In Taiji Palace, the commander of the Nighthawk reported to Emperor Li Yuanyu: "Today, King Yong'an stayed in the palace of King Qin for a day, and accepted King Qin's daughter and son as a righteous daughter. ”

Li Yuan looked displeased, and muttered to himself: "Li Xuan's excellence is beyond my imagination, controlling the divine thunder, soaring clouds and fog, and moving mountains and seas, these magical powers are not something that the world can have, the most infuriating thing is that Li Xuan supports Shimin, not the prince, he is still obsessed now, one way to the end, today he actually recognized Shimin's daughter as a righteous daughter, I can't let him be with Shimin again, he is too good, he will become the biggest variable in my plan, this is something I absolutely cannot allow." The Tang Dynasty can only be built in the future, not the people's, absolutely not. ”

After Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and pondered, he turned his head and ordered Wang De, the chief eunuch serving behind him: "The edict orders King Yong'an to enter the palace at night, and I will personally feast him in this Taiji Palace." Thanks to him for defeating the Turkic Great Witch Gargamel and maintaining the Tang Dynasty. ”

Late at night, Li Xuan followed Wang De into the Taiji Palace.

As soon as he entered the Taiji Palace, before he could salute, Li Yuan walked up to Li Xuan, took Li Xuan's hand and said, "King Yong'an, come, have dinner with me." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Li Xuan to a rectangular dining table, on the leftmost side of the main seat, Li Yuan gently pressed Li Xuan down on the seat, and then, he walked to the main seat, slowly sat down, and ordered the serving eunuch: "Serve." ”

Soon, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies were served one after another.

Li Yuan took a jar of fine wine from Wang De, the chief eunuch, and said: "This is a jar of fine wine that has been treasured for nearly 30 years. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuan poured a full bowl for Li Xuan. Li Xuan hurriedly took it with both hands and expressed his gratitude.

Li Yuan looked at Li Xuan, who was slightly restrained, and said: "Don't be restrained, let's forget about those red tapes today, I treat you as my nephew, you treat me as my uncle, let's get drunk together." ”

"Yes." Li Xuan replied respectfully.

After more than half of the wine, Li Xuan was completely relaxed and a little drunk.

Li Yuan felt that the time was ripe, so he nodded slightly to Wang De, who was serving on his side.

Wang De immediately understood Li Yuan's thoughts, and slowly withdrew from the Taiji Palace. As soon as he left the gate of Taiji Palace, Wang De quickened his pace and hurried towards the East Palace of the Prince.

In the East Palace of the Prince, Wei Zheng, who was dressed in a scarlet official uniform, reported to the prince in civilian clothes: "Today, King Yong'an visited the King of Qin and recognized the daughter of the King of Qin, the son of the county lord, as a righteous daughter. ”

The crown prince Jiancheng's face was gloomy, and he said indignantly: "Li Xuan, who doesn't know the current affairs, he followed the people with an iron heart. recognized his son as a righteous daughter, and their relationship took another step, didn't this make it clear that the prince was ugly? ”

Wei Zheng suggested: "We can't let them be together anymore. Li Xuan is resourceful and skillful, and the king of Qin will be like a tiger with wings. Take the sudden appearance of a rainbow in King Qin's mansion today, it was just a small trick by Li Xuan, but the foolish people in the capital would think that auspicious things fell from the sky, and King Qin should own the world, and Li Xuan invisibly helped King Qin and gained support for King Qin. ”

The crown prince sighed and said, "Yes, I can't let them be together." We need to find a way to keep them apart. ”

At this time, Wang De, under the leadership of the prince's cronies, walked into the East Palace. After seeing the crown prince, Wang De said in a low voice: "King Yong'an is now drinking a banquet in Taiji Palace and is about to get drunk. ”

Wei Zheng looked at Wang De in surprise.

The crown prince walked up to Wang De, handed Wang De a bag of gold and silver, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang." ”

After Wang De took the gold and silver, he turned around and returned to the Taiji Palace.

Prince Jiancheng and Wei Zheng were silent, both thinking about the information provided by Wang De.

At this time, Feng Li, the commander of the guards behind the crown prince, said to the crown prince: "Your Highness, the minister has an idea, which can not only help His Highness get rid of Li Xuan, but also help His Highness get rid of another thorn in the eye. ”

Prince Jiancheng was surprised: "Oh, does Commander Feng have any good plans? Come on. ”

Feng Li replied: "In the palace, the ninth princess Li Qing has always been friendly with the King of Qin, and today the minister saw with his own eyes that the ninth princess went to the Pingyang Princess Mansion at the appointment of Princess Pingyang, and the Yanxi Palace was vacant. If we let the drunk Li Xuan stay overnight in the Yanxi Palace of the Ninth Princess. Early tomorrow morning, we can use this to get Li Xuan to prison, and we can completely ruin the reputation of the Ninth Princess, what does Your Highness think? ”

After the prince finished groaning, he said, "Well, this is a good idea, you can do it." ”

"Yes." Feng Li replied respectfully.

Wei Zheng stood up and suggested to the crown prince: "Your Highness, the bad guy has a good name, isn't this good?" ”

Prince Jiancheng said: "What's wrong? The top priority at the moment is not to let Li Xuan be with the people of the world anymore, according to what Commander Feng said, this time it can not only let Li Xuan go to prison, but also warn those who are close to the people, how can it be bad? ”

Wei Zheng saw that the crown prince had made up his mind, so it was not good to say anything about this matter.

It's just that he still reminded the crown prince: "Wang De is the closest person to Your Majesty, and he would take refuge in the prince because of some small favors from the prince." The minister felt a little suspicious, and hoped that the prince would be careful. ”

Prince Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Wei Qing, you are resourceful, but you are too cautious. People die for money, birds die for food, although he Wang De is a close confidant of his father, but he is also a mortal, he helps the prince, one is for money, and the other is that now the prince is now powerful and has a great future, he is optimistic about the prince, he is preparing for him in the future. ”

After Wei Zheng sat down slowly, he sighed, "I hope so." ”

At the end of the banquet, Li Xuan left the Taiji Palace drunk. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, the eunuch arranged by Feng Li supported Li Xuan and said, "King Yong'an, please go with the slave, and the slave will take you out of the palace." ”

Li Xuan, supported by the eunuch, staggered forward. As he walked, the strength of the wine came up, and Li Xuan became unconscious, completely paralyzed on the eunuch who was supporting him.

Soon, the two came to the gate of Yanxi Palace. The eunuch hurriedly beckoned to the palace people of Yanxi Palace, who had already been bought by the crown prince: "Help me quickly, he is too heavy." ”

After that, the two dragged Li Xuan into Li Qing's bedroom in Yanxi Palace. Li Xuan lay on his back on Li Qing's bed and fell asleep soundly.

The two looked at the sleeping Li Xuan, looked at each other and smiled, and left together.

In Taiji Palace, Wang De reported to Li Yuanyu: "Your Majesty, King Yong'an has been sent to the bedroom of the ninth princess of Yanxi Palace by the people arranged by the prince. ”

"Nine princesses? How did Jiancheng involve Qing'er? Li Yuan asked.

Wang De replied: "Today, the ninth princess went to Princess Pingyang's mansion and did not come back. And the ninth princess has always been close to His Royal Highness King Qin, and the crown prince ......."

Li Yuan said with a gloomy face: "It seems that I really underestimated it, he not only wants to separate Li Xuan from Shimin, but also wants to give a warning to those close to Shimin - those who offend him will not end well." This is the prince of my filial piety? It's just that I pity my Qing'er. After this incident, Qing'er's reputation was completely ruined. I just need an excuse, a drunk, at the mercy of Li Xuan, the crown prince can't find a better way? Do you have to be so vicious? ”

Wang De saw that Li Yuan was displeased, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, why don't you rearrange it again for the old slave?" ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it." We are cooperating with the prince to act, although the prince is not authentic, but we still have to cooperate with him and sing this play. ”
