The main hall of the East Palace, the lights are flickering.

Li Xian looked at the dense number of Right Jinwu guards outside the hall, his face was pale and terrifying, and he sat there, shaking his fists.

The prince's family ordered Murong to stand on the side, and kept taking out the letters from the bookshelf and putting them in the brazier to burn them.

From time to time, Murong guests also looked outside the hall.

He was reassured that no one from outside the temple had rushed into the temple to prevent him from burning the most important correspondence.

Li Xian's rebellion this time involved a larger scope than anyone imagined.

It's just that all along, people's eyes have been on Luoyang, Chang'an, but they have ignored that over the years, too many people have been released as officials in the East Palace, and even in the Yongwang Mansion back then.

And the location is not low.

Once the strength of these people is gathered, it is enough for Li Xian to control the court situation as soon as possible after attacking the Xuanwu Gate.

"We failed." Li Xian finally spoke, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes: "Today's matter, we underestimated our father's reaction. ”

"It's a risk." Murong kept moving, and at the same time shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the most important thing now is to put everything off the relationship with Your Highness, everything is done by others, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness." ”

Li Xian looked up a little unexplained, it was already like this, how could things still have nothing to do with him.

Murong Guest burned the last letter, stood up, looked at Li Xian, and said solemnly: "Everything was done by the minister and Gao Qi, and the two of us secretly planned to take His Highness hostage and attack the Xuanwu Gate on His Majesty's birthday...... Everything is our fault, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness. ”

Li Xian's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he looked at Murong Guest, shook his head and said, "It's useless, these things, the secret guards must have been staring at them for a long time." ”

"The words are so false, but as long as the minister and Gao Qi are determined, then no one can bite His Highness again." After a slight pause, Murong Guest continued: "Except for the minister and Gao Qi, no one else has been in contact with His Royal Highness, and in the minister's house and Gao Qi's home, there are letters between the two of us, which record the plot of the two of us to hold His Highness hostage. ”

"You've been preparing for a long time?" Li Xian looked at Murong in disbelief.

"It's just a matter of thinking about defeat before you win."

After Murong Guest finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the long sword placed on the shelf next to him, and the sharp lance blade instantly rested on Li Xian's shoulder.

"Your Highness thinks that you are really deceived by the minister and Gao Qi, everything is done by the minister and Gao Qi, Your Highness must live, so that the minister and Gao Qi will not die in vain." After Murong finished speaking, the long sword in his hand stretched forward, and a trace of blood had already appeared under Li Xian's jaw.

The corners of Li Xian's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he subconsciously cried out in pain, but fortunately, he bit it at the last moment.

"Your Highness, please." Murong Guest's face instantly turned cold: "Whether the minister can survive today depends on His Highness's status in His Majesty's heart." ”

Li Xian stood up involuntarily, and then was held hostage by Murong guests and walked to the front of the palace gate, and then heard a "bang".

Murong kicked the door of the hall open.

Countless torches at the gate of the hall suddenly appeared in front of Murong Guest's eyes.

"Murong!" An angry roar came from the rear, and the prince's right guard led Lu Yili with a blue face, rushed in from the side door, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? ”

Murong Guest's playful gaze rose, and he looked at Liu Xianli, Li Jingjia, Pei Yan, Duan Baoxuan, Cui Mi, Li Dazhi and others who came with him, and said sideways: "What are you doing, ask for a way to live, the prince has done such a rebellious act, Murong naturally wants to find a way to live for himself." ”

"Seeking a way to live is seeking a way to live, why do you want to hold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hostage?" Lu Yi suppressed his anger and stared at Murong Guest.

Today's events were bad enough.

Liu Xianli in the service, with Li Dazhi, the general of the right Jinwuwei, Li Jingjia, the king of Beiping County, the general of the left Qianniuwei, and Pei Yan, the secretary of the criminal department, Duan Baoxuan, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Cui Mi in the imperial history, almost all of them are there.

Under everyone's gaze, the prince's right guard led himself to dig out three hundred pairs of armor in the stable of the East Palace.

Lu Yi was directly stunned, he didn't know when so many battle armors appeared in the East Palace, and it was still in the stable.

As long as three hundred more men came, armed with swords and guns, they would be three hundred cavalry at once.

Three hundred cavalry, if they raid, can even directly kill Luoyang from the east of Luoyang City.

What's more, it's still in the palace.

Of course Lu Yi understands what this means?

Someone wants to rebel.

Someone in the East Palace wants to rebel.

Now, Murong has taken the crown prince hostage again.

What happened, everything seemed to become very clear.

……

Murong raised his head, his gaze crossed Lu Yi, and fell on Liu Xianli: "Liu Xiang, please get out of the way and let Murong leave." ”

Liu Xianli didn't speak, just looked at Murong guests calmly.

This is the East Palace, and there are three hundred gold guards in the East Palace, as well as hundreds of princes who listen to his orders.

Except for the East Palace, it is the entire Imperial Palace.

Now in the palace, there are left and right Jin Wu guards, left and right Qianniu guards, left and right prison guards, left and right leading guards, and forbidden troops.

In particular, the forbidden army has the most, and the North Gate Forbidden Army can send 10,000 people into the palace at any time.

Now that the East Palace has changed, everyone and others are all on alert, how can Murong guests escape.

Liu Xianli's gaze moved away from Murong Guest's body and looked at Li Xian: "Your Highness......

As soon as Liu Xianli spoke, Murong Xianli immediately understood that Liu Xianli had already seen his plan.

He is taking responsibility for the crown prince.

With a "bang", without the slightest hesitation, Murong Guest directly reversed the hilt of the sword and smashed it the back of Li Xian's head.

Li Xian, who was just about to say something, was suddenly smashed and fainted, and his face was stunned.

Also stunned were the many high-ranking officials and soldiers present.

"Liu Xiang, now please get out of the way and let Murong leave." Murong looked at Liu Xianli with great firmness.

One hand dragged Li Xian from behind, and the other hand held a sword under Li Xian's neck, and blood had already flowed down.

Seeing this scene, how could Liu Xianli not understand that Murong was ready to die for Li Xian.

He couldn't get out of the East Palace at all today.

He also knew that he couldn't get out of the East Palace, but he had to go.

Only by moving forward can he lead the blame from Li Xian's body to himself.

Only in this way will Li Xian have a chance to get rid of suspicion.

Only in this way will other people who want to help Li Xian help him.

Liu Xianli's eyes immediately became cold, looked to the side, and whispered coldly: "General Li, take him down, he will live." ”

Liu Xianli gave an order, and Li Dazhi, who had been prepared for a long time, did not hesitate at all, and directly raised his bow and shot arrows.

In an instant, the two long arrows had already shot out like lightning, and they were fiercely nailed into the two hands of Murong Guest's sword.

The blood suddenly exploded, and the guest Murong couldn't help but scream in pain.

With a "dang" sound, the long sword fell to the ground.

At this time, the two figures had already rushed out in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, they had each grabbed the two arms of Murong Guest.

Li Jingjia, Lu Yi.

At the same time, Pei Yan and Duan Baoxuan also hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Xian, who was unconscious.

"Let go of me." Murong couldn't help but shout.

At this time, a hand reached his jaw, and then twisted it hard, and Murong Guest's chin had been removed.

"Take it down and put it in the prison of Dali Temple." Liu Xianli looked at Duan Baoxuan, nodded, and said, "Duan Gong personally sent it over, don't let people die." ”

"Whoa!" Duan Baoxuan gave up his hand to receive the order, and then turned to leave.

Liu Xianli looked at Pei Yan and said, "Brother Zilong asked the prince to be sent into the palace, the palace door was wide open, just look at the prince." ”

"Don't you need to search the East Palace?" Pei Yan subconsciously asked a word, and as soon as the words came out, he knew that he had said the wrong thing.

Liu Xianli glanced at Pei Yan deeply, and finally shook his head calmly, and said, "No, Your Majesty's holy decree, just search the stables of the East Palace, as for the rest, I don't care." ”

"Whoa!" Pei Yan arched his hand, his expression flickering.

Since he entered the palace, he has not seen the emperor.

What was in the emperor's heart, he couldn't see clearly.

Of course, the abolished prince is the abolished prince, but when the father abolished his son, he would not struggle in his heart.

A man who couldn't speak rushed to the emperor at this time and said that he would investigate the rest of the prince's party......

One ulterior motive is enough to cut people off.

Liu Xianli turned around, looked at Lu Yi and said: "General Zhonglang, the prince immediately put down all his blades and went to the right prison guard station, and all the guards in the East Palace are in charge of the right Qianniu guard." ”

"The last general commands." The prince's right guard led Zhonglang to give Lu Yi over seriously, and his heart was infinitely sad.

Even if Murong Guest played a desperate hand in the end, the prince would still be abolished.

In the entire East Palace, countless subordinates, I don't know how many people will be "killed" tonight.

"Li Dazhi, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, and Li Jingjia, the general of the Qianniu Wei on the left." Liu Xianli suddenly drank the order.

"The end will be." Li Dazhi and Li Jingjia stood up at the same time.

"Today, the two of you are guarding the East Palace, and all the people are not allowed to leave the room, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Liu Xianli stretched out his hand, his face was fierce.

"Whoa!"

……

In the backyard of the East Palace, a sneaky figure escaped from the front yard, breathing rapidly towards the northeast of the East Palace.

Just turned into the shadow of a large hall, and then a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Qi Zhi, where are you going?" ”

Qi Zhi, the Tsing Yi attendant in front of him, subconsciously stopped, and at this time, a hand stretched out from the deeper darkness and pressed directly under Qi Zhi's nose.

The sweet smell came, and the next moment, Qi Zhi's head tilted, and the person had fainted directly.

Under the shadow of the palace, Xu Lu walked out with a calm face, and looked under the palace walls outside the two palaces in front of him.

There was a dog cave there, and Qi Zhi was going there.

Dog Cave, a little-known place to leave the palace in the East Palace.

Even in the entire East Palace, only a few people know about it.

Qi Zhi and Xu Lu are all such people, because they are all people who are responsible for dark matters around the prince.

Xu Lu stretched out a hand into Qi Zhi's arms, and then a seal wrapped in yellow silk appeared in Xu Lu's hand.

Prince Seal.

Xu Lu couldn't help but sigh lightly, a few days ago, he just mentioned a little about the wind and rain after the death of the emperor, and Qi Zhi wrote down the matter of the prince's seal.

Putting the prince seal back into Qi Zhi's arms, Xu Lu supported him, quickly came to an abandoned well not far away, and then threw Qi Zhi into it without hesitation.

Silently, Xu Lu sneered lightly.

Prince seal, this thing, he can carve countless identical radish seals.

You don't need to get the original product at all.

For the wind and rain that this thing can stir up, Xu Lu, who has experienced it after the death of Emperor Li Hong, is the most clear.

Now, it was obvious that Qi Zhi was going to do something.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Lu, it has nothing to do with Li Xuan, they have their own plans.

Turning around and looking in the direction of the Qianyang Palace, Xu Lu gritted his teeth tightly.

He knew that honoring Emperor Li Hong was not poisoned.

He was consumed to death.

Little by little, it was ground until the lamp ran out.

And the person who did this was the Empress Wu.

Xu Lu's face was grim: What we have is time to play slowly.

Turning to look at the entire East Palace, Xu Lu's face became solemn.

Tonight, the entire East Palace doesn't know how many people want to die of "a white silk".

In silence, Xu Lu had disappeared in front of the abandoned well.
