Until dusk, the procession of the palace came, and there was no rumored Qincha, but the emperor himself.

At dusk, Xia Shang, who had traveled for several months, finally met the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven and the famous Li Shimin.

The meeting came suddenly, and in order to ensure the safety of the emperor, this time the exit from the palace was absolutely confidential.

However, Xia Shang didn't see any difference from Li Shimin, except that his waist was stiffer, and the imperial robe was more luxurious, and he could hardly find any difference. To be honest, Xia Shang was a little disappointed, because he felt that the ancient emperors should have the so-called imperial spirit, standing there gave people no anger and self-authority, and the invisible pressure overwhelmed people. There was no such feeling, and after learning Xia Shang's identity, he looked at him quietly.

Outside the Heyu Xuan, Xia Shang and Li Shimin stood opposite each other, and after a long pause, the eunuch behind Li Shimin scolded sharply: "Don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty?" ”

Xia Shang smiled, clenched his fists upright, and bowed: "Your Majesty has not revealed his whereabouts, so he should not kneel, so as not to arouse suspicion." ”

Li Shimin was concerned about Li You, and he didn't care about the number of etiquette, but he was a little interested in Xia Shang after learning about his identity.

"This is the cook? The one who asked Li Luo, Li You, and Jia Yu to intercede? ”

Recalling what Xia Shang said just now, he was neither humble nor silent, it was indeed a little different, he couldn't help but nodded, and then bypassed Xia Shang and entered the house: "Come with me." ”

Li Shimin went to Li You's cultivation room, and after seeing Li You's weak adopted son, the emperor finally showed a dangerous momentum and asked in a low voice what happened.

Xia Shang explained what happened 1510, and told all the clues of the investigation to the middle-aged man in front of him.

Of course, what Xia Shang said was only a clue, and he did not add any of his own analysis, from yesterday's trip to the sudden heavy rain, to the rain to search, and even today's on-site investigation. The current clues include arrows pointing to the crown prince, the assassin is extraordinary, and Lingzhi saved Li You's life.

After hearing this, Li Shimin didn't say anything, and ordered someone to transfer Li You to a larger palace at the foot of the mountain, and the rest of the people continued to stay in Heyuxuan, and all of them returned to Beijing early tomorrow morning.

Li Shimin's approach is puzzling, no one thought that things would be so peaceful, at least a group of people should be implicated, but everything happened except for unvented anger.

It only took half a day for some people to go from being puzzled to understanding, and soon some people understood why. The reason is that the arrow that represents the identity of the prince. Whether it was the crown prince or not, the matter must involve a fight between the princes.

Among the several princes, the first, third, fourth, and fifth princes are currently the most likely to fight.

The appearance of this arrow makes people's first reaction be to blame, so the third prince and the fourth prince are suspicious.

But thinking about it the other way, could it be that the prince did it on purpose? To get rid of suspicion by this means? So the crown prince is also suspicious.

It's much more than that, and there are still doubts.

Li You is going to be assigned a fief away from the capital, it stands to reason that he is the most unlikely person to be a threat to several princes, why would he do something to him? The current result is that Li You is seriously injured and needs to recuperate for a long time, resulting in Li You being unable to leave Chang'an. After this difficulty, Li You inexplicably stayed in Chang'an, that is, he retained a chance to compete for the throne. Could it be Li You's suspicion, the purpose is to let himself stay?

The four princes are all suspicious, will those young princes also be involved? They are not sensible, it does not mean that the people around them are not sensible, and it is not impossible to deliberately stir up the situation!

An arrow stirred up a puddle of muddy water, no matter who it was, it made Li Shimin embarrassed, and he did this to pretend to be deaf and dumb to put the matter to rest.

……

Guarding the moonlit night, the cold glow shone on Xia Shang's sad face. He guessed the emperor's plan, but with it came pressure.

"Brother Xia, what are you doing here?" Li Luo walked to Xia Shang's side.

Before, Li Luo knew that Xia Shang had something, so he didn't intervene, but now that he knows that Li Shimin takes over, Xia Shang will have leisure. The smart Li Luo appeared now, but when she walked in front of Xia Shang, what she saw was Xia Shang's sad face.

"Brother Xia, what's wrong with you? What happened? I heard that my father didn't blame anyone, and the fifth brother is safe, you should be relaxed. ”

Xia Shang squeezed out a smile, thinking to himself, how can this be easy? The emperor wants to put this matter to an end, but as a flat-headed commoner, he knows so much insider, the emperor may spare it? After thinking about it for a long time, the most likely thing is to kill people and make all those who know the secret disappear. The royal family has always been like this, I don't know how many similar things are, what about one more Xia Shang?

Li Luo seemed to guess Xia Shang's worries, and swore an oath: "Brother Xia, don't worry, Luo Luo will definitely not let you have anything to do, my father loves me the most, no matter what happens, Luo Luo will give it to Brother Xia." ”

Under the moonlight, Li Luo's serious appearance was a little playful, Xia Shang touched her head affectionately for the first time, and said with a smile: "You call me big brother, if you want to bear everything else, my big brother will inevitably be too bad." ”

Li Luo stood in place, looking up at the moon, not knowing what to think.

Xia Shang had a plan and whispered, "Go back to sleep, I'm going to the kitchen." ”

"To the kitchen? Why are you going to the kitchen so late? ”

"Prepare for tomorrow."

"Ready for tomorrow?"

"Alright, let's go to sleep."

"No, I'm going with you, maybe there's something good to eat. Giggle......"

Li Luo smiled and grabbed the corner of Xia Shang's clothes, and looked like he wouldn't leave.

I thought that Li Luo would really stay with him for one night, but who knew that a eunuch came at this time.

It was the eunuch who followed the emperor.

How did this eunuch end up here?

Xia Shang didn't understand, so the eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, it turns out that you are here!" Come with the old slave, Your Majesty misses you. ”

"Father wants to see me?"

"yes!"

"But it's so late......"

"Ouch, Your Majesty was dizzy today, and forgot about Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I remembered that I hurriedly asked the old slave to ask the princess to move over."

Although Li Luo was a little reluctant, her father didn't dare to disobey when he wanted to see her, and this feeling also moved her very much.

Turning around, he waved his small hand at Xia Shang: "Brother Xia, then we'll see you tomorrow." ”

Xia Shang smiled and nodded, seeing Li Luo disappear from his field of vision, his smile immediately disappeared, replaced by a more solemn and solemn than before.

It seems that Li Luo didn't notice that the emperor let her leave at this moment, because he must have known that Li Luo would intercede for Xia Shang, and he took Li Luo away to solve the trouble in advance.

"The emperor has made up his mind, it seems that he will not be able to sleep peacefully this night."

Xia Shang left under the moon with a muttering to himself, groping his way to the kitchen of Heyuxuan in the dark night.
