Great Tang princess

Chapter 36 The Death of Li Chunfeng

The time came to December, and it finally snowed. The red walls and green tiles of Daming Palace were covered by white snow, and there was a piece of silver everywhere.

Li Yuechen also put on a thick cloak, which looked like a fluffy little monster from a distance.

Today is the first day of the new year. After practicing in the morning, I went to the Sanqing Hall to recite sutras.

Coming out around noon, I originally planned to go to the court hall to listen to the news, but Fu said that the court has already gone down today.

Li Yuechen, who had nothing to do, suddenly decided to visit his cheap master Li Chunfeng on a whim.

According to the legend of later generations, he has the ability to speak the future, but I don't know if it is true.

He left the palace in a carriage and arrived at Li Chunfeng's mansion all the way.

After knocking on the door, there was a "creak", the door opened a gap, and a young Taoist priest who looked less than 20 years old opened the door.

Although the young Taoist had never met Li Yuechen himself, he also knew that Li Chunfeng had taken the princess as his apprentice.

Seeing the luxurious carriage and more than [-] Jinwu guards in armor, and then looking at the little girl with a big cloak and cute big eyes standing outside the door, she immediately guessed her identity.

Quickly opened the door and saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness."

"Exemption."

Li Yuechen raised his hand slightly: "Where is Master?"

"Yes." The other party replied with a nod, "But I went to see it just now, and Master hasn't gotten up yet."

While speaking, he already stepped aside to let Li Yuechen in.

Li Yuechen stepped over the threshold and raised his head curiously: "Haven't gotten up yet? But did you stay up for a long time last night?"

"I don't know about this... Xiao Dao, but Master has always been self-disciplined, so he shouldn't be able to."

"Then go and have a look, it won't be good if you get sick." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

The little Taoist quickly led the way, but he still replied very respectfully: "Your Highness is joking, the master is also proficient in medicine, if he is sick, how can he not know?"

The two came to the door of Li Chunfeng's room while chatting.

The young Taoist priest opened the door and took a look, then turned sideways and said, "Please look, Your Highness, Master is still sleeping!"

Li Yuechen poked his head directly to look inside, and the little Taoist couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

A girl just swaggered to see a man sleep!
Although women in Tang Dynasty are indeed open, this kind of thing has never been heard!
But this is a princess, what can he say, he can only quickly turn around as if he didn't see it.

Li Yuechen probed into the room and saw Li Chunfeng lying on the bed under the quilt, looking as if he was asleep.

Immediately, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly found that there was no charcoal brazier in the room, and the temperature was very low.

But Li Chunfeng opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't see the white mist produced when he breathed!
Feeling something was wrong, Li Yuechen stopped his figure again, raised his hand and slapped open the door with a "bang", and stepped in.

Xiao He and Fu Lai behind felt that something was wrong, and it was too late to stop her, so they had to follow her to the door of the room and watch her go in.

Li Yuechen walked quickly to the side of the bed, raised his hand and put it on Li Chunfeng's face.

Sure enough, it was cold to start with!
Surprised, Li Yuechen put his hand on his neck, and couldn't feel a pulse!
Most importantly, his body had obviously started to stiffen!

"Come on!" Li Yuechen suddenly shouted.

"Yes!" Fulai at the door quickly agreed.

Li Yuechen turned his head and walked out of the room, pointing at the little Taoist priest: "Take this person under control! Send people to Dali Temple and tell them to come and find out the cause of Master's death!"

"What? Master passed away?" The little Taoist was shocked, and was about to walk into the door when he was grabbed by Fulai and pressed to the ground.

Then Xiao He immediately ran to the door, called the Jinwu Guard outside, and directly controlled the little Taoist priest.

Li Yuechen didn't know if the cause of Master's death had something to do with this guy, of course it wasn't the best, but now he was indeed very suspicious.

Then Fulai asked a Jinwu guard to go to Dali Temple to call someone, and then sent someone into the palace to report to the emperor.

Seeing a Jinwu guard wanting to enter the house, Li Yuechen raised his hand to stop him: "Don't go in, lest you destroy the clues, wait for someone from Dali Temple!"

"Here!" Jin Wuwei agreed.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

The little Taoist priest under the control of the Jinwu Guards suddenly yelled: "Xiao Dao is wronged! Master is not my fault!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "I also hope that it has nothing to do with you! But as an apprentice, I must never let the master die in ignorance! Just wait quietly!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and stood in the yard, thinking about how Master died.

He has always been in good health, and he has never heard of any old problems.

And just entering the room to observe, he has a normal expression, at least he doesn't look like he has been in a fight.

It's a pity that Li Yuechen can only think of these things. She doesn't know how to investigate cases, let alone autopsy. These things can only be solved by professional people.

Fulai, who had been standing behind Li Yuechen, had been staring at her back with burning eyes, and there seemed to be a little excitement in his eyes.

Fulai was really thankful. When he was sent to serve the little princess a few years ago, he actually felt cold in his heart.

After all, the princess is different from the prince. If she serves the prince, if she sits on the dragon chair in the future, she will also be able to ascend to heaven as a matter of course.

But princess, even if she is favored again, she will stay away from the center of power in the future!

Before the princess was three years old, she didn't say a word. At that time, Fulai really felt cold in her heart.

The only consolation is that this princess is kind-hearted, gentle with others, and never bullies her servants.

Invisibly, let Fulai and his servants really feel sorry for this princess who can't speak from the bottom of their hearts.

Later, when the princess spoke, the servants were also happy.

Afterwards, the princess invented many interesting gadgets. Not only was she favored, but she also had a particularly good relationship with several brothers.

At that time, Fulai felt that it would be good if it continued like this, at least no matter which prince sat on the dragon chair in the future, the princess would definitely be able to talk.

However, the biggest surprise this princess brought him was that she was very mature in handling things, whether it was the previous He Lanmin matter or the current matter, she could order it to be dealt with calmly in the face of danger.

In the past few years, he has watched the princess grow up, and he can always feel uninterrupted surprises from time to time.

Not to mention that some time ago, I had to hand over the future store to him...

With so many things added up, Fulai now feels that following this princess is his luck.

Li Yuechen didn't know what Fulai was thinking behind him, but kept recalling the detective methods in some criminal investigation TV dramas he had watched before.

She also knows that there are many nonsense plots in the TV series, and there is definitely no way to completely copy them in reality.

But even so, many detective concepts should be far ahead of this era.

It snowed suddenly in the sky, Li Yuechen looked up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and sighed softly, feeling sorry for his master.

"Your Highness, it's snowing in the sky, it's better not to stand outside." Xiao He from behind came over and reminded.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "No problem."

After a while, people came to Dali Temple.

After all, it was the Jinwu guard next to the princess who reported it. I heard that the princess was at the scene, so Dali Temple Minister brought people here in person.

"Your Majesty Liu Yue, I have met Your Highness the Princess!" Dali Temple Minister saluted.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Excuse me. Master passed away, I hope Liu Qing will investigate carefully."

The title of "Qing" is different from the "Qing" called by the emperor. The emperor can call all his officials as "Qing", but Li Yuechen here is calling his official title.

He is the Minister of Dali Temple, so he is called Liu Qing. If he is the prime minister, he can be called Liu Xianggong, and if he is an official of Zhongshu or Menxia Province, he can also be called Liu Gelao.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best!" Liu Yue saluted.

Li Yuechen turned his head: "I came here to visit Master today, but..."

After probably talking about his past, he said: "Although I think this trail is suspicious, if it is finally found out that it has nothing to do with him, then let it go."

The reason why I specifically told him this sentence was because he was afraid that he would misunderstand that he wanted to kill this little Taoist priest.

In the officialdom of this era, everyone is a genius, it would be bad if he misunderstood.

"Here!" Liu Yue saluted and agreed.

Then Li Yuechen explained that after the case was found out, he asked him to send someone to tell him, and then he got on the carriage and went back to the palace.

It doesn't make any sense for her to stay here now. Instead, she is here as a princess, so that the people below can't let go of her hands and feet.

Back in the palace, he happened to meet the little eunuch sent by Zhang Chengxin and told Li Yuechen to go to Yanying Hall.

After Li Yuechen came over, Li Zhi hugged her up and comforted her, "Chen'er, I've heard about Master's passing away, don't be too sad."

"Yes." Li Yuechen nodded, "My child felt something strange, so I asked Dali Temple to investigate it privately, and I hope Grandpa will not blame me!"

"No problem, as a disciple, you should find out the cause of death for Master." Li Zhi smiled and patted her head, "I don't blame it!"

Seeing his attitude, Li Yuechen understood that Li Zhi was afraid that he would be too sad, so he comforted himself.

In fact, Li Yuechen couldn't be called sad.

After all, although she and Li Chunfeng are teachers and apprentices in name, they have actually met each other a few times.

The reason for doing this is only because I, as an apprentice, should do so.

But having said that, since Li Zhi has taken the initiative to call himself over to comfort himself, it seems that his efforts over the years have indeed paid off.

At least it can show that his current position in Li Zhi's heart is already very important.

Well, Dad's strategy is almost done, and the next step is Mom.

Speaking of making women happy, the first thing Li Yuechen thought of was cosmetics.

But the problem is... I can't make that stuff myself!
Cosmetics after more than a thousand years are almost all chemical products, Li Yuechen really doesn't know anything about this!
Although most of the girls she knows also play extreme sports, they can't take the future queen to go surfing and skiing, right?

In addition to these, what else can be used to make women happy?Li Yuechen, who was hugged by Li Zhi, began to think deeply.

Seeing his daughter lost in thought, Li Zhi thought she was sad for Li Chunfeng's death, so he didn't say anything, but quietly raised his hand and patted her on the back.

While expressing comfort, he hugged her and started walking.

Wu Zetian, who was reviewing the memorial on the table next to him, looked up, shook his head helplessly, and continued to review with his head down.

Now this daughter is so favored that even the queen can't help being jealous.

Thinking of this, she told Zhang Chengxin to open a can.

……

A few days later, Liu Yue sent someone to deliver a message to Fulai, and Fulai told Li Yuechen that Li Chunfeng's death should have nothing to do with that little Taoist priest.

First of all, there is no sign of poisoning, and poisoning can basically be ruled out.

Secondly, there was no external injury on the body, and the expression was very peaceful. It is basically certain that he died while falling asleep.

Most importantly, that little Taoist had no reason to harm him!

After listening to the report, Li Yuechen nodded to show that he understood. By the way, let Fulai pass on the message to let the little Taoist priest go.

I don't know if it's because Li Chunfeng is Li Yuechen's master, but Li Zhi later granted him a Taishi Ling and gave him a coffin.And let his son Li Yan serve as the new Taishi Ling.

Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the entire city of Chang'an has entered the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year.

Because Li Zhi abolished the system of hundreds of officials entering the palace to participate in the banquet on New Year's Eve, the court seemed to be thriving.

What Li Yuechen was worried about was whether the people affected by the drought would be able to live a good year.

As an extreme athlete, Li Yuechen knows very well that only when the country is rich and the people are strong can people like her not have to worry about survival, so that they can pursue the height of life.

Many people think that extreme athletes just like to die, purely for excitement.

In fact, this is not the case. Extreme athletes often love life more than ordinary people and enjoy a peaceful and strong national environment more.

Playing extreme sports is not to find death, but to seek the self in life in this way and experience the feeling of being alive with heart.

Every time after flying high in the sky or conquering the dangerous natural environment, I can always say with emotion, long live life!At the same time, I can say to myself, it’s great to be alive!
What extreme sports convey is not the concept of world-weariness, but the endless life and endless struggle!
It is the concept of focusing on yourself and doing your best to break through the shackles of life!

This is what every extreme athlete wants to convey!
……

Li Yuechen, who walked out of the court hall, looked at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, and listened to the discussions of hundreds of officials in the court hall behind him, he raised his legs and walked towards Chengxiang Hall.

Outside the hall, seeing Li Yuechen coming back, Shangguan Wan'er ran over bouncingly.

"Slow down, be careful of slipping." Li Yuechen reminded with a smile.

"This servant wants to play shuttlecock with His Highness." Shangguan Wan'er said in a low voice with some embarrassment.

Li Yuechen smiled and took her hand: "What kind of shuttlecock is it when it snows heavily? Come on, make a snowman!"

Then he ordered Fu Lai to get two pairs of gloves, followed by Guan Wan'er to prepare to build a snowman outside the hall.

It is worth mentioning that there is no difference between the gloves of this era and the mittens of later generations.

The four fingers are together, and the thumb is separated, which does not affect the grip of most things.

And because it is made of genuine leather, the warmth retention is quite good, and it is fluffy and comfortable when you put your hands in it.
