Chapter 217: The target turned out to be someone else

The wedding ceremony is over.

Princess Xiangcheng immediately walked to Li Shimin and whispered.

Li Shimin watched Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan get married with a smile.

But after hearing what Princess Xiangcheng said, his smile slowly faded and he was about to get up and leave.

However, he was relieved as soon as the idea came up, calmed down quickly, and ordered Li Junxian to check.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Du Ruhui asked in confusion.

He didn't listen to Princess Xiangcheng on purpose.

But the look on Princess Xiangcheng’s face is more solemn.

Not only that, Li Shimin also became solemn after listening.

Today is his daughter's wedding day, and Du Ruhui is worried that something will happen.

"Nothing!"

"Keming, congratulations again!"

Li Shimin shook his head, raised his glass and said.

It's not that I deliberately concealed Du Ruhui, but I didn't want Du Ruhui to worry too much.

Bishamon encouraged Xiao Rui to cause trouble, most likely targeting himself and all the ministers here.

But from what Princess Xiangcheng said, such a long time has passed and Bishamon has not been seen taking action.

Maybe Bishamon's purpose is not this banquet, but just to focus everyone's attention on the banquet so that he can implement other plans.

We still don’t know what plan is being implemented, so there is no need to let Du Ruhui know so quickly to save him from worrying and affecting his physical recovery.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Du Ruhui responded to Li Shimin.

He still felt that something had happened.

But Li Shimin didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask.

Next is the time when the bride is sent into the bridal chamber and the groom makes a toast.

The atmosphere slowly rose, and Fang Yuan began to toast to Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and others.

Table after table, Fang Yuan received batches of blessings and expressed his gratitude to the guests.

Even Pei Ji, who had a grudge, seemed to have put aside his grudge today and the two sides toasted to each other.

There were dozens of tables at the scene, and when Fang Yuan had almost finished toasting, Li Junxian came back again.

"Your Majesty, Tai'an Palace was attacked, causing numerous casualties."

Li Junxian whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

Because of Li Junxian's rapid voice, Queen Changsun and Du Ruhui finally heard it.

In an instant, their expressions changed drastically, and they almost screamed.

"Where is the Supreme Emperor?"

Li Shimin was also shocked.

But he was still calm and didn't make any noise, so the people around him couldn't hear it.

That is, the prince Li Chengqian, the third prince Li Ke and others at his table felt that something was going on.

“I don’t know yet!”

"My subordinates are mobilizing the Jinwu Guards to support us!"

Li Junxian responded quickly.

After finding out that Tai'an Palace was under attack, he immediately arranged for the Jinwu Guards to go over to support, and then came back to report to Li Shimin.

"I still have something to do. You drink your drink. I'm going back first."

Li Shimin nodded slowly to Li Junxian.

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and spoke loudly to the ministers present.

He still has no intention of telling everyone or letting everyone know.

Bishamon's invasion is terrible, and there may be other ministers in the court who are from Bishamon.

Moreover, it concerns the Supreme Emperor. We don’t know what the situation of the Supreme Emperor is now, so we can’t cause a sensation.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

Du Ruhui stood up and saluted Li Shimin.

He already knows what happened and will not retain Li Shimin.

Upon seeing this, other ministers also stood up, saluted Li Shimin, and respectfully sent Li Shimin off.

Fang Yuan was toasting at the last table. When he saw Li Shimin leaving, he realized that Li Shimin already knew about Xiao Rui.

But Fang Yuan still doesn’t know what Bishamon’s purpose is?

"Fang Yuan, entertain all the ministers well."

Li Shimin turned around and happened to see Fang Yuan, he laughed.

"I obey the decree."

Fang Yuan saluted Li Shimin gratefully.

Li Shimin nodded and did not continue.

He only left with Queen Changsun, and the others stayed behind.

However, as Li Shimin left, some people also said goodbye to Du Ruhui.

There were too many ministers present who came to the wedding for Li Shimin's sake. Now that Li Shimin has left and the wedding is complete, they should leave too.

Of course, some left, and most of them stayed.

Many of these people are related to Du Ruhui and are the political resources of the Du family.

After Li Shimin and others left, Du Ruhui took Fang Yuan and toasted to them one after another.

Fang Yuan was very grateful and followed Du Ruhui to toast them again.

Because Fang Yuan understood that Du Ruhui was paving the way for him.

With so many political resources, it will be easy to develop in the future.

After another toast, Fang Yuanyuan felt a little dizzy.

"Father-in-law, why did your Majesty leave?"

Fang Yuan was finally able to sit down.

Inform Du Ruhui about Xiao Rui and ask Li Shimin why he left.

The reason for Li Shimin's departure should be Bishamon's purpose. Fang Yuan was very curious about what their purpose was.

"It's the Supreme Emperor of Tai'an Palace!"

"I don't know how the Supreme Emperor is doing now."

Du Ruhui whispered.

After listening to Fang Yuan's statement, he finally understood the whole story.

Among the dignitaries of Chang'an City, the Supreme Emperor did not come.

Unexpectedly, Bishamon was targeting the Supreme Emperor and attacked Tai'an Palace.

"What is their purpose in staring at the Supreme Emperor?"

Fang Yuan was probably surprised.

He had thought that Bishamon was targeting the emperor, or all the ministers here, but he had not thought of the Supreme Emperor of Tai'an Palace.

"Maybe I want to force His Majesty to make some compromises."

Du Ruhui said uncertainly.

He knows a lot about Bishamon.

Bishamon was founded by Prince Yin, and he left his heirs in the world.

Catching the Emperor would not only force the Emperor to support Prince Yin's heirs, but would also give the Emperor a headache.

"Then what should we do?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
