Chapter 923 is finally here
Li Yuanji stayed alone in the hall, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, but the only people who knew about it were Yu Wenbao and Li Sixing.
So, he called Yu Wenbao and Li Sixing in and told them what happened.
"What? Your Majesty...... Got it? ”
Yu Wenbao and Li Sixing were terrified, and they intuitively felt that death was approaching.
"What can I do about this?" Yu Wenbao, like Li Yuanji, was both frightened and panicked, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, constantly turning in circles in the hall, thinking about countermeasures.
Li Sixing hung his head, looking desperate, but in fact, he was hiding his emotions.
At this time, Li Yuanji suddenly asked a question: "You said that Your Majesty knew about this matter a long time ago, but you didn't hide it or punish me, why?" ”
Yu Wenbao was stunned for a moment: "Perhaps...... It is His Majesty who is reluctant to punish you, after all, you are His Majesty's son-in-law.
Or maybe it is...... Your Majesty is waiting for you to plead guilty? ”
Waiting for him to plead guilty?
Li Yuanji pondered it carefully, even if he went to ask for guilt, his father would not forgive him, and any man would not forgive this kind of thing.
Therefore, if he goes to plead guilty, he is looking for death.
Once this matter is announced, then even if the father does not want to kill him, he must kill him, so as to maintain the dignity of the emperor.
Li Sixing said weakly: "Perhaps, Your Majesty just didn't think about how to punish you. ”
No matter how his father punishes him in the end, even if he saves his life, he will be snubbed and ostracized by his father in the future.
It is impossible for a prince who has been snubbed and ostracized by the emperor to turn over, let alone seize the position of prince.
No, his years of planning can't be in vain, he must sit on the throne of the prince.
Li Yuanji secretly made up his mind, so he instructed Yu Wenbao and Li Sixing: "You go and make arrangements, I will go to the East Palace to see the prince tonight." ”
Hearing this, Yu Wenbao immediately objected: "The master can't, not to mention that the outside of the East Palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to sneak in."
"Let's just say that if anyone finds out about your going to see the prince, His Majesty will think that you are a fellow party of the prince and will arrest you.
"And you betrayed the prince, if the prince knew about this, wouldn't you go to the East Palace to fall into the net?"
was betrayed by his own brother, the prince must be furious, and once the master goes, he will definitely be retaliated against by the prince.
Although the crown prince is now under house arrest in the East Palace, it is still easy for the prince to kill people in the East Palace.
No, you can't let the master go, it's too dangerous.
Yu Wenbao strongly objected, and stabbed Li Sixing with his elbow, signaling him to dissuade Li Yuanji.
Li Sixing casually echoed Yu Wenbao's words: "That's right, master, you can't go to the East Palace. ”
Li Yuanji did not listen to their advice, insisted on going, and explained to them: "You don't have to worry, even if the prince knows that I betrayed him, I have a way to make him not do anything to me."
"Moreover, I believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to deal with those guards outside the East Palace."
In the end, he clapped his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is decided, you hurry up and arrange it." ”
Yu Wenbao still wanted to stop Li Yuanji: "Master, why don't we discuss it with Zhang Sima and them?" ”
Li Yuanji's sharp gaze immediately swept over: "What? Do I have to report to them? ”
Yu Wenbao was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and pleaded guilty: "The master is angry, the subordinates don't mean this......"
"Why don't you go soon?"
This time, Yu Wenbao didn't dare to persuade again, and immediately went to make arrangements.
Li Sixing wanted to look for an opportunity to report to Li Yuan, but because time was tight and Yu Wenbao had always been by his side, he didn't find an opportunity.
......
That night, Li Yuanji and his entourage quietly left the Wude Palace, avoiding the patrolling Praetorian Guards along the way, and cautiously approached the Tongxun Gate.
"Master, cover your mouth and nose."
After seeing Li Yuanji covering his mouth and nose, Yu Wenbao and Li Sixing took out a bamboo tube, covered their mouth and nose with one hand, and held the bamboo tube to their mouths with the other.
With a light blow, the smoke came out of the bamboo tube, and quickly dispersed towards the Tongxun Gate by the night breeze.
"Why is it so ...... all of a sudden? Dizzy......"
Before he could finish speaking, one of the nearest Praetorian Guards fell to the ground.
The rest of the Praetorian Guard immediately became vigilant, but before they could react, they fell straight down.
"Quick, move fast."
After Li Sixing greeted everyone, he took the lead in rushing to the training gate.
He quickly retrieved the keys, then ordered some of them to change out of the Janissaries' clothes.
Then, he unlocked the palace door, pushed it open, and stretched out his head to peek in.
The East Palace was quiet, and it seemed that everyone had fallen asleep.
"There's no one at the door, come in." Li Sixing greeted the people behind him.
Yu Wenbao immediately led someone to carry the fainted Praetorian Guards into the East Palace, and then closed the palace gate.
At this time, the Praetorian Guards outside the palace gate had been replaced by Li Yuanji's people, and Yu Wenbao, Li Sixing and others escorted Li Yuanji into the East Palace.
"Master, you have to hurry, after half an hour, we must retreat." Li Sixing reminded Li Yuanji.
"Got it, you stay here, Yuwenbao comes with me." Li Yuanji gave an order and walked towards the prince's bedroom.
Li Sixing's eyes flickered, and finally he obediently guarded the palace gate.
But all this was included in the eyes of the secret guard of the East Palace.
The secret guard rushed in front of Li Yuanji and went to report to Li Jiancheng first: "Master, King Qi is here." ”
What the?
Li Jiancheng sat up in surprise and looked at the secret guard: "You mean that King Qi has arrived in the East Palace?" How did he get in? ”
The secret guard said truthfully: "King Qi stunned the Praetorian Guards outside, and entered the East Palace with more than ten people, and now he is coming here with Yuwenbao." ”
Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and then ordered: "You stay in the dark, don't show up without my orders." ”
"Yes, master."
The shadow flickered, and the guard disappeared in front of him.
Li Jiancheng got up, sat neatly dressed in the hall, and waited for Li Yuanji's arrival.
Soon, Li Yuanji and Yu Wenbao appeared at the entrance of the hall.
When Li Yuanji saw the open door of the palace, he was suddenly vigilant, but he still stepped into Li Jiancheng's dormitory.
"Shiro, you're finally here."
As soon as one foot stepped in, Li Jiancheng's voice sounded coldly in the hall, startling Li Yuanji.
And this voice did not carry the slightest emotion, cold, as if it came from the underworld.
Yu Wenbao was so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward, pulled Li Yuanji's sleeve, and whispered: "Master, let's go back." ”
"It's all here, what are you going back for?" Li Yuanji scolded Yu Wenbao, then puffed up his chest and walked in calmly.
Finally, he saw Li Jiancheng sitting behind the screen, making tea elegantly.
He bypassed the screen, came to Li Jiancheng, and squeezed out an unnatural smile: "Eldest brother, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Li Jiancheng raised his head, glanced at him lightly, and then continued to make tea: "Thinking that Shiro will come to me, I will make hot tea and wait for you, so as not to freeze my brother in the cold spring." ”
Li Yuanji: "......"
