The bedroom door creaked shut. Under the charming light, two figures intertwined.
Li Xuan threw Zheng Guanyin onto the bed with both hands. He lowered his head and stared at the woman in front of him. She was Li Jiancheng's wife, the Crown Princess who had been forcefully taken over by Li Er before being banished to the cold palace.
In terms of beauty, she really didn't lose to Zhangsun Wugou.
In fact, it was even worse.
Unfortunately, he had stepped onto the path of tragedy.
"Your Highness…"
She slowly took off her luxurious clothes and wrapped her lotus-like arms tightly around Li Xuan's neck. Zheng Guanyin's eyes were like silk as she said with a hint of resentment,""This morning, when the incident at Xuanwu Gate occurred, the Eastern Palace was surrounded by an army. It was only thanks to Feng Li and Xue Wanche's desperate resistance that Hou Junji's Imperial Army couldn't break through the Eastern Palace gates…"
"The King of Qin has escaped."
After Li Xuan undressed, he lay down quietly as the Crown Princess leaned into his burning embrace.""ChenQie knows."
"Did you know that King Qi's family was exterminated?”
Just as Li Xuan finished speaking, Zheng Guanyin suddenly stood up.""Wha…what? Where's…King Qi?"
"You really don't know what happened in the palace?”
This time, Li Xuan was taken aback.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the Crown Princess no longer had the relaxed smile from before. Her face was solemn and her eyes were filled with fear."Your Highness, what happened? This concubine…this concubine only knows that Your Highness and King Qi were ambushed at Xuanwu Gate. Your Highness was lucky enough to escape, but the King of Qin forced His Majesty to abdicate, causing His Majesty to fall seriously ill. After that, the Crown Prince led tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers back from the Vermilion Bird Gate. The King of Qin was no match for him, so he fled…"
"When I was lucky enough to escape, I personally witnessed King Qi's head being chopped off by that old bastard Yuchi…"
Waves of undulating cries drowned out the entire night.
Outside the bedchamber, a group of eunuchs and palace maids who had heard the news were shocked. They stood in front of the door and hesitated for a long time. The palace maids turned red and quickly left.
The eunuchs laughed slyly. The group of people gathered around and pointed at each other. They discussed animatedly," Your Highness has obtained the throne today. How awe-inspiring is that? Hehe…You must be celebrating with the Crown Princess Consort now…"
"How dare you talk about the Crown Prince again?”
A eunuch had just finished speaking when he was fiercely scolded by the old palace maid. He was so frightened that he hurriedly walked away.
A night of wind and rain, a hearty night.
The next day, before dawn.
Hundreds of civil and military officials were gathered in front of Taiji Palace. The heavy door was tightly shut. The morning bell rang, and after a few buzzing sounds like a dragon's roar, two eunuchs removed the bolt, and the palace door opened.
In the huge Taiji Palace, on the dragon throne.
Li Xuan had long changed into a brand new dragon robe. He wore a crown on his head, exuding a world-shaking aura.
The moment the officials stepped into the palace, they couldn't help but be stunned. However, in almost an instant, they immediately reacted and stood in line with the wooden board in their hands as if nothing had happened.
"Court!"
The new eunuch shouted, and hundreds of people held the board high."Long live Your Majesty…"
"Everyone, please excuse me!"
Li Xuan casually spat out these two words as everyone straightened their backs and replied in unison,""Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report…"
Following that, Wei Zheng, who had narrowly escaped death from prison yesterday, stood up. With a resolute expression, he looked straight at Li Xuan."I want to impeach Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling. These two are the masterminds behind the King of Qin's attack on Xuanwu Sect. Your Majesty…"
"Imperial Father is seriously ill and the Imperial Academy of Medicine is helpless. From today onwards, I will take over the Great Tang.”
Li Xuan acted as if he didn't hear him and interrupted Wei Zheng. He slowly stood up and said with his hands behind his back,""I want to bring peace to the world and ensure a long period of peace. However…the foreign powers are now eyeing the Great Tang like wolves and tigers, with their troops outside the pass.”
"Your Majesty, it's not a good time to start a war!”
Fang Xuanling was the first to step forward."Our Great Tang is still weak and does not have many soldiers to mobilize. If we start a war now, it will be a national war!"
