"His Royal Highness, it is a crime of death to debase one's position!"
Li Kuosheng fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed and apologized.
So many soldiers suddenly broke into the room. Li Heng, who was sitting on the big carved bed, was also shocked. When he saw that the man was actually Li Kuo, the new Shule military envoy, Li Heng was shocked and angry. He hurriedly covered himself up.
Wearing a Chinese tunic, he tremblingly pointed at Li Kuo and asked, "General Li, what's going on? Why did you bring so many soldiers into the house in the middle of the night?"
Li Kuo's heart sank, and he thought for a moment and said: "If I go back to His Highness the Crown Prince, I was chasing a group of thieves here. I saw them escaping into the mansion with my own eyes, so..."
"Li Kuo! Let me ask you again, why did you enter the house late at night and who ordered you to do so?"
Li Heng didn't believe this rhetoric at all and scolded him sternly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness wants to make the decision for the slave family." The woman on the bed, about thirty years old, was twisting a thin sheet to cover her chest, sobbing.
"That's enough, don't bother Gu!" Li Heng felt angry and glanced at the woman. Turning back, Li Heng said coldly: "Li Kuo, Gu is asking you something."
Li Kuo sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that he could not get away with it, so he simply told the truth.
"What? You said you thought this was Gao Xiuyan's private residence?" Li Heng was shocked after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "Aren't there patrol guards in this mansion? Why didn't they stop you?"
"Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good." The steward ran into the house in a panic and shouted: "A group of soldiers broke in."
When he turned around, he realized that the person he was talking about was right in front of him, and he hurriedly said: "It's them, it's them. Your Highness, it's them who broke in regardless of everything."
Only then did Li Kuo realize that this steward had a pale face and a high-pitched voice. He was really a chamberlain in the palace!
Realizing that something might be wrong, Li Kuo couldn't care less about the false courtesy. He cupped his fists at Li Heng and said, "May I ask your highness who this girl is..."
"How dare you!" The steward pointed at Li Kuo's nose and said, "How dare you, a blind little soldier leader, to point fingers at Empress Wei and not accuse her!"
Empress Wei! Li Kuo’s mind exploded. It seemed that this person was undoubtedly the former Crown Princess Wei. (Note 1)
Growing up in Chang'an City, how could Li Kuo not know Wei Shi's name? Ever since she was appointed as the crown prince, Wei Shi had been in love with the prince. However, the Wei Jian case in Tianbao five years later broke the story.
After this good marriage, Wei Jian was convicted and died, and the prince was also jealous of the emperor. Li Kuo only knew that after that, the prince wrote a letter of divorce and divorced Wei. After that, there was no trace of Wei's family anymore.
information.
Why does this Weishi appear in this private residence now? Why did His Highness the Crown Prince meet Concubine Wei here?
"May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince, is this house your Highness's private property?" Li Kuo suddenly had a terrible thought flash in his mind and asked anxiously.
Li Heng calmed down the anger in his heart and snorted, "Yes."
"I dare to ask this humble question, is this house used to imprison Queen Wei?"
"Bold! Li Kuo, this is Gu's family matter, you, what qualifications do you have to ask?" Li Heng shouted loudly, trembling all over.
"Your Highness, this is not a sign of debasement and disrespect, but this is probably a poisonous plot set up by a traitor. I hope Your Highness will tell you the truth. This debasement of your position makes it easier for analysis."
Li Kuo was neither humble nor arrogant, he raised his hands and answered.
Li Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. This house was indeed the place where Kun'er was imprisoned. After he was forced to divorce Kun'er, she has been confined here, but how could he reveal such secrets of the palace.
"Your Highness only needs to answer yes or no!"
"You!" Li Heng was stunned by the young man. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a long time, he nodded and sighed: "Yes."
"That's it." Li Kuo exhaled and said, "If I guess correctly, this must be a trap set by Gao Xiuyan."
Li Heng asked anxiously: "What, the trap set by Gao Xiuyan?" Li Heng felt that he was getting more and more confused. At first, he just thought that Li Kuo had stumbled into this other industry by mistake, but it seemed that there was something hidden in this situation.
.
"Yes, I was originally investigating Gao Xiuyan's affair with Tibet, and I followed the clues and found this place. I thought I could finally understand this matter, but who knew, alas..."
Li Kuo cupped his hands and told all the causes and consequences.
"Hurry up and take a look outside with me!" Li Heng felt that something was not good, so he stood up and got out of bed. He quickly put on a robe and walked out of the inner room anxiously.
"Hiss." Li Heng shuddered as soon as he left the house. There was no guard in the huge mansion.
"Where are the guards? Where are the guards!" Li Heng was completely furious. All the guards in the mansion had disappeared. If it was not Li Kuo who led the troops in just now but an assassin, then he would most likely be dead by now.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, this old slave doesn't know either. I almost broke my throat from shouting just now, and I didn't see General Wu or the others coming out."
The waiter immediately poured out his bitter words, one sentence after another.
"That's enough!" Li Heng didn't have time to listen to the waiter's complaints. He just wanted to know who was behind the scenes.
"General, general!" Li Sheng rushed into the mansion with a dozen soldiers, shouting loudly.
"How dare you not kneel down when you see His Highness the Crown Prince!" The chamberlain had been 'bullied' by the soldiers before, but with the Crown Prince backing him up now, how could he not get angry? He put his hands on his hips, scolded in a sharp voice, and sprayed the spittle all over Li.
On the face.
Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he knelt down and said, "General, I will see the Crown Prince Thousand Years Old!"
Li Heng was not in the mood to listen to his salute, waved his hand and said: "Get up, why were you so flustered just now?"
"Reply to Your Highness!" Li Sheng said with a calm mind: "Jin Wu's guards suddenly rushed out from all around and have surrounded the mansion!"
"This is happening!" Li Heng bit his lip and said with a sad smile: "It seems that Xiang Guo is going to put Gu Gu to death this time. Forget it, you can go out with Gu Gu to see who is singing this big show!"
"As you command!"
At this point, there was no better choice. Li Kuo sighed and followed Li Heng and walked out.
As soon as they left the mansion, they were blinded by the dazzling fire. Nearly a thousand Jinwu guards had already arrived on horseback, surrounding the mansion with water.
The person leading it is none other than the new Jinwu Guard General Gao Xiuyan!
Clearly, everything is instantly clear!
Seeing that the person coming was Gao Xiuyan, Li Heng smiled and said, "I wonder why General Gao came to Gu's Bieye late at night?"
Gao Xiuyan turned over and dismounted, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I heard the sound of fighting and clashing in Chongye Square, so I sent someone to check. Who would have thought that more than a hundred soldiers were actually found outside your residence!"
Gao Xiuyan was prepared in advance and answered smoothly. These hundred soldiers were the ironclad proof. No matter how much Li Heng denied it, it would be useless.
"Oh? That's weird. These more than a hundred people are all General Li's subordinates. How can they kill each other and make the sound of fighting and clashing?"
Gao Xiuyan laughed and said: "Your Highness, you are happily reminiscing about the past in the red quilt tent, so naturally you don't know what is going on outside. Well, I will search for you to see if I can find any clues!"
"You!" Li Heng never thought that Gao Xiuyan would dare to be so presumptuous, and he choked on his words for a moment.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with rage. If looks could kill, Gao Xiuyan would probably have died several times now.
After a long time, Li Heng closed his eyes, shook his head, and finally relaxed. "That's it, it's up to you!"
Note 1: The Wei Jian case in the fifth year of Tianbao really frightened Li Heng. The direct consequence of this case was that Li Heng divorced the Crown Princess Wei.
