Chu Chen Kee

It's only been a month since I left Chang'an, and the city is already full of greenery and vitality.

When the emperor received the news that the crown prince was attacked, he even postponed the retreat. Regardless of the dissuasion of the two national teachers, he personally led people ten miles out of the city to meet him.

When he saw the prince lying on the Luan seat dying, his body covered with catchy cotton cloth, and only half of the soldiers left behind him, his face was terribly gloomy. There was a rare thunderous anger in his eyes.

Although he is stupid and ineffective, he is a father after all.Seeing that his most proud child has fallen into such a situation, he naturally feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Now that the emperor is not feeling well, the officials below are even more sad, not for Li Chenhuan, but for themselves.

Who knows who His Majesty the Emperor will take his anger on?

"What's going on here? Why is the crown prince seriously injured? The imperial doctor, why don't you go and see!" the emperor asked furiously.

A large team of imperial doctors behind him immediately stepped forward to check on Li Chenhuan's injuries.

When the seriously injured messenger brought the news of Prince Ti's injury to the palace, he died of his injuries before the emperor summoned him.So the emperor still knew nothing about the situation with the prince.

Li Chenhuan's deputy took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "The last general is incompetent and failed to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. Instead, he fell into the trap of a villain. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor glanced at him, who was also covered with blood and scars, closed his eyes, and asked, "Tell me the whole thing."

The deputy general immediately knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "The final general knows that death is inevitable, but for the safety of His Royal Highness, even if His Majesty cuts me into pieces, I will accept it willingly."

Under the watchful eyes of the emperor and the officers and ministers behind him, he uttered everything that Li Chenhuan taught him, both true and false.

"Returning to Your Majesty, on the second day we left the city, we met our food and grass army on the road. They had been ambushed and killed, and our food and grass disappeared. Therefore, His Highness ordered us to advance at full speed and go to Cangzhou. When we When we arrived in Cangzhou, the Cangzhou garrison seemed to have gotten wind of it and hid everything. His Royal Highness ordered people to investigate and investigate, and finally got something."

He paused, and looked straight at Prime Minister Wang who was a little uneasy in the crowd with angry eyes: "But we were ambushed by someone on the way back. If it weren't for the help of the founding county magistrate, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to Came back alive!"

"Who is the person who ambushed the prince?" The emperor's voice was very low, and the people present did not dare to express their anger, so everyone could hear clearly.

"It's Cangzhou's defense prince Yi! He conspired with the demons, and his intentions were wrong. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness would go, which made him vigilant. When he realized His Highness's purpose, he planned to act first, and then planted it on the nearby people. Bandits and robbers. The last general speaks, everything is true! Here is also the secret letter between General Wang Ziyi and Beijing, please read it, Your Majesty!"

As the deputy general spoke, he handed the letter box in his hand to the eunuch beside the emperor.

The emperor's face was gloomy and ugly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Wang Qiyan!"

Prime Minister Wang's legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground immediately: "Your Majesty is well aware that I know nothing about it. My son is guarding the territory for His Majesty in the frontier. He is loyal and has no second thoughts! Someone must be trying to harm the crown prince. , and plant it on my son!"

He was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know how true or false what the general said. If his son really attacked the prince, why didn't he do it more simply?

However, he thought about it again, his eldest son at most wanted someone to snatch those secret letters back, and he didn't have the guts to really kill the prince.

So who assassinated the prince?

Suddenly, he had a terrifying idea in his heart, this is a trap set by Li Chenhuan himself, the purpose is to trap the Wang family and the queen!

But where did the remaining thousands of soldiers go?Is it really dead?No, Li Chenhuan is not that stupid!

The emperor hesitated for a moment, he also felt that the Wang family did not have the guts to murder the crown prince.

He took the letters in the eunuch's hand, took out one to read, his face became more and more gloomy, and finally said nothing, and directly threw the letters in Wang Chengxiang's face: "You still have the face to complain? You Look at what these things are! I have always taken you well, but it seems that I was deceived by your rhetoric!"

Prime Minister Wang was dumbfounded just by looking at the envelope.

My heart also seemed to sink to the bottom of the frozen lake in an instant.

It's over, it's over this time!These letters are indeed his own letters with the queen.The contents of those letters... are enough to make them have no room for turning over.

Li Chenhuan insisted on planting the blame on them, this time they jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean it up!

With bad intentions, he murdered the prince, colluded with the queen, leaked the military situation, and killed thousands of soldiers and robbed the army rations.Either one is a serious crime enough to confiscate one's family and exterminate one's family!

At this moment, Li Chenhuan, who had been in a 'coma' for a long time, moved his fingers slightly, and then struggled for a while before opening his eyes with difficulty, but the eyes were still out of focus.

"The prince is awake! Your Majesty." An imperial doctor wiped the sweat off his face and said with a sigh of relief.

The emperor immediately lowered his head, looked at Li Yuchen with concern, then turned his head in a cold voice and said, "Prison Prime Minister Wang and a group of people in Yushitai, and when the truth is found out, the house will be ransacked and executed. The queen will be imprisoned on the spot. In the palace, the title of the national teacher is taken away. Anyone who intercedes will be punished with the same crime!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

The wrath of the emperor, bleeding for thousands of miles!

Li Chenhuan subconsciously looked up at the emperor in front of him, and said dryly, "Father..."

The emperor rarely showed his gentle side: "Prince, don't worry, with me here, no one would dare to hurt you."

Li Chenhuan's heart suddenly became a little complicated, he hesitated to speak and looked at the tired-looking man in front of him, and finally swallowed the words welling up in his throat.

When he was so close, he saw that at some point, there were a few strands of white hair on the emperor's temples.

The person in front of him is the aloof Ninth Five-Year Lord, the Man of Destiny who rules the Nine Provinces Continent, but... is also a father.

Although his father's love was late for so many years, he was not absent after all.

The emperor tightly held Li Chenhuan's hands, those delicately maintained and gentle hands were surprisingly strong.

He suddenly asked the lieutenant beside him: "Where is Bai Qing's family? Since he protected His Highness the Crown Prince, he has done a lot of merit, so I should reward him for his merits!"

The deputy general secretly glanced at Li Chenhuan and said, "Master Bai is taking care of the wounded at the back of the team."

In fact, Li Yuchen hasn't woken up since he fell asleep that day, and Bai Yi has been taking care of him without closing his eyes to rest these days.

Hearing this, the emperor's face softened a little. If something happened to Bai Yi, it would be hard for Concubine Bai to explain it.

"Very good, I didn't misunderstand the person. After returning, I will make him the Duke of the county." The emperor sighed.

Li Chenhuan next to him narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up for a moment.
