Chapter 67: Assassination I

"But...... It is said that General Li went to Wanjia a few days ago......"

"Wanjia?" Shen Wuyan's heart jumped, and he was surprised: "You said that General Li has dealings with Wanjia......

After saying this, Shen Wuyan immediately thought of the scene when he saw Master Wan Jia a month ago, and said in a loud voice: "Yes...... At that time, Master Wan had a servant...... It seems to be North Koreans. ”

Shao Fang didn't know about this, but seeing that Shen Wuyan's face was pale, he also knew that the matter was urgent, and asked repeatedly, "Could it be that there is something wrong?" ”

Shen Wuyan looked at Shao Fang blankly, and muttered softly, "Li He has also been to Wanjia once before...... A few days ago, he also asked to see His Majesty, wanting to ask for a few more acres of land...... What kind of land do you want in the capital...... How discreet he is alone......"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Wuyan immediately rushed out of the teahouse, and then sat on the carriage that had been waiting for a long time on the side of the road, and said loudly: "Qianqing Palace......"

……

Qianqing Palace.

It was already early, and the setting sun sprinkled on the stone steps, sprinkling a touch of gold. It's just that this golden color looks a little weird at this time, at least it's not so comfortable compared to the past.

But for Li He, it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I haven't been to this road for many years, this road to the residence of the Ming Emperor. Follow this road all the way to the depths, and you can see the king of a country, the man whose wife wants to kill day and night.

The plan failed repeatedly for many years, and initially tried to make their brothers kill each other, but failed. Later, he raised an undercover agent, and he thought that the undercover agent would be rebellious over time.

So he wanted to use the help of others, but unfortunately General Li failed again.

Li He didn't want to wait any longer, he didn't have a deep grudge against that emperor. It's just because of this emperor that he has never lived a day of stability, and he has never had a normal home.

Since she became a colt in high school, Princess Ning'an has become more and more terrible day by day, and finally Li He learned the secret of the other party, and he decided to help him with this, which can be regarded as a normal home for himself.

It's just that he always fails, so today he doesn't want to wait any longer.

"It's been decades......" Li He stood on the stone steps, forgot to glance at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and sighed: "You can't let Madame do everything...... I should have done something for her......"

muttered like this, but couldn't help but think of his wife who was under the drugged and asleep on the bed at this time.

Looking at the remnant sun in the sky, Li He laughed miserably, and then continued to walk towards the palace gate.

"I've seen a colt ......"

Li He still nodded gently, if he treated anyone like that in the past, he would have that smile, even if the other party was just a palace gate guard.

"Come to see Your Majesty today...... I haven't been here in years......"

The guard nodded, and early in the morning he had learned that the colt was coming over today, so he didn't have any doubts, but he was still curious: "Why didn't you see the princess coming?" ”

Almost everyone in the palace knew that the first emperor loved Princess Ning'an the most, so he allowed him to stay in the capital, and he was the only princess who could stay in the capital.

Li He just smiled faintly and said softly, "The princess has not been very comfortable these days...... Today, I will cultivate in the house, and I will not come...... Knowing that His Majesty's dragon health is not safe, he summoned me to come and take care of ......"

Listening to Li He's humorous answer, the guard also smiled, hurriedly hugged his fist at Li He, and said, "Then the colt is please...... Don't make Your Majesty wait......"

Li He was not afraid that the emperor would be in a hurry, because he was more anxious than anyone else at this time. But he still looked slow, as if time could not move him.

The Qianqing Palace has also changed slightly in recent years, but in general it is still the same pattern as it was back then. After passing through the cloister and walking through a few small courtyards, Li He saw the main hall where the emperor lived.

After being informed by the little eunuch, Li He respectfully walked into the hall.

The hall was very quiet, except for a few little eunuchs to serve, only Li Guifei and the emperor were left.

Seeing Li He walk into the hall, Zhu Zaiyuan hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Li He...... I haven't seen you in a while...... Last time, it was Duanyang...... But this Qianqing Palace, you haven't been here for many years. ”

Li He saluted very respectfully, then smiled, and said, "It's true that I haven't come to the Qianqing Palace for some years......

After a little hesitation, Li He hugged his fist towards Li Guifei on the side and said, "I've seen Li Guifei......"

Concubine Li just waved her hand, with a smile on her face, and said, "A few days ago, Jun'er also said that she went to the Horse Mansion...... Ning An took it and picked fruits and caught fish......"

Li He nodded and replied, "The princess is really rare...... If it weren't for the physical pretense today, I would have come over. ”

Zhu Zaiyuan's face changed slightly, and he was surprised: "Princess, why is he sick...... Has the Imperial Doctor seen it? ”

In the palace, the imperial physician only treats the emperor, unless there is a person who is particularly favored by the emperor, he can be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor.

It's just that Li He was unmoved, a faint smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "The princess is just a little feint, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it...... It's just that I heard that Your Majesty has been unwell in recent days? ”

Zhu Zaiyuan let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "It's really uncomfortable...... It's better these days, though......"

Li He nodded with satisfaction, then changed his words slightly, and said, "There is something...... I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers...... It's been a few years......"

"What?" Zhu Zaiyuan's face was also calm.

Li He smiled slightly, but took a few steps forward, and then said in a deep voice: "Jiajing twenty-one years...... The palace maid Yang Jinying and several other palace maids assassinated the first emperor...... Does Your Majesty remember? ”

In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Zhu Zaiyuan was only five years old, although he was already sensible. But not much is known about the cause and effect of this incident.

After a while, Zhu Zaiyuan muttered, "The horse suddenly mentioned this...... I don't know what the intentions are? ”

Li He smiled lightly and said softly: "Your mother was ...... at that time took the opportunity to kill another concubine...... Yes, it was Ling Chi's execution...... That concubine is Ning An's mother......"

"It's ...... like this" Zhu Zaiyuan was shocked, but when he saw Li He's eyes red, he hurriedly said: "It's all more than 20 years ago...... Why do you still remember ......?"

Saying this, Zhu Zaiyuan probably already sensed something, and he could squeeze Li Guifei's hand a little harder.

Concubine Li Guifei swept Li He with her eyes, laughed hurriedly, and said, "I heard that the horse was also born as a jinshi in the early years...... I don't know if it was the Jinshi of that year......"

Li He hesitated for a moment, but still replied to Li Guifei and said, "Jiajing thirty-five years ......"

Li Guifei still had a smile on her face, and her voice was still peaceful: "Thirty-five years of Jiajing...... In this way, you and Ning An ...... It's been a few years. ”
