With Qin Qiong in charge, everything in the East Palace is proceeding in an orderly manner. Just as Qin Qiong thought, since he took over the East Palace, people have been trying their best to inquire about the prince's injury through various channels.

However, this was resolved one by one under the investigation of Chang Sun Chong, the living king of hell in the Ministry of Integrity. In the past few days, he captured seven palace maids and three imperial doctors from the corners of the East Palace, and finally cleared out the smelly fish and shrimps...

...

"Show off, you can do it now." After taking a sip of the medicine in the bowl, Changsun Chong murmured while feeding Li Chengqian who was lying on the couch.

"Lord Changsun, you can't slow down and choke His Highness again." Zhang Sizheng tried his best to open Li Chengqian's mouth as wide as possible with one hand, and wiped the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth with the other hand.

"I have never even served my own wife like this, just be satisfied!" It was really difficult for him to do such delicate things with a man like Zhang Sizheng.

But it’s something we have to do, and no one can believe it at this time.

"You want to feed Princess Changle, and you are not afraid that His Majesty will break your legs." Zhang Sizheng replied with a look of disdain.

As a close confidant of Li Chengqian, he had a lot of contact with Changsun Chong, who had always had a bad temper, so he naturally spoke in a polite manner.

"Tch, you are just nakedly jealous. Don't worry. When the prince wakes up, let him tell you your family relationship, so that your Zhang family will not be cut off." After saying this, he fed Li Chengqian another spoonful.

"Ahem, it's your uncle." Li Chengqian, who had been lying down for five days, finally woke up due to Li Chengqian's choking. His chest was rising and falling violently, and his eyes were staring at Changsun Chong fiercely.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are finally awake. I will go and fetch Mr. Sun right away." After saying that, he ran out in a hurry, shouting, "Your Highness is awake."

"Hey, your highness, cousin, you finally woke up. You don't know that in order to ensure your safety in food and clothing, cousin, I cut my mouth, broke my legs when I ran, and my body was almost destroyed by exhaustion. Brother of the East Palace...

....." Seeing Li Chengqian wake up, Changsun Chong was also excited and incoherent.

Listening to Chang Sun Chong's talkative chatter, Li Chengqian looked at the familiar environment around him and let out a long breath. It's good to be alive...

"Mr. Sun, how is Gan'er's health? Will there be any sequelae?" Empress Changsun held Li Chengqian's hand and turned to ask Sun Simiao, who was writing the prescription.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Highness has a solid foundation. As long as you take the medicine on time, you will be cured soon."

"Cheng Qian, you can rest in peace and recuperate. I have asked the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to jointly handle the case, with Li Daozong and Dai Zhou leading the investigation. We will never let those rebels go."

During the period when Li Chengqian was in coma, Li Shimin's temper was extremely violent. Only the eunuchs in the Chengqing Palace were killed with a stick, and there were more than a dozen maids in the palace. This shows how much the emperor valued this prince.

But what's strange is that Li Daozong and Dai Zhou, two veteran criminal officers, didn't even detect a single person, as if these people appeared out of thin air.

What's even more intriguing is that not even the Li Jingmen found any traces of it. It's so strange that such a large force in Chang'an could be hidden from their own eyes.

"Then I thanked my father. Originally, I invited Mr. Sun here to nurse you and your mother's health, but I didn't expect that I would use it first. Mr. Sun, you always said that I am too foresighted.

Already."

Li Chengqian's self-deprecation relaxed the atmosphere in the palace, and even Empress Changsun, with twitching eyes, laughed and cursed at him.

"Since His Highness can joke, it seems that there is no problem, then the old minister will retire with success." Qin Qiong's face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally showed a smile.

He couldn't imagine what kind of blow it would be to the Qin family, Changsun family and other families who were closely tied to the East Palace once Li Chengqian failed to survive.

I am afraid that within a few years these families will disappear from the public, and we will always have to worry about attacks from the new prince and those aristocratic families.

Even the emperor would probably abandon them because of timely interests, which would really be a dead end. But fortunately, this was all a false alarm, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, it's been really hard for Uncle Bao during this time. Chengqian, you should thank your teacher very much. You must know that those little guys under you are not very easy to worry about."

Li Chengqian could only smile helplessly at the emperor's allusion. Before the emperor came, Changsun Chong used his broken mouth to describe to him in detail what had happened in the past few days, including of course the captains.

The matter of breaking into the palace...

After the emperor and others left, Li Chengqian's face dropped. He believed that the emperor was telling the truth. Even if the masterminds this time were his two younger brothers, Li Shimin would not let them go.

This directly proves that a mysterious new force is rising in the dark. Are they the aristocratic families, sectarian forces, or the princes who on the surface are eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, but secretly are always making small moves?

He didn't know who it was, but what he knew was that he couldn't wait to be beaten. This was not his temper and it was time to take that step. Even if Li Shimin misunderstood him, there was nothing he could do.

"I, Zhao Jie, and Qiu Shenji are here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After meeting the main staff of the East Palace, they spent the entire day. Li Chengqian had to endure the pain to summon the two most important people after dinner.

"No, in the past few years, people in the East Palace have been constantly promoted in the imperial court, but you two are the only ones standing still, helping Du Gou with miscellaneous tasks. Don't you think it's unbalanced?"

"I have little talent and virtue. I am satisfied with these things. How dare I feel resentment?" Li Chengqian's words frightened them both. How could they be better off if they took off their hats? He then kowtowed and explained.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything to you, please get up. My cousin asked Zhang Sizheng to prepare some ginger soup. It's cold at night and let them drink it to warm their stomachs."...

"In the past, I deliberately suppressed you. This is also a kind of protection for you. Especially you, Zhao Jie. With your temper, would you be able to survive today if I didn't?"

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Jie lowered his proud head. Since his father passed away, the Zhao family began to decline, and he became an orphan without anyone to care for him.

Without the care of the emperor and Li Chengqian, he would have never known where to beg for food, and why he would be an official. Just dream.

As for his mother, the Princess of Guiyang, she didn't even mention it. She didn't care about the love between father, wife and mother and son. She actually approached the Supreme Emperor and asked for a marriage before the period of filial piety was over. How shameless.

But after that, Zhao Jie no longer recognized him as his mother.

At the same time, he also opposed the Yang family on different occasions. If his uncle hadn't still cherished the friendship with his father and sent him to the East Palace to be Li Chengqian's companion, it wouldn't have been easy for the Hongnong Yang family to kill him.
