The night was long, most of the people were asleep, only the bedroom in the corner of the East Palace was lit with candles, and the two brothers didn't know what they were plotting.

It wasn't until Li Yuanji and Yu Wenbao left the dormitory that the secret guard appeared.

He said to Li Jiancheng worriedly: "Master, do you really believe in King Qi? ”

A hint of ridicule crossed the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth: "It's just using each other." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup that Li Yuanji had touched with a clip and threw it into the stove.

Li Yuanji talked to him just now, and his mouth was dry, so he subconsciously picked up the teacup and drank it, but when the teacup came to his mouth, Li Yuanji paused, and then continued to drink tea.

But in fact, Li Yuanji didn't drink it, just made a gesture of drinking tea, and this scene did not miss Li Jiancheng's eyes.

He said that he would swear allegiance to him, but he didn't even dare to drink the cup of tea he gave.

Hehe, it's really his good brother.

Li Jiancheng's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "While those Praetorian Guards haven't woken up yet, you go out and find a few people......

The secret guard carefully wrote it down, and then quietly left the East Palace with someone.

Shortly after the Dark Guard left, the Praetorian Guard, who had put on his clothes again, woke up.

"I ...... How did I fall asleep? The Praetorian Guard, who was the first to wake up, pressed his temples with a blank look on his face to sober himself up.

Others woke up one after another.

Someone said, "No, we can't all fall asleep, we must have been tricked." ”

The crowd was shocked.

"Could it be...... We were drugged just now? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly.

"Let's go and see if the prince is still inside."

The Commander hurriedly reached for his waist, but when he reached for the key, he froze.

It stands to reason that if the key is on you, then no one should go in.

But to be on the safe side, the Commander decided to go in and check it out.

So, the commander opened the palace gate, left two guards, and led the others into the East Palace.

They went to the prince's dormitory first, and just as they were about to push the door, an attendant came from under the porch and scolded:

"What do you want to do?"

The commander turned his head to look at the inner attendant and said in a deep voice, "I'll come to see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is okay." ”

The chamberlain sneered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not at ease, and he doesn't need a little commander from you to care."

"Don't you want to live by breaking in so recklessly and disturbing His Highness's sleep?

"Don't get down yet."

Facing the reprimand of the chamberlain, a trace of ridicule crossed the commander's face, the current prince is difficult to protect himself, how can he still have the ability to decide his life and death?

Thinking of this, the commander no longer bothered with the chamberlain, and pushed the door of the temple open.

"You ......" the chamberlain jumped to his feet angrily: "Presumptuous, you fanatics, dare to be disrespectful to His Highness......"

As soon as the commander stepped into the hall, Li Jiancheng's voice came from the inner room: "Who is making a noise?" ”

The next moment, Li Jiancheng walked out in a coat.

After all, he was still the crown prince, and the commander and others immediately saluted: "Your Highness." ”

Li Jiancheng frowned unhappily: "You guys came here late at night, what's the matter?" ”

"This ......" the Commander paused.

No, he can't expose what he was plotting against, it's too embarrassing.

So, the commander changed his words and said: "The last general is just worried about the safety of His Highness, so he came to check, and seeing that His Highness is safe and sound, the last general is relieved."

"I disturbed His Highness's rest, and I ask His Highness to forgive my sins, and I will retire at the end."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Jiancheng to speak, he took people away.

The chamberlain complained angrily: "Your Highness, they are too disagreeable, and it is really hateful that they dare to treat you like this before Your Majesty has spoken." ”

"Forget it, you can step aside." Li Jiancheng's voice sounded very tired.

Looking at Li Jiancheng's lonely back, the inner servant couldn't help but feel sad.

At this time, a palace maid came to report in a panic: "Your Highness is not good, the Praetorian Guard asked everyone to gather in the courtyard, saying that they wanted to check if anyone had sneaked out." ”

Hearing this, the anger in the heart of the waiter rushed to the top of his head, and he scolded: "This group of dogs, our Highness has not done anything yet, so dare to be so presumptuous?" ”

Then, he said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, let me lead someone to drive them out." ”

"No need, let them go." Li Jiancheng's voice was indifferent.

The chamberlain was anxious: "Your Highness ......"

"Stand down."

Li Jiancheng turned around and entered the inner room again.

And Zheng Guanyin and the others saw the palace maid coming back, and hurriedly asked, "What did Your Highness say?" ”

"Your Highness......" The palace maid hung her head, not daring to answer.

Zheng Guanyin's face sank and shouted: "Say! ”

Only then did the palace maid reply hesitantly: "Your Highness said...... Follow...... Let them go......"

Hearing this, the women in the East Palace all showed a depressed look.

Zheng Guanyin didn't speak, clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, and firmly remembered the humiliating scene in front of him.

On the day when the East Palace turned over, she would definitely kill these Praetorian Guards.

After the search, the Praetorian Guard locked the palace gate again.

"Commander, there is no shortage of people in the East Palace, now we can rest assured."

"It's a lot more reassuring."

Immediately, the commander ordered everyone: "Since nothing happened in the East Palace, don't talk about tonight's events." ”

"Yes."

......

The next day.

As the officials heard the news that the King of Qin had awakened, the call for the deposition of the crown prince from the early court became louder and louder.

Li Yuan said to everyone with a calm face: "This case is too big and needs to be carefully examined, and the three divisions will sort out the case again and then submit the results to me." ”

Everyone: "......"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xiao Yu said to Chen Shuda: "It seems that Your Majesty wants to wait until the war at the front stabilizes before disposing of the crown prince." ”

Chen Shuda thought deeply: "Since this is the case, let's wait patiently." ”

At this moment, Li Sixing was hurrying to Taiji Palace, because he had to report a big matter to the emperor.

However, just as he was about to arrive at the Taiji Palace, Yu Wenbao suddenly rushed over and dragged him into a secret place.

Looking at the guards who came around, Li Sixing suddenly became vigilant: "Yu Wenbao, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do I want to do?" Yu Wenbao sneered: "It should be what you want to do, right?" Say, what are you doing in Tai Chi Palace?

"Don't say what the master ordered, because the master never gave you an order at all."

Li Sixing's expression froze, and the next moment, he was in a hurry: "I'm here to find Princess Jinyang to inquire about the news." ”

"Huh!" Yu Wenbao couldn't help but sneer: "The master and Princess Jinyang have always been on bad terms, you came to Princess Jinyang to inquire about the news, I'm afraid you don't believe it yourself, right?"

"Say, do you want to find Your Majesty to report the master?"

Hearing this, Li Sixing hurriedly explained: "Of course not, you don't have much blood. ”

"Yes or no, you better go and explain it to the master yourself."

As he spoke, Yu Wenbao grabbed Li Sixing's arm and dragged him in the direction of the Wude Palace.

Li Sixing was so angry that he grabbed Yu Wenbao with his backhand, forcing him to stop: "Yu Wenbao, don't think that I don't know what you do on weekdays, if the master knows that you have accepted bribes and delayed your business, the master will definitely kill you." ”

"Humph!" Yu Wenbao was unmoved: "Which man is not greedy for money?" I'm just a minor problem, and the master won't blame it at all.

"But you leak the news privately and sabotage the master's plan, this is a capital crime."

A hint of panic flashed in Li Sixing's eyes, it was obvious that Yu Wenbao already knew about his betrayal.

What to do?

With the temper of his master, he has only a dead end when he goes back.

In that case, he can only resist......
