Li Yuanying came out of the Imperial Study Room dripping with sweat and went back to the Imperial City Department to sit down, feeling a bit like he had narrowly escaped death.
In this operation, he did not hesitate to trick Li Yunji into becoming an assassin, hoping to kill him with one strike, but failed in the end.
There are two reasons why Li Yuanying bewitched Li Yunji. Li Yunji was talented in literature and beautiful, both of which fit Long Chen's characteristics.
Of course, there was also Li Chengdao’s tacit approval.
This was a carefully planned assassination. The Imperial City Division used all its power, but it failed in the end.
After Li Yuanying learned that the operation failed, he immediately ordered all the secret agents to lurk and not make any further moves.
If the commotion is too loud, the empress and Long Chen will definitely fight back.
Xie An, the head of the Imperial City Department, came over, holding a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Your Highness, the assassins have lost more than they have won. The superiors must know about it and won't blame them."
Assassin assassination is an extremely dangerous thing, and the probability of success is very low. It is normal for Li Yunji to fail.
Li Yuanying picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "My father did not blame me. This is definitely not a good thing."
When you have expectations for someone, you will blame them; when you give up on someone, you are too lazy to say anything.
Xie An didn't know what to say.
Outside the door, the eunuch Zhong Gui walked in quickly and said: "Your Highness, the superior has announced your entry into the palace."
Li Yuanying was taken aback and asked, "Does father-in-law know anything?"
As soon as he returned to the Imperial City, a decree was sent to him to enter the palace. It was either an emergency or a disaster.
Li Yuanying was not sure what it was.
Zhong Gui said: "Your Highness, don't worry, just follow me into the palace."
Zhong Gui only asked Li Yuanying to enter the palace with peace of mind without saying anything.
He doesn't know, he doesn't dare to say nonsense, and he speculates that it is contrary to the holy will, so he can't say anything.
Li Yuanying put down her towel and immediately followed Zhong Gui into the palace to see him.
Arriving outside the imperial study, Zhong Gui stopped and motioned to Li Yuanying to go in by himself.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Li Yuanying entered the royal study and paid his respects.
Li Chengdao was writing a letter and ignored him.
After a long time, the letter was written. Li Chengdao put the letter into an envelope and sealed it with clay.
"Go to Jade Buddha Pass in person and give this letter to Jing Tianlie."
Li Chengdao handed the letter to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying took it in panic, carefully put it into her sleeves, and bowed: "This matter is of great importance. Please make it clear, father."
Li Yuanying knew that the purpose of this trip was to bribe Jing Tianlie, but the matter was too big, and he did not dare to make any decisions without Li Chengdao's clear will.
"The empress intends to support Long Cheng'en to replace Jing Tianlie. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Jing Tianlie is not a fool, and he also knows it."
"He is at Jade Buddha Pass, holding 200,000 red flame troops. He is so self-reliant that the empress does not dare to touch him."
"But Long Chengen is developing too fast. This matter cannot wait. I want you to bribe Jing Tianlie and tell him that I will fully support him!"
"I will give him as much money as he wants to raise his troops!"
The Ministry of War of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was inspecting the soldiers and horses, and wanted to cut off Sedum Lie's rations based on the number of people.
For Jing Tianlie, soldiers and horses are his security. If the number of troops is reduced, his life will be in danger.
Li Chengdao used this to bribe Jingtian Lie, giving him food, grass and weapons, letting him keep the Red Flame Army, and even letting him secretly expand the army.
Li Yuanying bowed and said: "My son, I accept the decree!"
Li Chengdao looked at Li Yuanying and said in a low voice: "You haven't been doing well recently. Please reflect more."
Li Yuanying was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "My son is guilty, please punish me."
Li Chengdao said coldly: "What's the use of punishing you? This matter must be done well, remember!"
Li Yuanying kowtowed and said, "I will remember this."
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Be well prepared, choose some good players, and don't cause any problems again."
Li Yuanying kowtowed and said, "My son, please remember this."
Li Chengdao took a breath slowly and said, "Step back."
Li Yuanying stood up and exited the imperial study.
"Little fish."
A woman who looked like a 7 or 8-year-old girl came out and bowed abruptly: "Your Majesty."
"Send a message to Daughter City and ask Wang Wei to cooperate well."
Li Chengdao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yu'er.
"Accept the decree."
Xiao Yu'er turned around the screen and disappeared into the imperial study.
Li Yuanying hurriedly returned to the Imperial City Division, where the chief Xie An was waiting anxiously at the door.
Li Chengdao was very scheming and no one could guess what he was thinking.
Seeing Li Yuanying return, Xie An stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Li Yuanying said: "Prepare the manpower and set out with me tomorrow."
Xie An asked: "Where to go?"
Li Yuanying didn't say anything, but just said: "Get ready, we need the best manpower."
Xie An knew that the matter was important and could not be disclosed in advance, so he stopped asking further questions and immediately went to prepare manpower.
....
Qiuxing Hall.
Di Luoxi helped Long Chen back to the room, Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting stayed together, Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were busy, and Xiang Ning and Fei Linai helped tidy up the room.
"I'm all healed, but it makes me look like a useless person."
Long Chen said awkwardly.
Long Chen was indeed seriously injured and was very weak when he returned to the hospital.
But by the fourth day, my body had almost recovered.
The imperial doctor ordered Dong Ping to keep saying that Long Chen had taken a miraculous medicine. Long Chen also sent someone to ask Yueniang what exactly she had taken.
Yueniang said that what she gave Long Chen was Yuqing Pill, a very precious pill.
But Dong Ping said that the effect of Yuqing Pill was not that good.
Long Chen wondered if the effect of Xu Zhi's Dragon Pill was still there, but by some combination of circumstances, the poison was detoxified and the body recovered again.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you dare to take risks alone in the future, I will kill you with my own hands."
"Instead of dying in the hands of others, it's better for me to kill you and collect your body."
Di Luoxi's words sounded so loving, and Long Chen felt creepy.
Qingyue smiled and said: "Princess, don't scare him, Xiao Longlong is very weak now."
Zhang Qian reproached herself and said: "I will never let you go out alone again."
Bai Tingting also said: "I will follow you from now on, and nothing will happen again."
Di Luoxi picked up Long Chen and placed him on the kang, then asked Su Yourong to cook the medicine.
"You two are not as good as me in cultivation, so there is no point in following me."
Long Chen told the truth.
Bai Tingting said angrily: "With us here, you won't be obsessed by the vixen."
Long Chen was speechless...
After drinking the medicine, Long Chen sat on the bed, accompanied by Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting.
On a hot summer day, two basins of ice cubes were placed on the kang to cool down.
Zhang Qian was dressed very coolly. She didn't wear a breastplate, and Bai Tingting didn't wear anything either, just a gauze dress.
Long Chen hugged Zhang Qian, his hands slipped into the gauze with a smile...
Zhang Qian clicked her tongue and said, "What are you doing?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "There are only three of us in the room, what are we afraid of?"
Bai Tingting's face was filled with jealousy and she said, "Don't you treat me as a human being?"
Long Chen felt comfortable on Zhang Qian's body, turned around and hugged Bai Tingting's slim waist, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't treat you as a human being, it's that I don't treat you as an outsider."
As he said that, Long Chen put his hands into Bai Tingting's gauze clothes...
Bai Tingting said shyly: "Sissi is still here!"
Zhang Qian straightened her clothes and said, "I'll add some ice, you continue."
Zhang Qian stood up and went out with a basin of ice water. Bai Tingting's cry came from behind...
"You are a eunuch, why do you like to do things so much?"
"Ignore you, I'll add some ice too."
Bai Tingting got dressed and went out with a basin of ice water.
The window was slightly opened, and Feng He came in from the outside and said with a smile: "Hug you from left to right, you are so comfortable."
Long Chen said helplessly: "If I don't do this, how can I get rid of them?"
