The arrogant wife dares to play the evil emperor

Chapter 152 Chapter 152

The father would also send his fifth younger brother to welcome his army back to the court after victory, but he temporarily changed the time of entering the city.

In order to avoid his father's suspicion, he has already sent a memorial to tell his father that he will return to the city one day in advance before the army. Besides his father, who else will know the day of his return?

Those who are interested should know it, such as the prince...

It's just that he was a little surprised that the prince who usually had no opinions dared to do such a cruel thing to him.Could it be that the Li family is behind the scenes acting as the vanguard for the prince?
"Qing Feng, this time the hall was assassinated and poisoned on the way, we must investigate and get the evidence, the hall doesn't want to die in an unclear manner."

Opening his eyes again, his eyes were cold.

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

The next day, the second prince was assassinated on the way back to court one day earlier, which shocked the entire Eastern Emperor's court. Everyone speculated who the person who dared to assassinate the second prince would be.

The first object of suspicion is the crown prince. The second prince has a high level of merit. If His Majesty awards him a reward, won't it affect the crown prince's status?

Besides, His Majesty has been very dissatisfied with the Crown Prince over the years. If he hadn't taken care of the Empress and the Li family, the Crown Prince's position would have been unstable long ago.

It is very possible for the prince to choose to strike when the second prince returns to court.

There are no capable generals around the prince, but the people who assassinated the second prince are reported to be ruthless, like well-trained dead soldiers, who has this ability in the ruling and opposition circles?
None other than the Li family.

Therefore, the Li family...or Li Chen was the first person suspected of acting as the crown prince's vanguard.

Upon receiving this news, Prime Minister Li Chen was well prepared when he went to court, but he still could not be condemned. Among them, the imperial censor Zhang Yuanbai impeached him the most.

Xuanyuanxing was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation, and Li Chen could only act open-minded in the face of the emperor's anger, and said that in order to avoid suspicion, he was willing to go home to recuperate temporarily, and put aside the affairs of the court... But Xuanyuanxing did not agree, and still let him Li Chen took the post of prime minister.

After going to court, Li Chen found his disciples and his beloved son Li Xiuhan to discuss the matter.

Hall of stars.

This is the meeting hall of the Li Mansion, and most important matters are discussed here.

There are countless diners in Li's residence, and now the diners that Li's residence relies on are all invited to be Li Chen's house guests, offering suggestions for Li's residence.

Among them, the chief counselor, Zhou Zhizheng, was the most daring, and he dared to ask Li Chen directly, "As for the assassination of the second prince, I dare to ask the Prime Minister, did you do it or not?"

"If you did it, you wouldn't be wronged to bear the charge, but the truth is that you didn't do it."

Li Chen's face changed with anger.

It's not that he didn't think about killing Xuanyuan Wuqing on his way home, but if he didn't think about it, he would kill Xuanyuan Wuqing, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Thinking of Xuanyuan's ruthless strength, and the many masters he had fought for many years, he finally did not move.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Wuqing was assassinated, who is it?
Who is behind the scenes, and put this charge on Prince Wushuang and their Li family?

Obviously, the person who made the move in this situation wanted Xuanyuan Wuqing to compete with Prince Wushuang, so that the fisherman could benefit.

"The prime minister said he didn't do it, and we all believed it."

Zhou Zhizheng and others are Li Chen's confidantes and have worked for the Li family for many years. He believes Li Chen's words are true.

And if Li Chen really did it, he should have discussed such important matters with them in advance, but Li Chen has never told them about it. On the contrary, there are a few diners who are not on the table, and they have been urging the Li family to send people to assassinate The second prince, but Li Chen did not meet them, and even ordered them to be driven out of the mansion.
