After a few days, Yuan Tiangang came back to report his life in Tai Chi Palace.

"Report to your Majesty, Mrs. Peony has not been found."

"What does it mean to not find it? Bad people are full of eyeliners all over the world. After so long, why are there no news about individuals?"

Yuan Tiangang replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, there is news, but no one found it. The latest news is that Mrs. Mudan's whereabouts are like this. After leaving Chang'an, she went to Luoyang. When Li Mu was in danger, she went to Dingxiang. When the Tang Dynasty and the Turks formed an alliance, someone discovered her traces, and then she returned to Luoyang and lost her trace again."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "So, she met Li Mu during the alliance?"

"I cannot be sure." Yuan Tiangang said in a singular manner: "I dare not speculate randomly, and I cannot be sure of the news I have received."

Li Shimin's expression became even colder, and he was silent for a while, and said, "You continue talking."

"It can be concluded that Luoyang City should have a force that is enough to block the investigation of bad people without knowing it. Combined with my years of exploration of Jisitang, it can be basically concluded that this force in Luoyang City should be Jisitang's people."

"You mean, Mrs. Peony is indeed related to Zhisitang?"

"I dare not say such things. Now no one is found and there is no evidence." Yuan Tiangang threw the ball back again. Li Shimin glanced at him and said, "Continue to talk."

"I followed Your Majesty's will and met Wang Gui, and also met the man who claimed to be his 'uncle'. I ordered someone to break his legs and ask him to beg for food near the Duke of Ju's mansion. Mrs. Tang found him when she left the mansion."

"how?"

Yuan Tiangang paused for a moment and said, "Mrs. Tang has given relief."

"Okay," Li Shimin's expression became colder: "Okay, okay! The woman I like is from Zhisitang, and the nephew I value is... OK, I also claim to be able to know people, okay! I am blind!"

"deliver an imperial order!"

Li Shimin cried out and Eunuch Gao knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

"What did you say? Are you going to interfere in politics?" Li Shimin's eyes were like an eagle, staring at Eunuch Gao, who stood on the ground with his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am not for Li Mu, but for Your Majesty. I am waiting by Your Majesty day and night, and I know that Your Majesty values ​​Li Mu. Even if you have Madam Mu, Your Majesty can forgive him. Now, it's just a false charge. How can Your Majesty kill Li Mu? There is no evidence, Your Majesty, no evidence! What if it's fake? Will Your Majesty kill Li Mu for life?!"

"I regret..." Li Shimin's eyes returned to a hint of clarity, and he was silent for a long time. He said to Yuan Tiangang: "Continue to check, I will take action on Li Mu's biological mother, and I will wait for a few more days."

"I understand."

Yuan Tiangang turned and left, Li Shimin helped Eunuch Gao up and said, "Gao Guan, you have done a good job. If you really have nothing to do with Li Mu, I will tell him to ask him to repay you as a favor."

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "I am old and half-dead, what reward do I need? Li Mu is a rare talent. With his assistance, Your Majesty will be able to show his heroic plan. In this way, I will get what I want." After a moment of stuttering, Eunuch Gao said, "There is one more thing that I want to tell you to know about Your Majesty."

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty, the factory guards recently received a news that it was also related to Li Mu... but it was not related to him, but to his second wife. The factory guards found out that after Silla envoy Jin Chunqiu arrived in Chang'an, they kept searching, hoping to find a Silla maid who sold from Silla to Chang'an. What's even more strange is that Goguryeo was also paying attention to this matter. The people below felt it was strange, so they investigated it."

"What? Is it related to Li Mu's second wife?"

"Yes, Li Mu's second wife should be the one who both sides are looking for."

Li Shimin frowned and thought to himself: "The King of Zhenping in Silla has no son. If nothing unexpected happens, the throne should have fallen on his brothers. He asked the envoy to come and find someone. What do you want to do? Do you have an illegitimate child? But Li Mu's second wife is a woman. Does he want his daughter to inherit the throne?"

"Tomorrow, let the Ministry of Rites send someone to ask, I will report it to me."

"promise."

...

After the Imperial Guard took over the prison of Dali Temple, no one came to the door anymore. Li Mu finally lived the life that the prisoner should have lived, but he was not without relief, because the person in charge of defense was Cheng Yaojin, and he would come to Li Mu if he had nothing to do. The two of them had a jar of wine and a bag of dried meat, and they were drinking nonsense while talking nonsense. It was very interesting. No matter how boring it, they would grab the prison head and the prison guards, and four of them played mahjong. Five copper coins played, and the winning or losing a day was no more than two jin of money. The prison heads and prison guards were also quite good, and they could still afford it.

"It's been several days. Will Your Majesty kill me?" Li Mu made a two-tube, and was 'eated' by Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin made another 30,000 yuan and said, "Who are you asking? I've been watching you here and haven't been to court."

"Uncle Cheng, who did you hurt me?"

"Haha," Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Although I didn't go to court, I still have some intent. This matter is so unavoidable to do with that old boy Wang Gui."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "How can I see it?"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and the prison guards were as if they were amnesty and quickly left with the money. They didn't dare to listen. It would be awesome if they heard too much and caused trouble and were silenced.

Cheng Yaojin leaned into Li Mu's ear and said, "Someone saw Yuan Tiangang go to Wang Gui's mansion and then brought out an old man. He asked someone to break the old man's legs and throw them to Tang Jian's door. When your mother went out, she saw this old man, and found a doctor and returned the money."

"Although I don't know what the situation is, I can guess it must be related to you." Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed with cleverness: "What is that old talisman Yuan Tiangang doing? If I don't say it, you can guess it. Why didn't he look for others to look for Wang Gui? Isn't the reason coming out?"

"How did my uncle know Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "If it were outside, I naturally didn't know, but I, Cheng, is also responsible for the defense of Chang'an City. The four gates and patrols are all my subordinates. I know that some news is not normal?" He sighed and said, "There have been a turmoil these days. The news I received is that someone said you are related to Jisitang Li Mu. Do you know Jisitang?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "I seem to have heard of it a little when I was chasing the valley killer."

"Ji Sitang is an organization formed by some people who support Prince Yin and still remained obsessed with him after his death. The folk son who aims to support Prince Yin's son to compete with Your Majesty is a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh." Cheng Yaojin said seriously: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, but in this matter, he is injuring his virtues. Although I don't know the detailed information, I have heard that in recent years, Your Majesty has always been better than to let go of the matter of tracing his son."

"So, you said, can you turn bad luck into good luck this time?" Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said, "It's hard to say!"

Li Mu knew in his heart that he was not Sun's biological son, but he never thought that he would be involved with Li Jiancheng. He pretended to be ignorant and said, "Uncle, what does this have to do with me? You have met my mother, and I also have a father, why does it have something to do with Prince Yin?"

"Prince Yin is showing mercy everywhere."

Li Mu immediately became serious and said, "Uncle, I don't want to turn against you! My family is in Mayi!"

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "Your kid's temper is so anxious. You will turn against me if I say anything? What I mean is that Prince Yin is merciless, not necessarily your mother. What I mean is, have you ever thought that you were not born to your mother?"

"What?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Mu and said word by word: "I didn't think so when no one said it, but someone said that. I've looked at you these days, and the more I looked at you, the more I felt like Prince Hidden. You are quite similar to him when he was young."

Li Mu looked speechless and suddenly said angrily: "If your Majesty wants to kill me, just kill me. Why do you have to find so many reasons for me? If I have built a son, I will try my best not to save his life? When I am in the valley, would you please let those assassins kill him?"

Li Mu said angrily: "If I had known Your Majesty that was your Majesty, I would not have stayed in Chang'an if I said anything."

Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so angry, you are not an emperor, and you don't understand the emperor's worries. If you change your position, you might do this too."

"What's the meaning?"

Cheng Yaojin spread his hands and said, "Who told you to do everything so beautifully? You can make money, you can reform it, go out and solve the Western Turks' affairs. Can Your Majesty not be afraid? What if you are really the son of Prince Yin? How can the prince be your opponent when he is young?"

Li Mu said speechlessly: "Uncle, you know me. Do I seem to be an emperor at all? Is it ridiculous to say that I want to rebel?

"It's ridiculous or not, it's not what you said. It's useless to say anyone, it depends on what Your Majesty thinks." Cheng Yaojin threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth and said while chewing it: "Judged by my experience of following Your Majesty for many years, you may not die, at most it's a confinement...unless Your Majesty finds the evidence,"

"So, Your Majesty is reluctant to kill me?"

"I don't dare to protect you. If His Majesty is willing to give up, he will kill you, not necessarily."

Li Mu lay down, looked at the roof, and muttered: "I still find it ridiculous."

"Where is nothing that cannot be ridiculous when it comes to royal affairs?" Cheng Yaojin smiled like a wise elder, but with his face full of flesh, it looked a little scary.

Li Mu had nothing to say and sighed.

Cheng Yaojin had nothing to say, and drank on his own.

Half an hour later, Cheng Yaojin went on patrol, leaving Li Mu alone.

He chewed the jerky meat, a little confused.

...

He is not afraid of stealing, but is afraid of thinking about it. If someone intends to harm others, he will definitely be able to succeed when he finds an opportunity. Three days later, Yuan Tiangang learned from the maid next to Sun that Sun had spoken in a sleep more than once, and said that Li Mu was not his biological son.

Then there was new news that Li Mu's old appearance was very similar to that of a bad person who had been pursuing him. A concubine of Li Jiancheng was once very similar.

After verified Wang Ou's identity, he was the saint of the snake spirit. The snake spirit had already been verified three years ago and had a close relationship with Jisitang.

The news was posted on Li Shimin's desk every day, like death talismans, oppressing Li Shimin's nerves. Although there was still no evidence, the evidence in front of him could no longer be ignored.

"Great official, please tell Yuan Tiangang not to send him to me anymore." Li Shimin paused for a moment and said, "Follow me to go to the prison."

Eunuch Gao was stunned for a moment and said 'No'.

Li Shimin brought only Eunuch Gao to the prison of Dali Temple.

Li Mu was having a meal when he saw Li Shimin coming, and snapped his fingers and asked the prison guard to bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a wine cup. Li Shimin sat opposite Li Mu, and the two looked at each other. Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin without saying anything, and Li Shimin didn't say anything either. Li Mu lowered his head and continued to eat. Li Shimin looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, saying, "Li Mu, do you know that you didn't have a child with your mother?"

"Whatever Your Majesty says is what you want. I have said that if the king wants his minister to die, he has to die."

"Wang Ou is the saint of the snake spirit, and the snake spirit has a close relationship with the Jiesitang."

Li Mu looked up at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, you're good to target me alone. There's no need to target a woman, right? She didn't do anything wrong? I just don't like you, is this a sin?"

"Li Mu, I have no intention of this. Snake Spirit and Zhisi Hall are all." Li Shimin wanted to explain a few more words, but suddenly felt that there was nothing to explain. No matter what he said, judging from Li Mu's attitude, he also believed that he was taking revenge.

Li Shimin pursed his lips and said, "I won't explain to you. I'm here to tell you. Li Mu, I can't let you go out at least until I investigate it clearly."

"Whatever Your Majesty says is what you want to say." Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and said, "But I want to ask: Your Majesty, have I made any contribution to the country and country of the Tang Dynasty?"

"have."

"Apart from the matter of Ou, do you have anything to do to your Majesty?"

"No."

"Well, can your Majesty agree?"

"explain."

"I am dead. Please swear to your Majesty, let my family go and send all my family to Dingxiang, and let my brother take care of you."

Li Shimin was silent for a while and said, "I don't mean to kill you!"

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin without arguing with him, and repeated it again, saying, "Your Majesty, can you agree?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promised you."

Li Mu stood up and left the table, knelt on the ground: "My minister Li Mu, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
