Things turned out exactly as Li Xian expected - Helan Minzhi was fine! Although after learning about Princess Taiping's experience, both Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu were so angry that the Three Corpses Gods jumped into rage, and often scolded Helan Minzhi for his shameless behavior.
But in the end, it was just lifted up high and put down gently. He Lan Minzhi was never punished in the slightest, and he even never mentioned it again afterwards, as if the matter had never happened.
At the same time, as the King of Yin Li Xulun resigned from his "illness" to preside over the thorough investigation of the Shiwei Alley case, the case progressed rapidly under the leadership of the eunuch Gao Hesheng. However, in just three days, the huge case was solved.
It is said that this case originated from a dispute over gambling funds. It was probably because Wang Yi, the left-wing Linjun Qianniu, owed the four eunuchs hundreds of dollars in gambling money and refused to pay it back.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi tried his best to resist, and all four of them died. Wang Yi also died of his injuries, and both parties perished together. When the emperor heard about this, he was furious and issued an edict to ban gambling, and the matter ended.
It doesn't matter to Li Xian whether he can't help but gamble. Li Xian doesn't like gambling in the first place, not to mention that Li Xian already knew what the so-called edict prohibiting gambling was about, so he didn't take it to heart.
That is to say, he came up with a chapter at the right time, sang hymns and forget about it. He happily sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Qiong, asking him to meet at Baima Temple, and planned to have a good performance of "
"The Romance of the West Chamber".
Although it is not a new year or a holiday, there are still as many pilgrims at White Horse Temple as ever. Even Li Xian is already wearing casual clothes, but he still cannot hide his masculine appearance. He suddenly becomes the focus of everyone's attention, and even
A girl he had never met came forward to strike up a conversation, which made Li Xian both complacent and a little impatient. He had no place to hide, so he could only smile bitterly and deal with the harassment that would pop up from time to time, but he was totally unaware of it.
I didn't notice that Zhao Qiong's master and servant had arrived outside the mountain gate not far away.
"Miss, look, His Highness is there, hurry up."
Some people are like beacons no matter where they are. Li Xian is obviously such a person. Even though there are so many pilgrims at White Horse Temple, the sharp-eyed Zijuan sees him standing there at the first sight.
Outside the Main Hall, Li Xian was looking around, and he immediately shouted excitedly, dragging the shy Zhao Qiong regardless and rushing forward.
"Alas..."
The mountain gate was already a crowded place, so how could it withstand Zijuan's sudden rush? She was so excited that she bumped into the person in front of her. Others were fine, but Zijuan herself was hit hard.
He sat down on the ground, even Zhao Qiong staggered from exhaustion and almost fell down.
"You two girls are fine, I've offended you."
The person who was bumped into by Zicuckoo was a man wearing a bamboo hat. He was tall and straight, with a fluttering white shirt. He looked like a handsome young man. However, the gray gauze hanging down from the bamboo hat obscured the sight of others, making it difficult to see his true face in Lushan.
.
"Zicuckoo, it's okay."
Zhao Qiong reluctantly stabilized her figure, ignoring the surrounding situation, stretched out her hand to support Zicuckoo, and asked with concern.
"It's okay, miss. It's okay, slave. Ouch."
Zijuan didn't take precautions and fell really hard. Although she said she was fine, it actually hurt a lot. Her face turned pale and she couldn't help but scream.
"Hey, you impudent girl." Seeing Zicuckoo calling out there, Zhao Qiong scolded her angrily and funny, then raised her head, congratulated the guest in the bamboo hat, and said apologetically
He opened his mouth and said: "The little girl is rash, but Mr. Haihan is not."
"It doesn't matter, it'll be fine as long as the girl is fine."
When Zhao Qiong raised his head, the man in the hat could clearly see Zhao Qiong's beautiful face. His body was obviously shaken. After being stunned for a moment, he bowed his hand in return and replied warmly.
"Thank you sir for your tolerance."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of pursuing the matter, Zhao Qiong did not want to cause any further trouble, so he was blessed again and pulled Zicuckoo, who was about to stand up, to leave.
"Girl, wait a minute."
Seeing that Master Zhao Qiong was about to leave, the man in the bamboo hat seemed a little anxious. After calling out, he reached out and took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a face as handsome as a monster.
"Is there anything else, sir?"
Zhao Qiong obviously didn't expect that the man in the hat was such a handsome young man, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. However, he quickly came to his senses, frowned slightly, and asked in a cold tone.
"Xiao Sheng Ming Chongyan is so polite. I wonder if the girl can tell me her name?"
This almost devilishly handsome young man is none other than Ming Chongyan. Since the first year of Linde, Ming Chongyan has been wandering around the world and traveling for several years. He has become famous. Later, he became an official in the second year of Qianfeng and settled in Yixian County.
The county lieutenant was sent to Luoyang to take up the post of admonishing doctor (the fifth rank) due to the urgent request of Empress Wu. Due to the sudden incident in Shiwei Lane, each of them had their own yamen and was unintentional to work, so Ming Chongyan's entry procedures were convenient.
It was delayed for several days without getting it done. I had nothing to do, so I took the opportunity to go to the White Horse Temple to look for friends. I didn't expect to meet a stunning woman like Zhao Qiong. My heart was moved for a while, and I couldn't care less about missing anything
Yi, he asked Zhao Qiong’s name on the spot.
"It turns out that she is Mr. Ming. The little girl's name is not worthy of respect, so I won't mention it."
Everyone loves beauty, and Zhao Qiong can't help but have a good impression of Ming Chongyan's handsomeness. However, this kind of feminine beauty is not very attractive to Zhao Qiong, not to mention that Zhao Qiong has already been attracted by Li Xian.
Filled with a tall and masculine image, it was impossible to be moved by it. At this time, seeing Ming Chongyan asking so recklessly, the trace of goodwill that still existed in Zhao Qiong's heart disappeared without a trace.
Then he frowned in displeasure, replied in an extremely cold tone, took Zicuckoo and left.
"girl……"
Ming Chongyan has always been proud of his appearance. He has traveled all over the world over the years and has seen a lot of the world. Wherever he goes, there are not a thousand but eight hundred women who admire his beauty. He is simply overwhelmed. Only then
He would wear a veil when traveling, fearing that he would be disturbed, but the word "love" is really a difficult problem through the ages. Ming Chongyan, who has never wavered in his heart because of women, has been obsessed with Zhao Qiong ever since he first saw him.
There were waves in his heart. When he saw that Zhao Qiong was not moved by his handsome face, his competitiveness naturally aroused. He was not willing to let Zhao Qiong leave just like that. He opened his mouth and tried to persuade her to stay again.
"Qiong'er, what happened?"
Before Ming Chongyan could finish his words, the crowd of onlookers surged, and Li Xian's tall body had forced his way into the circle. He took one step in front of Zhao Qiong's master and servant, and asked with great concern.
road.
"It's just a small matter. Zicuckoo accidentally bumped into someone. It's all over."
As soon as he saw Li Xian's concerned look on his face, Zhao Qiong immediately laughed happily. This smile was as gorgeous as a hundred flowers in bloom. It immediately made the onlookers' eyes widen and their mouths drooled all over the floor.
, But, Zhao Qiong obviously had no intention of paying attention to the "bad consequences" he had caused. He just looked at Li Xian with tender eyes and explained in a soft voice.
"Oh, that's it, eh? Ming Chongyan?" Li Xian had previously just relied on his "high altitude advantage" to discover the master and servant Zhao Qiong who was surrounded by the crowd. In a hurry, he broke into the crowd without paying attention.
Who was the person in the dispute with Zhao Qiong's master and servant? When Zhao Qiong said this, he felt calm in his heart. He turned his head and looked at the other party in the dispute. This time he saw that the conflicting party was actually Ming Chongyan.
I couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's Ming, you are..., eh, you..."
Ming Chongyan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Xian calling out his name. Then he looked at Li Xian's strange face and seemed to have a vague impression of it. He just couldn't think much about it for a while. After frowning,
Suddenly he woke up and knew Li Xian's origins, and was shocked.
"Brother Ming, it's been a long time. Haha, it's been a lot of inconvenience today. I'll hold a banquet someday to apologize for Brother Ming. I'll take my leave."
Li Xian has always hated Ming Chongyan. Even though the two sides have not actually had anything to do with each other in this life, when he thinks of Ming Chongyan's insidious face in his previous life, Li Xian feels as sick as a fly. He is really too lazy to follow him.
What a lot of nonsense. Besides, Li Xian was here to meet his lover this time. He didn't have time to grind his teeth with Ming Chongyan, so he had a haha, dropped a few words of courtesy, took Zhao Qiong and forced his way through the crowd.
Gone away in a hurry.
"Hey, miss, wait for me."
Seeing her young lady being taken away by Li Xian, the little girl Zicuckoo became anxious. She exclaimed without hesitation, took small steps in a hurry, and hurriedly ran away.
"It's him, it could be him?"
As soon as Li Xian left, Ming Chongyan was left on the spot. Seeing that there was no more excitement, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but Ming Chongyan stood there blankly, muttering.
He muttered to himself, looking at the direction Li Xian left, with a sparkle flashing in his eyes from time to time...
"Your Highness, do you know that person?"
Zhao Qiong was held by Li Xian's hand, and her heart beat as fast as a deer. She was in a trance, and became very shy. She was dragged by Li Xian to a remote hospital with few tourists before she came back to her senses and looked at her curiously.
After looking at Li Xian's face, he suddenly asked.
Do you know? This is too frivolous. Li Xian has a lot of "old grudges" against Ming Chongyan. If possible, Li Xian would like to take advantage of this person before he has risen to prominence in the court and kill him with one sword.
It was chopped alive. In fact, this idea was running through Li Xian's head at this time. Of course, this matter was not something that outsiders could comment on. Facing Zhao Qiong's questioning, Li Xian could only laugh.
He said: "I'm just a small official in the court. Gu and Gu have just met each other once. Let's not talk about it. Qiong'er, come and take a walk with Gu."
"Um."
Zhao Qiong didn't pay attention to Ming Chongyan in the first place, so he wouldn't ask endless questions. When he heard that Li Xian didn't want to talk about Ming Chongyan, he didn't mention it, so he responded obediently, but the words
As soon as he fell, he felt a surge of shyness, and his face instantly turned red again, making Li Xian's eyes tremble.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Just when Li and Zhao were looking at each other speechless, Luo Tong, dressed in Tsing Yi, suddenly appeared in the yard and called out twice in a very embarrassing way, which immediately made Li Xian frown in displeasure...
