Wu Mei and Li Hong looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep shock. Why could Li Xian hold twenty thunders in his hand
The two of them couldn't help but follow the sound of ritual music outside and looked in the direction of the main hall of Prince Pei's Mansion.
"Father...did...let Li Xian get involved in Taiyi City again?" Li Hong felt his throat tightening, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"It's too late to say what's the use of this now." Wu Mei lowered her eyebrows and looked at her feet.
The sound of ritual music came from a distance, presumably because the team to welcome the bride was back.
Bai Chun, who was wearing a blue shirt and skirt, was holding Li Lingyue's hand, and was standing in the distance looking at Wu Mei and Li Hong, with anxiety and worry written all over her face.
"Do you have any countermeasures?" Wu Mei asked quietly.
At this time, knowing that there may be thunder beneath her feet, she can still remain calm and composed. She is worthy of being the empress of Li Zhi's 90% master, and she is fully displaying the majesty of the empress at this moment.
"If you are not afraid that the people of the world will laugh at the courtiers and nobles, it is enough for the prince's guards to come and force their way in. But my father will definitely not agree. The royal prince's wedding, but the prince took the opportunity to rebel, not to mention... "
"Just tell me your plan. I will make the decision regarding your father." Looking at Li Hong's expression, Wu Mei knew that he should have some confidence in his heart.
"Act according to the opportunity, try to let Jingwei sneak into the dungeon secretly during the wedding to see if he can find those thunders, and then we will see how it goes." Li Hong frowned, he was afraid that Li Xian would make a plan to destroy both the stone and the stone. At that time, it was useless to say anything, so I could only pray to see if I could live another ten or eleven lives.
"Then I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility. Don't let your mother down." Wu Mei had no good solution at this time and could only hope in Li Hong.
The two of them knew very well that they had never thought about going to Prince Pei's Mansion right away from the beginning to the end, because they knew very well that when the team welcoming the bride from outside came back, it would be impossible to leave the Prince's Mansion.
Indeed, as the two of them had guessed, under Li Xian's instruction, all officials, foreign envoys, and royal family members of Prince Pei's Mansion were now restricted to entry and exit.
Watching Wu Mei leave, Li Hong walked to Bai Chun, watched Li Lingyue being taken away by Wu Mei, and sighed: "The sky thunder in Taiyi City has been stolen. It's not fun anymore."
"Are you guessing that there are thunders buried in the underground palace?" Bai Chun's heart trembled. Although she already knew it from Xiaoxue's mouth, when she heard it from His Highness the Crown Prince, she still felt trembling in her heart: "Then... what should I do? ?”
"What to do? I don't know. Maybe someone knows what to do, but doesn't know where he is? You continue to act according to the plan, and Jingwei quietly sneaks into the underground palace to find Tianlei." Li Hong frowned again.
The note given by Xiaoxue only said that Tianlei was lost, but did not say where the two of them had gone. Taiyi City's imperial dining room had always been solely responsible for them. Although Tianlei had already been directly under the jurisdiction of his father, he It was given to the father together with the person.
Therefore, what Li Hong could do was to continue to let Jingwei infiltrate, and then pray that Hard Work would give him some surprises.
Bai Chun could only nod silently. This time he was traveling to Prince Pei's Mansion. All those who followed him had already been replaced by people from the Crown Prince's Guards and Jingwei, so Bai Chun still had plenty of manpower.
When Li Hong came to the main hall, he happened to see the newlyweds finishing their ceremony, and Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple had also written Fang Muqing's name on the royal genealogy.
Li Xian, who was smiling all over his face, was slightly startled when he saw Li Hong appearing in the main hall. Bai Chun behind her was holding a gift box. This was a gift given by the ancestral temple. As for what was in it, she didn't know. I didn't have time to ask, so I just followed His Highness the Crown Prince and handed it to him after King Pei and Princess Pei saluted.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Li Xian took the gift box handed over by Li Hong with both hands, and then handed it to the pregnant Fang Muqing.
"How many months has it been?" Li Hong glanced at Fang Muqing's protruding belly and asked Li Xian.
"It's been six months. I hope that the emperor won't be stingy and remember to prepare a generous gift for your nephew." In the main hall, although there were still some noisy voices, some courtiers and foreign envoys were paying their respects. Li Zhi congratulated Wu Mei, but it did not affect the clear conversation between the two brothers at all.
"It's hard enough to hide it for six months, right?" Li Hong suddenly looked directly at Fang Muqing and asked in a low voice.
Fang Muqing, who was originally smiling next to Li Xian, didn't expect Li Hong to suddenly attack her, staring at her big belly like a sharp blade, as if he wanted to make a cut to see what was going on.
"Ah? What does the emperor mean by this?" Fang Muqing asked reflexively.
Li Xian's expression changed, and even Li Zhe, who was listening attentively, looked startled and couldn't help but focus on Fang Muqing's belly.
"Brother, do you think that Mu Qing's pregnancy is a fake? Do you know that if your father and mother know about it, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor and a serious crime." Li Xian was wearing a red groom's suit, but his expression was He didn't look happy at all. On the contrary, his face was getting colder and colder at this moment.
"Do you know that Pei Xingjian's daughter has been studying medicine with Sun Simiao all these years? She has more say in the matter of pregnant women. Besides, the palace attendants are not blind. Couldn't they see the difference between a real pregnancy and a fake pregnancy? "Li Hong looked at Fang Muqing's panicked eyes and asked softly.
Throughout the palace, red lanterns were lit up one by one. It gets dark early in winter, so when the red lanterns throughout the palace were lit up, illuminating the entire palace, the night became extraordinarily dark.
With the loud shout of the ceremony officer, the emperor and the queen will return to the palace and continue to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials, foreign envoys, and noble families.
As a place for large-scale court gatherings and other grand sacrificial rituals, Hanyuan Hall has always had this function, so it is rarely used on weekdays.
Li Hong, Li Zhe, and Li Xian stood motionless in a triangle shape after the Li Guan's voice disappeared.
The civil and military ministers, wealthy nobles, royal families, and foreign envoys all stood up together. When they were about to follow the emperor and the queen out of the main hall, they saw that the emperor and the queen were sitting there motionless, keeping their eyes on the three princes. body.
"It's not too late to give up now." Li Hong said calmly, ignoring the surprised looks around him.
"Why give up? Do you think you still have a chance of winning?" Li Xian was not willing to be outdone and looked at Li Hong provocatively.
"Your position as the Protector of the Yunzhong Protectorate will not bring you anything, not to mention that the emperor has already sent someone..." Li Zhe looked at Li Xian wearing the red groom's suit and felt Li Xian for the first time. His facial expression looked rather ferocious.
"So what? As long as I control everyone here, what else can't be done? Is the position of prince the ultimate goal for me, Li Xian? Of course not, my vision... is higher than the position in the East Palace. "Li Xian looked around at everyone in the main hall, with a proud smile on his face.
"Do you think you have a chance?" Li Hong moved his steps, and Li Xian suddenly looked at him warily.
"Lao Wu, what can you do even if you catch me? The worst thing is that we will die together. No one can get what I, Li Xian, can't get." Li Xian's eyes glanced at Li Zhi's angry eyes and the involuntary, always With trembling hands, he said with a sneer.
"What do you mean?" Li Zhe was shocked. He didn't understand what Li Xian meant by his words. Did he lose his mind and go crazy? Did he think he could do anything to everyone sitting here? Can he get his father to give him the throne
"Lao Qi, you can ask Lao Wu. He must know what's going on." Li Xian looked at Li Hong coldly.
"Where is Fang Xianzhong? Where is he?" Li Hong lowered his head and looked at his feet. Li Xian had been wary of him and kept a long distance away from him.
What's more, not far away from the three of them, the other groomsmen who had been the groom's groomsmen with Li Zhe for a day looked like a kind of death warrior. He couldn't catch Li Xian before they stopped him, so he had to do something for him. Jingwei stalled for some time.
The entire hall became silent at this time. Whether they were courtiers, nobles, royal family members or foreign envoys, they were all shocked by the words of the three princes of the Tang Dynasty and did not know what to say!
The battle for the throne of the Tang Dynasty broke out so blatantly. I had heard that the Crown Prince and King Pei were not on good terms before, but when they rescued King Yin together last year, this rumor was dispelled by His Majesty himself, but... now... how could it happen? All this before my eyes.
"My father and mother are unfilial, and my sons and ministers have not been able to tell you in time about Prince Li Hong's crimes in Yangzhou. In fact, Uncle Cao and King Yue were both killed by Prince Li Hong in Yangzhou, and then blamed him. Li Jingye was not killed by Li Jingye, and Li Jingye did not rebel. Li Dan's disappearance last year was actually the result of his secret use of Princess Wencheng. He did it to let your father see that Tubo finally regained control after his campaign. He became the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. In order to secure his position as the crown prince and to inherit the throne as soon as possible, he did such a despicable thing that brought shame to the entire royal family." Li Xian suddenly saluted Li Zhi and Wu Mei. Then the finger was pointed directly at Li Hong.
"Princess Wencheng did not want to assassinate her son and King Li Zhe, nor did she want to make Li Hong his enemy. She just hoped that the Tubo people would no longer be in dire straits. She just did not want Prince Li Hong to use her to fight. He made great achievements in conquering Tubo and accumulated countless ill-gotten gains!" Li Xian watched Li Zhi trembling all the time and staring at him with red eyes, so he looked at others, hoping to get the money from others! Agree.
None of the courtiers in the hall made a sound. They either lowered their heads or looked at him with some pity.
The royal family members, especially Princess Xincheng, Princess Lanling and Prince Ji Li Shen, also looked at Li Xian with complicated expressions.
