The atmosphere in the tea room, with the pair of earrings that Chen Qinghan placed on the table, became more and more weird, even a woman as ignorant as Chen Qinghan also noticed that between the queen and the prince, there seemed to be an invisible line, which was pulling back and pulling.

Di Renjie's brows gradually furrowed, his expression became more and more solemn, and his deep eyes inadvertently glanced at the queen and His Royal Highness the Prince.

The atmosphere was more solemn in the weirdness, Wu Mei still looked at Li Hong with a smile, and Li Hong was wide-eyed, waiting for the queen mother to solve his puzzles, who are these earrings?

The little rabbit cub kept saying that he didn't know who the pair of earrings was, but he collected them so carefully, I'm afraid he had already guessed that this was what he gave to Fang Muqing in the first place, right?

That day, with his keenness, insight and caution, not to mention that he had faced Li Xian and Fang Muqing directly, it was impossible not to notice this pair of earrings.

Li Hong looked at the look of the queen mother and guessed what the queen mother stood for! But looking at the situation now, it is obvious that the mother is here not to help herself, but more like to help her father eliminate the evidence for Li Xian.

"I don't know either." Wu Mei let out a long breath, looked at Li Hong, and suddenly said lightly.

After finishing speaking, Wu Mei took the tea that Chen Qinghan respectfully handed over, and looked at Li Hong's bland face with a relaxed expression.

"You don't know?" Li Hong asked with certainty, but his gaze turned to Di Renjie.

At this time, no matter how stupid Di Renjie was, he also understood the real intention of the queen and the prince suddenly appearing in the West Market.

She was recruited by the queen, although she let herself check the city at the beginning, how many things were lost from the royal family, but she never told herself what the queen really meant.

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly appeared, and he also had a pair of royal items bought in the West Market, obviously the purpose of both of them was here.

And where did these royal objects come from to the West Market?

Combined with what happened in Anxi in the past few days, it is not difficult to guess that these objects seem to have been exiled from Li Xian, the king of Pei.

These objects, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, are evidence of Li Xian's collusion with foreign enemies, and evidence that Li Xian sold his property to form a party for personal gain...... This is to put Li Xian to death.

And the queen appeared here, and let herself be ordered to investigate secretly, but she was not allowed to tell anyone, so ...... The queen's meaning is obvious, that is, to cover up and eliminate the evidence in the eyes of these princes for Li Xian, the king of Pei, so as to give Li Xian a chance of life.

So...... Does it mean that if King Pei escapes this catastrophe, he may even be restored by His Majesty and the Empress in the future?

Facing Li Hong's aggressive gaze, Di Renjie didn't have time to continue to think about it, so he had to say respectfully: "The objects of the royal family have always been lost in the east and west cities, and the palace people in the province are inevitably not well managed. ”

Di Renjie's mind was spinning quickly, in the face of the wrestling between the queen and the prince, what he could do was not to help each other, make the unclear things more ambiguous, and it was best for no one to offend.

can feel that Di Renjie's words made Wu Mei breathe a long sigh of relief, dignified Dali Siqing, on the day of the wedding of King Pei Li Xian, if he can't even remember these details, then he is really derelict in his duty.

But now in the face of the persecution of the queen and the prince, Di Renjie only feels that it is more cost-effective to derelict his duty than to be involved in the whirlpool of secret fighting between the queen and the prince.

With the relationship between the queen and the crown prince, once some kind of agreement is reached between them, when the time comes, he will be the only victim who can't please both parties, so pretending to be stupid at this time is the real way of being an official and a minister for Di Renjie.

"Okay, since Master Di has said so, then Erchen doesn't care, just treat it as stolen by some palace people in the palace and hand it over to Zongzheng Temple for investigation and ......."

"A little thing, and you still have to let Zongzheng Temple investigate? Are you in charge of the harem when you are the queen mother? Wu Mei's expression seemed cold, but her tone was not as sharp as her momentum.

Li Hong had to shake his head in his heart, and he also had to admire the sensitivity of the queen mother, he seemed to be relaxed and said to hand over to Zongzheng Temple, just wanted to leave the back hand, what if Zongzheng Temple had someone who didn't open his eyes, didn't look at the face of the dragon father and the dragon mother, and began to get closer to his own people?

In this way, as long as Zongzheng Temple continues to investigate, it will always be able to find out the relationship between Li Xian and this matter, so that he will have a chance to put Li Xian to death and completely end Li Xian's troubles.

But what he didn't expect was that the first female emperor of the ages also sensed her intentions, and directly vetoed her proposal, and replaced it with her, the queen in charge of the harem, who was justifiably investigated, and she had nothing to say or refute.

"Cheng, you are free." Li Hong laughed, and was about to get up and leave.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong's back when he got up, and suddenly said: "You are also a father with children, Li Ye and Li Ye, you also know that you have been holding it in the palm of your hand to take care of it, and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't have a family." ”

Li Hong's steps about to take were suddenly fixed in the air by Wu Mei's last sentence, and the next sentence flashed in his mind: If you don't have children, you don't know the kindness of your parents.

"Erchen knows, Erchen retires." Li Hong turned his back and said in a deep voice, and then left the tea room with Chen Qinghan, who was a little panicked.

Looking at Li Hong's departing back, Wu Mei's eyes were full of complicated emotions, but she quickly cleaned up her mood and said lightly: "Di Renjie and the palace will go back to the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

Banmei and Xunlan kept their heads down, and after Wu Mei got up, they continued to follow behind, and walked forward obediently.

Today, the queen summoned the two of them from the East Palace for the first time and accompanied the queen to turn around Chang'an City, but in this day's time, the queen asked all the details of His Royal Highness the Prince's presence in Chang'an in the past two years.

I have to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed in the past two years and has become a little violent.

In the past, even in the face of King Pei holding His Majesty, the Queen and himself in King Pei's mansion, he had no determination to put King Pei to death, but now in the past nearly a year, His Royal Highness has moved this thought, and it has even become more and more intense.

"You've changed." Chen Qinghan looked at Li Hong, who was walking side by side, blinked his bright eyes in the crowd of people in the night market, and suddenly said.

"Changed? What do you mean by that? Li Hong turned his head sideways, looking at Chen Qinghan with a calm expression, the dim lights of the shops on both sides of the street shone softly on his cheeks, with an indescribable moving and peaceful beauty.

"I can't put it into words, but it feels like you've changed." Chen Qinghan said as he walked: "Anyway...... In short, I feel that you are different from before, even in Jiangnan, in the face of the undercurrent of Yangzhou City, I have not felt it from you...... Makes me scared of the feeling, but ...... Now I don't know why, even if you're laughing, you feel a sense of anger. ”

After Chen Qinghan finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the road under his feet, and the bluestone pavement that exuded a trace of novelty looked like a newborn baby, undisturbed by the worries of the world, with a hint of holiness.

And those old bluestone slabs, after being trampled by people, crushed by carriages, baptized by rain and snow, and polluted by garbage, have a hint of light, and look good-looking, but ...... But there is a deep sadness.

"You hear that?" Li Hong's heart moved, and he continued to walk forward and asked.

"Hmm." Chen Qinghan nodded silently, although she is not a member of the royal family, it is only because of the relationship between the crown prince that she is inextricably linked with the East Palace, but whether it is Pei Wanying or An Xiaohe, or Yan Lingbin and Bai Chun, she is often in contact, this is not only her own opinion, but also they feel that His Royal Highness is becoming more and more ...... It's terrible.

"And what do you think?" Li Hong continued to ask.

"I don't know. No one is perfect, let alone ...... You know. Chen Qinghan smiled, but his smile was a little indescribably lonely.

"Since ancient times, ruthlessness has been royal, for the throne, open and secret fighting, you fight for me, fratricide, father and son cannibalism are common things, in the eyes of the common people, it is obviously incomprehensible, but when faced with power, it often makes a person lose his mind, and it will make people close to madness, right?" Li Hong stood at the door of Chen Qinghan's house, did not step in, but stood at the door and said.

"Qinghan believes in you." Chen Qinghan slowly closed the door, and a tear gradually slipped down.

During this time, the relationship between himself and the crown prince was not so much because his father did not return last year, but he made himself emotional and blamed His Royal Highness the prince.

It's better to say that it is because the beloved has become afraid to know him, so he feels scared between the trade-offs.

Li Hong quietly looked at the two wooden doors, and Hua Meng and Cheetah behind him walked out slowly from their hiding places: "Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace." ”

"Have I changed?" Li Hong asked Hua Meng and Cheetah strangely.

"Your Highness......."

"Go to King Pu's Mansion, go back to the East Palace, don't follow me." Li Hong turned around, stretched out his finger and pointed at the two of them, and warned with a deep face.

"Your Highness......."

"Get out."

The streets of Chang'an are becoming more and more sparse, Hua Meng and Cheetah looked at the lonely back of His Royal Highness the Prince, and wanted to catch up, but they were afraid of upsetting His Royal Highness the Prince, so they stood quietly in the middle of the street, not knowing what to do for a while.

The cold wind blows, and the dead leaves that remain on the treetops and the corners of the ground are summoned to the street by the cold wind, and with the cold wind blowing, they gradually move forward and wander aimlessly on the streets, like a lonely ghost, like a Tang prince walking on the streets of Chang'an, alone, looking at the gradually dark Chang'an City, and his heart is full of confusion.
