When he really entered the East Palace, Li Hong knew that the East Palace did not refer to a specific palace, the East Palace was a palace group, and this continuous piece was called the East Palace.

In fact, the East Palace is a complex small court, with a front hall and an inner palace, and the functions of each department correspond to a department on the court, so that the prince is familiar with government affairs.

Take the matter of Luoyang as an example, if Li Hong was in Chang'an, it would not happen at all, not to mention whether the maid could enter the East Palace, that is, every thing at the entrance of the crown prince had been tasted by someone, and the reason why they were able to succeed was only because Li Hong was in the Eastern Capital, so he was negligent for a while, and the original owner would carelessly drink the unchecked soup and hang up.

At this moment, the lights in the huge inner palace were bright, Pei's eyes were closed, his face was pale lying on the bed, his chest had been urgently bandaged, and a female official was holding Pei's wrist and taking the pulse.

Although the most exquisite medicine in the court must be Li Zhi's imperial doctor, after all, the crown princess has a special status, and the place where she is injured is a vital point, so Li Hong invited a female medical officer who specializes in treating the Empress Wu.

"Your Highness, Niangniang can't wake up for a while, Lord Zhang has been waiting in the front hall for a long time, do you want to go and see Lord Zhang first?"

Li Hong walked anxiously around the hall, and after a while, the little girl said with some hesitation.

"Please wait a little longer, Master Zhang, and go over alone."

Li Hong hesitated for a moment, said, and then turned to look at Pei Shi on the bed, his heart was full of chagrin, what was he afraid of!

If he had returned to the East Palace first, instead of rushing to the political affairs hall, the Pei family would not have come out to look for him, let alone be as uncertain as he is now.

"Lord Liu, how is the situation of the crown princess?"

After a moment, the female official of the Liu clan spoke.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, although the dagger is injured in the chest, fortunately, it did not hurt the organs, the minister prescribes a prescription, the mother takes the medicine on time, and she will recover after a few months of rest."

At this time, Li Hong's heart was put into his stomach, and he asked with a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, but when will Wanying wake up?"

"Your Highness will go to boil medicine for Niangniang according to the prescription of the minister, and Niangniang will wake up in a few days."

Liu's female official said.

"That's good, that's good......"

Li Hong muttered.

"Then it's troublesome Lord Liu!"

Li Hong watched the female official of the Liu family prescribe the medicine, and ordered the Medicine Collection Bureau to immediately boil the medicine according to the prescription, and hurried to the front hall after doing this.

At this moment, Zhang Wenqian had been waiting in the front hall for nearly half an hour, and as soon as Li Hong arrived in the front hall, he apologized to Zhang Wenjun.

"Lord Zhang has been waiting for a long time, Lone just now really can't get out, please forgive me."

"Haha, it's okay, it's just that His Highness shouldn't be in Luoyang, the eastern capital, now, how could he suddenly return to Chang'an, why did His Highness summon the old minister to come late at night?"

Zhang Wenqian frowned and said, he was urgently summoned by Li Hong late at night, and was left to dry for nearly half an hour, and the tea was changed several times, saying that there was no displeasure in his heart It was false, but compared to this displeasure, Zhang Wenqian was more concerned about why Li Hong appeared in the East Palace at this time, and he would summon him at this time.

Like Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenqian is also an old minister of the East Palace, he watched Li Hong grow up when he was a child, and now he worships Dali Siqing, and at the same time he also has the title of the prince's left concubine.

"Well, the matter of returning to Beijing alone is approved by the father and the queen mother, presumably the will will be made clear to the world tomorrow, Lord Zhang does not have to worry, as for what is going on today...... Hasn't Master Dai come over yet? ”

Li Hong smiled bitterly, he forgot that although Dali Siqing was ranked in the ninth party and his status was respected, he was not the prime minister, and now Li Zhi's will was still stuck in the political hall, Zhang Wenqian naturally didn't know why he returned to Beijing.

Besides, Dai Zhide hadn't arrived at this moment for some reason, so Li Hong pressed his mind and briefly told Zhang Wenqian about the assassination of the Eastern Capital and the six rates of the East Palace.

"Bold!"

As soon as he heard that Li Hong was assassinated by thieves in Dongdu, Zhang Wenqian jumped up suddenly, which frightened Li Hong.

"These thieves dare to be so arrogant, openly assassinate the prince of a country, it is simply lawless, the old minister will definitely play Your Majesty, and the thieves will be brought to justice!"

Old man Zhang's big reaction caught Li Hong a little off guard, but after thinking about it, he understood that the head of Dali Temple was in charge of the prison, and the assassination of the prince of a country was his dereliction of duty as the secretary of Dali Temple, not to mention that he was an old minister of the East Palace, so it was normal to have this reaction.

"Lord Zhang, let go of his anger for ...... time being"

Li Hong saw that Dai Zhide had not arrived, and was about to tell Zhang Wenqian about Pei's assassination, but saw an attendant hurriedly run in and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Master Dai is here."

"Then please come in."

Li Hong frowned and said to the chamberlain.

"No need, the old minister is here."

Li Hong looked up, but saw Dai Zhide walking in with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness was assassinated in Chengtianmen just now?"

This time it was Li Hong's turn to be surprised.

"Dai Shi ......"

"What, Your Highness has been assassinated again?"

Before Li Hong finished speaking, he heard Zhang Wenjun's thunderous voice behind him, no wonder he was so angry, if it was said that the matter of the Eastern Capital was beyond the reach of the whip, it was still excusable, this time Li Hong was assassinated in the imperial city, but it was simply a blatant slap in the face.

"Brother Zhang, don't be impatient, the thief has been captured by the old man, and now he is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the old man is late because of this."

Dai Zhide smiled with a mysterious smile,

"You?"

Zhang Wenqian glanced at Dai Zhide a little strangely, with a look of disbelief.

It's not that Zhang Wenqian looks down on him Dai Zhide, just with him, a Confucian who has no power to restrain the chicken, if he really encounters an assassin, it is good not to be solved by the assassin, and he still captures the assassin?

Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian have also been old friends for many years, and when they looked at him like this, their faces turned red.

"Well, it's thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sent someone to secretly escort ......"

Dai Zhide is colorful.

"The old minister just came out of the imperial city, and heard someone in the imperial city shouting loudly, 'Your Highness be careful', and soon saw a person who served in the imperial city with an injury, the old man noticed that something was wrong, so he asked the servant to come forward to interrogate, but the thief saw someone come forward to interrogate, and rushed towards the old man, fortunately, His Royal Highness sent two guards to come with him, and the thief was captured."

Dai Zhide finished talking about what happened in one breath, his mouth was dry, he grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it, and after a while, continued.

"After careful interrogation by the old minister, he learned that the man was so bold that he dared to assassinate His Highness, so he was put in the prison of the Criminal Department, and after tossing this trip, he met the guards sent by His Highness to summon the old minister, so he delayed a lot of time, and asked His Highness to forgive him."

"It's hard to wear a master, but just now Dai Shi said, that assassin actually entered and left the imperial city?"

Li Hong groaned for a moment, seemed to grasp something in his heart, and asked.

"Yes," Dai Zhide hesitated for a moment and said, "and the old minister found the token of the Yongwang Mansion on the thief's body......"

"What? Yongwang Mansion?! ”
