Chapter 294: Wave after Wave
Lu Li originally thought that he had controlled the situation, so he was not defensive against the people in the court, especially on the side of King Li, in addition to Li Wenfeng when he attacked the palace, King Li also helped him a lot, so Lu Li always thought that he was on his side until King Li stood in front of him.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"
Hearing that An Xiabai never came out after going to King Li's mansion, Lu Li was so anxious that he came to the door directly.
"What this king means, can't you guess General Lu?" King Li raised his eyebrows, his expression was calm, as if house arrest An Xiabai and Ruqing and others were not a matter of importance, but an inconsequential matter, so he was very calm when facing Lu Li's questioning, "General Lu killed Wang Zhen, thinking that he was Huang Que behind, but he didn't know that Huang Que was someone else. ”
Lu Li's heartbeat missed a beat, and his brows were deeply locked.
He knew that there would definitely be variables after controlling the situation in the court, but he didn't expect that the variables would be on King Li's side, it seems that King Li's deliberate inaction before, not because he didn't know, nor because of poor health, he was recuperating, and after he controlled the situation, he would come and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it was really a good calculation!
There was a little more hatred in Lu Li's eyes.
King Li sighed and said: "General Lu, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you have military power in your hands, you are the one who can really control the situation in the capital now, where is there room for this king to set off storms?" If you want to blame, blame your own soldiers for being at the border, and can't come over to help you suppress these ministers in the capital. Oh yes, this king actually forgot, there is still a Li Wenfeng on your side, but what about General Li? He has resigned, and I am afraid that he will not be able to say a few words in the imperial court. ”
"Your Highness, are you so sure?"
"Not bad." Today's various things have been calculated by King Li a long time ago, and now they are just implementing plans.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lu Li: "I've known General Lu for so long, and I haven't really understood General Lu, so I only believe half of my own words." Maybe General Lu has other forces besides Li Wenfeng, but I advise you not to use it, don't forget, your wife is now in the hands of this king, and if you don't like it a little, maybe you won't see her again. ”
As soon as King Li's words came out, Lu Li secretly crushed his silver teeth.
He successfully pinched the point that Lu Li had the most scruples.
Power or glory, he can give it up, but An Xiabai can't have an accident.
Thinking of the life and death of the crown prince and Mo Simin, Lu Li's heart ached, he really didn't want his wife to be hurt, even if it was just a little hurt.
So Lu Li wrinkled his brows and promised: "I won't act rashly." ”
After receiving the answer, King Li nodded in satisfaction.
He knew Lu Li's character very well, and no matter what he was, it was far less important than An Xiabai's safety, including the throne, so King Li was very relieved of him. Now the more important thing than Lu Li is the life and death of the emperor, so King Li did not continue to listen in the palace, and after telling the guards in the palace to be optimistic about Lu Li, he took the carriage to the palace.
The crown prince is dead, Feng Bailin is missing, and now under the circumstances, if the emperor is also dead, then it will be logical for him to succeed to the throne!
Thinking of this, King Li only felt that the blood in his body seemed to be boiled, and it was all boiling.
Because King Li also had his own power in the guards, he easily entered the palace and went all the way to the palace where the emperor lived.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he realized that something was wrong.
The emperor's palace is majestic and magnificent, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the imperial palace, even if the emperor is not powerful now, this palace should be brightly lit, why is it now dimly lit, at first glance it seems as if no one lives in it at all?
Could it be that Lu Li suddenly opened his mind and killed the emperor?
But no matter how you think about it, it's not logical, Lu Li is not a royal bloodline, after killing the emperor, in order to justify his name, he will definitely need to find a successor in the clan, which is far more troublesome than leaving the emperor, so Lu Li will definitely not kill the emperor easily. How can we explain the current situation?
King Li hurriedly walked into the palace with doubts, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw many palace people lying on the ground.
All of those palace people were pale, and at a glance, they knew that they were no longer angry.
King Li's brows tightened more and more.
When he entered the emperor's bedroom, he saw the emperor lying on the ground, his face was also blue and lifeless, his body was already cold, and it seemed that he had been dead for a while.
King Li solemnly instructed his subordinates: "You go and find out the cause of their deaths-"
"There's no need to investigate, the cause of their death is poisoning." Before the king could finish speaking, someone said the reason for the dead silence in the hall, and as he spoke, he came out of the dark corner. At that time, the room was obviously dark, but her eyes seemed to be shining, and she looked like she was crazy as she wished, which made King Li feel secretly frightened.
"Queen...... Is it you who poisoned it? ”
The queen gathered her sideburns and shredded hair, and said lightly, with an indifferent expression, as if the corpses on the ground were not corpses at all, but a few inconsequential kittens and dogs.
The benevolent and virtuous person who is usually devoted to the Buddha suddenly became like this, and King Li looked a little flustered, so he subconsciously took two steps back before he dared to speak.
"Why are you so ruthless?"
The queen raised her eyebrows, her gaze swept over the swords in their hands, and her face was puzzled: "You still care about this? ”
Judging from King Li and the people he brought, the queen could guess their purpose at a glance, it was nothing more than to force the palace to make the emperor abdicate, and now that the emperor is dead, isn't it a good thing for them?
The queen said she couldn't understand.
"Could it be that you brought troops into the palace because you wanted to save the car?"
King Li gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart that if it wasn't for the emperor's secret, he wouldn't want to come here at all, and it would be a good thing for him that the emperor died!
Just when the palace was tangled here, in the mansion of King Li, Lu Li was in a daze at the dishes in front of him.
King Li is a extravagant person, almost all the dishes in the house are full of five flavors, and they know that they taste good at a glance, and these drinks and dishes in front of ordinary people may make their appetite move, but in front of Lu Li, Lu Li can't eat it. The corners of his lips curled into a sneer, and his expression was also cold: "This is my last meal?" ”
The person in charge of the cloth was the old butler in the Liwang Mansion, and when he heard this question, he shook his head with a smile.
"General Lu is really joking, this wine and food is just ordinary wine and food, His Royal Highness King Li learned that General Lu came in a hurry and didn't even eat dinner, so he specially ordered the kitchen to prepare it."
"Oh? In this case, I still have to thank King Li? ”
The old butler smiled but said nothing.
Just as he was about to leave the room, a man dressed as a small servant hurriedly ran outside the door.
"Steward Zhou, it's not good, there's an accident outside!"
The old housekeeper subconsciously glanced at Lu Li, he wanted to let the little guy be quieter and say something out, but what he never expected was that at the moment when he turned his head, Lu Li suddenly made a move on him.
Pity him for an old bone, and he doesn't know martial arts, he was stupid by such a play, and he was controlled by Lu Li without even dodging.
"General Lu, General Lu spare his life!"
Lu Li didn't even bother to look at him more, and his eyes turned directly to the little guy who came to report the news: "What's going on outside?" ”
The little guy was also stupid by such a show: "Someone led troops to surround the palace......"
This is the time that Lu Li was waiting for.
Xu is because King Li left the palace, or because King Li is sure that An Xiabai is in his hands, so Lu Li does not dare to act rashly, in short, there are only two guards responsible for guarding Lu Li, and there is no fear at all, so Lu Li is not afraid at all, as soon as he heard that there are people surrounding Liwang's Mansion outside, he knew that his plan had succeeded, and after restraining the old housekeeper and stuning the little guy, he asked him to take himself to see An Xiabai and others.
The old housekeeper who spared his life did as he said, and after a while, he took Lu Li to the courtyard where An Xiabai and the others were held.
There were originally people guarding the door, but as soon as those guards heard that someone was surrounding the palace, they were about to attack and enter, and they all lost their minds, and after a while, they ran away, so Lu Li easily saw An Xiabai and others.
After each of them untied them, An Xiabai suddenly threw himself into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, madam, it's okay now."
Listening to Lu Li's words and feeling his body temperature, An Xiabai's heart finally settled down a lot.
"Husband, why are you here, where has King Li gone? And what's going on with the so-called siege of the palace outside? ”
"I heard today that after King Li imprisoned you, I communicated with Fang Chun and them in advance, and when King Li entered the palace to find the emperor, I asked them to surround the palace, and now that the plan has been successful, Fang Chun and they should be able to come in later." Madam, now is not a good time to speak, let's leave the palace and go home first, and then discuss countermeasures. ”
It was estimated that King Li should be in the palace at this time, and he couldn't get out of it to deal with them, so he took people home first.
After arriving at the place, they unexpectedly found that Li Wenfeng was also in the house.
Seeing that several young people had returned safely, his heart completely fell: "As soon as I heard that Xia Bai had an accident, I rushed here, thinking that I might be able to help, and now it seems that I should be right." ”
Li Wenfeng came at the right time!
On the way back to Lu's house from King Li's Mansion, they have been discussing the matter behind them, and now they have come up with a countermeasure, that is, they will run away separately, Shen Ya and Ruqing will return to the small county town, that is, the place where she was born and raised, after all, she has her own forces and ways over there, even if there are officers and soldiers to arrest them, I am afraid it will not be easy to arrest, so Lu Li asked them to go back and hide for a while first.
Zhou also has two children, who left the capital with Li Wenfeng.
"Father," An Xiabai took Li Wenfeng's hand and said with a frown, "Xiaodong Xiaoxue is still young, and Aunt Zhou and Liu Er are not in good health, so we can't take them to the border together, so we can only leave it to you." ”
Li Wenfeng expressed his understanding of her entrustment: "Don't worry, with me, they will be safe and sound." ”
