Stunning beauty

The imperial palace, Shou'an Hall.

A round is restarted.

It is still the fourth prince Mubai holding the sunspots, and the Shang emperor holding the white pieces.

The hall was very quiet, only the sound of falling children.

In the chess game, the fighting between black and white pieces was very intense.

Mu Bai did not hide his clumsiness, nor would he ever hide his clumsiness, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness is revealed.

It's just that Shang Huang is stronger.

After half an hour.

Mu Bai put down the chess piece in his hand, admitted defeat and said, "My son lost."

"The chess strength has improved."

Shang Huang threw the white piece in his hand into the chess box, and commented, "The style of chess is still too strong, it hasn't changed."

"It can't be changed."

Mu Bai said calmly, "Born like this."

"Among so many princes, you are the one I most want to entrust with important tasks, but you are also the one I have the most trouble with."

Emperor Shang sighed softly, and said, "Forget it, go back, you don't need to confine your feet after you return to the mansion. In my opinion, confinement is of no use to you."

"Thank you, father, my son will leave."

Mu Bai got up, saluted respectfully again, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Fourth."

In front of the chess table, the Emperor Shang spoke with an indifferent expression, "You know, Concubine Shu and King Xuanwu have asked me to marry Chen Yifei and the parents of Li."

Mu Bai paused slightly, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know."

"What do you think?" Shang Huang asked lightly.

"I think that Chen Yifei is not good enough for Li's parents and daughters." Mu Bai said truthfully.

Upon hearing the words, Emperor Shang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Why, isn't the son of a great Shang Wu Wang worthy of a righteous daughter of a merchant family?"

"It has nothing to do with identity."

Mu Bai said calmly, "Chen Yifei's misconduct is known to everyone in the capital, and I don't think that such a person is worthy of the emperor's personal decree to marry him."

"That's all?" Shang Huang frowned.

"That's all." Mu Bai nodded.

"I see, let's go down." Emperor Shang said with his expression back to normal.

"My son retire."

Mu Bai responded, and immediately left the hall.

In the hall, Emperor Shang watched the backs of the four sons leaving, and a faint look flashed in his eyes.

Fourth child, when will you understand that in the royal family, sometimes, you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight.

"Where is the third child, is there any movement?"

After a while, Emperor Shang withdrew his gaze and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, not yet."

From behind, a little eunuch with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary figure replied.

"Strange."

Emperor Shang sneered, and said, "I don't believe that he will let go of the marriage and continue to be watched."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch responded respectfully.

"What about Bai Wangyu's case? After searching for so long, did you find anything?"

Shang Huang picked up a sunspot, put it on the chessboard, and continued to ask.

"It was not found out that the Confucian disciple was too close to any woman."

The little eunuch responded truthfully, "The two women he has the most contact with are Chen Qiao'er from the Confucian School and Li Youwei from Li Yuan. However, there is no abnormality in words and deeds between them, and they have never exceeded the etiquette."

"Chen Qiaoer, Li Youwei?"

Shang Huang picked up another white piece, landed on the other side of the chessboard, and said calmly, "Not once?"

"No."

The little eunuch shook his head.

"strangeness."

Shang Huang's expression was slightly gloomy. Could it be that Bai Wangyu said that there is someone he likes before, but he just made it up in order to refuse the marriage offer?

"He was injured this time, who has visited him?"

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Shang came back to his senses and continued to ask.

"Except for the Confucianists, there is only the Li family's son." The little eunuch replied.

Hearing this, Emperor Shang picked up a sunspot again and stared at the chessboard with a more serious expression.

The Li family and the Confucian family are getting closer and closer.

Could it be that the person Bai Wangyu likes is the daughter of Li's parents?

Although there are no signs, it is not impossible.

"His Majesty."

at this time.

Outside the Hall of Shou'an, a servant came quickly, knelt down and saluted, "There is news from Yuzhou City that the head of the Li family has been poisoned and his life is in danger!"

"what?"

When Emperor Shang heard the news from the servant, his expression was shocked.

almost the same time.

Li Yuan, the inner courtyard.

When the news of Lao Li's accident came, Li Ziye, who was still practicing sword, changed his face instantly.

"I'm going back to Yuzhou!"

Li Ziye's face was full of murderous intent, and he walked towards the outside of the mansion.

"stop!"

The door opened, Qin Grace walked out, and said coldly, "What's the difference between you going out of the city and courting death?"

Li Ziye paused and quickly understood something.

However, up to now, Li Ziye couldn't care too much, and said with a gloomy expression, "Old Li's life or death is uncertain. As a son of man, no matter how dangerous it is, I will go back."

"Little brother!"

At this time.

Outside the inner courtyard, Li Youwei walked quickly, with cold eyes and said, "Fairy Qin is right, you can't leave the city easily, and your adoptive father has an accident, and everyone knows that you are going back to Yuzhou. If you go out of the city now, those who want to deal with us Li People at home will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Speaking of this, Li Youwei stared at the younger brother in front of her, and said with a heavy expression, "Besides, this is probably a game against you, younger brother."

"I can't handle that much anymore."

Li Ziye said in a deep voice, "I will bring more people, no matter what, I have to go back to Yuzhou, Miss Youwei, don't worry, I will be fine, and I will not let my father be in trouble."

"Then you bring the red candle."

Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, Li Youwei immediately suggested, "Red Candle's cultivation is not weak, and she is good at using poison. Perhaps, she can recognize what poison her adoptive father was poisoned by."

"it is good."

Li Ziye thought for a while, then nodded.

"You don't have to bring too many people, I'll go with you."

In front of the room, Qin Grace fixed her eyes slightly and said.

Li Ziye was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Master Fairy, your injuries are still serious, so don't run around anymore."

"No need to talk nonsense, let's go!"

After Qin Grace said something, she clasped her right hand falsely, and Qingshuang flew out of the room behind her, missing her hand.

In the room on the other side, Hong Candle also came out, ready to go.

"Miss Youwei, you must be careful in the capital."

Li Ziye looked at the eldest sister in front of him, and reminded, "When you leave Li Yuan, you must take a guard with you."

"I understand, here in Li Yuan, you don't have to worry."

Li Youwei said softly, "Your second brother has planted a lot of experts around Li Yuan, so nothing will happen."

Li Ziye nodded, without further delay, he quickly walked out of the courtyard.

A quarter of an hour later.

In front of Li Garden, three fast horses galloped past, heading towards the west gate.

"What happened to the Patriarch of the Li family?"

At the same time, after receiving the news, the capital city, Changsun's family, Yin's bank, the Shangmeng, and many forces in the imperial court, whether overt or covert, also took actions immediately.

This is an opportunity God has given them.

If he could take this opportunity to get rid of the head of the Li family and the son of the Li family in one fell swoop, the huge Li family would definitely collapse overnight!
