Chapter 8: The Old Fox

"Okay, Lord Han said it well."

Li Xiao clapped her hands and laughed loudly.

Sure enough, it was a cunning old man, and he threw the basin aside with a few fluttering words.

"In that case, then the palace won't pursue it too much."

Li Xiao said as she spoke, suddenly shook her hand and slapped Han Xuan hard.

The sound of "pop" is crisp and pleasant.

Han Xuan, who had a blue nose and swollen face that had been beaten, instantly swelled even more on half of his face.

This slap made the hearts of the people present tense, and His Royal Highness the Prince was not soft at all.

"This slap is just a warning."

"Lord Han is also a smart person, I must be able to guess who the mastermind behind the scenes is, so please ask Lord Han to pass on a message for me."

"Since you want to play, then this palace will accompany you to the end to see who can play whom."

The expression on Han Yuan's face did not change in the slightest, like a pool of water without waves in an ancient well.

"The old minister advised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to worry about the next poetry meeting, otherwise the work will be too busy to be empty, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

Han Yuan said softly and hardly.

"Don't worry about this little thing, let Miss Han get ready."

"The rules of the East Palace are strict, and when the time comes to enter the East Palace, the Palace will have to set up rules for Miss Han."

Saying that, Li Xiao also glanced at Han Lin'er who was next to her, but Han Lin'er snorted and turned her head with disdain.

"Let's go, since this matter has nothing to do with Han Gongzi, then the palace will leave, and if you can't get it, please bear with Master Han."

Li Xiao said, and was about to leave with a group of guards.

"Where is it, the coming day is long, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take care of himself!"

Han Yuan also said with a smile on his face, and the threat in his words was full of threat.

In his opinion, Li Xiao is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.

After the poetry meeting, Li Xiao was deposed as the crown prince, and it was not up to them.

Looking at Li Xiao's arrogant and departing back, Han Yuan's face showed a ruthless look.

"Father, how can you let him go like this? Could it be that the boy was beaten in vain? ”

Seeing Li Xiao walking away, Han Xuan finally had the courage to call.

"Smack"

Another crisp slap sounded.

I saw Han Yuan shake his hand and give Han Xuan a slap.

"You waste, you can't handle such a trivial matter to explain you, and you almost implicated the four princes."

"How do I know that this Li Xiao suddenly seems to be a different person, he must not have known that there was something wrong with that pot of wine before, isn't it just a prince who is about to be abolished, what's the big deal about teaching him a lesson."

Han Xuan covered his face and said aggrievedly, and the hatred for Li Xiao in his heart increased a little more.

"Do you still know he's the crown prince? As long as he is not deposed for a day, he is the prince for a day, do you know how much trouble your words just now can cause? ”

"If this matter implicates the four princes, this Li Xiao will sue His Majesty again, and then this matter will not be solved by just letting you be beaten."

Hearing his father say this, Han Xuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Now their Han family's biggest backer is the four princes, and they were forced by Li Xiao just now, and they almost didn't confess to the four princes.

If it hadn't been for his father stopping him just now, I'm afraid he would have already caused a big disaster.

"Han Quan, send someone to the Qinglou, wipe all the traces clean, and find a scapegoat to solve it."

Han Won instructed the butler behind him.

"Lin'er, when the talented people in Beijing gather in the past two days, you are ready, this time you must make this Li Xiao a big ugly, and you must let His Majesty abolish his position as the crown prince."

"Father, rest assured, His Royal Highness has contacted all kinds of talents inside and outside Beijing, and when the time comes, Li Xiao will not want to raise his head."

When Han Lin'er talked about the four princes, her eyes were full of admiration.

Here Li Xiao left the Han Mansion and walked aimlessly on the street.

The guard behind him looked like he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to ask Li Xiao something.

"If you have anything you want to ask, just say it, if you have a fart, you will break your heart."

"Poof."

The guard couldn't help but laugh, but Xuanji sorted out his expression again, and his expression was serious.

"Your Highness, it was obvious just now that the pot of poisonous wine was made by the Han family's father and son, why did you let them go so easily?"

The guard looked puzzled.

"What's your name?"

Li Xiao looked at the guard, he was the first to stand up just now and slam the door at Li Xiao's order.

"Little Wu Gang, he was just transferred from the Northern Border Army to the East Palace three days ago to be responsible for guarding the safety of His Highness."

"Wu Gang."

Li Xiao muttered the name in his mouth, and Wu Gang followed behind Li Xiao, looking respectful.

"Okay, then you will be solely responsible for the safety of this palace from now on."

"Thank you for your trust, for the sake of Your Highness, I will not hesitate to give up my life."

Wu Gang was flattered by this sudden trust, and he quickly stopped, knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Li Xiao.

"Alright, get up."

Li Xiao said as he walked, Wu Gang got up and hurriedly followed Li Xiao.

"These are all small shrimps, the big fish are still behind, and the palace is just letting them jump for a few days."

Li Xiao naturally knew that all this was instructed by the four princes, but it was not yet time, so Li Xiao did not want to tear his face for the time being.

At present, the most important thing is to change all the people around you, presumably there must be many eyeliners of the four princes in the East Palace.

Now the entire East Palace is worthy of Li Xiao's trust, that is, the personal palace maid Wan'er and the Wu Gang behind him.

This is also the conclusion that Li Xiao has come to today through the observation of various details, language can deceive people, but a person's subconscious actions cannot deceive people.

"Wu Gang."

"Humble duty."

"How many people have been transferred to the capital by the border army this time?"

"Back to Your Highness, as far as I know, there are more than 3,000 people."

"Okay, tomorrow I'll give you a day to pick out two hundred out of the three thousand."

"First, you must be faithful and reliable, and you must be innocent; The second skill should be good, you will be the commander of the guards, replace the original guards, and those people will be responsible for the security of the East Palace in the future. ”

"I know that tomorrow I will get all these things done."

Wu Gang never thought that he belonged to the kind of people who had nothing to do with the DPRK and the army, so he was sent to the side of this prince as a guard.

originally thought that his life would stop here.
