Chapter 8 Slapping the Ninth Prince(1/2)
Li Chen's words made Li Xuan pale.
He subconsciously said, "I, I have not plotted against you. My mother and the teacher agreed to me to see it. They said that I would learn about state affairs in advance..."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Xian, who was kneeling beside him, was bleeding profusely, almost spit out an old blood.
Why is this ninth prince so useless? He said such words easily?
"Study state affairs in advance?"
Li Chen grabbed Li Xuan's handle and his voice became two points higher, "What kind of state affairs are you studying in advance? Do you want your father to die and then take over the palace and replace him?"
Li Xuan finally realized what he was saying.
He looked pale and knelt down with a thud, panicking, "Second brother, I, I don't mean that..."
Seeing that the situation became even more serious, Li Xuan's personal maid secretly withdrew from the Silijian and rushed towards the Queen's harem.
"Does it mean that I will settle the score with you later."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and scolded the eunuch of Sanbao, "Are you deaf? Or do you want me to do it yourself?"
When the eunuch Sanbao immediately stood up and ordered two Jinyiwei, dragged Wei Xian away.
The wound on Wei Xian's face was still there, and the blood flowed out for no money, he was dragged away on the ground, leaving a long blood stain under his body. He only heard him screaming: "Crown Prince, spare me, I'll do it too
Just obey orders and spare me!"
Wei Xian's voice gradually faded away and disappeared.
Li Chen stepped into the hall of the Silijian with an expressionless face.
At this time, a group of eunuchs belonging to the Silijian were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
They saw with their own eyes that Wei Xian, who was talking to the Sili Supervisor and was extremely arrogant and domineering, was dragged down by Li Chen in a few words. At this time, he was even more frightened and afraid and dared not look at Li Chen.
"Three treasures."
Li Chen shouted lightly.
The eunuch Sanbao immediately knelt beside Li Chen and waited for his death to fall.
"Who in this lie sect is not a member of Wei Xian who can replace Wei Xian's position?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sanbao took a deep breath and said carefully: "Report to the Crown Prince, this matter is too big, and I dare not speak nonsense."
"Aren't you just planning to eliminate Wei Xian by borrowing my hands? I have already slaughtered that castrated man. Why don't you take the opportunity to get it in one step?" Li Chen said lightly.
This sentence made Sanbao feel cold from his heart to his hands and feet in an instant.
He immediately lay on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, and his reputation was everywhere in the court and the civil and military officials saw him, who were both afraid and hated by him, and at this time he was as humble as an old dog.
"Your Highness, I dare not..."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you more. Remember, I only like loyal and useful dogs. Otherwise, Wei Xian's fate will be easily copied to you."
"The civil and military officials in the court are afraid of you because the father gave you power. You are a eunuch and will always be an eunuch. Your power comes from the royal family. Now that the father has given me the power to supervise the country, I will have it.
You can do your own things that determine your life and death.”
"You will present a list of people who are still available in the Silijian. This palace will select a new eunuch. The others, who think they are all Wei Xian's accomplices, so let's go with Wei Xian."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he ignored the eunuchs of the Silijian who were crying and begging for mercy in the palace, but looked at Li Xuan who was standing at the door and trembling.
"Come here."
When Li Xuan heard Li Chen's call, he walked carefully to Li Chen.
Before he could speak, Li Chen raised his hand and slapped it on Li Xuan's face.
Bang.
A crisp and loud slap made Li Xuan's white and tender face instantly red and swollen, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
The slap even suppressed the eunuchs' crying and begging for mercy.
Li Xuan was stunned.
He didn't expect Li Chen to hit him directly.
"You are half-brothers of this palace, and I don't want to kill others, but some things should not be yours, so don't touch them. I promise you a stable and prosperous second half of your life, but if you have
Other thoughts, this palace will make you die miserably.”
The royal family has been the most ruthless since ancient times.
In front of the throne, not to mention half-brothers, even biological fathers and sons will turn against each other.
Li Chen traveled through time for a lifetime and knew very well that he could only climb up to the dragon chaise, and no one could stop him, otherwise he would be the one who died.
Whether for the power of the supreme world or for his own life, Li Chen decided that whoever dared to covet the throne would be killed completely.
Li Xuan trembled all over.
There was pain on his face, but more so, it was because of Li Chen's cold gaze that made him feel scared from his bones.
At the same time, a stream of humiliation and anger in his bones made Li Xuan’s eyes turn red.
Li Chen had a cold expression. He wanted Li Xuan to hit him at this time. In addition, Li Xuan saw the memorial reason and directly killed Li Xuan. By then, even the queen and Zhao Xuanji would not be able to protect him.
At this moment, a palace maid came hurriedly with a team of guards.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince. I am the Empress's personal maid Li Cui'er. I have passed the imperial edict of the Empress to ask His Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince to rush to Fengxi Palace immediately to meet the Empress."
The arrival of the queen's imperial edict made Li Chen's abacus vain.
At the same time, Li Xuan also regained some rationality.
"My son accepts the order." Li Xuan said hurriedly.
Li Chen said lightly: "Lead the way."
Looking at Li Chen's back as he left, the eunuch of Sanbao slowly got up from the ground and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
He was the official of the Dongchang Factory. When the Jinyiwei moved, all the civil and military officials were trembling.
Except for Zhao Xuanji and his right-hand men, he, the factory man, could not move, and no one else was afraid of him.
But Sanbao also knew that Crown Prince Li Chen was right. His power came from the royal family. Once the royal family gave up on him, there was no need for the royal family to do anything, and those civil and military officials would instantly tear him to pieces.
It is precisely because of this that he could only rely on the imperial power.
"The prince...is really scary."
The eunuch Sanbao took a deep breath and murmured: "I'm afraid everyone underestimated the prince's method... so decisive, but every knife was still slashed. I'm afraid no one can tell.
What's not here..."
"Factory."
An Jinyiwei came to Sanbao, glanced at the cried eunuchs in Sili Prison, and asked in a low voice: "These people..."
"Didn't you hear what His Highness the Crown Prince say? I killed them all except the few names I said."
Sanbao glanced at the eunuchs coldly and said without caring.
In Fengxi Palace.
In the Queen's Bedroom.
Zhao Qinglan, wearing a phoenix crown and a queen robe, sat in the hall. She was as noble as the world.
I don't know if it's because of the dignity brought by identity, or if she is the most noble woman in the world. In short, Zhao Qinglan, wearing the queen's robe, just sat there with all kinds of demeanor, which made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
No slight blasphemy.
Only Li Chen is exceptional.
"It's simply presumptuous!"
Zhao Qinglan slapped his palm on the handrail and said angrily: "One of you is the crown prince and the other is the ninth prince. Both are royal descendants and half-brothers. What do you want to say carefully and have to do it?"
Zhao Qinglan naturally leaned towards the ninth prince. She pointed at Li Xuan's swollen cheeks and questioned Li Chen: "Crown Prince, you beat the ninth prince like this, it's your fault!"
As if he didn't see how angry the queen was, Li Chen said calmly: "I didn't kill him because of my father's sake."
These words made Zhao Qinglan widen his eyes.
She said angrily: "What did you say!?"
"Don't the queen understand?"
Li Chen glanced at Li Xuan, who was covered with a grievance, and said, "I didn't kill him, it's already for the sake of my father."
Zhao Qinglan was so angry that his breathing was rapid. She said, "Don't think you are the prince. I can't cure you. I am still the queen!"
"Yes, you are the queen, your mother is in charge of the world, but the harem cannot interfere in politics. This palace is not only the crown prince, but also the crown prince appointed by the father's imperial edict. The ninth prince read the memorial without his father's permission.
Don’t you know how serious this is? If this palace kills him, who dares to criticize him?"
Zhao Qinglan gritted his silver teeth, so angry that he wanted to depose Li Chen's position as a prince on the spot, but she knew that she did not have the power.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she took a deep breath, barely suppressed her anger, turned her head and said to Li Xuan, "You go to the side hall next door to review today's homework, and other things, I will talk to the prince."
Li Xuan looked at Li Chen in awe, then he knelt down and bowed properly, and then left.
