The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Zong sent someone to invite Li Can to the front hall.
The person who brought the news said that An Zuxin and Han Taiyong came with a group of officials from Shenzhou to ask for an audience with their two highnesses.
An Zuxin was the prefect of Shenzhou.
Han Taiyong was the magistrate of Shenzhou.
Fortunately, Li Can listened to Zhao Zhen's instructions last night. He got up early this morning and got dressed up.
When she heard that someone was coming to invite her, she went forward without stopping too much.
The main hall of the Meng family was solemn.
Zhao Jie sat at the head of the table, and his uncle Meng Junde stood at the bottom.
Li Can walked in and when he saw the two men looking solemn, he straightened his face and saluted: "Your Highness, uncle."
"Come, sit down." Zhao Zhi's eyes softened a little and he pointed to the seat next to him.
She was the quasi-princess, so the position beside him was naturally hers.
Li Can followed the instructions and walked over, holding up the hem of her skirt and sitting down.
"Excuse me, uncle." Zhao Zong said to Meng Junde: "Let them come in."
"Yes." Meng Junde responded and said: "Your Highness, in front of them, you don't have to be so polite to me.
There is no need to call me uncle, just call me Mr. Meng for business matters."
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded: "Thank you, Lord Meng."
"Don't dare." Meng Junde saluted, turned to the door and gave instructions.
Then, he stood at the lower position again, bowing his head and saying nothing.
After a while, An Zuxin and Han Taiyong walked side by side, followed by a group of subordinate officials, and entered the main hall.
"I have met your two highnesses!"
All the people knelt down and saluted their leader.
Zhao Xing glanced around them lightly, and finally his eyes fell on the heads of An Zuxin and Han Taiyong, who were kneeling at the front.
Everyone was kneeling with their heads down, not daring to make the slightest movement.
The main hall was quiet.
After a long pause, Zhao Zong's clear voice sounded: "Forgive me."
"Thank you, Your Highnesses."
Everyone thanked him and stood up one after another.
Someone secretly wiped his sweat. His Highness the Crown Prince was really unworthy. Just by looking at his stern and restrained appearance and the formidable demeanor around him, he knew that the crown prince of the country was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." An Zuxin took a step forward, bowed his hands and saluted with a respectful gesture: "This official has neglected his duty.
I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Shenzhou but was not welcomed from afar.
Please punish me, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
He lowered his head, showing his sincerity.
Li Can looked at him.
Anzu, who has passed the 50th anniversary of the New Year, has gray hair and a goatee. Even if he deliberately looks sincere, he can't hide his cunning nature.
Especially when she thought of An Zuxin, who was so old and still a womanizer, raising many women in the government office, she felt even more nauseated.
"The lower official also neglected his duty." Han Taiyong followed closely and took a step forward, saluting: "Xiaguan should have noticed the mistakes and omissions made by the magistrate, but the lower official did not notice and failed to perform his duties.
Please also punish His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Can looked at him again.
Han Taiyong looks much younger than An Zuxin, with black beard and hair.
He and his son are somewhat similar in appearance, speech and behavior.
He looks like a scholar who has become an official. Just looking at his appearance, he also seems to be somewhat polite.
Looking at him like this, no one can tell that he is a murderous and corrupt official.
People should not be judged by their appearance. This sentence does not deceive me.
Zhao Xing said quietly: "This time I came to Shenzhou with my father's order, and it was also my duty to understand the sentiments of the people, so I didn't make it public.
You two adults do not need to blame yourself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
An Zuxin and Han Taiyong saluted and thanked each other.
There seemed to be an extremely good understanding between the two of them, and they didn't look like mortal enemies at all.
"His Royal Highness, since you have come to Shenzhou, you will stay at the Shenzhou government office." An Zuxin said: "Last night, Xiaguan heard that the two highnesses arrived in Shenzhou.
I have ordered people to tidy up and prepare the residence overnight, and also asked the two adults to move to the government office to live there."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Zhi's face.
Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally saw Li Can next to him.
It's not that he deliberately looked at it, but Li Can's complexion was fair and fair, and he didn't apply makeup, but his little face seemed to be glowing with a faint brilliance, which was eye-catching.
He couldn't help but glance at it. Although he immediately looked away, he couldn't help but be moved by his thoughts.
This princess is really beautiful!
He was astonished.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
He looked at Zhao Zhen again, his eyes flashing slightly.
There is definitely no way to touch this beauty right now.
However, what if Zhao Ji had an accident and died in Shenzhou.
Then no one can protect the princess.
"Your Highnesses." Han Taiyong followed: "The government office has not been opened for many years, so it must be uncomfortable to live there.
The lower official tidied up the two courtyards at home and waited for the arrival of the two highnesses.
Xiaguan's house was only built the year before last. It is located near mountains and rivers, and the scenery is good. Your Highnesses can relax around it if they have nothing to do."
Anzu Xinyan nodded: "Yes, if your two highnesses are willing, you can live in Mr. Han's house.
Mr. Han's place is indeed very good, much better than the government office. If you live in a place with beautiful scenery, your mood will be much better."
Li Can looked at them singing in harmony and sneered in his heart.
At first, she thought that the two of them were competing to please Zhao Zong and were bound to be incompatible.
But she didn't expect that they would be consistent in speaking to the outside world as she had heard before.
"No need." Zhao Ji refused: "Mr. Meng's place is very quiet and it's a good place to live."
"Your Highness, Lord Meng, this place is indeed quiet." An Zuxin said immediately: "However, Your Highness is here to check on the official business of the subordinates and to understand the sentiments of the people.
Here, it is too far away from the government office. No matter what you do, it is inconvenient. I think..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise at the door.
Officials of all sizes could not help but turn around and look outside. Everyone in the main hall was looking at the door.
"Master, it's not good...
Mr. An, Mr. An, please come out, Mr. An, I have something urgent..."
Someone outside called me "Master" several times, and then changed his name to "Mr. An".
An Zuxin looked back and looked out, then turned to look at Zhao Zong, not daring to leave without permission.
Outside, the boy kept shouting.
Zhao Ye slowly said: "I am so anxious, it seems there is something urgent. Mr. An might as well go and take a look."
"Yes, thank you, His Royal Highness." An Zuxin saluted, then turned and walked out.
Officials of all sizes immediately made way for him and turned to look outside.
"What happened?" An Zuxin walked out and yelled: "What's the matter? You can't wait until I come out to talk about it?
If you hit your two highnesses, I will kill you!"
"No, something big has happened..." There was a cry in the voice of the boy outside. Even though An Zuxin went out, he did not restrain himself. The words reached the ears of everyone in the main hall: "Something happened to the young master.
When the little one came, the young master had already passed away..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Young master, isn't he An Zuxin's youngest son An Peijun?
Is this boy saying that An Peijun is dead?
Everyone looked horrified, and everyone was confused.
Li Can turned his little face and looked at Zhao Hao.
Zhao Ji nodded almost incomprehensibly.
Li Can then realized that their people had succeeded.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly. An Zuxin and Han Taiyong would break up from this moment on and would no longer be twisted into a rope.
This is the result they want.
"What did you say? There is no beginning or end!" Outside, An Zuxin asked: "Why did the young master die?
Where, what happened?
Don't howl, speak clearly!"
Li Can listened to his tone and thought to himself, An Zuxin is indeed a veteran. After hearing such news, there was no trace of panic in his tone, and he was able to calmly ask the reason for the matter.
"The young ones went out with the young master last night." The young man cried and explained: "The young master went to Mianhua Tower, saying he wanted to have fun.
The madam found some girls and followed our young master into the house...
The master knows that our young master is a generous man. He also opened a room for the younger ones and asked for several girls...
The kids were playing inside. The night passed and the young master still didn’t come out...
The children were thinking that it was time to ask the young master to go home. Yesterday, the master ordered the young master to go home today.
So, the kids went to look for the young master in that room...
But the kids knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement at all in the room. The kids panicked, pushed the door open, and looked inside...
I saw the young master lying on the ground, with blood all over the floor, and his head was about to fall off, master..."
