Chapter 103: The Struggle for the Throne (23)

Seeing this, Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Ji, took out a brocade to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was about to open his mouth to summon someone to pass on the imperial doctor, but Xiao Ji stopped him.

"Your Majesty, let's let the Imperial Doctor take a look."

"Lonely's body is clear in his heart, and it is not in the way", Xiao Ji said and glanced at Manager Li, deliberately pushed him away, and sat back on the edge of the dragon couch.

"Say, When did you know about it"?

"The slave only found out last night", Manager Li raised his eyes and glanced at Xiaoji, and continued: "It was the slave who accidentally happened to bump into him, and General Zhong escaped on the spot... After that, Taishi Zhong asked to see him many times, but the slave didn't dare to see him...".

Xiao Ji didn't listen to Mr. Li's words, so he stood up again in shock and reprimanded: "What... Then why are you reporting now?"

"It's the minion's fault, the minions are confused, and they just think that after all, the minions have no real evidence for this matter."

"What else do you need to be substantiated, you broke it on the spot", Xiao Ji roared angrily.

"Quick, quickly notify Lan Jia to come to see Lonely."

"Yes...", when Manager Li saw that Xiao Ji was going to summon Lan Jia, he thought that this matter was far beyond his expectations, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Yifu to invite Lan Jia.

Soon, Lan Jia arrived, and Xiao Ji ordered Lan Jia to mobilize Xiao Wei to come to Qiongyuan, and at the same time gave him a holy edict to immediately go to the nearest battalion to transfer troops, just in case.

Manager Li listened to it with nervousness and sweat on his back, he never expected the situation to be so serious.

After Lan Jia left, Manager Li obviously felt Xiao Ji's eyes, and he was looking at himself at this time, trembling with fright.

"You ask people to pass on the master who knows it, and you say that you ask him to solve your doubts."

"Yes...", Manager Li didn't know how he got out, and several apprentices were waiting outside the door at this time.

When Manager Li saw Wufu for the first time, he wanted to pounce on him and strangle him, but finally held back, and first arranged for Erfu to invite Master Ran over.

Manager Li arranged for everyone else, but only Wufu remained.

"Wufu, how does the master usually treat you, how can you harm me."

"Master, I'm sorry...", Wufu knelt down with a puff.

"Okay, now that you're in the field, can you tell me who made you do this?"

Wufu just shook his head desperately, but he refused to say.

"Wufu, if you insist on refusing to say it, then you can only prepare longevity materials for the master."

When Wufu heard this, he began to cry, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Master, I can't say, but I can take you to see him."

Manager Li shook his head helplessly, thinking that he was afraid that he might not have the life to see him now.

Sanfu came in and leaned into the ear of Manager Li and said, "Master, dozens of assassins appeared in Yunqiongyuan yesterday, but the strange thing is that the people in Yunqiongyuan are safe and sound, but the assassins are all dead."

"What...", Manager Li was even more shocked when he heard this, which means that after he refused to see Taishi Zhong last night, he started to move, this is to kill people and kill people, why are you so confused, no wonder Your Majesty will ask Lan Weichang to transfer troops as soon as possible. At the same time, Manager Li was wondering who prevented the assassins from killing people and destroying their mouths, who in this Qiongyuan had such great ability.

"Let's go...", Manager Li followed Sanfu and rushed to Yunqiongyuan to see what was going on.

When Mr. Li arrived at the slaves and maids of Yunqiongyuan, they spoke almost similarly, only saying that a black shadow flashed, showing their swords, which scared people to death, and they were about to shout, but they were knocked unconscious.

When Mr. Li saw Concubine Li again, he felt that it had been three autumns, he was haggard without makeup, his eyes were blank, his eyes were red and swollen, and he just hugged Xiao Sui and smirked.

Mr. Li wanted to ask some of the situation last night from Concubine Li's mouth, but it was as he wished, and he didn't know what he wanted, so he had no choice but to leave, but he saw Concubine Li kneeling on the ground with a puff, and kept kowtowing, and for a while he knocked out blood and said: "Manager Li, I know that I have made a big mistake, I deserve it, and it is not a pity to die, but the child is innocent, please think of a way to save him."

Manager Li was a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I am also weak."

"Manager Li, Sui'er, he may also be His Majesty's flesh and blood!"

"What"? Mr. Li was a little confused.

"Manager Li, I did have an affair with General Zhong, but at that time I also served His Majesty, so I am not sure whose flesh and blood Sui'er is, last night the situation broke out, I didn't have time to think about it, so I said that Sui'er is General Zhong's blood and bones, and asked Manager Li to investigate carefully."

Manager Li was even more confused when he heard this, and he didn't know if he should believe Concubine Li's words, even if he believed it, would His Majesty believe it.

"Concubine Li, I'm afraid this matter is not something that you and I can convince Your Majesty."

"I know, I know...", Concubine Li lay on the ground and cried even more sadly, the eleventh prince Xiao Sui watched from the side, at a loss, but he could also vaguely know the meaning of some adults' conversations, the emaciated figure was so weak, he could only let the tears slip down, and complained silently.

Manager Li looked at their mother and son, a little moved, thinking that the person behind him didn't know what his intentions were, but he could save them last night, hoping that it might be possible to save them.

After the fifth prince Xiaocan heard about it early in the morning, he asked his subordinates to carry him to Yunqiongyuan early in the morning to see Concubine Li, and when he saw that Manager Li was here, he said: "Manager Li, but your father asked you to come to visit, it just so happens that I want my father, this matter must be investigated, who is so bold and dares to assassinate", he said, with an angry face.

"Mother, what the hell is wrong with you, do you know who is going to assassinate you"? Xiao Can felt uncomfortable looking at Concubine Li like this, and wondered who did such a despicable and cruel thing while asking.

Concubine Li didn't dare to tell Xiao Can the truth, nor did she dare to tell him the truth, firstly, she didn't want him to be involved, and secondly, this was her only hope now.

Seeing that Xiao Can's posture was really going to see Xiao Can, Manager Li knew that it was better not to see him at this time, otherwise it would only make matters worse, and maybe it would affect him, so he stopped and said: "Recently, Your Majesty's state affairs have been heavy, and the assassination has been investigated with all his might, and the five princes should go back to recuperate and recuperate, so don't worry about the affairs here."

"How's that going to work"? Xiao Can is obviously serious.

"Can'er, listen to Mr. Li", Concubine Li looked at Mr. Li and smiled slightly, and understood his intentions.

"But...".

"Can'er, you don't listen to your mother's words", Concubine Li's tone was tougher.

Xiao Can had no choice but to compromise, but in his heart he was thinking that this matter was definitely not simple, and it was really strange for the mother to look like this.

"Mother concubine, let's send the imperial doctor to show you first, and the eleventh imperial brother, they are all scared stupid", Xiao Can looked at Xiao Sui and said.

"No need...", Concubine Li pulled Xiao Sui over and hugged Xiao Sui into her arms.

"How can you not use it"? Xiao Can said and said to the eunuch beside him: "You go and ask the imperial doctor to come over and heal my mother."

"Yes...", the little eunuch replied.

"If nothing else, I'll go back and report to Your Majesty first," said Mr. Li.

Concubine Li raised her eyes to look at Manager Li, her eyes flashed with tears and expectation, which made Manager Li a little confused.

After Mr. Li led the people away, he rushed back to the Summer Palace as soon as possible and reported the assassination to Xiaoji.

Xiao Ji heard and pondered for a while, thinking about it, is all this a bit of a coincidence, it just so happened that An Lu was released from prison and returned to his home to recuperate, so he came out one after another, it seems that there is a reason for the incident, but it is directly aimed at the Taishi Mansion, perhaps, it is not appropriate to deal with this matter, simply take this opportunity to remove the real power of the Taishi party, and at the same time test what the situation of An Lu is. However, just in case, it is still not to be taken lightly.

Manager Li caught a glimpse of a sinister smile flashing without a trace at the corner of his mouth, and he was a little puzzled for a while.

Xiao Ji made up his mind, and the most important thing at this time is to grasp the evidence.

"Li Xiang, you send someone to Gu to closely monitor Yunqiongyuan, and you go there in person, I want Concubine Li's accusation testimony and evidence, and tell her that if she cooperates, Gu will consider a light sentence."

"Yes...", Manager Li responded and prepared to retreat.

"Wait, you ask people to invite Concubine Zhong over."

"Yes...", Mr. Li retreated backwards.

After a while, Concubine Zhong came to the Summer Palace.

Concubine Zhong was restless, worried, and hesitated to go in.

"Concubine Zhong, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time", Yifu came out and urged.

Concubine Zhong stepped in and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Your Majesty, Wanfu", Concubine Zhong was so nervous that her hands were covered with sweat, and she rubbed the brocade handkerchief in her hand.

"Get up...", the owl said coldly.

"Your Majesty...", Concubine Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, she wanted to excuse her brother Zhong Sheng, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.

"Aren't you going to explain what happened last night to Lone?" Xiao Ji squinted at Concubine Zhong.

"I...", Concubine Zhong really wanted to say something, but after looking at Xiaoji's face, she didn't dare to speak.

"Tell Lonely, everything you know, if there is half a lie, you know what Lone will do with you", Xiao Ji's words revealed a cold majesty, which made people dare not believe it.

Concubine Zhong thought about it, told everything she knew, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Li's slut..., it's Concubine Li who seduced her brother, and Xiao Sui He is not my brother's flesh and blood, he is likely to be Your Majesty."

Concubine Zhong said that all this did not mean to alleviate Concubine Li's guilt at all, purely to alleviate the sins committed by her brother.

Xiao Ji heard a chuckle in his ears, Concubine Zhong's words really didn't listen to anything other than further confirming that Concubine Li and Zhong Sheng had a private affair, and they had been deceived for so long, and the crime was added to the crime.

Xiao Ji asked Concubine Zhong to be sent back, ordered to be placed under house arrest, and sent someone to guard her.

Manager Li came back with the evidence and evidence provided by Concubine Li and handed it over to Xiaoji.

Xiao Ji was furious after seeing it, and he wanted to tear up the evidence on the spot, but he still held back.

Seeing that it should be the time of the early dynasty, how can Xiaoji be in the mood now.

"Li Xiang, let's just say that Gu is not feeling well today, and he will take a three-day break from the court, and in addition, you can see if Zhong Taishi and General Zhong Datie are in the court."

Manager Li received the order and went, and came back after a while.

"How"?

"Taishi Zhong has fallen to the court, and he looks a lot older overnight, as for General Zhong, there is no one. I asked Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhong said that General Zhong was recuperating in the mansion by chance of feeling the cold."

"Oh..., send someone to keep an eye on the Taishi's Mansion for me, and in addition, when the Taishi Xuanzhong entered the palace to see him, he said that he was looking for him to discuss the candidate for the posterior."

"Yes...", Manager Li took the order and went down to make arrangements.
