Zichen Palace.

At this moment, the hall is brightly lit, the original magnificent hall seems a little empty, the throne in the middle is empty, and on a slightly smaller throne next to it, the Empress Wu is dressed in cyan woven gold sleeves, with five phoenixes and gold hairpins on her head, dressed neatly, not like she is in the harem at all.

"Erchen has seen the queen mother!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Hong's eyes, and he arched his hand and said respectfully.

"The prince came late at night, what happened?"

Empress Wu's voice was unexpectedly cold, and there was no warmth in her gaze when she looked at Li Hong.

It's just that Li Hong's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little confused in his heart, just now the Empress Wu clearly summoned Yu Chi Baolin first, so what does it mean to ask him now?

"After returning to his mother, his son got the news in the East Palace, saying that someone was trying to take advantage of his father's dragon health and take the opportunity to rebel, in order to prevent him from hurting his father and mother, he came to report!"

After a pause, Li Hong's expression was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice.

No matter what the martial queen's considerations are, he will not continue to forgive Li Xian tonight, he dares to commit such a big crime, he has already failed the opportunity he gave him, since he chooses to do it, then he should know the consequences of failure!

"That'...... According to the prince's opinion, what should be done with those who conspire against him! ”

Li Hong could clearly see that the expression of the martial queen was awe-inspiring, a trace of evil aura appeared between her eyebrows, and her voice trembled slightly.

Seeing this scene, Li Hong's heart suddenly understood.

It seems that Empress Wu is still reluctant to give up this son, so Fang has repeatedly tested his attitude......

But since he has made up his mind this time, even if Li Zhi comes in person, don't want him to change his attitude!

"According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, rebellion is a crime of great rebellion, and there is no forgiveness for the main offender! Relatives are reduced to commoners, and they will never be allowed to return to Beijing! ”

Li Hong's voice was cold, and there was a trace of awe-inspiring in his eyes, he raised his head and looked directly into Empress Wu's eyes, and said in a deep voice.

With a "snap", a porcelain cup beside Empress Wu fell to the ground, the sound was crisp, and it was particularly harsh in this empty hall, but the two people in the hall didn't care.

He ...... But your own brother! ”

Empress Wu's voice trembled slightly, her beautiful face became a little painful, and her eyes looking at Li Hong were also full of expectation, and even faintly with a hint of pleading.

"Queen Mother's ......"

Li Hong spoke softly, and his voice was also quite uncalm, but there was a coldness in his expression.

"Erchen is also his biological brother of the same father and mother!"

The voice of this sentence was very soft, so light that there was not a trace of movement in this hall, so light that if you didn't listen carefully, you might even ignore it.

Ask yourself, Li Hong gave Li Xian too many opportunities, even tonight, as long as Li Xian can stop in time and does not do this great rebellion, Li Hong will not kill him, at least he can ensure that he is rich and prosperous for the rest of his life!

It's a pity that he has to kill himself, and who can stop him!

Empress Wu's eyes were slightly stunned, her body became stiff, and she sat on the throne and was silent for a long time.

The candle flame "snapped" and the candle flowers flickered, and the hall fell into a strange silence.

"Even relatives are not forgivable? Princess Yong...... She's still pregnant with a baby! ”

After a moment, Empress Wu spoke, but her voice was not as graceful as ever, with a hint of supplication.

However, Li Hong's attitude did not soften in the slightest.

"Queen Mother, if your sons are defeated tonight, Wanying and your soon-to-be-born imperial grandson will also be gone! It is a mercy to be reduced to the common people, at least ...... They can live their lives in peace! ”

As he said, the battle for the heir is life and death!

If he hadn't left a secret hand in advance tonight, I'm afraid he would have died tragically in Donghua Gate by now, and when the time comes, he will only die even worse in the East Palace!

He didn't expect any kindness from this younger brother......

However, Li Hong also knows that even if he has committed such a big crime, it may still be difficult to accept to kill his own children, after all, the current Empress Wu is not the empress who is blinded by power, nor is she a mother who is disappointed in all her sons.

Therefore, after finishing speaking, Li Hong arched his hand and said indifferently.

"Son's resignation!"

"You must not publicize this!"

Just when Li Hong had just taken two steps back and was about to turn around, the cold voice of the Empress Wu sounded again.

"Hehe......"

A bitter smile floated on the corner of Li Hong's mouth, can't it be publicized?

For the sake of the so-called royal majesty, or do you still want to protect him until now, just like protecting Helan Minzhi back then?

There was such a big incident tonight, is it just over?

"The queen mother can rest assured, there was no ambush and killing of the prince in Donghuamen tonight, it was just a fight between the two teams after getting drunk! The majesty of the royal family will not be damaged in the slightest, but the crime of rebellion cannot be indulged lightly, the main offender is not pardoned, and the exile of relatives is the law of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Hong's voice was calm, not bringing out the slightest anger in his heart, but such a cold tone made Empress Wu frown.

After saying this, Li Hong bowed and saluted, turned around and left the Zichen Palace.

Leaving Empress Wu alone in a daze.

Until I don't know when, Empress Wu felt someone beside her gently hold her cold hand, and when she turned her head, Li Zhi sat beside her with a wry smile on his face, his eyes full of concern.

"Your Majesty......"

Empress Wu gently leaned her head on Li Zhi's body, her voice was slightly choked, and she didn't know if it was because of Li Xian's rebellious behavior, or because of Li Hong's cold words before leaving.

"Don't worry, after tomorrow, Hong'er will understand everything!"

A comforting smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, hugged Empress Wu's slightly cold body, and said softly.

It's just that his expression can't help but be a little ugly, what he didn't expect was that Li Hong's prejudice against the martial queen in his heart was so deep......

"Your Majesty, Mother!"

Wu Liangfu hurriedly walked in, and happened to see this scene, but he was slightly stunned, and then lowered his head and said with some hesitation.

"King Yong has already brought, is it ......?"

"Hold that rebel in prison, I ...... Don't want to see him! ”

Li Zhi's expression was a little tired, and his voice was also full of fatigue, so he waved his hand lightly and spoke.

…………

Li Hong didn't know what was happening in the Zichen Palace, it was pitch black behind him at the moment, and the lights in front of him were bright.

Miyagi in the rear, and Higashigu in front!

The lights in front of the door of the East Palace are still on, just like every time he returns late, he has never extinguished a candle, the only difference is that in front of the door of the East Palace today, Pei Shi is dressed in a cyan dress, and looks in the direction of the palace city with the support of the maid, with a little anxiety on his pretty face.

Glancing behind him, Li Hong shook his head lightly and turned around, but a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......
