However, he took two steps back when he heard Li Junze shouting, "Father, I was harmed by him. He forced me to do this. Please understand."

How could he care about his face now? Wang Zhuo had been dragged away and had probably been executed. If he wanted to survive, he had to completely remove himself from this matter.

So he tried to put the blame on Li Junhao.

Now he looks more like a clown.

No matter whether others believed it or not, he just explained it to the emperor and everyone else.

After hearing his words, Li Junhao couldn't help but sneer, stopped walking back, and stared at Li Junze with sharp eyes.

"Li Junze, you'd better shut up now, otherwise I'm worried that you won't be able to leave a complete body."

His words were still spoken slowly and steadily, but to Li Junze they sounded like the most vicious curse. He raised his head and looked at the emperor who had always been the most partial to him.

However, the emperor now had no time to care about his emotions, and was unwilling to even look at him. He waved his hand at Xie Ziming and said weakly, "Pull him away, pull him away..."

When Li Junze heard these words, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled like a sieve. Did they mean to execute him by dragging him away?

"No, no, father, don't you love Ze'er the most? Father, look, my mother has left, you can't also give up Ze'er..."

He was still crying loudly, but was pulled away by two guards from the place where Wang Zhuo was just taken away.

The palace coup came to an end just like that, leaving Li Xingxian, who was still holding Wang Yuyan's body in the distance, still unresponsive.

He was still immersed in the grief of losing his loved one, and carefully helped Wang Yuyan wipe the blood off his cheek. However, since his hands were already covered in blood, the more he wiped, the more blood appeared on Wang Yuyan's cheek.

The emperor was breathing heavily, looking at the scene in front of him, he felt very disgusted in his heart, his beloved concubine was being held in the arms of his younger brother like this.

He waved his hand and said to Eunuch Chengping, "Go and ask the Queen Mother to come over and let her take her little son back."

After saying this, without waiting for Eunuch Chengping to reply, he waved his hand and asked the four palace servants to lift up the chair they were sitting on and return to the Qianqing Palace.

Li Junsheng saw Eunuch Chengping looking at him, so he nodded and said, "Go, Eunuch. The Empress Dowager should be able to make appropriate arrangements."

Eunuch Chengping then agreed and turned to leave.

Li Junsheng then turned to look at Li Junhao beside him, "Second brother, how do you want to deal with Wang Zhuo and Li Junze? Sheng'er wants to hear your opinion."

After this incident, the emperor must be somewhat disheartened and not want to make any further arrangements. The two of them must be severely punished, otherwise, how can the government be stable in the future?

Li Junhao had no intention of getting involved at this time. He reached out and patted Li Junsheng on the shoulder for the last time, and said earnestly,

"Sheng'er, you will have to make decisions on your own about matters like this. If you really can't make up your mind, you can consult your grandfather, or you can ask your father for more information."

When Li Junsheng heard him say this, he actually felt relaxed. The meaning of his second brother's words was very clear. He had already made up his mind not to interfere in such matters in the future.

Moreover, judging from his behavior, handing over the position of crown prince to himself seemed to be something he had planned for a long time, so he could feel more at ease this way.

So he had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Sheng'er understands."

The matter in the palace has been settled, but there must be some remnants of the Yanbei Army and Wang Zhuo's followers who have escaped. Although Li Junsheng and others are no longer involved in the core decision-making, the finishing work still needs to be completed.

It even includes the resettlement of the Yanbei Army and the subsequent stability of Northern Yan.

Therefore, the common people in the capital city were living in fear. There were very few people on the streets and in the shops. Even on the main street, a group of soldiers would suddenly rush out and chase someone.

So, under this circumstance, Gu Qiongsi was detained in the yard by Sun Xingzhi and did not go anywhere. He just ate and slept every day.

Finally, on the third day, the court resumed its duties, and as an official, Sun Xingzhi still had to report to the Hanlin Academy on time.

So early that morning, Sun Xingzhi put on his official robe and hat and went out excitedly.

He was thinking that his identity might not be hidden any longer. After Wang Zhuo's matter was over, the emperor would definitely look for him to do a blood test to prove his relationship with him.

If this is true, then the good days in the future will soon come.

However, Gu Qiongsi had completely different guesses, but seeing Sun Xingzhi's excitement, he ultimately did not speak out those guesses.

She had been feeling very restless staying in the courtyard for the past three days. She really wanted to go out and find out what had happened that day and what would be the final outcome of Li Junze?

Although he knew the general result, he was still unwilling to give up because he only listened to Sun Xingzhi's hearsay.

So, after Sun Xingzhi left, she also left the house immediately.

Of course, this time she didn't just wear a veil when going out. She had been recognized several times in Louwailou, so she had to learn her lesson. This time she dressed herself up as an old man and wandered around the street.

Even though there are so few people on the streets now, there are still those gossipers hiding in corners and gossiping.

After about an hour, Gu Qiongsi had basically grasped the entire process of what happened that day, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It's really ironic that Li Junze, Wang Zhuo and others prepared for so long, but it ended up in such a miserable way.

It seems that Li Junze can no longer be relied upon. It's a pity that I have invested so much energy in him.

Just as she was shaking her head in disappointment, she saw a familiar figure in tattered clothes.

That... turned out to be Xie Cheng'an, the handsome and elegant Xie Cheng'an, but now he looked haggard and dirty, looking like a beggar.

He was seen leaning on a dry branch in his left hand and holding a large bowl with a hole in it in his right hand. His lips were chapped and his hair was messy, as if he had just traveled a long distance to Beijing.

She originally wanted to go up and ask him, but when she saw his current appearance, she quickly stopped.

Didn't he go back to Liuzhou with Qian? Why did he return to the capital at this time?
