What happened last night was nailed to Li Feng's back like a poisonous sting. He was usually cautious and basically had no handle. Only six years ago, he fell in love with a brothel woman and redeemed her and raised her as a home wife. Later, the woman gave birth to a son for him. She is four years old this year. Neither the woman nor her son has an identity, and is his illegitimate son.

The biggest handle for Li Feng is Li Feng and his secret that he has always hidden. Of course, although there have been rumors about this matter, no one can get the evidence.

What happened last night made Li Feng feel chill, although he sent someone to verify that someone pretended to be himself and his outdoor room last night.

But it means that someone is already making a fuss about this matter.

Li Feng had already seen the clues. His father did not make up his mind to change the prince. He could see this from the fact that his mother was not deposed. He still had a glimmer of hope.

This means that the battle between him and Li Xun will intensify. Now that his outdoor room and his illegitimate son have surfaced, Li Wen also knows that even if it was not what Li Xun did, it was done by those who supported Li Xun.

This is indeed his own life! Once it is made public, his virtue will have big problems. Once his virtue is deficient, his position as prince will not be preserved.

Helplessly, Li Feng had to find his mother Changsun, hoping that his mother could help him with ideas.

After hearing his son's statement, Changsun was furious, "You are so confused. You are a dignified prince. How can you raise another home wife? How can you have an illegitimate son? If all the officials of the court know about it, your father will never be able to protect you!"

"The child is also confused for a moment!"

"Hmph! I'm still confused for a while. I've been six years old and you haven't found a solution. I have to find regrets until the end of the matter. Could it be that your father said that you don't have the courage and your kindness will beat Li Longji in the future?"

"Mother, it's too late for the child to regret it, but if my mother doesn't help me, no one will help me."

"What do you want me to do? What can I do?"

"Or why, mother explain to her father."

"Nonsense!"

Changsun slapped the table in anger, "Do you want to make your father angry? Can he accept that you married a brothel woman and even had an illegitimate child? What did the imperial doctor say? What is the consequence of his excitement? Do you not know?"

Li Wen lowered his head. As long as his father could accept the outdoor and illegitimate child, he would marry the outdoor and remove the child's identity as the illegitimate child. This matter would be considered whitewashed.

But my mother was right, my father's body could not withstand such stimulation.

"Mother, what should the child do?"

Changsun was angry, and she knew that this was related to her son's status as a prince, and she could not keep it aside.

Changsun asked for a moment of silence: "Do they live in Chang'an?"

Li Wen nodded.

Changsun sighed, "Then send someone to send them away, to Jiangnan or Bashu, hide them from afar, and talk about them in twenty years!"

.............

At night, the gate of the yard was not closed yet, and two dilapidated carriages drove into Baoningfang in the south of Chang'an City.

Baoningfang is a place where the lower-level people live. Most of the houses in the yard are dilapidated, the roads are muddy, and there are randomly built shabby sheds everywhere.

The two carriages drove into the innermost part and stopped in front of a two-acre house. A boy jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door. Soon, the gate of the courtyard opened and it was a little maid.

The carriage door was then pushed open, and a man in a black and gray gown and a big straw hat was walked down. The straw hat completely covered his face, and a man in gray was faintly visible and ghostly.

The man walked into the yard, and a pretty young woman ran forward, hugged the man tightly, and tears burst out.

The man gently stroked her hair and asked in a deep voice: "Are you ready?"

The young woman nodded with tears in her eyes.

"I have no choice. Someone is watching you. Once your identity is exposed, I will be completely finished. You can't live. Go out to hide for a few years and I will take you back."

The man wearing a hat was Li Feng. The situation was against him, so he had to send away other brides and illegitimate sons who were hiding in Baoningfang.

"I know, I will leave tonight with the child!" said the young woman with grievance.

"Where is Xiao Ning?"

"He's already asleep."

"Listen to me, you can go out of the city by carriage, and then take a boat to Jiangnan. I have a house for you in Suzhou. I have all servants. I will give you 50,000 yuan of flying money first, and I will send someone to you in the future. If you take care of your children, live there with you. After I become the Regent and stabilize, I will send someone to bring you back. My father is no longer there. I will have the same position as you and your children. Do you understand?"

"I know, I'm just waiting for news from my husband."

"The carriage is ready, pack up and leave!"

Li Feng did not dare to let women and children stay for a long time, for fear of long nights of dreams, so he urged them to leave quickly.

He handed a small brocade bag to the woman, "It's a token inside, it's packed."

The woman had no choice but to take the brocade bag, go back and pick up her sleeping son, take two maids to a carriage, and then drive out of the city.

Li Wen stood at the door, watching the carriage walk away. He let out a slight tone, then got on another carriage and returned to Xingqing Palace.

But he didn't know that in the dark, there were several pairs of eyes staring at their every move.

...........

Li Xiu was sitting in the study in the back house reading a book, and a maid reported outside the door, "Your Highness, General Pei has something urgent to ask for a meeting!"

Li Xiu stood up and went to the study outside the atrium, where Pei Min was already waiting.

"Your Highness, there is an emergency!" Pei Min stepped forward to report.

Li Xiu smiled and waved his hand, "Let's talk about it when you enter the house!"

The lights were already lit in the outer study room, and Li Xiu sat down and smiled and said, "Tell me! What emergency situation?"

"Brothers from Baoningfang said that Li Feng sent the woman and the child onto the carriage and left the city."

The reason why Li Xiu knew Li Guan’s secret was that he used 3,000 guan to buy Li Guan’s coachman. For a small person like the coachman, 3,000 guan is enough to make him betray everything.

"Stay focused?"

"I've watched it, my highness, when will I take action?"

Li Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Go away from Chang'an and then take action, so that Li Feng can believe that the woman and the child have indeed left Chang'an."

"I understand!"

Pei Min bowed and left in a hurry.

Li Xiu walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at Pei Min's figure walking away, and an undetectable sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Changsun Hongren is indeed not wrong. Li Jun is too generous, even weak and lacks courage. Such a person will sooner or later destroy Li Chengqi's great cause.

But for Li Xiu, it is not a good thing for him to completely control the imperial power. As the saying goes, the birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden. If the emperor has no opponent, he will gradually become indulgent. Will he think of Yang Yuhuan again?

The key is to get rid of Wu Huifei and Li Mao, as soon as they will become their own major concerns.

.........

At the Beijing Baijiu House, Liu Quan met Zhong Kui again.

"Did Li Cui say nothing about your wife and children leave?" Zhong Kui asked with a smile.

"He asked, and I told him that since his son could not study in the Imperial Academy, he would go back to his hometown to study as a great scholar."

"Isn't he embarrassed?"

Liu Quan shook his head, "He was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he comforted me, saying that there was no future in studying in the Imperial Academy, and that few students were admitted to the imperial examinations. I felt relieved to praise my correct decision."

"Have Li Mao and Li Cui had any contact in the past two days?"

"Yes! They were drinking together last night, as if they said that Li Feng had set up a trap and he almost fell for it."

“Have you mentioned the reason?”

"He said it, but he drank too much and said it vaguely. I felt it was related to something... the illegitimate child."

Zhong Kui handed a letter to Liu Quan, "Look at this letter carefully, and then you will know what to do next?"

Liu Quan nodded and settled the letter. Zhong Kui then smiled and said, "Look slowly, burn the letter after reading the letter, and order whatever you want to eat yourself. I'll take a step first."

Zhong Kui left in a hurry.

Liu Quan poured himself a glass of wine, opened the letter and looked carefully, while slowly tasting the wine.

After reading the letter, he got up and came to the incense burner, threw the letter into the incense burner, and the letter burned and soon burned to ashes.

Only then did Liu Quan put on his coat and return to Li Mao's mansion. He knew what to do.
