Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Why did Li Dan want to kill Li Longye?

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Wasn't it just to protect his own children that he went to such great lengths?

Obviously, Li Longji had a big plan.

Obviously, he was not going to tell Jiang Feng about his plan.

Jiang Feng and Guan Shanyun were trapped in a small space, feeling like no one could help them.

Guan Shanyun felt very upset and blamed himself.

Jiang Feng said, "We are no match for the emperor's strategy."

At this time, Jiang Feng was more worried about Li Longye's situation.

In this battle that is bound to be a failure, what will be the outcome for Li Longye?

The wedding date is approaching.

Li Longji finally came again.

He was sure of victory.

At the same time, a piece of news came that Li Longye wrote back to Jiang Feng, saying that as long as she was willing to come back and get married, he would give up the fight for the throne.

Li Longye didn't know that Jiang Feng was kidnapped by Li Longji. He just thought that she escaped without permission, and threatened him with marriage to force him to submit.

Even if you agree at this time, it may not be sincere.

After getting married and entering the bridal chamber, with the duck in the pot, can't you still take up the banner and compete for the throne?

Li Longji naturally knew this.

Jiang Feng asked: "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"

Li Longji said: "I need you to go back and marry Wu Lang."

Jiang Feng said: "What if I refuse?"

Li Longji glanced at her and said, "Why do you think I haven't killed Guan Shanyun yet?"

Jiang Feng sneered: "The prince we worship, the heir to the throne worshipped by the people, actually used such despicable means on a weak woman like me."

Li Longji said: "It doesn't matter whether the means are despicable or not, as long as it works."

Jiang Feng said: "Your Highness doesn't believe that the prince will give up the fight for the throne because of me, right?"

Li Longji said: "You are not blindly confident."

Jiang Feng said: "So, Your Highness wants a wedding, right?"

Li Longji didn't say anything.

Jiang Feng said, "Your Highness wants to take this opportunity, what for?"

Li Longji said: "Too smart is easy to die young. Isn't it better to live well?"

"I can't implicate Master Guan, nor can I put the prince in danger." Jiang Feng said.

"It seems you have no choice!" said Li Longji.

Jiang Feng was very close to Li Longji. She looked at Li Longji, raised her hand, and her sleeves swayed in front of Li Longji along with her wrist.

Li Longji smelled a faint fragrance of a young girl, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Jiang Feng said: "This is a highly toxic drug that I spent two months preparing. It is colorless and odorless and can be transmitted through breathing."

Li Longji didn't believe that she would be poisoned by just scratching him.

He looked at Jiang Feng as if he were a fool and said, "Do you think I will believe it?"

Jiang Feng said: "If you inhale this poison, you will die immediately after seven days or three days! The better your physical fitness, the faster you will get sick."

Seeing her swearing so confidently, Li Longji also began to doubt her. His face was gloomy: "How could you, a girl in the boudoir, get these things?"

Jiang Feng did not answer, and said: "If your Highness does not believe it, wait another seven or eight hours and the imperial physician will feel your pulse and find out what is wrong."

Li Longji was not one to be frightened. He asked, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Jiang Feng met the emperor's gaze, smiled, and said, "This poison attacks indiscriminately! The person who poisoned it will not be spared. If Your Highness agrees to my request, I am willing to offer you the antidote. At that time, whether to spare my life or not will be entirely up to Your Highness!"

Li Longji said bitterly: "Your life alone cannot relieve the hatred in my heart."

Jiang Feng said: "Your Highness's concubine is my elder sister. If Your Highness feels that my life is not enough, you can take her with you."

Li Longji knew about their sisters' feud, and when he heard her say that, he was so angry that he laughed and scolded her, "You are dreaming!"

Seeing that the situation had eased, Jiang Feng quickly said, "It's a matter of life and death, but Your Highness is still talking and laughing calmly. You are indeed a child of destiny!"

Li Longji felt that he couldn't be more friendly to this woman.

When he left, he took Guan Shanyun with him.

He still felt that it would be better for the two of them to be detained separately.

That night, Li Longji returned angrily.

Naturally, it was the imperial physician who discovered the strangeness of the pulse.

He got straight to the point and asked, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Jiang Feng said: "I need to know first what your highness's plan is and how to deal with Prince Xue."

Li Longji said: "Wu Lang said that you had been sure that I could become the crown prince from the beginning, and asked him to never argue with me. But now the situation is that whether it is my father, the people's hearts or the military strength, he has it all. Why do you still think I can win?"

Jiang Feng asked back: "Isn't it good that others hope that Your Highness will win?"

Li Longji thought about it for a moment, but did not argue with her. He returned to the point: "I will never kill Wu Lang!"

Jiang Feng immediately said, "What about His Majesty? Your Highness said before that His Majesty would kill the Prince!"

Li Longji looked at her and asked, "Do you know how Wulang's and my mother died?"

Lin Jinran had read in history books, and Li Longye had also confirmed it after he traveled through time, that the mother of the two brothers, Li Dan's two princesses, were chopped into pieces by Wu Zetian, and no trace of their bodies was left.

Jiang Feng didn't know why Li Longji mentioned their mother, and nodded in confusion, indicating that he knew about the tragedy.

Li Longji asked again: "Do you know why Empress Wu Zetian committed such a cruel act?"

Jiang Feng answered hesitantly: "You and Prince Xue formed a polo team and won a great victory over Tubo, which aroused Empress Wu's suspicion. In addition, Wu Sansi and others instigated..."

Jiang Feng saw Li Longji shaking his head and stopped talking.

Li Longji said: "It was because they were discussing Wu Lang's life experience in private, and Empress Zetian's spies heard it."

Jiang Feng was shocked. Could there be a secret about Li Longye's life? A secret that would allow Li Dan to kill him!

Could it be that Li Longye's mother cheated on Li Dan? !

She was shocked to see Li Longji's sad face.

He said: "Wulang is the posthumous son of the emperor who was born out of filial piety."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Jiang Feng's ears.

Who is the Filial Piety Emperor? He is the eldest son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and the elder brother of Ruizong Li Dan.

He died mysteriously in Luoyang when he was in his twenties.

He was posthumously named emperor. Because he had no son, Wu Zetian adopted Li Longji as her heir.

Jiang Feng couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Li Longji continued, "After Emperor Xiaojing died, his Crown Princess Pei also died within a year. What the world does not know is that before Emperor Xiaojing died, the Crown Princess was already pregnant. Empress Wu Zetian could not bear to see her eldest son's bloodline cut off, so she kept the posthumous child secret from everyone. It happened that Concubine Wang De gave birth, and the Empress Dowager made a substitution and kept Emperor Xiaojing's flesh and blood, who was Wu Lang."

"So, later on, Concubine De discovered the clues? And then she was silenced by Empress Zetian? Doesn't Your Majesty know?" Jiang Feng asked.

"At that time, my father was detained in the palace for a long time, and Empress Wu Zetian deliberately concealed it from him, so it is not surprising that he did not know about it. Concubine De has always been on good terms with my mother. I don't know how she found out and discussed countermeasures with my mother. Unexpectedly..." said Li Longji.

Therefore, if Li Dan knew that Li Longye was not his bloodline, he would definitely not make him the crown prince.

And in order to prevent future troubles, it is very likely to be eliminated as soon as possible.
