Chapter 137: Conspiracy
It's almost the big day of the calendar.
The emperor attaches great importance to Liche's marriage, and he asked the people of Neku to prepare well. The last time the royal family held a happy event was probably seven years ago, and it was for the eldest prince Li Chongsui to marry.
The second prince and the third prince have not officially married, but now they are being taken by this younger brother.
Li Yanjing didn't care, he had no intention of other women, and now that Ling Chuyu had become a princess of prayer, he had no mind and could only watch silently like this.
On the contrary, King Yu was unhappy, since the two people in Shucheng were executed, the emperor found an excuse for him to think about it behind closed doors in the palace, and from then on, the emperor never saw him again.
Even if Concubine Zhang went, the emperor always pushed back and didn't want to see each other.
King Yu probably knew in his heart that the emperor already knew what he was doing behind his back, but he didn't know why the emperor didn't execute him.
King Yu saw that now the emperor was taking relatives for Li Che again, and he often went to the queen, and he felt that he was about to lose the emperor's favor now
This bodes badly for him.
When King Yu came to Concubine Zhang's palace, he was also sullen.
Concubine Zhang was anxious when she saw it.
"Rongxing, what's wrong with you lately, why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Concubine Zhang looked at King Yu's brows, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Mother, you see that the emperor has taken a fancy to King Cheng a lot recently, shouldn't we do something?"
King Yu came to the spirit, he now wants the emperor to hate Liche and see him Liche unlucky.
"The mother concubine also knows, but what happened to you just now, even if the emperor doesn't know, you have to be careful, don't go too far, and be careful to make the emperor angry. ”
How could Concubine Zhang not be worried? Since the last time, the emperor has not pampered herself as much as before, and even her mother's family has been neglected for a long time.
"Mother, you can think of a way to tell your grandfather to worry more about his sons. ”
"The mother knows, knows. Your grandfather also knows that he is not running around for you?" Concubine Zhang was helpless, her son was just too eager.
"Alright, you can go back to the house. I'll go see the emperor. ”
Concubine Zhang thought that the emperor had just woken up from a nap, and it was time for her to go and wait.
When King Yu saw that Concubine Zhang promised to find An Dinghou to help him, he thought that he couldn't be idle, he had to find something to do.
Coincidentally, Li Che came out of the queen's palace and met King Yu.
"Second Emperor Brother. ”
Li Che respectfully saluted King Yu.
Although King Yu doesn't like him, he is respectful, and he has to act like a person.
"Well, where did King Cheng come from?"
"Ah, I just went to see my mother, and she has something to explain. "Li Che didn't come to see the queen at all.
"Well, you're getting married soon, are you all ready?"
Yuwang asked him as if he was concerned.
"Thank you Brother Sanhuang for your concern, everything is handled by the Queen Mother, and I don't want to bother with anything. ”
"Really, the queen is in charge, and there must be no problem. I didn't expect that there were three of us brothers, but you were the highest to marry a concubine. Father is very interested in you.
Yuwang said sour words.
"My father also loves my second brother the same. ”
Li Che kept looking to the side, as if there was something urgent. But King Yu kept talking, and he was a little impatient on his face.
Yuwang was a smart man, and he could see his impatience, so he didn't want to be bored, so he took the initiative to leave.
Seeing King Yu leaving, Li Che looked around again and found that there was no one, so he walked to the garden.
"Why are you here?"
A woman's voice came, and Li Che looked at it, making sure it was her.
"Emi people. ”
This Miss Keiko is the Dongyi woman that the emperor has taken a fancy to, although she has been in the palace for a long time, and the emperor also loves her, but because of her identity, she is just a beauty.
Wenqi Keiko has been in Beijing for half a year, and she is becoming more and more like a woman from Tianxu Kingdom.
"What's going on, why do you want to make an appointment in the palace, you know that there are many people here, and it's not a place to meet. Li Che was a little unhappy.
Emi people are also looking around. She naturally knew that it was a big crime for the concubine to meet the prince in private, and her mission had not been completed, so she couldn't make a mistake.
"Of course it's a big thing, it's not a big thing, how can I come. ”
"Don't say it quickly, my father is about to wake up, be careful to be seen. ”
"It's like someone is knowing, someone is investigating. ”
"What, who's investigating, what did he find?"
Li Che was shocked, selling illicit salt is a capital crime, if it is known, he, the prince, will not do it.
"I don't know yet, our people only found someone investigating, and that person is also afraid of being discovered by us, so he hasn't taken any action recently. ”
Wen Qi Keiko told Li Che one by one about the reports from the people below.
"That's good, it may be a mistake, not necessarily aimed at us, but the people below must pay attention. There must be no problem with this, and if anyone finds out, you know I won't admit it. ”
Li Che had long conspired with Ke Chu, and the two of them discussed to take the salt industry together, and the benefits they sought from it were divided equally when the time came.
But Ke Chu's identity is too obvious, he can't come forward to handle these things personally, these things are all handled by Li Che secretly. He is a prince, and it is more convenient to do anything.
If he has any questions, he always contacts Emi people.
Their careers have just started, and when such a thing happens, it seems that they are still too careless.
"No, Prince Kechu can't continue to stay in Shangjing, now that the matter of peace has been resolved, if he continues to stay, it will be too eye-catching. ”
Li Che didn't understand how they were targeted, and thinking about it, it should be Kechu's problem.
The prince also thought so, he said that after attending the wedding of the king, he would write to the emperor and ask to take the lord of Yunxia back to Dongyi to complete the marriage. ”
"Well, it's okay, go back early and rest assured early. Tell him to prepare everything on the Dongyi side, and wait for the salt here to come out, and we can make money. ”
Li Che felt happy, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver.
"Well, I will definitely tell His Royal Highness the Prince. Your Highness, I am inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so I take my leave. ”
"Well, be careful. ”
After Li Che returned, he asked people to prepare immediately, and made all this more secretive.
And Ling Chuyu never thought that it was she who helped Li Che, she never knew that Li Che was so ambitious. She didn't know that he was so shameless, and even dared to betray his own country for personal gain.
This is also the biggest mistake she made in her life.
I wonder what it would be like for her to find out?
And Li Yanjing didn't know that he investigated the matter too early, but he startled the snake and made Li Che hide it deeper.
