Hearing that the female emperor wanted to take Li Ke, Li Sanlang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been clarified, how can you take people so rashly?" ”

Wu Sansi sneered and said, "Speaking of taking people rashly? I'm afraid it's even more rash for you Li Sanlang to lead the troops to break into the Liang Palace's mansion at night, right? Come! Take down the Leeks! ”

With Wu Sansi's order, dozens of sword-wielding forbidden soldiers suddenly poured into the Immortal Palace, wanting to capture Li Ke. Li Ke was about to have a seizure, but in the end reason prevailed over impulse, he knew that if he resisted at this time, he would undoubtedly be disobedient, and it would really come to the point of no return, not only him, but also his wife and children, Li Sanlang, Chen Xuanli, and even the crown prince would be innocently harmed. Tonight's accident must have been set a trap in advance, but at this time he didn't know what the problem was for a while, so he had to save his life first, and then find a way to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

So he said: "Your Majesty, Li Ke was framed tonight, and Li Ke has nothing to say, but this matter is all caused by Li Ke alone, and it has nothing to do with others. ”

Princess Taiping preemptively said: "Whether it is related to others, it is not your turn to say, Your Majesty will find out." Come! Take it for Hongu! ”

Hearing Princess Taiping's order again, the forbidden army rushed up and captured Li Ke, but Li Ke did not make any resistance, but said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, Li should be arrested, but can you tell Li about the origin of Princess Azina?" lest Li die unclear. Li Ke knew that there was no point in resisting at this time, but at least he had to know the ins and outs of the matter, so he could prepare to overturn the case, so he asked.

Without waiting for the female emperor to speak, Princess Taiping took the lead and said: "Okay! On behalf of Your Majesty, this palace will expose the crimes of your culprit. A few days ago, you kidnapped Princess Azina and two handmaidens, imprisoned them privately, and tried to do misdeeds, but fortunately, Princess Azina was smart and pretended to crash into the wall and died, so she escaped by luck. I have an old acquaintance with the princess, and she sought out me to expose your schemes. Tonight, I was about to enter the palace to tell Your Majesty about this matter, but who knew that you and the others planned to blame Lord Wujiang for this matter, and also led troops to surround the Liang Palace. Your Majesty Shengming is aware of your tricks, and has long been waiting in the palace for you to throw yourself into the net. ”

After Li Ke heard Princess Taiping, he couldn't help laughing, he laughed at himself, he actually fell into such a trap, he really felt that he was underestimating the enemy and stupid; This is because he now knows how the trick is set up, but no matter how he justifies it at the moment, it is really difficult to excuse himself, and the opponent's trap is really painstakingly woven, so he said: "Your Majesty, Li has nothing to say now, please put me in prison." ”

The female emperor spoke: "You are a straightforward person! Imprisoned, tomorrow the three divisions will review the crime! ”

Li Ke turned around and whispered to Li Sanlang: "This matter is fraudulent, if you believe me, see me and discuss it again." After saying that, Li Ke was escorted down by the forbidden army.

Seeing that Li Ke was escorted down, Wu Sansi opened his mouth and said: "Tonight, Li Sanlang led his troops to break into my Liang Wang's mansion, and accused the important ministers of the court for no reason, and asked His Majesty to be the master of this matter." If such a thing is not severely punished, the court will be corrupted in the future, and it will be difficult to convince the public! ”

When the female emperor heard Wu Sansi say this, she fell into contemplation again, and at this moment, a report came from outside the palace: "The prince asks for an audience!" ”

The female emperor whispered: "Xuan! ”

I saw the crown prince Li Xian enter the hall in a panic, and without saying a word, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the sons and daughters have no way to discipline them, so what happened tonight happened, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" The sons should bring this son back and discipline him seriously. As for the Liang Wangfu, the sons must come to the door to apologize! ”

The female emperor said: "The news of the crown prince is fast! As soon as I deliberated on this matter, the prince already knew the details! This was not my expectation! It seems that the prince by my side has installed a lot of his own people! ”

When the prince heard the words of the female emperor, he was immediately frightened, and quickly knocked his head to the ground, and said in a panic: "Erchen don't dare!" It's just that the minister happened to hear about it, and knew that San Lang was innocent, and he was bewitched by someone, and offended King Liang's mansion, so he came to accompany His Majesty and King Liang! ”

The female emperor laughed contemptuously and said, "Just heard? It's a coincidence! Li Sanlang was bewitched, who is the bewitched person? Leeke? As long as Li Sanlang admits tonight that the bewitcher is Li Ke and has nothing to do with him, I will simply blame that Li Ke for this matter and will not pursue him again. ”

Hearing what the empress said, the crown prince hurriedly whispered to Li Sanlang: "What are you waiting for? Tell Your Majesty about the demagogy! ”

At this time, Li Sanlang was very entangled in his heart. On the surface, today's everything, from the inference of the purpose of the Khitan dead, to finding Princess Azina's personal maid Duoyu, to letting him send troops to break into the Liang Palace's mansion to arrest Wujiang, is Li Ke guiding him step by step, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Ke has developed so far tonight, but is Li Ke really a person who has ill intentions, framed himself, or even harmed his father? And who instructed him to do so? Isn't he even behind bars now? Is Li Ke trustworthy? This series of questions occupied Li Sanlang's heart at this time, making him a little at a loss.

Seeing that Li Sanlang was deep in thought, the crown prince Li Xian had to urge on the side. Li Sanlang came back to his senses, I don't know why, he always believed in Li Ke in his heart, he was sure that Li Ke would not be able to unite with others to frame himself, but after thinking about it, he couldn't be rash at the moment, and only by keeping himself first could he have a chance to turn the tables.

Moreover, the prince ventured into the palace to protect himself at this moment, obviously the eyeliner placed next to the female emperor urgently reported the situation here, and the female emperor has now noticed the matter, in other words, this eyeliner is already in a very dangerous situation, it is not easy to put eyeliner next to the female emperor, the prince would rather sacrifice this person to protect himself, and he must not let others down, otherwise it will be even more than worth the loss.

After calculating the gains and losses in his heart, Li Sanlang finally said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought about it carefully just now, today's matter was indeed confused by that Li Ke, and the minister is willing to make amends to King Liang and Lord Wujiang!" ”

Wu Sansi snorted and said coldly: "Apologies? How to make amends? Just a few words in a few words, the matter is over? In the future, anyone can lead troops to break into my Liang Palace? Then where are I going to put my face as King Liang? ”

The prince hurriedly said: "King Liang, please calm your anger, my son is young and lacks discipline, and please raise your noble hand to King Liang!" Let him go, and he will be rewarded in the future! ”

The female emperor opened her mouth and asked, "According to King Liang's wishes, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Wu Sansi arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this matter is all caused by Li Sanlang's investigation of the case, so the minister thinks that in fact, he has no ability to investigate the case, and the Long'an Division should no longer be under its jurisdiction, and the Long'an Division should hand over the right to investigate and dispatch the case!" ”

When the female emperor heard this, she suddenly became angry, and immediately slapped the case, shouting: "In the end! King Liang is still for power. It was already stated in the early dynasty that this matter would be investigated by Zhang Cambodia on his behalf, and the people used would be deployed by him, and you would say this matter again! ”

The female emperor was furious, Wu Sansi also knew that he had lost his words, and he didn't dare to argue again, at this time Princess Taiping said slowly: "According to the opinion of the palace, King Liang still has to spare people and spare people, and calm people!" In the end, it's all the royal family's own business, and Princess Azina is also present today, don't fight too much, but let others see my joke. ”

The reason why today's matter can evolve to this point is that Wu Sansi also knows in his heart, he and Wu Jiang are now out of danger, and the person behind this is Taiping, and at this moment she spoke to stop it, it must be that the purpose of this action has been achieved, and if she continues to entangle, it may be bad. Besides, the female emperor is obviously still partial to the prince's side, if she doesn't back down, she will definitely offend the female emperor and the prince at the same time, and then it will be even more difficult for her to end up. Besides, tonight the prince can be regarded as begging for mercy with himself, and he has earned enough face, thinking of this, so he said: "Since Princess Taiping has also spoken, then the king will no longer care, and I hope that the prince will be good in the future, and Li Sanlang will do it himself." ”

When the prince heard this, he hurriedly thanked him. The female emperor continued to ask, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Li Sanlang immediately said: "This Li Ke's demonic words confuse the public, bewitch me and almost ruin a big thing, divide the family relationship within my royal family, and mislead the investigation and handling of the case. Please allow me to go to prison to see this person, and scold him to my face, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

Wu Sansi heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no!" It must be this Li Sanlang who wants to go to prison again and conspire with Li Ke's thieves in order to misbehave! ”

Li Sanlang said: "What does King Liang mean? I have just said in front of Your Majesty that it is Li Ke who bewitches me, and at this moment I just want to scold him in person, why do I conspire again? Could it be that King Liang still doesn't trust San Lang? ”

The female emperor said: "Since Li Sanlang has accused Li Ke, and this matter was indeed instigated by Li Ke, it is not impossible for Li Sanlang to scold him in person, at this time, according to my opinion, it is accurate!" King Liang don't worry about it anymore! The female emperor said so, and King Liang was not good for a while.

The female emperor continued: "If there is nothing else to do, you will retreat!" I'm going to rest. ”

They replied, "Oh! "All back.

Everyone withdrew from the Jixian Palace, and before they had gone far, a little eunuch walked up to Li Sanlang and whispered, "Your Majesty called you to the side hall to talk." Li Sanlang was a little puzzled, but when he saw that the little eunuch was Gao Lishi, who was a close confidant of the female emperor, he dispelled his worries and quietly came to the side hall with him.

Li Sanlang entered the side hall and looked around, there was no one else except the female emperor and Gao Lishi, he didn't know why the female emperor called him back, and he didn't speak for a while. The female emperor saw Li Sanlang, so she said: "San Lang, do you think I am old and confused? ”

Hearing the female emperor ask such a question, Li Sanlang was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied: "My emperor Shengming, how can you not know?" ”

The female emperor smiled lightly and said, "That's good! I can see what happened tonight, and there must be something strange in this, but because everyone is present, I can only deal with it like this. ”

When Li Sanlang heard this, his heart was suddenly excited, and he said in a trembling voice: "My emperor... My Emperor, Shengming! ”

The female emperor continued: "I know that Li Ke must have been framed by someone, otherwise it would be impossible for you to be at the mercy of your intelligence!" I want you to investigate this matter secretly, find out the original commission for me, and report it directly to me! Of course, this thing still has to be done for everyone to see, can you understand what I said? ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly replied: "The minister understands! ”

The female emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "You retreat!" Go see Li Ke and find out about this as soon as possible! ”

Li Sanlang said with some excitement: "Wow! My Emperor Shengming! The minister must do his best to investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

The female emperor waved her hand and stopped talking, and Li Sanlang got up and retreated.
