Nianyun slept in a daze, and in a trance felt that it was not very bright outside, and it was still early, so he habitually leaned on the outside of the couch, but felt empty. If she remembers correctly, Chun Jin'er should be a day off, and he will get up?

She heard the sound of rustling, so she opened her eyes, Li Chun was still by the bedside, and was being served by Yuzhu and Chonglou and dressed, but he was wearing court clothes.

She simply sat up: "Do you want to enter the palace today?" ”

Chun nodded: "The Holy Lord summoned His Highness into the palace, and I will accompany him." ”

Nian Yun was a little drowsy and suddenly woke up. With the prince's temperament of only caring about making pasty in everything, he is summoned by the saint, and he must be able to deal with it calmly, why should he be asked to go with him?

Li Chun fastened her clothes, and saw a trace of surprise on her face, and she didn't hide it from her, and said lightly: "It's something wrong with the sixth prince." ”

The sixth prince is Li Yuan, who was succeeded to the saint as the prince, and he has been with the saint all these times, but I don't know what happened.

Nian Yun knew that he couldn't ask anything at this time, so he simply didn't ask.

Li Chun pulled out his legs and walked out: "I'll go first." ”

Nian Yun said behind him: "Don't use some snacks first......"

The second half of the sentence swirled in his throat and swallowed it back, because Li Chun had already strode out of the dormitory and went out the door.

At this time, the crown prince and Li Chun were hurrying to Daming Palace. Li Chun was originally used to riding horses by himself, but now he sat in the spacious carriage with the crown prince.

When I sent the news to Li Chun yesterday, I didn't say it carefully, I only said that there were some important things on the side of the six princes, and I didn't have time to talk about it in detail until now.

Speaking of which, this incident is also very coincidental, the reason is that the patrol house took down a small thief in Huaiyuanfang near the West Market, and that guy specializes in stealing chickens and dogs in the West Market. After being caught, he was brought to the Yamen for torture to extract a confession, but he didn't expect to be involved in an earth-shattering event.

A few days before the thief confessed, he and two other thieves stole some good things in Yongjiafang, but because they were too valuable, they didn't dare to make a move for a while, and they are still at home.

When the stolen goods were presented to the front of the hall, the court chief of the case, Yin Yin, couldn't help but feel a stir all over his body, in addition to a few cups and jade rings with the emblem of the East Palace, there was also a bright dragon robe!

Yin Yuan of Nafu was still suspicious that it was just a costume for singing, but when he took it over and looked closely, it turned out to be a genuine dragon robe, packed in a box carved from rosewood, and there was a small red gold lock on the outside.

At that moment, the thief was called to identify the scene of the crime, which was the mansion of the sixth prince Li Xian in Yongjiafang.

It is not surprising that there is something with the emblem of the East Palace, after all, the second son of the East Palace, who was the former identity of the six princes, although he left the mansion early, it is not surprising that he has a few things about the East Palace.

But that dragon robe is not a trivial matter, and the prince prepares the dragon robe without authorization, which is a big crime of rebellion. Fu Yin didn't dare to make an assertion, so he hurriedly sealed the file and handed it over to the Yushitai.

When Li Yu knew about this, he had already handed it to the Holy Lord.

Growing up together since childhood, Chun certainly knows that his second brother has always been gentle and elegant, and he is a son who only reads sage books, how can he have such great ambitions?

Not to mention that Yuan'er never competed with him for the status of the prince when he was in the East Palace, even now that he is a prince, he is also a self-servant, and he has never put a prince's score on him, his "nephew", so the saint also likes him very much.

Li Chun groaned and asked, "Father, have you asked the six princes?" ”

Although the mansion of the six princes is likely to have been under martial law at this moment, after all, there is no conviction, and it is not difficult for Li Yu, as the crown prince, to ask someone to ask a few words in private.

Li Yu said slowly: "Yuan'er himself doesn't believe in the dragon robe, as if he doesn't know that there is such a thing at all. ”

Is this strange, what was stolen from his house, and he himself did not know?

Li Chun's pupils shrank, and he squinted his eyes and stared at a small pattern in the carriage, as if he wanted to see something from the gap in the carving, and said for a long time: "In this way, I'm afraid that someone has been planning for a long time." I just don't know, is their target the Six Princes, or our East Palace? ”

If Yuan'er didn't know about this dragon robe at all, then it was very likely that this dragon robe was sent into his mansion by someone in the name of giving a gift.

There are many exchanges between these people, and it is not likely that they will personally inspect every gift that is sent, but they are just registered, thrown into the treasury, and waiting for the next time they need to give gifts to others, and then order someone to repackage and give it away.

But when you receive something, at least the housekeeper or the servant who is waiting for you should check and check the receipts. Even if this level is passed, there is no guarantee that one day this thing will be taken and given to someone else.

can not only prevent Yuan'er from discovering things in advance, but also be able to see the right time and make things big in his hands, then it means that the people around Yuan'er should have been bought, and that thing was only recently sent to the Six Princes' Mansion.

At this time, I'm afraid that even if I start to investigate, I won't be able to find anything. The list of gifts must have been destroyed a long time ago, and then as soon as the ghost was disposed of, there was no proof of death.

Li Yu closed his eyes slightly: "The foundation of the six princes is unstable, although they are favored by the saints, they don't have much real power, and they can't really see it." ”

Now in addition to the East Palace, only King Shu can fight against the court. As everyone knows, the relationship between the six princes and the East Palace is extraordinary, and the six princes themselves are not capable of sitting on the big side, so they naturally stand on the side of the East Palace. Even if he doesn't have real power in his hands, he can accompany the saint every day and be praised by the saint from time to time, which is really not a good thing for King Shu's side.

Moreover, now that Li Yu's birthday is only more than two months away, the six princes put a dragon robe in a rosewood gift box so carefully, it is inevitable that some people will not have ulterior motives to mention the saint.

Especially when the six princes themselves can't tell the ins and outs of this dragon robe, it makes people think that he is deliberately protecting someone.

And this matter, on the surface, seems to be an oolong farce at all, and it has no substantive effect. However, there is nothing better than planting a seed of doubt in the heart of the saint, after all, Li Yu has been the crown prince for twenty years, which is indeed a little too long, so long that the saint himself feels that he can't wait.

It turned out that he didn't understand.

Li Chun's eyes suddenly shot out some kind of sharp light, like an eagle falcon, and fell on his father, "Since my father is very clear, then today we go to face the saint, but are we going to ask for sin?" ”

Ren is Li Yu closed his eyes, and he could feel his gaze scraping on his body like a blade, and that tone with a little sarcasm. He couldn't help but ask: "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”

Li Chun was silent for a moment, and sneered: "Didn't my father already decide when he agreed to let him be the sixth prince, but now that the time has come, he suddenly regrets it?" ”

There was a chilling atmosphere spreading throughout the carriage, which made Li Yu shiver unconsciously. He opened his eyes and looked at his son, and suddenly realized that at some point, his eyes had begun to be full of ambition and ruthlessness, and he was no longer the child who used to run and chase the foal with a small bow and arrows, but now he held in his hand a weapon that might really kill people.

Yes, when he asked Yuan'er to be the sixth prince, he had already figured out that Yuan'er would be an outcast of the East Palace, and when necessary, he would take it out as a shield or a sharp blade.

It's just that he refuses to admit that now is the time, he finally remembers that Yuan'er is his biological son, and his mother is the concubine he once loved very much but died young.

After all, as soon as the sword is unsheathed, it must see blood, and there is no possibility of recovering it from the good end.

Li Yu was a little confused. The eldest son in front of him used to play with his second brother and grew up together, until he got married, and Yuan'er was not too young, so he bought another mansion for him, and the two brothers separated. Are such friendly brothers beginning to be so ruthless in a blink of an eye?

Li Chun seemed to see what he was thinking, and snorted coldly, "If he is not the sixth prince, he is still my dearest second brother." Would Your Highness want us all to die together in harmony and generosity? If I had chosen to sacrifice in the first place, I would not hesitate to fulfill my father and brother and the entire East Palace today! ”

Li Yu leaned back and closed his eyes again, as if his few words had exhausted his life's strength. Liang Jiufang spit out a sentence: "In this case, just do what Chun said, and you can arrange it yourself." ”

The East Palace was already in the imperial city, and they came out of Yanxi Gate and walked along the wide avenue, and they had arrived in front of Danfeng Gate, the main gate of Daming Palace, in a short time.

Li Chun helped the prince get down from the carriage, and looked up at the towering Daming Palace, where the nine-fold cornices were stacked to show the best weather of the heavenly family. At this moment, Daming Palace is facing the brilliant morning sun, bathed in a peaceful morning light.

But he understood that this tranquility was only a façade. Born in this splendid imperial city and under the palace walls, there are only two destinies. Or, stand up with the white bones and flesh and go to the highest position; Or, become a part of the white bones and flesh and let others step on it.

How can you worry that those broken flesh and blood will stain the hem of your clothes, and how can you have time to think about whether those dry bones of Bai Sensen belong to your loved ones?

One day, he will take the step in a grand manner, swaggering into the Hanyuan Palace, into the Xuanzheng Palace, into the Zichen Palace, and no longer this humble and respectful posture.

One day, he will pay a heavy price for those who forced him to sacrifice his loved ones and had blood on his hands.

Li Chun sighed lightly in his heart, stepped on the white marble hall stone in front of Hanyuan Palace, and walked towards the Zichen Hall of the Holy Dynasty.
