Listening to Yiran's answer, Li Chengqian's face was full of sadness, and he looked down at the smile on the corner of Ju Ruanyu's mouth, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "You just went like this, he didn't die, what can you do if you die?" ”

Yiran took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Chengqian before whispering: "This is left by the crown princess, the slave forgot to give it to you just now!" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it, "Li Chengqian, the fate of you and I as husband and wife is over, I don't want to live for the forces of the two countries anymore, I don't want to live hard anymore, I don't want to sleep with someone I don't love anymore, I don't want to live by pretending to like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, now this life is given to you, I only hope that you can bury me in Xishan today, no need to erect a monument, no need to accompany the burial, so that I can look at my hometown on the top of the mountain." ”

Li Chengqian read this letter with a sad look on his face, but he was still willing to help Ju Ruanyu fulfill his last wish, sighed and looked at Yiran and said: "Ju Ruanyu's last wish is to be buried as soon as possible, and she wants to be buried on the top of Xishan, which also happens to be the imperial mausoleum, so let's see her buried next to the crown princess, and let them be accompanied by someone on Huangquan Road!" ”

Since he took the letter handed by Li Chengqian, after reading the last few sentences, he said: "Okay, all listen to the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Prince, since the crown princess wants to be buried as soon as possible, then everything should be simple." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "You go and prepare a coffin, and bury the crown princess today!" ”

Ju Ruanyu's death caused a lot of waves in the palace, and it was the same outside the palace, and now the people are rumoring that Li Chengqian forced Ju Ruanyu to death, but Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to explain.

After seeing off Ju Ruanyu, Li Chengqian took the initiative to come to Ju Yuhua's residence.

Ju Yuhua is none other than Ju Ruanyu's elder brother and the crown prince of Gao Changguo.

After coming to Ju Yuhua's house, Li Chengqian took out the letter and handed it to him with some embarrassment: "Nephrite committed suicide last night, and she said that she wanted to be buried today, so she didn't come to inform you, I hope you can understand." ”

Ju Yuhua's face didn't fluctuate much, but he sighed a little helplessly and said: "Your Highness Lao, it's just that my identity is special, and it's inconvenient to send her a ride, since it's her own decision, then I have to support her, Your Highness doesn't have to mind, Nephrite doesn't mean anything else in this letter, Your Highness will take care of herself in the future!" ”

Ju Yuhua's attitude made Li Chengqian a little confused, but he just thought that the relationship between the two was not very good, looked at Ju Yuhua and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back to the palace, and the eldest brother will take care of himself." ”

Along the way, Li Chengqian did not get into the carriage, walking on the streets of Chang'an, looking at the more and more affluent people, Li Chengqian only felt a little sighing, thinking that a few years ago, although the streets of Chang'an were also very hot, but there was never fried chicken, cold skin and other food, and there were no shops such as Hu Lilao and Yufengzhai.

All this was brought by the person named Yang Chen, when he walked past an underwear store, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered that this store seemed to be opened by Changle and Ju Ruanyu together, and now Ju Ruanyu has gone to this store, who cares?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian waved his hand at Cheng Chumo on the side and said, "You go and ask who is in charge of this store now?" ”

Cheng Chumo knew what Li Chengqian meant, and hurriedly leaned over to ask for a rough idea, and then came back and said: "This shop has long been managed by Ju Yuhua, and the princess came out before to withdraw money to buy things, and she doesn't care about things at all!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, didn't think about asking the store back, and returned to the palace silently.

When he returned to the palace, Li Chengqian was surrounded by a group of little eunuchs, only to see that their faces were blue and purple, and when they saw Li Chengqian coming, they immediately said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are back, those adults in the side hall have woken up, you hurry up and take a look!" We won't let them leave, they won't do it, it's not beating us up like this! ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly walked towards the side hall.

After coming to the side hall, Li Chengqian first listened to the voices in the courtyard.

I only heard Imperial Doctor Liu's proud voice coming, "Lao Fang, you can't do it with this body, my sister-in-law is tossing you at home!" ”

Fang Xuanling's voice also came, as if he was a little angry, and seemed to be a little anxious: "What are you talking nonsense? The old man's body is strong, if you can't cure it, don't look at it! ”

Imperial Doctor Liu listened to Fang Xuanling's words, looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Don't you know my medical skills?" The old house is shy! ”

Saying that, Imperial Doctor Liu also squeezed his eyebrows at the other officials, and the others also laughed very face-savingly.

However, the eldest grandson Wuji still had an indifferent expression, and a serious voice came over: "Where has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gone?" Why are we in the palace when we wake up, and why is it noisy all the time! ”

When the others heard Eldest Sun Wuji's words, they also hurriedly stopped laughing, nodded and said, "That's it, why did I wake up in the palace, and why didn't these eunuchs let us leave?" ”

Imperial Doctor Liu naturally refused to answer this conversation, only to see him squinting his eyes and looking around, Li Chengqian's figure hiding outside was seen by him, Imperial Doctor Liu pointed in the direction of Li Chengqian without hesitation and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, what do you ask him!" ”

The officials turned their heads with Imperial Doctor Liu's hand and looked over, Li Chengqian couldn't hide himself anymore, so he had to stand up and say: "Everyone is awake, it's good to wake up!" ”

As he spoke, he walked over to everyone, but he could only have an embarrassed smile on his face.

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already come, why do you want to hide and listen to us?" ”

Li Chengqian looked at him, then at everyone, until he walked in front of them, then he spoke again: "I just arrived, I saw that you had a good chat, so I didn't walk in directly for fear of disturbing you!" ”

Fang Xuanling was still polite, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, you might as well explain why we are in the palace!" ”

Li Chengqian saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Do you remember how you fell into a coma?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows, looked at everyone and said: "I remember that it was my son-in-law who brought me a bowl of unpleasant medicine, saying that it was a secret recipe obtained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from outside, and it can prolong life after drinking it, so I fainted after drinking this medicine, and I didn't wake up until just now!" ”

The rest of the people also nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "That's right, we also sent medicinal juice from our families, and we drank it because it was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian only felt that 10,000 cursed words had been said in his heart, but he still forced out a smile and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if I say that this medicinal juice is not your letter sent by me?" ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone present was a little confused, but Fang Xuanling was the first to speak: "Your Highness, does this mean that my Erlang used this medicine to frame me?" What was his purpose in doing this? ”

Li Chengqian saw that everyone's mood was quite stable, and hurriedly explained: "That's the case, King Wu and the people of the Jiangnan Shi clan joined forces to prepare to deal with me, so they wanted to set off public opinion in Chang'an City first, but it would be difficult to succeed if they alone, so they found the second son of your family who could not inherit the official title, and together they jointly stunned your lords, and then lied that you were sick at home!" ”

Li Chengqian paused and then said: "After that, I said in the city that I quarreled with you, and then ordered you to be locked up in the palace, or you thought I couldn't do it, so you decided not to assist me, which set off a wave of public opinion outside the palace." After that, I felt that something was wrong, so I visited you personally, but the people in your house didn't let me in, and after a few times I realized that something was wrong, and then I forcibly broke into your house and took you out! ”

After Li Chengqian's words were finished, everyone present fell silent, thinking about the credibility of Li Chengqian's words, and also thinking about whether the second son of the family would do such a thing.

It was the eldest grandson Wuji who was the first to speak: "Yan'er won't do such a thing, even if the old man goes, this title won't fall on his head, what is the purpose of his doing this?" ”

Fang Xuanling also continued: "That's right, the eldest of my family is still on duty in the Hanlin Academy, even if the old man has any accidents, this title is given to him, why can't it be the turn of the bereavement, besides, if the poisoning of the father is found out, they still want to inherit the title?" If you can't save your life, how can you inherit the title? ”

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Li Chengqian also said helplessly: "First of all, I definitely didn't send someone to your house to deliver medicine, especially poison, how could I do such a thing?" My father will come back soon, I am just supervising the country for him, and my father is in the prime of life, not to mention that I have no intention of succeeding to the throne, even if I want to succeed to the throne for decades, why should I poison all the adults? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, there is no need to provoke us during the time he is in charge of the country, and he just needs to sit on the dragon chair honestly, and let us call the shots in other matters, even if there is any mistake at that time, the emperor will not blame him." ”

Saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said: "By the way, Your Highness, you said King Wu?" Where is he now? Did he do anything after that? ”

Li Chengqian looked at everyone's concerned eyes, and said helplessly: "The night before yesterday, King Wu came to the palace with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but because I knew his movements in advance, I set up a killing array in advance, and their miscellaneous soldiers died before I attacked a few rounds, and his body was also buried in the imperial mausoleum by me!" ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the people present were shocked again, they never thought that Li Chengqian would actually kill King Wu!
