Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Du He nodded, then followed Donggong Qianniu and the guards to the Donggong Palace.

Inside Mingde Hall.

The energetic Li Chengqian was reviewing memorials carefully, while Crown Princess Su Wan was kneeling beside him, carefully changing the medicine on his injured leg.

Su Wan said softly, "Your Highness, your leg injury has recovered very well. Doctor Sun said that you can increase your walking time during this period."

"Ah."

Li Chengqian responded while reviewing the memorials.

These days he also clearly felt that walking with this injured leg was much stronger than before.

And with the crutches made by Du He, he doesn't need anyone's support when walking, and he doesn't have to worry about falling.

When Su Wan saw Li Chengqian's serious look, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Ever since the prince won a great victory on the Liaodong battlefield and returned triumphantly, he has become more positive and full of confidence.

His every move gave the impression of a wise ruler.

Just then, Du He walked in from outside the hall.

"See His Royal Highness, Crown Princess."

Li Chengqian quickly put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Du He, don't be so polite. Sit down and talk."

Su Wan changed the medicine for Li Chengqian, then stood up and nodded to Du He with a smile.

She took the replaced medicine and said, "Your Highness, you have something important to discuss. I will go and help Juer with his studies first."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

After Su Wan left Mingde Hall, Li Chengqian turned to look at Du He, and his expression became strange.

"Du He, did you go to Baihua Tower the day before yesterday?"

Du He was startled and asked curiously, "Your Highness, why do you ask this?"

According to Li Chengqian's personality, he would not care about the private lives of his staff.

If you ask me this all of a sudden now, there must be a reason.

Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "After the worship of the Imperial Ancestral Temple yesterday, my father hosted a banquet for all the royal family members and concubines in the palace."

"After the banquet, Prince Teng Li Yuanying's mother, Consort Liu Baolin, came to see me privately."

Forehead...

When Du He heard that Concubine Liu went to see Li Chengqian in person, he already guessed the reason.

It was nothing more than asking Li Chengqian to surrender and beg for mercy.

Although Li Yuanying was arrogant and domineering, Liu Baolin, who came from the Hedong Liu family, was a smart person and she recognized the current situation clearly.

If Li Yuanying, Du He and Cui Shenji were allowed to fight to the death, it would probably be Prince Li Yuanying who would suffer in the end.

Li Chengqian continued, "Concubine Liu asked me for mercy, saying that Prince Teng was ignorant and offended you, and I hope you won't take it personally."

"Although Prince Teng is arrogant, domineering, extravagant and licentious, his nature is not that bad."

"If he hasn't caused you any concrete damage, then forget it. After all, he's still a child."

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the corner of Du He's mouth twitched.

Isn’t Li Yuanying’s nature bad?

It was only because Li Yuanying was born into the royal family. If he had been born into an aristocratic family, he would have been punished by the court for the crimes he had committed.

Moreover, after hearing Li Chengqian's evaluation of Li Yuanying, and thinking of the second important news that Yin Yushan said last night, Du He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Li Chengqian saw Du He laughing, so he asked curiously, "Du He, why are you laughing?"

Du He said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, the Prince of Wei's aide Yin Yushan came to see me privately last night."

"Yin Yushan?"

Li Chengqian's tone was full of surprise.

He asked curiously, "Are you the descendant of Yin Hongzhi, the chief of Qi?"

Apart from Concubine Yin in the imperial palace, there are only one or two descendants of Yin Hongzhi with this surname.

Du He smiled and said, "That's right, Yin Yushan is Yin Hongzhi's legitimate daughter!"

Upon hearing the news, Li Chengqian frowned tightly.

Unexpectedly, the remnants of the Yin family not only harmed the King of Qi, but now they are targeting Li Tai.

Moreover, Li Tai, who claimed to be smart, dared to recruit such a person under his command in order to compete with him for the throne.

It's really stupid!

Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice: "Du He, what did Yin Yushan say to you?"

Du He said softly, "She asked me for a favor, saying that the King of Wei was planning to take her as his princess, and asked me to dissuade His Majesty from rejecting the King of Wei's request."

"In exchange, she told me two important pieces of news!"

Having said this, Du He paused slightly.

Under Li Chengqian's anxious gaze, Du He spoke in a low voice.

"According to Yin Yushan, the King of Han Li Yuanchang and the King of Teng Li Yuanying have both sided with the King of Wei!"

"What!" Li Chengqian's voice suddenly became louder. He asked anxiously, "The current situation is very good for me. Why would the King of Han betray me?"

"And the King of Han is one of the core members of the rebellion. He knows all the plans we made before!"

Li Chengqian's face was filled with horror, and his chest was rising and falling violently.

Because Li Yuanchang knew all the details of their rebellion, if he was used by Li Tai to reveal them, it would probably cause big trouble.

Du He shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we need to send someone to investigate whether the King of Han has rebelled against the Eastern Palace."

"Of course, the King of Han may not say it out loud. After all, he is also a participant, and speaking out will not do him any good."

"Even if he was kicked in the head by a donkey and told these things to the King of Wei, we don't have to worry too much, because the King of Han has no evidence, and his words alone are useless!"

Once Li Yuanchang exposed these things, although it would not shake Li Chengqian's position, it would definitely arouse Li Shimin's suspicion.

Being suspected by the emperor is a bad thing.

Hearing Du He's words of comfort, and seeing Du He's calm expression, Li Chengqian's expression softened slightly and he spoke.

Whether the King of Han has rebelled is also Yin Yushan's one-sided opinion.

It is hard to say whether Li Tai sent her to sow discord between them.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Du He, when Pei Xingjian takes over the spy team, immediately have him send people to keep an eye on the King of Wei and the King of Han!"

"Don't be idle during this period. I will leave the East Palace's spy team to you!"

"Not only do you have to keep track of the spies' roster, but you also have to prevent people from other forces from infiltrating the East Palace's spies!"

Although Pei Xingjian was in charge of commanding the spies, the person Li Chengqian trusted the most was Du He.

Therefore, Li Chengqian planned to hand over the chief of this spy team to Du He.

Du He nodded and said, "Okay."

It just so happened that he had to deal with the Jingzhao Du family during this period of time. With the spies from the Eastern Palace around, it would be much easier for him to do things later.

Li Chengqian then asked curiously, "Why is Prince Teng also hanging out with Prince Wei?"

Du He guessed, "Your Highness, the King of Wei is trying to win over members of the royal family. I'm afraid he will start a rebellion soon."

The power of one person is weak, but if more people from the royal family participate, their power cannot be underestimated.
