Although the former prince's personal freedom was not restricted, the spies supervised him.

Except for the things that the other party deliberately hid, he usually knew what he was doing and where he went.

The former prince suddenly wanted to give Li Sifang a full moon wine, and the commander felt that something was wrong.

Li Xingchen smiled, I also want to know what he is doing, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep his previous promise to his father, he is going to be dishonest...

The imperial power cannot be blasphemed, there are no dissident people around him, and he can't blame himself, everything depends on whether he lets go of his past hatred.

"The minister retired." After the commander finished reporting, he decided to personally go to the vicinity of the house to monitor the former prince to see what he was going to do.

Li Xingchen is going to participate in the full moon banquet, and the weight of the former prince's invitation is much heavier, and he selects officials above the third grade, and they will be present if they have that confidence.

You must know that His Majesty is here in person, and no one will disagree to come.

So, for the sake of Li Xingchen's face, anyone invited by the former prince will arrive on time.

…

Shirou Mansion.

Zhou Yuetian's son Zhou Dafa twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Father, do you want to respond to the conspiracy of the former prince?" ”

Zhou Yuetian's fingers tapped on the desk.

Some time ago, because of the problems of Buddhism, he was worried, and accidentally met with the former prince who had just returned from attending a Taoist ceremony.

casually said a few words about Li Xingchen's dissatisfaction with Buddhism, but the former prince crackled and said that the throne was a mess.

Adhering to his devotion to the Buddha and saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, he didn't tell it, and as a result, the former prince came more and more often, promising all kinds of benefits, saying that after ascending the throne, he would drop as much as he wanted.

To be honest, he was also tempted, and over time he also had some thoughts, but he was still afraid of Li Xingchen from the bottom of his heart, so he gave the former prince an ambiguous answer.

As long as the former prince has an incident, he will help according to the situation.

At first, he wavered and hesitated, and there were many reasons for this, but now he gradually drifted away from the former prince, because Li Xingchen's approach to Buddhism was too much, which made him very unhappy.

If you don't do something, Buddhism will be killed by Li Xingchen.

Zhou Yuetian sighed and made a decision, "Arrange it first and wait for the order." ”

It's always a good idea to be prepared for everything, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

"Yes." Zhou Dafa turned and left.

Soon, high-level dignitaries received invitations to full moon wine, and the prime minister and others were also invited.

Three days later, the former prince's mansion was bustling.

He stood at the gate with Li Sifang and his concubine in his arms to greet the guests.

The visitors were all smiling, congratulating him with gifts, and giving him enough face.

But after entering the mansion, they looked around for Li Xingchen without exception.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hands of the former prince holding Li Sifang were almost numb, and Li Xingchen had not yet come.

His eyes were fixed on the front, his heart anxious.

If Li Xingchen doesn't come, all this will be meaningless...

It's all ready, isn't he kidding if he doesn't come?

Just when he was about to be angry, Li Xingchen came, accompanied by Chu Li, followed by the sixth princess Li Xinman, and a kind of palace maid and eunuch.

The former crown prince breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with his concubine, "Meet Your Majesty, Empress." ”

"No courtesy." Li Xingchen held a hand and looked at the child.

"He's the Quartet?"

The child is white and tender, so cute. I just heard that the child was born in less than half a year and was born prematurely. It's only been a month now, and it looks like I've weighed at least a dozen pounds, which seems a little greasy.

Of course, he won't debunk the matter of being a father in person, for fear that the former prince won't be able to stand it.

He's pitiful enough, and then tell him that his son is not his, and he can't be crazy?

The former prince nodded, handed Li Sifang to the concubine, and welcomed Li Xingchen into the mansion.

With his arrival, the officials present stood up to pay their respects.

Li Xingchen glanced around and found that everyone who came had heads and faces, high-ranking officials and wealthy families.

Although most people come here for their own face, I have to say that the former prince is very appealing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to congratulate you, you're welcome, sit down." Li Xingchen smiled.

Everyone sat down, the former prince picked up the wine glass, said and wrote a greeting, and sat down at Li Xingchen's table, the atmosphere was happy, talking and laughing, it seemed to be an ordinary family, without so many crooked thoughts and unpleasantness.

After three rounds of drinking, the former prince put down his wine glass, looked directly at Li Xingchen, smiled sinisterly, and smiled decisively.

"Li Xingchen, do you know how bitter I am?"

These words make a kind of person and others stiff and dare to be the emperor's name, which means that he is going to turn his face?

For a while, people who were half-drunk suddenly became excited and looked at the past in surprise.

The sixth princess gasped and said in a panic, "Big brother, what are you talking nonsense." Brother Emperor, eldest brother, he is drunk, you see that he is as red as a monkey's ass, and he is unconscious when he drinks, don't be like him. ”

The former prince was shocked by her name, as long as she wasn't stupid, she could understand that today was a Hongmen banquet.

The purpose of the banquet was to trick Li Xingchen into coming and seize the throne.

The former eldest son stood up, laughed, and looked at Li Xingchen with great resentment.

"I'm not drunk!" The sound was much louder than before, almost roaring, reaching the ears of every guest.

The former second prince twisted his eyebrows, and he sat next to the former prince, wanting to pull him down so that he would not continue to make mistakes.

If the former prince doesn't know what to say, then even if Li Xing forgives him for his presumptuous crime, he will be squeezed out by the major forces in the future, and there is no way out.

"Get out, don't touch me!" The former crown prince shook off the first two princes and walked towards Li Xingchen.

However, before he took two steps, his head sank, his steps staggered, and he hurriedly took out a pill from his cuff, took it to return to his normal state, and strode towards Li Xingchen.

The prime minister and others at the other table stood up, and there was the same situation as the former prince just now, and he was dizzy for a while, and he sat back in his position.

The audience was in an uproar and wanted to go up, but the symptoms were the same, the whole body was weak, and then I realized that something was wrong, not drunk at all, but drugged.

"What do you want to do?"

"Someone, protect Your Majesty."

Everyone, you say a word to me, you know that the big thing is not good, and the front desk is going to rebel.

The former prince smiled hideously, "What's it called?" Don't scream anymore, you all have cartilage in the food and drink, and you're surrounded by my people, and no one will come to save you. ”

As he spoke, he stopped and turned to look at the crowd with madness in his eyes and trembling all over.

All the food was poisoned, including his own, though he had just taken the antidote.

When the words fell, the faces of the people changed drastically, but there were also some high-level people who did not move, such as the prime minister, the military department Shangshu and others, just glared at the former prince with an angry face.

They are all people who have seen strong winds and waves, and they will not panic because of a small thing.
