He then issued a new order to Fu Yan: "You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Go find out what our Prince did to make your father so willing to punish the Prince severely."
“No!” Fu Yan accepted the order and immediately turned around and left the palace to do the work.
The chamberlain Haicang passed by Fu Yan at this moment, just in and out.
"Your Highness, the Queen, please come to Kunyi Palace." Haicang entered the palace and reported.
Li Heng glanced at the hourglass and saw that the time was approaching. He asked doubtfully: "Did the Queen Mother say something?"
Haicang reported the truth again: "It was the empress's oral message delivered by a little palace lady next to Huang Gongling. She didn't explain what happened."
"Let's go." Li Heng didn't ask any more questions and left anyway. One trip and you'll know.
In the Xuanpeng Palace, the chamberlain Du Chun was telling Li Luo in a low voice the news he had just received: "...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helped out of the imperial study by Chang Qing and has returned to the East Palace. His Highness the Second Highness has just brought I went to Kunyi Palace with Haicang. I heard that the Queen Mother had Please, there is still no movement from His Majesty Seventh Prince."
After listening, Li Luo looked at the guard Qiu Yan: "Dong Miao hasn't come back yet?"
"Shang... "Qiu Yan was just about to report back that he hadn't come back yet, when he was interrupted by a soft call from outside the palace.
"Your Highness." Dong Miao walked into the palace and returned in time.
Qiu Yan and Du Chun stepped back at the same time, taking two steps back to give up their seats under Li Luo's desk.
Dong Miao stepped forward quickly: "Your Highness, there is news."
"Say."
"Second Master Meng indeed met with General Qiao in Daxing County. The next day We continued our journey early in the morning, and not far away, we encountered a night attack not far from Daxing County, and all six of them were killed."
Li Luo frowned slightly: "All six dead soldiers were wiped out? Who was their target?"
"It was the Second Young Master Meng, but because of the help of General Qiao, he failed to succeed." Dong Dong Miao reported, "My subordinates also found out that the six dead men were all from the palace."
"Oh? Whose handiwork was it?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows.
Dong Miao understood that His Highness was asking whether the writing came from Hanxi Palace or Yandan Palace, but he had not found out yet: "My subordinates are incompetent. I don't know whether it is His Highness the Second or His Highness Seventh."
< br>Qiu Yan reported at the right time: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Seventh Prince summoned the Second Prince Xiang into the palace, but after the Second Prince Xiang left the palace, he did not take any action. I think it is more likely that it is His Highness."
< br>
Li Luo nodded and said nothing more.
In his heart, he actually preferred it to be the work of his second emperor brother.
Although he was always on guard against the Seventh Emperor Brother, this defense was far less than his guard against the Second Emperor Brother. In fact, it was indeed the Second Emperor Brother who was more likely.
Li Cong, who was always being watched by the two royal brothers, had already rested in Yandan Palace and slept soundly.
He summoned Xiang Zhao into the palace and indeed mentioned Meng Renji's study tour in Beijing, which also made Xiang Zhao pay more attention.
But just pay attention to it.
This is different from Li Heng and Li Luo who each sent their trusted guards to investigate and take action. No one around Li Cong himself moved, and Xiang Zhao also knew how to quietly carry out Li Cong's instructions.
So on the surface, the two emperor brothers want to hold his tail, whether it is the second emperor brother who he wants to rely on, or the fifth emperor brother who treats him indifferently. possible. In short, in front of them, he behaved absolutely calmly, well-behaved and clever.
Chu Zhi returned to Baolai Tower, told Meng Tianguan what Mrs. Meng meant, and then waited quietly beside her.
Xu Biao, who was following Ji Zhi, just like Chu Zhi, also stood by without any sense of presence.
"Your Majesty has been a little moody recently." Ji Zhi sighed and drank the jade liquid in the cup.
Meng Tianguan was holding a wine glass in his hand, and the glass was still full of jade liquor. He had been holding it for a while, but he didn’t drink it. His expression was slightly solemn and he said: “It’s not just moody, it’s thunderous, and it can happen at any time. "Everyone can fall."
Ji Zhi felt the same way: "I don't know how big that bastard in my family has done. What happened was that he was kept in the East Palace for three days in a row, and the same happened to Master Tianguan’s eldest grandson. I wonder if Master Tianguan knows the reason?”
“If you know...” Meng Tianguan put the wine glass back on the table. , the ending was filled with infinite worry, "Today, why did I leave the office so early to have a drink with Mr. Ji here."
When Ji Zhi heard this, his face suddenly turned into a ball of bitterness: "Then what should we do? My Ah Kuan is far inferior to your Ah Ping. If we really get into a big trouble, it will definitely be the worse for that bastard of mine."< br>
"Master Ji, this is too modest." Meng Tianguan did not accept Ji Zhi's trick of retreating in order to advance, "Left Mr. You will not go to the imperial study to directly remonstrate."
Ji Zhi choked and showed an embarrassed smile as if his trick had been exposed: "Then...wait?"
“Wait.” Old God Meng Tianguan was there, as if General Fang’s worries were just an illusion.
Ji Zhi secretly thought that Jiang was still too old. His eldest grandson didn’t know whether he was in danger or safe in the East Palace, but he could still be stable. Then he worried again, but he couldn’t be stable, so he was so embarrassed. For such an eldest son, what should I do if something unexpected happens?
But the old turtle just refused to stick his head out to explore the way. What could he do?
He wanted to directly admonish the imperial study, but he was afraid that he would get in or out.
If he can save his son, it will be worth it, but I am afraid that if he takes the risk, he will end up giving away his life in vain.
Of course, he also has another biggest concern...
Meng Tianguan glanced at Ji Zhi, whose brows were getting deeper and deeper, because Ji Zhi had invited him to have this meal. , he opened his mouth and said comfortingly: "Okay, now the situation is Until the situation is clear, it would be better for you and me to stay still. If this move does not help your son and my grandson, but instead hinders them and ruins the Crown Prince's important affairs, wouldn't it be wrong? Too late to regret it.”
"Master Tianguan is right." This is another biggest concern that Ji Zhi has not taken action yet.
The two of them are in the same officialdom, standing in the Jinluan Palace together, and are in the East Palace camp, and their thoughts and concerns are the same.
Meng Tianguan took a sip of jade liquor brewing: "According to my guess, there will be a result tonight."
"How do you say this?" Ji Zhi is the minister of Taichang Temple Although he was also the chief official of the Yamen, he was far less important than Meng Tianguan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in the court, and his knowledge of matters was far inferior to that of Meng Tianguan.
As soon as Meng Tianguan said that there would be a result tonight, he knew that there must be something happening that he didn't know about.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous. Even if they did make a big mistake, His Highness will protect them and their lives will not be lost." Meng Tianguan said emphatically, but did not directly answer Ji Zhi's question.
He was no longer a young official. Ji Zhi reacted and realized that there were things he didn't know, things that he couldn't know at the moment.
If Meng Tianguan doesn't say it, there are Meng Tianguan's reasons that he cannot know, and there are reasons that he cannot know.
