"Your Majesty, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been grounded has spread outside." Li Mu said.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and he said expressionlessly: "Has the person who leaked the news been found out?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it has been found out." Li Mu said.
"Don't touch them now." Li Shimin said.
"Yes." Li Mu's heart tightened.
Li Shimin said don't touch those people now, but that doesn't mean he won't investigate later. He can already imagine how many people will be killed.
"Ha." Li Shimin sneered and murmured: "I have already set up the stage, but I want to see what monsters and monsters will pop out."
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is awake." A palace maid ran over and said.
"What?"
Li Shimin looked happy and quickly entered the inner hall.
"Qingque, Qingque, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the queen mother!"
As soon as Li Shimin entered the inner hall, he heard the urgent voice of Queen Changsun.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say Qingque is awake?"
Li Shimin quickly came to the bed, looked at Li Tai who was still unconscious on the bed, frowned and asked.
Empress Changsun grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Qingque just woke up for a while and then passed out again. Could it be...could it be..."
When it came to the latter part, Empress Changsun was a little speechless.
"Don't worry, Qingque will be fine." Li Shimin comforted Empress Changsun and said, "Come here, go and fetch Divine Doctor Sun."
"yes!"
Half an hour later, Sun Simiao was invited over.
After taking his pulse, Sun Simiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Queen, Your Highness the King of Wei's pulse is gradually stabilizing. As long as you cultivate yourself well, you will be fine."
"That's great, thank you God Sun..." Before Empress Changsun could finish her words, her vision went dark and she fell down.
"Guanyin Maid!"
Li Shimin's expression changed and he quickly caught Empress Changsun.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Queen must have been worried and sick these past two days and was too tired. Suddenly she heard the good news and her tense nerves relaxed and she fell into a coma. Let me take a pulse on the Queen," Sun Simiao said.
"Excuse me, Doctor Sun."
Li Shimin picked up Queen Changsun and placed her on the soft couch carried by the eunuch.
Sun Simiao took out the silk thread, asked the palace maid to tie it to Queen Changsun's wrist, and then took the pulse of Queen Changsun.
Li Shimin was very anxious, but he couldn't push him.
Sun Simiao took his pulse and said, "The Queen is fine. She just needs to rest."
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much, the doctor, but why did Qingque wake up for a while and then fall into coma?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei lost too much blood and was in a coma because of his weak body. He will fully wake up in two days." Sun Simiao said.

Tai Chi Palace, Morning Morning
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you!"
Li Shimin looked at the official who stood up, his eyes flashed, and he nodded.
"Your Majesty, there are now rumors in the market that His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to assassinate His Royal Highness King Wei. His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country. If His Highness is not the one who did this, he should be cleared as soon as possible. If it was His Highness the Crown Prince who did it,
…”
"What if the prince did it?" Li Shimin asked calmly.
"If it is really His Highness the Crown Prince who did it, His Highness the Crown Prince's position as Crown Prince should be abolished and a new Crown Prince should be established."
The official's words caused an uproar.
"It's impudent. The position of crown prince is related to the stability of the country. It's so important. How can we abandon it lightly?" Changsun Wuji scolded.
"What Duke Zhao said is wrong. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not practice virtue and murders his own brothers, how can such a person be so virtuous as the crown prince of a country?" an official retorted.
"That's right. If it was really His Highness the Crown Prince who sent someone to assassinate His Highness King Wei, it should be abolished."
For a time, nearly half of the officials in the court echoed.
Li Shimin looked expressionlessly at the officials arguing below.
He knew clearly that the assassination of Li Tai had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, but he still banned Li Chengqian just to lure out the person behind the scenes.
Li Tai was assassinated, but Li Chengqian's spy in Furong Garden committed suicide. No matter how he looked at it, he wanted to put the blame on Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin deliberately called Li Chengqian to question him and then grounded him, just to lure the snake out of its hole.
The official who first proposed a thorough investigation into this matter was from a noble family, and most of the people who followed him up were also from noble families.
It was obvious that the family was behind this matter.
Li Shimin felt a murderous intention in his heart. The family was going too far now.
He actually assassinated the prince and framed the crown prince, which he could not tolerate.
But now is not the time to deal with the aristocratic family, Li Shimin can only hold back the murderous intention in his heart.
"I have arranged for people to investigate this matter, and some clues have been found. This matter has nothing to do with the prince." Li Shimin said calmly.
"May I ask Your Majesty who is so bold as to assassinate the King of Wei?" Cui Hao said.
"What? Do you think I am shielding the prince and saying this on purpose?" Li Shimin said with a cold face.
"I don't dare. It's just that people say that His Highness the Crown Prince did it. Now that it has been found out, it should be announced as soon as possible to clear His Highness the Crown Prince's name." Cui Hao said quickly.
He thought he did this perfectly.
The assassins sent were the dead men trained by the Cui family since childhood.
This kind of dead warrior is different from ordinary dead warriors. They are young children selected from the refugees and have been brutally trained since childhood.
They have no identity, no family, no contact with outsiders, and no traces to trace.
It is very difficult to train such dead soldiers, even with the Cui family's background, there are not many.
It's not that the Cui family can't afford to train them, but that such dead soldiers will not live very long after being brutally trained, and it is generally difficult for them to live past the age of thirty.
Under normal circumstances, such dead soldiers are rarely used.
Many dead soldiers may not have used them from the time they were trained until they died.
"According to the investigation, this matter was done by the remnants of Prince Yin, and the purpose was to frame the blame on the Prince." Li Shimin said calmly.
Cui Hao's expression changed. Li Shimin blamed the remnants of Li Jiancheng for this matter. He really couldn't refute.
First of all, Li Jiancheng's remnants have this motive, and secondly, the pursuit of Li Jiancheng's remnants has always been the responsibility of Baiqi, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment and reports directly to Li Shimin.
If Li Shimin wanted to get some people and say they were remnants of Li Jiancheng, he would really have no choice.
You can't say that the assassin was arranged by me and that he was not a remnant of Li Jiancheng at all.
"I have handed this matter over to Baiqi for investigation, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Shimin said calmly.
"yes."
…
After the morning dynasty, the entire palace underwent a general purge.
People were arrested not only in the Imperial Palace, but also in the East Palace and Furong Garden.
"Damn it!" Cui Hao's face turned pale.
Not only was Li Chengqian unable to be blamed this time, but the Cui family's influence in the palace was basically eliminated.
The remaining ones will not be contacted in the short term.
What worries Cui Hao the most is Li Tai.
If Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince could be abolished, Li Tai would not pursue the previous affairs too closely after he wakes up.
But now they have failed to frame Li Chengqian, and Li Tai almost lost his life. After Li Tai recovers, he will definitely cause trouble for the family.
