Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Just as Li Yuanchang was worried, in the city of Chang'an that followed, there were indeed jittery rumors.

The entire city is vigorously searching for assassins and suspicious persons.

Fortunately, the initial search scope was those squares where ordinary people lived.

It has less impact on the mansions of the royal relatives, princes and ministers around the imperial city.

This also left enough time for Li Yuanchang to hide the secrets in the mansion.

On the other side, in front of Zhang Xuansu's mansion.

Dai Zhou, Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian and others all witnessed this extremely bloody scene.

Especially Li Chengqian, who had never been in contact with such a scene, when he smelled the bloody smell.

Gagging on the spot.

As for the bloody scene, he just glanced at it and didn't dare to look at it again.

Seeing him like this, the surrounding ministers also hurriedly comforted him and invited him to the side.

At this time, the family members in Zhang Xuansu's mansion had already started crying and wailing around.

The professional butlers in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have already begun to examine the corpses and wounds.

At this moment, Dai Zhou, Liu Dewei and others' faces were as sinking as water.

Even if there is no news from Wu Zuo, their experience alone is enough to judge.

The killer who assassinated Zhang Xuansu and the book boy Zhang An this time is definitely not an ordinary person!

Those imperial guards who were responsible for escorting Zhang Xuansu have all been taken down and locked up tightly.

After all, when something like this happened, they were the most responsible.

The suspicion is also the biggest.

As time got late, Li Chengqian returned to the mansion under the consolation and strict escort of everyone after comforting Zhang Xuansu's family.

Until he saw the heart that had been waiting there quietly.

His complexion improved slightly.

As for the Crown Princess Su at this time, she was already terrified by Xinxin.

Today she just talked about Zhang Xuansu in secret, and Zhang Xuansu was so angry that he wanted to go to the palace to sue the imperial court.

But then he heard the news that Zhang Xuansu had encountered two assassinations in succession, and the news that he had died was like a thunderbolt out of thin air.

Don't even think about it, Zhang Xuansu must have been murdered by this Xinxin colluding with the King of Han!

But what scares her the most is that this Xinxin is currently in the Eastern Palace.

her side.

For a moment, she was a woman, completely panicked.

I don't know who is the spy by my side, and who can really trust me.

And in the past hour or so just now, she can always see that Xinxin is extremely gloomy and cold in various palaces and occasions.

A shadow like a ghost.

This invisible fear could suffocate her.

At this moment, she really wanted to hold the child and escape from the Eastern Palace, either in the Imperial Palace or back to her natal home.

Only he didn't want to and didn't dare to stay in the East Palace.

On the other side, in the prince's study.

Li Chengqian took off his coat gently.

Then he sighed very tiredly and sat down on the bed.

"Oh, Xinxin, you may not be able to imagine what kind of big event happened outside today."

"That Zhang Xuansu was stabbed to death in the street."

"I really don't understand."

"He Zhang Xuansu is such a stubborn old man, why do these people want to kill him?"

At this time, I saw Xin, with an extremely sad expression, knelt down in front of Li Chengqian pitifully and slowly.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian naturally stretched out his hand to help.

"Xingxin, what are you doing?"

"Get up soon!" However, Xin Xin shook her head slightly, and said slowly with a choked voice.

"His Royal Highness, Xin Xin is a guilty person who caused a catastrophe."

"Your Highness, please execute Xin Xin with your own hands."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned even more.

"Look at what you're talking about?!"

"Well, I'll execute you for what!"

"And, even if you make a big mistake, don't be afraid, don't you have me to back you up?!"

At this moment, Xin Xin shook her head slowly.

"Your Highness doesn't know anything."

"Your Highness, you can't protect me for the mistake I made this time."

"That Zhang Xuansu died precisely because of his desire..."

Upon hearing his words, Li Chengqian's eyes widened and his scalp became numb.

"You... what did you say?!"

Chapter 635 Li Chengqian's Roar

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression of disbelief and horror, he was satisfied kneeling on the ground.

He told about the thing that he had overheard that the princess conspired with Zhang Xuansu to go to the palace to sue and ask His Majesty to execute him.

"Your Highness, Xin Xin is a miserable and humble person."

"It is a great honor to be loved and favored by Your Highness in this life."

"Being able to die for His Highness, Xin Xin also dies without any regrets."

"It's just that if you want to die physically and mentally, it's His Highness's foot disease that hasn't been cured, so all previous efforts will be wasted."

"It will go back to the way it was, and it will continue to deteriorate."

"Furthermore, for Xin to appear beside His Highness, the Emperor and the important officials of the Tang Dynasty will definitely consider it unethical and contrary to the holiness."

"At that time, Your Highness, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will definitely be extremely implicated."

"To be serious, even if it is used by cronies of other princes, it is not certain that the crown prince will change his position."

"So, I was so bold, I ran out and secretly told the King of Han."

"He was also loyal to Your Highness, and in the end he bet all his wealth and planned this assassination."

"Nowadays, all actions are done extremely covertly, and no one will track down the King of Han and the prince."

"What you should do, has been done."

"Your Highness, please execute the death if you wish."

"Also, before you die, you have to ask His Highness."

"This matter must not cause chaos to the princess again."

"Otherwise, once news of the assassination of the prince's junior teacher Zhang Xuansu gets out, your Highness will not be able to keep your position as the prince no matter what..."

Hearing what Xin said, Li Chengqian's mind went blank and turned into a mess.

Hearing all this was like dreaming or listening to a story in his ears.

There was absurdity and a sense of unreality everywhere.

How can I be so good, I sent an assassin to kill my teacher Zhang Xuansu? !

Thinking about the anger of his father and many ministers in the imperial study today, he shuddered in his heart.

If this matter were really leaked out, he would really be in a desperate situation.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Chengqian didn't feel any better.

Instead, he returned to his bedroom angrily.

After rejecting all the maids and eunuchs, and taking the little prince away together.

The Crown Princess Su over there just called out "His Royal Highness" in horror, but Li Chengqian slapped him fiercely with anger.

This blow was so powerful that it directly made the Crown Princess Su Shi cry.

The fear and grievance in my heart are even worse.

At this moment, Li Chengqian squatted viciously in front of the Crown Princess Su Shi, glared at her and growled, "You damned woman!"

"You want to murder me?!"

At this time, the crown princess Su replied with trepidation while shedding tears of grievance: "I am your highness's crown princess, how can I harm your highness..."

At this moment, Li Chengqian snorted angrily, "You hid it from me and secretly instigated that Zhang Xuansu to enter the palace to sue my father."

"I want to put Xinxin to death."

"At that time, who will treat my foot disease?!"

"Don't you think that I, a prince who can't even walk alone, can really sit firmly in the position of prince?"

"Can you really ascend to the throne?"

"Like King Wei, King Wu, or even King Jin Li Zhi, which princes are all staring at the location of the East Palace?!"

"Even if you don't talk about the foot illness, once the satisfaction is reported to the father by Zhang Xuansu."

"Once this kind of thing that hurts the holiness is spread, can I, the prince, not be implicated?!"

"At that time, under the criticism of the great Confucianists in the imperial court and the literati in the world, do you think I will have a good death?!"

"You said, your stupid way, didn't it hurt me?!"

Under Li Chengqian's roar and reprimand, with tears in her eyes, Crown Princess Su, who was squatting on the ground, was extremely frightened and kept shaking her head.

At this time, the anger in Li Chengqian's heart dissipated a little, and then he warned her very harshly: "Now, Zhang Xuansu is dead, the whole thing is done, and there is no turning back."

"No one knows about it except you."

"If you still have such a woman's view and are so stupid, then wait to be buried with me."

"At that time, my crown prince will be abolished, and you will no longer be able to become the future queen."

"As for the child?"

"Hmph, I will also be ridiculed, I am afraid that even ordinary wealthy children are inferior."

"And all of this was caused by you, the idiot-like princess!"

"That's all for now, and I don't want to say anything more."

"As for Xinxin, don't make any more decisions about him."

"It's enough to be your princess!"

……

The next day, Dai Zhou, Liu Dewei, Xue Zhang and others questioned everyone involved in this incident.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, the three prime ministers, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, and Fang Xuanling, were present at the trial.

Right now, the most important thing in Chang'an City is to arrest the murderer and solve the case as soon as possible.

"Li Anyan, why did the living assassin you caught that day die in your hands?"

Hearing Liu Dewei's question, Li Anyan who was standing in the lobby couldn't help frowning, and looked up at him coldly.
