Chapter 399 Fire of Desire

Chapter 399 The Fire of Desire

Soon, Changsun Wuji and his bed were carried into the main hall.

When Changsun Wuji saw Wang De, he planned to get up and follow Wang De into the palace.

But after all, Li Shimin gave the death order and said that he would be brought here with the person and the bed, so nothing else would work.

Ever since, such a strange sight appeared in the court hall today.

Looking at five thousand years of history in China, Changsun Wuji was the first person to come to court while lying on his bed.

"My minister, cough cough cough, Changsun Wuji, cough cough cough, greetings, cough cough cough, Your Majesty, cough cough cough, come down, cough cough cough."

Changsun Wuji struggled to sit up from the bed and bowed to Li Shimin.

In just one sentence, Changsun Wuji almost died from coughing.

Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji's face and shook their heads.

Looking at this posture, I don't think he will live long.

Li Shimin was also a little surprised at this moment. He originally thought that Changsun Wuji was pretending to be sick.

After all, after Jinyiwei was established, he quickly understood Muchuan's purpose.

To be honest, the reason why Changsun Wuji was able to stay home sick for so long without any punishment was all related to Li Shimin's secret signal.

However, when I took a look today, I didn't expect that Changsun Wuji was really sick. It seemed that his illness was not serious.

"Since the eldest grandson Aiqing is not feeling well, please go home and lie down."

"Come here, take the Prime Minister and the others to the bed and then carry them back."

After all, Changsun Wuji was Li Shimin's brother-in-law. Li Shimin would not let Changsun Wuji drag him around in the court. If he died of an illness, he would probably be resented by the Queen for the rest of his life.

As soon as he said this, the soldiers who were still out of breath carrying the bed became even more bitter.

This bed is not light at all.

After Changsun Wuji thanked him, he and his bed were carried away again.

Li Shimin seemed to have lost interest and ordered to withdraw from the court.

All the ministers heaved a long sigh of relief and hurriedly left.

After Li Shimin returned to Zichen Hall, he kept walking in the same place, seeming to be quite distressed about something.

Wang De was waiting by the side. Although he wanted to help Li Shimin take care of his worries, he did not dare to disturb him and could only act in a hurry.

"Wang De, how credible do you think what Muchuan said in the palace earlier?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked, which made Wang De suddenly stunned.

What Muchuan said before?

When Wang De thought back, he only remembered that Muchuan seemed to doubt the intentions of other princes and even the prince.

"I think what Muchuan said is nonsense. The princes have very good feelings and it is impossible for them to do such a thing."

Hearing this, Li Shimin also nodded.

"I feel the same way, but..."

Li Shimin sighed inexplicably, "After all, they are all my sons. Maybe they will really be like me."

Hearing this, Wang De was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.

He knew very well that Li Shimin was really suspicious of his sons!

"Wang De, go and inform the princes who are still alive. I want to see them all."

"yes!"

In the East Palace, Li Zhi's face became quite ugly after he heard that his father was going to summon him.

It is true that I did not assassinate my brother, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, this was a statement from his father, indicating that he was already suspicious in his eyes.

"Why are you worried, Your Highness?"

Lawrence smiled and said, "The death of other princes is actually a good thing for His Highness."

"In this way, His Highness's position as Crown Prince will be more secure."

Li Zhi glanced at Lawrence coldly and just uttered two words.

"idiot."

Inexplicably being scolded by Li Zhi, although Lawrence still had a smile on his face, he was secretly scolding him in his heart.

Li Zhi asked again: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Lawrence was shocked and waved his hands quickly: "It doesn't matter of course, I don't have such ability!"

Li Zhi nodded and didn't think much about it.

Lawrence is his subordinate, and he knows very well how much power Lawrence has under his command.

It is absolutely impossible to do such a big thing.

Apart from anything else, even he, the prince, was completely unaware of the distribution of spies in the palace.

Who did it?

Li Zhi had quite a headache.

If the opponent has such strength, if he is also positioned as an assassination target, he may also be capsized in the gutter.

Just thinking about the support he had, Li Zhi felt a little relieved.

As the holy weapon cherished by the Templars, the golden apple possesses extremely powerful power.

Li Zhi was very sure that as long as he held the golden apple, no one in the world could hurt him.

After dispersing everyone, Li Zhi took out the golden apple again.

Looking at the golden apple with a faint golden light in his hand, Li Zhi couldn't help but put his nose up and took a deep breath.

"Ah~"

Li Zhi groaned in great comfort. If anyone were here, they would be extremely shocked.

At this moment, Li Zhi's eyes were completely filled with gold, and his whole skin was also glowing with a faint golden light. He looked extremely sacred and indescribably weird.

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Zhi collected the golden apple and hid it.

When he appeared in the public eye again, Lawrence looked at Li Zhi's appearance and sneered in his heart.

Suck more, suck more, you are such a greedy fool!

Although the golden apple is a sacred weapon, it has the ability to stimulate people's desires. The more its power is absorbed, the stronger the flame of desire will be.

Lawrence was looking forward to it. If things continued like this, Li Zhi estimated that it wouldn't be long before he would be driven by desire and directly embark on the road of rebellion.

By then, the mission given to him by Li Chengdao will be completed, and his position in the temple will be promoted.

For the Templars, no reward can compare to the recognition of the Temple.

At least, that's the case for a fanatical believer like Lawrence.

Zichen Palace.

Li Shimin stared at Li Zhi in front of him. Inexplicably, he felt that this son was a bit strange.

Li Zhi did not lower his head like other princes, but looked straight at Li Shimin.

Although his eyes were full of respect, this respect was quite false and gave people an unreal feeling.

In fact, Li Shimin could see a very familiar feeling in Li Zhi's eyes.

The last time I saw this look was from Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Li Shimin frowned slightly. Although he couldn't explain it, he clearly felt that Li Zhi seemed to be affected by something.

Maybe it's the temptation of people's words, or maybe it's the erosion of some evil thing.

"Pheasant slave, I haven't called you that for a long time."

Li Shimin said with emotion: "In less than half a year, you have grown a lot, and you even feel a little strange to me."

Li Zhi was very disdainful of such tentative questions.

"Father, you are worrying too much. No matter how much you grow, your son is still your father's son, and this will never change."

"Yeah?"

Inexplicably, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solid.
