One Child and Two Treasures: The Divine Doctor's Daughter

Chapter 53 Confrontation
The most important thing in the emperor's mind is nothing more than two.

Checks and balances.

The old emperor present here is wise and courageous. He clearly knows that his dozen or so sons have their own plans and are eyeing the position above, but for the sake of the royal face, they have to maintain this superficial peace.

The eight sage kings started early, and after the third son Li Xiyuan failed to force the palace, the old emperor suddenly realized that the eighth son had grown too fast, and was afraid that he would become the second Li Xiyuan, but the eighth son was too good, and the old emperor didn't want to go too far Suppress.

In order to check and balance, the old emperor chose the youngest son, gave him the highest honor and favor and even released military power. No matter how fast the Eighth Prince grew up, the old emperor treated Li Zongyu openly and secretly, in order to make the other party afraid of each other.

This is why even after Li Zongyu became an adult, he did not move out of the palace to open another mansion. The eight kings outside the palace are strong, but Li Zongyu sits in the palace.

Today, Li Zongyu must take Jiang Jinyue to Renming Palace, which means mutual checks and balances, so that Li Zongyu can understand that the Baxian Queen's family is huge. If he has any other thoughts, he should first think about the Baxian King and let Queen Hui I understand that Li Zongyu, the youngest twelfth son, is honored and prosperous, and he has heirs.

While suppressing the two sons, the old emperor also urged the growth of the two sons.

So in the end, the old emperor can give the throne to whoever he wants. It doesn't matter how the royal family is, what matters is to give people the appearance of peace and friendship.

And after leaving the palace, the Dingguohou's Mansion will probably be lively for a while.

Jiang Jinyue couldn't help admiring that it was just this small act of the old emperor who had calculated so many chain reactions one after another.

Calculated in this way, the old emperor may not be completely unaware that Li Zongyu is standing in line with Yuanshanhou.

Thinking about it, the royal relationship is really sad. The old emperor cultivated Li Zongyu so much on the surface, but in fact he might not really like this son.

The two returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Not everyone can get the imperial meal. The old emperor had no intention of keeping the meal, so he asked Li Zongyu to send Jiang Jinyue and the child out of the palace. palace.

The old emperor knew the news that Jiang Jinyue and Yuanshanhou Xiaohou had not yet divorced. On the one hand, he didn't want to call the Eight Kings to stop, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to help Jiang Jinyue push.

Now this is the time when the Eight Immortals are crossing the sea to show their magical powers. The old emperor is probably still waiting to see who is more capable and who is more qualified to sit in this position.

When he left, Li Zongyu was still holding Bai Ziang, and the little eunuch behind him was carrying a cage, which was a reward cheated by Bai Ziang and Bai Zili today. There were too many things, and Bai Ziang naturally forgot the hairpin on Li Zongyu's head.

Before reaching the place where the middle gate can sit in a sedan chair, an acquaintance walked up to him.

The eight virtuous kings were not wearing court clothes, and the man in the light blue long gown, Zhilan Yushu and gentleman Ruyu, greeted Li Zongyu with a smile.

"twelve."

"Mynah."

Both of them look like ordinary brothers, brothers and sisters are as respectful as hands and feet.

"Is this your two children?"

The Baxian King looked at Bai Ziang and Bai Zili, and asked Li Zongyu with a smile.

Li Zongyu nodded with a faint smile, and patted the top of Bai Ziang's head.

"Zi Ang, Zi Li, Uncle."

"I didn't prepare a meeting ceremony when I came today, that's it."

The Eighth King paused, knotted a sapphire pendant from his waist, asked the little eunuch to pass it to Bai Ziang, and said with a smile.

"How about uncle giving you a meeting gift next time?"

Seeing Qian's eyes open, Bai Ziang immediately smiled like a little fox, and raised his head to thank the Eight Sage Kings.

"Thank you uncle."

"This child really looks like you when you were a child."

Ba Wangyan smiled freely, said a few simple words, suddenly turned his face, and asked Li Zongyu.

"Did anyone find it?"

This topic didn't avoid anyone, Jiang Jinyue stood in the back left, her heart skipped a beat.

Li Zongyu lowered his voice, with a slightly guilty tone.

"Twelve is not good at doing things..."

"It doesn't matter, the capital is not big, and now the gates and checkpoints are set up everywhere. A strong man with injuries all over his body and a ten-year-old boy can hardly fly out with wings."

"In the past few days, I will let the guards pay close attention. Even if they search the capital, they will find them."

Jiang Jinyue lowered her eyes, feeling slightly guilty.

The person she was looking for was in her Dingguo Hou Mansion, and she was the one who saved it with her own hands, and she even turned into a little girl.

The Baxian King squinted his eyes, but he did not expect that the imperial army was also dispatched by Li Zongyu.

Then, there was a spring breeze on his face.

"The imperial army can't just do this one thing. The case of the Duke's family extermination last night, I wonder if it was reported to the twelfth brother?"

Li Zongyu was slightly taken aback, and looked up at the Eight Sage Kings in front of him.

"The Duke's mansion is destroyed?"

Apparently he didn't know, and was in shock, at least that's how he acted.

The Baxian King's face relaxed, and he moved closer to Li Zongyu.

"Last night at Zishi, Chen Guogong's mansion ranged from 81-year-old Chen Guogong to Chen Guogong's three-year-old great-grandson. None of them survived.

"There is such a thing? Who is the murderer?"

Li Zongyu's tone was angry, completely different from his usual calmness, he would look... like a martial artist with no intelligence.

The Eighth King frowned, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, but he spoke again quickly.

"The governor of Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to say anything about this matter. I entered the palace today to report to my father. The murderer has not been identified yet, but this matter must be related to that person."

"What the starling said is that it must be related to that person."

Li Zongyu nodded in agreement, with a look of deep approval on his face.

The two of you come and go to test each other, but on the surface they are like brothers and harmonious.

"You send the younger siblings and the child back first, let me report to the father, and wait for the father's instructions later."

"Okay, Twelve will wait for news from myna."

Li Zongyu bent down slightly, led Jiang Jinyue away from the Eight Sage Kings, and walked outside the middle gate.

The Eighth Sage King smiled faintly and walked inside.

The two clashed and separated again, just like the situation in the country at this moment, the surface is calm, but the inside has already fallen apart.

In the carriage, Li Zongyu looked calm, teasing Bai Ziang from time to time.

Bai Ziang was also very cooperative, rolling and having fun in the spacious carriage with his little butt sticking out, his father's voice was extra soft.

Jiang Jinyue took out the palace card from her arms and pushed it in front of Li Zongyu.

This palace card is only for the convenience of entering and exiting the palace gate. Now that the old emperor has seen him and visited the palace, the palace card worth 300 taels will naturally have to be returned.

It's really heartbreaking that 300 taels.

Li Zongyu was still looking at Bai Ziang with a smile, his expression didn't move, but he said calmly.

"Take it, there will be many days in the palace in the future."

Jiang Jinyue curled her lips, wondering if it was her unlucky or Li Zongyu's unlucky, why did she get caught up in this royal battle and couldn't escape?

After a pause, Li Zongyu said again.

"The maid you asked me to look for last time should have fled to the south of the Yangtze River. My people are looking for it, so it should take a while."

Jiangnan?

Jiang Jinyue was startled, and wanted to ask more, when the carriage came to a sudden brake, Bai Ziang, who was playing in the carriage, was confiscated, and rolled down the road.

Li Zongyu has quick eyes and quick hands, and has already carried the child into his arms.

Before Li Zongyu could ask what was going on, there were already crying outside the door.

"Second sister! Second sister! Please let mother go..."
