Seeing that Wu Chengsi still asked him, Li Cunxi couldn't pretend not to hear it.

"Your Highness Prince Wei, Cunxi's uncle is still here."

Li Cunxi quickly brought up Di Renjie.

Di Renjie stroked his beard and smiled faintly:

"I will accept the King of Wei's kindness on behalf of Cunxi, but we will be leaving tomorrow, so we really need to rest and recuperate tonight."

Wu Chengsi shook his head with regret.

"It seems that tonight, only I can enjoy the exquisite Western striptease."

Li Cunxi closed his eyes and thought to himself, no wonder Wu Zetian had no hope for him.

It turns out that you made all this up yourself.

Being able to say such things in public, wouldn't he be a tyrant if he became emperor?

……

Because of Di Renjie's sudden return, Wu Zetian made a temporary decision to return to the palace early.

According to the rules, we should have vegetarian meal in the temple today, but now we will skip it.

In order to ensure that everyone could eat the imperial meal in time after returning to the palace, Hu Jinghui took a dozen Qianniu Guards and went back to the palace first.

At this moment, Li Cunxi was stunned facing the imperial carriage outside the temple and the carriages of several other adults.

like……

My uncle doesn’t have a carriage to ride in.

"Huaiying, we haven't seen each other for several years. Come with me today and return to the palace together."

Wu Zetian happily invited Di Renjie to join them.

"I would rather obey your command than disrespect you." Di Renjie agreed, and then glanced at Li Cunxi, "My nephew..."

"Just come to me."

Wu Chengsi got on the carriage early, then opened the curtain and greeted Li Cunxi.

"Cunxi, come to me."

Li Cunxi looked around and finally got on Wu Chengsi's carriage.

"Cunxi is terrified and has to bother the King of Wei again."

Li Cunxi smiled wryly and bowed.

Wu Chengsi had already been lying on his side. His carriage was extremely luxurious and the interior decoration was obviously worth a lot of money.

This was not the first time he sat here. Li Cunxi was already accustomed to the luxurious decorations here. He just reached out and touched the agate inlaid on the Persian carpet under his butt.

Then he moved aside.

"It's really inhumane!"

After sighing in his heart, Li Cunxi lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the people outside.

At this moment, the emperor and his ministers had already boarded the carriage, and General Huan Bin of the Qianniu Guards led the Qianniu Guards to escort everyone back to the palace.

If the snake spirit had chosen to block the emperor's way and kill him at this time, Wu Zetian would have died.

"Just now I heard from His Majesty that Di Huaiying should go to Taiyuan, the northern capital, to sweep the ancestral temple on His Majesty's behalf."

"What do you think about this?"

Wu Chengsi suddenly asked.

There was a laziness in his tone, giving people a non-threatening feeling.

It was precisely this situation that put Li Cunxi under tremendous pressure.

"Cun Xi, don't..."

"Do you want to say you don't know, or do you want to say you don't dare to say it because you're afraid that I'll find out you're very smart and then kill you?"

Wu Chengsi blocked Li Cunxi's mouth in advance, then yawned and lay down lazily on his side.

"I am going to say something I shouldn't say. If I want to kill you, you will definitely die even if Di Renjie protects you."

"Besides, the day you enter the capital, I will have ten thousand ways to kill you in the palace."

"There's really no need for you to be on guard against me. Before you grow up to be a noble, you will never become the evil that I see, the evil that brings chaos to the world."

"So, just speak up."

Li Cunxi was sweating profusely.

He is afraid.

But what Wu Chengsi said made so much sense.

The other party didn't want him to die, he just wanted to ask him if he knew.

Li Cunxi gritted his teeth and spoke truthfully:

"Everything that happened during this period is confidential. The enemy knows these things. There must be a traitor in the court."

"Your Majesty's move must be intended to attract the eyes and ears of the traitors in the court."

Half an hour ago, in the Guanyin Hall of Yuanjue Temple.

Wu Zetian restored Di Renjie's position as co-prime minister of Fengtai Luan Ge, promoted him to be the envoy of the Imperial Court, appointed him as the Grand Commander of Youzhou, and ordered him to be the imperial envoy in charge of all military and political affairs in Youzhou.

Then he asked Di Renjie to take the investigators to Taiyuan to pay homage to the dead.

Among all the people present, the only one who could see the intention of Wu Zetian's action was Di Renjie, who had discussed the matter with Wu Zetian in advance.

There were only Wu Chengsi, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Cunxi who knew the plot in advance.

Wu Chengsi asked this question unnecessarily in the carriage, but he also wanted to confirm whether Li Cunxi knew about it.

If you don't know, he has to give you a few pointers.

"You only saw one of them."

Wu Chengsi opened his eyes and said casually.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Wei, please enlighten me!"

Li Cunxi bowed.

"As for the second point, you will understand it once I tell you. Your Majesty wants to see how powerful this traitor is in the court."

"how do I say this?"

"Why, you are not afraid of me anymore?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei is right. If you really want to kill me, I'm afraid I can't even enter Chang'an. How can I ride in the same carriage with you today?"

"Well, okay, I'll tell you then."

Wu Chengsi turned over and sat up, his eyes shining with wisdom.

"First of all, who is the most likely traitor in the court? Don't think about it, just answer directly!"

"King Liang."

Li Cunxi reported Wu Sansi against his conscience.

As for why we have to talk about Wu Sansi, it is of course to pour cold water on him.

"You are right. Even you know that the most likely traitor is Wu Sansi. How could His Majesty not know?"

Wu Chengsi leaned back and said:

"Now that we know this, we must do everything we can to find out whether this matter has anything to do with Wu Sansi. If so, your majesty must change his mind."

Li Cunxi suddenly understood.

It turns out that Wu Zetian did this to find out whether this matter had any connection with Wu Sansi.

If it was related to Wu Sansi, then Wu Zetian would have to completely give up the idea of ​​making Wu Sansi the crown prince.

No one wants to make a rebellious person the crown prince.

As for why not test others?

That's totally unnecessary.

Wu Chengsi was a free-spirited man. If he really wanted to covet the throne, Wu Zetian would definitely make him the crown prince.

Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi were loyal to the Li Tang royal family. They were the kind of people who would rather assist Li Cunxi to ascend the throne than collude with foreign enemies.

Huan Bin was a third-rank official in the current dynasty, equivalent to a prime minister, so there was no need for him to collude with foreign enemies.

There are problems with Hu Jinghui, but they are not big problems. Wu Zetian would rather believe Hu Jinghui than Wu Sansi before the matter is investigated thoroughly!

"Thank you, King Wei, for your guidance."

"Be careful outside when you leave Beijing this time."

"Thank you King Wei for your concern. Cunxi will definitely keep his useful body."

"Well, I guess that the plan to go to Taiyuan to pay respects to the dead is fake. Di Huaiying will probably take you to Youzhou to investigate the case secretly. The governor Fang Qian in Youzhou probably has some problems. You should pay more attention then."

While reminding him, Wu Chengsi picked up the tea bowl which was only half full of tea and took a sip.

Li Cunxi swallowed his saliva, bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you King Wei for your reminder, Cunxi will definitely..."
