The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 343

Seeing that Chang Xi was furious, Wu Xin hurriedly said, "Now is not the time for Eldest Sister to blame Second Brother, it's better to call Prime Minister Li into the palace first and ask the matter clearly!"

Chang Xi glanced at their brothers, and ordered: "Go outside the hall and tell Little Zhao to invite Prime Minister Li here quietly!"

"No!" Wu Xin lifted his official robe and left in a hurry.

Chang Xi sat angrily behind the desk, ignoring Wu Zhong, who was hanging his head, and drank tea by himself. Wu Zhong stood on the ground alone, feeling deeply wronged.

After a long while, Li Linfu quickly entered the inner hall under Wu Xin's guidance. Chang Xi kept a dark face and did not hide it, and asked directly: "Li Shan tested the horse, is it Master Li who ordered Wu Zhong to do tricks on the prince's horse?"

Li Linfu saw that Chang Xi's expression was unkind, but he didn't shy away from it. He cupped his hands and said, "It's indeed my minister's idea!"

"Why did you do that?" Chang Xi held his breath and asked.

Li Linfu said sternly: "The minister wanted to increase the prestige of King Shou in the outer court and lower the prestige of the prince, so he planned this strategy. Now it seems that it is also very successful!"

Chang Xi was noncommittal, and said with a cold face: "Then you ordered Zhang Hu to assassinate the prince this time?"

"Assassinate the prince!" Li Linfu was startled, and hurriedly said: "The minister did not let Zhang Hu assassinate the prince, even if the minister wanted the prince's life, he would not be so stupid as to let Lord Wu Zhong's confidants assassinate him. Isn't it revealing your identity? Make trouble for Concubine Hui!"

Chang Xi heard that what he said was well-founded, and after thinking about it carefully, with Li Linfu's wisdom, he would never do such a stupid thing, so he carefully informed Li Linfu of Zhang Hu's assassination of the prince and the results of Hengyue's investigation.

Li Linfu thought for a moment, and said seriously: "There are two possibilities for this matter. First, it is a bitter trick by the prince himself. The purpose is to make this matter public, push the empress to the cusp of the storm, and make your majesty have great doubts about the empress. The relationship between you."

Chang Xi frowned, a little confused in his heart: Although the prince's injury was serious, it was not fatal. If it was a cruel trick, it might be possible, but is Ying Er such a scheming person?Didn't he already agree to Bengong's request?Could it be that he was only perfunctory on the surface, but in fact he was using a tactic to delay the attack?
Wu Xin doubted: "If the assassin was sent by the crown prince, why didn't he just kill Mao'er, so that he would never have to worry about the future?"

"No!" Li Linfu said categorically: "If something happened to King Shou, His Majesty would suspect that it was the crown prince's fault. Now that King Shou and the prince were assassinated at the same time, the prince was seriously injured while King Shou was unscathed. This would arouse everyone's suspicion. It is greatly detrimental to the empress!"

Chang Xi said again: "Then what is the second possibility?"

"The second possibility is: this matter was done by the other princes, with the purpose of alienating the relationship between the empress and the prince. The snipe and the clam are fighting each other, and he is a good fisherman for profit!" Li Linfu's analysis was straightforward.

Wu Xin said in a deep voice, "Which one does Prime Minister Li think is more likely?"

Li Linfu clasped his fists and said: "I think the first possibility is more likely! Because of the delicate relationship between the empress and the prince, everyone knows that there is no need to separate them, they are natural enemies, and the final outcome can only be one victory and one loss, and forever. They cannot coexist, so if the other princes use this strategy, it would be too clever!"

Chang Xi was startled when he heard Li Linfu's words: The ending can only be one win and one loss?Can't they really coexist?In a trance, Chang Xi found the key point of the matter!Li Linfu didn't know about the reconciliation between himself and the crown prince Li Ying. Did someone who knew about this assassination intentionally break the new covenant between him and Li Ying?If so, then the situation is extremely complicated!This person may be the other princes, or Li Yao and Li Ju who are unwilling to compromise by the prince's side, or even Li Linfu who is by his side!He would definitely not agree to reconcile with Li Ying. In this way, he couldn't believe what he said just now. It was very likely that it was a trick by him to force himself to a dead end!
Li Linfu didn't know what Chang Xi was thinking, so he said, "It's time for your mother to fight back! Taking advantage of the prince's injury and being unable to go to court this time, to suppress his power, he brought Tongshou Wang to visit, creating the illusion of filial piety , to create momentum for King Shou to change ownership of the East Palace!"

Chang Xi didn't want to talk to Li Linfu, knowing that he would not agree with her idea, so she just nodded lightly without arguing with him.

Seeing that Chang Xi looked indifferent, Li Linfu knew that she didn't take his words seriously. He was about to say something when he heard a loud bang outside the window, as if something hit the window, which startled everyone in the hall. Wu Xin quickly walked over vigilantly, Open the window and look around, only to see colorful flowers falling in the forest, birds singing, no one is there!Immediately close the Xuan window with confidence, and stand back to the original place.

Seeing that nothing happened, Li Linfu said again: "My lady can't be merciful at this time, otherwise you will not only harm yourself, but also implicate the uncrowned King of Shou. This is all I have said, please think carefully!" Shake it off, bow and leave.

Wu Zhong and Wu Xin also resigned one by one, and followed Li Linfu out of Jiaofangdian.The three of them walked side by side, and Li Linfu said in a deep voice, "Have you guys heard anything about Concubine Hui's actions recently?"

"No! We two brothers haven't seen elder sister alone for a long time!" Wu Zhong shook his head.

Wu Xin frowned and said, "Prime Minister Li suspects that Elder Sister is acting alone behind her back?"

Li Linfu nodded slowly: "Concubine Hui is merciful, I'm afraid she may have reached an agreement with the prince secretly!"

"Agreement? The prince and elder sister are in the same situation, what agreement can be reached?" Wu Xin was a little puzzled.

Li Linfu was noncommittal, and ordered: "If one day the concubine Hui tells you that she doesn't want to compete with the prince anymore, as long as the prince ascends the throne and doesn't embarrass King Shou, will you promise not to embarrass the prince?"

"How is this possible!" Wu Zhong said angrily: "We have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, do you mean that you can stop if you stop! Besides, let's stop and give up this great opportunity. Will you let us go!"

Wu Xin nodded and said: "Second brother is right, the matter has been done! In recent years we have often used the power in our hands to embarrass the crown prince. He has long been jealous and resentful. Now giving up not to fight for the position of crown prince is tantamount to seeking death!"

Li Linfu sneered and said: "The two brothers Wu can see it clearly! Even if the crown prince is nostalgic for the past and does not want to be the King of Shou, he will never be soft-hearted to us! Even if Concubine Hui has room for change, we don't have it!"

Wu Xin understood clearly, he hesitated and said: "You mean elder sister really moved to reconcile with the crown prince?"

"I'm afraid it has already been done!" Li Linfu sneered.

Wu Zhong said angrily, "Elder Sister is so disregarding our lives?"

Wu Xin frowned and said, "If this is the case, what should we do?"

"What should I do? There are plenty of ways! After we go back, continue to suppress the prince and assist King Shou! As long as we don't stop for a day, the prince will not believe that Concubine Hui's reconciliation with him is sincere! We just need to take advantage of his serious injury. Abolish his left and right arms, and he will naturally continue to fight with us! When Concubine Hui is in trouble, she will do her best to push King Shou to the throne!"

Wu Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Li is still smarter!"

Li Linfu sighed: "I really want to assist King Shou to do something amazing, but I don't know why Concubine Hui, who is the direct descendant of the Wu family, is so indecisive? She doesn't have the demeanor of Queen Zetian at all! What's the use of court disputes?" Emotions can be traced, and there are people who really naively believe in promises? I can't do such a stupid thing as putting my life on other people's promises and conscience! You two brothers follow me well, rest assured and wait Let's be the uncle of the country!"

"Thank you Brother Li for making it happen!" Wu Zhong, Wu Xin clasped their hands and Li Linfu laughed.

The prince was seriously injured and recuperated in the Datong Hall of the Xingqing Palace. He was unconscious for a few days, and was taken care of by Chang Xi and others in turn. After more than ten days, under the careful preparation of the imperial doctor Qin and other imperial physicians, he regained consciousness and gradually recovered. I can eat!In the past few days, due to his good self-cultivation, apart from being unable to go out and walk, the wound has already healed and he can walk in the hall.

Early this morning, brothers Li Yao and Li Ju entered the Hall of Great Harmony in the name of serving the sick.Seeing Li Ying wearing pajamas, leaning on the side of the couch reading a book, with a rosy face, he was a little relieved.

"Why did the fifth and eighth brothers come so early today?" Li Ying put down his book and greeted the two brothers.

Li Yao said with a sullen face: "We have found out something, and we want to discuss it with the second brother!"

"Oh?" Li Ying looked at the two with doubts. A few days ago, they had nothing to do when they were waiting in the palace. It seems that what happened today is new news that was discovered only recently.

Li Ju frowned and said, "Second Brother, who do you think did the assassination?"

Li Ying pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't figure it out!"

Li Yao snorted, "Second Brother, don't you think this matter is strange? Being assassinated at the same time, why is Eighteenth Brother unscathed, but you are seriously injured!"

Li Ying was silent for a moment, then replied: "The reason why the eighteenth brother was injured so lightly is because of my first aid, and second because after the assassin knocked him down, he clearly thought that he was dead after fainting, so he survived!"

Li Ju said angrily: "Second brother's words are so far-fetched! In my opinion, this matter was instigated by the ruthless concubine Wu Hui. The eighteenth brother took advantage of his illness to lure you to Cuihu Lake, and then the assassin killed you. A big conspiracy that has been planned!"

"Nonsense!" Li Ying reprimanded lightly: "Eighteenth Brother tried his best to stop the assassin with his hands that day. If I hadn't blocked the long sword with my hand in time, Eighteenth Brother would have died by the sword for saving me. How could it be him? You lured me to Cuihu by taking advantage of my illness, so that the assassin could assassinate me!"

Li Yao stomped her feet and said urgently: "Second brother, don't be fooled by his hypocritical appearance! He is used to pretending to be a man! Remember the horse trial in Lishan a month ago! He got off the horse to rescue you, and won the honor of father and all the ministers." Praise! But second brother, did you ever have a little doubt, why did your docile mount suddenly go crazy, causing you to fall off the horse?"

"What? Is there something else hidden about this matter?" Li Ying's eyelids twitched.

Li Ju sneered and said: "After investigation by our brothers, it is very likely that Wu Huifei's younger brother Wu Zhong did this matter!"

Li Ying jumped up: "This is impossible!"

Li Yaodao: "I went to ask the groom afterwards how he served the second elder brother's mount, which frightened it and almost injured the second elder brother. Handed over to the unified management of the servants appointed by the palace. When the groom was teaching the horses, several ministers happened to pass by and commented on the quality of each prince's horses. Among them were the confidants of the Wu family. Brother's horse was frightened halfway, causing second brother to fall off the horse and lose the race!"

　I don't know if there will be any result in the reconciliation between the prince and Chang Xi!If two tigers fight, who will be the final winner?In a few days, there will be a big orgasm!
