Before you know it, it's dark. The lights gradually lit up in the Lizheng Palace, and it was as bright as day in a short time. Originally, it was time to eat, but now everyone in the hall didn't seem to feel hungry, and no palace person dared to remind even half a word. There was still silence inside, and the saint, Li Kun and the others were all motionless, almost stiff; Outside, it still seems to be stagnant, and everyone can hardly hide their sorrow and confusion.

Su Shi suddenly raised his head and looked out of the hall, with a look of worry on his face. Li Qianniang, who was kneeling behind her, rolled her eyes, swept her gaze over everyone, hooked the corners of her mouth, and then sobbed softly, and fell to the ground: "Auntie, brother...... Why hasn't my brother come back yet? Isn't it...... Isn't something wrong? I'm really worried about the safety of my brother and grandpa......"

Her crying, though very soft, broke the silence outside. After Su Shi was slightly stunned, he glanced at her coldly, his expression was complicated, and finally turned flat. She leaned down, naturally not noticing, but crying more and more affectionately, as if she was extremely filial. The Yan family and the other three concubines were sitting not far from the Su family, and they all sat down when they heard it vaguely. Li Hui also woke up from his grief and narrowed his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, Aju has been gone for two hours, right?" Du Shi had already noticed Li Ju's departure, "I haven't entered the palace at this time, so it's really a little strange." Why don't I send some guards to take a look? "The guards she can mobilize are naturally only the guards of the East Palace. But no one was sure that the Su clan would agree to allow the guards of the East Palace to go to the other courtyard and see with their own eyes what Li Song looked like. After all, Li Ju personally went to invite him, and Li Song still did not enter the palace, so it can be seen that his current situation is probably not suitable for outsiders to see.

However, Su Shi did not hesitate, and said, "There are Lao brothers and sisters." ”

Li Qianniang immediately raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "A-Niang...... Why don't you let your cousins take a look? After all...... After all...... after "after all", there are no other words and phrases, but they are enough to teach people to think about it - or is it that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized? Or is it for the sake of the majesty of the heavenly family? Or is it just the over-the-top worry of an ignorant girl?

In any case, there must have been something that could not be leaked in the courtyard. Du Shi and the other three concubines were all moved in their hearts, and their thoughts turned sharply. They have all experienced the change of seizing the heir more than ten years ago, and they have also heard about many things that the abolished prince did in the East Palace. Attempting to rebel is just one of the most serious crimes, and the immoral things he has done are simply filthy! If the mistakes of the past are repeated this time, it really shouldn't be known too much to outsiders.

At least, at this moment, there must be no rumors to teach the seriously ill Empress Qin and the grief-stricken saints to hear!

So, the Wang family and the Yan family glanced at each other, and almost said in unison: "Just let a few of their brothers go and have a look." "The cousins work together, and they should always be able to suppress the affairs of the other courtyard and bring Li Song back to the palace. After all, Li Xin and Li Wei have both been released, and they are both able to start a family and start a business, and they can both support the court.

Hearing this, Li Hui immediately pulled Li Jing and said, "The two brothers should stay here, I don't know what my grandfather will order." I went with Ah Jing, Yankang Fang is closer to Buzheng Fang, and it is convenient to mobilize the troops. "The guards can't be used, but the troops are their own private soldiers, and they will never betray lightly, and it is impossible to spread the news indiscriminately.

Li Xin glanced back at the inner room, as the King of Sipu and the King of Heiyue, they really shouldn't leave at will at such a moment, so he bowed his head and said: "Ah Hui and Ah Jing are also old, just let them go." Call for more parts, and be sure to guard the other courtyards tightly. When my grandmother is better, we will tell my uncle and ask him to decide what to do. ”

Without further ado, Li Hui immediately hurried out of the palace with Li Jing, who was very excited. When she passed by Li Qianniang's side, she suddenly raised her head and showed a sweet smile. He turned a blind eye - the brows of Su and Du, who he had inadvertently glimpsed, moved slightly, and their eyes sank. The Wang family and the Yan family were both a little worried, watching the back of their beloved son from afar.

And Qin An, the Duke of Wu, who was almost ignored by everyone, sat in the corner, looked at the emperors and grandsons lightly, and was silent.

Earlier, Wang Zixian, who had been delayed because he was concentrating on his studies, stayed for a long time in Guozixue. Li Hui came to pick him up at a fixed time every day, early or late. If he didn't see him waiting at the door, he would go into the school building and look for it, and write a few large characters on the remnants of his inkstone. Today, however, he turned the scroll over and over again several times, but he did not wait for his friend to appear.

So, when Wang Zixian came to the side door of Guozixue alone, his face was slightly heavy, and the smile on the corner of his lips was a little perfunctory. Cao Shilang was holding the horse and waiting quietly, and when he saw this, he said in a low voice: "The king Xu couldn't pull away for something for a while, and he came a little late." Ah Lang, why don't you go to the wine shop opposite and wait? I heard that they brewed their own Poqing and it tasted good. If Ah Lang thinks it tastes good, he can also send a few jars to the king......"

He has always talked a lot, and one person can withstand many people, and Wang Zixian doesn't care. The master and servant then sat down in the small wine shop, asked for good wine and food, and drank slowly.

After a short time, Qingsuo hurriedly rode his horse and whispered to him: "Ah Lang, there is movement in the courtyard that the king ordered to keep an eye on last night. Xun Guogong suddenly came back from the palace alone, and then there was a lot of noise inside, which lasted for a long time and did not stop. Our people can't act rashly, so we can only wait outside all the time......"

Wang Zixian tightened his eyebrows, the vague loss in his heart instantly dissipated, and he was calm as usual: "You continue to star, if it is dark and the king has not come, I will go and see it myself." Cao Shilang, you go to King Pu's Mansion to borrow a hundred parts and rush over quietly, don't attract the attention of others. "They had fought side by side with the tribes of the Pu Wang's Mansion and won their trust, and Li Hui had ordered his cronies to be at his disposal, and those tribes who had been specially guarded by him should be fine.

If it were usual, at this hour, the abolished crown princess Su would have returned from illness a long time ago, and Li Hui's family would not usually stay in the palace for evening food. Right now, since the first line of King Pu and the first line of the abolished prince have stayed in the palace, isn't there something important in the palace? In any case, he should also go to the other courtyard to investigate, and if he can't say it, he will be able to learn the truth from Li Ju, the Duke of Xunguo.

So, when Li Hui and Li Jing hurried to the outside of the courtyard, the three princes and servants had already mixed into the Pu Wangfu and were quietly waiting. Li Hui glanced at it and felt that the two or three hundred tribes in front of him should be enough, so he gave up the idea of going to the Qin Mansion of the Duke of Wu to borrow the tribes of Princess Qinghe.

Li Jing was anxious and couldn't wait to say, "Cousin Hui, I'll go and have a look first!" Then he ordered a knock at the door of the other courtyard at once. The servants guarding the door heard that it was the king of Xin'an County and the king of Tianshui County who came to visit Li Song and Li Ju on the order of the Su family, and hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Li Jing was already waiting a little impatiently, pushed away the servants who stood in front of him, ignored their calls, and rushed inside. Li Hui shook his head and sent more than twenty subordinates to follow him to protect his safety. Then, he ordered the rest of the tribe to enclose the three layers of this courtyard and the outer three floors, and no one was allowed to enter or leave: "If anyone breaks in, take them down first!" Those who dare to take out their weapons to resist will be shot on the spot!! ”

"Yes!" All the tribes agreed in unison, and immediately dispersed in an orderly manner with their respective teams.

Then, Li Huicai led dozens of close subordinates into the courtyard, and Wang Zixian followed closely behind him. Because he knew a little about the courtyard, when he rushed to the palace surrounded by ancient trees, Li Jing had not yet arrived. And what fell into their eyes was the scene of Li Ju leading a group of servants to confront dozens of burly men. The two sides pushed, pushed, and shouted, shouting and scolding like a busy city, but they always held each other.

Li Ju's hair was scattered, the corner of his head was torn, his cheeks were high and swollen, his five fingerprints were clearly visible, and there were bruises and bruises on his forehead, which made him look particularly wolfish. He is a dignified Duke of Xun Guo, and it is naturally impossible for the servant to do anything to him. It is self-evident who the person who hurt him is.

This cousin has always given people the impression that he is as gentle as jade, soft as water, and even sympathizes with the traitor Huan He, and is indeed a gentleman. However, at this moment, his eyes were full of determination and perseverance, like a jade stone that had been suddenly shattered, each with sharp edges and corners.

I saw that he suddenly stepped forward a few steps, came to the big man headed by the opposite side, and said coldly: "Xun Guogong is here, don't you get out of the way quickly!" ”

The big man was slightly stunned, and arched his hand and said, "We are ordered by Ah Lang to stay here and not allow anyone to enter." Please also ask Lang Jun to be considerate and go back to apply the medicine. ”

"I am Xun Guogong, although he is a father, he is just a mere man! How can a commoner be able to afford a private army?! Consider you my tribes and not his tribes, and listen to my commands!! Don't get out of the way of me! Li Ju had no intention of retreating, and his momentum was as sharp as a rainbow.

"Although Lang Jun is the Duke of Xun, Ah Lang is the father of the Duke of Guo! On filial piety, Lang Jun should also listen to Ah Lang!! ”

"So, you're not going to back down no matter what?"

"Someone only obeys Ah Lang's orders!"

Li Ju gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill me in!" Whoever can break in will be rewarded with ten gold!! ”

Attracted by the heavy reward, the servants who were still a little timid immediately plucked up their courage. Although they were faced with a tall and burly tribe, they quickly lost their fear, and their eyes were full of greed, and their hearts were full of ten gold bounties. There were so many of them that they just rushed inside, and they forced their subordinates to take a few steps back. These parts have all seen blood, and they are so angry that they want to draw their horizontal knives and threaten—

Just as he was pushing and pulling, someone suddenly screamed: "Murder!" Killed! ”

"Murder! It's all blood! It's all blood! ”

"What a ruthless heart!!"

The next moment, the minions either turned and ran in terror, or angrily snatched the weapons of the tribesmen, or almost frantically tore at them, and the scene was chaotic. And Li Ju didn't know who tripped and fell to the ground, and was trampled by the crowd who pushed him. If Cao Shilang hadn't hurriedly carried him away, I'm afraid he would have been seriously injured in an instant!

Li Hui narrowed his eyes and identified a few servants who were obviously fanning the flames: "Kill, leave a living mouth." ”

The prince bowed his head slightly, as if he had confirmed his target in an instant, and without hesitation raised his arrow and fired. The arrows disappeared into the night like black shadows, and the few people who were scurrying around immediately fell to the ground silently, bleeding all over the ground.
