"Haha, I would like to see how that Li Yi will escape this calamity!"
In the Duke of Chen Residence, Chen Chong stepped into the residence with a smile on his face. This caused the servants in the residence to feel puzzled. Did the sun rise from the west today? The Second Master, who usually treated others with disdain, was actually smiling so happily?
A few coughs came from a hall in front of them. Chen Qing, who had taken a leave of absence due to illness, walked out. Seeing the laughing Chen Chong, he asked in confusion, "What happened in court today for you to be so happy?"
A moment later, after hearing Chen Chong describe what he had seen in the palace today, a hint of shock involuntarily appeared on Chen Qing's pale face. "Is this true?"
"It's true, it can't be any more true. At that time, I was watching from afar. This is him seeking his own death, he can't blame us!" Chen Chong laughed loudly and said, "I will immediately write a memorial of impeachment. Under the eyes of the public, all the officials saw it. This time, even His Majesty will not be able to protect him!"
At the corner of the corridor on the right, the prayer beads in the white-haired lady's hand were broken, and the beads fell to the ground.
…
…
The same scene was happening in the homes of many officials. In an instant, innumerable impeachment memorials flew toward the Imperial Palace like snowflakes, and innumerable people's jaws dropped in shock.
"To the Wang Family!"
In the crown prince's residence, the crown prince's consort, who had just received the news, paled. She hurriedly boarded a carriage and left the residence.
In the Li Residence, the old madam had an anxious expression. She immediately had the servants prepare the visiting cards and send them to the various noble families in the capital.
In the viscount's residence, the bruised Fang sat on the stone steps in front of the door, staring at the sky in a daze.
With such an evil woman in the house, these days … were truly unbearable.
Suddenly, the sound of hooves came from the end of the road. Fang turned his head and saw a fast horse galloping in his direction.
"Son-in-law has been a little unhappy these past few days," Xiao Huan murmured, her hands supporting her chin as she looked at the young mistress and second young mistress.
There was a hint of worry on Ruyi's face. As the closest person to Li Yi, she could naturally notice the changes in Li Yi these days, but she didn't know what she could do.
Miss.Liu leaned against the table with her sword in her arms. There was no expression on her face. She frowned as she thought of the words and emotions that Li Yi said that she couldn't understand.
"Young Mistress, something bad has happened!"
Fang's panicked voice sounded outside the door, and the three women turned their heads at the same time.
…
…
"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for Xian Er!" A woman in a palace dress grabbed Emperor Jing's arm and said through gritted teeth, "My poor son, he was almost beaten to death by him … That Li Yi must pay with his life! Also, that Li Xuan, we can't let him off easily! "
The woman wearing the phoenix coronet slowly stood up. She looked at Imperial Consort Cui and said, "Sister, before this matter is fully investigated, you should calm down."
"How can I calm down? How can I calm down? My son has become like that. How can Her Majesty want me to calm down?" Thinking of the miserable appearance of her son in the imperial physician's office, Imperial Consort Cui showed a fierce expression and said fiercely.
"Don't talk." Emperor Jing waved his hand and asked the imperial physician, Liu Jimin, who had been standing by for a long time, "How is the King of Shu?"
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Shu has a broken nose and three ribs. There are many bruises all over his body, but fortunately, his life is not in danger. I have already set the bones for the King of Shu. If he wants to recover, I'm afraid he will have to rest for a few months."
Emperor Jing frowned. This matter was really beyond his expectation. Although Li Yi didn't seem to be steady at all, he was definitely not reckless. Why did he suddenly beat a prince in the palace?
What kind of stimulation did he receive to make him lose his composure like this?
"How is the investigation going?"
Emperor Jing said faintly, and Chang De's figure appeared in the palace like a ghost.
"It's all clear." Chang De nodded and waved his hand in the direction of the palace door. He said loudly, "Let them in."
Two eunuchs walked in with pale faces. They knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your servants greet His Majesty, Her Majesty, and Imperial Consort!"
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Get up. Tell me everything you saw just now. Don't hide anything."
Even if His Majesty didn't say it, they didn't dare to hide anything.
The two eunuchs immediately described everything that they had seen in detail, including the few words that the King of Shu had whispered to Emperor Jing on the way. They did not omit any of it.
Hearing the two eunuchs say that the King of Shu first bullied Princess Yong Ning, Imperial Consort Cui's face changed. Then she flew into a rage and screamed, "Nonsense! Bullied Princess Yong Ning? How could Xian 'er be such a person? How dare you all deceive His Majesty and this consort! Do you all not want your heads anymore?! "
The two eunuchs thought that Imperial Consort Cui didn't know what kind of person her son was. They looked up at Emperor Jing and hurriedly knelt on the ground. They said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty, everything I said is true. If there is any falsehood, let me be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Emperor Jing frowned and said, "Go on."
The two eunuchs obeyed and told how the King of Shu bullied Princess Yong Ning and how Li Xianzi suddenly went crazy. They went forward to stop him and were knocked out by Li Xianzi. After that, they didn't know what happened.
After listening to what happened, Chang De was expressionless, but the eyes of the imperial physician, Liu Jimin, flashed a few times.
The Empress looked at Imperial Consort Cui and said coldly, "As an adult prince, he actually bullied a six-year-old girl. Sister, you taught your son well!"
A trace of panic flashed across Imperial Consort Cui's face. She hurriedly said, "Even if Xian 'er was wrong first, His Majesty should punish him. What kind of person is that Li Yi? He actually dared to offend his superior. He really deserves to die!"
"Suddenly went crazy?" Emperor Jing couldn't figure out why Li Yi suddenly went crazy. He had always been very accurate in judging people. He thought that he knew Li Yi very well, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Emperor Jing looked at the imperial physician, Liu Jimin, who stood out and nodded slightly to him.
"Before that, may I ask them a question?" Liu Jimin pointed to the two eunuchs and said.
Seeing Emperor Jing nod again, Liu Jimin looked at the two eunuchs and asked, "When did Li Xianzi go crazy?"
"I remember that at that time, the King of Shu kicked Princess Yongning's doll into the lotus pond. The little princess cried and said, 'Give me back, give me back my beautiful sheep …' After hearing this, Li Xianzi suddenly went crazy. He punched the King of Shu's face, and then …" A eunuch recalled and said.
The other eunuch nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Li Xianzi went crazy after hearing the little princess's words."
The two described the details of the King of Shu's beating in detail. As for Li Xianzi's "Go to hell", they wisely chose to hide it.
Liu Jimin turned his head, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished my questions."
Emperor Jing looked at him and said doubtfully, "Is this related to Li Xianzi's madness?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Jimin flattered Emperor Jing first and then said, "Your Majesty, according to my speculation, Li Xianzi should suffer from a rare hysteria. He usually does not show it, but if he is stimulated by some special things, he will immediately lose his mind and do some extremely crazy things."
"Your Majesty should know that Li Xianzi was seriously ill a few days ago. Your Majesty ordered me to go to the viscount's mansion to treat Li Xianzi. At that time, I found some clues, but I was not sure. Now it seems that there should be something in the little princess's words that can stimulate Li Xianzi."
"Beautiful sheep?"
Emperor Jing said in surprise. He could not help but think of the doll that Yongning often held in her hands.
It was personally sewn by Concubine Liang when she was alive. After Concubine Liang passed away, Yong Ning would often see Yong Ning holding it. Of course, at that time, her temperament was not so eccentric. Ever since she had a serious illness at the age of five, she became demented. She never opened her mouth to speak and only knew how to hold the doll in a daze.
It was not until now that Emperor Jing knew that the doll was called "Beautiful sheep", and this word could stimulate Li Yi's sudden hysteria …
Imperial Concubine Cui suddenly realized that the topic of their discussion had deviated from the main topic. What they were discussing now was not whether Li Yi was hysterical or not, but how to seek justice for her son!
Concubine Cui glared at Liu Jimin fiercely and said, "Your Majesty, he is exonerating Li Yi. How can there be such a disease in this world?"
Liu Jimin said unhurriedly, "Although this disease is rare, there are many records in medical books. If Your Majesty and Concubine Liang doubt it, you can send someone to check it out."
His expression was very indifferent, and there was no sign of guilt.
As an imperial physician, even if he was talking nonsense, there was a theoretical basis.
If she wanted to refute him on this point, Concubine Liang was still too young …
Emperor Jing thought for a moment and said, "Someone, go and bring that … that beautiful sheep to me."
Chang De waved his hand, and two guards immediately went out to carry out the order.
Imperial Concubine Cui anxiously said, "Your Majesty, even if Li Yi is suffering from hysteria, we can't let him off so easily. There's also that Li Xuan. When did Xian 'er offend him for him to be so heavy-handed? Princess Yongle just watched from the side and didn't stop him. They … they are all targeting Xian' er. There must be some conspiracy behind this. Your Majesty must investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Emperor Jing glanced at Concubine Cui. There was no conspiracy in this matter. Li Yi and Li Xuan were simply wearing the same pair of pants. MIngzhu did not hesitate to deceive her father and count on them to help the King of Shu. Wasn't she hoping that the sun would rise from the west?
"I will make a fair decision on this matter. The King of Shu will stay in the palace to recuperate these days. Send an imperial physician to accompany him. Concubine Cui, go back and wait first … The rest of you, follow me to the Hall of Diligent Government." Emperor Jing said lightly and walked out of the hall.
The Hall of Diligent Government was the place where Emperor Jing usually reviewed memorials and dealt with state affairs.
Li Yi and Li Xuan were now locked up here.
Li Xuan walked back and forth in the hall with a worried expression on his face.
He was not worried about what kind of punishment he would receive for beating up the King of Shu, but he was worried about Li Yi.
Since he was locked up here, he had been leaning against the pillar and giggling alone. He never responded to him when he talked to him. He did not know if he was possessed by evil spirits or was suffering from hysteria.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you …"
Li Xuan stretched out his palm and waved it in front of his eyes, but he still did not get any response.
When he couldn't help but reach out and pinch him, there was finally a movement at the door.
Li Xuan looked back and hurried over. He said respectfully, "Li Xuan greets Your Majesty and Your Highness."
The Empress took his hand and looked him up and down. She asked with concern, "Xuan 'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"
"No, no." Li Xuan said with some embarrassment.
Emperor Jing glanced at him and asked, "Where is Li Yi?"
Li Xuan pointed to the pillar not far away awkwardly.
Emperor Jing strode over. When he saw Li Yi's appearance, he could not help but be shocked. Was what Imperial Physician Liu said true?
"Your Majesty, after seeing County Magistrate Li, I feel that my guess is almost right." Imperial Physician Liu thought that County Magistrate Li was indeed County Magistrate Li. His cooperation and acting skills were simply flawless …
"Bold Li Yi, do you know your crime!" Emperor Jing looked at him and suddenly said coldly.
Li Yi had a faint smile on his face. He seemed to be completely immersed in his own world and was not moved at all.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little awkward for a while.
"Ahem!" Emperor Jing coughed and his old face could not help but turn red.
"Your Majesty, you can't wake County Magistrate Li like this …" Liu Jimin hurried forward and stretched out his hands to slap in front of Li Yi's eyes. He said loudly, "County Magistrate Li, what is a beautiful sheep!"
Li Yi's body shook violently. He looked up and saw Emperor Jing standing in front of him with a black face. He was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, when did you come!"
"Li Yi, do you know your crime!" Emperor Jing looked at him and repeated what he had just said.
"We'll talk about this later."
Li Yi showed a trace of excitement on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I think I know how to cure Princess Yong Ning's illness."
The corners of Changde's mouth twitched, and the expressions on the faces of several palace guards were quite interesting.
In the whole palace, no, in the whole world, who dared to speak to His Majesty like this after being questioned in person? Who else but County Magistrate Li!
"Is this true?" Emperor Jing's eyes flashed fiercely and his breathing became slightly rapid.
Concubine Liang had a weak temperament and was his favorite concubine. Her early death was still a pain in his heart until now. Yong Ning's character was almost the same as Concubine Liang's, so he was naturally very fond of Yong Ning. However, after a serious illness, she suffered from the illness of losing her soul. She did not even recognize him, the Emperor Father, which made him feel helpless and disappointed …
If Li Yi could really cure her, as long as he did not commit the crime of rebellion and treason, so what if he was pardoned?
What's more, this time he did not …
"Is what you said true?" After all, he was the Emperor of a country. When Emperor Jing spoke again, his tone had returned to calmness. However, the excitement in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.
"Yes." Li Yi took a deep breath and said.
…
…
"Is he serious?" Li Xuan stood at the door of a palace and said with some uncertainty.
"If he said it's possible, then it should be possible …" Li MIngzhu looked at the closed door and said hesitantly.
Emperor Jing sat in a curtain, which had long been propped up with a canopy. His eyes were also staring in front.
Inside the hall, the little girl stood there blankly. Her eyes were empty as if she had lost her soul. She kept muttering, "Beautiful sheep is gone, beautiful sheep is gone …"
Li Yi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He squatted down and held her in his arms. He whispered, "It doesn't matter if Beautiful sheep is gone. We can make another one. What else does Yong Ning want? Pleasant sheep? Red Wolf? Or … Little Gray Wolf? "
After saying this, Li Yi could clearly feel the little figure in his arms tremble. The soft murmurs disappeared. She looked up at Li Yi. Her wooden face finally showed some other expression. There was an inconceivable light in her big gem-like eyes.
Gradually, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her little mouth pouted.
She hugged Li Yi tightly with all the strength in her body.
"Wah!"
Suddenly, there was a cry in the hall. It was heartbreaking and heart-wrenching …
