"I don't know if things will work out this time." Li Qi took a sip of tea, leaned on the homemade sofa, and said slowly.
Tang Yun peeled off an tangerine, handed it to Li Qi's mouth, and said: "Young master, there is no need to worry. Everything you can do has been done now. As for whether it can be achieved, it depends on God's will... Don't you always say that you should do your best in human affairs and obey fate?"
"That's true, but after all, this matter is still very risky. If the third prince finds out something, this lie will be exposed directly." Li Qi said.
"Don't worry, young master, even if the third prince knows about this matter, he will not expose it," Tang Yundao said.
"Why?"
"No matter what, the princess is his biological sister, and Lian Shaohua is the consort, so they can be considered a family." Tang Yundao said, "Young Master once said that you have to look at the essence of a thing... The main purpose of this matter is
What? It’s just that I want to put aside the relationship between Lanyuan’s case and the princess and give the public an explanation. So it doesn’t matter who is the scapegoat.”
Li Qi nodded: "What you said makes sense, let's wait and see."
…
Li Qi originally thought that Marquis Yuwen would come to find him, but after waiting for several days, there was no movement at all.
The Lanyuan case, which was supposed to be a public trial, has been silent. Later, the Ministry of Punishment posted an announcement saying that the mastermind behind the Lanyuan case was someone else, a businessman, who threatened the prince-in-law and the princess and used his power.
Founded Lanyuan and made a lot of money.
As a result of the case, the princess was banned from living to reflect on her mistakes, and the prince-in-law was sent to study at Sanyuan Temple in Kyoto.
In order to give justice to the people who died in Lanyuan, the mastermind behind the scenes has been beheaded and the court will also pay a compensation to the families of the deceased who were wronged.
Even though the matter was not handled very satisfactorily, it was finally suppressed.
Li Qi felt that this was probably the last resort chosen by the third prince.
After all, if the prince-in-law was the mastermind behind the scenes, the common people would be so convinced that they could just get a businessman to threaten the prince-son and the princess. This kind of thing doesn't sound credible.
…
East Palace, Prince's Study Room.
Jiang Qian smashed the book in his hand on the table and looked at Li Qi: "How could this happen?"
"Your Highness, please calm down..." Li Qi said, "This is also the third prince's idea."
"It's a shame they can do it! A businessman can actually threaten the royal family! Such lies can be deceived by a three-year-old child. Do you really think that the people in Kyoto are all fools?" Jiang Qian said angrily.
"Your Highness, from what I can see, the third prince seems to be giving His Highness a show of strength." Li Qi said.
"Oh?" Jiang Qian looked puzzled.
Li Qi continued: "Your Highness has taken over the princess's affairs and handed it over to me. If this matter is handled beautifully, who will be rewarded? And the purpose of the third prince is just to prevent the princess from being punished.
, As for how things are handled, they don’t care at all, after all, I still have to report this matter to the emperor in the end..."
"What you said makes sense. Obviously my brother doesn't want me to get an advantage and act like a good boy."
Jiang Qian sighed and asked: "You are going to Feiyan Village soon, how are you preparing?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, we are almost ready."
"Well, don't show off when you go to Feiyan Village this time. Just come back safely." Jiang Qian said.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness," Li Qi said.
Jiang Qian thought for a moment, then stared at Li Qi, as if he had something to say.
Li Qi was a little confused and asked, "Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"
Jiang Qian said: "I overheard something...I don't know if I should tell you."
"Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just ask. As long as it's something a humble minister can do, I'll do it without any hesitation." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
Jiang Qian sighed and said: "My father's physical damage this time seems to be because of... Concubine Liu..."
"Concubine Liu?" Li Qi turned his eyes and asked, "Isn't Concubine Liu dead?"
Jiang Qian said: "I'm not sure either..."
According to Jiang Qian, he went to see the emperor that day. The emperor was resting, and he stayed with him.
As a result, the sleeping emperor talked in his sleep.
The emperor's original words at that time were: "Concubine Liu... I'm sorry for you... It seems everything is retribution... Why did you lie to me?"
After listening to Jiang Qian's story, Li Qi frowned and said, "Your Highness, what exactly is going on about Concubine Liu's death?"
Jiang Qian said: "Actually, I don't know much... When something happened to Concubine Liu, all the guards present were executed... Although the queen rushed to the scene as soon as possible, according to her mother, no one actually entered Liu Concubine at all.
In the concubine’s bedroom, everyone is guarding outside...except the emperor."
"Didn't you say that Concubine Liu was killed by the queen?" Li Qi asked.
Jiang Qian said: "The reason why there are such rumors is because Concubine Liu is out of tune in the harem and has a bad relationship with everyone. I remember one year, during the annual festival, Concubine Liu contradicted the queen in front of everyone... But the queen mother said
After a few words, she was insulted by Concubine Liu..."
At this point, Jiang Qian became a little indignant: "This woman is simply a disaster! Ever since he arrived in the palace, there have been frequent troubles in the palace, and he even taught his father the emperor to make elixirs..."
Li Qi thought to himself: This Concubine Liu is really quite capable. She is actually independent in the palace. I don't know how she survived in the palace for so many years.
"My father ordered the attack on Feiyan Village this time for a pill recipe..." Jiang Qian said, "And that pill recipe..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Qian looked hesitant.
"Your Highness, what happened to that pill recipe?"
Jiang Qian took a deep breath and said: "The reason why my father is obsessed with alchemy is not to make himself immortal... but to resurrect Concubine Liu..."
"Ah?!" Li Qi was a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Qian continued: "And this time I am going to attack Feiyan Village, and the pill recipe I want to obtain is also to resurrect Concubine Liu."
Li Qi was a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but said: "Is there really any medicine in this world that can resurrect the dead?"
Jiang Qian shook his head and said: "I don't know...the reason why I tell you these things is because I hope that when you go to Feiyan Village, you can try to find out whether that village really has a way to resurrect the dead."
Isn’t this too ridiculous?
Li Qi felt a little unbelievable. If Feiyan Village really had a medicine that could resurrect the dead, what would happen?
Definitely not. People in this era are very superstitious, and the scientific level is not good enough. There must be something wrong, or the emperor has been deceived.
How is it possible that there is a medicine that can bring the dead back to life?
Isn’t this nonsense?
However, since I am going to Feiyan Village this time, I will try to find a way to ask my cheap master...
