Chapter 324: The lights are bright, perceive
I don't know what the maid thinks of Shu An, as for why she brought Wu Shun, then it was to let the maid adapt in advance.
Because under normal circumstances, if you are by your side, then you can't have less contact with Li Yuan or Li Shimin.
However, before stepping into Chang'an, Shu An had thought about all this, so he had some surprises.
.......
In fact, Li Shimin, who returned to the palace, was thunderous and angry, even at night, the entire palace was also brightly lit.
The light of the lights in the palace also made many people see it, after all, now that the night market is open, many people are staying on the streets of Chang'an.
"What's going on?"
"How can the palace be brightly lit."
"It's not a holiday tonight, something big must have happened."
.......
Some knowledgeable people frowned slightly when they saw the lights of the palace, and they spoke out one after another, with a worried look on their faces.
In particular, some ministers were even more worried about the complexion of their faces, could there really be something big, otherwise how could the palace be like this.
At this time, Sun Wuji, the eldest in the Zhao State Mansion, was also a little confused, the reason was very simple, His Majesty was still fine at the end of the court meeting.
There is also no major matter in today's recital, and His Majesty has not yet made public the national policy he has determined, and there is no one to stop him, so there is no need to make a big move.
"What's wrong?"
The eldest grandson Wuji muttered softly, the doubts in his words were still unresolved, and in the end he could only shake his head.
There are many existences like Eldest Sun Wuji, but they can't figure it out, after all, the current Majesty is not so good-looking.
In the entire Chang'an, not many people knew about this matter, but Shu An shook his head after learning about it.
"It seems that this is a suspicion that there are wrongdoers in the palace."
Shu An thought silently, but this is also a normal thing, after all, if you can poison the pill, there are not many people.
It seems that Li Shimin still thinks that someone is poisoned, not that the pill itself is poisonous, after all, alchemy has a long history.
However, Shu An is not in a hurry, anyway, Li Shimin will not find out the murderer, so he will suspect the pill itself.
After thinking of this, Shu An smiled slightly, and then slowly fell asleep, it was dark after all, and he didn't have much nostalgia for the night.
.......
Just as Shu An was sleeping, Li Shimin, who was in the palace at this time, frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"How is this possible?"
Li Shimin muttered softly, as if he was a little unwilling.
The reason is very simple, that is, the entire palace was searched, and no clues were found in Hedan.
You must know that the last time because of the possible rebellion of the Praetorian Guards, Li Shimin had already searched the palace, but he had arrested many people with bad intentions.
As for this time, there was no gain at all, and Li Shimin was stumped for a while.
"Could it be that those Taoist priests succeeded?"
At this time, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.
You must know that because Li Tang made Taoism the state religion, the status of Taoist priests can be said to have improved a lot.
Even Li Shimin was very polite to these Taoist priests, and even recruited many people from the Taoist sect to become officials.
At first, Li Shimin did not doubt these people, but now it is impossible not to doubt them.
Because they didn't get any information from the palace, in the end, these Taoist priests were the most suspicious.
No matter how indulgent Li Shimin is to Taoism, he will not want to see these people kill him no matter what.
"Whether these people did it or not, let these people know if they refine the pill again."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he muttered, although there was a bit of a smell of scaring the grass and snakes tonight.
However, as long as you find a random reason, then you can completely expose it, so these Taoist priests will definitely not be suspicious.
......
In a secluded corner of the palace, there is a heart cultivation hall, which is where Li Shimin came to support these Taoist priests.
"Princess, does Your Majesty want the pill again?"
At this time, the voice of an old Taoist priest who looked like a fairy wind Dao bone sounded, with a hint of joy in his voice.
Because for these Taoist priests, only where His Majesty has a useful place can he prove his worth, and he can also get more benefits.
"Yes, please ask Yi Zhenren as soon as possible."
Wang De said with a hypocritical smile on his face, and secretly sneered in his heart.
After all, this old Taoist priest didn't know that he was dying, and he dared to poison the pill.
To know that the palace has been searched, then this Taoist priest and his gang of disciples are the most suspicious.
"Right now, right away!"
The old Taoist priest didn't care about the hypocrisy of the chief eunuch's face, but instead said with some compliments.
Obviously, this old Taoist priest is not ignorant of human feelings, but there are many restrictions in the palace, and he has to trouble this manager.
The only thing that made the old Taoist priest a little confused was that this chief manager was waiting for the newly baked pill today, which would not be the case in the usual days.
However, the old Taoist priest didn't think much about it, the reason was very simple, he was able to enter this palace but he was able to overcome public opinion in the Daomen, just so that the Taoist temple where he was located could be carried forward.
Wang De watched silently from the sidelines, he didn't know how these Taoist priests made alchemy, what he needed to ensure was that no one did anything in the middle of these pills.
Then these pills are taken to test, if there is no problem with these pills, then it proves that there is no problem with these Taoist priests.
Then if someone is obstructing, then combined with the previous fruitless situation, the court will definitely have a shock.
On the contrary, if the pill is poisonous, then it proves that there is something wrong with these Taoist priests, but Wang De is still more convinced of the second possibility.
The old Taoist priest didn't know the thoughts of the chief eunuch on the side, and he didn't care about Wang De on the side, and he didn't think that a eunuch could understand the alchemy of his Daomen.
Just when this side was alchemizing, Li Shimin was also above the court at this time, but today's emperor was a little absent-minded.
The reason is very simple, if you can't find out this thing, then it is like a fish thorn choking, and you don't feel anything but discomfort.
If you don't find out thoroughly, even Li Shimin can't sleep with peace of mind, for fear that one day an assassin will attack.
There are some smart people among the ministers below, and they naturally see that there is something wrong with His Majesty's state, combined with the palace lights last night that lasted until midnight, there is also some understanding on his face.
