Chapter 304 Trading(1/2)
What Quan Wanji wanted was his mysterious effect among the crowd. Seeing that his purpose was achieved, he was afraid that Li You would be angry and dared not show off again. He smiled and said to Li You, "Your Highness, have you forgotten the prince?"
Now that he is involved in this case, Changsun Wuji is the prince's uncle, I don't believe he will sit idly."
"The teacher said it is right. The prince did participate in this case, but he wanted him to ask Changsun Wuji to face the King of Han. I am afraid that this king thinks that Li Chengqian does not have the ability yet. Whether he wants to deal with Li Ke depends on whether Changsun Wuji himself is willing."
Li You said worriedly that he knew Li Chengqian well and there was nothing better than cowardice and incompetence. The only thing was that he had a powerful uncle.
"Your Highness, didn't the prince send someone to the dungeon of Dali Temple to poison Zhang Zhong and destroy the evidence?
The crime of destruction evidence is quite serious. Will Changsun Wuji remain indifferent after knowing that this matter is what the prince calls it?"
Quan Wanji smiled sinisterly, "In fact, whether Changsun Wuji can be allowed to participate in this case to deal with the King of Han depends on how His Highness explains the seriousness of this matter to the prince. The prince is a very unsupportive person!"
After Quan Wanji said this, Li You thought of Li Chengqian's unintentional appearance. He seemed to have thoughts in his heart, and his face showed a playful smile.
"This matter is decided!"
Li You was in a much happier mood and his tone of speaking was much more relaxed, "But teacher, you are mainly responsible for Princess Fusang. You have to deal with this matter well. If it really doesn't work, you can only take risks and you must not let him confess."
Quan Wanji heard Li Ke say this and his back felt a chill. Was the enemy going on a dangerous move?
Isn't that just... He didn't dare to continue thinking, so he could only agree, but he was very happy inside.
Moreover, the reason why he dared to agree to Li You's suggestion so readily was that he did not tell Li You a bad news that he learned from Princess Fusang.
That is, the people sent by Fusang to spy on the intelligence of the Han Palace have been missing for several days, and they have never seen death or corpses in their lives.
His guess was that this person had fallen into the hands of the King of Han, and the reason why he concealed this from Li You was that he didn't want Li You to be distracted after hearing this.
Today, when he heard the harsh words that he would kill Princess Fusang and other insiders who were in the matter, he was shocked and at the same time he became much more stable.
At least, he felt that Li You was not that brave enough, and it was worth doing a lot of things for Li You in the future.
Li You was worried, and Li Tai was naturally happy.
When Li Ke was showing off his power in the Tai Chi Hall, he and his confidants such as Wang Gui and Du Yan formulated a strategy to leverage their strength to fight against the King of Han. He pretended to be a good person and be a plain person, but he didn't expect that the matter would be so big that it would cause a poisonous murder of the queen and the imperial concubine.
However, Li Tai himself knew that with Li You's ability and ability, he could not have such a big formation, and there must be a huge organization behind him to support him.
But today I realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageous. Li You was just a fool who was exploited.
However, even so, he was very happy. After all, he liked to watch Li You, Li Chengqian and Li Ke fight, and he liked to enjoy the fruits.
The person who was worried was naturally Li Chengqian. At the third three trial, a lot of evidence and witnesses suddenly appeared. Li Ke was not suspected of this case. In addition, the envoys from Fusang and Goryeo were arrested. This matter has developed into the issue of diplomatic relations between the three countries. Li Shimin will definitely not give up. So what will happen if he was lured by Li You and involved in this case?
Although the person who poisoned Zhang Zhong was not caught and he did not leave any handle, he was still a little uneasy.
And at this moment, Crown Princess Su Juan suddenly appeared in front of Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, do you have any worries?"
Su Juan asked, she couldn't say she loved Li Chengqian, but she was not disgusted with it. The only thing she could do was to help him as much as possible so that he could ascend the throne smoothly.
"Why do you have to ask the orphan if you know it yourself?"
Li Chengqian said impatiently.
"Your Highness, someone sent me a letter today and wanted to ask me to go to White Horse Temple to discuss secretly. Don't you want to know the content?"
Su Juan said lightly.
"Talk you in a secret conversation?
Who is it?"
Li Chengqian asked nervously, "What did you talk about?"
"trade!"
Su Juan said seriously, "He just wants to make a deal with us!"
“What deal?”
Li Chengqian asked sternly, "Who did you meet and what did you talk about?"
"Your Highness, it doesn't matter who you meet with. Can you not trust me?"
Su Juan said resentfully that since she married Li Chengqian, she has helped him wholeheartedly, which has changed Li Chengqian a lot. She no longer gets angry at all times and beats and scolds the palace maids and eunuchs like before.
"Love concubine, how can I trust you?"
Li Chengqian found that he was a little stern to Su Juan and said kindly, "But do you know?"
The case of the King of Gu Zai was persuaded by Li Ke to intervene in the case of being suspected of poisoning. I was afraid that if Gu was found, his father would definitely not let me go."
Seeing Li Chengqian's horrified look, Su Juan's attitude towards him was very complicated. "Your Highness, Fang Shan has been captured by the King of Han, and he has already told all the things you instructed him to go to Dali Temple to poison Zhang Zhong."
"What?"
Li Chengqian asked in horror, "Fang Shan was captured by Li Ke?
How could it be?
How did Li Ke know that Fang Shan poisoned Zhang Zhong?
How could Fang Shan confess his orphan?
What should I do if I am alone?
If Li Ke handed Fang Shan over to his father..." Li Chengqian was confused after hearing that Fang Shan was captured by Li Ke. His face was terrible and he didn't know what he was talking about. He walked back and forth in the hall and looked like he was almost crazy.
"Your Highness, the matter is not as serious as you thought. Who is the person you asked me to go to White Horse Temple to secretly discuss today?
They are from the Han Palace, and they just want to use Fang Shan to make a deal with His Highness.”
Su Juan looked at Li Chengqian who was panicked in front of her and said, "They want His Highness to terminate the engagement with Hou Ruoyi. They said that as long as His Highness writes to the Emperor and Hou Ruoyi to break off the engagement, Fang Shan will disappear in this world like a gust of wind, and no one will know about him anymore."
"That's what Li Ke said?"
Li Chengqian suddenly grabbed Su Juan and asked anxiously, "Let Gu and Hou Ruoyi break off the engagement?
Will Li Ke let the orphan go so easily?
He has been coveting the position of the prince for a long time!”
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that King Han also had a deep affection for Hou Ruoyi?"
Su Juan said lightly, "If Hou Ruoyi had not suffered from a serious illness for this, she might have been the one sitting in the position of the Crown Princess today, not the concubine."
"good!"
Li Chengqian agreed readily, "It is easy to break off the engagement with Hou Ruoyi. As long as Li Ke promised not to tell Fang Shan's affairs, I will write a memorial to report this to my father."
Li Chengqian was afraid that Li Ke would regret it, so he couldn't think about it and agreed to Li Ke's request.
"Your Highness, there is no hurry to do this. The King of Han means that it will not be too late for you to write a letter after he returns to Taiyuan. When your engagement with Hou Ruoyi is terminated, he will give you the head of Shangfangshan."
When Su Juan said the word "human head", her voice became very small, and she was obviously very brave.
"What if Gu broke up his engagement with Hou Ruoyi and Li Ke wanted to repent?
What should I do if I am alone?
Isn't it worth it?"
Li Chengqian was not as stupid as a pig. He knew that things had turned around and began to analyze the powerful relationship.
"Your Highness, I think Your Highness, the King of Han will not regret it, he has no need for this."
Su Juan said affirmatively, "Because the poisoning case was closed at that time, what's the use of King Han keeping Fang Shan?"
"It's not unreasonable to say this, but since that's the case, isn't he afraid of going back on his word?"
Li Chengqian asked.
"Your Highness, the King of Han can capture Fang Shan and ask from him that Zhang Zhong's death was what you did. So what else can he not do?"
Su Juan's face was also a little embarrassed. The scene where Li Ke talked to her at that time was vivid. In addition to meeting Li Shimin, he had such a fear of someone for the second time.
"Hmph! Li Ke, Gu will never let you go!"
Li Chengqian heard Li Ke’s threat to him from Su Juan and said gritting his teeth, “That’s all about this matter. Tell the King of Han that it is time to write a letter to his father and the emperor to terminate the engagement with Hou Ruoyi. I hope he can keep the agreement.
By the way, don’t tell anyone about this, including your father, do you know?”
Li Chengqian's last sentence was to Su Juan in a warning tone, but Su Juan herself knew the result of the leak, so naturally she would not get angry because Li Chengqian used such a tone to herself.
"Don't worry, your highness, I won't tell anyone."
Su Juan said, "Will I send someone to reply to the King of Han tonight?"
"Well! You will send someone to reply to Li Ke tonight, and say that Gu has agreed to his deal."
Li Chengqian said fiercely, "Li Ke, Gu really underestimated you. It turns out that you are using Li You!"
Li Chengqian agreed to Li Ke's request, but Su Juan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly sent her confidant to contact Li Ke.
Li Ke received Li Chengqian's reply at night.
Sitting comfortably on the chair in the study, Li Ke, who was drinking tea, showed joy on his face when he learned that Li Chengqian had agreed to his transaction request.
Yang En and Chen Qi in the study were also very happy. Li Chengqian's reply proved that their efforts during this period were finally rewarded.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
To be continued...
