Li Zhi was a little dizzy, and the blurred shadow outside the gauze tent became even more blurred. So close your eyes, lie on your back on the soft couch, and try to slow down your breathing.

"Su Xiaozhou, are you guilty and accept punishment?" Li Bi asked.

"The minister knows...... I don't know ......," Su Xiaozhou replied ambiguously.

She hadn't even heard the charges, so she couldn't confess her guilt.

"Presumptuous—"

Li Bi had a dark face and paced in front of her, "Xu Yanbo is a member of the Liupin East Palace, and if he dares to buy a murderous assassin Li Qi, there must be someone behind him." His crimes should be tried by the three divisions, and you are not allowed to deal with it privately for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

"What? He...... Assassinate?! ”

"Want to deny it? The forbidden army had already found the secret letter instructing him from the inn where the assassin was hiding before the assassination, and after comparing it with Jixian Yuan, it was confirmed that it was Xu Yanbo's handwriting. ”

Li Biguan to Wei Weiqing, nominally in charge of the guards and armor of the Inner Palace, is actually a cronie who walks for His Majesty inside and outside the court. He said that if the evidence is conclusive, the matter cannot be faked.

Su Xiaozhou was speechless in surprise.

Li Qi is a member of the clan, the history of Yongzhou Assassin, and the official residence is the third grade, and he died in office more than two months ago. The funeral was extremely glorious, and it was also a sensation. Unexpectedly, he died of being stabbed, and it was Xu Yanbo who bought the murderer.

The tomb robbery case suddenly turned into a murder case, and it was a major case of killing a court official. This Xu Yanbo is really frightening!

It was such a coincidence that when Weiwei Temple found the key evidence, he and Yun Ji were both dead......

No, no, it's so wrong!

As we all know, Li Qi used to be a member of King Lu's Mansion and a close confidant of King Lu Li Xian. He is now the governor of Yongju and has jurisdiction over important areas in Gyeonggi, which is very important to sit firmly in the country. The mastermind behind the murder of him must not want King Lu to gain power.

"Li Yu—"

Li Zhi, who was lying on the couch, suddenly spoke, "I heard that you have inherited the mantle of the British Duke since you were a child, and your grandfather is also a generation of famous doctors. In your opinion, which is more serious, my condition or Hong'er? ”

I didn't expect to be asked like this, Li Yu didn't know how to answer for a while. Regarding His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's illness, he did have his own diagnosis, but he could not say it in front of His Majesty.

After running to the medicine king's house, Su Xiaozhou naturally knew that the prince had already shown symptoms of coughing up blood, which was much worse than in previous years. But His Majesty's wind illness is not light, and he is old, depending on his performance...... It's hard to say who is sicker.

If the crown prince goes first, Li Xian, the famous king of Lu, is the best candidate for the new crown prince; But if His Majesty goes first, he will be the crown prince's biggest threat to the throne.

Taizong won the country by himself, and from the generation of his sons, the princes have a lot of strength in their hearts. In any case, His Royal Highness King Lu can replace the crown prince. Therefore, the prince had full motives to kill Li Qi, not to mention that the person who bought the murderer was also confirmed to be from the East Palace.

……

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" Li Yu wanted to speak and stopped.

Glancing at him, Su Xiaozhou spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and will not do such a reluctant. He is as kind to his ministers as a mountain, although death cannot repay him. It was the minister who was reckless, and he didn't want anyone to blame the East Palace, so that His Royal Highness was seriously ill and worried. That's why he tricked Li Yu into helping, killed Xu Sheren and his concubine, and asked Your Majesty to punish him! ”

Unexpectedly, she actually admitted it, and in a hurry, Li Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the mastermind!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recreated the minister's kindness, and the minister diagnosed and treated him, and His Royal Highness's body ...... I can't afford to be stigmatized. ”

Thirteen years ago, when his mother died, when he was scolded by his elders and beaten and humiliated by his brothers, thinking that he was abandoned by the world, it was the prince who took him out of the water. If needed, he could not hesitate to die for the crown prince.

His Majesty personally interrogated the prince, and the intention was naturally on the prince. It doesn't matter what the truth is, it's what he thinks. If he is determined to help King Lu ascend to the throne and take the initiative to bear the charges, it is the only way they can protect the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, both of them admitted it, and they both said that they were the masterminds.

Looking at the handsome eyebrows, similar to his brother's nephew, Li Bi frowned, and said seriously: "Thorn Yan, your grandfather, the British Gong, nicknamed 'Zhenwu' - Yu: Loyalty, restraint and chaos." No matter which prince will inherit the throne in the future, as the descendant of the Duke of Zhenwu, you must be loyal and assisted! ”

The implication is that the crown prince has been abandoned.

On the couch, His Majesty's voice came.

"The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and all nations are coming. Our dynasty has close contacts with Tibet, the countries of the Western Regions, and even Nanzhao and Silla, and Honglu Temple will make great achievements. Wen Chongxuan, the former fourth-grade Shaoqing, died today. Li Yu, as long as you stand by my side, that position is yours. ”

Wen Chongxuan is also dead......

Su Xiaozhou was shocked, I'm afraid things are not so simple.

"Break off the marriage contract with the Su family, mention your grandfather's 'Red Heart Knife', and as a descendant of Zhenwu Gong, do what you have to do!" Li Bi said excitedly.

Although the children and grandchildren of the British public are all closely related to the clan, they have been arranged to the central and local hubs for several years, and they have not been able to find a single one who has become angry. What the precarious Li Tang Dynasty needed was not supporters, but "Zhenwu" people who could protect the crown prince and the future new monarch.

Hearing his uncle's words, Li Yu understood that His Majesty was planning to run the Su family.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in good health, but the Empress Wu is in full swing. If the crown prince succeeds to the throne in the future, Li Tang Jiangshan may not be able to protect it. His Majesty is in the next risky move - to replace the crown prince, support the tougher King of Lu, Li Xian, and pull out the wings of the rear party one by one.

Su Liangsi's term of office has expired, and he has made great achievements in Jingzhou. After returning to Beijing this year, he will definitely have his place in the center of the three provinces. At this time, the Su family was dealt with for the crime of bullying the monarch, which was just right to hit the forces of the Hou Party faction.

Su Xiaozhou is not stupid, the meaning is clear.

Since there is no escape, there is no need to involve irrelevant people. originally wanted to borrow Li Yu to escape, but it seems that his luck is still a little worse.

"Okay—" she said.

"I don't want to!" Li Yu said.

Su Xiaozhou was shocked, is this guy crazy?

"Thorny, you-"

Li Bi was furious, and his gray beard trembled.

"In a word--Sun Er and Miss Su are in love with each other until death." Li Yu added.

At this point, it is no longer a trivial matter for two people to dissolve their marriage. The marriage contract between him and Su Xiaozhou by mistake has become a tool to tie together the British Mansion, the East Palace and the Hou Party. Once lifted, something big is bound to happen, and the most vulnerable of them, Donggong and the crown prince, are the most dangerous.

……

"Everyone, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." A chamberlain hurried into the temple to report.

Su Xiaozhou gasped, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace late at night, and if it was rumored out, it might be slandered by the imperial historians.

Li Yu glanced at her and nodded slightly.

At this time, only the prince can save them.
