The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Li Lizhi's eyes were red as she said angrily,
"That damned Du He, he was only taught a lesson by me, yet he actually dared to take revenge on father and mother. Father, how could you let that Du He participate in the memorial? You should punish him!”
Li Er and Empress Zhangsun looked at each other and couldn't help but be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was obvious that their daughter still hadn't distinguished who was Du He and who was Li He.
"Are you sure you hit Du He?" Li Er muttered.”
Li Lizhi's tone was firm." Of course. I even asked for his name at that time. That person called Li He even pointed out who Du He was!”
"That's strange!"
"Why do I see Li He's eyes turning purple?" Li Er asked with a smile.”
Li Lizhi was speechless.
"Lizhi, you hit the wrong person," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.”
Impossible! Li Lizhi was in disbelief. Suddenly, the image of the smiling young man appeared in her mind. She widened her eyes and said in a trembling voice,"Could it be that Li He is Du He? I was actually hitting Li He? Du He, is he calling a deer a horse?"
"Yes, I am."
"Lizhi, you've been fooled by that kid." Li Er sighed.”
"How could he do this!"
" He's a censor!" Li Lizhi screamed." How could he do this? Doesn't he think that this is not what a gentleman should do?"”
Could that kid be considered a gentleman? Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could persuade her, he saw Li Lizhi running out with tears on her face.
Empress Zhangsun looked at her departing figure and said worriedly,""Second Brother, Lizhi won't go find trouble with Du He again, right?”
"I'm familiar with Lizhi's personality."
Li Er pondered for a while and said," She suffered a great loss from Du He once, so she will become more cautious. Moreover, it's getting late and the palace gate will be closed. Even if she wants to cause trouble for Du He, she will have to wait until tomorrow. Don't worry, I will find a few more people to help her tomorrow. I won't let Lizhi suffer."”
————
After leaving the palace, the sky had gradually turned dark.
Du He hummed a little tune and walked in front. Li He had a sad look on his face as he thought about what to do next.
"Imperial Censor Du, the Imperial Censorate is over here.”
When they reached the Imperial Censorate, Li He stopped in his tracks. Seeing that Du He was still walking forward, he quickly reminded her.
Du He tilted her head and looked at him. She raised her eyebrows and asked,"Are you staying here tonight? Aren't you going home?"
"This lowly official is a foreign official, so my home is not in the capital.”
Li He scratched his head and said awkwardly,""Moreover, the mansion in Chang 'an is too expensive. My annual salary is only so much, so I've been staying in the Imperial Censorate.”
Du He nodded in realization. She immediately raised her head to look at the sky and said,"It's getting late. I'll go back first. We'll meet in the palace courtyard tomorrow.”
"Yes!"
Li He said with a look of understanding.
When the two of them were in the Yin and Yang Hall, Li Er had asked them to deal with the matter of the imperial guards first. They did not have to attend the morning court tomorrow. Du He was also happy to have some peace. Only Li He knew. Li Er was afraid that Du He would be in the court tomorrow and there would be another report. Then, there would be no peace.
Li He watched his superior leave before entering the Imperial Censorate's courtyard. When he passed by the courtyard, he was shocked to find that the 500 imperial guards were still standing there.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Li He frowned.”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Li He in confusion. They didn't understand what he meant.
"Where are we going?" Tang Ze asked carefully.”
Li He suddenly understood and slapped his forehead in frustration. He had almost forgotten that these people were no longer Golden Guards, but Imperial Guards. Their daily accommodation and training had nothing to do with Golden Guards.
Wouldn't that cost more money? Li He was even more distressed.
Lin Feng's focus was not on this. He asked anxiously,"Censor Li, may I ask if you and Censor Du went to the palace today to visit that princess?”
Li He came back to his senses and nodded.”
Tang Ze was shocked.”
"Annoyed? Of course there is.”
Li He recalled what had happened and still felt his scalp tingle. He coughed lightly and said,""However, why don't you take a look at who the censor who went to the palace to report is? Although His Majesty is angry out of humiliation, our Censor Du is not to be trifled with.”
As he spoke, he told her about his participation in the Yin and Yang Palace.
Five hundred imperial guards surrounded him excitedly, listening to Li He's narration.
When they heard that Du He wasn't the ginseng princess, but the ginseng empress, they couldn't help but gasp.
And that sentence," It's the father's fault for not teaching the son, and it's the mother's fault for not teaching the daughter ", made everyone smile.
When they heard that the Emperor had punished himself by fasting for a day and that the Empress had punished herself by fasting for a meal, the 500 Imperial Guards were instantly filled with respect.
Of course, everyone knew that attending the memorial to the Emperor and Empress would not cause any harm to the royal family. It would only be embarrassing. However, they also knew that the royal family had always been willing to use a knife to cut their flesh rather than lose face.
What shocked everyone the most was Li Er's next reward!
Du He was rewarded with 500 pieces of silk and 200,000 yuan.!
There were 500 imperial guards under his command, but there was no official residence to work in. He was rewarded with an office residence in Chang 'an and given the name of the Imperial Governor's Mansion.？
And this Imperial Censor Li, he just went through the motions and got the position of the Chief Secretary of the Imperial Guards. This was a real promotion!
Li He looked at everyone's envious expressions and couldn't help but feel proud. He said confidently," Our Censor Du is a god who can see through everything and speak like a knife. Even His Majesty and the Empress have to take half a step back. Therefore, if we follow Censor Du, we can at least make a name for ourselves in Chang 'an!"”
"I'm completely convinced!"
"In the future, if Censor Du says he wants to go east, I will never go west!”
The 500 imperial guards were excited. They could not help but imagine themselves wearing the censor's uniform and wearing a saber on Chang 'an Street. They were filled with hope for the future.
Tang Ze was so excited that he clenched his fists. He turned to look at Lin Feng and saw that Lin Feng was giving him an encouraging look. He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Li He. He cupped his fists and said loudly,
" Censor Li, I have a grievance!!"
