Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

When Du He and Li Yi were having dinner, Linglong, who was standing on the side, had an expression as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Li Yi, who spent every day with Linglong, was the first to notice her abnormality, so he said something unhappily.

"You little bitch, if you have anything to say, just say it now."

"Don't suffocate yourself."

Her maid would feel uncomfortable if she didn't say anything on her mind.

Asking her to read and calm her mind, or to practice Zen meditation, is of no use at all.

Linglong glanced at Du He cautiously, then asked timidly, "Your Highness, I will tell you then?"

"Hurry up and tell me, or I won't tell you later."

"Your Highness, I will tell you right away."

Linglong waved her hands quickly, fearing that Li Yi would not tell her.

She swallowed, cleared her throat, and spoke with a mysterious expression and tone.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort, this news is about Princess Gaoyang and Prince Consort Fang Yiai. You can't tell anyone, okay?"

"Otherwise, if Princess Gaoyang knew about this, and it was Sister Taozi who told me, and I told you, Princess Gaoyang would definitely hold a grudge against me and Taozi."

"if..."

Seeing Linglong, the chatterbox, talking nonsense for a long time but not getting to the point.

Du He rolled his eyes and interrupted her quickly.

"Linglong, stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

"As long as you don't tell anyone, the princess and I won't say anything."

It's really ridiculous that a big-mouthed chatterbox also starts to give instructions to others.

Among the three of them, except Linglong who is a chatterbox and can't keep a secret, Du He and Li Yi are very tight-lipped.

"Oh, I'll tell you right away."

Linglong nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.

"Sister Taozi told me that Princess Gaoyang called her husband Fang Yiai to the Princess's Mansion yesterday, and they had a big fight for some reason."

"Fang Yiai not only did not admit his mistake to Princess Gaoyang, but he also contradicted her in public, making her cry."

"Today, the servants in Princess Gaoyang's mansion were severely punished for any mistakes they made. Even Sister Taozi was spanked by Princess Gaoyang."

"Her hand is swollen now."

Thinking of the miserable plight of her fellow villager Taozi, Linglong felt pity in her heart.

They are both maids in the princess's mansion, and they are also talkative and cannot keep secrets. The two sisters often share their feelings and all kinds of things.

If there is a chance, she will definitely let Taozi come to Princess Chengyang's mansion to serve Princess Chengyang together.

Her princess was gentle, virtuous, and good-tempered, and she would never punish them, the servants.

Du He asked in confusion: "Linglong, why did Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai quarrel?"

"I don't know. Sister Taozi didn't tell me."

Linglong said, shaking her head.

In fact, she asked several times, but Taozi just bit her lip and refused to say anything.

Sister Taozi said that if she told the truth, she would also die.

Although Linglong felt itchy in her heart, since Sister Taozi said it so seriously, she didn't ask any more questions.

Li Yi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Husband, maybe it's because of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival that your performance surpassed Fang Yiai's."

"When we were preparing for the poetry meeting, Gao Yang boasted every day that her husband had written a great poem."

"Now that you are in the limelight, Gao Yang must be unhappy."

Du He burst out laughing.

But I still have some doubts in my heart.

If it was just about the poetry gathering, the timid Fang Yiai should not have dared to talk back to Gao Yang.

"Could it be that the conflict was caused by Gao Yang's affair with Monk Bian Ji, and then Fang Yiai was asked to guard the door?"

This was the only reason Du He could think of.

Apart from a man's face and dignity, Fang Yiai, the consort of Princess Shang, would never dare to drink with Gao Yang.

While Li Yi and Linglong were talking, Du He frowned and thought.

How to use the secret affair between Gao Yang and monk Bian Ji to strike a blow to the King of Wei.

Toppling Fang Yiai would have limited impact on Li Tai, but it would offend the behemoth Fang Xuanling, Duke of Liang, which would be more trouble than gain.

After thinking for a while, Du He still had no clue.

"Hey, we still have to think about it carefully!"

Du He pinched his eyebrows and sighed.

...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the scorching heat gradually disappears and the weather becomes slightly cooler.

In the city of Chang'an, people's discussion of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival not only did not decrease, but became more frequent because the busy farming season was over.

Prince of Wei Li Tai and Minister of Works Du Chuke have become the subject of conversation among the common people.

In Hibiscus Garden.

Li Tai, along with a group of officials from the Prince of Wei's palace and scholars from the Academy of Literature, chanted poems and had fun beside the Qujiang Lake.

And they held a grand banquet to celebrate.

The scene was bustling with music and singing girls dancing.

The spy leader Wei Suan leaned over to Li Tai's ear and said, "Your Highness the King of Wei, he is coming. I asked him to wait in the secret room."

"Well, I will be there soon."

Li Tai narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

He waved to his two right-hand men, Wei Ting and Du Chuke, and said, "Wei Ting, Du Chuke, come with me. I have something to discuss with you."

After he finished speaking, Li Tai stood up and said loudly to the others: "You guys continue to eat, drink and have fun."

"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Wei."

A group of officials from the Prince of Wei's Palace and people from the Academy of Literature stood up excitedly and replied.

During their duty period, they can visit Furong Garden and eat, drink and play for free. They wish they could have this great thing every day.

A secret room in Hibiscus Garden.

Li Tai, with a serious face, walked in with his two right-hand men, Wei Ting and Du Chuke.

After the spy leader Wei Suan closed the gate, he stood guard at the gate himself.

The area within several hundred meters around the secret room was also guarded by the guards of Prince Wei's Palace, and no one was allowed to approach.

Li Tai said to the young man with his back to him, "Yin Yuhe, what do you want from me?"

Hearing the voice behind him, the young man turned around, clasped his fists and saluted towards Li Tai.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."

Yin Yuhe is feminine and handsome with thin lips. If he let his long hair down and put rouge on his face, he might be mistaken for a great beauty.

Li Tai had a look of disdain on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Just tell me what you want to say."

Yin Yuhe raised his lips and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness Prince Wei, the comments people have made about you and Minister Du in recent days have not been very good."

"Hmph! Yin Yuhe, if you are here to talk nonsense, then I will go back."

Li Tai had a bit of 'anger' on his face, and he swung his sleeves and said.

Yin Yuhe's tone returned to normal and he bowed properly towards Li Tai.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, you are now at a disadvantage in the power struggle with the Crown Prince, and I also want to restore the glory of my ancestors. This time I came here to seek refuge with you."

"It all depends on whether the King of Wei dares to take me, a member of the family remnant who participated in the King of Qi's rebellion, under his command."

Hearing that Yin Yuhe wanted to join him, Li Tai said with a wry smile.

"Yin Yuhe, what advantage do you have now? Why would I take the huge risk of offending my father and take you into the Prince of Wei's mansion?"
