However, it was said that after Li Xian entered the palace, he went all the way through, went straight to the outside of the Zhenguan Palace, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt down in front of the palace, and said loudly: "Erchen Xian came to the palace to see the driver on the order of the emperor, and asked his father to allow his son's ministers to see the driver, visit his father's illness, and fulfill his filial piety under his father's knees." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

But I saw hundreds of soldiers and horses gathered outside the hall, and the first one was the right prison guard Zhonglang General Wu Youji, but I saw that the hundreds of troops under Wu Youji were all bows and arrows, murderous, if Li Xian dared to break through, I believe they would not hesitate to release arrows.

Seeing this scene, Li Xian couldn't help frowning and shouted, "Wu Youji, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to do it to me? ”

I saw Wu Youji said lightly: "I am ordered by the Queen of Heaven to guard the Zhenguan Palace, no matter who waits, anyone who enters this hall must get the consent of the Queen of Heaven, otherwise they will be killed." ”

Li Xian couldn't help but hesitate for a while when he heard this, in fact, he was now completely sure that he would capture Wu Youji in an instant, so as to successfully break into the Zhenguan Palace, but he didn't know Gaozong's current situation at all, in case Gaozong was frightened because of his hard break, then he would really be guilty of a hundred sins, don't say that it was someone else, even he himself would not forgive himself.

However, if he kept waiting here like this, he would probably miss the opportunity, because Empress Wu and Pei Yan could calmly deploy everything inside.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a person behind me shouting: "The courtier Princess Taiping Lingyue begged to see her father, and asked the queen mother for permission." ”

"Taiping, you're here. How's my father doing? Seeing the arrival of the little sister, Li Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly greeted him, and asked in a low voice.

"Seventh brother, the little sister doesn't know what happened to the father, but I heard that the father suddenly fell ill, and the condition is very urgent, but it has been two days now, except for the imperial doctor, no one has come in and out at all, even the imperial doctors, they can only enter and not go out, the little sister and the eighth brother are very anxious, several times sent people to investigate the situation, but they were all blocked back, the eighth brother was afraid that he would not be good for the seventh brother when he went to the palace, so he didn't come over, let the little sister go to the palace to see the father, although it is likely that nothing can be done, but can wait for the father for a few days, This is also a filial piety. ”

Princess Taiping's face was stained with tears, because Gaozong loved his little daughter incomparably, it was like a pearl in the palm of her hand, and Princess Taiping's relationship with Gaozong and Empress Wu was the most intimate among Gaozong's children. It's just that the tears are crying for several liters, but the Empress Wu stopped Princess Taiping from the palace for two days on the grounds that Gaozong was seriously ill and couldn't be disturbed.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the gate of Zhenguan Hall slowly open, and then I saw Cheng Lishi, the inner attendant, said sadly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, Princess Taiping, and King Yu are ......."

When Li Xian saw Cheng Lishi's expression, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly exchanged glances with Cheng Lishi, only to see Cheng Lishi shaking his head with tears on his face, and then knelt down at the door.

Li Xian suddenly burst into tears, because by this time he had already determined that Gaozong had already died.

"What the hell is going on? Wasn't the first few days of my father's reign okay? Li Xian took advantage of Cheng Lishi's kung fu and asked in a low voice.

But seeing Cheng Lishi said bitterly: "When Your Majesty was ill, the slave was not around, it was the Queen of Heaven who served Your Majesty and ate a few cakes, and the slave did not see Your Majesty until last night, but at this time Your Majesty has already ......."

Speaking of this, Cheng Lishi couldn't say any more, and tears came again.

When Li Xian heard this, there was a sudden bang in his head, and the whole person seemed to have withdrawn all his strength, standing there a little shaky, and almost fell to the ground.

"Seventh brother, are you okay?" Seeing this, Li Dan, who came later, hurriedly supported Li Xian and asked with a concerned face.

"It's nothing, thank you Eighth Brother." Li Xian gently patted Li Dan's shoulder, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said to Li Dan.

In fact, after listening to Cheng Lishi's words, a thought suddenly flashed in Li Xian's mind, although he felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous, but combined with what the Empress Wu had done over the years, he felt that this possibility was still there, and this thought was that his father was probably killed by the Empress Wu!

Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a violent shock all over his body, and thought silently: "Could it be that my queen mother really didn't even care about her husband who had lived together for thirty years for the sake of this little power in her hands?" How could he get that hand? Hmph, if she really does this, no matter how big the price is, I must clear my father's grievances! ”

Li Xian clenched his fists and silently walked into the Zhenguan Palace, but when he arrived there, he saw that his father had already passed away.

I saw that Gaozong's face was very calm, lying there quietly, looking very peaceful.

"Father......" Li Xian saw Gaozong's corpse, and couldn't help but feel sad, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.

At the same time, Empress Wu, Pei Yan, Princess Taiping, Li Dan and others also all let out a cry of grief, and the entire Zhenguan Hall was gloomy and gloomy, and the mourning continued.

However, although Li Xian was sad in his heart, he did not let himself fall into senseless mourning, but took the opportunity to get close to Gaozong's corpse, and then carefully observed, only to find that Gaozong's corpse was a little strange, although the expression on his face was serene, but it seemed to have been artificially concealed, and there was a faint blood stain in the seven orifices, although the lights were dim at the moment, but how strong was Li Xian's eyesight? But it can be seen clearly,

In addition, there are faint tear stains in the corners of Gaozong's eyes, which shows that Gaozong should have been in pain like a river in his heart before he died?

Li Xian himself deduced that Gaozong had been in a good mood in the past few days, even if he died of a sudden illness, he didn't have too many regrets in his heart, and he didn't have tears on his face, it must be because he found out that Empress Wu had poisoned him, and his heart was greatly hurt, so he cried bitterly.

"Hmph, the people who participated in the disposal of my father's corpse must be these imperial doctors, I must find out the real evidence from them. Also, I will investigate the people who participated in making and delivering cakes, and this time I will do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of the matter! Li Xian looked at Gaozong's corpse with stunned eyes, and secretly resolved in his heart that no matter who it was, he would definitely not let them go.

However, at this moment, I heard Pei Yan choking up and saying: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now is not the time to be sad, we should first announce the news of His Majesty's death, and then, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Taiping, King Yu and the ministers to gather and respectfully ask Your Majesty to leave an edict!"
