Chapter 98: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice
It seems that the joyful atmosphere of the banquet is still retained in the Qingle Hall, the red gauze tent is warm, and the air is filled with the smell of warm incense.
Wei Yuxiao's eyes swept away, and he took the situation in the hall into his eyes.
On the royal steps, Li Yaoshen's face was gloomy, and Yu Cheng was standing beside him, his face was also extremely ugly, staring at the five people kneeling under the imperial steps, with a feeling of impending wind and rain.
Of the five, three were disheveled and wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water. All of them hung their heads down, and their mouths were stuffed with cotton cloths, and they couldn't see their faces. There were also two chamberlains, whose faces were pale and trembling. And beside these five people, there are two people standing, namely the crown prince Li Fuxian and the fourth prince Li Guichen.
As for the hundred officials mentioned by Bai Rou, except for the prime minister Shi Chongchao, the imperial historian Zhou Chengshi, and the young master of Dali Temple, Dou Zhuo, no one else was present.
Seeing Wei Yuxiao, Li Fuxian's complexion changed greatly, and his calm eyes were a little more flustered.
Wei Yuxiao only glanced at him, his face did not change, and he bowed to Li Yao cautiously.
"The son visits his father."
"No courtesy."
Li Yaoshen's face was slightly gentle, and he said, "What's wrong?" ”
The attitude towards her is very different from the attitude towards these people.
"Erchen had a nightmare, and he was worried about the prince, so he couldn't help but come to find the prince."
Wei Yuxiao walked to Li Fuxian's side as he spoke, and glanced at the five people kneeling on the ground, "I just don't know what's going on?" ”
She opened her eyes and said nonsense, but Li Yaoshen didn't care. He seems to be extraordinarily tolerant of Wei Yuxiao.
"It's just a farce."
Li Yao didn't care, but his expression became more and more cold when he looked at the five people who were kneeling.
"Dou Aiqing."
"Wechen is here."
Dou Zhuo stepped out sideways and said respectfully.
"Today's business will be entrusted to you."
"We're in command."
"Prime Minister, Zhou Aiqing stays."
"Yes."
Wei Yuxiao's eyes flashed, did she catch up with the end?
Moreover, the prime minister's face was extremely ugly, as if he was ...... Of the three......
Quietly, with the help of the wide sleeves, Li Fuxian held Wei Yuxiao's hand and gave her a reassuring look. Listen to the emperor continue.
"Fourth, before the matter is clarified, stay in the mansion well, and you can't come out without an edict."
"The retainers obey."
Li Guichen's face turned black, and his teeth were about to be crushed, but he had to obey Li Yaoshen's orders.
"Prince."
"The son is here."
"After returning to Beijing for many days, you must have repaired enough. Now that Shang Shuling is temporarily vacant, you will temporarily take the position of Shang Shuling. There are many affairs, and I will take office tomorrow. ”
Shang Shu Ling, when Li Yaoshen was the prince, it was Shang Shu Ling.
"Son's command."
This rise and fall is really obvious, and Li Yaoshen seems to be really starting to show his eccentric side now. Compared with the time when he valued Li Guichen before, it was more obvious that he was biased.
Tonight is a warning and a final tolerance for him.
At the beginning, they all said that he doted on Zhao Guifei and the four princes, but in fact, he just gave everyone an ambiguous impression, and Li Yaoshen had never supported them so surely.
Whether it is true partiality or false favor, the sacred heart belongs, it is clear at a glance.
"It's late, let's go back with the crown princess."
After speaking, he frowned, looking a little tired.
In the light, Li Fuxian seemed to see a few gray hairs in his hair.
He's no longer young.
"Yes, the retainers are retired."
Li Fuxian was slightly stunned in his heart, stunned for a moment, and then said. Then he took Wei Yuxiao's hand and left the hall. I didn't even give them extra looks.
Immediately after, Li Guichen also came out of the hall with a black face.
"Stop!"
"What else does the fourth brother have to advise?"
Li Fuxian held Wei Yuxiao's hand tightly, and turned to look at Li Guichen with a peaceful look.
"Heh, I didn't see it before, the prince is so hidden, I really underestimate you."
Li Guichen sneered and said sarcastically.
"Don't dare to be."
Li Fuxian's face did not change, and said: "Lone is just a reckless man in the army, where can he compare to the fourth brother's delicate mind." ”
"Today is your luck, next time, I don't know if you still have such good luck."
Li Guichen is confident, even conceited. The competition between him and Li Fuxian is now on the surface, and this is not a ruthless remark, but a formal declaration of war. It was also from this time that he saw Li Fuxian as a competitor on an equal footing with him.
Even if Li Fuxian is now the crown prince, he is just a prince, even if he has ascended the throne, there will be a day when the dynasty will change.
"Oh, let's wait and see."
Li Fuxian didn't know that this was Li Guichen's official declaration of war, and what Li Guichen wanted to do, he followed. Moreover, Li Guichen has done everything he has done, and he remembers it all by one.
"I advise you, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself."
"Hmph."
Li Guichen didn't care, sneered twice, turned around and left the place, and disappeared behind the palace wall.
"Go back to the palace."
Li Fuxian and Wei Yuxiao rode the royal palace to the East Palace.
It was already late in the night, and it was completely cool.
Wei Yuxiao came out in a hurry, without a cloak, and when the temperature dropped at the moment, he couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed a few lowly.
Li Fuxian frowned slightly, untied his shirt, put it on Wei Yuxiao's body, and held the person in his arms.
"Better?"
"Hmm."
Wei Yuxiao replied in a low voice.
"Worries you."
There was no danger tonight, and she showed up at just the right time.
"What the hell is going on?"
Wei Yuxiao believed him, so when Bai Rou told her, she knew that Li Fuxian was calculated, so she hurried to Qingle Palace.
There is no secret between them, Li Fuxian cut down the complexity and simplified it, and told her what happened tonight.
"After you left, someone poured it into my wine. I'm going to do what I do, pretending to be drugged. Then one of the attendants helped me to the Qiongrong Palace. The strange thing is that there is nothing unusual in the Qiongrong Palace. ”
Li Fuxian held her hand, his palms were a little hot, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and he whispered in his ear: "Then two women suddenly came." ”
"Little Peach and Wei Yuyan?"
Li Fuxian's breath was spraying on her ears, Wei Yuxiao's ears turned red when she brushed them, she felt that her ears were a little itchy, and she couldn't help but touch them.
"Well, that's them."
Li Fuxian laughed lowly, with a gentle and lingering expression, and pulled up the hair on the side of her ear for her.
"But one of them is fake."
"Wei Yuyan."
Almost without any hesitation, Wei Yuxiao said.
"So sure?"
Li Fuxian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why her?" ”
"She wouldn't kill herself and do such a brainless thing."
can kill Wei Yufei without blinking his eyes, stepping on them on the upper position, Wei Yuyan is definitely not so weak and harmless as he looks.
She is a smart person, and Li Guichen will not be so stupid, it is very likely that today's incident was not caused by Li Guichen.
"Yes, she was impersonated."
Li Fuxian continued: "Today's incident was done by Zhao Ruxue, Wei Yuyan sensed that something was wrong and ran away. Zhao Ruxue couldn't, so she had to find someone to replace her, anyway, all she wanted was Wei Yuyan's identity. ”
"What about the real Wei Yuyan?"
It's similar to what she expected, but she doesn't know where Wei Yuyan went.
"I don't know."
Li Fuxian shook his head and said with a smile: "But after today, her identity will be useless, and there will be no more Wei Yuyan in the world." ”
This incident is indeed an opportunity for Wei Yuyan, since "Wei Yuyan" no longer exists, then, she will not have any constraints, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.
Leaving this deep water, leaving the center of the whirlpool, is not necessarily a bad thing.
"What happened when they came in?"
"They have spices on them, the spices that were originally put in the Qiongrong Hall are non-toxic, and the spices they carry are also non-toxic, but when the two are combined, they become strong medicines."
It goes without saying what kind of medicine it is.
"And after that?"
Wei Yuxiao's hands tightened, and his heart was raised, although he was safe now, it must have been very dangerous at that time.
Li Fuxian patted her hand soothingly, and said, "Just as I was about to make a move, another person came in. ”
"Shi Ye."
"That's him."
Li Fuxian's lips were smiling, but his eyes were full of coldness. How could he not be prepared to calculate him?
Shi Ye is the son of Shi Chongchao, and he also has a deep friendship with Li Guichen. It was originally something that fell on Li Guichen, but it was blocked by Shi Ye, so the person who came became him.
Therefore the men who were in the temple became the three of them. When Li Guichen and Shi Chongchao led hundreds of officials to open the door, what they saw was Shi Ye. ”
"We've just returned to the Qingle Hall when you've arrived."
"From the time it happened to the end, it wasn't long. When I got the news, I was too fast, as if someone had an unpredictable prophet, and I was ready early. ”
Wei Yuxiao's eyes froze, and his face was not very good-looking.
The East Palace is not an iron bucket, it has always had the stakes of various forces. In order to catch the traitors before, Wei Yuxiao never took care of them. The traitors have been caught, and they can't be kept anymore.
Just take this time to clean up.
"The only thing that can do this tonight is Fangrong Palace."
Tonight's incident was made by Zhao Ruxue, so she knew it was her with her toes.
This time, Li Guichen was miserable by Zhao Ruxue.
Li Ruxue's purpose is simple, the first is to destroy Li Fuxian's reputation, if Li Fuxian is really Chinese medicine, and those two women are caught, the position of prince will come to an end. Second, Wei Yuxiao knows the news, once there is a trace of distrust of Li Fuxian, and her psychological endurance is not good, then there must be a gap with Li Fuxian, and if it is serious, she will be hit hard, and it is possible that she will lose her pregnancy.
As long as these two points are achieved, Li Fuxian has nothing to worry about at all.
Zhao Ruxue played well and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but she was too ambitious, and she didn't achieve any goal.
In this plan, one wrong step will lose the whole game.
Obviously, Zhao Ruxue lost, and she lost in a mess, not only did she suffer this time, but also Li Guichen.
