My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Wu Qinghui sat on the sedan chair, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly in her hands, feeling extremely nervous.

Arriving at the entrance of the hall where Li Longji was, she took a short rest. Just as she was about to go in, a bad guy suddenly ran by her and rushed into the hall before her.

She thought he was here to inform Monk Mingwu that he had found the monk, so she followed him in.

"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?" Li Longji raised his eyes slightly and looked at the bad guy.

"Your Majesty, Monk Mingwu was assassinated!" the Bad Man said at this time.

Li Longji wanted to continue reviewing the memorials, but at this moment, the pen in his hand stopped in mid-air. He frowned and said, "Dead? When did he die? Has the Dali Temple checked?"

The bad man replied: "Your Majesty, the man died in the Dali Temple!"

"what!"

Li Longji slammed the table in anger, and Wu Qinghui felt relieved at this moment, and her previous tension instantly dissipated. But soon, Wu Qinghui began to doubt——

Who killed monk Mingwu?

"Who did it? Do you know?"

"Your Majesty, it was done by a constable from the Dali Temple, and he has been detained now." The Bad Man replied, "Monk Mingwu was killed before he was sent to the prison. Our preliminary judgment is that the constable must be a spy planted in the Dali Temple."

"How dare you! You actually bribed the Dali Temple's constables!" Li Longji was a little incredulous, then waved his sleeves and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I will go and see for myself! Who is so bold as to kill the person I want to arrest!"

After saying that, he walked away from the desk. He was furious at this moment, and suddenly saw Wu Qinghui standing at the door in a somewhat "submissive" manner. The emperor frowned slightly and asked:

"Empress Hui? Why are you here?"

Wu Qinghui quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I was just feeling bored, so I came to see you to see if there is anything I can do to help you, even if it's just serving tea or water."

Hearing this, Li Longji's anger subsided a lot, and he said, "You are thoughtful."

"But I have some important things to do now, so I can't ask you to serve me. You go back and have a rest. I will come to your place for dinner in the evening." Li Longji smiled reluctantly and left.

Wu Qinghui stood there and watched Li Longji leave. The person who posed a great threat to her died, but she could not smile. Was it because everything was beyond her control?

She frowned and thought for a long time.

......

Li Longji came to the Dali Temple at this time, looked at Hu Gui with a sad face, and said, "Mr. Hu?"

Hu Gui was stunned for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"I heard that the monk Mingwu who was just captured today died before he was sent to the prison? Is this true?" Li Longji asked at this time.

"Your Majesty, that's true." Hu Gui nodded and replied.

"Where is the man who killed the monk? Where is he?" Li Longji walked in and asked.

Hu Gui hurriedly followed, saying as he walked: "Your Majesty, the man has been sent to the torture chamber and is being interrogated."

Afterwards, two constables followed Li Longji to protect him. When they arrived at the cell, the "constable"'s clothes had been torn by the whip, but it seemed that nothing had been found out from the interrogation.

Li Longji frowned slightly and asked, "What was the situation at that time? How did he kill someone in the Dali Temple? Tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, the monk Mingwu was sent here by Marquis Dingkang," Hu Gui said. "After he was sent here, he said that this person was very important and needed to be locked up in Tianzi Prison until Your Majesty came."

"As a result, before Your Majesty arrived, on the way to Tianzi Prison, one of the constables in charge of escorting the prisoner suddenly attacked Monk Mingwu on the way. When another constable found him, it was too late to save him."

Li Longji frowned slightly and asked, "Was this person sent by Marquis Dingkang?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was delivered to me personally by Marquis Dingkang." Hu Gui nodded.

"How did he know that I wanted to arrest him?"

Hu Gui quickly explained, "Your Majesty, it was you who posted the wanted order, and Marquis Dingkang has a wide network of contacts, so I didn't think much about it."

Li Longji nodded. This monk was a wanted criminal. It was probably because Chang An was afraid that he would endanger his family, so he arrested him. So, with this idea in mind, he did not doubt it further.

"And then? Did the prisoner say anything?"

Hu Gui shook his head and replied, "He said nothing until your Majesty came."

"Then investigate and find out how he entered the Dali Temple, and then follow up. I don't believe it, do I need him to say it himself?" Li Longji said.

......

Chang An and Gu Li walked into Zuiyun Tower with their child. The waiter, who was familiar with them as usual, followed them and said enthusiastically, "Meet the Duke Kangguo and the Duke Kangguo's wife."

"You two should stay in your old seats. The shopkeeper has made all the arrangements for you two."

"Okay, trouble."

Chang An nodded with a smile, and then walked in. The old seat that the waiter mentioned was naturally the middle seat in the first row facing the stage. Probably since Chang An was conferred the title of Marquis, this seat had always been arranged by the shopkeeper for Chang An and his wife.

On ordinary days, when the two of them don't come, this seat can be given to whoever they want, but as long as the two of them come, then this seat must be theirs.

After sitting down, Gu Li began to tell the two little ones to be quiet here and not to make noise. At this time, Chang An asked Huaiqin and Zhener to buy some snacks.

At this time, Xiaoguai was sitting quietly in Chang'an's arms, looking around with his big eyes; but Erguai was restless, and raised his hand to play with Gu Li, but was held down by Gu Li.

"Little Guai, stop making noises. You are not allowed to play here." Gu Li said gently, "If you don't let your mother hold you obediently, someone will kick you out soon."

Erguai shook his head and said, "Then I won't play anymore."

Although he likes to make trouble, he is also very obedient, which saves Gu Li a lot of worries.

But at this moment, Gu Li suddenly felt someone moving her legs. She looked over with some confusion and found a child about four or five years old standing in front of her.

Just when Gu Li was about to speak in confusion, the child spoke first:

"Get out of here! This is my place!"

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Chang An beside him, and the other party was also a little confused.

"Go away! This is my seat! You can't sit here!"

The child imitated the adults, with his hands on his hips, as if he had a high status? It seemed that he was dressed better.

"I'm sorry, young man, this is our seat, which was reserved yesterday." Chang An said at this time.

"I don't care! This is my seat! I sit here every time I come here!" Not only did the child not leave, but he raised his hand even more presumptuously and pointed at Gu Li.

Chang An narrowed his eyes slightly, then stood up, stood in front of Gu Li, and said softly: "Mother Gu, please sit over there. I'll come here."

Gu Li nodded blankly, stood up and sat in Chang An's seat, while Chang An sat in front of the child. He asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. You don't deserve it!"

After hearing this, Chang An wanted to know who the child's parents were so that he could educate them in front of them. But as a civilized person, he felt that he still needed to stay calm.

"Don't misunderstand, young man. This seat needs to be reserved. Once we reserve it, it will be ours." Gu Li still wanted to communicate with the child patiently, but Chang An raised his hand and stopped her from continuing to speak.

The more you explain at this time, the more arrogant this little brat will become.

But at this moment, he never expected that the child actually started to kick him, and quite hard. While kicking, he said: "Get away! This is my place!"

"Cover Erguai's eyes." Chang An followed Gu Li's words in a low voice, while covering the eyes of Xiaoguai in his arms.

Then there was a crisp "pop" sound, and then the sound of something falling to the ground. Gu Li was shocked. She looked at Chang An in surprise. The other party had no expression at this time, just looking at the child.

The child realized belatedly that he had been slapped. His face felt burning with pain. His eyes became wet at first, and then he burst into tears.

The few guests were frightened and all looked over.

The two little ones were finally freed from their tears. Xiaoguai, who was sitting in Chang'an's arms, was the most confused. She tugged at Chang'an with her little hand and asked softly, "Aye, why is he crying?"

"I don't know. I guess I fell down by myself." Chang An said with a smile, as if the slap just now was fake.

At this time, two maids came over, helped the kid up from the ground, and brushed off the dust on him. Then a man came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Prince was beaten." said the maid.

"Being beaten? Who dares!" The man was Ning Wang Li Xian, and the child who was still crying should be the little prince Li Qing.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xian saw Chang An sitting beside him coaxing the child. He was stunned for a moment. Then he said, "Duke Kangguo?"

"I've met Prince Ning."

Chang An raised his head, smiled and nodded in greeting.

Li Xian saw that he did not salute, and he had nothing to say. After all, he did not need to salute when he saw the emperor, so how could he dare to do so? He now understood what was going on, and guessed that Li Qing had offended the person next to him.

"I was talking to someone outside just now and didn't pay attention to what's happening here. I wonder if Duke Kangguo could tell us about it?" Li Xian said politely.

"My wife was sitting in my current position and this prince suddenly came over to offend me, saying that this was his position. Not only that, but even now I am sitting here and he kicked me a few times. I wanted to teach him a lesson..."

"But he suddenly fell down by himself."
