The Long Winter Palace is located in the westernmost side of the Shenwu Palace, as soon as he came here, Li Chengfeng felt that it was worthy of the name, surrounded by snow, and there were long ice ridges under the eaves, one by one like spears and sharp knives, making this place full of a chilling sense of slaughter.

The guards at the door, dressed in white armor and armed with silver spears, seemed to blend in with this plain white world, like ice sculptures, but they didn't look like they were protecting the palace, but like they were preventing the people in the palace from going out, as if this was not a palace, but a prison.

After inspecting the jade pendant, Li Chengfeng and the others had just stepped through the gate of the Changqiu Palace, and they immediately felt as if they had entered another world.

The air all around seemed to be viscous, and the sounds outside suddenly became indistinct, and even the bitter north wind was lost here.

"Here...... There is a forbidden enchantment. Liu Sumei whispered, "My illusion can't be used here, well, the spell can't be used either." You want...... Be careful. ”

Li Chengfeng nodded, but he was not surprised, because the palace was such a huge and important place, if there was no forbidden area, then the great cultivator really didn't want to live one day, and wanted to kill the king, it was really the emperor's most terrible nightmare.

The entire palace is too big, and Daqi simply does not have the manpower and material resources to create such a forbidden area to envelop the entire palace, so he can only selectively select areas for protection.

And the Changdong Palace and the Changqiu Palace are obviously the places to be sheltered, but the question is, since this is the place where the four princes and the crown prince are kept, why should they be sheltered here?

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but have some deep thoughts on this issue.

Perhaps, His Majesty the Emperor did not really want to deal with these two sons, but wanted to protect them?

Walking into the Winter Palace, Zhao Liexian was not here, under the guidance of the eunuchs, Li Chengfeng and others found Zhao Liexian in the backyard of the palace.

This unruly prince sat alone in the gazebo, covered with a fiery red snow fox coat, the whole person was like a solidified flame, he sat on the stone bench on the side of the pavilion, staring intently at the golden carp in the pond that was leisurely spitting bubbles.

Li Chengfeng clearly saw envy in his eyes at this moment, and seemed to be full of yearning for this leisurely and carefree life.

But Li Chengfeng secretly felt strange, since he longed for such a life, why did he stand up and compete for fame and fortune and snatch the throne?

When Li Chengfeng approached, Zhao Liexian also noticed their arrival, he quickly turned his head, and the moment he turned around, his eyes were full of hope and divine light, but after seeing Li Chengfeng, the hope and divine light in Zhao Liexian's eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by deep anger and despair.

Zhao Liexian laughed miserably: "This is not fair! Father still chose the third brother after all...... Don't talk nonsense, is it white silk or poisonous wine?"

Li Chengfeng was secretly stunned for a moment in his heart, and secretly noticed that Zhao Liexian's words seemed to be desperate resentment, but in fact, they were extremely informative.

What does it mean to "choose the third brother after all"?

This shows that Zhao Liexian is mentally prepared for his third brother Zhao Hanqing to become the emperor? Or does he know in his heart that his father is actually still looking for the crown prince in his heart?

If so, then it's too much of a problem!

If he realized that the emperor had the crown prince in his heart, then why did he rise to the throne, and if it was because of ambition and desire, then why did he show a look of yearning for leisure?

Or is it because he is subconsciously tired of such fights and longs for peace?

Li Chengfeng thought quickly in his heart, but he had a smile on his face, saluted Zhao Liexian respectfully, and said, "I'm just here to ask His Highness a few words." ”

Hearing this, although Zhao Liexian's face was still stubborn, his body was subconsciously much slackened, he looked at Li Chengfeng coldly, and said, "Lord Li, although you have been knighted, I'm sorry, you are not qualified to ask this king any questions!"

Li Chengfeng was not angry, and presented the jade pendant in his hand, Zhao Liexian didn't take enough, just glanced at it, and sneered: "Hmph, my little sister...... But it's really an elbow turned out!" As he spoke, he squinted at Li Chengfeng and said, "I sent you to investigate the case, right? Do you know how to investigate the case? If you do, then why do you still come to this king? Don't you know that the most unlikely person in the world to rebel against the king is this king?"

Li Chengfeng was unmoved, and after putting away the jade pendant, he asked respectfully: "It's just that you do things according to the rules, ask Your Highness a few questions and leave." ”

Zhao Lie snorted coldly and said, "The first thing you are looking for is this king?"

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I just came out of the Water Moon Palace before. ”

Zhao Lie laughed first: "It seems that you have two brushes, you can't underestimate it, Lord Li! Yes, this king has been thinking about this long winter palace for a long time, and after thinking about it, he also thinks that Concubine Ming, a slut, is the real murderer!"

Li Chengfeng asked rhetorically: "Oh, why does Your Highness think so? She, like the big teapot, is dependent on Your Majesty to survive, if Your Majesty dies, it will do her no good!"

Zhao Lie first squinted at Li Chengfeng and sneered: "Lord Li, they all say that you are an immortal cultivation genius, although this king does not know how to practice, but this king also admires the cultivation realm you have achieved in such a short period of time. But the cultivation world is completely different from this imperial city world!"

Zhao Lie stood up first, put his hands behind his back, and stood up: "Although this king does not practice, he can deal with cultivators since he was a child, and he knows them very well. Although the world of cultivation is also full of power struggles and intrigues, each of them has a very clear purpose and a very clear desire, and you can see clearly what they want. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid. ”

"The loveliest and most trustworthy people in the world are the ones who have clear desires and clear goals. The most terrible people in the world should be suspected of are those who have no desires and no desires!"

Zhao Lie squinted at Li Chengfeng with a smile and said, "Lord Li, the time you have been in this palace is too short, do you think that everyone you see is really what you give on the surface? Do you know which concubine has the best reputation in the palace?"

"That's right, it's you righteous gentlemen, capable ministers and cadres who are charming and demonic, Concubine Ming! Since she came to her father's side, she has never bullied anyone around her, nor has she taken the initiative to provoke any right and wrong in the harem, there are so many concubines who are jealous of her, plot against her, and even frame her, but she has never confided in her father and told her all this. She treats every palace maid and eunuch in the palace very well, and every palace maid and eunuch who has dealt with Concubine Ming is full of praise for her. ”

Zhao Lie said meaningfully: "Excuse me, Lord Li, do you know what this means?"

Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? So, Concubine Ming is still a virtuous concubine?"

Zhao Lie laughed and said, "She, Concubine Xian, if she is really Concubine Xian, why has she always seduced her father to indulge in lust, why has she always indulged her father to indulge in beauty?"

Li Chengfeng was unmoved, and said: "All this is just His Highness's speculation. ”

Zhao Lie snorted coldly and said, "No, she is too desireless! This king thought about it carefully, after she came to her father's side, everything she did was only one thing: stay by her father's side, let him be obsessed with his beauty, sing every night, and carnival every day!"

Li Chengfeng asked rhetorically: "But in this way, isn't the big teapot even more suspicious? Wouldn't he and Concubine Ming complement each other? Let His Majesty rely on his elixir and can't extricate himself?"

Zhao Lie laughed first, clapped his hands and said: "Lord Li, you are really a smart person! If you talk about suspicion, Concubine Ming is the biggest, and the second is naturally a big teapot!"

Li Chengfeng asked rhetorically: "But if these two people want to murder His Majesty, they can murder for such a long time, why do they have to wait until now?"

Zhao Liexian sneered: "What's the matter now? The water is so muddy now, this is just the right time to start! Moreover, at such a sensitive juncture, once Your Majesty dies, the divine court will shake, the world will be terrified, and the two kings will fight, what will happen, Lord Li, you are so smart, you won't be unexpected, right?"

Zhao Lie stared at Li Chengfeng first, word by word, his demeanor revealed a strong pride and pride, and said: "This king is the prince of Daqi, Zhao."
