Chapter 244 If you want to play, play it big (Part 2)
"Seventh brother..."
Piaotian literature in the British palace Θ
"We are all brothers, and the eighth brother does not need to see anyone outside. If something happens, we have agreed to it. As long as we can help as brothers, we will not let the eighth brother down."
When Li Xian saw Li Xulun's expression, he immediately guessed that he must have come to convey Empress Wu's secret order. Although he didn't want to hear it at all, Li Xian would not be stingy if he should give Li Xulun face. Then he smiled and said something comforting.
"Thank you, Seventh Brother, for your love." Upon hearing Li Xian's words, Li Xulun's anxious heart immediately relaxed. After thanking him, he mused for a moment: "So that Seventh Brother can know that there was a relationship between my mother and my younger brother before and after I came here." I confessed that although Wu Minzhi is unworthy, he is a relative of the country after all, and the Tian family still needs the dignity. If it goes too far, there will be no room for the world to laugh. Seventh brother, look at this..."
Decent? What a big joke, that old thief actually has to take dignity into consideration? Haha, I dare you to see the sun coming out from the west! Hearing the reason given by Empress Wu, Li Xian secretly sneered in his heart. In his opinion, Empress Wu was so A person with no shame even has no family ties, how can he have any dignity at all? However, Li Xian would not tell Li Xulun about these thoughts, but smiled and nodded and said: "Of course this is , Queen Mother Shengming, as sons, we should do what we can do."
"Ha, that's right. I know that with Seventh Brother's wisdom, he will not be deceived by villains." Li Xulun was young after all, and did not hear the true meaning of Li Xian's words - what can be done? What is it? If it can be done, then it's not Li Xian who has the final say. Being fooled by Li Xian, he immediately clapped his hands happily.
"As my eighth brother has said, different parties have different political views. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong until we see the truth. Besides, even if you are on the wrong side, you are not necessarily a villain. After all, they are all thinking about the interests of the country. "Li Xianduo was a shrewd person. He knew that Li Xulun was wrong as soon as he heard it, but he didn't want to point it out and just explained a few words along with his words with a smile.
"Seventh brother taught me a lesson, and I learned a lesson, but I heard someone say a strange thing about the prince brother. It was said that the prince brother, that, ah, seemed to be in trouble, but he fell in love with it. An actor..." As soon as Li Xulun relaxed, he dared to say anything, and actually exposed the prince's shortcomings in front of Li Xian.
"Eighth brother, don't talk nonsense. The prince's brother is a semi-king, and we are not allowed to criticize him randomly. Please be careful!"
Li Xian knows the prince's affairs many times better than Li Xulun. There is no need for Li Xulun to inform him. Besides, Li Xulun can talk nonsense. After all, he has not yet opened a palace, but Li Xian can't. If he really wants to let anyone know, After this discussion, it was not fun to have someone get a ginseng book without a place, so he waved his hand and interrupted Li Xulun's words with a displeased look on his face.
"Seventh Brother, I am not just talking nonsense. The truth is that this matter has spread in the palace. The queen mother got angry and killed many of the messengers. Really, I will never dare to deceive Brother Seventh with lies." Seeing Li Xian's cold face, Li Xulun couldn't help but become anxious and explained with a red face.
Sure enough, paper can't cover the fire. The prince is getting married. It would be strange if he doesn't help. It seems that the prince is really going to fight for his life this time! When the prince's marriage was agreed upon, Li Xian He had already anticipated the current situation, so it was no surprise that the news had spread. What Li Xian really cared about was how Empress Wu planned to use this matter.
"Oh? What does the Queen Mother have to say about this?"
Li Xian raised his brows, as if he was persuaded by Li Xulun, and hurriedly asked.
"The Queen Mother didn't say anything else. Ah, I once heard the Queen Mother sigh with emotion. It really has something to do with Brother Seventh."
Seeing Li Xian's face softening, Li Xulun relaxed, tilted his head, and said in a reminiscing tone.
"Is it related to being a brother?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't know how the prince's sexual ability had anything to do with him.
"My little brother only heard half of what he said. Empress Wu said that it would be great if the prince brother could be half as wise as the seventh brother." Li Xulun said with a hint of excitement on his face.
Haha, this old thief really does everything she can. She used such clumsy instigation tactics. It’s so ridiculous! Li Xian knew Empress Wu’s character too well. How could he not know that Empress Wu was simply an ambitious and ruthless person? The reason why Li Xulun was sent to deliver such a message was naturally not to promote Li Xian to the throne, but to slow down the attack.
"Eighth brother, don't mention these words again in the future. Otherwise, not only will brother be in trouble, but also the eighth brother will have to suffer. Remember!" Li Xian was not excited by Empress Wu's praise at all, but his expression changed. Yishen gave the order in a very cautious tone.
"Ah, yes, I have remembered it."
Li Xulun was excited when he suddenly saw Li Xian's expression was solemn. He couldn't help but be startled and hurriedly bowed to answer.
"Just remember, since I have taken over this case, I have to do some homework, so I won't keep my eighth brother. After the case is concluded, I will hold a banquet and have a drink with my eighth brother."
Now that he had figured out the purpose of Li Xulun's visit, Li Xian did not intend to bother him any more, so he issued an order to expel the guest.
"As soon as it's settled, I'll take my leave first, and seventh brother will stay."
Li Xulun's talk was very reserved, but when he heard what Li Xian said, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He could only stand up obediently, bowed and left.
"Gao Miao!"
Li Xian sent Li Xulun out of the second door, then turned back to the study, picked up the imperial edict that was placed on the table, weighed it a few times, and suddenly raised his voice and drank.
"The slave is here!"
Gao Miao had been waiting outside the study for a long time. When he heard Li Xian's voice, he did not dare to show any hesitation. He rushed into the study and bowed to answer.
"I will immediately take the imperial decree, lead some people to the imperial prison, and put Helan Minzhi under the custody of Gu. No one is allowed to see him in private without Gu's warrant. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy! Also, notify Luo Tong. , spread your hands and closely monitor the outside of the imperial prison. If you find anything, report it immediately and go away!" Li Xian casually threw the imperial edict to Gao Miao and ordered in a gloomy tone.
"Yes, I obey the order!"
Gao Miao never discounted Li Xian's orders and didn't ask for the reason. He accepted the imperial edict and hurried out of the study, not mentioning his own personnel.
Isn't it just a conspiracy? Who is afraid of who? If you want to play, let's play it big this time! Li Xian ignored Gao Miao's actions and stroked his chin with his hand, calculating carefully, the expression on his face It's getting more and more fierce...
In the study room of Ningde Palace in the East Palace, Prince Li Hong, dressed in bright yellow single clothes, was pacing back and forth with an indifferent expression. He seemed to be very leisurely, but the sweat beads on his forehead revealed the anxiety and annoyance in his heart - the stakes were too high. It's a little bigger. Li Hong has already put all his chips on the table. It's okay to win, but if he loses, he will have to lose everything, not to mention his position as the prince, and even his own life. There is no guarantee that Li Hong will not be anxious, but now, his fate is no longer completely in his hands, but depends more on Li Xian's preference.
Li Hong had never really understood Li Xian, but there was one thing that Li Hong was certain about. That was that Li Xian seemed to hate Empress Wu very much, and often acted in opposition to Empress Wu. As for the reason, what did Li Hong do? He also couldn't understand, and what Li Hong couldn't understand even more was that Li Xian actually chose to turn to Li Xian instead of himself as the prince. He really didn't understand what benefits Li Xian would gain from such a choice. He just wanted to enter the East Palace. Isn't it? It's not like it's just because of a rapport? That's even more nonsense. Li Hong remembers clearly that when Li Xian was young, he was often bullied by Li Xian. There is no such thing as a rapport. I don't understand, Li Xian Hong couldn't figure it out, but the facts were right in front of him. No matter what Li Hong thought, Li Xian was now on Li Xian's side. In this sense, there was no guarantee that Li Xian would It is possible that he might secretly pull a dirty trick to help Li Xian take over the East Palace. If so, something bad would happen!
"Your Highness, there is news!"
Just as Li Hong was thinking wildly, Wang Dequan, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly broke into the study room and started shouting without even bothering to salute.
"Oh? Say it quickly!"
Hearing the noise, Li Hong suddenly raised his head, stared at Wang Dequan with sharp eyes, and asked urgently.
"Not long after His Royal Highness King Yin left the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness sent a large number of people to Dali Temple and took control of the prison where Wu Minzhi was detained. All the original prisons were cleared. Furthermore, Dali A large number of suspicious people appeared outside the temple, suspected to be the secret agents of the King of England." Seeing Li Hong's anxiety, Wang Dequan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported all the news he knew.
"It's begun, it's finally begun..."
After listening to Wang Dequan's report, Li Hong's thin body suddenly trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed, murmuring.
"Your Highness, I suspect that His Highness King Yin may have secretly conveyed the Queen's secret decree. Now that the matter is urgent, do we need to inform His Royal Highness the King of England to enter the palace for a while?" Looking at Li Hong's worried face, Wang Dequan swallowed with difficulty. He spit, tentatively making suggestions.
"No, prepare two sets of plain clothes and go to the seventh brother's house in person!"
After Li Hong thought for a moment, he rejected Wang Dequan's proposal and planned to rush to the Prince's Mansion in person to find out what was going on.
"Ah, this..."
It is not a trivial matter for the prince to leave the palace in plain clothes. If there is no surprise, it would be a big deal if he was taken by ginseng. Especially at such a sensitive time, it is a fatal matter. How could Wang Dequan dare to accept it easily? He was shocked. Dumbfounded.
"Humph, the sixth one can condescend, why can't I? Why don't you hurry up and get ready!"
Li Hong had made up his mind and could not change it. Seeing that Wang Dequan had not responded for a long time, Li Hong immediately frowned and snorted in displeasure.
"Ah, yes, slave, I obey."
Seeing that Li Hong was displeased, Wang Dequan did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly responded, exiting the study in a hurry, and went to arrange related matters.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, what are your plans?"
After Wang Dequan left, Li Hong did not calm down. Instead, he walked quickly back and forth in the study. After a long time, he stopped, shook his head, and asked questions... @ya
