After bidding farewell to Lin Zixuan, Li Er and the others returned to Chang 'an along the official road.
After walking for a while, they encountered Li Junxian and a large group of Thousand Bull Guards. They had come to find Li Er.
The ruler of a country had been lost for no reason. How could Zhangsun Wugou not be anxious?
He immediately sent people out to search.
Coincidentally, Li Junxian and the others had just arrived when they encountered Li Er.
Li Er found a random reason and explained a little before returning to the palace with the Thousand Bull Guards.
On the way back to the city, Fang Xuanling also woke up.
Cheng Yaojin briefly explained what had happened in the forest to Fang Xuanling.
After Fang Xuanling heard this, he sighed." Fortunately, the divine child helped us. Otherwise, our lives would have been over.”
"Where is His Majesty? Is His Majesty alright? I'm going to ask for forgiveness.”
How could he not apologize?
His Majesty was in a life-and-death situation. He did not help at all and fainted first.
This was called disregarding the king, and it was a great crime to be beheaded.
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand." Forget it. His Majesty doesn't have the time to care about you now."”
"Eh? What happened?" Fang Xuanling asked doubtfully.
"Take a look for yourself." Cheng Yaojin pointed at Li Er.
At this moment, Li Er was riding a horse, looking down at the conch flute in his hand, in a daze.
Fang Xuanling was puzzled." What's that?”
"The conch flute, given to Your Majesty by the divine child.”Yuchi Gong replied.
"Eh? Wasn't it just a flute? Why is Your Majesty so engrossed in reading?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Hehe, don't underestimate this flute. There's a big story behind it.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"What story? Is there anything else?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong looked at each other. Then, Cheng Yaojin whispered into Fang Xuanling's ear.
Fang Xuanling's eyes widened." No way!" How could there be such a coincidence in this world? They are really His Majesty's…"
"Shh, keep your voice down." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly stopped Fang Xuanling.
"It's just a guess now. We're not sure yet.”
"But…I don't think so. The divine child said that their mother's name is Mu Zile, and she's not close to our Princess Chang Le.”
Mu Zile? Fang Xuanling frowned, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.
Fang Xuanling wasn't simple. He was extremely smart. That guy's hair was all empty. Even the soles of his feet would tremble when he slapped his forehead.
They were all well-informed.
He instantly realized that there was something fishy about this.
Cheng Yaojin also noticed it and asked softly,""Old Fang, did you think of something?”
Fang Xuanling waved his hand." I can't say, I can't say."”
"Hey, you. I'm telling you this because I want to hear your guess.”
"You're good. You even sold a lawsuit. If you don't tell me, I'll make a move.”Cheng Yaojin glared at Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and rolled his eyes at Cheng Yaojin." You're a Duke now."”
"Why are you still so reckless?"
"Aiya, Old Fang, just say it. There are no outsiders. Don't you trust us?”Yuchi Gong was also anxious.
" Sigh…" Fang Xuanling sighed." It's hard to say.”
"I don't have any evidence, so I'm just guessing.”
" You can guess. Tell me quickly." Cheng Yaojin urged.
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment before saying," I'm just guessing. Don't spout nonsense in front of His Majesty."”
"We're not stupid. How can we say such things? If he couldn't explain it clearly, he would lose his head.”
"We know the severity of the situation.”
"Yes." "This matter is very complicated." Fang Xuanling nodded.”
"But I believe that there are rules to everything.”
"Think about it. If what the divine child said is true, then the golden branch and jade leaves she mentioned must be Princess Chang Le. Only Princess Chang Le has been to the people.”
Cheng Yaojin frowned." You're right, but you can't just say that Princess Chang Le is the mother of the divine child."”
"Name? Her name had nothing to do with Princess Chang Le.”
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes." Have you ever thought that Mu Zile is an alias?”
It had to be explained here that in ancient times, people with status would use an alias when they went to the folk. Moreover, in ancient times, people usually used an alias with a metaphor. It was not like in modern times, where an alias had nothing to do with the person.
The simplest metaphor for an alias had to be related to one's real name.
Of course, there were also more profound ones, such as the alias that hid one's identity.
Thus, when Fang Xuanling heard this name, he immediately thought of an alias.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up." That makes sense. Old Fang, continue!"”
"If it's really an alias, then Mu Zi's name is very simple. Think about it, what kind of name does Mu Zi come up with?" Fang Xuanling muttered.”
"Li!" Cheng Yaojin was shocked and widened his eyes." Is it really the Princess of Changle?”
"I'm not sure yet." Fang Xuanling frowned." I haven't thought of the word 'joy'.”
"If we can decipher this word, the answer will be obvious.”
Cheng Yaojin looked at Fang Xuanling and smiled.""Old Fang, are you hiding something?”
"How could a smart person like you not guess?”
Although Cheng Yaojin was a boorish man, he was extremely meticulous and good at observing people's hearts.
He had guessed correctly. Fang Xuanling had another guess that he hadn't mentioned.
However, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to say it out loud. If anyone else heard it, it would be a grave crime.
"What are you muttering about?"
At this moment, Li Er's voice sounded.
Cheng Yaojin and the other two were shocked and quickly said perfunctorily,""It's nothing, Your Majesty. Lord Fang is awake. Let's ask him if he's feeling unwell.”
Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling." You're awake, my dear. Is everything alright?"”
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine and I couldn't share your worries. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
"Forget it. Fear is human instinct. I won't blame you.”
Li Er waved his hand, then narrowed his eyes and shot out a cold light." My three beloved ministers, I don't want anyone to know what happened today. Do you understand?”
Cheng Yaojin and the other two hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed." We understand."”
"Mm, it's getting late. You should return to the residence. Don't miss tomorrow's morning court session.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Er looked deeply at Cheng Yaojin and the other two before turning around and returning to the palace under the escort of the Thousand Bull Guards.
Cheng Yaojin and the other two looked at each other and broke out in cold sweat.
At the same time, they were also guessing if Li Er's warning had also connected to something.
