"See the Grandma!" Li Zhang quickly stepped into the Chuigong Hall, and then bowed to Liu E who was reviewing the memorials.

"Did you go to see Yelu Yanshou yesterday?" Liu E asked without raising her head at this time. Liu E had to deal with government affairs and was often incompatible with the ministers in the court. However, when facing Li Zhang, she always went straight and rarely took any turns. This kind of treatment was not even Zhao Zhen.

"Yes!" Li Zhang replied without any hesitation. Such things can't be hidden from others' eyes. You can know just by looking at them, so there is no need for him to hide them.

Seeing Li Zhang admitting, Liu E finally put down the pen in her hand, then raised her head and stared at him and said, "You went there, and then Yelu Yanshou suddenly changed his attitude, and even lied that the princess had been found and left Tokyo early this morning. I'm very curious, what did you do, and actually changed Yelu Yanshou's attitude so much?"

"Why is the eldest lady so sure what I did? Maybe the princess of the Liao Kingdom really found it, so Yelu Yanshou felt ashamed and had no shame to stay there?" Li Zhang smiled bitterly and asked back. Although he knew that he could not hide it from Liu E's eyes, the other party was too sure, right?

"Hmph, the imperial court secretly used so many people, and several yamen were almost driven crazy, but they didn't even find anyone. Moreover, yesterday, no one else had visited the Liao Dynasty mission except you. How could he find the princess? So this matter must be inseparable from you!" Liu E saw that Li Zhang wanted to argue, and she snorted coldly.

Seeing that Liu E was so sure, Li Zhang had no intention of making any arguments, so he nodded and said, "The Grandmaster guessed it well. It was indeed because I persuaded Yelu Yanshou yesterday, so he left in a hurry today!"

"Oh, then I really want to know what you said to Yelu Yanshou, and even told him not to leave Tokyo City like this?" Liu E also moved her body at this time, changed to a more comfortable sitting position and asked Li Zhang.

"Empress, this matter has been resolved, and Yelu Yanshou will never come back, and the Liao Kingdom will not know that the princess had disappeared in Tokyo. You might as well just pretend that she didn't know about it. Why do you have to ask the bottom of it?" Li Zhang said carefully again with a bitter face. If possible, he really didn't want to explain this matter.

"I don't like being kept in the dark, and I don't like the people around me that have any little secrets hidden from me!" Liu E once again expressed her attitude.

Seeing this, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Some people believed in the life creed of "rarely confused", but some people like to ask everything clearly. For example, Liu E, when Li Zhang met such a person, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

"Okay, since the eldest lady wants to know, then I will tell you clearly, the Princess of Liao is at my house!" Li Zhang spread his hands helplessly and said the truth.

Li Zhang had thought of many reasons before, and wanted to deceive Liu E, but later he discovered that lies were lies, especially for a smart woman like Liu E. Even if she could deceive her for a while, she would be exposed sooner or later. After all, Yan Niang lived in his house, and this matter was not a private matter, but a state affairs related to the diplomatic relations between Song and Liao countries. If Li Zhang lied to Liu E on such a thing, with her suspicious nature, it would be difficult for her to gain her trust in the future.

"What? It's really you who hijacked the princess of Liao?" Liu E couldn't help but slammed the table when she heard Li Zhang's words. Before, Yelu Yanshou said that Li Zhang had hijacked the princess, and they all looked at it as a joke, but they never dreamed that the joke was real?

"Master, I'm wronged. Others were not present that day, but you were there that day. You know how many people I have under me. Do you think you can snatch the princess from the Liao delegation protected by hundreds of people?" Li Zhang immediately shouted injustice, his face full of grievances. This is not pretending, but really grievances.

Liu E was stunned when she heard Li Zhang's words. Then she calmed down and thought about it. She felt that Li Zhang had no such strength at all. What's more, he was a child, and hijacking the princess of the Liao Kingdom was of no use except causing him a huge trouble.

"What the hell is going on? Why is the princess of Liao in your house? Tell me in detail!" Liu E immediately ordered again. She must figure it out, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night.

Li Zhang did not hide it at the moment, starting from when he found Yan Niang hid in Huiweizhai, until yesterday when he went to see Yelu Yanshou and persuaded him to take a step back. Liu E also listened very seriously and would interrupt Li Zhang from time to time to ask a few questions, mainly about the struggles in Liao. However, Li Zhang only heard some of these mentioned by Yan Niang, and I don’t know how credible it is?

"That's how it is. I was really unjustly killed. I was forced to board the same boat as Yelu Yanshou. I had no choice but to make this decision!" Li Zhang finally smiled bitterly. The reason why he confessed to Liu E was actually a bet. Now it depends on whether Liu E would protect him?

After hearing this, Liu E was silent for a while. Finally, she finally breathed a long sigh and said with a smile on her face: "Yes, you didn't disappoint me at all, but it's fine if you tell me about this. You must not let others know, especially the ministers in the court, otherwise if they make a fuss, I will not be able to protect you by then!"

As soon as Liu E said something, Li Zhang was relieved. He bet right that Liu E was indeed aiming at him, and through this matter, he would further gain Liu E's trust, and at the same time, he did not have to worry about any more trouble in this matter in the future.

"Thank you, Grandma, I know the importance!" Li Zhang saluted Liu E again. Although he often saluted Liu E, he was sincere this time, because through this incident, he finally confirmed that Liu E did treat him as his nephew.

"Well, although you concealed something this time, you helped the court solve a problem. It's a pity that this matter cannot be made public, and I can't reward you either!" Liu E nodded when she heard Li Zhang's words, and she was still very relieved to Li Zhang.

"You are polite, sharing the worries of the country is my duty, but what should the princess of Liao do? It's not a solution to always keep it in my mansion?" Li Zhang didn't care about the reward, but that Yan Niang was a hot potato, so he asked Liu E to solve this problem at this time.

"This is not something the court can manage. After all, her identity is too sensitive. If the court arranges her, if the Liao Kingdom finds out in the future, it will probably cause greater trouble. And since she took the initiative to find you, you might as well be responsible to the end. Anyway, your family doesn't lack this food!" Liu E suddenly smiled at this time, and she didn't want to take over the trouble of Yan Niang.

"I'm scarce, why don't I have a shortage? My family is poor, and it's not easy to support a family. Now there are more people, and I don't dare to eat at home anymore. I go to the palace to have a free meal every day." Li Zhang also acted as a scoundrel at this time. In fact, he knew that Liu E would definitely not take over Yan Niang, but at least he could give some money and food, at least he didn't have to let him raise a person in vain.

"Then you can continue to eat free meals in the palace. There is no shortage of you in the palace!" Liu E said unmoved. It seemed that she was determined not to care about Yan Niang's life or death. In fact, a princess of an enemy country with no value, Song Dynasty did not need to spend money to support her.

Hearing Liu E's words, Li Zhang couldn't help but show a resentful expression. Liu E was unwilling to take responsibility. It seemed that he had to find a way to raise Yan Niang in trouble.

In the afternoon, Li Zhang returned home exhausted. Although he was very tired, Yan Niang's matter was finally resolved. Yelu Yanshou left, and Liu E also protected herself after knowing the truth. This made Li Zhang feel that nothing was wrong and even ate half a bowl of rice during dinner.

"Bring it!" Just after dinner, Yan Niang found Li Zhang and said.

"What?" Li Zhang said half-lying on the chair.

"Don't pretend to be confused, where is my Yingluo?" Yan Niang said angrily at this time. When Li Zhang left this morning, she specially asked for something that could prove her identity, and she didn't bring anything when she ran away. This string of Yingluo is also the most important thing for her, and it is also the only thing that can prove her identity.

"Oh~, I'll help you with that Yingluo for the time being!" Li Zhang said bluntly.

"Shameless, that's obviously my thing, why should you take it away?" Yan Niang couldn't help but say even more annoyed when she heard Li Zhang's words. That was her favorite thing, and it was her dowry, so it was naturally even more impossible for others to take it away easily.

"It's your thing, but you have no place to go now. I want to provide you with accommodation and food and drink. These are all for money. If you can take out the money, I will return the Yingluo to you immediately!" Li Zhang spread his hands and said again. If Liu E doesn't have money, he can only squeeze him from Yan Niang.

"Yingluo is a priceless treasure. You just use it to my accommodation?" Yan Niang's temper immediately burst out. She was defeated everywhere in Li Zhang's hands. She could have pretended to be pitiful before, but after finding that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, she gradually revealed her true nature. You must know that the Khitan women are not as weak as the Song Dynasty women.

"Of course I know Yingluo is valuable, but you have nowhere to go now and can only live in my house. And this is not a year or two. At least you have to raise you until you get married. However, with your temper, you may not be able to marry in this life. Maybe I will support you for the rest of my life. This is not a small amount. I feel that this business is losing money now!" Li Zhang said again without hesitation.
