  Chapter 397 Dry mixed kidney flower noodles (3)

  Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, but it is so lively... Wen Mingtang thought for a while, then shook his head, and said to Tang Yuan and A Bing: "It's too late, go back!"

  If something happened to Princess Liyang, she is an orphan, powerless, and was targeted by Princess Liyang before, so she might be angered for showing up at the scene.

   During the years in Ye Ting, Wen Mingtang has seen many such things. Sometimes, even if you did nothing wrong, if you happen to be seen by that nobleman who is in a bad mood, you may be angered and suffer, and even lose your life.

  I felt a lot of emotion about how many thousands of years have passed between Darong and modern society, and sometimes there is no reason for such things. Therefore, it would be safer to go back to sleep and wait until the next day... Thinking about it, with the level of "gossip" of Chang'an people on such lively events, they can also find out about Princess Liyang.

  …

Wen Mingtang's guess was correct, because it was too late to go back, the three of them slept until the afternoon of the second day before waking up, yawned and washed up, and the two of them, Tangyuan and Bing, went to the kitchen to make lunch Only then did Wen Mingtang open the door of the Yuan family's house, and saw a few neighbors who had just had lunch basking in the sun outside while chatting about yesterday's events.

"...The one who fell in front of the Star Picking Tower was none other than the one who came to see off Lao Yuan two days ago..." An aunt was talking to several neighbors, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wen Mingtang open the door, her expression seemed horrified With a jump, she stopped the sound immediately, then squeezed out a smile, and greeted her: "Master Wen is up!"

Wen Mingtang nodded, and said with a smile as if he hadn't heard their gossip, "I went to bed late yesterday, and I just woke up now." He paused, and then said, "I just heard that Auntie is What are you talking about about the Star Picking Tower and Furong Garden?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people froze. Although they couldn't bear to "discuss the excitement in Chang'an City", they also knew that there were some things that could not be said in front of Master Wen. After all, the person who died was the Yamen of Dali Temple. adults.

So when asked by Wen Mingtang, the aunt came back to her senses, coughed dryly, and covered it up: "Yesterday, a princess heard that when she was going to pay her respects in the Furong Garden in the middle of the night, she fell off the rockery and fell. When it came out, it was bloody, and I don't know if it was dead."

The master Wen on the opposite side seemed to be in the interest of chatting, and asked curiously: "It's so good, why did you climb the rockery? Is the Gong house of the nobleman in Furong Garden different from the one I waited for, built on the rockery?" Can't make it?"

As soon as the words came out, some neighbors couldn't help but interjected: "It's probably doing something else under the guise of showing respect. I heard that the princess also stole something from the princess, and she was in the Furong Garden yesterday After tracking it down to midnight, the Princess wanted to pay her respects, so... tsk tsk, maybe she took the imperial gift from others, and was afraid of being found, so she wanted to find a chance to climb a rockery and escape."

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang raised his eyebrows, said "Oh", and said "So that's the case", then sighed: "I thought that the princess is not short of gold, silver, treasures and jewelry, but I didn't expect to steal other people's things Woolen cloth!"

"Who says it's not?" sighed an aunt who took two bites of a baked sweet potato in her hand. It's really enviable to watch the days, but she is not satisfied! She even steals other people's things... Hey, it's all right now, I don't know what happened if I fell down."

"With their identities, the doctor who treated her must be the best imperial doctor in the imperial medical office. There are all kinds of ginseng and ganoderma. Compared with ordinary people, there must be many people who pulled her back from Lord Yan. It’s been a while since I’ve been alive and kicking again.” A neighbor said, “I’d better stop worrying about other people’s business and take care of myself. The restaurant where my kid works can’t keep going, and I don’t know where to find work after this year!”

   I can't bear the curiosity in my heart. I will talk about major events in Chang'an City in my daily chat, but in the end, I often go back to my own life, and Shengdou Xiaomin's daily life is like this!

Wen Mingtang looked at the neighbors who were still talking about the fall of Princess Liyang, and when he thought about the takeaway stall of the public kitchen, he felt a little depressed, and when he was absent-mindedly responding to the chatting of the neighbors, Hearing the crackling sound of fireworks and firecrackers coming from the alley not far away, she was in a daze, remembering that today is the seventh day of the lunar new year, and she and Liang Hongjin had made an appointment to meet at Tongmingmen later today to celebrate Zhao Sishan. The palace is getting ready.

  There are too many things going on these days, and Wen Mingtang's mind is in turmoil. Fortunately, the sound of crackling firecrackers reminded her, Wen Mingtang came back to his senses, greeted the neighbors, and returned to the house.

  After hastily eating a bowl of scallion oil noodles with meatball and vegetable soup, Wen Mingtang talked to the glutinous rice balls, left Yuan's house, and then went straight to Tongming Gate.

By the time we arrived at Tongming Gate, it was Shen time, and there was still half an hour before the appointment to meet her and Liang Hongjin. Wen Mingtang touched and walked all the way, his stomach was half empty, and he took out from his bosom the food that was taken in Qujiang yesterday. Snacks bought at a snack shop, I took a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into my mouth. It was sweet in the mouth, but because of the dense layer of powdered sugar sprinkled on the outside of the preserved fruit, it became sour after sipping for a while, but it was not purely sour, sour There is also a hint of sweetness in the mouth.

Wen Mingtang sipped the candied fruit, looked around, and saw a small restaurant not far away had set up two tables outside the restaurant, and set up a temporary tea stall, presumably to take advantage of the first lunar month, to do the business of visiting relatives before the palace gate .

   Not wanting to be poisoned by the sun above his head, Wen Mingtang walked over, ordered a pot of tea and sat down, planning to wait until Liang Hongjin came out before going there.

When the tea came up, Wen Mingtang poured himself a cup of tea. When he was about to enter, he saw a group of people coming out of the Tongming Gate. The well-dressed, official robes of court officials did not seem to be court officials, but they were all dressed in luxury. The appearance of clothes is not ordinary people.

Wen Mingtang only glanced at it, but didn't take a closer look. When he was about to look back, he heard an older man say: "I can't write two Li characters in one stroke. Liyang and Xingkang are both members of the clan. Even if there is some nonsense among the younger daughters, she will never make fun of such things. Xingkang also said that yesterday he took away the imperial gift and let Li Yang stay up all night to prepare. Who knew that Li Yang would be afraid to think Do you want to borrow Gong to go out of the Furong Garden?"

The one who was standing aside listening to the elder was none other than the father of Princess Liyang, King Liyang. At this time, his white and fat face was obviously gloomy, as if he didn't care about the elder's words. .

"Besides, Li Yang is not a frail woman, but it's not that she has never climbed a rockery. The imperial physician at the Imperial Medical Office also said that it was because of the hidden weapon injury on her leg. It was obviously plotted by someone, and it has nothing to do with Xingkang. relationship." That elder seemed to be a member of the clan, and was trying to mediate between the two parties, "In my opinion, the key is to find the thief who plotted against Li Yang, and that is the real culprit who caused Li Yang to become paralyzed right now. !"

   Princess Liyang is paralyzed? Wen Mingtang, who was holding the cup and was about to pour the tea into his mouth, was taken aback by this sentence, and almost spilled the tea in his hand!

   Before she could react, what the elder said next made Wen Mingtang startled suddenly, and a bad feeling came to his heart.
