The officials exclaimed again and again, only Bai Jingli was as stable as Mount Tai.Li Zhuoyu showed no fear, stepped forward to see his death, and said to Li Huan, "Father, he was poisoned."

Li Huan admired Li Zhuoyu's unruffled performance, nodded, and said to the imperial physician, "Go and see."

After looking through the corpse carefully, the imperial physician replied: "Your Majesty, he was indeed poisoned and died. I inspected it and found a red spot on his right hand. It seems that a poisoned needle pierced into the flesh and took his blood. life."

Li Chengbi always felt that it was strange that the imperial doctor kept looking at him when he was talking, but before he asked, he heard Bai Jingli said calmly from the side: "Acupuncture the right hand, but there is only one person on his right side from the beginning to the end... .”

The people below started whispering, and they all looked at Li Chengbi with astonished eyes.Li Chengbi could hear what they were saying: "His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince."

Li Chengbi understood, and denied it flatly: "It's not me! It's not me!"

Li Huan seemed to be looking at a dead person: "Who is that?"

Li Chengbi was about to cry: "How does the son know? If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can search the body of the son. I, how can I have any needles?"

Elder Xu Ge couldn't help laughing: "If you want to hide a small needle, it's easy to hide. His Royal Highness is not afraid to search you."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Chengbi is no match for these old foxes. The other party blocked his way with a single word, so he could only look at Li Huan pleadingly: "Father, if my son pricks him with a needle, he must feel it." Yes, he didn't say a word, how could it be my son who moved his hand?"

"Really?" Li Huan asked the imperial physician.

"Returning to Your Majesty, ordinary silver needles do hurt, but there are also some poisons that can numb the pain, making people unconscious when piercing the flesh."

Li Huan said indifferently: "So, this rebellious son is afraid of being told of his crimes, so he actually killed him on the court."

"I really don't have any!" Li Chengbi slapped his head like garlic, "Father, it must be Li Zhuoyu! He wants to blame my son! I just poisoned my wine, and he will put my son to death!"

"You..." Li Huan was so angry that he still didn't know how to repent.

It was Bai Jing who left the mouth: "I'm afraid you don't know. Facing all kinds of speculations from others today, the fifth prince never said a word to you. He... didn't even distinguish a word for himself, but you, every word, can't wait to put it aside. The fifth prince is dying." He bowed to Li Huan again: "I am in a hurry and heartbroken for a while, and I speak indiscriminately, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Yes, the innocent one remained silent, but the guilty one had the loudest voice.Li Huan felt more and more ashamed of Li Zhuoyu. "You're right, Zhuo Yu was wronged today...Zhuo Yu, you child, why don't you defend yourself?"

Li Zhuoyu was a little sentimental, "Ever since my son entered the palace, I have caused discord between my father and my brother, my brother has fallen into such a situation, my son really can't bear it."

Li Huan sneered: "Can't bear it? Has he ever been a little bit intolerable towards you? Zhuo Yu, you are still too young, the canonization ceremony is over."

Li Chengbi couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and thought that Li Huan was blaming Li Zhuoyu, just when he was a little happy, he heard Li Huanlang say: "Zhuoyu is a man, you have seen it, just give him the jade seal."

Bai Jingli immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty is wise."

The other courtiers were still a little dazed, but when Bai Jingli glanced at him, they immediately fell to their knees: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Zhuo Yu, are you still here to pick up the crown prince's jade seal?"

Li Zhuoyu glanced at Li Chengbi hesitantly, just as Li Chengbi was staring at him incredulously, repeating "impossible".When looking at Bai Jingli again, the latter nodded at him.

Li Zhuoyu's eyes became firm, and he walked up the steps again, and took the golden seal.

Li Huan patted him on the shoulder: "From now on, you will be the prince, you should have the consciousness to take on the responsibility of the world, and you must not be as benevolent as a woman like today."

Li Zhuoyu bowed and said: "I remember it."

The canonization ceremony was so hasty that even the corpses were still lying there.Li Chengbi looked at all this angrily, stood up suddenly, drew out the saber of the guard beside him, and rushed up the steps.

Seeing this, Li Huan exclaimed: "Stop him!" There was chaos underneath, and the two guards rushed to drag Li Chengbi, but he slashed backhandedly, severed one of the arms, and wiped the neck of the other.The officials retreated again and again, and in a short while, he screamed strangely and went up the steps, heading straight for Li Huan and Li Zhuoyu.

Li Zhuoyu quickly stood up, and pushed Li Huan aside, "Father, be careful!" He stood in front of Li Zhuoyu with his whole body, slashing his hands to snatch the knife from Li Chengbi's hand.Li Chengbi yelled: "Li Zhuoyu, you bastard! Go to hell!"

Li Huan was almost suffocated with anger: "Come on, escort!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Chengbi let out a muffled groan, and the whole person soared into the air, and fell heavily on the steps, his head was bleeding and he fell unconscious.

Zhichen knelt at the place where Li Chengbi was originally, put the knife he had snatched on the ground, and knelt down: "The grass-roots rescue is late, please forgive me, the emperor and the prince."

Bai Jingli quickly ran forward: "This is Wei Chen's servant Zhi Chen, who has been waiting outside the palace just now, and broke in after hearing the noise, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Li Huan looked at Li Chengbi, who was like a dead pig, and shook his head tiredly.Li Zhuoyu supported him: "Father, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, how about you?" Li Huan was stunned as soon as he asked, and saw Li Zhuoyu holding his hands, which were covered with blood, "Zhuoyu, your hands?"

Bai Jingli was taken aback for a moment, and rushed over to pull Li Zhuoyu to check, his expression changed immediately: "The crown prince is injured! The imperial doctor is here!"

Li Zhuoyu raised the corner of his mouth: "As long as you are fine..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and saw a wound in his lower abdomen, which was bleeding out.

Bai Jingli was taken by him and fell to the ground, covering his bleeding mouth recklessly, the warm blood soon stained his palms red, and his eyes seemed to be stained red as well.Bai Jingli's voice trembled: "You can't die, you must be safe..."

Li Huan saw tears streaming from the corners of Bai Jingli's eyes, and guessed that Li Zhuoyu's situation was urgent.Now one son is hopeless, and the other son escaped death, what should I do...

Thinking of this, Li Huan's heart beat violently, and suddenly there was a gasp in his throat, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time, the hall lost control and was in chaos.The imperial doctor was treating Li Zhuoyu's wound, while Bai Jingli was crying with Li Zhuoyu in his arms.The guards below didn't know whether to clean up the corpse, and the ministers didn't know whether to stay here, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has passed out!"

Only then did the imperial physician find Li Huan under the dragon chair, and ran to check it out, but was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Bai Jingli wiped the corners of his eyes and asked him, "How is Your Majesty?"

The imperial physician was trembling all over, "Master Yuyuyu...Your Majesty, he..."

"how?"

"He he he..." The imperial physician couldn't finish the sentence.

Bai Jingli's face became serious, and he went up to take Li Huan's hand, but found that he couldn't feel his pulse.At this time, the officials also turned all their eyes on Bai Jingli, Xu Ge asked anxiously, "Master Yu, what's the matter?"

Bai Jingli didn't make a sound, he held his breath and pressed Li Huan's carotid artery, stayed for a moment, and then went to feel the heartbeat.Then, he stood up, and slowly turned to face the ministers: "Your Majesty, please pass away."

-----------------------------------

West Palace, sleeping hall.

Li Zhuoyu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, unconscious.

The palace people dispersed, and the imperial doctor who came to treat him also resigned. At this time, he was the only one left in the bedroom except for a few eunuchs and maids serving in the palace.He stared at Li Zhuoyu's face in a daze, as if it was still like a painting.

Zhichen came in in a hurry, and the wind brought in shook the candlelight.

"My lord, according to your instructions, everything has been arranged."

Li Huan was dead, Li Zhuoyu was in a coma, and Li Chengbi, who was also in a coma, was sent to the East Palace to be locked up.Bai Jingli reacted quickly, immediately set up mourning halls for the dead, arranged medical treatment for the living, and strictly ordered the officials to keep today's events secret.Then he hurried to the West Palace to guard Li Zhuoyu, and handed over to Zhichen the finishing touches.

Bai Jingli frowned, "Well, you're bothering, go back and rest."

Zhi Chen hesitated: "My lord...how about you?"

"I'll stay here tonight." Bai Jingli said.

"My lord, this slave doesn't understand."

"what?"

Zhi Chen looked at the court ladies and eunuchs behind him, as if he had some scruples.Bai Jingli waved his hand and ordered them to retreat, only the two of them and an unconscious Li Zhuoyu were left in the room.Only then did Zhichen speak: "My lord, now that the late emperor has gone, the crown prince looks like this again. Your arrangement today is no different from that of the owner of the palace. Why don't you take advantage of this golden opportunity to make a name for yourself? From the very beginning, we... ...Isn't that the way to arrange it?"

Bai Jingli said lightly: "I have other plans, you just go back."

Zhi Chen sighed: "Your Excellency seems to have changed these days. It seems that you were a little different when you returned from the West Palace last time. After all, the Crown Prince treats you..."

"Shut up." Bai Jingli's eyes turned cold, "Zhi Chen, this is not something you should ask."

"I know my mistake." Zhi Chen bowed deeply, paused, and said, "I don't know if there are any remnants of the abolished prince, but the slave is still guarding outside, lest anyone harm the lord and the prince."

"Alright, let's go."

Zhi Chen walked out of the hall silently and closed the door.At this time, only Bai Jingli was left in the room, he got up, sat down on the bedside from the chair, and continued to stare at Li Zhuoyu.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and caressing his brow, "Li Zhuoyu...how many lifetimes are you going to entangle with me?"

The voice was not loud, but Li Zhuoyu suddenly frowned.

Bai Jingli was taken aback, and blurted out: "Li Zhuoyu? How are you?"

Li Zhuoyu gasped in pain, "It hurts so much...Father, I hurt so much..."

Bai Jingli quickly stood up, and was about to tell the imperial physician, but he heard Li Zhuoyu read a sentence in detail: "Hold my hand... and my son... grow old together..."

Bai Jingli was stunned.

Li Zhuoyu's voice became softer and softer: "Father... grow old with me..."

These words seemed to have a sharp knife, piercing through the wall surrounded by years and piercing into his ears.

After a while, Bai Jingli closed his eyes and said, "Okay."
