Three hundred and eighty fourth chapter Gaozong died
But it is said that after Li Xian entered the palace, he rushed all the way to the Zhenguan Palace, pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillars, knelt down in front of the palace, and said loudly: "My son Xian came to the palace to meet you on the emperor's order.
I also ask my father to allow my sons and ministers to see you, to check on my father's condition, and to fulfill my filial piety at my father's knees."
However, he saw hundreds of soldiers and horses gathered outside the palace. The first person in charge was Wu Youji, the guard of the right prison guard, and the hundreds of troops under Wu Youji were all with their bows and arrows drawn, and they were full of murderous intent. If Li Xian dared to break through,
, I believe they will shoot the arrow without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help but frown and shouted: "Wu Youji, what do you mean? Are you trying to attack me?"
Wu Youji said calmly: "I am ordered by the Queen of Heaven to guard the Zhenguan Hall. No matter who you are, anyone who enters this hall must obtain the consent of the Queen of Heaven, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
Li Xian couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this. In fact, he was now completely sure that he could capture Wu Youji in an instant and successfully break into Zhenguan Palace. However, he didn't know Gaozong's current situation at all.
Shocked, then he will really have no redemption for his sins. When the time comes, not to mention others, even he himself will not forgive himself.
However, if he keeps waiting here like this, he will probably miss the opportunity, because Empress Wu and Pei Yan can calmly arrange everything inside.
At this moment, someone from behind suddenly heard shouting: "My daughter, Princess Taiping, Ling Yue, asks to see my father and the queen, and also asks for my mother's permission."
"Taiping, you're here. How is your father?" Seeing the arrival of his little sister, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly came up to greet her, and asked in a low voice.
"Seventh brother, my little sister doesn't know what happened to my father. I just heard that my father suddenly fell ill and his condition is very urgent. However, it has been two days now. Except for the imperial doctor, no one has come in or out at all. Even the imperial doctor
The doctors could only go in and out. The younger sister and the eighth brother were very anxious. They sent people to investigate the situation several times, but they were all blocked. The eighth brother was afraid that his coming to the temple would be detrimental to the seventh brother, so he did not
Come here and let me go to the palace alone to see my father. Although I probably won't be able to do anything, I can still serve my father for a few days. This can be considered as my filial piety."
Princess Taiping's face was stained with tears, because Gaozong loved his little daughter so much that she was like the apple of his eye. Princess Taiping's relationship with Gaozong and Empress Wu was the closest among Gaozong's children.
Now that I heard that Gaozong was seriously ill, how could I not be anxious? I cried several liters of tears. However, Empress Wu blocked Princess Taiping outside the palace for two days on the grounds that Gaozong was seriously ill and could not be disturbed.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the door of Zhenguan Palace slowly opening, and then I saw Cheng Lishi, the chamberlain, saying sadly: "Your Highness Prince Xuan, Princess Taiping, King Yu..."
When Li Xian saw Cheng Lishi's expression, his heart suddenly thumped, and he quickly exchanged glances with Cheng Lishi. Cheng Lishi shook his head with tears on his face, and then knelt down at the door.
Li Xian burst into tears immediately, because by this time he was sure that Gaozong had passed away.
"What's going on? Wasn't my father fine for the first few days?" Li Xian asked in a low voice while he was helping Cheng Lishi up.
But Cheng Lishi said bitterly: "When Your Majesty was ill, I was not with you. At that time, the Queen of Heaven served Your Majesty and ate a few cakes. After that, I never saw Your Majesty until he was summoned last night."
Your Majesty, but at this time His Majesty has already..."
At this point, Cheng Lishi couldn't talk any more, and tears came to him again.
When Li Xian heard this, there was a sudden bang in his head. It was as if all his strength had been drained from his whole body. He stood there a little shaky and almost fell to the ground.
"Brother Seven, are you okay?" Li Dan, who came later, saw this and quickly supported Li Xian, asking with concern on his face.
"It's nothing, thank you eighth brother." Li Xian patted Li Dan's shoulder gently, tried his best to smile, and said to Li Dan.
In fact, after listening to what Cheng Lishi said, an idea suddenly flashed in Li Xian's mind. Although he himself felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous, combined with what Empress Wu had done over the years, it seemed that this was possible.
There is still sex. The idea is that his father was probably killed by Empress Wu!
Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a tremor all over his body, and thought silently: "Could it be that my mother-in-law really ignored her husband, who we have lived with for thirty years, for the sake of this little power? He could actually do that.
?Hmph, if she really does this, no matter how high the price I pay, I will definitely clear my father's grievances!"
Li Xian clenched his fists and silently walked into Zhenguan Hall. When he arrived there, he saw that his father had already passed away.
I saw Gaozong's face was very calm, lying there quietly, looking very peaceful.
"Father..." When Li Xian saw Gaozong's body, he couldn't help but feel sad, fell to his knees and cried loudly.
At the same time, Empress Wu, Pei Yan, Princess Taiping, Li Dan and others also burst into mourning, and the entire Zhenguan Palace was filled with sadness and mourning.
However, although Li Xian was grieving in his heart, he did not let himself fall into unnecessary mourning. Instead, he took the opportunity to get close to Gaozong's body, and then after careful observation, he discovered that there was something strange about Gaozong's body. Although the expression on his face was peaceful,
However, it seems to have been artificially concealed. There is also a faint trace of blood in the seven orifices. Although the light is dim, how strong is Li Xian's eyesight? He can see clearly.
In addition, there were faint tears in the corners of Gaozong's eyes, which shows that before Gaozong died, he must have been in a river of pain in his heart?
Li Xian himself deduced that Gaozong had been in a good mood these past few days. Even though he died of a sudden illness, he did not have too many regrets in his heart and his face was not filled with tears. It must have been because he found out that Empress Wu had poisoned him.
My heart was hurt so much that I burst into tears.
"Hmph, those who participated in the disposal of my father's body must be these imperial doctors. I must find out the real evidence from them. Also, I also want to investigate the people who participated in making and delivering the cakes. This
No matter what the cost, I must investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it!" Li Xian stared at Gaozong's body with blank eyes, and secretly made up his mind that no matter who it was, he would not let them go.
However, at this moment, Pei Yan was heard swallowing more and saying: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, now is not the time to be sad. We should first announce the news of His Majesty's death, and then invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Taiping, Prince Yu and others
The ministers have gathered together and respectfully request His Majesty's final edict!" (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
