During these days of being under house arrest in the East Palace under the emperor's order, Li Chengqian was very frightened.
Thinking of how everyone in the East Palace except him, the crown prince, was dragged out and beheaded by the Xuanjia Army that day.
Li Chengqian felt panic in his heart.
Even if the emperor did not do anything harmful to him.
But when he thought of his endless days of house arrest, Li Chengqian did not dare to sleep all night long.
Tonight, Li Chengqian was sitting in his bedroom again, looking at the flickering lights on the candlestick, his eyes dull.
There was no eunuch or maid serving outside the palace.
The patrol team of the Xuanjia Army passed by outside from time to time, but other than that, there was no sound at all.
Li Chengqian thought a lot.
He knew that the emperor would not tell anyone what he saw that day.
But Li Chengqian's position as crown prince may not be so easy to keep.
But if he can't keep his position as the prince, what's the point of Li Chengqian's life?
Over the years, the driving force that supported Li Chengqian was his position as the prince.
If this is even the case...
At this moment, Li Chengqian was extremely resentful of Han King Li Yuanchang.
If it hadn't been for him, how could I have known Satsuma...
And was discovered by the emperor!
Everyone in the East Palace was killed that night, and even today, Li Chengqian can still occasionally smell the smell of blood.
"cough--"
Li Chengqian choked on the wine in his glass.
He coughed violently and choked with tears.
When he raised his head, he saw Changsun Wuji standing in front of him.
Li Chengqian rubbed his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The emperor has asked the Xuanjia Army to place him under house arrest.
Even a dog couldn't get in. How did a living person like Changsun Wuji get in?
"Uncle..." Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji in front of him. Before he could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji covered his mouth.
"Your Highness, please don't speak loudly, otherwise I won't be able to escape today if others listen to you." Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.
He came today to find out the truth from Li Chengqian.
Only by knowing what happened that night can we solve the problem.
Otherwise, the prince will really have to be locked up here for the rest of his life.
Li Chengqian nodded, with a look of excitement on his face.
He thought that someone would come to help him, but he didn't expect that it would be Changsun Wuji who came in person.
"Uncle, you must save me!" Li Chengqian begged Changsun Wuji in a low voice.
Changsun Wuji is now his only life-saving straw.
If he couldn't catch him, Li Chengqian would really drown in this catastrophe.
Changsun Wuji sighed, looked at Li Chengqian, and comforted him: "Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Tell someone about the reasons for what happened that day."
"Remember, there must be no hiding anything."
Li Chengqian was full of words, but when Changsun Wuji asked him this question, he couldn't say a word at the moment.
What does he want to say?
Tell Changsun Wuji everything about sleeping with Cheng Xin?
Then how can Li Chengqian hold his head high in the future?
Li Chengqian lowered his head and looked gloomy.
"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. If you don't explain clearly the ins and outs of the matter, how can I help you?"
"Furthermore, any unspeakable secret is incomparable to your position as the prince."
"Of course, if you don't want to be the crown prince, then just pretend that today's so-and-so has never come!" Changsun Wuji said with an expressionless face.
He naturally knew that Li Chengqian was hesitant.
But what time of year it is now, the position of the prince is very critical, and there is still time to care about the minutiae.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Changsun Wuji was annoyed.
He came here at the risk of being discovered, but Li Chengqian didn't even dare to say anything.
"Uncle, I was also framed for this matter..." Li Chengqian said hesitantly.
…
"Your Highness, King of Han, what happened to the prince? If your majesty said he should be put under house arrest, he will be put under house arrest."
"If this continues, won't all your highness's previous investment be in vain?"
In the Han Palace, Li Yuanchang was sitting on a soft couch.
In front of him was the steward of the Han Dynasty.
Li Yuanchang and Li Chengqian showed their goodwill by giving away people and things.
The housekeepers are very clear about this.
Li Yuanchang's purpose is very simple, that is, to have a good relationship with the prince.
In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Li Yuanchang's life will be better.
Maybe, you can even stand in the court hall.
But now, no one expected that Li Chengqian would suddenly be placed under house arrest by the emperor.
All those people in the East Palace were killed.
What exactly happened that day, apart from Li Chengqian himself, only the emperor knew.
Those of them standing far away didn't know the slightest bit.
"Who knows what happened? His Majesty placed the prince under house arrest, but did not send anyone to investigate the matter."
"It's probably a disgraceful thing. Unfortunately, since I went to the East Palace, I have completely surrendered to Na Ruixin."
"By dying this time, I can be said to have let out a bad breath." Li Yuanchang said coldly, his expression not very good-looking.
It was he who gave it to Li Chengqian.
The original intention was to ask him to help find out some news about Li Chengqian.
But who knew that it didn't take long for Chengxin to join Li Chengqian.
News, that's not the case at all.
Instead, he revealed many things about Li Yuanchang to Li Chengqian.
It's like shooting yourself in the foot.
"Your Highness, should we think of a way to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"After all, you have spent a lot of thought on the prince. If his position as prince is not guaranteed, then..." the housekeeper persuaded in a low voice.
Li Yuanchang fell into silence.
If something really happened to Li Chengqian, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Befriend Li Chengqian, not just because he is the prince. If the prince's position is unstable...
"Go and get ready. Early tomorrow morning, we will go visit His Highness the King of Wei!" After a while of silence, Li Yuanchang suddenly said something meaningless.
…
Zhao Chen felt that Queen Changsun was joking with him.
This early in the morning, an imperial doctor was sent over.
He said he wanted to check his pulse.
The imperial doctor even brought special tonics.
We haven’t checked this yet, but the medicine is already ready?
Although doctors cannot heal themselves, Zhao Chen still knows what is going on with his body.
I can't say that I'm as strong as an ox, but I'm still as strong as a dragon and a tiger!
Why did the imperial doctor also come over?
"Your Excellency, the Empress has asked her subordinates to come and take a look at you."
"Please don't embarrass me!" Doctor Zhang was a little worried.
This Lord Commander is not someone to be trifled with.
If I really find out something bad for him, who knows if the Duke will kill me to silence him.
"Embarrassed?" Zhao Chen laughed angrily at him.
Everything was fine, and someone came over to check if there was anything wrong with my body.
He also said that he should not embarrass him!
What kind of truth is this?
"Doctor Zhang, you think I'm sick, don't you?" Zhao Chen said with a cold face.
"I don't dare, it's your Majesty's order, I don't dare not come!" Doctor Zhang was very scared.
Who knows if the impulsive Lord Duke in front of him will suddenly punch him.
After all, he was the one who dared to punch and kick all the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall.
