The Crown Prince wore a pale yellow dragon robe, while King Qi wore a black-gold python dragon robe. The two of them were both very handsome.
If it was about looks, the Li family was not bad. However, they had high blood pressure passed down from their ancestors, and it was easy for them to live a short life.
"So Zhangsun Wuji was also detained by this kid. I was wondering why he would suddenly reconcile with Li Shiming when he was so happy to bite him.”
Li Yuanji sneered,
Li Jiancheng nodded and snorted.
"Indeed, he had this thought since he was young. He was bent on pleasing Imperial Father, so much so that even Chengdao and the other direct descendants were not as favored as him.”
Li Chengdao was the Crown Prince's legitimate son and had a noble status. He often entered the palace, so he should be doted on more. However, Li Yuan only doted on Li Chen among his grandchildren and had a very average impression of the other grandchildren.
This was also what annoyed Li Jiancheng.
"What's the use of being favored by a mere bastard son? Being able to reach this position was already the end!”
"Even if he took another step forward, it would be difficult for him to become a prince. The elders of the imperial clan would not agree.”
That was the truth.
Li Chen's identity as the son of a concubine had determined that he would only be a One-word Commandery Prince for the rest of his life. It was impossible for him to advance any further!
Even if Li Yuan wanted Li Chen to go higher, the old men in the imperial clan would strongly oppose it and even use their lives to remonstrate!
His upper limit could be seen very clearly, so it was not worth worrying about.
"Let's go, we'll enter the palace. Don't let Erlang take the lead and seize the opportunity to splash dirty water on us.”
Li Yuanji nodded and followed Li Jiancheng out of the Eastern Palace.
They were not on guard, so they only brought a few people with them.
……
A bright full moon hung high in the sky, shining on people's faces.
The moonlight was so bright that one could see the faces of others in the dark.
"Your Highness, it's peaceful today. There doesn't seem to be any big movements.”
Li Junxian couldn't help but ask.
Apart from Li Shiming's sudden appearance in the palace, no one else was found.
Everything was normal and boring as usual.
"Has anyone ever told you that it's always calm before a storm?”
Li Chen said calmly,
"Just wait and see. Guard your post well and don't neglect your duty.”
"Yes."
Although it was still silent and dark, he was watching meticulously and his gaze was dignified.
Da da da da.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is here! And King Qi…"
He muttered to himself and turned around to look at Li Chen.
He turned to look at Taiji Palace, which was still brightly lit.
……
Hou Junji and Yuchi Gong had been waiting in the alleyway outside Xuanwu Gate for a long time.
"I wonder how the king is doing now. Could something have gone wrong?”
"In my opinion, if the Crown Prince comes later, we'll rush out and chop him to death! Wouldn't it be over once and for all? Why go through so much trouble?"
Hou Junji looked at him like he was looking at a fool.
"That's great. You can kill your way out later. I can guarantee that the King of Qin will definitely push you out in the end to appease His Majesty's anger.”
He mocked,
"This way, we won't have to risk the crime of being beheaded, and the king won't have to bear the crime of killing his brothers.”
"Sacrificing you, Yuchi Gong, oh no, one of you is not enough. Sacrificing your entire family in exchange for the throne of the King of Qin, how good would it be for us old brothers to live a lifetime of glory and wealth!”
"You're too selfless. Later on, please go up and kill the Crown Prince and King Qi!”
Yuchi Gong was speechless.
This ridicule made him speechless.
Yes, sacrificing him alone could indeed help everyone, but was he willing to sacrifice?
No, he was unwilling! Why should these old fellows enjoy all the benefits after he died?
The world was already at peace, he did not want to be hacked to death by the last blade!
Clack clack.
"Silence!"
Hearing this, Yuchi Gong hurriedly pulled out a big firecracker and threw it into the copper pipe that he had prepared beforehand.
The copper pipe was facing the sky, making it look like a big bell. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The firecracker was detonated at the narrow part.
A rumbling sound rang out, causing the sky to tremble. The powerful sound wave caused their ears to turn numb!
A huge commotion, like an earthquake!
"Damn, this is too loud! Your Highness should have heard it, right?"
Yuchi Gong covered his ears and complained.
They had no choice. If they used fireworks or other signal flares, they would be easily discovered and the risk would be higher.
Although this loud noise was loud, it would not be thought of as a signal. It would only be thought of as an explosion somewhere.
Boom!
"What happened?"
Li Yuanji also frowned and said,
He grabbed the reins with all his might and used brute force to calm the warhorse under him down before he moved forward again.
