Chapter 49： I don't know if it's good or bad

Li Mingjin did not explain to Emperor Tiansheng that the assassin was Princess Jiayang. This matter involved various conflicts of interests. He did not want Luo Shuyu to be placed under a high wall. Even if he told Emperor Tiansheng, it would only become a one-sided affair of Luo Shuyu. They may also suspect that they have bad intentions, so they simply concealed the matter, and everything is still based on evidence.

Luo Shuyu only needs to act as if she is a victim.

For this reason, he was also called into the palace twice, and received the care and baptism of everyone in the harem. After the limelight passed, their husband and wife could be considered to be quiet and live their small lives.

However, catching the assassin still fell to Li Mingjin.

Among the princes, the third prince is neither the prince nor the eldest prince. Emperor Tiansheng originally wanted to choose the fourth prince, but considering that he had refused to marry Princess Jiayang before, he gave up, at least the strength of the third is still there. There are competent officials below to help, and the investigation of the assassin is also a training for him.

Li Mingjin just led people to search for assassins inside and outside the capital every day.

According to Luo Shuyu's suggestion, he strictly checked the people who came into the city every day, even the farmers who came to the city to sell fruits and vegetables were not spared.

Emperor Tian paid off, he really let him find something.

This Princess Jiayang did not return to the city, but he did not leave the capital either. Although it was different from what they had guessed, it was still the same.

Li Mingjin couldn't help but sigh that his daughter-in-law's expectations were as good as gods, and if he was a man, he would definitely be the champion of Jinke.

When Li Mingjin's men checked the gate of the city, they actually found a few people with different accents. After sending people to follow them, they found that these people lived in an uninhabited house on the outskirts of Beijing, a little distance from other villagers. Undiscovered.

Li Mingjin sent people to stay here for three days, and found some new things. Don't think it looks like a deserted house, but there are still many people coming and going every day, all of them are very familiar, and many of them are court officials. , Li Mingjin asked them to record the specific time when these people came in and out, and also recorded their conversation.

Those who dare to run here are not afraid of death, collaborating with the enemy at this juncture? However, it is also possible that these court officials are actually the spies of the State of Zhou, and they work harder than others to get a higher position.

Moreover, some of these officials often have close contacts with the crown prince or the first prince.

Li Mingjin reported the matter directly to Emperor Tiansheng, which caused Emperor Tiansheng to be furious, so he directly sent more people to him and let him continue to investigate.

Li Mingjin ran outside every day in order to check the assassins. Luo Shuyu was a little worried. The weather was getting colder and colder, and he was afraid that he would get sick or something. When he returned to the house every day, he would first let him drink a bowl of **** soup.

Compared with Li Mingjin running outside, it is much easier for Luo Shuyu to enter the palace to fight wits in the palace. It is nothing more than being stabbed by the crown princess, or taking a trap thrown by the first prince, not to mention the queen and the queen dowager. All of them had to respond well, otherwise they would cause trouble for him and Li Mingjin.

However, since the princess lost her child, she seldom went out. She just came to the queen to greet her. Occasionally she happened to encounter Luo Shuyu entering the palace. She has not been looking very well recently, her complexion is very bad, and she is weak when she speaks. She should have an abortion. It was a huge blow to her, and the child that many people had hoped for was gone.

On the other hand, the eldest prince concubine with a slightly bulging belly, her face is full of red light all day long, more and more round and jaded, and laughs when she sees people, which is in sharp contrast with the crown princess.

After the crown prince and the eldest prince have finished fighting, it is the turn of the empress and the concubine Lin to go back and forth. No prince or princess was born in Emperor Sheng's harem for a long time. In recent years, Emperor Tiansheng has always had some problems with his body, and he is not so concerned about spreading branches and leaves. Now the harem is complimenting the Queen and Concubine Lin, and the people behind them are like seesaws, one after another.

Luo Shuyu sees everything in his eyes. Every time he enters the palace, he waits to watch the play. After watching the play, he goes to Mei Fei to sit down. After a trip to the palace, those who didn't know thought he was going to the Nanmen Vegetable Market.

Today, he entered the palace again to chat with a group of concubines in the harem. Luo Shuyu took all precautions to prevent them from bringing the topic to his head.

The Crown Princess has not been pleasing to anyone recently, so she doesn't participate in the topic very much. With the support of the Queen, no one dares to mention sad things in front of her.

Since the first prince concubine became pregnant, her temperament has become flamboyant, and the prince concubine is not easy to offend, but Luo Shuyu, who has not yet conceived, can make a toss. Sitting is boring anyway.

"Shu Yu, we have held a banquet this year, why haven't you started it, it's been quite boring recently, why don't you hold one too?"

Luo Shuyu really wanted to block her mouth with His Royal Highness's socks. If she didn't take care of raising a baby at home, she would join in the fun and ask him to have a banquet. Find someone to reason with, the eldest prince still doesn't make trouble with Li Mingjin all day long.

Luo Shuyu naturally couldn't agree, he couldn't make trouble for Li Mingjin, and now everything is not peaceful, Zhou Guo's spies and the prince are watching, whether the baby of the first prince can be successfully born is still a problem, he thought about it. , then said not in a hurry, "Sister Ruoyao, recently, my Highness told me that there are many refugees in the shed on the outskirts of the city. I thought that instead of holding a banquet in this winter, it would be easier to catch cold, so it is better to do it. The money from the banquet was exchanged for food and sent to the refugees.”

With such a profound sense of righteousness, even the queen and the concubines present were moved, and the topic shifted from the banquet to the refugees.

Concubine Wei, who is also the son, said: "Empress Empress, the concubine thinks that the third prince and concubine said it very politely. Why don't we make a charity donation to buy some food or a quilt for the refugees to spend the winter, which can be considered as a relief for Your Majesty."

The empress looked at Luo Shuyu in different ways: "This palace will see the line." I really regret not choosing Luo Shuyu to be the concubine of the prince.

Luo Shuyu was a little surprised that Concubine Wei Xian spoke for him. In the past, Concubine Wei Xian basically did not participate in these open and secret battles. Today is really unusual.

Wei Xianfei, formerly known as Wei Xi, is the son-in-law of General Zhenbei. He has been very favored since he entered the palace. He has a certain place in Emperor Tiansheng's heart, but he has never had children of his own. It is also a means of saving his life. After all, his father He held important military power. If he had his own children, the situation in the harem would be different today.

The charitable donation will naturally fall on the crown princess. For such a good thing to gain fame, the queen will of course want it to fall on her own son. It happened that the crown princess had just had a miscarriage, so she had a reason to do good deeds.

Luo Shuyu didn't have any resentment at all about this, on the contrary, he was lighthearted. The fact that he was kidnapped by an assassin some time ago was already enough of a show, so he didn't need to come back again.

Before leaving, Luo Shuyu quietly fell behind and thanked Concubine Wei Xian.

Concubine Wei Xian smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me. Concubine Mei often brings me some vegetables, which are very suitable for my taste. It's just a little effort."

Luo Shuyu really didn't expect that Concubine Mei and Concubine Wei Xian still had friendship, but on second thought, maybe it was just an excuse.

After leaving the palace, Luo Shuyu didn't know that the people who served by Concubine Wei Xian were also very puzzled.

Waiter: "Master, why did you help the third prince and concubine today?"

Wei Xi changed the wooden hairpin and asked, "What do you think?"

Waiter: "Do you sympathize with the third prince and concubine?"

Wei Xi chuckled: "He doesn't need my sympathy, that kid is smart."

Waiter: "Little stupid, please ask the master to give some advice."

Wei Xi patiently said: "Today you can see that the first prince concubine deliberately embarrassed him?"

Waiter: "Isn't it normal to have a banquet?"

Wei Xi: "Think about what's going on now, the crown princess just had a miscarriage, and the eldest prince has a belly. Who dares to invite him to the mansion, and if something goes wrong, who will take care of it? He's smart. He will use current affairs to subtly resolve a dispute, and others will not take his fault. Not only did he reject the First Prince, but he also gave the Crown Princess a step, but unfortunately the First Prince didn't want to go over his idea."

Waiter: "This is killing three birds with one stone."

Wei Xi: "He has a good heart. When everyone is using their heirs to compete for favor, he pays attention to the common people. For this alone, the pattern is not comparable to the other two."

Waiter: "If the master also has heirs, why should he do this?"

Wei Xi smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to be alone."

Waiter: "The master will help the third prince and concubine because of the letter from the master a few days ago?"

Wei Xi: "That's right."

How could it be so easy to be General Zhenbei, otherwise why would his son enter the palace? To help Luo Shuyu today, he also has his own selfishness, and it is always difficult to settle down.

After Luo Shuyu returned to the mansion, he told Li Mingjin that Concubine Wei Xian helped him speak.

It was a bit unexpected that Concubine Wei Xian suddenly helped him today, and it was different from his previous knowledge.

His words are not just as simple as helping, Concubine Mei's credit? Certainly not. Concubine Mei is notorious for being ignorant of people. She and Concubine Wei Xian do not have much interaction. It may be possible to deliver food to Concubine Wei Xian, but if it is not enough to speak for him, she will offend Concubine Lin and the First Prince. Concubine is the premise.

Of course, other people will not touch Concubine Wei Xian. He is also the target of the two palaces. If he can get the help of General Zhenbei, there is nothing to contend for.

Li Mingjin was cutting an apple for Luo Shuyu with a knife and stuffed a piece into his mouth: "Concubine Wei Xian speaks for you?"

Luo Shuyu swallowed the apple and said, "Well, I feel a little strange. He said that he has a vegetable relationship with the mother-in-law. I don't think so."

Li Mingjin: "Indeed, I guess it should be General Zhenbei."

Luo Shuyu: "How do you say?"

Li Mingjin: "My father gave an decree yesterday to let him go back to the court."

Luo Shuyu: "At this juncture, the teacher is returning to the court? Is it the meaning of the father?"

The nomads in the north often cross the border to **** food in winter, and it is winter, and it is not suitable to return to Beijing.

Li Mingjin: "Someone said something, my father might have something in mind."

Luo Shuyu: "What about the person who will replace General Wei?"

Li Mingjin: "Right now, the prince's faction and the eldest prince's faction are still arguing. If they both want to send their own people, they must be arguing for a month or two."

Luo Shuyu recalled the contents of the book. He really didn't care much about current affairs back then. He knew that when General Wei went back to the court, but he didn't know who he sent to the north.

After he came back, many things were brought forward, first his and Li Mingjin's marriage, and then Shen Mingyun's entry into the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Luo Shuyu opened his mouth to eat another piece of apple, but Li Mingjin didn't feed him, and urged, "Your Highness, an apple."

Li Mingjin pinched his chin: "I'll give it to you if you ask my brother."

Luo Shuyu: "..." His Royal Highness's face is getting thicker and thicker.

Li Mingjin: "Yu'er, I want to hear your name brother."

"Then I won't eat it." Luo Shuyu's face was hot, she turned her face away and ignored him, Li Mingjin just had the ability to interject a digression when he was talking about serious business.

"No, I want to eat it." Li Mingjin bit the last piece, met Luo Shuyu's lips, and fed the apple directly into his mouth. Luo Shuyu had to eat it, and Li Mingjin asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Luo Shuyu blushed and glared at him: "You sleep on the couch tonight!" After speaking, he was about to get off the ground and go to the bed, but was hugged from behind by Li Mingjin.

"Okay, I know I was wrong." Li Mingjin just wanted to hear him call his brother twice. If he doesn't call him now, he will have to call him in bed later, "Let's continue talking."

Luo Shuyu gave him an angry look: "Then move your hand away."

Li Mingjin patted the back of his right hand with his left hand: "Oh, it was placed by itself, it has nothing to do with me."

Luo Shuyu was amused by him: "Your Highness, sit down, and I won't talk to you any more."

"I promise to speak well this time," Li Mingjin said.

The atmosphere was gone, and he was still talking. Luo Shuyu didn't know what to say to him, so he had to sit up straight and find a comfortable position to rest on his lap.

Luo Shuyu urged him: "His Royal Highness continues."

Li Mingjin: "Oh, where are you talking about?"

Luo Shuyu: "The candidate to replace General Wei."

Li Mingjin: "It hasn't come out yet, but I think the fourth child is interested in it."

Luo Shuyu: "Your Highness really thinks it would be good for the fourth prince to go? But there is Shen Mingyun beside him."

Li Mingjin: "That's right, then don't let him go, it's better to send your own."

Luo Shuyu: "Who?"

Li Mingjin: "Lin Haiming."

To push is to push one's own people, but it also needs an opportunity. Li Mingjin needs to discuss these more in-depth matters with Chen Rong. After all, Luo Shuyu still has his own shortcomings. Most of the events in the book he read only mentioned the results and not the process. They could only remind Li Mingjin predictably, and did not know the specific people and events.

The details that Shen Mingyun didn't care about in his previous life are all things that Luo Shuyu needs to pay attention to now.

The charity donation activity was initiated by the Crown Princess, and ladies from all over the capital competed to donate surplus food and unwanted clothes and quilts at home. Although it was only urgent, it was indeed able to rescue many refugees in the suburbs.

The Crown Princess did this, which helped her gain a lot of favorability. The matter was even praised by Emperor Tiansheng once, and the Crown Princess had a rare smile on her face.

On the day she was praised by Emperor Tiansheng, the eldest prince and concubine complained sourly to the eldest prince after returning to the mansion.

First Prince Concubine: "It's clear that she didn't come up with this idea, but she was just asked by the Queen."

First Prince: "It wasn't her idea, whose idea was that?"

The eldest prince concubine: "I originally wanted the third sister-in-law to hold a banquet, but he said it was inappropriate now, so he came up with the idea of ​​donating. This matter is arranged for the crown princess, you are not angry."

The eldest prince: "These three sisters-in-law are also very angry, so they are not angry?"

First Prince Concubine: "I didn't see it, he usually sees everyone who is friendly and alienated."

The first prince: "Maybe the third brother really doesn't want that position, otherwise how could they hand over such a good opportunity."

The First Prince: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

The eldest prince sneered: "The prince has benefited, and the quota to go to the north should be given to us. I want to push the fourth brother to go."

First Prince Concubine: "Fourth brother is also good to go."

At the same time, Shen Mingyun, who had been depressed a lot recently, finally found that the Fourth Prince had left him in the cold.

The fourth prince slept in the study for a while, and he finally realized that something was wrong between the two.

Shen Mingyun rushed directly into the study to ask the fourth prince the reason, and the fourth prince told him that he would definitely go back to his room to sleep at night.

After all, Shen Mingyun made a few more recipes these days and made a lot of money.

The fourth prince also found that Shen Mingyun and the prince had no affair.

It was night, and the two were in the same room again. Tonight was extra exciting, and both of them were very satisfied.

It was only the next morning that Shen Mingyun found that his stomach hurt a little and the bed was a little red!

Half a day later, Luo Shuyu received a message from An Jiu.

He read the message twice.

Shen Mingyun is pregnant? ? ?

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, my brother wants to run through your whole body tonight.

Luo Shuyu:  …
