royal palace.
Shou'an Hall.
Accompanied by the old eunuch Zhao Jie, Mu Yuan walked up to the main hall, bowed respectfully, and said, "Father!"
"Get up, what's the matter?"
Emperor Shang raised his head and glanced at the eldest son in front of him, and said with an indifferent expression.
"Report to Father."
Mu Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice, "My son has found out that the Li family is colluding with the demon clan!"
In front of the chess table, Emperor Shang frowned and said, "Is there any evidence?"
"In the inner courtyard of Li Garden." Mu Yuan said seriously.
"The Li family can't be moved just because they want to."
Emperor Shang stared at the eldest son in front of him and said calmly, "If he moves, nothing will be found, and it will cause a lot of trouble. You should know that the war in the north will restart soon. I don't want too many unnecessary things here in the capital." things happen."
"I am confident that I will make this matter a reality."
Mu Yuan said seriously, "However, I need my father's permission."
After hearing this, Emperor Shang looked thoughtful. After a long moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, but I will not give you any orders."
"Thank you, Father."
Mu Yuan knelt down and saluted, saying, "My son, please retire."
"Go ahead."
Emperor Shang said calmly, "Be careful. The third son of the Li family is back. The Li family is very difficult to deal with now."
"My son understands."
Mu Yuan responded, then turned and left.
Outside the Shou'an Palace, the old eunuch Zhao Jie saw the eldest prince walking out and quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, has your Majesty agreed?"
"accepted."
Mu Yuan nodded and said, "It's just that I have to do it myself and will not give any orders. My father is still so far-sighted."
There is no will, and if it succeeds, the father will reap the benefits. However, if it fails, he will bear all the consequences.
Inside Shouan Hall.
Emperor Shang looked at the intricate situation on the chessboard and frowned slightly.
In the Nanling group, Huo and Lin, two ministers, were all killed in Nanling. King Yunyi was also seriously injured and lost an arm. The strength of the two sons of the Li family exceeded expectations.
In addition, the battle between the Li family's legitimate son and Huo Lin'er was beyond everyone's expectations. The Li family's legitimate son defeated the Suzaku Saint, which can be said to have pushed the Li family's momentum to its peak.
Today's Li family, both in strength and momentum, is far beyond what it used to be, and it's difficult to move.
There is also the woman brought back from Nanling by the legitimate son of the Li family. The strength of the fourth girl of the Li family, Li Huanzhu, is even more of a mystery.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Third Highness wishes to see you."
at this time.
A young eunuch came in and saluted respectfully.
"The third child?"
When Emperor Shang heard the little eunuch's announcement, he looked strange and said, "Let him come in."
"yes!"
The little eunuch accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, the third prince Mu Yao walked into the palace and saluted respectfully, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
"Get up."
Emperor Shang looked at the third son in front of him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Father, a monster appears again in the capital."
Mu Yao said seriously, "My son came here to ask my father for orders, allowing me to supervise this matter and clean out all the hidden monsters in the capital in one fell swoop."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Emperor Shang had a strange look on his face and said, "Any clues?"
"Er Chen's spies found some traces of the demon clan."
Mu Yao said seriously, "However, I believe that these are just small fish and shrimps. If the monster can gain a foothold in the capital, there must be someone with a very high status to help. I can only continue the investigation with the permission of my father." "
After hearing what the three sons in front of him said, Shang Huang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Okay, go check it out."
"Thank you very much, Father. I will take my leave."
Mu Yao saluted again, then turned and left.
"strangeness."
In front of the chess table, Shang Huang looked at Lao San's leaving figure, a hint of confusion flashed in his sinister eyes.
Is it possible that the third child and the eldest child both discovered that the Li family was colluding with the demon clan?
The Li family's defenses were so tight, how did they discover it?
That’s all.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to let them compete with the Li family.
Soon, Shang Huang recovered his thoughts and continued to focus on the chess game in front of him.
at the same time.
On the streets of the capital city.
The carriage rumbled past and stopped in a corner far away from the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Huanzhu, you go ahead."
On the carriage, Li Ziye looked at the woman in front of him and smiled, "I'll wait for you here."
"Um."
Huanzhu nodded and stepped out of the carriage.
As he walked, Huanzhu's face changed rapidly. Soon, the weak look disappeared and turned into a domineering face.
When Huanzhu arrived at the third prince's residence, the guards in front of the residence saw the person coming and no one dared to stop him.
"Seventh Aunt."
In the mansion, when the servants saw Huanzhu walking by, they all saluted with fear in their expressions.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you go and do something?"
Huanzhu glanced at the servants in front and said coldly.
"Yes Yes."
The servants immediately nodded and accepted the order and left in a hurry.
soon.
Huanzhu walked to a small courtyard, opened the door and walked in.
The furnishings in the room are quite luxurious, but they also give people a gaudy feeling.
Qi Gu is a servant of the third prince's house, but she is in charge of many servants. She is not considered a master, but she is unwilling to be a slave. Her contradictory psychology is vividly reflected in Qi Gu.
Huanzhu walked around Qi Gu's room, took something casually, and then turned around and left.
Along the way.
No one noticed anything unusual.
Not long after, Huanzhu left the Third Prince's Mansion, came to the corner at the end of the street, and stepped onto the carriage.
"Brother."
Huanzhu handed over the thing in his hand and said with a smile, "No one noticed."
"sharp."
Li Ziye chuckled and said, "Let's go back home."
"drive."
The driver drove the carriage towards Li Yuan.
"Brother, why do you let me do these things?"
In the carriage, Huanzhu asked in confusion.
"The test tests your disguise skills and ability to adapt to changes."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Of course, I'll cause some trouble for the Third Prince's Mansion by the way."
The sun sets in the west.
In the Third Prince's Mansion, a piercing scream sounded.
"Who stole my aunt's double cloud jade bracelet!"
Under the setting sun, the Third Prince's Mansion was abuzz with excitement, and all the servants were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
"Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me!"
In the backyard, Qigu came running, crying with snot and tears, "Those cloud jade bracelets were given to the slave by the imperial concubine before she entered the palace. The slave has been reluctant to take them with her for fear of accidentally breaking them. Unexpectedly, It was actually stolen by thieves."
"Have you lost the pair of double-cloud jade bracelets that your concubine gave you?"
When Mu Yao heard this, he looked surprised and said, "How is it possible? Who dares to steal your things in this mansion? Did you put them somewhere and forget them?"
"Impossible, Your Highness, I have always kept the pair of jade bracelets in the jewelry box and kept them carefully. I have to look at them every day. There is no way they will be lost." Qi Gu continued to cry.
Mu Yao frowned, looked outside, and said, "Here comes someone!"
"Your Highness."
A guard came over and saluted respectfully.
"Gather all the servants together and search them one by one."
Mu Yao said coldly, "You dare to do such sneaky things in this prince's palace. I'm really tired of living."
"yes!"
The guard took the order and immediately turned and left.
At night.
The Grand Prince's Mansion.
A figure in green with long hair half-covered glanced over. He looked at a pair of jade bracelets in his hands and frowned.
This young master is getting more and more mischievous.
He even stole other women's accessories and sent them to the eldest prince's palace. I don't know what he was doing.
Is this thing worth a trip in person for the leader of the five great shadow killers?
