Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 291 Upheaval in the Palace (3)

Damn it, it's over!When Li Xian saw Gao Zong collapsed, his heart sank, because he knew very well that the best chance to bring down Empress Wu had been lost with Gao Zong's fall. It's very simple, it doesn't take much, as long as Gaozong is in a coma for a while, it is enough for Empress Wu to erase all valuable clues. If I want to meet such a good opportunity next time, I don't know when I will have to wait, but I am disappointed After being disappointed, Li Xian's reaction was not slow at all, he stood up quickly and exclaimed: "Father!"

"Come on, send the imperial physician quickly!"

Empress Wu's reaction was obviously not much slower than Li Xian's. She was still wiping away her tears calmly before, but when she saw Gao Zong collapsed, she immediately reached out to support Gao Zong's limp body, and cried out anxiously.

"promise!"

The officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who had rushed into the main hall after hearing Gaozong's call before saw Gaozong collapsed, all of them were in a mess, and they didn't care to ask Gaozong what the purpose of the previous summons was, so they rushed to respond. Uno, someone recruited all the imperial doctors who were waiting outside the hall into the hall, and they were busy around Gaozong, but because he didn't dare to do anything easily, Gaozong never woke up.

"Your majesty, your majesty is in so much grief that you fainted, you must take care of yourself, and you must not be stimulated again. I have already discussed several prescriptions, and I will let your majesty recuperate first. The ministers will make plans again."

A group of imperial physicians gathered around Gao Zongwang for a while, and after discussing in a low voice, the oldest imperial physician came forward to report.

"I'm sorry for your troubles, come here, and send your majesty back to the apse to rest immediately."

After hearing that Emperor Gaozong was fine, Empress Wu seemed greatly relieved, thanked the old doctor, and immediately shouted at the eunuchs who stood beside them in panic.

"Slaves and maidservants would like to obey your mother's order."

Most of the eunuchs waiting in the hall are the confidantes of Empress Wu, so naturally they would not object to Empress Wu's orders. As for the few newcomers promoted by Emperor Gaozong, even if they wanted to object, they didn't have the courage, so they could only be Each of them bowed their heads and failed to keep their promises. They rushed forward, hurriedly lifted Gaozong on the dragon bed, and turned to the apse.

"You all back down!"

As soon as Gao Zong left, Empress Wu's face immediately turned serious, and with an extremely cold wave of her hand, all the people in the hall were driven out of the hall, leaving Li Xian alone at the scene.

"Is it true that Xian'er said earlier that Sun Quanfu falsely preached the imperial decree?"

After everyone left, Empress Wu did not speak immediately, but sat on the dragon bed, looked at Li Xian indifferently for a while, and then asked calmly.

"When you return to your mother, the ministers dare not lie to your mother. All the people who have seen this matter, the general Xue Rengui of the Zuo Yulin Army and the hundreds of people under the command of Lang General Xue Tao have all witnessed it with their own eyes."

Li Xian was not afraid of Empress Wu's indifferent eyes, saluted meticulously, and replied with righteous indignation.

"Well, mother knows about this matter, and she will definitely not let Xian'er be wronged for nothing. Now that the crown prince has just left, your father and emperor... well, mother's heart is tense, anyway, mother will issue an order to investigate thoroughly. Xian'er, let's go back to the palace and wait." Empress Wu stretched out her right hand, stroked her forehead lightly, made a look of distress, sighed, and said something casually to send Li Xian away. .

All right?What a fart!How could Li Xian believe in Empress Wu's promise, let alone stay in such a dangerous place in the palace. You must know that this place has been operated by Empress Wu for many years, and the whole palace knows how many people belong to Empress Wu. Even if Li Xian wasn't afraid of the last accident, he still had to think about his two beautiful wives, but it was obviously not that easy to get out, seeing Empress Wu's posture, she didn't intend to let Li Xian out of the palace at all.

"Mother's Queen, as a prince, I should share my mother's worries. Today, the prince's elder brother has gone for no apparent reason. I beg your order to thoroughly investigate this matter, and beg for your mother's permission."

Li Xian knew very well that the only chance to escape smoothly was to use offense as defense, and the bet was that Empress Wu would not agree to his request. Not for the country, even if Empress Wu wiped the matter cleanly, Li Xian would not be able to find out a clue, and Empress Wu might not dare to take such a risk.

"I'm afraid it's not good for Xian'er to have such a heart. However, this matter cannot be handled by Xian'er. The matter of melon fields and plums must be guarded against. No need to say more, Xian'er should go back to the palace and wait. Mother's heart hurts, so I won't show any more."

Empress Wu immediately rejected Li Xian's request, and insisted on keeping Li Xian in the palace outrageously. Obviously, there must be other arrangements on the other side of Empress Wu.

"The queen mother taught me that the prince's elder brother has just left, and the court situation may change. If the child stays in the palace again, it is inevitable that the melon field will be suspected of being under the sun. In order to avoid the misunderstanding of the world, I beg the queen mother to allow the son to leave the palace and return to the mansion. .”

Li Xian was originally a generation with unparalleled eloquence, as soon as he caught a flaw in Empress Wu's words, he immediately unceremoniously attacked his shield with his spear.

"Forget it, mother agrees, I'm tired."

Empress Wu was so bullied by Li Xian, she couldn't get off the stage right away, she glanced at Li Xian coldly, seeing that Li Xian had no intention of backing down, her face inevitably became ugly, but she also took Li Xian who was stubborn and stubborn Obviously there is no way, in desperation, he can only wave his hands impatiently and issue the order to evict the guest.

"Mother, please mourn, and my son will leave."

Li Xian didn't want to stay any longer, and after saluting extremely respectfully, he resolutely withdrew from the Qianyuan Hall, not paying any attention to the venomous eyes coming from behind.

"The last general sees His Highness!"

When Li Xianxing arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, although the sun had not yet risen, the sky was already bright. The sharp-eyed Xue Tao saw Li Xian who was walking slowly for the first time. install.

"General Xue has worked hard."

Li Xian has a good impression of Xue Tao and other generals from the frontier army, and he doesn't hold any grudges because he led his troops to block him before. Xu raised his hand and replied kindly.

"Your Highness, Gao Hesheng and Eunuch Gao came earlier, saying that the Empress had an order to take the four father-in-laws who offended His Highness to be punished. In the end, the general dared not stop him, so please His Highness Haihan."

Xue Tao obviously felt ashamed. The more gentle Li Xian was, the more panicked he became. He blushed, lowered his head, not daring to look Li Xian in the eye, and stammered the report.

Damn old thief, your hands and feet are still really fast!Li Xian knew that he could not take advantage of the death of the prince to bring down Empress Wu, so he didn't care much about the death of the four thug-level eunuchs. Even so, Empress Wu wiped his tail so quickly Go, Li Xian still couldn't help being a little angry, but he couldn't get angry at Xue Tao, an outsider, so he could only reply indifferently: "I know, General Xue can just go and get busy."

"promise."

When Gao Hesheng came to lead people, Xue Tao did not hesitate, but he didn't have the guts to disobey Empress Wu's orders. He could only watch Gao Hesheng take all four suspects away, and he was always worried. Li Xian would not be able to deal with business after he came back. Seeing that Li Xian didn't seem to care, he was immediately relieved, and didn't dare to say any more, so he hurriedly responded, and retreated to the side of the road respectfully.

"Your Highness, you are back."

At the back hall of the Martial Fortune Hall, Gao Miao was running around in a hurry. Seeing Li Xian walking out of the corridor, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurried forward, and greeted him with concern. .

"Well, let's make arrangements, Gu will leave the palace now."

Li Xian was very relieved of Gao Miao's loyalty and ability to handle affairs, and did not explain, but ordered calmly.

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Although Gao Miao had never witnessed the conflict between Li Xian and Sun Quanfu, Gao Miao had seen the result in his own eyes. He knew that the palace was a dangerous place now, and knowing that he was able to leave, he was relieved a lot. Regardless of the reason, after answering, he hurriedly went to order the maids who were accompanying him to pack up and not mention it.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

In the dormitory, Zhao Qiong and Princess Mingyue were already fully dressed, and they were sitting on the edge talking in a low voice, when they saw Li Xian come out from the screen, they got up hurriedly, and blessed each other gracefully.

"Well, let's all get up, let's go, go back to the mansion."

Li Xian didn't want to worry the second daughter when he came, but he didn't intend to let the second daughter participate in the cruel game of court competition, so he didn't want to explain to the second daughter, he just waved his hand and ordered With a sound.

"Your Highness, what happened? I heard that the crown prince seems to have passed away, but is it true?"

Princess Mingyue was born in the royal family, so she knew that the Tian family had strict rules, so she dared not ask easily, but Zhao Qiong didn't have such scruples, and asked straightforwardly.

"Well, let's go back home."

The two generations are married, Li Xian is aware of Zhao Qiong's outspoken temperament, and he will not care about his recklessness, but he is absolutely unwilling to say more about it, he just responded vaguely, pressed his hand, and signaled Zhao Qiong not to Asking more, the two daughters dared not say any more when they saw this. After looking at each other, they hurriedly cleaned up in silence... "Bastard, who is messing around there!"

Li Xian never liked to get up early, and because he drank too much at the banquet yesterday, even though it was already broad daylight, Li Xian still fell asleep with his famous concubine in his arms, and he could hear the sound of the door playing in the dimly, Immediately, he became angry, lifted the thin quilt on his body, sat up suddenly, and cursed at the top of his voice, but the people outside the room not only did not stop knocking on the door, but knocked a little harder on the contrary, immediately Li Xian was completely annoyed, and jumped off the ground with bare feet, rushed to the door with a few strides, and yanked the door open, intending to give that short-sighted thing a ruthless blow.

"Your Highness, it's not good, something serious has happened, the crown prince is dead, dead..."

It was Zhang Che who knocked on the door outside the room. Seeing Li Xian opened the door, Zhang Che ignored Li Xian's anger and hurriedly yelled.

"what?"

As soon as Li Xian heard that the crown prince had died, Li Xian was immediately dumbfounded. Immediately, a burst of surprise mixed with ecstasy surged from the bottom of his heart unstoppably, and his eyes instantly shone with anticipation.
