Chapter 564 Killing knife, no blood
Changle Gate is located at the easternmost gate of the southern city of Taiji Palace, opposite to the Zuoqianniuwei official office and Dianzhong provincial official office.

Enter Changle Gate, inside is an urn city.

On the west side of the Wengcheng is an unnamed palace. There are no guards guarding the gate of the palace, and the gate of the palace is not locked, but the officials in the past seem to have ignored it. step.

No one knew that the person living there was Zheng Guanyin, the concubine of Prince Yin Li Jiancheng.

……

The Changle Gate and the opposite Gongren Gate had been blocked at some point, and only Li Xuan and Liu Yingdao were walking in the entire Wengcheng.

Amidst the dull footsteps, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at them secretly.

Li Xuan lowered her hands and followed behind Liu Yingdao, her eyes flickering.

It has been 49 years since the change of Xuanwu Gate. Zheng Guanyin, the Crown Princess, is now 77 years old.

The change of Xuanwumen, the Zheng family's husband died overnight, and the family was about to be destroyed.

From being only one step away from the position of empress who is incomparably rich and honored by the mother of the world, to a prisoner who has been imprisoned for life.

No matter what kind of person they are, they have an indescribable strength to survive tenaciously under such drastic changes.

After so many years, the world has even forgotten about it long ago, but at this moment, the King of the East China Sea has brought Princess Yin into the public eye. What is he planning?

Li Xuan could imagine that there was no one inside or outside, but in fact, from the moment he appeared in Changle Gate, countless officials and elders from the Taizong Dynasty to the present were all staring at him.

There are descendants of those who succeeded in Xuanwumen, and descendants of losers in Xuanwumen.

It is said that 49 years have passed, and the influence of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng should have been completely eliminated.

After all, back then, even Li Jiancheng's trusted counselor Wei Zheng, trusted general Xue Wanche and others had already taken refuge under Li Shimin's command, not to mention how many years had passed since they were all dead.

However, the existence of Zheng Guanyin has completely subverted all this, especially with the development of the current situation, it has become more and more conspicuous.

Because behind Zheng Guanyin, there is a Xingyang Zheng family standing.

Li Shimin was fine when he was alive, and the world's aristocratic families used it for him, but after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he first deposed the king and queen, and then all the old officials such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were deposed.

Now, with the help of Empress Wu and countless heroes and generals, the Dongping Baekje Goguryeo and the North destroying the West Turkic Tuyuhun have forged their own reputation as the emperor, but also, the most suppressed people in this world are those aristocratic families.

Li Hong, Li Xian, and Li Xian, the three main wives, none of them came from five surnames and seven families.

Even Li Hong's concubine Pei, who was born in the Hedong Pei family, is not among the five surnames and seven families.

The Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Even among the close royal families, there were not many intermarriages with five surnames and seven families.

The existence of the descendants of Prince Yin Jiancheng will most likely become the focus of investment by the five surnames and seven families.

After all, once they stand up, they will immediately regain control of the world.

Five surnames and seven families may not have much interest in being an emperor, but no one will refuse the right to be an official in power to control the entire world.

Moreover, who knows if this is a means of building high walls and slowly claiming the king.

The king of the East China Sea, as long as he is connected with the Zheng family of Xingyang, it is equivalent to connecting with the five surnames and seven families. Now it means that he can already influence half of the Tang Dynasty.

I just don't know where he is now.

……

In the nameless palace, there were hardly many maids, not even a few guards at the palace gate, and it was calm.

Liu Yingdao is very familiar with this place, his eyes are straight forward, and his eyes have long since calmed down.

Empress Wu's words in the Zichen Palace had already clearly told him that his son, the grandson of Princess Yin, had done some things and got involved with Princess Yin.

Anything related to Crown Princess Yin is taboo inside and outside the court.

It is even possible to die because of it.

This has always been something that Liu Yingdao avoids the most, but his son jumped into it without knowing his death.

If you don't pay attention, not only him, but the entire Liu family will be implicated.

However, along the way, Liu Yingdao did not ask Li Xuan a word about his son Liu Guangye.

Li Xuan just followed behind Liu Yingdao calmly, walking into the depths of the palace step by step.

An old maid stood outside the inner hall, as if she had already received the news.

Li Xuan followed behind Liu Yingdao solemnly, her eyes had already reflected everything around her.

Empress Wu sent here, isn't that the purpose.

The king of the East China Sea hooked up with the grandson of Princess Yin from the outside world, isn't the purpose of hooking up with Princess Yin?
Therefore, even though there were countless eyeliners in the dark, Empress Wu still asked Li Xuan to come here, the purpose was to let him take a close look at whether there were any traces of connection with the outside world in the palace of the hidden princess.

But Li Xuan knew in his heart that this was simply impossible.

The inner guards, the secret guards have been staring at this place for a long time. Even if someone can avoid the eyeliner of the inner guards and secret guards and contact here secretly, all traces must have been cleaned up long ago. clean.

In the gate of the palace, an old woman with white hair was leaning on the bed, leisurely reading a book of miscellaneous notes.

Wearing a blue Taoist robe, his face was wrinkled, and there was still a faint trace of nobility.

Footsteps sounded, the old woman raised her head, and saw Liu Yingdao walking in the front at a glance. The old woman frowned, and asked a little puzzledly: "It's not a season, why is my son-in-law free?"

Li Xuan raised her eyes, and there was a trace of indifference and hatred in the voice of the crown princess.

"Reporting to my mother-in-law, there will be an apocalypse in heaven, and my mother-in-law is ill, so my son-in-law came to visit." Liu Yingdao bowed his hands earnestly, and spoke to Princess Yin like a very strange stranger.

"Sick?" Zheng Guanyin was a little puzzled at first, then tightened his skinny palm, and the puzzled look disappeared instantly: "Yes, I'm sick."

Zheng Guanyin took a deep breath, raised his head, his gaze passed Liu Yingdao, and fell directly on Li Xuan who was wearing the armor of the Jinwu Guard, and asked lightly: "Who is this general?"

Liu Yingdao quickly opened his mouth and said, "This is the Prince of Nanchang County, so Prince Peng."

"Peng Wang?" Zheng Guanyin was taken aback, it turned out that he didn't intend to kill himself.

"Peng Wang." Zheng Guanyin lowered his head immediately, as if he was beginning to recall, as if he wanted to withhold the name Peng Wang from his memory.

Li Xuan hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Nephew Li Xuan, king of Nanchang County, pays homage to Aunt Xi Wang."

Li Jiancheng, Emperor Taizong named Xiwang, posthumously named Yin.

"Auntie?" Zheng Guanyin suddenly came over, nodded lightly, and said, "It turns out that it is the son of the twelfth brother. It has been so many years, and I have never seen the twelfth brother come to visit."

Liu Yingdao at the side immediately took half a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Reporting to my mother-in-law, King Peng Si died of illness many years ago."

Zheng Guanyin paused for a moment, then his eyes darkened, and he said softly: "That's right, everyone from back then has passed away, so it's about time, it's my old woman's turn."

Li Xuan raised her head in astonishment, then lowered her head like lightning.

At this moment, Li Xuan caught Liu Yingdao's indifferent expression on his face.

He even felt relieved when he heard Zheng Guanyin say that.

Li Xuan's heart jumped violently in an instant.

At this time, Liu Yingdao stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying: "Come here today, and see that your mother-in-law is in good health, so my son-in-law can rest assured. Please rest assured that my mother-in-law can recover from her illness, so my son-in-law will retire."

Zheng Guanyin raised his head, looked at Liu Yingdao with a cold expression on his face, and then waved his hands indifferently.

Liu Yingdao bowed immediately, and then stepped back slowly.

Li Xuan stood on the spot, bowed solemnly to Zheng Guanyin, and then retreated slowly.

He had a feeling that this would be the last time he saw the poor woman.

Killing knife, no blood.

……

Walking in the cold and silent palace, Li Xuan felt chill all over his body. He never expected that he would make someone else's knife without making a sound.

He originally thought that Empress Wu asked him to come to Changle Gate to see if there was any secret connection between Princess Yin and the King of the East China Sea. The identity of the prince, come and tell Princess Yin.

She should be damned.

Li Xuan knew that even if it wasn't him but someone else who came, she would still be able to give the Crown Princess Yin on time through various means. anger.

However, the moment the anger arose, Li Xuan completely removed the anger from the bottom of her heart.

Empress Wu sent him here instead of sending someone else, and to a certain extent, expressed her trust in him, so what can he say.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Liu Yingdao who was still walking steadily ahead, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

The exchange just now proved enough that Liu Yingdao didn't have the respect that a son-in-law has for his mother-in-law to Prince Yin, only indifference.

The habitual indifference.

Thinking about it, Liu Yingdao's elder brother, Liu Xiangdao, was a former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he was just a doctor in the official department.

Back then, Liu Yingdao was selected by Emperor Taizong to marry Prince Yin's eldest daughter Wenxi county head. Needless to say, his personal talent is not much to say, but his official career has been bumpy for many years. The only reason is probably because he married the prince Yin's eldest daughter Wenxi county head.

He himself sacrificed his marriage and his own future, in exchange for his elder brother Liu Xiangdao's smooth official career and prosperous official career.

If there is no resentment in it, then I am afraid no one will believe it.

Today, the head of Wenxi County has passed away for 15 years, leaving behind only a few sons.

Leaving the cold palace, Li Xuan saw Liu Yingdao standing in front of him waiting for him, he took two quick steps and asked, "Lang Zhong, do you want to go back and answer the order?"

"No, the Queen of Heaven asked me to come here. As long as I wait, the decree will be considered complete. You don't need to go back and repeat the decree. You and I will go home." Liu Yingdao looked up at Li Xuan, and asked with a solemn expression: "Xuan Shou Dare I ask the prince, what crime did Guangye commit to make the Queen of Heaven so angry?"

Empress Wu was so angry that she wanted to kill the Crown Princess Yin, and one can imagine how serious the matter was.

Li Xuan took a light breath, looked at Liu Yingdao with a solemn face, and then bowed heavily.

"Understood, this rebellious son is finally dead. It's good to die, so that the whole family can be at peace." Liu Yingdao cupped his hands at Li Xuan, and then walked away.
