not the end. As the cases are investigated one by one, more spearheads begin to point to the Cui family.

In the Cui family, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was bleak.

From the powerful officials to the ordinary people in Kyoto, everyone's eyes are on the advancement of this huge case. All the support they can get in the court has almost been destroyed. Even if there is still some left, it will not play any role.

A middle-aged man looked flustered and said, "Second brother, what should we do, say something!"

Cui Qingming's eyes were full of bloodshot, but he still forced himself to be calm, muttering, "We still have the queen and the prince. The prince will be back soon. The Cui family will not perish, the Cui family will definitely not perish..."
