Chapter 424 (2/2)

”What did your master tell you before he left?” Wu Mei's face is still hanging a faint smile, asked.

After hearing Wu Mei's question, Bai Chun looks at Xiao Shufei hesitantly. She doesn't know if she should speak in front of Xiao Shufei.

”Well, there is no outsider here. You are not unfamiliar with her, and you know clearly the relationship between Li Hong and her?” Wu Mei takes a look at Xiao Shufei, and Xiao Shufei is also smiling, just looking at Wu Mei. Although there is no spark in her eyes, she can still feel a natural state of hostility.Listening to Wu Mei's words, Bai Chun was much more relaxed. She said respectfully, ”when she went back to the queen, Her Highness just told the other officials of the east palace to abide by their duties. They did not need to pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. They said that the Qing Dynasty was self-cleaning.”

Wu Mei looked at Xiao Shufei again: ”what about you? I didn't tell you anything? ”

”There are some accounts between Taiyi city and the king of Liang in recent years, including some horizontal accounts between the king of Liang and other places, but so far there has been no harvest.” White pure complexion as before, it was these, but it seems that there are experts to do accounts for them, their own check to now, it is a little bit of clues did not find out.

Xiao Shufei has been quietly listening to Bai Chun and Wu Mei's answer. From the beginning to the end, she did not say a word. Until they fell into a short silence, Xiao Shufei said faintly: ”you might as well start from the water transport. If you can't find it in the north, you'd better try the south. The court has always attached great importance to the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, most of the clans moved in In the south, until the Sui Dynasty and even after the Tang Dynasty ruled the country, the clans who had fled to the South had already laid down their roots and scattered their leaves in the south. Although many scholars in the South began to run to this side because of the bestow of Chang'an and Luoyang, as well as the stability of the Tang Dynasty I'm afraid they haven't relaxed there, have they? ”

Wu Mei's eyebrows are tight, but she has to admire her in her heart. Xiao's intelligence is no less than her own.

What's more, from the water transport investigation, we have to check the Ministry of work. Who is the Secretary of the Ministry of work? Fang Xianzhong, who is Fang Xianzhong? That is the house where she intended to be princess Li Xianna.

From here, no matter what, it is definitely a good breakthrough. Even if it is not found out that Li Xian is related to the killing of Li Zhong and framed to Li Hong, at least we can find out how much money Li Xian embezzled from the Ministry of labor in recent years.

Since Li Hong was not in Chang'an these years, Li Xian himself has been rumoured to be the crown prince. Because of Li Hong's absence, there is no one to suppress him. Today's Peiwang's mansion looks unimportant, but the degree of construction and decoration is no less than that of the east palace.

Even more garden buildings, Li Xian copied many southern styles. The original explanation was that because of the limited area of the palace, he used a large number of craftsmen from the south of the Yangtze River to make the palace as luxurious, exquisite and perfect as possible.

Although all of this was done on the surface, it was agreed by his majesty, because Li Zhi praised and rewarded Li Zhi for his annotation on the book of Han. Moreover, Li Xian was much better at etiquette and demeanor than Li Hong. At that time, he was also favored by Li Zhi. Therefore, no one took this matter seriously Something's going on.

But now, because of the dirty water on Li Hong's body, whether it was Li Xian's or not, Li Hong wants to keep his Royal Highness's seat as the head of the East Palace, so he must be well prepared.

Whether Li Zhong's death was designed by Li Xian or not, whether it was intended to slander Li Hong, or whether he intended to fight for the crown prince's position, Li Xian must be dragged into the water. In this way, the situation can be created in front of the ministers, the emperor and the Empress, and the two evils will be less serious.

In this way, Li Hong will be able to fight for more time and opportunities to keep his crown prince, while at the same time suppressing other people who are competing for the crown prince's position.

But in any case, Li Xian is unavoidable because of the dirty water on Li Hong.

Although there is a slight difference between Wu Mei and Xiao Shufei, their strategies are basically the same, that is, to let the ministers and their majesty fall into a situation where both sides are difficult to choose.

”Yes, thank you very much, sister Xiao. I'll go back and arrange it. I'll try my best not to be aware of it.” Bai Chun's sincere courtesy.

”Not only that, but also remember to tell the people under Li Hong's family not to act rashly and not to lose a great deal because of small things. If you ask, you will be told by this palace. Take this. ” Wu Mei's delicate fingers, as white as jade, pinched a Phoenix Pendant and said faintly.

”Yes, I remember. I thank the queen.” Bai Chun salutes Wu Mei again.

Wu Mei and Xiao Shufei both look at Bai Chun's back and leave. Wu Mei still has a faint smile on her face, but Xiao Shufei's look becomes a little cold: ”I don't know what the queen has to tell you?”

Wu Mei straightened up and stretched lazily. Suddenly, the plump elastic curve of her upper body was completely revealed: ”that's all for now. By the way, you've been in the Imperial Palace these years. It seems that many people in Xiao's family of Lanling have been mastered by you. Let them be smart and don't stand in the wrong line at that time.”

Xiao Shufei also sighed: ”the queen is so wise and powerful. It seems that anything can't escape your eyes and ears. I will do whatever I can. But... ”

”But you'd like to know that Li Hong and Li Xian are both born in this palace. Why did they try their best to help Li Hong clear the suspicion at this moment, even to drag Li Xian into the water?” Wu Mei said the question in the heart for Xiao Shufei.
