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

He Lan Minzhi walked out of the desk, clapped his hands, and smiled at Li Changxiao:

"The prince is worthy of being a filial son and a virtuous grandson. Even I, an outsider, feel ashamed. In this case, this young master..."

"Shut up!!" Two voices, a man and a woman, sounded at the same time.

The person who interrupted He Lan Minzhi was not only Li Lingyue, but also Li Changxiao.

Li Lingyue stopped He Lan Minzhi because she naturally didn't want him to get involved. After all, it concerned King Yu. Once he was involved, Li Zhi wouldn't be able to protect him.

That's why she interrupted him without hesitation.

Li Changxiao interrupted He Lan Minzhi because he didn't want him to ruin his good deeds!

He had already learned from Kang Shun that there was a mysterious organization standing behind He Lanmin. This organization monitored every move of all the Li clan kings. Unless they rebelled, this organization would not pose any threat to him, but the problem Yes, all the control of his family is in the hands of this organization, so even King Yu is afraid of him. This can also explain why He Lan Minzhi clearly beat Li Changxiao, but he could still stay in Luoyang City openly.

Of course, what King Yu didn't dare to do didn't mean that Li Changxiao didn't dare to do it. According to his plan, after Li Lingyue was dealt with, he would then find a way to get rid of He Lan Minzhi. As long as no evidence was left, no one could do anything to him.

But now is not the time to show off, so Li Changxiao had to suppress his anger and explained with a smile:

"Today is a family matter in my palace, Mr. Helan, it is best not to interfere!"

"What the prince said is absolutely true!!" Li Lingyue echoed: "Since Taiping Temple is implicated, it is also an internal matter of the Taoist temple, so I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Helan!"

After saying that, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. In order to find this cousin, I had the same opinion with Li Changxiao for the first time!

Before He Lan Minzhi could interrupt, Li Lingyue turned to look at Lingyun and asked in a deep voice:

"Lingyun, raise your head, Pindao will ask you one last time, are you sure it was Pindao who instructed you to poison Prince Yu's tea?"

Lingyun looked flustered and never dared to look at Li Lingyue. Faced with the question, he just repeated mechanically:

"The princess ordered me to poison! I don't know anything!"

After receiving a definite answer, Li Lingyue was inevitably a little disappointed, while Li Changxiao secretly rejoiced and immediately stood up and scolded loudly:

"Princess, what do you have to say now? As a descendant of the Li family, your heart is so vicious that you even dare to murder your prince. You are so arrogant and in vain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Lingyue was basically convicted.

He Shan kicked over the desk in front of Wen Deju and stood up again to fight back at Li Changxiao:

"Fuck your mother's bitch, I think you are a bastard, worse than a beast. Isn't it possible that Prince Yu's serious illness was caused by you on purpose?"

As soon as He Shan started scolding, several officials immediately stood up to defend Li Changxiao.

"This is unreasonable, Captain He! If you dare to insult the prince, I will definitely report it to the court and punish you for the crime of disrespect!" a local official scolded.

"Not only is it disrespectful, He Duwei dares to offend me and insult the royal family. He is guilty of a heinous crime!" Another scholar stroked his beard and echoed.

He Shan strode up to the great scholar, stretched his neck forward, patted the back of his neck, and said with great arrogance:

"Come! Come! Come! If you dare to kill me now, do you think I'm scared?"

The great scholar shrank back, fearing that He Shan would do something violent, so he pretended to be dignified and said:

"I won't argue with a warrior like you, lest I lose my identity!"

He Shan slapped Daru in the face unceremoniously. The latter was slapped to the ground and fainted.

He Shan rubbed his wrist, spat at the scholar, and cursed:

"Grandma, you dare to show your identity in front of me, and you don't know what you are. In addition to being the captain of Zhechong Mansion, I am also an inspector appointed by His Majesty. If you scold me, you are scolding the current emperor. Even beating you will count. light!"

"Captain He, how dare you beat Cui Xuezheng of White Horse Academy? I will report it to the court and punish you for treason!"

"Yes, Cui Xuezheng is a great scholar in the literary world of Dongdu. How can I let you, a warrior, humiliate you? If you don't apologize to Xuezheng today, don't even think about leaving the palace."

"Yes, apologize! Apologize immediately!"

He Shan took the lead in making a fuss, and the entire hall suddenly became a mess. Everyone pointed their fingers at him, but ignored the master Li Changxiao.

Li Lingyue looked at He Shan, feeling amused and touched at the same time. This rough and arrogant uncle seemed to be short-tempered, but in fact he was rough and rude. He deliberately acted reckless and rude, but in fact he was messing with Li Changxiao's plan. She is in trouble and comes to the rescue!

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Li Changxiao walked to the case in two steps, couldn't help but pick up a tea cup and smashed it on the ground!

A second ago, it was the hall of the vegetable market. When the prince saw his anger, it became mostly quiet in an instant.

Li Changxiao bowed his hands to everyone with a pale face: "Everyone, today is about my father's safety. Please give Xiao Wang some face. The most urgent task is to find the antidote and save my father's life!"

Who dares not to give face to Prince Yu's Mansion? The originally agitated guests calmed down and focused on Li Lingyue again. Seeing this scene, Li Lingyue had a new understanding of Li Changxiao. She did not expect that this arrogant and domineering Uncle Wang would also know how to tolerate it. It seemed that she had underestimated him before.

In the current situation, she was accused by her fellow Taoists as the murderer, and she was already in a passive position. No matter how hard she denied it, no one would believe it, so she simply coughed lightly and stood up to confront Li Changxiao openly.

"Since the county king is determined to believe that Pindao is the murderer, it doesn't matter, Pindao is too lazy to hide it anymore!" After saying that, he hugged his fists towards the guests and admitted generously:

"That's right! King Yu was indeed poisoned. The poisoner is indeed a disciple of my Taoist temple, and he was instructed by Pindao!"

When these words are spoken, it is equivalent to personally admitting the guilt of murdering King Yu. Even if Li Lingyue wears the aura of 'princess', according to Tang law, poisoning the clan elders is a serious crime of beheading. Once it spreads, it will be considered a serious crime. Even if Empress Wu came forward in person, she might not be able to save her.

Everyone, including Yu Zhenzi, was shocked by these words. Even Li Changxiao, who wanted to kill Li Lingyue, looked at her in disbelief, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

In Li Changxiao's view, Li Lingyue would try his best to defend himself no matter what. He even arranged for other witnesses and physical evidence in advance in order to give Li Lingyue a fatal blow at the critical moment.

As a result... I had just made a move, but the other party didn't even bother to refute, and just admitted it so openly. This is really puzzling.

Li Lingyue quickly waved her hands to He Shan and He Lan Minzhi to stop them from talking, and then continued to say to Li Changxiao:

"I have heard for a long time that the virtue of "benevolence and filial piety" of the county prince has been spread to the Eastern Capital. Pindao didn't believe it before, but when he saw it today, he was amazed! Since the King of Yu was harmed by our Taoist temple, Pindao certainly has the antidote here, but he just didn't know that the prince In order to save King Yu, are you willing to give me another great gift of kneeling down and kowtowing three times?"

With a "boom", the guests in the hall were furious again. This time, they were angered by Li Lingyue's words.

"Have you rebelled? Does this princess still want to show her face? She poisoned and murdered Prince Yu. Now that the scandal has been revealed, she refuses to repent and forces her uncle Wang to kneel to her. How can there be such a vicious woman in the world!"

"We, the Tang Dynasty, govern the country with filial piety. What the princess did is outrageous to both humans and gods. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate it!"

"As expected, like mother, like daughter. Now it seems that just like the rumors, "keeping filial piety for the mother" is just a cover for the mother and daughter to "fight for power"!"

"Brother Wang, be careful. You and I can just say this in private, and don't let outsiders hear it, lest disaster comes from your mouth!"

"..."

From Li Lingyue's words, He Lan Minzhi tasted something different. He relaxed a little and sat back in front of the case. He poured himself a cup of tea and waited to see what his cousin would do next. performance.

Li Changxiao clenched his fists, wanting to rush forward and strangle Li Lingyue to death on the spot. He had already knelt down to Li Lingyue once, and now that the other party made a request again, he felt that this was a deliberate humiliation of him.

But the image of a "filial son" that he had worked so hard to establish cannot be rejected by him, otherwise the inconsistent changes will definitely arouse suspicion. Then he thought about it, since the other party has already done it anyway, so why not let her take one step!

"Hmph! Little bitch, wait until I send you to prison first, then see how I kill you!"

Li Changxiao cursed bitterly in his heart, and then pretended to be surprised and said:

"As long as my niece can save my father, let alone kneel down, she will do whatever it takes to kill Uncle Wang!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth, lifted up his robe, and knelt down respectfully towards Li Lingyue!

"Prince, no!"

"Prince, how can you kneel to an unfaithful and unfilial junior!"

"The filial piety of the county prince is comparable to that of Emperor Yao, and we are ashamed of ourselves!"

Li Changxiao's act of kneeling made all the guests present beat their chests and stamp their feet with grief!

Li Lingyue, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, standing straight in front of Li Changxiao, with her hands behind her back, and generously accepted his kneeling and three bows!

After Li Changxiao finished the ceremony, Li Lingyue pretended to raise his arm and said comfortingly:

"Oh, please get up quickly, the prince. I am just joking with you. Why do you take it seriously?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were more than a dozen "Pfft!" sounds in the hall, and the guests who were drinking tea immediately performed the stunt of spraying tea from their nostrils due to Li Lingyue's "joke".

joke? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?

Realizing that he was being teased in public, Li Changxiao's expression suddenly changed. He took off his disguise and asked in a gloomy tone:

"I say this for the last time, please hand over the antidote immediately, otherwise..."

Li Lingyue stretched out her hand to interrupt Li Changxiao's threat, then turned to look at Yu Zhenzi who was drinking tea, and helped relay Li Changxiao's words:

"Senior Brother Yu Zhenzi, the prince wants an antidote for our Tiandao Sect! Give it to me, right? You have an idea!"

In an instant, Yuzhenzi felt that her whole body was numb. She was holding the teacup, neither drinking nor putting it down...
