Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

So Li Chengyuan did nothing today and just stayed alone to accompany Wan'er and give her the greatest comfort.

Wan'er also knew what Li Chengyuan meant, so she was very touched.

She knew how busy Li Chengyuan was now. He was busy heading north, busy being crowned king, and even busy "taking revenge on Li Yunrui." Even so, Li Chengyuan was afraid that she would be sad, so he still took time out to accompany her.

Such gentleness and consideration naturally made Wan'er no longer have any other thoughts. She was only touched and sad for Li Yunrui!

Chapter 161: Li Yunrui's cleverness backfires! Fan Xian's sarcastic attitude!

In the afternoon, at three quarters past five.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study!

Snapped!

Emperor Qing threw Chen Pingping's memorial in front of Li Yunrui and said coldly, "Take a look for yourself!"

Li Yunrui picked up the memorial and after taking a few glances at it, his heart skipped a beat and his face looked a little ugly, but he was not panicked.

It only states that Guo Youzhi contacted Zhuang Mohan through his coachman, but there is no concrete evidence for anything else.

So in a moment, Li Yunrui thought of his words, raised his head, and said calmly: "Guo Youzhi is indeed my retainer, and I did meet Zhuang Mohan that day!"

Emperor Qing asked in a serious tone, "Do you plead guilty?"

Li Yunrui defended himself, "Zhuang Mohan is a literary giant. I was confused when reading ancient Chinese texts, so I invited him here just to get his advice in person! The story of him betraying Yan Bingyun is pure nonsense!"

"Reading classical Chinese?"

"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"

Emperor Qing walked up to Chen Pingping and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Chen Pingping replied, "Let's not discuss whether or not to read classical Chinese. The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. The eldest princess secretly tried to win over Guo Youzhi, which is already a crime of forming a clique for personal gain!"

Emperor Qing looked up and asked Li Yunrui, "Do you recognize it?"

"I dare not disobey Dean Chen's words!"

Emperor Qing asked, "How should we deal with this?"

Li Yunrui said without hesitation: "Guo Youzhi is a court official who colluded with the harem. According to the law, he should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial!"

Emperor Qing was speechless and said, "You can't even protect your own people?"

Li Yunrui said calmly, "The law is merciless! Guo Youzhi deserves what he sowed!"

"Ha!" Emperor Qing sneered. "As expected of a descendant of the royal family!"

Emperor Qing glanced at Li Yunrui, then immediately sent an order to the Ministry of Justice to confiscate Guo Youzhi's property!

Afterwards, Emperor Qing asked Li Yunrui: "'933' Guo Youzhi has been imprisoned. What will you do?"

Li Yunrui suppressed his heartache, fell to his knees with a thud, and said loudly, "I am willing to hand over the power of the inner treasury to Your Majesty!"

"You should have handed it over!!!" Emperor Qing roared.

"It's all up to Your Majesty to decide how to punish me!" Li Yunrui retreated to advance, she knew that Emperor Qing would not make things difficult for her for such a matter.

Sure enough, Emperor Qing was spinning in circles, feeling caught in a dilemma, and could only cough lightly to remind Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of treason..."

Before Chen Pingping could finish his words, Li Yunrui interrupted him, "I just said that when I met Zhuang Mohan, we just talked about literature and scriptures. The idea of ​​selling out the country is ridiculous!"

"Is there anyone who can testify?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Who can testify that I betrayed Yan Bingyun?"

"Yan Bingyun betrayed Northern Qi, and very few people knew about it. Not long after the Princess met Zhuang Mohan, Northern Qi issued an order to arrest Yan Bingyun. It wasn't the Princess herself who did it, so how did the news leak out?"

Facing Chen Pingping's questioning, Li Yunrui's mind was a little confused, and he blurted out: "Yan Bingyun is hiding in Northern Qi, and there is another person who knows it!"

"Who?"

"Fan Xian!"

"Yan Bingyun had already left Northern Qi when Fan Xian arrived in Beijing. How could he possibly know about this?"

"As far as I know, Fan Xian met Yan Bingyun on his way to the capital! If you're talking about leaking secrets, he's also not immune from responsibility!"

Hearing this, Chen Pingping almost couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

He had been tempting for a long time, just waiting for Li Yunrui to say this.

As long as she says this, she's finished!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Qing squatted down, stared at Chen Pingping and asked, "Is that so?"

"I will go back and verify this, but even if it is so, it is impossible for Fan Xian to collude with Northern Qi!"

Li Yunrui said with some pride: "Then is it possible for me?"

Emperor Qing's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Then investigate it, and find out the truth!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

...

Fan Mansion.

Fortunately, Fan Xian was leisurely copying "A Dream of Red Mansions".

He no longer cares about Li Yunrui's affairs.

With the two big guys Chen Pingping and Li Chengyuan joining forces, Fan Xian didn't believe Li Yunrui could defeat them.

Teng Zijing was also very leisurely. He was reading "Journey to the West" written by Li Chengyuan alone.

Teng Zijing had just returned home to report that he was safe, and he didn't miss home at all.

Middle-aged men are like this. If they don’t go home for a long time, they will miss it very much.

But after staying at home for a while, I feel annoyed.

Teng Zijing has been stuck at home for a month or two.

I've been wanting to come out and play for a long time.

Now that I finally have a disguise mask, I don’t want to go home!

Like Fan Xian, he didn't think there would be anything surprising about the fight with Li Yunrui.

However, just when they were enjoying these peaceful times, Wang Qinian suddenly arrived.

"grown ups!"

Wang Qinian flew in from outside the yard with a whoosh.

When Fan Xian saw Wang Qinian, he blurted out something sarcastic.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Wang? Aren't you going to accompany my brother to Northern Qi? Why are you here?"

"Ah?" Wang Qinian was stunned. After a moment's pause, he hurriedly said with a flattering smile, "Sir, I haven't left yet, have I? Besides, Your Highness and I are only superficially compatible, and being with you is like adding wings to a tiger!"

Fan Xian sneered. He didn't believe a word of it!

Wang Qinian looked at Teng Zijing in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, sir?"

Wang Qinian did not recognize the appearance of Teng Zijing's mask, but he recognized Teng Zijing's clothes, and was familiar enough with Teng Zijing. He also knew that Li Chengyuan gave Teng Zijing the mask, so he recognized him at a glance.

Teng Zijing curled his lips and said, "Ignore him, he's irritated!"

As he spoke, Teng Zijing called out to Fan Xian.

"Fan Xian, I think your brother is right. You're not in the right mindset right now. Why don't you hurry up and find a new wife?"

"Get lost!" Fan Xian was so embarrassed that he ran out and asked Wang Qinian angrily, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, that's right. The dean asked me to come find you and ask you to come over!"

"what happened?"

"I heard that there was a problem with the music in the palace, and Li Yunrui threw dirty water on you, my lord!"

"Splashed on me? What does this have to do with me?" Fan Xian looked confused.

Teng Zijing's expression also became serious.

Wang Qinian replied: "The Princess said that you met Yan Bingyun when you returned to the capital, so it is possible that you betrayed Yan Bingyun!"

Fan Xian said, "I haven't met him, but I have indeed met him!"

Wang Qinian nodded and said, "If we just met, it should be fine, as long as you don't know that he is on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi!"

"Um..." Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and said, "I... actually know!"

"Ah?" Wang Qinian was dumbfounded.

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't want to either. The one who escorted Yan Bingyun was my master. I chatted with him for a while, and he told me about this!"

Wang Qinian was speechless. "This is top secret! Why is Mr. Fei telling you this? Isn't this just tricking you?"

"That's not right!" Teng Zijing interrupted, "Don't we have Zhuang Mohan's confession?"

"Yes!" Fan Xian asked, "Where's the confession?"

Wang Qinian said, "The confession is with His Highness!"

Fan Xian said, "Then why don't I just have my brother hand in Zhuang Mohan's confession?"

Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Zhuang Mohan is from an enemy country after all. No one can say for sure whether his confession will be useful!"

Fan Xian: "..."

Teng Zijing was speechless and said, "I say you are really worrying about nothing. Didn't His Highness and the Dean tell you?

Even if Li Yunrui pleaded guilty, this alone would not be enough to convict her.

So this matter is not important.

What is important is the follow-up measures of His Highness and the Dean.

So there is no point in you talking about this.

If you have the time, why not ask the dean or His Highness if they can help you? "

Fan Xian: "..."
