Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1253
Xiao Duan was not really put in prison.

He was training in the East Palace.

After Princess Changle left the imperial study, she rushed to the East Palace impatiently.

Now she really wants to meet Xiao Duan.

Even though she knew that Xiao Duan saved herself because of Li Chengqian's order, she still couldn't help but have a good impression of Xiao Duan.

Xiao Duan lived alone in a courtyard, which was specially arranged by Li Chengqian after he was injured.

When Princess Changle came, he was sitting and resting in the courtyard.

He recovered very well.

Seeing Princess Changle, Xiao Duan hurriedly wanted to salute, but was stopped by Princess Changle.

"If you are injured, you don't need to salute, and there will be no outsiders in the future, so you don't have to be so polite."

Princess Changle said, but Xiao Duan still saluted, he didn't seem to want to be so casual with Princess Changle.

This caused Princess Changle's expression to change slightly.

"Etiquette cannot be broken."

After saying a word, Xiao Duan suddenly asked again: "Is there anything the princess wants to do here?"

Princess Changle originally wanted to say a lot to Xiao Duan, including many secrets in his heart and his affection for Xiao Duan.

However, after seeing Xiao Duan's reaction like this, she couldn't express those words in her heart.

She suddenly felt a little dull.

After a long time, I finally said: "I came to thank you, if it weren't for you, this princess would be in danger."

"No, this is what the subordinates should do."

Princess Changle glanced at Xiao Duan, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

"Seeing that your injury is not a serious problem, I don't worry about the princess. You have a good life and I will send someone to see you."

After saying this, Princess Changle turned and left.

Gratitude is still grateful, but apart from gratitude, that trace of emotion also disappeared at this moment.

Princess Changle left, and there were already fallen leaves in the small courtyard.

Xiao Duan looked at the direction where Princess Changle left, and after a long time, he finally let out a sigh.

He knew his identity, he was just a small guard of the Eastern Palace, a small guard should have his own consciousness, many people were not something he could reach.

In this world, there will never be another person like Qin Tian in the future.

He understands himself, he knows that he is not like Qin Tian.

Therefore, for many things, it is best to nip them in the bud.

Li Yuanjing's mansion.

He already knew the news of the failure of the people he sent out, and he was very angry after knowing the news.

He sent out so many masters to kill Princess Changle, but in the end so many people couldn't even kill a girl, he suddenly felt that those killers were useless.

What can they accomplish?
He felt that these people could do nothing.

However, Li Shimin is sending people to investigate those assassins, and he also knows.

Although those killers were all carefully trained by him, it seems impossible for the people of the court to find some clues and then contact him, but who can say for sure about some things?

Therefore, when the court stepped up its efforts to investigate those assassins, he was also a little nervous.

"My lord, the Zhao County Marquis of Qingshan County wanted to kill Her Royal Highness, and even sent someone, but was rescued by Xiao Duan. If you want me to say, why don't we put all the things on Zhao County Marquis? gone."

Li Shimin would never doubt Li Yuanjing if someone was the one to blame.

After thinking about it, Li Yuanjing nodded: "Okay, you can arrange this matter, and it must be done seamlessly without leaving any clues."

"Don't worry, my lord."
-
After Princess Changle understood what was going on, she didn't continue to quarrel.

Instead, she continued to be her own princess with peace of mind.

In the past two years, she was afraid that she could only bear the name of Xue Yantuo Khan's fiancée.

However, as long as his father's plan succeeds, the engagement will definitely be cancelled.

When Princess Changle was in peace, the people Li Shimin sent to investigate the assassins finally had some clues.

"My lord, who sent those assassins to find out."

"Say."

"Those assassins are very mysterious, but we have found some clues related to Zhao County Marquis from those assassins. Her Royal Highness Princess Changle once killed the son of Zhao County Marquis. In order to avenge his son, Zhao County Marquis once sent A team of assassins went to kill Princess Changle, but they were rescued by Xiao Duan and failed, and the second team of assassins may have been sent by Zhao County Marquis."

Princess Changle has lived in Chang'an City for many years and has no enemies. The only enemy may be the Marquis of Zhao County.

The spies told Li Shimin about the situation. After listening to it, Li Shimin felt that the Zhao County Marquis might indeed be the one who sent the assassins, after all, he was the only one with the motive.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin asked: "Where is the Marquis of Zhao County now? Let me put him in prison and strictly interrogate him."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the spies showed embarrassment, and said: "My lord, when I found Zhao County Marquis, he had committed suicide by taking poison."

"Suicide in fear of crime?"

The spy nodded: "Yes."

Zhao County Marquis sent someone to assassinate the princess. This is a serious crime, a major crime of exterminating the nine clans. No one can bear such a serious crime. Zhao Xianhou committed suicide by taking poison, and there is no doubt about it.

Li Shimin snorted and said, "It's really cheap for him to die like this."

As he spoke, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Since Zhao County Marquis is dead, let's forget about it."

The spies were ordered to retreat, and Li Shimin had no doubts about the whole matter.

And when Li Shimin finished the investigation of this matter, Li Yuanjing's mansion, Li Yuanjing already knew the result.

After seeing this result, Li Yuanjing was finally relieved.

For the assassination of Princess Changle, he will blame it on Zhao County Marquis.

However, since he wanted to put the blame on Marquis Zhao, he couldn't let Marquis Zhao live. Li Shimin would be sure that those assassins were killed by Marquis Zhao only if there was no proof of death.

Zhao County Marquis must die, so when those spies investigated Zhao County Marquis, he took the lead and sent someone to solve Zhao County Marquis.

Now that Li Shimin believes that Zhao Xianhou is the mastermind behind the assassination of Princess Changle, he can rest assured.

Of course, the failure to assassinate Princess Changle this time made him very unhappy. Originally, if Princess Changle died, Xue Yantuo might find them about Datang, and the two countries would continue to fight at that time.

As long as Datang is at war with other countries, he has a chance to seize the throne and force Li Shimin to step down.

But if the war can't afford it, he will continue to endure.

But now that Princess Changle has returned to Beijing, it's too late.
