In the middle of the night, Gaozong, with the support of Cheng Lishi, came to the East Palace tremblingly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the East Palace was busy, and many scribes were burning the Jisun, repairing the books day and night, because the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu" organized by Li Xian was nearing the end, and many people were checking and copying over and over again, and they were very busy.

However, at such a moment, a voice was suddenly heard: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" ”

After hearing this voice, everyone was stunned inexplicably, and then they all fell to the ground in hula, shouting to welcome the holy driver.

"You Aiqing quickly excuse me, the night is dark, you Aiqing is still busy repairing books, which shows that I am in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, haha, good, good!"

Seeing so many busy figures, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on Gaozong's face, clapped his hands and praised, and then said: "Spread my will, all officials who participate in the revision of the book will be rewarded with 100 brocade horses, and they will be honored. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing Gaozong's commendation, all the people were grateful, and bowed to the ground again to express their gratitude to Gaozong.

"Hehe, not only the father and the queen mother went to the palace late at night, what is the matter? In fact, the father and the emperor are not in good health, so if there is anything, they only need to send their husband Gao to the palace to announce a sentence, and the sons and daughters will go to the knees of the father and the queen mother, and be filial to their parents and loyal to the country. After Li Xian thanked Gaozong for everyone, he asked with a smile.

But seeing that Gaozong's face changed suddenly, he took out a secret letter from his arms, and said with a wry smile: "At night, the imperial historian Yuan Gongyu suddenly received a secret letter, in which someone reported that the emperor had rebelled, and pointed out that there were hundreds of soapnails buried in your back garden, I naturally didn't believe it, but in order to prove the innocence of the emperor, my father ordered someone to search in your back garden, if you can't find it, hehe, naturally you can't find it, but I want to prove your innocence to the world, Xian'er rest assured, After that, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. ”

Empress Wu then sighed softly: "Your father is right, Xian'er, this is obviously a false accusation, but in order to prove your innocence with evidence, it is said that your East Palace is the place of the prince, and it should not be searched, this is the dignity of the royal family, but in order to prove your innocence, the father and the queen mother had no choice but to do this, this time you were wronged, after this matter has passed, your father and I will definitely severely punish the slanderers, give Xian'er an explanation to you, and will compensate you well." ”

When Li Xian heard this, he couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart, he naturally knew that Empress Wu's intention to murder him had already been revealed, and although Gaozong was sincere to him, he was bewitched by Empress Wu, so he didn't need to consider this at all.

It's just that today is already facing such a situation, and there is also a royal historian Yuan Gongyu in front of Gaozong and Empress Wu with him, and it is impossible for him to refuse to search.

Therefore, Li Xian had no choice but to smile lightly: "What did the father and queen mother say?" Erchen knew that his father, queen and mother were also for the good of his son, how could Erchen refuse such a thing? Besides, the body is not afraid of the shadow, and the sons are upright, how can they be afraid of the evil people who will hurt people with secret arrows? Doctor Yuan, did you say? ”

"This ...... Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really right, everything is right and wrong, what you do is what you do, what you don't do is what you don't do, as long as you are upright, no one in this world can hurt you at all. Yuan Gongyu's old face smiled and called the bun, and there was no special meaning in these words.

However, Li Xian knew that behind this old thing was brewing a shocking conspiracy.

After that, he personally led Gaozong and Empress Wu and others to the back garden, and those officials who repaired books for Li Xian were also very angry, and at the same time they all knew that all this must be due to the conspiracy of Empress Wu, so they all went to watch together, and the purpose was naturally to testify for Li Xian.

Of course, there are also some party members arranged by Empress Wu in the East Palace, such as Fan Lubing, Liu Jingxian, Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing, Xue Yuanchao and others.

So this group of people came to the back garden, hundreds of people held torches, illuminating the huge back garden as bright as day, and there were many palace guards holding iron picks and other tools, digging something in the back garden.

Empress Wu and her henchmen all looked solemn, especially Empress Wu, knowing that this matter was related to the overall situation, so although she had made careful arrangements for all this, she was also a little apprehensive in her heart, for fear that if something went wrong, her plan would not be successful.

And Li Xian was indifferent, silently watching all this, and occasionally sneered in his heart.

After more than half an hour, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, and Empress Wu couldn't help but glance at Li Xian proudly when he saw this, and then asked calmly, "What happened?" Such a riot? ”

But I heard a waiter running over panting, glanced at Li Xian carefully, and then saluted respectfully to Empress Wu: "Qiyu Tianhou Niangniang, it seems that I found the soap nail ...... in front."

"What do you say? This, how is this possible? Before Empress Wu could speak, she saw that Gaozong was suddenly furious, pointed at the servant and said, "Dog minion, can you see clearly?" If it's a false report, I'll ask you a crime of deception! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's true, the minion did see something white." The chamberlain turned pale and whispered.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, what is this? Shall we go and have a look? Maybe it's a soap nail? He is a little chamberlain, where does he know this? Seeing this, Empress Wu immediately smiled, took Gaozong's arm and said softly.

"Well, I also believe that it is definitely not a soapnail there." Gaozong's face was a little pale, he nodded, and then sighed: "Everyone knows that my son has always been loyal and filial, how could he do this?" You say I'm so old, I don't believe who my son will believe? ”

Although Gaozong said this, people with a heart saw that Gaozong had actually lost some self-confidence at this time, as if he was comforting himself.

Gaozong said like this, and walked forward with Empress Wu.

After a while, Gojong came to a place surrounded by a group of guards, and when he looked closer, he saw that there was a cellar there, and in it were hundreds of soapnails that had been taken out by the guards like a hill.

Seeing this scene, Gaozong was immediately furious and shouted at Li Xian: "Prince, didn't you just keep saying that you are innocent? Look, what's here? Is it soapnails? Hey, it's a shame that I trust you so much, and I've never had any suspicions about you, but you're a rebel who has made such a move, and now, if you tell me, the evidence is in front of you, what else do you have to say?
