After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 176 Going to the meeting alone

In the Taiping Temple, Li Lingyue, who had had breakfast, did not go back to the house to catch up on her sleep. Instead, she ordered someone to move a bed and set it up in the yard, and she lay on it leisurely and basked in the sun.

The winter sunshine was warm and genial. Li Lingyue was lying on the bed, eating broad beans and having her legs rubbed by Gong'er, living a leisurely life like a landowner's young mistress.

After expelling Yu Zhenzi from the Taoist temple, Li Lingyue turned into a serf and became the real master of Taiping Temple. In addition, she was the master of the temple, so no one could restrain her, so she completely let herself go.

I don't know how long it took, but Gong'er's shout came to Li Lingyue's ears:

"Princess, wake up! Princess!"

Li Lingyue slowly opened her eyes, and then realized that she had fallen asleep while lying down! She sat up and huffed lazily.

"Stinky girl, why did you wake me up?"

Gong'er quickly reported: "Princess, there is a guest who wants to see you!"

As he said that, he pointed at the end of the bed two meters away. Li Lingyue looked in the direction of the finger and was almost startled.

I saw a thin old man wearing a broad-sleeved robe and a green bun, standing happily beside his bed. Looking at his face, he looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Before Li Lingyue could speak, the old man took a step forward and clasped his fists in his hands: "Kang Shun, the chief steward of Prince Yu's Mansion, pays homage to the princess!"

Although he said he was paying homage, the old man had no intention of kneeling down. Instead, he leaned forward slightly and bent over symbolically, fully embodying the "arrogant and domineering" temperament of Prince Yu's palace.

Upon hearing the words "Prince Yu's Mansion", Li Lingyue became alert. After taking a closer look, she realized that this person was the butler beside Prince Yu Li Fengyang.

She basically didn't like anyone who was from Prince Yu's palace, so she waved to Gong'er without hesitation.

"Gong'er, see you off, please remember, from now on, no cats or dogs from Prince Yu's palace are allowed to step into Taiping Temple, lest they pollute my place of cultivating immortals!"

The smile on Kang Shun's face twitched, but it quickly returned to its original appearance. Faced with Li Lingyue's ridicule, Kang Shun was very tolerant and calmly took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Gong'er said with a smile:

"Hahaha, I don't need to worry about the princess seeing you off. The old slave is here this time just to send an invitation to the prince to invite the princess to visit the palace at noon!"

Li Lingyue was slightly surprised. Although she didn't understand the intention of Prince Li Changxiao, she still sarcastically said:

"Has your prince's head been kicked by a donkey? This princess is now a monk, and she is observing mourning on behalf of her mother. She is not allowed to participate in any banquets during her mourning period!"

When Kang Shun heard Li Lingyue insulting the prince, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said in a nonchalant manner:

"Princess has misunderstood. The king invited the princess to come to the house not for a banquet, but because King Yu was seriously ill. The princess is the niece and granddaughter of King Yu. Due to emotional reasons, she should come over to visit. Otherwise, it will be easy to follow the truth! "

With a "Pfft" sound, Li Lingyue was immediately amused. She curled her lips and mocked wantonly:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, King Yu is seriously ill, so hurry up and find the doctor! If it doesn't work, let his good eldest son, the prince, perform his filial piety at the bedside, and come to see this temple master for what? This temple master is not a coffin shop! Besides, Well, the master of this temple is not a princess now, so what do the common people and things outside have to do with me?"

Li Lingyue's words with a gun and a stick made the wrinkles on Kang Shun's face look like rippling waves. He was really speechless. This princess was not only sharp-tongued, but she also hurt others without using any curse words!

What's more important is that her identity changed so quickly. At first she kept calling herself 'my princess', but when it came to business, she called herself 'my master'. This shameless behavior is unparalleled!

"Haha, the princess doesn't dare to go, is it because she is worried that she will never come back?" Kangshun didn't hide his shame, and directly showed his cards face to face.

Li Lingyue was stunned for a moment. She did have safety concerns. King Yu sent hundreds of dead soldiers to take her life. Now that Li Changxiao has the final say in Prince Yu's palace, it becomes even more lawless. If she goes to the enemy's territory, Isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Only a fool would attend this Hongmen Banquet. But now that Kang Shun had taken the initiative to propose it, Li Lingyue felt that she might have been too suspicious, and that things might not be as simple as imagined.

At this time, I heard Kang Shun say: "The princess doesn't know something. If my county king really wanted to do harm to the princess, why would he arrange to meet at noon? Moreover, not only the princess was invited, but also all the officials and celebrities in Luoyang City. Even if we wanted to harm the princess, we would not be so blatant. On the contrary, we are more worried about the princess having an accident in Prince Yu’s Mansion. After all, we, Prince Yu’s Mansion, cannot afford to be charged with murdering the royal heirs. Besides..."

"Stop it!" Li Lingyue interrupted Kang Shun impatiently: "Whether you are hosting a Hongmen Banquet or not, even if you talk about breaking the sky, my aunt is not interested. Please come back!"

Seeing Li Lingyue's decisive attitude, Kang Shun was not discouraged, but followed Li Lingyue's words and threatened:

"Since the princess is not interested in attending the banquet, then the young master of the Helan family, I believe the princess must be interested!!"

Li Lingyue frowned and asked coldly: "What did you do to my cousin?"

Kang Shun waved his hand and replied very politely: "Princess, don't worry, my prince just invited him to visit his house for two days. As long as the princess goes to accompany him, I believe that Mr. Helan will be safe and sound!"

By this time, Kang Shun's threatening tone was clearly visible.

However, the next second, Li Lingyue moved. She flew up from the bed like a sharp arrow from the string, kicked Kang Shun on the chest, kicked the old guy to the ground, and rolled on the spot. Several laps.

Kang Shun, who was originally so proud, never thought that the princess in front of him would act so unconventionally, and take action as soon as she was told, with a sudden kick that almost killed half of his life.

"How dare you..."

"Bang!" Before Kang Shun on the ground could curse, Li Lingyue's foot had already stepped on his head, pinning him to the ground and making him unable to move.

"Go back and tell Li Changxiao, if he dares to lay a finger on my cousin, I will demolish his Prince Yu's Mansion!"

"Princess... have mercy on me, old slave... remember!" Kang Shun, who was lying on the ground, gasped and begged for mercy.

"roll!"

Li Lingyue kicked her hard, and then ordered Gong'er behind her, who was pale with fright: "Go! Prepare a carriage!"

After saying that, Li Lingyue turned around and returned to the house.

Not long after, Li Lingyue came out of the room. She changed into a Taoist robe and wore a green gauze hat on her head. She drove the carriage alone in the direction of Prince Yu's Mansion.

She didn't let Gong'er accompany her. Firstly, she was worried that Li Changxiao was really unfavorable to her and would affect this little girl. Secondly, she was eager to save people and didn't want another burden around her.

It was half an hour's journey from Taiping Temple to Prince Yu's Mansion, and Li Lingyue was extremely anxious.

She knew in her heart that after King Yu Li Fengyang became seriously ill, Prince Yu's palace became Li Changxiao's personal hall. If this lunatic really wanted to seek revenge regardless of the consequences, then He Lanmin's situation would be quite dangerous.

But right now, she, the princess, is probably the only one who can save her cousin!

So even though she knew it was the Hongmen Banquet, she had no choice but to brave it.
