"Shouchun Prince, you should be imprisoned in the Prince's mansion right now, right?”
After the two sides met, Xue Huaiyi rode on his horse and looked down from above. He sneered and said,"You disobeyed the divine order without permission. This is a capital crime!”
"Get back to the Imperial Residence immediately. At the same time, write a letter of apology to the Sage Emperor and pass it to This Penniless Monk.”
The royal guards on the walls on both sides of the passage held their breaths as they watched.
Li Xian slowly raised his head and said with a cold gaze,""Who do you think you are to have the qualifications to order this king around?”
"Move aside for this king! Get lost as far as you can!"
Haha...
Xue Huaiyi laughed instead of getting angry. He felt that Li Xian was courting death!
"Shouchun Prince, are you not aware of your current situation?”
"What am I? You should ask the Sage Emperor!"
"If you kowtow to This Penniless Monk three times now and admit your mistake, This Penniless Monk will not pursue the mistake you made when you were young and ignorant.”
He originally did not have an excuse to make things difficult for Li Xian.
He did not expect Li Xian to take the initiative to give him something to use against him!
Li Xian looked at Xue Huaiyi calmly." You want this king to kowtow? Yes! You dismount first, this king will kowtow to you, do you dare?”
"You're just a bald donkey. Can you accept this king's kowtow?”
Humph!
Xue Huaiyi was enraged. He snorted coldly and was about to get off his horse.
Clang!
At this moment, the sound of a sword being drawn could be heard.
Xue Huaiyi looked over.
The sharp sword was coming straight at him. He was getting off his horse, so he couldn't dodge it.
Xue Huaiyi looked at the cold smile on Li Xian's lips and could clearly feel Li Xian's determination to kill him.
His handsome face was filled with horror and malevolence." You dare…"
Puchi!
Ah!
Screams rang out.
Li Xian's sword pierced through Xue Huaiyi's chest.
Crash!
The dozen or so followers protecting Xue Huaiyi raised their spears in fear and surrounded Li Xian.
Li Xian stepped on Xue Huaiyi's dead body and swung his sword.
Blood splattered on his face.
Xue Huaiyi's bald head rolled a few feet away.
He bent down and pinched the head with his hand. He stood up straight with a face full of blood.
The tunnel was silent.
Even Xue Huaiyi's retinue only dared to surround Li Xian and not attack.
The imperial guards on the walls of the tunnel looked at Li Xian in astonishment.
Everything happened too suddenly.
Li Xian suddenly raised Xue Huaiyi's hideous head and shouted,"Even if this kingdom is temporarily surnamed Wu, the blood of the Holy Emperor flows in this king!”
"How dare a dog with a foreign surname ride on this king's head and act tyrannically!”
"If you don't dare to kill this king, then scram!”
With that, Li Xian held his sword in one hand and the bloody head in the other as he strode forward.
Xue Huaiyi's retinue retreated in fear.
No one dared to stop Li Xian, whose face was covered in blood.
……
Great Ming Palace.
"Report! Report…"
Wu Zetian was reading memorials in the palace. The assistant ministers were sitting quietly at the side, assisting the emperor.
Suddenly, a panicked voice broke the silence in the hall.
The captain of the Imperial City rushed in in a panic and knelt down. He said in a panic,"I can't stop the Prince of Shouchun from entering the palace!”
Everyone in the hall raised their heads.
The expressions of the assistant ministers changed as they looked at Sacred Emperor Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian frowned slightly.
"Report! Report!"
Just as Wu Zetian was about to speak, another royal guard rushed in in panic.
"Prince Shouchun killed State Preceptor Xue in the passageway of Xuanwu Gate. We couldn't stop him in time, and Prince Shouchun is heading to the palace.”
Wu Zetian was furious.
Zhang Yizhi and his brother looked at each other. They were secretly happy, but they quickly asked,"Your Majesty, do you need us to go and take a look?”
"Bring this bastard here!" Wu Zetian's cold voice sounded.
"Report!"
Just as Zhang Yizhi and his brother left, another royal guard rushed in with a memorial in his hands." Your Majesty, the Prince of Xiang's memorial reveals that the Prince of Shouchun has disobeyed Your Majesty's will and escaped from the Prince's mansion.”
"The Prince of Xiang claimed that he did not teach his son well and that there was no such rebellious son. Your Majesty, please capture the Prince of Shouchun and punish him severely!”
The Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Wu Chengsi, stood up and personally handed the memorial to Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian looked at the earnest words in the memorial. While everyone was waiting quietly in fear, she casually threw the memorial on the imperial table."He's really a good father!"
The assistant ministers were so scared that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.
Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the number of people killed has increased day by day.
And every time the Li Imperial Family was involved, countless people would be implicated.
Everyone was afraid of being implicated.
Wu Chengsi frowned slightly, trying to figure out what his aunt was trying to say.
Was he dissatisfied with Li Dan's poor upbringing?
Or was he dissatisfied that Li Dan, as a father, had cut ties with his son so quickly?
If it was the former, he would raise his glass and drink!
Right now, the Wu Clan's inner circle was all for him to inherit the Wu Zhou Empire that his aunt had founded.
Because of this, they had already framed Li Dan's concubines, Lady Liu and Lady Dou, for cursing the Holy Emperor and causing them to disappear from the palace.
Li Dan was also demoted from the prince to the king of Xiang and imprisoned in the mansion.
The Wu Clan's territory was just around the corner.
If it weren't for Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi, and the rest of the Li Tang survivors who had secretly resisted and opposed them, they wouldn't have been able to do so.
Perhaps he was already the Crown Prince!
Although he couldn't guess what his aunt was thinking, Wu Chengsi was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
No matter how Li Dan tried to distance himself from Li Xian.
He was still Li Xian's biological father!
Li Xian escaping from the confinement and entering the palace with his sword was already a big taboo.
Xue Huaiyi was also his aunt's favorite escort.
"Your Majesty, should we summon the ministers?”Wu Chengsi suggested softly.
When the assistant ministers on both sides of the hall heard this, they glanced at Wu Chengsi.
Everyone understood that Wu Chengsi was using this opportunity to blow things up!
Wu Zetian naturally understood.
He looked at Wu Chengsi and hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Wu Chengsi was so excited that his hands were trembling. He bowed and hurriedly left.
He was afraid that Wu Zetian would go back on her word.
The officials in the hall were filled with worry.
Dong dong dong…
Li Xian, who had yet to walk out of the tunnel, heard the bell ringing from the south gate and looked up to the south.
The bell chimed nine times!
In the history of the Great Tang, it had only happened during the Black Tortoise Sect Incident!
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he walked steadily into the palace.
He wasn't afraid that things would blow up.
He was afraid that the matter was not big enough and that there were not enough people present!
Therefore, when he met Xue Huaiyi, he deliberately provoked him and took the opportunity to kill this bald donkey!
