"Crown Prince, why are you here today?" Queen Changsun looked at Li Zheng Palace and smiled.
"Some days I have never paid homage to my mother, and I miss you a little. Today I come to visit my mother." Li Tai smiled and was extremely respectful to Queen Changsun.
Li Tai has been very likable since childhood.
This is also why Li Tai is so obese and the emperor and the empress have always been doting on him.
"You child is just good at speaking." Empress Changsun smiled.
Waving his hand, a maid on the side brought a stool for Li Tai.
"Mother, is Mrs. Zhao going to give birth?" Li Tai sat down for a moment and asked this question.
Empress Changsun looked at Li Tai, knowing that Li Tai just wanted to find out with her when Zhao Chen would come back to Chang'an.
Empress Changsun was a little helpless.
She didn't understand why Li Chengqian and Li Tai always had to be in trouble with Zhao Chen?
Empress Changsun knows very well what Zhao Chen’s personality is.
If Zhao Chen knew that Du He would kill his shopkeeper Huang Zhi, Du He would definitely be retaliated by Zhao Chen.
As for the result, Empress Changsun also knew it.
She didn't care about Du He, but Li Tai, she couldn't pretend that nothing happened.
"It's almost done. Doctor Sun has diagnosed her with pulse, and it's probably less than a month." Queen Changsun said.
Li Tai's eyes flashed, he was silent for a moment, and then looked up and asked, "Where is Zhao Chen? Will he rush back to Chang'an when Mrs. Zhao is about to give birth?"
Li Tai needs to know Zhao Chen’s whereabouts.
In this way, he has time to prepare.
When Zhao Chen comes back, he can take Zhao Chen down.
As long as the emperor is not here, Li Tai has the final say in Chang'an.
"Qingque, when Du He killed Huang Zhi, someone saw it." Empress Changsun and Li Tai suddenly said this.
At that time, Li Tai's expression changed suddenly.
Du He told him that all the people who saw Du He kill Huang Zhi were killed by Du He.
Why did anyone see it?
And it also reached the queen's ears?
"Qingque, listen to the advice of the last mother, and make clear the relationship with Du He as soon as possible."
"You used to do things randomly, but never killed anyone. This time..." Empress Changsun and Li Tai said, and sighed slightly.
If no one was killed, he might be able to touch Zhao Chen.
But Huang Zhi is already dead, and this matter cannot be persuaded by one or two words.
"Mother, why do you and your father always look at him Zhao Chen?"
"The son minister is your son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Chen..." Li Tai was a little angry.
He never expected that someone would see Du He committing an assault.
He also told Empress Changsun.
Then Zhao Chen, didn’t he know about this?
By then, Zhao Chen is prepared, how can he fight Li Tai?
Queen Changsun looked at Li Tai and didn't know how to explain to him for a moment.
She had no way to tell Li Tai the truth.
But I can't watch Li Tai and Zhao Chen fight you, I'm living.
"Qingque, please listen to your mother's advice and don't worry about Du He's affairs."
"Zhao Chen..." Empress Changsun said this, but she didn't know how she should persuade Li Tai.
If Li Tai was so easily persuaded, how could he have had such a fuss with Zhao Chen?
How fierce Li Chengqian and Zhao Chen were fighting each other, but they didn't kill anyone.
But now...
"My mother should have told Zhao Chen about the news about Chang'an City." Li Tai looked at Empress Changsun, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Empress Changsun didn't say anything.
She didn't know what she should say either.
If she wants to say something, she just doesn't want any of Zhao Chen and Li Tai to be injured.
"Mother, my son is leaving." Li Tai stood up, said something to Queen Changsun, turned around and walked out.
Empress Changsun did not stop Li Tai either.
Just looked at Li Tai's back silently.
...
After two days of running around, Zhao Chen and others finally returned to Dingzhou City.
I took a short night of rest, and in the morning of the next day, I set off for Chang'an again.
Miss Xue's family saw Zhao Chen and others riding horses towards Chang'an, thinking about the promises that Zhao Chen and him had made to that day.
At this moment, I was a little unhappy.
Miss Xue's family still remembers that Zhao Chen said he would find a way to get her father Xue Wanche back to Chang'an court.
One day in the future, you can lead troops to war.
Now, Zhao Chen didn't even dare to stay in Dingzhou and talk about that to himself.
"Sir, you have been to Dingzhou. Wouldn't you meet Miss Xue?" Li Ke and Zhao Chen asked.
The others also looked at Zhao Chen.
They all felt that Zhao Chen and Miss Xue must have some unclear relationship.
And when they left the city just now, they clearly saw Miss Xue’s carriage passing by the street.
"What are you meeting?" Zhao Chen's voice was a little cold.
Li Ke opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Everyone saw that Zhao Chen was in a bad mood and did not dare to speak again.
They are actually not very familiar with Huang Zhi.
The most common intersection is that I said a few words when I collected tolls at Xuandemen.
But they also knew that Huang Zhi was the shopkeeper of Zhao Chen and had done a lot of things for Zhao Chen.
Huang Zhi has always helped manage the industries in Chang'an City.
If something really happened to Huang Zhi, then...
"Sir, someone is lying down on the road ahead, and it seems that he is injured." Changsun rushed back and shouted to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything and was about to leave when he saw the man lying on the ground holding a jade pendant in his hand.
The style is very familiar.
It seems to be the one I gave to Huang Zhi.
"Take the jade pendant in his hand and take a look." Zhao Chen and Changsun Chong said.
Changsun jumped off the horse, took off the jade pendant from the man on the ground, and took it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen took it and saw that it was indeed the jade pendant he gave to Huang Zhi.
When Huang Zhi heard that Zhao Chen was going to Jiangnan, he gave Zhao Chen a jade pendant, saying that he might be able to use it in Jiangnan.
Zhao Chen felt that it was impolite to come but not to go, so he also returned a jade pendant to him.
I didn’t expect that the jade pendant appeared here today.
Zhao Chen sighed. Something must have happened to Huang Zhi, otherwise this jade pendant would not be here.
"Wake him up." Zhao Chen turned over and got off the horse and led the horse to the side.
"Ahem—"
After Qin Huaiyu fed the water to someone, the man on the ground woke up.
Seeing Zhao Chen standing beside him, the man on the ground crawled in front of Zhao Chen.
"The boss, they are all dead!"
Li Ke and others all changed their expressions.
This man called Zhao Chendong's family, could it be the clerk from Chang'an City?
But why did the guy from Chang'an City come here and collapse on the ground?
Is it really as Zhao Chen guessed that something big happened in Chang'an?
"Speak slowly." Zhao Chen held the jade pendant in his hand and said slowly.
"East…Hong Konger."
"Half a month ago, our Tang Dynasty border army was defeated in a battle with Goguryeo, and the troops retreated fifty miles."
"The prince Fei said that the boss had colluded with Goguryeo and handed over the drawings of weapons such as bed crossbows, Baniu Crossbows and other weapons to Goguryeo, which led to such a disastrous defeat by the Tang army."
"The prince used the excuse to seal all industries in Chang'an and replenish money to the national treasury."
"On the same day, someone was rude to his boss. Manager Huang Zhi made a statement to protect his boss, but Du He kicked his organs and died tragically on the spot."
"Then the villain and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper fled, but Du He quickly killed him. In order to let me report the news to the boss, the shopkeeper detonated the sky-bombing cannon he carried with him."
"There is no bones."
