As Li Shimin shouted these words, the next moment, another figure appeared in front of Li Shimin's bed. This figure was none other than Li Shimin's captain Liu Shili. Liu Shili was still dressed as usual, wearing light armor. With a pale face and no beard, he looked at Li Shimin on the bed with a calm smile.
Glancing at Liu Shimin, Li Shimin slowly stretched out his hand towards him. Liu Shili did not hesitate. He immediately put his finger on Li Shimin's wrist. Just a moment later, Liu Shili narrowed his eyes and smiled at Li Shimin. He said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. The remaining poison in Your Majesty's body has been completely removed. There will be no future troubles."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded slightly and retracted his hand. He said leisurely: "The effect of this poison is indeed good. It seems that you have a lot of good products on hand. But I want to You know. If you really want to poison a person, and you want him to die silently, and no problem can be found after death. Do you have such poison?"
"Oh." After listening to Li Shimin's request, Liu Shili looked at him meaningfully and said with a smile: "It's not like I don't have such poisons. But compared to what the prince used this time, this kind of poison is It’s very precious. But I don’t know who the prince wants to leave this poison to. If it’s someone who doesn’t have enough status, I’m afraid they won’t have that blessing.”
"I think his identity is definitely sufficient." When Li Shimin answered Liu Shili's question, his face no longer had the coldness before. Instead, it was replaced by a ferocious look that had never been shown on his face. Li Shimin took a look. Li Shimin lifted the quilt covering himself and stood up from the bed. Although his body was still shaking a little, Li Shimin still had a gloomy face and shouted: "Prince of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Wanhe of Liang."
"Ka." The moment Li Shimin finished saying this, there was another slight noise from outside the room. Li Shimin and Liu Shili immediately turned their heads to the door at the same time. And just when they were about to ask questions, from Another call came from outside the room: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty."
"It's Chai Shao." Li Shimin immediately frowned and gave instructions to Liu Shili behind him. When he turned his head back, he returned to his previous indifferent smile and walked directly behind the door. .Opened the door. Outside the door, Chai Shao was about to knock on the door and come in. As soon as the door opened, Chai Shao was also stunned. When Li Shimin saw Chai Shao, he also smiled and said: "Chai Shao, you are looking for me. .”
"Ah, my lord, you can stand up now." Chai Shao also looked at Li Shimin in surprise. When he left just now, Li Shimin was still lying on the bed. Why did he stand up now?
When Chai Shao asked, Li Shimin immediately laughed and said, "You have to stand up and move around after lying in bed for a long time. Otherwise, all the bones in your body will become stiff."
Regarding Li Shimin's answer, Chai Shao did not look suspicious. He nodded and immediately said: "By the way, Xiuning is over there in the Zhuyuan. But the courtyard door is locked. She asked me to ask the prince for it. The key opens the lock."
"Haha. You kid, you haven't even married yet, and you are being taken care of by your elder sister." Hearing Chai Shao's words, Li Shimin also laughed and teased Chai Shao. At the same time, he took out a key from his waist and directly He threw it to Chai Shao and said with a smile: "Take it and leave it with my eldest sister for now. Give me the key after she comes out."
"Okay." After taking the key from Li Shimin, Chai Shao also nodded with a smile. Not only did Chai Shao not feel embarrassed about Li Shimin's joke just now, but he looked happy. He scratched the back of his head and went straight to it. Turned around and left.
After Chai Shao left, Li Shimin also looked left and right outside the room. After confirming that no one was there, he closed the door. At this time, Liu Shili, who had been hiding behind the door, also appeared and glanced at the door. Then he said: "He really didn't hear it."
"Probably not." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Chai Shao was harmed by Wan He and almost ruined his marriage with his eldest sister. So he also hated Wan He with all his heart. If Chai Shao really heard what I just said, he would have been a long time ago. I can’t bear it any longer. Okay, let’s get back to the topic. What do you think of what I just said?”
Li Shimin mentioned what he had said before. Liu Shili's eyes immediately narrowed into slits. But he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have made it very clear before. My subordinates cannot enter Luoyang City at all now. Not to mention getting close to Wan He. I’m afraid there’s nothing my subordinates can do about this poisoning.”
Seeing that Liu Shili was about to refuse, Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute. You have misunderstood me. What I mean is that I don't want you to go to Luoyang to poison me, because there is no need at all. Wan He is in Chang'an now. I am completely sure. And I also know where Wan He is now."
"Oh." Liu Shili was really surprised this time. But Liu Shili soon returned to his normal expression. He stared at Li Shimin and said meaningfully: "Wanhe is in Chang'an. Since the prince is so sure, why didn't he do it before? Tell the King of Tang. If the King of Tang learns about this, he will immediately mobilize his troops to capture Wanhe. Why would the prince come to ask his subordinates to poison him?"
"Hmph." As soon as Liu Shili mentioned this matter, Li Shimin's eyes were full of resentment. He snorted coldly and walked directly to the center of the wing. Then he turned around sharply and hummed with a gloomy face: "No matter what I say now My father would never believe me. If I hadn’t deliberately drank poisonous wine this time to frame Li Jiancheng, I would have lost the chance to stand up. Now I have no choice but to kill Wan He by myself. He killed him. If I hold his body again, it will prove that I did nothing wrong, and my father will trust me again."
A flash of light flashed in Liu Shili's eyes. However, he very keenly caught a very important detail of what Li Shimin just said. He immediately asked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean? As long as you hold Wan He's body, you can prove that your Majesty." Your innocence. Could it be that this Wan He is not showing up with his true face now. Instead, he is pretending to be someone. He appears among the dignitaries in Chang'an. As far as my subordinates know, this Wan He is not a bold person. .He really dares to do this."
"Humph." Li Shimin snorted coldly again. He held his head high and hummed: "That's because you don't understand Wan He yet. Although this person seems to be timid, in fact, when necessary, he is very bold. When he was just starting out, he launched a sneak attack on the Kanto bandit coalition with more than a hundred men on Wangma Mountain. Later, in the battle of Yanmen Pass, he was even more adept at making decisions. He sent troops to Yanmen Pass to relieve the siege of Yanmen Pass. The world misunderstood the illusion and thought that Wan He was just a man. A businessman's son only achieved this through good luck. But I don't see it that way. This man is a talented man, and he is definitely not inferior to me."
If Wan He heard Li Shimin speak so highly of himself here, Wan He would probably burst into laughter. But Liu Shili didn't smile. Instead, he frowned thoughtfully. A long time passed. Liu Shili asked Li Shimin: "Then, Prince, who is Wan He pretending to be?"
Li Shimin slowly walked to the window. Through the gap in the window, he looked at the yard outside the window. The ray of sunlight shone through the gap on Li Shimin's face. Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up under the sunlight. Then he clenched his fist tightly and shouted in a deep voice: "The person Wan He is pretending to be is Qian Que, who is now Li Jiancheng's guest minister."
"Qian Que." Liu Shili was obviously startled by the name Li Shimin read out. He recalled Qian Que's appearance in his mind. Then he said in a deep voice: "How could he be this person? Regardless of his appearance. This person There is a huge difference in body shape between Wan He and Wan He. Wan He has a thin body. How could he be so fat?"
Li Shimin did not hesitate at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes and kept turning the ring on his thumb with his fingers. He said: "There is nothing strange about this. If I remember correctly, you once said... He is also surrounded by a group of extraordinary people to help him. You should know better than me the abilities of people in the world. Maybe someone can make Wan He become fat in a short time. Unfortunately, Wan He has now obtained Li Jiancheng With the trust of my father, I have no way to attack him. In short, as long as I can poison Wan He and capture his body, I can prove in public that Qian Que is Wan He."
Obviously, Liu Shili found it difficult to digest such news for a while. He quickly asked: "How did the prince know that this Qianqian was Wanhe? His subordinates sent so many people before, but they didn't find this out. .”
"It's very simple. Because I planted spies in the Prince's Mansion very early. When my father allowed me to search Chang'an to find Wan He's whereabouts, Li Jiancheng also called everyone to discuss countermeasures." Next, Li Shimin actually discussed the matter in the Prince's Mansion that day. He told the whole process. Then he said: "Qian Que proposed such an idea to Li Jiancheng. Immediately afterwards, news came that Wan He had appeared in Hebei. Don't you think the whole thing is too Was it a coincidence? Later, when I was toasting to him at the Prince's Mansion, I discovered that Qian Que's expression didn't even change at all after drinking a glass of strong wine. Doesn't this mean that there is something wrong with this person's face? Also, since Qian Que is a businessman, but he is able to speak well, then Wan He was the top scholar in the scientific examination. No matter how much water there is in it, I heard later that he also opened his mouth and read out a poem in the same way at Yang Guang's banquet. A good poem. The two correspond to each other. This money shortage must be Wanhe."
