Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li spoke freely, but Fang Yao became more and more excited as he listened. "Li'er, where is your master? Uncle wants to visit him. If possible, uncle wants him to teach the soldiers to practice this teleportation method. This method is so powerful. Because the speed is fast enough, you can move freely anywhere, as if you are in an empty space. It's really powerful."

"Not only the soldiers need to learn, but my uncle must too. Once we learn, we can close our eyes and return to Xiqiang. Remember the assassination of the Emperor at the Peach Blossom Banquet? After a secret investigation, we've determined from the weapons the assassins didn't have time to take away that they were made of materials forged in Xiqiang. My uncle is planning to return to Xiqiang, but the journey is long and the round trip will take who knows how long. And now the Emperor is ill again... If we can learn that teleportation technique, all of this won't be a problem. By the way, after your cousin recovers from his injury, he'll have to sneak into the Mizhou iron ore mines. It would be great if he could learn from your master as well."

Shen Li smiled, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing that his uncle was getting more and more excited, he quickly pleaded, "Uncle, I don't know where Master is either. I will tell you as soon as I have any news."

Fang Yao was about to say something else when Eunuch Chang hurried over. "General, the Second Prince has requested an audience. He said he's worried about the Emperor's safety and insisted on attending to him in the Purple Palace. My servant's men tried to stop him, but he beat them up. Now he's being held outside by your men. What do you think we should do?"

Listening carefully, I could hear faint cursing sounds outside.

Fang Yao frowned and his face darkened. "Let's go out and take a look."

After saying that, he strode out.

As the footsteps got closer, the sound of the Second Prince cursing became clearer and clearer.

"You bunch of dogs, when did it become your turn to block my way? The entire Great Zhou belongs to my Xiao family, not to mention the imperial palace. I'm here to see my parents, what kind of dogs are you? Get out of here, or don't blame me for being blind with my sword!"

"Second Prince, why are you so angry?" Fang Yao came out from the corner with a cold face and slowly approached. "The emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and he was sick again. He just felt better and took medicine to go to bed. Are you planning to wake him up? Make him come out to greet you? Don't say that I didn't remind you. Before the emperor went to bed, he told me that he would not see anyone except the empress dowager during his convalescence, including the princes. If you ask me, the second prince should go back first and stay here honestly and do nothing. This is the true filial piety to the emperor. Instead of being like the second prince, who keeps saying that he wants to serve the sick, but who knows what he is actually thinking about. Am I right?"

"You, you..." The Second Prince pointed his finger at Fang Yao, "You're talking nonsense. There's no way the Emperor wouldn't let us in. You must be the one who's passing on his will. I want to see the Emperor. I must see the Emperor. Fang Yao, get out of here. Take all your people and get out. You don't need to defend this place. Get out."

With a bang, Fang Yao kicked the second prince on the butt, knocking him to the ground.

Then he raised his foot and stomped on the Second Prince, making him unable to move. "Come here, tie him up and send him to Fengyi Palace. Let him chat with the Queen."

Everyone hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.

Mu Heng happened to come from another road. Without saying a word, he frowned, picked up the second prince and left.

"Mu Heng, you are so bold! You are courting death..."

Mu Heng tiptoed and jumped over the wall. The second prince's scolding gradually faded away.

......

Shen Li left the palace and as soon as she reached the door, she saw Qiluo and Qili waiting for her in the carriage.

As soon as she saw her come out, Qiluo jumped off the carriage and walked towards her, "Master, something happened.

"what's up?"

There was no need to go to the palace gate to tell her; I couldn't even wait a moment.

"There's rumors out there that the general has promised the emperor to marry you to the eldest prince. They're spreading it with all sorts of details, even going so far as to say that your horoscopes are a perfect match for the eldest prince and that it's auspicious."

Shen Li was startled. "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday there was nothing, but this morning when I left the house, people were talking about it all over the streets. I suspect someone is spreading this rumor on purpose. Gulu and I went to investigate separately, but we couldn't find out where the rumor came from."

It would be strange if it could be found out.

Shen Li cursed inwardly. Apart from Xiao Chenze, who else had the ability to plan something like this? Who dared to talk about him so carelessly?

I didn't expect him to do this, taking advantage of the chaos in the palace to start a public opinion war.

Humph.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

See who wins!

"It's okay, let them talk," Shen Li said indifferently, "When things fail, we'll see whose face we can slap."

Qili lifted the curtain and helped Shen Li into the carriage. "Master, from what you said, do you know who started the rumor?"

Shen Li waved her hand and said, "Let's go back to the Shen Mansion."

It has been many days since I last went back to Jiaojiaoyuan. I haven't eaten the food cooked by He Gu for a long time. I really miss it.

The carriage turned around and headed towards the Shen Mansion. Before it reached the gate, it heard a commotion and noise from over there.

Qiluo said nothing, lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and went to inquire ahead.

Qili hurriedly stopped the carriage and did not squeeze into the crowd.

After a while, Qiluo came back, "Master, I've heard that the Yao family is causing trouble at the gate. They want Shen Zhaojiang to hand over Shen Shaokun, saying that they want to go to the government office together to seek justice for their master."

Qili asked curiously, "What's going on? Why are they mobilizing so many troops? Don't the Yao family and Shen Zhaojiang have a good relationship? Why did they suddenly fall out? How did Shen Shaokun become a member of the Yao family? He's so scared that he doesn't even dare to show his face?"

A series of question marks made Qiluo laugh at her, "How can you find out so much? You can do whatever you want, it's none of our business."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a surprised voice from outside, "Qiluo Qili, are you back? Where's the girl? Is the girl back?"

It’s Pinellia ternata.

When Shen Li heard her voice, her heart warmed up and she pulled the curtain, "Banxia, ​​I'm here."

Banxia's voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the Yao family. Someone recognized the emblem on the carriage and said, "It's someone from the Shen Mansion. It must be the master of the Shen Mansion. Let him get off and give us an explanation. Ask the Shen family, if they have the courage to hurt others, why don't they have the courage to face others? Come down, tell me who is inside, come down if you have the courage."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Shen Li came out slowly. Qiluo and Banxia helped her get off the carriage.

Wherever she stood, she was dignified and dignified, and her whole body exuded an inviolable aura.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"

Someone who knew Shen Li murmured quietly, "This girl is so pitiful. She lives under her stepmother and is not well-liked."

"Yeah, I heard that even Shen Zhaojiang didn't take care of her. How pitiful."
