Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

When Li Zhi saw a large group of people rushing towards him from both sides, and a large number of people also walking out from the opposite side of Qujiang Lake, his panicked heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

Fell into a trap!

Li Zhi suddenly turned his head and said to Wu Meiniang with a sad face.

"Mei...Mei Niang, is this a trap set up by you and the Crown Prince?"

"why?"

When he spoke, his teeth bit his lower lip until it bled.

Li Zhi usually just pretends to be cowardly and indecisive, but he is not a stupid person. When he sees the current situation, he knows what is going on.

He never expected that the woman he loved most would treat him in this way.

He suddenly felt his heart twitch, followed by a piercing pain.

Wu Meiniang took out a clean handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from the corner of Li Zhi's mouth.

She said softly, "Your Highness, I am a concubine in the harem. If I frame you with the Crown Prince, wouldn't I be pushing myself into the fire?"

"Come sit down and let's be quiet for a while before they catch us back."

Then she pointed at the people around her and said with a helpless look on her face.

"We are surrounded by the prince's men. We can't escape."

"The concubines in the harem are staying with the prince. Even if nothing happened between us today, we can't escape the charge of adultery."

When Li Zhi heard Wu Meiniang's words, a look of relief first appeared on his face, but then he was filled with panic and regret.

Hey!

I should have listened to my uncle's advice at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

I don’t know how my father will punish him if he knows about this?

The emperor should be furious, right?

Hearing the footsteps getting closer from both sides, Li Zhi sat down as if resigned to his fate.

He glanced at the red setting sun, then turned to look at the beautiful Wu Meiniang, and his heart gradually became calm.

How wonderful it would be if we could stay in this moment forever!

Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Mei Niang, do you regret it?"

A few breaths of silence.

Wu Meiniang whispered, "Why would I regret my choice?"

Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Li Zhi curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile.

He looked at the young and beautiful Wu Meiniang affectionately, and the desire in his heart that had been suppressed by fear once again erupted like a volcano.

suddenly.

Li Zhi hugged Wu Meiniang in his arms and kissed her on the lips in front of the astonished gazes of Wu Meiniang and several palace maids.

After counting the interest.

Li Zhi let go of Wu Meiniang, who had a complicated expression on her face, and said with a look of relief on his face.

"I have no regrets in this life!"

Wu Meiniang looked at Li Zhi, who had a smile on his face. She said with a hint of sadness, "Your Highness is indeed a passionate man. It's a pity that we met at the wrong time."

Li Zhi shook his head slightly.

He pointed at the setting sun in front of him and said, "Mei Niang, let's enjoy the sunset for a while."

"Ah."

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly.

After more than ten breaths, there was a burst of dense footsteps suddenly coming from under the platform, and soon a large group of people wearing official robes of various colors came up.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang did not move at all, they just quietly admired the sunset.

As for the palace maids standing behind them, they had already collapsed to the ground in fear.

None of the officials dared to move or say anything. They just watched Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang quietly.

After a while, Pei Xingjian, Cui Shenji, Cui Yixuan and others came up.

After watching the scene in front of them, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corners of their mouths.

It really proves the saying that even if you die under the peony flowers, you will still be romantic even as a ghost!

At this time, Li Zhi still had the mind to appreciate the sunset.

Pei Xingjian walked over and bowed, saying, "Your Highness the Prince of Jin, Miss Wu, please follow me back to the palace."

"Don't make things difficult for me!"

Hearing Pei Xingjian's words, Li Zhi's body trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He and Wu Meiniang looked at each other, then propped themselves up and stood up.

Li Zhi knew that Pei Xingjian was giving him respect, and if he resisted in any way, he would definitely be ordered to be detained and taken back to the palace.

This man is the second lackey under Li Chengqian. His style of doing things is the same as that of the evil villain Du He, and he can do anything.

When Li Zhi saw Hou Shanye standing behind Pei Xingjian, his face suddenly changed.

After pretending to be calm for so long, I can't hold it back anymore.

Hou Shanye also served as the legal officer of the Prince of Jin's Palace, and he trusted him very much. He didn't expect that he was actually Li Chengqian's man!

Extremely hateful!

Feeling Li Zhi's murderous gaze, Hou Shanye felt a chill on his back and lowered his head guiltily.

"Humph!"

Li Zhi snorted coldly.

He shook his sleeves and then walked down the platform with a gloomy face.

Wu Meiniang looked at Pei Xingjian thoughtfully, then slowly followed Li Zhi.

After the two of them walked down from the platform, Pei Xingjian gave orders to Hou Shanye.

"Hou Sizhi, lock these palace maids up in the Dali Temple. No one is allowed to visit them before they are interrogated."

"promise!"

Hou Shanye responded respectfully, and then ordered the people from the Dali Temple to detain these palace maids.

Pei Xingjian waved his hand and said, "Return to the palace and report today's situation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone bowed and shouted.

"As ordered!"

These people didn't do anything, they just acted as witnesses.

He didn't even say a word to Cui Yixuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, the whole time. He just followed Pei Xingjian wherever he went.

...

East Palace.

Mingde Hall.

Li Chengqian walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. He stopped in front of Du He and spoke with a somewhat anxious tone.

"Du He, why haven't Pei Xingjian and the others sent back any news yet?"

"Will there be any accidents?"

According to his original estimate, Pei Xingjian should have taken Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang back to the palace more than half an hour ago.

But it was almost evening now, and there was still no news of success.

Du He put down the lamb chops he had eaten, smiled and shook his head.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Since there has been no news from Shouyue for so long, it proves that the operation has not failed, and he is fully confident."

"Let's be on guard against Zhangsun Wuji's counterattack!"

Hearing Du He's words, Li Chengqian frowned.

Think for a moment.

Li Chengqian asked in a low voice, "Du He, do you really think Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and the others will attack me today?"

"But it's almost evening now, and there's still no movement!"

After lunch, Du He suddenly went crazy for some reason and asked him to be on high alert in the East Palace.

It is also said that Changsun Wuji would use the trick of causing trouble for the concubines to deal with him.

In his opinion, Du He was completely overly suspicious.

Now the staff of Prince Jin's Mansion are so busy trying to exonerate Li Zhi that they have no energy to deal with him.

Du He said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, Zhangsun Wuji is very courageous and bold. He knows that Prince Jin is beyond redemption, and he will definitely try every possible means to drag you down with him!"

"Even if they don't take action today, they will do it in the next few days!"
