Jifu, Tongwumen Middle Street in the capital, is a famous trading house in the capital. The princess's team arrived here all the way after entering the capital.
But the strange thing is that among the princess's team, only Xia Shang's carriage stopped. The princess and others did not stop at all, and moved forward without knowing where they went.
First, a housekeeper from the Ji Mansion quickly sent Li Youlan to a separate room to recuperate. Then another person hurriedly came to Xia Shang. While leading the way, he said to Xia Shang: "Master, please hurry up, you only have one stick of incense time."
Before Xia Shang understood, the door of a room in front of him had been opened. It was dark and nothing could be seen inside. However, Xia Shang was hurriedly led in by the leader.
As soon as Xia Shang stepped into the door, he heard the door slam shut behind him.
There was an unknown lamp burning in the dark room, and there was an incense burner on the table in the main hall, with an incense stick stuck on it, and there were only a few green smoke and sparks burning.
Xia Shang was confused by everything that happened during this period. Without understanding the situation, he heard a weak voice coming from the bed in the side hall: "Mr. Xia...are you here?"
Listening to the voice, it is none other than King Yong Li Shou.
After all, I haven't seen him for more than a year. When I hear Li Shou's voice again, I don't know how much weaker than before.
Xia Shang frowned and quickly walked into the side hall. Through the dim light of the candlestick beside the bed, he could vaguely see the Yong Wang Li Shou who was half lying on the bed.
At first glance, it seems that Xia Shang and Li Shou have not seen each other for a year. Li Shou's temples are already gray and wrinkles are prominent on his face. He looks ten years older than his second brother Li Xiangyang.
The key is his legs...
Xia Shang's heart sank: "His Royal Highness King Yong, what are you..."
Xia Shang came to the bed and sat down. King Yong Er turned over excitedly and held Xia Shang's arm: "Mr. Xia, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you...I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Your Highness, we haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you so old? And your legs..."
Li Shou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's nothing serious. These are the losses that should occur on the path chosen by this king."
"Are your legs from the previous attack in Suzhou?"
A hint of hatred flashed in Li Shou's eyes: "Yes, these legs are a gift from my eldest brother. Today, the king appears in the capital, and it is also a gift from my eldest brother."
"Your eldest brother?" Xia Shang was suspicious, "The eldest prince Li Xin?"
Li Shou did not answer, but the hand holding Xia Shang's arm suddenly tightened: "I wanted to withdraw from the whirlpool of power, but I never thought that even if I fled to Jiangnan, my cruel elder brother would not let me go. This is fine.
, but it allows me to risk everything to fight him in this desperate situation. Even if I die, it will not make him feel better."
"Your Highness thinks your leg injury was caused by Li Xin?"
"Who else could it be? All evidence points to him!"
Xia Shang frowned: "Is this what the princess told your highness?"
Li Shou nodded and said nothing more, but the hatred in his eyes became more obvious.
Xia Shang also stopped, thinking in silence for a long time, and gradually understood Nangong Chuxin's intention.
But when he realized this, he couldn't help but feel wary and afraid of Nangong Chu.
It turns out that Li Shou is just a pawn in the whole situation, and it is Nangong Chuxin who really holds the power. It is not Li Shou who wants to conquer the world, but Nangong Chuxin who wants to conquer the world. In order to let Li Shou return to the capital, this woman
He didn't even tell Li Shou about the plan, so that Li Shou himself believed that his elder brother Li Xin was responsible for the assassination.
Think about it, and only in this way can the whole scene be realistic without any mistakes.
This not only allowed Li Shou to return to the capital smoothly, but also inspired Li Shou's fighting spirit.
As for why she dared to let Xia Shang and Li Shou meet, she also expected that Xia Shang would not tell the truth.
Because once Xia Shang told King Yong the whole story, the target of King Yong's hatred would be transferred from Li Xin to Xia Shang, and Xia Shang would definitely not do such a thing that would cause trouble.
Indeed, Xia Shang really chose to shut up after knowing this. He would not tell King Yong. It would be a good thing for Xia Shang if the other party could blame Li Xin for the matter. But Nangong Chuxin's actions made Xia Shang heartbroken.
Displeased.
I thought that I gave Nangong Chuxin advice with good intentions, but in the end he was tricked by the other party, which was really aggrieved.
Seeing that Xia Shang didn't say anything, Li Shou suddenly grabbed Xia Shang's hand and said, "Mr.
Let me inherit the throne and let Li Xin die without a burial place. Please tell me, now that I have successfully arrived in the capital, what should I do next? How long will it take to get rid of Li Xin?"
"Get rid of Li Xin?" Xia Shang smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
"What? What's the problem, sir?"
"I'm afraid I will disappoint His Royal Highness Prince Yong."
"What do you mean, sir? As long as I can get rid of Li Xin, I am willing to cooperate with you, sir."
"It's not a question of whether you are willing or not, but a question of whether you can. Xia is very grateful for His Highness's trust, but Xia is not a god. I can't do whatever His Highness says. Now Li Xin is the most powerful person in the capital.
He is a rising figure. He has already won the battle for the crown prince, and the possibility of inheriting the throne is far higher than anyone else in the world. Let alone getting rid of Li Xin at this moment, even if he is allowed to step down from the position of crown prince, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
This matter, and His Highness is so impatient, is exactly the opposite of what I have planned for His Highness."
Li Shou was immediately unhappy and said in a cold tone: "Speak more clearly."
"As far as I can see, this moment is not the time for Your Highness to take action. My advice to Your Highness is to wait and see what happens and wait for the opportunity."
"You want me to do nothing?"
"yes."
"How can this be?"
"If we do nothing, won't we see Li Xin taking over the world?"
"I have already told Faye Wong before, and now I will explain it in detail to Your Highness." Xia Shang paused, "For now, how does His Highness the power of King Yong compare to the second prince Li Xiangyang?"
"A far cry from Li Xiangyang."
"So what if Li Xiangyang is better than Li Xin?"
"It's also quite different."
"So Your Highness still wants to fight with Li Xin?"
"But this is no reason to sit still and wait for death. I said even if it means death..."
"The struggle for power is not a battlefield, and it cannot be achieved by not being afraid of death. His Highness's actions at this moment will only expose himself. Li Xin has not yet regarded His Highness as a stumbling block, but if he really regards His Highness as an obstacle, he must know that the obstacle will be very serious.
Simple. I would like to advise Your Highness, don’t do anything like beating an egg against a stone."
Li Xin pondered for a long time: "How long will I wait until?"
"I don't know. I can only tell His Highness that you must be patient in the next time. Your Highness is not the only one who is anxious. Now is the time to be patient. Even if you watch Li Xin register, you have to be the last one."
