"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door. Li Xuan and Zhao Gong raised their heads at the same time and looked out the door in surprise.
Zhao Gong quickly walked to the door, opened it, took a look, and closed the door directly.
Turning around, Li Xuan saw a wax pill in Zhao Gong's hand. He squeezed the wax pill open and revealed a small note.
After just one glance, Zhao Gong's expression changed slightly and he raised his head to look at Li Xuan: "Princess Ying came out of the palace before noon, but as soon as she returned, someone from the Ying Palace fell ill. Princess Chang Le has already passed. Lang, do you think we should also go there to visit the patient?"
"Don't go, uncle, listen to me, really don't go." Li Xuan stood up, walked over and held down Zhao Gong's arm.
Li Xuan shook her head solemnly, and there was even a trace of worry on her face: "The British Princess disappeared inexplicably for several days in the palace, and even His Majesty didn't know what happened. Uncle, be careful! "
"Huh?" Zhao Gong frowned slightly, looked at the content on the note again, and asked uncertainly: "Is Princess Ying's condition very serious?"
"When I left Zhenguan Hall before, I saw Wang Fulai's face was very ugly." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "Wang Fulai is an old man in the palace. During the time of the late emperor, he was already an old man in the palace. One of the chief servants, there are not many things that can change his color. When I was in the palace before, I had a vague feeling that the situation of the Princess of England was very bad, and now you say that she is sick. "
"The Queen?" Zhao Gong couldn't help but lost his voice, but then denied it: "No, it can't be the Queen of Heaven. The prince died of illness not a few days ago. If something happens to the Princess of England again at this time, it will be the Queen of Heaven." There’s going to be big trouble.”
"Someone inserted their hands into the palace." After Li Xuan finished speaking, even she looked in disbelief: "If this is true, how did they avoid the Queen's sight?"
Today, the entire Tang Dynasty is under the control of the Queen of Heaven.
Although Emperor Riji's restraint made her unable to do many things, the Queen knew the true situation of everything very clearly.
But now, something went wrong in the palace right under her nose.
"A while ago, the prince just died of illness. The rumors about the queen poisoning her parents and children have spread throughout the Tang Dynasty in a very short time. If now, there are rumors about the queen treating the British princess harshly, leading to her death. , I don’t know how much dirty water will be poured on the queen’s head.”
Li Xuan reached out and picked up the Luoyang black tea placed aside, took a sip, and said softly: "Uncle, I think you are probably going to be busy recently."
Although there was some worry on Zhao Gong's face, he still waved his hand: "If something really happens, it is the internal guard's business and has nothing to do with our secret guards."
In the palace, the inner guards are responsible for protecting the royal family, the secret guards are responsible for investigating the local area, and the one responsible for operations is Baiqisi.
"What if I said that this matter is also related to the case of Luoyang County Captain's family being exterminated!" Li Xuan said lightly, which directly made Zhao Gong's expression change.
Although Zhao Gong was one of the secret guard commanders, he was not the real officer in charge, and the case of the Luoyang County Lieutenant's extermination was not his responsibility.
However, if the matter affects him, it means that the matter has affected many wealthy families, princes and nobles.
If you are not careful, you don’t know how many people will fall to the ground with their heads bleeding.
In the palace, the King of England and the Prince have all been involved.
Once it breaks out, no one knows how many wealthy families, princes and nobles will be exterminated.
Zhao Gong's face calmed down. He frowned and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to take this opportunity to push for the abolition of the queen? Wasn't the lesson learned last time profound enough?"
The last time someone pushed for the abolition of the queen was ten years ago. In the end, Shangguan Yi and his son Shangguan Tingzhi were executed, and his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er and his mother Zheng were expelled from Yeting and made into slaves.
"The kings of the clan are going to be roasted on the fire now. They can't avoid this kind of thing." Li Xuan shook her head and said thoughtfully: "I don't think anyone is really stupid enough to think that they can still promote the abolition of Finally, I think it’s more likely that someone wants to use the Queen’s sword to kill the kings.”
"Who is it?" Zhao Gong blurted out immediately,
Obviously, he didn't realize the terrible plan behind it.
"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head and said worriedly: "There are not enough clues to make any inferences. There are too many interested people."
Perhaps this caring person may even be the Queen herself.
Perhaps the Queen is waiting for the opportunity to wipe out all the opposition forces.
"Dalang, the Nanchang Palace may have been far away from the clan kings in various places in recent years, but the clan..." Although Zhao Gong is the commander of the palace secret guards, he is from the Qinghe Zhao family and is also a member of a wealthy family.
The Queen of Heaven has always had a ruthless attitude towards the powerful families. If there is no clan to stand in front of them, then they will face the Queen of Heaven's butcher's knife alone.
"Uncle, it's actually not that complicated. As long as the truth of the case is revealed before the clan kings from all over the country meet, the clan kings will naturally have no excuses to have a fit. Those people are all smart people, they were just framed. Just give them the right ladder and they will climb down."
Li Xuan knew clearly from the outside that these people in Li Tang's clan had been beaten by the Queen over the years. They might complain, but they really didn't dare to make a clear-cut resistance.
Unless Wu Zetian does something that is not allowed by nature and makes them think that as long as she raises her arms and the world will follow, they will resist.
However, when that time comes, I am afraid that the entire world will be conquered by Wu Fu.
The only thing that deserves Li Xuan's attention in this matter is that he doesn't want these people to collapse too quickly. Just like aristocratic families in the world, he also needs someone to stand in front of him and attract Wu Zetian's attention.
Zhao Gong breathed a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly said in surprise: "But what if the Queen wants to deal with them?"
Zhao Gong finally thought of the most terrifying possibility, and his expression suddenly became extremely terrifying!
"If it really comes to the point of necessity, I will go there personally and I can always convince those Uncle Wangs." Li Xuan shook her head lightly and said, "Uncles Wang just need a step down. When the time comes, Even if you make up a story, you can dissuade them."
"That's good!" Zhao Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked again: "What about Prince Ying's Mansion?"
"You don't have to go, just find two good Korean ginseng and send them over. The rest, the imperial doctor in the palace will take care of it... If even the imperial doctor can't handle it, then it's useless for anyone to go." Li Xuan There was a look of solemnity on his face.
Right now, the condition of the Princess of England is the most important thing.
"Princess Chang Le will not let it go." Zhao Gong's expression changed slightly. If Princess Chang Le got involved angrily at this time, and the kings of the clan were also involved, everything would be even more difficult to calm down.
"General Zuo Qianniu will calm her down."
Zhao Gong looked at Li Xuan in surprise. Indeed, although Princess Chang Le was the sister of the late emperor, she was already married after all. If she refused to let go, General Zuo Qianniu Zhao Gui would definitely be implicated.
The children of aristocratic families have always been very sober.
"Bang bang bang..." The door was knocked again, and Cui's voice sounded outside: "Da Lang, someone is coming from Chang'an!"
A smile appeared on Li Xuan's face: "Uncle, my people are here."
Li Xuan originally set out from Nanchang and drove more than a thousand miles, but more manpower from the Nanchang Palace was still floating on the canal, so he wrote to Chang'an at the same time and transferred some of the people who stayed at Prince Peng's Mansion in Chang'an. .
