"But what?" Li Chu answered, "But you're afraid that he won't be willing to come out and testify for you?" The fourth prince must be joking, the people around me are old friends who have known me for many years, and even the girls have a very good relationship with me, how can anyone betray me? ”

The fourth prince was forced by him, and couldn't help but blurt out: "It's the housekeeper of the Rite Mansion, it's the secret letter he gave, and he also said that Song Chaozong and the people in his house are planning a big thing, although I don't know what it is, but it must be something that is not good for the imperial brother!" ”

"Are you talking about Uncle Chen? Impossible, when I was in Nanchu, Uncle Chen was the housekeeper of my family, and he won the trust of my father, and this time I also asked him to come out to help me, what reason did he have to betray me with such feelings? Is it hard or for the money? Lichu pouted with a snort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that Li Chu didn't believe it, the fourth prince immediately had the idea of teasing him, and sneered: "Hmph, you are smart and witty, but you can't even investigate the background of the people around you, don't you know, he is from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he has always been." ”

"Southern Tang people? Do all the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty have to have something to do with you? ”

The fourth prince laughed and said, "What if other people have anything to do with me?" He was the queen mother's guard before entering the palace, and he was loyal to the queen mother, and the queen mother must still remember this person. ”

Li Jingyao frowned and said in surprise: "What does this matter have to do with the queen mother?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the queen mother, the younger brother just wants to tell the imperial brother that Uncle Chen is loyal to the younger brother, and there is no reason to deceive the younger brother, it is the Song Dynasty that should be suspected!" The fourth prince has a thick neck, and he does not have half the nobility of the royal family at all, like a ruffian and hooligan.

Li Chu silently stepped aside, his eyes were all expressions, and he didn't respond anymore, Li Jingyao leaned back on the dragon chair, thought for a while, raised his eyes and said, "Then I will listen to what he said." ”

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, and he raised his eyes to look at Li Chu, and when he saw him, he threw a meaningful smile, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, not knowing what the hell Li Chu was doing.

When Uncle Chen entered the hall, he always bowed his head and saluted, not daring to look at Li Chu, and Li Chu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Chen, is it really you?" ”

"Young master, I feel ashamed in my heart, I have been by your side for so many years, but I ......" Uncle Chen said and raised his head, and quickly lowered his head.

The fourth prince didn't have the spirit to listen to the affectionate words of their master and servant, and said anxiously: "Uncle Chen, you hurry up and tell the royal brother the ins and outs of the matter, you must say it carefully and carefully, and you can't miss a little." ”

Uncle Chen raised his eyes and saw that Li Jingyao was not angry and arrogant, so he didn't feel a little scared, and said in a steady tone: "When the fourth prince learned that the grass people had come to the Western Capital, he told the grass people to supervise the young master at all times, and observe whether the young master had two hearts, and the previous map of the Rite Mansion ...... It was also stolen by the grass people. In the past few days, the grass people saw the strange whereabouts of the young master and a swordsman in the mansion, and they didn't know what they were planning, but fortunately, they overheard a few words through the door, saying that Liu Wenlu had been training soldiers in Xiaohuangling in recent days to prepare for the future attack on the Western Capital. ”

When the grass people heard the news, they were startled, and hurriedly sent a secret letter to the fourth prince, asking him to go to Xiaohuangling immediately to check, and the grass people did not expect that it would be such a result! After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Li Chu's face with his spare eyes, and was very surprised to see that he was expressionless.

"Song Chaozong, what else do you have to say?" The fourth prince said viciously, but what he got was a sneer from Li Chu, "Uncle Chen is old, and he can't hear it clearly through the door, I am obviously asking Nangong Fei, these days the soldiers of the Northern Sichuan Mansion have been practicing in Xiaohuangling, please ask him to go and give some advice, so that this group of soldiers can grow quickly and become excellent elite soldiers." ”

Li Xun jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, testify to your humble position, what General Sima said is true, Nangong Fei was indeed there when the minister went!" ”

"Then may I ask Leader Li, have you seen Liu Wenlu in the mouth of the fourth prince again?" Lichu asked.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xun shook his head categorically: "No, I dare to swear with my life, I really didn't see Liu Wenlu!" ”

"There is no trace of Liu Wenlu, nor the corpses of the soldiers and the army of the Northern Sichuan Mansion, so what the fourth prince said is simply untenable, and it is really ridiculous!" The words of Li Chu are loud and clear, and the light in his eyes is even more incomprehensible.

"I don't know what the fourth prince is doing all the trouble for, so he has to put me to death? I Lichu has never owed anything to the four princes, but the four princes have harmed me again and again, and now, I have put the words down, if there is a next time, I will do my best to resist! Repay the other in the other's way! ”

Li Jingyao was shocked by what he said, and when he saw that he was angry, he hurriedly spoke to reassure him: "Okay, Chaozong, I will definitely investigate this matter carefully, and I will never teach others to wronged you for half a point." ”

"Brother Huang! The younger brother really saw Liu Wenlu! The fourth prince took two steps on his knees and shouted, but Li Jingyao ignored him, looked at Uncle Chen and said, "Take it down and torture him, you must let him tell the truth!" ”

The fourth prince's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Jingyao in disbelief, and the sentence that he must let him tell the truth made the fourth prince almost despair, like a bucket of boiling hot water poured into the heart made of ice, and the whole army was annihilated......

At this time, the fourth prince simply lost his mind and hurriedly shouted: "Queen Mother! I want to see the Queen Mother! Only the queen mother can return my innocence! Brother Huang! I want to see the Queen Mother! ”

Li Jingyao stared at his out-of-control face, and said word by word: "Take the fourth prince to the prison cell of the Son of Heaven, if there is no result in this matter for one day, it will be locked up for one day, and if there is no result for one year, it will be locked up for one year!" ”

When the fourth prince's voice disappeared, Li Jingyao looked up at Li Chu and said suspiciously: "Chaozong, there is one thing I think is very strange. ”

"Your Majesty, please say ......"

"Why are you injured, but your face and breath are still so stable, not at all weak, you are completely relieved, I fully believe that your illness is cured, but what is going on with this internal strength? Can you make leaps and bounds in just a few days? ”

Li Jingyao's question, Li Xun also felt very confused, and wanted to know the answer to this question, so he looked over.

Li Chu took a deep breath, took out a jade bottle from his arms~ and explained: "This is a special tonic specially prepared by Dr. Xu for the minister, since the minister is a general of the Great Sima, he must not show the weakness of some literati to be underestimated, so he takes a lot of tonic every day to make himself not look weak." ”

"Sheng Zhe, take it and take a look, I want to try such a miraculous medicine......" Li Jingyao's eyes showed three points of surprise.

Li Chu shook his head suddenly, and said solemnly: "It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, this medicine is not good for the body in the first place, ordinary people will only gain more than they lose when they eat it, and besides, the emperor is in good spirits, why do you need to take this medicine?" ”
