One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 210

"This……"

The four soldiers looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.

"I'll go."

One of them trotted into Wu Wangfu.

No way, they are in this position, no one dares to offend.

Especially seeing the confidence and calmness on Lu Qingfan's face, he didn't dare to neglect him.

After all, unless he is a lunatic who dares to park the carriage at this position, he must have a lot of background.

Not long after, there were hurried footsteps in the mansion.

Li Changzhi walked out quickly, followed by a group of guards.

Before he got close to the carriage, he had already seen Lu Qingfan's face clearly. Shocked, he ran a few steps and shouted, "Mr. Lu, is it really you? It's so surprising."

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan nodded.

Walking to the carriage, Li Changzhi saluted Lu Qingfan, glanced at the carriage, and asked softly, "Your Majesty is here too?"

"Yes."

Lu Qingfan said, "Why don't we go in and talk?"

"Okay, please first."

Li Changzhi moved away with a smile.

"drive!"

Lu Qingfan drove the carriage into Wu Wangfu.

Li Changzhi could only run behind the carriage. Such a spectacle stunned the guards behind Li Changzhi.

Mr. Lu?
who is it?

They said it several times, and when they thought of a person, their expressions changed in shock.

It's him?

Lu Qingfan?
The guards looked at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.

After all, this name is too resounding, even the most ignorant people have heard of it.

"drive!"

Lu Qingfan drove the carriage through several courtyards and came to a separate small courtyard.

He and Li Zhuowan lived here last time.

Moreover, this is a separate courtyard prepared solely for Li Zhuowan.

After parking the carriage in the courtyard, Lu Qingfan and Li Zhuowan got out of the carriage and entered the house.

It's the same as before, little has changed.

A few maids were cleaning up the room, and when they saw Lu Qingfan and Li Zhuowan coming in, their eyes widened.

Soon, they recognized Li Zhuowan.

"His Majesty!"

"Okay, don't be too polite."

"Yes."

The maids agreed and continued with their work.

Lu Qingfan and Li Zhuowan found a chair and sat down. A maid made tea, brought it over, and poured it for them.

Not long after, Li Changzhi ran in panting.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"I met Mr. Lu."

Li Changzhi saluted slightly.

"Sit down."

Li Zhuowan smiled and said, "I am visiting privately today, so you don't need to be formal."

"Yes."

Li Changzhi came over and sat down, with a smile on his face, "Why didn't you say something before you came? So that I can prepare myself?"

"What is there to prepare for?"

Li Zhuowan glanced at him, "I think it's pretty clean here."

"It's cleaned every day."

Li Changzhi smiled, "Since you are here, Your Majesty, why don't you stay here for a few more days?"

"decide as things go."

Li Zhuowan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Anyway, I just play every day, and one day I've had enough of staying here, and I'll definitely leave right away."

"You are really carefree when you are the emperor."

Li Changzhi sighed: "Don't worry about anything, there are people like Mr. Lu by your side!"

"I don't feel happy, just boring."

Li Zhuowan suddenly asked, "Why don't you do it?"

"what?"

Li Changzhi was startled, and waved his hands again and again, "I dare not."

"fine."

There was a smile in Li Zhuowan's eyes, "Anyway, I will give up my throne sooner or later, why don't I give it up to you, I thought about it, and only you are the best candidate."

"Please forgive me!"

Li Changzhi smiled wryly, how dare he take up such a topic?

It's not like he hasn't thought about this kind of thing, but if he was really asked to speak out, he wouldn't dare to lend him ten courage.

However, he felt that what Li Zhuowan said was right.

He really is the best candidate.

Because Li Zhuowan is the queen, even if Li Zhuowan has a child in the future, the surname may not be Li.

Therefore, the future heir to the throne still has to be chosen among the descendants of the kings.

The closest blood relative to the first emperor, King Qin is dead, and King Zhao rebelled, leaving only King Qi and King Wu.

But King Qi also has no sons, only daughters.

The most suitable one is King Wu.

But King Wu was too old, so he, the son of King Wu, was naturally the most suitable candidate.

Thinking about it, Li Changzhi couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.

Moreover, even if Li Zhuowan mentioned this matter, he would not dare to accept it.

Who knows if Li Zhuowan is testing him?
"See how scared you are?"

Li Zhuowan smiled and said, "Isn't this like you?"

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor now, so you can't just talk nonsense."

Li Changzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Besides, I never thought of being an emperor."

"That's what you said, don't blame me for not giving you a chance in the future."

Li Zhuowan restrained her smile, sighed suddenly, and frowned, "Since you don't want to do it, who should I turn to? Is there a better candidate?"

"Ok?"

Li Changzhi was stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of Li Zhuowan's words, and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"I'm serious, I, the emperor, don't plan to do it."

Li Zhuowan shook her head, "Since you don't want to do it either, then I can only find a suitable candidate."

"what?"

Li Changzhi was stunned, and asked, "You really don't want to be emperor anymore? Why?"

"Because it's boring."

Li Zhuowan said: "Besides, I want to cultivate, being an emperor is so tiring, it's not a good job."

"is it?"

Li Changzhi became more and more dumbfounded the more he listened, he suddenly felt regretful and murmured in his heart.

Was it really an opportunity just now?

If I agree, Li Zhuowan will pass on the throne to me?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Li Zhuowan must be testing me.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Changzhi denied this idea.

It's about the throne, how can it be like a child's play, just ask and answer casually, and it will be decided?

Simply outrageous!

Just as he was thinking, light footsteps came from the door.

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

Li Qiutong walked in with a smile and saluted Li Zhuowan.

"Sit down quickly."

When Li Zhuowan faced Li Qiutong, she became much closer.

"Ah."

Li Qiutong agreed, then turned his gaze to Lu Qingfan, without hesitation, he also saluted, "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"sit down."

Lu Qingfan nodded.

"it is good."

Li Qiutong just sat down, looked at Li Zhuowan and said, "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come to Wuzhou?"

"I'm always free, and it's my mother who is helping me manage the government."

Li Zhuowan smiled, "It's you, why aren't you married yet?"

"what?"

Li Qiutong was stunned by the question, blushing for a moment, as if unable to answer the question.

"It's because she's too picky. She promised several people, but she didn't like them."

Li Changzhi sighed, "In a few years, she will be an old lady."

"Don't care!"

Li Qiutong retorted: "If I can't find a suitable person, I would rather not marry."

"Your Majesty, did you hear that? What did she say?"

Li Changzhi took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, if you help her appoint a marriage, I wonder if she would dare to withdraw the engagement?"

"no, I'm fine."

Li Qiutong quickly waved his hands, "I'm fine now."

Several people were talking, and footsteps sounded outside again.

This time it was a middle-aged man.

"Father!"

Li Changzhi and Li Qiutong stood up at the same time in shock.

"His Majesty!"

"Mr. Lu!"

The person who came was Wu Wang Li Chengqian.

He approached and saluted Li Zhuowan and Lu Qingfan respectively.

"King Wu, please sit down."

Li Zhuowan nodded slightly, looked at Li Chengqian with a questioning look, "Is King Wu looking for me?"

"The minister is here to plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Li Chengqian didn't sit down, and was about to kneel down while talking.

"Ok?"

Li Zhuowan was a little surprised, before she had time to think about it, she reached out her hand to stop Li Chengqian.

"King Wu doesn't have to be like this, just say what you have to say."

Li Qiutong and Li Changzhi didn't sit down either, they were both stunned, and it took a long time to recover, looking at Li Chengqian in surprise.

"Yes."

Li Chengqian kept his head down, as if he didn't dare to look at Li Zhuowan, and said, "I'm guilty."

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhuowan stared at Li Chengqian with some displeasure, "You tell me first, I will judge right from wrong."

"Yes."

Li Chengqian nodded, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have had correspondence with King Qin without telling you."

"what?"

Li Zhuowan was startled, thinking why did he take the initiative to talk about this?
Did he know that he couldn't hide this matter?

"All the letters are here, please look over them, Your Majesty."

While talking, Li Chengqian took out a dozen letters and handed them out.

Li Zhuowan didn't answer it, she shook her head, "Just let it go."

"Yes."

Li Chengqian put these letters on the table, but left a letter in his hand.

He opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and handed it to Li Zhuowan.

"Your Majesty, after reading this letter, you will understand something."

"is it?"

Li Zhuowan took the letter paper over, unfolded it, and her expression changed instantly.

This is a letter written by Qin Wang Li Chengen.

She recognized King Qin's handwriting.

Moreover, the letter turned out to be a confession.

In the letter, Qin Wang Li Chengen listed his crimes in detail.

Including his joint rebellion with King Zhao, and his secret agreement with the Yaozu and the barbarians.

What surprised Li Zhuowan the most was that King Qin took the responsibility of sending people to hunt down and kill Li Zhuowan seven years ago on himself.

Also, the death of Emperor Li Zhuowan's father was also caused by the secret poisoning sent by King Qin.

"King Qin!"

"Li Chengen!"

Before reading the letter, Li Zhuowan was so angry that her hands trembled and her heart trembled.

That's her uncle!

How can such a thing be done?

Although it has been many years, this is the eternal pain in her heart.

At this moment, it was like taking out her heart and rubbing it hard.

What's even more hateful is that King Qin is dead.

Even if she wanted to settle accounts with King Qin, she couldn't find anyone.

The anger in her heart had nowhere to vent.

"Wu Wang, why didn't you take out this letter earlier?"

Li Zhuowan threw the letter in her hand onto the table fiercely, with anger on her face.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault!"

With a plop, Li Chengqian knelt on the ground, "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Li Changzhi and Li Qiutong also knelt down and pleaded with Li Zhuowan.

"Please also bypass the father."

"Ugh!"

Li Zhuowan let out a long sigh, and asked, "Wu Wang, why did you write a private letter with Qin Wang?"

"Your Majesty, out of loyalty to you, I want to persuade King Qin to turn back."

Li Chengqian picked up a letter on the table and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look. This is the first letter that the King of Qin replied to me. From the letter, you should be able to see his attitude."

"I do not want to see."

Li Zhuowan waved her hand and glanced at Li Chengqian, "Even if what you said is true, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Your Majesty, the matter is of great importance, and I dare not make a decision lightly, so I have delayed until now."

Li Chengqian sighed, "This last letter was when the demons invaded. Before Qinzhou City was besieged, the King of Qin had already made up his mind to die, and wanted to advance and retreat with Qinzhou."

"In desperation, King Qin wrote this letter because he repented of his past crimes."

When Li Chengqian said this, he shook his head, "I know King Qin is not guilty of death, but after all, I am a brother with him. If this letter is handed over to you, it is tantamount to confirming his crime. Also ruined."

"So, I have to be cautious."

Li Chengqian lowered his head and said: "Please punish me, Your Majesty, even if I let you die now, I will admit it!"

"His Majesty!"

"Please let my father go!"

"It's not his fault!"

"Father out of good intentions, persuaded King Qin to turn back."

"Moreover, this letter has finally reached your hands."

Li Changzhi and Li Qiutong kept pleading for Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Zhuowan always felt that this was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

King Qin had a motive for killing her, and he also had a motive for murdering her father.

All for the throne.

However, Qin Wang would take the initiative to admit his crimes and take all the crimes on himself, which made Li Zhuowan a little puzzled.

Putting these things aside, did King Qin do them all?
Even if it is, why did King Qin write it in the letter?

Repentance before death?

Then why not give her the letter?But you want to hand it over to Li Chengqian?
Just because Li Chengqian persuaded King Qin?

The more Li Zhuowan thought about it, the more confused she became, she didn't believe that this matter was so easily settled.

However, King Qin's people are all dead, how can she track it down?

Moreover, in this way, Li Chengqian became a good person?

Li Zhuowan didn't believe that Li Chengqian had such good intentions, but there was no evidence to prove that Li Chengqian participated in King Qin's rebellion.

She could only endure it for the time being and put her hopes on Liu Xinran.

But no matter what, she wouldn't believe that Li Chengqian had nothing to do with this matter.

Really want to clear yourself?

Unless you haven't done it, there will definitely be clues.

Sooner or later you will show up.

After finally straightening out some things, Li Zhuowan raised her hand calmly, "Okay, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you King Wu, and you don't have to blame yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Li Chengqian stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Changzhi and Li Qiutong also stood up.

"All sit down."

Li Zhuowan nodded slightly, and said, "I still have something to discuss with King Wu."

"Yes."

Li Chengqian sat down, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Li Qiutong and Li Changzhi also sat down together.
