He was bullied by Xue Bai, but in turn he wanted to help Xue Bai move to the official position. This was simply because Xue Bai was the sworn brother of the imperial concubine and was difficult to deal with. But if there was a chance to get rid of Xue Bai, it would be much easier than swallowing his anger.

"General Wu doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

Wu Huaishi then handed over the handkerchief in his sleeve and whispered: "Fan Meiren is waiting for him in Chengxiang Hall. You also know that I have a long-standing friendship with him, so I will help him today."

"Okay." Yao Siyi took the veil and said, "Is this feasible?"

"It's feasible." Wu Huaishi said: "If you send him there and send someone to talk to me, I will handle it. A few people who know about it have to keep their mouths shut."

"Understood."

"Where are the others?" Wu Huaishi asked again.

Yao Siyi originally didn't want to tell him Xue Bai's whereabouts, but now he hesitated.

"What? He has left the palace?" Wu Huaishi said, "That's it. Just pretend that I didn't say anything."

"That's not the case." Yao Siyi thought for a moment, made a decision, and said, "I was threatened by him again just now and asked him to follow Princess Hezheng to Yeting Palace."

"What?"

"Princess Hezheng asked me to let her go to see Wei Shi many years ago. I don't want to offend her." Yao Siyi said: "Xue Bai bumped into this matter again today. For some reason, he insisted on following her."

"You are not afraid of falling into his hands." Wu Huaishi said: "Why did he go there? What if he had an affair with Princess Hezheng, can you afford it?"

Yao Siyi smiled bitterly and said: "The two of them want to go to a desolate place like Ye Ting together for the purpose of having an affair. If I stop them, can I afford to offend them? I regret it now. If I had gotten this veil earlier, I would have done it myself.

I won’t be manipulated by him.”

"What is there to regret? You still only need to send someone to lead Xue Bai to Chengxiang Hall."

"But if he surrenders me..."

"When the time comes, tell the truth first. He threatened you with eating, and first forced you to let him and Princess Hezheng into Yeting. You were loyal to the saint and went to file a complaint first. But I didn't expect that he also forced your eunuch to take the throne.

When he went to Chengxiang Hall, you were already in Xianchi Hall and didn't know about it."

"In this case, I am still guilty."

Wu Huaishi said: "Think about it for yourself, does the saint care how much you spend on land and water delicacies? Without Xue Bai, who will still bite you?"

"Then follow General Wu." Yao Siyi said with a smile, "Then General Wu must give me a good word in front of the saint."

"rest assured."

After Wu Huaishi said that, he returned to Xianchi Hall first.

Yao Siyi recruited a confidant and whispered: "Xue Bai will come out in a while, and you will lead him to Chengxiang Hall."

"Grandma, don't worry, my son knows."

"Just say go back to Xianchi Palace, don't let him know where you are going."

"Here."

After giving instructions, Yao Siyi returned to the palace, picked up the official robe left by Xue Bai, and put the handkerchief into his sleeve pocket.

~~

Yeting Palace.

Li Yuetu walked quickly, looking back from time to time to glance at Xue Bai, who was dressed as a eunuch behind him.

When no one was around, she couldn't help but stop and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"yes."

"Why are you following me?" Li Yuetu said, "Are you trying to use my mistakes to frame my grandpa?"

"Too lazy to do this." Xue Bai said: "It's easy to frame your grandpa, but it's difficult to get rid of him."

"Why is that?"

Xue Bai didn't answer.

Li Yuetu thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Do you like me?"

She has a completely different temperament from Li Tengkong. As she spoke, she took a step forward and said, "Because of my status, you like me but don't want to marry me? But I want to marry you, but I may not like you."

Xue Bai considered it carefully and said in deep thought: "You and I will not have a relationship between a man and a woman, and we cannot have one."

"Why?"

"Because I am a married man."

Speaking of Yan Yan, Li Yuetu couldn't help but said: "Did you listen to Sanniang? I occasionally come to Yeting to see my adoptive mother."

"Yes." Xue Bai finally agreed to answer her and said, "I want to meet Princess Boping to confirm who the saint wants to arrange to marry Anqing Zong."

"For this, you take such a big risk?"

"If we can't get rid of An Lushan, he will kill me sooner or later. Then it will be much more dangerous than now."

"I think you are lying to me." Li Yuetu said, "You have secrets to hide from me."

"One day, you will know." Xue Bai said: "But you can believe that I am a loyal and upright minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"I don't believe you."

Li Yuituo said this, turned around and left, but took Xue Bai to the palace where Princess Boping lived. After all, this matter was also related to her. She did not want to marry An Qingzong.

"But I wonder if Princess Boping can get married, will it be a good thing or a bad thing?" she asked Xue Bai.

"Then let's see if she is willing to leave the palace."

"If she is willing, will you help her? Then you are also helping me." Li Yuetu said, "But she must be willing."

…

Officially, the Yeting Palace is said to be "the place where palace people teach and learn arts." In fact, it is also the residence of concubines and palace maids. There are many concubines of saints, except for a few favored concubines who have separate palaces. Most of the concubines and palace maids

Most of them live in Yeting Palace.

But it is indeed a place where concubines, princesses, and the female relatives of prisoners are imprisoned. For example, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the two daughters of Concubine Xiao Shu, the two princesses of Yiyang and Xuancheng, were always imprisoned in Yeting and were not allowed to marry when they were over thirty.

The palace where Princess Boping lived was exactly where Princess Xuancheng lived.

The palace door was closed, and no one was guarding it. Li Yuetu glanced around, and when he opened the door, he saw a desolation in the courtyard, with withered flowers and trees that had not been taken care of, overgrown vines beside the stone path, and the eaves above the palace rising and falling.

Full of dust.

An old palace maid was sitting on the porch, basking in the sun and dozing off. She heard some noise, opened her eyes, and was pleasantly surprised to see Li Yuetu coming.

"The county lord is here."

Li Yuetu did not say that she had been made the princess, but asked: "Ge Niang, is your princess here?"

What she said was nonsense. Where else could Princess Boping go if she wasn't here?

"Here I am."

While talking, someone came out of the temple.

Xue Bai looked at it, but was greatly surprised... She was a girl, about the same age as him, with a very beautiful face, but with curly hair and a high nose, she was obviously of some barbarian descent.

Princess Boping was not born to Li Ying's Crown Princess Xue? Then neither was Li Qian? So these twins, one died and the other was imprisoned?

If so, all plans will be in vain.

"This is Chong Niang." Li Yuetu introduced Xue Bai in a low voice and said, "She is my aunt."

Xue Bai knew that the woman with Hu people's blood was not the princess of Boping County, so he asked: "Is she also a princess?"

"No, Chongniang hasn't made her a princess yet."

"Why?"

Li Yuetu didn't want to say anything at first, but Xue Bai asked, so he had to say: "Her mother-in-law is a Hu Xuan girl who paid tribute to Cao State. When Lady Chong was born... she was less than a month old."

Xue Bai then understood that when the child was less than a month old, Li Longji suspected that she was not his biological daughter, and that perhaps Hu Xuannu had been brought with her as "private goods" when she was brought as tribute.

Ahead, Li Chongniang had already stepped forward, bowed to Li Yuetu, and said timidly: "I'm here to see the princess."

"I want to see you too." Li Yuetu stepped forward, took out a box of cakes, and said, "For you and your mother-in-law to eat."

"Thank you, Lord County."

Li Chongniang was greatly surprised. Her humble demeanor was not like the daughter of an emperor at all, and she looked more miserable than ordinary palace people. After all, the saint had twenty-nine daughters, and it was almost impossible to think of this daughter who might not be his daughter.

Xue Bai lowered his head slightly and looked into the hall.

The old palace maid who was sitting in the corridor squinted her eyes and saw the stubble on his lips that had been shaved just this morning. Then she stepped forward and reached out to dig into his crotch.

Li Yuetu quickly stepped forward to block it, shook his head, and whispered: "Don't touch Ge Niang, he is here to help the princess,"

Ge Niang nodded and welcomed them into the palace.

There are more furnishings in the palace than Xue Bai expected.

There is a harp on the qin table, and a pipa next to it. There are dominoes scattered on a table. It seems that only two people are playing. There is a long table next to it. The scroll on the floor is only half painted, because there are no more dominoes on the inkstone.

Without the ink sticks, the paintings hanging on the wall have monotonous colors.

It can be seen that various materials are still supplied here, but there are inevitably heavy discounts.
