Chapter 83 Extra Story - Palace Change

The reversal of form came ten days later.

Li Junze remembered that that day he and the crown prince Li Qingping were drinking tea and chatting in the mansion, when the servants in the palace came to report in a hurry, saying that the emperor suddenly passed out.

The two brothers were terrified, they didn't have time to chat, Li Qingping hurried back to the palace with his servants.Li Junze wanted to follow, but his body had not recovered yet, and his leg was injured again, so Li Qingping told him to stay in the mansion and wait for Xin'er, if there was any news, he would send someone to inform him.

Although Li Junze was worried, he also understood that if he went like this, he would have to be distracted to take care of him, so it would be better to stay at home peacefully, and it would not be too late to go if something really happened.He doesn't expect that position to be around, so naturally he doesn't need to show his face to his emperor Lao Tzu.

After Li Qingping left, Li Junze was still sitting on the wicker chair. He was not used to sitting in a wheelchair because of his inconvenient legs and feet. Every time Li Qingping would personally come to pick him up and sit on the wicker chair to bask in the sun, or call someone to carry him out.

Li Junze has been listening to the letter in the mansion until the evening, but there is no news.He wasn't sure whether it was good or bad, maybe it was because his condition got worse, and it was possible that the prince was too busy.Li Junze sat quietly for a while, and then prepared to go to bed.

Just as he undressed and lay down, he heard a commotion outside.Li Junze frowned, "Come here...why is it so noisy outside?"

The people who came in did not dare to take a breath.In order to wait for the answer, Li Junze frowned even tighter, "I'm asking you something!"

The man kneeling on the ground flinched for a moment, then said tremblingly: "Just... just now a group of people came to the mansion, each with a gun and a stick, saying yes... saying yes..."

"What?" Li Junze was already displeased.

The people below trembled, "Say... say that the emperor is dead, the whole city is under martial law, and the master is not allowed to leave the house for half a step, no... otherwise, you will be shot!"

Li Junze frowned even tighter, if his father died, why the death knell hadn't sounded, and it was even more impossible for his elder brother to come to his house to impose martial law.Could it be... what happened?

Is it...

Li Junze didn't dare to think about it.

He quietly called the hidden guard who had been hiding in the dark all this time, this person was given to him by Li Qingping after his accident, and he made it clear that he would only belong to him in the future and obey his orders.Although he was a bit puzzled that Li Qingping had secretly raised the hidden guards, Li Junze still took his kindness and accepted the kindness. "Xuan Jia, I ordered you to enter the palace immediately, and take a look at the situation of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xuan Jia knelt on the ground and did not move, "Master does not allow this servant to leave you five meters away."

Li Junze's eyes darkened, "Have you forgotten what your master said when he gave you to this king?"

"You are the only one who obeys, master." Xuan Jia paused and replied honestly.

"Since that's the case, then this king is your master now, and this king orders you to enter the palace immediately to inquire about the news of the prince's elder brother!"

Xuan Jia gritted his teeth, and replied in a deep voice: "Yes. The slave obeys the order, and I hope the master will take care of himself and wait for the slave to come back."

"You go." Li Junze waved his hand, Xuan Jia had no choice but to fly out of the room, and with a few vertical leaps, his figure disappeared into the black night.

Li Junze sighed secretly, wishing everything was not as he thought.He glanced at his legs with deep eyes, if so, they are still fine...

That's all, no matter what, his grandma and his elder brother don't want him to be unhappy, just let it go.No matter who wins or loses tonight, as long as he can speak up, he must be begging for affection. How can he really see siblings killing each other but ignore it!

Li Junze sighed, the guards outside didn't dare to really disturb him, apart from some quarrels with the people in the mansion when he first came, he didn't make any big moves, probably just because he was afraid of exchanging news inside and outside.

After staying quietly until midnight, a servant came in to change the wax, and the candlelight became brighter.While the candle was crackling, Li Junze seemed to be frightened suddenly, the window was suddenly pushed open, Xuanjia was dressed in black and bloody, panting heavily and insisting not to fall down.

"Master...the emperor has passed away, master...His Royal Highness, the whereabouts are unknown...Lan Jun...Lan Jun..."

Hearing Xuan Jia suddenly mentioned his grandma, Li Junze sat up straight suddenly, "Grandma... how about grandma?"

Xuanjia's head lowered even lower, and he said after a while: "Take poison and commit suicide."

"What!" Li Junze fell off the bed, Xuan Jia hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, and put him back on the bed, during the process he encountered a wound on his body, Xuan Jia couldn't help but groan.

"You are hurt?"

Xuan Jia knelt back to the ground, "Skin trauma, not serious."

"You said my grandma... committed suicide by taking poison?"

Xuan Jia nodded silently.

"Why? Did the emperor ask him to be buried on his deathbed?"

Xuan Jia shook his head.

"That is……"

"It is said in the palace that the first emperor suddenly became seriously ill. It turned out that Lan Jun had poisoned him. Lan Jun confessed to it, and then died after taking the poison. He followed the late emperor."

Li Junze shook his head, gritted his teeth, and did not let the tears roll down his eyes.Suppressing his sobs, "You go down to treat the wound first, and then report to this king." This is his pride, and he must never cry in front of outsiders.

After Xuan Jia quietly left, Li Junze took a deep breath, buried his face in the quilt, and wept silently.

It was not until half an hour later that he stopped his grief and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face clean.He took a few deep breaths, and when his mood stabilized, he called out hoarsely to Xuanjia who had treated the wound, changed into clean clothes, and stood outside the door all the time.

"How is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Didn't he follow Tiandihuang and the other three? Why did he suddenly disappear? Don't you have a special way to communicate?"

Grandma's matter is a foregone conclusion, the only thing he cares about now is Prince Li Qingping.Li Muan?Since Li Qingping lost, the victory and defeat are obvious at a glance, how could he care about it.

Xuan Jia shook his head, "Originally it was supposed to be contacted, but the servant checked every place where traces should be left, but... nothing was found."

Xuan Jia didn't dare to speak too bluntly, thinking about it, since no traces were left behind, the three of them might be just like their masters, and the odds would be bad.

Li Junze also thought of it, Dang even stopped asking.Grandma loves her father so much, how could she poison her father for no reason.Li Qingping disappeared without a trace, no one was alive or dead, and even the three hidden guards disappeared. What is hidden here?If Li Mu'an really won the throne, why would he still be able to watch Grandma take poison.

Li Junze couldn't figure it out.In other words, he didn't want to think about it at all.If it was really as he thought, what should he do?

"Use all your strength and try your best to find the whereabouts of the prince. If you find something, report it to me alone, and don't let others know. From today on, you must hide your whereabouts well, and don't let others find out."

"Yes." Xuanjia knelt on the ground and replied in a low voice.

"You go down."

"Yes." Xuanjia got the order, and with a dodge, he disappeared.

As soon as Xuan Jia disappeared, the door over there was pushed open.The footsteps sounded gradually, and when the screen was turned, a face that Li Junze didn't want to see appeared at the moment.

"Junze." Li Mu'an, who was dressed in bright yellow, smiled and looked at Li Junze, who had an obviously unkind expression.

"You really can't wait. The emperor just passed away, so you put on this clothes. The elder brother of the prince is still alive, so it's not your turn, right?"

Li Mu'an was neither angry nor angry, with a slight smile still on the corner of his mouth, "Your words have reminded me that the Imperial Forest Army, who must have cut the weeds and rooted out the remnants of the rebels, has already set out, and my palace has already ordered death. Strike, kill, don't, Argument!"

Li Junze looked up at him in shock, "It's siblings after all, why are you so cruel. Brother Prince has never looked down on the throne, since you got it today, he will never think about taking it back."

Li Mu'an's eyes glowed with fanaticism, "Hmph... which prince doesn't want to be a great treasure, can you say that you have never thought about this position in your heart?"

"I really never thought about it."

"It was Li Qingping who took this position, how could you compete with him?" Li Mu'an suddenly became furious. "Everyone thinks he's better than me, and every one of you thinks he's better than me. Is there anything I'm not as good as him, and what's not as good as him..." Overturning the table suddenly, picking up the teapot Throw it towards Li Junze.

Li Junze didn't dodge or dodge, he let the porcelain pot full of herbal tea fall on him, the herbal tea was poured on Li Junze's body, and the teapot fell to the ground, shattered into pieces.

After Li Muan vented, a trace of regret flashed across his face, "Are...are you alright?" After all, it was his brother, not to mention that his grandma forced him to swear a poisonous oath on his deathbed, and...his anger was not in the first place. With him, how can you vent your anger on him.

"Now that the crown prince rebelled, the late emperor passed away, and at the end of his life, he issued a decree to pass on to this palace. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and this palace naturally knows the pros and cons of it, so it has decided to take the throne in three days. You can rest at home for a few days. Don’t go out of the palace because of the strange chaos outside, and you will be bumped into again. After three days, the palace will send you auspicious clothes, and you can enter the palace again at that time.”

Li Junze looked at him coldly, "How did Grandma get there?"

Li Mu'an had expected that he would ask, but he didn't expect the question to be so sudden, and his expression changed slightly, "It's none of your business."

"That's my grandma, why is it none of my business? Grandma loves her father deeply, she would never do anything poisonous, someone must frame her, how could grandma commit suicide in fear of crime?"

A series of questions from Li Junze made Li Mu'an's face turn pale, he frowned tightly, and waved his hands impatiently, "Just take care of your illness with peace of mind, these are not your responsibility, and you can't manage them, what the hell are you talking about?" Heart!"

After Li Mu'an finished speaking, he didn't wait any longer, turned around and left in a hurry, as if something was chasing and biting him behind him.

After half an hour, Li Junze exhaled lightly. From Li Muan's mouth, Li Junze at least confirmed that Li Qingping is still alive and should be safe.In any case, the confirmation of this point was enough for him to cheer.

Another thing that worries him is the death of his grandma Lanjun.However, there is no rush for this matter, and it may be difficult to get an answer from Li Muan, but as long as Li Qingping is found, the question will naturally be answered.Grandma, you are alive in heaven, please tell your son, what should we do?

Li Qingping has always been a moderate and peaceful person, but Li Muan did not expect that he would be able to escape his own snare. "Humph, it's interesting. Junze, look, your good prince brother doesn't even care about your life."

Li Junze lowered his head, his hands were tied to the two armrests of the wheelchair, his expression was obscure.

"Brother and younger brother shouted all day long, at this time, why didn't you see your good brother come to save you?" Li Mu'an suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart. His younger brother had never kissed him since he was a child. On the contrary, he often follows the elder brother of the other mother to get closer. This kind of resentment, the jealousy of being robbed of the younger brother is really depressing.

Now this kind of pleasure of revenge is filling his heart, Li Muan can no longer tell why he wants to win this position.

Originally, it seemed that he wanted to be filial to grandma, so that the younger brother could happily do whatever he wanted, but now?Grandma left for her own sake, and her younger brother was tortured by him to question the whereabouts of the abolished prince. Are these really his wishes?
