Chapter 55: The Killing Begins 1

Zichen Palace, after the martial queen finished the last recital, put down the red pen and relaxed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhang Ying very appropriately brought 10,000 bird's nest porridge to her, and Empress Wu took a sip and asked Zhang Yingdao, "Zhang Ying, how long have you been following this palace?" ”

"It's been thirteen years." Zhang Ying replied in a low voice.

"Thirteen years!" Empress Wu sighed, she didn't speak, but lowered her head to drink porridge, and after drinking porridge, she asked, "What is the prince doing these days?" ”

"Except for summoning his subordinate officials in the East Palace and asking them to continue to investigate the cause of Wei Ling's death, it is to let Li Duoqi and Chen Gong form their own personal guards, but there is no action." Zhang Ying pondered.

He has followed Empress Wu for thirteen years, and has been in charge of Empress Wu's secret guard for six years, and the Prince's East Palace has always been a key place for him to monitor.

"By the way, Niangniang, the prince has summoned Wei Chi Xunyan twice in a row during this time, but they talked twice, the first time was in Tangyuan, which was difficult to eavesdrop, and the second time was in the Chongjiao Palace, which was heavily defended, and we didn't hear anything specific in our eyes." Zhang Ying lowered his head and whispered.

He put the East Palace in the position of key overseer for six years, but there are still many places that cannot be penetrated, which makes him feel that he is derelict in his duty. In fact, if Li Hong's East Palace had not been for Gaozong's people to restrain Empress Wu's secret guard eyeline, it is estimated that Empress Wu would have been infiltrated to the bottom.

"Wei Chi Xunyan?" Empress Wu frowned and said, "Is it Yu Chi Baolin's third son?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Ying replied.

"Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi, Xue Yan, Liu Yizhi, Fan Lubing, the prince has taken a good move!" Empress Wu sighed.

Gathering the children of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty around her, the Empress Wu knows how powerful this force is, but she can't help it, because Li Hong is the blood of the Li family and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he has this qualification, and the Empress Wu is the queen mother, she can't compare with Li Hong in this regard.

There is also the fact that Empress Wu has been watching Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing for a long time, and she is only ready to wait for an excellent opportunity to summon the two to her side, but she didn't expect to be dug up to the East Palace by Li Hong.

This made Empress Wu a little more wary of Li Hong.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ying asked cautiously. Following the Empress Wu so much, he knows every move of the Empress Wu very well, and when he heard Empress Wu say this, he knew that the queen mother had taken action again.

"Withdraw those who were sent to Helan Min's Mansion to monitor!" Empress Wu said, "Let this part of the people go to see Qin Zhan, Wei Chi Xunyan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan." ”

"Lao Chen understands!" Zhang Ying was slightly stunned and hurriedly received his life. But he asked again, "What about Helan Minzhi's side?" Last time, our secret guards found out that the people from the Prince's East Palace were also spying on him. This time, the contradiction between him and the crown prince has deepened, will this be..."

"The secret guards trained by Yan Zhuang are commonplace, otherwise this palace would not let him exist to this day, don't pay attention to them." Empress Wu said, "As for Helan Minzhi, since Bengong has decided to focus on cultivating him, it's time to see what he has about him that is worth Bengong's time and energy on." ”

"And the cause of Wei Ling's death is not as simple as imagined, let your subordinates settle down a little during this time, don't cause any more trouble, the current prince is no longer the former prince, and this palace will never be careless about him in the future!" Empress Wu sighed.

Zhang Ying's body was shocked, it was the first time he had heard the queen mother say such a solemn thing, this was treating the prince as an important opponent! But after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, with the prince's recent methods, he also felt that the prince had changed a lot, and various means emerged in endlessly, first of all, he didn't know where to find Sun Simiao to heal his body, and then used the excuse of revising, supplementing and standardizing medical works to recruit talents, and silently arranged Di Renjie to Dali Temple, and then taught Helan Minzhi a hard lesson.

If all this had been put in front of him, he would not have dared to imagine that it was the prince's means...

"Mother, don't we have any other action?" Thinking of this, Zhang Ying asked a little puzzled. He felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and the strength of the prince had grown a lot, and he couldn't do without a move on his side!

"Wait, let's wait until the Huaxian tragedy is clarified!" Empress Wu said, "Besides, now that the crown prince is assassinated, the first thing is to find out the real culprit, Your Majesty is very concerned about this matter..."

After half of Empress Wu's words, he didn't continue to say more, but Zhang Ying has been following Empress Wu for a long time, so he naturally knows the meaning of Empress Wu's words, the current prince is His Majesty's rebel scale, and before the murderer is found out, if anyone has an uninteresting intention to be unfavorable to the prince, His Majesty promises that he will not give up.

Another point is that the Huaxian tragedy is aimed at the prince Li Hong, only the mediocre will think so, and those who can really analyze it clearly know that the Huaxian tragedy is not only aimed at the prince, but also seems to be aimed at the queen.

Because once the prince's position is threatened, as the prince's mother, Empress Wu knows that she will inevitably be implicated, coupled with the previous turmoil after the abolition, she knows that this is the real intention of the enemy.

"No!" When Zhang Ying saw Empress Wu say this, he bowed down to receive the order and stopped talking.

……

……

He Lanminyi sat in the room with a gloomy face and did not speak, and Helan Minyue, the wife of Wei on the side, glanced at him and sighed slightly.

Since her mother died, she loves her brother very much, no matter what brother does to hurt nature, she doesn't think it's a big deal.

But now, Brother was insulted by the prince, she should have been very angry, but she just didn't get up with the prince Li Hong... Because deep down in her heart, she faintly felt that her brother was too out of line, and she shouldn't provoke the prince repeatedly...

Therefore, when the elder brother asked her to enter the palace and wanted Gaozong to complain about his grievances and give the prince eye medicine, she sternly refused.

She knew that her brother had gone to her aunt Empress Wu after being beaten by the prince, and she went with her grandmother, but she was reprimanded by her aunt. Therefore, she knew that Brother Ah was wronged, but she really didn't know what was wrong with her, how could she refuse Brother A's request without hesitation?

"Brother-" Helan Minyue hesitated for a long time, and was just about to speak, Helan Minzhi said happily, "Sister, you agreed?" ”

"Brother, little sister thinks, you..." It's just that Helan Minzhi's words haven't finished yet, Helan Minzhi's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly, he interrupted Helan Minyue's words and asked, "Little sister, are you still thinking about him in your heart?" ”

"Nope!" Helan Minyue reprimanded coldly, "Brother, please don't say this sentence again in the future." ”

Helan Minyue is now deeply favored by Gaozong, if this sentence reaches Gaozong's ears, she knows very well what the consequences will be.

"Humph——!" Helan Minzhi sneered, "If you don't think about him in your heart, you won't be so protective of him, otherwise your brother will be insulted by him, why won't you be angry for your brother?" Do you know that now Brother is about to grow up as the laughing stock of Anseong..."

Thinking of the scene of begging for mercy when he was beaten by Li Hong, Helan Minzhi's eyes were about to erupt with anger.

"You-" Helan Minzhi was in her heart and wanted to defend herself, but seeing her brother's angry gaze, she held back her words and left. Because she really still thinks about Li Hong in her heart, thinking of Li Hong, who was once a boy with a weak body in the East Palace, a boy with a pair of simple and dusty eyes.

As soon as Helan Minyue left, Mr. Zhao and Wu Youzhi, who had an arm cut off by Li Hong, and Helan Chong, who had already bandaged the wound, walked in.

"Mr. Zhao, I can't bear this breath, since my aunt doesn't call the shots for me, I can only rely on you." Helan Minzhi said when he saw Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao had long known that Helan Minzhi would say this, but he was not surprised at all, if Helan Minzhi could bear this tone, it would be strange, so he nodded slightly and said, "Lang Jun, don't worry, your injury will not be in vain, but this matter is not urgent, now the first thing you have to do is to recuperate." ”

"What does Mr. Zhao mean?" Helan Minzhi asked.

"Lang Jun, the Huaxian tragedy has not found any evidence in favor of the prince so far, we can make some fuss about this. Secondly, the Tibetan mission is about to arrive in Chang'an City, and when the time comes, we will borrow the sword of the Tibetan people to deal with the prince, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving? Why force yourself at this time? Mr. Zhao said slowly.

"So Mr. Zhao already has a good plan in mind?" Helan Minzhi asked eagerly.

"Hmm." Mr. Zhao nodded slightly, and when he saw that Helan Minzhi still wanted to ask, he said, "But it's not easy to tell Lang Jun about this matter now, and I hope Lang Jun can understand." ”

"This-" Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Helan Minzhi was blocked by Mr. Zhao, a little depressed, so he said indignantly, "Even so, the anger in my heart is hard to dissipate!" ”

"Lang Jun, doesn't the prince have a leg with Zhou Juan from Yanshoufang's scallion noodle restaurant? Why don't we give Zhou Juan to..."Helan Chong said fiercely. He was cut off an arm by Li Hong, and his hatred for Li Hong was no less than that of Helan Minzhi.

"Zhou Juan?" Hearing this name again, Helan Minzhi's face instantly became ugly, because he hated Li Hong even more in his heart, he played Chang'an flowers, there are not many women who can look at him, the noodles of Yanshoufang Xi Shi Zhou Juan can be counted as one, and the Zhao Hongskirt of Yeting Palace can also be counted as one, but these two women he fancy are now all occupied by Li Hong...

Helan Minzhi thought of the scene when Danfengmen was violently beaten by Li Hong again, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "But she is Li Hong's woman after all, we can't rob it!" ”

"It's just that it's not difficult to deal with Zhou Juan." Mr. Zhao said suddenly.

"Mr. Zhao has a way?" Helan Min said with joy.

If he can really get Li Hong's woman to be a plaything under his crotch, so that Li Hong is helpless against himself, he doesn't mind taking a risk, this kind of revenge is refreshing enough!

Mr. Zhao nodded slightly, and slowly said his attention. After hearing this, Helan Minzhi, Wu Youzhi, and Helan Chong all had lewd smiles on their faces.

"Helan Chong, this matter will be handed over to you." Helan Minzhi showed a lewd smile on his face, and ordered loudly, "You can do it boldly, if something happens, I will take care of it for you, as long as the matter is done, you will naturally be indispensable." ”

"No!" Helan Chong happily received the order. can take revenge on the crown prince Li Hong, and he can get a lot of rewards when things are done, how can he not be happy?
