As distressed as Li Yu was Li Nian, the king of Chenliu, who sat in the water pavilion of the palace, staring vacantly at the frozen pond under the water pavilion.

It was already a cold day, and there were only a few dead branches and dead leaves left in the lotus pond, and there were not even koi fish swimming in the past under the ice floe, and there was a dead silence.

The windows of the water pavilion were wide open, and the howling north wind was blowing with a biting chill, but Li Nian was motionless, like a statue.

This time he worked hard for a long time to waste, after coming to Chang'an, he took a lot of effort to put on a corporal Lixian, a friendly and close posture, and made friends with the ministers of the court, under the pressure of the queen of heaven, he finally had his own strategist wings, but this time he was cut off.

No one wants to risk being implicated to come to Chenliu Wangfu again, and no one wants to admit that it is his person.

It's just that this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the saint has become suspicious of him, and he no longer even believes in him, really believes that he is in a party with the Han clan, and he has lost his only support.

Now that he is grounded in the palace, he can't even enter the palace, what else can he do to save himself, probably he can only wait here for the edict to send him to Chen Liu.

The attendant waiting in the water pavilion looked at Li Nian's appearance and was very uneasy: "Your Highness, it's too windy and cold here, so it's better to go back to the courtyard." ”

Li Nian didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go get the wine." ”

The entourage was full of embarrassment: "It's cold, if you eat cold wine, you will hurt your body." ”

Li Nian raised his head suddenly, and his delicate face was gloomy: "Let you go, you will go!" ”

The entourage had to agree, and was about to go down, but heard a servant outside the Water Pavilion hurriedly report: "Your Highness, the seventh prince of the Cui family has returned to the house and asked to see His Highness." ”

As if seeing a piece of driftwood in the torrent, Li Nian's eyes suddenly gave birth to hope, and he commanded one after another: "Quick, quickly invite Qilang to come over, no, I'll go to the study to see him." ”

Strode into the study, and saw Cui Yi, who was wearing a brocade robe and playing with his paperweight, smiled and saluted him when he came: "Your Highness." ”

Li Nian didn't care about being polite to him, so he stepped forward and helped him up: "Qilang, you're back, and now you're ......."

He shook his head as he spoke, and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid you and Gorou blame me." ”

Cui Yi looked at him, but his heart was full of sighs, sure enough, the fifth brother was right, he said that if he returned to the palace, His Royal Highness would inevitably be anxious, and he would not shy away from what he had done, and there would be no objection to their words.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, the current situation is already clear to the fifth brother and I, these days I am thinking of helping His Highness deal with the current predicament."

Li Nian was overjoyed, invited Cui Yi to sit down on the couch, and ordered someone to serve wine and food, and then asked, "Is there a way?" I'm really at a loss these days, and I don't even have the slightest idea, and this situation is really dangerous. ”

He originally thought that there was no paper agreement between him and the Han family, but it was just an idea, even if something really happened to the Han family, it couldn't involve him, but he didn't expect Han Yan to be so confused that he wrote a secret letter to himself, and was taken right by the saint's prison guard.

However, after thinking about it, he finally felt that Han and Han Yan were not such stupid people, it seemed that someone still made a move to set up this game, as for the person behind the scenes, needless to say, it could only be the woman in the Manna Palace.

Cui Yi looked at him and nodded: "The fifth brother has also put a lot of thought into it, and finally has a way to help His Highness break through the difficulties." ”

Li Nian couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly said: "Qilang, please say, I will definitely obey my words." ”

In the next few days, there was a turmoil in the court, many courtiers played the role of Li Nian, the king of Chen Liu, who formed a party for personal gain, and bent the law for bribes, and there were ginseng who was so happy with his achievements, and he was mediocre and neglectful of errands, and even more ginseng He connived at the people of the palace to do evil and nonsense, and it was clearly written on the chapter that the servants of the palace of Chen Liuwang robbed the lady of the common people's house, and the king of Chen Liuwang knew about this but also wantonly covered it up, and begged the saint to punish him severely.

The snowflake-like piece was sent to the Taiji Palace, and King Chen Liuwang also became the target of public criticism, as if the Han family was exiled and distributed, and the next one to fall should be King Chen Liu.

The sage endured the pain of the wind, flipped through a few books, and angrily swept all those pieces to the ground, and said fiercely: "They are called forming a party for personal gain, and they are obviously premeditated, and they want to participate in King Chen Liuwang through the affairs of the Han family." ”

"King Chen Liuwang has fallen, who should be next? Me? ”

Long Yan was furious, and the people serving in the Taiji Hall knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to speak.

The saint leaned his head on the table, panting heavily.

Liu An stepped forward cautiously: "Sage, His Royal Highness King Chen Liuwang is waiting outside the palace again. ”

As he spoke, he added softly: "Your Highness knelt in the snow, and no one persuaded him to get up, saying that he was begging the saint to cure his sins." ”

The saint was so angry that he sat up again, with a blue face: "They are all forcing me one by one!" ”

Liu An was also too frightened to speak, and lowered his head and said nothing.

After a while, the sage said, "That's it, you let him enter the palace, and I will ask him!" ”

After King Chen Liuwang entered the Taiji Palace, the sage sent away a group of people who were waiting, and the father and son stayed alone in the palace to spy on them.

Liu An didn't stay, he took a few eunuchs to the side hall to wait, but let the palace maids who served in front of the palace stay outside the door, and told them to report immediately if the saint called him.

Although the side hall is not as good as the main hall burned the earth dragon, there are also several pots of charcoal basins, all of which are silver wire charcoal, which are burned vigorously and warm.

Several eunuchs diligently gave Liu An tea soup and fruit snacks, and served them considerately, and they all knew that this eunuch in front of them was the most trusted personal service of the saint, if he could value it, he would be able to rise to prominence in this palace.

It's just that Liu An frowned tightly, pulled the charcoal fire with a copper pick, and showed hesitation on his face, and after a while, he called a little eunuch to come and whispered a few words in his ear.

The little eunuch was stunned, and hurriedly retreated, but quietly walked out of the hall from the side door of the Taiji Palace, passed through the corridor of several palaces, and went to the Ganlu Palace.

The queen of heaven listened to Xiao Eun's words, a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and soon smiled and nodded to him: "You go, tell Liu An, he has a heart." ”

Xiao Eun's heart was light, and he hurriedly bowed and retreated, but he knew in his heart that Liu An risked being discovered by the saint, and he also wanted him to come and pass the word to the queen of heaven, in order to sell it to the queen of heaven and let her know that she had the heart to be loyal to the queen of heaven.

It's just that Liu An has been in the palace for decades, and he is already a human spirit, so he works so hard to please the queen, could it be that he smells something?

Xiao Eun's heart tightened, and he thought about it smartly, and made up his mind that he would still want to come to the Ganlu Hall more often in the future.
