When Zhong Liyou said this sentence with great caution, Li Chen'an was shocked in his heart!

These words greatly surprised him.

For this trip to Shuzhou, he had a lot of preparations.

Those preparations were not untargeted, but rather the worst-case possible outcome that was synthesized with a lot of information and carefully considered.

First of all, when he captured the second prince Ning Zhixing in Shuangjiao Mountain, he wanted to kill him with a knife, but Ning Zhixing told a shocking secret-

"You are not the eldest son of the emperor!"

"The so-called eldest son of the emperor is the child of Queen Lu's stealing life! It was she who put a green hat on the emperor! ”

"The Houfu was destroyed, and Queen Lu died...... She is to blame! ”

"Do you think it's the best choice for you to kill me, kill all the princes, and let that wild seed ascend the throne as the emperor?"

"You've been fooled!"

"The eldest grandson Jinghong lied to you! Fan Taohua also lied to you! ”

"The most terrifying person in Ning Guo is not Xi Wei, but ...... Fan Taohua! ”

"Do you think that if you kill this king, you will be able to ascend the throne as emperor?!"

"Childish!"

"You're making a wedding garment for that seed!"

Li Chenan had reservations, but he became wary of Fan Taohua.

After returning to Kyoto, he wanted to find evidence of the second prince's words in the black building of the Imperial City Division, but there was no one in it.

When gathering in the wilderness, Fan Taohua wanted to refuse the entrustment he made when he was dying, but he still agreed.

First, Zhongli Ruoshui was in Shuzhou, and he needed to pick up Zhongli Ruoshui to Wu.

Secondly...... He also wanted to see the eldest son of the emperor.

On the way to Shuzhou, Wang Zhengjinzhong mentioned some things in the information he gave him.

The eldest grandson Jinghong has been investigating the cause of Empress Lu's death before his death, but in the end he did not investigate it again, because the reason behind this matter is too absurd.

Wang Zhengjinzhong did not say where the absurdity was, but Li Chenan guessed that it might be the identity of the emperor's eldest son.

This proves from the side that Ning Zhixing may not have lied in this matter.

Wang Zheng Jinzhong also mentioned one thing -

The disappearance of the emperor's eldest son has a great relationship with Fan Taohua!

What's at stake?

Why would she do it?

Li Chenan's hands were not idle on Xiao Baozi's waist all the way, and his brain was not idle.

He carefully sorted out the events that had happened since he went to Kyoto.

When he first arrived in Kyoto, Fan Taohua did not invite him to step into the door of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion!

In other words, at the beginning, Fan Taohua didn't like him, or didn't regard him as a grandson-in-law!

Fan Taohua invited herself to Zhongli Mansion, or after she made fireworks.

Maybe at that time, Fan Taohua felt that she still had some value.

In the small cabin by the pond in the backyard of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, I drank a cup of tea with Fan Taohua and talked to each other.

She said that her grandfather Li Chunfu gave her a tea set when she resigned in Zhaohua in the sixth year.

The tea set was five cups and a pot, and a person's name was engraved on the bottom, hoping that she could protect them.

This is to say that the relationship between her and Li Chunfu is very good, and she did not have the slightest suspicion of her at that time.

In addition, she also said that she thought Cheng Guogong's idea was good, and asked him if he was afraid?

It's to see his boldness, and maybe the idea of drawing Jitai's attention to him.

By the way, she also said that the eldest grandson Jinghong had also been to the pond and accompanied her to fish, but what she was talking about was about Li Chen'an.

The eldest grandson Jinghong was suspicious of Fan Taohua, but he didn't know what he and Fan Taohua had said, or what they had compromised with each other.

Now that I think about it, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the emperor did not inexplicably crown himself as a poet immortal.

It's not that he portrays himself as the eldest son of the emperor for no reason!

The emperor set himself up completely and gave himself the opportunity to compete for imperial power...... He did this for Fan Taohua to see!

In other words, the emperor would rather inherit the throne himself than the eldest son of the emperor to become the emperor of Ningguo.

And this happens to be what Fan Taohua doesn't want to see.

Since Fan Taohua knew the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son, why did she come to Shuzhou to meet the emperor's eldest son?

is the same as what Zhong Lipo or Hua Manting and others think, that is, Fan Taohua hopes that he will die in Shuzhou!

Unlike what Zhong Lipo and Hua Manting thought, Li Chenan did not associate Xi Wei.

He thought that if Fan Taohua killed him, it would inevitably cause Zhongli Ruoshui to have a great hatred for her.

At the time of the Kyoto Rebellion, in the gathering of other fields, it happened that Huai Pingshan unexpectedly led his troops to attack him, which caused the already injured Fan Taohua's injuries to worsen.

She knew that she was going to die and could not go to Shuzhou to pick up the emperor's eldest son in person, so she handed over this matter to herself, and also handed over the peach blossom order that could command 50,000 divine guards to herself.

Is this trust?

Li Chenan didn't believe it from beginning to end.

In Li Chen'an's view, Fan Taohua's move was to let the eldest son of the emperor get the military power of the Divine Guard Army through his own hands.

Secondly...... She is about to die, so she will use the Divine Guard Army to kill herself in Xishan, and the eldest son of the emperor can lead his troops into Kyoto, so as to sit back and relax as the emperor of Ningguo.

Otherwise, no matter what, it can't explain the reason why Fan Taohua asked Zhongli Ruoshui to come to Shuzhou and let himself come to Shuzhou.

But at this moment, Zhong Liyou said such a sentence......

"My mother had a bad feeling before the Kyoto Revolution...... It can't be said to be a premonition, it should be said to be the mother's judgment of the situation. ”

As if worried that Li Chenan would not believe it, Zhong Liyou took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Chenan:

"The last letter my mother wrote to me, you can read it!"

Li Chenan took the letter, took it out, unfolded it, and first looked at the date at the end of the letter-

The fifth day of October in the twenty-third year of Zhaohua!

It's the eve of the Kyoto Revolution!

Then he took a closer look at the contents of the letter, and his heart was shocked.

“…… Jingye thought about it carefully, and her mother may have really done something wrong over the years.

Maybe Xi Wei is right.

He said that it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, what matters is who can make the people's lives better. ”

"In the past ten years, my mother has had many conflicts with your father because of her obsession with letting the emperor's eldest son successfully ascend the throne as emperor...... Mother can't stand your father. ”

"Xi Wei will soon promote the change in Kyoto, and my mother thought about it again and again, and met with him."

"He said that Li Chenan is the best candidate to be the emperor of Ningguo!"

"He said that if I get the Jimmu army to give up resistance, he will guarantee that the forces at his disposal will not cause any damage to Kyoto."

"Niang thought about it and decided to let the Shenwu Army guard the palace, if Xi Weizhen handed over Ningguo to Li Chen'an, if Xi Weizhen retreated, then the Shenwu Army would also withdraw from Kyoto."

"Mother doesn't know if he will keep his promise."

"The mother will give the peach blossom order to Li Chen'an, if Xi Wei breaks his promise, the Divine Guard Army will obey Li Chen'an's order to invade Kyoto and regain the authority of Ningguo!"

"If Xi Wei keeps his promise...... The Divine Guard Army also listened to Li Chen'an's arrangement. ”

"As for the emperor's eldest son, Li Chenan will not kill him."

"Then let's assume that Ning Guo doesn't have such an eldest son at all."

"Let him still live a carefree life, which may be the best."
