The emperor sent someone to take the fifth prince to Yuqing Mountain.

However, what was waiting was the sad news of the fifth prince's death.

The emperor froze in place as if struck by lightning, it was hard to believe it was real.

Even though Concubine Liu Gui and Liu Ze made mistakes, Li Yan was still the emperor's own son. The emperor watched him grow up, and it was impossible for him to have no affection for him.

The emperor originally thought that in the future, he would give Li Yan a throne and give him a richer fief, so that he could leave Shangjing far away, and live his life as an idle prince in peace.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan disappeared just like that.

He is only fifteen years old this year!

His life has just begun.

why...

Why is it gone? !

The emperor felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

He clenched his clothes tightly, bent down in pain, had difficulty breathing, and his face was pale.

Zuo Ji turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a heart attack!"

The imperial doctor came in a hurry, skilled in administering acupuncture to the emperor.

After some emergency treatment, the emperor's heart was finally not so painful, but his mood was still very low, his mental state was extremely poor, and he even looked several years older.

He said weakly: "I want to go back to the palace, go back to the palace immediately."

The imperial physician advised.

"You are very weak now, it is not suitable to go out for the time being, and it is still raining heavily outside, you must not catch a cold in the current physical condition."

Zuo Ji also persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should wait a little longer, your body is in serious condition, you should rest for two days.

When the body feels better, it is estimated that the rain will stop, and it will be safer to return to the palace at that time. "

The emperor said with a livid face.

"Hao'er killed Yan'er. After such a big incident, how can I care about recuperating? I have to go back now."

At this moment, Wu Wang stood up and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, His Royal Highness may not have been killed by Dongyang King.

Your Majesty, why don't you send someone back to the palace first, call Dongyang King over, and explain the matter to him face to face.

Your Majesty and Prince Dongyang are deeply in love with each other, so as long as you meet each other, things will definitely come to light. "

Zuo Ji immediately agreed.

"This is a good way! Let someone call Dongyang King over, so that His Majesty won't have to travel so hard, it's the best of both worlds!"

There was a lot of rain outside.

It seems that the rain will not stop for a while.

The emperor could only settle for the next best thing and accepted Wu Wang's proposal.

He said to Wu Wang.

"Since it's your suggestion, it's up to you to bring Dongyang King here."

After a pause, the emperor lowered his voice and warned again.

"After you see Hao'er, tell him well.

No matter what happens, I am his father, let him not do stupid things.

As long as he is willing to admit his mistakes, I will not deny him a way out. "

Both Li Hao and Li Yan are the emperor's own flesh and blood.

As long as there is still a shred of possibility, he doesn't want to give up any of them.

Wu Wang replied respectfully: "Here."

He turned and walked out, the emperor's suppressed cough and Zuo Ji's comforting words came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The King of Dongyang will definitely understand your painstaking efforts. He will come to see you soon."

The corners of Wu Wang's lips raised slightly.

Originally, they just wanted to take advantage of the emperor's suspicion and make Dongyang King fall into a situation where he couldn't explain it. They didn't expect Dongyang King to kill the fifth prince.

What a godsend!

...

Inside the palace.

After concubine Xian's consolation, Li Hao finally calmed down gradually.

Concubine Xian ordered people to prepare for the fifth prince's funeral, she said to Li Hao,

"It was an accident and no one wanted this to happen.

When your father comes back, you should explain it to him properly.

With your father's temperament, he should be sad and angry, but it won't take your life because of it.

As long as you are still alive, you still have a chance to make a comeback, understand? "

Li Hao replied honestly: "I understand."

In just one day, the vigor on his body was exhausted.

At this moment, he was like a frightened bird, any slight disturbance could scare him.

Concubine Xian rubbed her tired forehead: "It's getting late, you should go back first and get a good sleep."

After such a big thing happened, how could Li Hao still be able to sleep?

He said anxiously, "I want to stay in the palace."

Concubine Xian frowned: "This is against the rules."

Seeing her son's disappointed face, she slowed down her voice to comfort her.

"Only when you have cultivated enough energy will you have the energy to deal with the next thing. Be good, go back."

Li Hao went back reluctantly.

After returning to Dongyang Prince's Mansion, Li Hao was restless, and his mind was full of pictures of Li Yan covered in blood.

He has kept a lot of followers in the mansion, most of them are martial arts masters, but there are also a few who are particularly smart. If he encounters troubles on weekdays, those few people will help give advice, which is equivalent to his staff. .

Li Hao called those aides over and asked them to help him figure out a solution.

Knowing that King Dongyang accidentally killed the fifth prince, the staff were all terrified.

Well done, how could King Dongyang kill his own brother? !

Facing Shang Dongyang King's red eyes, the staff didn't dare to ask a word, they all racked their brains and began to help out ideas.

Just then, the butler came to report.

"My lord, we have a visitor."

How could Li Hao have the heart to meet guests now?

He said impatiently: "No, let him go!"

The steward said with trepidation: "The visitor claims to be someone close to the saint, and he was ordered to come and arrest the prince."

As soon as he heard the word "capture", Li Hao immediately panicked.

Did the emperor already know?

They have already sent someone to arrest him.

What should he do? What should I do?

Li Hao was burning with anxiety, and his mind was in a mess.

He looked at the few staff members and asked with red eyes.

"Why haven't you figured out a way yet? Is this king raising you for nothing?"

The staff were scolded red-faced, very embarrassing.

One of the staff said tremblingly.

"Wouldn't you like to see the comer first, my lord?

You try the attitude of the other party and see how the saint wants to deal with you?

If the sage is still willing to care about the relationship between father and son, it is naturally the best.

But if the sage wants to avenge the fifth prince, you can only... you can only..."

Li Hao asked eagerly: "What can I do? Say it quickly!"

"My lord can only prepare for the worst."

Li Hao didn't react immediately: "What's the worst plan?"

As if making up his mind, the staff gritted their teeth and spit out four words.

"The fish will die and the net will be broken."

A thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and the sound shook the sky.

Li Hao's heart beat like a beating drum, and it merged with the thunder outside, which made him freeze in place with a dazed expression.

It took him a while to murmur

"Is the fish dead and the net broken..."

Everyone present lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

They all understand what it means to die.

Li Hao gritted his teeth: "Go and gather all the available people in the mansion first, and wait for the king's order."

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the study and headed straight for the front yard in the heavy rain.
