Chapter two hundred and thirty-one

"I bow to you, Your Majesty! " Prime Minister Cao went up to Li Ting, knelt down and said, "just as Your Majesty is worried, the Minister of the court has already begun to worry about your punishment of the Zhao family... "

Li Ji was sitting on the throne without expression. "What is the reason? "

He had thin lips, and a cold voice came out of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, there is no evidence because of the Zhao family, and now his royal highness has been implicated. He has also been isolated in the court. "

"Why? What does the thing that I decide have to do with Uncle Huang? " Li Ji raises his eyes. Asked Prime Minister Cao, with a frown on his face.

The prime minister hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, it is because all the ministers in the court know that your highness is friendly with the empress dowager, so they feel that this time it was the king of Xiang and the emperor who designed to send the Zhao family to prison. "

"What does the Prime Minister think of me in this matter? "

Li Ji slowly got up and went to the prime minister. He looked at him with a condescending expression.

Prime Minister Cao, even though he was deeply suspicious, but dare not say: "I think, the emperor is doing so in preparation, after all, Zhao has been around Kyoto, has not really fade out of court. ". In view of what the Zhao family has done before, Your Majesty has good reason this time. These ministers are just worried about their own interests."

Smell speech, Li Ji Ting then can not help but of cold snort: "Prime Minister The Lord is the thought of my see thoroughly. "

At the moment, Zhao family is still in prison, but Li Ji Ting always feel something strange, since he gave the order to now, the Queen Mother has no action. It didn't make any sense to him.

If it were normal, the Queen Mother would have come out and rebutted. But not this time...

"That emperor, how do you think this matter should be handled better in the end? " Prime Minister Cao is also just can guess Li Ji Ting's general mind. As for the latter, he has no idea what Laetitia will do next...

"Don't worry about it, " Li said quietly. "These ministers in the court are old ministers, and I have given them the face to be suspicious. Let it be known that the emperor is ready to infuse fresh blood into the court. One day you will have to prepare for the imperial examination."

In this way, even if the ministers really have something in mind, they will not continue to show it. Will just sit tight, looking over my shoulder.

"Your Majesty is Wise. "

Not long after Prime Minister Cao went out, someone strode in from outside. Li Ji Ting looked up, was in charge of looking for Zhao Zhen: "Any news? "

"Your Majesty, there is only one piece of news. In a small village on the edge of Kyoto, his men heard that a woman had indeed lived in their village for some time a few months before. According to those who described it, it was similar to the situation of Her Highness, except now that the woman had left shortly after giving birth. And, it seems, he left around the time of the accident."

"Did you find out where the woman went? "

It is not the first time to get such complicated and confusing news. Today's Li Ting has become used to it.

"No, Your Majesty. After that, there was no news of the princess. The underlings and their men went all the way up to Luoyang, and there was nothing. "

Once again broke the clue, the expression on this man's face also appears to be more ashamed: "But the emperor rest assured, I will continue to pursue! "

"stay close to the empress dowager, and let me know as soon as you hear anything. "

Li Ji Ting finished saying and then let the person go down, and oneself is in the Luan and the temple inside keep pacing, is worrying about Zhao Zhen what will happen at this time.

However, he has now reached this point, even if it is to find Zhao Zhen, there is nothing to recover.

Night came quietly, Li Ji Ting finished reading the book, looked at the time is still early, the day outside is still light. He got up and went to the courtyard of the princess.

"HERE COMES THE EMPEROR! "

When the sound of Eunuchs came from outside, she got up and walked to the door with a happy face. Then she immediately thought of what Granny Liu had said to her. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and then he bowed his head slightly. "I, Your Majesty. "

The voice sounds a little faint, call Li Ji doubts a little frown: "What? Body Unwell? " said the side, side toward inside.

"Your Majesty, I am in good health. " Concubine de went to the other side and did not lean directly on Li ji-ting as usual.

This made Li ji-ting even more puzzled: "Why are you sitting so far away? Are you worried that I will come here today to quarrel with you? " Since the last big quarrel between two people, now almost half a year has passed. This is the first time Li Ting has come to the imperial Concubine's courtyard in half a year.

This should be warm to meet, but did not think she was so cold far away from their own.

"I just think the emperor sitting next to the people should not be a minister Qie... ... " this words out, the virtuous concubine oneself feel in the heart sad, originally thought Li Ji Ting will say some nice words, never thought to only hear his cold answer a.

"Just keep it to yourself. "

This words, in Li Ji Ting does not seem to be what, but in the heart of the moment into the imperial concubine, then let the imperial concubine's hope again dashed. However, although in the heart is sad virtuous imperial concubine's face still does not move a tone: "since so, that emperor today comes why? "

"This is my Harem. Why not come here? " Li Ting said, frowning at her. Then he got up. "Or do you think that you are now the concubine of virtue and that you are ready to make decisions? "

"I don't mean that. "

"Don't have to say this kind of don't know interest to me! " Li Ji Ting suddenly of anger call virtuous imperial concubine all couldn't help but shiver a while.

I was still scared to death of the man: "I understand. " Lightly should a voice and then raised his hand, he poured a cup of tea and presented it respectfully to Li. "The princess has been away for a few days. Why doesn't the emperor respond? "

"It's none of your business, " Li said coldly. "All you have to do is stay in the courtyard. "

With that, Li Ji Ting thought of something again, after a moment slowly open mouth: "can only listen to the person say the king of Chen a few days ago to you here, do what? "

A listen to Li Ji Ting this words, virtuous imperial concubine immediately a face of panic.
