The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

In the end, Fang Yiai still didn't say anything about Wu Mei. After all, if the prince asked, he would not have a proper reason.

The reason why a secret is a secret is that no one can reveal it.

Although Fang Yiai was a subject of the East Palace, it was Li Chengqian's condescension and condescension for the crown prince to visit when he was sick, and this behavior was even a bit excessive.

Fangfu, Fang Xuanling was deeply disturbed. Although the crown prince entered Fang Yiai's courtyard, everyone else was waiting. If they are not very good to each other, the father above may not be happy when he hears about it.

So Li Chengqian only waited for a moment, then lifted his legs and left Liang Guogong's mansion, very happy for Fang Yiai.

He also specially said a lot of thoughtful words to Aye Fang Xuanling today, and even went to the kitchen to cook a delicious meal, and sent it to Fang Xuanling's study to taste.

This made Fang Xuanling suspicious, suspecting that Fang Yiai caused another disaster.

Fang Yiai was very wronged, and she was let go after explaining for a long time.

In fact, Fang Yiai's illness has almost recovered, but after the prince left, he still procrastinated, never going to the East Palace, and staying at home.

But he has always been well-informed, and many things happened in the palace, and they are all related to him.

One is that Fang Yiai's official position has been confirmed, and she is officially a ranger general, two ranks higher than that of Li Jingye. Armors and military uniforms have been issued. It is said that the rank of the position at the East Palace will also be adjusted. Zhining also specially wrote a memorial to Emperor Li Shimin.

Second, even Xin Xin, who followed him to join the army, has officially confirmed his military position. Although he is serving in the palace for the time being, he has not been transferred to any army yet, it all depends on His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes.

Fang Yiai and Xinxin are not in a hurry. The Eastern Expedition is ready. Naturally, they will follow Li Shimin to conquer. However, the topic of the Emperor’s personal conquest cannot be "predicted". Although the emperor has this intention, the ministers will definitely not do it Li Shimin naturally did not bring up this sensitive and controversial topic early.

Tai Chi Palace, Wu Mei, who lives in a sensitive place in the front and back palaces, feels that she has lost her face since she was framed last time. Although she didn't lose any big shame, in the eyes of the emperor and everyone in the back palace, she really lost her face. In order to save face, some people who know some rumors and rumors are even more ignorant of "joking" over Wu Mei.

Wu Cairen pretended not to understand with a smile on his face, but in his heart he took notes one by one.

By chance, Wu Mei discovered something, and she knew that Princess Changle and Prince Jin seemed to be investigating something, but she didn't have a deep friendship with Princess Changle and King Jin, or Wu Mei had some secrets in her heart. In the end, he chose to talk to the prince who often came to Tai Chi Palace.

The two decided to cooperate—the people behind the scenes wanted to promote the "emotion" between her and the prince, and she would fulfill them.

Wu Mei gasped inwardly, using the network in her hand, she really did His Highness the Crown Prince a favor.

This is how Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai's Princess Jinyang happened earlier.

It turned out to be at the Leng Palace, a small palace in the Leng Palace that Wu Mei had once favored, grateful for his favor, provided Wu Mei with a piece of news...

——After the death of Princess Jinyang, an imperial physician resigned, but on the way back to his hometown, the ship accidentally capsized in the lake, and the family drowned.

This is a trivial matter, but if it hadn't been for the betrayal of Princess Jinyang's nanny, who was "poisoned" to death on the way back to Chang'an City by the King of Jin, plus the confession, ordinary people would not investigate, and naturally they would not think of this person.

Moreover, this is also an old thing many years ago, it is difficult to investigate, and not many people know about it.

Because there are not many imperial physicians who resign every year, there are more than 100 imperial physicians and medical women in the imperial hospital.

The prince used tricks to bring this matter to the emperor.

Li Shimin was furious and began to make a thorough investigation.

On the surface, Chen Muzhi from Taishi Cheng of the Taishi Bureau was investigating secretly, but the incident broke out, and the source of the news was directed by the prince, but Chen Muzhi knew about it, but for some reason, as the emperor's confidant, Chen Muzhi did not report it to the emperor. Regarding this matter, the two even had a face-to-face meeting, and even had a tacit understanding.

Chen Muzhi's ability was unquestionable. The matter was investigated and investigated. Within a few days, Chen Muzhi told the emperor about the results of the investigation.

Several people were involved in the palace, but they all either died of illness, or were released from the palace, married or disappeared away from Chang'an, so they cannot be found out for the time being.

Only one person, somewhat involved.

But it was the nanny next to Princess Gaoyang.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shimin ordered Chen Muzhi to interrogate the nanny, but he would rather kill him than let him go.

For this reason, Princess Changle and King Jin specially invited the prince to visit, and the three brothers and sisters talked about it.

Changle and Jin Wang Li Zhi looked at each other, Li Zhi thought for a while and handed the confession of the "dumb lady" to the prince.

Li Chengqian looked at it and snorted coldly.

He also didn't question why the confession was not handed in, obviously because of bad opportunities before, Li Zhi was not a reckless person, nor was he as naive as he seemed.

Li Chengqian looked at this younger brother deeply. The memory fragment in the dream showed a major event, that is, before his death, the successor to the crown prince was their little brother Chinu Jiulang, also known as King Li Zhi of Jin.

Jiulang seems not obvious, very low-key, but this quiet superior, although there are plans and operations behind Changsun Wuji, Zhu Suiliang and others, but he doesn't believe that Li Zhi has no plans of his own.

I just don't know if the pheasant slave... has become ambitious at this time.

This thought flashed in Li Chengqian's mind, but he suppressed it. He didn't want to doubt his brother too much.

After all, the pheasant slave is different from Li Tai.

Li Chengqian silently accepted the confession, which made Princess Changle happy.

She didn't expect that the prince, who was actually not close to their brothers and sisters before, would really intervene in this matter.

You must know that the relationship between the prince and Princess Jinyang is not as close as imagined. After all, there is a gap in age. Insufficient.

The prince seemed to see what Chang Le was thinking, and he didn't explain, but said: "Sizi is an orphan after all."

……

*******

Fang Yiai, who has been living in the Fangfu, has been using the excuse of illness to postpone the "sick leave" until her birthday.

Fangfu, the prepared family banquet is just a small wish, set at night, hosted by the eldest daughter-in-law Fang Yizhi's wife, Lu's supervision, Fang Yiai doesn't have to worry about anything, and during the day, his friend Du He even invites him out to play.

This has always been the case, and this year is no exception.

The date was set at the Jiaofang Division in Chang'an City. Du He called a group of cronies, including those from the Cheng family, Li Dejian, and some Fang Yiai who had rarely seen each other in the past year. The honorable disciples I met at the banquet gathered a dozen or so dudes and sat in an inner courtyard of the Jiaofang Division.

There are more than a dozen rooms inside, and there is also a large banquet hall. Because the dishes and snacks are not fresh, the back kitchen has set up a separate small kitchen at the back of the yard, and there are no shortage of master cooks and fire maids.

At noon, Fang Yiai was sitting in the middle, and Du He stood up next to him, holding a wine glass, let everyone have a drink together, wishing Fang Erlang a happy life every year...

The crown prince went down to court, and just returned to the East Palace to change into his regular clothes, when he asked Zhao Dezi if his gift was ready.

Zhao Dezi ordered someone to present two trays, "Your Highness, these are taken from your private treasury, which one do you want to give?"

On the first tray was a fish sausage sword, bright and gleaming.

Li Chengqian gave Zhao Dezi a glance, Zhao Dezi picked up a piece of hair, raised it up and down at will, the crown prince raised the dagger, lightly swayed it horizontally, blowing the hair and breaking the hair——

"It's a good dagger, just give it to me." Li Chengqian said.

After His Royal Highness finished speaking, he looked at another tray. On it was a black and smooth crocodile leather whip, which was very rare.

"Your Highness, this is a crocodile leather whip from Yuzhang. It is made from the softest and hardest part. The handle is inlaid with crocodile teeth..." Zhao Dezi said in a low voice.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows how to whip, but he does not often have the opportunity to use it, but the people below will figure out what he wants, and often offer some items. The Emperor thinks that the Crown Prince will like it, and often rewards it directly.

This whip is very rare, but the fish intestine sword is even more rare, it is a rare treasure, and it is the best for His Highness the Crown Prince to use for self-defense.

However, after thinking about it, Li Chengqian chose the Fish Intestine Sword as a gift. The meaning of the whip is not appropriate after all.

It is very good for a gentleman to give swords, jade, or even gold utensils, whips or other things, and it will not be too late to reward them when there is a chance in the future.

Zhao Dezi naturally knew where Fang Yiai was celebrating her birthday, and Du He had already mentioned it casually, so there was no need to express it with clichés.

After the prince and his party came late, they arrived at the Jiaofang Division, and entered the courtyard that Du He had reserved for Fang Yiai. Standing in the courtyard, they could hear the noise of singing and dancing inside the house.

Today, Xinxin asked Zhao Dezi for leave, and came here to celebrate Master's birthday, and even played a piece of music in person.

Outside the hall, the prince's face became even more ugly after hearing this ditty.

This was originally a rural folk music in the south to express love to a lover, but most of the people present couldn't understand it at all, including Fang Yi'ai, who only thought the music was nice, and could do anything that pleased them, clever and pleasing Huanxi, respecting him as a master is very caring.

But Li Chengqian "experienced it", and even boasted about "that satisfaction" to "him"... Li Chengqian was uncomfortable in his heart, but with the sound of music in his ears, his eyes couldn't help but become more ugly.

When the prince came in, he saw Fang Yi'ai was smiling, and deliberately asked Yixin to sit aside, and the two whispered privately.

That Xinxin even poured wine for Fang Yiai repeatedly, and Fang Yiai would never refuse anyone who came——

Li Chengqian's eyes were condensed, and he let out an inaudible snort.

"Zhao Dezi, withdraw."

Zhao Dezi understood, hesitated for a moment, and sent the Yuchangjian dagger back to the East Palace.

It's just that the crown prince asked him to fetch another one temporarily at this time, to replace it as a birthday present for Erlang of the Fang family. This thing is the black crocodile leather whip that is smooth to the touch...

When the prince comes, he will take his seat naturally.

Within ten days of the food and drink, Zhao Dezi returned to his command and presented him with a whip.

The crown prince took it first, he glanced at Fang Yiai, but didn't hand it to him directly.

——The black whip is in the prince's hand at this time, black and white against it, very eye-catching.
