Cheng Yanjin obviously went out in a hurry, and there were still many wrinkles in his clothes, so if he entered the palace in this way, he would probably be guilty of disrespect.

But now, except for Lu Heng and Li Shimin, no one can see it.

And the two people who saw it didn't mind at all.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

After Cheng Yanjin came in and saluted respectfully, his eyes fell on Zheng Rentai on the ground.

is an official in the same dynasty, and if you look up and don't look down, even if one of them is a newly promoted noble, and the other is a five-surnamed Qiwang who has been well-dressed for hundreds of years, the two are not very coefficient...... But seeing the tragic situation of the other party, Cheng Yanjin was also a little frightened.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand at him, signaling that he would be exempted.

Then he said:

"Zhijie, you entered the palace late at night, and I think you heard about tonight."

"What do you want to ask?"

Cheng Yanjin arched his hand and was about to speak, but Lu Heng next to him spoke first.

"Your Majesty, if you look at the appearance of the minister, it's not a matter of doing this."

Lu Heng pulled his blood-soaked clothes, a little embarrassed:

"Can you go home and change your clothes first?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment before shaking his head.

"If they know that you didn't die tonight, and you dragged Zheng Rentai into it, I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to kill you."

"As long as you live outside the palace, you are in danger."

"Since you have a good relationship with Gao Ming, why don't you stay in the East Palace tonight first, and then leave the palace when it is dawn."

"When the day dawns, many things can be easily arranged."

Lu Heng agreed very simply, and after saluting, he turned around and left the Manna Palace.

He's been trying to slip away for a long time!

Li Shimin tonight is completely different from usual.

If you don't say anything right, then you are very likely to be angry.

already had a mouth that couldn't speak, so Lu Heng didn't have to risk his own life.

………………

East Palace.

It was late at night, but Li Chengqian had not slept yet.

He's busy with the bookstore.

Although the previous Tianxia Bookstore has been burned down, Xiao Yu has compensated for the capital, and in fact, they have not lost money.

Besides, Li Chengqian and Lu Heng didn't expect to make money from the bookstore.

As long as nothing happens in the yard where movable type printing is carried out, then they will be able to export books and newspapers continuously.

Now it is only necessary to arrange the location of the new bookstore and purchase raw materials, and it will be a matter of minutes to reopen the bookstore.

And that's what Li Chengqian is busy with.

As the crown prince, he is not so idle, he has a lot of government affairs that he needs to deal with during the day, and he has to be busy with these things at night.

"Alas, I don't know when Lu Heng will be able to help me......"

Li Chengqian rubbed his temples, feeling deeply tired.

He knew that Lu Heng was now busy with more important things, and he was investigating the fire in the bookstore with Cheng Yanjin and them, and Cheng Chumo, who was more convenient to move, was running errands for things outside the palace.

I'm not alone!

As soon as he put down the things in his hand, Li Chengqian heard a familiar voice from outside the door.

"Brother Gao Ming, you haven't slept yet?"

Is it Lu Heng?

This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Li Chengqian hurriedly motioned to the palace people next to him to lead Lu Heng into the study, but as soon as the latter entered the door, the dress startled Li Chengqian.

He waved his hand and let the palace people go out first.

When there were only the two of them in the entire study, Li Chengqian got up and slowly walked towards Lu Heng.

"How did you do this, what happened?"

"So much blood, you're not hurt, are you?"

"Does Yu'er know about this?"

A set of three consecutive questions made Lu Heng a little confused.

He shook his head:

"I'm not hurt, the blood on my body is someone else's."

"Yu'er...... Today I went to the palace of Princess Changle with her, and I saw the eldest grandson Chong, and it was very late after I came out, and I didn't call the carriage to go out, so I walked home. ”

"I met an assassination on the way, and the murderer was Jung In-tae."

"Oh, most of the blood on my body was shed by him, and he is still in the Manna Temple."

The amount of information was too large, and Li Chengqian was a little dazed for a while.

What's the situation?

Zheng Rentai, assassinate Lu Heng?!

But before he could react, Lu Heng spoke again.

This time, there was a hint of sympathy in Lu Heng's eyes.

"Zheng Rentai didn't know that I still had a back hand, and the people of the Hundred Horsemen Division had been secretly protecting me, so when he thought I was completely alone, he was extremely arrogant."

"I also said a lot of things that shouldn't be said."

"Maybe this is the villain who died of talking too much......"

Lu Heng paused, and finally made up his mind, before he said slowly:

"He said, your legs are also the hands and feet of the five surnamed Qiwang who secretly moved."

"Li Chengqian, do you remember passing by before and after falling off your horse?"

"Your Majesty should have investigated this matter strictly, but probably because they hid it too well, they didn't find out there."

"If you still have an impression of this, it may help catch the murderer."

Li Chengqian was completely stunned.

He never thought that he had broken his leg for several years, and now he suddenly came out as a murderer.

Although his lame prince obstructed the eyes of many people......

However, why was someone trying to harm him long before his leg was broken?!

"I, I don't remember very well."

"This is something that happened before and after seven years of Zhenguan, and it hasn't been too long."

"But at that time, I was injured, my leg was very painful, and the whole person was in a trance, my father did send someone to investigate, but I didn't have the time to care about whose fault it was."

"Yes, even if the horseman is killed, the rest is nothing."

Li Chengqian stammered a little when he spoke, obviously because he was greatly impacted, and he couldn't even speak clearly for a while.

Hearing his words, Lu Heng sighed.

It's also easy to understand.

Just after the New Year, Li Chengqian is only 17 years old now, and he was only 14 or 5 years old when the accident happened.

Obviously, under the influence of Li Shimin, he was also a very martial arts teenager, and he was very keen on riding horses to practice martial arts back then, otherwise he would not have given people the opportunity to calculate him.

A prince who dreamed of being able to drive the crown like his father, but when he was in adolescence, he broke a leg.

Whoever comes, it's an extremely heavy blow.

Looking at it this way, under the huge pressure and blows, Li Chengqian in history was completely crooked, and Lu Heng was not surprised at all.

"Don't worry."

Lu Heng calmed down for a moment before saying:

"Your Majesty already knows about this, and Zheng Rentai has also been captured alive, and he will not be able to die for a while."

"When the interrogation comes out, everything will be revealed."

"Who did it to you, without us, Your Majesty will avenge you."

"You have a good rest first, I'll go change my clothes, and there should be results when it gets daybreak."

Li Chengqian's eyes straightened, and he nodded stunnedly, looking like his whole person was in a state of numbness.
