Li Zixun was riding a horse, galloping down the mountain road. He suddenly stretched out his hand to rein in the reins and stopped at the door of the courtyard.
The horse was restrained so hard that it lifted its front hooves, looked up to the sky and neighed.
In the other courtyard, a man in his thirties bowed to greet him. It was Yao An, the steward of the other courtyard.
Yao An trotted all the way to the front of the horse, saluted and said: "I have seen Prince Xun before, but I didn't know that the Prince was coming, so he was far away to welcome him..."
"Okay, don't do this with me!" Li Zixun got off his horse, threw the whip to Yao An, and walked straight into the other courtyard.
Yao An caught the riding whip and hurriedly walked in front of him. He didn't dare to stop him directly, so he could only block it covertly. He asked with an apologetic smile: "It's freezing cold today. There has been no popularity here in the other courtyard for a long time. How can I stop him?"
I didn’t know that the prince was coming and I didn’t take care of everything, so why not..."
"I just came from Prince Ren's Mansion. The Princess said that Zi Ting was here. Do you want to tell me that the Princess lied to me?"
When he heard that it was the princess who said it, Yao An was speechless and could only laugh and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's not that I mean to lie to you. The main reason is that my master doesn't allow me to reveal his whereabouts. You see..."
"Okay, I won't count on you!" Li Zixun was very familiar with this other courtyard, so he didn't need Yao An to lead the way. He drove straight in and soon found the Nuang Pavilion where Li Ziting was.
As soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs of the Nuan Pavilion, I could already hear the faint sound of silk and bamboo in the room above, and from time to time, there was a woman's delicate laughter.
Li Zixun couldn't help but frown, showing a look of disgust.
But this did not stop him.
He quickly climbed up the stairs and pushed open the door of Nuan Pavilion.
A warm breeze mixed with the fragrance of makeup and powder blew towards my face, and the sound of silk bamboo and laughter in the room stopped for a moment as the door opened.
Li Zixun frowned and squinted his eyes to see clearly Li Ziting, who was half leaning on the beauty's couch, and several women with half-dressed clothes around them.
He strode into the Nuan Pavilion, and several women seemed to have just realized what he was doing, screaming and adjusting their clothes.
"Everyone get out!" Looking at several women who were almost old enough to be his mother, the disgust on Li Zixun's face was almost substantial.
Several women gathered their clothes and ran out barefoot.
Li Ziting lazily reached out and grabbed one of them by the waist, snatched the wine glass from her hand, then slapped him on the butt and said, "Go to the room and wait for me!"
The woman felt two scorching eyes locked on her back, almost burning her clothes and burning her skin, and she immediately ran away without even daring to look back.
Li Ziting raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, threw the glass away, then raised his eyelids to look at Li Zixun, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, what's wrong? The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You are not at home with your sister-in-law and children. Come on.
What am I doing here?
"Is it possible that you came all the way from the city to scare my beauty?"
Li Zixun said solemnly: "You still know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I went home today, and the princess asked me to persuade you to go home for the Chinese New Year, but you ended up here looking for fun?
"If you are willing to marry a princess well, even if you have a few more concubines after marriage, the emperor's uncle and the princess will definitely not be happy!
"But you insist on having fun with these old women. I really don't know what you think..."
Li Zixun became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone sounded like an elder scolding a younger one.
The expression on Li Ziting's face was still lazy, but there was a hint of haze in his eyes.
"Cousin, if you just want to say these things when you come here today, then you can just leave without seeing me off!"
"you……"
"What are you doing? You don't need to say anything like it's for my own good. My parents can't control me. If I call you cousin, do you really think of yourself as my brother?"
These words were said a bit harshly, and Li Zixun's face immediately turned purple.
He swallowed the rest of his words hard and went straight to the purpose of his visit today: "Mrs. Tong has moved the medical clinic to Wuchang Mansion. Do you know about this?"
"I know, what's wrong!" Li Ziting said nonchalantly.
"When the medical clinic opened, Li Zian not only attended in person, but also brought almost all officials from Wuchang Prefecture.
"He has made it clear that he wants to support Lady Tong!"
"I know, so what?"
"So what?" Li Zixun said angrily, "Don't you think about it, why did Li Zian suddenly bring Lady Tong to him and support her like this? It must be because Prince Rui's condition has improved!"
"Cousin, you are too impatient." Li Ziting said with a slightly mocking tone, "If Prince Rui's condition really improves, will Li Zian let Lady Tong go out to show her face? He would like to hide her at home and concentrate on giving birth.
His father’s treatment is just about right!”
Li Zixun nodded when he heard this and said: "What you say makes sense, but this matter is of great importance and must be investigated clearly. Don't be careless.
"If Prince Rui really wakes up, even if he wakes up for a while, as long as he can speak, then what happened back then..."
"Cousin!" Li Ziting suddenly raised his voice and stopped Li Zixun. "What disease did my cousin have today? Why do you dare to say anything?"
Li Zixun was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He held on and said, "At this time, we should do something, right?"
But Li Ziting simply closed his eyes and said, "Cousin, just do whatever you want. I'm not interested in messing with you."
Li Zixun failed to get any help or information from him, so he could only leave in anger. After returning home, he was still restless, and finally called his confidant in and said: "Hou Biao, go to the accountant and pay two thousand
With two silver coins, go to Wuchang Mansion and find a way to find out the background of Lady Tong. It would be better if you can bribe someone close to her. It would be best to find out how Prince Rui is doing now.
"Be careful in your actions and don't alarm Madam Tong and Li Zian. Any news will be sent back in time!"
"Yes, Prince, I understand."
Hou Biao accepted the task and immediately prepared for departure when he returned. He left Yingtian Mansion that night and went straight to Wuchang Mansion.
Although Li Ziting made Li Zixun angry and left, he didn't really care about what he said.
After Li Zixun left, he did not continue to live and drink, and soon summoned his confidants to ask: "Is there any news from Prince Rui's Mansion recently?"
"When I return to the Duke, there is no news."
Hearing this, Li Ziting rubbed his chin and said: "There is no news, which proves that Prince Rui's body is still the same and there is no obvious improvement...
"But Li Zian has indeed been too active recently and made several big moves in succession."
Thinking of this, Li Ziting couldn't help but feel itching with hatred. He had been rebuked by Li Zian before, so he had to suffer a bitter loss. Not only was he scolded by his own father, but he was also ordered to do so by the emperor.
Wow, it’s not too miserable at all.
"Tell Jiarong to go to Wuchang Mansion and wait for my order!"
"Yes!" His confidant looked stern when he heard this.
Kaorong is not an ordinary person, he is the best killer in Prince Ren's palace.
If he is sent to Wuchang Mansion, who will be his target?
