The Golden Hairpin

When Wang Zongshi faced her questioning, he only smiled. In the faint water waves at this time, the smile also seemed a little secretive: "Even if you know, why should I tell you? You are no longer our Wang family. People."

Huang Zixian pondered for a long time before saying: "I thought that under this current situation, father-in-law would also worry that his fish would be affected."

"Yes, but I don't want to entrust it to an outsider." He held a teacup in his left hand and supported Yi with his right, and said slowly, "Wang family's daughter-in-law, compared with the **** of the king's mansion, the degree of trustworthiness is too bad. Far."

Huang Zixia looked at him silently and did not speak.

And he looked at her expression, the gloomy face showed a smile for the first time, but it was slightly distorted in the fluctuating water in the room, which made her feel more gloomy.

"Reconsidering the marriage contract with the Wang family, I will let you intervene in investigating this matter."

It was almost noon when Huang Zixian returned to the palace of Kui.

She took Na Fusha to the stable, added fodder and beans to it, and turned her head to see Di E Dian'er leaning towards Fusha's neck.

She rubbed the evil head, but was thrown away fiercely by it. She was a little speechless, patted its head and said, "Really, we are also considered to be born to death, and we don't even give any face. I."

"It has a deep hatred with you, how can it easily give you face?" Someone behind him said, "After all, you took the Fusha out early in the morning, and it is depressed."

Huang Zixian doesn't have to look back, he also knows that it is Li Shubai. There was a slight nervousness in her heart, she turned her head and smiled at him: "So, am I sorry for it?"

Li Shubai glanced at the mud on Fusha's body, ordered someone to clean it, and then said to Huang Zixia: "Change clothes, just for lunch."

Huang Zixia nodded obediently, followed him for two steps, and finally explained with a guilty conscience: "In the morning...I went to find Prince Wang Zongshi."

"Oh." He said flatly, "I am fine now, and I should go out and walk like you."

Seeing that he didn't mind, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I went to check my breath. The prince should have nothing to do with this matter. Perhaps, she can be a help for the prince."

Li Shubai paused, looked back at her, and whispered: "The two of us have never dealt with each other."

Huang Zixia looked at him with questioning eyes.

He looked at her clear eyes, took another breath, and said, "I don't want you to worry about me."

In the freezing weather, the white gas he exhaled floated in the air and turned into nothingness.

"Why do you need to worry?" Huang Zixia silently took his hand and said softly, "The prince has been in the court for many years, standing upright, there is nothing to blame. They really can't hold your wrong place, they can only use gods and ghosts. This theory confuses the world and attempts to slander the prince. But false and false claims always have their roots, and we can take this opportunity to find the man behind the scenes."

Li Shubai looked down at her, shook his head and said: "It's not just that. We have encountered assassins in Shu before, you think, now I am in this situation, it is a good time to start, the other party will let this go. A chance?"

Huang Zixian frowned slightly and asked: "What the prince meant, they would still..."

Before they finished their words, they heard footsteps coming from nearby. Jing Yi came in and reported: "Just now, the prince, Lieutenant, Zuo Hujun, of the Shence Army, has sent someone to inform him that he is going to visit the prince at some time. Please take the time to meet him. "

Li Shubai looked at Huang Zixia, and Huang Zixia blinked, "Didn't you never deal with each other?"

Li Shubai looked embarrassed in front of her for the first time: "How do I know? Do you know what he is here for?"

Huang Zixia gave him an innocent look, saying that she really didn't know what he was doing here. But at this moment, a flash in her mind, remembering what Wang Zongshi said to herself last.

She lowered her head silently, and Li Shubai saw her suddenly calm down, and did not say anything, but slowly squeezed her hand, and said: "The saint has chosen Wang Zongshi, who has nothing to do with me, as a lobbyist among so many important court officials. , Naturally there can only be one reason."

Huang Zixia looked at him questioningly.

"Because he is a lieutenant of the Zuo Hujun of the Shence Army, and now in the capital, even the soldiers in the Department of Arms is less than half of Wang Zongshi. Now in the capital, he should be the only one who dares to put pressure on me."

Huang Zixian understood immediately and asked, "Sage is going to seize your military power?"

"Well, in addition to the Shence Army and the Yulin Army, the main force of the Shenwu and Shenwei Army, which was composed of the army that I moved from Longyou, is the main force of the Imperial Army of the North. The Sixteen Guards had existed in name only after the Anshi Rebellion. It was also after I conquered Xuzhou and rebuilt the Fanshang system with the various jundus. They were formed on the basis of the army of the Zhechong Mansion, and only I can control it." He frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "So, although I don't have a private army, it is indeed a serious concern for the court."

Huang Zixian couldn't help saying: "At the beginning you built these two forces to increase the power of the royal family and restrain Wang Zong in real time, and the emperor must support it."

"Yes, but the emperor chooses now is not me." He silently lowered his eyelashes and looked at the hands he clasped with her, with a slightly sad expression. "Why don't I know that keeping a low profile is the way to stand up? However, the royal family is declining. For many years, I can only show off in the center of Korea and take care of everything-but it seems that after all, I have gone the wrong way."

"You didn't go wrong. Without your efforts to restore the imperial power, who in this world can control Wang Zongshi? Shunzong, Xianzong, and Jingzong are all lost in the hands of eunuchs. The world only knows that there are eunuchs, but I don't know that there are royal families. Knowing the past, will not repeat it again?"

Because of her eager affirmation, he finally smiled silently, stroked her hair, and said in a low voice: "If the Lord could think like you, that would be great."

When Wang Zongshi came over, he was only with the boy who was next to him. It seems relaxed and freehand, but it is just an ordinary visit. However, the first words he said after sitting still caused Huang Zixia, who was standing behind Li Shubai, to frown.

He said: "Here is the meaning of the saint."

Li Shubai asked: "I wonder what the sage has ordered?"

Wang Zongshi leaned on the back of his chair, and the corners of his lips seemed to be smiling, and he said, "This matter had nothing to do with me, but who would dare to offend the prince easily? In the end, this drudgery fell on me."

"In that case, it's a very important thing."

"The prince also knows that yesterday's incident has already been spread throughout the ruling and the country. Such disturbances are not a good thing for the prince, and it is not easy to put an end to foolish people-after all, the king of E condemned it, but Kui His Royal Highness is filthy and chaotic, overthrowing the world."

Li Shubai listened to him silently and said nothing.

Seeing him not answering, Wang Zongshi stood up calmly and saluted him: "Now that the three-year period has come, the sixteenth guards of Nanya are about to change generals. If the prince is willing to let the court control the generals, he will release his supernatural powers. , Shenwu Second Army, the ruling and opposition world will know that the prince has no intention of rebellion. Then, I believe that the rumors will be quenched immediately, let the villagers and fools know that the prince is loyal to the emperor and love the country, and they will have this heart..."

"You said it was a fool of the villagers, how do they speculate in their hearts and what are they doing with this king?" Li Shubai interrupted him with a rare smile on his face.

The corners of Wang Zongshi’s lips also showed the arc of a smile: "Xiaguan knows that King Kui will not take lightly. However, the holy will is hard to violate, and the prince is now criticized by thousands of people. If he is still indifferent, I am afraid it will not be good. Explain to the people of the world, right?"

"There are thousands of people in the world, old and young, wise and foolish, how can this king take care of it?" Li Shubai still smiled, "Besides, the prince must also know that the king has been assassinated recently, if you even hold these People can't hold it, I'm afraid that sooner or later they will be in a crisis. Who in the world does not care about himself? This king has no choice but to lose the world first."

"If the prince does not nod, then I can only reply to the sage in this way." Wang Zongshi bowed his hand to him, "There is only one more thing, because Dali Temple is inconvenient to get involved, so the sage ordered the lower officials to cooperate with the criminal ministry to investigate and invite the prince Don’t hesitate to enlighten me to make things easier for me to wait."

Li Shubai naturally knew what was going on. He didn't say anything bad, but just nodded and said, "Of course."

"Does the death of His Royal Highness King E have anything to do with the prince?"

"The king also wants to know. After all, this king and King E have grown up together since childhood, and the brotherhood is not uncommon." He was calm, with only a little regretful expression on his face, "The king admits he has never done anything I'm sorry for King E, who knows that he would spread rumors like this before he died, causing people in the world to misunderstand him, which is really puzzling."

Huang Zixia listened to his plain narration, thinking about his sorrow that night when King E leaped from Chengque, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

In fact, he may be the person who cares about King E most in this world, but now he can only tell about his seventh brother with such a plain attitude.

Wang Zongshi's slightly closed eyes swept across Li Shubai's face, then dropped again, and asked, "I don't know when was the last time the prince met with King E?"

"At the beginning of the month."

"What was unusual about King E's attitude towards the prince at that time?"

"Nothing."

"Can the prince retell the situation to the next official?"

"I returned to him a bracelet that Mrs. Chen had lost, and he took it back and gave it to his mother's spirit."

Li Shubai did not say a word of extra, but the answer was indeed cooperating, so Wang Zongshi could only stand up and salute him: "Thank you, the prince. The next official will go to the Royal Mansion of E immediately to check if there is any evidence available, so as to as soon as possible. Return the prince to his innocence."

Li Shubai slightly raised his hand to show off the guests.

Wang Zongshi straightened up and looked at Huang Zixia's body for a round. A faint smile appeared on the always cold and rigid face, and said, "Huang girl, I don't know that. Can you think about it?"

Huang Zixia didn't expect that he would suddenly ask about this in front of Li Shubai, but was shocked and didn't know how to answer.

Although Wang Zongshi is more than 30 years old, he has been well maintained every day, and his skin is pale as jade. At this time, he smiles slightly, and he has the style of Wang Yun's spring willows. It's just that those eyes are still cold and sharp, making your back chills: "If you think about it, come with me to the Royal Palace of E and take part in the investigation."

Huang Zixian hesitated, his gaze fell on Li Shubai's body.

Naturally, Li Shubai didn't know what Huang Zixian and Wang Zongshi had said before. His eyes fell on Huang Zixian's body. He didn't ask a question, but Huang Zixian already felt guilty and could only look down at his toes cowardly.

The smile on Wang Zongshi’s face showed up again: “Please be considerate of the prince, if Miss Huang is still the **** next to you, she will need to avoid suspicion, and she will naturally not be involved in this case. So she came to me and promised to consider it. Wang Yun’s marriage, so that she is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, the wife of the Yulin Junyou commander, and the daughter-in-law of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry. There is no need to avoid suspicion of identity. Naturally, she can investigate the matter with us now."

"No need." Li Shubai withdrew his gaze from Huang Zixia, and said lightly, "Duke Wang and Wang Shangshu have personally discussed this matter. What worries does Prince Kui have for? Why bother to get a little **** in the way?"
