Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

In the Dagan Imperial Palace, the atmosphere at this time reveals a sense of oppression that is about to storm.

Li Changshou led Gu Fan all the way into the palace. Wherever he went, the atmosphere was oppressive. The palace maids and eunuchs walked cautiously with their heads down, as if they were afraid that they would walk too loudly and cause themselves to be killed.

The entrances and exits of the palace looked the same as before, but with a casual glance, Li Changshou found that there were more than three times more guards than usual!
"An eventful autumn."

Li Changshou expresses his feelings. Although he is the culprit behind all this, others don't know.

Gu Fan followed behind and heard the words, and quickly said: "Your Highness, our Imperial City Secretary's duty is to protect the safety of the palace. Will His Majesty's assassination affect His Highness this time?"

With this period of contact, Li Changshou never put on airs in private.

What's more, they treat Gu Fan's mother from time to time, so the relationship between the two is no longer that of ordinary superiors and subordinates, and they can be regarded as teachers and friends in private.

Li Changshou shook his head after hearing this, "It's hard to say, although the emperor entrusted me to take charge of the imperial city department because of the assassination of his mother and concubine, whether this matter will disappoint the emperor depends on the meeting."

He didn't take it seriously at all, and completely guessed the truth behind the assassination of the emperor's old son today.

But he will not tell the truth, otherwise it will only increase suspicion.

"It's a dereliction of duty, and I failed to arrange a good manpower. If your majesty wants to punish the humble official, he is willing to bear it all!"

What is loyalty is not superficial bragging and flattery, but being willing to stand up and take the blame for the master at critical moments, even willing to die!
This is true loyalty.

Li Changshou couldn't help shaking his head, "Father really wants to convict you, but you can't bear it alone."

"Your Highness!"

Gu Fan was a little puzzled, he was becoming more and more convinced of Li Changshou now.

Although he is the son of a demon concubine, and his mother is reputed to be the culprit of the chaos, but after a period of contact, Gu Fan discovered that the prince Li Changshou is different from the rumors, not to mention who can treat his mother if something happens to Li Changshou?
Be it public or private, Gu Fan didn't want to see Li Changshou be convicted or even thrown into prison.

"Needless to say, it's not clear what's going on now, and as the envoy of the imperial city, if I really want to ask the crime, you shouldn't be the one to take the blame, it must be alone!"

The unquestionable arbitrariness made Gu Fan look admiring.

He has also been an official for many years, and he is used to seeing intrigues in the imperial court and even framing each other in the Imperial City Department.

Even the former envoy of the imperial city was by no means a thing. There were many examples of people who made mistakes and often dragged out their subordinates to take the blame.

If it happened today, it was the former Imperial City Commissioner, so don't ask him, this Deputy Imperial City Commissioner is most likely a scapegoat.

This is the reason why the Imperial City Division did not have a deputy envoy before, because the previous crime was thrown into the sky prison.

The two entered the palace all the way, and the maids and eunuchs they met halfway gave way one after another.

The Secretary of the Imperial City enjoys privileges, and Li Changshou is a prince and prince. Even the prince cannot enter the palace at will, but Li Changshou can.

"It's all like this, and the relationship value still hasn't broken through 90. It seems that we still have to start with his mother Gu Xiaoya."

The reason why Li Changshou is righteous is that he should bear the guilt by himself, and he doesn't need Gu Fan, a subordinate, to take the blame.

Firstly, he had the confidence to guess that today's assassination of the emperor's old son was a scene he directed and acted on himself, and secondly, he wanted to further subdue Gu Fan and make him his diehard fan.

These days, the relationship between the two has been scanned by the system and has always remained at 89 points. This level is enough to prove that Gu Fan is loyal, but it is still not enough to make people feel at ease.

Only by breaking through 90 points can you change from loyal to foolish, and become his true diehard fan!

Soon, the two came to the Royal Garden.

From a distance, in the imperial garden, many masters of the Imperial Forest Army and the Imperial City Division were surrounded.

At this moment, the old emperor was sitting in the gazebo with a livid face, and the eunuchs and maids around him were all shivering and prostrate on the ground.

"Bastards, they are all useless bastards!"

Before Li Changshou got close, he heard Emperor Qianming's furious scolding.

It's hard to imagine that an emperor, the king of a country, would yell at him in such a disregard of his image, which shows how raging the anger in his heart is at this moment.

Everyone was too scared to say anything, their faces turned pale.

The imperial concubine tried her best to comfort her, "Your Majesty, calm down, don't hurt the dragon's body with a group of servants."

"They're all trash, a bunch of trash! What's the use of raising you? Ah! You're talking! What's the use!"

Emperor Qianming was furious, and his face was extremely ugly. The people inside and outside the gazebo were all pale, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads one after another.

"There are so many people, huh!? The Imperial Forest Army, Imperial City Secretary, and the guards around me. With so many of you, you can't even catch an assassin. How dare you let those assassins sneak into the palace and come in front of me to assassinate you?"

Emperor Qianming is angry, but only Li Changshou knows who the anger is directed at.

When he came outside the gazebo, Emperor Qianming still scolded him angrily, "You bastards are not as loyal as Xiao Aiqing. If Xiao Aiqing were not in the palace today, wouldn't I die at the hands of those assassins?!"

Li Changshou took a look, and sure enough, apart from the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in the gazebo, the imperial concubine was sitting beside Emperor Qianming to comfort him, while the commander of the imperial army on the other side, Xiao Pang, knelt on one knee, his face was deep and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Father, my son came too late to save me, and I still hope that my father will punish me!"

Li Changshou is a smart man, so he quickly entered the gazebo and took the initiative to plead guilty, "It's my minister's poor arrangements that caused those assassins to sneak into the palace and scare my father and mother concubine. This minister is guilty!"

In the current situation, only Li Changshou dared to speak up, and the rest of the people were too frightened by Emperor Qianming's anger to say anything.

Gu Fan is not qualified enough, so he can only stay ten feet away from the gazebo and wait, but he can hear what happened in the gazebo.

"Shou'er, you child! Your father entrusted you to take care of the Imperial City Department, how could you be so dereliction of duty?"

When the imperial concubine saw Li Changshou entering the palace, she quickly pretended to reprimand her, and at the same time quietly signaled with her eyes. Li Changshou knew that it was exactly as he expected, and that Emperor Qianming's performance was actually a little too much, too much force.

But it doesn't matter.

"It's my son, damn it!"

"Forget it, your mother and concubine are just worried that I didn't intend to blame you, and you have just taken charge of the Imperial City Department, and you will be punished with no salary for the next year!"

Gan!
Old man!
Why do you want to test the commander-in-chief of the imperial army to direct and perform a bitter show, and now let him take the blame?
gave you a face, didn't it?
Li Changshou groaned in his heart, but now is not the best time to kill the king and plot rebellion, at least wait until he is sure to kill the land fairy in the palace.

In addition, inside and outside the court, he had to win over a group of his diehard fans, and he would have his own team when he ascended the throne and became an emperor.

Otherwise, the entire court would be a group of rebels, so could it be that he killed them all?
Be a bachelor commander?
"Thank you, Father!"

Li Changshou showed tears of gratitude, and the noble concubine showed a teachable appearance when she saw it. She is now more and more satisfied, and occasionally thinks that she wanted to kill her last child, and always feels lucky and regretful.

"Your Majesty, Shou'er is a filial child, but he is inexperienced. After a lot of experience, he will definitely be able to relieve His Majesty's worries and labors."

The imperial concubine will never let go of any chance to become a queen, but now her goal is not only to become a queen herself, but also to push Li Changshou to the throne of the prince.

Emperor Qianming didn't think much about it, and nodded subconsciously, "Shou'er is much more thoughtful than the other bastards who are useless, and it's not in vain for Zhen and Aifei to trust him."

You trust a fart!
Li Changshou sneered, but still hurriedly said: "This is what a minister, a minister, and a son of man should do!"

"If those brothers of yours have the awareness you have, I will be less angry and live a few more years."

Emperor Ganming was very happy to hear that.

"Bah, bah, bah, your Majesty is talking nonsense again. You are the Son of Heaven. With the blessing of God, you will surely live a long life and live younger. This great dynasty and the world still need His Majesty, and the people of the world cannot do without His Majesty." You."

Ouch, oh my!

Li Changshou almost vomited, and he tried to hold back it so he didn't show it. Seeing the imperial concubine over there with a smile on his face, Emperor Qian Ming turned from cloudy to sunny, and laughed heartily with his face full of anger. He couldn't help but feel disgusted at the same time. I deeply admire it!
He still can't match the skill of coaxing people, so he needs to learn a lot.

"It's still my concubine who knows my heart. Fortunately, I still have my concubine by my side. You Shou'er cares so much, otherwise I will be pissed off by these bastards sooner or later!"

Finally, Emperor Ganming calmed down a bit.

Even Xiao Pang, the commander of the Imperial Army who was kneeling on one knee, raised his head and cupped his hands at this moment, saying: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, it is ridiculous for some Xiaoxiao to try to assassinate His Majesty!"

"Xiao Aiqing is alive, thanks to having you here today, otherwise hum!"

Emperor Ganming was faintly angry again, the imperial concubine quickly reached out and tugged Emperor Ganming's sleeve, the latter also reacted with a relaxed expression, and waved his hands at the same time, "Forget it, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A group of court ladies and eunuchs, including those outside the gazebo, were all relieved.

Li Changshou took a slight look at Xiao Pang, and then couldn't help thinking of Xiao Pang's wife Fang Rou, which was more or less weird.

Now that the assassins have fled, almost all of the huge palace is being searched, but Li Changshou understands that it is impossible to find them. As for the identities of those assassins, they must be the elders in the imperial court.

Only in this way can Xiao Pang be forced to take action himself.

This was indeed the case. After he entered the palace, Xiao Pang left the palace on the pretext of returning to the Forbidden Army camp.

As soon as he left, Emperor Gan Ming's already calm face turned livid again.

At the same time, he waved his hand and screened back to the left and right, and Li Changshou also understood, and immediately nodded to Gu Fan outside the gazebo, "Go and wait outside the imperial garden."

After there was no one around, only Emperor Qianming, Concubine Gui and Li Changshou were left in the gazebo.

But this time.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared in front of the three of them.

"His Majesty."

The person who came was Eunuch Liu. It turned out that he had not left the palace. Li Changshou knew it a long time ago. After all, the system map can lock the location and he can see it clearly at a glance.

The map shows that after leaving the palace, Xiao Pang did not go back to his residence, but went straight to the imperial camp.

"how?"

Emperor Qianming asked in a deep voice.

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and replied, "The old servant tried a few tricks just now, Commander Xiao's martial arts is by no means a beginner's level, but he still has some reservations."

Sure enough, it was a temptation, and even among those few assassins was Eunuch Liu.

How can Emperor Qianming not understand?
He groaned angrily on the spot, "Okay, okay! One or two will treat me as a fool!"
