After leaving Guo Liangdi's bedroom, the smile on Li Jiancheng's face suddenly disappeared.

He ordered Wei Ting: "Go and check, why Guo Liangdi got angry just now, who has left, who has met and what he did?

"After finding it, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Ting took the order and left.

Li Jiancheng was walking back to the main hall with thoughtful expressions.

In the past, because of Guo Xingfang's relationship and because Guo Liangdi is really charming, he met Guo Liangdi more often.

As he got more and more times, he understood Guo Liangdi more and more deeply, so he saw through Guo Liangdi's lying at a glance, and she was covering up her anger.

Why did she cover it up?

Are you afraid that he will doubt it?

So, what did she do and was afraid that he would doubt it?

Li Jiancheng thought about it and found that there were no disputes in the East Palace recently, and the only major event worth mentioning in Chang'an City is Lin Zhiwu's assassination.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng's heart sank. Could it be that Guo Liangdi did what Lin Zhiwu did?

If the Guo clan hadn't had some power, it would have been useful to him, otherwise he wouldn't have favored Guo Liangdi so much.

......

The next day, Wei Ting reported to Li Jiancheng: "Before Your Highness, only Dongmei had gone in. Not long after, after Dongmei came out, the sound of something falling came from inside.

"After that, Dongmei went to the kitchen and stayed in it for half an hour.

"I asked the people in the kitchen and they said that Dongmei was cooking for Guo Liangdi inside, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

"And the rest of the people in the yard are as usual, and they have never been out and there is nothing suspicious about it."

No suspicious?

Li Jiancheng felt suspicious. He was silent for a moment and ordered: "Go and catch Dongmei, scare her, and see what she did?"

Wei Ting's eyes flashed for a moment, and he didn't know what the Crown Prince was suspicious. He was confused, but he responded: "Yes, Crown Prince, I will do it now."

He found two palace maids to enter Guo Liangdi's palace, and when Dongmei was alone, he knocked Dongmei out.

......

Dongmei opened her eyes and felt her neck hurt so much. She was in a daze and finally remembered that she had been attacked from behind.

What a horrible thing it is to be attacked in the East Palace.

Fear hit her heart instantly, and Dongmei's body couldn't help but tremble, especially in a strange room, which was empty, so she became even more scared.

She didn't dare to scream or make noise, for fear that the bandits would kill her.

Suddenly, the door opened with a creaking sound, and she quickly looked at the door.

When she saw that the person coming was Wei Ting, she looked surprised: "Wei Weisu, why are you? Why are you tied up with me?"

Wei Ting closed the door and walked to her, looking fierce and fierce: "Tell me, what did Guo Liangdi ask you to do yesterday?"

Dongmei's heart skipped a beat and she replied calmly: "It's nothing, it's just like usual."

"It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin." Wei Ting took out a dagger and exuded murderous aura all over his body.

He gestured on Dongmei's face with a dagger: "I heard that women care more about their face than their lives. I wonder how many cuts I made on your face, can you still get married?"

Dongmei's face turned pale in an instant: "What are you...what are you going to do? I...I can warn you that I have been following Guo Liangdi since I was a child. If you dare to hurt me, Guo Liangdi will definitely not let you go.

"Even if you are the leader of the Left Guard, Guo Liangdi is deeply favored by His Highness the Crown Prince and has given birth to a son for His Highness. If she says something in front of the Crown Prince's Hall, your destiny will be out of order."

"Haha~" Wei Ting chuckled, "I ruined your appearance and sold you far away, or I might as well kill you and destroy the body.

"Do you think with my current status, will anyone know what I do?"

After the words came, Wei Ting raised the dagger in his hand high and then fell down.

"No, I'll say." Dongmei shouted in a hurry.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Wei Ting's eyes, so scared. If he had known this, he would not have taken that effort.

"If you want to say it, just say it quickly, I don't have much patience."

"Okay, I say, I say." Dongmei vomited out: "Yesterday, Liangdi asked me after she learned that Pingnan Hou was assassinated and injured, so she called me..."

After hearing what Dongmei said, Wei Ting was shocked. It turned out to be Guo Liangdi...

--------

That night, Li Jiancheng came to Guo Liangdi's bedroom: "You all go down."

When Guo Liangdi saw Li Jiancheng's stern face, she felt a little sad. She waved her hand to signal the palace servant to retreat, and greeted her with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is tired?

"Sit down quickly, I will press it for you."

"No need." Li Jiancheng avoided her hand and shouted out: "Bring people in."

Seeing Dongmei being taken in by two guards, Guo Liangdi felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Especially when Dongmei called her with a bitter face, she became even more sure of what she thought.

But she still pretended to be calm: "Your Highness, did Dongmei do something wrong? If she makes you angry, you will punish me, and I will never say anything."

Li Jiancheng did not answer her words, but sent the guards out first before speaking, "Dongmei, say."

Dongmei knelt in front of Guo Liangdi with tears in her voice: "Liaodi, I'm sorry to you, Your Highness already knows that you sent someone to assassinate Pingnan Hou..."

Guo Liangdi was stunned when she was struck by lightning.

"Last time you dealt with Princess Jinyang, I warned you to be more peaceful. You have acted without authorization in just a few days?"

Li Jiancheng asked sternly: "In your heart, what I, the prince, said has no prestige, right?

"Or, you are a slanderous person, but I just discovered it today?"

Guo Liangdi could no longer bear it and knelt down: "Your Highness calmed down. I am definitely not a slander, nor did I not take Your Highness's words seriously.

"I take every word Your Highness said to me to heart.

"It's just... the brother died tragically, but the murderer was at large and I was unwilling to accept it.

"Your Highness said that Princess Jinyang was useful to you, so I didn't attack her, but I wanted her to taste the pain of losing.

"I heard that the Marquis of Pingnan and Princess Jinyang met when they were young, and they were childhood sweethearts, so I thought that if the Marquis of Pingnan was injured, Princess Jinyang would definitely be in pain."

"You..." Li Jiancheng was both angry and speechless, pointing at her and unable to curse for a long time.

Guo Liangdi and Dongmei knelt on the ground, not daring to show off.

After a while, Li Jiancheng scolded: "Silly, do you only look at relationships and not to see whether it is beneficial to the East Palace?

"Then Lin Zhiwu is a genius who is unparalleled. Whether I ascend the throne now or in the future, he will be of great use to our dynasty.

"This person cannot be killed, nor can he be hurt.

"Fortunately he was not seriously injured this time, otherwise I would like to think that the Guo clan is good-looking."

Guo Liangdi sat dejectedly on the ground. Why would she get to the iron plate every time she wanted to help her brother avenge?

With so many pillars in the court, why does the Eastern Palace need the people close to Princess Jinyang and her?
