The prince’s wife and concubines are three levels: Crown Princess, Liang Di and Baolin. Du Erniang and Du Jing are Liang Di and the third rank.

In the first month of this year, the Crown Princess Wei was forced to divorce the Crown Prince due to the Wei Jian case. In this regard, Du Jing was happy that he had the possibility of becoming the Crown Princess, but at the same time he was also worried.

That day, when the prince was sent out, the maid Qu Shui hurried to report: "The aunt asked someone to bring the token, and it was a big deal."

Du Jing knew that since her elder sister married Liu Ji, she had almost sold her dowry, but only a jade pendant was still there. She took it and hurriedly ordered people to come in.

"What a big deal?" She had a premonition of something bad, and she trembled and said to herself, "I walked on thin ice, and finally fell into the ice hole."

She adjusted her emotions and rushed to the side hall. She saw a young man sitting upright on the cushion, with a calm temperament.

But when he turned around, Du Jing realized a sense of being examined.

She couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Do you dare to ask who Xiaolangzi is?"

"Langzi" is a beautiful name for a handsome boy, and the word "small" added was her subconscious resistance to being examined by Xue Bai.

"Xue Bai, I received the favor of the Du family." Xue Bai said straight in one fell swoop: "Liu Langshu sued the Du family for 'risproaching the prophecy, joining the Eastern Palace, and accusing the Chengyu'. Jingzhao Mansion has taken the order. Someone is manipulating this matter behind the scenes. We have found evidence and want to submit it to the prince."

Du Jing's face changed instantly, but he quickly calmed down.

"The prince is not here, can I give the evidence to me first?"

Xue Bai took out the draft of the shaped paper.

Qu Shui was about to step forward, but Du Jing had already leaned over to Xue Bai to take it, and a white patch came into his eyes.

A faint fragrance wafted by. She took the manuscript paper and sat down slowly on the thin ball opposite her. After looking carefully, she drew Qushui and whispered: "Let me ask the prince to come back quickly."

After that, she asked Xue Bai about the detailed story, and Xue Bai then started to tell him in detail when he was in a coma and amnesia and was a book boy in the Du family.

After hearing this, Du Jing patted his heart and showed his gratitude, saying, "Xue Langzi ran for the Du family. I am a little cold today and I cannot repay you. I will thank you again in the future."

Xue Bai said slowly: "Although I have lost my memory, I know that since I was beaten to death, I must have offended someone before. When I came here today, someone was following me. Maybe these people would find out what happened before I lost my memory and cause trouble to the prince?"

Du Jing's eyes narrowed and he heard what he meant. He said that he was afraid of causing trouble to the prince, but in fact he wanted the prince's protection.

Her tone changed slightly, and she said, "If you cause any trouble, you can just say it. I will never refuse if I can help you."

Xue Bai said: "But I really don't remember."

Du Jiang felt a little unhappy.

Xue Bai said again: "Qinglan said that I had a brand on the back of my neck and a strangle wound on my legs. I should be an official slave."

"Depending on your appearance, but the wealthy family was detained as slaves?"

"I can't remember, but it's possible."

Du Jing was willing to repay this favor, but the prince’s situation is not good now. Without knowing whether Xue Bai’s troubles were big or small, it is inevitable that there will be risks to rashly agree to protect him.

So she looked at Xue Bai carefully again for a while, wondering if this person is worth helping.

Finally, Du Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I will keep you from doing anything."

Xue Bai breathed a little relieved and asked, "Can I meet the prince?"

"The prince is busy and it is not convenient to see you." Du Jing's eyes turned and said, "If you have something to do, it will be the same as me. The Eastern Palace will never treat you badly."

Xue Bai looked at her and saw a very familiar look. He immediately understood that he was also working for the East Palace, and she hoped that he would help her.

It can be seen that although she and the prince are husband and wife, there are still some subtle differences between them.

Xue Bai said calmly: "I heard about the Wei Jian case that happened at the beginning of the year and kept thinking that if the prince gave up on the people around him again this time, it would be bad for people's hearts, right?"

He seemed to have become a counselor under the curtain of the prince's good deer, and considered the problem from Du Jing's perspective.

Qinglan was shocked to see this situation. It has only been five days since the Du family saved Xue Bai, but he has been able to show more strangeness every day, which shows that he is extremely cunning.

Du Jing wanted such a person very much, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I am not Wei, and we have evidence to prove the innocence of the Du family. This case is simple and it is not difficult to overturn the case."

With this smile, she is indeed a beauty that makes men desperate.

Then, she added softly, saying, "Of course, I will let the prince know about your words in a tactful way. The crown prince is the foundation of the country. If you don't talk about prestige, you will have to keep the last bit of decency no matter what."

Xue Baishen nodded with consent and asked, "How does Erniang plan to use this evidence?"

He also called her "Second Niang" instead of "Du Liangdi". Du Jing smiled knowingly again and said, "The prince must discuss with several lecturers and come up with the most appropriate method."

This is not the issue that Xue Bai can deal with, so he asked, "Who is making trouble behind the scenes?"

Du Jing sneered slightly, "Who else can there be except for the right prime minister Li Linfu of the dynasty?"

Xue Bai didn't say anything, just wait for the following.

"Li Linfu's little name is Genu. Because he is ruthless by nature, has no harmony and is strong in spirit, he calls him "Search to Fighting Cock" to the Chinese soldiers. He strongly supported the establishment of Shouwang as the crown prince, and thought he had no contribution to the enthronement of the crown prince, so he wanted to shake the Eastern Palace. The Wei Jian case at the beginning of the year was the result of his unjust imprisonment..."

Du Jing opened his mouth very well, scolded Li Linfu for being an innocent person, and finally concluded: "This person is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and is a great treacherous minister to harm the world."

Xue Bai listened very seriously.

He sat upright, occasionally his fingers would unconsciously shaking in a virtual position, as if he was holding a piece of lead chalk recording.

Du Jing looked at him and guessed that he had the habit of taking notes when listening to people's words.

After talking about Li Linfu, Xue Bai pondered for a moment and asked again: "Is there Yang Guozhong in the court?"

Du Jing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this person."

"It's Yang Guifei's brother."

"Yang Guifei only has three sisters and one died young." Du Jing said: "But this year, a cousin who is not in tune with her is a spittoo."

"Spit?"

"There is a story to tell. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't know this person." Du Jing said: "This person is named Yang Zhao, who is addicted to alcohol and gambling, and is despised by his relatives, so he had to go to Xichuan to make a living. It seems that he was last year? He returned to Chang'an from Xichuan, gave gifts everywhere, and curled up with Li Linfu."

Speaking of this, she tilted the corners of her mouth downwards, waved her sleeves before continuing.

"One day, Li Linfu came out of the imperial city and put an old phlegm in his mouth and had nowhere to spit. Yang Zhao was accompanying him, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked Li Linfu to spit it in his mouth, so he was known as the "spice pot". One robbed cocks and the other spice pot, and the other spice pot was in conjunction with the flow."

Qing Lan was by her side, and she couldn't help but say "Huh" in disgust, and felt a chill.

Xue Bai was speechless for a while.

I thought to myself that it seems that Yang Zhao is Yang Guozhong and has not yet made a fortune.

Du Jing asked, "Why did you ask about this person? But Liu Jie had something to do with him?"

Xue Bai asked without hesitation, "Why does Erniang think so?"

"Liu Jie was appointed as the Zuo Xiao Guard, and Yang Zhao was appointed as the You Xiao Guard, and they all wanted to drown in the wine pool, so it was normal to have some contact." Du Jing said: "You mean... Liu Jie was introduced to Ji Wen by Yang Zhao? What did the eldest sister tell you?"

Xue Bai talked with Du Mai for a long time last night, but Du Mai didn't know these people in the court. She only said that Liu Ji never talked about these things after he returned home.

In comparison, Du Jing was really much more flexible in his thinking after he was a powerful figure.

When Xue Bai heard her say it, he instantly gained a lot. He pondered and said, "The obstacle of this case..."

At this moment, Qu Shui hurriedly ran back and reported, "The prince is back."

"So fast?" Du Jing was a little surprised.

"The person sent by me just went out, and I think the prince must have heard some news before he rushed back."

Du Jing nodded, got up to greet him, and at the same time explained to Xue Bai: "When I have seen the prince, I will welcome my elder sister, Wulang, you can wait here, don't walk around at will."

~~

Du Jing was kind to others and did not forget to order someone to prepare lunch for Xue Bai and Qinglan.

But after lunch, Xue Bai waited in the Prince's Villa for a long time, but she did not come back.

Until a middle-aged man wearing a red round neckline and narrow sleeves robe trotted over.

This man is about forty years old, with a waist and a slump in his back, an ugly appearance, bulging eyes, protruding forehead, curling teeth, and no need on his face... he should be a eunuch.

"I am the eunuch Li Jingzhong of the East Palace. Can you ask if it's Xue Langjun in front of me?"

Li Jingzhong's voice was strange, and he must have been castrated before the voice change period.

Xue Bai hurriedly bowed and said, "That's right."

Li Jingzhong stepped forward, approached Xue Bai, and whispered: "Li Linfu sent someone here, it was for visiting, but it was for searching."

Without waiting for Xue Bai to react, he raised his hand and said, "Please come here quickly."

They left the side hall and did not dare to walk to the front yard, but rushed to the back yard along the corridor.

When he arrived at the end of the corridor, Li Jingzhong looked down and saw Xue Bai and Qinglan's shoes were still left in the front yard. He hurriedly called a few little eunuchs to take off the boots and change them.

Xue Bai didn't say anything and took a look at the front yard.

Qinglan flattened her mouth before putting on the little eunuch's boots. Because the boots were bigger, they stumbled when walking.

After walking through the yard twice, I saw a carriage carrying water was installed beside the side door of the back yard. There were a large tank on it. There were several men dressed in slaves standing beside the carriage, all of whom were tall and strong.

Li Jingzhong took them to the edge of the tank and said, "Someone is watching outside, please feel wronged for a while. This tank is clean, the large water tank in the kitchen."

Xue Bai reluctantly went in and said, "We have evidence to prove the innocence of the Du family."

"Yes." Li Jingzhong said anxiously: "But where did this evidence come from? It can't be sent by the prince to get it. It has to be handed over to others to clear the injustice of the Du family. You have to hide it so that this evidence can be used."

"Where are the Du siblings?"
To be continued...
