On the second day, before dawn, Chen Hai came to the imperial study to look for Li Mengting, but found that she was not in the imperial study.The guard at the door told him: "Your Majesty has been in the warm pavilion all night and has not come out yet."

Chen Hai slapped his head, his face was filled with an expression of hatred for iron, what did the little emperor tell him last night?She said she had a sense of proportion and would go to rest by herself.

But there is not even Zhang Tiezi in the warm pavilion, where does she go to rest, lying in the sand table?

Chen Hai guessed half right, Li Mengting really slept leaning on the sand table for an hour.When she was awakened by the outside, she was still a little dazed. She thought she had just squinted for a while, and it was almost dawn when she never wanted to open her eyes.

She has to go to court in the morning.

The door of the warm pavilion was opened from the inside, and Li Mengting was still wearing the same clothes as last night.The sand on her chin hurt her so much that she wiped it clean with her hands.

Chen Hai walked towards her, distressed and angry at the same time: "Your Majesty didn't sleep all night?" His eyes quickly swept across the Nuan Pavilion, and seeing all kinds of soldiers on the sand table, he knew that she must have been tossing around for a long time .

Li Mengting went out and closed the door of the Nuan Pavilion. Without her order, no one was allowed to enter this room.

Chen Hai took a quick glance, then retracted his gaze, and hurriedly called the court ladies and eunuchs to help the emperor change his clothes and freshen up.

In the early morning, Li Mengting sat on the dragon chair, rubbed his fingers on the place where the sand had been burrowed, and his eyes glided over Yin Mingxi's body inadvertently.

"All my loves, let's go, who will start the court this morning?" In the past few days since she took the throne, she has assigned many tasks to the ministers.

Not reporting the completed tasks is tantamount to not completing the tasks. Li Mengting will be killed here, so all the ministers are very enthusiastic.

Lin Changxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to come up to report the work. His main task at hand was to check the identity information of the people in the capital.

The name, gender, age, household registration, and type of work of the personnel in Beijing must be clearly registered one by one.Unidentified people should pay special attention to find out whether they are spies sent by foreign enemies.

This task was assigned by Emperor Jianzhao before his death. Now that it is in the hands of Li Mengting, she also feels that it is very important and must be carefully supervised and implemented.

Lin Changxing is old-fashioned but meticulous in his work. He can clearly give what Li Mengting asked for, and he has done a good job overall.

But Li Mengting is used to thinking deeper. She pointed out an appearance feature registered in the register, and said to Lin Changxing: "Compared with the register registered in Jianzhao ten years ago, I found that there are many more "dumbs" in the capital. Let me count them in detail. After a while, there are ten times as many people. I have doubts about their identities. Lin Aiqing needs to continue to investigate to find out which of these dumb people are real and which ones are fake? Some foreigners have different accents from Daqi, and they often try to deceive others. And pretend to be dumb. I give you a five-day time limit, can you finish it?"

At the beginning of the early court, Li Mengting's attitude was still very gentle when he met a conscientious minister.

Lin Changxing lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Your Majesty, those who want to hide their identities must be prepared. The five-day time limit is too short."

"Okay, then I'll give you a month."

Hearing this, Lin Changxing heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward to thank him and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, one month is enough."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew, and then the people from the Ministry of Industry stepped forward to play.

During the early dynasty, Li Mengting's eyes met Yin Mingxi's many times, conveying the same emotion.They waited for more than half of the morning, but still no one made a fuss about what happened in the Peony Building yesterday.

When encountering enemies, sometimes it is not because they are afraid of their superior means, but because they are afraid of their deep thoughts. They think of everything they think of themselves. The most terrifying thing is to suppress them step by step.

Faced with such a situation, the comparison is who is more patient.

After the morning court, they didn't get any clues about this matter, and all the officials seemed to be dumb.The quiet court hall made them even more worried.

It turns out that outsiders have interfered in the court to such a serious extent.The officials didn't necessarily listen to the emperor's words, but under the organization of caring people, an agreement was reached so easily.

"Aiqing, they are declaring war on us." In the imperial study room, Li Mengting put down the chapter in his hand, pinched his brows, and was annoyed by the muddy court.

Yin Mingxi sat beside her, separated by a screen, she couldn't see the man's face, but could hear the grief and anger in her voice.

Yin Mingxi was equally sad and indignant, but her mood was different from Li Mengting's. She still had a hidden powerlessness in her heart.

In this life, she often has such a feeling of frustration and powerlessness, as long as things don't go her way, she will be like this.This is also the case at this time.

But when she heard Xinjun's low and soft voice, like a little milk cat asking for help on a rainy night, she felt pity in her heart, and she didn't want to drag her into the same abyss as herself, so she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, this is a long-lasting battle." Only those who can bear their temper will have the last laugh."

She told Li Mengting and also told herself.

"The one who has the last laugh must be us!" Li Mengting's passionate voice came from behind the screen. Yin Mingxi was infected, and her frowning eyebrows slightly relaxed. She seconded, "That's right."

After finishing speaking, Yin Mingxi was a little astonished again. For some reason, in just a few days, she and Li Mengting stood on the same front.She clearly planted a killer by her side, who will take her head ten days later.How could she feel compassion for her?

Yin Mingxi felt that it was Li Mengting's personal affair that affected her, so in the next few days, she kept a close distance with Li Mengting.

Li Mengting has always been well-behaved and did not do anything beyond the rules.

**

On the morning of March [-], Yin Mingxi felt that it was unusual.Li Mengting, who always convenes court meetings on time, suddenly fell ill and declared that he would rest in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a few days, and the cabinet will temporarily deal with national affairs.

Yin Mingxi had seen her the day before, and taught her to write. Seeing her lose her patience and scribble on the paper, she was still alive and kicking, and smiled at her pretentiously at every turn. Why did she suddenly say she was sick?

Could it be that she discovered her secret and did this to hide from herself?

Yin Mingxi was uncertain, so he decided to go to the palace to find out.Before she reached the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she was stopped by Chen Hai.

"Princess Chu just came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Yin Mingxi saw Chen Hai coming with the Imperial Physician Chu from the Imperial Hospital, and already had a guess in his heart.

Chu Zhongbin, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, stroked his gray beard, nodded and said, "Exactly. Your Majesty became sick from overwork, resulting in heart, lung and blood deficiency, and was sick. I just went to see her."

Yin Mingxi looked carefully at Chu Zhongbin's wrinkled face, trying to judge the authenticity of what he said from his face.

After a while, she looked away, but she didn't find any clues.

"Your Majesty doesn't take care of his body so much, he never sleeps at night." Chen Hai was heartbroken, and his voice was filled with tears, "It's useless to persuade her, she deserves to be good, and send the maids and eunuchs away." After retiring, I still looked at the memorials and military review books with my clothes on."

Yin Mingxi had heard about these things, and his eyeliner told her what they had seen and heard with their own eyes.She was surprised by Li Mengting's determination to govern the country, but she also knew that such an extreme approach as hers was not advisable.

"When Your Majesty takes care of her body this time, Lord Shoufu must take good care of her." Chen Hai said to Yin Mingxi specifically.He felt that the only person in the world who could control this capricious little emperor was Lord Shoufu.

The Imperial Physician Chu didn't know, so he would get the wrong idea, and echoed: "As the emperor's teacher, Mr. Shoufu should indeed preach to His Majesty. You should not make fun of your body at a young age."

Seeing that the two spoke so sincerely, Yin Mingxi felt ashamed of being a minister if he didn't visit, so he asked, "Can I visit His Majesty at this time?"

Chen Hai shook his head: "Your Majesty is weak and needs to rest, so I don't want to disturb others. And Mr. Yin knows that Your Majesty saves face and doesn't want people to see her weak. Let's visit her in a few days."

"Princess Chu, how long will Your Majesty need to rest for this body? In troubled times, it is not good to delay major national affairs for too long, and His Majesty has to decide many of them."

"It will take six or seven days to walk on the ground. Haoquan needs to recuperate for more than half a month."

"It's been so long." Yin Mingxi frowned and muttered. She didn't question the doctor Chu's medical skills, but she had doubts in her heart. The new king has only been enthroned for more than ten days, so why should he be recuperated for more than half a month when he gets sick?

For more than half a month, the court affairs have been left alone like this, don't you care?

Seeing Yin Mingxi's gloomy expression, Chen Hai quickly winked at Chu Zhongbin, accusing him of saying that the emperor's condition was too serious, as long as he said it for a few days, how could he open his mouth for half a month?

It's no wonder that it doesn't make people suspicious!

But the words spoken are like water poured out, and they can't be taken back. They can only try their best to make this mess up.

Fortunately, Yin Mingxi didn't ask any more questions, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

**

Li Mengting left the capital overnight. Her original plan was to send out around March 10, but yesterday Nan Gongfu sent her a message saying that Fu Jincai spent [-] taels of relief money on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling along the way. Huge, almost made her vomit blood with anger.

She was so angry that she couldn't sit still, so Chen Hai urgently adjusted a horse with good endurance, and set off overnight. She wanted to cut off the head of this scorpion with her own hands!

In her bosom was the money that Yin Mingxi counted with her, and she would do what she said, and she would deliver the money to those who needed it with her own hands.

Li Mengting held a special pass document and ran unimpeded all the way, day and night, running towards Jianghuai at full speed.

The horse couldn't stand it any longer, so she changed horses.

Wherever the distance is short, she will take whichever way.

She missed Yin Mingxi in the capital, and didn't want her to be embarrassed, and she didn't want her to be the target of public criticism.So she has to be fast.

She hoped that after this encounter, Yin Mingxi would look at her with admiration.

She has spiritual power, but she believes that man can conquer nature, and she practices it personally.She hopes that with her own efforts, she can become someone Yin Mingxi can rely on and trust.

"Da da——" the sound of horseshoes reverberated in the silent jungle, startling the birds all over the trees, and the sun shining on the treetops was not as hot as the enthusiastic heart.

**

On the fourth day of falsely claiming that Xinjun was ill, Chen Hai was already in a state of desperation.Civil and military officials gathered in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, clamoring to see the emperor.What's more, they are forced to die.

The princes and nobles in the collateral line couldn't sit still anymore. What kind of illness did the new monarch have?Wouldn't it be dead already?Doesn't the throne have to take turns?

Chen Hai really couldn't stand it anymore, he chose to tell the truth to Yin Mingxi.

After hearing this, Yin Mingxi reprimanded loudly: "Nonsense! The new monarch is making a fool of himself. How can Eunuch Chen Hai accompany her? Do you know how many variables will happen on the way? The Simon people are waiting for such an opportunity. If If they find out that our monarch is missing, their army will gather immediately and kill them in the blink of an eye!"

The emperor was not in front of her, so she scolded Chen Hai a lot.

She was trembling with anger, unable to rationalize her anger.

Chen Hai has been a eunuch in the palace for decades, so he doesn't know that this method is wrong.It's just that Li Mengting's temper is not something he can persuade, and he is helpless: "Your Majesty said that she will come back in five or six days. This is the most critical few days. Lord Shoufu must help our family."

There was a mess inside and outside the palace, Chen Hai was about to cry, and looked at Yin Mingxi almost beggingly.

Yin Mingxi regained his composure for a while, and then said after a while: "For the sake of today's plan, it is impossible to keep it secret." If it is impossible, she will pretend that she died outside, and establish a new king.

"Minister, I will appease you first. Is there any way you can urge her to come back soon?"

"Yes, there is, but His Majesty said...you have to wait until Mr. Shoufu can't stand it anymore..."

When is this, and you want to plot against her?Yin Mingxi rolled his eyes at Chen Hai directly, and said coldly: "Then you predict how long I can last?"

Chen Hai was terrified by her gaze, and hurried to pass the letter to Li Mengting and Feige.

Another two days later, some people in the court couldn't sit still any longer, they gathered around the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not giving up when they saw the emperor.

Chen Hai simply closed the door and disappeared, walking around in a hurry in the hall, praying for His Majesty to appear soon.

Yin Mingxi sat in the side hall silently thinking about his plan, his eyebrows were tightly frowned.She has already found the candidate for the next monarch, and she can go out now and use her own words to calm this messy situation.

But she didn't do that.

What upset her was that her heart was not as firm as before.She's still waiting for that deadline, her heart is still waiting for something.

With a bang, the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was knocked open by a strong force, and a figure stumbled in. She wanted to walk towards the dragon chair, but when she reached the stone steps, her feet fell apart. Straining, he collapsed directly on the stone steps.

The disheveled Li Mengting touched the sweat on his face with his hand, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Chen Hai, bring me a pot of water..."

She hadn't drank water for two days, and her throat felt like it was on fire.

"Ah! Your Majesty, why...how did you get into this look?" Chen Hai cried out in surprise, seeing her pale face and chapped lips, he hurried to find water for her.

After bumping on the horse for several days, Li Mengting's back leaned against the real object, and Li Mengting's vague consciousness became clearer, and she asked again: "You said in the letter... that... Yin Mingxi died. What's wrong with her...what's wrong with her?"

Seeing that she was dying of thirst, Chen Hai felt that it was important to save her life first, so he was too busy pouring water for her, so he didn't have time to talk to her, so he didn't answer.

Li Mengting was in a hurry: "Stop pouring water, answer me first."

Her voice was loud and urgent, and Chen Hai was afraid that she would be too weak at this time, so anxious that she would not be able to catch her breath, and would die suddenly, so he had no choice but to answer, and he pointed to Piandian: "Master Yin is not there, Your Majesty should ask her himself."

Li Mengting turned his head and saw Yin Mingxi standing in the corner of the hall in good order, with hands and feet, without mistakes, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent.

Chen Hai didn't write clearly in the letter, she really thought that something happened to her.Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was relieved.

Yin Mingxin stood there dumbly, a layer of mist formed in his eyes.

Someone was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sticking out his head from the dirty place, like a flower blooming in the ruins, very beautiful.

Someone was all dirty, gasping for breath in the resplendent golden hall, so embarrassed that Yin Mingxi actually felt that this was more beautiful than all the flowers she had ever seen.

The first time she saw her, she was also in such a mess.

Some things are really a coincidence.

The author has something to say: Xiao Li was surprised: Master Shoufu didn't recognize me because I wasn't dirty enough?
