Chapter 430: Catching the Traitor (for the Fourth Expeditionary Force Wan Wan(1/2)

Li Chao was very tired. He would disappear directly when most people came. But when Princess Pingyang came, Li Chao could not be turned away directly. Li Xiuning's face was not very good, she seemed to have cried and her eyes were red.

"Sanlang, do me a favor, ask for help from Shimin, and let me go to the palace to meet my father."

Tai Chi Palace has basically become Li Yuan's prison now. Anyone who enters and leaves the palace has to go through layers of inspections, and even without the warrants of the Eastern Palace, he cannot enter at all. It is impossible for the emperor Li Yuan to leave the palace, and it is difficult for others to enter.

Even if Li Yuan wanted to issue an edict and told his old partner Pei Ji to enter the palace, he had to inform the Eastern Palace first, and then with the consent of the Crown Prince Li Shimin, Pei Ji could go in and see the emperor.

In order to avoid accidents, there are limited people entering the palace every day.

A princess like Li Xiuning who wants to enter the palace will also be approved by the Eastern Palace. She wants to see the emperor, Jiancheng and Yuanji, but Li Shimin refuses.

Li Chao himself was very tired and had to patiently persuade Pingyang.

"Should you wait a few days. The prince is very busy these days. I guess His Majesty is in a bad mood now. You might as well go to see His Majesty in two days. After His Majesty has adjusted his mood, you will then go to see His Majesty again."

"I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Shimin is so cruel. Did he ignore the relationship between father and son and brotherhood?"

Li Chao sat aside and didn't speak, the most ruthless imperial family. When you reach a position like Li Shimin and others, it's so simple to talk about feelings with them.

Besides, it was not just Li Shimin's cold-blooded and ruthlessness, it was the same. In the previous situation, even if Li Shimin honestly demoted and enfeoffed Hainan, I was afraid that Li Shimin would not be relieved after Li Jiancheng ascended the throne.

Such things cannot be simply judged. However, Li Xiuning belongs to the old Li family, so Li Chao will not make any judgments.

"Sanlang, do you have any wine?"

Li Chao was a little helpless. You came to my house to drink and find a drunken situation. What is this?

"Princess, why don't I bring you a few jars of good wine and take it home and drink it slowly?"

"No one will drink with me when I get home."

Chai Shao has been officially appointed as the governor of Longyou Road, and today he left Beijing to take office. At the same time, he also came out of Beijing to take office were Li Shiji, Hedong Road Governor Li Jing, Duji Road Governor Qu Tutong, and Henan Road Governor Liu Hongji.

The prince Xi Ma Weizheng was also appointed as a Shandong appeasement envoy and went to the Kanto area to appease the noble families.

"Why didn't the princess go to Longyou with General Chai?"

"I don't want to go." Li Xiuning was quite straightforward. Although the couple got married very early, their relationship was not good, especially in the past two years, their relationship became increasingly weak. Li Xiuning married several concubines to Chai Shao and was away all year round.

"Stop talking about those, bring a few bottles of good wine and drink with me."

Judging from her like this, she is clearly here to find drunk.

Li Chao went to pick up a small keg of beer.

The golden beer is poured into the thin and transparent Hebei Xingchi, which looks very good, and the wine is fragrant without sniffing.

Li Xiuning praised the wine and tasted good, and then drank it all in one go.

"The wine is a little light, are you mixed with water?"

"No, this is a new type of wine, beer, brewed with wheat and hops. It is mellow and delicious but not easy to get drunk."

"Then I'll take a little more, Erguotou, and a knife. I don't want to drink this kind of water-like beer. I want to drink some strong liquor, and I want to stop drunk."

I owe you old Li’s family. I slept with Li Er yesterday and today I will drink with you Li Sanniang. Can you consider my feelings? I just want to take a hot bath and then go back to bed and have a good sleep.

Li Sanniang's alcohol tolerance is quite good, and it's a bit amazing. Anyway, I drank seven or eight cups of half a tael of glass, without stopping.

"Princess, have some food, five-spice jerky, fried tofu, fried fish, all of which are good, as well as sweet radish and shredded kelp."

Li Xiuning only drank alcohol and did not eat vegetables, so she rushed to get drunk. In a short while, she had already drunk at least half a pound.

"Princess, you can't drink anymore, you're drinking too much."

"I'm not drunk, I still have to drink."

"Drunk people say they are not drunk. If you can read the words in the newspaper clearly, I will let you continue to drink." Li Chao took a book on the Tang Dynasty and handed it to Li Xiuning, but she took it and opened it, and read it in a mess.

After reading it, I lie on the table and stop talking.

Drunk.

Li Chao shook his head and could only call Cui Yingying, "The princess is drunk, arrange a room and send her to rest. Remember to send someone to take care of her. I guess she may vomit in a while."

Cui Yingying shook her head, and could only nod her helplessly, "Okay, leave it to me, you can go and take a shower and go to bed yourself."

Eastern Palace.

Chai Shao bid farewell to Li Shimin and rode his horse back to the mansion.

"Where is the princess?"

"The princess is out."

Chai Shao's face was a little gloomy, "Have you gone to Li Wenyuan's mansion again?"

The manager dared not hide it, so he had to nod.

Chai Shao entered the backyard and found that his two sons were at home.

In the past, the princess said she would go to the Li Mansion to study on the grounds of sending her son to Li Chao's mansion, but now her son is at home, she ran over alone.

Thinking of some secret rumors, Chai Shao couldn't help but clench his hands into fists and pressed them tightly.

He pushed open the bedroom door and the room was empty. Looking at the dressing table, Chai Shao shook his head and finally slammed the door and left. He rode his horse out after leaving the door.

"Mr. Lang, are you going to Weiqiao?"

"No, go to Li's Mansion."

"Which Li Mansion?"

"Let's go to Li San's Mansion."

When the servant heard the master calling out Li San, he was secretly surprised and a little embarrassed. He probably came to the door like this because of the princess.

Recently, the princess often went to Li's house, and sometimes she was still having dinner there, so that there were some rumors in Chang'an that the princess and Li San had an affair.

These servants knew about it before, but no one dared to tell Chai Shao, but it seemed that he had known about it long ago.

Chai Shao took his men to Wubenfang and rode his horse. When he was halfway, Chai Shaole stopped the horse.

"Let's go to Xiwei Bridge!"

Chai Shao turned around, and the servants didn't dare to speak, but just lowered his head and followed.

When he left the city gate, Chai Shao wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to the East Palace to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was a little surprised at the letter sent by Chai Shao. After opening it and reading it, he couldn't help but feel silent.

"Why is Your Highness frowning?" Changsun said gently beside him. "Have you encountered any trouble again?"

"It's Sanniang and Li San." Li Shimin frowned, not knowing how to tell his wife about this.

"The third lady is a hero among women and a heroine. I have also seen Wenyuan. She is young, talented, and always a little unreasonable. This person is a smart person. I have also heard some rumors about them."

"Then do you think this rumor is true?" Li Shimin asked. Li Shimin liked this third sister very much, after all, he was his legitimate sister and a compatriot.

Changsun walked behind Li Shimin and gently raised his shoulders and neck for him.

"I heard that Sanniang and Sichang seem to have a bad relationship."

"Well, it's been a few years, and it's a bit cold, but the surface is still pretty good."

"No wonder it's a different dream."

"Do you also think Sanniang and Li Sanzhen have something to do?"

"I think it's normal for something to happen. Sanniang and Sichang have a bad relationship. Li Chao is young and talented, literary and martial, smart and wise. They have a lot of contact with each other. It's possible to have a relationship over time."

Li Shimin was very unhappy when he heard this and snorted coldly, "This Li San is so presumptuous!"

"In fact, the relationship between men and women is not clear. This is also a matter of mutual affection, and one person cannot be blamed."

"The last time Gu asked Li San personally, he told me that he didn't. But now Chai Shao has sued me for the lawsuit, which is really outrageous."

"Wen Yuan said no? Maybe there is really no."

"But Chai Shao said that he had it. If his husband thought he had it, he would have it. Then eight or nine out of ten things would have it."

"What is your Highness going to do?" Changsun asked.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. What to do with it? This is a bit troublesome.

Chai Shao, whom Princess Pingyang married, is not an ordinary person. Not to mention that the Chai family is also a wealthy family, Chai Shao has made great contributions to the Li family. Now he has just appointed Chai Shao as the governor of Longyou Road, so Sanniang can't let Sanniang relate to him. Besides, Li San also has a wife. Sanniang and Chai Shaoli can't marry Li Sancheng.

"Your Highness, let me say something about this matter. It is difficult for a fair official to settle family affairs. Sanniang and Li Chao may not have anything. Even if there is anything, Chai Shao should be in charge of this matter. If Chai Shao doesn't say anything, or even agrees to tolerate it, then we can't say anything. One is your own sister, and the other is your important minister."

"Can you just let it go and let it go?" Li Shimin said angrily.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin is very unhappy. I am so kind to you, so you have to be like my sister? This generation is not right!

"You can't let Li San be too idle, otherwise you won't know how many such bad things will happen. Guanyin maid, I plan to let Li San be Chengqian's teacher. What do you think?"

"Wenyuan's talents are well known to everyone. I have also heard of the way he taught those students before. They are very novel, but they are also very good. I think it would be good if Chengqian and Qingque were given to Wenyuan for teaching."

"Then let Li San be the King of Chengqian!" Li Shimin made up his mind.

Yin Family.

Yin Ah-shu was drinking wine, and after hearing the reward from the manager, his face looked ugly.

"You mean, then Li San is unwilling to accept it?"
