After half a year of repairs, the palace has now been restored to its original state. Emperor Qing hid in the palace a long time ago. Perhaps because of his hemiplegia, Emperor Qing rarely saw foreign ministers.
Today, the second prince Li Chengze suddenly received an imperial decree from Emperor Qing, asking him to take charge of the military affairs of the nine gates of Kyoto and act as the admiral of the nine gates.
The moment Li Chengze received the imperial edict, his whole body became excited, and his face could not suppress the ecstasy.
Taking over Jiumen Defense, Li Chengze finally had the military power he had dreamed of, and it was also the military power in Kyoto.
"Your Highness, after His Majesty asked you to receive the order, immediately go to the palace to express your gratitude." The eunuch who delivered the order said to Li Chengze with a smile.
Li Chengze reacted, took out a money bag, and stuffed it directly into the eunuch's robe.
"Excuse me, father-in-law. I will get something first and then I will follow you into the palace immediately," Li Chengze said.
"What is more important than entering the palace to express gratitude? Your Majesty is waiting in the palace!"
Li Chengze said with a smile: "The newly made longevity ointment is ready, just in time to give it to my father."
The eunuch who conveyed the order stopped talking. Emperor Qing now relied on Fushou Ointment for pain relief. It was hardly a secret that the palace was filled with smoke all day long.
Li Chengze also gained more and more attention from Emperor Qing because of his meritorious service in paying tribute to the longevity ointment. Many people in the court even speculated that Emperor Qing intended to depose the current crown prince and make Li Chengze the heir apparent.
"Your Highness, please hurry up! Don't keep your Majesty waiting for too long. Neither you nor I can bear it." The eunuch who delivered the order said helplessly.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, it will be soon." Li Chengze ran back to the palace with a smile, and soon came out with a delicate small box.
The eunuch who delivered the order and Li Chengze hurried to the palace. When they reached Xuanwu Gate, Li Chengze found that the person on duty at Xuanwu Gate today was a stranger.
He didn't suspect anything, and continued to walk forward with the eunuch who was delivering the order. When he was halfway there, the gate of Xuanwumen suddenly closed, and Li Chengze immediately stopped.
The eunuch who delivered the order hurriedly ran forward without paying any attention to Li Chengze.
Li Chengze secretly thought something was wrong, and just wanted to turn back and run towards the city gate, but he was helpless to find that all the city gates were completely closed, and many crossbowmen appeared on the city head.
He became a turtle in a urn.
"Li Chengqian." Li Chengze shouted loudly and shouted angrily: "Is it you?"
Li Chengze's voice echoed around for a long time. The crossbowmen on the top of the city separated into two rows, and Prince Li Chengqian walked out from the middle.
Seeing Li Chengqian, Li Chengze said angrily: "What do you mean?!"
Li Chengqian sneered and said: "Second Emperor Brother, I should ask you this question. Why did you enter the palace without an imperial edict?"
Li Chengze raised the imperial edict and shouted: "I have entered the palace under the edict. If you dare to stop me, you are not afraid of being blamed by your father!"
Li Chengqian laughed loudly and said: "What imperial edict? How come I don't know what imperial edict my father has issued? The edict in your hand can't be fake, right?"
"Bold, you dare to question the imperial edict." Li Chengze immediately opened the imperial edict and showed it to Li Chengqian.
The next moment, the imperial edict came out of Li Chengze's hand. A rocket hit the edict and nailed it to the ground. The flames ignited the edict, and Li Chengze's expression changed drastically.
?The only person in the palace who has such archery skills is Yan Xiaoyi. What's more important is the burning imperial edict.
The real edict is made of special silk cloth and is invulnerable to water and fire. The only ones that can be burned are fake edicts.
"Li Chengqian, this is all your arrangement." Li Chengze was furious, pointed at Li Chengqian and shouted: "I want to see my father."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said: "Okay, I will let you see my father."
Li Chengze just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Chengqian suddenly wave his hand, and countless arrows rained down from the sky and shot towards Li Chengze.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff!
Li Chengze was not weak in martial arts and blocked two waves of arrows, but he was quickly stabbed like a hedgehog. He did not understand until the last moment how Li Chengqian dared to attack him.
After all the dust settled, Li Chengqian walked down the tower and came to Li Chengze's body. He glanced at it coldly, then took out the knife from his waist, cut off Li Chengze's head and put it in the brocade box.
Next, Li Chengqian took the box into the palace to meet the emperor and came to the palace of Emperor Qing.
"Father, I have something to ask for." Prince Li Chengqian shouted towards the closed palace door.
The palace door opened quickly, and Eunuch Hou came out and asked, "Your Majesty, please invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come to the palace for an audience."
Prince Li Chengqian curled up his lips, walked into the palace with the brocade box, and then saw Emperor Qing sitting in a wheelchair, holding a pipe and puffing away smoke.
"Prince, what's the important thing for you to enter the palace?" Emperor Qing put down his pipe with great enjoyment and asked Li Chengqian with half-squinted eyes.
Li Chengqian held up the brocade box and said: "A quarter of an hour ago, assassins entered the palace. The person has been captured, and the head is here."
"Isn't he just an assassin? Just deal with it." Emperor Qing yawned and said with waning spirits.
"This assassin is a bit special. Father will know it as soon as he sees it." Li Chengqian said solemnly.
"Special?" Emperor Qing became more energetic and glanced at Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hong agreed and immediately took over the brocade box. For safety reasons, he needed to check the brocade box first to make sure it was not dangerous before showing it to Emperor Qing.
But when Eunuch Hou opened the box and saw Li Chengze's head, his hand suddenly shook, he couldn't hold the box steady, and it fell to the ground.
Li Chengze's head rolled out and slid to Emperor Qing's wheelchair.
"Ah!" Emperor Qing screamed when he saw his son's head, bent down and picked up the head, and shouted to Li Chengqian:
"He is your second brother! How could you do it!"
Li Chengqian straightened up with a sneer, and said ruthlessly: "The traitorous king Li Chengze broke into the palace without orders and was shot dead by his ministers on the spot."
Emperor Qing was so angry that he wanted to stand up and kill Li Chengqian.
"Son, you dare to kill your own brother, do you want to kill me too?"
Li Chengqian said arrogantly: "Father, you are old and in poor health. It is better to stay in the harem to take care of your life. My son will take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty for you."
Emperor Qing's lips turned purple in anger, and he soon felt something was wrong with his body. He quickly looked at his hands and found that they were completely dark.
Li Chengqian smeared a huge poison on Li Chengze's head, and anyone who came into contact with it would be poisoned.

Emperor Qing snorted coldly, and without caring about his son, he threw the head away and used his energy to force the poison out of the body.
At this time, the palace door opened wide, and groups of soldiers rushed in, surrounding Emperor Qing.
Li Yunrui, Yan Xiaoyi, Chen Pingping, Yingying, and Fei Jie walked out of the ranks of soldiers.
"You want to rebel." Emperor Qing's face turned black, and the poisonous gas slowly eroded every part of his body.
Fei Jie chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, don't waste your efforts. Even the Grand Master can't force out the poison I prepared. You have old injuries and your skills are at a loss, and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Fei Jie, it turns out you have never disappeared." Emperor Qing coughed and coughed up a trace of black blood.
Chen Pingping smiled and said: "I asked Fei Jie to pretend to be missing. In fact, he has been in Kyoto, researching a poison that can deal with the Grand Master."
Emperor Qing shouted angrily: "Chen Pingping, I treat you well, why do you want to harm me? Is it because of Ye Qingmei?"
Chen Pingping said coldly: "I am not taking action against His Majesty for personal reasons, but only for the sake of celebrating the country."
Li Yunrui smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Emperor, the news about you killing Ye Qingmei has spread throughout the Qing Kingdom. The people all feel that you are too cold-hearted for killing the heroes of the Qing Kingdom. They hope that you will abdicate and make way for the prince.
You can rest assured that after abdicating the throne, my sister will always be by your side and take care of you, and your food and clothing expenses will remain the same as before."
"The rebellious ministers and traitors want me to abdicate. It's a dream."
Emperor Qing's face suddenly straightened up, the black energy from his body dissipated, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, turned into a blood arrow, and shot at Chen Pingping.
"Dean, be careful." Shadow instantly drew his sword and blocked the bloody arrow, but the sword broke into two sections and he was also injured by the force of the counterattack.
"You underestimate the Grand Master." Emperor Qing slowly stood up from his wheelchair, startling everyone.
"You are not disabled, you are just pretending." Chen Pingping was shocked.
Emperor Qing was furious and said: "I took out the iron piece from my back three months ago and restored all my skills."
"Everyone take action together." Li Chengqian exclaimed.
On this day, the palace was bleeding again. Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui conspired to change the palace, but Emperor Qing single-handedly suppressed it.
Emperor Qing once again proved to the world that the Grand Master was invincible.
