One of the hot-blooded Chang'an, drunk Chang'an

Accompanying Li Zhi and Samodoro to enter the palace is Shangguan Zisu. The interpersonal relationship in this palace is complicated. If you are not careful, you don't know which family disputes you will be involved in, so you need to point out from the sidelines.

Because Satsuma thought about the so-called hypnotism in the Western Regions, he brought Futaba along.

Huang Sanpao sent several people to the gate of the palace, and then listened to Li Zhi's order to go to Dai Gong to inquire about the situation of Xiao's father and son.Now that Beauty Xiao had an accident, the life of the Xiao family father and son might be difficult at the border.

The assassination of Beauty Xiao was unclear, in the words of the emperor, there was no sign and no reason, because the incident was strange, and now, Beauty Xiao was not imprisoned, but imprisoned in her own palace, under the strict supervision of the Jinwu Guards After all, only the badge of Dali Temple on Li Zhi's body can enter and exit.

It is possible to meet female relatives everywhere in the palace. Under the guidance of the palace staff and Zisu's suggestion, several people walked a small path, except for a few sporadic palace maids, they did not meet anyone.

But when passing a secluded palace, Li Zhi stopped and told Satsuma: "This is the residence of the layman Lichen."

Samo looked up and saw the word "cause and effect" written on the plaque in the palace.

"It was mentioned in the emperor's own handwriting. The layman Lichen told the emperor that everything in the world has a cause and effect, and there is no escape. So I changed the name of this palace into the word cause and effect." Shangguan Zisu told everyone the reason, In the end, she lowered her voice, avoiding the palace man, and whispered to a few people: "The change of the name of the palace made Concubine Wei very unhappy. Although she didn't say it on the face, she dropped a cup in private."

Since Empress Changsun left, Concubine Wei Gui was the first to receive all the special treatment in the harem, and now there is another one. Although it is not included in the harem, Concubine Wei must not feel comfortable in her heart.

"Cause and effect, I don't know whose cause and whose effect it is." Samodoro tilted his head and smiled at Li Zhi.

That beauty Xiao was imprisoned in her own palace, apart from not having the freedom of life and the service of the palace servants, she was treated with good food and drink.

As soon as he entered the hall, Samodoro looked around, and the beauty Xiao's residence was simple and elegant, without any particularly magnificent decorations, and it matched her overall temperament.

"Miss Xiao, we are from Dali Temple, and we have been ordered to come for questioning." Shangguan Zisu motioned for the two Jinwu guards who were closely guarding to retreat to the outside to guard.

That beauty Xiao was writing at her desk, first-hand Mrs. Wei's small script with hairpin flowers, the writing is delicate and peaceful, elegant and graceful, it seems that her current state of mind is peaceful and peaceful.

Zi Su glanced at Li Zhi in surprise, it stands to reason that this beauty Xiao committed such a serious crime, not only hurting herself, but also hurting her family, there is no reason to be so calm.

"Ms. Xiao, why did you assassinate the emperor? Your Majesty has favored you, and your father and brother also have important responsibilities. You should never do this." Li Zhi didn't beat around the bush.

Xiao Meiren heard Li Zhi's words, stopped the pen in her hand, looked up at Li Zhi, then put the pen down, and smiled at the few people. Her movements were smooth and smooth, and compared with ordinary women, she was more dignified and dignified. Probably this is the difference between Jiangmen women and boudoir women.

"Cheng Ye is so old, I never thought you would enter the palace one day." Beauty Xiao didn't return to Li Zhi's question, but greeted him first.

Watching Beauty Xiao talking to Li Zhi and Zisu, Futaba secretly observes Beauty Xiao's expressions, words and deeds.

At the same time, Samodoro looked around the palace freely, and happened to see two plates of pastries on the table in Miss Xiao's room.Samo turned his head to look at Li Zhi and the others, quietly reached out, quickly took a piece of clear crystal cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Satsuma chewed a few times indiscriminately, and was about to swallow the pastry.But maybe the taste of the crystal cake was so wonderful. After chewing it, Sam couldn't help thinking about it, and even narrowed his eyes slightly.

After swallowing a piece of pastry, seeing that no one noticed him, Satsuma lingered on the crystal cake and the mung bean cake next to him, finally took a piece of mung bean cake and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

On the other side, Beauty Xiao didn't pay much attention to Zisu, but invited Li Zhi to sit down beside her.

"Samo, you're stealing again! Don't eat anything from this palace!" Zisu noticed Samodoro's movement, and hurried over to pull him away from the pastry.

"The desserts in this palace are different from those outside." Samo raised his chin at Zisu, as if he was very satisfied.

Zisu reluctantly pulled Samo to Li Zhi's side, and they sat down separately.

"Why did you assassinate His Majesty?" Li Zhi ignored Xiao Meiren's words, and asked straightforwardly.

"Do you think I'm crazy? I'm going to be the ninth concubine, and now I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep my brother's general." Xiao Meiren's eyes were clear, no matter how Futaba looked at it, she didn't think it was affected by hypnotism people.

"Cheng Ye, if your father is still here, I'm afraid you won't be just a little Dali Temple young minister." Xiao Meiren changed the subject and returned to Li Zhi.

"Miss Xiao, please be careful with your words." Li Zhi couldn't accept what Meiren Xiao said, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Li Zhi's father is an unspeakable existence in this court.

"Xiao Meiren, why on earth did you do this? If someone persecutes you or frames you, you can tell us." Shangguan Zisu looked incomprehensible.

"Persecution? Frame." Xiao Meiren smiled and shook her head, "The border war is about to start, I just want my father and brother to stay away from the vortex of war." Xiao Meiren turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, her eyes blurred into the distance It seems to see through Chang'an, to the frontier.

"Assassinating the emperor is a capital crime. Are you not afraid that the emperor will kill your father, elder brother and all the clan members in a fit of anger?" Samo crossed his arms and stared at Xiao Meiren's temples with interest.

"Your majesty is wise, my father and brother have made great contributions to the country." After saying these words, Beauty Xiao didn't speak any more.

Leaving Beauty Xiao's palace, the palace servants who had led them had disappeared, and they didn't know where to go to work.A group of people walked slowly out of the palace along the way they came.

"Futaba, what do you think?" Li Zhi asked.

"Judging from Xiao Meiren's condition, she is clear-headed and answers clearly, which does not meet the characteristics of the so-called hypnotism. Moreover, her expression and movements don't seem to be being manipulated by someone." Futaba is basically sure, this Xiao Meiren absolutely did not suffer any hypnotism.

"Samo, what do you think?" Li Zhi wasn't sure, did he really want to report the reason that Beauty Xiao assassinated the emperor just to get his father and brother back from important positions on the border?

"The pastries at Beauty Xiao's are really delicious. I'm hungry, so let's go back and eat." Samo blinked at Li Zhi.
