Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 50
Wang De sighed, and talked about how Shangfang, Du and others defended him in the past two days, how the Guanlong Group demoted him, Gao Shilian suddenly came out again, and provoked the suspicion of Li Ke among the ministers, all of them were said in various ways. .

After hearing the news, Li Ke felt something in his heart. These people who supported him were also jealous, for fear that his strategy of mobilizing the people and killing the gentry would be used on them in the future.

"The old servant will leave first. His Majesty said that after he has finished handling the political affairs, he will come to visit His Highness!"

Wang De had already retreated at this time, and Li Ke was lying on the bed, planning what to do next.

The faction of the King of Shu Party must still be worried that Li Ke will deal with them, but Li Ke is far from thinking of that. Although he has a bad impression of the gentry group, it does not mean that he wants to kill all the gentry in the world.

If these people stand firmly on his side, Li Ke will of course have to weigh the interests and consider many aspects.

Moreover, not all gentry will harm the interests of the Tang people. Under the current social situation, killing all the gentry will only create greater chaos.

You must meet them first!
Li Ke made up his mind and prepared to get up.

"Emperor brother, how are you doing?"

At this moment, Li Chengqian's voice came over.

The voice was high-pitched and clear, but it could be heard that Li Chengqian was still far away.

Li Ke smiled in his heart, this hypocritical thing deliberately yelled from a long distance, in order to let the maids and eunuchs in the Ganlu Palace know that he came to visit.

Later, when the news reached Li Shimin's ears, he would boast that Li Chengqian was generous and friendly and took care of his brothers.

Moreover, Li Chengqian didn't even know if he was awake, and he didn't care whether his yelling would affect his rest, and he only cared about putting on airs, which was disgusting.

Li Ke lay down again, Gu Zuo was weak and unconscious, only to see that Li Chengqian barged in carelessly, banging the door of the room loudly.

"My lord, how is your injury?"

Li Chengqian shouted as soon as he came in. He was only a few feet away from Li Ke at this time, but he was shouting so much that the entire Manna Hall could hear him clearly.

Li Ke was disgusted in his heart, and still closed his eyes, ignoring it.

Then Li Chengqian came closer, glanced coldly at Li Ke's bed, and then sneered.

"Hmph! This bitch died of serious injuries. It would be best if he died!"

"That Concubine Yang is still crying in the palace all day, it's ridiculous!"

Li Chengqian obviously didn't know that Li Ke had woken up, and he revealed his true nature as soon as he came in, cursing.

After cursing a few words, he flicked his sleeves again, turned around and left.

Not long after, Li Ke could hear Li Chengqian loudly exhorting the eunuch from outside the door again.

"You must take care of the emperor with all your heart, do you hear me clearly?"

His words were righteous, but in Li Ke's ears, they were so harsh.

This hypocritical dog thing!

Li Ke cursed in his heart, then got up.

Li Chengqian's words just now reminded him that he was seriously injured this time, and his mother Concubine Yang was very sad, so he had to go and visit her.

After making up his mind, Li Ke quickly changed his clothes and went out.

Wanchun Palace, this is the palace where Concubine Yang worked hard to live. Li Ke strode in and saw his mother, Concubine Yang, eating.

Concubine Yang was still dressed in plain clothes at this time, and she looked much thinner than before.

"Mother concubine!"

Li Ke was a little distressed, and he walked to the concubine mother.

"Baby pays homage to mother and concubine!"

Concubine Yang was shocked when she saw Li Ke at this time, and immediately got up and hugged Li Ke.

"Ke'er, you're awake!"

She hugged Li Ke and looked up and down, stroking Li Ke's injured part.

"Are you feeling better?"

Concubine Yang burst into tears, obviously very worried.

Seeing his mother sad for him, Li Ke felt very sorry, and hurriedly helped her to sit down.

"Mother, the baby is healed. This little injury is not a problem."

But his consolation failed to stop Concubine Yang from crying. Concubine Yang kept stroking Li Ke's wound and kept watching.

Her hands trembled slightly, and her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of touching the wound and hurting her child.

"Mother, I'm fine, you can eat first!"

Li Ke smiled. He didn't want his mother to continue worrying about his injury, so he moved away to prevent his mother from seeing his injured part.

He pushed the food on the table over: "Concubine Mu, you can eat first!"

Concubine Yang shook her head and said sadly: "How can concubine mother eat like you?"

The meals on the table did not move much, I only picked two or three bites, and they were all vegetarian dishes, not even fish.

Li Ke looked curious, and joked: "Concubine Mu, you are not eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, please pray to the Bodhisattva to bless me as soon as possible?"

He originally said a witty remark to make the concubine mother smile, but as soon as the words came out, he found that Concubine Yang quickly lowered her head, showing uneasiness on her face.

"Um...um...it's like this...I...I'm begging the Bodhisattva..."

After a while, Concubine Yang hesitated and replied.

But Li Ke had already seen the clue from her expression that the concubine mother was definitely lying.

Li Ke immediately thought that someone was embezzling his mother and concubine's meals to fill his own pockets.

His heart was burning with anger, and he immediately asked, "Who is it? Is it Zhao De'an?"

The meals in Wanchun Hall have always been in charge of the chief eunuch Zhao Dean. Although he is not close to Concubine Yang, he never dared to lower Concubine Yang's standard of meals.

But since Zhao De'an is in charge of this matter, of course Li Ke has to ask him to find out.

"No... it's not!"

Concubine Yang hurriedly got up to stop Li Ke, and said in a mournful voice, "Don't ask, it's better if you're hurt, don't cause trouble!"

But how could Li Ke endure this kind of thing?
"Mother, tell me, is it Zhao De'an?"

He sat down and asked gently.

Concubine Yang didn't speak, she lowered her head.

"Concubine Mu, you don't have to worry about me, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly!"

Li Ke stood up, ignored his mother's obstruction, and walked out.

"Zhao De'an, come here!"

Walking into the courtyard of Wanchun Palace, Li Ke shouted angrily and called Zhao De'an who was waiting outside.

That Zhao De'an is a fat man with a big brain and intestines. He is not tall, but his weight is not low. He is panting and waiting to run over.

"Meet...meet the King of Shu..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ke waved his hand and asked, "Who told you to withhold my concubine's meals?"

"This……"

Zhao De'an was taken aback for a moment, then faltered.

Li Ke sneered, at this moment he had guessed roughly that money was often embezzled in the harem, but Concubine Yang was unwilling to provoke her if she bullied her, so it was only from the lineage of Empress Changsun people.

Either Li Chengqian, or Empress Changsun.

Ordinarily, Empress Changsun would not do such a trivial matter, so the person behind this scene can only be Li Chengqian.

"Is it Li Chengqian?"

Li Ke asked openly, he was not afraid of Li Chengqian.

"Ke'er!"

At this time, Concubine Yang had also chased after her, and she said with a sad expression: "You...you don't need to ask any more..."
