Li Ke was in a very low mood. He had returned to the palace excitedly to fight for the right to use the airship for his friends. Unexpectedly, just after lunch, news came that his father and mother were poisoned, and then the prince, Li Taihe
Li Zhi, the emperor's legitimate sons, but he himself is doing well.
Even a fool knows that the current situation is not good for him. Li Ke feels very uneasy. Although he did not do it, if someone really wants to frame him, he can't explain it with a hundred mouths.
The palace was in chaos, so he had to temporarily take over the management of the order in the palace. Relying on Li You and Li An? Those two people who always caused chaos and couldn't do anything well? He just hoped that they would be more honest, and he would be grateful.
He didn't have to worry about hiring the imperial doctor, Eunuch Gao just took care of it. The maids and eunuchs who came out to inquire about information in various palaces were enough to annoy him, not to mention that he had to seal off the palace, including all the halls, to prevent people from wandering around.
He walked around, but there were really not many people who listened to him, especially those empresses. Because of his lack of status, there were a lot of conflicts.
After a busy day, he went to see his father. Li You and Li An really didn't cause him any trouble. They just leaned in front of Li Shimin's bed and pretended to be dutiful sons. Li Ke didn't want to say anything.
Sun Simiao was guarding him, so he felt relieved and rested for a while. The first thing his father said when he woke up was that he should not take care of the affairs in the palace and leave them to Lin Yi. Co-authored by his biological son
Not as trustworthy as his godson? Although he could understand his father's thoughts, Li Ke's heart was still hurt.
Then he left the palace gloomily and came to look for Dongfang Shuo, but he was in vain. The small courtyard had been deserted for a long time, and he found out after asking around. Yesterday, not long after he left, Dongfang Shuo packed up his things and left.
I didn't want to wait for him at all.
Li Ke smiled bitterly. How could this be a return to his hometown? He was obviously running away for his life. Could it be that... the things in the palace had something to do with him? As soon as this thought came up, Li Ke shook his head and denied it. How could it be possible? He was in the palace.
It must be a coincidence that Chuuya doesn't know anyone, but what on earth did he commit? He ran away without even asking for his permission?
Could it be that even a prince of his own could not protect him?
"You mean, third brother went to a small courtyard today, but there was no one there? Did he go there often before?" Changle asked the soldier who came back to report. It was not that she wanted to check on Li Ke, but that was the order of the emperor.
"I go there often. I heard that a man named Dongfang Shuo lives in that courtyard. He hasn't been in the capital for a long time."
"Check his background." Although Changle believed that his third brother would not do such a stupid thing, someone might take advantage of him.
"There's no need to check. He's from the Jian Cult. Did he run away? Send someone to catch him."
"Queen mother? Are you awake? Great." Changle turned his head and quickly ran to Queen Changsun's bed.
Everyone is awake. Only the queen mother has been in a coma, maybe because her body is too weak. Changle is very worried, so he stays here and takes care of things.
"How is your father?" Queen Changsun asked. She ate with Li Shimin. Although she fainted first, the emperor couldn't escape if he was poisoned.
"Don't worry. My father is fine, and the crown prince's brother is fine too. The fourth brother and the ninth brother have also woken up and are fine." Chang Le reported and wanted to comfort his mother.
"What? They are all poisoned?" Queen Changsun was shocked. She thought she and the emperor were the only ones. It turned out that the target of the poisoner was their family. No wonder Changle was checking Li Ke. So far, he is the biggest
A suspect.
Empress Changsun frowned slightly. She knew something about Li Ke's child. He was quite knowledgeable and thought highly of himself, but he was too aloof. It was definitely not something he could do.
"Mother, everyone is fine, don't worry." Changle said nervously, the mother's health was not good to begin with, and if she gets angry in a hurry, the old disease will relapse and it will be tragic.
"I'm fine, Changle. Pay attention to the little eunuch next to Qingque. He seems to be from the Ji'an sect too." Queen Changsun ordered. During this time, she had just found some clues. Some people were sure, but like Zhu Kun
, she was just suspicious, because the person who reported the report said that he had contact with people from the Jian Cult once, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"Okay, leave the matter to me. Now my father has handed over all matters in the palace to Brother Yi. Queen mother, you can rest peacefully." Changle covered Queen Changsun with a quilt. Although the palace is now heated,
But Queen Changsun's body was too weak, so she still had to keep warm.
"Okay, be careful. By the way, bring Si Zi over." Empress Changsun missed her little daughter. Si Zi was usually by her side.
"But isn't the Queen tired?" Changle hesitated. Sizi was crying yesterday. Although he couldn't speak yet, his expression and movements were looking for the Queen.
"It's okay, bring her over and let's sleep together." Empress Changsun smiled.
"Okay." Changle brought Sizi over, and she went to find Lin Yi.
Lin Yizheng was sitting in the East Palace, scanning the movements around the palace with his mental power. He didn't want to do this originally, but this was Li Chengqian's request. This incident scared him a little. It was not safe in the palace.
However, Lin Yi was also in a dilemma. How could he find the person who poisoned the place by scanning like this? Everyone's actions were normal. He couldn't always monitor them like this. There wasn't even a target, so it was undoubtedly a useless effort.
"Brother Yi..."
"Shh... don't make any noise, Xiaoyi is looking for the poisoner." Li Chengqian whispered to his sister.
"Oh." Chang Le also stepped carefully, for fear of disturbing Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled helplessly, wondering if these two people considered themselves omnipotent. How could it be so easy to find the poisoner?
"What's going on in Changle?" Lin Yi opened his eyes and asked.
"My mother woke up, and she asked me to pay attention to the little eunuch next to my fourth brother. I thought that if I sent someone there, I might be able to alert the snake, so..." Chang Le smiled and made it clear that he was looking for Lin Yi to do hard work.
.
"Oh, it's much better to have a goal. It's not like Gao Ming who asked me to filter everyone in the palace." Lin Yi glared at Li Chengqian with some annoyance.
"There is no other way. We have to get this done before the New Year, otherwise we won't have a good New Year." Li Chengqian also learned Lin Yi's innocent expression. It's just right to use it now.
Lin Yi rolled his eyes and continued to use his mental power to monitor the little eunuch who was listed as the key point.
"By the way, help pay attention to the third brother." Changle added, she thought it would be good to ask Lin Yi to pay attention. This would better prove the innocence of the third brother, but if it is true... then she can't blame her.
Zhu Kun was feeding Li Tai some porridge. Now that Li Tai had no strength, he didn't have to worry that the fourth prince would get angry and hurt others, but what Wan'er did this time really scared him.
How dare you harm the emperor's family? How courageous is this! Fortunately, he didn't succeed. Otherwise, if the emperor died and Li Tai died, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
The cook committed suicide and cut off the clues there. Wan'er also tried to keep a low profile and stopped contacting others. Although he was pounding in his heart, everything seemed normal on the surface.
"Is there any news?" Li Tai asked in a low voice. Now he couldn't even raise his voice even if he wanted to.
"Not yet. I heard that the King of Zhongshan is investigating, with Princess Changle assisting..." Zhu Kun replied calmly.
"It seems that father is suspicious of third brother." Li Tai moved his fat body.
Zhu Kun did not answer. It was still inconvenient for him to speak about matters within the royal family.
"It must have been done by someone else. As tall as the third brother is, he couldn't even think of this idea." Li Tai murmured.
No matter who the poisoner was, Li Tai hated him anyway.
"I can't go out these days. You can find a way to inform Mr. Hou. I'm going to treat him and his subordinates to a banquet." Li Tai was still thinking about what he heard before he was poisoned, that his father was going to send Mr. Hou to gather.
To attack Tuyuhun, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with those generals and captains. These people will be heroes when they come back and will be reused in the future. It will be too late if you don’t win over them now. Fortunately, I have done a good job during this period, and
I've had dinner with those people twice. I'm not familiar with them, but they're still acquaintances.
As for whether Datang would lose? Li Tai had never even thought about this, it was simply impossible.
The only thing that made him regretful was that Duan Zhixuan would also go and bring a magic team with him. He had to remind General Hou not to let others take away all the credit.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do a good job." Zhu Kun replied respectfully, but in his heart he was plotting against Wan'er.
Although no trace has been found on her now, this palace maid is always a threat to herself. All the activities of Ji'an Cult in the palace are arranged by her. Some people are only known to her. Like herself, if she hadn't been there last time
If you want to arrange an action, you won't let yourself meet the cook at all. So as long as she dies, no one will know that she has done anything for Jianjiao.
But it is not an easy thing to harm her. The woman is wary of anyone and is not easy to get close to. If you want her to die, poisoning is not a good way. It is best to send a master to kill her directly.
.
But he didn't have any experts at his disposal, so how could he take advantage of Li Tai's people without being discovered by him? Zhu Kun was very troubled!
"Where are you going?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
"The little eunuch has left the palace. I'll go with him to have a look. You should rest first. If you need anything, call Chang Le." Lin Yi left without saying a word.
"Leave the palace? Hey... you didn't seal the palace? Didn't the person who poisoned it run away long ago?" Li Chengqian shouted from behind, but Lin Yi had already walked away, or he didn't want to pay attention to him after hearing it. Anyway, Li Chengqian was
Didn't get any response.
"Really, is this okay? Isn't it a bit too unreliable?" Li Chengqian lay on the bed and complained.
"Xiao Yi, how is the emperor?" Lin Yi left the palace and met Lord Changsun head-on.
"The Emperor is fine. He drank the medicine and maybe fell asleep again. Why don't you go in and take a look." Lin Yi smiled and greeted Changsun Wuji.
"Okay, let me go and see where you are going?" Changsun Wuji nodded.
"Go find the person who poisoned you." Lin Yi replied.
"Well, then you have to be careful and let Chong'er help you. He is running around at home worried, and you don't allow them to enter the palace." Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out why Lin Yi would not allow him.
Are these brothers coming into the palace to help?
"Okay, I'll leave first then." Lin Yi smiled and pretended not to see Changsun Wuji being confused. (To be continued.)
