The morning court on the second day was going on as usual, and some keen ministers could smell something about the absence of the few princes they saw on weekdays.

After retiring from the court, those who had made appointments to drink tea and discuss poetry in the past did not pay attention to anyone. When they reached the gate of the palace, they raised their heads to look for their own carriages, and hurried back to the house.

Unknowingly, several princes have disappeared in the court for three days, and some ministers who stood in line early have already fidgeted.

The surface of the three-day court was surprisingly calm, and the calm was not like the early court of Tianjin.

In the past, there would always be this censor or that military general who quarreled, but now they all stood quietly waiting to retreat, not to mention red faces, and no one even made a sound.

At this time, in the Wenjian Palace, an old man with a white beard was sitting behind the desk and was shaking his head, reciting: "Those who love relatives, dare not be evil to others. Those who respect relatives, dare not be slow to others..."

In front of him are rows of desks, and behind six desks are people sitting on the ground, with their eyes on the books on the desks.

Xu Shi was afraid of the four guards with swords standing on the left and right sides of the hall, none of them dared to make small moves.

On the fourth day, the five princes and one princess were all ordered to stay in their rooms, and two solemn guards stood at the door.

Finally, a person came to the Japanese language prison.When Fa walked past the front hall, she couldn't help but slow down. Looking at the empty tables, she seemed to be able to see a girl who looked like Ruoer sitting in the last row, holding a book seriously.

Fa Siqi, who was finally able to enter the palace with her entourage, was not even half happy. She pursed her lips and pulled Fa Yi's sleeve slightly, signaling her to move on.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who had always been worried about not being able to walk ahead of Fa Yi, said respectfully, "Prime Minister Fa, please."

Only then did Fa Yi retract the illusion and go to the apse.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is a thin man with two beards on his lips. He was one of the first batch of poor students who were mentioned by Emperor Cheng of Jin. He respected Fa Yi but was unwilling.

Among the upstarts from the poor family, he was originally the first one, but after being promoted to the prime minister, he is the head of all the ministers, and he is also the real head of the poor family.

As a thorn in the side of the aristocrats of the family, if such a young prime minister can come out, then the faction of his humble family will start to fight against the faction of the aristocratic family.In the big picture, he has to respect this man.

Together with a servant of the punishment department, the four of them went straight to Prince Xian's room, and the two guards guarding the door also went in together.

King Xian learned that he finally didn't have to listen to the old man recite the "Book of Filial Piety", he was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and the sound of pushing the door didn't affect him at all.

As soon as Fa entered the door, he sat down at the table in the outer room, and signaled Si Qi behind him to wake up the person on the bed.

The minister of the Ministry of punishment did not dare to sit down, the person lying in it was the prince, the son of His Majesty's direct relative, he stood beside the table, slightly bent and faced the direction of the inner room.

Fa Yi didn't feel at all uncomfortable sitting down by herself, she touched the teapot, it was still a little hot, and poured herself a cup of tea.

When she heard the bang, she just finished drinking a cup of tea, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the servant turned pale with fright.They all really heard that the prince fell off the bed, so who else could it be besides the prime minister's entourage who went in?

"Who the hell is dying, dare to push your grandfather and me." Xian Wang was sitting in a big dream, but was brought to the ground by a force, he was so angry that he opened his eyes and cursed.

When he saw this familiar person but couldn't remember who it was, his face turned pale with fright when he thought of the assassin of that day, "Okay, good man, spare your life, what do you want? Do you want silver taels? I give it to you. "

Fa Siqi sneered when he heard this, clasped his hands into fists, and still held his head high, "My lord, please, the Prime Minister is waiting for you outside."

After finishing speaking, he was no longer polite, and directly pushed Xian Wang to let him walk outside.

And the virtuous king thought in his mind that he was his grandfather, who was also the right minister.

After being pushed, he trotted out by himself, and when he saw Fa Yi's face, he felt a tightness in his chest, it turned out to be this scumbag.That's right, I actually forgot that my brother-in-law from a lowly businessman was promoted to the left.

"Okay, so it's yours. Your Majesty Fa is so courageous that he dared to break into the king's bedchamber and commit murder. This king wants to see his father and join you." The virtuous king pointed at Fa. One yelled.

However, Fa Yi said unhurriedly: "I ordered a thorough investigation of the residences of the princes and Princess Peng Ji, this time I came here to visit the princes because of some doubts, please don't make things difficult for the princes."

King Xian's face suddenly changed, and the finger pointing at Fa Yi was a little trembling, "You, don't talk nonsense, why is there a problem with this king's mansion?"

"There is a side concubine surnamed Wei in the prince's mansion, is it true?" Fa saw that the virtuous king was not coming to sit, so he stood up and asked.

King Xian's hands trembled suddenly, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded. He murmured softly, "Impossible, she can't."

Fa Yi increased the volume, "My lord, please answer my question."

King Xian's face turned pale with fright, he raised his head and glanced around helplessly, and when he saw the two guards with swords standing behind him, he hurried over, "You, you two hurry up and take me to see my father. Your Majesty, Falaojiu wants to frame this king."

The two guards with knives clasped their hands together and said: "Report to the lord, His Majesty has an order to let us assist the Prime Minister to investigate the case."

Fa Yi had already guessed this would happen.He has always been a fool, and he can't be expected to be a smart person.

"Don't worry, my lord. This time, the minister came with the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. With him as a witness, I think the lord should be relieved." Fa glanced at the disheveled man, and didn't intend to spend too much time on this useless person, " My lord, I ask again, is there a side concubine named Wei in your mansion?"

"Yes, so what? What does this king's woman have to do with you?"

"Since she is a woman in the prince's mansion, the minister has to tell the prince whether he is emotional or reasonable. The woman confessed to the minister that you said, my lord, that there is an underground palace in the mansion of the king of England when I was drunk." Fa Yi smiled, "My lord Why don't you think about it carefully, whether the minister found the underground palace she talked about under the king's mansion."

As she spoke, she flicked her hand, and stopped looking at the man with eyes open in a daze, and strode out, followed by the people who had come.

Two guards with knives closed the door, and it returned to its previous appearance, as if no one had ever been here.

"Prime Minister Fa, are we leaving now?" The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was still a little uncertain about Fa Yi's temperament, and felt that it was too hasty to ask just a few sentences like this.

As soon as Fa came out of the door, he put on a serious face, "Master Shang Shu, why don't you think about it, there is really an underground palace under the mansion of Prince Naying."

Fa Yi's footsteps stopped slowly, she stared at the door in front of her, and was stunned for a while.The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who was still wondering what the underground palace looked like, didn't dare to say anything more.

After he followed the young prime minister in, he realized why he had to stand at the door.

I'm afraid he is also thinking about whether to enter this door, the couple who share the same bed, but now they look like a lieutenant.

Thinking about the appearance of Prince Xian just now, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was a little unsure whether he should quit, after all, it was between the two husbands and wives.

Rumor has it that Shashen Tingwei became a well-known clingy wife slave in Jingzhou after he met His Highness the Princess.He really wanted to watch this good show, because seeing the embarrassment of the young prime minister who was the head of a humble family would be the pinnacle of his life.

While the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was still thinking about it, Fa Yi walked straight to the table, knelt down neatly, put his hands on the ground, and put his forehead on the back of his hand, "Chen Fa prison has seen Princess Pengji , Your Royal Highness Wanan."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was pulled by the servant behind him to kneel down, saluting fearfully.

Why did Prime Minister Fa not follow common sense?Caused him to be rude in front of His Highness!Simply too much!Sure enough, sure enough, the rumors are true, Shashen Tingwei is really a wife slave!

Kneeling on the ground, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice trembled his mustache, and he will never investigate cases with this prisoner again.

The woman sitting at the table was seriously looking at the book in her hand. She didn't seem to be interrupted by these sudden intruders. The Bible turned three pages, and after half a quarter of an hour, he slowly said, "Get up."

Fa Yiyi changed her previous solemn expression, with an extremely gentle smile on her face, she got up slowly, and sat down opposite Peng Ji.

As for the people behind them, their knees were very sore, and their hearts were already overwhelmed, but they didn't dare to show any strangeness on their faces.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stood behind Fa Yi silently, and gradually everyone in the room except Peng Ji and the maid who stood behind her followed Fa Yi and lowered their heads.

It was really because Her Highness Princess's face made up of small facial features was too innocent, and the indifference in her gestures made those who came in for interrogation bow their heads in shame.

Especially the two guards with knives who were in charge of guarding the door, now they are thinking about whether they should keep their faces so solemn in the future.

How could such a delicate woman with no power to restrain her body do such unfilial things.Look, at this time, she is still reading "Book of Filial Piety".

Sitting down, Fa Yi looked at Peng Ji with a smile on his face, his eyes sore, "Could your Highness give me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty."

Zhu Xiang, who was standing behind, wanted to pour tea, but Peng Ji raised her hand to stop her.She put down the book in her hand, lifted the teapot on the side, took a teacup from the table, poured it in, then picked up the teacup with both hands, and slowly placed it on the opposite side of the table.

Fa picked up the teacup, sipped it until it was exhausted, and then put down the teacup, but looked at the empty teacup silently.

That day, she was reluctant to leave His Royal Highness alone and turned away, so she begged for a cup of tea on the grounds of dry mouth.On that day, His Highness personally brewed the tea.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to speak, Peng Ji picked up the book again and turned a page.

From entering the door to pouring tea, Peng Ji didn't raise her head to take another look, but continued to do what she had done before.Only Zhuxiang behind him understood that His Highness slowed down a lot both in speaking and pouring tea, and the interval between turning pages was also shorter than before.

Fa Yi was the opposite, she never changed her gaze from the moment she got up and sat down, even when she was drinking tea, she still looked at Peng Ji with both eyes, as if she wanted to make up for what she hadn't seen for three whole days .

The room was silent, save for the sound of papers touching each other.

The first one who couldn't stand it was Fa Siqi who was standing behind, and she put her hand on Fa Siqi's back from behind.

Only then did Fa Yi speak, "Your Highness, I came here this time to ask Your Highness, do you still have the habit of sleeping here?"

As soon as she said this, the Shang Shu and the servant behind her pinched her stomach fiercely with their hands.God knows how much they want to go out, the two of them just drank a cup of tea before, but they drank a wave of unknown feelings that flew back and forth in the air.Now I thought that the Prime Minister was finally going to talk about something serious, but here's what he said.

It's not right to control it yourself, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to help it.

The two of them simultaneously remembered how long it had been since they had been close to their always strong wife at home.

"It's okay." Peng Ji turned another page and replied calmly.

With this sentence, Fa Yi felt relieved, but he still couldn't let it go. When did His Highness suffer such grievances?Hurry up, I must take His Highness back to the mansion in the shortest possible time.

Thinking in this way, she stood up, "In this way, prison wine is at ease. Your Highness is also at ease. If my sister has been drawing pictures in the mansion these days, she has made some progress." She bent down and cupped her hands, "Your Highness, prison wine, That's back off."

At this moment, when no one looked up, Peng Ji took a look at Fa Yi and then looked away, so quickly that no one noticed.

"Ah."

Fa Yi walked out slowly step by step. Even when she reached the door, she still turned her head to look at Peng Ji. Finally, she said in a low voice: "Your Highness has lost weight." Then she strode out.

The thousands of words in her heart turned into this one sentence.

"So is the son-in-law." There was a soft sound, drowned in the sound of closing the door.

Peng Ji put down the book in her hand, glanced at the already empty teacup opposite, raised her hand and poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it in small sips, imitating Fa Yi, not drinking it all in one gulp.

It turns out that drinking like this is indeed different from the way I drank tea before.

It's as if time moves slower.

"I have read all the history books of this dynasty, and I have never seen an emperor who put princes and princesses under house arrest. Could it be that the throne really will change people's hearts like this?" she murmured.

Zhu Xiang was startled, and hurried forward, lowering her voice, "Your Highness, this is in the palace."

Peng Ji sneered, "You said, if there is a day in this palace, will it also change? It will change so that it doesn't recognize the person next to it, and doesn't care about children." She was talking to herself, without waiting for anyone to answer, He also said: "If this is the case, I will never set foot on that seat."

Zhuxiang lowered her head, not daring to answer.

After a while, the room was quiet, with the occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other.
