Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Go out and ask around. Among all her sisters, is there any princess who would allow her husband to take a concubine?

Not to mention allowing their husbands-in-law to take concubines, many imperial sisters also made things difficult for their husbands-in-law, and there were even many people like Gao Yang who went out to have affairs.

Her husband, on the other hand, took advantage of her and still acted like a good boy.

"hey-hey."

Du He grinned twice, then kissed Li Yi hard on the cheek, and then said with a smile on his face.

"Yier, you are my good wife. You have to take care of all my personal affairs."

Seeing her husband acting like a scoundrel, Li Yi, who had been puffing up her cheeks, also burst out laughing.

She had tacitly agreed to her husband taking Linglong as a concubine at first, and she was just saying this on purpose now.

Li Yi nodded and said, "My husband, I will ask the astronomical bureau to do divination tomorrow and choose an auspicious day."

At present, there is no information on auspicious days to refer to in the Tang Dynasty. The dates of all happy and funeral events are determined by the Sitianjian and divination by wizards.

The old almanac first appeared in the ninth year of the Taihe reign of the Tang Dynasty (835 AD), when the people of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau invented a wooden board to print the almanac.

As the old almanac has become more complete, there is no longer a need to seek diviners to choose an auspicious day, but instead one can use the old almanac as a reference.

Du He smiled and said, "It's great to have a good wife at home!"

He didn't just speak it casually, but it really came from his heart.

Compared with Princess Gaoyang, Princess Nanping and others, Li Yi, the legitimate princess, was impeccable in both appearance and temper.

Just as the couple was being affectionate with each other, Du Wu's voice rang out outside the lobby.

"Master, we have already had our meal."

Li Yi knew that her husband would explain things to Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng later, so she quickly took Du Ping'an in her hands and gave him instructions.

"Husband, they both offended Gao Yang because of me. You can't let them get hurt."

"If you need my help, just tell me!"

Her husband just told her that the Emperor's sister Gaoyang secretly instructed the Prince Consort Fang Yiai to take action against the two attendants Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng.

To deal with this situation which had not yet happened, she had no other way except to warn her sister Emperor Gao Yang and Fang Yiai.

The best solution at the moment is to let the husband set up a trap in advance and lure Fang Yiai in.

Only after we have caught Fang Yiai and Emperor Gaoyang's sister with evidence can we punish them.

Du He said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Yi'er. If Fang Yiai is willing to be Princess Gaoyang's butcher, I will teach him a big lesson."

Then Du He glanced at Du Ping'an who was rubbing his eyes, and knew that the boy was sleepy, so he said with a sly smile.

"Yier, take Du Ping'an back to rest first. I'll have a brief talk with the two of them and will be back to serve you in bed soon."

"My husband and I must work harder and try to get pregnant before Yuanzheng!"

Today, the beds in Linglong and the nanny's bedroom were just converted into kangs, and they will have to be left for two days before they can be used, so Du Ping'an slept with himself and Li Yi.

Moreover, his existence seriously affected the birth time of his younger brothers and sisters.

Seeing that her husband was not serious again, Li Yi blushed and said.

"Husband, how can you say such shameful words in front of the child?"

"From now on, you should talk to children more carefully and lead by example!"

After Li Yi nagging for a few words, he handed Du Ping'an, whose eyes were red, to a maidservant on the side to hold.

She then lowered her head and said, "Husband, you have to come back soon, otherwise if I fall asleep, you can't wake me up."

After Li Yi finished speaking, her pretty face turned red. Without waiting for Du He to speak, she waved to a few maids and left through a small door on the side of the lobby.

After watching them leave the hall, Du He restrained the smile on his face, walked out of the hall and said to the two guards.

"Let's go!"

Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng quickly put the food in their hands on the ground and saluted to Du He.

"promise!"

After they exchanged greetings, they quickly took the food they were going to take home and followed Du He with their heads down.

The area near the study is close to the backyard, and usually only a few specific maids are allowed to move around.

These guards and servants could not take a single step forward without the permission of Du He and Princess Chengyang.

After arriving at the study room.

Du He said straight to the point: "You all know the reason of the matter. I also know it clearly, so I will not repeat it."

"For the next two days, you must keep your knives close to you and don't run around. Wait for me to find out Fang Yiai's intentions, and then I will set a trap for him to fall into."

"Don't worry about your family's safety. Fang Yiai is not a desperate criminal. His target is you two, not your family."

These aristocratic families and second-generation descendants rarely send assassins to kill each other, let alone the families behind them.

If Fang Yiai sent people to kill the families of Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng, once the matter was exposed, Fang Yiai would only face death.

Even though Fang Xuanling had a lot of reputation and pleaded with Li Shimin to spare Fang Yiai's death sentence, he would still have to serve an eight or ten-year prison sentence.

Fang Yiai went to a remote place to serve his sentence, and he sent people to retaliate secretly. How could Fang Yiai be saved?

Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng's faces turned grim, and they responded in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

Then Du He gave them some instructions again and told them about the selected parts of the actions he had arranged.

Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng felt relieved when they heard that the master had actually sent spies to check on Yiai and Princess Gaoyang.

They all clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Master, for coming forward!"

Du He waved his hand and said, "You offended Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai because you did things for me. This is not your business, but a matter between Princess Chengyang and me."

Then Du He found two silver ingots in his study and handed them to Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng respectively.

"You have done a great job in protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess. This little bit of silver is a reward for you!"

"In the future, if you encounter such a situation, as long as the opponent is not His Majesty or His Royal Highness, you can do it without any worries!"

It takes a lot of courage for a servant to confront the arrogant princess in order to protect his master.

When ordinary guards saw the two princesses arguing, let alone daring to take the initiative to help, they might not dare to do anything even if their master gave the order.

Du Wu and Zhang Shizheng held the heavy silver in their hands. They looked at each other, then handed the money back and said.

"Master, we feel unworthy of receiving this reward!"

"We are just doing our job. Please take back the money, sir."

Their monthly wages were already higher than those of other guards, and this ingot of silver was equivalent to more than three months' monthly wages, which was no small sum.

Du He stood up and said, "As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Take the money and go back. It's getting late now. If you go back later you won't be able to see the road clearly."

Du He said this with his hands behind his back and left the study.

These guards are not hired assassins; they do high-risk work just to make a living.

If you want these servants to swear allegiance to you, you have to show them more small favors.
