Chapter 28 Section 16

"Tell me what's going on?" "No, my lord. The villain is just afraid. The villain encountered such a thing when he came to the palace for the first time. The villain is really scared to death." Cui Hao finally controlled his emotions and regained his composure.He can't say anything to Li Longji, although he has a good impression of Li Longji, and it seems that Li Longji treats him well.However, after experiencing so many things, he finally had some necessary experience and prudence in his young mind. Before he saw the development of the situation clearly, he should keep his lips tightly shut.

Li Longji is not an easy person to dismiss. "Let me put it another way, can you tell me what you know?" "The villain doesn't know anything." "You know that the emperor will be poisoned to death today. Thank you for your kindness. You don't want me to be poisoned to death too. You saved me, didn't you?" "My lord, please don't guess so casually, I really don't know what's going on. If you want to know, the villain will definitely tell you everything he knows after you get out." Cui Hao was a little flustered in his heart, but fortunately he Also able to control myself.There was a bit of regret in his heart at this time, and a little bit of complacency.His kindness made him show his feet in front of Li Longji, what a hell!His cynical master once said: What is good intentions?Kindness is a stupid soft-heartedness, the seed that sows misfortune for oneself.Cui Hao had some doubts about this before, but now he believes it.

What Cui Hao felt proud of was that he cleverly held Li Longji back. If Li Longji could get out of the palace alive, he would definitely be able to take Cui Hao out, because if Li Longji didn't report him at this time, Li Longji would have become a His accomplice was gone.What reassured Cui Hao was that he suddenly thought of a very interesting question, is the death of the emperor good for Li Longji, otherwise why would he take the risk of not reporting himself? Since the gate of the palace has been closed and the internal and external traffic is cut off, the manpower in the palace seems a little tense.Li Longji and Cui Hao were sent to guard the emperor's remains together with Princess Anle in the Dragon Palace.

The emperor's stiff head was still thrown back, and there was no way for his body to lie flat.If it is among the people, the easiest way is to break the neck bone, but the emperor is in front of him, and these inexperienced young people do not have the courage to make such a decision.In the end, it was Li Longji who helped the emperor up and asked Cui Hao to place a porcelain pillow under the emperor's neck. "Where's the queen?" Li Longji softly asked Princess Anle who was sitting on the side drinking tea. "The queen summoned the governors of the three provinces in the Wude Hall to study emergency countermeasures." Princess Anle didn't feel much sorrow when facing the death of her biological father, only nervousness appeared on her face.

"Who is the crown prince?" Seeing Princess Anle frowning and staring at him, Li Longji said obediently: "I still expect my sister to take care of me." Princess Anle didn't make a sound.After all, Li Longji is the son of King Xiang, no matter how stupid Princess Anle is, she would never reveal her true thoughts to him.She was really thinking about the situation in Wude Palace in her heart, wondering if the queen mother could make her the empress dowager to inherit the great treasure. The news from the Hall of Martial Virtue came one after another.The seals of the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu and the imperial seal of the emperor have all been sent to the Wude Hall, where the empress and the prime ministers are working together.

The first decree issued was to order Xue Sijian, the general of the Zuojian gate guard and internal servant, to lead 500 troops to Junzhou in the starry night, and imprison the former prince Qiao Wang Li Chongfu. The second decree is to enlist 50,000 government soldiers to be stationed outside Chang'an City, and they will be stationed outside the city of Chang'an. Commander Song, in case of incidents.Wei Yuan, a member of Zhongshushe, led the left and right Jinwu guards to patrol the Chang'an market to prevent small disturbances at night. There is no news about the prince.
