Adhere to the gentleman's principles

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Luozhong was playing with birds in the courtyard. An attendant came up and whispered in Wang Luozhong's ear: "Master, Princess Fengling has already started investigating the murders in the past few days! Us?" Wang Luozhong said after hearing this: "It seems that Zhao Junning knows something! You don't need to intervene, just keep an eye on it!" "Yes!"

Zhao Junning and Zhao Junhan came to the autopsy room together, followed by Gancao, Fuling and a few soldiers. Zhao Junning took out the prince's order. The servants who were guarding the body saw that it was the prince's order and did not dare to stop them. The two of them went in to check the body easily. At this time, Li Ziyan entered from the back window. Zhao Junhan saw Li Ziyan was about to step forward and said, "Why is Li the young Marquis not here to serve as a substitute in the general's mansion?" As he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Zhao Junning and said, "My brother, my brother, we are one of us. He came here to check the body just like us. He is not a bad person!" Zhao Junhan was relieved. Zhao Junning took out a bottle and a few butterflies flew out of it. Zhao Junning said, "My brother, close the door and window!"

Zhao Junhan ran to close the doors and windows quickly. A butterfly fluttered and flew to the bottom of Liu Yu's body. Zhao Junning followed the butterfly and squatted down to see three bouquets of flowers. Zhao Junning took out the three bouquets of flowers, smelled them closely, and looked at them carefully and said, "No wonder there is a strange fragrance in this room. It turns out that they are Dingluo flowers from the Northern Mongolian people!" Zhao Junhan asked, "Dingluo flowers? How come I have never heard of this kind of flower?"

Zhao Junning said: "This flower was developed by wizards from Northern Mongolia. It can cover up the stench of corpses! However, this flower is extremely rare and precious. I have also seen it in my master's pharmacopoeia. The murderer killed so many people, but he only placed three bunches under Liu Yu's body!" Li Ziyan said: "Then the murderer is either one of us Bian people who bought Dingluo flowers in a covert way, or someone from Northern Mongolia sneaked into Bian to kill people!"

Zhao Junning looked at Li Ziyan, thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that your master's death was the same as Liu Yu's? Then the murderer should be the same and very good at using poison. However, the family that is best at using poison in the world is the Jiang family in Pingzhou City! Could it be them? Impossible! The Jiang family makes poisons, but they won't assassinate court officials." At this time, the white cloth on Liu Yu's abdomen was squirming. Li Ziyan lifted the white cloth and what the three of them saw were several corpse worms on Liu Yu's abdomen! Zhao Junning quickly pulled out the silver needle and inserted it into the abdomen. The silver needle did not change color, and the corpse worms became more and more! Gradually, they were all over his head! Zhao Junning's powder didn't work. The corpse worms kept eating Liu Yu's body as if they were controlled! Zhao Junning had no choice but to shout, "Someone come!"

The servants outside entered one after another and were shocked to see this scene. Zhao Junning said, "Hurry up and take them out and burn them!" Then he looked at the corpses around him and saw that they were still unaffected, and shouted, "Licorice and Poria cocos!"

The two walked in quickly, and Zhao Junning said, "Let someone carry these remaining bodies to the ice room in Taihe Building!" Gancao then shouted outside, "Come in and carry these bodies to Taihe Building!"

Licorice and Poria followed the soldiers to Taihe Building! Zhao Junning finally caught his breath! Zhao Junhan said, "We can only find clues from those bodies! Liu Yu has too many secrets. The murderer will just destroy the body!" Zhao Junning nodded and said, "That's the only way!" The three of them walked out of the morgue! Zhao Junhan looked at the two and said, "I'll go back first!" Zhao Junning said, "Brother Wang, take care!"

Li Ziyan looked at Zhao Junning and said, "I didn't expect that after knowing you for so long, I only now know that you are the Princess Fengling of my Bian State." Zhao Junning smiled and said, "It's the same for you. Aren't you also the general of my Bian State? Li Ziyan, who is acting for your uncle Li Xiang." Then he took out a token from his sleeve and said, "Wow, it turns out that the general of Bian State is the Bloody Hand King of Hell!" Li Ziyan was shocked when his token got into Zhao Junning's hands!

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Don't think about it. I'll give it back to you! Have you forgotten that I have a master, Red Eyebrow Immortal? When I was a child, I secretly learned this trick of picking flowers from him!" Li Ziyan took the token and turned to leave, saying, "It's so rude for a princess to act like a man! Not reserved at all!"

Zhao Junning was shocked and looked at Li Ziyan with eyes wide open and said, "How am I rude? Stop right there!" Zhao Junning shouted at Li Ziyan but he didn't turn around. Zhao Junning chased him and said angrily, "You look serious but you are actually a playboy! You said I was rude! You are the rude one, you reckless man! I don't want to talk to you anymore. Humph!"

She felt comfortable scolding him, so she threw her hair on her chest to her back, bumped into Li Ziyan and left! Li Ziyan patted her shoulder in disdain and said, "Tsk! Who wants to pay attention to you?" He turned and left.

After placing the corpse, Gancao and Fuling returned to the Prince's Mansion. Seeing Zhao Junning returning angrily, Zhao Junning asked them before they had time to greet him, "You two are looking at me. Am I rude? Am I not dignified and elegant enough? Am I not reserved and decent enough?"

As he spoke, he put his hands on his waist and looked at each other angrily. Licorice and Fuling looked at each other, and finally Fuling said, "No, no, Princess, you are both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, quiet and decent, you are the lady among the ladies! Phew~"

After saying that, he didn't forget to let out a sigh of relief. Zhao Junning was naturally happy to hear that and smiled. But after thinking for a while, he said, "You two should tell the truth!" Gancao then bravely said, "Princess, sometimes you are really... really..."

Licorice stuttered and dared not continue, Fuling whispered: "Very rude!" Then he said: "But but that's because you can't just stand still when fighting, right! Our princess is special! Yes, special!" Zhao Junning felt a little sad after hearing this, but she finally figured it out and said: "Do you two know what it means to be dignified, elegant and decent? What does it mean to be a lady from a noble family?"

Licorice and Poria thought for a while and said, "Princess, you can think about how the Crown Princess usually looks like! That's what a lady from a noble family looks like!" Zhao Junning thought about how her mother usually looks like and said, "Then I..."

Gancao said, "Princess, don't be discouraged. I heard from the eunuchs in the mansion that the Crown Princess was the same as you when she was young. After she married into the Crown Prince's mansion, the Crown Prince doted on you, and you gradually became gentle and virtuous! You can do it!" Then Fuling put down Zhao Junning's hands from her waist and said, "First of all, you have to change your standing posture!" Zhao Junning stood still immediately after hearing this! She crossed her hands in front of her abdomen!

When the servant Mo Yu saw Li Ziyan coming back to the guest room of the inn, he came forward and asked, "General, did you find out anything today?" Li Ziyan said, "Nothing! But it should be soon!"

After sitting down, he looked inside the guest room and asked, "Where's Feizhou?" Mo Yu said, "Feizhou has returned to the Marquis' Mansion! Commander Xu can't handle the Second Madam alone, so Feizhou has gone back! But since the general can't find out anything for the time being, why don't we go back to the mansion first? The general's mansion is not far from the inn!"

Li Ziyan thought for a while and said: "You go back first! Deadpool is following me, you go back!" Mo Yu said: "But General, I am worried about you being alone outside!" Li Ziyan said: "Don't worry! I can do it alone! I feel bored after staying in the mansion for too long. It's always good to come out for some fresh air and see the outside world!" Mo Yu had no choice but to agree after hearing this!

The next day, the prince's mansion had breakfast. Zhao Junning took small steps, crossed her hands on her abdomen, and changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing a dress with tight sleeves, but a restrictive long skirt with wide sleeves! When she came to the dinner table, Zhao Nian was stunned to see her daughter so gentle and dignified! Meng Xiangning stared at Zhao Junning step by step with wide eyes! Zhao Junhao smiled and teased: "Royal sister, what's wrong with you? You are not like this on weekdays!"

Zhao Junning tried to smile at Zhao Junhao and bowed to Zhao Nian and Meng Xiangning: "I pay my respects to my father and mother!" Zhao Nian said quickly: "Get well! Come and sit down!" After Zhao Junning sat down, she exhaled and whispered: "The lady is too tired!"

Then she ate elegantly again! After breakfast, Zhao Junning returned to her room, sat on a stool, propped up her chin with both hands and said, "No, it's too frustrating. That Li Ziyan is really not a lady from a noble family! This princess is just usually more generous and generous to others! She is also very gentle at ordinary times! No, no, I can't be a lady from a noble family like my mother!"

Licorice and Poria cocos tried to persuade Zhao Junning, saying, "Forget it, let's go! I haven't been to the Imperial City's medical clinic for a long time! Let's go check it out today!"

On the streets of the Imperial City, "Meat for sale, meat for sale!" "The first ten customers to open the new store can taste the special dishes for free!"... all kinds of shops were shouting! Arriving at the Baicao Clinic, Zhao Junning walked in and saw the troublemakers bullying the clinic's employees! Licorice and Poria were about to step forward when they were stopped by Zhao Junning. The two men said, "What a shitty clinic, there's no decent doctor here. Didn't they say that the clinic was opened by a woman? Where is she?" Zhao Junning coughed and said lazily, "Ahem! Here! Are you looking for me?"

The waiter who fell to the ground saw that it was Zhao Junning and said, "Senior sister!" The two men's eyes lit up when they saw Zhao Junning and Gancao Fuling, and they said arrogantly, "It's just the three of you! Check on us!" Zhao Junning smiled faintly and walked towards the two men and said, "Okay, then you two, please take a seat!" Then he said to the other waiters and doctors, "Uncle Chen, Shuo'er, take the other patients inside!"

"Yes!" After going to the middle hall, Zhao Junning was no longer polite and said, "Licorice and Poria, close the door!" After the door was closed, Zhao Junning beat the two men with osteoporosis all over their bodies. Zhao Junning said coldly, "This is a clinic, not a place for you to show off your beastly nature! You dare to act wild here? Get out!" The two men got up and ran out! The front hall was tidy and continued to welcome guests!

Zhao Tianyin's birthday arrived! The palace was decorated very lively! Zhao Tianyin set up a banquet in Nanqin Garden! At the lively banquet, all officials presented birthday gifts, and the eunuch came running in a sissy voice: "Your Majesty, Guangping Marquis Li Yin and Guangping Marquis's wife, the second wife, and Major General Li Ziyan are here to celebrate your birthday!" Zhao Tianyin said after hearing this: "Please come in!"

Li Ziyan and his follower Mo Yu came to Nanqin Garden. Mo Yu handed the birthday gift to his father-in-law. Li Ziyan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your servant Li Ziyan pays respect to you. This is a small gift prepared by my father and I. I wish your Majesty all the best!"

Li Yin also said: "Your Majesty, I wish you a long life!" Zhao Tianyin said with a smile: "Haha, thank you very much, Li Aiqing and Major General, please stand up without formalities. Guangping Hou made great contributions in the war that year. Major General, you are a young hero and have been taking over your uncle's position for five years. It can be said that my Great Bian has been stable for a long time. You and your son have made great contributions to the prosperity of my Great Bian. There is no need to be polite. The two ladies, please stand up quickly!" Li Ziyan stood up and took a seat. The left prime minister Xu Gong and Xu Wenhe also brought birthday gifts. Xu Gong said: "This old minister greets Your Majesty and wishes my emperor a long life!"

Zhao Tianyin said, "Prime Minister Xu, please excuse yourself. Commandant Xu, please take a seat! Today is like a family dinner, so there is no need for all the formalities!" Crown Prince Zhao Nian and Meng Xiangning also came with birthday gifts: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to your father and wish him a long life as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun, and as long as the southern mountains!"

Zhao Tianyin said, "Crown Prince and Crown Princess, please stand up!" Then it was Zhao Junhao: "Grandson wishes Grandpa a long life!" Zhao Junning came to the end and danced with the dancers. Zhao Junning was very eye-catching in her red feather gauze dress. Li Ziyan also stared at Zhao Junning intently! After the dance, Zhao Junning stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Junning wishes Grandpa a long life. May our emperor live long and long!"

Then he clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa Emperor, this is a picture of the mountains and rivers of the Bian Kingdom drawn with pine and cypress juice. The pine and cypress are evergreen. Our great Bian Kingdom and our emperor are also like these pine and cypress!" Zhao Tianyin liked to laugh and said, "Hahaha, good! Good!" When Zhao Junning got up with satisfaction and sat down next to Zhao Junhao, he did not forget to glance at Li Ziyan with a smile on his face! Zhao Junhao found that Zhao Junning's eyes had not left Li Ziyan: "Ahem, Imperial Sister, please pay attention. It's not good for you to stare at me like this?" Zhao Junning approached Zhao Junhao and said, "Did I? I didn't look!"

After the banquet, Zhao Junning blocked Li Ziyan's way and looked at his entourage. Mo Yu looked at Li Ziyan and saw that he had gone somewhere else! Zhao Junning bowed to Li Ziyan and said, "You said that this princess is rude and doesn't look like a lady from a noble family! How about this princess open your eyes today! Those ladies from noble families you mentioned are too awkward! They only take a small sip of tea and only eat one of each dish superficially!" Then he looked up and down at Li Ziyan and said, "You men don't all like women like that, do you? That's too tiring! Although this princess is not as dignified, polite and gentle as those ladies from noble families you mentioned, I think I am still quite decent, am I not?"

Li Ziyan covered his mouth with his fist, coughed, bowed and said, "Princess Fengling, I was abrupt that day! I said something that made you unhappy! But what the princess said was wrong, the princess is very beautiful today!" Zhao Junning smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not that petty, and what you said makes sense! Since you are here at the palace! I know you are familiar with this palace, but I will take you to a place you must not know. How about considering it as my apology for the confusion I made a few days ago?" Before Li Ziyan could speak, Zhao Junning pulled Li Ziyan forward! When they arrived at a large garden, Zhao Junning pointed at the garden and said, "I planted these flowers! There are many varieties and they can be used as medicine, isn't it amazing?"

Then he pulled Li Ziyan under a tree and said, "Wait a minute, I'll show you the treasure!" After that, he squatted down and dug the soil with his hands. After digging for a long time, he dug out a jar! "It's out, that's it!" Zhao Junning said with a smile! He picked up the jar and wiped his face with his hands covered with mud, so that his nose and cheeks were covered with mud! Zhao Junning held the jar and turned to show Li Ziyan: "Look!" Li Ziyan took out his handkerchief and wiped the mud off Zhao Junning's face and asked, "What is this?" Zhao Junning said, "This is my wish! I buried it in the palace after taking medicine lessons from my master when I was five years old! It's full of my wishes and words I wrote when I was unhappy! It's been ten years!"

When Li Ziyan heard that Zhao Junning had been to this garden when she was young, he asked curiously, "Did the princess only come here that year?" Zhao Junning shook her head and said, "No, after burying this, I also went to the bigger garden at the back! Hehe, but it's funny to say that I also saved a boy at that time! I don't know who poked the hornet's nest on the big maple tree! It caused my master to have to raise the medicine again, but fortunately the boy is fine, otherwise my medical skills would definitely not have been able to save the boy!"

After hearing what Zhao Junning said, Li Ziyan finally smiled and thought to himself, "So that little girl is you!"

Zhao Junning saw Li Ziyan smiling and a little absent-minded and whispered, "Hey! What's wrong with you?" Li Ziyan shook his head and said, "It's okay. I wonder if the princess's jar can still hold wishes?" Zhao Junning looked at the jar in his arms and said, "Sure! Do you want to write?"

The two came to the study room. After Li Ziyan finished writing, he put the note into the jar! Zhao Junning asked curiously, "What did you write?" Li Ziyan tilted his head to look at Zhao Junning and said, "Of course, I can't tell you my wish!" Zhao Junning shrugged and said, "Just don't tell me!"
