Chapter 17



As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

How could someone be so bold?

Yuwen Lan said, "Bring him up."

Fu Hai responded and hurriedly ordered people to bring a young eunuch who was tied up in front of Yu.

The young eunuch was bruised and swollen, and he was already scared to death. He kowtowed desperately and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

And Ning Fei, Li Bin and others immediately changed their faces.

Oh no, how come even the little nobleman was found out?

Yuwen Lan only asked the young eunuch, "Who instructed you to inquire about my affairs?"

The young eunuch trembled and said, "Yes... yes..."

At the critical moment, Ning Fei suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was Li Bin who told me that you were injured a few days ago. I was also worried about your health..."

What?

Lipin's face turned pale, and she said in astonishment, "Empress Ning, you..."

"Shut up!"

Ningfei scolded, "You are so bold and outrageous that you dare to inquire about His Majesty's affairs? Don't you know what the consequences will be?"

As she spoke, she cast a warning look.

Princess Yuwen Yan also glanced at her coldly.

Lipin was startled and hesitated.

——Her aunt had just divorced Marquis Linwu, and how could her impoverished family compete with the princess?

But if she admitted it, it would be a big crime!

She was unwilling to accept it, and quietly searched in the palace, and her eyes fell on Marquis Linwu and his eldest son, Zhan Peng.

He was her former uncle, and Zhan Peng was also born to her biological aunt. Considering this relationship, he would speak for her, right?

However, Linwu Hou did not even look at her, and his expression was cold and indifferent.

She looked at her cousin Sun Zhanpeng again, but saw that the young man hesitated and turned his eyes away.

Lipin was desperate.

She had been relying on Concubine Ning for many years, and everything she had was due to Concubine Ning's connections. Now Concubine Ning wanted her to take the blame herself, and no one would help her.

So she had to kneel down and cry, "I am only worried about your majesty's health. Please forgive me this time..."

But Fu Hai said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Yesterday, a maid in Ganlu Palace poisoned Li Guiyi's face wash water in an attempt to damage her appearance. Fortunately, Li Guiyi found out in time and was not poisoned. After interrogation, the maid said that she was instructed by Concubine Li." After

the words fell, Yan Shu finally knew who was the one who harmed her this time.

Of course, Fu Hai was also a shrewd man. Seeing that Concubine Li was powerless at this time, he told this matter. Of course, she was speechless. Looking at

Concubine Li again, she really wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

After a moment, the king said in a cold voice, "Send her to the cold palace as a warning to others."

Lipin collapsed to the ground.

It's over, completely over...

Not far away, Ning Fei felt cold all over, and was terrified. She didn't even dare to look at her.

Yuwen Lan didn't let her go. He looked at her coldly and said, "You are a concubine, but you don't know right from wrong. You caused today's turmoil, which makes people laugh. From now on, you will be confined to your own palace for 30 days, facing the wall to reflect on your mistakes, and you are not allowed to go out."

"Your Majesty..."

Ning Fei wanted to argue, but she saw the eldest princess shaking her head at her.

She didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only kneel down and cry, "Your Majesty."

Yuwen Lan ordered Fu Hai, "Send someone to send them back."

Fu Hai hurriedly responded and called a few palace maids and eunuchs to "invite" the two out.

Yuwen Lan glanced at the eunuch again and said, "Punish him according to the palace rules."

- According to the palace rules, this is the end of being beaten to death.

Everyone else in the palace was trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe.

But the king looked at the eldest princess and said, "Sister, you are already this age, but you are still so reckless. It is really against your status. Go back and stay indoors for a month, think about how to behave in the world, and I hope you can make progress."

This was the first time in her life that she was punished by her own brother, and Yuwen Yan's face turned red and white. However, the prince consort beside her didn't even dare to fart, and his head was almost buried in the ground.

Yuwen Yan was full of resentment and anger, but she could only say yes and led the taciturn prince consort away from the table.

Concubine Zhou was somewhat pleased with herself, but she dared not show it. She just thought that Fu Hai had even caught Concubine Ning's spy. She would have to be more careful in the future.

However, the ministers were trembling with fear, like ants on a hot pot. Before Yuwen Lan could speak, they knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "We are guilty..."

Yuwen Lan said coldly, "Those who started the trouble just now will be fined for half a year and demoted three levels. If there are any more offenders, they will be demoted to commoners."

The ministers answered honestly and retreated tremblingly.

After this ordeal, the fight on the ice was over.

There was originally music and dancing on the ice and a dinner, but the king was no longer in the mood and announced that he would return to the palace.

Everyone had no choice

but to agree. Seeing him stand up and walk out, Concubine Zhou, Concubine An, Concubine Xu, Yan Shu and others hurriedly followed. The king walked with great speed. Concubine Zhou and Concubine An behind him looked at each other and sighed silently that they could not do anything to Li Yanshu this time!

But it was good that Concubine Ning had an arm broken. Li Yanshu could only find another chance next time.

Yuwen Lan listened silently and couldn't help but try to find out the protagonist of their conversation.

What she was muttering in her heart was, [There is still half a roast pork left to eat, what a waste.]

Yuwen Lan, "???"

At this time, she was still thinking about eating?

He couldn't help but look back at her, his eyes looked a little cold.

At that time, Yan Shu was also looking up at him, and in an instant, their eyes met unexpectedly.

She looked terrified and lowered her head, as if she was finally scared.

Yuwen Lan heard her muttering in her heart, "What are you looking at? If you hadn't been a pervert and peeked at me, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble!"

Yuwen Lan, "???"

Oh, it was still his fault?

~~

When she returned to the bedroom, it was already dark.

Yan Shu had eaten a bellyful of roast pork and lamb, but she was not hungry anymore, so she just drank a bowl of hot jujube tea.

However, she had been wearing heavy makeup on her face for a whole day, and she had also put a lot of osmanthus oil on her hair, so she was not feeling well, so she went to take a hot bath. After

all, the emperor was in a bad mood today and he probably wouldn't come.

Sure enough, when she came out of the bath, there was no sign of the emperor.

Seeing that it was getting late, she got on the bed, got into the quilt, and fell into a good sleep.

When the lights in Ganlu Palace were turned off, the lights in Qianming Palace were still brightly lit.

The people who were sent out to investigate the day before had returned and were reporting to Yuwen Lan.

"Your Majesty, after investigation, we found that Lord Chai's original wife is still serving her parents-in-law in her hometown and raising a pair of children. The Chai Mansion in the capital has three concubines, who are actually men pretending to be women."

"Men?"

Yuwen Lan frowned.

Jinyiwei replied, "It is indeed a man. In addition, he also has a separate courtyard in Huanhua Lane in the capital, where he keeps about five or six male paramours."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

It's actually true.

That Chai Weizhong... is actually a traitor!

Moreover, he actually left his first wife in his hometown to serve his parents and raise children for him, while he himself was in the capital so... ridiculous?

He said, "Keep watching, and report immediately if there is any illegal behavior."

Jinyiwei replied.

He looked at another person, "How is it?"

"Your Majesty, we have found out in Jinling that the great scholar Wei was from a poor family. He once went to the brothels to write letters and paint for people for a living. He also had an affair with a brothel girl. Later, with the help of the girl, he was able to go to Beijing to take the exam."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

This plot is really similar to the first half of "The Romantic Scholar and the Beautiful Lady"?

He asked, "What about that girl?"

"I heard that the girl waited for Lord Wei but he didn't come. Later, I heard that he was an official in the capital and married and had children. She became discouraged and found a merchant to become his concubine. Later, she disappeared."

Yuwen Lan nodded.

The second half of the story was of course unrealistic. She was indeed made up by herself.

At this point, he had understood it in his heart. At the same time, he was

even more confused.

She was right. Where did she get her magical powers?

This mystery has not been solved yet, but it has made him more and more confused. It was late at night and Yuwen Lan was not sleepy at all.

He thought of many possibilities -

one, did the girl have the ability to read minds like him? Obviously not, if so, how could she not guess what he was thinking and always make him so angry that he had nothing to say?

Besides, she had never met these people, so there was no place for her to read minds.

Two, was there another master in the palace who told her these things?

But he had ordered people to check every corner, and he had been to Ganlu Palace many times, but he didn't find any clues.

What secrets is this girl hiding?

Seeing the king pacing silently in the palace with a frown on his face, Fu Hai, who was serving on the side, sighed in his heart, "Your Majesty is angry! This damn gang deserves to be punished! Fortunately, Li Guiyi reminded him in advance, otherwise I would be the one to be beheaded today. 】

After sighing silently, Fu Hai raised his head and saw the king looking at him in shock.

"I forgot to ask you,"

Yuwen Lan said in a deep voice, "how did you find out that the little eunuch was cheating? You must tell the truth!"

Fu Hai shuddered and had to say honestly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was Li Guiyi and I who reminded me of this..."

...

~~

It was late at night and cold.

Yuwen Lan even forgot to put on his fox fur coat and walked quickly in the night wind.

When he remembered, he had already arrived at Ganlu Hall.

The lights in the hall had been turned off. He didn't ask anyone to report and pushed the door open and went in.

The person he was looking for was sleeping soundly in the tent.

He was surprised to learn that it was she who reminded Fu Hai to arrest the person. He was so confused that he almost exploded!

Could she know everything in advance?

However, when he opened the tent, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The girl was sleeping on her back, not even covered with a quilt, her thin pajamas were in a mess, and even... her belly was exposed.

The author has something to say:

A certain emperor: What a surprise?

Yan Shu: Stinky! Bull! Horsefly!
