Custodes camp.
"His Royal Highness, I wonder if your Highness has come to the camp in person. What orders do you have?" The leader of the imperial army immediately came to greet the prince upon seeing him.
"You are the prince, can't you come to the camp and have a look? Besides, why do you imperial army dare to take the guards of Gudong Palace?" the prince said coldly.
"Your Highness, forgive me. This was a misunderstanding. I have issued an order to return the freedom of the East Palace guards." The leader of the Imperial Guards said quickly.
On the way here, the prince already knew that the guards of the East Palace had been released and the Forbidden Army camp was also blocked by the Forbidden Army. It was precisely for this reason that he wanted to come to the Forbidden Army camp to take a look.
"When my father went to Chonghe Palace and asked your imperial army to listen to Gu's orders, did you really listen to Gu's orders? Who dared to attack Gu's East Palace? Who gave you the courage?" the prince scolded.
The leader of the Imperial Guard also quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am only following orders."
"Acting on orders? Whose orders?" the prince pressed.
The leader of the forbidden army was sweating coldly. He didn't know how to answer, or he didn't dare to answer.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" At this moment, Grand Eunuch Wang Chun's voice came, "They are under His Majesty's orders. If anything happens to Your Highness, you might as well come in and talk."
"You mean the emperor is here?" The prince deliberately walked towards Wang Chun with a surprised look on his face, "Why didn't I know this?"
"Your Highness, please go in with your servants to discuss in detail." Wang Chun bent down to salute and winked at the prince, indicating that it would be inconvenient to say some things outside.
The prince was silent for a moment. Even if his father was not dead, he had nothing to be afraid of. Then he followed Wang Chun into the innermost barracks.
"Your Highness, something happened to Your Majesty!" Wang Chun closed the door, knelt down and said tremblingly.
"What did you say? Something happened to my father?" The prince expressed surprise.
"It's Li Qian! He disguised himself as Lord Hong Bin and gave His Majesty... to..." Wang Chun couldn't say the next words, as if he had lost all his strength and collapsed there.
When the prince looked at Wang Chun, he didn't look like he was just pretending. He couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists, suppressing a burst of ecstasy in his heart. It seemed that Li Qi'an had really succeeded.
"Did your father leave any words?" Then, he squatted down and asked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, had known that His Majesty was here, right?" Wang Chun raised his head and asked weakly.
"My father didn't tell Gu, so how could Gu know." The prince said.
"Then how did Li Qian enter the palace?" Wang Chun asked.
"As you said just now, if Li Qian can disguise himself as Hong Bin, it won't be difficult for him to enter the palace." The prince said.
"Your Highness, please make the decision. The news of your Majesty's accident must not be known to anyone now, otherwise, the palace will be in chaos!" Wang Chun said, lying on the ground.
The prince looked at Wang Chun. At this moment, he really wanted to kill Wang Chun.
However, it is easy to kill Wang Chun. The palace will really be in chaos as Wang Chun said. At least it cannot be chaotic yet.
"Can you hide this matter?"
"It's a secret for a while. No one in the imperial army outside knows about it. I can still issue orders in the name of your majesty. Of course, this order is the prince's order." Wang Chun said.
The prince smiled, Wang Chun indeed could not die yet.
"Yes, it's not time to let them know yet, but Li Qian will bring the news to Dou Huaishan. What do you think we should do?"
"As long as the news from outside does not reach the palace, no one will know. Besides, doesn't His Highness intend to avenge His Majesty? Now the troops in the capital can be deployed by His Highness. When the situation stabilizes, there is no need to hide it anymore!" Wang Chuntao said.
The prince's eyes sparkled with smiles, "Of course I want revenge, I want to kill Li Qi'an and Dou Huaishan in one fell swoop!"
"Remember, who is your master now!"
He patted Wang Chun on the shoulder and left.
Wang Chun got up from the ground and looked at the prince's leaving figure. It seemed that the prince was really different now than before.
Marquis Palace.
"Master Marquis, Li Qian is here!" his subordinate reported.
"It seems that he arrived faster than I thought." Dou Huaishan chuckled.
"Should we take action?" His subordinates couldn't help but ask.
"Do it?" Dou Huaishan took a sip of tea, "Did he come alone?"
The subordinate nodded, "I only saw him."
"He dares to come to see me alone. If we do it directly, wouldn't it be very rude? Let's go and follow me to greet him!" Dou Huaishan put down the tea cup and stood up.
He took two steps and paused, "Please be careful in the house!"
"Understood." His subordinate immediately said.
Outside the Hou Mansion.
Li Qian yawned, "Your Marquis is so arrogant, and he didn't let me in. He made me want to sleep while waiting here."
The Xizhou soldiers guarding the door were just full of vigilance.
It can be said that Li Qi'an's name has penetrated deeply into their hearts. Just hearing this name can make them panic, let alone him.
"Master Li, I have finally come to you!" Dou Huaishan laughed and walked out.
