Chapter 143 Lies ([-])

Li Yuanbo replied: "It was Erchen's cronies who came back from Jiangxi and informed Erchen about this matter, but the local people didn't go into it because the admiral of the navy quickly released the food."

"Your cronies are all over Jiangxi? Even inside the Jiangxi Navy?" Emperor Wu laughed angrily: "Does that mean that all the important military offices also have your cronies?"

This question is too dangerous, and Bai Shuangshuang was terrified when he heard it, but Li Yuanbo said calmly: "Father, it is fortunate that I have a close friend in Jiangxi this time, so I heard about it. If caught, it will be more difficult to deal with in the future.”

Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo have always had different political views. Although Li Yuanbo has deliberately avoided the party disputes in the court these years, Li Yuanyi is still afraid of Li Yuanbo, but today they both came to Chuxiu Palace for the same thing Even if Li Yuanyi didn't expect that Li Yuanbo would reveal such a big thing, he still couldn't help but want to help.

Li Yuanyi raised his hand and said, "Father, fortunately, it's not too late for us to find out about this matter. Immediately arrange for the supervisory censor to investigate. Presumably there will still be some clues left."

At least these words calmed the furious Emperor Wu, but Bai Shuangshuang could feel that even though Emperor Wu did not pester Li Yuanbo's "confidant" anymore, in his heart he still cared a lot about the organization behind Li Yuanbo's inquiring about the news.

Seeing that Emperor Wu and others did not talk about the court affairs, Concubine Hua quickly seized this opportunity to come out to ease the atmosphere. "It's rare that the Chuxiu Palace is so lively. If it wasn't too deserted in the past, the concubine wouldn't have called the two sisters of the Bai family into the palace to chat with the concubine."

Bai Mingzhu was terrified by Emperor Wu's rage just now, and now she dare not say a word, and Bai Shuangshuang deliberately wanted to distance herself from Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo, and she didn't dare to answer Hua Guifei's words .

Emperor Wu got angry, as if he was a little tired, he leaned on the cushion behind him, pointed to Bai Shuangshuang and said to Li Yuanyi and Li Yuanbo: "This Bai family daughter is an acquaintance of the two of you, right?"

Li Yuanyi knew that Concubine Hua Gui had recently gotten very close to Bai Mingzhu, the youngest daughter of the Bai family, and even recognized her as her god-sister. Today, he brought Bai Shuangshuang to the palace on a whim, and he didn't think it was Concubine Hua Gui's whim. .

He asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Emperor Wu today, and when he learned that Emperor Wu came to play chess in the Chuxiu Palace where Concubine Hua lived, he rushed over immediately.Li Yuanyi knew that there was a servant next to Emperor Wu who was Concubine Hua, and it was that servant who reminded Emperor Wu to come to Chuxiu Palace today.

Li Yuanyi was afraid that Concubine Hua would use the previous rumors between Bai Shuangshuang and him as an introduction to attract Emperor Wu to be unfavorable to Bai Shuangshuang, but he didn't want to meet Li Yuanbo who was walking towards Chuxiu Palace before he arrived at Chuxiu Palace.

Li Yuanbo's complexion was very ugly at that time, apart from anxiety, there seemed to be some anger. Although he didn't understand why, he still felt sorry for Li Yuanbo and invited Emperor Wu together.

Now that Emperor Wu asked such a question, Li Yuanyi could only reply as calmly as possible: "I have only met Miss Bai a few times, and I appreciate Miss Bai's character and chess skills. I really want to make friends with you." She smiled sheepishly and said, "However, Miss Bai has been politely rejecting Erchen, which makes Erchen a little embarrassed."

"Oh?" Emperor Wu showed a strange expression: "You are actually the one who was declined?" He asked Bai Shuangshuang: "Are you looking down on the prince?"

Although Emperor Wu said that he did not want Bai Shuangshuang to confuse his two sons, he also did not want someone to reject his son thousands of miles away. After all, she was also a prince. She was a lady from a fifth-rank official family, what qualifications did she have? reject?
Bai Shuangshuang lowered her head and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it's not that the minnv look down on His Highness the Crown Prince, it's just that the Crown Prince is the son of a real dragon, and the minnv can't and dare not make friends." love."

This remark made Emperor Wu slightly approve, he nodded, and then said to Li Yuanbo: "Then you were also rejected by others when you approached with a stern face?"

Bai Shuangshuang was confident in Li Yuanbo's answer. After all, the two of them had really had contact with each other. Li Yuanbo should be able to figure out Bai Shuangshuang's idea of ​​getting rid of the relationship now.

However, before Bai Shuangshuang let go of her heart, she heard Li Yuanbo say: "I do have a relationship with her."

"..." Bai Shuangshuang felt that her heart had stopped suddenly, and even her breathing had stopped unconsciously.

why?Why did Li Yuanbo say that? !Doesn't this push me into the fire pit? !

"Have you ever been in contact?" Emperor Wu squinted his eyes: "How do you communicate?"

Bai Shuangshuang recovered and came to see Li Yuanbo opened his mouth to answer, and immediately took a step forward, snatching what Li Yuanbo wanted to say, and explained directly: "If you go back to the emperor, Lord Jue appreciates the bravery of the people's daughter when she rescued the memorial tablet. When I canceled my engagement with the second young master of the Cheng family, I stood up and spoke for Minnv, and Minnv is very grateful to this day."

Emperor Wu didn't speak, but just looked at the cautious Bai Shuangshuang thoughtfully.

But Concubine Hua gave a coquettish smile and said, "Prince Jue, you are notoriously cold-tempered. It is rare to be able to stand up for you when Miss Bai wants to cancel the engagement." On the shoulder of Emperor Wu, it was as if an old couple were talking about their children, and he teased: "If it weren't for Lord Jue who has always been not good at women, all the concubines would think that Lord Jue was waiting for Miss Bai to break off the engagement, and then turn to We have welcomed Miss Bai into the mansion as a side concubine."

Bai Shuangshuang didn't have time to think about it, and immediately knelt down on the ground again, and explained in a anxious tone: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, the daughter of the people has never had an affair with Prince Jue or His Royal Highness, let alone... "

"What's more?" Emperor Wu sat up straight and stared at the kneeling Bai Shuangshuang: "What's more?"

Bai Shuangshuang swallowed hard, closed her eyes and took a few quick breaths: "What's more... Minnv already has a sweetheart."

"Oh?" Emperor Wu glanced at Li Yuanbo, whose expression suddenly changed: "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"It's... from the Cheng family, young master, Cheng Ruoyun..."

As soon as Bai Shuangshuang said this, the faces of all the people present changed. Li Yuanyi and Emperor Wu were surprised, Li Yuanbo and Bai Mingzhu looked fierce, and Concubine Hua frowned to express her displeasure.

Emperor Wu looked at Bai Shuangshuang who was kneeling tremblingly on the ground, pondered for a moment and said: "Cheng Ruoyun? You broke off the engagement with the second child of the Cheng family, but the person you like is the eldest of the Cheng family?"
