Chapter 269: Bold

East Palace, Front Hall.

"Your Highness?"

Dai Zhide frowned and shouted softly.

It stands to reason that this time King Yong broke the halberd and sank in the sand, not only did he not get the credit, but also lost his impression points in front of the courtiers, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future.

In such a situation, Li Hong should be happy, but for some reason, after getting off the court meeting, Li Hong has been looking sad, which really makes Dai Zhide a little confused.

"Huh?"

Li Hong woke up like a dream, and arched his hand with a hint of apology.

"Today's incident is indeed a lonely Dai Shi! I hope Master Dai forgives me! ”

In fact, today in Hanyuan Palace, Li Hong really didn't expect things to develop to such a point......

Although he had expected it and knew that Li Xian would definitely not settle down, whether it was the-for-tat confrontation between Dai Zhide and Liu Renliang, or Li Zhi's anger, it was all unexpected by Li Hong.

Even in the end, Empress Wu's inexplicable will and Li Xian's last words with deep meaning made Li Hong have some doubts out of thin air.

"Hehe, Your Highness is too careful, today's matter is just the duty of the old minister!"

However, Dai Zhide didn't think about it so much, and stroked his beard and said.

"His Royal Highness King Yongwang is ambitious and ambitious, not to mention that His Royal Highness has done this matter personally from beginning to end, how can he be robbed of credit by others at this time!"

After a pause, the old man frowned and continued.

"But Your Highness, today's events are indeed a bit strange, what is the meaning of the queen's will?"

To be honest, Dai Zhide was also puzzled by the will of the Empress Wu.

It stands to reason that in today's situation, no matter who continues to preside over the peace talks, there is not much difference, and the Empress Wu chose to let Xu Jingzong help Li Hong, but she didn't want to use it as a court dispute in such a national event.

Now that the dust has settled, the attitude of the Empress Wu is very obvious.

Since Empress Wu let Li Xian go to court for a hearing, she naturally intended to support Li Xian, so it stands to reason that even if Empress Wu will not speak out to support Li Xian at this time, she will remain silent.

Didn't you see that Xu Jingzong didn't speak all the time......

So Dai Zhide actually felt that this will was a bit strange in his heart.

"I can't figure it out alone, but ......"

Li Hong's tone froze slightly.

But he suddenly remembered that when Shangguan Wan'er entered the hall, Li Xian's expression was still very calm, and there was even a faint hint of a smile.

And after Shangguan Wan'er finished relaying Empress Wu's words, Li Xian's face suddenly became very ugly.

Li Hong didn't pay attention at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there is clearly a trace of surprise and disbelief in his expression.

It was as if he had expected that the Empress Wu would send someone to come.

After a pause, Li Hong conveyed the gloomy words of Li Xian to Dai Zhide in the main hall at the end.

At this moment, Dai Zhide also looked dignified, and said intently.

"In this way, Your Highness is afraid to be careful, His Royal Highness Yongwang failed to achieve his goal this time, I am afraid that he will not just give up, presumably the matter of peace talks, or to create a storm out of thin air......"

At this moment, Wang Fusheng hurriedly came in and said in Li Hong's ear.

"Your Highness, there is news from Helan Mansion, saying that as soon as the palace door opened early this morning, Mrs. Rongguo hurriedly entered the palace, and she has not come out until now......"

Hearing this, Li Hong's expression suddenly turned grim, and he vaguely understood the confidence in Li Xian's heart.

I also understand why Empress Wu chose to send people to the court to spread the word at the time of the court meeting.

If there is still someone in this world who can make Empress Wu do what he is not willing to do, then I am afraid that this person has no one else except Mrs. Rongguo.

He is a grandmother who is not distinguished, she has been protecting Helan Minzhi before, and now she has been helping Li Xian, which really gives Li Hong a headache.

But in this case, why did the Empress Wu spread such a will?

Li Hong's expression suddenly became very confused.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Hong's expression change for a while, Dai Zhide knew that something must have happened, so he frowned and asked.

The latter hesitated slightly for a moment and opened his mouth to tell Mrs. Rongguo about it.

At this moment, even Dai Zhide was a little confused, stroking his beard and saying.

"Since Mrs. Rongguo is a lobbyist invited by His Royal Highness King Yong, she must be sure, otherwise the queen would not have chosen to send Shangguan Wan'er over at the time of the court meeting, but since she sent someone over, why is the will like this...... Could it be that the queen mother is deliberately prevaricating Mrs. Rongguo? Or ......"

Dai Zhide's brows furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice.

However, a possibility was raised, but he shook his head and denied it.

Although he doesn't like Empress Wu and a woman presiding over the government, he has to say that after staying in the political hall for so long, Dai Zhide still has some understanding of Empress Wu's character.

Empress Wu is a very decisive person, if it is something she doesn't want to do, she will only refuse directly, but if it is something she promises, it will inevitably be carried out to the letter.

Even if the other party is Mrs. Rongguo, I'm afraid that Empress Wu will not change at this point.

But in any case, Empress Wu did send someone, and it was her most confidant female official who was sent......

What's going on?

For a while, Dai Zhide also had some doubts.

"Could it be that Shangguan Wan'er ......?"

Hearing Dai Zhide's words, Li Hong felt a pang in his heart, and his tone was a little more incredulous.

Since the problem is not with Empress Wu, then I am afraid it is with Shangguan Wan'er......

Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er's strange actions in the main hall at that time, Li Hong's heart suddenly floated a shocking possibility.

At the same time, Dai Zhide also raised his head, his face slightly gloomy.

"What does Your Highness mean that Shangguan Wan'er dares to be pretentious?"

Compared with Li Hong's hesitation, Dai Zhide had no scruples and said it straightforwardly.

There was also a little more solemnity in his tone.

However, Li Hong was still a little uncertain in his heart.

It is true that this matter is indeed a little unbelievable, in his impression, Shangguan Wan'er is a smart woman, and she should know her situation very clearly.

Even though Li Hong is now the prince, you must know that Shangguan Wan'er is a person in the palace, a veritable person under the Empress Wu, if she angers the Empress Wu, even if Li Hong has the heart to help her, I am afraid that she is powerless.

Therefore, this kind of thing should not be done in the sense of proportion.

But today's situation, it seems, there is no other explanation than this possibility.

Therefore, for a while, Li Hong was also a little uncertain.

But a moment later, Wang Fusheng walked in again, and this time it seemed to be more eager than the last time, and behind him, there was a girl in palace clothes with a worried face.

When Li Hong saw this woman, he couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, he knew this woman, she was Shangguan Wan'er's personal person, and her name was Ning Shuang.

Before the woman named Ning Shuang came to the center of the main hall, she knelt down and said to Li Hong.

"Your Highness, save Sister Shangguan, the queen mother is now furious, and she wants to ...... I'm going to kill my sister! ”

Xu was nervous, and Ning Shuang couldn't even speak clearly, and even cried in the middle of speaking......

And Li Hong was shocked, it seems that his guess is really going to come true!

This is in trouble! (To be continued.) )
