Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 304 I want to see if he dares to rebel!

"Brother, why did His Majesty come to our palace?"

"How would I know?"

Li Jingheng also found it strange.

The news that His Majesty was returning to Chang'an had just been announced in the palace, but in the blink of an eye, His Majesty was already in their home.

and.

Judging from Li Daozon's appearance, it seemed that he had known in advance that His Majesty was going to return to the city and come to their house.

"Brother, do you think His Majesty has any secrets that he wants to tell our father?"

Li Jingren was a little boy with a big imagination.

Li Jingheng rolled his eyes speechlessly and punched Li Jingren on the head.

"Hey, brother, why did you hit me?"

"I didn't realize you have such a rich imagination!"

Li Jingheng waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, do what you need to do. Children should not interfere in adult affairs."

Li Jingren pouted, "Sister, you see he just bullies me."

Li Xueyan smiled, rubbed Li Jingren's head and said, "Brother is right. You should go back to your yard first."

Li Jingren grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction and left.

Li Jingheng looked back in the direction of the main hall, winked at Li Xueyan, and the two of them came to Li Xueyan's villa.

"Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

“I just don’t feel right.”

Li Jingheng said in a deep voice, "Have you noticed that Eunuch Wang De is no longer by His Majesty's side?"

Li Xueyan thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "I really didn't see Eunuch Wang De."

Li Jingheng: "Your Majesty has great trust in Eunuch Wang De, and many things need to be delivered to Your Majesty through Eunuch Wang De."

"But now Eunuch Wang De is nowhere to be found. Could it be that he made a mistake and was arrested by His Majesty?"

"impossible?"

Li Xueyan thought for a moment, "Although Eunuch Wang De is highly valued by His Majesty, His Majesty is obviously returning to the city in secret. In this case, Eunuch Wang De will naturally stay at Jiucheng Palace."

"No, that's not right."

Li Jingheng shook his head. "When His Majesty traveled before, Eunuch Wang De always accompanied His Majesty!"

"Brother, what you mean is that Eunuch Wang De was arrested by His Majesty?"

"Most likely."

"why is that?"

"I suspect it's because of the prince."

"Prince?"

Li Xueyan looked suspicious, "What does this have to do with the prince?"

Li Jingheng said slowly, "Think carefully, the ability to handle affairs and the leniency shown by the Crown Prince during his short time as regent are enough to make him a great ruler."

"Logically speaking, since the Crown Prince has performed so well, Your Majesty should return to Chang'an City with everyone in Jiucheng Palace!"

"However, His Majesty returned quietly. Does this prove that His Majesty is worried about the Crown Prince?"

Li Xueyan seemed to be thinking about something.

The prince has performed so well. As a father, Your Majesty should be very pleased and happy. Naturally, there is no need to think too much about the prince.

Just follow the news from the palace and return to the palace on time.

But now he came back secretly, without even bringing his most trusted eunuch Wang De with him.

This is intriguing.

Li Jingheng asked again: "Do you still remember the ambush between two groups of merchants from Persia and the Arab Empire some time ago?"

Li Xueyan nodded, "It seems that it is not just because of the feud between Persia and the Arab Empire."

"It was because of the explosives."

Li Jingheng said slowly, "I guess His Majesty's return this time is most likely for Su Chen or the Crown Prince."

Li Xueyan's face changed, "What should I do?"

Li Jingheng whispered, "You arrange for someone to quietly go to the Prince's Residence and inform Su Chen of the news that His Majesty has returned."

Li Xueyan was shocked, "Brother, this..."

"Do you want to see Su Chen thrown into prison by His Majesty?"

"I understand!"

……

Main hall.

Li Shimin drank his tea with a smile on his face, and so did Li Daozon and others, without being anxious or impatient.

Until Changsun Wuji could no longer hold back, "Your Majesty, what are we waiting for?"

Li Shimin smiled, put down his teacup, looked at Li Dao Zong and said, "What do you think?"

Li Dao Zong had a calm expression: "Wait for someone to tip off!"

Changsun Wuji was shocked, as what he said unfortunately came true.

The purpose of Li Shimin's trip to Jiangxia Palace was to let Li Xueyan inform Su Chen of his return!

"What does the prince mean?"

"Of course it's Snow Goose."

Li Dao Zong sighed, "The reason why your majesty came here is because of the relationship between Xue Yan and Su Chen."

"Jing Heng is also good."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "This kid looks mediocre, but he always has a sharp mind at critical moments."

"I think the brothers and sisters should be plotting to send the news of my return to Su Chen."

"I still don't quite understand."

Chang Sun Wuji shook his head. "Even if he knew that His Majesty had returned, what good would it do?"

Li Shimin said calmly: "It will be of great use."

"I want to see if they have the courage to surround the Jiangxia Palace."

Changsun Wuji took a breath.

and so.

Your Majesty, do you think that the Crown Prince is planning a rebellion?!
"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Sun Wuji immediately said: "Su Chen is just a businessman. Although he has the support of the crown prince, the crown prince is pure and filial. How could he do such a treasonous act?"

Li Shimin: "Wait."

Changsun Wuji only felt cold in his hands and feet. If Su Chen really did such a thing, the sky of Chang'an City would collapse.

At this time.

A servant came in from outside and said, "Sir, the young lady left through the back door."

Hearing this, Li Dao Zong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Majesty, you really guessed it right."

Li Shimin smiled calmly, "Xueyan is just like you. Knowing that her beloved is in danger, she is bound to be worried and confused."

Li Daozon shook his head and remained silent.

"So, do you think the prince will bring people here?" I was confused.

Changsun Wuji felt so exhausted that his entire body became numb and his blood circulation was blocked.

In response to Li Shimin's question, no one present spoke in response.

Li Shimin seemed to have known this would be the result, and said nothing, silently watching the snowflakes outside.

……

"The princess?"

"It's me. Is Su Chen here?"

"Young Master is..."

Li Xueyan rushed into the Prince's Residence in a hurry without waiting for the doorman to finish his words.

When Li Xueyan saw Su Chen, who was smiling and inviting the prince and others to eat hotpot, she was stunned.

It’s already this late, and you still have the mood to gather here to eat hotpot?

"Sister Xueyan?"

"Greetings to the Crown Prince, Princess Changle..."

Li Xueyan bowed and winked at Su Chen quickly.

Li Lizhi teased, "Sister Xueyan, did you come here specifically to see Master Su?"

"Yes."

Li Xueyan nodded, "I have something I want to talk to him about."

Su Chen smiled and stood up, "Sorry, I'll be back soon."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and didn't care about it.

Li Lizhi said with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince, you brought me here to eat hot pot today, but we came at the wrong time."

"Why do you say that?"

"Look, Sister Xueyan has come to see Master Su. I think she wants to invite Master Su to enjoy the snow together."

"Is it?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I don't think so."

……

"Why did you come here in the snow?"

Su Chen smiled and raised his hand to brush away the snow on Li Xueyan, and asked with a smile: "You look so anxious, but what big thing happened?"

Li Xueyan: "Your Majesty is back."

Su Chen remained indifferent.

Li Xueyan: "His Majesty is in the Jiangxia Palace."

Su Chen frowned strangely, "In the Jiangxia Palace?"

Li Xueyan nodded heavily, "Eunuch Wang De, who has always been with His Majesty, has disappeared. Only Lord Wei Zheng and a dozen others are with him."

"Master Changsun is also among them."

strangeness.

Since Li Shimin was back, it was understandable that he did not go to the palace, but why did he go to the Prince of Jiangxia's Palace?

Looking at Li Xueyan with a nervous face, Su Chen suddenly had an idea.

I guess he did it on purpose.

It was also his arrangement that Li Xueyan was able to send this message out, right?
and so.

Is he testing the prince?

Su Chen rubbed his head and asked, "Did you come here for this matter?"

Li Xueyan nodded, "My elder brother said that His Majesty came back this time, most likely for the Crown Prince, for you."

"Because the previous explosive incident may have attracted His Majesty's attention, making His Majesty worried about you and the Crown Prince."

Su Chen smiled and said, "You are worrying too much."

Li Xueyan shook her head. "My eldest brother and I discussed this for a long time before we decided on this matter."

"Don't worry about that. The prince is still waiting for us."

"But……"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Su Chen smiled, took Li Xueyan back to the main hall, and ordered someone to prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Li Xueyan.

Li Lizhi said with a smile, "Sister Xueyan, please take my side."

Li Xueyan sat down hesitantly, but her eyes were still fixed on Su Chen, as if she wanted to see through what Su Chen was thinking.

"Could it be that Sister Xueyan only has Master Su in her eyes and no longer has her sister?"

Li Lizhi looked at Li Xueyan teasingly, causing Li Xueyan to blush, "No, no."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Since you are here, let's try it together."

Li Xueyan had no choice but to calm down and picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

Li Chengqian said casually: "Father may have returned to Chang'an City."

Su Chen: "I'm back. I'm in the King Jiangxia's Mansion."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Xueyan and said with a smile, "I guess it's because Father hasn't seen Uncle Wang for a long time, so he went to Uncle Wang's house to visit him."

"By the way, the weather is getting colder and colder, and we don't know how long this snow will last. I have discussed with Duan Lun and others from the Ministry of Industry, and we plan to build some temporary housing after the snow stops, and move out the people whose houses show signs of collapse."

"Good thing."

Su Chen nodded and said, "For a temporary residence, it won't take long. I suggest using bricks as walls and wooden planks as the roof. It will be relatively quick."

"I think so too."

Li Chengqian smiled and picked up the wine glass. "By the way, Xueyan, what delicious food and wine has Uncle Wang prepared to entertain Father?"

Li Xueyan: "They are drinking tea."

"Tea?"

Li Chengqian sighed, looked at the snow outside, and said with a smile: "Hegan Chengji."

"The humble position is here."

"Prepare some ingredients and soup base, and send them to Father and Uncle Wang."

Li Chengqian pondered and said, "By the way, also move a few jars of the good wine in Su Chen's cellar and send them over."

"Let Father and Uncle Wang and the others try it together. What a hot pot with good wine in the snow."

"Yes."

Hegan Chengji nodded and left.

Ah this...

Li Xueyan was stunned.

"Brother Prince, why do you have to do this?"

Li Lizhi rolled her eyes at Li Chengqian, "You're angry with father again."

"He doesn't believe me."

Li Chengqian drank it all in one gulp, "Li Zhi, don't you think I did a good enough job?"
