She replied hesitantly, but felt that Li Mingji was very strange, and it wasn't that he didn't agree to him, why did he hold his hands so tightly?It seemed that he was afraid that she would run away.

He also played with her fingers deeply and shallowly, which made her feel very itchy.

Unable to bear his teasing, Shu Yao slapped Li Mingji's hand away, "Okay, okay, I promise you, when will we leave?"

Yin Fu pretended not to see anything, and took Shu Yao's words, "The car and sedan chair have been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, and the princess and Lord Hou can leave immediately."

This is also the reason why Yin Fu noticed the change in Emperor Yong's attitude - using a sedan chair second only to the emperor's specification to pick up Li Mingji into the palace, which is equivalent to treating each other with the courtesy of a prince. Li Mingji's position in Emperor Yong's heart, Not just a Marquis.

Li Mingji hummed lightly, still holding Shu Yao's hand tightly, and walked out of the princess mansion together with her.

……

Seeing Li Mingji and Shu Yao coming together, Emperor Yong's eyes paused for a moment, and he said indifferently: "You two are about to get married, and unmarried couples should avoid suspicion. When the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion is completed, Li Qing should not stay in the princess forever. The mansion is gone, let’s move to Wu’anhou’s mansion first.”

How about that?Shu Yao has already formed the habit of needing Li Mingji's company to fall asleep. Wouldn't she have to suffer from insomnia until the end of the year?She rolled her dark eyes and said, "Uncle, where did you give Li Mingji's mansion? I remember you copied Changping Hou Zhao's house before, I think it's a good place, or give Changping Hou The government gave it to Li Mingji?"

Emperor Yong: "..."

Changping Hou's Mansion is next to the Princess's Mansion, so don't think that he doesn't know what this little lady is up to.

Shu Yao acted like a baby: "Uncle, we didn't get married until the end of the year. You and the concubine see each other every day. You have the heart to separate Li Mingji and me for half a year? You can't treat him differently like this."

Emperor Yong's brows twitched, why did he see his concubine every day, who didn't know that he was concerned with the government and rarely set foot in the harem, why did this niece call him like a fool?Who is more dizzy?

It's a pity that he couldn't stand Shu Yao like this before.To say this is more because she was worried that Shu Yao agreed to marry Li Mingji because she was bewitched by him.Seeing that the relationship between the two of them is really good, I could only sigh and said: "Okay, okay, I won't break you up, just do whatever you want."

Shu Yao grinned and made a bow, "Uncle Shengming."

Emperor Yong's expression turned pale.It is understandable that Li Mingji would be attracted to a niece who is so smart.Even he himself loves this niece even though he has other children and nephews?
"I received an urgent report this morning." He turned to look at Li Mingji, "As you said, there are three cities from Luoyang to the Yangzhou Canal area where there are rebellious troops. I have sent people to burn their granaries and cut off the Their grain roads will be pacified within half a month."

Li Mingji also lowered his eyes, followed by saying "Your Majesty is wise".

Emperor Yong snorted coldly in his heart, and it was only when Shu Yao was here that he knew how to put on a show.

"I have ordered people to prepare paper and pens for Xiao Sui to write a confession. He sent a message that you must try the case, otherwise he will kill himself immediately. If you are ready, go to prison."

Xiao Sui not only brought a group of troops, but also stationed troops in many places in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and it was not easy to deal with.Fortunately, the mastermind has been arrested, most of the deputy envoys are Li Mingji who instigated the rebellion, and they have mastered the map of Xiao Sui's food stockpile, and it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is put down.

Li Mingji nodded: "Okay."

The prison was bloody and cold, he didn't force Shu Yao to accompany him, and walked in with the officials.He really didn't want to be separated from Shu Yao for a moment.In the past, his world consisted of Shu Yao and revenge, but now that the hatred is gone, only Shu Yao is left. He needs her more than ever.

Xiao Sui was imprisoned for rebellion, and the prison guards were not polite to him.Now he is still wearing yesterday's clothes, sitting on the moldy and rotten haystack, his long hair is messy like withered grass, the blood on his body has long since dried up, his hands are bound by iron chains, and one leg of his trousers is empty and hangs down feebly, as if overnight was robbed of vitality.

But Li Mingji had no sympathy for him.

He just remembered how many times he was on the verge of death when he was young; he remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Sui condescended to let him drink dumb medicine, saying that if he couldn't speak, he didn't need to keep his voice; he remembered that after Shu Yao died, Xiao Sui laughed like crazy , Said that he would never learn to love.

This should be the last time he and Xiao Sui saw each other.

However, this meeting was not about Li Mingji's old feelings for Xiao Sui, he just came to solve a doubt.

He had been suspicious in his previous life.A little curious, but whether you know the truth or not is not that important.

Xiao Sui turned his back to him, how he knew Li Mingji, did not look back, but called out his name hoarsely: "Li Cong, you are here."

"I'm not Li Cong."

Li Mingji said slowly, "Xiao Sui, you are Li Cong."

In an instant, the expression on Xiao Sui's face collapsed.The iron chain clanged, and he slowly raised his hand to touch his chin.

It was as if he could touch the real face that belonged to him through this human skin.

As if drained of strength, he collapsed on the rotting haystack, and suddenly burst out laughing.

The already rough and hoarse voice was especially piercing when he laughed, like the cold wind hitting the eaves in the cold winter.

"Li Mingji, Li Mingji..."

This is the first time for Xiao Sui, or Li Cong, to call him "Li Mingji".In the past, he always called Li Mingji "Li Cong", which was a reminder and a curse.

"Gu's bloodline really followed Gu."

It had been too long since he had used this title.In the blink of an eye, it seemed that he was back in the past. He was still the Prince Liang who had ambitions and wanted to change the political situation of the Liang Dynasty.It's just that he was born at an untimely time, and before he had time to display his political ambitions, the Liang Dynasty was destroyed.

"This imperial palace was supposed to be Gu's home," Li Cong laughed until he burst into tears, "but Gu has never lived properly."

Not long after he was born, Luoyang Jiedu sent Wei Kang to rebel against the Liang Dynasty. The dying Liang Dynasty was exhausted. In less than a year, Wei Kang captured Luoyang and made himself king. .

Li Cong spent the first half of his life in exile.The old ministers and generals first fled to Bashu, and then to Jiangnan, and finally they were put down by Taizu Yong, and Prince Li Cong of Liang was captured alive in the capital.

"Gu was imprisoned in the most dilapidated part of the East Palace. Wei Kang asked me to watch how his Yong Dynasty prospered and the people coming and going in the palace."

"Xiao Sui was an aide in the tent of the Jiedu envoy of Hedong. During the time when he was alone in the south of the Yangtze River, he taught me martial arts, taught me to read, and told me that Liang would not perish. I was imprisoned in the East Palace. I thought I would waste this life. He wrote He wrote to me, saying that he knew there was a secret passage under the palace, and planned to set fire to rescue me."
