Chapter 182: The Conspiracy in the Celebration (Part 2)

A small accident occurred in Li Xiu's plan. Li Cui actually installed two spies among the warriors recruited by Li Mao. This matter was very hidden, and even the staff member Zhang Yu didn't know.

According to the plan, Zhang Yu should notify Li Cui and encourage Li Cui to lead the warrior to Baoningfang, take action first and then report, giving his brother a surprise and taking the blame.

But now an accident has happened. The consequence of this accident is that Li Xun also participated, so it is not easy to fool Li Cui.

When Zhang Yu arrived, Li Cui had already learned Li Mao’s secret and was discussing countermeasures with his brother Li Xun.

"Mr. Zhang is here, I have something urgent to ask for a meeting!"

Li Xun nodded, "Let him in!"

Zhang Yu quickly walked into the room, bowed and said, "I just received an important news. It is very likely that Li Mao had discovered the hiding place of Li Feng's other occupant wife."

Just as Li Cui was about to speak, Li Xun waved his hand and told Li Cui not to speak. He asked calmly: "How could he know, sir?"

"Justice just now came to report that Li Mao sent three teams of warriors to Baoningfang. Baoningfang is a poor settlement area and there is no important place in normal times. There is only one reason why Li Mao attaches so much importance to it."

Li Xun nodded, and Zhang Yu's analysis made sense.

"Sir, we just got the information that Li Feng's illegitimate son was indeed hiding in Baoningfang. Li Mao is going to take action tonight."

Zhang Yu's heart sank. How could they get the news? Do they have other channels?

He asked without saying a word on his face, "What should you do with Your Highness?"

Li Xun hesitated and said, "I think Li Mao's task must be arranged by the emperor. If Li Mao catches people, he must be handed over to the emperor. It is enough to let the emperor deal with Li Guan. I think it's better to stay out of the matter. We have no idea about this. What do you think?"

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "I understand Your Highness's concerns. It is indeed risky to participate in this matter. I also agree with Your Highness's analysis. If Li Mao catches someone, he will definitely hand it over to the emperor, but have your highness ever thought about how the emperor will deal with this matter?"

Li Xun pondered for a moment and said, "This is what I am a little confused about. I want to hear what Mr. thinks."

"Why did the emperor catch Li Guan's handle? This handle is to depose Li Guan and let His Highness take office. I don't think so. Once the emperor catches Li Guan's handle, he will definitely use it to control Li Guan. A prince who can control the regent. Will the emperor support deposed him?"

Before Zhang Yu finished speaking, Li Cui slapped his thigh hard, "I'm just saying it! Letting Li Mao get evidence is a huge threat to us!"

Li Xun said calmly: "What if I told my father that the emperor seized Li Feng's handle?"

Zhang Yu sighed, "If the Regent is in good health, you can complain directly, but Your Highness knows what the consequences will be if you tell the Regent? Even if the Regent's body holds up, will he blame Your Highness for not saving you when you see him die, and not considering the brotherly relationship, and even doubt whether Your Highness Cui has colluded with Li Mao?"

Li Xun was shocked. He actually forgot his father's body. Once his father's body could not stand it, he would probably not even have the chance to change the prince.

And Zhang Yu is right, his father may blame himself for standing by and letting the emperor take away the evidence and putting him in a passive state.

Li Xun walked a few steps behind his hands, finally nodded, and said to Li Cui: "The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. You lead the warrior to Baoningfang to monitor Li Mao. Once he gets the evidence, you immediately take the initiative to grab the person back for me. This evidence must fall into our hands."

Li Cui was overjoyed and clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, brother, I will definitely succeed!"

Li Xun said to Zhang Yu again: "Please follow Li Cui and remind him to keep calm!"

.........

The wedding in the royal palace has reached its most lively time.

Qinglu is built in the yard, which is a semi-open style. The Qinglu is covered with thick carpets and a wide table is placed on one side. Two large candles on the table are burning vigorously. Above the candle is a large character for hiking, with colorful silk hanging on both sides.

At this time, Qinglu was extremely lively inside and outside, with nearly a hundred guests crowding, and two newcomers stood side by side. The ceremony held in Qinglu was to tie up and drink wine. At this stage, the two brides married together did not attend, and they went directly to the third stage, that is, the tent sprinkling stage.

The witness was Pei Kuan. He sat aside with the woman's parents, while Concubine Wu Xian sat opposite him, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids.

In fact, there are many game programs, such as when the groom rides on a horse and shoots three arrows into the distance. At this time, the groom toast his father-in-law and toast three times in a row. After the father-in-law drinks, the groom can dismount.

However, various game programs are optional, mainly because the time is the time and the auspicious time is here, and all game sessions must be cancelled.

Another detail is that the wedding cannot be held too late. There is a curfew at night in Chang'an. The door of the house must be closed after the hour of Hai. The issue of guests returning home must be considered. Most wedding ceremonies are relatively simple and compact, and do not waste time.

On the contrary, weddings in many small counties were even more lively, with guests having fun all night, and various festive programs emerged one after another, and they did not leave until midnight.

"House and wife!"

The host shouted, and his mother-in-law Liu tied the two hairs in the plate into a concentric knot. The maid held the plate to testify to the guests, which attracted applause.

The emcee shouted again: "Drink Hey wine!"

Hebei wine is a cup of wine, which is a very important part. Generally, a melon, that is, a gourd, is used to cut it into two pieces, dig off the pulp of the melon, and leave two melon ladles, filling it with fine wine.

Amid the laughter, a couple slowly drank the wine.

The guests paid more attention to the bride, but the bride wore a veil on her face, and her appearance was faintly visible, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly. She was wearing a veil in Qinglu, which is relatively rare.

For a moment, the guests were talking.

"What exactly does the bride look like? Why don't she keep the veil?"

"I haven't seen it before. I heard it's a small family. Maybe I haven't seen anything. I'm a little nervous!"

"Don't talk nonsense. The thirty-eighth prince didn't say anything, and the princess had no objection. Why are you anxious?"

Liu also felt it was inappropriate and whispered to her husband: "Do you want to remind Yuhuan to take off the veil?"

Yang Xuanyan shook his head, "This is what the son-in-law means. Many of the guests here were not invited by him, but arranged by the inner palace. He does not want Yuhuan to be paid attention to!"

Liu suddenly realized that of course they knew that their daughter was beautiful and that if it spread, it would cause trouble for her daughter and son-in-law.

Concubine Wu Xian looked at her son with joy and married a wife. She fully supported her daughter-in-law refused to show her face. Of course, her daughter-in-law's beauty was for her son.

With so many male guests, if the daughter-in-law showed her peerless beauty, many people would have dirty thoughts. Concubine Wu Xian would never want to see this scene.

"House and wife, and then worship parents!"

Under the guidance of the wedding girl, the newlyweds saluted each other and bowed to their parents.

Then the emcee shouted, "Send it to the account!"

Sprinkling the tent is the last and more important part of the wedding. There is also a big tent behind Qinglu, and a small tent is placed in the big tent.

The two brides married together were already sitting in the tent. Of course, Gongsun Xiaomei and Yang Yupei also had to drink Heiyu wine, but they drank alone with the groom on their wedding night.

Li Xiu took Yang Yuhuan's hand into the tent and sat down on the carpet. There were four people in the tent.

The maid put down the curtain. At this time, all the female guests who attended the wedding sprinkled petal candies and copper coins on the tent, wishing the newlyweds a happy marriage and a good son soon.

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

In Xingqing Palace, the coachman handed a small copper box to Li Guan. "Your Highness, the villain is packing the carriage. A palace guard threw it into the carriage and said it was of great importance and asked the villain to hand it over to your highness. The villain did not dare to delay, so he sent it here quickly!"

Li Feng took the bronze box in surprise and asked, "What kind of palace guard is it?"

"I've never seen it before, very agile, I'll skip over the bushes and disappear."

Li Wen opened the copper box and his eyes suddenly formed a line. In the copper box, he actually had the silver medal he handed to Jiangnan as a token of his token.

With the silver medal here, Jiang and Gui'er will inevitably fall into the hands of others, and there is also a handwritten letter proving that Gui'er is his son. For a moment, Li Wen's mind was blank.

"Your Highness, they have left a message!" the coachman whispered.

When Li Feng heard that the other party had left a message, he hurriedly asked, "What message?"

"They only said one thing, and asked His Highness to arrive at Baoningfang before the hour of the hour tonight to negotiate. They were not allowed to lead the guards, otherwise they would make the matter public tomorrow!"

“Did they say what to negotiate?”

The coachman shook his head quickly.

"When is it now?" Li Feng asked hurriedly.

"It's less than half an hour after the hour of Hai!"

Li Feng gritted his teeth and ordered: "Prepare the carriage immediately and go to Baoningfang!"

Li Wen got into an ordinary carriage. Although the other party did not allow him to lead the guard, he still brought a personal bodyguard. The carriage waved its whip and urged the carriage to drive towards Baoningfang quickly.

Li Wen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Since the other party asked him to go to Baoningfang for negotiations, there should be a chance to save it, it depends on the conditions of both parties.
