Chapter 18 Life is boring
"I would like to inform my father, I think the evidence for this matter is not enough, so why not send someone to investigate in detail," he said.
"After all, I really don't want this matter to make the brothers suspicious of each other."
The emperor stared at him for a while, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes." He answered sincerely.
"Well..." The emperor rarely showed approval to him, "you are the elder brother who knows the basics."
"In that case, who do you think is appropriate to send to investigate?"
Of course the emperor had his reasons for asking this question.
Originally, this kind of matter was within the scope of the Dali Temple's responsibilities, but the Minister of Dali Temple was Prince Jing's uncle. Now it was clear that the emperor wanted to get rid of both parties and let a clean person investigate.
It seems that assassinating a minister is an offense against the emperor.
Li Xuan smiled secretly.
In this way, it was very much in line with his wishes.
"To inform my father, the new Jinshi was the editor of the Hanlin Academy at that time, why not let him try it out."
The emperor thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "That's very good."
The death of the Minister of Punishment is like a stone thrown into the court.
It looked like he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble, but he decided to use this as a means of attack to carve out a broad avenue for himself.
Xu Xian, a new Jinshi scholar, came from a poor family. Now he was ordered to investigate the death of the Minister of Punishment, and overnight he became a hot topic in the dispute between the two parties.
Night, East Palace.
Li Xuan pushed open the door of Lai Yi Palace and saw Zhang Xueyan lying on the bed in pajamas.
When I saw him coming in, I raised my eyes to look at him.
Li Xuan pursed his lips. This was the first time he took a serious look at his princess.
Both appearance and figure are naturally excellent.
But whether in the capital or in the palace, the most indispensable thing is beauty.
But no matter how many women I have seen, this one in front of me is really extraordinary.
He always felt that there was an evil aura about her that was hard to see through.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xueyan asked as he picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
She has a lazy posture and is thinly dressed, with large areas of skin exposed on her arms and shoulders.
"It's still winter. Isn't it cold if you wear so little?"
Li Xuan walked in and sat on a chair nearby.
Zhang Xueyan leaned forward and spat the grape skins into the cup on the side. The scene was really like a top-notch beauty picture, and it made Li Xuan who was opposite him stunned for a moment.
"It's not cold," she said.
"I'm here, you don't seem surprised..."
"Why should you be surprised? This is your East Palace." After saying that, she ate another grape.
Looking at the grape skins in the cup, Li Xuan smiled and said, "You like eating grapes very much?"
"It's okay, because I'm young." Zhang Xueyan answered nonchalantly.
"What's the meaning?"
"The Southern Dynasty does not produce grapes, not to mention it is the depth of winter now. It is in line with the status of the Crown Princess and my style to eat them without restraint."
Listening to her arrogant words, Li Xuan's face was filled with smiles, "Yes, you seem to have always been so flamboyant, eating flamboyantly, dressing flamboyantly..."
"Life is boring, so naturally you should live a wonderful and wanton life."
"You think life is boring?" Li Xuan was surprised by her thoughts.
"Yes, life is long, and most people in the world are pedantic and follow the rules. Isn't that boring?"
"Why do you have such thoughts?"
"I've always thought like this, and just because it's boring, I like to have some fun for myself!" She smiled slyly.
Li Xuan didn't understand what she meant.
However, he always felt that she was free and easy-going and should be a person who enjoyed life very much, but he did not expect her to find "life boring".
This is really very different from what I imagined her to be.
