Chapter 101: Both sides act separately
Palace
"See His Royal Highness King De'an. The chamberlain outside the emperor's dormitory saluted Lie Wuxue.
"Is Father in there?"
"Back to Your Highness, the emperor is inside, but now Your Highness is afraid that it is inconvenient to go in. "The waiter will be fierce with his eyes.
"Oh, don't worry, this king understands. Lie Wuxue smiled like a man.
"Your Highness Xie is accommodating. The chamberlain nodded repeatedly.
Lie Wuxue left the emperor's dormitory and went to the imperial garden to secretly meet with the little chamberlain arranged by the emperor's side.
"Your Highness. The little chamberlain saluted.
"How?" Lie Wu Xue lowered his voice.
"Back to Your Highness, everything is under control. The little chamberlain replied, "Your Majesty is now gradually delirious, and only a moment and a half a day are awake. In the past few days, His Majesty has been drunk and dreaming of death in the dormitory, and if His Highness reports this matter to His Majesty now, while His Majesty is still unconscious, maybe a will can condemn the prince and demote him to a concubine. ”
"Good, well done. Lie Wuxue nodded, "But this matter still can't be careless, don't be too underestimated." ”
"Your Highness rest assured, your subordinates will keep an eye on it, and if there is any trouble, they will report to Your Highness in time. "The little waiter is in charge.
"Go down first, and don't be discovered. Lie Wuxue said coldly.
"Yes. The little chamberlain looked around cautiously and made sure it was safe before leaving.
"Your Highness, the Black Dragon Army belonging to us has secretly assembled outside the city in case of emergency. "The strategist who followed Lie Wu Acupoint said to Lie Wu Acupoint.
"Good. Lie Wuxue smiled, "Now this king can be completely relieved." ”
"Let's go, I guess the time is almost up, now go and meet my father. Lie Wuxue smiled coldly.
......
"Your Highness. Seeing that King De'an was coming, the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness is suitable, the emperor has just dismissed those beauties, and now he has rested for a while, so he should have time to see His Highness." ”
"Okay, lead the way. "There is no acupuncture point.
When Lie Wu Xue entered, Emperor Zhaolie was lying on the dragon couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, he rubbed his temples, and heard the report of the servant, before he opened his eyes and looked at Lie Wu Acupoint.
"The son of the minister saw his father. Lie Wuxue bowed very respectfully.
"Hmm. Emperor Zhaolie said lazily, "Here, what's the matter?"
"Back to his father, Erchen found the key witness in the prince's case, and went to the Criminal Department in the morning to ask the Criminal Department Shangshu to preside over the interrogation, and the Criminal Department Shangshu said that this matter is very important, or should be decided by the father, so Erchen came to the palace to meet his father and ask his father to adjudicate. ”
"Hmm. Emperor Zhaolie still nodded, seeing that Lie Wuxue was waiting for his reply, Emperor Zhaolie just yawned lazily, and said a little tiredly, "Such a matter, you can discuss it with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, if the prince really has bad intentions, he will be directly demoted to a concubine, and there is no need to discuss it with me." ”
"But it's hard for the ministers to explain there, after all, the matter of abolishing the crown prince is very important......" Lie Wuxue's eyes were strange, as if he was waiting for Emperor Zhaolie to be convicted personally.
Sure enough, the medicine he ordered his chamberlain to secretly worked, and Emperor Zhaolie was now dizzy in his mind, and he had no time to judge what Lie Wuxue was talking about, just a strong "uh-huh" or nodded.
Seeing that Emperor Zhaolie did not react, Lie Wuxue continued, "Since the father is tired, it is not good for the ministers to disturb your rest, so the sons will go down to prepare the edict on their behalf, and then the father and the emperor can press the big seal." ”
"Hmm. Emperor Zhaolie yawned again, Lie Wuxue made a look, and the ministers on the left and right stepped forward to change the clothes for Emperor Zhaolie and serve him to sleep. The corners of Lie Wuxue's mouth rose slightly, and he retreated to the side of the emperor's desk and drafted an edict.
After a while, the eldest grandson Chi also entered the palace, and was about to walk to the emperor's bedroom, the spies arranged by Lie Wuxue reported in advance, Lie Wuxue sped up his speed, quickly drafted the edict, and pressed the emperor's jade seal, and when the eldest grandson Chi came in, Lie Wuxue was about to leave with the edict, and the two happened to bump into each other at the door.
"What is His Royal Highness King De'an holding in his hand?" Eldest Sun Chi looked at Lie Wuxue with a cold face.
"Naturally, it was an edict issued by my father. Lie Wuxue was not flustered, but just looked at Changsun Chi with a smile. "My father has just fallen asleep, if His Royal Highness has nothing important, it's better not to go in and disturb him. ”
"What is the edict in the hands of King De'an?" the eldest grandson approached slowly, not reluctantly.
"Naturally, it's an edict about Prince Yu. Lie Wuxue sneered, "This king still has something to do, take the first step, and the prince of the world please take care of himself." ”
"You!" Eldest Sun Chi couldn't stop Lie Wuxue, and his face was a little angry. He looked inside, knowing that it was useless to ask to see the emperor at this time, so it was better to quickly tell Lie Beiyao the news, so he quickly left the palace and rushed to the princess's mansion.
......
"You said that Lie Wuxue got the holy decree?" Lie Beiyao frowned, "Sure enough..."
"What should we do now?" Eldest Sun Chi asked, "The emperor has just fallen asleep, and even at this time, it will be fruitless." ”
"Let's go to the prison of the Criminal Department first. Yelan said, "The palace still has to keep an eye on it, see the time to see the emperor, and hand over the evidence to the emperor." ”
"Okay, then we'll split up. Liebei Yao said, "Eldest Sun Chi, you take the guards to the palace to guard first, and Yelan and I will go to the criminal department first." ”
Although he was dissatisfied that Yelan and Lie Beiyao were together, the eldest grandson Chi could only endure it for the sake of the overall situation, and he didn't have much right and wrong.
The eldest grandson Chi took the first step back to the Guogong Mansion, and here Lie Beiyao was just about to prepare the carriage to go to the Criminal Department, but Yelan pulled her back.
"Not just the two of us. Yelan opened his mouth very decisively, "This is a tough battle, and you must bring some people." ”
"What do you mean......" Lie Beiyao frowned slightly, her brain racing.
"I have definite news, your half-brother Lie Wuxue has transferred some of the Northern Xuan Black Dragon Army to be stationed outside the city, and his own government soldiers are also with him to protect him. Yelan said.
"I can understand the Lie Wu Xue Mobilization Army, but why do you want to mobilize the Black Dragon Army. Don't... It's the palace!" Lie Beiyao had a feeling of sudden realization, "Last time, my brother angered my father, and my father also moved the idea of abolishing the prince and demoting him to a concubine, but my father summoned all the courtiers to discuss and announce in the court, and there was no more than a decree for a prince to do things." ”
"In this way, you first let Lie Yunfeng and Lie Yunlin go to the Criminal Department with you, and I will transfer some people over. Yelan said, "The Red Flag Crusaders and the soldiers of the Princess Mansion don't move for the time being. ”
"I understand that. There was no need for Yelan to explain more, Lie Beiyao understood why he said this.
"It's just... You brought someone from Jiuchen?" asked Lie Beiyao tentatively.
"If you dispatch Jiuchen's men and horses, won't Jiuchen also fall into right and wrong? I, a prince, don't have this decision-making power for the time being. ”
"That ......"
Seeing that Lie Beiyao was puzzled, Yelan showed a sly smile, he quietly approached Lie Beiyao's ear and whispered a few words in her ear.
"The Templar Ice Guard. ”
"What?!" Lie Beiyao was taken aback, and then she was a little nervous, "But like this... Will your identity be revealed..."
"Don't worry, for you, what's the point of exposure?" Yelan said playfully, "It's not too early, we will also act separately, I think Lie Wuxue should be in the prison of the Criminal Department at this time." ”
"Okay, be careful. Lie Beiyao nodded.
