Yan Cigui.

After hearing what Lin Yunyan said, Xu Jian remembered this.

He stayed in the forest at that time, while Li Shao was the first group to withdraw with An Yibo and Tao Commander.

By the time Xu Jian returned to the outside of the paddock, Eunuch Yu had already brought Li Shao back to the capital.

Afterwards, he heard Lin Yunyan talk about the previous situation, from when Xu Jian led people in for search and rescue to when the two met again, everything in between was minute and small.

These are extremely necessary communications, and they are originally planned for Li Shao, so they must have a clear understanding of the situation before they can respond accordingly.

Lin Yunyan also mentioned Li Shao's scream at that time.

However, the two of them did not pay special attention to this matter.

After all, with Li Shao's temperament, it was not strange to scream after being chased by a blind bear for so long.

"If the imperial concubine hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought of that." Lin Yunyan thought for a moment and tried to choose the most appropriate description, "His scream was very frightening, the kind that would scare me when I heard it. That fear."

Xu Jian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Lin Yunyan meant.

Lin Yunyan continued: "I originally thought that maybe because he was frightened by the blind bear, he passed away. After returning to the palace, he had a fever and fell ill again..."

If the two of them took advantage of a lot of darkness under the lamp, then when it came to Li Shao's screams, they were indeed preemptive and had a dark time under the lamp.

I just thought it was a bear disaster, but if I think about it more seriously, I'm afraid it might not be the case.

"Is Li Shao afraid of Blind Bear?" Lin Yunyan asked herself and Xu Jian.

Xu Jian replied: "Not quite."

He has dealt with Li Shao too much, and he has also caught Li Shao's many mistakes.

When Li Shao is really afraid of something, it shouldn't be like that. In other words, Li Shao has his own way of judging crises. Whether he is safe or not, his reaction will be completely different.

Blind Xiong poses no threat to Li Shao.

Maybe Li Shao was indeed afraid at first, but he saw Blind Xiong die with his own eyes.

An arm was cut off by Xu Jian, and he was surrounded and killed by Yu Lin. The blind man fell to the ground, motionless.

It chased Li Shao for a whole day, but it was completely dead. Li Shao even went up and kicked the corpse hard to vent its anger.

He passed away because he was exhausted from relaxing, and his fever was due to cold and exhaustion, and fear was probably only a small part of it.

When he went to court again, Li Shao talked eloquently about what happened that day in the paddock, without any hesitation.

And if he was really scared to his core, he wouldn't even talk about it.

Speaking of which, it was also because Xu Jian had been recuperating in the mansion and did not go to court in person, and what Li Shao said when he came to the mansion was limited, so he did not discover this early.

"So, it wasn't because of the blind bear that he screamed at that time," Xu Jian concluded, "What did he see?"

Lin Yunyan recalled: "When he woke up, he was in the shed. Eunuch Cao fed him water and asked the imperial doctor to do a brief examination.

Eunuch Cao asked him whether he wanted to go back to the palace or spend the night in the small hall. He said he wanted to go back to the palace.

I saw that he was in low spirits and his reaction was a bit slow, but his thinking was clear and he wasn't afraid at all.

When Eunuch Yu had prepared the carriage, Li Shao was so sleepy that he was carried out by Yu Lin until he got on the carriage...

Yes, the biggest change occurred when we came out of the shed. We were faced with a strong wind, and everything in front of our eyes was filled with fire! "

Commander Tao was arranging people to go into the forest to move the wounded, and everyone had burning torches in their hands.

Li Shao saw this scene in a daze...

"The more chaotic it is, the harder it is to tell what night it is," Xu Jian said. "He just can't remember it. It's not that he has no experience. The imperial concubine is right. Once he is in that situation, he will not be stabbed suddenly. Strange."

"If he can remember it," Lin Yunyan said, "we should be able to figure out what happened at Dingguo Temple."

At this point, she couldn't help but speak faster.

Xu Jian heard it, although he also knew that Lin Yunyan might not have noticed that she was too anxious.

After adding a cup of tea with her, Xu Jian deliberately slowed down her speech when she spoke.

The more important it is, the less urgent it is to be anxious. When he is anxious, she is calm, but when the little princess is anxious, it is the other way around.

That's how business is done.

"For him to react to the light of fire, it must be a fire. Even if it doesn't burn, it must be like that in the paddock. There were several large braziers lit around it and dozens of people holding torches," Xu Jian thought. Thinking, he added, "It was an accident that day. He happened to be confused. If he were more awake, it would probably not be enough to light the fire."

But I can find a place for him to watch the fire in the capital. Oh, I dare to let it go. It's just a pain for Mr. Shan, and he has to hold his black gauze hat and shudder in the Jinluan Palace. "

A teasing remark made Lin Yunyan laugh.

She laughed out loud, and the eagerness and anxiety in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she let out a slow breath.

"Hui Hui is in trouble for Master Shan," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "He is also unlucky."

Xu Jian curled her lips.

You can make fun of it, but it is actually inconvenient to set a fire. The capital is very big, but setting a fire can easily hurt people, so it is really not necessary to do that.

Of course, it would be best for Li Shao to revisit his old place.

Although Dingguo Temple was destroyed, it was still the place that most reminded Li Shao of the past.

However, based on Xu Jian's understanding of the Holy Sage, it was almost impossible for him to convince the Holy Sage to let Li Shao go to Dingguo Temple.

"It's a gamble," Xu Jian said. "No one is sure that Li Shao can really remember it. There are also people who have constant nightmares and forget everything when they wake up."

Lin Yunyan naturally understood.

What a mysterious dream.

"But look," she raised her eyes and looked at Xu Jian, "Today's step is also a blank space that has never been taken before, isn't it?

You said that the more you know, the better your luck will be. You have walked a lot of paths for me, and my luck has always been very good.

Even if it's a gamble this time, it's still worth a try. "

Xu Jian was slightly startled.

Lin Yunyan's eyes were bright, and her dark pupils reflected him. Under her slight smile, there was deep trust and tenderness.

He couldn't move his eyes away and looked at her for a moment. He only stretched out his hand, took Lin Yunyan's hand, and rubbed the soft back of her hand again and again.

To be fair, Xu Jian wanted to be cautious.

If he smashed it himself, he would smash it, and he would do it again if he could, and it was not that he had not experienced it; if he didn't do it again, it would just be a complete loss, and he could be regarded as walking out of this infinity.

But he couldn't bear to smash Lin Yunyan inside.

Such a good start was really messed up. The little princess has such a temper that no one can make her cry.

However, they had already started gambling.

As Lin Yunyan said, this area is all blank, and everything from now on will be in the fog. Every step you take is actually a "gamble".

What past experiences have left them is experience.

"It's time to give it a try," Xu Jian collected her thoughts and kept stroking her hands. The two did not conflict with each other, but she was very used to it. "It's just that I can't rush it, so I should try to be more thoughtful." Lin Yunyan nodded: "The deposed prince is the Holy Emperor. Only he was completely disappointed with Li Shao..."

The imperial concubine also said that the Holy Emperor had extremely deep feelings for Li Shao.

What Li Shao is doing now is the reason given by the Holy Emperor to the courtiers for deposing the prince, not the reason why he gave up the prince in his mind.

They still need to continue to find and arrange the final reason.

The next day.

Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian returned to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

Xiao Duan does have a lot to say to her granddaughter.

Lin Yunjing's wedding preparations went very smoothly, and the wedding date was set. It was chosen in May, which is a good time for warmth.

He also said that the Duan clan had previously written to let Duan Zhihuai go to Beijing. They thought that the distance between the two places was long and that the clan would have to discuss it more. Unexpectedly, the reply to the letter arrived on New Year's Eve.

Duan Zhihuai himself was very interested in studying abroad, and another brother of the same age in his clan also wanted to travel together as a companion. As soon as they made a plan, they decided to set off after the Lantern Festival.

I just have to watch as I walk and slowly head north. During this period, I will send letters to Beijing to let the government know about their situation.

Xiao Duan said and showed Lin Yunyan the reply letter.

"Well, this is what Zhihuai wrote. The handwriting is so good, and he must have a good temper."

Lin Yunyan burst out laughing when she heard it: "Don't worry about the Yuanyang score I ordered. When the time comes, Third Sister will definitely appreciate it."

Little Duan smiled and spat: "How can any girl watch randomly? I have to watch first!"

"How can you look down on your natal grandnephew?" Lin Yunyan teased her.

Grandparents and grandson enjoy themselves happily.

Lin Yunyan accompanied me and talked a lot, laughing and thinking at the same time.

The eldest sister and the third sister can marry happily, and when the two younger brothers also become close friends in the future, everything in the family will go smoothly. But if they want to live a good life, they must not go to the step of expropriating their titles and confiscating their homes.

Li Shao cannot be allowed to resurrect, and the people behind the scenes cannot be allowed to act recklessly.

After talking about home affairs, it is inevitable to talk about the court.

Xiao Duan said in a low voice: "Deposing the crown prince is a big deal, and our subordinates don't know what kind of attitude we should take.

I asked your father, and he said that it won't bother us for the time being, but we need to be more cautious.

You see, we didn’t set off many firecrackers this year. We live next to each other and had a very good relationship with Enrong Bo Mansion, so we have to worry about their feelings no matter what. "

Lin Yunyan nodded.

Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.

She was looking for Li Shao's troubles and had no complaints about the Enrong residence.

Growing up, the relationship between the neighbors was harmonious, and the old lady and the uncle treated her affectionately.

As Xiao Duan talked, he returned to Xu Jian.

"I actually thought that it would be good to expose everything," she sighed, "I have kept it a secret for several years, and there is no accurate explanation of how the Duke was injured, and there are even some bad rumors.

He didn't get any credit for his achievements and caused a lot of gossip, but now his reputation has been cleared up.

He was injured while trying to save His Highness. This was clearly meritorious service.

From now on, no one can say that he only has a title but no merit.

If it's his, he should take it. "

Lin Yunyan felt warm in her heart.

Her family felt sorry for her family. When she knew the inside story before, why didn't she feel aggrieved for Xu Jian?

"How is his leg injury going?" Little Duan asked again, "I just saw him coming over to talk, and he was walking quite steadily."

"We only let him walk a few steps," Lin Yunyan said. "In the mansion, there are chariots and soft sedans. After all, it's cold and it's always good to take more rest. Everything is getting better, but we may have to wait until the weather gets warmer. We will go to court later."

Xiao Duan nodded: "You have to listen to the doctor."

In the other room, in the study, Xu Jian and Lin Yu were talking.

"You mean, Dingguo Temple might not have been an accident at that time?" Lin Yu frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "Dingguo Temple burned so badly. In addition to the lack of fire-fighting manpower, there are other reasons.

It happened to be autumn, the weather was dry, and the oil inventory in the temple was relatively high.

This point was actually raised back then. The temple was very meticulous in purchasing and purchasing. It was originally a royal temple and had always had a lot of materials. Just in time to pray for the late emperor, another batch was added and lights were lit day and night. Theoretically speaking, It makes sense. "

If that doesn't make sense, because His Majesty was serious about Dingguo Temple, he would not let go of this issue back then.

I can't help it, just because it makes sense.

Lin Yu added: "But if we look at it as 'not an accident', it seems that those things can be closer to the doubts. But whether the doubts can be turned into evidence depends on the harvest later."

Xu Jian thought for a while: "If His Highness can recall something..."

"His Highness acted out of line, but he was not really stupid and ignorant," Lin Yu analyzed. "If it really had nothing to do with him, he would tell it and have a direction for investigation.

But if it really has something to do with him, he won't say it easily.

Besides, he was only four years old at the time. "

"I understand what my father-in-law thinks. Even if something happens to a four-year-old child,..." Xu Jian thought for a while and then said, "It's just that we are not trying to decide right or wrong. The only person in charge of this case is still Your Majesty."

The key lies in how the Holy One sees it.

The Holy One thought Li Shao was wrong, and that would be a good thing for Xu Jian and the others.

The Holy Spirit believed that Li Shao was not wrong, and that Li Shao was afraid of other things, so his experience that night might help them catch the person behind the scenes.

No matter which result, it is a big step forward.

Lin Yu thought for a while and then said: "I didn't ask you before, who do you think can inherit the throne after His Highness is unable to succeed? Who can sit on that chair and make the Xu and Lin families live smoothly?"

Xu Jian held the tea cup and did not answer immediately.

"It's hard to answer," Lin Yue spoke first, "I can't find an answer, but this is something we must understand."

"You are right." Xu Jian nodded.

"As for Your Highness," Lin Yu sighed softly, "it's not feasible to go to Dingguo Temple. There are other places in Beijing that you can consider."

Xu Jian humbly asked for advice.

"The Holy Master's Qianfu." Lin Yu whispered.

"It's not too difficult to persuade His Majesty to let His Highness go back to Qian Mansion. You can do it, or I can do it." Lin Yu rubbed his fingertips, "The only problem is that burning down Qian Mansion will easily burn us all. Inside.”

Xu Jian frowned and began to think deeply.

Seeing this, Lin Yu patted his shoulder and said: "I'm not in a hurry. I want to set fire to Qian Mansion. I must hit it with one hit, or else I have to find a way to escape. If there is a chance, I will finally Then try again, Your Highness." (End of Chapter)
