In the pear garden in Chang 'an, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was listening to a song called " The Full Moon in a Beautiful Flower ".
Just as the actors were singing to Emperor Xuanzong's delight, Gao Lishi walked up to Emperor Xuanzong and said,""Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince and King E have something important to ask for an audience. It seems that they are very anxious."
"What's there to be anxious about these two rascals? Let them in." Tang Xuanzong said impatiently.
"Xuan! The Crown Prince and His Highness the King of E have come for an audience!" Gao Lishi shouted towards the outside of the pear garden.
Emperor Xuanzong waved his hand helplessly at the actors, who tacitly retreated.
Immediately after, Crown Prince Li Ying and King E Li Yao ran in in a panic according to what they had discussed earlier.
"Father! Father! Are you alright?" Crown Prince Li Ying pretended to panic.
"Bastard! What can happen to me?" Tang Xuanzong said angrily.
"Imperial Father, please calm down. Your sons and subjects heard Consort Hui niangniang say that someone was plotting against you in the palace and wanted to assassinate Imperial Father. At that time, your sons and ministers were all at a banquet, so they could only come empty-handed to protect Imperial Father!”Although King E had a serious expression on his face, he was secretly laughing in his heart.
"Who are you talking about? Did Consort Hui tell you?" Tang Xuanzong asked in surprise.
"Yes, Imperial Father! Concubine Hui said that she had received a secret letter saying that someone wanted to set up an ambush in the palace and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Imperial Father!”Crown Prince Li Ying added.
At this moment, the eunuch who had informed Li Ying and Li Yao was also brought in by Gao Lishi. He quickly ran to Tang Xuanzong and said,""Reporting to Your Majesty, Consort Hui Niangniang said that someone is plotting a rebellion and asked Your Majesty to return to the palace quickly!”
Li Yao looked at the young eunuch and immediately said to Emperor Xuanzong,""Father! It was him! It was this little eunuch who came to tell me and the Crown Prince about Consort Hui obtaining the secret letter.”
When the young eunuch heard Li Yao's words, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Preposterous! I want to see! Who is so bold as to attack me!”Tang Xuanzong stood up angrily." Men! Prepare horses for the Crown Prince and King E! Return to the palace!"
In the Imperial City, Consort Wu Hui had already prepared everything. She had spread out a large net and was just waiting for the big fish, Crown Prince Li Ying, to take the bait.
With her voluptuous figure, Consort Wu Hui had been favored in the palace for many years. Although she had not been conferred the title of Empress, her status in the harem was comparable to that of an Empress.
She yearned for that position and that noble title.
More importantly, only by becoming the empress could her position in the harem be stabilized.
After last year's incident, she had already seen her son's position in Emperor Xuanzong's heart. If there was no Crown Prince Li Ying, then the Crown Prince would definitely be Prince Shou Li Mao.
And now, as long as she completely eliminated Li Ying, she would be able to rely on her son to become the empress.
Just as Consort Wu Hui was still thinking about her wishful thinking, she heard the noise in the palace of the previous dynasty.
"Father! Where is Father? Where is Father?" King Shou, Li Mao, charged in with his personal guards.
When Consort Wu Hui heard her son's voice, she cried out in her heart and ran out.
" Mao 'er, why are you here…" Consort Wu Hui saw Light King Li Ju in plain clothes and Li Mao in military uniform. She immediately understood everything.
At this moment, Tang Xuanzong walked in with the Golden Guards and the Li brothers.
"Mao 'er! What are you doing?" Tang Xuanzong saw Li Mao in his military uniform and asked with vigilance and suspicion.
"Father! I'm late to save you! Imperial Father, please atone for your sins!" Li Mao immediately knelt down.
"What's going on?" Tang Xuanzong questioned sternly.
"Ah! Ah! Father was like this! The three of us didn't have any weapons or bodyguards with us. I could only hurriedly ask Seventh Brother to inform Eighteenth Brother, who was closest to the Imperial Palace, to bring troops to rescue you. Second Brother and I ran to inform you.”Li Yao, who was behind Tang Xuanzong, immediately explained.
Li Ying and Li Ju hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Yes! You guys did well." Tang Xuanzong nodded in appreciation.
"Consort Hui! Where did you hear that someone wanted to assassinate me?!”Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty asked Concubine Wu Hui again.
Consort Wu Hui had fabricated the news to begin with. She hurriedly replied,"ChenQie also, also, heard from Fuma Yang Hui. ChenQie doesn't know where Yang Hui got the news from!”
"Yang Hui?" Tang Xuanzong frowned and said," Gao Lishi! Pass on my verbal order to summon Yang Hui to see him! In addition, Golden Guards, listen up! Search the entire Imperial City! If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately!”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone accepted the order and retreated.
A moment later, the Prince Consort Yang Hui was brought in by Gao Lishi.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sat in the middle. On his left were four emoji sons. Three of them were laughing secretly, and one of them was dumbfounded.
On the right side of Emperor Xuanzong stood the flustered Consort Wu Hui.
"Yang Hui! I ask you! How did you know that someone wanted to assassinate me?!”Tang Xuanzong asked angrily.
"Assassinate the Emperor? How would I know? Emperor! I really don't know!" In fact, the cunning Yang Hui already knew the conspiracy. At this moment, he only wanted to pretend to be crazy and fool in an attempt to muddle through.
"Nonsense! You were the one who told me! Someone was preparing to ambush them in the main hall! Waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the emperor!" Consort Wu Hui couldn't help but ask.
Yang Hui understood that Consort Wu Hui wanted him to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Although Yang Hui didn't want to, his mother-in-law wanted him to take the blame. As a son-in-law, could he still say "no"?
Moreover, this mother-in-law was Consort Wu Hui, who might become the Empress in the future.
"Ah! Ah! I remember now! This official also, also found out by chance, only then, only then told Consort Wu Hui! The goal was to let Consort Wu Hui protect the Emperor!”Yang Hui bowed to the ground.
He was confident that Consort Wu Hui could rely on the Emperor's favor to protect him from death.
"Father! Your son does not understand one thing." Before Tang Xuanzong could ask, Li Yao took the lead and said,""Yang Hui! Let me ask you, regardless of whether this news is true or false.
When you learned of this news, you didn't inform Imperial Father, the Golden Guards, or even Lord Gao (Gao Lishi), but why did you inform Consort Wu Hui?”
"Then, Consort Wu Hui did not inform the Golden Guards, but went to inform the Crown Prince instead?" Li Yao asked with narrowed eyes. Brother-in-law, can you tell me what your intentions are?”
Li Yao asked what Tang Xuanzong was thinking. For the first time, Tang Xuanzong looked at Li Yao with a new gaze and nodded in admiration.
Yang Hui and Consort Wu Hui were rendered speechless by Li Yao's words.
They immediately panicked. Li Yao's question seemed simple, but there was a hidden killing intent in it.
Because Li Ying had almost been crippled last year, if someone threatened the Crown Prince at this time, it would be damaging the foundation of the country (the foundation of the country referred to the Crown Prince).
Consort Wu Hui shot a threatening look at Yang Hui. Yang Hui understood that he had to take the blame today no matter what.
"Qi, reporting to the emperor, this official was momentarily muddle-headed. I'm afraid that this news is true and will endanger the emperor's safety! The first thing he thought of was to inform Consort Wu Hui.”Yang Hui lay on the ground and said,"
"As, as to why Consort Wu Hui would inform the Crown Prince, I think it was because she was anxious to save the Emperor and panicked, so she went to look for the Crown Prince!”
"Consort Hui? Is that true?" Tang Xuanzong looked at Consort Wu Hui and said.
"Yes, sir! Yes! Your Majesty! This is what ChenQie thinks." Consort Wu Hui quickly said.
At this moment, the commander of the Golden Guards, Chen Xuanli, had returned from outside and reported to Tang Xuanzong,""Your Majesty, everything is normal in the Imperial City. No suspicious people have been found.”
"You may leave." Tang Xuanzong nodded." Gao Lishi!”
"Your subject is here!"
"Write a memorial on behalf of Zhen. Yang Hui was muddle-headed and almost caused a disaster, but on account of his loyalty, he was dismissed from office and imprisoned! In addition, the Crown Prince and the three princes have saved the Emperor and are eager to protect me. Their loyalty and filial piety are commendable. I will choose a day to reward them!”
Li Yao listened and shook her head helplessly." This Tang Xuanzong is indeed not simple! He knew Consort Wu Hui was playing tricks inside, but he still let Yang Hui take the blame.”
At this moment, the system's reward voice sounded in Li Yao's mind:
" Congratulations on achieving the hidden achievement: 'Revenge on Yang Hui'. The system has rewarded you with an additional 500 points. You can choose the attribute you want to increase!”
