Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155 The Aggrieved Prince

Just when everyone was avoiding Li Heng, Li Fei came to Li Heng's East Palace for the first time.

To put it bluntly, Li Fei came here on purpose to give Li Heng warmth, Li Fei is also a relatively deep-rooted person, not as 'harmless' as he appears on the surface.

"Fuck, is this the dignified prince's East Palace?" I don't know if I didn't come to the East Palace, but Li Fei was shocked when he saw the scene inside the East Palace.

It can only be described as lonely and miserable.

The East Palace is the majestic place for the crown prince. The person who will inherit the throne in the future has an incomparably noble status.Even if life cannot be compared with that of the emperor, it should still be well-clothed and well-fed, with slaves and maidservants in groups.

But what Li Fei saw was miserable, there were not a few servants in the huge East Palace, many corners were not cleaned, and fallen leaves were all over the ground.The dusty instruments stacked in the courtyard clearly hadn't been played for too long.

"Li Yu has met Wu Guogong!" Li Yu is Li Heng's eldest son, the future Tang Dynasty Emperor, and Li Yu was very surprised by Li Fei's sudden arrival.

"Don't dare to be such a great gift." Li Fei respectfully returned a gift to Li Yu. Although Li Yu is now lonely with Li Heng, but there will be a day of rising, Li Fei dares to neglect.

"Where is His Royal Highness?" Li Fei asked.

"I will lead the Duke." Li Yu led the way and led Li Fei to where Li Heng was.

When Li Fei saw Prince Li Heng, Li Heng's hair was a little disheveled, his temples were gray, he was only 40 years old, but he looked like he was over 50 years old, Li Fei's face twitched.

"Your Highness, you should take heart. No matter what, Li Fei believes that you have been framed, so I will write a memorial to explain to His Majesty, and exonerate His Highness." Li Fei said sincerely.

"Everyone is eager to stay away from me and refuses to say a word for me, the prince. Only you, Li Fei, dare to come to see me in the East Palace, and you want to write a memorandum to my father to exonerate me. I, Li Heng, will never give up your friendship." I will forget!" Li Heng was so moved that he almost shed tears.The arrival of Li Fei made him feel that there was finally someone who was looking for him and believed in him.

"It's just that, in the end, the royal father must also believe me." This is the root of Li Heng's despair. The royal father is suspicious of him and doesn't believe him.Ever since Li Linfu suppressed him back then, his father had noticed him, but he refused to say a word for him.This time, Yang Guozhong and Liu Ji framed him, and his father refused to listen to him, but listened to Yang Guozhong instead, ha ha.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, no one has direct evidence to prove that you have the intention of treason, and His Majesty will definitely choose to believe you in the end." Li Fei comforted.

Li Fei's Chicken Soup for the Soul made Li Heng feel a bit of warmth, and his expression became less cloudy.

When he came to the East Palace, Li Fei not only met Li Heng, but also Li Yu, the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Heng's current concubine Du Shi.He didn't want to guess Du's fate, as long as Du Youlin could not get rid of the crime, Du's fate was already doomed.

Out of Li Heng's East Palace.

Li Fei felt that he was quite shameless. In fact, he basically played no role in this matter. Even without him, Tang Xuanzong would definitely not choose to abolish the prince in the end.He only refuted a few words for Li Heng in the court hall, and just now he went to the East Palace to pour a bowl of chicken soup for his soul to give Li Heng some warmth, expressing his belief in his position, but he asked Li Heng to accept his great kindness.

There is no other way, whoever makes Li Heng isolated and helpless, his only helping hand is very precious, it is difficult for Li Heng not to remember such kindness.

He felt that he should do more to let Li Heng see his position toward him, so after returning, Li Fei really wrote a memorandum to intercede for Li Heng.

On the second day, Li Fei personally delivered Li Fei's petition for Li Heng to Tang Xuanzong.

"Your Majesty, I went to the East Palace to see His Highness the Crown Prince yesterday." Li Fei was honest and did not hide anything: "His Highness the Crown Prince is very haggard, and his temples have turned gray in just a few days, as if he has aged ten years in just a few days. The East Palace is also very poor, there are very few servants to clean, the weeds and leaves in many corners are left unattended, and the piled up musical instruments are covered with dust. It seems that no one has used them for a long time. If you think about it, there are no musicians in the East Palace——"

Li Fei's intercession was mainly to describe the loneliness and misery of the East Palace in a realistic manner, so as to arouse Tang Xuanzong's compassion.After all, the prince is also the biological son of Tang Xuanzong, although there is suppression, but it will not really force the prince to death.Li Fei knew that Tang Xuanzong had no intention of abolishing the prince from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, Li Linfu would have pulled the prince down. Why did Li Linfu not move the prince again in the next few years? It was precisely because Li Linfu saw that Tang Xuanzong had not abolished the prince. plan.

This time, Yang Guozhong only made Tang Xuanzong mistakenly think that the prince was dishonest again, so he suppressed and suppressed the prince by the way to make the prince honest again, and he still didn't have any idea of ​​abolishing the prince.

"The prince is so down and out?" Tang Xuanzong couldn't believe it, feeling uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are father and son after all. The Crown Prince hopes to respect and honor His Majesty in his heart. Your Majesty can go to the East Palace to have a look. I will never believe that the Crown Prince has the intention of treason." Li Fei said.

"I see, you go down first." Tang Xuanzong waved his hand, obviously he wanted to be alone.

In the evening, Tang Xuanzong took Gao Lishi to the East Palace.

Walking into the East Palace, what I saw was just like what Li Fei said, abject!

"Is the prince's daily life like this?" Tang Xuanzong said to Gao Lishi beside him with slightly moist eyes.It is not difficult to hear from the tone that Tang Xuanzong has moved his heart of compassion.

No matter how suspicious and guarded against the prince, the prince is also his own son, a majestic heir, it is impossible to imagine the East Palace falling into such a state.With such a scene in the East Palace, how could the crown prince have the ability to seek rebellion, and how dare he dare to do so.
-
It must be that Du Youlin and Liu Ji secretly wanted to hold the prince hostage, so the prince cannot be blamed.Tang Xuanzong sighed inwardly, and blamed Du Youlin and Liu Ji for the crime.

"The sons and ministers see the father, long live the father!" Li Heng brought a group of wives and children to prostrate in front of Tang Xuanzong.

Seeing that Li Heng really had gray temples, Tang Xuanzong felt even more uncomfortable, the prince would never rebel!

"Get up, I have wronged you these days." Tang Xuanzong said.

Li Heng was really aggrieved, he felt aggrieved, he was really aggrieved after being the prince for so many years.

Li Heng accompanied Tang Xuanzong around the East Palace. Tang Xuanzong comforted Li Heng, didn't say much, and took Gao Lishi back to the palace.

However, it was revealed from Tang Xuanzong's words that Li Heng knew that his crown prince had been saved.

Although the position of the prince is worry-free and he knows that Du Youlin was wronged, he has no ability to exonerate Du Youlin.

That night, Li Hengyin endured the humiliation and wrote a letter of divorce, abandoning his current concubine Du, and demoting him to a commoner, in order to clear his relationship with Du Youlin.

Li Heng's hands were trembling. For the second time, he relied on abandoning his princess to keep himself.No matter whether he loves his own princess or not, but he is a majestic prince, but he can't even keep his own princess twice in a row. It's a shame, it's a shame!
At this moment, Li Heng's mind was distorted and forbearing, and his expression was even more sinister.The psychological changes caused by years of grievance made him no longer the high-spirited and gentle third prince he was back then.
