The night is already dark.
There were no pedestrians on the street anymore. Only once in a while, a group of Jinwu Guard patrol soldiers and the watchman passed by.
Changsun Mansion.
The yard was dark and quiet, even the sound of insects disappeared, as if everything had fallen asleep.
But if you look closely, it's surprising.
Lying on the beams were all dead soldiers who blended in with the night.
They carried long knives on their waists and held crossbows in their hands. Even at the highest point, there were two sharp archers lying on their backs.
And in this large courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
Regardless of whether it is the front yard or the backyard, in every house, looking towards the windows or door cracks, there are flashing silver arrows.
Looking at the rockery and pond in the yard, there are also dead soldiers holding horizontal swords.
Everyone is integrated into the night. There is no other reason tonight than to kill all the assassins who want to sneak into the Changsun Mansion for their master.
In the passage leading from the study to the underground, oil lamps were lit, emitting a faint light.
The passage spiraled down until it was two feet deep, and then it reached a beautifully decorated room.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji was sitting opposite the prince. There was no trace of worry on his face, and he was even a little happy.
Li Ke has done something wrong for himself, and he doesn't even need to take action. He will definitely kill himself this time!
Fortunately, he learned the news and immediately brought the prince to him, otherwise the prince might not survive tonight.
But at this moment, Li Chengqian was restless and frightened.
Unexpectedly, the third brother is going to kill him tonight?
It's so abominable. The most I can do is think about it. After all, I can't kill you without anyone in my hands.
But you, you beast, actually sent someone to kill him?
How much hatred do I have against you?
If his uncle hadn't picked him up from the East Palace, he would probably be a cold corpse at this moment.
But now, it’s not much better!
The third brother's people have already learned that he has arrived at his uncle's house. At this moment, the third brother's people are surrounded outside Changsun's house.
Even if he wanted to send a message to his father or the ministers who supported him, he couldn't.
Several of his subordinates charged several times and were either shot to death or hacked to death.
Changsun Chong and the family members of Changsun's family were all sitting or standing, listening to the movements outside, and they were extremely scared in their hearts.
"Uncle, are we just going to wait like this?"
After all, Li Chengqian couldn't hold it back and asked with a worried look.
Changsun Wuji sighed, his nephew was really not as good as the King of Shu, not even the King of Yue.
He stood up and looked at the prince, and said angrily: "Prince, how many times have I told you, as a prince, what you seek is stability."
"You must be calm when encountering problems. The more critical the moment, the more you must calmly analyze the pros and cons and keep the initiative in your hands at all times."
"Now we have the initiative and wait for Li Ke to take action. Once his people dare to come in, huh, I guarantee that he will never come back."
"His Royal Highness, as long as we survive tonight, your position as Crown Prince will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it."
"The unlucky person can only be the King of Shu."
"Maybe this time, the King of Shu can help you clear the way. From now on, when you sit in that position, you will no longer have to look at the faces of the five surnames and Qi Wang."
"Yes, what uncle taught me is..."
Li Chengqian sat back on what he was doing and waited quietly.
But he was very scared in his heart!
Just like this, Changsun Wuji closed his eyes and said nothing for the duration of a stick of incense.
Li Chengqian looked at his uncle and asked again: "Uncle, I still don't understand why the King of Shu suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill me?"
It stands to reason that if the King of Shu kills him, his father will never pass the throne to the King of Shu, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will never agree.
As for the King of Shu's desire to imitate his father and force him to take the throne, it's not that he looks down on the King of Shu, but that the King of Shu doesn't have the strength.
Changsun Wuji opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
"yes!"
"Uncle got the news today that Li Shuwan is pregnant."
Li Chengqian's eyes widened and he said it was impossible.
He knew this best. When the King of Shu came back from Qi, he was favored by Aweng and his father. His father even said that Li Ke was the person most like him.
Why, isn’t Li Chengqian your son?
He was the eldest brother and also the prince. When Li Ke saw him, he just didn't want to be polite and even teased him.
What he said secretly is that throughout the history of the dynasties, no prince was lame.
The prince is the face of the royal family and the face of a country.
He was so angry at that time that he wanted to ruin Li Ke's reputation and take revenge on Li Ke, the king of Shu.
At that time, he asked his uncle for advice, but his uncle impatiently said that if he could just find the daughter of a foreign minister, let the King of Shu sleep with him, and then tell his Majesty and the Queen, wouldn't it be done?
So he did it according to his uncle's method.
Li Jing's daughter often attacked Changle to find her younger sister. When he left the palace, he had someone tie him to Li Ke's bed.
But in the conscience of heaven and earth, that guy Li Ke was drugged so hard that he slept like a dead pig.
Li Shuwan was also drugged. When the two of them were together, his man was watching from outside. When he woke up, he rushed in to catch the rapist. Both of them didn't take off their clothes, and they were very pregnant.
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly: "My uncle doesn't believe that Li Jing's daughter will be pregnant, but the fact is that today Li Jing went to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor and said that his daughter was pregnant and asked His Majesty to issue an order to get married early."
"Later, my uncle went to inquire about it and learned from Li Jing's house that Li Shuwan was pregnant."
Li Chengqian couldn't hold it back and said with a smile: "Hahaha...Uncle, so the third brother was cuckolded?"
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, hey, is the prince a pig brain?
Can you still laugh at this time?
The King of Shu suspected who would cuckold him?
Li Chengqian smiled but couldn't stop laughing. The smile froze on his cheeks. He pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "Third brother, he won't suspect that I did it, right?"
Changsun Wuji saw that the prince could think of this and it was not hopeless: "What do you think?"
Holy shit!
Li Chengqian took a deep breath. No wonder his third brother went crazy and wanted to kill him. Who can bear this matter?
But he was wronged.
Changsun Wuji continued: "So, after I learned the news, I immediately picked you up from the East Palace."
Li Chengqian was sweating on his forehead, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle, for saving your life."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, it's time to sit down now. We only have one word, wait!"
"Wait to see King Shu's joke!"
Li Chengqian nodded, but he was very depressed in his heart. He was not the one who did this in the first place, and it had to be blamed on him.
But when he thought of his third brother being cuckolded, he felt happy. During this period, he always suffered a loss when he fought with his third brother, and his third brother finally suffered once.
Changsun Wuji closed his eyes again.
He was thinking that there must be a huge conspiracy behind Li Shuwan's pregnancy.
The purpose of this conspiracy is to cause His Majesty to lose his two sons.
Or even three.
"Master, there are more and more people outside, and they are almost approaching the courtyard wall."
"Boom...boom!"
There was a harsh sound of a gong from outside, one slowly and two quickly, a total of three times, indicating that it was the third watch of the day. (Eleven o'clock at night.)
"Blow the gong to signal, close the doors and windows."
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
"Go to bed early and get up early, exercise..."
As the watchman's voice faded away, Changsun Wuji opened his eyes. It was almost time for the son's time. I was afraid that the King of Shu would attack the Changsun Mansion during the child's time and kill the prince.
"Tell everyone to continue hiding. Once someone sneaks in, shoot them to death with random arrows!"
"yes……"
The housekeeper left quickly and went out to inform everyone.
