Chapter 343: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping (Middle)

Calm down, you have to be calm, it's all over in one attack!

Li Xian was very angry, but he knew that there could be no loss of honor at this time, otherwise, everything would be irreparable, so he took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger, bowed to the Empress Wu, and said in a smooth tone: "The queen mother is Mingjian, the child thinks that the eighth brother is indeed not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, and the official is okay, however, the son does not think that the eighth brother will be confused so far, there must be a misunderstanding, and the son is willing to ask the father and the queen mother to investigate in detail!" ”

"Huh? Is Xian'er saying that her mother is lying? ”

Originally, seeing that Li Xian was on the verge of attack, Empress Wu was overjoyed in her heart, but she didn't expect Li Xian to go back alive and steadily, and couldn't help but be quite disappointed.

"Erchen didn't dare, however, the matter involved the reputation of the eighth brother, and Erchen thought that this matter could not be hasty......"

Facing the cold face of the Empress Wu, if it was a different person, he would have been terrified, but Li Xian didn't care at all, and replied in a loud voice.

"Presumptuous, this is the front of the emperor, not a place where you can go wild!"

Empress Wu was determined to suppress Li Xian, and no matter how ugly the faces of others were, before Li Xian finished speaking, he was already standing upright, and broke off Li Xian's words.

"The queen mother also asked for the anger of the thunder, the son did not suspect the queen mother, but thought that the group of bastard eunuchs below were stirring the root of the tongue, if this matter is not thoroughly investigated, will it not miss the reputation of the eighth brother, and the son will not dare to follow!"

Li Xian bowed calmly, not the slightest timidity because of the anger of the Empress Wu, nor was he angry because of it, but just calmly stated his opinion.

"Queen Mother, please stop being angry, seventh brother, don't retreat, don't mess around!"

Seeing that Li Xian and Empress Wu were on the spot, Li Xian couldn't sit still, after all, he had always been one with Li Xian, and he was worried that Empress Wu's anger would spread to his own head, so he picked up the prince's shelf and scolded Li Xian.

You're an idiot dog, you only think about yourself, you're such an unfed dog! Li Xian saw through Li Xian's careful thinking at a glance, and secretly sneered in his heart, he would not act according to his words, and when he got to such a field now, it would not be a big deal to make a fuss, so he glanced at Li Xian coldly, and responded lightly: "Brother Prince, forgive me, it's not the younger brother who is messing around, this matter is not only about the reputation of the eighth brother, but the younger brother has no way to retreat, if you don't investigate thoroughly, the younger brother will not dare to accept it!" ”

"You, this ......, alas, seventh brother, do you know that the eighth brother was broken by someone on the spot this time, right and wrong are clear, how can there be anything to investigate thoroughly, don't make trouble again, why bother to provoke the father and queen mother to be angry."

was pushed by Li Xian like this, Li Xian's face was a little unbearable, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he saw Li Xian's cold expression, he had no courage and had no choice, so he had to rub his hands awkwardly and persuade him.

Rubbish! Li Xian despised Li Xian fiercely in his heart, but he was too lazy to talk to him, so he bowed to Gaozong, who was lying on the bed in a daze, and reported with a hint of excitement: "Father, you know the character of the eighth brother, he has always been a stable person, how can there be any nonsense, the son believes that there must be something strange in it, and asks the father to issue an edict to investigate thoroughly, the son is willing to ask for his own matter, if the eighth brother really has something wrong, the son is willing to be guilty of the same crime!" ”

"This ......"

When Gaozong heard Empress Wu's report on Li Xulun's filth before, he patronized and got angry, and really didn't think about whether there was fraud in it, and the prince and the king of Yue who came successively advocated that this matter involved the face of the heavenly family, and it was good to cover up the past, poor Gaozong was a person who didn't have a big opinion, and everyone said this way, so he followed the trend, but at this time he was so troubled by Li Xian, Gaozong found that things didn't seem to be as simple as they seemed on the surface, and he couldn't help but hesitate about the original decision, It's just that he was sandwiched between Empress Wu and Li Xian, and he really didn't know what decision to make for a while.

"Father, my son, please ask for my father's permission!"

Li Xian knew very well that Gaozong's foolish nature would easily be swayed by the opinions of others, so he forced a sentence tightly, not giving the rest of the people room to interject.

"Well, it's okay to check it, hmm, starling, what do you see?"

Being forced by Li Xian like this, Gaozong was really helpless, so he reluctantly agreed to Li Xian's suggestion, but his heart was uneasy, and he kicked the ball to the feet of the silent Li Zhen as soon as he turned his mouth.

"There is no objection to the minister, everything is only judged by His Majesty!"

Li Zhen is not such a mediocre person as Gaozong, since he has long seen the strangeness of this matter, the reason why he previously echoed the suggestion of the Empress Wu was nothing more than to plan to push the boat down the river to pit Li Xian, at this time seeing Li Xian so tough, he did not want to clash with Li Xian on the spot, and at the same time did not want to be very unhappy with the Empress Wu, so he played Tai Chi and quietly kicked the ball back to Gaozong.

"Oh, then it's okay, Mei Niang, just let Xian'er go and have a look, it won't take much time to get around, and then we can discuss it."

Gaozong originally expected Li Zhen to give a suggestion, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to play Tai Chi on the spot, and in desperation, he had to turn his gaze to Empress Wu, who was standing on the edge of the couch with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

For Li Xian's tough attitude, Empress Wu was already extremely angry in her heart, but since Gaozong had already opened the golden mouth, she couldn't oppose it strongly, and she thought that she had already arranged everything, but she was not too worried about how much trouble Li Xian could stir up, so she praised with a sneer.

"Okay, Xian'er will go and say hello, and I will wait here for your return."

Seeing this, Empress Wu nodded, and Gaozong immediately made up his mind, and did not ask the restless Li Xian, but directly gave Li Xian a message.

"Thank you for your father's grace, however, my son still has one more thing to ask for his father's permission."

Li Xian received the order, but he did not leave in a hurry, but made another request.

"Oh? What's going on? Xian'er just talk to me and listen. ”

Gaozong glanced at Li Xian suspiciously, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Xian's inches, but he didn't refuse directly, but asked with a hint of displeasure.

"Back to my father's words, my sons are not familiar with all parts of the palace, and I also ask my father to give my sons a will, and allow my sons to transfer people related to this matter."

Most of the people in the harem are members of the Empress Wu's party, since they dare to frame Li Xulun like this, they are naturally very well planned, if they don't have authority in their hands and stupidly run to investigate, isn't that jumping into the pit dug by Empress Wu? Li Xian is not stunned, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing, even if Gaozong is displeased, Li Xian has to get the authority to talk about it.

"Well, I'm right!" As soon as he heard Li Xian's words reasonable, Gao Zongzi was no longer angry, took a jade pendant from the pillow, handed it to Li Xian, and instructed: "Xian'er can hold this jade pendant and let the people involved in the case be transferred, if anyone dares to disobey, Xian'er can go away on his own." ”

"Son, thank you for your father's grace!"

The authority has arrived, Li Xian will not talk any more nonsense, respectfully hold the jade pendant with both hands, thank you loudly, and don't care how ugly the face of the martial arts queen is, as soon as he turned around, he strode out of the dormitory, only then did he turn the screen, and saw Cheng Denggao leading a group of small eunuchs at the door to look into the door, Li Xian couldn't help but move in his heart, he already had an idea.

"Father-in-law Cheng is invited, Xiao Wang is on the orders of his father, to thoroughly investigate the matter of King Yin, now that his father is here, please ask Father-in-law Cheng to accompany Xiao Wang on a journey?"

Li Xian's words were very polite, but the meaning of catching the strong man was very strong, although the tone was a consultative tone, but the inside was unquestionably resolute.

"Ah......h

Cheng Denggao obviously didn't expect Li Xian to grab himself as soon as he came up, and he was choked so hard that his mouth was wide enough to stuff a big pear.

"What? Isn't it convenient for Grandpa Cheng, huh? ”

Li Xian didn't give Cheng Denggao much face, and when he saw that he was stunned on the spot, he immediately said coldly.

"No, no, ah, Your Highness, please, the old slave will follow."

Being asked by Li Xian like this, Cheng Denggao finally came back to his senses, peeked at the jade pendant in Li Xian's hand, bowed helplessly and agreed, waved his hand, and motioned for Li Xian to invite first.

"I'm tired, Xiao Wang wants to go to Ningxin Hall first, and Cheng's father-in-law will please lead the way."

Li Xian nodded expressionlessly, commanded in a calm voice, raised his feet and walked out of the hall, Cheng Denggao saw this, he was full of complacency and reluctance, but he had no choice, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and hurriedly caught up with Li Xian's footsteps, and led the way for Li Xian with courtesy.

Ningxin Hall is located in the most remote corner of the west side of the palace, the name sounds pleasant, but in fact it is just a dilapidated and narrow small courtyard, which is commonly known as the cold palace, of course, Gaozong is a mother-in-law after the martial arts, and there are no other concubines, this cold palace is naturally useless, under the disrepair, dirty mess is inevitable, not to mention, just the weeds growing on the roof are more than half a person high, and you can feel a moldy bad luck from afar, However, Li Xian didn't care at all, and he didn't get close to Cheng Denggaotao, and walked to the front of the courtyard speechlessly.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Before Li Xian could get close to the courtyard gate, a sturdy middle-aged eunuch led several of his subordinates to rush up and stretched out his hand to block Li Xian's way.

"Stand down!"

Li Xian was too lazy to talk to these little people, raised the jade pendant in his hand, and scolded him unceremoniously.

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me, the slave maid serves the queen Niang Niangyi to take care of His Royal Highness King Yin, if there is no Niang Niangyi's will, please forgive the slave and maid for not daring to be accommodating!"

Although the jade pendant in Li Xian's hand is a commonly used thing by Gaozong, the middle-aged eunuch is not a person who has been with the emperor for a long time, so he does not approve of this thing, and he does not care about Li Xian's title of prince......
