Chapter 19: Face to face

The guards took Li Xiao to follow behind Li Xun and walked in the direction of Yongning Palace.

At this time, the princes and ministers in the Yongning Palace were still immersed in joy, wouldn't it be happy to take a vacation with their families at public expense!

When Empress Dowager Yan turned around and found that Li Xiao was not around, she did not make a noise, but just told her father-in-law to go out to look for it, after all, the emperor is still young, and he is playful, and mothers can understand.

When Li Xun at the gate of the hall surrounded the Yongning Hall with a large number of heavily armed guards, the Empress Dowager Yan saw the strangeness at this time - Li Xiao had been controlled behind Li Xun.

"King Ping, what does this mean?" Empress Dowager Yan's eyes were sharp and her expression was serious, although she was on top of a high hall, she was full of oppression.

"The Queen Mother is such a shrewd person, can't she see it?" Li Xun looked around the entire Yongning Palace, and he didn't even look at the Empress Dowager Yan.

The princes and ministers of the whole capital accompanied the emperor and the queen mother to the summer resort, and the imperial forest army followed the left and right to protect the safety. When entering the mountain, Li Xun had already paid attention to the approximate total number and configuration of the Imperial Forest Army, and now he entered the Yongning Hall again, and Li Xun keenly grasped the distribution of the Imperial Forest Army.

"All the soldiers obey the order! Surround the Imperial Guards! ”

"Yes......"

Bang la, bla blah......

The soldiers of the two camps instantly drew their swords and confronted each other, and the atmosphere of the Yongning Hall suddenly solidified into ice.

The princes and ministers were frightened by the scene in front of them, the sound of wine glasses falling to the ground, the sound of knives and forks falling on utensils, the sound of tables overturning utensils and falling to the ground, and the sound of family members screaming in panic......

Originally, after everyone was stunned, they descended to the freezing point of the silent Yongning Palace, and all kinds of chaotic sounds broke out in an instant, and after a while, silence returned.

Empress Dowager Yan did not have a trace of panic, standing quietly on top of the hall, looking at Li Xun in the hall and Li Xiao behind Li Xun, as if she was thinking about countermeasures, and as if everything was under control. The calm face was unwavering, and no emotion could be seen.

"King Ping, what is the matter with this? Everything can be solved privately, so why bother everyone with swords facing each other. Concubine Chu, do you think what the mourning family said is reasonable? Empress Dowager Yan's gaze swept to the concubine.

Concubine Chu was terrified at this time, and Empress Dowager Yan's personality was very clear in her heart, what should Li Xun do now? It's a head-scratching thing! The princess didn't want her remaining son to have any more accidents.

"Xun'er, do you know what this is for? Hurry up and order them to lay down their weapons and intercede with the Queen Mother, you did this kind of thing in a moment of confusion. Hurry up, hurry up and put down your weapon......" Concubine Chu couldn't let go of anything else in her mind, she just wanted Li Xun to put down her weapon and save her life.

"Mother, why do you still blindly beg for mercy, it is useless to beg for mercy from this kind of person. Has she spared anyone? Will I spare you? Have you spared your eldest brother? Do you spare the other brothers? The more Li Xun spoke, the more excited he became, and there was no sign of laying down his arms and begging for mercy.

When the princess saw that Li Xun had made up her mind, she was so angry that she couldn't stand steadily, and shook you, who was crumbling, but fortunately, the maid beside her hurriedly supported her, constantly shaking her head and shedding tears......

"It seems that King Ping is determined to do this?"

"If you don't take down this vicious woman, I'm sorry for the loyal souls who were killed by you!"

Li Xiao looked at the two sides of the confrontation, on one side was his mother, and on the other side was his half-brother, and for a while, he didn't know who to believe.

"King Ping, even if you rebel on your own, it's ridiculous to find out the nonsense of the so-called loyal and unjust souls to justify yourself!"

"Haha, it's really not what I expected, what kind of person you are, I don't know? Without hard evidence, how can you admit to doing the shady things you have done? ”

After speaking, Li Xun clapped his hands, and then the guards escorted in a person from the outside.

The man had kept his head down since he entered the door, his unkempt hair covering his entire head, making it difficult to see his face. He limped into the temple and fell to his knees without saying a word.

"Who's kneeling?" Empress Dowager Yan asked sharply.

The kneeling man did not reply, but only wrapped his shackled hands around the hair covering his face, revealing his true face.

Empress Dowager Yan glanced at this person, gasped in her heart, and a look of surprise flashed on her face, which was fleeting and no one noticed.

"Li Siwu, Lord Li...... How could it be him? ”

Someone in the hall already recognized the unkempt Li Siwu, and couldn't help but exclaim!

This person is Li Siwu, Lord Li, who investigated the disappearance of the fourth prince a year ago. This person was demoted to a commoner because of his poor handling of the case, and was driven out of the capital, and he was never allowed to return to Beijing.

After Li Siwu was recognized, the faces of the people present were full of surprise and puzzlement, but they could all guess that the appearance of this person must be related to the disappearance of the fourth prince back then, but they don't know why he was brought here.

"The Queen Mother didn't expect to see Lord Li here, right?" A look of disdain appeared on Li Xun's cold face.

If you don't want people to know, you can't do it yourself!

"Li Siwu has been punished and will never return to Beijing, let's say, what is the purpose of bringing him here?" Empress Dowager Yan asked with a calm expression.

"The Queen Mother is amazing! It seems that you still have to let Li Siwu tell you what you did back then, Lord Li, please tell your story. Li Xun glanced at Empress Dowager Yan in disgust, and his gaze fell on Li Siwu, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Queen Mother, don't you have a bad conscience at all?" Li Siwu stared fiercely at the Empress Dowager Yan in the palace.

"Li Siwu, shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?" Empress Dowager Yan raised her voice and shouted.

"Queen Mother, I haven't started to say yet, just shut me up, are you scared? Of course, how can you not be afraid of those unjust souls that you have killed? Li Siwu said indignantly.

"Back then, after investigating that the disappearance of the fourth prince was related to the Queen Mother, you warned Zai Xia not to continue to verify this matter, but I don't dare to agree with the major matters related to the prince. So you sent someone to kidnap your family members as a threat to stop checking the matter. There is really no way to do it, for the safety of your family, you gave up continuing to verify this matter, but in the end, you still didn't let go of your family members below, and all of them were wiped out. How ruthless you are, to use a knife against a group of women and children, they are just a group of defenseless women and children! My daughter is just four years old, how can you do it! After Li Siwu finished speaking, he lay down in the hall and cried bitterly.

"What else do you have to say? Where the hell is my fourth brother? Li Xun asked excitedly.

"How do I know? Can you believe Li Siwu's words just by relying on his words and one-sided words? Who knows whose slander he has listened to to to harm this palace? Empress Dowager Yan reprimanded angrily.

"You crazy woman is a devil......" Li Siwu got up from the ground and scolded.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know who to believe.

"Shameless! If you refuse to admit it in the face of confronting, then don't blame me for being ruthless, being soft on people like you is disrespectful to the soul who died unjustly! Li Xun picked up the sword in his hand and rushed straight to the palace.

Is the current Yongning Hall eternally peaceful or forever restless?
